379 The heroes of the music world bow their heads, and Cao Xuan is domineering as king
October 3, Beijing Workers Stadium
Crowds have been gathering since noon, and before 3 o'clock, almost tens of thousands of people gathered nearby.
Today is the 5th CCTV-MTV Music Festival + 100-Star Charity Concert to Celebrate the Victory in the Fight against SARS.
Starting from mid-September, the organizing committee has successively released some performers, award guests, and nomination lists through the media. The dense list of singers and stars has left the media and outside audiences stunned.
A well-informed person soon broke the news in Tianya. It is rumored that Cao Xuan personally took action and contacted various singers. Finally, he used his reputation to attract all the heroes and was able to promote this biggest event in the Chinese music scene in the past ten years.
The nickname of Cao Da League Leader spread like wildfire.
His fans were showing off their pride, and other fans didn't argue with them.
Firstly, Cao Xuan's prestige and appeal have really shocked many people. Secondly, considering Cao Xuan's past achievements, he is already the number one person in the Chinese music scene, so it is not unreasonable to be a leader.
The most important thing is that Cao Xuan's new English album "Relea Color" will be released on September 25th.
The latest issue of Billboard No. 30 was announced. It took only half a week for three songs to land on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
The most popular songs "Freeloop" and "Sugar" both entered the top 50 in their first week, with "Freeloop" approaching the top 30.
You must know that September 25th is a Thursday, and it only took half a week to achieve this result. Although it largely relied on the popularity Cao Xuan accumulated last year, this outstanding start result is still worthy of special mention.
Ichiban.
Not to mention that he won two Grammys this year. Based on this, Cao Xuan claims to be second in the Chinese music world, and there is no first place in the Chinese music world.
Cao Xuan may be controversial in other aspects, but his achievements and status in the Chinese music scene are self-evident.
Except for a few trolls, basically more than 95% of people agree with him. Even if they don't like his songs, they won't open their eyes and tell lies.
The media also praised this event very much.
They are happy, just listing various celebrities will not lack any material. If there is a little friction, competing for each other's show, and competing for a position, they will start a conspiracy theory, which will keep them popular for several months.
So all the major media were dispatched, including several media from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and some Asian media also sent people.
Because this event is of a concert nature, 50,000 tickets are sold to the public. Of course, the actual sales may not be that many. There will be some parts that give away tickets, and there will also be a special artist guest area.
After all, it is an awards ceremony, and it often depends on the faces of these celebrities to attract ratings. This must be taken into consideration.
According to the original plan, the awards ceremony and concert will take a total of three and a half hours.
It officially started at 7 p.m., but around 4 p.m. guests began to enter through the side door where the red carpet was set up, and at 5:30 p.m., several other doors were opened to let the audience in.
Before entering the venue, many spectators came to the red carpet to watch the excitement. Although they were separated by special guardrails, they could still catch a glimpse of many stars.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet officially started. The location hosts were two newcomers from CCTV, who were responsible for introducing and interacting with the guests. The entire process was broadcast live on CCTV Music Channel.
The arrangement of the organizing committee of the CCTV-MTV Music Festival is very realistic. The less famous ones will walk on the red carpet first, and a few famous ones will come out to boost the ratings.
Influential celebrities and singers are placed in the middle and later stages, and several heavyweight guests are the finale.
Phoenix Legend was also on the red carpet today because of its boss, but because of its low reputation, it was scheduled to appear very early.
Wearing a dress specially provided by the company, she walked around the red carpet. Many viewers of "I Love to Remember Lyrics" recognized her and shouted a few times.
"Linghua!"
"That man from Phoenix Legend!"
Although Zeng Yi was a little disappointed not to be called by his name, the two of them were still a little happy to be recognized.
There were scattered cheers everywhere, although most of them were in keeping with the atmosphere, but they also made them feel warm in their hearts as they were walking on the red carpet for the first time.
It's been more than a year since Phoenix Legend joined Fanxing, and they haven't officially released a single yet.
To be more precise, the single has been produced, and more than one song has even been produced, but none of them have been released.
Among the five singers who joined Fanxing at the same time, Daolang was the first to release the single "Impulsive Punishment", which became a hit and sold well.
Currently working on his first album, he is also the only singer to be officially released by the company so far.
The other two supporting singers also released singles this year, but their results were mediocre. Although the company did not directly kick them out, related resources will definitely be reduced.
If there is no concrete improvement in the future, as new people join the company, they may be marginalized or even terminated directly.
Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao have accumulated a lot of popularity due to their outstanding performance in "I Love Remembering Lyrics" and are the key singers cultivated by the company.
According to the original plan, they would release a single to debut in the first half of this year, but due to the program "Tomorrow's Star", Cao Xuan stopped it.
Cao Xuan means that the popularity of the three of them is still limited now, and it is hard to predict the effect of their debut. It is better to postpone it for a year and participate in "Tomorrow Star". After gaining enough popularity, they can skip the single and release the album directly.
Not only for the future of the three people, but also for the sake of the "Tomorrow Star" program.
Although the program does not restrict the participation of singers who have already debuted, it is only for the outside world. If a singer within Fanxing becomes famous after his debut, it would be somewhat unfair to participate in the competition. If it is pointed out afterwards, it will be a small negative news.
So it is better to wait for a year, and the three of them will directly produce the album during this year, and then go to participate in "Tomorrow's Star", which can not only increase their popularity but also promote new songs, and then wait for the show to end and use the remaining heat to debut directly.
Although the company's arrangement disappointed the three people who were eager to debut, they are not stupid either.
"Stars of Tomorrow" is a key variety show project of the company. They are Fanxing's own people. Although they won't take special care of them openly, they will definitely take care of them. It is a good opportunity to show their faces.
Moreover, the company also allowed them to turn from singles to albums, not deliberately suppressing them, but cultivating them with all their strength. They can afford this time.
And even during this period, they have always been posting on "I Love to Remember Lyrics". The monthly notification fee is not small, and the company's remuneration is also guaranteed. The three of them are willing to follow the company's arrangements.
The company was very satisfied with the obedience of the three people and was willing to give them some sweeteners, so this time they brought them to the award ceremony.
Although I can't go on stage, it's a rare experience to meet the big names in the music industry up close off the stage. Ordinary singers don't have the chance.
Phoenix Legend thought the same way and secretly stuffed several autograph books into his body, planning to shamelessly ask for autographs later to see if there was a chance to take a photo with him and show off to his friends later.
After walking through the red carpet, the two newcomers who had not yet debuted had nothing to interview. They signed their names on the signature wall with a little excitement, and then went to the guest area of the infield.
The audience hadn't entered the venue yet, so the venue was empty. The two of them found their seats at the back, but they couldn't sit still at all and started chatting without anything to say.
"I wonder if King Liu is coming? I heard that there are four heavenly kings to help."
"It is said that several people came, but I don't know who they are."
For singers of their age, the Four Heavenly Kings have an extraordinary status in their hearts, and it is difficult not to pay attention to this aspect.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, people kept coming in, but most of them didn't know each other or were not familiar with each other, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense. It wasn't until Gu Miaomiao and Daolang came in that they became a little more lively.
They joined the company together and worked together in "I Love to Remember Lyrics" for more than a year. They still had a good relationship and chatted for a while.
As the time got later and later, many well-known singers and celebrities began to enter the venue one after another. The side door of the red carpet outside the venue gradually became noisy from quiet, until the sound shook the sky, and several people in the venue could hear it clearly.
"Who is this, so popular?"
"I don't know."
Several people looked at each other silently, with doubts on their faces. After a few minutes, three girls came to the guest area with smiles on their faces, and everyone understood.
Emotions are like snakes! HE released a new album this summer, and the title song "Supetar" is popular all over the country.
The phrase "You dominate, I adore you, there is no better way, I can only love you and seduce you, Mysupetar", even the children in kindergarten will hum.
Snake Group also entered the mainland market in one fell swoop and became extremely popular. It is known as the number one Chinese girl group. Even Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi and Cai Yilin had to avoid the limelight.
Phoenix Legend is still very concerned about shooting. They are also a team, and they may have to deal with each other in some places in the future.
Although the opponent is a giant to them so far, the two still do not want to weaken their momentum.
However, the Snake Group didn't know them at all. There were so many singers here, and even Chen Jiahua, who was familiar with them, would not say hello to all of them. They would just chat with their acquaintances and blend in with the Taiwanese singers.
A few minutes later, singer Azar, who sang "It Doesn't Matter", entered the venue. He took the first look at Daolang, and then found two mainland singers to talk to.
Daolang, who had always been reserved, also raised his eyes, but ignored them. Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao looked at them, with the fire of gossip shining in their eyes.
It is an open secret in the music industry that the two have conflicts. When Daolang became popular last year, Azar got angry about "Punishment of Impulse".
However, Daolang is not someone to be bullied right now. Azar is on good terms with Beijing singers, and he has the stars behind him.
Wei Xixi, the deputy director of the Fanxing music department and the producer of Daolang's single, spoke directly.
"It doesn't matter if you say other people's songs have no connotation, why don't you look at yourself first? Why do I smell so much sourness..."
Wei Xixi is Cao Xuan's royal producer. He has won the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Award and has won numerous awards in the Mainland. He has contributed to most of Cao Xuan's albums.
In terms of status in the music industry, Zhang Yadong would not dare to say that he can surpass Wei Xixi now. If it weren't for Lao Wei not composing much music, there would be no suspense about being the number one music producer in the Mainland.
In terms of qualifications, Wei also worked for major record companies in his early years, and Azar was still living in a basement at that time.
In terms of achievements, even if Lao Wei cannot compare with the founders of the sect like Li Zongsheng, he is not far behind. At least the albums produced by Li Zongsheng have not won Grammys.
Although many people say that Wei Xixi is hugging Cao Xuan's lap, others can't hug her even if they want to. The real results are here. There are only a few people in the music industry who can criticize anyone they want.
Azar's "It Doesn't Matter" was a hit, but he wasn't qualified enough to challenge Wei Xixi. He was scolded and didn't dare to say a word, so he just gave up.
Because of this incident, all the little thoughts that Dao Lang, Phoenix Legend and others had about Xiao Hong disappeared instantly.
I dare not say that I have been completely devoted to the company since then, but at least I will not have any second thoughts in a short period of time...
Afterwards, amid cheers again, the Hong Kong girl group Twins, who also became popular this year with "Next Stop Queen", entered the stage.
Soon after, Teacher Chen, Zhang Yunu and Chef Xie also arrived at the scene.
"Didn't you say that the guy has a bad relationship with the boss? Why are you here?"
Quietly pointing at Chef Xie, Gu Miaomiao couldn't help but ask. Zeng Yi scratched his head: "I guess it's just what others say. I didn't say that Nan Ren and Bei Cao were mortal enemies before. I asked Teacher Wei and he said they have a good relationship."
"Perhaps the relationship is indeed not good, but given the current status of the boss, there is no need to hold on to small grievances. Finding an opportunity to resolve them is a mature approach."
Daolang is older and can see more clearly. With today's momentum, no one knows who will be the boss of the Chinese music scene in the future. To challenge Cao Xuan at this time is really a big deal.
Not long after, Xiao Zhou and others also entered the venue one after another. Almost 80% to 90% of the guests came, and the scene was divided into four parts.
There are one group of mainland artists, another group of Xiangjiang artists, another group of Taiwanese artists, and some unsociable artists sitting in their seats.
Around 5 p.m., a second-rate star quietly entered the venue. Others didn't pay much attention. Several artists from Fanxing got up and came over to say hello.
"Sister Li, why don't you come to my side and my seat is closer to the front, or I can switch with someone else and come over to accompany you."
Fan Xiaopang covered her low neckline and spoke quietly to Zeng Li. Despite her late arrival, she had done a good job in intelligence work.
Not all the senior artists in the company knew the importance of Zeng Li. Not long after she joined the company, she knew that there was a non-staff Buddha in Fanxing. Today, when she saw the Empress of the West Palace taking her place, she hurriedly came over to show her hospitality.
"No, no, you should present the award, right? It's fine if you sit in front and have a camera, and I'll be in the back."
Zeng Li was very polite, and Fan Xiaopang did not dare to disturb him. He said a few words, left his phone number, and then left. Gao Yuanyuan immediately took over.
"Sister Li, I am Yuan Yuan..."
It wasn't until Yuan Quan and Xia Yu came in that Empress Xigong was quiet for a while and couldn't help lowering her head and complaining.
"If I had known it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have come to the guest area."
"Is this still troublesome?"
Yuan Quan curled his lips: "Wait a little longer, and you will know what trouble is."
As soon as he finished speaking, piercing screams sounded outside the venue. After a while, Hu Jing and International Zhang entered the venue holding hands. Many artists immediately stood up to greet them.
Most of them are chasing after Hu Jing, one of the top four beauties in the International Chapter. She is in the C position wherever she goes, but today she was left out in the cold.
However, International Chapter didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction. He held Empress Donggong's hand and kept smiling, just like a good Chinese best friend.
Yuan Quan curled his lips even more and poked Zeng Li: "Do you think she dares to come over and say hello to you?"
"I would like to know if you want to say hello to Jingjing?"
"Just hit us. What do our college classmates have to fear?"
He said this, but Yuan Quan never got up. Instead, Hu Jing and Jiuji Zhang came over on their own initiative. The two stood up, and Hu Jing and Zeng Li took the lead in hugging each other. The "good sisters" then reminisced about the past together.
Just kidding, Class 96 of China National Drama Theater is famous, and they are all roommates. If they don’t say hello in front of so many people, the next day the gossip will be all over the place.
So no matter what you think in your heart, as long as you meet them, they are good friends who can wear a skirt.
They are all top students in Chinese opera. Their acting skills are outstanding and not stiff at all. The scene where friends reunited moved outsiders...
At 5:20, there are still 10 minutes before the audience enters the venue, and it is almost the finale of the red carpet.
If ranked according to the coffee position, even if Cao Xuan is not a bottom saver, there will be no problem in the finale.
However, Cao Xuan considered that he was half the host and was less than 30 years old, so he went to the organizing committee to arrange for himself to enter the venue before some seniors.
Anyway, with his reputation, people will not think that he is inferior to others. Such humility will lead to praise for his low-key and respectful attitude.
The scene was so big this time, and Cao Xuan was already very popular. If he paid more attention to some details, it would actually be easy to get a favorable impression. However, he was not attractive at all, and instead made people feel that he was too sharp.
Cao Xuan's appearance also caused the biggest wave of noise among the red carpet spectators so far. The guests could hear it clearly in the audience, and many people already knew it.
When Cao Xuan's figure walked across the red carpet and came to the infield, all the singers and artists from the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan stood up.
Cao Xuan walked forward step by step. Xiao Zhou, with quick eyes and quick mouth, was the first to shout.
"Brother Xuan!"
Fang Wenshan, who was next to him, immediately reacted and shouted.
"Brother Xuan!"
Cai Yilin, Stefanie Sun, She Tuan, Elva Hsiao, Zhang Shaohan and other Taiwanese singers also reacted one after another and followed suit with sweet words.
"Brother Xuan!"
A certain king, Adu, Tao Zhe, Mayday and others looked at each other and lowered their heads: "Brother Xuan!"
On the other hand, under the leadership of Yu Quan and Jin Haixin, many new-generation singers and artists from the mainland, regardless of age, have their voices complementing those of Taiwanese artists.
"Brother Xuan!"
"Brother Xuan!"
Cao Xuan has basically dealt with all the new generation singers from Mainland China and Taiwan, and many of them have been mentored by him, but he doesn't know many singers from Xiangjiang.
When the Taiwanese and mainland singers called each other "big brother", a group of people looked at each other a little hesitantly, but this did not include Eason Chan.
He is Cao Xuan's personally recognized younger brother. He previously "adapted" Cao Xuan's two songs "Ten Years" and "Long Time No See" into Cantonese versions. They were well received, sold well, and won many awards. Now he is vaguely aware of
The meaning of being the first person in the new generation music scene in Hong Kong.
Chen Yixun was convinced of Cao Xuan, and he was full of gratitude in his heart. Others hesitated, but he would not, so he showed his trademark honest smile and shouted loudly.
"Brother Xuan!"
As soon as he let go, Zhang Yunv immediately followed suit and called out sweetly with a slight Cantonese accent: "Brother Xuan!"
The two took the lead, and the rest Liang Hanwen, Yang Qianhua, Rong Zuer, Twins and others also spoke one after another. The unruly teacher Chen hesitated and opened his mouth in a low voice.
"Brother Xuan!"
Among the new generation of young singers in Xiangjiang, only Chef Xie looked hesitant and struggled, and did not speak for a long time.
From the moment he entered the venue, Cao Xuan kept smiling and nodding in greetings from many artists, and now he just looked over with a smile.
Ah Feng, you don’t even want to call me Brother Xuan?
Although Cao Xuan didn't say a word, many people still felt an irresistible pressure. Many people swallowed silently and couldn't help but feel nervous for Chef Xie.
Chef Xie was also a little unable to hold back. Cao Xuan's smile and the crowd's onlookers made him clenched his fists and wanted to bow his head. However, he had been stubborn and resentful after being suppressed and beaten by Cao Xuan in the past few years. How could he do that?
Let him open his mouth easily,
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense, Zhang Yunu couldn't help but push him.
Only then did Chef Xie react, remembering what his godfather had said before he came, and closed his eyes slightly.
"...Brother Xuan!"
Although the tone was harsh, Cao Xuan didn't care. He patted A Feng on the shoulder and continued walking forward. "Brother Xuan" was greeted again and again in the venue.
this moment
All the heroes in the singing world bowed their heads, and Cao Xuan became the king!
The Legend of Phoenix and several people stood behind, looking at each other with excitement. If they could have such a day in the future, it would be worth it even if they died directly.
Many female artists looked at Cao Xuan with ecstasy, and their eyes started to get angry. If there weren't so many people present, many people would have wanted to pounce on Cao Xuan and "eat him alive" or be "lived" by Cao Xuan.
eat".
The East and West Palaces also felt the attention of many female artists and silently gritted their teeth.
But I have to admit that in those few minutes, Cao Xuan's charm exploded, and the confidence and domineering radiating from him were fascinating.
Hu Jing and Zeng Li looked up at each other in unison, looking at each other across the distance, sparks flying in their beautiful eyes.
He belongs to me tonight!
But the most exciting thing was the CCTV program team and the audience in front of the TV. As one of the C-seaters tonight, even though Cao Xuan passed the red carpet, there were still cameramen following him to take pictures of the scene inside.
As a result, this famous scene [Both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places bowed their heads, King Cao Dayang was the most respected] was also broadcast live on CCTV and spread to thousands of TV sets.
Seeing Cao Xuan walking all the way after entering the venue, all the guests in the venue stood up to greet him. For several minutes, they kept saying "Brother Xuan". The new generation singers were all well-behaved and sensible.
The TV viewers' scalps were numb and goosebumps were rising all over their bodies. They could not help but clench their fists and scream.
"Cao Xuan is awesome!"
As for Cao Xuan, who entered the venue greeted by everyone, walked to his seat and sat down, seat C in the first row, next to the chairman of the music festival organizing committee, the other person was a certain leader at the publicity center.
In the beginning, the chairman's level was not that high. Later, as the scale of the ceremony expanded, relevant units sent leaders to take charge of it. The original chairman also became the vice chairman, alongside Cao Xuan.
The leader has not yet arrived. After Cao Xuan took his seat, he chatted with a few familiar boys.
During this period, I took a few more glances at a certain young man surnamed Wang. He looked like a humble gentleman, and I felt a little emotional for a moment.
This little brother will not be able to write more in the future, and I don’t know how many of the little brothers and sisters named Brother Xuan can write today if this continues...
