310 goals achieved, Asian-American international superstar online
On April 15, the new issue of the international version of Time Magazine was released, and the next day, the new issue of the Billboard chart was also online.
It has been two weeks since the last time two songs entered the top twenty-five, or even approached the top twenty.
With the strong support of Warner and the super high quality of the song itself, Cao Xuan's "Chris Tsao" competed fiercely with many hit songs on the Billboard singles chart and finally won.
On April 16, "Chris Tsao" ranked on the list for its seventh week.
After nearly 50 days, two songs from Cao Xuan's EP, "You're beautiful" and "numb", finally entered the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 singles list, ranking ninth and tenth respectively.
Another song, "Natural", ranked fifteenth and is still expected to enter the top ten.
This time, the United States was really shocked.
Even if Cao Xuan still doesn't win the Billboard No. 1, three songs from one EP that are in the top ten of the Billboard singles chart are enough to make the entire American music industry take notice.
More importantly, Cao Xuan is a newcomer and a Chinese, which makes this matter more topical.
It can even be said that Cao Xuan's three songs in the top ten of the Billboard are more interesting than an ordinary newcomer's sudden victory at the top of the Billboard.
Coupled with this wave of miraculous assistance from Time Magazine, Chris Cao's name has completely gone out of the entertainment industry. He is no longer limited to the American music scene, but has become an American celebrity.
Even U.S. President George W. Bush participated in an event two days ago and sang to entertain a little girl. He hummed to the tune of Cao Xuan's "You are beautiful".
Nowadays, Cao Xuan's popularity and popularity are not inferior to many first-line singers in the American music scene.
Some American media previously called Cao Xuan a rising star in the American music scene. Now, the word "super" needs to be added in front of the word "rising star".
The Chinese supernova in the American music scene!
Also known as a supernova is Shakira. Although she only has one song in the top ten of the Billboard, she climbed from fourth to third this time, which is very valuable.
It just so happens that the two of them are quite similar. They are both popular this year + foreign singer + famous in their native language + handsome guy and beautiful girl. It just happened that "Time Magazine" put them both on the cover together, and the two were involved in a scandal.
Therefore, Cao Xuan and Shakira were naturally put together by the American media, which is a bit like a combination of [male Cao Xuan and female Shakira].
After preliminary negotiations, Cao Xuan and Shakira adopted a tacit attitude towards the media's "matching up with each other".
The two do have many similarities, and they are both newcomers to the American music scene. They don't have many friends in the industry here. Fortunately, Shakira can talk to other Latin American singers.
Cao Xuan is really a loner in the American music scene. Not to mention Chinese-speaking singers, even Asian singers are rare.
There are a few local Asian singers, but none of them are well-known, and they are not in the same circle. They have different cultural awareness and cannot integrate together.
Therefore, Cao Xuan and Shakira can complement each other to a certain extent and stay together in the American music scene.
In addition, the two also intend to capitalize on each other's popularity. Cao Xuan definitely wants to visit Latin America, and Shakira is also eyeing the Asian market. They can definitely build off each other's popularity.
To a certain extent, this is CP speculation and bundled promotion, which can be regarded as Cao Xuan’s old profession, back then with Ren Xianqi and now with Shakira.
However, back then it was a bit of a showdown with Xianqi, but now they are helping each other, with Cao Xuan even taking the dominant position.
Don’t forget, in addition to being a singer, Cao Xuan is also a music composer who has written many hit songs.
Singer-songwriters are the most popular in any music scene in the world.
Maybe it's not rare to be a good singer, but Dad Qu is really a dad.
Cao Xuanneng and Warner raised various conditions, and even in the United States, he was able to guarantee a certain degree of autonomy. The reason is because he can write songs.
Without Warner, Cao Xuan can cooperate with Universal, Sony, and EMI, and still attack Billboard.
And without Cao Xuan, Warner has nowhere to find a Chinese who can create hit English songs.
It is possible to find American musicians to write songs for Asian singers to sing, but if it is so easy, several major records will not be able to cultivate an Asian international superstar.
Putting aside the issue of profit distribution, since you can write popular English songs, why don't you praise your own people instead of Asians?
The hurdle of internal resources alone can stump a bunch of big companies. The only ones who can break through are people like Cao Xuan who "compose" English songs by themselves.
I am willing to sing my own songs. If you are able, you can write them yourself...
In the music industry, talent certainly does not mean everything, but sometimes talent is the basis for everything.
Cao Xuan's musical "talent" is his biggest asset in entering the American music scene. In addition, with the support of China behind him, at least many dirty tricks cannot be used casually.
That's why Warner is willing to let him go in every aspect, otherwise it would really be thought that the capitalists are doing charity.
Warner is not the only one who sees the value of Cao Xuan. Shakira and the company behind her are also willing to be friends with talented people like Cao Xuan.
Now that we have a good relationship, if we can get a top ten song from Cao Xuan, it will be a huge profit...
So this time Cao Xia... sounded awkward, and Xia Cao... sounded even more awkward. Anyway, it was two people cooperating. Shakira was happy to see the result, and Cao Xuan did not suffer, and a consensus was quickly reached.
Relevant media exposure, when talking about Shakira, you have to say a few words about Cao Xuan, and when talking about Cao Xuan, you also need to mention Shakira. Both parties share publicity resources.
The combination of the Chinese King + Latin Queen has brought freshness to many American music fans.
Of course, due to Shakira's boyfriend and the two people in Cao Xuan's family, the two parties were just promoting CP, similar to the European and American version of "South Ren Bei Cao", and did not develop into scandals.
After "Time Magazine", the two joined hands to land on NBC, the largest television station in the United States, and participated in "Saturday Night Live", one of the most popular programs in the United States.
This show has been on the air since 1975, around the same time as Cao Xuan. What’s even more frightening is that although this show has stopped intermittently several times, it has not ended until 2021, making it the longest-lived variety show in the United States.
Such a long life also shows the influence of this program in the United States. Even the presidential campaign has come to this program to canvass votes, including famous real estate businessmen.
In this program, there are very few formal interviews. Actors perform jokes, celebrities may be parodied or put on stand-up shows, and singers are relatively serious, mainly singing, but it is best to be more comedy-humorous.
The two went up and sang two songs together, one by Cao Xuan and one by Shakira. They added a bit of comedy and spoof elements, and the effect was pretty good.
More importantly, the two supernovas, the Chinese King and the Latin Queen, reunited for the first time and once again made headlines in the American music scene.
Americans also love gossip, and no matter how good a singer is, they will not be as exposed as gossip. Although the two said they are just good friends, the media is still very keen to report on this pair of foreign male and female music superstars separated by the Pacific Ocean.
Cao Xuan has been in a lot of news for nearly two months since he came to the United States. In terms of popularity, he and Shakira are the most popular these days.
I found the traffic password and it belongs to...
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Gaining popularity also comes with side effects. According to rumors, there are a few big brothers in Colombia who are unhappy with Cao Xuan for "picking up" their national goddess and are planning to talk to Cao Xuan.
Good guy, Colombia is famous for its "simple folk customs" and is nicknamed Latin America's Little Gotham.
If the elder brothers send some small gifts to Cao Xuan's residence and car, who can bear it?
However, Cao Xuan is not too afraid. Let’s not talk about Warner’s strength. Let’s just talk about the fierceness of the Colombian brothers, but the ranking of the Chinese American brothers is not small.
As soon as Cao Xuan came to the United States, he went to visit the docks, Qing, Hong, merchants, and overseas Chinese. All the etiquette was in place, not to mention the official embassy.
It is true that China has not yet risen, but it is not yet bullied by a bunch of Colombian morons.
To put it bluntly, Cao Xuan is protected by someone.
Don't say that he and Shakira are fine at all, they just slept together. You are in love with me, a talented man and a beautiful woman, what does it have to do with you bunch of ugly people...
Originally, Cao Xuan was preparing to return to China, but because the matter was delayed for another two days, he attended the platinum record sales celebration party held by Warner for him.
To avoid rumors that he was afraid of Brother Colombia's revenge, he returned to his country to seek refuge in despair.
Cao Xuan himself does not mind a little criticism, but this is related to the reputation of the Chinese people and even all Chinese people. If it is said that the Chinese or the Chinese are timid and weak-minded because of him, it will be irreparable.
This is not an exaggeration. Cao Xuan is now considered to be one of the most famous among Chinese people in the United States. To a certain extent, it is related to the image of Chinese people or Chinese groups.
It doesn't matter if it's a small personal matter, but this kind of principled issue that may involve the overall image, Cao Xuan cannot take it seriously.
Cao Xuan's toughness greatly exceeded the expectations of all insiders. A Chinese eldest brother in the United States specially sent bodyguards to take charge of his safety. The embassy also contacted Cao Xuan and said that it had warned relevant people and that no one would go overboard.
The person involved, Shakira, came forward to make peace and personally attended Cao Xuan's celebration party. In order to dispel the so-called rumors, she even brought her boyfriend here.
At the celebration party, although there were not many singers from the American music scene besides Shakira and Warner.
However, many big Chinese people in the United States came to the platform specifically. For those who didn't come, gifts arrived, and the top brass of the embassy personally called to congratulate them.
Cao Xuan was originally popular in the American music scene, and the appearance of another Chinese face in the mainstream American entertainment circle has already made many Chinese people feel proud.
This time Cao Xuan resisted the threat and did not want the image of China and the Chinese to be tarnished, and once again gained the favor of many Chinese.
In a foreign country, we are already at a disadvantage, and we need to unite to protect ourselves. However, we cannot stand against fellow villagers trying to trick fellow villagers, so there is still a certain gap and vigilance between them.
Even though Cao Xuan has become the pride of Chinese people in the American music scene, not many people have had much contact with him because they don't understand his character.
But this incident made everyone understand part of Cao Xuan's character. Apart from other things, he was tough-minded, loyal, and upright.
Based on this alone, everyone thinks that Xuanzi is a capable person!
Cao Xuan also did not expect that an unexpected incident would allow him to be accepted by the Chinese community in the United States, which was very important to him.
This time he opened up the situation and officially entered the European and American markets. In the future, he will definitely come to the United States to work from time to time.
When you go out, you have to be careful about everything. Although Warner is powerful, Cao Xuan cannot trust them in everything. Being able to connect with Chinese groups makes many things much easier.
Although there are some scum here who are trying to trick the fellow countrymen, Cao Xuan believes more in the Chinese compatriots who share the same roots and species than people from other countries.
Under the witness of everyone, Cao Xuan received the platinum record certification certificate from the International Phonographic Association. There was a platinum disc film inside a black photo frame.
In the past few weeks, in addition to Cao Xuan's rapid progress on the Billboard singles chart, he has also been on the album chart. In mid-April, the sales of "Chris Tsao" officially exceeded 1 million.
Cao Xuan finally achieved his two wishes of breaking into the top ten of the Billboard singles chart and achieving platinum sales before returning to China.
Looking at the certificate in his hand, Cao Xuan couldn't hide his joy.
In fact, he has a lot of these things. As long as you pay the membership fee to the International Phonographic Association, the International Phonographic Association will send you after you reach 1 million genuine sales.
The total sales volume of Cao Xuan's records has already exceeded 10 million, and this kind of platinum record proves that I have a stack of it at home.
However, it is still the first platinum album awarded by the American branch of the International Phonographic Association, and the first in the entire Chinese music industry.
This proof can only be obtained if the sales of albums in the United States exceed 1 million.
At the same time, this also marks that Cao Xuan's career has reached a new level.
He is the only singer in the entire Chinese music scene who has made significant achievements in the European and American music circles.
The next day, photos of Cao Xuan holding a certificate in his left hand and champagne in his right hand with a bright smile made headlines in some American media. When the news spread back to Asia, it was indiscriminately ranked in the media in various countries.
Asian International "Superstar" is officially online!
