December 5th, evening.

The total sales of Cao Jun's second album "Golden Era" officially exceeded 2 million.

Maitian Music held a small celebration banquet at the Beijing Hotel to celebrate Cao Jun's record sales.

It's not that Song Ke didn't want to have a grand celebration banquet, it was mainly because Cao Jun didn't like it and he didn't think it was necessary to have such a grand celebration.

After three rounds of drinking, Song Ke took advantage of his drunkenness, held up the wine glass with one hand, put his hand on Cao Jun's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Xiao Cao, not signing your agency contract was the biggest mistake I made since I started business.

a decision."

"Actually, I know very well that this small temple in our wheat field cannot accommodate a giant Buddha like you. Even if we sign a contract with you, you will have to leave sooner or later."

Cao Jun also understood Song Ke's regret, but he had already signed a contract with Huayi. No matter how much he said, he couldn't change the fact, so he smiled and replied: "Boss, you don't make enough money. You have made money from ringtones on your mobile phone in the past two years."

Is there still little money?”

"By the way, boss, this year's royalties for mobile phone ringtones haven't arrived yet. Wasn't it settled every six months before? Why is it different this year?"

Song Ke smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, this money will be given to you. It will be paid out in January at the latest. If it is quick, it may be paid out at the end of this month."

After hearing Song Ke's words, Cao Jun asked with great interest: "Can you tell me how many there are?"

Song Ke said calmly: "I don't know the exact number, and China Mobile doesn't have an accurate figure. You have so many hit songs this year, it must be tens of millions."

Cao Jun couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, China Mobile has a monopoly on the ringback tone business. They have the final say on the data. They eat big meat, and we can only eat some soup."

Song Ke replied with a smile: "It would be nice to have some soup. Who are they to call them a platform? We used to sell records, let alone eat meat, and we couldn't even drink soup."

Faced with such unfair treatment, Cao Jun didn't want to say anything more, because he knew very well that no one could change this situation.

Song Ke didn't want to continue discussing this issue, because the more we talked, the more angry he became. No matter how we talked, the final right of interpretation rested with the mobile company. It depends on your mood as much as the mobile company gives you.

By the way, Cao Jun is now the undisputed king of popularity in the mainland music scene. Coupled with the praise from the media, people everywhere call him Cao Tianwang.

Although he has been called the King of Heaven, Cao Jun always felt that these were false names.

Compared with Ren Xianqi and Daolang at their peak, Cao Jun still felt that Ren Xianqi and Daolang were stronger.

The influence of Daolang and Ren Xianqi at their peak was absolutely terrifying. It can really be said that they were famous all over the country. They surrounded the cities from the countryside. Almost everyone, men, women and children knew about them.

Adu's peak period was also terrifying, but it lasted too short and he passed out quickly, even faster than Daolang.

Cao Jun also knows that he is very popular, but his audience is mainly young people, and older people rarely listen to his songs.

The two songs "Lonely Brave" and "Daoxiang" are very popular among primary and middle school students.

Even compared with Jay Chou now, Cao Jun cannot be said to be a sure winner.

Apart from his looks and acting skills, Cao Jun always feels that his record cannot surpass the king Jay Chou.

However, as far as the younger generation of singers are concerned, Cao Jun is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, second only to Jay Chou.

However, Jay Chou's fans and Cao Jun's fans don't think so. They all think that their favorite idols are more awesome.

This caused fans from both sides to quarrel online.

However, Cao Jun has nothing wrong with him. If Zhou Fan wants to scold Cao Jun, he really has nothing to scold.

In terms of looks, Cao Jun is definitely more handsome than Jay Chou. This is a fact that many Jay Chou fans don't want to admit but must admit.

When it comes to singing skills, the gap between the two people's singing skills is actually not too big, so it is difficult to distinguish between them. Jay Chou's unclear enunciation singing style has also been criticized by many fans.

In terms of creative talent, Cao Jun's "Golden Era" is a hit album, and it is comparable to any of Jay Chou's albums.

When it comes to scandals, Cao Jun hides them better and has almost no scandals at all. However, Jay Chou, Patty Hou, Jolin Tsai and others have all had scandals.

Moreover, Huayi's public relations team is not a vegetarian. Jay Chou also has a lot of negative fans on the Internet. As a result, Jay Chou's fans were almost crushed by Cao Jun's fans and had no power to fight back.

On the other hand, Zong Shuai, the manager of Huayi Fourth Studio, although he rarely arranges performances for Cao Jun, is still very active in choosing brand endorsements for him.

As the agent of Huayi's fourth studio, Zong Shuai also has his own performance pressure at Huayi.

And Cao Jun is the most profitable artist in the group he manages, so he naturally also has a heavy responsibility.

On December 6, under the arrangement of Zong Shuai, Cao Jun endorsed Alibaba potato chips.

On December 8, Cao Jun signed a contract with Shiyou Flooring and became the spokesperson of Shiyou Flooring.

On December 9, Cao Jun became the spokesperson of Head & Shoulders.

…

In just ten days, Cao Jun accepted 6 endorsements in one go and made 33 million yuan. On average, each endorsement can bring Cao Jun 5.5 million yuan in income every year.

Cao Jun felt that this huge sum of money came too easily, and he almost lost himself.

Although Cao Jun still had to pay taxes on this money and give Hua Yi a share, Cao Jun could get more than 20 million.

It is worth mentioning that Cao Jun is not the celebrity with the most endorsements in the Mainland. He is relatively conservative and a person who cherishes his own feathers. He does not accept all advertisements, but accepts advertisements selectively.

Because many mainland celebrities, including Fan Bingbing, Zhao Wei, Lu Yi and many other first-line celebrities, basically have about 20 endorsements on hand.

December 16, early morning.

Purple Jade Villa, Cao Mansion.

After so much work, Cao Jun rarely had to get up early. He was half asleep when he felt someone tugging on his pants.

Cao Jun opened his eyes and saw Zeng Li with blurred eyes.

Speaking of which, Cao Jun has been busy shooting commercials in the past few days, shooting from morning to night, and basically has no time to spend with Zeng Li.

After seeing Cao Jun wake up, Zeng Li simply pulled off his pants himself.

Cao Jun said angrily and funny: "You are such a greedy cat. If you don't feed it for a few days, you will get hungry."

After listening to Cao Jun's words, Zeng Li snorted, turned around, and ignored Cao Jun.

Cao Jun knew that Zeng Li was acting petty and was not really angry, so he took Zeng Li into his arms and said, "I am free today and will accompany you to record songs."

After hearing Cao Jun's words, Zeng Li instantly turned from worry to joy, and was no longer sulky, letting Cao Jun hold her in his arms.

After being silent for a while, Zeng Li asked: "My teahouse is about to open, do you want to visit it?"

Cao Jun nodded: "You must go, I will give you some advice."

Zeng Li asked with a smile: "Do you know teahouses? You just said you wanted to give me some advice, and you acted like you knew tea art."

Cao Jun smiled and said, "I don't understand tea art, but I understand the teahouse proprietress. Is this okay?"

Zeng Li smiled and replied: "Okay, you are welcome to come."
