China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 503 "Ten Years in the World" is also Cao Xuan's Ten Years in the World
In the eyes of many people in the original time and space, the Chinese music scene in 2007 was the last glow of the golden age.

But regardless of the eyes of God, at the moment it is actually a scene of vitality and all things competing to develop.

Especially now that there is Cao Xuan in the music world.

In recent years, the Chinese Chinese music scene has long been said to have a golden age, but when exactly this golden age began has always been controversial.

Some people think that since it is the golden age, it is natural to include everything, including the Four Heavenly Kings, Tan Zhang Zhenghe, and the gang of big names in Taiwan.

Some people think that such a calculation is too nonsense, and to go further, just count Zhou Xuan, Yao Li, and Li Xianglan of the Republic of China.

Some people think that it should be divided by region. In recent years, the mainland market is the main market, so the golden age must follow the route of the rise of the popular market in the mainland.

In 1994, mainland pop music began to rise, and the golden age of Chinese music should start here.

But many people disagree with this statement.

1994 was the rise of the mainland pop music scene, but not the rise of the market. In the early years, the tapes of Teresa Teng and the Four Kings were still selling everywhere.

During this period, the mainland market seemed to be prosperous, but there were many pirated copies. On the contrary, the record markets in Taiwan and Hong Kong were relatively more mature.

At the same time, mainland singers in this period were basically suppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan. Only a few of them were famous, but they could not be sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Therefore, many people have come to the conclusion that if calculated according to the market and influence, it should be the beginning of the golden age after Cao Xuan made his debut in 1997 and counterattacked Hong Kong and Taiwan with his own strength.

However, this argument has not convinced everyone.

Some people insist that the golden age of the Chinese music scene should not only refer to the market and influence, but the quality of the works is the top priority.

Cao Xuan was born in 1997, and the music scene was suppressed for several years. During this period, there were many good songs and works, but it was far from the point where a hundred flowers bloomed.

However, after the new century, a large number of singer-songwriters have emerged one after another, such as Jay Chou, Tao Zhe, Mou Wang, Lin Junjie, Mayday's Ashin, and in the mainland, there are also Pu Shu, Xu Wei, Wang Toutiao, Shuimunianhua, Daolang and so on.

Countless original high-quality goods have appeared, and there are many excellent works in the Chinese music scene. This kind of rich and colorful Chinese music scene should be called the golden age.

After several times of struggle, it is difficult for everyone to reach a consensus, but no matter what, Cao Xuan must be the core of the core of this era.

Some radical fans and music critics even shouted that as long as Cao Xuan is still in the music scene, the golden age of the Chinese music scene will not end.

This statement must have been exaggerated, even if Cao Xuan likes to pretend to be coercive, he never dared to admit this statement.

After all, no matter how good a singer is, it is impossible to support the golden age of the entire Chinese music scene, at most it is half of the country.

Cao Banbi: (╰╯)
Nowadays, the golden age of the Chinese music scene is still flourishing in everyone's eyes.

Cao Tianwang Dugu seeks defeat and sits firmly on the leader.

Xiao Zhou's strength is outstanding, as long as the new album does not meet Cao Xuan, it will basically dominate the charts, and he is the most powerful singer under Cao Xuan.

A certain king is making steady progress. Although his albums in the past two years have not been particularly strong, they still retain their position as the top three most popular male singers in the music scene.

Several other popular male singers have achieved their own achievements. Among them, Lin Junjie has been the most outstanding in the past two years. Last year's "Cao Cao" and "After 1000" were all annual hits, and they also landed in the 2006 Spring Festival Gala. batch.

Not to mention female singers, the queens of Taiwan's four majors and three juniors were crazily introverted for a few days, and the battle for the queen of Taiwan's golden songs was even more intense than male singers.

Feier Orchestra, Mayday, S·H·E, Fahrenheit and other music groups also have their own development, and their individual momentum is not inferior to the group of popular singers.

The false half of the Chinese music scene——Cao Xuan (x)

The real half of the Chinese music world——Taiwan music scene (√)
Even in terms of market and influence alone, the Taiwanese music scene can't be counted as only half of the current Chinese music scene, and it is not too much to say that it has won [-]% of the country.

For the remaining [-]%, except for Cao Xuan, if anyone wants to eat it, it depends on their face...

Of course, this statement was applicable three years ago, but the situation today is somewhat different.

In 2004, a number of music talent shows such as "Rising Star", "Super Girl" and "My Style My Show" were launched in the mainland, and a large number of talented singers were trained.

The most important thing is that many singers here are signed under Fanxing.

The "Master of Taiwan" is tall and tough, but he can't stand the domineering "Cao Mazi" in the mainland......

Beginning in 1998, Cao Xuan fought with Hong Kong and Taiwan singers for ten years. From the very beginning, they were forced to tie with each other, and then slowly to a tie, then to outnumbered, and finally completely suppressed.

Xiao Zhou led the so-called new four great heavenly kings and the four big and three little queens of Taiwan Province, tossing and tossing for five or six years, but was still firmly held down by Cao Xuan.

That's right, Taiwan Province occupies half of the Chinese music scene, but the best singers in the Chinese music scene are still mainlanders.

With Cao Xuan poking here, the significance is not only that he himself became famous, but also broke many people's inherent thinking about the big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The kings and queens of the Chinese music scene are not only Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

It is not only Hong Kong and Taiwan actors who carry the box office of commercial films.

Cao Xuan is like a big banner of the mainland music scene, carrying the impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers with his own strength, and retaining the living soil of mainland singers.

At the same time, with the publicity exposure on variety show platforms such as "Tomorrow's Star" and the Internet, as well as the support of Fanxing's key resources, a new batch of mainland singers such as Gu Miaomiao and Zhang Jie began to rise one after another.

The music circles call these people "Galaxies" singers, and more broadly, "Galaxy of Tomorrow" and "Draft Stars" singers.

Among them, Gu Miaomiao, Dao Lang, and Legend of Phoenix have become the representative singers of the mainland.

The former is a small queen in the mainland, and the latter two are big players in the Internet and CRBT.

In addition, Yang Chengang, Tang Chao, and Gao Jin who were born in "Tomorrow's Star" are also the backbone of the Internet and CRBT industry.

Ping An, Xue Zhiqian, Zhang Jie, Chen Chusheng, Ma Tianyu and others have become well-known male singers of the new generation in the industry, and individual singers have begun to grab fans from Taiwanese male singers.

Female singers such as Yao Beina, Qi Wei, Li Yuchun, Ding Dong, Jinsha, Zhang Liangying, Tan Weiwei and others have also begun to no longer let Hong Kong and Taiwan female singers focus on beauty.

As a big man in the music scene, Cao Xuan’s contribution to the Chinese music scene is actually not much. What is more worth mentioning is that he catalyzed and supported the growth of [Fan Xing Galaxy] and a new generation of singers in the Mainland.

Perhaps in 2007, this group of singers had just started, and there was still some distance from Xiao Zhou and the others.

But gathering together has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Chinese music scene.

Perhaps in another two years, leaving aside a few top or representative singers such as Xiao Zhou, the entire Chinese music scene will be reshuffled
At that time, it will be the day when Hong Kong and Taiwan singers will see the face of "Master Cao"...

But now, Cao Xuan still has to be "Cao Mazi" for two years, waiting for this group of singers to grow and rise.

Although he is "Cao Mazi", in fact, few Taiwanese singers can stand up to him head-on.

Last time, Xiao Zhou was the only singer who dared to challenge Cao Xuan in the past two years. After the fiasco, people became more afraid of Cao Xuan.

Especially in last year's "Legend" global conferment, everyone was completely different in level and size, and no one was willing to confront Cao Xuan head-on.

Cao Xuan released an album in July, and Xiao Zhou's album originally scheduled for early November was moved to the end of December.

A certain Wang was originally scheduled to release an album in July, and it has already released songs on the charts. Seeing that Cao Xuan also released it, he immediately made a "technical error" and the album's release date was delayed. No specific time has been given so far.

In addition, according to incomplete statistics, well-known singers who were scared off by Cao Xuan and delayed the release of albums also include Joey Yung, Mayday, Zhang Huimei, Feier Orchestra, Fahrenheit, Cai Yilin, etc.

A music reporter called this collective release of pigeons in the music world "Talking about Cao's discoloration". I don't know if he is laughing at everyone's timidity or insinuating Cao Xuan's overbearing.

But one thing to say, Cao Xuan definitely did not use any unfair means of competition, it was a normal album release process, and even cut a lot of publicity, and he himself didn't show up much.

Cao Xuan has no choice but to surrender without fighting.

If there is a chance, he would like to touch Xiao Zhou again, no matter what, at least he can hear the excitement.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhou or the team behind him didn't have this idea.

In the last battle, Xiao Zhou was hit hard enough, now Cao Xuan took advantage of "Legend" to make it clear who wins and who dies.

Even if they still have the idea of ​​letting Xiao Zhou counterattack the superior, it is impossible to challenge Cao Xuan at this point in time, which is no different from giving away the head.

Therefore, since Cao Xuan's debut, the hostile environment of this "Human World" is the most relaxed, and almost no first-line singers released the album at the same time.

The closest singer is "Chinese Dialect" by Snake Group, which released a special album in May. Several other well-known singers have released singles that hit the charts at most, and all albums have been postponed.

Even many well-known musicians and senior fans couldn't help but poke fun at their blogs.

Cao Xuan's first Chinese album that year had a peak battle with Ren Xianqi [South Ren Bei Cao].

The second album is Lian Zhan Naying and Zhang Huimei Shuangtian, and the hardcore national hit drama "My Fair Princess 2".

The third album was besieged and suppressed by half of the music scene, and he suppressed them all.

The [-]th and [-]th albums are stepping on the "heavy bones" of the albums of well-known singers in the Chinese music scene.

In the sixth album, Xiao Zhou was repeatedly rubbed on the ground, which made the new king who was invincible in the music world almost "collapse".

The reputation of the Great Demon King is not earned, but he was killed alive from the mountain of blood and the sea of ​​blood...

As a result, times have changed, and after the release of Cao Xuan's new album "Human World", all the major singers disappeared, and the singer who competed with him became——

"QQ Love": Wang Lin
The Old Man and the Sea: Hemingway

"There is a kind of love called letting go": Amu
"Wait 1 Minute": Xu Yuteng

"Damn Tenderness": Ma Tianyu

It's not that these songs and singers are not good, or even that these songs can become Cao Xuan's "enemies", they are not easy people.

"QQ Love" was released in April this year and became popular on the Internet, becoming the best promotional song for Penguin QQ.

Considering the popularity and influence of the song alone, it even surpassed the "Grey Head" written by Cao Xuan for QQ.

"The Old Man and the Sea" was a huge hit, one of the hottest songs in the first half of 2007, and it could be among the top ten songs of the year in the original time and space.

"There is a kind of love called letting go", Internet and CRBT Divine Comedy, the current new song ranks first, the streets and alleys are almost rotten, and it can also be among the top ten in 2007 in the original time and space.

"Wait 1 Minute" and "Damn Tenderness" are also very popular, and the CRBT network has blossomed.

The latter was sung by Ma Tianyu, a contracted singer of Fanxing. He originally wanted to release a single, but he didn't expect it to become popular immediately.

But then again, these songs are very popular, but most of them are not popular, and cannot form a large-scale singer brand effect.

Ma Tianyu, who made his debut as one of the top ten "Rising Stars" in the country, is still somewhat popular, but pointing at him to challenge Cao Xuan is no different from a mole shaking a tree.

To put it bluntly, a gang of mobs don't need Cao Xuan's fans to make the rankings collectively, they can all be suppressed by passers-by.

In the past when Cao Xuan released albums, apart from the release of new songs, what everyone was most excited about was watching him blast all the kings and queens.

As a result, this time "Human World" is released, whether it is a fan or a passer-by.

Seeing the album songs easily climbed to the top of the major music charts, it was as smooth as an old virgin meeting a long-term female Bodhisattva, so that everyone was a little at a loss.

I'm full of passion... blood, is this the end of the matter?

Even Cao Xuan himself and Fanxing Warner's staff felt that it was boring, you should struggle at least, we really have no sense of existence in winning.

However, because there is no melon to eat, more people focus on the album "Human World" itself.

Ignore the off-site interference and look at this album more purely.

The album "Human World" has a total of 12 songs, two of which are Cao Xuan's Spring Festival Gala songs "There Are So Many People in This World" and "Where Does the Time Go?"

The reason why these two songs are included is also because the overall concept is more in tune with the album "Human World", both of which are in the style of walking through the fireworks of the world and reminiscing about life.

On the contrary, the very popular "Appreciation for Elegance and Popularity" was only released as a single and was not included in the album.

In addition to the two songs that have been released in the Spring Festival Gala, the remaining 10 songs are 5 ordinary and 5 high-quality.

Ordinary ones aside, the high-quality ones are the aforementioned "Passing Through the World", "Old Boy" and "Blooming Flowers All the Way".

As for the remaining two songs, one is the folk song "Spring Breeze Ten Miles".

This song is the work of the Lu Xiansen band in 2015. It was not very popular at first, but was later covered by major singers, and it became the hit of the year.

Cao Xuan personally likes folk songs very much, even better than rock and roll. However, in his opinion, many folk songs are too literary and hypocritical. They are very good when you listen to them roughly, but they are a bit "greasy" when you listen carefully.

"Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" dare not be without this problem. After all, most of the ballads are a bit "groaning without illness" in the eyes of many people.

However, the so-called "hypocrisy" of this song feels very light, and it can even be said to be negligible. The lyrics are relatively fresh, the melody is smooth, and it sounds like a quiet feeling unique to folk songs. It is a touch to make you feel.

There are not many folk songs in Cao Xuan's previous works. This time, I chose this one specifically. Firstly, it has rich themes, and secondly, I really like it.

Another song is also the real title song of the song "The World" - "Ten Years of the World", the full name is "Tomb Raiders Notes Ten Years of the World"

In fact, at the very beginning, for the album "Human World", Cao Xuan planned to put the word "Human World" on all the title songs.

In addition to "Passing Through the World" and "Ten Years of the World", there are also the Chinese version of "What Are Words" "In the World", Cheng Xiang's "Fireworks in the World", and the original version of "Blooming Flowers All the Way" "Let the World Live".

Later, I considered that the quality and popularity of "Fireworks in the World" were weaker. It was no problem to be an ordinary song, but it was not good for a high-quality song.

"Living Up to the World" and "Blooming Flowers All the Way" don't talk about plagiarism and who is superior in quality. The key point is that "Living Up to the World" is the theme song of the puppet show. Many of the lyrics in it are not suitable for Cao Xuan, so he chose "Flowers Along the Way".

As for "In the World", this song is good, but it is so sad that it was blocked by rumors.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the way of this song is really not suitable for Cao Xuan. With Cao Xuan's current status and identity, he really can't sing whatever song he wants.

There is no problem with love songs, inspirational songs are the best, and songs with other themes should best conform to mainstream values ​​and positive energy.

It's not that he can't sing songs like "In the World", but they are too negative, and the lyrics in them are a little sensitive, and they are easy to be taken out to make fuss. If they are tempted, it is hard to explain.

Cao Xuan wasn't afraid of trouble, but he wasn't too idle to find trouble himself. He didn't have to pick up this song, and the English version was out, so it wasn't a waste of the melody.

I gave up a few "human world" songs and still named it "human world" because many songs on the album are reminiscences of the fireworks in the human world and the years of life.

At the same time, it is also in line with the first title song of the album "Ten Years of the World".

The song "Ten Years of the World" was almost the title of the album at first, but Cao Xuan later changed it to "Human World" because he felt that it was too stealing the limelight from other songs.

Among all the songs of Cao Xuan, the song "Your Answer" occupies a very important position, because this song is Cao Xuan's autobiographical song with the MV.

And this "Ten Years in the World" is also Cao Xuan's autobiographical song.

"Your Answer" tells the story of Cao Xuan from a poor boy from a farm family to perform in a group, facing the wind, embracing the rainbow, and finally becoming famous.

"Ten Years in the World" is about Cao Xuan's ups and downs in the past ten years, bittersweet and sour.

In October 1997, Cao Xuan released the single "10 Reasons" and officially debuted in the music scene. As of the summer vacation of 1 this year, it has been almost exactly ten years.

The original "Ten Years" sang about love, but now this "Ten Years in the World" is about fireworks.

"Light, who burns a candle

hidden by time

Light, replacing light and dark positions, flows wantonly
see who's standing

......"

I don't know which TV has released the MV of "Ten Years of the World". The first story is a photo from 1997.

In front of the Baihua studio, Liu Huan hugged Cao Xuan and smiled brightly at the camera.

At that time, Cao Xuan had just come out of the crew of "Water Margin". He had a slightly rustic crew cut, but his face was filled with a youthful and unscrupulous smile.

With this kind of smile, Cao Xuan later deepened training in artist manners, felt the competition and fighting in the circle, started his career, dealt with all kinds of teachings and nine streams, and never regained the state of wanton youth at the beginning.

The second photo is still in 1997. Cao Xuan remembers it very clearly. On November 11, his 13nd birthday, Fanxing Studio was officially established.

He, Zhang Chong, and Jiang Yue stood in front of the small courtyard they had just rented. Jiang Yue's husband Han Qi who came to help took a photo.

The third photo is still in 1997. It was a commercial performance of him at a certain opening ceremony. He only sang "1 Reasons". I don't know who took it. Later, it was posted on the Internet, and Jiang Yue saw it and bought it. return.

Then, finally in 1998, the news of the peak battle of [Southern Renbeibeicao] was written in the huge newspapers.

It was the first time Cao Xuan held a signing event, held a fan meeting for the first time, participated in a large number of interviews for the first time, participated in an official party for the first time, participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time...

In 1999, Cao Xuan became popular, the name of the king of heaven was widely spread, and his party from Taiwan Province caused a sensation in Baodao.

In 2000, Cao Xuan became a god in three specialties, dominated countless charts, became No.1 in the Chinese music scene, and held many concerts, including the Temple of Heaven concert with 10 people.

In 2001, created a Chinese style, promoted in Japan and South Korea, and reached the top of Asia.

In 2002, he sang in the final of the World Cup, impacting Europe and the United States.

In 2003, won the Grammy for the first time, No. [-] in Asia, and all the heroes of the Chinese music scene bowed their heads.

In 2004, Billboard won the championship and became popular all over the world.

In 2005, the transformation of the film industry continued, and "Ordinary Road" crushed Xiao Zhou.

In 2006, "Legend" became a god and became the world's top king.

In 2007, many awards were awarded, a global tour, a new Chinese album came back, ten years in the world.

"It's too late to tell, the story is so ups and downs

The most amazing peaks

Fulfilling you, I am arrogant

The clear brilliance of the sea and the full moon fill the cup of light
There is the most arrogant snow mountain

I have heard you and I recite chapters

The bridge that the world is envious of, but ordinary
......"

Under the passionate drama, Cao Xuan stood in the concerts of Gongti, Shanghai Stadium with 8 people, Xiangjiang Red Pavilion, Tokyo Dome, Seoul World Stadium, Harbin City, Quancheng, Rongcheng, Taiwan Province, Qatar, Dubai, and Singapore superior.

Cao Xuan waved his right hand lightly, and countless fans waved with tears in their eyes and sang along with his singing, the stars were dotted with stars, reflecting the sky full of stars.

The concert stage scenes flashed back one by one, and finally it was the most grand Tiantan concert in Cao Xuan's personal career. Cao Xuan sang with the piano, and 10 people sang in unison.

The breeze blew up, and the camera returned to the yellowed and old photo ten years ago. The screen turned again, and under the shadow, Cao Xuan was sitting alone on a high stool, smiling and looking at the camera, gently playing Sing the last two lines.

"With the thinnest handwriting

All have turned yellow with memory

And I'm paving the way for the next chapter

......"

The end of the song, the sound falls!
A line of words appeared on the screen, [Ten years in the world, ten years in the world, next ten years, we will meet again]

The shadow behind the subtitles stood up, bowed slightly, the screen went black, and the MV was completely over.

And the impact of this song is extremely huge. "Ten Years of the World" is not only sung for Cao Xuan himself, but also for the fans who have accompanied him for so many years.

This is not only Cao Xuan's autobiographical song, but also a tribute to fans.

Perhaps from now on, let Cao Xuan fans individually choose a favorite song. Individuals have their own ideas, and it is difficult to reach a consensus, but if they are asked to collectively choose a song, "Ten Years of the World" will be the best representative .

Some music critics commented that Cao Xuan's "Human World" sang the feelings of his [-]s.

"Passing Through the World", feeling "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze", seeing "Blooming Flowers All the Way", after "Ten Years of the World", the youth has passed away, and I am already an "old boy"...

The album "Human World" may not be as popular and sold as before, but its reputation and depth, but many people think it is Cao Xuan's top three or even the best album. Mtime.com's peak score was 9.8 points, and then slowly fall back.

Cao Lang is old, but he is not "exhausted". On the contrary, his songs are more flavorful!
Although Cao Xuan sang "Reward for Elegance and Vulgarity" and despised the dispute between elegance and vulgarity, this piece of "Human World" won him many literary fans.
