Beijing TV Station is one of the five major first-line TV stations in China that has the least presence in later generations.
If it weren't for the capital aura bonus, he might have been kicked out of the first line.
But in the 1990s, when local provincial and Taiwanese stations had not yet fully emerged, the strength of Beijing and Taiwan was firmly on the front line, and could even be regarded as the first among local provincial and Taiwanese stations.
Especially in the past few years, the Beijing Television Art Center has successively created a large number of phenomenal TV series such as "Desire", "Beijing People in New York", and "The Story of the Editorial Office", which have become popular all over the country.
At that time, Beijing and Taiwan were in the limelight, overwhelming all major local and provincial stations across the country, and even CCTV had to retreat a little.
However, in the past two years, Beijing and Taiwan have not produced any big hits. Instead, they have produced "The White Eyebrow Hero" and "Gan Jiu Mei". Lu Province TV Station is relatively strong, and Hunan Province TV Station, which has introduced a large number of Qiong Yao dramas, has also begun to appear.
But in general, Beijing TV Station can still rank among the top three among all TV stations in China.
On the afternoon of November 24th, Cao Xuan came to the column team of Jingtai's "Talk about Beijing".
This program is an interview entertainment program that was just launched last year. It was first on the Life Channel, but later found that the feedback was good, so it was transferred to Beijing Satellite TV.
"Big Talk in Beijing" is not a big deal nationwide, but it is considered a very influential program in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, with high ratings in the region.
In the dressing room of the show crew, Cao Xuan met the people who participated in the interview from the crew of "Love to the End".
In addition to the director Zhang Yibai, there are two men and two women, namely the male lead, the second male lead Li Yapeng and Wang Xuebing, and the female lead, the second female lead Xu Cainu and Wang Yuwen.
Needless to say, the second female lead, Wang Yuwen, is an actress from Taiwan and has acted in many works, but she just looks familiar.
Apart from Ruotong, the second female lead in "Love to the End", the other more famous roles are the third daughter in Ang Lee's "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman".
In comparison, Li Yapeng and Wang Xuebing are more famous.
The latter is the only boyfriend Fan Bayi has admitted to except Hei Niu. He was also considered a first-line actor when he was at the peak of his popularity. Unfortunately, he was caught taking drugs in 2015 and has disappeared from the public ever since.
The former Li Yapeng is a well-known "soft rice king" in the entertainment industry. He has won the votes of Ke Lan, Qu Ying, Zhou Xun and Wang Fei as goddesses in the industry.
Regardless of fame or influence, Li Yapeng is higher than Wang Xuebing. In 2000, he ranked first among the top four major students in mainland China.
But this person prefers doing business to acting.
This is nothing at all. The key is that he is addicted to food, and his income is not enough to compensate for the compensation. After decades of ups and downs, he finally became an old man who could not pay back the money.
It is worth mentioning that Li and Wang were classmates in the 1990s at China National Theater Academy. In the same class, there was also Chen Jianbin who married Jiang Qinqin.
I don’t know if this year’s Chinese Opera has specially added the course of [Dying with Goddess], and each contestant will be lucky...
The four leading actors of "Carry Love to the End" had different reactions when they saw Cao Xuan, a popular new singer.
Xu Cainv's admiration for Cao Xuan remained the same as before, and even intensified. As soon as Cao Xuan entered the door, she came over to exchange warm greetings.
Wang Yuwen was more curious. After all, Cao Xuan was ridiculed by the Taiwanese media during the recent turmoil. She wanted to see what the real person was like.
Li Yapeng is relatively cool. He is considered the most popular among the leading actors. His previous role in "Beijing-Hong Kong Love Line" brought him a lot of fame.
In terms of attitude, he didn't think highly of Cao Xuan, a singer who had just become famous.
Of course, Cao Xuan's more handsome appearance and the enthusiastic response from his romantic partner Xu Cainü are also part of the reasons.
Wang Xuebing was completely wary and hostile. He was thinking about Xu Cainv.
Although Wang Shuo was too worried to make a move, it didn't mean that he was willing to see other men having a passionate fight with his goddess.
Fortunately, he soon discovered that Cao Xuan's attitude towards Xu Cainu was mediocre, even a little irritating, so he relaxed a little.
Cao Xuan really had no intention of getting close to these people, so Wang Yuwen was the only one. The other three really didn't have the same views.
So Cao Xuan spent most of the time chatting with Zhang Yibai.
Although Lao Zhang also made mistakes, he was able to thrive in Beijing circles in the future, and was even able to lead and participate in national-level film and television projects. Apart from other things, his emotional intelligence was very high.
Getting along with this kind of person, although it won't feel like a breath of fresh air, is hard to feel disgusted.
………
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Xuan discussed the performance process with the director of the program team, and then rehearsed it again.
At around 3 o'clock, the recording of the program officially started. Cao Xuan did not participate in the interview, but closed his eyes and rested in the background to adjust his state.
At about 6 o'clock, the staff came to call for help, and Cao Xuan put on his equipment and went to wait.
Not long after Cao Xuan arrived at the recording site, the director looked at the process and made a gesture to the stage. The host understood it and immediately ended the current topic and began to introduce the theme song.
"Many viewers may not know that the theme song "Light Chaser" of "Love to the End" was written, composed and sung by the popular singer Cao Xuan."
"Is it true? I particularly like the song "Ten Thousand Reasons" by Cao Xuan. I listen to it every night. I am his fan."
"Then you are blessed today. Cao Xuan came to our show today. Let us welcome Cao Xuan with applause and bring us a song "Light Chaser"."
"Welcome with applause."
Bang bang bang——
Amidst the warm applause, a "bang" was heard, the headlights above the studio were turned off, and everything was plunged into darkness.
A few seconds later, a beam of warm white light reached the center of the stage, and Cao Xuan appeared in a gray slim-fitting long windbreaker, bright-eyed, fresh and handsome.
"Ahhh!"
"so hot."
Several screams suddenly erupted from the audience, and the director sharply adjusted a set of shots to respond, and the remaining medium and close shots were all taken of Cao Xuan.
It was so good, I don’t know how many young ladies and young wives stayed in front of the TV after it aired.
Cao Xuan ignored the noise from the outside world and performed on TV for the first time. He immersed himself in the song and used all his skills to perform this performance.
After waiting quietly for the prelude to end, Cao Xuan put the microphone to his mouth and sounded a slightly deep and affectionate voice.
"If you are the fireworks on the sea
I am the foam of the waves
At a certain moment, your light illuminates me
If we say you are a distant galaxy
So dazzling that it makes you want to cry
I'm chasing your eyes
Always look at the night sky when I am lonely
………”
The soothing melody that was narrated was clean, pure, warm and healing, leading all the listeners to follow Cao Xuan's emotions bit by bit and slowly enter the song.
If in the past, Cao Xuan could only be regarded as an outstanding amateur master, then a large amount of recording and performance experience in the past six months, as well as continuous training and learning, have made his singing skills improve rapidly, and now he has begun to reach the level of a professional singer.
For non-difficult songs, Cao Xuan is basically fine.
Not to mention that he has sung "Light Chaser" hundreds of times, and he is extremely familiar with the various techniques and emotional renderings in it.
And given today's special occasion, Cao Xuan was extremely focused and in a particularly full state.
With the blessing of various conditions, Cao Xuan sang his most satisfying version of "Light Chaser" today.
Especially the highlight of the whole song, the climax of the chorus.
After paving the way for the previous song, Cao Xuan accumulated emotions bit by bit. At this critical moment, he opened the door, and the emotions he had been suppressing in his chest burst into flames. His magnetic and powerful singing voice suddenly spread throughout the studio.
"I can follow you
Like a shadow dreamwalking after the light
I can wait at this intersection
Whether you will pass by or not
Whenever I raise my head for you
Even tears feel free
Some love is like heavy rain
But still, believe in the rainbow
…”
In the lyrics, the protagonist's humble yet cautious love, as well as his innocence and firmness after putting in all his efforts, are deeply touched by Cao Xuan's emotional interpretation.
Many female audience members had red eyes, and some were even moved to tears.
The director of the program, who was also intoxicated by the singing, saw this scene and suddenly woke up and urged the photographer to shoot the camera on the faces of the crying audience.
He had a premonition that the ratings of today's episode of "Talk in the Capital" would reach a new peak for the program group.
The leading actors of "Carry Love to the End" standing nearby were also shocked by Cao Xuan's performance today.
Xu Cainv's eyes were filled with brilliance, and the look she looked at Cao Xuan seemed to have a hook in it.
Wang Yuwen really wanted to bring those Taiwanese media over to take a look, and then ask them that singers with this kind of expressiveness are also called "bad guys who only know how to hype."
Even Li Yapeng and Wang Xuebing, who had a bad impression of Cao Xuan, admitted in their hearts that Cao Xuan was indeed a good singer.
