[Cao Xuan (Chris Tsao), Chinese pop singer, film and television actor, entrepreneur, was born on November 13, 1975 in Zao City, Shandong Province. He graduated from Zao City No. 9 Middle School and is currently studying at the EMBA of Beijing University.
National first-class actor, director of the All-China Youth Federation, director of the Chinese Musicians Association, vice chairman of the Beijing Musicians Association, member of the China Film and Television Association, and the 15th National Top Ten Outstanding Youth in 2005...]
In the "Painted Skin" crew lounge, Cao Xuan was playing with his computer, browsing the Baidu Encyclopedia that was just launched in April this year, looking at his own information on it, with a happy face.
"In just a short time, Baidu has added [national first-class actor]. It's so low-key."
Mr. Zhou and the Empress of the East Palace both rolled their eyes. Ever since he won the award, Cao Xuan has never stopped talking about "National First-Class Actor" and shows off every day.
Damimi, who just came to the "Painted Skin" crew from the "Wang Zhaojun" crew not long ago, doesn't understand Cao Xuan's psychology. He is the king of the world, so what if he is a first-class actor in the country?
Cao Xuan laughed at her young age. In fact, national first-class actors are not particularly powerful. Many national first-class actors are not even known to the outside world. The symbol of honor is more meaningful.
But then again, it is not particularly difficult for institutional units to select national first-class actors, but in the entertainment industry, it is extremely difficult to get this honor.
At least among the non-establishment actors born in the 1970s, I can count on both hands the number of actors who can be rated as first-class actors.
Not only is it an official certification, but it is also an improvement in my qualifications and status in the entertainment industry. In the future, I can really be called Teacher Cao Xuan on many official occasions.
No one has me, so naturally I am happy!
Although Cao Xuan is a killer in the singing world, showing off his qualifications and achievements in China is simply bullying, but in the field of actors, his achievements are not overwhelming.
He has three Best Actors: Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Golden Image. Mr. Zhou also has three Best Actors: Golden Image, Hundred Flowers, and Paris. Hu Jing is also the Best Actress in Baihua and Tokyo.
Awards don't have much of an advantage, and the box office and ratings are boring. Now that we have a national first-class actor, we have to show off.
Hu Jing was too lazy to pay attention to Cao Xuan's bad taste and kept talking to Damimi.
In mid-March, Zhang Dabeard's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which took two years of preparation and filming, was finally piloted on several local stations in Zhejiang Province. It was not until late April that it officially began to be broadcast on three satellite TV stations in Beijing, Zhejiang Province, and Jiangsu Province.
Then it got completely out of control!
Although Yang Guo, played by Huang Xiaoming, has many flaws and is not as good as the version of Principal Gu that countless people love, to be honest, there are some bright spots.
Through this drama, Huang Xiaoming became famous and became one of the most popular niches nowadays.
It is said that Huayi had contacted him before and asked him to play a supporting role in "The Night Banquet". Now it has stepped up its efforts and used Huayi's first brother as a bait to sign Huang Xiaoming and join forces with Fanxing's Hu Ge, Yan Kuan and others.
contend.
However, Huang Xiaoming is actually more interested in signing a contract with Fanxing. Previously, he was on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and tried out through various channels.
But unfortunately, the feedback he received was not ideal. With his acting skills, Hu Ge, Qiao Zhenyu, Yan Kuan and even Duan Long can all play roles. Fanxing doesn't care to sign another homogeneous male artist.
With no choice but to do so, Huang Xiaoming could only do the next best thing and start contacting Huayi.
As a result, as soon as there was some progress between the two parties, the crew of "New Shanghai Beach" that he had previously negotiated with his agent changed roles, and Huang Xiaoming's Xu Wenqiang was taken over by Fanxing artist Yan Kuan.
One thing to say is that Fanxing did not target Huang Xiaoming deliberately this time, but just hit him in the wrong way.
Fanxing had been in contact with the crew of "New Shanghai Beach" before, and Guolan even participated in the investment, but there were differences due to the roles.
Fanxing wanted to package the male and female protagonists at once, but the producer did not agree. It is said that they had already negotiated with Sun Niangniang before.
The negotiations between the two parties reached a stalemate. At this time, Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to contact the crew of "New Shanghai Beach". The film crew must not keep delaying, so they talked with Huang.
Seeing this, Fanxing knew that there was nothing he could do and took the initiative to give in. The female protagonist did not want it anymore, and the male protagonist returned to Yan Kuan.
The film crew originally liked Yan Kuan, and the two parties immediately reached an agreement, and Huang Xiaoming was sadly kicked out.
Huang Xiaoming therefore thought that he was being used by Fanxing as a chicken to scare the monkeys, so he used his connections to admit his mistake to Cao Xuan, and almost broke off with Huayi.
When Cao Xuan learned about this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know about it at all. This kind of trivial matter for company artists to take on roles could not be brought to him. Cao Xuan asked specifically about it, but no one deliberately targeted Huang Xiaoming.
Situations like this "robbery for roles" are completely normal in the entertainment industry. For some popular roles, it is not only the actors themselves who want to fight for them, but also the connections and resources behind them.
It is for this reason that artists will desperately join big companies or find backers. Only in this way will they not be the ones kicked out.
It’s no wonder that Huang Xiaoming thinks too much. He was not very popular before and was rejected when he wanted to sign with Fanxing. But now that “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” has become popular and his net worth is different, he thought Fanxing would change.
After all, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a TV series produced by Fanxingzhu. In a sense, he is "supported" by Fanxing. However, he joined Huayi just after he became famous. From his fantasy perspective, he is a bit "ungrateful".
mean.
But I didn't expect that he overestimated his own weight, and Fanxing didn't take him particularly seriously.
Not to mention him, Mr. Zhou also hinted that he wanted to sign Fanxing, but Cao Xuan declined. Huang Xiaoming, who had just emerged from the industry, was not as popular as he thought.
Hu Ge and Yan Kuan, who became popular through idol dramas, are not much worse than him now...
Moreover, the person who made the biggest profit from the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is actually not Huang Xiaoming, but Liu Tianxian, the Little Dragon Girl.
How popular is this little girl now? Let's put it this way, she came to the set of "Myth" to play Lu Su and directly brought more than 200 fans from the support group to surround the set to cheer for her idol.
The extras from other crews also went to the crew of "The Myth" when they had nothing to do, hoping to witness the elegance of Little Dragon Girl.
Because of this incident, the crew of "Myth" had to spend an extra amount of money and double the security force, so that they could barely delay the filming of the crew.
What kind of concept is this? It's almost time to increase the security force by 1/3 when Cao Xuan returns to the "Painted Skin" crew.
Cao Xuan: I didn’t expect it. It seemed like I was bragging about Liu Tianxian, but actually I was bragging about me...
But there is a saying that when Cao Xuan first came back, he was the world's top pop king and the newly minted Best Actor of the Academy Awards. His popularity could make people scorch.
Liu Tianxian can barely convert 1/3 of Cao Xuan's peak popularity, which is also very scary.
It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Xuan is a little suspicious that Mr. Zhou and Hu Jing are not as good as Liu Tianxian now. They may be famous and influential, but their popularity may not be comparable.
After all, one of the two is now on the big screen, and the other has begun to transition behind the scenes. They are no longer the popular little girls they were back then.
Compared with Liu Tianxian, who is gaining popularity and is at the top of his game, he seems to be a bit "outdated".
Even Hu Jing is like this, let alone Da Mimi.
Two lovable characters, Guo Furong in "Wulin Gaiden" and Guo Xiang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", also formed a certain linkage, which made her famous.
Even though they have just finished their freshman year, they are already among the most famous students at Nortel. To the outside world, they are still promising young talents, and their popularity is higher than that of many ordinary second-tier artists.
But it's a pity that people will die when comparing with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.
Compared with Liu Tianxian, Damimi, whose development was originally quite impressive, was a bit underwhelming. The East Palace Party was completely suppressed by the West Palace Party.
These past few nights while playing video chat, Empress Xigong couldn't help but smile brightly when she saw Hu Jing. Hu Jing was so angry that she took out her anger on Cao Xuan every night.
So, with nothing to do, the Empress of the East Palace thought about coming up with a good script for Damimi. If she didn't steam the steamed buns to win her reputation, she would never make Zeng so proud.
Mr. Zhou was also making suggestions. She and Zeng Li also knew each other, but were not very close. Comparing the two, she was definitely on Hu Jing's side.
"Either it's ancient costumes, or it's modern idol dramas."
"It's hard to get a costume script, so why don't we film a Jin Yong drama, but it has been filmed in the past two years, and there is also "The Deer and the Cauldron". How can we let Mimi play Princess Jianning?"
"It's still an idol drama. Isn't it popular now? I saw that the Taiwanese idol drama actors and actresses on the Internet have a lot of fans. Isn't your company's Yan Kuan also a popular idol drama?"
"I also think idol dramas are okay. Mimi is young and suitable."
The three women discussed it, and even the makeup artist was involved in it, analyzing the current idol drama market.
The sound was so noisy that Cao Xuan moved his computer to a corner, so that his ears could quiet down a bit.
He no longer browses Baidu Encyclopedia, but instead reads the newly released Time Network.
The last time he saw Douban, he thought of making a similar rating information recommendation platform.
I originally wanted to find Wang Xing of Meituan.com to do it, but it turned out that he was stubborn and wanted to start his own business, and he looked down on Time.com, which was a film and television resource company.
However, due to the donor's face, he recommended a classmate to Cao Xuan, a doctor from Shuimu University who had extensive Internet work and management experience abroad and had just returned from Silicon Valley.
Cao Xuan chatted with this former Internet executive named Dai Xinping, and asked people to check the information. He also asked executives from Box and Penguin to test each other's capabilities, and received good feedback.
Boss Cao is not an authoritative person. He has always believed that for a successful person, personal ability and character are important, but platform and fortune are equally important.
Cao Xuan himself is the most typical example, and he has directly and indirectly helped some people achieve success.
For example, Jiang Yue, Chen Guowei, Gu Miaomiao, etc., Cao Xuan had never heard of their names in the original time and space.
Now, one of them is China's number one manager, one is the head of an Internet gaming giant, and the other is the most popular mainland female singer of the new generation.
Cao Xuan likes to find those unfamous big guys, hoping to take a shortcut and satisfy his personal evil taste. However, if the conditions are right, he doesn't mind finding some rough jade and turning stones into gold.
Dai Xinping is the "new stone" that Cao Xuan found. If Time.com becomes bigger, he will also have a top spot in the Internet Hall of Fame in the future.
If Dai Xinping works harder, Cao Xuan won't mind supporting him to start a business, make a fool of himself, are you full, and make comments from the people? Maybe nothing will happen to Wang Xing.
As we all know, Boss Cao is famous for being petty!
Dai Xinping took Cao Xuan's funds and settled in Fanxing Building, and then immediately prepared the Time Network, gathering many elite soldiers and generals, and it only took half a year to figure out the general structure of the Time Network.
There is a saying that during the preparation period, Time.com inevitably borrowed part of Douban's structure.
However, this is also a very common operation in the Internet industry, and companies do not copy each other.
Some time ago, the Penguin blog was plagiarized by Sina, and a Sina blog was restored almost intact, and Xiao Ma directly hacked it.
It was copied on his head. I wonder how many eyes Lord Ma has!
Therefore, they exported to Sina's major projects and copied almost all of Sina's valuable projects. Although it may not necessarily cause trouble to Sina, it definitely disgusted Sina's senior executives.
Brother Xiao Ma is good at copying, and King Cao is an expert at harvesting wool. If not to say that the two brothers have a good relationship, they are like each other...
Moreover, Cao Xuan will not only copy the existing Douban, but also copy the future Douban. At present, Douban has just been established and its functions are very incomplete.
So Cao Xuan told Dai Xinping all his ideas for later generations and let him use them to his fullest. Based on the original foundation of Douban, it is better to learn from others than master.
Dai Xinping lived up to expectations and refined it for several months before officially launching Time.com in April this year.
In fact, at the beginning, Douban was focused on making friends, recommending, and sharing. It was more like a discussion and evaluation forum for fans.
Although Time.com also has social attributes, it regards public ratings as its main selling point, saying that movie, music, and book reviews are not the private property of elites, and the people should also have their own voices.
Movies, TV shows, books, and music can all be rated. They are rated with five stars, half a star is 1 point, and the full score is 10 points.
Each user can only rate a single work once and can modify it, but there are some restrictions.
At the same time, we strictly enforce bad behaviors such as setting high scores, maliciously lowering scores, etc., to ensure the fairness and fairness of the scores as much as possible.
Cao Xuan called on a group of celebrities to blog and attract traffic to Time.com. On the day it was launched, the number of registered accounts exceeded 200,000. A month later, the number of registered accounts exceeded 2 million, with daily active users around 100,000.
Douban, Tianya, Tieba and even blogs and other film and television music discussion sections suffered heavy losses.
There is no way. The advantages of Time.com are too great. Its huge material library allows people to find nearly 90% of the movies, TV shows, books, and music on the market here.
Among them, music and books can be read and listened to directly on Time.com, but many of them are genuine and require some money.
Regarding movies and TV series, the information is detailed, and there are also some tidbits and actor materials. The authenticity and detail are far beyond the information collected spontaneously by many movie fans, and it is more systematic.
Even Time.com has reached an agreement with more than 40 TV stations, and the TV series pages are specially marked with eye-catching marks indicating when they will be broadcast on which TV stations.
If a user wants to watch a drama, he can follow the prompts to go to the TV station to find it. More TV stations will be added in the future.
As for online video resources, you can actually link them and introduce them, but they are all pirated and can easily cause disputes, and there is no need. If netizens really want to watch them, they can just search online.
In addition, data such as movie box office, TV ratings, music album sales, and book sales, including important award records for audio and video books, are also systematically ranked.
Most of these data are taken from authoritative sources, are relatively accurate, and can be used as a reference for many people.
Of course, the outside world has no way of knowing whether there is any selfish intention of a certain king surnamed Cao who is crazily killing music-related charts...
Moreover, the above data is updated in real time. For example, movie box office, Mtime.com has reached data sharing with the theaters through Fanxing Cinemas.
Not only can you view the total box office data, but you can also view the day's real-time box office, ranking, film schedule rate, attendance rate, etc.
On this point alone, it is impossible to sell Douban now. In the future, entertainment reporters will have to go to Mtime.com to check the data before writing reports on various parties.
Future Huayu writers don’t know how much they need to thank Cao Xuan. Because of this Time Network, they can save much time and energy in researching information.
Of course, these data are just for the general public to look at. Apart from fans, not many people really care about it. The real core of Time.com is community communication and ratings based on the huge material library.
In the two months since Time.com was launched, many media reporters have been looking for fun on it, which has brought a lot of exposure to the website.
And the so-called fun is those bad movies rated by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
As I said before, in the past, whether a movie, TV show, book, or music was bad or not was mostly judged by film and music critics. With the development of the Internet, the grassroots have their own voices, but these voices are not systematic.
For example, "The Promise", everyone knows that it is a bad movie, but no one has a real idea of how bad it is.
But this time, Time.com gave the answer.
297,000 people participated in the rating. Among them, one-star and two-star ratings were the most, and five-star ratings were the least. The final total rating was——
3.4 points!
Time.com will only calculate the comprehensive score after 1,000 people have rated it. If there are a large number of trolls trying to brush high scores or maliciously brushing low scores, the system will detect it and will not publish it until the website administrator evaluates it before deciding whether to publish it or not.
.
Even if the problem is not major and they choose to publish it, but the managers feel that there are still some problems, they will make a special note after the score, such as [data fluctuations are different, the score may be inaccurate, refer to it with caution].
The same is true for "The Promise". The management once thought that someone was maliciously cheating on the score, but after checking it several times, they found that it might be the real score.
There is a saying that "The Promise" is bad, but it may not be this bad. At least there are definitely worse movies than it. This rating is very subjective.
No way, who made "The Promise" catch up at the right time? It happened to be the closest and most influential bad movie since the launch of the Time Network.
Coupled with the steamed buns and Shangri-La incident, Director Chen lost a lot of points and even stood on the opposite side of netizens. The first thing many "Time Network" users went to was the page of "The Promise", and they felt comfortable after giving it one star.
Feel free to leave.
Mtime.com even held a special meeting internally and discussed it for three hours.
It was finally decided to announce the score of "The Promise", but it was specifically noted that "the score is highly subjective" without adding the suffixes "may be untrue" and "reference with caution".
It’s really damaging to my family...
In this way, "The Promise" became the lowest-rated movie among hundreds of movies rated by Time.com.
Cao Xuan even prepared his legal team for a time to receive the court summons from Da Dao Chen, but he didn't know if the other party was afraid that he would let Liu Yan go, so he gave up in the end.
Of course, it may also be because Director Chen's "Farewell My Concubine" scored 9.7 points and is currently the highest-rated movie on Time.com. It just scratched the itch of Director Chen and chose to quit.
One person took both the highest-rated and lowest-rated movies on Time.com.
From the beginning, Director Chen has become the C-position of Time Network. Even Cao Xuan, Lao Mouzi and others have to avoid his influence.
Putting aside Director Chen, several of Cao Xuan's movies have pretty good ratings.
"When Men Are in Love" 8.5 points
"Xiu Chun Dao" 8.1 points
"Xiu Chun Knife 2" 8.0 points
The highest score is "New World", with a score of 9.3, which is on par with the first part of "Infernal Affairs" and ranks in the top 30 on the overall list.
Although Time.com intends to combat the situation of promoting foreign films and belittling Chinese films, the situation is far from ideal.
In addition to the so-called literary youth and public knowledge, it is also partly because many people have "low self-esteem" and it is difficult to think rationally in this international environment.
At the same time, I have to admit that many foreign classic films are indeed excellent and have the qualification to receive high ratings.
Moreover, grading is inherently subjective. For the sake of fairness, Time.com cannot do it in person, so it can only try its best to guide and restrict it.
At least it won't let Time.com become a "cesspit" like Douban in future generations...
In addition to movies, most of the TV series starring Cao Xuan also achieved good results. Although they did not reach the top 50 in the overall list, they all achieved good high scores.
"Water Margin" 9.0 points
"Young Bao Qingtian" 8.5 points
"Swordsman" 9.0 points
"Golden Pink Family" 8.8 points
"Eternal Dragon Sword" 8.8 points
But to say that Cao Xuan’s real high-scoring focus is in the music category, where he kills people on a daily basis.
"Bright Stars" scored 9.8 points, ranking first among Chinese albums
"Chinese Style" scored 9.7 points, ranking second among Chinese albums
"Stars" scored 9.7 points, ranking third among Chinese albums
Let’s put it this way, Cao Xuan’s six Chinese-language albums have all reached the top ten of the overall chart, and the number of Chinese-language songs with a score of 9 or above is almost double digits.
The European and American charts did not show off, with three English albums taking the top three, with Michael Jackson and The Beatles ranking behind him.
There is no way, this is Cao Xuan's home stadium, and he has his own fans to support him. If you bring in all the fans from the European and American music circles in China, there won't be enough fans for Cao Xuan.
Not to mention this group of European and American music fans, almost half of them are fans of Cao Xuan, and they are also die-hard fans.
Similarly, Cao Xuan, who is on the Chinese chart, also occupies the spotlight of many fans and superstars, which is difficult to avoid.
Not only him, but top singers such as Xiao Zhou and Wang also have similar bonuses, and their statistics are even better than those of old singers.
Because there are too many elements in film and television, it is impossible to simply summarize a certain person's work, which is relatively objective.
However, music and books are basically tied to a certain singer or author, so fans are more subjective, and the fairness and value of the ratings will inevitably be discounted a lot.
Cao Xuan went around the Time Network and tried out all the functions. Some functions he was satisfied with, while others he thought needed improvement.
He took screenshots and recorded them, and later chatted with Dai Xinping to see if he could improve further.
After closing the computer, Hu Jing and the others hadn't finished chatting yet, so she pulled Cao Xuan over to ask.
Boss Cao crossed his legs and looked at Da Mimi. It is said that Liu Rui took her to Korea after the New Year, and the overall face shape is much softer and more beautiful than before.
Da Mi Mi is inherently more cheerful and lively, suitable for those characters who are cute, smart or carefree. His strong heart is also more suitable for ordinary chicks in movies and TV shows, and his role is relatively wide.
For her, idol dramas are indeed a good way to go, and he happens to have a copy of a hit idol drama in his hand.
Fan Xiaopang can't play, Liu Tianxian is not suitable, Damimi can really give it a try...
I broke my promise, I'm a little late and haven't made up for it, I'll make sure tomorrow
