Chapter 575 12 Years "Chapter" Turned Over, "Unforgettable Tonight"

February 2010, 2, New Year's Eve

Cao Xuan, who got up early, went for a run on the track at home, and then came to the restaurant to have breakfast.

Boiled Shrimp + Oatmeal + Two Vegetarian Buns + Eggs + Fruits
When filming "Let the Bullets Fly", Cao Xuan needed to gain weight because of the role. He ate nonstop food every day and didn't exercise much. He gained more than 20 catties in one breath.

As a result, after filming the filming, it was time to lose weight.

Rapid weight gain + rapid weight loss is extremely harmful to the body. Cao Xuan simply has no job, so he loses weight slowly. The advantage is that it does not hurt the body, and the disadvantage is that the diet has been light for several months.

How good Cao Xuan ate at that time, and he has returned all these months.

In fact, the chef at home is very skilled. Although the food is light, it is not a crime. It's just that Cao Xuan's taste is salty and spicy, and he prefers meat. Although these dishes taste good, he always feels unsatisfied.

However, Cao Xuan was in a much better mood considering that he could break the precept for the New Year's Eve dinner at night, and the boiled prawns in front of him could taste like stewed prawns.

After dinner, Zhu Jiang and the others also arrived. Cao Xuan changed his clothes and went to see his daughter.

There are many houses in the family, so although little Cao Li is less than three years old, he has already allocated a yard.

She usually lives here, and Zeng Li, Sun Lan or the nanny sleeps with her, or lives in their room with Zeng Li and Sun Lan.

Zeng Li is busy with the Chinese opera art exam these days, and the art exam for the 2010 class will be in a few days after the year. She is one of the managers, busier than Hu Jing, the vice president.

When she was busy, her daughter slept with Sun Lan. When Cao Xuan came in, Sun Lan had already woken up, and little Cao Li was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

"I slept soundly."

Cao Xuan rolled up the quilt for his daughter, couldn't help laughing, and Sun Lan, who was combing her hair beside her, nodded approvingly.

"Your old Cao's family can sleep, as long as your father sleeps to death, he won't wake up when the house collapses.

You are similar. When you were in elementary school, I remember that there was a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, and a big willow tree in the village was chopped down. You woke up the next day and said you didn’t hear it. Born to feel heavy..."

Cao Xuan didn't expect that he would sigh with emotion, and also lead to a dark history, which made him very tired.

"Okay, I'm going to CCTV. This year Xiao Song and Aunt Zhou are celebrating the New Year in the capital, so you should take it easy on the New Year's Eve dinner."

Cao Xuan himself has a personal chef, Song Mingqing, who usually takes him with him when he is out filming, and turns into a home cook when he is not filming, but he is mainly responsible for Cao Xuan's three meals a day.

In addition to Song Mingqing, the family also has a chef, Zhou Yan, who was born as a nanny and has never been a famous teacher, but she is very good at cooking, especially at home cooking.

In the words of her colleague Song Mingqing, with her craftsmanship, she can set up a private restaurant casually.

Song and Zhou are not from the capital city, but Zhou's wife passed away, and he has a bad relationship with his daughter-in-law. Except for visiting his grandson occasionally, he doesn't like to go back to his hometown very much, and most of them stay at Cao's house during the holidays.

As for Song Mingqing, it was simpler. He traveled around with Cao Xuan, not only as a private chef, but also as a professional nutritionist with a high salary.

After two years of employment, plus the previous savings, he has already bought a house in the capital with a down payment. Today, he can help prepare some New Year's Eve dinner at Cao's house, and then wait until the afternoon to bring food home for the New Year.

"Go, go, you don't have to worry about your family."

In the 12 years of Spring Festival Gala career, it has long been a habit for Cao Xuan not to be at home all day on New Year's Eve, and Sun Lan doesn't care.

"..."

Cao Xuan originally thought that this year would be the last time for him to attend the Spring Festival Gala, so his wife encouraged him a few words.

But thinking about it yesterday, my mother is really not such a hypocritical person. If she really pulls herself to talk about those chicken soups with earnestness, Cao Xuan will not be used to it.

Fortunately, although the old lady is not strong, the East and West Second Palace is still sensible, knowing that today has a different meaning to Cao Xuan.

When Cao Xuan was about to leave, the two palaces smacked their faces one after another, and encouraged him warmly.

"Come on, smooth sailing, success in no time."

"Act well, when the time comes, I will hold my daughter and watch TV, and let her see her father's demeanor."

Saying goodbye to the East and West Second Palace, sitting in the car, Cao Xuan touched both cheeks, but he wondered if the two of them had a tacit understanding of one left and one right, whether they had discussed it......

When I came to the CCTV building, the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala was as busy as in previous years.

Looking at the [Cao Xuan Dressing Room] label on the dressing room, he planned to take a group photo and post it on Weibo to commemorate after the performance. I am afraid that there will be no such five words in the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala in the future.

After changing his clothes, Cao Xuan walked around the scene every day, and watched TV in the dressing room when he had nothing to do. It was the most popular "The Temptation of Going Home" right now.

This drama has been aired once, with an average rating of 7.21, and the highest rating is a strong 10.

You know, the average ratings of last year's annual ratings champion "Going to the West Exit" was only 6.9, and the data of "The Temptation of Going Home" is not an exaggeration.

But the most exaggerated thing is the ratings of the rebroadcast, which once reached 4.2, and the second round of rebroadcast rights is so crazy.

Penguin Video even won the exclusive online copyright of "The Temptation of Going Home" at a price of 20 an episode.

The starry version of "The Temptation of Going Home" is much more compact than the original plot, and many useless branches and plots have been deleted. In the end, only 50 episodes were filmed.

20 per episode is 1000 million RMB, which may not seem like a lot, but it is definitely a sky-high price on the current online video sites.

You know, last year's hit "My Team Leader, My Team" had an average episode of only 2 yuan, and the cumulative copyright of the whole show was only about 80 yuan.

In the previous "Golden Wedding" and "Soldier Assault", the average level was only a few thousand yuan per level, which is absolutely the price of cabbage.

However, the current situation is different after all. With the strong entry of Penguin Star last year, it also means that the capital of Internet giants has begun to extend its influence to the field of video websites.

Penguin and Fanxing are the first, and Baidu also announced in January this year that it would invest in the establishment of a video site [Qiyi], together with the original Sohu Video.

Originally, Youku and Tudou, the two dominant video sites, suddenly became a crowd of rivals.

Unlike these three websites that are backed by large capital, Youku and Tudou are currently independent, and because video websites have no income, they cannot afford to burn money for financing, so they can only seek to go public.

Tudou is currently progressing a bit faster, but being held back by the boss's ex-wife, Youku is likely to catch up and become the first video site to go public.

But in any case, after the listing, the two companies will have more funds, and the copyright war is expected to start.

Even the two have not yet been listed, and now there are signs of it. Many popular dramas have risen from tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in the past two years to millions or even tens of millions.

For example, Qiong Yao's "Xin Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is just starting up now, not only TV stations are grabbing it, but major video sites are also starting to work.

The original time and space "Xin Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was finally won by Sohu. The whole drama cost 3000 million yuan. The single episode of Dead Girl "Gong 2" was 184 million yuan, and the whole drama cost more than 6000 million yuan. Jia Jingwen's "The Secret History of Princess Taiping" A single episode is 200 million yuan, and the whole drama is 9000 million yuan.

From 2009 to 2011, in the past three years, several video websites have almost been crazy about spending money.

In the end, each family hurt themselves, so they gave up one after another. However, the price of online copyrights has been completely hyped up.

Of course, the most important thing is that almost all small and medium-sized video sites were lost in this copyright war, either hanging up or being acquired.

For video sites, although a lot of money was spent, all potential opponents were swept away, and only a few of them were left in the end, and it was their turn to formulate the rules.

Fanxing and Penguin burned hundreds of millions last year, and it is estimated that they will continue to burn this year.

Fanxing and Penguin Star have a cooperation contract, and the film and television produced by Fanxing will be given priority to Penguin Star.

However, the purchase price of Penguin Star cannot be lower than 90% of the market price or 75% of the highest price of other competitors. At the same time, various resources of Penguin Star should be given priority to Fanxing Film and Television and artists.

After all, although Fanxing is the major shareholder of Penguin Star, they are not a family after all, and they can get discounts, but the accounts still need to be clearly separated.

Although the price of "The Temptation of Going Home" was high, considering its ratings and influence, it was definitely worth the money, and it brought a lot of traffic to Penguin Star.

Both TV and the Internet are blooming, and "The Temptation of Going Home" has become the well-deserved No. 2010 hot drama in the beginning of [-].

Of course, compared to a serious drama like "Walking to the West", the reputation of this drama is still somewhat controversial.

Many people think that it is a bit bloody, that entertainment is too serious, and it also contains negative energy, which affects the social atmosphere, and requests that it be banned like "Snail House".

But then again, TV dramas, sometimes the more bloody they are, the more people like to watch them.

Some people don't like it and think it's crazy, but the middle-aged women and children who are the main viewers find it particularly interesting.

As for the negative energy, this is a bit of a nonsense. There is indeed a scene where the mistress seduces a scumbag, but the theme is revenge and slap in the face. I dare not say positive energy, but it will definitely not affect the social atmosphere.

The drama was filmed by Fanxing and broadcast by CCTV. With these two big backers blocking it, there were some acid words, which were not worth mentioning.

The popularity of TV series is hot.Many leading actors have benefited a lot, needless to say Da Mimi, who is now so popular.

Although she did not log on to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala due to lack of time, she participated in the Spring Festival Gala of four satellite TVs in Hunan Province, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hui Province by herself.

What's more, it's worth noting that these four satellite TV stations are all recording and broadcasting lip-syncing, so Cao Xuan doesn't have to worry about the big honey for the time being.

In fact, Da Mimi has been repeatedly disliked by Cao Xuan in the past two years, and she has also devoted herself to practicing her vocal skills in private, and her professional level is much better than before.

It's incomparable with professional players, but it can be considered as a Maiba level if you get to KTV, it's enough to fool fans and laymen...

Tang Yan, who plays Ellie, has also become very popular. "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Temptation of Going Home" have been two hits in a row, making her another rising star in Class 02 of Chinese Opera.

Now she is the first sister of Rong Xinda, playing the role of Wang Xifeng in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and her treatment is much better than that of Da Mi Mi from the original time and space.

The hero Tong Dawei also showed his face.

Speaking of which, after he joined the Star System with Wang Jinhua, although he also obtained some resources, he was overwhelmed by Hu Jun and Chen Daoming, and he was not as good as Hu Ge and other direct descendants of the Stars, so his career did not make great progress.

Until this time, the company considered that he is also very suitable for the image of a scumbag, so "The Temptation of Going Home" let him play the male lead Hong Shixian, which made him very popular.

After all, regardless of the famous work "Struggle", "The Temptation of Going Home" has the best data influence, but due to the character design, the current gain may not be as strong as "Struggle".

But it's only now. In a few years, with the prevalence of ghost animal emoji culture, maybe it will become popular again.

Cao Xuan was lucky, he just caught up with the famous scene - Pinru's wardrobe... no, clothes.

Not to mention, although Cao Xuan's famous scenes are preconceived, I really think Tong Dawei and Tang Yan played well.

Especially Tang Yan, he really thinks she is quite suitable for such a flirtatious and profligate villain, or she might just follow the route of sister Yu.

At any rate, I came from a Chinese opera, and I have a good foundation, and I have acted well in a few well-reputed dramas. There is no need to focus on acting stupid and sweet, wasting my advantages for nothing, and getting the infamy of "shame of Chinese opera" .

But Tang Yan is not her own artist, and Cao Xuan is too lazy to give advice, and besides, he may not be willing to listen to others.

Regardless of the top-level resources, Cao Xuan doesn't believe that Tangyan can't get access to some Yujie's scripts, but he prefers to stay in his comfort zone.

After all, acting silly and sweet doesn't necessarily mean poor ratings. You get a lot of money and the acting is easy, so why bother to break through yourself.

Comparing my heart to my heart, 90% of people would make the same choice as her if they could get the money right. However, since they made such a choice, all kinds of criticism and infamy can only be endured by themselves.

Cao Xuan watched two episodes of "The Temptation of Going Home" and one episode of "Country Love 3".

Lao Zhao directed it himself, Xiao Shenyang became the leading actor, and took over the TV series "The Temptation of Going Home" in Yangba, and the ratings were also very good.

However, in terms of quality, it is not 01:30 worse than the previous two films. It has changed from a rural love drama to a rural love drama.

Dog blood is dog blood, and the key plot design is not good.

"The Temptation of Going Home" is also bloody, but there are not many low-intelligence plots. Many plots are arranged smoothly, and the conflicts are relatively reasonable.

And the group of people in "Country Love 3" is love in circles, hopping on their feet, and going back and forth is just a misunderstanding. It can be clearly explained in one sentence, but it is going to be dragged to the finale.

And for the sake of conflicts, some characters are often set to be particularly disgusting.

It's okay to be a happy watch without a brain, a little research on the plot, it's a good medicine for hypotension...

Cao Xuan didn't have a brain, and he was all bored. Watching Liu Neng tormenting Xie Guangkun was quite fun, and what was even more fun was that he saw "Liu Neng" during lunch.

This year, Lao Zhao still led his apprentices to play the skit "Donation". His apprentices included Xiao Shenyang, Liu Neng, Liu Yingma, and the host of Liao Province, Dachanglian.

Lao Zhao took them to meet Cao Xuan during the rehearsal before, and Cao Xuan still had a good impression of the "Liu Neng couple".

Unlike Xiao Shenyang, who became popular with "Star of Tomorrow", these two are famous duo in the Northeast, and they both have the real skills of hard bridge and hard horse.

Liu Neng was the "King of CDs" in Northeast China back then, and the pirated copies of Errenzhuan CDs are said to have sold tens of millions, and the momentum is very strong.

Liu Yingma, nicknamed "Black Mountain Old Demon", was once the most famous duo actress in Northeast China. She is good at direct dramas, and her song "Splashing Water Before the Horse" is very famous.

When Cao Xuan went to the Northeast for activities, he was invited by Lao Zhao to go to the Liu Laogen stage to watch a performance. The three actors who impressed him the most.

Xie Guangkun's "Shen Tune", Liu Neng's "Bao Gong Duan Hou·Bie Kiln", and an actress named Dong Mingzhu made him particularly amazing.

In Cao Xuan's eyes, the strength of Zhao's class is far higher than that of Little Black Fatty's Deyun Club.

It's a pity that after growing up, one of them was sloppy and gnawed at their old foundations, and muddled along;

On the contrary, the up-and-comers have a happy twist, relatively maintaining a normal line, and seem to have become a new comedy group.

In fact, Cao Xuan intended to support the two gangs at the beginning. After all, the domestic comedy market has made a lot of progress. Later, he disliked the two gangs for messing up too much, so he didn't worry about it enough.

So, Cao Xuan turned around and invested in Happy Twist, as well as the group of Laughter Brothers, and Cao Xuan also got Penguin Video in advance.

The former is filming a humorous skit, which is a bit like a semi-sitcom like "Waste Chai Brothers". The name is "Happy Twist", which is mainly to make the group famous.

The latter directly collaborated with the Fanxing Variety Department on a program called "Laughter Conference Room", which took the route of fragmented jokes, and may also shoot short videos or online dramas in the future.

Don't underestimate these short videos or comedy skits. A large part of the fame of Sohu Video is due to Dapeng's "Diaosi Man".

Even follow-up investment in the filming of "Pancake Man", with a box office of 10 billion+, the movie is bad, but it did bring a lot of money to Sohu.

The humorous skit is played well, it is a great supplement to the video website, and even these two comedy groups with countless backbones will become the key to the layout of Fanxing in comedy film and television.

In contrast, although Zhaojiaban and Deyun Society are not bad, they are really not as good as these two groups, and they have a lot of potential.

Speaking of it, Happy Twist can be regarded as the beginning of a drama, and the Spring Festival Gala became famous. Cao Xuan can try it later and help with the operation, so the Spring Festival Gala will be held in advance.

.........

Cao Xuan ate and played, and did not start serious preparations until the afternoon.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala started on time. The familiar hosts were still there, and the order of the performances was not bad.

Opening song and dance, festive songs, and Feng Gong's phrase "Dear audience friends, I miss you so much."

This year's Spring Festival Gala still has a lot of good songs and shows, and there are also many gimmicks.

Wang Fei came back and sang "Legend". After many years, the Little Tigers reunited.

Undoubtedly, Cao Xuan's program received the most attention, even Wang Fei and the Little Tigers combined.

And his show was around 10 pm, which was the best viewing area of ​​the Spring Festival Gala. The program team specially arranged it to give Cao Xuan a decent farewell moment.

Of course, ratings are also key.

This afternoon, the program list for the Spring Festival Gala was announced on the Internet, and there was even a trending search on Weibo.

【#10:05，Cao Xuan Be There or Be Square#】

An expert analyzed the duration of all programs bit by bit based on previous years' experience, and finally calculated that Cao Xuan's program is likely to be broadcast between 10:05 and 10:20.

After being liked on the official Weibo of the Spring Festival Gala, this Weibo spread quickly and successfully reached the top of the trending list. Many people stayed here to watch Cao Xuan's show.

"There is such a person who has accompanied us in the Spring Festival Gala for 12 years and contributed many well-known works to all audiences..."

At around 10:4, four hosts Zhu Jun, Dong Qing, Zhou Tao, and Zhang Zequn came out to report.

Such a show lineup is very rare, even unique, on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The audience who didn't know it thought that the zero o'clock timer started early.

"...Let us invite Cao Xuan to bring his program "Chapter"."

The host stepped back, and Cao Xuan appeared on the stage in a casual suit, which caused thunder from the audience.

Cao Xuan nodded his head slightly, and with the accompaniment, he pointed his mouth at the microphone, and a clear and ethereal voice sounded.

"Don't let dark clouds cover the blue sky
Don't let fate turn back the boat without oars
Don't let the night fall in your arms

let me be your company

......"

The song "Chapter" is the theme song of the program "The Voice of God". There are many versions, and Zhang Shaohan is the best.

Her ethereal and high-pitched voice is very penetrating, and she interprets this song extremely brilliantly, eclipsing other versions, and making many people truly realize what is called "a god-given voice".

In terms of voice, Cao Xuan is not as good as Zhang Shaohan, and few in the Chinese music scene can match it. This stuff is too talented.

But Cao Xuan didn't practice in vain for so many years. He has sung more than one similar high-pitched song.

Talent is not enough, skills come together.

Perhaps the penetrating power is slightly inferior, but the singing skills and emotional application are absolutely superior.

Just two high-pitched notes lightly caught countless people's eyes. Cao Xuan didn't sing many high-pitched notes in the Spring Festival Gala before, but this year he started to show, which is rare to see.

What surprised them even more was that when Cao Xuan sang, the classic images of the Spring Festival Gala from the past years appeared on the large LED screen behind him.

In 1999, Cao Xuan was wearing a long gown, clasped his fists in his hands, and congratulated with a beaming face.

In 2000, Cao Xuan dressed coolly and shouted out
"5000 years is finally my turn to play".

In 2001, Cao Xuan's song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" sang and cried countless dream chasers, and the king of sadness appeared for the first time.

In 2002, "The Sea of ​​Stars" became the benchmark of the main theme. The wind and rain of nearly a hundred years has drawn countless people to tears, and it is regarded as a classic of the Spring Festival Gala.

In 2003, "When You Are Old" once again sang and cried countless audiences, completing three kills.

In 2004, singing to the moon, "Borrowing the Moon" paid tribute to the heroes of SARS, crying and achieving four kills.

In 2005, the first Spring Festival Gala chorus, "The Drunken Concubine" and "Thousands of Miles Away", once again set off a wave of Chinese style.

In 2006, "So Many People in This World" was full of warmth and love.

In 2007, the son wanted to support but the relatives would not wait. "Where Has the Time Gone" made China tearful, and the five kills are peerless.

In 2008, "Heaven, Earth and Dragon Scales" sang the spirit of Chinese history.

In 2009, a song "Wanjiang" was dedicated to the Olympic Games and National Day, the red sun was in the sky, and the road was full of sunshine.

In 2010, Cao Xuan sang "Chapter" to bid farewell to himself and all the Spring Festival Gala audience.

"...

call me at dawn
pulse with warmth
call me with stars
flicker in the gaze
More romance surges in the depths of fate
Dreams break ground and grow more answers
Behind the stars, the sun has begun to shine

thank you for being with me

......"

At the end of the song, Cao Xuan bowed and stepped off the stage. While there was thunderous applause, some audience members at the scene and in front of the TV were gently wiping away their tears.

Maybe it's because of the song, or maybe it's because of the past 12 years.

After the performance, Cao Xuan did not leave. This year he has two shows, one is "Chapter" and the other is the final solo "Unforgettable Tonight".

This was a surprise given to him by the program group of the Spring Festival Gala. "Unforgettable Tonight" is the ending song of the Spring Festival Gala. It was sung by Cao Xuan who was about to leave. The song has multiple meanings.

"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight, no matter the end of the world or the end of the world..."

The next day, the headline on the front page of the "Beijing Daily" was a screenshot of Cao Xuan's two programs, and the huge headline read——

[12 years of "Chapter" turned over, "Unforgettable Tonight"]

(End of this chapter)
