China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 57 The South and the North Cao, the Peak Showdown
Of course, if you want to become the two kings of the Chinese music scene, you can't just rely on hype, but also have real results.

Otherwise, a few random people would pop up to form four little heavenly kings, eight kings of diamonds, twelve silver hairpins, and one hundred and eight good men, and the media would swarm them and stomp them all into superstars.

Then what else do you sing, just flatter the media, and then wait for the sleeping fans to go to jail...

So no matter when there are no works and achievements in the entertainment industry, the waist will never be hard.

Forcibly raising one's own position is just self-deception, and it will also cause ridicule and contempt from the industry and the outside world.

Virtue does not match, there will be disasters!
Now, the momentum of [South Renbei Cao] has been picked up by Rolling Stones and Warner Bros.

Whether they can catch, maintain or even expand this momentum depends on Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi themselves.

It was Ren Xianqi who made the first move.

Last year's song "Heart is Too Soft" made him a lot of popularity on both sides of the strait. Now, with the help of the fandom of "Nan Ren Bei Cao", the new album will soon become popular in the mainland.

In a short period of time, the three songs of Ren Xianqi's new album have successively entered the top ten of major music charts.

"Sad Pacific" and "The Girl Across the Street" even cut down many powerful enemies in a row, and finally suppressed Naying's "Conquer", both of which made it to the top four, posing a threat to "Fairy Tale" and "Twilight".

Since "Starry Night" was released in early May and beat Na Young's "Conquer", there have been no songs that could threaten the top two for months.

Peng Jiahui's "Meet Hate Late" once had a chance, but when it was bad luck, there was a joint strangulation of "Run" and "Conquer" before, and the potential was severely depleted.

Later, I finally recovered some vitality, and when I was about to continue to attack the top three, I ran into Ren Xianqi who came with the general trend, and now I was directly squeezed to seventh.

Now, it has to be the new song by Ren Xianqi, Cao Xuan's "natural enemy", who finally shakes the dominance of "Fairy Tale" and "Twilight".

However, Cao Xuan is not a vegetarian, and [Nan Ren Bei Cao] also brought him benefits.

"Starry Night", which had already declined in popularity, was stimulated by such a stimulus and regained new vitality.

"Fairy Tale" and "Twilight" took the opportunity to reinforce their advantages, and "Run" took the opportunity to officially overtake "Conquer", watching the two songs of Ren Xianqi who were in the front, waiting for an opportunity.

"Angel's Wings" and "Autumn Does Not Return", which have been squeezed out of the top ten, have also risen in the rankings to varying degrees.

"Angel's Wings" is ranked No.13, and is expected to return to the top ten and join the battle.

[Nan Ren Bei Cao] A total of 6 songs gathered in the top ten of the chart, and they started to fight directly.

The media and the melon eaters were inexplicably excited, and everyone moved to the small bench in anticipation to watch this rare fight between gods in the Chinese music world.

In this head-to-head confrontation, Ren Xianqi and Cao Xuan have their own strengths and weaknesses.

The former is better than Cao Xuan in terms of becoming popular earlier, and the accumulated popularity is higher. The latter's advantage lies in the fact that the album has dominated the charts for several months, and the influence and popularity of the songs are greater.

So this matchup was destined to be a fierce and protracted tug of war from the very beginning.

At the very beginning of the battle, the two sides were in a stalemate stage, and the stalemate stage of either attacking Cao Shou.

Until September 9, Ren Xianqi broke through Cao Xuan's blockade for the first time, and "Sad Pacific" surpassed "Twilight" and finished second.

This time, the clarion call for a full-scale war was sounded!

Qin Provincial Radio Station
At 5:50 in the morning, Xiaoguang, the host of "Music On Demand", sat in the broadcasting room on time.

After a simple adjustment of the machine, two tongue twisters came to him, and he exercised his tongue. After receiving the OK gesture from the assistant, Xiaoguang turned on the microphone.

At 6 o'clock, Xiaoguang's voice reached the ears of all listeners listening to "Music On Demand" along with the radio wave signal.

"Good morning, listeners, everyone listens to our "Music On Demand" program on time. I am the host Xiaoguang. If you want to order music, please call our column hotline 82**404."

After introducing the usual opening remarks, Xiaoguang chatted a few more words, and didn't return to the topic until he saw the assistant's gesture.

"Not much to say, let's take the call from the first listener today, hello, hello."

"Hey, is that Xiaoguang?"

"Hello, I'm Xiaoguang. May I ask this listener, what song would you like to order?"

"Can I order some more?"

"Sorry, for the sake of other listeners, we suggest you just order one song."

"Alright then, I'll order Cao Xuan's "Fairy Tale"."

"Okay, "Fairy Tale", which is currently number one on the list, will be delivered soon."

Xiaoguang hung up the phone, and the assistant cut the song immediately. After the whole "Fairy Tale" was broadcast, Xiaoguang answered the second call.

"Hey, I want Ren Xianqi's "Sad Pacific". Besides, Cao Xuan's melon skin is not worthy of being tied with our little brother Qi, he..."

Xiaoguang hung up the phone and said calmly: "Hello, hello? This listener seems to have dropped the line. Okay, let's listen to "Sad Pacific"."

A few minutes later, Xiaoguang connected a third call.

"I want Cao Xuan's "Dusk", he is the worthy number one, and Ren Xianqi is a fool..."

"This listener seems to have dropped the line too. Well, please enjoy "Dusk"."

Xiaoguang was a little melancholy. I don't know if it was because of my bad luck today. After just three phone calls, there were two small accidents.

However, what he never expected was that what happened just now was just the beginning.

The next morning, "Music On Demand" was completely the song-on-demand PK of Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi, plus a complete collection of swearing dialects in Qin Sheng.

"I ordered "The Girl Opposite Look Over", and Cao Xuan is a broken counselor..."

"Hey, I want "Twilight", the one who scolded Cao Xuan in front of me, don't let your forehead touch you, and your mouth will slap you..."

"It's all a township party, listen to the songs well, don't scold people, I'll order "Fairy Tale"."

""Sad Pacific", just scold and scold, Cao Xuangua..."

"..."

Later, Xiaoguang became smart, and after listening to the title of the song, he directly resorted to the method of disconnecting.

This time, the dialects of Qin Province are gone, but Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi's song request PK is intensifying.

Every day, fans of the two people call to order songs. Of the 10 calls received by the program group, basically 8 are to order the songs of the two of them.

Especially "Fairy Tale" and "Sad Pacific", which are in the forefront, Xiaoguang played it over and over again, and his ears could hear calluses.

Xiaoguang once mobilized the staff of the column team to make phone calls with relatives and friends, intending to return to normal.

However, a large number of fans calling, still made Xiaoguang useless.

Xiaoguang is not the only victim. Radio stations and TV stations in other regions, almost all those who have songs on demand, have experienced similar experiences.

This year's major music charts are basically ranked by TV stations and radio stations based on song on-demand rate, exposure and other factors, among which the on-demand rate is the key.

Now on the leaderboard, the battle situation of [Southern and Northern Cao] is anxious.

Fans of Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi naturally couldn't turn a blind eye, and decisively picked up the phone and ordered songs to support their favorite singers.

At first, only the hardcore fans of both sides ended up, and later ordinary fans and even passers-by were involved.

The three major operators all laughed, and they earned a fortune in phone bills...
