【……】
In 2003, it grossed 50 million at the box office and became a hit in Asia. For a Chinese-language film, it was also a very impressive result.
The media also gave them face and gave them a lot of exposure and reports, which invisibly elevated Cao Xuan and Hu Jing's status in the film and television industry.
Since they have never starred in a movie before, although this aspect is not a weakness for the two of them, it is at least a shortcoming.
But this time, their debut film produced a beautiful report card, which also made them very popular in the film and television industry.
Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" has already decided on the characters and even started shooting part of the plot. Because "When Men Are in Love" became a hit and showed its box office appeal, it couldn't help but invite Cao Xuan again.
As long as Cao Xuan agrees, the originally scheduled Jin Chengwu will be kicked out directly and he will be paired with Liu Tianwang.
The producer didn't know what he was thinking. He might have been confused by Cao Daguan's reputation. He even used the male protagonist's sex scene with International Zhang as a bargaining chip.
At that time, Cao Xuan looked at him like a fool and told him to get out without saying a word. He had already improved his cultivation in the past two years.
Who do you think he is?
Do you really think that since he played Ximen Qing, he loves to do passionate scenes?
Even if he devotes himself to art, he doesn’t choose the international chapter?
Of course Cao Xuan refused to star in "House of Flying Daggers". Not to mention that he had no interest in the movie. Even if he was interested, he would not be able to star in it after other actors have already been appointed.
Now, the news of Kim Sung-wu's starring role has been announced to the public. If there is a sudden change, the outside world will not say that the crew went back on their word, but that he, Cao Xuan, is trying to steal the role.
Based on Cao Xuan's understanding of entertainment reporters, this is 100% the theory. He can't explain it clearly because no matter what, the role is his.
Yellow mud falls off the crotch, it is either shit or shit.
So Cao Xuan simply rejected Lao Mouzi again, but then Director Chen sent someone to find him to star in "The Promise", also using the passionate scene with Zhang Yunv as a bargaining chip.
Official Cao was furious!
What's so great about her? It's not like I haven't seen her before. Don't tarnish my noble sentiments and artistic pursuits.
In addition to the two great directors, Brother Cheng Long also wants to collaborate with Cao Xuan. He plans to make a sequel to "Police Story" and invites Cao Xuan to play the number one villain.
In order to fear that Cao Xuan would dislike him for being a villain, Cheng Long and one of the producers, Emperor Boss, personally called Cao Xuan to explain.
It is said that he is called a villain, but in fact it is a duel between two male protagonists, one good and one evil. The script will be specially increased for Cao Xuan, no less than Cheng Long.
Cao Xuan understood that he should be cast as the opposite number of Ng Yen Cho in "New Police Story", but due to his celebrity status, it was changed to an enhanced version, probably inspired by "Infernal Affairs".
Ah Xuan, surrender, there are Cheng Long outside!
Thinking that this famous joke might be replaced, Cao Xuan did not reject it directly, but said that he would take a look at the finished script before deciding.
In fact, in Cao Xuan's heart, it doesn't matter whether he acts in this movie or not. The main reason is that he still has a movie project on hand, which has a certain gangster flavor. It will definitely not be filmed in the mainland, and it will not make sense to go to Japan and South Korea.
Therefore, Cao Xuan wanted to make a change and use the title of a co-production to shoot in Xiangjiang. The background would be suitable and it would be easier to pass the review.
But if you want to make a movie in Hong Kong, you need the help of some local contacts in many aspects. Cao Xuan plans to meet a few steel ring bosses, and "New Police Story" is a good opportunity.
Let’s put aside whether to act or not, let’s talk about getting online. With Fanxing’s resources in the mainland, as long as we get online, we won’t have to worry about finding big names in Hong Kong to help.
Except for this project, which is still under negotiation, Cao Xuan declined all other commercial films. However, Cao Xuan did not reject many literary films in a hurry. He usually made a decision after reading the script.
Hu Jing doesn't care whether it's a commercial movie or a literary movie. After starring in "When a Man Falls in Love" and proving her acting skills and box-office ability, she becomes more and more whatever she wants.
To a certain extent, he is actually more picky than Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan also needs to consider box office reputation. If he can excel in this aspect, it will not be difficult to hire him.
The Empress of the East Palace is purely a matter of taste. As long as she likes it, she is willing to act in it, whether it is a grassroots troupe or a big production, regardless of quality or reputation.
Cao Xuan sometimes envies that he, a big shot in the entertainment industry, is not as cool as her.
But there is no other way. He will seek his own government in his position. There are thousands of people under his command, all waiting for him to lead them to open up the territory. It is not yet time for him to do whatever he wants...
………
Shichahai, Caojia Hutong
After SARS, Cao Xuan simply used this place as his stronghold. Although the two empresses moved a lot of their belongings back to Haidian and Tongzhou apartments, they did not remove all of them.
Because Cao Xuan lives here all the time, they can come back and stay for three or four days a week, but they usually stay away from each other.
Sometimes they inevitably bump into each other, but their relationship is not as frozen as before. Although they occasionally get into trouble because of Cao Xuan, most of the time they get along normally.
Cao Xuan was concentrating on typing in the study. Hu Jing came in wearing a white pajamas and smearing makeup on her face. She quietly walked behind her and took a look.
Smelling the familiar light sweet fruity aroma, Cao Xuan turned around and held her on his lap, and asked with a smile: "Why are you afraid that I will chat with others online?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll look at unhealthy websites."
"Don't talk nonsense. When will I watch those things?"
"Tsk, I clearly saw a Cang last time..."
Cao Xuan covered Hu Jing's mouth and said righteously: "That's a virus in the computer, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Poisoned?"
Hu Jing gave her a beautiful eye roll: "Why didn't you say it was Teacher Zeng who saw it?"
"I'm afraid you'll complain."
"I'm too lazy to tell her this."
"Huh, don't think I don't know. You two have made an appointment to go to the beauty salon together. I'm almost an outsider."
To be honest, Cao Xuan is very grateful for the two months of living in isolation from SARS.
Regardless of whether the two palaces have other purposes such as joint defense, but for more than two months under the same roof, everyone's relationship has indeed eased a lot, and the so-called Shura field has become a controllable fight.
Love grows over time, is not only a verb, but also an adjective.
After living together for a long time in a relatively calm and gentle life, even if they are love rivals, they will develop certain feelings.
Not to mention that the two palaces, East and West, were originally college classmates, had a certain relationship foundation, and now have a common goal. Even if Cao Xuan doesn't interfere, they intend to get close and unite.
In short, with the compromise and promotion of various factors, everything is now moving forward in accordance with Cao Xuan's wish.
Although the East and West palaces have moved out now, apart from meeting each other in Cao's alley, they have not lost contact with each other, and have even vaguely restored some of the friendship they had in college.
This time Hu Jing came back from her road show, and the two of them made appointments with each other to go shopping, get beauty treatments, and eat. Unexpectedly, they thought they were real besties.
"How do you know, Yuan Quan or Zhang Tong? It can't be Sister Hong, Liu Rui and the others."
Hu Jing was a little surprised, but Cao Xuan said confidently: "I promise you to plant spies around me, and no one else is allowed to tip me off. I have to guard against you and don't join forces to sell me out."
"It's a good time to sell it. I was told two days ago that a rich woman will spend 5 million to rent you for a day. Then I will ask you to go out to pick up the guests, and we will count the money at home."
Hu Jing raised her eyebrows and retorted directly. Cao Xuan was not angry, but settled a small score.
"Five million a day, 365 days a year, is 1.828 billion. My body can't stand it all year round. I take two months off. Even if I work 300 days a year, I can still earn 1.5 billion. Good guy, this is more than what I earn from singing by myself."
Already."
"You really want to go."
Boss Hu quit, and when her little hand touched someone's waist, she pressed her fingers together. Cao Xuan dodged, and the two of them chased and dodged each other, and gradually "played" together.
Half an hour later, Hu Jing blushed and went out to find water to rinse her mouth. Cao Xuan hissed and complained that the Queen of the East Palace had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and she had to be hammered before she became honest.
After the business was done, the two hugged Wen Cun while chatting about the files on Cao Xuan's computer.
"This is a guest invitation letter for the CCTV-MTV Music Festival. Why do you ask me to write it?"
"This year is not a special situation. The SARS incident has caused silence in the country for several months. The music festival organizing committee means to have a lively and lively event, a big one, a Chinese music event.
While awarding awards, there will be a concert to celebrate the success of the fight against SARS. It is planned to be held at the Workers' Stadium. I have a lot of connections here, and I am the vice chairman of the organizing committee, so I am planning to invite people."
"Would it be too high-profile if we make it so big?"
Hu Jing had been with Cao Xuan for a long time and was very sensitive to this aspect. Cao Xuan rubbed her head.
"This time it was said that the organizing committee and I were taking the lead, but in fact it was CCTV's intention. It seems that there are related units behind the propaganda outlet. It is not easy for the officials to come forward in this kind of thing, so they invited people in my name."
"Then who are you going to invite?"
"This year's music festival has been postponed and will probably be held after the National Day. I plan to invite as many as I can.
Not to mention the mainland singers, we invite all the new generations from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the older generation also sends out a few more invitations.
Let’s look back at Europe and the United States and see if we can invite a few guests to come over. This time it can be regarded as a charity performance, and the tickets and everything else will be donated to relevant units or families to make the scene bigger and more beautiful.”
"This battle is not small."
As someone close to her, Hu Jing is well aware of Cao Xuan's connections and prestige in the music world. If she really invites people, it's hard to say that the Chinese music industry will be packed up in one fell swoop. It's no problem to invite half of the country.
Cao Xuan showed Hu Jing the preliminary invitation list. She looked at it and was speechless. Two-thirds of the people on this list could be invited, and the lineup was even better than that of the Spring Festival Gala.
Glancing at the excited Cao Xuan, Hu Jing suddenly burst into laughter: "Why do I feel like the leader of the martial arts alliance is convening a conference of heroes from all over the world?"
"You're still right."
Cao Xuan was a little high-spirited: "After being in the music scene for so long, I haven't gained any authority yet. It's hard to get this opportunity, but it still doesn't allow me to show off."
No one is a sage, and no one can be ruthless.
Cao Xuan is a low-key person, which does not mean that he does not have the desire to show off, but he does not want to be too ostentatious, so he has always exercised restraint.
This time, with CCTV as the organizer and this big mountain standing in front of him, he can also show off as much as he wants.
I posted a hero post widely and called for a gathering of all the heroes in the music industry. I was finally able to show off my reputation and status as the number one person in the Chinese music industry, and I felt so happy.
In front of outsiders, he might be restrained and modest, so that his wife would not have to cover up.
I, the official Cao, just want to show off!
"I want to go too, please send me one too."
"I'm sure you want to go, but let me tell you in advance that the chance of winning the grand prize is not high."
Dong Niangniang is now considered a popular singer. "Invisible Wings" is still on the charts. It has dominated the charts for several months and is already one of the most popular songs this year.
If the awards were judged normally, Hu Jing would definitely have a share, but Cao Xuan is the vice chairman of the judges, so he naturally has to avoid suspicion.
Even if his relationship with Hu Jing has not been exposed, Hu Jing is still the number one sister in his company. If she is given an important award, it is likely to cause controversy.
The outside world doesn't care whether "Invisible Wings" is a hit or not. As long as the judges and winners are one and the same, all kinds of negative opinions will definitely be inevitable.
Cao Xuan didn't care about the hidden rules, but he didn't want Hu Jing to be involved in the shady situation. Besides, there was no need to pay such a high price for this award.
"I don't want an award, I can just be a presenter. I haven't given an award to anyone yet."
Hu Jing was not very interested in the singer award, and she didn't want to embarrass Cao Xuan. She mainly wanted to join in the fun and see her man's majesty live, and she didn't forget to drag Empress Nishigong along with her.
"Get one for Teacher Zeng, she will definitely want to see it too."
"..."
Cao Xuan would definitely not forget Zeng Li, but he would definitely not say it in front of Hu Jing. Unexpectedly, Hu Jing would take the initiative to remind him.
He is now really curious about how much the relationship between the two has improved in the half month since he went abroad after the road show.
After talking about the music festival, Hu Jing suddenly remembered something, opened the web page, logged into her email, and talked while operating.
"I received a script two days ago. I think it's pretty good and I really want to act in it."
Hu Jing opened her email, clicked on the script inside, and asked Cao Xuan to read the introduction.
"The plot is quite simple, but it looks very simple and makes me feel special. The crew seems to have little money. I plan to let the company invest. If you don't like it, I will invest with my own money."
Hu Jing is the deputy director of Fanxing's film and television production department and can recommend the company to invest in and produce some projects.
However, Fanxing's investment threshold is very high. Cao Xuan has always wanted Fanxing to make high-quality films and TV projects, and the project is not just a matter of investment.
If Hu Jing wants to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions by herself, Cao Xuan can get the money, but if she wants to invest in a project in the name of Fanxing, even if it is 1 million, he must personally review and approve it.
After hearing Hu Jing's explanation, Cao Xuan opened the email without comment and raised his eyebrows.
"Both of us, is this the story of Chu Qing and Fan Xiaopang?"
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be the movie "The Two of Us". Cao Xuan had actually seen this movie. It was a story about a girl and an old lady getting along. It was very heartwarming and it was a good literary movie.
Mrs. Jin Yaqin, the original heroine of time and space, won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and the Best Actress at the Tokyo Film Festival for this film.
Hu Jing has a round face and a tender face. Even though she is already 25 this year, she looks like a little girl in her early 20s after dressing up a little. She is quite suitable for the role of this little girl.
"The script is good. I'll inform Lao Ding and the others later, and then I'll vote for it. You are solely responsible for it."
"Very good."
Hu Jing happily kissed him. Although she had served as a producer for many productions before, she was mostly appointed by the company.
The "Two of Us" project can be said to have been unearthed by her. That kind of achievement and satisfaction is not something ordinary projects can give her.
"If our crew wants to find a courtyard for location shooting, please help us."
Hu Jing immediately stepped into the role of producer and began to pick off her own man, and Cao Xuan didn't care.
"I'll give you a business card. All our properties are managed by this property company. Except for Cao's Hutong, Cao Shangfei and Dashi, where my parents live, you can choose the rest by yourself."
"Is there any decoration? The decoration is too good and does not fit the positioning of the movie."
"It seems there is, you can ask yourself."
There are so many houses that Cao Xuan can’t remember them all. Now that he is rich and busy, he doesn’t even look for a house by himself. Instead, he relies on an agency to help him choose a house. If he is satisfied, he pays to buy it.
Then it is left to the property management company to take care of it. It should be renovated and renovated. The houses you like can be kept in your hands, and the ones you don't like can be rented out. A dedicated financial team will handle the accounts every month.
There was no other way. The two daughters-in-law were too busy to be tenants, and they didn't want their parents to worry about it, so they could only entrust professionals to take care of it.
For this reason, Cao Xuan also learned from the experience that he rarely buys scattered properties unless they are high-quality properties. Management is too troublesome.
Later, when Qian has more money, he can directly take over the entire apartment or office building, just to make it easier to collect rent...
………
Hu Jing got Cao Xuan's nod and excitedly contacted the property management and director to prepare for a big fight.
Cao Xuan finished the invitation letter and sent it to the organizing committee by email. After they polished it, it was widely distributed in the Chinese music scene in the name of Cao Xuan.
After that, Cao Xuan focused on the new album. He went abroad for half a month and shot for a few days when he came back. He finally finished shooting all the related MVs and the entire album was completed.
This album, tentatively titled "Relea Color" by Cao Xuan, is translated as "Release" in Chinese.
Zeng Li gave the name because he felt that this album conveyed a lot of emotions, especially the two rock songs, which had a sense of release and venting. Cao Xuan thought it was good and used it.
If it were him, he would probably have to think about it for a long time, and then just put "27" on it and be done with it.
In fact, this is not bad, even quite cool, but Cao Xuan is a bit obsessive-compulsive. The first album was called "Chris Tsao", and he felt very awkward when the age was unified later.
Moreover, celebrities are very particular about choosing according to their age. Each age has its own creative ideas, and each age has its own music style. He is a big skewer and has albums of various styles, so there is no need to learn from others.
There is no obvious difference in technique and style between "27" and "32" and "45". Therefore, it is meaningless to distinguish by age. It is better to just use the year "2003".
"Relea Color" is a pretty good name, Cao Xuan really likes it.
The last one was called "Chris Tsao" to introduce myself, and this one is called "Relea Color" to release his emotions and continue to impact the international music scene.
The next one is a big one like "Bright Stars", the English title is simply "Legend".
"Stars Shining" means "Among the stars in the music world, I am the brightest", while "Legend" means more simply "I am a legend".
The first album became famous, the second album reached the top, and the third album became a god!
This is something Cao Xuan has done in the Chinese music scene, and he plans to do it again in Europe and the United States.
Even if there are many great celebrities in Europe and the United States, Cao Xuan cannot be the most dazzling one, but as long as he can be ranked among them, he can be regarded as the number one superstar in the international music scene.
Now, the album has been recorded and promoted, and it will start charting the day after tomorrow, and will be officially released worldwide on September 25th.
Cao Xuan will attend the CCTV-MTV Music Festival after the National Day, and then fly to the United States, Europe and Asia to promote.
Yes, with the foundation of the World Cup and "Ch Ris Tsao", Cao Xuan also has a certain degree of popularity and popularity in Europe. This time when the new album is released, he has to go to Europe for a tour, and when he comes back, he will make an appearance in Japan and South Korea.
These two countries are where Cao Xuan's English albums sell best in the Asian market, second only to China.
Even in terms of purchase ratio and album influence, these two countries are slightly stronger than China.
This is also normal. Because of the language, Cao Xuan’s Chinese albums are definitely more popular than English albums in China.
Overseas, except for a few countries and regions that are deeply influenced by Chinese, Cao Xuan's English albums are the basis for his international fame.
Sometimes Cao Xuan is lucky. Thanks to South America and Australia, his popularity is not particularly high, and the market potential is limited, and Africa is too poor. Otherwise, every time he releases an album, he has to travel around the world, which is tiring and wastes time.
I will leave for promotion in early October and will probably return to China at the end of October or early November.
The new movie "Xiu Chun Knife" is scheduled to start shooting in mid-October and will be completed before the Spring Festival. The schedule will definitely conflict. Fortunately, it will not waste too much time. Film other people's scenes first, and then wait for Cao Xuan to come back.
Actually, there was no need to be in such a hurry. The key was that Mr. Xu was busy filming "Seven Swords" and the schedules of both parties could not be adjusted, so we had to make do with it.
………
On September 18, Cao Xuan was called to accompany the leaders to inspect Fanxing Film and Television City.
The external slogan of Fanxing Film and Television City is to build the largest film and television base in the north. The initial investment is as high as 500 million to 1 billion yuan, making it one of the most valuable cultural and tourism projects in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
This has also resulted in Fanxing Film and Television City being highly valued by relevant leaders from the very beginning of the project.
On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, the second-in-command of Hebei Province and the city security team came in person. Now, a few months after the construction started, it has begun to take shape. The leaders of Guozihao came to inspect the site in person, and Cao Xuan was able to show his face in front of the leaders.
"Comrade Xiao Cao is very rare. He actively develops his own industrial connections, drives local economic development and cultural awareness, and increases the employment rate. Work hard. If you are a big star, you can also create a star company."
After sending away the amiable leader, Cao Xuan straightened his back. With the leader's words, he could ward off many monsters and monsters.
Being at the emperor's feet has this advantage: it is easy to be targeted, but it is also easy to be regarded as a model.
The former is troublesome enough, and you may end up exhausted and embarrassed, but if you want to become the latter, it is a smooth road.
Cao Xuan has been thinking about this matter since the day he was thinking about Fanxing Film and Television City. He has put in a lot of effort behind it and even rarely opened his mouth to his biggest backer.
Fortunately, his hard work has not been in vain, and Fanxing Film and Television City can live a solid life for a few years.
After surviving these few years, it will no longer be a broad road, but a smooth road to the sky...
