After 124 days, we invite each other to play mahjong, the entertainment industry is really a circle
December 4th, Beijing
As soon as Cao Xuan came out of the airport, he immediately went to the CCTV main station to participate in the rehearsal of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
His schedule for returning to Beijing this time is quite tight. On the one hand, he is participating in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and he also has to record a MV.
December 31st is the turn of the century from the 20th to the 21st century. CCTV is preparing to conduct a 24-hour live broadcast to record the celebration of the new millennium by people across the country and even the world.
During the live broadcast, CCTV invited singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places to sing the song "The Love of the World, Will Never Divide".
The singing list is full of stars, including Wang Fei, Liu Tianwang, Li Tianwang, Li Jiaxin, Wei Wei, Tian Zhen, Mao Ning, Cai Guoqing, Zhang Xinzhe, Wu Qianlian, Fei Xiang, Zhao Wei and others.
All of them are currently popular stars or big names in the music industry, and Cao Xuan, a well-established mainland brother, is naturally among the invitees.
Last year's Spring Festival Gala, the 50th anniversary fireworks show, and the trip to Taiwan that was highly recognized by the official media, all of which have made Cao Xuan a representative of mainland pop music.
Two days ago, the Second Elder visited Singapore and gave two albums to local citizens as gifts.
The original time and space were Na Young's "Conquer" and "Better", but now they have naturally become the two-parter "Starry" and "Starry" which are more famous, have higher sales, and have wider influence.
If the previous official media certification was still a bit far-fetched, once this incident came out, Cao Xuan, a popular brother in the mainland, was as safe as a rock.
The recording of the MV is very simple, and when the time comes to edit it, it only takes one person one sentence.
Those with bigger wrists will be given a few seconds of footage, and those with smaller wrists will be given one shot.
Most of the singers in this MV participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala, so they were basically recorded and filmed during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.
For a small number of artists who did not participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, it was convenient for them to call and record, and for those who were not convenient, the program team sent people there.
This was meant for the outside world to hear. When CCTV opened its mouth, mainland artists basically came by themselves. Only a handful of big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan sent people to film.
Cao Xuan arrived at the MV recording site and met Wang Fei.
As the current number one queen in the Chinese music scene and the rising new king, this is the first time for Wang Fei and Cao Xuan to meet.
For a birthday celebration before, Cao Xuan gave Wang Fei an autographed photo, which he got through someone else.
However, although the two met for the first time, they have been close friends for a long time.
Wang Fei's best friend Na Tianhou was questioned by Cao Xuan about her life, and she probably whispered about him behind his back a lot.
Cao Xuan has a die-hard fan of Wang Fei in his family, and his apartment in Haidian has several times more Wang Fei albums than Cao Xuan's.
Of course, the main reason is that Cao Xuan debuted too late, with only two albums...
Cao Xuan still admires Wang Fei very much. Apart from anything else, Wang Fei's achievements in the field of music have almost reached the pinnacle of female singers in the Chinese music scene.
The only Chinese pop female singer who is more influential than Wang Fei is Teresa Teng, who has faded away from popularity.
At least for now, Wang Fei is still the senior that Cao Xuan needs to catch up with.
"When I returned to the mainland, there were news photos of you everywhere. It was so popular that we were almost out of date."
Many people's impression of Wang Fei is that she is reserved and low-key. In fact, she has a very lively personality in private. After chatting for a few times, she started teasing Cao Xuan as she got acquainted with her.
"Sister Fei is too praised. If you are too angry, I might as well quit the music scene."
The two of them blew rainbow farts to each other, and Wang Fei was having fun chatting, and suddenly asked Cao Xuan: "Can you play mahjong? There is a game tonight, let's go together."
"I know how to play northern mahjong, but I'm not very familiar with it."
"It doesn't matter. If you don't understand, I'll teach you. I just want to make a game and let's chat."
"Nayoung...the teacher isn't here, right?"
Cao Xuan was very vigilant, lest he run into an old enemy. Wang Fei smiled happily, obviously understanding the experience of two people falling in love and killing each other.
"She's not here, it's just me, Zhang Yadong and his girlfriend."
Zhang Yadong’s girlfriend?
Hearing the name of this goddess harvester, Cao Xuan was in a daze for a moment.
At this time, is Lao Zhang’s girlfriend Gao Yuanyuan, the goddess of tiger fighting? Or Qu Ying, who is known as the number one supermodel in the mainland?
No, Qu Ying is currently in a relationship with Li Yapeng, probably Gao Yuanyuan.
Director Tang held the bowl and was furious!
Hearing that there was no Naying, Cao Xuan accepted the appointment again. Wang Fei came early and left after filming. Cao Xuan recorded by himself and met an acquaintance again.
"Brother-in-law" Xia Yu!
According to Yuan Quan's best friend, Zeng Li, who has been chasing Yuan Quan for two years, he finally succeeded in winning the beauty not long ago, causing a sensation in the entire 96 star class.
While Zeng Li and Hu Jing both kept a low profile, Yuan Quan was the first person in the class to openly fall in love with a celebrity.
However, Yuan Quan herself is not bad either. For the 19th Golden Rooster Awards in October this year, she was nominated for "Best Actress" and "Best Supporting Actress" by herself, and finally won the latter. She is a Chinese drama
The first person from the Class of 96 to win a major film and television award.
The exception is Mei Ting, who has dropped out of school. In 1997, she won the Best Actress at the Cairo Film Festival and the Best Actress at the Huabiao Film Festival.
In comparison, Hu Jing was still playing supporting roles in TV series at this time, while Zeng Li was struggling to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Cao Xuan was wondering whether he was holding them back...
Based on the relationship between Zeng Li and Yuan Quan, Yuan Quan is one of the very few people who knows that she and Cao Xuan are together.
Although Yuan Quan didn't tell Xia Yu, Zeng Li and Yuan Quan called each other every three days and often went shopping. Coupled with the various details from before, it was not difficult to guess Zeng Li's situation as long as he paid attention.
So the two men met for the first time and smiled tacitly at each other, feeling like they were meeting in victory.
"How old are you?"
"You were born in 1976, how about you?"
"I'm one year older than you. Let's do this. I'll call you Lao Xia, you can call me brother, or you can call me Lao Cao."
"Let's go back to Lao Cao. You are tender-faced and it would be awkward for me to call you brother."
The two hit it off immediately, and Xia Yu insisted on taking Cao Xuan to dinner because Cao Xuan had an appointment and couldn't leave.
Later, after another detailed chat, Zhang Yadong and Xia Yu knew each other. Now it was settled. Since we are all acquaintances, let's go play mahjong together.
Cao Xuan waited for Xia Yu for a while. After the two recorded the MV, they called to find out where Wang Fei lived. As soon as they arrived downstairs, Xia Yu was about to get out of the car when Cao Xuan stopped her.
"There are paparazzi."
"?"
Xia Yu searched around for a long time and asked doubtfully: "Where can I find it?"
Cao Xuan pointed out the car: "Did you see the car next to the big tree? I saw the camera."
Xia Yu hurriedly looked over there, and sure enough, there was a private car with two people sitting in it, looking sneaky.
The car was parked in a slightly off-center location, so you couldn't spot it unless you looked carefully, but at the same time, it faced the door downstairs where Wang Fei was, and you could see all the people coming and going.
"Oh my God, how did you find out?"
"If you deal with it a lot, you can tell it at a glance."
Cao Xuan's words are half true and half false. In fact, this is an occupational disease he developed when he was a paparazzi. When he goes to a place, he first observes the terrain to find the best hidden shooting angle.
Now that I have become an artist, I still maintain this habit, but it is not about taking secret photos, but to prevent secret photos.
"Call Zhang Weidong to remind you."
Two big men, this community is under surveillance, and Cao Xuan has nothing to shy away from.
He asked Xia Yu to make a call, then got out of the car calmly and waved hello to the paparazzi.
"Damn it, I've been discovered."
The two paparazzi in the car were startled, but they were relieved when they saw that Cao Xuan didn't say anything. He waved and walked into the building with Xia Yu.
"Cao Xuan's eyes are too treacherous. He noticed it as soon as he got out of the car."
"I have long heard that Cao Xuan is difficult to photograph. As long as those who follow him are not discovered or thrown away, fortunately, he does not rush to kill them all. If he is in a good mood, he will take the initiative to give some news."
"Did you just take the photo?"
"We took pictures, but they were all with Xia Yu, how about...Xiu Xiu?"
"How to cultivate? If you really treat people as vegetarians, then accept it as soon as it's good. Cao Xuan and Xia Yu's visit to Tianhou's house is also news."
The two paparazzi discussed for a few words to set the tone, and then photographed Zhang Yadong, Gao Yuanyuan and Pu Shu arriving one after another.
Now it's not even a risk to take a risk. If a large group of people testify, you can sue someone for defamation and spreading rumors, and you might have to stay in jail for a few days.
………
Upstairs, Cao Xuan also met the romantic talent Zhang Yadong, known as the mainland's number one music producer, and his girlfriend Gao Yuanyuan.
She is indeed the goddess who makes Zhao Youting the hatred in the hearts of countless men.
Compared with later generations, Da Meiyuan at this time lacked the charm of a mature young woman and had more of the innocence and charm of a young girl. She was once the favorite of major advertising directors in Beijing.
Zhang Yadong is such a lucky guy!
Cao Xuan murmured in his heart, but he didn't mean to be envious. Gao Yuanyuan was beautiful, and the two in his family were not bad either.
However, Cao Xuan was able to hold his own, but Xia Yu couldn't help but glance at Gao Yuanyuan several times.
Cao Xuan secretly thought that he had forgotten that Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan had a relationship, and he almost ended up with Yuan Quan because of this.
If this was because he broke up the young couple in advance, it would be a huge crime, and Zeng Li could not get around him.
"Ahem, Lao Pu, how about the Spring Festival Gala program."
After coughing a few times, Cao Xuan took Xia Yu to chat with Pu Shu. Pu Shu had met Cao Xuan before, but was not very familiar with him. When he heard him calling him Lao Pu, he was stunned, but he still replied honestly.
"The program is "White Birch Forest", and they are all familiar songs, so it's not a big problem."
"That's good. I heard that you and Zhou Xun are together?"
Cao Xuan is a bit gossipy. Some time ago, Gao Dagen made a movie "When the Flowers Bloom" for Pu Shu. Mr. Zhou was the heroine, and the two of them got along well after filming.
At that time, Mr. Zhou and Jia Hongsheng from "Suzhou River" had not broken up yet.
It is said that Lao Jia and Mr. Zhou were watching TV at home. Pu Shu, who was receiving the award, looked very familiar with the necklace on his body, as if he had given it to Mr. Zhou before. After a confrontation, Mr. Zhou was kicked out of the house.
However, Lao Jia later accepted an interview and clarified that the general trend of the matter was this, but it was not a necklace, but clothes and the like, and he did not kick Mr. Zhou out. The two were still friends.
Speaking of which, Hu Jing and Mr. Zhou have a very good relationship and can be considered best friends. In this way, Cao Xuan and Pu Shu can also be considered half brothers-in-law.
But this is just a joke. If you think about it this way, everyone in the entertainment industry will be relatives.
Apart from that, Faye Wong's ex-husband is Dou Laoxian, and Dou Laoxian's younger brother Dou Peng is Mr. Zhou's ex-boyfriend. Pu Shu and Wang should not be allowed to talk about their in-laws.
This is still the case now. If Li Yapeng is added in another two years, the relationship will be even more chaotic, with many spider webs.
Even those present, Zhang Yadong, Xia Yu, and Gao Yuanyuan were involved, which proves that the entertainment industry is really a circle...
When asked, Pu Shu nodded directly, Cao Xuan gave him a thumbs up, and Xia Yu also came over to eat melon, finally not paying attention to Gao Yuanyuan.
While chatting with Pu Shu, Cao Xuan did not forget about Zhang Yadong. He had always been interested in Zhang Yadong. His musical talent and professionalism were definitely among the best in the Mainland.
He has helped Wang Fei, Pu Shu, Li Yuchun, Yu Quan, Xu Wei and other well-known singers produce albums, especially the first three. Zhang Yadong single-handedly handled the production and arrangement of many works.
This time we have established a friendship, and when Cao Xuan produces a new album, he can invite Zhang Yadong to check it for him.
Later, another female friend of Wang Fei, the editor-in-chief of a music magazine, suddenly lit up when he saw Cao Xuan and wanted to make an interview. Cao Xuan readily agreed.
Many times, connections in the entertainment industry come from people who know each other personally, and then you help me or I help you, and the relationship is established.
During today's mahjong game, Cao Xuan got to know a Chinese diva, a well-known producer, a popular singer, a magazine editor and a slightly famous actress.
There's no telling when I'll be able to use these people in the future. If you have friendship, it's just a matter of talking. If you don't have friendship, people may not pay attention to you if you come to your door.
Cao Xuan is not enthusiastic about this kind of social networking, but he would not refuse it if he could.
Of course, the premise is that the other party will not let them react.
For example, Xiao Dajin is a well-known musician in the industry. He tried to get acquainted with Cao Xuan twice and three times, but Cao Xuan didn't like him...
