In mid-February, the scandal between Cao Xuan and Zeng Li received less attention. On the one hand, the heat dissipated over time, and on the other hand, another top celebrity exposed their relationship.
Xiao Zhou and Taiwanese beauty host Pei Chen Hou were photographed by paparazzi while traveling in Japan, acting intimately.
For so many years, Cao Xuan was rarely photographed secretly, and even if he was secretly photographed, he rarely did anything extraordinary. This is also the reason why he has many scandals but few real actions.
But this time, the photos taken by Taiwanese media include hugging, holding hands, traveling together, and they seem to be staying in a hotel.
With all these factors, it is indeed difficult to believe that the two of them are innocent.
More importantly, the media revealed that the two of them had no work plans in Japan and were purely traveling. They seemed to be traveling with Zhou's family and Hou's best friends.
It can be said that the paparazzi this time is definitely textbook...
Before the exposure, I thought of many clarifications and responses from the parties concerned, and made them clear in advance, just to force Xiao Zhou to admit.
Xiao Zhou is also a bachelor. Although he has not publicly admitted that his girlfriend is Hou Peichen, he also said that his music has nothing to do with his private life. He asked everyone to pay more attention to his music. In a sense, it is considered acquiescence.
The most interesting thing is that Hou Peichen, as an entertainment host, broadcast the scandal between herself and Xiao Zhou, which is also a famous scene.
Xiao Zhou's love affair was exposed. Although he helped Big Brother share some of the firepower, he also made a big enemy.
Ever since he and Cai Yilin became popular after their debut, "double love" has been a topic of great concern to the media and the outside world.
This time the new relationship was exposed, many media outlets harassed Cai Yilin, and fans of Zhou and Cai also started a high-intensity scolding war.
Let's put it this way, it's about who is right and who is wrong in [double love], and it will be a hot topic among fans of both sides until 2022.
Xiao Zhou has a lot of negative fans who were converted from fans of Cai Yilin. Many old fans of Jay Chou also maintain resistance or even hate towards Cai Yilin.
This tells us that cp is risky and we need to be cautious when it comes to speculation...
Cao Xuan didn't pay much attention to the incident. He made a phone call when the incident happened and was relieved to learn that Xiao Zhou was fine.
Single men and women, when they fall in love normally, really don't have any problems. If Jay Chou hadn't been famous at the time, there wouldn't have been such a big fuss.
Thanks to Xiao Zhou, Hou Pei-chen's fame has skyrocketed. From a slightly famous host in Taiwan Province, she has become a queen sister-in-law known to many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Hou Peichen, together with the equally famous Zeng Damei, whose popularity has skyrocketed, have made many people aware of the influence of the King of Heaven, and many interested people have discovered a way to the sky.
Meet a popular star and become famous overnight!
In fact, this trick is not new for a long time, but this incident still made many people tempted.
Let me ask, the investment cost is low and the rate of return is profitable, who doesn’t want to give it a try.
At this time, the advantage of Cao Xuan maintaining the "scumbag man" design all year round is reflected.
Although Cao Xuan has the largest amount of fame, with 600+ scandal targets, the competition around Cao Xuan is too fierce.
Moreover, many of the scandal targets are big stars, and there are also various intimate rumors. It is not just a matter of secretly taking two photos to make big news.
Unless Cao Xuan is stripped naked and photographed in bed, it will be difficult to fight his way out from so many people.
So although Cao Xuan is the most famous, has a respected status, and is extremely rich, many people are discouraged by the hell level difficulty, which invisibly reduces a lot of trouble for him.
But that doesn't mean that Cao Xuan is completely safe, with reliable information, and high-ranking people are coming to him.
It is the most difficult and has the highest return rate.
Women who are confident and capable like this kind of challenge. The East and West Palaces sound the special battle alarm...
………
In February, Cao Xuan went to Hong Kong to continue filming "New World". He originally planned to finish filming in one go, but he had no choice. Something happened in the middle, so he asked for leave and went to the UK.
The most authoritative and influential music award in the UK, the Brit Awards, known as the British Grammys, has nominated Cao Xuan's album "Release" for multiple awards this year.
There is a saying that Cao Xuan's "Release" was released in 2003. In fact, it stands to reason that it should have been awarded last year.
But for some unknown reason, Cao Xuan was not nominated for last year's BRIT Awards. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that it was just the British who refused to accept the award.
As a result, Cao Xuan was suddenly nominated at the beginning of this year, and King Cao Tian gradually came to his senses.
Last year, 80% of the reason was because the awards season coincided with the Grammys. Knowing that Cao Xuan was destined to go to the Grammys, I didn't want to humiliate myself.
Last year, Cao Xuan did not release an English album and did not receive any Grammy nominations, so the Brit Awards came to intercept him.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to postpone the awards for one year, there is no way, who makes them inferior to the Grammy Awards, and the Grammy Awards season is approaching, so they will inevitably be suppressed.
A similar situation has happened at the Brit Awards more than once. There have been examples of delays in awarding awards before, and they even went so far as to "create awards" by inviting big-name American stars to support the event.
And this time, Cao Xuan also received this "superstar treatment."
Not only is he famous, but the album "Release" did very well in the UK.
At its peak, the song "Sugar" even dominated the UK charts for several weeks and remained on the charts for a long time. In 2003, it ranked fourth among the top ten hottest songs in the UK.
The song "free loop" is also a BMW advertising song. With the spread of BMW, it has become popular all over the world, especially in Europe, where it is extremely popular.
In Europe, the situation of "free loop" is somewhat similar to that of Phoenix Legend in China. Maybe I don't know the name of the song, or who sang it, or even what is being sung because of the language barrier.
But you can definitely hear the melody of this song from the streets, cell phone ringtones, radio, TV and other places. It can be called a viral spread and is engraved in the DNA of Europeans.
The combination of the two hit songs made Cao Xuan very famous in Europe, especially the UK.
In the summer of 2004, the British "Sun" launched a poll. Among the ten foreign singers well-known to the British people, Cao Xuan ranked ninth and was the only Asian singer.
It is no exaggeration to say that the two Chinese names most familiar to British people today may be [Jack Cheng] and [Chris Cao].
Especially among British young people aged 16 to 22, Cao Xuan's reputation is likely to be even higher than that of Cheng Long.
Cao Xuan still attaches great importance to the European market, and the Brit Awards can be regarded as one of the most authoritative music awards abroad.
Especially for European English-speaking singers, many people even rank them just below the Grammys as an important achievement to measure the status of a singer.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Xuan declined the Grammy invitation to perform and award awards, and went to the UK to receive the award.
In late February, Cao Xuan came to London to attend this year's BRIT Awards, and then he clearly felt the gap between this award and the Grammy Awards.
Let's put it this way, there are at least 2 to 5 world-renowned superstars at the Grammys every year, at least double-digit first-line singers or bands with certain international influence, and many strong newcomers, even with albums worth tens of millions.
.
In comparison, the Brit Awards are a bit shabby. They are basically dominated by local British singers and there are very few singers with international influence.
This is normal. The United States has always been the center of the international entertainment industry. It has gathered more than 90% of the world's superstars. If you put them together, you will have a luxurious lineup.
Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets 100 years ago. Back then, America was Britain's son. Now everyone knows who is whose father.
All the artists who can make a name for themselves in the UK are trying their best to go to the United States.
In Europe, most of the limelight of actors and singers has been stolen by football stars. Stars like Beckham and Ronaldo are the top stars in European entertainment.
This can also be seen from the articles on entertainment websites. People write about China Entertainment, Hong Kong Entertainment, American Entertainment, Korean Entertainment, and even the less popular Japanese Entertainment.
But no one has ever written about European entertainment. The reason is that it is so cool that you can’t even find it when looking for information. Moreover, the languages of European countries are not unified, so writing is extremely difficult.
Maybe one day a warrior will stand up and pursue his dream bravely, but the chance of being successful is too low.
Just like the heroines of China Entertainment, Han Hong, Jia Ling and Sister Feng have always been popular on the list, but if someone actually wrote about it, the popularity would definitely be high, but the results...
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is not new for the Brit Awards to be dropped by the Grammy Awards.
Being able to maintain its status is mainly due to the European market. In any case, it is indeed the most authoritative award in European English departments. It cannot compare with the Grammy, but it is still very good in other aspects.
Although Cao Tianwang has gained a lot of limelight at the Grammys, he is still far from a heavyweight when it comes to celebrity status. It is rare that he can experience the treatment of a big star in the UK this time.
Cao Xuan has been a big boss in China and Asia many times, but this is the first time for him in Europe and the United States, and it feels very good.
What was even more exciting was the Chinese reporters who came after hearing the news.
In the past two years, as Cao Xuan has made many achievements overseas, the media has paid more and more attention to it. Instead of focusing on reprinting and text live broadcasts before, now they have begun to send specialized teams across the ocean to follow the reports and shoot.
This is still very new for foreign music awards, because before, the Chinese media basically only cared about the Oscars and the three European awards.
Even the Oscars don’t necessarily pay attention, mainly the three big ones in Europe. The reason is that Chinese crews win a lot of awards here.
Music awards such as the Grammys and the Brit Awards were previously ignored in China, but Cao Xuan continues to win awards. The domestic public's attention to similar awards has soared, and the media has naturally increased its efforts.
There were only a few translated reports about last year's Brit Awards in China, and they could just be posted online.
This year, after learning that Cao Xuan was nominated and went to receive the award, CCTV, together with several portals, large media and other small and medium-sized media hired authorized international students, and scattered more than 20 professional/Chinese journalists who had obtained interview rights.
In addition, some Asian media agencies based in the UK also came to join in the fun.
Seeing so many Asians at the scene caused many British reporters nearby to look askance.
Even in the Champions League final, we haven’t seen such a big fight from these Asians!
But how do they know that Asia, where the overall entertainment culture is suppressed, attaches great importance to a "hero" who can break through the blockade and win consecutive battles in the European and American world.
When Cao Xuan appeared on the red carpet of the Brit Awards wearing a black slim-fitting suit, many of his British fans who came here specifically to hear the news enthusiastically supported him.
"Cao, come on."
"Ah ah, it's Chris, honey, I love you."
"Catch that, that's my phone number."
"Incredible musicianship, you are the best."
"Cao! Cao!! Cao!!!"
"..."
The Chinese reporters wanted to put the camera in the faces of those fans and then send it back to the country for everyone to appreciate how crazy these foreigners were for Cao Xuan.
After coming off the red carpet, Cao Xuan didn't feel particularly deep personally.
The Chinese reporters and even Asian reporters who were watching were full of pride and sense of accomplishment.
The only thing that made the Chinese reporter feel a little regretful was that these people shouted Cao Xuan's surname, which sounded a bit like swearing...
After entering the venue, Cao Xuan, as an important guest at this year's Brit Awards, was quickly targeted by many people.
Some people admire Cao Tianwang's musical talent and want to explore and learn from it.
Some people value Cao Xuan's status and connections in the American music scene, especially when they heard that Cao Xuan has shares in Warner Music Group, so they came here to make friends and see if there was any hope of making a career in the American music scene.
There are also people who are simply confused by Cao Xuan's fame and beauty and want to come over to strike up a conversation and plan to "communicate" with the Asian King.
It is worth mentioning that there are both men and women who come to chat with us, and most of them are men.
While Cao Daguan was a little panicked, he couldn't help but sigh that Daiying is indeed a world-famous gay country!
The process of the Brit Awards is smoother than that of the Grammys, mainly because there are fewer performances and more actual awards.
Cao Xuan didn't know much about these British singers. Among the several performing singers, the one he was most familiar with was Robbie Williams.
This guy is nicknamed "Bad Boy". He is very famous in the UK and is considered to be a top player internationally.
However, what impressed Cao Xuan most about him was the opening ceremony of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. This guy was a guest performer and gave the camera his middle finger, and was chased and scolded by netizens and fans around the world.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that this person is said to be very playful, can be both male and female, and has a variety of techniques. Even in the corrupt European and American entertainment circles, he is considered a relatively wild one.
At today's awards ceremony, Robbie Williams also won an award [Brit Awards for Best Song of the Year 25].
This award is very valuable. Let’s put it this way, the song that was also shortlisted was the most famous song “We Are the Champions” by Queen. As a result, Robbie Williams had the last laugh.
However, Cao Xuan could see that many people were dissatisfied with him winning the award, thinking that he could win the award because he was the only one among the finalists who was present.
This well-known "bad boy" in the British music scene is very popular. Not to mention controversial, even if he is not controversial, it will become controversial if he wins an award.
But this has nothing to do with Cao Xuan. He was nominated for a total of 4 awards this time and finally won two awards.
【Best International Male Artist】
【Best International Album of the Year】
The American Music Awards is very similar to the mainland in that it has two categories: British and International.
For example, the Best Male Artist Awards, which are equivalent to Best Male Singer, are [Best British Male Artist] and [Best International Male Artist].
Like many music awards in the Mainland, the two major categories of Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have similar approaches but similar results.
The purpose is similar, to ensure that local British artists receive some awards, and at the same time use international awards to attract international celebrities and increase their overseas influence.
The two awards Cao Xuan won are considered to be the most authoritative awards among international artists, and they are also full of rewards.
It's a pity that Cao Xuan did not win the most valuable award in the entire award ceremony, "Best Single".
This award does not distinguish between British and international awards. It is the biggest highlight every year. Cao Xuan's "Sugar" was nominated, but in the end it unfortunately lost to someone else.
But the faults do not hide the faults. Even so, Cao Xuan still created a new history for Asian singers and the Brit Awards this time.
Cao Xuan personally and even many Asian media are numb. After all, Cao Xuan has so many similar pioneering achievements that they are tired of talking about it.
But we still have to brag, and the Sohu website was even more ingenious and specially filmed an interview with British fans and passers-by, asking them about their love and understanding of Cao Xuan.
This video was sent back to China, allowing many people to see Cao Xuan's influence in the UK, and also excited Cao Xuan's fans and passers-by.
They just like those foreigners playing Cao Xuan. Listening to the rainbow farts of these foreigners, they are more happy than horses and chickens.
But when it comes to Cao Xuan winning the BRIT Awards, the biggest shock comes from the UK.
Cao Xuan won the Grammy, and China and Asia are relatively calm. However, in the eyes of most people in the UK, this is the first time a Chinese has won such an important award.
There were constant voices of doubt, and there were also many people who approved and supported him. Invisibly, Cao Xuan gained another face in the UK.
Seeing this popularity, BBC also wanted to invite Cao Xuan to participate in several TV programs, but unfortunately Cao Xuan was not available at all.
After the award ceremony, he only took time to watch a game in London.
In the EFL Cup final of the 2004-2005 season, Liverpool played against Chelsea. The two sides tied 1:1 in regular time and ended up in a penalty shootout.
However, what is different from the result in 2022 is that this time it was Chelsea who won, and the head coach Kai... No, Mourinho raised his arms and shouted.
After watching the game, Cao Xuan even declined Ronaldo's invitation. Instead of going to Manchester to watch the game, he flew directly back to Xiangjiang.
But the two also made an appointment. If there is time, Cao Xuan will come to watch Manchester United's Champions League home game.
But there is one thing to say, what Cao Xuan actually wants to watch is the Champions League final. This season's Istanbul night is a classic game. Although he doesn't like Liverpool, if he has the chance, he still wants to come and watch it.
I just hope that this game will not change due to his butterfly effect, otherwise Inter Milan fans will really have less fun...
………
Back in Xiangjiang, Cao Xuan was surrounded by many paparazzi as soon as he arrived at the airport, asking about his thoughts on winning the award.
How should I put it, Hong Kong has been colonized by the British for so many years, and it has some special halo filters for Dai Ying. The sensation of Cao Xuan winning the BRIT Award in Hong Kong is even greater than the Grammy.
"I am naturally happy to win an award. This also shows that the British professional judges and fans recognize me, and I will give back to everyone with better works in the future."
And when the Hong Kong paparazzi asked which new generation of Hong Kong singers they thought had the hope of winning the Brit Awards again, Cao Xuan said sincerely.
"The Brit Awards are for English songs. In fact, many singers can try their hand at producing an all-English album.
Many Hong Kong singers tend to be too Japanese and Korean, but this style may not be liked by other countries.
I think our music creation should not blindly imitate Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, but deconstruct the music style from a new international perspective, which is also a new idea for Chinese singers to go global."
Cao Xuan's words are still somewhat sincere. Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are too deeply influenced by Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States, and their originality is not even as good as that of mainland singers.
Maybe their results are very good in the Chinese music scene, but they can't be exported abroad at all. After all, the "pirated" versions are naturally inferior to the original versions.
If Chinese singers want to go abroad, they still need something of their own. They should not blindly imitate, but deconstruct the style according to popular trends and add their own things.
For example, Xiao Zhou's very personal melody style and musicality are still very recognized by foreign musicians.
It's a pity that he doesn't speak English well and has no international ambitions, otherwise he might not be able to make a name for himself.
Cao Xuan is not qualified to give advice on the practices of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.
But if there are really Chinese singers who want to go abroad, what he said above is indeed a relatively practical idea.
After arguing with the Xiangjiang paparazzi for a while, Cao Xuan, along with his assistants and bodyguards, moved out of the way, but the arrogant Xiangjiang paparazzi did not dare to stop him.
In terms of being well-informed, these paparazzi dare not say that Xiangjiang is the best, but they are not far behind.
They had already received wind of what happened to the crew of "New World" before. They dared to stop other celebrities, and they even dared to publicly challenge and provoke mainland artists.
But these paparazzi really didn't have the guts to deal with Cao Xuan, who believed in both black and white. Even the articles and reports were very polite.
I am deeply afraid that one day I will be kidnapped by a van on the way home, chatting with the young and Dangerous buddies...
The crew of "New World", Cao Xuan's return has won everyone's welcome. Cao Xuan did not pretend to be pretentious. He simply took a rest and quickly started shooting the movie.
The previous plot has almost been filmed, leaving only the last few scenes involving Cao Xuan and the mainland.
In the original plot arrangement, Cao Xuan defeated the villain and became the big brother. Then he contacted the mainland and became the official black glove, presiding over the overall situation and maintaining underground order.
Later, on the one hand, it was due to censorship, and on the other hand, Cao Xuan and Lao Du felt that such a filming would reduce the sense of fun and disrupt the rhythm of the plot to a certain extent.
So after discussion, they felt that they could modify it and remove the mainland contact section.
The protagonist kills the villain, successfully ascends to power, foils the conspiracy, and then hides his fame and success without reporting it to the mainland, and the story ends abruptly.
In the follow-up, whether the protagonist will run away, or become an official black glove, or come to shore with a clear conscience, or be suppressed and end miserably, none of these plots will be filmed, forming a semi-open ending for the audience to think about.
The plot of the movie ends after the protagonist takes over and sees his return to success and ushering in a new world.
This kind of ending of the plot is more neat and neat, and the depth is slightly higher. There is no need to worry about the review, Cao Xuan is a little tempted.
In the end, he simply shot two versions like "New Police Story", and finally decided which version to use based on the final effect.
On February 28, "New World" officially wrapped up filming in Hong Kong, and on the same day it was announced that it would be scheduled for this year's summer release, adding another layer of heat to the still-busy summer season.
