Chapter 94 The first brother in the mainland pop music scene? (for the first order)

After "A Dream" was overtaken one after another, Naying basically officially withdrew from the war.

Now in front of Cao Xuan, only Zhang Huimei's "Can I Hug You".

At this time, the top five songs of Cao Xuan have occupied four seats, completely surrounding "Can I Hold You".

Although "Can I Hold You" is still No. [-], under the siege of four songs, the on-demand rate has dropped, and the No. [-] position is already in jeopardy.

Cao Xuan is not careless, the lion is fighting the rabbit, and he still needs all his strength, not to mention Zhang Huimei, the most popular queen in Taiwan.

Since mid-July, Cao Xuan has been participating in some TV variety shows to promote "The Stars".

With Cao Xuan's current popularity, it is not difficult to appear on TV for a long time. Instead, many programs want to sway his popularity and invite him to his own programs.

Jingchengtai, Modutai, Zhejiang Province, Lu Province, Hui Province, Suzhou Province, Hunan Province, and even Warner are handling the formalities for Cao Xuan, and may go to Taiwan Province in the future.

Today, the per capita economic level of Taiwan Province is still stronger than that of the mainland, and the entertainment industry is developed, so regardless of the number of people, it is the main market for Chinese singers' albums.

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, half of their album sales are sold in Taiwan Province.

Of course, with the rise of the mainland market in the past two years, relying on the huge population advantage, it has surpassed Taiwan Province, so the main battlefield of a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers is slowly moving north.

They went north, but Cao Xuan wanted to go south.

The mainland market is now Cao Xuan's stronghold. His albums don't have to worry about selling at all. Instead, the Taiwanese market has a lot of potential to be tapped.

In this era when Hong Kong and Taiwan are popular, Cao Xuan is one of the few singers who counterattacked the Taiwan market from the mainland.

Last year's "Starry Night" sold more than 30 yuan in Taiwan Province. Although it is far less than Ren Xianqi's million-dollar sales, it also reached the top ten album sales in Taiwan Province last year.

If Cao Xuan goes to the deity business this year, coupled with Warner's promotional resources in Taiwan Province, "The Stars" will have an impact of 50+.

This is almost on the top of the total sales of several provinces in the Mainland.

Not to mention, conquering the Taiwanese market will greatly improve Cao Xuan's status in the music world under the current trend of the entertainment industry that respects Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At that time, Cao Xuan is the first brother of the pop music scene in the mainland.

.........

At the end of July, Cao Xuan returned to the capital from Hui Province and participated in an internal meeting of the crew of "Youth Bao Qingtian".

Chen Yong finally collected the remaining funds of 1500 million.

Of course, this 1500 million yuan, many of which are only on the books. For example, Cao Xuan invested 300 million yuan, only 150 million yuan was reserved for production, and the rest was his salary.

There are many more "investments" like this.

According to Cao Xuan's account of the crew, the rental and management fees of the Foshan Nanhai Film and Television Base for the filming scene were also converted into investment like Cao Xuan, and the Nanhai Film and Television Base also invested an additional 100 million.

In terms of issuance, I don't know how Chen Yong fooled him, and he also chose to convert it into one of the investments.

But even so, the production cost of "Youth Bao Qingtian" is still very considerable. In the current TV drama market, it can also be called a big production.

In this meeting, the first is to determine the shares of each company, and to formally divide the interests, and the other is the attribution of several roles.

The male protagonist Bao Zheng, needless to say, Cao Xuan has already made an internal decision, and even Chen Yong can pull so much investment, and Cao Xuan is the male protagonist's credit.

The second female, Pang Feiyan, was covered by Cao Xuan, an investor and male, who returned to Hu Jing and passed smoothly.

The second male, Gong Sun Ce, still chose Ren Quan. On the one hand, he is somewhat famous and has a suitable image.

Moreover, Ren Quan has a wide network of businessmen, not only Cao Xuan and him are friends, but Chen Yong also knows him, and the salary is suitable, so naturally the second male is decided.

But the heroine is a little bit different.

Chen Yong wants to find a Hong Kong and Taiwan artist with a bigger wrist to increase his popularity. There is also an investor who wants to praise his "good friend".

But Cao Xuan is not used to him at all, my "good friend" is the second female, why should you be the first female.

When the dispute couldn't go down, Ren Quan pulled the strings, Wang Jinghua entered the scene, and recommended Li Bingbing as the heroine.

At this time, Li Bingbing still had some fame, but it was not enough to convince others to give her the heroine.

But soon Wang Jinhua came up with an extra pound that investors couldn't refuse.

Chen Daoming participated in the role of the Eight Sages.

At this time, although Chen Daoming has not yet reached his peak, he won two Feitian Vision Emperors and one Golden Eagle Vision Emperor with "Besieged City" and "The Last Emperor". Last year, "My 1919" let him win the Golden Rooster Movie Emperor , is a veritable mainland top actor.

This level of actor, the leading role of TV series is not easy to invite, let alone let him play a supporting role.

That is to say, Wang Jinghua, an agent, has this face with a few bigwigs in the Beijing circle, and he will immediately give you a change when he opens his mouth.

Of course, you have to spend your life to spend money, but it's not that you can't come, but "Youth Bao Qingtian" doesn't have this budget.

Now there is such an opportunity to invite Chen Daoming to play a supporting role at a normal salary, everyone is very excited.

With Cao Xuan's popularity and Chen Daoming's popularity, the two joined forces, plus Ren Quan and Li Bingbing, a pair of well-known new-generation actors, and Bao Heizi, a big IP, "Youth Bao Qingtian" must not be robbed by TV stations. to buy.

Including Cao Xuan, everyone invests in TV dramas to make money. Joining Chen Daoming can be beneficial to the future price and ratings of "Youth Bao Qingtian".

In comparison, who the heroine gives is a small problem.

In addition, "Youth Bao Qingtian" also has a starring Zhan Zhao, who found child star Shi Xiaolong, this is nothing to say, unanimously passed.

At this stage, there are some child stars who are as famous as Shi Xiaolong, but he is the only one who is famous and can film and play.

Xie Miao can also, but he is a little old, and he is not as cute as Shi Xiaolong, who is only in his early ten years.

As for the other supporting roles, most of them are actors with good quality and low price, and there are a few people who go in there occasionally. As long as the conditions are decent, everyone will turn a blind eye.

After this meeting, the crew of "Youth Bao Qingtian" was officially formed.

The director and producer are now going to the preparatory work. It is expected to start in mid-to-late November or early December, while Chen Yong will go to major TV stations to brush his face to pave the way for selling the drama.

Cao Xuan recharged his energy and continued to promote the new album while waiting for the crew to start.

After all, the better the performance of the new album, the greater the fame of Cao Xuan, the more benefits to the crew of "Youth Bao Qingtian".

Investors like Chen Yong now wish that Cao Xuan would kill all the kings and queens, and even go overseas, punching Jackson, kicking Madonna, and reaching the top of the international superstar list.

At that time, "Youth Bao Qingtian" must not be sold like crazy, and they dared to open the astronomical price of 500 million per episode.

However, Cao Xuan was not as fierce as they thought. On the contrary, he had just finished dealing with "Youth Bao Qingtian", and two new rivals appeared on the leaderboard...
