Chapter 674

"Sparkling Grammys, Cao Xuan won five awards"

"Breaking Records, No. [-] Pop Male Singer in Grammy History"

"All on a stand, this is the King of Pop! "

"The Biggest Winner [Best Single] [Best Record] [Best Production] All won by Cao Xuan"

"The well-deserved master of the gods, Cao Xuan cut the three major categories of Grammys in a row"

"Five times, 4 songs and 3 albums, Grammy's favorite man"

"Ouyang Jing, Chinese-American Hip-Hop Genius & Luckiest Grammy Winner"

"Grammy Four Grand Slams, the third person in history"

"21 Grammys, Grammy's most dazzling Chinese superstars"

Of course he was happy to win the grand slam, but Cao Xuan began to be pretentious again [Best Newcomer] won too early, and failed to win the four general categories in one go.

This also made Cao Xuan the singer with the most awards in these three awards.

You know, with Fanxing's current size, Cao Xuan thinks that he can take on a theme section. This potential is very high.

As a result, most of the audience paid more attention to these two aspects, while Feng Xiaogang's choreography and other types of programs did not attract as much attention as expected.

In one fell swoop, he won the three major categories with the highest gold content, and became the biggest winner of this year's Grammy.

Then again, the Spring Festival Gala is the Spring Festival Gala after all, and his language programs and star attributes are the two most important auras.

Frankly speaking, Feng Xiaogang still has two talents. Although this year's Spring Festival Gala was as amazing as the outside world expected, the level is not bad.

Another one is Yao Beina, who has just been crowned the singer of "I Am a Singer", also joined the Spring Festival Gala and sang a theme song.

The first is the old man, the veteran American pop king Christopher Cross, who won the Grammy Four in a single session in 1980.

So since last year, little Edgar, who has already made a fortune, intends to transfer Warner Music Group.

The second place is Adele, who was just gathered two years ago. She is more loved by the Grammys than Cao Xuan. She won the "Best Newcomer" for the first time at the Grammys, and won the other awards at the same time the second time. Three majors, direct slam.

Not to mention the new boss, even if Warner Music Group belongs to him, he still won't beat himself up.

Looking at the Empress Donggong who was being teased and laughing, Cao Xuan deliberately said something more.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, Cao Xuan didn't want to talk about work, so he continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala after simply mentioning it.

Cao Xuan doesn't know much about the inside story, but he believes it is the latter, because he worked hard to pass the review for "New World", and he may have been the art director of the Spring Festival Gala for a year. To a certain extent, he is still Feng Xiaogang's senior.

Cao Xuan, who received only two nominations from the previous seven, successfully broke out in the final stage.

But that's good too, at least Zhao Xiaodao has a masterpiece of music that belongs to him, so he can do business and participate in variety shows.

The most worth mentioning is that the short-sleeved trousers Huang Bo was wearing was a high-end Hermès dress, but this guy looked like a Lanxiang mechanic.

Last year, Little Black Fatty participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. Although the final effect was mediocre, he was able to connect with CCTV. This time, he successfully promoted his apprentice Xiao Yueyue to the top position.

In the past few years, the shares in his hands are actually running out, only a small part remains, and there is still a connection.

But as far as Cao Xuan is concerned, he has always been thinking about "Best Production".

The pillar of Cai Ming is more about the addition of coffee and seniority. In the post-Zhao Benshan era, those who are really qualified to be called the pillars of the Spring Festival Gala are the group of Happy Twist with Shen Teng as the core.

This is also the only time that Cao Xuan won all the three Grammy categories in the same session.

This face is not ordinary. Since the beginning of 2013, after Lao Zhao announced that he would stop acting in sketches and concentrate on filming his own TV series, Feng Xiaogang dragged him over, even as a behind-the-scenes person, it was extremely rare.

The new boss is Ryan Blavatnik, who is to some extent half of Cao Xuan's colleague, who runs an investment institution, whose businesses include chemistry, media, communications, and real estate.

The latter turned into a venomous old lady, and when all the old faces of the Spring Festival Gala retired, she succeeded in taking the position, and even became the mainstay of the language category of the Spring Festival Gala in the following years.

The performance of the former brothers and sisters of the same school can be regarded as a highlight of the behind-the-scenes tidbits.

And he is cooperating with Cai Ming, the only few old faces left in the Spring Festival Gala.

He also asked Cao Xuan for his opinion, to see if Boss Cao had any intention of becoming the boss, but Cao Xuan was about to retire, and he didn't like this "small dish", so he declined.

On New Year's Eve, the family ate dumplings made by themselves and watched the Spring Festival Gala as usual.

Another theory is that "1942" has a sensitive subject matter and is not easy to pass the trial. Feng Xiaogang made a lot of connections, and directing the Spring Festival Gala was one of the prices he paid for it.

After the Spring Festival Gala, Cao Xuan was very honest, he didn't pay New Year's greetings everywhere, except to go to his master, and then he took his daughter-in-law to Yunnan Province to visit his father-in-law.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is a bit special. The chief director is not the CCTV-born variety show/event director of previous years, but Feng Xiaogang.

Cao Xuan could see that Feng Xiaogang had his own ideas and paid more attention to the overall effect of the party, rather than relying on a certain star or team.

In fact, with her current popularity, it doesn't matter whether she participates in the Spring Festival Gala or not.

As a result, Ouyang Jing has become the envy of countless singers. Not only has his fame increased greatly, but he also has a dazzling honor, completely becoming a representative of Chinese hip-hop singers.

Cao Xuan also cherishes this kind of time when the family spends the New Year together more and more. He likes this kind of reunion and laughter every moment.

Under Fan Xing's continuous supervision, Zhao Xiaodao's line work has not been missed, but vocal music can only be said to have been trained, not good at it.

But in fact, in the eyes of the industry and knowledgeable fans, these two records of Cao Xuan are the most difficult achievements to surpass.

Personally, Little Edgar and Cao Xuan can be regarded as friends, and they have some affection for Warner. After all, this is one of the few careers he has accomplished. Even if he leaves, he hopes that both will be smooth sailing.

In fact, there is another song "Invisible Wings" that I want to pass on to him, but Da Mimi's level is limited, and I am a little uncertain about this song, so I don't sing it very easily.

In the past two years, Hao Jian has already made a name for himself. This year's "Help or Not", combined with current affairs and hot spots, has brought a new level of influence.

Cao Xuan didn't pay attention to the turmoil on the domestic Internet for the time being. After winning the award, he only briefly attended a banquet held by Warner Music Group.

Although Cao Xuan has won many Grammy awards, they have always been relatively homogeneous, and many of them have won the same award multiple times.

Yu Gong, one is the pillar of the table, and the other is the new boss. His old boss has the responsibility of introducing and matching the two parties.

However, the Grammy awarded Cao Xuan all the three major categories except "Best Newcomer" in one go, which still made many people unexpected.

The new boss had a very kind personality, and he didn't put on airs for Cao Xuan, and of course he couldn't put it on. In terms of assets, the two couldn't decide who was richer.

One is Huang Bo, who returned to his old profession and sang "My Demands Are Not High". The song is quite magical, but the lyrics are a bit sci-fi.

Feng leads Ma, the lineup for this year's Spring Festival Gala is pretty good.

Whether Cao Xuan intends to meddle in the changes of Warner Music Group.

This is actually not beyond everyone's expectations. After all, the performance of last year's song "See You Again" and the album "Ring down the curtain" can be said to be the best and most popular single and album, and can win awards Also within reason.

As a result, he came to do the opposite, and even made certain restrictions and cuts on the number of language programs, focusing on quality rather than quantity, and paying more attention to other types of programs.

Ashamed to say, Cao Xuan married his two daughters, but usually when he sees his mother-in-law and father-in-law, most of them wait for them to visit or take them home before they come to Beijing. Relatives and friends have not seen many.

At least in Hu Jing's impression, she didn't seem to have heard of a few people or teams that could receive such a high evaluation from Cao Xuan.

In the past few years, Cao Xuan has not been very concerned about Warner. In fact, there are still great changes within the company.

There are not many language programs this year, but the quality is not bad. Compared with the singing and dancing programs, the quality is good, but there are not many star halos.

As the president of Fanxing, although Hu Jing won't intervene in the following matters, she should pay attention to what should be paid attention to, and naturally give more support to those who have potential.

Based on what Cao Xuan knew about Xiao Hei Fatty, he strongly suspected that the latter deliberately pushed Xiao Yueyue up, in addition to praising his disciples, he probably also intended to fight against his lovers.

But generally speaking, Lao Feng did not lose his name. Even compared with the following years, this year's competition is considered a rare boutique, and there are many impressive works.

And Zeng Li next to him, when he heard this, he also looked at Ma Li who was pretending to be an old lady on TV.

Old Zhao may also have to sell face because of favors and interactions with other parties. Cao Xuan has no such concerns. Since he quit, he should retreat completely, and not participate in any behind-the-scenes, and be a down-to-earth audience.

Cao Xuan also became the third singer in the history of the Grammys to collect all four Grand Slam categories.

From the logic of preparing for a normal party, this is a correct idea.

But it is estimated that because she is from Hebei Province, she has a bit of a complex about going to the Spring Festival Gala. In addition, Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi have both attended, so Zhao Xiaodao, who is determined to catch up with the two, naturally has something to learn.

Although the acquisition is still not completely clear, but judging from the meaning, it is basically not a big problem, it is just a matter of price, and I believe it will be completely settled in a short time.

Guo Caijie doesn't look like a mediocre actor, but she is a serious singer. She sang the theme song of "Love Apartment", and her lines skills even beat the big honey in "Tiny Times".

"This girl seems to be from a Chinese opera. I seem to have seen it before. It's rare for a girl to act in comedy, and she can do it well."

The next ranking is [Best Single] and [Best Pop Album], which have won 4 times respectively, and [Best Album] has won 3 times.

At this banquet, little Edgar also specially arranged for the two to get to know each other.

Selfishly speaking, he hoped that little Edgar would stay, after all, the two cooperated well.

In fact, Feng Xiaogang also approached Cao Xuan, but Cao Xuan refused, because he was too busy and didn't want to go to the Spring Festival Gala to get mixed up.

It's a pity that Cao Xuan had already made up his mind, and when faced with the new boss's temptation, he just let him go.

Hu Jing was a little surprised. In her impression, Happy Twist was always a sketch, a drama, or an online comedy, and it had little to do with movies. Now that Cao Xuan invested in Happy Twist, she couldn't help being surprised.

My daughter has already gone to elementary school, and my son has also started to go to kindergarten. No matter how well the parents take care of them, there are still a few strands of gray hair on the sideburns. I am not confused by my age, and Hu Jing and Zeng Li are also "mature mistresses".

Putting aside the grievances and grievances between the brothers of the same school, the biggest highlight of today's Spring Festival Gala language programs is actually the happy twist.

It can be regarded as a small regret for Cao Xuan, but it has been made up for now, allowing Cao Xuan to finally gather all the four categories of Grammy, and get his wish.

Especially [Best Single] and [Best Album], the gold content is extraordinary, but the outside world pays more attention to [Best Pop Male Singer], which overwhelms the limelight.

And Xiao Yueyue's former brother Cao Jin became the only cross talk this year.

It was the Spring Festival again, and Cao Xuan felt the passage of time more and more.

"Movie?"

This is also understandable. After all, Cao Xuan is considered the most valuable existence in Warner Music Group. It is no exaggeration to say that if Cao Xuan did not announce his retirement, the number of acquisitions would increase by a few percentage points.

This is also the only award in the four major categories of Grammys that he has not won. He has been nominated before, but has been missed.

Cao Xuan didn't stay in the United States for long, because the New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival were two days away, and he had to return to China for the New Year.

It's really a little greedy...

Cao Xuan refused to accept the offer, so little Edgar contacted a Russian-American rich man, and the two sides are in contact with each other for negotiation.

Especially the stage layout and choreography effects, the level of the big director is not to be overshadowed, it definitely surpasses the previous ones, and even greatly influenced the director's thinking in the next few years.

.........

Although this "pillar" is a bit strong in the outside world...

"It might be the next Junru Wu or Dandan Song."

And kept this record for 40 years in one breath, and it was not copied until 2020 by the post-00 female singer Billie Eilish.

Little Edgar lived a stable life for a few years, but he couldn't restrain his ambition again. Warner Music Group was no longer enough to support his ambition.

"Before I saw Happy Twist, they came up with a movie script and asked us to attract investment. You go back and find someone to study and study, and get this project down."

The new boss was also very winking and kept talking to the point, but it could be seen that he hoped that Cao Xuan would give up and retire.

"..."

When Cao Xuan received the award, he was specially dragged up. Although everyone knew that Cao Xuan was the biggest contributor, he did have his share of the trophy.

Zhang Guoli presided over it, and also invited Lao Zhao as the assistant director and art consultant to guide the language programs throughout.

In last year's Forbes Rich List, this man was ranked 55th, with an asset of around US$160 billion, a rich man in absolute terms.

Looking at Zhao Xiaodao's confident and high-spirited expression, Cao Xuan wondered if he had inadvertently brought out another tradition.

Not only the Chinese Internet, but also Asia, Europe and the United States have given a lot of praise. After all, this resume can be regarded as the ceiling of the music scene, and it cannot be overstated.

Cao Xuan smiled, although the development of Ma Li, the "goddess of comedy", is not satisfactory, but in terms of comedic actresses, she is still a leader in the industry, and there is little comparison between the same generation and the new generation.

Unlike Da Mimi, who can only sing Hu Jing's "Love's Offering" with the cheek, President Hu hardly performs now, so he simply gave this song to her.

In order to shine in the Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Xiaodao even temporarily gave up a female lead play, and asked a teacher for two months of special music and vocal training, and finally successfully participated in the Spring Festival Gala.

Hu Jing, Fan Xiaopang, Liu Tianxian, Da Mimi, Zhao Xiaodao, plus a non-staffed Empress Nishinomiya, it's all like this...

For example, [Best Pop Male Singer] has won 5 awards. It can be said that as long as he is nominated for the Grammy, this award will never be left behind.

The last two are Zhao Xiaodao, who became popular last year. He sang "Answer" with Yang Sanerang.

At the beginning you "betrayed" me and got the chance to go to the Spring Festival Gala, but now that Xiaoyue doesn't leave him, he still has the ability to let him go to the Spring Festival Gala.

The 21 golden Grammy trophies have added a bit of brilliance to Cao Xuan's singing career, and have also kept the Chinese Internet admiring and complimenting.

Cao Xuan didn't need it himself, it would be good to save some incense for his disciples.

However, many of his song copyrights are still affiliated with Warner, and he also has Mars Records and his apprentice Taylor. He still needs Warner's channels, so Cao Xuan still has a little Warner's shares, and he is willing to build a good relationship with the new boss.

But it doesn't matter if he's gone, after all, he retired with only his last album and concert tour left, and whether Warner changes to a new boss has little effect on him.

If any hip-hop show pops up in the future, if he is chosen as a judge, although he may not be the core, at least he won't be praised for his stinky feet.

As soon as Cao Xuan said this, Hu Jing couldn't help but pay more attention to Happy Twist, a team that she didn't pay much attention to originally.

"Well, you should pay more attention. These people are talented people. Ning Hao's efficiency is too slow. The comedy theme section of Fanxingfuture may have to fall on these people."

Even the outside world saw the cooperation between "Lunar New Year King" and "Sketch King", and guessed that this Spring Festival Gala will be more comedic.

It is not easy to take this opportunity!
It's very easy to just participate in the show. Her biggest competitor Guo Caijie, except for being a Taiwanese artist, has no one comparable to Zhao Xiaodao. With the energy of the stars, he can easily squeeze out the other party.
But how to perform well requires some effort.

There are two theories in the market. One is that Feng was a little greedy seeing the scenery of the National Teacher's Olympic Games, so he came up with the idea of ​​the Spring Festival Gala.

Just like Fan Xing's male artist who wants to stand out, he has to play "Armor Warrior" first. After Fan Xing Xiaohua became famous, he went to the Spring Festival Gala to show his face.

Besides Cao Xuan, Ouyang Jing also followed Xiao Huo.

Although with the support of Cao Xuan as a singer in the past few years, Warner's business is not bad, but due to the general environment, the ceiling is still not high.

Huang Bo sang as he walked, and even drank from a water bottle during the interlude, a feat that Cao Xuan had never done before.

On January 1, news of Cao Xuan's fifth Grammy campaign once again occupied the domestic entertainment pages.

Although there is a reason for the inconvenience of status, it is still relatively rude and inappropriate after all.

In the past, because of various concerns, he had to play it safe, but now that Cao Xuan has become a general trend, even the children are older, and there are no so many taboos.

After all, the ugly son-in-law will come to the door one day. Besides, the child grows up so big that it is not unreasonable to have not gone to the place where the mother was born and raised.

After learning from the pain, it happened that Zeng’s mother went to England to see her sister-in-law. Zeng Li and her daughter went there. Cao Xuan decided to go to Yunnan Province to visit relatives with the Empress Donggong and her son this year, and then to Hubei Province next year...
