China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 44 The entertainment industry in early 1998
The entertainment industry in early 1998 was not peaceful.

"Water Margin" swept the TV drama circle. After its premiere on CCTV, it landed in major provinces and stations one after another, and Liangshan heroes really entered thousands of households.

The same is true for Cao Xuan, a senior official in Ximen. Now he has to wear a mask and sunglasses for cover when he goes out.

At the same time, Cao Xuan sang the theme song "Following Love to the End". After two rounds of good results, it was also able to enter the CCTV set for replay.

Xu Cainu and Li Yapeng's popularity has soared, and they have become representatives of mainland Huadan and Xiaosheng.

The national-level TV series "Huanzhugege", which is about to enter the history of Chinese TV, will be premiered in Taiwan soon.

However, at this time, neither Qiong Yao himself nor the audience in Taiwan Province paid much attention to this drama, but paid more attention to "There Are Tears in the Sky" starring Jiang Qinqin and Jiao Enjun.

In terms of movies, the success of the first Chinese New Year movie "Party A and Party B" in the Mainland, Feng Xiaogang, who has been a younger brother after Wang Shuo for many years, finally raised his eyebrows.

Huayi Brothers, who was about to enter the film and television industry from the advertising industry, took a fancy to Feng Xiaogang's potential and planned to invest in him to make another New Year's comedy "See You or Not".

In addition, the generous Huayi Brothers also contacted two other great directors - Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen.

They invested in their new works "Jing Ke Assassinate the King of Qin" and "The Devil is Coming".

The Wang family brothers who have just entered the army are still relatively solid, especially expressing that they do not understand how to make movies and listen to the director.

As everyone knows, just this sentence fell into two big pits......

The mainland film circle "Party A and Party B" swept the Quartet, and the Xiangjiang film circle was Cheng Long's "Who Am I" and Xing Ye's "One Dragon".

And put your sight abroad, it is the world of "Titanic".

The classic film has taken the world by storm since its release last year and is now approaching $10 billion at the box office.

The hero and heroine of the movie, Xiao Lizi and Kate, became popular in one fell swoop and became Hollywood's hottest stars.

Director Cameron is the world's top director, the limelight once overshadowed Spielberg and Lucas who filmed "Star Wars".

According to gossip, China is now negotiating with the "Titanic" film side.

Before long, the big ship may be sailing to mainland China......

Let's talk about the music scene, "Song of a Hero" and "Meet [-]" alternately dominate the charts, pressing all the old songs and new songs firmly on them.

Cao Xuan's famous work "1 Reasons" is now on the verge of being squeezed out of the top 10.

It has been almost half a year since "1 Reasons" was released, and it has been in the top 10 of major music charts for such a long time. It can be said to be a hit.

If it weren't for the god-stopping "Heart Too Soft" in front of it, "1 Reasons" may even be expected to surpass the most popular pop song in 1997.

And Cao Xuan's other song "Light Chaser", which had previously dropped out of the top 30, but with the hot replay of "Following Love to the End", it became popular again.

Nowadays, most of them are swaying in the 10-20 position, occasionally bursting seeds, and they can reach the top 10.

"Myriad Brothers" and "Light Chaser" achieved similar results, depending on the popularity of "Water Margin", the rankings fluctuated.

Cao Xuan now hopes that these songs can stay on the list for a while longer. It is best to wait until his new album is released, and he can still gain popularity.

.........

Cao Xuan has been paying attention to the changing circumstances of the outside world, but the most important thing for him right now is to record a new album.

Along with the production, recording, and shooting of the MV, Cao Xuan has already smashed all his net worth, and even borrowed some from his friends.

Even Hu Jing and Zeng Li's remuneration have only made a deposit now, and the balance has not been paid for the time being.

It can be said that the success or failure of the new album is directly related to Cao Xuan's development in the next two years.

Success, everyone is happy.

Failed and indebted.

Cao Xuan even made the worst plan, considering that if it really doesn't work, he will go to Xiangjiang to find the salty and wet guy surnamed Zuo to make a restricted movie.

After saving the first pot of gold, he came back to fight behind the scenes, specializing in film and television production and star brokerage.

If you can't be a movie king or a king, then you will become the godfather of a generation of entertainment circles!

After the chicken blood was over, Cao Xuan went to record songs honestly.

After all, there is no conflict between the godfather of the entertainment industry and the king of movie stars. Only children make choices, and adults only want them all.

While recording songs, Cao Xuan watched Chen Hanzhu finish the later stages of the two MVs according to his requirements.

Compared with the original "Fairy Tale" MV, Cao Xuan personally thinks that this version is of better quality.

Other than that, the original Guangliang is a pure singer, and he sings speechlessly, but his acting skills can almost be evaluated with the words "can't bear to look directly".

In addition to the emotional substitution when singing, it is also more vivid, and other performance bridges are full of facial paralysis.

The MV can be rated so high, 90% of the credit lies in the plot and the song itself.

Cao Xuan dare not say how good his acting skills are, but after all, he is also a professional actor who has been tempered by CCTV dramas, and even the professor of Chinese opera admits his talent.

His performance in the MV is undoubtedly stronger than Guangliang.

And Hu Jing's appearance is also higher than the original heroine, sweet and lovely, charming and seductive, even Cao Xuan himself finds the intimate interaction between the hero and heroine in the MV sweet.

And "Dusk" is an original MV, which cannot be compared with the original version, but Cao Xuan's evaluation of it is still very high.

If the focus of the "Fairy Tale" MV is the emotional interaction between the male and female protagonists, then "Dusk" is almost a dynamic photo of Cao Xuan and Zeng Li.

Most of the scenes in the MV show the beauty and charm of Cao Xuan and Zeng Li, with various medium shots, long shots, and close-ups going up.

One is handsome and threatening, the other is murderous.

Cao Xuan had just finished eating his and Hu Jing's candy, and now he feels that Zeng Li is a good match for him.

Ho... ho!

.........

On March 3, a certain blue pill was officially launched on the market.

In the near future, this little blue pill will spread all over the world, benefiting countless men and women and improving their quality of life.

At the same time, it has also brought some embarrassing troubles to countless Chinese people with the word "wei" in their names.

And on the same day, Cao Xuan officially named his first album "The Stars".

Hope this album can take his career to take off and shine.

After more than a month of recording, most of the songs of the new album "Starry Night" have been recorded, and the finished product can be produced and recorded in half a month at most.

Now, Cao Xuan has notified Warner that the preparations for the production and sale have begun, and the promotion and warm-up have also started accordingly.

In order to make the album famous as soon as possible and increase album sales, Cao Xuan thought about it again and again, and came up with two title songs to hit the charts.

"Angel Wings"

"dusk"

The times are different, and Cao Xuan can't guarantee that these two popular Divine Comedies can still create brilliance. The bottom line he set for these two songs is-

At least one of the two songs entered the top 10 of the major charts.

As long as this qualifying line can be reached, even if Cao Xuan's new album does not make any money, he is expected to return to his original budget.

Not to mention, Cao Xuan still has two hit songs and one Wang Bang in his hands. He doesn't believe that he is as unlucky as Mr. Lu, and a good card makes people seconds.

If all five songs are really planted.

Cao Xuan felt that he didn't need to delay these Divine Comedies. He said goodbye to the music world as soon as possible and went to Hong Kong to shoot restricted movies...
