China Entertainment 1997

Seoul Olympic Stadium

Zhu Jiang took the group to the VIP area, which was not far from the stage and had an excellent view. The most important thing was that it was separated from the ordinary audience and was relatively spacious.

In fact, there is a more spacious place for concerts, which is the VIP area of ​​the venue. Generally, it depends on the infrastructure of the specific venue. Some venues are arranged, and some are not.

The Seoul Olympic Stadium does have a VIP area, and there is even a lounge at the back, but it is located in the middle of the stands, a bit far from the stage.

This location is fine for watching football or a sports match, but it's a bit of a disadvantage for watching concerts.

The eldest princess and the others wanted to watch the performance more, so they chose the VIP area which was closer to the stage. The environment was "slightly worse" but the location was better.

After finding a seat and sitting down, the noisy and noisy atmosphere around him did not frighten Cao Xian, but instead aroused Cao Xian's childishness. He looked around, losing a bit of his previous calmness and well-behavedness.

She didn't run around when she saw him, and the eldest princess also followed him, handling some chores with her mobile phone from time to time.

Assistant Cui, on the other hand, had a rare vacation and even attended a concert. Putting aside his reserve as a working man, he took out his mobile phone and took a few photos while avoiding Cao Xian and the others, and said happily.

"This is the VIP area of ​​the concert. Post these to Cyworld and you will definitely get more likes."

Cyworld was once the most popular social platform in South Korea, with a user base of up to one-third of South Korea’s population, similar to domestic blogs and QQ personal spaces.

Later, this platform also entered the country and created [Saiwo.com], but it was not well-known.

In fact, in 2015, Cyworld had begun to decline, and Twitter, Facebook and ins became the most popular social platforms on the Korean Internet.

Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, it was a website that was founded in the 1990s. After more than ten years of accumulation, Cyworld still has many users.

Just like in China, WeChat Moments has gradually become the mainstream of personal social diaries, but many people still insist on talking in QQ space.

Assistant Cui is a nostalgic person, so her first choice was to use Cyworld. Of course, she later posted the photos on Twitter, Twitter and Instagram.

Although it’s a bit troublesome, how can I get tired of showing off...

Even Cao Xian was led by him and took a Samsung mobile phone to take pictures of the stage and stands.

As a kid, he has already mastered smartphones and even registered his own social media account.

However, Cao Xian used to play more on Instagram. After meeting Cao Xuan, he gradually focused on Twitter because his father told him that this was his own business.

In addition to Twitter, Cao Xian also registered a Weibo account. He also wanted to register an account for Bilibili, which has begun to rise rapidly, but failed to answer the question.

At this time, the threshold for answering questions at Station B was much higher than later, at least it was not something that someone like him could handle with a half-knowledge of Chinese.

Cao Xuan was busy with the concert and had no time to help him, so Zhu Jiang took action in person.

But when faced with questions such as "Who is the voice actor of Hiroshi Kamiya?" and "What is the CPU model of the IBM 5100?", this hardened man who also experienced a hail of bullets back then showed a rare look of confusion and helplessness on his face.

Cao Xian did not bother others anymore. He was even aroused to be competitive. Even if he learned that there were answers on the Internet, he would not memorize them. He wasted on station B and insisted on solving each question by himself. He was watching a concert just now. On the way, I did not forget to fight against the small TV.

While everyone was taking photos and waiting, the concert finally started!

Countless beams of light swayed and flickered, and fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed in the sky. The remaining sparks quickly fell back to the field. When everyone raised their hands in surprise, the sparks disappeared and turned into petals and streamers floating down.

"It's magic!"

"What a beautiful flower rain."

"Phew, you scared me."

"..."

Many people have watched Cao Xuan's previous concert videos, or browsed some clips, and many of the magic clips are quite popular.

Many people even expected that the domestic concert would have some magic elements. Unexpectedly, there was a performance as soon as it started.

Fireworks and sparks falling all over the sky turned into ribbons of petals.

It seems like a simple little magic trick, but you can only feel the charm of this magic when you are there and see the sparks falling on your head at a very fast speed. When you are scared out of your wits and suddenly see them turning into ribbons of petals, you can feel the charm of this magic.

Many great magic shows don’t necessarily have to be flashy or eye-catching.

If the performance can surprise the audience, even if the performance is successful, if it can further arouse everyone's emotions and sink into the performance, then it will be a very high-level performance.

Mars turning into petals and ribbons is actually a typical way to arouse the audience's emotions and turn everyone from fright to surprise. Although it is simple, the effect is good.

Cao Xian also grabbed a handful of flower petals, but found that most of them were plastic, with only one or two real flowers.

Zhu Jiang next to him smiled and explained: "Real flowers are easy to damage and affect environmental hygiene, so 95% of them are fake flowers."

"It's not just for hygiene."

As a successful business person, the eldest princess quickly discovered other factors and added: "The cost of this kind of fake flowers is extremely low, and real flowers are at least several times or even dozens of times more expensive. Having more fake flowers than real flowers can cause huge damage." Control costs.”

The petals may seem inconspicuous, but in fact the price is not low, especially the fresh and beautiful petals.

Not to mention that this is South Korea, a small country with few landowners. Even the spicy cabbage, the national delicacy, is imported. Watermelons can be sold at high prices. Local flowers are limited in stock, so prices are naturally higher.

It's just an opening act. If all fresh petals are used, the expenditure will be too high.

Although Cao Xuan does not intend to make money from concerts, he does not intend to work in vain. He should spend where he should and save where he should.

"I know that artificial flowers can be collected and reused afterwards, which saves money. If they are used up, they may be sold."

Cao Xian raised his hand and added that maybe he had been influenced by his mother since he was a child. Even at a young age, he still talks about business in a clear and logical way.

The two of them did not speak in Korean, but in English and Chinese. Zhu Jiang next to him could roughly understand them and couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue.

The truth is not complicated and many adults can easily see it, but children are another story.

Recalling his son's mind when he was Cao Xian's age, Zhu Jiang even doubted for a time, could the child tell the difference between real and fake flowers?

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiang, who had not given his son a loving touch for a long time, felt that his hands were a little itchy...

………

During the magic show, Cao Xuan also slowly rose from the stage with Hua Yu, sat in front of a piano, slightly tilted his head towards the microphone set up on the piano, and said hello in Korean.

"Welcome to the concert, good evening everyone."

The venue, which was originally a bit messy, suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. Tens of thousands of spectators waved their hands and fluorescent boards and other support tools, and responded to Cao Xuan, and the sound shook the sky.

Cao Xian was also affected by the atmosphere around him. He was short and stood on tiptoe on his seat, waving and shouting desperately towards the stage.

"Daddy, daddy."

The eldest princess did not stop him, because Cao Xuan shouted in Chinese, and the Korean word for father is pronounced "Abaji", which is an honorific title, probably similar to the Chinese word for father, and the common spoken language is more "Aba".

At this concert venue, where most of the people were Koreans, it was not easy to hear Cao Xian's shouts. Even if he heard them, he might not realize what he was shouting.

However, the eldest princess made some miscalculations. There happened to be a group of spectators from China not far away, and they clearly heard Cao Xian's shouts.

Two of the girls glanced at the eldest princess wearing a mask strangely, and then continued to wave their light sticks, but the names they called Cao Xuan changed.

"husband!"

"Ah ah ah, hubby, look at me."

There was also a Chinese woman who looked like a young woman, who was also holding a child younger than Cao Xian and making fun of her.

"Hurry up and call daddy. That's daddy on the stage."

The child looked at her biological father who was smiling bitterly next to her in confusion, wondering why she had another father. Her mother patted him.

"Shout, don't look at him, this is dad, the one on the stage is dad."

Zhu Jiang, who thought his identity was revealed and had a false alarm: "..."

The eldest princess who knows a little bit of Chinese: "..."

Cao Xuan on the stage didn't know that a group of people below began to recognize his husband and even his father. After the opening interaction, he started playing the piano.

"All Of Me"

One of the title songs of Cao Xuan's fifth English album "Ring down the curtain" is one of the few songs with pure piano accompaniment. At the same time, this song also won the honor of being the number one single on the Billboard.

Although it only won the championship for one week, the reason was largely due to the fierce competition within the album.

This song has a soothing melody, melancholy and ethereal. It is not particularly famous among Cao Xuan's championship singles, but it is a song that Cao Xuan personally likes.

This song has appeared in up to half of the hundreds of previous concerts, making it one of the songs Cao Xuan sings most frequently.

Every time Cao Xuan performs this song, it is neither as exciting as a rock song that makes the whole audience burst into laughter, nor is there the emotional response that many of Cao Xuan's masterpieces can arouse from the audience, and the whole audience sings together.

Cao Xuan was the only one, playing and singing quietly, while the entire audience watched and listened silently, enjoying the tranquility and beauty brought by the music.

Personally speaking, Cao Xuan prefers and even enjoys this kind of performance.

There is nothing too difficult about performing quietly, and it can be regarded as a kind of laziness and relaxation to a certain extent.

Of course, there is actually a more relaxed and lazy way of singing.

About ten minutes later, after two songs, Cao Xuan came up with a masterpiece——

"The Nights"

This song is definitely not Cao Xuan's best song, nor is it even one of his most famous masterpieces, but it is the most effective song in Cao Xuan's concerts. Every time he sings it, it will trigger a chorus.

“My father told me when I was just a child

When I was a little kid, my father said to me

These are the nights that never die

These nights will never fade away

My father told me

father said to me

These are the nights that never die

These nights will never fade away

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

…”

Often at the climax of the chorus, Cao Xuan doesn't need to sing at all. He hands the microphone down and the audience sings along without him even needing guidance. Those who can't remember the lyrics just hum along.

This is the most harmonious and atmospheric moment of the concert, and it is also the time when Cao Xuan is lazy and relaxed.

Cao Xuan has already mastered the art of interacting with fans in an orderly manner, even one by one, which not only satisfies everyone's needs for listening to music, but also everyone's singing needs.

Although many people made fun of the disadvantage of buying tickets to sing by yourself.

I've said it several times before, this seems like a loss, but if you don't let them sing, they won't be willing.

A concert is more about atmosphere and interaction. Tens of thousands of people sing their favorite songs with their favorite singers and idols. For many people, it is a higher enjoyment than watching a performance.

Cao Xuan understood these principles, and so did most of the audience at the concert.

But for Cao Xian, who was participating in this kind of concert for the first time, seeing the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of people singing along with his father gave him a shock that he could not describe, and he couldn't help but tremble a little. .

He was both excited and surprised, and also felt a heartfelt pride in Cao Xuan, as well as a bit of yearning and longing for a man.

Even Cao Xuan did not expect that his glorious image on the stage would leave an indelible impression on Cao Xian's heart.

Not only did she admire his father even more, she even had the idea of ​​learning music and becoming a singer in the future.

"I want to be a world star like my dad!"

Cao Xuan, who returned home after the concert, couldn't help laughing when he heard his son talking about his admiration and his new ideal, but he didn't take it seriously.

Being a singer is not that easy. It looks glamorous, but in fact the hard work and efforts behind it are no less than those in other industries. And because of the particularity of the industry, the competition is more difficult.

Of course, if you succeed in this industry, the benefits you will receive are far from those in other industries, and may even be so great that people can ignore the effort required and the cruel competitive environment.

For ordinary people, as long as they have certain talents, this may not be a shortcut to success.

But then again, Cao Xian is not an ordinary person after all.

Cao Xuan is still an artist. On the one hand, he started from this and has his own related industry. He has many connections involved in it. It is not easy to quit just by quitting. On the other hand, he also has interest and feelings for this industry and can't let it go. Hands on.

Moreover, he has achieved great success, and his achievements and golden body can make him almost invincible.

As for Cao Xian, it's different. With his family background here, there is no need to come to this industry to get ahead.

Not to mention the hardships and hardships, the family is not short of money, and the pressure of public opinion in this industry is too great.

Even though his biological father is protecting him, no one in the industry touches him, and the audience and fans are not used to him.

There are not just one or two scolded second-generation stars and so-called princes/princesses who are scolded. If they are not strong enough, Cao Xuan can't stop them.

As a giant in the entertainment industry, Cao Xuan would rather Cao Xian become a playboy, or even a playboy, than see him become a waste resource person that everyone calls for beating.

This will be a great shame for Cao Xuan, who has created countless brilliant achievements in the entertainment industry, and his whole life will be ruined.

Therefore, Cao Xuan said that he would not interfere with his children's hobbies and industry choices, but in fact he was not willing for them to come to the entertainment industry, especially artists.

Isn't it good to be a domineering CEO? There is no need to hang out in the entertainment industry where dragons and snakes are mixed.

Cao Xian is still young now, and he will understand on a whim when he grows up, so Cao Xuan did not dampen his enthusiasm. He also encouraged him a few words and agreed to teach him singing later...
