Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 36: The First Pot of Gold for a Rising Star in the Music World!

Silent night.

Ye Xuan snuggled into Cao Jun's arms and asked with great interest: "Junjun, aren't you an actor? Why did you suddenly become a singer? The songs you sing are still so popular!"

Cao Jun was a little proud, and asked with a smile: "Have you heard my song?"

Ye Xuan smiled and nodded: "Of course I've heard it, your "Fairy Tale" has become so popular recently, you can hear it everywhere."

Cao Jun said disapprovingly: "Is it as exaggerated as you said? I don't even think I am so popular."

Ye Xuan said solemnly: "I'm not exaggerating, I really heard it everywhere."

Cao Jun replied: "Okay, you say yes, besides "Fairy Tale", have you heard any other songs I sang?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said suspiciously: "No, have you sung other songs? I thought you sang only one song."

Cao Jun: "..."

Perhaps it was because the song "Fairy Tale" was too bright, covering up all the other 8 songs on the album "Fairy Tale".

It may also be that Ye Xuan didn't pay attention to Cao Jun's records at all, but only heard the song "Fairy Tale".

After chatting for a while, Ye Xuan acted like a baby with Cao Jun and asked Cao Jun to sing "Fairy Tale" to him.

Cao Jun refused to sing, but asked instead: "You said it all, people play "Fairy Tale" every day in this street, don't you get tired of listening to it? Do you want me to sing it to you?"

Ye Xuan curled his lips, pretending to be aggrieved, and said: "I'm not tired of listening to it, I just want to hear you sing, how can you sing well on the record?"

Cao Jun smiled and replied, "Do you know how much it will cost to invite me to sing "Fairy Tale"?"

"I don't know," Ye Xuan shook his head, and then asked: "How much?"

Cao Jun said proudly: "At least 3 yuan is required! Sometimes it is more than that?"

Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Is your performance fee so high? I shoot a TV series for two or three days, and I don't earn as much as you sing a song."

Cao Jun asked curiously: "How much money do you get for filming an episode of TV series?"

Ye Xuan didn't hide it from him, and said: "When you come to the mainland, you pay 2 yuan per episode. Before filming on TVB, it was even less than in the mainland."

Cao Jun replied: "Then your 2 episodes is considered very high."

The reason why the remuneration is considered high is not because Cao Jun made groundless rumors.

You know, in 2004 AD, before big capital invaded the entertainment industry, an actor's salary of 2 yuan per episode was considered a very high salary.

As early as the beginning of 2004, a newspaper in Beijing published a list of TV drama artists' salaries. The highest paid male artists were Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo, with 10 yuan per episode, which can be called the ceiling of TV drama actors' salary.

Then Zhang Guoli 8/episode, Zhang Fengyi 6/episode, Tang Guoqiang 6/episode, these are the top actors of the Mesozoic era.

Among the small students, Lu Yapeng dominates with a salary of 8 yuan per episode, Lu Yi 6-8 yuan/episode, Chen Kun 5 yuan/episode, Nie Yuan 4 yuan/episode, Huang Xiaoming 3 yuan/episode, Hu Bing 2.5 3 to [-] per episode.

As for actresses, Zhao Wei stands out among the actresses with a salary of 10 per episode, followed by Siqin Gaowa with 8 per episode, Qin Hailu with 7 per episode, and Zhou Xun with 6-7 per episode. 6/episode, Tranquility 6/episode, Jiang Wenli [-]/episode.

Next is Xu Jinglei’s 5-6/episode, Jiang Qinqin’s 5-4/episode, Dong Jie’s 5-4/episode, Fan Bingbing’s 4/episode, Li Bingbing’s 3/episode, Sun Li’s [-]/episode every episode.

The above are the remuneration data of the current first-tier actors, and Ye Xuan's 2/episode should be regarded as the second-tier actors in the Mainland, close to the first-tier salary level.

However, Cao Jun, a singer who debuted for only a few months, quickly became popular all over the country with his song "Fairy Tale". A first-line male star is also an interesting thing.

Of course, jokes are jokes, Cao Jun still sang a piece of "Fairy Tale" to Ye Xuan at Ye Xuan's persistent request.

After listening to Cao Jun sing "Fairy Tale", Ye Xuan nestled in Cao Jun's arms and fell asleep contentedly.

On May 5, Cao Jun went to Jinling, participated in two performances in a row, and earned 12 yuan tearfully.

July 5, afternoon.

When Cao Jun arrived in Zhengzhou, he was welcomed by the local audience like never before.

Originally, Cao Jun's visit to Zhengzhou this time was only to participate in the commercial activities for the opening of a large shopping mall.

As a result, when Cao Jun arrived at the scene, he found that there were people everywhere, and the inner floors of the mall were completely surrounded. Many female fans with records shouted Cao Jun's name loudly.

"Cao Jun is so handsome!"

"Cao Jun, I love you!"

"..."

After taking the stage, Cao Jun sang "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" and then "Fairy Tale", which attracted a chorus from the audience.

Seeing the audience support him so much, Cao Jun was also very moved, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your support, now I want to bring you the last song today, "Memories of Zhengzhou", I hope you like it."

As soon as the words fell, the audience cheered and shouted endlessly.

Obviously, many fans who came to the scene not only came to listen to "Fairy Tale", but many also came for the song "Memories of Zheng Zhou".

The song "Memories of Zheng Zhou" resonates not only with male fans, but also with female fans.

Since "Memories of Zhengzhou" became popular in the streets and alleys of Zhengzhou, many local young people in Zhengzhou, including elementary and middle school students, know that the singer named Cao Jun who sang "Fairy Tale" once loved a A girl from Zhengzhou.

After a little preparation, Cao Jun began to pluck the strings of the guitar and sing the song "Memories of Zhengzhou".

"I don't know much about Zhengzhou
Been there for love

How many times on the train, passing by this city

one quietly thinks of her
......"

What Cao Jun didn't expect was that just after he sang the first line of the lyrics, the audience sang along with the chorus, without any foreplay, and went directly to Gao Chao.

Among them, there were quite a few reserved male fans who also began to sing loudly like the female fans at the scene, regardless of their reserve.

"All I think about Zheng Zhou is you

Think life is nothing but pain and beauty
All I love about Zhengzhou is you
Love to the end we have nowhere to go
......"

After the song was sung, warm cheers erupted from the audience. Cao Jun said goodbye to everyone, then bowed deeply, and left the stage accompanied by Deng Xiaojian and security guards.

The performance in Zhengzhou was very successful. Cao Jun not only transferred 8 yuan in one go, but also received warm welcome and support from Zhengzhou fans.

That night, "Zhengzhou Evening News" issued a headline on the front page, reporting the news of Cao Jun's performance in Zhengzhou, praising Cao Jun as the brightest new star in the Chinese music scene in 2004.

From the end of April, and throughout May, Cao Jun was either in commercial performances or on the way to commercial performances, and he hardly stopped.

At this time, Cao Xuan's commercial show fee has risen from 10 to [-] to [-] to [-], and some special cases have already reached [-], all thanks to the high popularity of "Fairy Tale".

February 6, 3pm.

Cao Jun, who had been away from the capital for more than a month, finally returned to the capital.

After more than a month of running around, Cao Jun participated in a total of 37 commercials, went to 28 cities, with an average of 6 yuan per session, and a total income of 222 million yuan.

Since the brokerage agreement signed by Cao Jun and Maitian Company is based on a ratio of 7:3, Cao Jun can get 70% of the total income, which is 155 million yuan.

This didn't even count the record income and the income from cell phone ring tones. If these two incomes were added, Cao Jun's total net worth would rise to another level.

However, because the record income and CRBT income have not yet arrived, Cao Jun does not know exactly how much money he can get.

But even so, Cao Jun felt that he already had capital, so he could sit down calmly and have a good talk with Zhang Jizhong.
