528 The 8th Billboard No. 1 and the Empress Nishinomiya who reappears(1/2)
Taking advantage of the momentum of the Olympic Games, "Hall of Fame" became incredibly popular, not only in China but also in China.
In the United States, thanks to the collaboration between two superstars, Cao Xuan and Eminem, it successfully entered the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, initially ranking at No. 14.
In the past two years, Cao Xuan has been a star on "Legend" in the United States and has held global concerts. Needless to say, he is very popular at the time, and Eminem is no less popular.
Even because he is an American star, his popularity in the United States is more solid than Cao Xuan.
If the two had not been close friends for a long time because of their musical talents, and often praised each other in the media and business, the relationship was quite good, plus the factor of helping the Olympic Games, otherwise Cao Xuan might not have been able to invite this person to him.
green leaves.
It can't be said to be Green Leaf. Although the song "Hall of Fame" features Cao Xuan as the main character, Eminem still plays a large part. It would be more appropriate to say that it is a duet between the two.
The popularity of "Hall of Fame" also made Eminem quickly become famous in China.
Even though Eminem is also known as a world superstar, because he develops more in the United States, and rap songs are extremely niche in China, his reputation in China is really average, not even as good as some first- and second-tier artists who are more inclined to develop in Asia.
European and American singer.
Unless you like rap songs or have knowledge of the European and American entertainment circles, you don’t know the word Eminem at all.
Even the information about this person on the Chinese Internet was not detailed before, but after cooperating with Cao Xuan, the relevant information and information increased several times.
This is not a rare thing. As long as foreign stars can have a relationship or have a good friendship with Cao Xuan, they will naturally be exposed by domestic media and their popularity in the country will also increase.
The better the relationship, the more news, and the stronger the visibility.
For example, Avril Lavigne, in the United States, it's hard to say whether she can compete with Britney and Beyoncé, but in China, her popularity is definitely the only one among European and American stars.
Even many people who don't particularly care about the entertainment industry know that Cao Xuan has a very popular "gossister" in the United States.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Avril's name is easy to remember, her nickname "Little Witch" is quite interesting, and she also has a distinctive characteristic of her love of smoky eye...
If it were really a name like Antigone Raphael or Kyniss Padgett, it would be really difficult for ordinary people in China to remember it, and foreign names are often repetitive.
Therefore, fans in the European and American circles love to give nicknames to European and American celebrities. It is really difficult to remember the names and it is easy to repeat them. It is convenient and easy to distinguish them by using nicknames.
Although Eminem did not directly go out on a large scale, he still left an impression on many people, and his reputation as "Eminem" skyrocketed in the country.
Even those who are not familiar with it can sing along as long as they mention Cao Xuan
You can also get a rough impression of the white street gangsters in Hall of Fame.
On August 25th, Monday, the weekly QQ Star Hot Song Chart will be updated.
"Hall of Fame" unsurprisingly added a small crown symbolizing the championship next to the homepage, and became the QQ Star Hot Song Chart reorganization and launch of the weekly chart. A few months later, it became the seventh number one single.
On the same day, "Hall of Fame" also topped the QQ Star New Songs Chart and Hot Songs Daily Chart.
"Hall of Fame" also became the third song to top three charts at the same time on the QQ Star Music website.
However, for Cao Xuan, this is hardly news. On the contrary, if he does not win the "Third Ranking", it will make the media interested.
Different from the calmness of the domestic charts, "Hall of Fame" has still received a lot of attention in foreign countries.
Especially this song is to promote the Beijing Olympics. To a certain extent, the more popular the song is, the greater the influence of the Beijing Olympics. Everyone likes to hear these news.
And Cao Xuan and "Hall of Fame" also lived up to the expectations of the outside world.
After two years, Cao Xuan once again released an English song, which has already attracted much attention, not to mention the popularity of the Olympic Games.
In fact, before "Hall of Fame", the English version of "My Dream" had already entered the Billboard singles chart, peaking in the top ten.
However, it did not win the championship. It is unclear whether there was political suppression, but the song was indeed quite popular, even more popular than "Hall of Fame" in the world.
The melodious and soulful singing, inspirational and touching lyrics, and the aura of the Beijing Olympics theme song made it the most requested song in various countries. It performed well on music charts in various countries and was hailed as a dream work.
It has also attracted a lot of discussion as to whether this song is one of the most classic theme songs of all previous Olympic Games.
In comparison, "Hall of Fame" may be slightly less influential and less popular than "My Dream", but the names of the two superstars are no joke, especially in the United States, where they have gained greater popularity.
success.
On Tuesday, August 26, the new issue of the Billboard singles chart was released, and "Hall of Fame" successfully topped the list.
This is Cao Xuan's eighth Billboard No. 1 single in his career, and Eminem's second Billboard No. 1 single.
Even though Eminem is an American rap superstar, he is an album-oriented singer, or it could be said that the team's public relations ability for the list is insufficient.
It is common for albums to top the charts in terms of sales, but as of 2008, they have only won the top spot on the Billboard Singles Chart once, with several songs hovering around the 2nd and 3rd places many times.
This situation of being the second best player in a thousand years may be an accident once or twice. If you fail to get it multiple times, it is unless you have extremely bad luck, the team is not strong enough, or the bulletin board suppresses you.
Billboard has a good relationship with Eminem, and they are given a lot of honors. There should be no conflict. The big pot is still a team.
Even in 2022, Eminem has only won 6 Billboard No. 1 singles, including a collaboration with Billboard's daughter Rihanna.
Now he is collaborating with Cao Xuan. The two superstars have collaborated together and have the halo of the Olympics. They have another championship single.
He originally wanted to help, but he hugged his thigh inexplicably. Eminem even called Cao Xuan to express his thanks.
Many European and American stars also watched with envy. Last time Avril Lavigne and Cao Xuan almost won the championship when they collaborated, but this time Eminem and Cao Xuan collaborated and directly won the championship.
Who doesn’t want a Billboard No. 1 single? Having one more is a good honor. With this good example, if Cao Xuan wants to collaborate with other European and American singers in the future, everyone will rush to do it, and his enthusiasm will be greatly increased.
However, it is a pity that "Hall of Fame" only stayed at the top of the list for 2 weeks due to the popularity of the Beijing Olympics. After the popularity of the Olympics declined, it fell down.
But even so, Cao Xuan has been on the Billboard Hot 100 for 31 weeks, which is a terrifying record for American singers, not to mention in Asia.
In addition, "Hall of Fame" has also won a lot of success in other countries. It has topped the music charts in the United Kingdom and Australia.
After discussing with Eminem, Cao Xuan announced that he would donate all proceeds from "Hall of Fame" in their names to support the reconstruction of disaster areas and Olympic-related charities.
In fact, Cao Xuan did not need to seek Eminem's permission. Although the song was sung by two people, the creation rights and copyright belong to him.
Cao Xuan had already given the performance fee to Eminem, and it was up to him whether to donate it or not, but to show respect, he discussed it with Eminem and added his name.
When Eminem saw this, he saw that Lao Cao was a very particular person and he could not lose his place.
He directly took out all the fees paid by Cao Xuan to invite him to sing the chorus, and donated it together with the proceeds of "Hall of Fame". If it was a bit far-fetched to say that the two signed it before, it is indeed justified now.
Eminem's actions have won a lot of praise overseas and domestically, and Cao Xuan also had a good impression of him.
If they were just ordinary friends who admired each other, after this incident, they became a bit more like friends.
Eminem told the media that Cao Xuan is one of the best musicians he has ever seen, and his musical achievements are incredible and great.
Cao Xuan said that Eminem is a fierce-looking person with a kind heart. He is his personal favorite rapper and he is a fan of Eminem.
The two boasted about each other's business in the media and on the Internet, throwing rainbow farts for free, and even Avril Lavigne and Cao Xuan's apprentice Taylor were a little jealous.
I'm obviously the singer with whom Cao/Teacher has the best relationship, so how come this guy suddenly pops up, and he's a guy...
………
On August 24, the Beijing Olympic Games held a closing ceremony and announced the official end of the Beijing Olympic Games.
The Chinese delegation strongly won the first place in the gold medal list with 51 golds, 21 silvers and 28 bronzes, creating the best result in the history of China's participation in the Olympic Games.
At the closing ceremony, Cao Xuan once again took the stage to sing "Forever Friends" solo to express friendship and farewell to the departing delegations.
Cao Xuan also became the only singer in China to sing solo at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.
Afterwards, Cao Xuanye, the director team of Lao Mouzi, and volunteer representatives, as the behind-the-scenes heroes of the Olympic Games, were personally received by the leaders and presented with relevant certificates and medals.
In particular, Lao Mouzi and Cao Xuan received individual praise from the senior leaders.
In this Olympic Games, the performance of the two people definitely added glory to the Olympic Games. To a certain extent, their contribution was no worse than those of the Olympic athletes who won gold and silver medals for the country on the field, and even stronger in terms of publicity and influence.
After coming out of the synagogue, Cao Xuan signed autographs and took photos with several volunteers, and then caught up with Lao Mouzi.
"How does it feel when the Olympics are over and the burden is lifted off your shoulders?"
"My whole body feels light."
Lao Mouzi worked with Cao Xuan many times during this period, and the relationship became familiar, so he told the truth.
During the opening and closing ceremonies of this Olympic Games, Lao Mouzi was definitely one of the people under the greatest pressure.
At most, Cao Xuan was nervous about his own show, but he was nervous about the entire party, and Cao Xuan knew the feedback on the songs and the performance of the party, while Lao Mouzi was crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the pressure he endured in his heart would not be the same as that of ordinary people.
collapsed.
Now that the Olympic Games are over, the task cannot be said to have been successfully completed, but at least all parties are satisfied, and Lao Mouzi feels comfortable all over.
"Come on, I'll treat Director Zhang and a few of them to a drink to celebrate."
Boss Cao was bleeding out of habit, but he was stopped by Lao Mouzi: "If you want to ask me to do it in the future, I won't stop you. This time I have to do it both in public and private matters."
"Okay."
Cao Xuan didn't argue with him. Lao Mouzi found a private club and invited many of the Olympic directing team's heroes to celebrate their achievements and have a breakup dinner.
The task was completed, it was a happy event, and everyone had a good time drinking. Even Cao Xuan broke his precept to save face, and toasted to everyone many times.
After having enough food and wine, some people chose World War II, some went home, and some went to other activities.
Cao Xuan and a few married gentlemen were too slutty to go, so they simply made an appointment to take a bath and massage to relieve their fatigue.
As soon as his clothes were taken off, Cao Daguan's strong and smooth muscles made these middle-aged and elderly men with bulging bellies feel inferior. Looking further down, they became even more inferior.
Lao Mouzi also glanced at it several times, admiring it without losing regret and saying: "This figure is really good. It would be a pity not to have a sex scene in "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff"."
"You think of me as a butcher?"
