182 Album annual sales for three consecutive years and the first girl group in the Chinese music scene
On the second day after Cao Xuan came to Taiwan, he accepted several interviews under the arrangement of Warner.
It's not to promote the concert. The tickets are all sold out and there's no point in promoting it. It's mainly to promote the new album and to compensate for this year's Golden Melody Awards.
To this day, there are still many people in Taiwan who are still upset that Cao Xuan won the Golden Song King when he accepted the award in the future.
Although Cao Xuan didn't care about these voices, he still had to make some responses for the sake of the organizing committee and all parties.
Under the policy of the two places, Cao Xuan did not want to have such a stalemate with Baodao unless it was a matter of principle.
If others do not offend me, I will not offend others.
Let's say a few nice words to coax each other and make each other look good, hello to me and hello to everyone.
Cao Xuan still benefits from taking money from Taiwan Province, and even spreads his influence in the mainland to a certain extent, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country.
Of course, he would not tolerate some idiots who were provoking troubles, and he would fight them when necessary.
Now to put it bluntly, it is Cao Xuan who is dependent on Cao Xuan for his livelihood by some people in Taiwan Province, not him who is dependent on certain people for his livelihood. At worst, they will break up and he will go back to the mainland to develop.
Therefore, I didn’t want to put on a sack and go swimming in Sun Moon Lake the next day, so I honestly conducted the interview as required.
There are serious societies here. When Chen Haonan comes, he has to visit the pier...
"Bright Stars" was released in late October, and sales suddenly reached 1.4 million in the first month. Now it is late December, and total sales have reached 2.2 million+.
It also accomplished a small miracle. It only took two months to successfully win the album sales championship in 2000.
Cao Xuan also achieved three consecutive album sales titles in the Chinese music industry.
Three albums, best-selling in three years!
I don't know if this is unprecedented. After all, before 1995, there were few systematic sales calculations in the mainland, but at least at this stage, Cao Xuan is definitely the well-deserved "King of Record Sales".
The Stars Trilogy was also able to become a god. Well, in fact, it had already been achieved. Winning three consecutive championships is the icing on the cake.
Of the 2.2 million+ sales, Taiwan Province alone accounted for 600,000 copies, taking the top spot in annual sales in Taiwan Province in 2000.
This is also the first time Cao Xuan has won the sales crown in Taiwan Province.
In the first two years, he lost to Ren Xianqi in the first year, fought with Zhang Yu and Zhang Huimei for a long time in the second year, and was overtaken by Li Wen in the end.
Winning the annual sales crown in Taiwan Province this time can be regarded as a small goal achieved. It is a pity that Sun Yanzi and Xiao Zhou had better results in their first major.
Now that Cao Xuan has mixed it up, the limelight has been greatly overshadowed.
Especially Xiao Zhou and Sun Yanzi were female singers, so their influence was limited, but he was completely defeated by Cao Xuan.
In terms of creative ability, singing skills, appearance, and influence, we all live in the shadow of Cao Daguan...
In just two months, sales exceeded 2 million. Warner has great ambitions for "Bright Stars".
3 million is no longer the so-called threshold, their goal is 5 million.
As for whether it can be achieved, no one can say. After all, there has been no similar data comparison before, so we can only do our best and listen to fate.
But if it can be achieved, it will almost set a record for the highest single-album sales of a Chinese album recorded in formal statistics.
By the way, Cao Xuan also took the time to attend the finals of "Universe 2000 Powerful Girls Contest".
This program was inspired by Wu Zongxian and the "TV National" program behind him. During this period, Huayan Records also participated, and it is still somewhat famous in the local area.
Cao Xuan agreed to attend, mainly to sell Wu Zongxian's face.
Lao Wu has a wide network of contacts in Taiwan TV stations, and Cao Xuan intends to ask him to take the lead in helping him sell Fanxing's dramas to Taiwan.
Wu Zongxian agreed without saying a word, and the two immediately became "good brothers." Since they were good brothers, Cao Xuan had to help him stand up.
In addition, he does have an impression of this program with an extremely catchy name. The future number one girl group in the Chinese music industry, Snakes...oh no...is [S·H·E], which started from this program.
………
At the finals, Cao Xuan met his little brother for the first time in a year.
Although he has become famous, he is still a bit shy and introverted. He has half-long hair that hangs down in front of his forehead, making him look like a youthful version of Tony Oki.
"Brother Xuan."
Zhou Jielun was very happy to see Cao Xuan. He heard that Cao Xuan was arriving today and came here with his boss to meet his elder brother.
"Oh, it's not bad."
Cao Xuan patted Xiao Zhou on the shoulder, with a look of relief on his face: "After I came to Taiwan Province, I saw your album sales, which are already hundreds of thousands, which is quite impressive."
"Brother Xuan, you are far behind, and you only have some influence in Taiwan Province, and you won't be able to do it outside."
"It's been a few years since I debuted, don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Cao Xuan didn't know whether Jay Chou was arrogant or ambitious. His performance when he first debuted was directly against his own.
Don’t you know that Cao Daguan is a cheater?
But putting this aside, Cao Xuan and his little brother had a good chat. Cao Xuan also took the time to inquire about the progress of Jay Chou and Cai Yilin.
On the first day he came to Taiwan Province, he saw the news that the two supernovas were having a fierce fight, and Wu Zongxian personally arranged it on the show.
As soon as this was mentioned, Jay Chou's face was filled with a shy and beautiful smile. Cao Xuan didn't even need to ask, there must be something fishy between the two of them.
The boy killer lives up to his reputation!
Cao Xuan invited Jay Chou to watch his concert in Taiwan by the way. In fact, he originally wanted to bring Xiao Zhou along with him this time.
But Warner wanted to promote its own singers more, and Cao Xuan contacted a few friends. Too many people would be bad.
Anyway, Xiao Zhou is going to Singapore and Malaysia with him, so it doesn’t matter if he has a local concert in Taiwan Province, he will just be an audience member this time.
The two chatted for a while, and the finals had already begun over there. Cao Xuan was not in a hurry to appear. He was appearing as the winner's award guest, which was a surprise.
Cao Xuan paid special attention to the three people who shot them. They have not yet combined their English names. Instead, they use their Mandarin names: Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen, and Chen Jiahua.
She is not very young, around 20 years old, and is a young and beautiful girl. Even the tomboy Chen Jiahua can be regarded as a beautiful boy.
The stage performance is not that good, and I could even forget the lyrics during the finals, but compared to the amateur contestants, they are still outstanding. At least the six people who entered the finals are all relatively promising.
It is worth mentioning that I don’t know whether it was their own choice or the program team’s deliberate arrangement. The six people sang 6 songs in the final, half of which were Cao Xuan’s songs.
Ren Jiaxuan sang "The Wind Rises", Tian Fuzhen sang "First Dream", and another girl sang "Fairy Tale".
Only Chen Jiahua sang "Courage" by Liang Jingru. In the end, one of the two girls sang an English song, and the other sang "Listen to the Sea" by Zhang Huimei.
As the original singer, if Cao Xuan is asked to evaluate, Ren Jiaxuan will perform the best, and this is indeed the case. The last few judges unanimously gave her the championship.
After the championship was decided, several girls were either excited or disappointed. After the host also comforted them, it was finally time to award the award. Wu Zongxian introduced it in an extremely exaggerated tone.
"Then let's solemnly invite today's award-winning guest, who is also the Asian pop king Cao Xuan who is very popular throughout Asia!"
Cao Xuan got goosebumps when he heard it backstage, but he still showed a smile and came out holding the trophy.
The moment he came out, the judges, contestants, hosts and the audience all let out deafening screams and cheers.
Cao Xuan didn't know how much of this was a bastard, but looking at the reactions of several players, it was clear that they were unaware, especially Ren Jiaxuan, who was almost dumbfounded when she looked at him.
He also heard it just now. This girl is his fan. This time she participated in the competition. Except for one song in the rematch that was used by someone else and she was forced to sing another singer's song, all the other stages used Cao Xuan's songs.
"Classmate Ren Jiaxuan, congratulations on winning the championship."
Cao Xuan stuffed the trophy into Ren Jiaxuan's hand, and the girl realized it. She covered her mouth and cried with excitement. Then she thought about meeting her idol and couldn't help but be happy. Finally, she cried and laughed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Everyone still understands Ren Jiaxuan's performance, especially Cao Xuan's fans. If they use themselves to save others, they may not be as good as her performance.
Fortunately, Ren Jiaxuan calmed down quickly, but she still couldn't help but make a request.
"Can I hug you, just a little."
Cao Xuan fulfilled her wish, and Ren Jiaxuan let go of her hand, waving her fist with nostalgia and joy: "My sister must be jealous of me."
Tian Fu was really envious, and he came over and asked to hug Cao Xuan.
Well, she can be considered a fan of Cao Xuan, but not as die-hard as Ren Jiaxuan.
Cao Xuan nodded in agreement, and the other four beautiful girls also came over to ask for hugs. The award ceremony turned into a fan meeting for Cao Xuan, and the last two female hosts came to join in the fun.
When the call was called, Cao Xuan, in order not to overwhelm the guests, left the stage after hugging and awarding the awards, and called Xiao Zhou to prepare to leave. Before leaving, he saw him glancing at the stage several times.
Looking along the line of sight, it seems to be Tian Fuzhen.
Cao Xuan slapped his head, yes, there seemed to be scandals between these two.
It is said in later generations that Jay Chou gave his first love to Cai Yilin, his affection to Hou Peiqing, his romance to Tian Fuzhen, and his commitment to Kunlin.
In addition, there are Vivian Hsu, Wen Lan, Lai Weiru, Jiang Yuchen Balabala.
Looking at it this way, Xiao Zhou's ability to create scandals is no worse than that of Big Brother...
………
After the two left, the recording of the final program over there ended. Ren Jiaxuan and others wanted to ask Cao Xuan for an autograph, but were told that Cao Xuan had left. They were very disappointed.
At this time, Wu Zongxian handed over an envelope: "Cao Xuan asked me to hand it over to you. It can be regarded as a final gift for you."
"What is this?"
Several people were confused, but Chen Jiahua, who has a straightforward personality, opened the envelope and took out six rectangular tickets.
"Ah ah, these are tickets for Cao Xuan's concert."
"It's in the VIP area. It's so hard to grab. My classmate asked someone to buy one for 5,000 Taiwan dollars."
"(⊙o⊙)Wow, brother Cao Xuan is so generous."
“It’s very thoughtful, and he even prepared gifts for us.”
"What should I do if I really like him? If I confess my love to him, will he agree?"
"I agree, you're a big-headed guy. I'm a big star, how could I fall in love with a nymphomaniac like you?"
"You are the nymphomaniac. Don't think I didn't see you hugging him just now and keeping pressing against him."
"You want to stick it on the washboard?"
"..."
Several people were noisy and divided the tickets faster than the other. Ren Jiaxuan and Tian Fuzhen had a good relationship and took the initiative to invite her to watch together.
Chen Jiahua looked at the others who were about to start a fight and raised his hands to join the small group.
It was supposed to take a week for the trio to officially become a group, but because of Cao Xuan's concert, they formed teammates in advance.
