February 9, 2002, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Cao Xuan participated in the fifth round of rehearsals of the Spring Festival Gala, as well as the subsequent preparation and recording. The countdown to the 2002 Spring Festival Gala has officially begun.
In addition to the already scheduled adaptation of "Stars and Sea", Cao Xuan also has another program in this year's Spring Festival Gala, which is to participate in the final closing song "Unforgettable Tonight".
This year's Spring Festival Gala program team created a deluxe version of the singing group, including Zhao Benshan, Wang Hongwei, Tan Jing, Jiang Kun, Hou Yaowen, as well as fellow elder sisters and Cao Xuan.
From this list of personnel, we can also see why Cao Xuan violated precedent and sacrificed his time on New Year's Eve to participate in this program.
Mainly to wish the motherland and people a happy new year...
There is no rehearsal for this show. Each person sings one sentence. Cao Xuanbai is behind the eldest sister and Lao Zhao, that is, "China is in the same embrace". After that, several people sing one sentence in pairs, and the chorus is sung together with all the remaining cast and crew.
.
Thanks to this program, Cao Xuan met the great devil Tan Jing.
This person is two years younger than him, but he made his first appearance in the Spring Festival Gala in 2000. He is even younger than Cao Xuan when he made his first appearance in the Spring Festival Gala.
This year's Spring Festival Gala, Tan Jing sang the famous song "On the Top of Nadong Mountain" for the first time. She is basically a young singer highly recommended by the government.
However, unlike Cao Xuan who followed the route of being a pop king, Bende became a singer and was one of the main pillars of the general administration.
Cao Xuan's singing skills have always been a weakness compared to his "creative ability", but the main comparison is with those senior singers. In fact, among his peers, Cao Xuan is relatively confident, unless he is the kind of cub who is chased by God to feed him.
And Tan Jing happens to be God's favorite kid.
Even that can't be said to be fed, but the kind that is so desperate that it can't be done without eating.
After rehearsing with Tan Jing in private twice, Cao Xuan was a little autistic and couldn't help it, his talent was so great.
However, he is just as good at singing as Tan Jing, and people are envious of his creative talent.
Tan Jing likes "Chi Ling" very much. Sometimes she goes out to perform condolences and sings this song whenever it suits her. It is very popular. Cao Xuan generously shared his experience of this song, which gave her a lot of inspiration.
Apart from Tan Jing, Cao Xuan was more interested in Jiang Kun and Mr. Hou. He originally wanted to watch the excitement, but found that the relationship between the two was better than he thought.
It's normal to think about it. Jiang Kun's master is Ma Ji, and Ma Ji's master is Hou Baolin, a serious disciple of the Hou family.
Not to mention the third master Hou, the head of the Hou family after Hou Baolin's death is not the self-proclaimed leader of Hou Er later, but the kind with solid status, fame, connections, and strength that everyone admires.
Nowadays, except for Tianjin's Ma Sanli, retired Ma Ji and some senior seniors in the cross talk circle, they are basically respected by the three of them. Li Jinbao and Shi Shengjie are weaker than them.
Especially Mr. Hou, who has a lot of disciples from the Hou clan and is considered the largest force in the cross talk world. If this man was still here when Lao Guo was fighting, he would never have been targeted by the entire cross talk world.
Mr. Hou has a relatively low-key personality and is quite bold. What Cao Xuan pays more attention to is Jiang Kun's partner named Dai.
He was like a grandson in front of others, and the shouts of "third brother and third brother" were so sweet that I never expected that he would do such an immoral thing in the end.
Although Cao Xuan has degenerated into a Cao thief and is not a good person, he has not yet attacked his friends.
Don’t bully your friend’s wife!
It's just a joke in normal times, but in reality this is the bottom line. Calling someone a beast for doing something like this is a compliment.
Cao Xuan himself didn't like Chairman Jiang very much, but he didn't dislike them either. But just because of this Dai, he usually kept away from them.
During rehearsals, he didn't lean toward the cross talk side. He usually communicated with a few singers, but he couldn't stand someone harassing him.
Lao Zhao, who has become the top language performer in the Spring Festival Gala, and even the top performer in the entire Spring Festival Gala, is no longer satisfied with being on the sketch stage, but wants to make a TV series.
It is said that he has secured the support of CCTV to host the film and television project "Liu Laogen" and serve as the director and leading actor.
Zhao is a newbie in making TV series, so he humbly learns from it, and the main person he learns from is Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan Niu!
Not only did he break out of Asia by singing, but he also opened a film and television company in a stylish way.
"Young Bao Qingtian", "Journey to the West", "Love Through Time and Space", "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Swallow Eagle" and "Golden Family", except for the last one, all of the projects I have participated in or invested in have not been aired yet, and all the others are popular.
, and even several of them are hot hits.
Perhaps the outside world has not yet reacted, but in the film and television industry, especially in the field of TV series, Fanxing is definitely the most popular company in the past two years.
Lao Zhao is so envious, especially when he heard that the first-run broadcast rights of "The Golden Family" alone were sold for 25 million, his eyes started to bleed.
At this stage, the Liu Laogen Stage has not yet been officially established, but the prototype is already there. Lao Zhao leads a group of apprentices and actors to perform on theater troupe stages in the Northeast, and occasionally accepts commercial performances and advertisements. This is basically Lao Zhao's main income.
There is another one that records two people and transfers it to DVD, but piracy is rampant and there is not much money to be made.
The RMB 25 million from "The Golden Family" opened up a new world for Lao Zhao and made him more determined to make a TV series.
He couldn't find a chance before, but now he finally caught Cao Xuan, and he couldn't wait to stick to Cao Xuan for advice.
These days, as long as Cao Xuan meets him, he doesn't have to worry about a place to eat. The Northeastern dishes are so delicious that they taste like pot-roasted pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Tickle...
Cao Xuan, who has a soft-spoken mouth, was pestered by Lao Zhao and revealed several minefields of film and television production and starting a company. He also analyzed the prospects and distribution plan of "Liu Laogen" based on the information he gave him.
In fact, there is nothing to say. "Liu Laogen" must be produced by CCTV. Lao Zhao probably won't make much money this time. He mainly wants to gain fame and accumulate experience.
Cao Xuan is still looking forward to "Ma Dashuai", which is said to be "one "Ma Dashuai" and half the history of Northeast China".
He personally even thinks that it is the pinnacle of Lao Zhao's film and television work, in which he and Fan Wei contributed actor-level performances.
However, these words were of great benefit to Lao Zhao, who had just started on the road. Cao Xuan was addicted to the teacher by jotting down notes in his small notebook, and it was rare for him to reveal some secrets.
"Teacher Zhao, I think if you make a TV series, you should focus on comedies and realistic rural-themed works like "Liu Lao Gen".
On the one hand, you are familiar with it and are good at it, and you can avoid subject matter conflicts with other film and television companies. More importantly, the market is making great progress."
"Would anyone like to watch it?"
Lao Zhao was a little hesitant. There are not many such subjects, but there are not many that have become popular, including "Liu Lao Gen", and he has been hesitant.
But there is no way, what he is best at is playing small people and local entrepreneurs, and the audience will not recognize him when he plays other roles.
"There are hundreds of millions of farmers in China. These are the viewers of TV dramas, especially those in the northeast and north. They resonate deeply with these stories. I am optimistic about this subject matter."
Cao Xuan's words gave Lao Zhao courage. He clinked his glasses and said, "Then I'll give it a try. I'll do it later. Thank you very much."
"Yeah, hehe."
Cao Xuan and Lao Zhao have known each other for a long time, but they have always had reservations. They cooperate normally and are gentlemen's friends without getting too close.
………
Putting aside the few big names in this show, Cao Xuan is definitely a big shot among the other actors in the Spring Festival Gala.
After he arrived at the studio, one group after another of singers came to visit the pier.
For example, Sun Yanzi, who is the first to attend the Spring Festival Gala, must be supported by her senior brother. In addition to her, Wang Lihong is also here this year.
It also shows that the new generation of singers are constantly rising to the top, and the influence of pop music in the Spring Festival Gala is getting higher and higher.
In addition, Kelly Chen from Xiangjiang is also here, which can be regarded as the representative of Xiangjiang singers.
Every year, the Spring Festival Gala has a certain number of Hong Kong and Taiwan rising stars, including Liu Tianwang, Anita Mui, Li Tianwang, Li Wen, Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung, Ren Xianqi and others in the past few years.
Although this year's Gongzhu Lin is a bit inferior, with Cao Xuan in charge and Sun and Wang who are gaining momentum, it's not too shabby.
When Kelly Chen came to pay homage to the dock, Tian Zhen happened to be there too. She had asked Cao Xuan to help her a lot this year. She has a good relationship and is a die-hard Cao Party member in the music industry.
One Xiangjiang, one Mainland, two great queens accompanied each other. Cao Xuan's dressing room was filled with stars, and then Mr. Zhou also came over to join in the fun.
This time she sang songs with Lu Yi and several other groups.
Based on this calculation, it seems that Zhao, Zhang, and Zhou from the Four Little Girls have all appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.
Cao Xuan wondered whether he would also support Hu Jing in the Spring Festival Gala next year. This was a problem for others, but it was really not a big deal for him.
Many big names came to pay their respects to the pier, which further highlighted Cao Xuan's aloof status in the Spring Festival Gala.
Even the actual first brother, Lao Zhao, is not as good as him. Even this first brother squats in Cao Xuan's dressing room and refuses to leave.
Facing the adoring gazes of the newbies in the Spring Festival Gala, Cao Xuan backed down tactically.
What is the backstage dominance of the Spring Festival Gala...
