298 Who can tell me, where did this Chris Cao come from?
United States, San Francisco
Tom walked around a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, and asked with a big face.
"Tushi, let's go to Usher's concert on Sunday. I'll treat you."
Tusi glanced at Tom and said impatiently: "I hate Usher, I only like Britney."
"No problem, I'll invite you to see Britney next time she comes to San Francisco."
"Let's talk about it later."
Tusi said casually, so when she saw a strong white man who was nearly nineteen tall walking out of the school gate, his face showed surprise, but then he looked at the two girls surrounding the strong man and couldn't help but get angry.
"Bichi, stick to my corner!"
Tu Sidu hurriedly ran over to declare his sovereignty and drove away the two girls. The little bird hugged the strong man lovingly, smiling like a flower.
The two left together, and the breeze blowing from the sea vaguely conveyed Tusi's brisk and happy reply: "Usher? No problem, my dear, I like everything you like."
Tom: "..."
Jerry, who had been staying not far away, came over and patted his good brother's shoulder comfortingly, but not comfortingly, because comforting was useless.
He had seen similar scenes with double digits, but Tom was so stubborn that he didn't bother to worry about it anymore.
"I want to drink."
After a moment of silence, the sound of Tom dripping was heard, and Jerry spread his hands: "Brother, we are high school students, no one will sell us alcohol."
Tom gave Jerry a sad look, and Jerry sighed: "Okay, let's go find my house and steal a few bottles from home. My dad won't find out."
Tom followed Jerry home and waited at the door. Jerry slipped into the house and within 5 minutes, he came out in a panic carrying a cloth bag.
"Let's go, let's go."
A little further away from home, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and began to open the wine and drink while walking on the road.
The United States has very strict regulations on underage drinking. If you want to buy alcohol or cigarettes, you must show your ID, which is similar to the American ID card. Stores under the age of 21 will not sell it, and violators will be severely fined.
The same is true in bars. People will also look at your age. If you are not old enough, they will put a ring on your wrist and they will not sell alcohol.
Of course, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. There are too many underage alcoholics in the United States. If you can’t buy it yourself, you can ask adults to buy it. As long as you want to drink, you can always find a way.
Tom and Jerry can be regarded as "old drunkards". Ever since Tom was injured by Tucson, he unexpectedly experienced the feeling of getting drunk to relieve a thousand worries. From then on, he used alcohol to anesthetize himself every time he was injured.
As a good brother, Jerry drank with him. In fact, he actually wanted to drink, so he found an excuse.
How should I put it? The stricter the ban, the more likely it is to arouse rebelliousness, especially among young Americans, who advocate freedom.
The more they prevent them from drinking underage, the more they think it is a cool thing. If you are really a good kid, you will be looked down upon by your peers.
The two of them like to drink, but their drinking capacity is very average. Jerry is okay and can barely be considered a normal person, while Tom is an out-and-out noob.
After two cans of beer, Tom started to have headaches and cried with snot and tears.
Is it from the vice-captain...Why does Tusi like him but not me..."
Jerry tasted Tom's words. If he were Tusi, he would easily choose between the two.
But I definitely couldn't tear down my good brother, so I gave him some advice.
"Brother, you are more infatuated than Spike. You have always liked Tusi. He is a playboy. He has changed many women in the past two years. I heard that he would not even let Tusi's cousin go. Believe me, Tusi
Sooner or later, you will see his true face clearly."
Tom nodded, but for some reason, when he heard that Tusi's 36E cousin had been murdered, he cried even more sadly...
At this moment, a clear melody and singing suddenly came from the video store they were passing by.
"...
My love is pure
My love is so pure.
I saw an angel
Because I have seen angels.
Of that I'm sure
I have no doubt about this
…he was with another man
Although there is another man by my side
…
lure're beautiful, lure're beautiful
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful
tempt're beautiful, it's breasts
You are so beautiful, it is absolutely true
…”
Tom's eyes were filled with tears. After singing the song, he couldn't help but lay on Jerry and cried loudly.
"You and I will never be able to depend on each other, wuwuwu, this is the feeling, my Tusi, ah, my heart is going to be broken..."
Seeing the doubtful, understanding, and meaningful looks from passers-by around him, Jerry's scalp went numb, but he was too embarrassed to push Tom away directly.
He could only stand with his arms wide open to show his innocence.
As a result, passersby looked at them even more strangely, and a Latina girl gave them a thumbs up.
"come on!"
Jerry swore that if it weren't for the inconvenience of moving now, he really couldn't help but give this girl a big pussy, what the hell are you thinking.
Tom cried for a while, calmed down somewhat, and then rushed straight into the video store.
"Who sang the song just now? Give me one."
The video store owner was a little shocked when he saw Tom's tears streaming down his face, but he was also an old man and had seen many scenes, so he quickly calmed down.
"A new EP by an Asian singer, the price is on the shelf."
Tom followed the boss's guidance and got the EP. On it was an Asian young man playing the guitar and roaring on the stage. The name on the EP cover was the same as the singer's name.
《Ch日s Tsao》:Ch日s Tsao
No, the singer Chris Tsao also added two Chinese Cao Xuan words that Tom couldn't understand.
"Chris Chao... I seem to have seen this name somewhere, and this face looks a bit familiar."
Tom was lost in memories, but Jerry, who was following behind, had a better memory and recognized him at a glance.
"It's the Chinese swordsman who knows "The Ninth Swordsmanship of Loneliness" and the one who filmed commercials with Britney Spears."
"Cao, I remembered it. It turns out that he is also a singer. The song he just sang was so great. It just spoke to my heart."
Tom, who had always had a crush on Cao Xuan, felt fate when he heard that the song that touched him just now was also sung by Cao Xuan.
But there is a saying. Although the song "Seduced're Beautiful" is a sad love song, the lyrics also express love for a woman.
The protagonist in the lyrics accidentally sees a beautiful woman. He praises her beauty, but cannot possess it. He can only watch the woman leave with others, but he is not regretful or upset, because seeing something beautiful is already a blessing.
There is no need to deliberately pursue possession.
Judging from the general meaning of the lyrics, it is normal for Tom to be touched, and he also cannot love it.
But the original intention is to use love to express some attitude towards life, while Tom is just a pure licker and no one cares about him. They are essentially two different things.
But people are always moved by themselves, so Tom felt that this song was sung for him, and it touched his heart. It also made him greatly agree with the song "Lure're Beautiful".
Not only did I generously buy the EP, but I also went to my favorite radio music program to request songs.
"I'm Tom, and I want to sing Chris Cao's "Lauren're Beautiful" and tell Tussie Davis from Lowell High School that she is the beautiful angel in my heart forever and that I will always love her."
…
San Francisco Public Radio (KQED), the most influential radio station in San Francisco.
The listening audience covers the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and other cities, and even the entire northern Catalonia.
"Okay, I'll note it down and we'll try to arrange your request."
In the phone room of San Francisco Radio's most popular music on-demand program "Song in San Francisco", the director hung up the phone on Tom, retched silently, and turned to look at other colleagues.
"Someone requested "Lure're Beautiful". Does anyone know this song?"
"No, new song?"
"I think I got a call just now, and he also ordered this song. Chris Cao, he should be a newcomer."
"I have one here too."
Another director hung up the phone and frowned: "Chris Cao's "Numb", both songs have been requested."
Several directors in the phone room looked confused. Soon, two more calls came in, and one of them requested "Lure're Beautiful".
"Fxxx!"
Soon after hearing the news, William, the person in charge of "Song in San Francisco" rushed over. He couldn't help but cursed, and then said goodbye to everyone.
"Who can tell me where this Chris Cao came from?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. William cursed and went out to call for help.
The radio station does not necessarily play all listeners' requests, but if the songs have a high demand rate, it must be arranged, otherwise it will be waited for by the listeners to complain collectively.
Most importantly, it can be seen from the few phone calls just now that this newcomer named Chris's songs are very popular and he is likely to become a new star.
However, "Song in San Francisco" does not have any relevant information about this person. This is definitely a fatal mistake for a music column team, and it may be a broadcast accident.
After a while, William returned to the phone room with a strange expression on his face, and a director couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, that new guy in the company? What's going on with this guy?"
"He is not a newcomer, no, he is considered a newcomer. Anyway, this guy is very special. He is actually a singer from China and is very popular in Asia."
"Chinese?!"
Several directors looked surprised, and one of them, a white man, even blurted out: "Can Chinese people also sing?"
"Don't underestimate him."
William said solemnly: "Chris Cao is from Warner, and he is very popular in Los Angeles now. In just two days, two songs have reached the top twenty of several Los Angeles radio stations' on-demand charts.
I just asked my peers over there and they even think this guy has the potential to be on the Billboard Hot 100."
If the previous directors had no idea about the so-called "fire", as soon as they heard that he was expected to enter the Billboard, they knew that they had really underestimated this Chinese person.
The Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart is a real-time collection of the 100 most popular singles in the United States every week based on sales volume + radio playback rate.
In order to ensure popularity, the bulletin board even instituted a relatively harsh rule.
For example, if a song has been on the chart for 20 weeks and falls out of the top 50, it will be removed from the chart; if it has been on the chart for more than 52 weeks and falls out of the top 25, it will be removed from the chart directly.
Only if the performance of this song (radio stations, physical sales, or subsequent downloads, streaming media) exceeds your previous highest performance, can it return to the list.
This situation prevents some songs from continuing to dominate the charts and showing an obvious downward trend, which will give way to new songs that follow, and continue to maintain the popularity and freshness of the Billboard charts.
This also leads to the fact that I cannot say that all of the 100 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 are older than the same period, but more than 80% of them are genuine, and the higher the ranking, the more valuable and authentic they are.
The stronger the sex.
For Americans, you may not like a song on the Billboard Hot 100, but you cannot deny that it is not popular.
In short, this Chinese named Chris Cao is likely to become a new star in the American music scene...
ps: Today is the birthday of Cao Xuan, Hu Jing, Fanxing and Bi Pang. It’s not too much to ask for a monthly pass∩_∩
