China Entertainment 1997

Su Dongpo's calligraphy caused a climax in the live broadcast room, and the barrage flooded the screen. Most of them asked for the price, and some people were more concerned about the story behind the calligraphy.

Cao Xuan started the live broadcast just to chat and relieve his boredom. The conversation was very interesting, so he told the story of this copybook.

“I saw this painting at a collector’s house in Japan in 2013 or 2014. I heard that it was collected in the UK.

At that time, when I saw the calligraphy written by Su Dongpo, I thought about taking down the words, but they wouldn't sell them. After all, I want to keep good things for myself.

As soon as I couldn't get it, I made friends with the collector. From then on, almost every time I went to Japan, I would visit his home whenever I could.

People also understand what I mean. Just go back and forth, and you will be more or less embarrassed and soft-hearted.

Later, I inquired about a Japanese collection that he liked better, and bought it as a gift for him. Since we had a good relationship with him, he relaxed..."

Speaking of this, Cao Xuan also joked: "Actually, I learned this from a friend. He spent five or six years polishing off a Zhang Daqian painting from me."

The barrage quickly asked who it was, but Cao Xuan did not answer directly, but turned the camera to see a painting on the wall.

"Four Horses" by Xu Beihong!

It's just a replica, and its market price is only a few hundred thousand. Cao Xuan usually uses it as a model to practice painting.

The words are not clear, but the meaning is self-explanatory. After all, Penguin’s little brother is also a relatively well-known collector of calligraphy and painting in the industry. He is also often seen in some calligraphy and painting auctions.

Based on the friendship between the two and his identity, Boss Cao's "blackmail" painting can be justified.

Ordinary people would not have the face and courage...

Cao Xuan didn't talk too much about Brother Xiao Ma. He had a different personality. He didn't mind exposing some privacy, but others might not be willing to do so. It didn't matter if he said it casually or made fun of it, but he could stop at it.

Following the topic, Cao Xuan was more willing to talk about his collecting career.

“My collecting is probably a hobby I developed after I turned 30. I did it before, but it was just for fun, and then it became more formal.

The collection generally consists of calligraphy and painting, jades, and miscellaneous items. Porcelain is also collected, but it is relatively small. It is something that suits your taste, no matter how high or low it is.

I also paid tuition fees, and even paid a lot. The most serious one was when someone fooled me with a painting by Fu Baoshi, and I almost lost seven places. Later, I had someone check everything I received. "

Speaking of this, Boss Cao was still a little heartbroken.

He didn't care about money, but he hated being deceived, so he later spent twice as much money to get a handle on it, and just got the person who had set up the game to trick him.

Based on the other party's age and sentence, even if he can still come out, he will basically have to go to a nursing home...

The audience in the live broadcast room loved to see the big boss being defeated, but Cao Xuan himself did not want to talk about the past of being cheated.

Since I don't want to talk about paying tuition, many people are curious about whether Cao Xuan has made any mistakes. When this topic is mentioned, Boss Cao's face becomes even more serious.

"No, not once."

With his face, no one in the country would recognize him. He saw someone who had been taken advantage of, so he raised the price once or twice to be kind, and he even dared to call 80,000 yuan for a stone that originally cost 8 yuan.

Pick up leaks?

Whatever Cao Xuan is eyeing, the seller will be more vigilant, and others will also pay more attention. Even if there is a leak, it can be plugged.

After talking about his sad experience, Cao Xuan also showed off a little: "Although I haven't picked it up, my wife has picked it up. There is a teapot bought for about 6,000. The market price should be around 40,000. Although it is not much, it is At any rate, it’s money back.”

The hero of course is the Empress of the West Palace. She received it from colleagues and relatives, and also helped Boss Cao wash away the shame of Zero.

The family arranged a banquet for several days for this purpose, and the little money they earned from picking up the missing items was probably not enough to buy the ingredients. But the key was not money, but face, which proved that Lao Cao's family was not just good at throwing money.

Afterwards, the Empress of the East Palace wanted to follow suit and paid more than 200,000 yuan in compensation before being honest...

………

He said he was thirsty, so Cao Xuan went to the tea room to pour a pot of water and chatted while drinking.

The questions on the barrage were all kinds and they were answered very quickly. Cao Xuan didn't finish a single thing, and hundreds of questions were thrown out. He didn't mind it and just talked about the ones he was interested in.

The chat became even more enjoyable when the door rang and Cao Li opened the door and came in: "Dad, grandma called..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Xuan put down his phone and turned to look at his confused daughter.

"Have you finished the online class?"

"get out of class is over, grandma wants you to eat."

"I understand, dad is live broadcasting here, please stay out of the camera."

"Live broadcast, can I watch it."

Cao Li was very curious. Cao Xuan asked her to stand aside to make sure the camera couldn't record it, and then motioned her to look at the screen: "Dad, chat with netizens."

Cao Li glanced around and saw barrage flying across the screen like crazy. She spent a long time and could only see a small part clearly.

[Thief Cao, don’t block it]

[Wife, look at me, look at me]

[Ah ah ah, the sound is so crisp]

[Please, please show me your face]

[The real girl is out, and hot searches are about to explode again]

[Princess Fanxing, rush for me]

[It’s hopeless. When I heard this voice, I knew that I was destined to depend on her for the rest of my life]

[The voice sounds so familiar, ah, it turns out to be my wife]

[Father-in-law, please help us, the child can be named Cao]

[Lao Deng, is it safe at the door where my ghost fire stops?]

[Disgusting, bah, I didn’t even look at you, are you running after people? Father-in-law, I’m different, I really like your daughter]

【……】

Cao Xuan looked at his face with black lines, these shameless people dared to miss his daughter, but Cao Li looked at it with a smile.

"They're having so much fun."

"It's not fun to beat me up. Don't come into my study during this period. If anything happens, Yangyang can call me."

Amid the barrage of "He's anxious" in the live broadcast room, Cao Xuan pushed his daughter out of the room, then went to the restaurant to get some food and continued the live broadcast.

A bad face is a bad face, but the atmosphere is really harmonious and relaxed. Boss Cao feels more or less addicted to the video.

When faced with a group of people in the live broadcast room who asked about gifts or wanting to be their son-in-law, Boss Cao ignored them, ate his lunch slowly, and forcibly changed the topic.

"what's for lunch?"

"This is made by my aunt at home, boiled shrimp, beef, chicken salad and pumpkin pie."

"My mom makes this, Chinese crispy vegetable taco, which translates to jujube vegetable pancake."

After being naughty for a while, Cao Xuan almost finished his meal.

Whether from the perspective of fitness or health care, Cao Xuan believes in the principle of eating small and frequent meals. The main meal is not large, and he only eats some fruits and meals in the morning, afternoon and midnight.

Put the plates and cutlery directly at the door. A nanny will come to collect them soon, and Cao Xuan returns to his seat.

"I'm tired of chatting. I see a lot of people want to listen to music. Let's sing some songs to relieve our appetite."

The originally peaceful live broadcast room became agitated again, and the screen refresh rate was no less than when Cao Li appeared just now.

After retiring from the music scene in 2015, Cao Xuan can count on one hand the number of times he has appeared to sing.

There were a lot of people in the live broadcast room just now who wanted to listen to the song, but Cao Xuan ignored them. Everyone was a little disappointed, thinking that Cao Xuan was unwilling, but they didn't expect that they turned around and got such a big surprise.

"I'm not very good at voting or anything like that. If you have any songs you want to listen to, just type them out. I'll see which one gets more attention and can sing, so I'll sing that one."

As soon as these words came out, the barrage in the live broadcast room quickly scrolled.

The one that appears the most is not Cao Xuan’s classic masterpiece "The Wind Rises" or "The Ordinary Road", but "Learning to Meow" which became popular on Douyin two years ago.

Cao Xuan: "..."

This group of people who are watching the excitement don't mind the trouble. Fortunately, he didn't vote, otherwise he would have been disconnected due to poor signal...

"Since everyone wants to listen to "Blooming Flowers Along the Road", I will sing this song. I haven't sung it for a long time. I don't sing well. Please forgive me."

Regardless of the protests in the live broadcast room, Cao Xuan forcibly selected the song and turned on the spare phone next to him. Because there was no music software, he also downloaded a QQ star music for accompaniment.

QQ Star Music can directly perform karaoke online, so there is an accompaniment version. Although it is not as good as the band, it is enough for live broadcast.

"The sunset on the sea is like a young painting

Spread it in the sky and wait for the seagulls to take it away

The distant sails are beaten by the wind and waves

No matter how painful the dream is, I will not be afraid

…”

When the prelude came into play, Cao Xuan tapped the time gently, his voice clear and clear with a somewhat mature charm.

Although he hasn't sang for a long time and speaks modestly, he is still the all-powerful king of the world whenever he opens his mouth.

The live broadcast room also became quiet, and most of the live broadcast room viewers listened quietly. Perhaps due to the influence of the filter, they did not feel that Cao Xuan's singing skills had declined at all, and even seemed to become more mellow and long as time passed.

"...

None of them spoke

I hope the wishes I have made... will bear fruit along the way...

…”

After not speaking for a long time, Cao Xuan came into his own. He was singing and dubbing vigorously, but the accompaniment was cut off at the climax of the chorus, disrupting the rhythm.

After all, it was not a performance. Cao Xuan stopped temporarily, thinking that his phone was out of battery. When he took it over and took a look, he realized that the song was charged 2 yuan a song.

"Do I need to be paid if I sing my own songs?"

Cao Xuan was stunned. He smiled helplessly, lowered his head and fiddled with his phone: "Everyone, wait for me. I'll log in to my account and unlock the permissions."

When they saw this scene in the live broadcast room, the audience almost laughed like crazy.

[Penguin Star: I don’t care who you are, even if Cao Xuan himself comes, he still has to pay]

[You have to spend money to sing your own songs, CNKI Behavior]

[Cao Xuan: What broken software? Oh, it turns out it’s from my own family, so it’s okay]

[The person in charge of Penguin Star came out to apologize]

[Puyi has to buy tickets when he comes home, what’s wrong with you, Cao Xuan, paying for singing (dog head)]

[The author of the online article complained that the books we wrote cost money to read on the website]

【……】

Cao Xuan made the account and glanced at the barrage: "I will go back and report back to Penguin Star, cancel the payment for my songs, and release some of them for free to non-members to save everyone trouble."

The copyright ownership of the songs has always been in Cao Xuan's hands. Penguin Star only uses it temporarily, and the money earned is divided proportionally.

Cao Xuan has been ignored in these years because his songs are popular enough, which can be regarded as giving Penguin Star some profit channels and supporting the platform payment and VIP system.

Now that Penguin Star has developed, there is no shortage of money. Cao Xuan does not need to rely on these to make money, so why not give benefits to fans.

"Come on, I stopped singing just now. I'll sing it again."

Cao Xuan sang "Flowers Along the Road" again, and then sang two more of his own songs, intending to try other songs.

"I'm not doing this for commercial use, so there shouldn't be any copyright issues involved, right?"

Cao Xuan was a little unsure. Singing by singers and singing by ordinary people are two different things. The former is relatively sensitive, and commercial use is absolutely prohibited without permission from the copyright owner.

The pop music world has been involved in countless lawsuits over this issue. Nowadays, platforms dominate and copyright is king.

Many times, sometimes when you sing in front of someone, a lawyer’s letter comes from behind.

When Cao Xuan sang the songs in "Longing for Life", the program team also contacted the copyright afterward. If they didn't agree, they had to delete them.

Since it was his first live broadcast, Cao Xuan didn't know if there would be any commercial copyright issues if he sang someone else's song during the live broadcast, so he simply sent an inquiry to Douyin and his legal advisor.

When Cao Xuan sang another song "Thousands of Miles Away", he got an accurate reply, which was not a big problem.

Even if there is a problem, Douyin and legal follow-up will handle it for him, and at worst, he will be compensated for the copyright royalties.

"What's the hottest song right now?"

Cao Xuan pulled through the ranking list: ""Youth", "Your Answer", "Birds and Cicadas", and "Blue and White Porcelain", is this list from 2020 or 2015?"

Looking at several familiar songs, Cao Xuan was a little speechless, but it was understandable. The Chinese music scene has not been very prosperous in recent years. Coupled with the spread of short videos, old songs become popular every year.

In addition to Cao Xuan's songs, there are also Yang Qianhua's "Kiss Everywhere", Kit Chan's "Like You", Tanya Tanya's "Red High Heels", Xiao Zhou's "Qili Xiang" and "Daoxiang" are all on the ranking list.

Cao Xuan even saw "Dusk" at the end of the list, which was a song he released in 1998.

He really didn't know what to say.

These classic songs are indeed good enough and have withstood the test of time. They are still loved by old and new fans today, but at the same time, it is not because the current new songs are not good enough, so everyone can only listen to the old songs.

"Chinese pop music has a long way to go."

Although Cao Tianxia has retired, he still misses the music scene. Seeing this scene, he can't help but feel a little disappointed.

But this is not something he can reverse alone.

Not only the Chinese music scene, but the entire world music scene is in decline. The opportunities and impacts brought by Internet streaming media will have to wait for a few more years to judge whether the impact on popular music is good or bad.

After calming down, Cao Xuan picked a few songs.

Some can sing, and some have not, but there are music scores and lyrics, so for a singer of his level, it is not difficult to learn now.

The first two songs were sung well. One of them, "A Bridge of Fate" by a certain king, hit high notes continuously, which made King Cao happy to sing and also made the audience in the live broadcast room hooked.

That is to say, Cao Xuan stopped the gifts in the live broadcast room, otherwise he would have spent a million dollars in gifts at least.

After playing a few songs, Cao Xuan picked a song that he had never heard of before but was highly recommended by the audience in the live broadcast room. It was also very popular last year, "The Sorrow of Leaving People".

"Spring has gone and my hair has turned white, and I have become lonely and thoughtful.

Cut off a strand of sorrow to cover your eyes and make people blind

Today people have broken intestines, today each side is broken

…”

When he first picked up the music score, Cao Xuan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He stopped after singing a few words.

"Isn't this the tune of "Fireworks Easily Cold"!? It also has a bit of the melody of "Red Dust Inn"."

"Fireworks Easily Cold" is Cao Xuan's Chinese-style masterpiece, and "Red Dust Inn" was also "written" by him for Xiao Zhou.

He finally understood why this song was highly recommended in the live broadcast room, and his relationship met his peers.

Cao Xuan also remembered. Isn't this the famous tailor's song? When he copied "Fireworks Easily Cold", he mentioned that after so many years, he had almost forgotten about this person, but today Li Gui met him. Li Gui.

However, no one knows about Cao Tianwang, Li Gui. This tailor brother is scolded by everyone, and even takes the blame to Cao Xuan...
