Chapter 729 Extra Story 10 The Romance of a Man Only——A Separate Page of the Genealogy

Cao Xuan sang a total of three songs, none of his own works, but songs that were popular last year or that he liked.

Zhao Lei's folk song "Rongcheng", Xiao Zhou's single "Confession Balloon", and the theme song "I Want You" of "Donkey Gets Water".

Among them, the latter two are the top ten songs of the year in the 2017 Teana Award, and "Rongcheng" has become popular in the second half of the year, so it has to participate in the selection in 2018. Whether it can win this honor is still hard to say.

Speaking of the Teana Award, this award initiated by Cao Xuan has been held for three times so far.

With the joint support of the government, Cao Xuan, and the mainland music scene, and with the help of resources from all parties, the gold content of the Teana Award has been rising steadily.Although the background is still inferior to the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards, the momentum has far surpassed.

At least in the mainland, the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards are no longer popular.

Although the Tianlai Award has not yet reached the level of determining the status of a singer, it can also be used as an important resume, and it can faintly secure its position as the number one pop music award in the Mainland.

Cao Xuan’s original goal of surpassing the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Award is basically not a big problem, but in the short term, many people still express doubts. After all, the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Award has been established for more than 20 years, and many famous artists have won awards. , this aspect is weak.

At present, the Teana Award still needs to develop steadily, with a few more years of qualifications, continuous spread of influence, and finally achieve full catch-up coverage.

There are only this few people in total, and many people in the previous generations can’t remember them all. They are pitiful compared to those grand ancestral halls in the south, but the Cao family is rich, and the older generation is willing to get these things, so Cao Xuan just let him go.

With a mud-legged background, he couldn’t get enough to eat. Who remembers who his ancestors were, and even after the old man left, the descendants of the Cao family still don’t know whether they escaped from the famine in Hebei Province or Jin Province.

Cao Xuan's family came here with his great-grandfather, that is, his great-grandfather, and the others were cousins ​​of the same grandfather as Cao Xuan.

However, this Cao family ancestral hall has a gorgeous appearance, but the population is very "poor", and it seems very empty to invite all the memorial tablets of the deceased ancestors.

Before Cao Xuan made his fortune, the old Cao family didn’t even have a stele. One was that they had no money, and the other was that there were few people.

Seeing Da Hua in a daze, the other three laughed, but they didn't explain, letting him doubt life.

This is the memorial tablet of the ancestral hall, similar to a genealogy, recording the names of the descendants of each branch of the family, and recording any major events.

Cao Xuan established a good relationship with several responsible old men, and many things can be handled in the name of the family.

So at this time there is an extra layer in the middle, a few old men can help him block many things, Cao Xuan can at most pay some money.

That is, in the third season of the national-level variety show "Star of Tomorrow", which was restarted after many years, it was not easy for Mao to win the championship with his original ability.

Chatting and singing in the yard, and in the afternoon, I went to the cornfield to look at it, which can be regarded as a snack to see the scenery.

The outstanding performance of the album, coupled with the fact that Gu Miaomiao is now the most popular female singer in the Chinese music scene, Wang Fei can't confront her head-on.

The King of Songs and the Queen of Songs may be slightly inferior to the King of Golden Songs in many people's minds, but it is still a major honor.

Dahua had never seen a similar scene before, so he waited and watched curiously, Cao Xuan left him to explain.

When Gu Miaomiao won the Empress Dowager, it was a matter of course.

Therefore, the family tree of the old Cao family starts from Grandpa Cao Xuan’s grandfather, Tianzu, and there is nothing further up. Cao Xuan himself is the sixth generation.

Since Cao Xuan's last album "Cao Xuan" was released at the end of 2014, he did not participate in the 2015 Grammy, but chose to participate in the 2016 Grammy.

That's right, although this guy appeared almost as a variety show guy in the past few years, he didn't forget that he was a singer, and finally broke out in 2016.

Regardless of aspects such as singer popularity, song quality/score, singing skills, musicality, etc., Wang Fei was very good in the current selection. Chen Li may be stronger in some areas, but he does not have an absolute advantage.

However, most of Dahua's songs are mainly in English. The Tian Lai Award has not yet absorbed all English songs. Only Dahua has the opportunity to sing in Chinese.

Xue Zhiqian became famous in one battle!
He was originally a little controversial due to his popularity on the Internet, but he also took advantage of the aftermath of the Teana Award to become a popular first-line singer, and the Teana Award also became more and more popular in the industry because of his high position.

Of course, the Teana Award itself is becoming more and more powerful, and it is more or less related to several winners.

So it's no wonder that some people questioned it. If singers such as Li Ronghao and Zhang Bichen were selected for the Teana Award, the popularity would definitely be greatly reduced.

This number is not only the highest in Asia, but also only one step away from Stevie Wanda, the male singer who has won the most Grammys (25 + Lifetime Achievement Awards).

The selection of judges for the Teana Award, the award mechanism is as fair and impartial as possible. I dare not say that it is pure and flawless. Any award cannot do this, but insider manipulation is resolutely eliminated.

This award was even more controversial than Xue Zhiqian's title at the time. The former's performance was very explosive, but it was the first time he became popular in the music scene after many years, so many people had doubts.

"I have one at home, similar to this one, and my father would go to worship it every year and festival."

At that time, some people also jokingly said that although Cao Xuan retired, his two female apprentices.One is the most popular female singer in the United States, and the other is the most popular female singer in China.

Leaving aside the queen of the first song, the singer Chen Yixun can be regarded as one of the leading male singers in the Chinese pop music scene after Cao Xuan retired, with a top popularity status.

Later, when I had money, the social environment changed, and it didn't matter whether there were fewer people or not, so I started to toss about.

But to say that Wang Fei does not deserve to win the award, it is impossible to say.

And the Queen of the Tian Lai Song was won by Gu Miaomiao.

For example, many relatives come to Cao Xuan to buy a house, get married, go to school, find a job, etc., which makes people tiresome.

Except for Su Yunying, the queen of the first Tian Lai Song, who is a dark horse with a strong color and low popularity, the rest of the winners are all famous music queens or popular singers.

Dahua was keenly aware of the key point, and just as he was asking about Cao Xuan's itching, he showed a reserved smile: "I have a single page in our family tree to record my life."

Cao Xuan told him: "The temptation that most Chinese men can't resist is called Guangzong Yaozu. If it can be recorded in the genealogy, it will definitely be a life without regrets."

Cao Xuan is generally quite satisfied with the Teana Award, especially the key creation of the Teana Song King + Top Ten of the Year, which is already quite important in the pop music scene.

"Actor", "Ugly", "Beginner", "What Do You Want From Me", "Gentleman" and other songs took turns to dominate the charts, becoming the most popular singer in 2016~2017, not even one of them.

As for the selection results, there were various reasons, and many things were beyond the control of Cao Xuan alone.

The king of singers is Xiao Zhou, the song "Confession Balloon" is so popular, coupled with his own qualifications and popularity, Cao Xuan can't come out, who can compete with him.

While worshiping the ancestors, it also means that the future generations will flourish.

In the past two years, Deng Ziqi, Zhang Bichen and others, who have been so popular in the past two years, have no temper at all. They can vaguely find a little bit of the helplessness and fear that the Chinese-speaking heroes were dominated by Cao Xuan back then.

Compared with a small family tree, this kind of memorial tablet placed in the ancestral hall is more grand and grand, and it can also improve the cohesion of the family.

Even if there is no friendship, because of her reputation, if there is no obvious difference, they are more willing to vote for her.

This kind of ancestral hall has its disadvantages, but it also has its advantages.

The second Golden Melody King is Xue Zhiqian.

It's normal psychology, if you change an ordinary person as a judge, a Chen Li who has just made a name for himself, and a queen who has been famous for many years, most of them will vote for Wang Fei.

Such a super boss has never won the Teana Award. Is this award so awesome?

The latest time Cao Xuan went back to his hometown, the ancestral hall was inside and out, and the archway was very well repaired. All the family tablets were offered, and the oldest of the two relatives who had no work was invited as a "temple blessing".

As for the third Teana Awards held just last year, the two winners became even more popular.

This year, many talent shows on major platforms have been approved, and it may not be because they were stimulated by Mao Buyi's popularity.

The latter released a new album at the beginning of last year. Although there is no super hit masterpiece, many songs are above the standard. The whole album has achieved excellent results, and even achieved certain results in Asia. It is also the best overall performance in 2017 Chinese album.

Since then, Cao Xuan has won a total of 24 Grammy trophies.

Interestingly, shortly after Gu Miaomiao won the award, her senior sister Taylor Swift released her sixth solo album "reputation", which became popular all over the world.

This kind of thing is hard to avoid, and can only be restricted by various voting weights or rules.

With Cao Xuan's honorary achievements, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award is a certainty.

Dahua grew up abroad, and he is still very interested in this culture. He kept asking him, and he was especially curious about the genealogy.

The album was a notable success in streaming, and Taylor's top-selling hit was softened, and she made a big splash on the Billboard Albums Chart.

Wang Fei's status and popularity can't be said, but the works were not particularly popular back then. Although they were quite popular, they were not out of the circle, at least not as good as Chen Li, the queen singer of the year.

For example, Wang Fei won the award. Her qualifications and status are here. She has debuted for many years and has countless connections. Many judges are old with her, so it is inevitable that they will be biased.

It is also because of this that Xue Zhiqian won the title of Tian Lai Singer King strongly, and has three songs under his banner, which were among the top ten of the second Tian Lai Awards.

Some people have speculated whether the Teana Award is intended to create momentum, but the award of the King of Songs and Queens of the Teana is indeed something to say, and it is not a forced inside story.

The double stars shine in the eastern and western hemispheres, the disciples of the Cao Clan have achieved success again and again, and there is someone to succeed the Great Demon King!
The awards of Zhou and Gu have also made the influence of the Tianlai Award even more out of the circle.

Mr. He and Huang Sanshi next to him also deeply agreed that this is a kind of romance that only belongs to men.

And the Queen of Tianlai Song in the world was won by Wang Fei with "You Wait for Me at the End".

It can be said to be an upset, and it can also be said that Wang Fei has taken advantage of his fame and status, but there is absolutely no shady scene.

"Is the Tianlai Award very powerful?"

The reason is that Cao Xuan's branch came from famine, and there are not many people at all, so far there are only more than 30 households.

If you have a limited budget, you can stand directly on the mountain. If you have a little more budget, you can build a hut, which is similar to an ancestral hall, as it is in front of you. It is not a big tile house, located at the foot of the mountain, and it is enough to shelter from wind and rain.

The latter, in particular, has now become an important reliance for major music media to measure the gold content of songs in the music scene.

The works of the year were also very impressive. Not only did he win the Tianlai Singer, but he also won the Golden Melody Singer not long after, which is almost uncontroversial.

Dahua has not been in China for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the Tianlai Award, Cao Xuan intends to tease him.

What's more important is to build a luxurious and exquisite ancestral hall, and ask the tribe to take care of it specially, and often offer sacrifices.

The flaws are not hidden, and Cao Xuan generally approves of these selection results. Just now, he specially encouraged Dahua, hoping that he will have the opportunity to compete for the Teana Award.

As I said before, the attention of the awards depends on who wins the award. The Tianlai Award is today, and these popular big names have contributed a lot.

At that time, Cao Xuan, who had already retired, finally won three trophies: [Best Pop Male Singer], [Best Pop Performance Album] and [Best Album].

"What about Mr. Cao, is there any difference in your genealogy?"

Although someone picked up two masterpieces, the extremely talented Mao Buyi was not buried.

Not only won the championship with a strong force, but also signed a contract with Fanxing, and was shortlisted for the King of Singers at the Tian Lai Awards, and won the "Best Newcomer". One of his masterpieces also became the top ten of the year, and Cao Xuan personally praised him as a "rare creative genius".

It is worth mentioning that there is also a pure newcomer among the nominees for this year's King of Singers.

As long as he saves worry and effort, and won't embarrass his parents, Cao Xuan is willing to pay the money.

Cao Xuan was noncommittal about this. He himself complained a lot in the past, so no matter what the reason was, he would not slap himself.

So there is no suspense about this award at all, and Li Ronghao, who has continued to be strong, has run with him again.

And Li Ronghao, his biggest opponent back then, was also a newly popular singer. The controversy caused by this was more about the dissatisfaction among fans.

"Didn't the teacher take it?"

"It's amazing. My biggest regret is that I didn't win the Teana Award."

It can be said that Mao Buyi went from a vegan intern as a male nurse to a highly anticipated superstar in the pop music world, and staged a good show of "becoming famous overnight".

It's just that I'm still young, so I have to give way to other seniors first. From everyone's point of view, it will be a matter of time before I win the award.

On the way back, I came across a small ancestral hall at the foot of the mountain. A group of people fired firecrackers and erected a stone tablet in the middle of the ancestral hall, with a large number of names engraved on it from top to bottom.

If Cao Xuan does not come back, the chances of tying Wanda are slim, but the gap can still be narrowed.

Cao Xuan couldn't say otherwise, Lu Province still puts more emphasis on these things, especially when the family's children and grandchildren have a good life, they will all contribute money to engrave the stele.

As far as the current situation is concerned, that day is not far away.

Especially in the early years, the situation in the rural society like this in the countryside was complicated, and there were so many people that they would not be bullied. It was a kind of deterrence to brighten up one's own children.

This time Dahua was really surprised. As Cao Xuan's fanboy, his honor to Cao Xuan is very precious.

Now Teacher He and Huang Sanshi looked at Cao Xuan enviously, and the smile on Boss Cao's face became brighter.

"My deeds of singing at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 were fortunate to be recorded in our local local chronicles, which is also a single page."

Huang Sanshi and Teacher He: "..."

The fist is hard! ! !
