Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the place that was originally so hot, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on him.
Some people even regarded him as a nuisance, and there were some who made fun of him. Liu Huan had been in the industry for decades and had performed thousands of times, but this was the first time he had been treated like this.
The mentality of ordinary people would be broken, but Lao Jianghu is Lao Jianghu. When the first song was not received, he gave up the second originally planned song and directly sang one of his most popular songs "Start Over".
The influence of this song can also be regarded as DNA level.
Especially during the restructuring wave in the past few years, no matter whether they were laid off or engaged in business, everyone would sing this song to boost their spirits. Liu Huan's singing immediately brought the situation back.
During Liu Huan's third song, Cao Xuan still did not appear. This was the only time in today's concert that he was not included in three consecutive songs.
However, Cao Xuan did not appear, but four new faces appeared, Li Xuejian, Zang Jinsheng, Ding Haifeng, and Zhao Xiaorui, four Liangshan heroes. They are also the actors with whom Cao Xuan has the best relationship in "Water Margin".
When they see them come out, everyone knows what the next song will be.
Sure enough, Liu Huan took the lead in singing his most popular song "Song of a Hero".
None of Li Xuejian was a professional singer, not to mention facing an audience of 100,000. He was very nervous and could not sing well, but everyone understood and gave encouraging applause.
Especially many fans who know Cao Xuan know that these people have a good relationship with Cao Xuan and helped him a lot when he first debuted.
Especially Li Xuejian, he worshiped his master.
As a result, Lao Li has a very high status in the hearts of fans. In the past, his brother-in-law and other top artists competed, but Li Xuejian is a relatively low-key kind, and his popularity is far less than that of charming mature men like Wang Zhiwen and Chen Daoming.
But now that I have a good apprentice, no one is afraid of quarreling.
After all, no matter how many mature male fans he has, he is just a younger brother compared to the fan base of the Asian King...
After Liu Huan finished singing "Song of a Heroic Man", he stepped down from the stage, but the remaining four people did not leave.
Cao Xuan returned to the stage, pulled four guests and said: "Many people know that I first debuted on the crew of "Water Margin". Before that, I was just a small group actor. After I came to the crew, many people in the crew
My teacher and brother take good care of me, and I am very grateful. Let me introduce it to you in a grand way.
"This is Ding Ge Ding Haifeng, the one who beat me to death from Wu Song in "Water Margin"."
"Teacher Zhao Xiaorui, Black Tornado Li Kui, a very generous teacher."
"Brother Zang, Zang Jinsheng, is the captain of our "Water Margin" cast team. He takes great care of me in the team."
"My mentor, Mr. Li Xuejian, was Song Jiang from "Water Margin". After the TV series was aired, we were the two of us who were scolded the most. The relationship between master and disciple was forged at that time."
Today is Cao Xuan's home court, and it's a very honorable one. Every introduction of someone will receive warm applause and cheers from the audience, and the four guests also wave in greeting.
Cao Xuan waited for them to finish their interaction before speaking again: "In addition to these teachers and elder brothers, there are also teachers Li Mingqi, Wang Siyi, Song Wenhua, Brother Song, Director Zhang Zhaowen, Director Kang Honglei and Kang, producer Zhang Jizhong and many other senior teachers.
Help, I'm very grateful.
The crew of "Water Margin" has always had a special place in my heart, which is why I invited some teachers and brothers to come over today. I want "Water Margin" to witness today's achievements and remind myself not to forget my original intention."
There was a wave of applause on and off the stage, and Cao Xuan was also a little embarrassed.
""Countless Brothers" is dedicated to everyone. Just listen to the song and don't worry about why Ximen Qing is with the hero of Liangshan."
Amid laughter, Cao Xuan and the guests sang a song called "Countless Brothers".
Frankly speaking, this song is one of Cao Xuan's less well-known works. Apart from those tool songs, this one is not very well-known.
But in Cao Xuan's heart, this is the first song he has "written", and it is also the first step towards a turning point in life. It is a song with special significance.
That's why on today's occasion, he invited his master Li Xuejian and several friends from the "Water Margin" crew to sing this song together.
In a sense, it is a dream come true.
After singing this song, it was already past ten o'clock. The concert had been held for more than four hours. Cao Xuan was already very tired. He couldn't sing the more passionate songs, so he could only sing some soothing ones.
"500 fans"
This song is Cao Xuan's only English song, and it is also one of his most popular songs at this stage.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has to say that the idea that "foreign monks like to chant sutras" is deeply rooted in the Chinese music scene.
After his adaptation of "500 Mysteries" premiered in Singapore, it spread to China through channels and became extremely popular.
Although the popularity of the song is average because it is an English song, the on-demand rate is extremely high, and the music critics also praised it, not to mention the fans.
Among ordinary passers-by, the song is really good, and coupled with the overall praise environment, they are not aware of it, and they praise the song "500 Mysteries" very highly.
English songs represent "tallness".
Cao Xuan didn't like this atmosphere, or even resented it, but he had to admit that he reaped the dividends of this atmosphere.
As soon as "500 Mysteries" came out, coupled with the enthusiastic feedback from the two concerts in Singapore and Malaysia, Cao Xuan gained a lot of aura.
Although he has not reached the level of an international star, he is still different from many ordinary big-name singers in China.
Apart from other things, Cao Xuan’s previous music writing and production expenses were only 300,000 to 500,000 yuan per song. Although it was expensive but not marketable, at least it had a range.
After Cao Xuan became the Asian King and released "500 Mysteries", the price doubled.
It's hard to tell whether this is because Cao Xuan's fame has expanded or because he "began to go global."
International, these two words are very valuable in the entertainment industry at this stage.
The film superstars Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Fa Ge, and Liu Tianwang have varying salaries because of whether they have "entered the international market."
Those who make it to Hollywood will be paid in U.S. dollars, and they may not be able to hire people. Those who don't make it can only get paid in RMB, and the amount is still far from enough.
Not to mention this shortcoming at this stage, it will not change much until more than ten years later. Even in the traffic era, local fresh meat is not as expensive as others returning from abroad...
If you want to truly straighten your back, you have to wait for national strength to rise. Although there are still some people who have been kneeling for a long time and cannot get up, more people no longer blindly pursue Europe and the United States.
Before that, Cao Xuan could only recruit more European and American talents, bully those European and American singers, and arouse the confidence of his fans.
What's so great about these foreign devils? They were still being pushed to the ground and rubbed by my brother.
"500 Mysteries" and several other slow songs, the time has reached eleven o'clock. Cao Xuan is tired from singing, and the audience below is also tired, but there are still not many people who want to leave.
Now that the harsh words had been released, Cao Xuan had no choice but to call the guests out to return to the scene because he couldn't hold it any longer.
After finishing all his own songs, he started singing songs by other singers. Finally, he got desperate and Cao Xuan also performed a duet with "Exploring Qingshui River".
As an actor, you often need to practice imitating some dialects and speaking, and as a singer, you need to understand more types of music.
Many singers like to listen to symphonies, operas, etc. to cultivate their sentiments and absorb inspiration. Cao Xuan is not very interested in these and prefers local dialect tunes.
Over time, I have also developed a small unique skill, and I can imitate some local folk arts, such as Northeast Errenzhuan, Yunnan folk songs, Yimeng minors, and Jinmen Allegro.
Not to mention Peking Opera, Zeng Damei was born in Qingyi, and Cao Xuan is an authentic family heirloom.
The level is not very high, and I don't dare to show off in front of experts, but it is enough to deal with some laymen.
Not to mention, Errenzhuan and "Exploring Qingshui River" immediately shocked the audience when they came out.
I don’t know if there will be anyone who can sing folk tunes in concerts in the future. At this stage, Cao Xuan is definitely the first person...
Even though they were talking and singing, Cao Xuan was asked to perform a stand-up comedy, which lasted until twelve o'clock in the morning.
Due to the combination of coldness and mental and physical exhaustion, the audience began to be unable to bear it any longer and began to retreat one after another. Cao Xuan realized that it was almost over.
"The last song is one of my favorites. Many seniors have sung it, and it fits my current state of mind. The farewell today is also for seeing you again in the future. I hope we can walk more paths together.
"To Everyone Who Knows My Name" is given to everyone. I hope you will cherish it. The mountains are high and the road is far. See you again in the world."
With that said, Cao Xuan picked up the phone, coughed slightly, soothed his burning and sore throat, and spoke softly.
"Once again I am drowned in applause
You are so excited in front of me
in the dark
The world seems to have stopped turning
Our hearts can embrace each other without using both hands
…
Please dance your hands for me again
I'll know where you are in that corner
Look at life in a hurry
May we share the glory
May our dreams never come true
…”
Looking at Cao Xuan singing with a smile on the stage, all the fans present silently waved their hands along with the singing, and many emotional female fans even shed tears.
The performance started with passion, heated up the audience, and ended with warmth at the end. Today's Temple of Heaven concert is destined to be an unforgettable night for many people.
Cao Xuan stood on the stage and watched all the audience leave. After thanking the team and personnel on duty, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
Many of the supporting guests were tired, so the thank you banquet was canceled. Cao Xuan didn't stay any longer. After expressing his gratitude, he directly arranged a car to send them off.
After most of the work was done, Cao Xuan was no longer willing to speak. With watermelon frost in his mouth, he used text messages to persuade the three brothers Cao Shuangguo to keep it secret.
Today, the three old Cao brothers, who were looking at their son/nephew's fame and glory, wished they could give Cao Xuan, the pillar of the Cao family, as a gift. Although Cao Shuangguo had some objections, he still agreed to the request.
But the premise is that if Sun Lan is exposed in the future, Cao Xuan will be blamed.
That night, Cao Xuan used an excuse to wrap up the concert, but actually went to comfort Zeng Damei.
Watching Zeng Li shine brightly on Cao Xuan's stage tonight, I was very emotional. As soon as I walked in, I was obsessed with Cao Xuan.
Poor official Cao was so tired on stage that he had to pay the public rations when he got home. He was exposed to the wind and cold at night. He lost his energy and sweated every time he exercised, and he had a fever the next day.
Embarrassed, Miss Zeng's disheveled service allowed Cao Xuan to live the life of a high official for two more days.
While he was recuperating and resting, the outside world also exploded because of his historic concert...
