China Entertainment 1997

If reporters knew that Cao Xuan's goal was to win the Billboard title, they would probably think he was crazy.

Even some reporters who have expectations for Cao Xuan are only optimistic that Cao Xuan can respond, establish a foothold, and take the opportunity to enter Hollywood.

The few people who are familiar with the bulletin board only hope that Cao Xuan can enter the list. As for the championship, they dare not even think about it.

It is not uncommon for Asian singers to hit the U.S. market. Cao Xuan is backed by Warner, and others are also backed by major labels such as EMI and Sony.

But what about grades?

The number of singers who can make it to the Billboard charts can be counted on both hands. The highest record does not exceed the top 20, and may not even be in the top 30.

Cao Xuan is just cheating in the Chinese music scene, but as a Chinese, is it possible that he can cheat in Europe and the United States?

And Cao Xuan would not be stupid enough to say what was in his heart. He has not yet revealed his horoscope. If he loses his temper, he will be in disgrace.

Announcing and preparing to hit the European and American music scene, this press conference also came to an end, and the reporters left reluctantly and excitedly.

It’s not in vain this time, it’s all big news!

After the meeting, Cao Xuan had dinner with several Warner executives. The United States still needs their help, so it would be best to get closer to them.

The EP was released in the United States at the end of February, and Cao Xuan will choose to leave for the United States in March to promote the EP and guest star in "The Matrix 2."

The time in the United States will depend on the response to the EP, but it should not exceed April, because "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" will start filming in May, and Cao Xuan will be in place.

The impact on the European and American music scene is an impact, but Cao Xuan clearly understands where his true fundamentals lie.

In fact, Cao Xuan is not particularly adapted to life abroad. He has been abroad several times. Despite the novel experiences, he still feels an indescribable alienation and strangeness.

Therefore, unless necessary for work, he prefers to be at home, where everything is so familiar and friendly, and his sleep is more solid and sweet than abroad.

In fact, the EP has been basically completed now, and now we are mainly shooting part of the MV.

Cao Xuan thought about it for a long time, and decided to use Chinese actors, namely Hu Jing and Zeng Li, to play the MV for me. I will be the one to praise my own wife.

That being said, in fact, these three MVs all feature Cao Xuan himself. Zeng Li and Hu Jing don't appear much, and even "Natural" only stars him.

It is worth mentioning that the song "Numb" itself is based on a girl, but Cao Xuan thought about it and decided that he is still the protagonist of the story, and it still fits the meaning of the lyrics.

This is not because Cao Xuan is living alone, but because he is just starting out in Europe and the United States and has limited resources. It is best to focus on Cao Xuan alone first.

When he becomes famous, he will naturally not forget his two wives...

………

Cao Xuan was busy working on the MV, and domestic media also published relevant reports on the press conference, which immediately aroused a wave of excitement.

The first is the sky-high signing fee of 100 million.

In this era of crazy pursuit of wealth myths, Cao Xuan has undoubtedly become the most dazzling star among them.

In the 2002 Forbes list of China's richest people, the CITIC Rong family ranked first, with assets of around 8 billion, while the 12th to 15th richest people ranked only around 2 billion.

For just one signing fee, Cao Xuan got nearly 1/20 of the assets of the top 15 companies in China, which is terrifying.

Many people are curious about Cao Xuan's current assets and his approximate ranking on the Forbes list.

Many financial media are tracking and calculating, but Cao Xuan's current assets have gone through a series of reorganizations. It is difficult for outsiders to get accurate data and can only give a rough estimate.

850 million!

This number seems to be a lot, but in fact it is not even half of Cao Xuan's.

The most valuable thing in Cao Xuan's hands now is not the penguins or the stars, but the agency rights for the box game "Legend of Hot Blood" and the equity interests of the two Korean companies behind "Legend of Hot Blood".

Since November last year, "Legend of Hot Blood" has become more and more popular and is already the number one game in major Internet cafes.

Now, the single-day turnover of "Legend of Hot Blood" has exceeded 1 million from 500,000.

Let’s put it this way, in January Box Games’ net profit from dividends alone was close to 20 million, and this number may quadruple again in February.

The money flowing into his pocket made Cao Xuan feel sad but also a little scared.

Money comes too much too quickly, and it is easy to be scared and feel too unreal...

Nowadays, Shanda has begun to kick out distribution agents and is preparing to directly cooperate with Internet cafes on a large scale to establish distribution channels. By then, the revenue of "Legend of Blood" will probably reach a higher level.

As an agent on the surface, Shanda's market value has soared. Now it has easily exceeded 500 million and is heading towards the 1 billion mark.

Even if Shanda blocks it, the box will inevitably get into the eyes of some caring people.

Although they don’t know the share ratio between Boxbox and Shanda, judging from various indications, Boxbox’s share will not be too small, at least more than 30%.

As a result, Box Games was successfully valued at hundreds of millions, which now exceeds the value of Cao Xuan’s current shares in Penguin.

If Box Games discloses its 60% interest in "Legend of Blood", the valuation may soon exceed 1 billion.

As Cao Xuan, who owns 100% of Box Games, his net worth has naturally skyrocketed and all his assets have been made public. Even if he is not in the top ten of the Forbes list, he is not far behind.

But after all, it was not a listed company, and the market value valuation was very fictitious, and Cao Xuan did not take it seriously.

But Cao Xuan finally understands why these people like to play with financial capital. As long as it is linked to the capital market, money no longer counts.

Cao Xuan was dazzled by the hundreds of millions and billions at every turn. Fortunately, he had a golden finger and could see through the essence behind it. Although his mentality fluctuated, he was still stable.

If it were any other lucky person who suddenly became rich, seeing this scene, he would be completely confused and might think that he is the proud one of heaven...

However, Cao Xuan does not "take 850 million seriously", but in the eyes of others.

This man surnamed Cao looks like the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!

Even in the eyes of many people, Cao Xuan is already China's top rich man.

From a rural boy hiding in the basement eating steamed buns, to now becoming China's top rich man and an Asian superstar, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" is ready to write an inspirational story for Cao Xuan.

"Zhiyin" and "Yi Lin" are not even close, but this is not because Cao Xuan is not enough, mainly because of his nationality. If he immigrated, he could have been on it.

In this era of worshiping success and wealth, Cao Xuan may not be called Dad Cao, but he is somewhat of a national husband.

A related website conducted a questionnaire survey to interview female netizens about the man they most want to marry.

Cao Xuan ranked first, first, and first among the choices of more than 60,000 women in the three age groups of 20 to 25, 25 to 30, and 30 to 35 respectively.

The most important reason for choosing him is that he is handsome and rich, and the second reason is that I am his fan/movie fan.

But what is more confusing is that the reason why nearly 5,000 people chose it is: Cao Xuan is too flowery, and conquering him will give you a sense of accomplishment.

Sure enough, men like to make technicians be good, and women also like to make scumbags become lickers...

It can also be concluded from this survey that Cao Xuan is now a top diamond king, and the love rivals of Hu Jing and Zeng Li have expanded from the entertainment industry and Cao Xuan's fan base to all corners of the country.

There are millions, if not tens of millions, of women who miss him all over the country.

There was a lot of pressure in the two palaces, and even Zeng's mother-in-law felt the pressure. After all, there were many women who wanted to be Cao Xuan's wife, and there were also many who wanted to be Cao Xuan's mother-in-law.

Regarding becoming the "national husband", Cao Xuan is very calm and even a little disgusted.

After all, someone like Mr. Wang could become a "national husband". Cao Xuan always felt like he was scolding himself by giving him this title.

If he really wants to shout, he doesn’t want to be a husband, he wants to be a father…

With the continuous exposure of wealth, Cao Xuan is no longer as trembling as he was when he first got rich. He has accumulated enough self-protection capital and the ability to control public opinion, and he will not worry about being hung up on the street.

Of course, he still tried his best to make a fortune quietly while not forgetting charity.

This is his most powerful weapon to offset the negative attention brought about by the surge in assets.

This time, Cao Xuan's net worth skyrocketed and he had a lot of cash on hand, so he immediately made big moves.

He plans to let his Tomorrow Charitable Foundation join forces with the education departments, civil affairs departments and other departments of the four southwestern and northwestern provinces to promote the "May 4th Tomorrow Plan".

It is expected that one hundred high-standard Hope Primary Schools will be built in several provinces within three to five years.

The scale of this plan is very large, and the funds used are likely to be as high as hundreds of millions.

Although it cost a lot of money, Cao Xuan honestly said that the money for "Legend of Hot Blood" was too easy to come by, and it was relatively unreliable. Cao Xuan felt that it was too hot to handle.

Using part of it for charity can not only relieve stress, but most importantly, it can build a golden body.

There are more than one hundred hope primary schools, which are more than one hundred talismans, and at the same time, they are more than one hundred slaps to those who question his assets.

You're awesome, why don't you donate to a school?

Cao Xuan now performs these charitable acts quietly without much publicity. Even for related ceremonies, he seldom attends and rarely accepts relevant interviews. His low profile is eye-catching.

It is precisely because of this low profile that the more people know about Cao Xuan's charity work, the more difficult it is to suppress his admiration for Cao Xuan.

Although the 100 million signing fee this time caused quite a stir, it was overall quite positive. It was mainly about making money from Americans, and no one had anything to say.

In this case, Cao Xuan put aside all the relevant reports he had prepared, and instead focused on the outside world's opinions on his entry into the European and American music circles.

How to put it, leaving aside Cao Xuan's fans and only counting the opinions of passers-by, more than 50% are negative, more than 20% are not optimistic, and the remaining 30% are considered positive reviews.

And these positive comments are generally cautious. There is no way that Chinese singers have not successfully entered the European and American music circles.

Last year, Li Wen came to the United States with two English albums and even performed at the Oscars.

But as a result, this year I honestly returned to China to develop my career. Although I have been labeled as an international star, everyone knows how valuable it is.

Wang Fei, Zhang Tianwang, and Zhang Guorong have all more or less tried to enter the European and American music scene, but their response has been mediocre and they have not achieved substantial success in the true sense.

Although they sometimes go to Europe and the United States to hold concerts, a closer look shows that these European and American concerts are relatively small in scale, and most of the audiences are overseas Chinese.

There may be some songs that make it out of the circle, but it is difficult for singers to transfer the attention brought by the songs to themselves and maintain it stably for a long time.

There are so many examples of failure in front of them, which leads to the public's lack of confidence in Cao Xuan and they do not think that he can break through this shackles. Some even mocked him...
