242 The Deserving Big Brother in the New Generation Music Circle
September 30, Star City
Cao Xuan came from the airport and took a car directly to Hunan TV Station. He met the producer and host of "Happy Camp" backstage.
"Sorry, the flight was a little delayed, keeping everyone waiting for a long time."
"It doesn't matter, the time is just right, there is still some time before the live broadcast."
Yes, Happy Camp in 2001 was still live broadcast, and in some sessions, audience members outside the venue called in to ask questions to the guests.
This is also one of the early highlights of "Happy Camp", with strong interactivity inside and outside the venue.
But later, after revisions and other reasons, it was changed to pre-recorded and broadcasted uniformly.
Of course, it is said to be a live broadcast, but some sessions are recorded in advance. If something unexpected happens, it can be edited at any time.
The live broadcast was less than three hours away, and Cao Xuan still had to put on makeup and edit the script. The time was still quite tight, so everyone could only walk around and get to know each other.
Li Xiang, who had met Cao Xuan once at the Golden Eagle Awards, was considered an acquaintance and introduced them to both parties.
"This is He Dan, the host of our "Happy Camp", and this is Li Weijia."
"Hello, Teacher He, hello Vega, you're right, I remember Vega is younger than me."
"You know me?"
Li Weijia was a little flattered. No matter what he said, He Dan had hosted "Happy Camp" for three years and was a relatively well-known entertainment host in China. It was not surprising that Cao Xuan knew him.
Although he is also one of the hosts, he did not become an official member of the hosting team until this year. Before that, he had been an on-location host and his reputation was relatively weak.
Even if many people could call him by name, they would not know his age like Cao Xuan.
"I've watched your show and I'm half a fan."
Cao Xuan's words are really not polite. The quality of "Happy Camp" at this stage is still relatively reliable, and there are not many good entertainment programs in the mainland. Cao Xuan has watched a few episodes if he has time.
"That's really an honor for us. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will invite you to come and participate in the program more often."
"Definitely next time."
Cao Xuan and He Dan chatted happily, and Li Xiang and Li Weijia, who responded next to them, were also talking and laughing.
It has to be said that as one of the few evergreens who has been popular in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years and has many connections, He Dan's emotional intelligence is indeed high.
When he communicates with you, you will feel like a spring breeze. He not only makes you feel friendly, but also has a good sense of social distance, making you feel comfortable talking without feeling embarrassed due to excessive enthusiasm.
All details are taken care of clearly, thoughtfully and warmly, making people think that he really wants to make friends with you and will always consider you.
This is a kind of charm and a "real skill" that ordinary people cannot learn and imitate.
Many people overestimate Xie Na's contribution to "Happy Camp", and you think she is the core of the show's real success.
Cao Xuan does not deny that Xie Na brought a lot of comedy elements to this show, but the core of it is He Dan who deserves to be the centerpiece.
Even Cao Xuan was lucky that he came early this time, and Xie Na and Du Haitao had not yet joined "Happy Camp".
To be more precise, Xie Na once used the stage name Ye Zi and served as a substitute host for a period of time in the 2000s. Because his style was too crazy and out-of-the-box, he was dissatisfied by many viewers and subsequently left.
Otherwise, if these two people were here, Cao Xuan was really not sure whether this variety show trip would be as harmonious as it is now.
Cao Xuan didn't hate Xie Na, but he was particularly uncomfortable with her style. If he was asked to interact with her, he would feel awkward and speechless.
As for Duma, it’s just disgusting and annoying when I see it...
………
Cao Xuan was putting on makeup while communicating with the hosts, mainly He Dan and Li Xiang. Li Weijia could only follow and praise them now.
When other guests at the same time heard that Cao Xuan was coming, they also came over to say hello.
Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun and Wang Lihong.
Originally, Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou came together to do a Chinese style show, but later they felt that there were too few people and Xiao Zhou was too introverted to have fun.
It happened that Warner also wanted Sun Yanzi to promote the album, so it added a session to represent the new generation of singers. By the way, Hunan Province Station also invited Wang Lihong, who had just released an album.
The program was divided into two parts. First, they promoted Chinese style, mainly Cao Xuan's album, and then Sun and Wang appeared to promote several people's albums.
This lineup is pretty awesome.
Not to mention Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou, Sun and Wang are all popular singers nowadays.
The former is the most popular female singer of the new generation. She has already begun to challenge Zhang Huimei and Wang Fei, and is known as Asia's Little Queen.
The latter may seem inconspicuous, but among the new generation of male singers, apart from Cao, Ren and Xie, who are currently the most popular, Wang Lihong is the best.
The title song of the new album, "Only", is his second song to break out on a large scale after "Descendants of the Dragon", and it is also one of the few new songs to reach the top ten in September.
Any of the four singers, including Xiao Zhou, who became famous for "Chrysanthemum Terrace", can be the main star of a program. It is not easy to bring the four of them together in "Happy Camp".
Mainly because of Cao Xuan's favor. If he didn't come, Jay Chou would be fine, but the other two might not join in the fun.
Especially for Wang Lihong, the company behind him has always wanted to let him and Cao Xuan share the stage to hype up the concept of "Northern Cao and Southern King". This is a good opportunity.
"Brother Xuan."
"Brother Xuan."
Xiao Zhou and Sun Yanzi are both younger brothers and younger sisters who have been with Cao Xuan. They are familiar with each other and have a good positioning. They call them brother when they meet.
This time, Wang Lihong was fooled. There were three people traveling with him, two of them called him brother, and everyone in the dressing room immediately looked at him.
"Brother Xuan."
"That's too polite, Li Hong."
Cao Xuan immediately hit the snake with a stick. He said he deserves it. Wang Lihong was born in 1976. Although he debuted two years earlier than him in 1995, he really became famous in 1998. He is even weaker than Cao Xuan in terms of age and qualifications.
.
"I wanted to chat with you at the last music festival, but the schedule turned out to be too busy. I'll leave you a call later and we'll get together when we have the chance."
In fact, this is not the first time that the two have met. They have also met in daily activities or award ceremonies, but they have not communicated in detail, so it can be regarded as the first official meeting now.
"Okay, I've always wanted to communicate with you."
Wang Lihong also quickly accepted the reality. As mentioned above, Cao Xuan is more famous than him in terms of age and qualifications, so it is not a shame to call him brother.
Others can't even call if they want to!
The four guests were chatting enthusiastically, and the host did not want to disturb them. He said hello and left first.
On the way back, Li Weijia was still amazed: "Several people suddenly called me Brother Xuan. It really feels like a big brother in the music industry."
"Not a little bit, he is almost like the elder brother of the new generation."
He Dan said with some emotion: "There are basically no singers under the age of 35 who are more accomplished than Cao Xuan, and no one is more popular than him. It's hard to say who is older than him. It's easy to understand for young singers to call them Ge."
"Moreover, Cao Xuan is very protective of newcomers. In my impression, Jay Chou and Sun Yanzi have all been mentored by him, and Jin Haixin and Yu Quan from the Mainland have also received favors. I have interviewed Jin Haixin, and he is also a Xuan brother."
Li Xiang added, and He Dan smiled and said: "It's not just the newcomers, it was Cao Xuan who was the first to speak out about Tian Zhen. He has the courage of a big brother."
Achievements and fame in the entertainment industry are definitely one of the manifestations of status, but if you want to convince everyone to be a big brother, you cannot rely solely on fame and achievements. You must also support newcomers and dare to step up when encountering difficulties.
For example, Cheng Long, many Xiangjiang artists are willing to call him eldest brother, not only because he is famous, but also because many people have been mentored by him. If anything goes wrong, go to Cheng Long and he will help you solve it.
Over time, everyone responded to the call, and everyone agreed that Cheng Long was the representative of Xiangjiang artists. Newcomers who entered the circle would faithfully worship the dock.
Cao Xuan is not yet the Cheng Long of the music industry, but being with the new generation is a bit like Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung facing the Four Heavenly Kings who had just become popular.
Although you are all doing well, you still belong to the junior generation.
And unlike Tan, Zhang was semi-retired at that time, while Cao Xuan is now at the top and is the undisputed number one person in the music world.
The entertainment industry is based on seniority. If the new generation of singers is not called Xuan Ge, should they still be called Xuan Zai?
………
Along with makeup and script editing, it was almost time for the live broadcast. After a little rehearsal, "Happy Camp" officially started live broadcast.
The three hosts make daily announcements, and usually they are complimentary. There are so many big names here today, so the compliments are naturally even more exaggerated.
Asia’s first king!
Pop diva!
A popular singer who is popular across the Taiwan Strait and three places!
A new creative star who shocked the industry!
The names that were eye-catching and dazzling enough made many people at the scene and the audience in front of the TV excited.
This issue of "Happy Camp" has kept some confidentiality for the guests, but it is no different from guaranteeing or not guaranteeing.
Especially Cao Xuan, who "sets off a new trend", "Asia's number one king", "guarantee of ratings", "one of the ten most handsome faces in Asia", everyone who knows something about the entertainment industry knows that he is
he.
Sun Yanzi, the most popular female singer of the new generation, won numerous best new artist awards last year, which is almost like naming her.
The only ones that are more difficult to guess are Jay Chou and Wang Lihong, but many people have guessed it, but they are just not sure.
But no matter how you say it, even with several other candidates, you can see the luxurious lineup of guests in this episode, so the live ratings of this episode of "Happy Camp" have increased rapidly since the launch.
The director team backstage were all crazy with joy. They didn’t care about the first place in the same period, and they were wondering if they could break any record.
With the eager anticipation of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, the door opened. The first one was Jay Chou, who raised the microphone and sang Wang Lihong's "The Only One" with the accompaniment of the band.
"BABY, you are the only one for me. Both worlds are deformed. It's not easy to go back..."
"Ahhhh."
Xiao Zhou has not been famous for a long time, and there were not many fans at the scene, but everyone was still very supportive and cheered warmly.
When Wang Lihong came out second, the cheers and applause suddenly gave Xiao Zhou a lot of attention, not only because of him, but also because of the song he sang.
"Who is playing a song on the pipa? The years are peeling off the wall. When I saw my childhood, I still remember that we were still very young, but now the sound of the piano is faint. You have never heard of my waiting..."
After Wang Lihong finished singing a chorus, Sun Yanzi appeared for the third time. She sang "Chrysanthemum Terrace" by Jay Chou, which set off a new climax in the studio.
"It turns out that you are the luck I want to keep the most. It turns out that we were so close to love. That decision to fight the world for me, the rain that accompanied me, every scene is your spotless sincerity..."
The moment Cao Xuan, who was ranked fourth, came out singing "Little Lucky".
The live audience in the studio suddenly burst into unparalleled enthusiasm, the pitch was three digit times higher than the previous one, and the screams almost overturned the ceiling.
"Ah ah ah, Cao Xuan Cao Xuan."
"Xuanxuan, I love you."
"Music is irreplaceable, Cao Xuan is everywhere."
"..."
Even though the program team, the host, and several other guests had been mentally prepared in advance, seeing this obvious contrast and the crazy fans, I still couldn't help but feel that Cao Xuan is so popular now.
Definitely the only one in the Chinese music scene!
