China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 432 Refresh the history, the movie is finished

In mid-February, the attention of the scandal between Cao Xuan and Zeng Li decreased. On the one hand, the heat dissipated with time, and on the other hand, another top-ranking person exposed their relationship.

Xiao Zhou and Taiwanese beauty host Hou Peichen traveled to Japan together and were photographed by the paparazzi, behaving intimately.

For so many years of Cao Xuan's "Wandering Flowers", very few people have been secretly photographed, and even if they were secretly photographed, he hardly did anything out of the ordinary. This is why he has many scandals and few real threats.

But this time the photos taken by Taiwan media, hugging, holding hands, traveling together, and suspected of staying in a hotel.

With all these things, it is really hard to believe that the two of them are innocent.

More importantly, the media picked up that the two had no work plans in Japan, they were purely for traveling, and Zhou's family and Hou's girlfriends seemed to be traveling with them.

It can be said that the paparazzi this time is definitely a textbook.

Before the exposure, many clarifications and responses from the parties were thought of, and they were all blocked in advance, in order to force Xiao Zhou to admit.

Xiao Zhou is also a bachelor. Although he did not publicly admit that his girlfriend is Hou Peichen, he also said that his music has nothing to do with his private life. Please pay more attention to his music, which is a default in a sense.

The most interesting thing is that Hou Peichen, who is an entertainment host, broadcast the scandal between himself and Xiao Zhou as the host, which can be regarded as a famous scene.

Xiao Zhou's love affair was exposed. Although he helped the big brother share part of the firepower, he also got into a big enemy.

Since he and Cai Yilin made their debut and became popular, [Double J Love] has always been a topic of great concern to the media and the outside world.

This time when the new relationship was exposed, many media harassed Cai Yilin, Zhou and Cai's fans also set off a high-intensity scolding war.

Let's just say, it's about [Double J Love] who is right and who is right, and it will be a hot topic for fans of both parties until 2022.

Xiao Zhou has a lot of black fans, transformed from fans of Cai Yilin. Many of Jay Chou's old fans also maintain resistance and even hate towards Cai Yilin.

This tells us that CP is risky, and hype needs to be cautious...

Cao Xuan didn't pay much attention to this matter, he made a phone call when the incident happened, and was relieved when he learned that Xiao Zhou was fine.

Single men and women, dating normally, is really not a problem, if it weren't for Jay Chou's popularity, there would be no such big disturbance at all.

Thanks to Xiao Zhou's blessing, Hou Peichen's fame soared. From a well-known host in Taiwan Province, she became a sister-in-law known by many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Hou Peichen, together with Zeng Damei, who is also famous and has skyrocketed, let many people know the influence of the king of heaven, and let many interested people discover a way to reach the sky.

Be a popular star and become famous overnight!
In fact, this trick is not new for a long time, but this turmoil still makes many people tempted.

Just ask, the investment cost is low, and the rate of return is blood-earning, who would not want to try it.

At this time, it reflects the benefits of Cao Xuan's perennial maintenance of "Scumbag Design".

Although Cao Xuan has the largest flow of fame, with 600+ scandal objects, the competition around Cao Xuan is too fierce.

Moreover, many gossip targets are big celebrities, and there are also various intimate rumors. It is not simply a matter of taking two photos secretly to make big news.

Unless Cao Xuan was stripped naked to take a bed photo, it would be difficult to get out from so many people.

Therefore, although Cao Xuan is the most famous, respected, and very rich, but because of the difficulty of hell level, many people are discouraged, which invisibly saves him a lot of trouble.

But it doesn't mean that Cao Xuan is completely at ease, with reliable information, all high-ranking people are rushing to him.

The most difficult and the most rewarding.

Women with confidence and wrist like this kind of challenging, Dongxi Nigong pulls up the special battle alert...

.........

In February, Cao Xuan went to Xiangjiang to continue filming "New World". Originally, he planned to finish filming in one go, but he couldn't help it. He had something to do on the way, so he asked for leave to go to England.

The most authoritative and influential music award in the UK, known as the British Grammy [Brit Awards], has nominated Cao Xuan's album "Release" for multiple awards this year.

There is one thing to say, Cao Xuan's "Release" was launched in 2003, in fact, logically, it should have been awarded last year.

But for some unknown reason, Cao Xuan was not nominated for the Brit Awards last year. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was the Brits who didn't give the award.

As a result, Cao Xuan was nominated suddenly at the beginning of this year, and Cao Tianwang gradually realized it.

Last year, [-]% of the reasons were due to the collision between the awards season and the Grammys. Knowing that Cao Xuan was destined to go to the Grammys, he didn't bring himself to be humiliated.

Last year, Cao Xuan didn't release an English album, and he didn't have any Grammy nominations, so the Brit Awards came to cut him off.

Although it is a bit ugly to postpone the awards for one year, there is no way, who makes them inferior to the Grammys, and the Grammys season is approaching, so they will inevitably be suppressed.

In fact, there have been more than one Brit Awards in a similar situation. There have been examples of delaying the awards before, and they even went so far as to "make awards" to invite the biggest names in the United States to support the stage.

And this time, Cao Xuan also received this kind of "superstar treatment".

Not only is he famous, but it is also true that the album "Release" has achieved very good results in the UK.

At its peak, the song "Sugar" even dominated the UK charts for several weeks, and it has been on the charts for a long time. In 2003, the song "Sugar" ranked fourth in the UK's top ten most popular songs.

The song "Free Loop" is even more because it is BMW's commercial song. With the spread of BMW, it became popular all over the world, especially in Europe.

In Europe, the situation of "Free Loop" is a bit similar to that of the Phoenix Legend song in China. Maybe I don't know the name of the song, I don't know who sang it, and even because of the language barrier, I don't know what it is singing.

But you must have heard the melody of this song from the streets, cell phone ringtones, radio, TV, etc. It can be called a viral spread, engraved in the DNA of Europeans.

The cooperation of the two hit songs made Cao Xuan famous in Europe, especially in the UK.

In the summer vacation of 2004, the British "Sun" launched a poll. Among the ten foreign singers known to the British people, Cao Xuan ranked ninth, and he was also the only Asian singer.

It is no exaggeration to say that the two Chinese names most familiar to British people today may be [Jack Cheng] and [Chris Cao].

Especially among the 16- to 22-year-old British youth group, Cao Xuan's reputation is likely to surpass Cheng Long's.

Cao Xuan still attaches great importance to the European market, and this Brit Award can be regarded as one of the most authoritative music awards abroad.

Especially for European English singers, many people even rank it only below the Grammy, which is an important achievement to measure the status of a singer.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Xuan rejected the Grammy's performance + award invitation and went to the UK to receive the award.

In late February, Cao Xuan came to London to participate in this year's Brit Awards, and then clearly felt the gap between this award and the Grammys.

Let's put it this way, there are at least 2 to 5 world-renowned superstars at the Grammys every year, at least double-digit first-line singers or bands with certain international influence, many strong newcomers, and even record records of tens of millions of albums .

In comparison, the Brit Awards are a bit shabby. They are mainly composed of British singers, and there are very few singers with international influence.

This is also normal. The United States is the center of the international entertainment circle, gathering more than 90% of the world's superstars, and it is a luxurious lineup.

And Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets 100 years ago. The United States was the son of Daiying back then, and now everyone knows who the father is.

All the artists who can make their debut in the UK are desperate to go to the US.

In Europe, most of the actors and singers are robbed of the limelight by football stars. Stars like Beckham and Ronaldo are the top players in the European entertainment pages.

This can also be seen from the cultural and entertainment web articles. There are people writing about China Entertainment, Hong Kong Entertainment, Meiyu, and Korean Entertainment, and even the less popular Japanese Entertainment.

But no one has ever written about European entertainment. The reason is that it is too cold, so cold that you can't find any place to search for information, and the languages ​​​​of European countries are not unified, so writing is extremely difficult.

Perhaps one day a warrior will stand up and bravely pursue his dream, but the chances of being successful are too low.

Just like the heroines of China Entertainment, Han Hong, Jia Ling and Sister Feng have always been popular on the list, but if someone really writes it, the popularity will definitely be high, but the results...

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is not new for the Brit Awards to be beaten by Grammys.

It has been able to maintain its status, and it is more due to the European market. In any case, it is indeed the most authoritative award in the English department in Europe. It cannot compare with the Grammy, but it is still very good in other aspects.

Although Cao Tianwang has gained a lot of limelight in the Grammys, he is not a heavyweight in terms of celebrity status. It is rare to experience the treatment of a big star in the finale in the UK this time.

Cao Xuan has become a big boss in China and Asia, but this is the first time he has been in Europe and the United States, and it feels very cool.

What was even more exciting was the Chinese journalists who came after hearing the news.

In the past two years, as Cao Xuan has achieved a lot overseas, the media has paid more and more attention to it. From the previous reprints and text live broadcasts, he has now begun to send a dedicated team to follow the reports and shoot across the ocean.

This is still very new for foreign music awards, because before, the Chinese media basically only cared about the Oscars and the three European awards.

Even the Oscars don't necessarily pay attention to it, mainly because of the three major European productions. The reason is that Chinese crews win more awards here.

Music awards like the Grammys and Brit Awards were not paid much attention to in China before, but Cao Xuan continued to win awards, and the domestic public's attention to similar awards soared, and the media naturally stepped up their efforts.

Last year's Brit Awards, there were only a few translated reports in China, and they were all posted online.

Knowing that Cao Xuan was nominated and went to receive the award this year, CCTV, together with several portals, large media, and other small and medium-sized media hired and authorized overseas students, scattered over 20 professional/Chinese journalists who had obtained interview rights.

In addition, some Asian media agencies in the UK also came to join in the fun.

Seeing so many Asians at the scene caused many British reporters to look sideways.

I haven't seen such a big battle among Asians in the final of the Champions League!

But how do they know that Asia, where the overall entertainment culture is suppressed, attaches such affection and importance to a "hero" who can break through the blockade and win consecutive battles in the European and American world.

When Cao Xuan appeared outside the red carpet of the BRIT Awards in a black slim suit, many British fans who came here to hear the news warmly supported him.

"Cao, come on."

"Ah, it's Chris, Honey, I love you."

"Come on, that's my phone number."

"Incredible musical talent, you are the best."

"Cao! Cao! Cao!!!"

"..."

The Chinese reporters wanted to shoot the camera on the faces of those fans, and then send it back to China, so that everyone can appreciate it. These foreigners are crazy about Cao Xuan.

Once down the red carpet, Cao Xuan didn't feel particularly deep.

The Chinese journalists and even Asian journalists who watched were full of pride and a sense of accomplishment.

The only thing that made the Chinese reporters feel a little bit regretful was that these people yelled Cao Xuan's surname, which sounded like a curse...

After entering the venue, Cao Xuan, as an important guest of this year's Brit Awards, was quickly followed by many people.

Some people admire Cao Tianwang's musical talent and want to discuss and study it.

Some people value Cao Xuan's status and connections in the American music scene, especially if they heard that Cao Xuan has a stake in Warner Music Group, they came here to make friends and see if there is any hope of making a breakthrough in the American music scene.

Some people were simply bewitched by Cao Xuan's fame and beauty, and wanted to strike up a conversation, intending to "communicate" with the Asian king.

It is worth mentioning that there are both men and women who come to strike up a conversation, and even most of them are men.

While Cao Daguan was a little panicked, he couldn't help feeling that Taiying is indeed a world-renowned gay country!
The process of the Brit Awards is smoother than that of the Grammys, mainly because there are fewer performances and the actual awards are the main thing.

Cao Xuan didn't know much about these British singers, and Robbie Williams was the most familiar among the performers.

This guy is nicknamed [Bad Boy], he is well-known in the UK, and he is considered a top-tier international player.

However, what impressed Cao Xuan most about him was the opening ceremony of the 2018 Russia World Cup. This guy was a guest performer.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that this girl is said to be very fun, but she can be a man or a woman, with a variety of tricks, even in the corrupt European and American entertainment circles, she can be regarded as a relatively wild one.

At today's awards ceremony, Robbie Williams also won an award [British Award for Best Golden Song in 25 Years].

This award contains a lot of gold. Let's put it this way, the most famous song "We Are the Champions" by the Queen band was included in the shortlist together. As a result, Robbie Williams had the last laugh.

However, Cao Xuan could see that many people were dissatisfied with his award, thinking that he was able to win the award because he was the only one present among the nominees.

This well-known [bad boy] in the British music scene is very popular, let alone controversial, even if he is not controversial, it will become controversial if he wins an award.

However, this has nothing to do with Cao Xuan. He nominated for 4 awards this time, and finally won [-] awards.

【Best International Male Artist】

【Best International Record of the Year】

The Brit Awards are very similar to those in the Mainland. There are two special categories, one for the UK and the other for the International.

For example, the Best Male Artist Award, which is equivalent to the Best Male Singer, includes [Best British Male Artist] and [Best International Male Artist].

With many music awards in the Mainland, the two categories of Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan are specially divided into two categories, which are similar in purpose.

The purpose is similar, to ensure that British local artists get some awards, and at the same time use international awards to attract international celebrities and increase overseas influence.

These two awards that Cao Xuan won are considered the most authoritative awards among international artists, and they are also considered to be full of rewards.

It's a pity that Cao Xuan didn't get the most valuable "Best Single" in the entire awards ceremony.

There is no distinction between UK and international awards, and it is the biggest event of the year. Cao Xuan's "Sugar" was nominated, but lost out to others.

Even so, Cao Xuan still created a new history of Asian singers and Brit Awards this time.

Cao Xuan himself and even many Asian media are numb. After all, Cao Xuan has made too many similar pioneering achievements, and they are tired of talking about it.

But what should be boasted is still to be boasted, Sohu website is even more ingenious, and specially filmed a section of interviews with British fans & passers-by, asking them about their love and understanding of Cao Xuan.

This video was sent back to China, allowing many people to see Cao Xuan's influence in the UK, and also excited Cao Xuan's fans and passers-by.

They just like those foreigners playing Cao Xuan, and listening to these foreigners' rainbow farts makes them happier than horses and chickens.

But when it comes to Cao Xuan winning the Brit Awards, the biggest shocker is Britain.

Cao Xuan has won a Grammy, and he is relatively calm in China and Asia, but in the eyes of most people in the UK, it is the first time for a Chinese to win such an important award.

There were constant voices of doubt, and there were also many people who recognized and supported it. Invisibly, Cao Xuan made another face in the UK.

Seeing the enthusiasm, the BBC wanted to invite Cao Xuan to participate in several TV shows, but unfortunately Cao Xuan was not available at all.

After the awards ceremony, he only found time to watch a game in London.

In the English League Cup final of the 2004-2005 season, Liverpool played against Chelsea. The two sides drew 1:1 in regular time, and the final penalty shootout.

However, the difference from the result in 2022 is that Chelsea won this time, and the head coach Kay... No, Mourinho raised his arms and shouted.

After watching the game, Cao Xuan even declined Ronaldo's invitation, and instead of going to Manchester to watch the game, he flew directly back to Xiangjiang.

But the two also made an appointment. If there is time, Cao Xuan will come to watch Manchester United's home game of the Champions League.

But there is one thing to say, Cao Xuan actually wants to watch the Champions League final more. This season's Istanbul night is a classic match. Although he doesn't like Liverpool, if he has the opportunity, he still wants to watch it live.

I just hope that this game will not change because of his butterfly effect, otherwise Inter Milan fans will really have a lot less fun...

.........

Back in Xiangjiang, Cao Xuan was surrounded by paparazzi as soon as he arrived at the airport, asking him what he thought about winning the prize.

How should I put it, Xiangjiang has been colonized by the British for so many years, and has some special halo filters for Taiying.

"Of course I am happy to win the award. This also shows that the professional judges and fans in the UK have recognized me. I will present better works to give back to everyone in the future."

And when the Hong Kong paparazzi asked which of the new generation Hong Kong singers had the hope of winning the BRIT Award again, Cao Xuan said sincerely.

"The BRIT Awards are for English songs, in fact, many singers can try to produce an all-English album.

Many Xiangjiang singers are too inclined to Japanese and Korean styles, but such styles may not be liked by other countries.

I think our music creation should not blindly imitate Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, but deconstruct music styles from a new international perspective. This is also a new way for Chinese singers to go global. "

Cao Xuan's words are still somewhat sincere. Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are too deeply influenced by Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, and their originality is not even as good as mainland singers.

Maybe their performance is very good in the Chinese music scene, but they can't show it abroad at all. After all, the "pirated version" is naturally inferior to the original version.

If Chinese singers want to go abroad, they still need their own things. Don't blindly imitate, but deconstruct styles according to popular trends, and then add their own things.

For example, Xiao Zhou, whose very personal style of melody and musicality is still very popular among foreign musicians.

It's a pity that he can't speak English well, and he doesn't have much ambition to go international, otherwise he might not be able to make a name for himself.

Cao Xuan is a stalker, and he is not qualified to give pointers to Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

But if there are really Chinese singers who want to go abroad, what he said above is indeed a relatively practical idea.

After arguing with these Xiangjiang paparazzi for a while, Cao Xuan led his assistants and bodyguards to drive away, but the arrogant Xiangjiang paparazzi did not dare to stop them.

In terms of well-informed, these paparazzi dare not say that Xiangjiang is number one, but they are not far behind.

What happened to the crew of "New World" before, they had already received the wind, they dared to stop other stars, and they even dared to openly challenge and provoke mainland artists.

But for Cao Xuan, who eats black and white, these paparazzi really don't have the guts, and even write articles and reports very politely.

I am afraid that one day I will go home halfway and be kidnapped by a van, chatting with young and Dangerous brothers...

"New World" crew, the return of Cao Xuan won everyone's welcome, Cao Xuan is not hypocritical, simply take a break, and quickly put into filming.

The filming of the previous episodes has almost been completed, leaving only the last few episodes of Cao Xuan's connection with the mainland.

In the original plot arrangement, Cao Xuan took care of the villain and became the eldest brother, and then contacted the mainland, becoming the official black glove, presiding over the overall situation and maintaining underground order.

Later, on the one hand, it was due to the review, and on the other hand, Cao Xuan and Lao Du felt that such a shoot would reduce the excitement, which disrupted the rhythm of the plot to a certain extent.

So after discussion, they felt that they could modify it and delete the connection with the Mainland directly.

The protagonist kills the villain, succeeds in assuming the position, defeats the conspiracy, and then hides his merits and fame, and does not report to the mainland, and the story ends abruptly.

In the follow-up, whether the protagonist runs away, or becomes an official black glove, or goes ashore with whitewashing, or is suppressed and ends miserably, Barabara, these plots are not filmed, forming a semi-open ending for the audience to think about.

After the movie started from the protagonist, seeing the success of the return, it also ushered in a new world, and the movie plot ended.

This kind of plot ends more simply and neatly, and the depth is slightly higher, and you don't have to worry about the review, Cao Xuan is a little tempted.

In the end, he simply shot two versions just like "New Police Story", and finally looked at the finished product before deciding which version to use.

On February 2th, "New World" was officially wrapped in Xiangjiang. On the same day, it was announced that it will be scheduled for this year's summer vacation, adding another spoonful of hot oil to the still lively summer vacation.
