185 'Time' cover character and first appearance on 'News Network'
That night, after the concert ended, Cao Xuan hosted the CCTV team and several supporting guests and tasted Singaporean food.
CCTV also took the opportunity to interview Sun Yanzi and Zhou Jielun. Although they were Cao Xuan's supporters, they were still on CCTV.
For artists like them who have just debuted, it is also a good exposure benefit.
It happened that Sun Yanzi's family came to visit the class, and Cao Xuan also had a chat with Sun's father.
Sun Yanzi's family conditions are considered very favorable even in Singapore.
My father is a university professor, my mother is a teacher, my sister is an employee of an investment bank in Singapore, and will be a vice president in the future. My sister is still in school, but will become a master of medicine in the future. The whole family is an elite.
Sun's father was an open-minded person and supported his daughter's career. He also thanked Cao Xuan for his help to Sun Yanzi and warmly invited Cao Xuan to visit his home. However, Cao Xuan was going to Malaysia soon and could only decline.
However, Cao Xuan still left Sun's father's contact information. When he came to Singapore this time, he had a good impression of the local environment and conditions.
Cao Xuan has always had the idea of buying property overseas, not for immigration purposes, but to prepare for a rainy day.
The two girlfriends don't have to get married, but they have to keep the child from being born. If the domestic hospitals can't settle the situation, Cao Xuan plans to go overseas.
Europe and the United States are too far away for him to take care of me, but the medical conditions in Hong Kong or Singapore are not bad, and the key is that they are close, so they are a good choice.
Even if you don't use it, it's good to take a vacation once in a while. It radiates throughout Southeast Asia and is a good leisure center.
Moreover, the area of Singapore is limited, so even if it is used as an investment property, you can definitely make a profit without losing money.
Of course, it's just an idea at the moment, and Cao Xuan doesn't necessarily have to go through Sun's father to buy a house, but it doesn't hurt to have a local acquaintance to help clear the mines.
After spending one night in Singapore, we were going to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the next day.
Xiao Zhou saw reports about Cao Xuan at the airport and bought a few copies.
The first one is the report on last night's concert by Singapore's authoritative Chinese media "Singapore Lianhe Zaobao".
The article didn't say much, it just objectively described last night's concert.
Then he said that Cao Xuan's influence in Singapore is directly catching up with the older generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars. He is currently the most popular artist in Singapore among the new generation of China, even surpassing many Singaporean artists working in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
This kind of authoritative media is more restrained in criticizing each other, while some entertainment tabloids are more exaggerated.
The crowds were huge, the seats were packed, the scene was astonishing, and countless fans were intoxicated by Cao Xuan's singing. They fell into madness, and some even fainted from excitement and were taken to the hospital by ambulance for rescue.
Cao Xuan strongly suspected that this was a draft bought by Warner Bros.
Anyway, he has never heard of a fan fainting, otherwise Warner would have arranged for him to visit, which would not only establish a good image as a fan, but also heat up the topic.
I read several newspapers, but apart from the "Singapore Lianhe Zaobao", only one English newspaper with his photo caught Cao Xuan's attention.
The above highly praised the song "500 Miles" that Cao Xuan sang at yesterday's concert.
At the end, the author also regretfully said that there is no finished product outside the world, and he has no channel to watch it on demand.
Cao Xuan has nothing to do about this. He can only wait for Phoenix Satellite TV to release the concert video, which will probably be available on demand.
The English premiere was a good one. Cao Xuan was so happy that he slept comfortably on the plane and rushed to the venue after getting off the plane.
Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia and also the political, cultural and commercial center of Malaysia. The infrastructure is also very complete.
It has the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, one of the top ten stadiums in the world.
This stadium can accommodate 100,000 people, which perfectly meets Cao Xuan's venue needs. Unfortunately, Cao Xuan did not build such a large venue in Malaysia.
His concert was held at the Merdeka Stadium, a name that many Chinese fans are familiar with, and the national football team suffered a lot here.
But then again, there really aren't many stadiums where the national football team doesn't fail.
When it comes to the blessed places for the national football team, there are only a few. When it comes to the sad places for the national football team, the list is long...
This stadium can accommodate 50,000 people, but Cao Xuan and Warner only held a venue for 30,000 people, and all of them were sold out. If it were not for time constraints, Warner would even consider selling more.
This concert was the most relaxing one for Cao Xuan personally.
After all, after the previous few performances, the experience has been gained. In addition, after singing this performance, you can go back to your country to rest. As you get closer to "getting off work", your mentality will naturally be better.
Malaysian fans also support Cao Xuan very much, and even in terms of friendliness, Cao Xuan feels that they are more friendly than those in Singapore.
After the concert, Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi and other supporting guests went back to their homes. Cao Xuan himself was not in a hurry to return to China, but went to the Malaysian National Television to participate in a program.
Later, he met the deputy editor of the Asia editorial department of Time Magazine in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Warner had contacted Time Magazine before, but the editorial department did not write an article directly. Instead, it sent the deputy editor and two editors to follow Cao Xuan from Taiwan to Malaysia to witness Cao Xuan’s Asia tour concert.
The Asia editorial department of Time Magazine upgraded the originally planned report from a general interview to an exclusive interview, and later upgraded it to a cover interview.
They plan to put Cao Xuan on the cover of the next issue of Time Magazine's Asian edition, and the title is ready.
"Chinese Storm, the New Generation of Asian Pop King"
As the most influential news media in the United States, Time Magazine is very influential around the world. Every celebrity is proud to be on the cover of Time Magazine.
The same is true for the Chinese.
In other words, the reason why the cover of "Time Magazine" is so popular in China is because the people who appeared on the cover before were all the top figures in the country.
Even when the names are listed, there may be a 404...
Before the 1990s, those who appeared on domestic covers were basically political and economic figures. It was not until 1996 that Gong Li became the first Chinese artist to be featured.
The second one is Wang Fei, who is also the first to appear on the cover of the Asian edition. She is considered the "Queen of Pop Music" by Time Magazine.
The third one is Cheng Long. The eldest brother became famous in Hollywood with "Rush Hour" and was named "Mr. Hollywood" by "Time Magazine".
Then there is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which will be released in the United States in the second half of this year. The two leading actors, Fa Ge and Michelle Yeoh, jointly appear on the cover of "Time Magazine".
The latter is a Malaysian Chinese, so only Fa Ge is considered a Chinese artist.
In fact, Gong Li later became a Singaporean national, but she is still an out-and-out Chinese.
It can be seen from the above that those who can appear on the cover of Time Magazine are top superstars in the Chinese entertainment industry, and they must also have a certain degree of overseas influence.
And if nothing goes wrong, Cao Xuan will become the fifth and second superstar to appear on the cover of the Asian version of Time Magazine.
Yes, to be recognized by an authoritative overseas media such as Time Magazine, Cao Xuan can already be called a superstar.
Regardless of other considerations, just in terms of fame, Cao Xuan has become one of the top people in the Chinese entertainment industry.
It is said to be an exclusive interview, but many things are mainly introductions, and there is not much real conversation content.
Cao Xuan was very calm when facing the deputy editor of "Times", which surprised the deputy editor.
"Cao, why aren't you nervous?"
"First, don't call me Cao. This is ambiguous in our country. Second, this is just an interview, why should I be nervous."
When Cao Xuan heard someone calling him "Cao", his blood pressure rose sharply. It was too difficult to pronounce this surname alone, but foreigners couldn't pronounce "Xuan", so he was thinking about whether to choose an English name.
Otherwise, if he holds a concert abroad one day, tens of thousands of people will shout "fuck" at the top of their lungs.
The picture is so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it!
The deputy editor did not dwell on the name, but continued to ask: "I have interviewed some Asian celebrities, and even European and American celebrities, and they all feel nervous to varying degrees when they realize that they are about to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.
But I don’t see it in you at all, don’t you think this is an honor?”
"Maybe. I'm actually quite happy, but I'm not too nervous. In my opinion, this is just an interview, and there is no need to go to war."
"Cao, I have to say, I admire your mentality."
The deputy editor looked admiringly, feeling that Cao Xuan was unfazed by favors and humiliations and had the air of a general.
But what he didn't know was that shortly after he left, when Cao Xuan rushed to the hotel conference room to accept another interview, he was not as calm as before, and his expression was slightly solemn.
But Cao Xuan also said that when the "Times" thing didn't appear, he might have thought about it eagerly, but if he was sure to be on the cover, it felt like that.
Besides, it was an interview with a print media, and Warner was keeping the whole story, so there was really nothing to be nervous about.
But the interview he followed was different. "Xinwen Lianbo", the most watched program in China, was the first official mouthpiece of national television.
Facing an audience of 5.6 billion, and even being seen by some big shots, could Cao Xuan not be nervous?
Two consecutive successful overseas concerts in Singapore and Malaysia confirmed Cao Xuan's influence as the King of Asia, and also allowed him to land on "News Network" for the first time.
He is here to prepare, mainly to share his thoughts on this trip to Asia, and then to vigorously advocate and promote Chinese pop culture bala bala.
After the interview video was shot, the team from "Chia Tai Variety Show" directly sent it to the CCTV main station. The video totaled more than ten minutes, but I don't know how many minutes it can be kept.
That night, Cao Xuan specially found a TV that could receive CCTV signals and stayed in front of the TV to watch "Xinwen Lianbo".
Around 7:10, footage of Cao Xuan's concerts in Malaysia and Singapore appeared, with the female host introducing the background sound.
"A few days ago, our young singer Cao Xuan held many concerts in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, all of which were successful. He is also the first new generation singer in our country to gain widespread influence in Asia..."
The concert was introduced, and then switched to the scene of Cao Xuan's interview. The ten-minute video was cut to only a few dozen seconds, which is the part where Cao Xuan advocates the promotion of Chinese culture.
But even so, the two periods of time add up to more than one minute, which is considered a long news story in "Xinwen Lianbo".
It's hard to say how effective the publicity will be, but "Xinwen Lianbo" was able to spare more than a minute, which means that Cao Xuan's Asian tour concert has definitely shown the official attitude.
This is the most important thing!
In Cao Xuan's heart, this one-minute report is more valuable than being on the cover of Time Magazine...
