188 The arrogant international chapter and the advent of popular prosperity
CCTV
Cao Xuan found his own dressing room with familiarity. It was the same one from last year, and the backstage was the best.
"Teacher Cao, it's like this..."
The assistant director came over to discuss the rehearsal process in person. Cao Xuan took note of it, put on makeup with the makeup artist, and went to visit the dock first.
It is said that he wants to pay homage to the dock, but with Cao Xuan's current status and qualifications in the Spring Festival Gala, except for a few people, there is really no one he can "wish" to.
Compared with the previous two years, Cao Xuan was already the top performer in the 2001 song and dance program, and was one of the singers supporting the Spring Festival Gala. In terms of pure popularity, he could even be removed from the list.
Therefore, visiting the pier is just a joke. It should be more of a visit, mainly to chat with old friends.
We have participated in many Spring Festival Galas together, and we still have some friendship, but our careers do not overlap and there is no intersection. There is no time on the day of the official performance, and the rehearsal time and personnel are uncertain, so we can only find time to see each other during the last rehearsal.
After visiting old acquaintances, Cao Benxuan also wanted to visit Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung. These two won the Cannes Grand Prix for "In the Mood for Love" and were invited by the Spring Festival Gala to sing a song together.
But after thinking about it later, Cao Xuan still didn’t go.
We are not in the same circle, and there is no need to force ourselves together. Last year's Li Tianwang was because he had the feelings of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Of these two, Maggie Cheung is okay, but he really has no feelings for the Best Actor Liang...
I just came back from visiting other dressing rooms when I bumped into someone who came to him to pay homage to the dock.
"Hey, isn't this a big star coming back from Hollywood?"
Cao Xuan looked at Jiu Zhang, who was wearing a down jacket, and couldn't help but joked.
That's right, the International Chapter will be on the Spring Festival Gala again this year.
On the one hand, the background is awesome, and on the other hand, the performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is indeed very impressive. Immediately afterwards, International Chapter announced that it will join Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 2".
It can be said that it is very popular right now. It is coming from behind and catching up with Little Swallow. It is not difficult to grab a spot for the Spring Festival Gala.
"How can I compare with you? I'm already on the cover of Time Magazine."
Ji Ji Zhang rolled his eyes at him, found a chair to sit down, and complained a little.
"It's better for you to have a special dressing room, but we all have to share it with other people."
"No, you and Chen Haonan don't even have a dressing room?"
Cao Xuan was a little surprised. International Chapter is a popular little girl, and Zheng Yijian is also considered top-notch in Hong Kong. The two of them were ranked first in this year's Spring Festival Gala, but they were not assigned a separate dressing room.
"I'm trying to find a singer, and that's Xie Yuxin."
The International Chapter seems to be resentful about this, and is a little unhappy when it comes to mentioning it.
In fact, it is understandable that the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala is also a small arena. Whether or not there is a dedicated dressing room directly reflects an artist's status, reputation and qualifications in the circle.
Last year, the international chapter participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. It was as humble as a gangster. It couldn't even fit in the shared dressing room. The unified dressing room was used up and the waiting room was in the lobby and corridor.
I went to Hollywood this year, my net worth doubled, and I got Brother Haonan. I thought I could get a private dressing room and feel proud.
As a result, when I shared it with others, I couldn't get up or down, and my enthusiasm turned into depression.
But you can't make a fuss. Many old artists share the dressing room. You, a newly popular artist, can use whatever you want.
No matter how big-name you try, you can't trick CCTV unless you don't want to mess around anymore?
Cao Xuan did not agree, he knew that Xie Yuxin.
The boss behind the crew of "Love to the End" who originally spent money to buy him "Light Chaser" was her boyfriend.
There was a certain reason why this drama was originally created to promote her to the top. Later, she even went to Cao Xuan to buy the copyright and released a version of "Light Chaser" with a female voice.
It is worth mentioning that this boyfriend is actually a fugitive who has made hundreds of millions in anonymity and is considered a talent.
However, he was later caught and also implicated Xie Yuxin. In fact, this person has never been very popular and was barely considered a second-tier singer at her peak.
This is already her second time attending the Spring Festival Gala. Her qualifications are not inferior to those of the International Chapter, so sharing a dressing room is normal.
Of course, it could also be that Cao Xuan's back hurts when he stands and talks. After all, he has always had a separate dressing room since the Spring Festival Gala and has never felt this state of mind.
Oops, I accidentally happened again...
International Chapter came here this time not only to visit the pier, but mainly to build relationships, so they mentioned it while chatting.
"Looking for an opportunity, I organized a gathering of some classmates from our class. It has been almost a year since graduation and I miss them very much."
"I want to get together."
Cao Xuan was confused, I'm not a classmate of yours, why are you talking to me about the party?
"Aren't you a family member? Come and have fun together."
"Farewell, I won't mess with your classmates' gathering."
Cao Xuan shook his head wildly, joking, not to mention whether those two were going or not, even if they were going, who do they count as family members? This was not just looking for trouble after being stuffed to the brim.
The international chapter said that it was boring. She was organizing this class reunion, and to be honest, Cao Xuan was the one running away.
Otherwise, except for Hu Jing Shangke, among those in Class 96, she really didn't pay attention to them for the time being.
She actually wanted to have a private date with Cao Xuan, but she was afraid of shocking others, so she could only beat around the bush and set up a class reunion to get closer, and slowly work her way through it.
The purpose is also very simple. At this stage, International Chapter can be regarded as one of the most popular artists among the new generation in the industry. Even in terms of overseas influence, except for a few people such as Cao Xuan, no one can match it.
But in terms of fame and nationality, she is the worst among these little flowers, and it all depends on the media.
So the International Chapter took aim at Cao Xuan.
This is the King of Asia who has held concerts with tens of thousands of people in Asia and has been recognized by Time Magazine and CCTV.
Really popular fried chicken!
The new generation Cao Xuan ranks second in fame, popularity and influence, and no one dares to boast of being first.
Even the little swallows that are so popular in Asia are at best on par, or even slightly inferior.
Therefore, the International Chapter wants to ride on Cao Xuan's popularity, whether it's acting together, spreading scandals, or even forming an "International CP", in short, it's all about bundling and exposure.
In the original time and space, Brother Cheng Long helped a lot, and now there is a young and beautiful Cao Xuan. She naturally wants to make good use of him, and she also hopes to take advantage of this to hit the music scene.
Even in her mind, it was best to fake it with Cao Xuan, even if she sacrificed some Hollywood resources for it, it was still cost-effective, after all, she still had Lao Mouzi.
Moreover, when he was with Cao Xuan, he didn't delay getting in touch with Cheng Long, the popular king and Xiaohua, so the eldest brother also had to give him some face.
However, the international chapter had a beautiful idea, but Cao Xuan had no intention of cooperating.
Alyssa Chia has a big boss behind her, Fan Xiaopang helps with the scenes, and Cao Xuan has the foreshadowing to sign people.
Jiujiazhang is a member of the film industry. Cao Xuan and she have no connection at all. Fanxing is not making movies now, and she does not have the resources behind her that Cao Xuan is interested in.
"Hero"? Unless Lao Maozi is willing to change Jet Li.
Hollywood? She herself is struggling.
Just for shame? The two most beautiful girls in a dormitory were taken down by Cao Xuan. Why did she think she could counterattack the school beauties?
Unless International Zhang is willing to make a TV series, Fanxing doesn’t have a suitable script for her.
So the international chapter desperately wanted to catch Kaizi, but Cao Xuan really had no intention of hooking up with her. Today, he was talking and laughing with her because of the favor of the two palaces.
Otherwise, it would have been a polite but awkward smile, a standard communication process.
"Hello, Miss Zhang."
"Hehehe."
"Miss Zhang, goodbye."
Seeing Ji Ji Zhang leaving in depression, Cao Xuan scratched his head inexplicably: "Why do I feel that she is different from before?"
"It's a little different."
"You can see it too? What's the difference?"
Cao Xuan looked at Zhang Chong playfully. In the past few years, he had followed him around and around, dealing with people and dealing with people. His eyesight and character had also improved. He was no longer the small group actor who always missed his girlfriend every day.
"There is a lot of arrogance, and the words are Hollywood and the Oscars, which makes people feel uncomfortable."
"Hahaha."
Cao Xuan laughed, where did the nickname "International Chapter" come from? It was Zhang Ziyi's arrogance. He went to Hollywood and looked down on the domestic circles.
She is open-mouthed and silent, working with international directors, Hollywood Barabara, arrogant and domineering, and was given a nickname by netizens to ridicule her.
In fact, Cao Xuan is also arrogant, and sometimes he will inevitably look down on someone, but he can pretend, at least in front of the public.
Occasionally, Versailles will be published in a joking manner, which is relatively easier to be accepted by the public.
In the Chinese people's philosophy of life, most people prefer a humble and low-key character. "Young and energetic" is not a complimentary word in the dictionary.
In fact, it's fine if you are arrogant. Talking about Hollywood is a bit of a "fascination with foreigners".
In the fourth battle, before Xiaoyanzi was cool, except for Xu Cainü, who was forced to tie up, she was the least popular in the international chapter.
The lack of popularity of hit TV series is one of the reasons. Being too mundane in life and doing things is also an important black point.
Similarly, although Fan, Li, and Zhao are all trying their best to squeeze into Hollywood, people will say that they will not arouse public resentment.
In addition to the International Chapter, many singers came to pay homage to the pier, including Yu Quan and Taiwanese queen Li Wen, who was attending the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.
In the past two years in the rankings, Cao Xuan has had a lot of dealings with Li Wen, but this is the first time for him to communicate in private. He has a good temper, at least in front of Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan specially went to watch her show. Good guy, she sang for almost 5 minutes. The most amazing thing was that she was carried out on a sofa and sang while lying down. It was really impressive.
But what caught his attention more was Li Wen's style and dancing, which were fiery, unrestrained and full of enthusiasm, which was rarely seen in previous Spring Festival Galas.
It can be seen that the Spring Festival Gala is gradually relaxing some restrictions and further moving closer to the current trend.
As a pop singer, Cao Xuan is happy to see such positive changes.
This is not just a question of how many pop songs there are in the Spring Festival Gala, but also represents the official attitude in a sense and the rising status of pop music.
The heyday of pop music in mainland China is really coming...
ps: Recommend this friend’s book "From House Idol to Entertainment Superstar"
I have read the book, and the name may be a bit confusing (laughs), but the writing is really good and the writing style is very delicate. If you are interested, you can read it. The introduction and portal are in the author's words.
