China Entertainment 1997

Chapter 448 Homecoming and a new English album full of surprises

News about the celebration party that day was flying all over the place, and Huang Shengyi, who had initially deceived many outsiders, received a hard blow.

Before this turmoil, there were many fans and moviegoers of Master Xing, and there were also many supporters of Huang Shengyi.

After all, she was really beautiful in "Kung Fu", with a lot of faces, and a little girl burst into tears, and because she was a "weak" party, it also vaguely brought about the conflict between mainland China and Hong Kong, so she immediately gained got many fans.

How to put it this way, the Internet has just emerged in this era, and netizens are still very naive and do not understand what it means to let the bullets fly for a while.

Moreover, let alone 2005, even in 2022, when short essays are flying all over the place, a group of people are still rushing around without thinking, and then flipping and slapping them in the face.

Huang Shengyi and Young Master Yang are not very sophisticated, but they are "quick", and there are a bunch of media who are setting the pace. Star Master's response was originally slow, and he did not make a statement in time, and he was crazy to set the pace at the beginning.

Of course, when Mr. Xing came to his senses, started to fight back, and even confronted Bo in court, public opinion began to change.

There are still many other insiders, and Tianya's various revelations are now evenly divided. When the lawsuit was decided not long ago, Huang Fang lost the case, and the whole story was basically revealed.

Cao Xuan made a rant, which was enough to help change public opinion in advance.

After all, Cao Xuan is not an ordinary person. He is a world star and an entertainment tycoon. His words carry great weight. In some third-party entertainment news, the outside world is very willing to believe Cao Xuan's words.

Although Cao Xuan didn't say too much, his attitude was still very obvious, so the situation for Huang Shengyi was not easy.

After returning home at night, Cao Xuan received a call from an unknown number. A seemingly bold male voice rang,

"Mr. Cao, I am the Yangtze of Juli, and the Holy Clothes are my sister. It is inappropriate for you to say this. Why don't you give me some face? The money box..."

"Juli Yangzi, don't you know him?"

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Xuan hung up the phone directly, and then blacklisted him, pretending to be cool on him without even looking at who he was.

Juli's strength is not bad, but it is just not bad. Not to mention Young Master Yang, who is only a small shareholder, even his brothers who are in charge of the family have no capital to show off in front of Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan recalled the various tricks of Young Master Yang, and couldn't help but feel the desire to complain.

Although Wanda Wang is a bit pretentious and annoying, at least his parents are really rich. Regardless of those aristocratic families, he is indeed the top in the country among the rich second generation, and he is an only son, the kind who can take over steadily.

Juli was founded by Yang Da's father and brothers. He himself did not participate in the management and has been cashing out his shares.

In the original time and space, there was a big boss who dug his bottom, and the biggest source of income every year was cashing out shares, with annual income of over 100 million.

That is one Deng, or one Lun...

But to ordinary people, this man is definitely a rich man, but he is far from a super rich man.

The most speechless thing is that this super rich man claims to give his daughter-in-law 200 million in pocket money every year, but he opens a small shop and conducts live broadcasts to sell Dzi beads. Even the third-tier stars who let his daughter-in-law endorse them may not accept it. Low end endorsement.

You also asked Huang Shengyi to become a disciple of Lao Zhao and play the role of husband and wife with Song Xiaobao. This is not to say that the Zhao family is not good, but if you do this, what are you planning to do by leaving Master Xing?

The box office figures for Star Master's subsequent films are quite good. If he can stay and play the leading female role and the second leading role, he will still get points.

Besides, no matter how popular Mr. Xing is in Hong Kong, he still has access to some Hong Kong film resources. If he just stuffs himself into it, it’s better than going to Zhao’s class to film TV series.

Although reviewing the game from God's perspective is a bit like hindsight, no matter how you look at it, Huang did play a good hand to pieces.

You know, after "Kung Fu", Huang Shengyi's popularity was astonishing. The mute female character was so pure and stunning that she received a lot of attention. She was at the peak of her debut, not much worse than Liu Tianxian, and was recognized in the industry as a young star of the new generation who can carry the title in the future.

It's a pity that his vision is so bad. There are rumors that Huang is from a scholarly family. He comes from a famous family and he doesn't know how to teach...

After hanging up the phone, Cao Xuan once wondered whether Young Master Yang would provoke him, but in the end there was no movement at all. He guessed that the other party was warned by his family or friends, so he was honest.

After all, although this person is a bit arrogant and flamboyant, he is not stupid enough to give in if he knows he can't afford to offend him.

Cao Xuan still felt a little regretful because of this. In his career as a protagonist, he had not slapped the rich second generation in the face, and he always felt that his life was a little incomplete.

On September 5th, Cao Xuan returned to Zaoshi and participated in the opening ceremony of Starry Republic City and "Railway Guerrillas".

Previously, Cao Xuan was contacted by Zao City in his hometown to attract some investment. After some consideration, Cao Xuan funded the construction of the Republic of China branch base of Fanxing Film and Television City in Zao City to support the development of film and television and cultural tourism industries in his hometown.

One thing to say is that from a business perspective, setting up this film and television city in Zao City may result in losses.

But again, sometimes you can't just calculate financial accounts. Cao Xuan is now worth tens of billions. He can't just think about living in a luxury house and flying on private jets. He also has to find ways to help the elders in his hometown.

Jingdong’s Dong Ge was able to defy everyone’s opinions and locate the customer service center in his hometown of Suzhou.

Boss Cao also has the courage to build a film and television city sub-base in Zao City to develop cultural tourism, enhance influence, and create employment.

As for losing money or not, in Cao Xuan's opinion, it is secondary, and it is not necessarily a loss. If the development is good, and combined with the name of Zaoshi and the Yimeng Old District next door, the big profit is a bit false, but there is still a certain hope of reaching the income and expenditure. balance.

It doesn't matter even if he loses money, the land is provided by the city government for free, and all parties' facilities actively cooperate. Cao Xuan's actual money spent is limited, and it will only cost a few hundred million to complete several phases of the project.

In the past two days, hundreds of billions of Penguin shares in his hands have evaporated, and Cao Xuan didn't even blink, let alone this small amount of money...

Fanxing Republic City is located in Xuexian County, close to Weishan Lake, covering an area of ​​about 10 square kilometers and including several scenic spots.

The scenic spot has now been built, mainly to cooperate with the filming of "Railway Guerrilla", including the interior street scenes of the Republic of China county, the gendarmerie, the Kuomintang base, our Party base, city walls, train stations, arsenals and other commonly used scenes of the Republic of China.

There is also a large-scale simulated Republic of China village and bandit village and other scenes, which can almost contain more than 90% of the guerrilla anti-war drama.

In the future, a large-scale Republic of China Shili Foreign Theater will be built here to further undertake the Republic of China business and cover all the Republic of China dramas in the city.

It is close to Weishan Lake. Although the administrative unit of Weishan Lake belongs to Ji City, Zao City can also strive for some development rights to cooperate with filming and tourism development.

In addition, there are a large number of tourism and cultural tourism projects that will be carried out one after another. Although the emphasis is not as high as that of the main base, Cao Xuan is also devoted to it.

The goal is to create the best cultural tourism project of the Republic of China in southern Shandong, Shandong Province and even the entire north.

On the day of the ceremony, almost all the leadership team of Zao City came, and many leaders from the province also came to cut the ribbon for Fanxing Republic City. Cao Xuan, as the founder, also took the stage to speak, which aroused thunderous applause from countless elders from his hometown in the audience.

As a big star in Zao City, Cao Xuan is very popular in the local area and is regarded as the pride of Zao City.

On the Internet, even Cao Xuan's fans occasionally talk about evidence and objectivity. Only people from Zao City, the vast majority of them just have no brains in the team. If they dare to criticize Cao Xuan, they will be destroyed directly.

The relationship between Zao City and Teng County under its jurisdiction has always been relatively sensitive and ambiguous, somewhat similar to Dao City and Lu Province, or Lian City and Liao Province.

When the two networks met, there were always times when they were friendly and more times when they were at odds, but Cao Xuan was able to break this curse and allow the two sides to briefly unite.

The only other things that can make both parties agree on issues related to their hometown are that others say that vegetable pancakes and spicy chicken are not delicious, and they criticize the rising housing prices...

And Cao Xuan did not disappoint his hometown people. Although he has not been back much in recent years, he has never forgotten to help his hometown.

We promote Zao City’s cultural history and tourist attractions to the outside world, make donations internally to take care of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, build hope primary schools, nursing homes, libraries, and stadiums, donate medical equipment to hometown hospitals, set up scholarships for poor students, and are currently preparing to start a business. Support funds, encourage hometown economies, and more.

But the most important thing is the Starry Republic City, which provides hundreds of jobs and various businesses have settled in, driving the development of nearby villages and towns.

If the film and television city develops later and a large number of film crews enter or attract a large number of tourists, the group performances and related supporting facilities alone will be able to help a lot of people.

The development of Zao City is difficult, and there are almost no large foreign investment companies. Why did Cao Xuan give up the film and television city he chose in Baiyangdian and spend hundreds of millions of real money to build a Republic of China branch here? The old family members know this, so they are naturally more interested. Support and thank Cao Xuan.

It is no exaggeration to say that the status of the surname Cao in Zao City has been slightly higher in the past two years. When I heard the surname Cao, my first reaction was whether he was a relative of Cao Xuan.

The word "Xuan" has also become popular and has become the most popular name for newborns in Zao City. Many people are looking forward to being happy and a golden phoenix will fly out.

It may not show up now, but in a few years, teachers will have a headache seeing several [X Xuan] or [XX Xuan] in each class.

Cao Xuan knew about this from his cousin before, and he was still a little dumbfounded. He didn't know if his family was really grateful to him, or if they wanted to take advantage of him.

After the ceremony, thousands of onlookers still lingered on, and even intensified. Cao Xuan, who originally wanted to send the leader off, had to hide first to prevent the number of onlookers from increasing.

There is no way, Cao Xuan is so popular in his hometown that he has rarely dared to show up in public in his hometown in the past few years, otherwise he would not even think about running away, and he would definitely be surrounded.

With the efforts of the on-site police and film and television city security personnel, it took two hours to persuade the crowd to disperse.

Cao Xuan came forward to thank the police comrades for their help, and was then pulled by the police uncles to take a group photo. Most of these local police officers were also his supporters. If they were not responsible for their duties, they would also be among the onlookers.

Even the leaders couldn't help but joke about Cao Xuan's popularity, and even asked for a few autographed photos before leaving.

After all, although the leaders are not star-chasing, the children at home may not be immune...

As evening approached, Cao Xuan finally got away from the troublesome work and went to visit the crew of "Railway Guerrilla" after get off work.

The drama "Railway Guerrillas" is co-produced by Fanxing, Zaoshi Publicity and Shanying.

Zao Shi actually just put up a name, and Fanxing and Shanying were the main ones who actually participated in the production. Fanxing provided money and land, and Shanying provided people.

Among them, Cao Xuan was the producer, and the director was Kong Sheng, who would become famous in the future.

Previously, Kong Sheng was preparing for Shanying's major project "Enter Guandong", but "Railway Guerrilla" is not weak either.

In order to make the name of Republic City and promote his hometown, Cao Xuan invested more than 25 million in this drama, which is rare among the main theme works.

In addition, Cao Xuan has also reached an agreement with CCTV. After the filming of this drama is completed, it is likely to premiere directly on CCTV 1, and then on Lu Provincial Channel.

The main theme of the big production, premiered on CCTV, is also related to the Republic of China City, a key cultural tourism pilot project in southern Shandong. The province also attaches great importance to it. It learned that Cao Xuan wanted to cooperate with Shanying and appointed capable soldiers.

For the time being, another director Zhang Xinjian will be in charge of "Into the Guandong", while Kong Sheng will be in charge of "Railway Guerrilla". After filming is completed, he will go on to shoot "Into the Guandong".

The director is a well-known director in the future, and the cast of "Railway Guerrilla" is also good.

Cao Xuan didn't have much involvement. Whether it was actors from Fanxing or Wang Jinhua's artists, there weren't many suitable for this TV series, so it was still up to Shanying and the crew to choose, and some of the roles were guest-starred by Cao Xuan's people.

For example, Zhang Zijian, who plays Yan Shuangying, played the role of Li Jiu, a strange hero in this drama.

Cao Xuan's master Li Xuejian also plays a role, the commander of the Lunan base area.

It is worth mentioning that in 1995, there was a movie "Flying Tigers" based on the railway guerrillas, in which Li Xuejian played the role of deputy captain Wang Qiang. This time, after ten years, he participated again, and his level increased several times.

Cao Xuan himself also participated in a guest appearance, but not as a direct guest character in the plot, but as a narration in the memories of future generations, such as——

"Since I was a child, I have heard a story about a railway guerrilla from my grandfather. They were our anti-Japanese heroes in Zao City..."

There are not many narrations, just the beginning of the first episode and the ending of the story, which can be regarded as a memory and tribute to the martyrs in the name of future generations.

In addition, Cao Xuan personally sang the theme song of the TV series "Play My Beloved Tu Pipa".

To be honest, he has sung this song since he was a child, and even the first enlightenment song in primary school music class was this song. He never expected that decades later, he would still have this fate.

"Railway Guerrilla" will be launched in September and is expected to premiere on September 12 next year, which is the 45th anniversary of the founding of Zao City. Even if CCTV cannot broadcast it, it will be broadcast first on the local station of Zao City.

Cao Xuan has nothing to worry about in this drama. The director is a good director and the actors are all veterans. He has read the script. The rhythm and plot are quite good, and there is no part of the "Bicycle Taking Off" plot that is considered a miracle drama.

Boss Cao doesn't have high demands, and he doesn't point to this drama becoming a classic in film history. The quality is average and above average. Don't give him any evil tricks, and he will be very satisfied.

That night, Cao Xuan hosted a banquet for the crew to encourage the cast and crew to take the oath.

Whether he was recording the theme song or the narration, Cao Xuan didn't need to be on-site to accompany the scenes, and he didn't have time to follow the crew all the time. He could only take advantage of this free time to come forward as a producer and producer to encourage.

This is not bad. In the past, Cao Xuan could go around every crew of Fanxing when they started filming. He could be present at similar opening ceremonies or closing banquets, and he could still visit the crew no matter how difficult it was.

Now, except for a few key crews, Cao Xuan has no time to take care of them. Even on individual projects, Cao Xuan almost completely gives up and only looks at some reports and supervisory feedback.

If it weren't for the special circumstances of "Railway Guerrilla", Cao Xuan wouldn't have made a special trip.

At the opening banquet, Cao Xuan paid a lot of attention to Kong Sheng, who will be the number one TV drama director in the future and a core talent of Noon Sunshine. His works include "Parents' Love", "Mountains and Seas", "Battle in Changsha", "Nirvana in Fire" and other classic TV series .

To be honest, Cao Xuan wanted to poach him for more than a day or two, but there was no way, Shan Ying was watching too closely.

Fanxing has developed rapidly in the past two years, and TV stations and companies from all over the world have attracted many talents to invest in it.

Because many of Shanying are fellow Cao Xuan, and Ding Ying, the vice president of film and television who was born in Shanying, there are still many Shanying talents who specifically switched jobs to Fanxing.

Because of this incident, the leader of Shanying was so angry that he called Cao Xuan several times to ask for an explanation. He even called in the leaders of the provincial propaganda office.

If Cao Xuan really digs up Kong Sheng, I'm afraid the person in charge of Shanying will have to fight from Quancheng to Fanxing Building.

Of course, if Kong Sheng is really poached, Cao Xuan will try his best to offend Shan Ying and admit it, but Kong Sheng is more loyal to his old unit and refuses Cao Xuan's recruitment.

Cao Xuan had no choice but to slowly show his goodwill. If Kong Sheng changes jobs one day in the future, Fanxing will be the first to contact him.

Even if Kong Sheng is determined to work alone and want to be his own boss, Fanxing can use his own resources to invest in Noon Sunshine and semi-integrate this TV demon army.

In addition to Kong Sheng, the crew of "Railway Guerrilla" also has an acquaintance, Zhang Yakun, who plays Peng Liang.

This specific drama's No. 1 Cycling God in Zao City played Zhang Liao and Zhang Shun in CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and CCTV's "Water Margin" respectively in the early years.

Cao Xuan had met him at a previous "Water Margin" crew gathering. At this launch banquet, many of the main creators were present. Except for director Kong Sheng, Cao Xuan only paid a toast to Zhang Yakun with tea instead of a wine list.

Zhang Yakun couldn't help feeling very proud while feeling proud.

He and Cao Xuan have never acted opposite each other, but they have witnessed Cao Xuan's youthful appearance back then. Now times have changed, and he is still struggling to make a living in the industry, while Cao Xuan has grown into a big shot that he can only hope to achieve.

Comparing the two, how can we not make people sigh and sigh...

Cao Xuan didn't care what Zhang Yakun thought, and handled the toasts of the main creators skillfully and skillfully. Among them, there was a girl with dimples who played the second female lead Lanni, which made him slightly stunned. He always felt that he looked familiar.

Only when she mentioned that she wanted to ask for an autograph as a birthday gift for her boyfriend, who was a big fan of Cao Xuan, did Cao Xuan finally remember who this girl was.

Shen Teng’s wife!

This reminded Cao Xuan that he didn't know if Happy Twist was established. If it was established, he could invest in it. At any rate, it would be the first-day comedy group with a box office of over 10 billion in the future. It would be a pity not to accept it.

………

After returning from Zaoshi, Cao Xuan didn't have any urgent work for the time being. He exercised with Dongxi Ergong every day and occasionally stared at the script of "Painted Skin".

Then most of my energy is still preparing for my third album——

"Legend"

Translated, it means "Legend" or "Legend". As mentioned before, Cao Xuan likes to play Wang Zhao in the third album. In Chinese, it is the "Bright Stars" that conferred the title of god. In English, Cao Xuan also wants to become a legend in one battle.

In this album, Cao Xuan will use ten classic English songs, detonating all the previous accumulation and completely entering the ranks of world music superstars.

The first song "Skin"

Translated as "Skin" or "Skin", it's not the pain of missing someone like many marketing accounts say. The real source of the song's creation is the Cerbellino incident.

The song is based on a little boy whose skin was severely traumatized by radiation, and both his parents died in the incident.

The meaning of the lyrics is about nostalgia and loneliness, and the determination to still pursue oneself. It is an inspirational song.

This song is very popular abroad. In China, it relied on a lot of Thanos and Marvel edits to make it fully popular.

This song has a special sense of confusion and loneliness, mixed with pain and strength. It sounds particularly touching and has great positive energy.

The second song "Monsters"

It is translated as "Inner Demon", a famous masterpiece of the American band Time Flies. This is actually a love song sung by a man and a woman. It is okay to sing it alone, as long as it is slightly modified.

There is a version in China where Zhou Shen sings very well, and it has a completely different feel from the original version.

It was also popular in China for a while, and it was regarded as annual. One of the most popular songs in English.

This song and the previous "Skin" both test your voice and singing skills, but Cao Xuan is not the same as Wu Xia Amon in the past, so he is very confident to win.

The third song "We Don't Talk Anymore"

The Chinese name is "Only Silence". It is also an extremely popular song both at home and abroad. It has been shortlisted for many awards in the United States and is especially popular among young students.

This is also a love song duet between a man and a woman, a song about a man and a woman who break up but still miss each other.

However, unlike "Monsters", this song will have less artistic conception when sung alone, and Cao Xuan plans to find a female singer to sing it together.

But he hasn't decided yet whether to find a domestic female singer to take her to the international music scene, or to find famous first-line international singers, such as Avril Lavigne, Britney, etc., to add fire to the new album.

The fourth song "Legends Never Die"

The Chinese name is "Legend Will Never Die", the theme song of the 2017 "League of Legends" finals, an explosive rock song.

As a well-known "rock singer", although most of Cao Xuan's songs are lyrical pop songs, he still adds 1 to 2 rock songs to each album to comfort his fans.

Not only does the name of this song collide with the title of Cao Xuan's album, which is a bit of a theme, it is also the theme song prepared by Cao Xuan for "World of Warcraft".

When Box Games introduced domestic agency rights, Blizzard began to invite him to sing songs. This time, taking advantage of the release of the album, Cao Xuan "wrote" this song and changed some lyrics, which is very consistent with "World of Warcraft".

I just feel a little sorry for the fans of "League of Legends", but it doesn't matter. He has sorry for many people, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

The fifth song "What are words"

It first appeared in a song sung by a contestant on the American talent show "American Idol". It was a song written based on the contestant's real experience, with a very touching love story behind it.

A contestant's fiancée was involved in a car accident, but the paralyzed contestant never left her, singing to express her deep love for her lover.

Although the final ending of the story is a bit regrettable, and the two finally broke up, at least at the moment the song was written, the melody and emotion of the song were extremely sincere.

Because of this, this song is so emotional that it became popular all over the world in a short period of time. It is an affectionate confessional love song that you will never tire of listening to.

Of course, nothing in the story has happened now, so there is no way to talk about this song. Cao Xuan liked it very much and couldn't help but start playing with it and regarded it as one of the main songs of the new album.

In addition to the above 5 songs, Cao Xuan has not completely thought about the remaining 5 songs. In addition, they are too watery to write, so I still have some suspense.

The new album "Legend" is expected to be completed in the second half of this year and will be officially released globally shortly after the Spring Festival.

Cao Xuan is still very confident about this album. He has not released a new album for two years. He wants to give the international music world a big surprise...
