Chapter 51 Sales and film and television invitations on the way up

On June 1998, 6, the World Cup in France kicked off

For the first time in this World Cup, 32 teams participated in the competition, and Brazil beat Scotland 2-1 in the opening match.

Cao Xuan, who had just held a signing meeting in Changshan, Hebei Province, watched the game with Zhang Chong at the hotel.

Zhang Chong deeply regretted that Ronaldo did not score.

This guy actually doesn't know the ball, but he heard about Ronaldo, so he automatically became a Brazilian fan.

What impressed Cao Xuan most was the World Cup theme song "Cup of Life" sung by Redding March.

Speaking of which, when Cao Xuan was running the album promotion, he also received a media interview. The reporter happened to be a fan. He heard that Cao Xuan also watched football, so he asked him to predict the champion of this World Cup.

At this time, Ronaldo is at his peak. Before the game, many people thought that he would become the new king if he won the championship. Brazil is naturally also the favorite of the World Cup.

The reporter is very optimistic about Brazil, but Cao Xuan, who knows the result, said that the host France has the advantage of being at home and is expected to reach the top.

Cao Xuan vaguely remembered that after he finished speaking, the reporter looked like you didn't understand the ball.

Later, this reporter really put Cao Xuan's prediction on the board. After Cao Xuan saw the report, he wanted to see what the reporter's expression would look like if there was no butterfly effect in the final and France finally won the championship.

Cao Xuan stayed in Ji Province for five days, sold almost 3 albums, and then headed south to Lu Province.

The people of my hometown still support Cao Xuan.

According to Warner's statistics, the areas where Cao Xuan's albums are sold the most are Beijing and Tianjin. This is Cao Xuan's base after his debut, and his songs are the most popular.

After that, Lu Xing, the old family scolded Ximen Qing, but it was not ambiguous when it was time to pay for it.

This time, Cao Xuan is also considered to be returning home, and he worked very hard at signing sales. He spent a total of one week in Quancheng and Dao City. After that, he also temporarily added two signing events in the tobacco market, and the total sales exceeded 8+.

Many of them are not fans of Cao Xuan, or they are fans of piracy and piracy.

After Cao Xuan held the signing meeting in the local area, many people knew that Cao Xuan was from Lu Province, and the feelings of fellow villagers burst out, and they bought one or two to support him.

When the traffic was not developed, there were very few exchanges between different places, and most people had a strong sense of locality. It was something to be proud of when a big star appeared in their own province or city.

Even later, with the development of transportation, the concept of locality gradually faded.

But there are still many people who have an instinctive intimacy for the stars in their hometown with their own hometown filters.

By the time Cao Xuan left from Lu Province and rushed to the next province and city, the total sales of "Fantastic Stars" had exceeded 70, and it was less than two months before the album was released.

Several title songs of the album continue to dominate the major music charts.

"Fairy Tale" has been at the top of the list for more than a month, and "Dusk"'s second place position is also extremely reliable.

On the contrary, the competition for the third is fierce. Naying's "Conquer" is persistent and tenacious, but "Run" has enough stamina, and has been eyeing the third to charge.

In addition, in June, Hong Kong singer Gigi Leung released her masterpiece "The Coward", and Karen Mok and Wu Bai jointly released "Reason to Be Strong". The two songs quickly reached the top ten and threatened "Run" and "Conquer".

The popularity of "Angel's Wings" and "Autumn Does Not Return" dropped slightly, but they remained in the top ten.

With such terrifying sales and achievements of "Dian Dian Xing Dian Dian", half of the Chinese music scene was shaken.

No one would have thought that Cao Xuan, the beam jumping clown who was ridiculed by everyone last year for being over his own strength, would be so defiant with his first album.

[Nan Ren Bei Cao] This term is mentioned again by everyone, but it is different from the previous two ridicule and encouragement.

This time, everyone really recognized that the two are singers of the same level.

Perhaps, Cao Xuan is not as good as Ren Xianqi for the time being.

But with his potential, no one will think that Cao Xuan is not worthy of being side by side with Ren Xianqi.

Even the Taiwanese media, who have always been poisonous, said that Cao Xuan's album sales are all in the mainland, and Hong Kong and Taiwan are not popular at all, but they dare not say that Cao Xuan is a bad boy who touches porcelain.

The Hong Kong media was happy to see jokes, and kept making fun of the fact that the Taiwan media was slapped by Cao Xuan in the newspapers.

Now I want to invite him to make a restricted movie, the salary is less than 500 million, and I am humiliating myself when I say it.

The mainland media is even more opposed to the previous black follower, and has a high evaluation of Cao Xuan, directly defining Cao Xuan as a representative of the new generation of singers in the mainland, and a key figure in the future mainland music scene to resist the torrent of entertainment from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The words are so exaggerated that even Cao Xuan himself can't stand it. He suspects that this group of people is not bragging about him, but wanting to kill him.

Sony, who almost reached a cooperation with Cao Xuan before, is now even more regretful.

But now I can only watch Warner's mouth full of oil, not only reversing the previous decline, but also initially gaining a firm foothold in the mainland market, leading other record companies by a large margin.

Because of this, Zhou Jianhui, the head of Warner, can't wait to confess Cao Xuan, and call him three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.

have you eaten?
Tired?
how's the weather?

How are you sleeping?
Must pay attention to the body?

Cao Xuan compared the frequency of his calls to Hu Jing and Zeng Li, and felt that he was a cold scumbag.

Of course, the dignified president of Warner Greater China is not idle and has nothing to do with Cao Xuan. Zhou Jianhui's purpose is to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Cao Xuan.

If it was just a strong intention before, now seeing the sales of "The Stars", Zhou Jianhui is a must for Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan is not in a hurry about this.

Although the cooperation with Warner was good this time, other big record companies also threw generous olive branches to him.

Personally, Cao Xuan is more inclined towards Warner. After all, there is a good foundation for cooperation. Warner is the first choice in the case of equal or even a small gap.

The album was a big hit, bringing Cao Xuan a very high popularity bonus, and also won many film and television invitations.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the distinction between singers and actors is sometimes not so clear.

Many excellent singers are also good actors, and they pay attention to being almighty.

In today's mainland, singers and actors are very different from each other, and there are not many people who develop film and television songs. Cao Xuan is an outlier.

More importantly, although Cao Xuan has a higher achievement as a singer, he can't stand Ximen Qing's official popularity.

Many people heard Cao Xuan's name and knew that he was a singer, but when they saw his face, most people's first reaction was Ximen Qing.

There is a well-known role in the background, so that many directors and producers do not regard him as a singer, and thus ignore his actor status.

On the contrary, after learning about Cao Xuan's information, many people are eyeing his popularity.

When Ren Xianqi was the most popular last year, someone in Taiwan Province asked him to play Yang Guo.

Cao Xuan has acting experience, looks good, and is very popular.

　I ate bad food, and even vomited and vented. I really don't have the state to write. I will update it today.
