Chapter 56: Creating the Chinese Music World’s North and South Double Kings (33)

Taiwan Province, an apartment

"I'm a mother-in-law. If these media don't do shit every day, they know nonsense."

Ren Xianqi's friend Jiu Kong threw the newspaper in his hand on the ground angrily, and the headline could be vaguely seen on the half-wrinkled newspaper.

"Ren Xianqi: The Ugliest Yang Guo"

"Forget it, you know the virtues of this group of media, so why are you mad at yourself?"

Compared with Jiu Kong, who is fighting for his friends, Ren Xianqi's attitude is more calm, or numb.

On August 8, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" starring him and Wu Qianlian was broadcast in Taiwan Province, which immediately caused a wave of criticism and scolding.

The media and the audience rated them as the ugliest Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in history, and from time to time they were compared with the 95 editions of Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong, which changed their ways to harm people.

Under the overwhelming negative comments, Ren Xianqi was angry at first, but then struggled to no avail, and simply lay down Ren Cao.

However, everyone scolds and scolds. Jin Yong's martial arts charm is not covered. The ratings of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" are not bad, which gives Ren Xianqi some confidence.

What makes him even more gratified is that the theme song "Ren Xiaoyao" and the ending song "Sad Pacific" have been loved by many people, and they have been slaughtered on major charts in Taiwan.

Even with the new album "Love in the Pacific" released on the 28th, it has been selling well all the way, and it has exceeded 20 sales in just a few days, and the results are extremely dazzling.

Although he has begun to enter the film and television industry, Ren Xianqi's current main business is singer.

Compared with the performance of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", what he values ​​more is the sales and feedback of the new album.

According to the sales in the past few days, Ren Xianqi's appeal in Taiwan Province is worthy of the name of the new king of Taiwan Province.

As for Hong Kong, although it is not as good as those Cantonese albums, it has almost met expectations.

The only thing Ren Xianqi is worried about now is the mainland.

Different from the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets in the Chinese music scene in the past few years, although the mainland is still full of piracy, the market potential that has erupted under the huge population base is enough to make everyone look at it.

Ren Xianqi is the first batch of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers to taste the sweetness of the mainland market.

Therefore, whether it is Ren Xianqi or the record company Rolling Stones behind him, they are very concerned about the mainland sales of "Love in the Pacific" this time.

Before that, they studied the current market situation in the mainland, and naturally they also discovered the strong Cao Xuan and "Starry Night".

Speaking of which, Ren Xianqi is no stranger to Cao Xuan.

Last year, when the saying that Nan Ren and Bei Cao was just emerging, Taiwan media interviewed him on this issue. Ren Xianqi didn't know Cao Xuan at the time, so he didn't speak rashly.

Later, I checked Cao Xuan's information, and after learning about it, although I didn't think Cao Xuan could be side by side with myself, he didn't say any bad words.

Until this year, Cao Xuan became popular, and the new album pushed Naying and Li Wen, two singers, to the ground and rubbed them together.

For the first time, Ren Xianqi began to pay attention to this "North Cao" who was nine years younger than himself. He also bought a special copy of "Fantastic Stars". After listening to it, he couldn't help but be shocked by Cao Xuan's talent.

Cao Xuan wrote so many excellent songs by himself. He has only seen such talent in two people.

Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng.

His fellow junior brother Ashin is also very good at writing songs, but he has not achieved outstanding results for the time being and cannot compare with the other three.

After listening to Ren Xianqi of "The Stars", I decided at that time that this album would be my biggest rival.

Sure enough, "Fairy Tale" and "Twilight" continued to dominate the major music charts in the mainland, suppressing other songs, and their momentum was unparalleled.

Ren Xianqi doesn't want to compete with Cao Xuan, but if his new album wants to open up the mainland market, he has to hit the charts to increase the influence of the songs in the album.

The two of them are destined to have a real sword fight!

……

Ren Xianqi was thinking about this when the doorbell rang, Jiu Kong went to open the door, and his agent Ke Shangmin squeezed in sweat.

"Xiao Qi, the company has formulated a promotion plan for your new album in the Mainland."

"How to say?"

"Remember last year's North-South Cao?" The last time Cao Xuan touched our porcelain, this time we'll take advantage of his potential to directly fight a North-South war for him, to make your new album hot.

"That's not good..."

Ren Xianqi was a little hesitant, but Ke Shangmin knew that he was kind and hurried to persuade him.

"Don't worry, this matter is beneficial to both of us. When our new album becomes popular, they also get attention, and putting the two of you together to compete is also a disguised promotion of Cao Xuan's celebrity."

"We just took advantage of the situation and didn't make any extra moves. When the time comes, the competition will still rely on real skills."

Jiu Kong also expressed his approval, and joked: "Last time Cao Xuan hyped you up, this time it's time for him to return our favor."

With the persuasion of friends and agents, Ren Xianqi agreed to this promotion plan.

The Rolling Stones immediately exerted force, and soon, the relevant media began to hype the news of [Nan Ren and Bei Cao confrontation].

When other media saw it, they immediately felt the taste of the explosion, and they all came off to help. For a while, news about the North-South war spread all over the two sides of the strait and three places.
Mainland's popular fried chicken VS Taiwan's new king

The fans were very excited, the ordinary people were also happy to eat melons, and even people from all walks of life followed to watch the excitement.

Warner also saw the intention of Rolling Stone, but as Ke Shangmin said before, this matter is of great benefit to Ren Xianqi, and it also helps Cao Xuan a lot.

After Zhou Jianhui and senior officials and Cao Xuan himself passed the anger, they also began to contribute to this matter.

In the mid-to-late 80s, PolyGram launched "Tan Zhang for Hegemony", and the entire Hong Kong music scene was dominated by Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung.

In the early 90s, the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Hong Kong music scene was highly popular, and its popularity overwhelmed all singers in Taiwan and mainland China during the same period.

Today, Tan and Zhang are half-hidden in the music world, and the four heavenly kings have been transformed one after another, and the glory is not there.

However, during this period, Ren Xianqi and Cao Xuan were born, and they unexpectedly reached a confrontation between [South Ren and Bei Cao].

It's a rare opportunity. Warner and Rolling Stone, the old enemies, have a rare tacit understanding. They plan to make a joint shot to popularize the saying of "Southern Renbei Cao" and create a new era of Chinese music.

Ren Xianqi is Rolling Stone's own artist, and naturally supports him at all costs.

Warner Zhou Jianhui wanted to sign a long-term cooperation contract with Cao Xuan, and he also showed his courage, intending to let Cao Xuan see Warner's sincerity.

Under the joint efforts of the two parties, [South Renbei Cao] appeared in the public's attention over and over again, and the fame of Ren Xianqi and Cao Xuan also rose.

Ren Xianqi, who was already popular, is now even more popular.

And Cao Xuan is not only gaining popularity in the mainland, but also gradually becoming famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan...
