The song "Borrowing the Moon" is a song created during the anti-epidemic period of later generations. It was mainly targeted at the medical workers who went to the front line to fight the epidemic at that time.
Later, this song really became popular because it was the theme song of the TV series "The Order of Mountains and Rivers".
During the publicity period for the centenary of the founding of the Party, this song was often used by state media as the BGM for videos paying tribute to the martyrs.
Cao Xuan participated in the Spring Festival Gala this year. At the beginning of the program, two themes were set. One was about SARS and the other was about Shenwu. I heard that it was given instructions by the superiors.
The song "Stars and Sea" from the year before last was so effective that Cao Xuan would naturally be asked for certain promotional tasks at certain times.
Of course, this task is not mandatory, and it still depends on Cao Xuan’s own thoughts. After all, proposition creation is not something that can be done just by writing. If there is no particularly good work, it does not mean that other performance songs cannot be used.
However, Cao Yuan still accepted the task. After several considerations, he finally chose the song "Borrowing the Moon".
The song "Borrowing the Moon" cannot be regarded as a particularly classic, but it is strong in its ability to express emotions. Together with the edited short film, the melody and lyrics are very touching.
The performance at the party is not about releasing an album, the songs should serve the performance, and the priority of the performance is greater than whether the song itself is excellent.
There is no doubt that "Borrowing the Moon" may not be a classic song, but judging from the performance, it is very outstanding.
In fact, Cao Xuan also made some upgrades to the song, especially the lyrics, and made some changes.
The original lyrics are actually a bit far-fetched, and the wording is too plain, and many places even rhyme for the sake of rhyming.
Cao Xuan has been harvesting wool for so many years, and now he is actually very good at his professional abilities.
Even if he were to create an original song now, I wouldn't say it would be a classic. It would be perfectly fine if it was of a medium level.
If you become a tailor and do some small splicing, you may even come up with a small hit with a high probability.
Therefore, Cao Xuan may not have the courage to modify some classic songs, but for many relatively weak songs, it is still okay to modify the lyrics and melody.
Besides, Cao Xuan also has a group of friends who are big names in the music industry, so we can communicate and discuss it. This is a very common thing in the creative process, and no one will doubt it.
Cao Xuan is personally quite satisfied with this performance. Although the song may not be ranked among his previous Spring Festival Galas, the performance can definitely compete for the top spot.
He had already finished praying at the dock where he was supposed to pay his respects, and went home early after the early performance. Cao Xuan did not stay too long backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, and chose to go home directly.
Unlike last year when he went home with Hu Jing and was ignored by his parents, this year Cao Xuan went to the Spring Festival Gala alone, while everyone else stayed at home, and the treatment he received was completely different.
The East Palace helps to change clothes to keep warm, while the West Palace helps with hot tea to ward off the cold!
Sun Lan looked at the harmonious and sweet young couple and smiled from ear to ear. Cao Shuangguo also frowned. Obviously, although Comrade Cao said he disliked it, he was still very satisfied with this scene in his heart.
However, Cao Xuan himself knew that although the East and West Palaces were virtuous, they were not virtuous enough to serve him together.
If you are here alone, there is still hope. If there are two people present together, at most one can help, and there will never be two people competing for service.
Official Cao has not let Dongxi and Ergong be obsessed with each other to that extent. If they don't show off together, it will be very embarrassing...
The reason why he was so cooperative today is probably because he was performing for the elderly couple. Of course, there is also a certain reason why he was moved by his performance.
Anyway, he looked at Zeng Li and Hu Jing with their eyes a little red, and asked if they were moved by hearing him sing the song "Borrowing the Moon" just now.
Not only the East and West Palaces, but Sun Lan also cried. Cao Shuangguo was really embarrassed to cry in front of his two daughters-in-law, so he reluctantly stopped.
Comrade Lao Cao also made corrections and criticisms on Cao Xuan's performance: "The intention of this song is definitely good, but after all, it is the New Year, and it is still a happy song in the future. It is unlucky to make people cry during the New Year.
"
"Indeed, your original song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was very good, so next time you will sing a festive one."
Sun Lan also expressed support during the Chinese New Year in their hometown, especially on the first day of the new year.
You cannot cry, quarrel, get angry, or have any negative emotions. Some extreme families do not even allow you to take medicine when you are sick on the first day of the new year.
To put it this way, it is a bad start for one year, and a similar negative state will continue in the next year.
Especially the older generation, they are more taboo about this. Although the Spring Festival Gala is on the New Year's Eve, the chance is not that big, but after all, it is not good to make people cry on the New Year's Eve.
"I'll try my best."
Cao Xuan didn't give an accurate answer. In fact, judging from the performance of the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years, relatively sad songs are more impressive.
A more festive song. Although it is suitable for the occasion, there are too many similar songs in the Spring Festival Gala, not to mention a large number of language programs.
In terms of making the audience laugh and enjoy themselves, no matter how good the songs are, it is hard to compare with other people's sketches.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Cao Xuan took a different approach. Although it caused a lot of criticism, whether it was "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Sea of Stars" or last year's "When You Get Old", he always gave
It created a very profound memory for the audience.
Of course, a large part of the reason here is that the song itself is of excellent quality and Cao Xuan sings it well.
But it cannot be denied that on the peaceful Spring Festival Gala stage, a song with a sad tone came. It is absolutely unique, unique, and unique, and it is once a year...
Even now, [Spring Festival Gala Tear-Jerker King] vaguely resembles Cao Xuan’s Spring Festival Gala label. Although Cao Xuan is unwilling to be condemned by the label, he will not give up the reputation he has earned easily.
But it would be good to have a more normal song next year, otherwise it would be a constant tear-jerker, and some people might not dare to watch it during the Spring Festival, so we can slow down the audience for a year or two, wait until they relax their vigilance, and then make a big move.
Delightful!
Cao Xuan picked up a dumpling, his eyes full of malice. Donggong and Ergong, who knew him well, looked at each other and began to wonder who was going to be tricked by Cao Daguan again.
………
Cao Xuan came back early this year and could finally have a comfortable New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala with his family.
This year's Spring Festival Gala program is generally pretty good. The biggest attraction, apart from Zhao, Cao and a few other Spring Festival Gala regulars, is that there is a singing group program.
There are three groups of singers in this program, one group is Zhao and Adu who have become popular in the past two years, the second group is Xiao Zhou, and the third group is Hong Kong and Taiwan big names Qi Qin and Mok Wenwei.
In terms of lineup popularity and celebrity status, this program can be ranked among the top three in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
In fact, it is equivalent to the big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan who must appear every year, but it is just a series of programs.
What is more eye-catching is that through this program, a certain Zhao announced that the previous turmoil was over. After all, he was on the Spring Festival Gala, which proved everything.
In fact, this matter has caused quite a stir on the Internet. Many people have expressed doubts, and some people have made shocking revelations. The "Four Young Masters of Beijing" who are deeply involved in the entertainment industry have gradually surfaced.
Of course, this name hasn't started to be called yet, but some of the relevant parties have already begun to become famous and active in gossip.
Cao Xuan followed him no matter what, sometimes he really wondered if these people were praised by others and had bad brains, so they dared to ask for any nicknames.
What is the family background of the four young masters of Beijing in the Republic of China? What is your family background? I really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.
Cao Xuan now has a net worth of nearly 10 billion, and is ranked in the top ten of Forbes mainland rich list. He is not even the richest man in the capital...
The capital is big and it is not easy to live there. The water here is deep inside and outside. If you think you are beautiful, you may think it is a joke in the eyes of outsiders.
However, although it is nothing in front of the big guys, it is enough to pick up girls in the entertainment industry. After all, not every star is as good at making money as Cao Xuan. After spending hundreds of thousands or millions, many people will be confused.
A certain Zhao was wiped out, but on the other hand, Xiao Zhou appeared in the Spring Festival Gala this year, even somewhat replacing the big names in Hong Kong in the past.
This also officially marked his status and influence as the King of Chinese Language, which was recognized by mainland China CCTV and other officials. Xiao Zhou's status as King of Chinese Language has since been settled.
The Spring Festival Gala is so awesome now, it is directly related to the popularity of Hong Kong and Taiwan's popular singers in the mainland. Only by attending the Spring Festival Gala can they truly break out in the mainland.
However, Xiao Zhou went to the Spring Festival Gala this time, built various momentum, and even had an online vote of 2 million, but the program he presented was really not satisfactory.
It's not that the song "Dragon Fist" is bad, but it's just not suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage.
This is a platform open to all audiences across the country, men, women, old and young, so pop songs must have popular and popular attributes and cater to audiences of most age groups as much as possible.
Even many young people don't like rap songs like "Dragon Fist", let alone middle-aged and elderly people. They have no idea what the young singer is doing. It's almost the same as screaming.
Cao Xuan glanced at the confused-looking old couple Cao Shuangguo and Ergong, who was also not very cold, and had to admit that Xiao Zhou's first Spring Festival Gala performance might not have a good reputation.
One person said that this cannot be blamed on Xiao Zhou. After all, Xiao Zhou is not Cao Xuan and can choose programs freely. Moreover, even if Cao Xuan is Cao Xuan, his programs must pass the assessment of the Spring Festival Gala director team.
Therefore, Xiao Zhou chose "Dragon Fist", a song that was not suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. The Spring Festival Gala directing team must bear part of the responsibility.
Based on Cao Xuan's understanding of the Spring Festival Gala directing team, it is not difficult to guess their psychology. He probably thinks that Xiao Zhou's fans are young people, and asking him to attend the Spring Festival Gala is also to attract young audiences.
This idea is actually correct, but the key point is that Xiao Zhou is not an ordinary singer.
Xiao Zhou is the new king of the Chinese language. He is in the limelight and has countless people watching him. To a certain extent, the pressure he is under this Spring Festival Gala is even more serious than Cao Xuan.
Therefore, if he wants to eliminate the voices from the outside world, he needs to come up with a perfect answer sheet. Once there are shortcomings or the presentation effect is not satisfactory, all kinds of controversies and doubts will come.
It can be expected that after "Dragon Fist", Xiao Zhou will face a new wave of public pressure.
Regarding these, Cao Xuan could not help him, and there was no way to help him. Even his previous Spring Festival Gala performances were not liked by everyone, and there were similar accusations and criticisms every year.
"Stars and Sea" has the best reputation and is supported by various official media, but there are still many public intellectuals and centrists on the Internet who set the pace.
So I can only rely on Xiao Zhou to survive on his own. Fortunately, Xiao Zhou is no longer a newcomer. His mental quality has been greatly improved, so it is probably not a big problem.
Xiao Zhou "turned over" and Lao Zhao's program this year was also a bit unsatisfactory.
"Water Delivery Man" is a program that has both laughs and tears. It is definitely a classic sketch.
But then again, sketches are mainly funny, and their tone is comedy. Once sensationalism or preaching is added, more than 95% of the sketches will get points, even for Lao Zhao.
In fact, Lao Zhao and Audio-Technica have worked very hard. Last year's "Heart Disease" had a certain didactic tone, but it was handled very humorously.
This year's "Water Delivery Man" involves plot and maternal love, so if you want to sublimate emotions, you can only go a sensational route. Even if you click on it, it still dilutes the overall comedy element of the sketch.
Of course, even so, "Water Delivery Man" is still the best sketch this year.
But there is no way, who makes him Zhao Benshan, who makes him the king of sketches. In the past two years, he has produced a series of excellent works such as "Selling Kidnappers" and "Selling Cars", which made the audience's requirements for him extremely high, even to the point of harshness.
the point.
Guo Dastanson, Pan Zi and Huang Hong can be as sensational as they want, and the sketches don't have to be funny.
But Lao Zhao can't do it. Everyone has been waiting for a year to watch your sketches, and they must come up with the best work.
Sometimes Cao Xuan felt sorry for Lao Zhao, and at the same time he felt sorry for himself.
Although the Spring Festival Gala audience's requirements for him are not as high as those of Lao Zhao, they are actually quite high.
For other singers, a score of 80 is considered excellent, but for him, a score of 80 can only be considered a passing grade. Everyone will not be satisfied until he scores 90 or more, otherwise he will be warned.
Hearing Lao Cao mutter that the skit wasn't as funny as it was originally, Cao Xuan secretly made up his mind.
If he still attends the Spring Festival Gala after 2010, then at the latest he will not do it until Lao Zhao bids farewell to the Spring Festival Gala.
Now with Lao Zhao at the front, there is still some balance. Without Lao Zhao, everyone is looking at him, and the pressure is too great. If you don't find it, you will suffer...
After watching the Spring Festival Gala, the family went back to their respective houses to sleep. This time Sun Lan did not dare to lock the door like last year.
After all, one was locked, and the other couldn't make a fuss. She was tempted to lock both of them in, but she was afraid that the three of them would fight, so she had to give up.
………
When he got up the next day, Cao Xuan went to various houses to pay New Year greetings, and the stamina of the Spring Festival Gala began to show.
As Cao Xuan expected, "Dragon Fist" and Xiao Zhou were dissed by various media and experts. Lao Zhao also received some criticism, and Cao Xuan was no exception.
After all, in terms of the song itself, "Borrowing the Moon" is the lower standard song in his previous Spring Festival Gala programs. Some people said that this song is not as amazing as last year's "When You Get Old".
However, there are not many similar voices, mainly due to the cleverness of the subject matter and concept.
There is a banner to pay tribute to the medical staff and workers fighting SARS. This song comes with a golden body protection, and once again, like "Stars and Seas" the year before, it has been praised by various official media.
At the same time, Cao Xuan also gained favor among medical workers. Many medical workers expressed their love for the song and their gratitude to Cao Xuan online.
When he gets sick and goes to the hospital for injections in the future, the nurse's approach should be gentler...
The song "Borrowing the Moon" also hit the music charts in just one day. This is partly due to the influence of the Spring Festival Gala, but also Cao Xuan's own popularity.
As the first person in the Chinese music scene, the first person in the Asian music scene, and the world's pop king, Cao Xuan's influence on music today is very terrifying.
Let's put it this way, if Cao Xuan sings any song now, he can make it popular with his super popularity and fan base.
Even if it's "Ximen Qing's Tears", many people think this song is good.
There are even little experts in reading comprehension who analyze whether there is any deep meaning in the lyrics, and whether the popular song expresses Cao Xuan's rejection of feudal society and his appreciation for free love...
This is the influence of the King of the World. Any song sung by him will be cast with a halo. The only difference lies in how popular the song is and how long it will remain popular, rather than being unknown.
However, Cao Xuan no longer cares whether "Borrowing the Moon" is popular or not. After the New Year greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Xuan is planning to take the East and West Palaces to travel abroad.
Originally, he wanted to bring his parents with him, but the old couple didn't want to disturb their three-person world, so Cao Xuan had no choice but to be "unfilial".
This trip to Europe lasted for half a month. They first went to Northern Europe, saw the Aurora, and then tried skiing and going to sea. Because they were not satisfied, the three of them went to the Alps and surrounding countries to appreciate the local scenery and people.
During this period, Cao Xuan took the time to watch a Manchester United game and a Milan derby. Finally, the three of them went to Paris to do some shopping at the Champs Elysees and returned home with a full load.
This half month can be regarded as the most relaxing time for the three of them in recent years.
Except for Cao Xuan's disguise, the East and West Palaces don't have to worry about exposing their identities and relationships like in China and attracting onlookers, and they can play as they please.
The relationship between the three of them also progressed, especially that night in Iceland, when Cao Xuan rented a yacht to see the Aurora, and it happened that there was only one "bed" on the boat.
It was a cold night. Although there were measures to keep warm, it was still a bit cold. With Cao Xuan's coaxing, the three of them squeezed into the same bed and slept all night.
Although Cao Xuan failed in the end, it was the first time that the three of them slept together for a night, which was already a huge improvement.
Moreover, Cao Xuan also received some interest during this period, hugging him from left to right, raising and lowering his hands, which was very pleasant.
Of course, such pleasure did not come without a price. Even after returning home, the bruises on Cao Xuan's body that night were not completely gone.
But Cao Daguan didn't care. Half of his long-cherished wish in life had been fulfilled. Not to mention the slight physical pain, even if he lost two pieces of flesh, he felt it was worth it.
The three of them, who were still unsatisfied, returned to China after their vacation, shared the specialty gifts they had bought, and officially started the new year's work.
Teacher Zeng returned to the Chinese Opera to take classes and went abroad for half a month to play. She took several days off and had to show up quickly to prevent the monkey cubs in the class from going to heaven.
The winter scenes of Hu Jing's "The Two of Us" have come to an end for the time being, and the summer scenes will start filming, at least after June.
Hu Jing, who had freed up her schedule for half a year, simply took on the role of producer of "Beauty's Scheming" because she didn't like the script.
This is also the highlight of Fanxing's investment this year, with a production cost of more than 20 million. Compared with the original version, the costumes, related scenery and big scenes are all qualitatively improved.
After all, the original version of Dead Girl is said to have cost a huge investment of 50 million to create, but looking at the number of actors and actresses, the actual cost is estimated to be less than half.
With the same cost, but a few years ahead of schedule, the investment in the two dramas can be easily compared. Even in the entire field of TV dramas at the moment, "Beauty's Scheming" can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end production.
Even calling it a big production is not an exaggeration. After all, you can count the number of TV series with an investment of more than 20 million yuan every year on two hands.
Cao Xuan also counted the "Chaoge City" part of Fanxing Film and Television City as the head of the "Beauty's Scheming" crew, claiming to have spent hundreds of millions to restore the pavilions and courtyards of the Han Palace.
In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Beauty's Scheming" is a major production worth hundreds of millions...
Fan Xiaopang plays the heroine Dou Yifang, and Yang Xue plays three roles. They are all villains, which can be regarded as enough villain addiction.
Moreover, Cao Xuan recently connected with Wang Jing through the Emperor, and Cao Xuan's Guolan will also participate in the subsequent projects he will lead, such as "The Best in the World", "Little Fish and Flowers" and "Eight Heroes".
cast.
As one of the producers, it is not difficult to include a few actors.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Yuyan in "Little Fish and Flowers" will still be played by Yang Xue, and the other two dramas will also have actors from the galaxy participating.
To be honest, Cao Xuan once wanted to recruit Wang Jing, or directly win all his series of martial arts dramas. After all, most of these works have made money and the quality is guaranteed.
But the difference between the two sides is that Wang Jing wants to praise people from Xiangjiang more, while Cao Xuan's request is mainly mainland actors.
If consensus cannot be reached in this regard, cooperation will naturally come to nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that these TV series are wildly imaginative, have serious magic changes, and have similar models to a certain extent, more than 90% of which are attributed to Wang Jing's writing team, Cao Xuan would have let Fanxing cut him off.
But since we can't stop Hu, let's work together to make money, and at the same time praise our own family.
Considering that the people in Xiangjiang were careless, Cao Xuan asked Guolan to come forward and only participate in the investment but not the production. Otherwise, if there was a disturbance, Fanxing might also be affected.
Let's talk about "Beauty's Scheming" again. In addition to Fan Xiaopang and Yang Xue, there is also a very important role of Xue Yuan, which has not been decided yet.
Liu Tianxian and Dong Xuan are going to star in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and Gao Yuanyuan doesn't want to be a "maid" for Fan Xiaopang.
Cao Xuan considered whether to recruit someone from the 02 class of the drama, or let Liu Yan take over, or even find the original Damimi to train him.
This role was too small for him to bother with, so Hu Jing had to discuss it with the producer and director.
As for the male lead, Emperor Wen of Han, Yan Kuan from Fanxing was cast. This was also the first time that he played the male lead in a drama with Fanxing. He is still the "Yan Kuan" in Boss Cao's heart.
The second male lead, Zhou Yafu, is played by Duan Long, who has just signed a contract. He has played Han Xin and Lu Buwei. His costume appearance is not bad, and his military temperament is not to mention. In the original time and space, it was the military that made him popular.
As for other roles, Cao Xuan doesn't have a small hand. Anyway, his own artists have roles, and other actors don't matter. Whether it's supporting newcomers or exchanging benefits, they can't lose anyway.
And 2004 was also a year of great action for the stars.
In addition to "Beauty's Scheming", there is also "Lotus Lantern" starring Jiao Enjun.
The aforementioned "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starring Hu Ge, Liu Tianxian and Dong Xuan also started filming this year.
While Qian Yanqiu continues to launch "Yanshuangyingying3", he is also preparing to launch a new series of TV series "Detective Di Renjie" this year.
There are also the costume romance light comedy "Luo Shanbo Meets Zhu Yingtai" independently written by Fanxing Editorial Department, and the sweet urban idol drama "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me"
The above are some of Fanxing's independently produced TV series. In addition, there are also TV series such as "Wulin Gaiden" and "Bright Sword" that lead the cooperation.
And there are at least two new movie shooting plans, "Fairy Tale" adapted from Cao Xuan's song IP, and the movie "New World" starring Cao Xuan...
