Chapter 33: Popularity, the casting storm of "The Condor Heroes"!

Regardless of whether it was a hot-selling record or a hit on the radio, it was too far away from real life and did not give much feedback to Cao Jun.

In addition, during this period, Cao Jun has been participating in various music programs non-stop to promote the album "Fairy Tale", and there is no way to experience a down-to-earth life.

Until one night, Cao Jun returned to the capital from a business trip.

As soon as Cao Jun entered the hotel, he heard the song "Fairy Tale" playing from the speakers in the lobby.

"I would like to become the angel you love in the fairy tale, open my hands, and turn into wings to protect you..."

At this time, a female receptionist named Xiaoli in the hotel took Cao Jun's three "Fairy Tale" records and asked him for his autograph regardless of her reserve.

Cao Jun suddenly realized that he seemed to be really angry.

Cao Jun looked at the three records that Xiaoli brought, and they were all genuine. He was deeply moved and said, "Xiaoli, I'm very happy that you can support me, but don't be too blind."

Xiaoli blushed and said, "I know Brother Jun, I only bought one for myself, and two of them were brought to you to sign for my cousin and her classmate. They both like you very much."

While signing, Cao Jun asked with great interest: "How old are you? How old is your cousin this year?"

"Brother Jun, I am 17 years old this year, and my cousin is 15 years old and has just entered the second grade of junior high school."

"Then she won't be going to the third grade of junior high school in the second half of the year. You should ask her to study hard and not blindly chase stars."

"Brother Jun knows, I will tell her for you."

"Um."

When Xiaoli happily sat back down at the front desk holding three records, Cao Jun thought about it secretly.

So cool!

However, Cao Jun also began to realize that this hotel with a room rate of more than 100 yuan could no longer accommodate his giant Buddha.

What makes Cao Jun even more happy is that the album "Fairy Tale" has quickly become popular all over the country with the promotion and support of multiple TV stations, including CCTV, and major radio stations.

As of April 15, 11 days after its release, the album "Fairy Tale" had sold 200,000 copies, easily beating all Hong Kong and Taiwan albums released during the same period.

"Fairy Tale" ranks first in the sales volume of all major genuine audio and video stores in some big city markets, with Daolang's "The First Snow in 2002" ranking second.

In the sales lists of major websites, "Fairy Tale" also takes the top spot.

The album's sales also surpassed all albums released during the same period, becoming the veritable sales champion of Chinese-language albums in the past month.

Warner estimates that with this sales momentum, sales of "Fairy Tale" will exceed 300,000 copies in the next few days.

Cao Jun himself did not expect that sales in various places would be so high. Although he has been severely exhausted due to traveling these days, the thought of having so many fans supporting him made him more confident in his album.

However, the most popular entertainment news in recent times is not Cao Jun's "Fairy Tale" or Dao Lang's "The First Snow in 2002".

Instead, the turbulent battle over the roles of "Yang Guo" and "Little Dragon Girl" has easily occupied a prominent position on major websites.

In other words, after hyping the casting of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" once, Zhang Jizhong tasted the sweetness brought by the hype.

This time in preparation for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the clever Zhang Jizhong successfully directed another casting show, attracting the attention of viewers in advance. Knowing that it was a trap, he still dived in without any regrets and took a closer look.

after all.

There is no way, after all, this is Jin Yong's work, after all, this is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", after all, the actors chosen this time are Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu who all the actors want to play!

Since then, many actors and countless spectators have joined this wonderful show. Regarding this, Cao Jun can only say: "A master is a master!"

In fact, as early as more than a month ago, the news that the role of "Little Dragon Girl" will be played by Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun, the heroine of the movie "My Sassy Girl", has spread all over the Internet.

A few days later, regarding the news of Jun Ji-hyun's role in "Little Dragon Girl", Zhang Jizhong solemnly said in an interview with reporters: "This is a huge misunderstanding, because I downloaded some photos of Jun Ji-hyun as my computer desktop, and they were

A reporter saw it”.

Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with this explanation.

But a month later, news of a new candidate for "Little Dragon Girl" came out from the crew again. This time, it was Yu Min who "let the word out" and the candidate was Hong Kong's Cecilia Cheung.

What is even more gimmick is that Yu Min also revealed that the role of "Yang Guo" has been decided to be discontinued.

Xie and Zhang were in the "scandalous" stage at the time, but Zhang Jizhong immediately cursed the news as untrue.

However, in Cao Jun's view, this incident was simply Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min playing a double act, which was extremely ridiculous.

You know, Yu Min is Zhang Jizhong's "Queen Director", and he has followed Zhang Jizhong in several Jin Yong dramas.

Although he was repeatedly criticized by the media and the audience for his "poor quality", Zhang Jizhong just refused to change the actors. The performance of this red-faced and white-faced performance was really outrageous and ridiculous.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Li, who has a "beautiful temperament", was also involved in this casting whirlpool.

What is puzzling is that the director team said that Sun Li was recommended by her agency.

However, Sun Li's agency stated that they had not contacted the crew at all. The most important point is that Sun Li's schedule this year is already full, and it is impossible for her to play the role of Little Dragon Girl again.

The casting controversy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has developed to this point, and Cao Jun knows very well that this casting farce is not over, but has just begun.

However, Cao Jun is a common man after all. Like all young actors, he also wants to play the role of Yang Guo in the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

If Cao Jun has any specific dream as an actor, then playing the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been his dream all along.

Since the casting controversy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" occurred, Cao Jun began to think about what he would do to win the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

April 20, afternoon.

Warner and Wheatfield Records held a celebration party in Beijing to celebrate the sales of Cao Jun's "Fairy Tale" album exceeding 300,000.

Guests present to congratulate include Song Ke, Gao Xiaosong, Lao Lang, Dada Band, etc., as well as many media reporters.

At the celebration party, Cao Jun was also full of joy.

When it was his turn to speak, Cao Jun picked up the microphone and said with emotion: "Today I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Song and Mr. Gao. I am really grateful for their help and support for this album. They are both my nobles."

"Also, thank you to Brother Lang and Dada Band for supporting my music, and thank them for coming to my celebration today. Thank you..."

"I am also particularly grateful to my fans and friends. Without their support and love, today's celebration banquet would not be possible..."

"Finally, I would like to thank Wheatfield Company and Warner Records, thank you, thank you to all the media friends present, thank you for coming to witness my small achievements, thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause and cheers erupted from the scene.

Although today's scene is not a big occasion for many well-known singers, for Cao Jun, it is already the highlight of his life.

In his previous life, Cao Jun was just a good-looking ordinary person, and his life was not going as he wished. The most extraordinary thing he ever did was to act as a supporting actor in a few unknown TV series, and that was it.
