China Entertainment 1997

Cao Xuan is personally very pleased with the collective explosion of star artists.

Cao Xuan is becoming more and more willful now.

When filming movies in the past, Cao Xuan's first consideration was the development of the company and his personal career. Although it was important whether he liked it or not, the priority came second.

Now, although Cao Xuan is not ignoring other reasons, his personal preference is increasing, and he has even become the number one pick.

Not to mention that Cao Xuan will retire from the music scene, and both himself and Fanxing will lose a certain amount of exposure and income.

Even though Cao Xuan has basically given up on endorsements, he has almost never done commercial performances, and has only a few concerts. Most singers have not been involved in their main income.

But Cao Xuan's fame figures are here, relying solely on album sales, music copyright sales and some other formal channels, he earns at least tens of millions of RMB per year on average.

In the year when the album was released, in some cases it was even counted in hundreds of millions, and the latter refers to US dollars.

Perhaps for Cao Xuan, this is just "pocket money", but for most singers, it is already an unattainable figure.

Moreover, this is Cao Xuan's "self-abuse of martial arts". If he can work hard to make money like other singers, his income is expected to increase several times and become the highest-paid singer in the world.

But what's the use?

"Pocket money" doubled several times is just "living expenses". Boss Cao doesn't care about this "petty profit".

So much so that a small number of people in the outside world who have some knowledge of Cao Xuan's earning power believe that Cao Xuan's choice to retire from the music scene may be due to a decline in creativity, but it is more because he dislikes the fact that he earns less from singing and does not want to waste energy.

However, these incomes are still considerable for Fanxing, at least not many company artists can reach this level.

Cao Xuan artists will give a small part of their income every year as management fees to Fanxing, usually around 5% to 10%. The amount varies depending on the specific situation, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Regardless of whether he is a boss or not, the key point is that almost all artists at Cao Xuan's level work alone. Being affiliated with Fanxing will be of great benefit to the company in all aspects, not to mention just paying a small management fee or paying a small fee.

In fact, these management fees are given priority to Cao Xuan's team, and the rest is Fanxing's profit.

For Cao Xuan, it's just a matter of left hand and right hand. Although it is a little troublesome, the procedures are more formalized and the team can use it with confidence.

Even though Cao Xuan's artist income is not large, Fanxing gets a small share of it, but he is too profitable to deal with it.

Currently the most profitable person in the entertainment industry is Fan Xiaopang.

In 2012, which was her last year at Fanxing, with the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", she alone won 50+ endorsements, including a dozen high-quality endorsements.

This also allowed Fan Xiaopang to surpass Jay Chou, Wang Fei, Liu Tianwang, Cheng Long and others with an income of 195 million, and continue to top the Forbes list.

This data is already very scary. Many listed companies do not make as much as she does in a year.

But compared with Cao Xuan's artist income, Fan Xiaopang's income is an exaggeration to say that he can't even carry his shoes, but there really isn't much comparison.

Note that many of these artists and stars include side jobs or investments.

Cao Xuan's income is just an artist's income. At most, it includes the dividends converted from box office investments, and more of the income generated around Cao Xuan's personal artist brand.

If we count other side jobs...

Let's put it this way, the cumulative total income of the top 100 owners of China's Forbes Celebrity List in 2012 was 4.69 billion yuan, which is nothing to Cao Xuan.

Well, it seems a bit crazy to say this, I think it means it in a medium way.

When your assets reach a large enough scale and even cover many monopoly businesses, your property and income will snowball and grow bigger and bigger.

Now Cao Xuan can actually understand Jack Ma's "I don't like money, I've never seen money" mentality to a certain extent.

Although it's not that pretentious, when the wealth reaches this level, buying a building feels almost like buying groceries. Money has really become just a number.

Cao Xuan is still serious about making money, and is even calculating some small accounts. More importantly, he wants to retain a secular desire for himself, otherwise he will not use money as money at all, and many things will be boring.

In order to retain his desire, Cao Xuan cared about many benefits but did not value them, but others in Fanxing did not have this confidence.

Even if his artist income is just a management fee, the annual income he brings to Fanxing ranges from tens of millions to tens of millions. This is an income that several first-line artists cannot bring, let alone other hidden benefits. .

But no one else could stop Cao Xuan's decision.

Fortunately, with Fanxing's size, artist management is not the most important pillar of income. Although the impact is not small, it is not a thorn in the side.

This time, the rise of several top artists, although still not as good as Cao Xuan, can at least offset the negative impact to the greatest extent, and support the management of Fanxing artists when Cao Xuan becomes more and more "willful".

In fact, although Fanxing Artist Management Department has been well-known in the entertainment industry in recent years, it has never been able to escape the shadow of the dominance of Cao Xuan's family.

It was not until the rise of Fan Xiaopang and Xianmi in recent years that they became famous. From the perspective of normal company order and development, it would not be a bad thing for Fanxing Artist Management Department to gradually become truly independent.

Others don't know it, but Cao Xuan personally is very happy to see such changes.

As a boss, he doesn't care about meaningless fame and influence. He wants his artists to become more and more popular, and the more popular they are, the more money they make.

………

It was a great experience filming on the set of "Dear". The task was not as heavy as expected. When he had nothing to do, he took Zeng to Shenzhen City to taste delicious food. Sometimes he also took his grandson with him. However, the latter's role was very small and he stayed for two weeks. gone.

Because the male protagonist Tian Wenjun needs to gain weight, Boss Cao can have no dietary restrictions during this period, so his life is very comfortable.

Many people online say that Shenzhen is a food desert, but this is actually wrong.

There is no gourmet food in Shenzhen City because Shenzhen City has limited heritage and does not have many local specialties.

This is normal. This place was still a small fishing village a few decades ago. Even though it has been gradually expanded and surrounded by many places, it is still mainly towns. The accumulation of delicious food is definitely incomparable with many historical and cultural cities.

But it would be too much to say that there is no delicious food in Shenzhen.

As a first-tier city with a developed economy, how could it lack food culture, let alone a famous immigrant city? There is not enough local food, and people from all over the world bring their hometown food here.

Even though it is located in Guangdong Province, there are more Cantonese and southern flavors, but there are still a lot of northern flavors and even many authentic foreign delicacies.

Cao Xuan is a hard-working man. He has been to every place. At least he has left his footprints in the capitals and important cities of many countries, as well as most of the first and second tier cities in the country.

He is also quite greedy. Even when he is on a diet and working out, he will still taste some famous local specialties and stop at them to satisfy his craving and gain insights.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Xuan dare not call him a gourmet, but he is well-informed and has at least eaten locally, so he still has the ability to judge whether it is authentic or not.

It is no exaggeration to say that although there are many people selling dog meat with sheep's heads, there are also many authentic delicacies, and the variety of styles can even surpass those in the capital.

Cao Xuan enjoyed the meal very happily. When he had time, he went to Brother Ma's house to have a meal, meet his eldest nephew, and give him two sets of exercises.

Although the child may not be able to do it, watching him take the gift with a slumped face and reluctantly saying thank you is satisfying enough.

Eating delicious food, playing with the children, and accompanying his wife, this can be regarded as the most comfortable crew that Cao Xuan has been on in the past two years.

My only dissatisfaction is that "Dear" has too many crying scenes.

Not only Cao Xuanduo, but also Zeng Li.

And most of them are big dramas that play a key role in the plot. It is very energy-consuming to prepare emotions, take on the role, and then walk into the scene to shoot.

Anyone who has had the experience of crying for a long time knows that crying is actually a very tiring thing. It will make you depressed, heavy-hearted, and mentally exhausted. You will not be able to muster any energy even after crying.

And in many cases, it is impossible to repeat a scene over and over again, and actors cannot cry mechanically. They have to understand and brew emotions, which is more tiring than crying themselves. If you repeat this many times, it will be even more torturous.

Cao Xuan went to eat delicious food and bully the children, which to some extent was a way to relieve his mood.

When filming such tragic scenes, Cao Xuan used to use the experiential approach, immersing himself wholeheartedly in the role. The performance level has improved, but this is harmful to the body and mind.

When his acting skills gradually matured and he could face most of the scenes with ease, Cao Xuan consciously began to try to avoid this situation and try some methods and techniques.

Unless it is an important movie or a special highlight, he will treat it with caution. At other times, he will consciously start to separate the two states of the film and the outside.

The drama "Dear" is not easy to play, but aside from a few major scenes, Cao Xuan feels that he can handle it with his own strength, and there is no need to spend so much money.

So in the play, he is a poor father who is frantically looking for relatives, but outside the play, he will try his best to restore his normal mood.

Zeng Li is a little better than him. He is a serious associate professor of Chinese opera. He is proficient in film, television and drama performance systems. His acting skills may not be as good as his, but his theoretical knowledge is much more solid than that of Cao Xuan, a wild man like Cao Xuan. The troubles of playing too deep.

However, in order to relieve their mental exhaustion and low mood after the crying scene, the two of them loved to have fun when they had nothing to do.

The above-mentioned method is just one of them. Recently, the two of them have become obsessed with eating melons. To be more precise, watching the liveliness of half of the music world.

After Wang Toutiao became famous for the first time in September, he was immersed in it for two months. In November, he was completely under the spell.

On November 9th, Wang Banbi publicly confessed to the International Chapter at his concert. Known as the "Sound Emperor" by his fans, he performed a wave of "The Sound Emperor Makes Yi".

Although Wang Banbi has a lot of flaws, his status in the music world is still very tough. In the era of decline of the Chinese music market, he managed to carve out his own niche outside the galaxy and became the representative of rock singers at the moment.

Although his status is not at the level of kings and queens, and he does not have the popularity bonus of "The Voice of China" in this time and space, he is still firmly among the first-tier singers.

Not to mention the international chapter. Even though her popularity is not as high as that of Xianmi, her popularity is always the ceiling for Chinese actresses.

The combination of the two people was a big news in the entertainment industry, but it happened that Evergrande won the championship that day.

Although the influence of the Chinese Super League is not at the top in the country, it is still the first Asian champion, which is a historical breakthrough in the field of Chinese football.

In this kind of sports news with a strong color of national honor, if Wang Banbi is arrested, maybe he can still fight and confess his love on the spot, and the gimmick really has to be put aside.

Unwilling to do so, Wang Banbi chose to do it the next day. Confess to International Chapter again on Weibo and promote the new album.

Then the relationship between Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi came to light.

When it comes to celebrity status, it's hard to say between Wang and Wu. One is at his peak, and the other was also a member of a well-known Asian group in the past, and has successfully become popular again in the past two years.

However, Zhang definitely scorns Liu, but it is hard to say how popular he is since he is a celebrity.

As one of the most popular little girls, Liu Shishi has his own capital and a strong international presence, but his popularity and national popularity have always been his weaknesses.

The most important thing is that Wang Zhanglian has been known for a long time. Although everyone is tired of seeing it, it is not new either.

Liu and Wu are first-time actors. Not only are their ages different, but this is the first time that Liu Shishi, a popular young star, has exposed her relationship. Unlike Wang Zhang, who is an old gangster, they have a rich love history, plus they have "Step by Step Jingxin". Naturally, everyone pays more attention to the CP bonus.

Wang Banbi is so angry!

Unwilling to give up, he released the first song of his new album on November 13, claiming it to be the most important song in his creative career, hoping to hit the headlines again.

However, this day he faced a series of blows.

First of all, Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi officially announced their relationship, which directly dominated the morning headlines and achieved a double kill on Wang.

In the afternoon, another well-known gossip blogger released shocking news, photographing Damimi and Cao Bo, the director of "33 Days of Love", eating alone, and even being fed small cakes, which exposed their suspected relationship.

Although Damimi’s team quickly denied the news, it also attracted a lot of attention and discussion and successfully grabbed the headlines in the afternoon.

In the evening, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing celebrated their birthdays together and posted on their birthday Weibo. A small part of the entertainment industry celebrated Boss Cao and President Hu, and grabbed the headlines in the evening.

The scariest thing about this day is not that Wang Banbi was grabbed the headlines three times in one day, but that his news didn't even make it into the top five hot searches.

Wu and Liu officially announced their relationship, Damimi was exposed, Damimi clarified, Cao Xuan’s birthday, and Hu Jing’s birthday.

Forget the headlines, he doesn’t even have a place in the second page.

The scariest thing is that this is not over yet. On November 27, when Wang Banbi was promoting his new album on Weibo again, he came across a certain Wang and a certain Yundi jointly announcing their relationship.

Although there was a lot of confusion later, up to now, the popularity of the two is not low, and their CP is also very strong. Moreover, they are officially announced as girlfriends of the same style on the same day, which makes people even more imaginative.

One of these two people's official announcement can grab a wave of headlines with Wang Banbi, let alone joining forces. Wang will be turned into a scum in an instant.

Wang Banbi: “＊＊＊＊＊＊”

He was particularly aggrieved, but Cao Xuan and the countless people who were eating melons were very happy. No matter how depressed he was, he would instantly become happy.

The filming of "Dear" went smoothly, and Wang was definitely the hero behind the scenes. Boss Cao even thought about sending a text message to thank him, but he felt that it was a bit heart-wrenching and reluctantly gave up.

It’s better to grab more headlines in the future and add a few more strokes of color to Wang Banbi’s legendary resume...
