478 'Left Embrace, Right Embrace, Cao Tianwang Century Holds Hands!'
In the commercial car, Cao Xuan crossed his legs and looked at the laptop screen. Inside, a girl in uniform wearing glasses and a man with a crew cut were doing various intimate and sultry movements.
Mr. Zhou, who was wearing an evening gown, opened the door and came in. When he saw the computer screen, bang, he closed the door again.
The empress of the East Palace behind her was confused. She opened the car door and looked at Mr. Zhou in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Young Master Zhou looked at Cao Xuan with a speechless face: "This is a large gathering, please pay attention."
Cao Xuan, who had just taken off his earphones, was even more speechless than she was. He took off the earphone jack and the powerful dance music from the computer came out. The woman who had been intimate just now changed her clothes and danced.
"Sister, this is a MV, can you have a healthier mind?"
Mr. Zhou was very embarrassed. He took a few more glances at the MV and immediately found the culprit: "What kind of MV is this? It was shot like a Category III film."
Cao Xuan paused and explained: "Cai Yan, a Korean singer, is quite popular in China now. She is planning to come to China for development. The company is interested in contacting her and let me take a look at the quality."
"How's the condition?"
As an executive of Fanxing, Hu Jing still cares about the company's business. Cao Xuan pondered for a moment.
"The song actually doesn't have much to say, but the dance and MV are definitely the highlights. Just now Zhang Chong watched it critically several times, and I couldn't stop it."
Zhang Chong: "..."
If you were not my boss, I would give you a hard time!
"Do you want to sign her?"
Cao Xuan shook his head: "It's not necessary. There are too few cards in your hand, and you will be out of luck in a short time."
The so-called Korean Wave invasion is actually a gradual process.
In the mid-to-late last century and the beginning of the new century, domestic TV stations introduced Korean TV dramas, such as "Blue Life and Death", "Dae Jang Geum" and "Full House", which opened up the Korean Wave situation in the mainland.
The endless stream of Korean dramas is the most fundamental foundation of the Korean Wave. Before the Korean restriction order, almost all students, girls, young women, and middle-aged and elderly women were loyal users of Korean dramas. The market for domestic dramas was greatly squeezed.
In addition to Korean dramas, there is another line of Korean wave, which is Korean singers. To be more precise, Korean idols of boy groups and girl groups who are good at dance music.
The first K-pop singers who caused a certain impact in the mainland were Lee Jung-hyun and several groups such as Cool Dragon, which can be regarded as bringing the first wave of K-pop style.
But the real pinnacle of Hallyu is the rise of a large number of boy and girl groups after 2005, such as TVXQ, Girls' Generation, Bang Bang, Han Geng's Super Junior, EXO, the four returning boys, and BTS, which is very popular in Europe and the United States.
wait………
Han Geng has just returned to China and has become one of the top players in the mainland. His resources have skyrocketed. Not to mention the four returning brothers, he has become a representative figure in the traffic era.
The examples of several people have led to the emergence of a routine in the domestic entertainment industry of exporting to domestic sales, and a large number of young boys and girls were sent to South Korea to become trainees.
Once they debut, they are packaged as popular idols, and those who don’t debut are excellent trainees. If they return to China, they will still be money-spinners.
[Excellent acting skills] Wang Yibo, [He Dan's partner] Wang Jia'er, [Has a child] Zhang Bichen, and even Fan Xiaopang's younger brother Fan Chengcheng, who is now rumored to be the illegitimate son of King Cao Tian, are all artists who have returned from Korea.
However, the Korean Wave, which forced Jay Chou to shout slogans at the awards ceremony back then, has not achieved the same influence today.
Korean dramas have achieved pretty good results. With the help of CCTV, Hunan Province, Hui Province and other TV stations, they have become the most popular overseas dramas in the mainland. Japanese dramas and Thai dramas have to be pushed to the back.
Even Hong Kong dramas, which were previously very popular in the mainland, were also greatly affected. On the contrary, Taiwanese dramas, due to the large number of transformations into idol dramas, have not suffered too much impact for the time being.
However, unlike Korean dramas, in terms of popular music, the leader of the Chinese music scene and even the Asian music scene... his surname is Cao.
Even if the combination of popular Korean singers such as Cool Dragon, Lee Jung Hyun, Chae Yeon, Lee Hyori, and TVXQ were added together, they would not be enough to beat Cao Xuan.
Not to mention domestically, the Japanese market is the largest in Asia. TVXQ, which originally helped Hallyu completely open up the Japanese market, was also suppressed by Cao Xuan.
If TVXQ hadn't released many Japanese albums, Cao Xuan could have beaten them to death.
Therefore, the so-called "high-end trend" Korean dance music in the original time and space does not have too special filters in today's mainland market.
After all, Cao Xuan conquers Europe and the United States, dominates the Billboard charts, and even won a lot of Grammys. He is a serious and top superstar in the world. A bunch of so-called popular Asian groups are not enough in front of Cao Xuan.
Not to mention causing the Korean Wave storm in the mainland market, many of Cao Xuan's songs are now counterattacking the Korean market, and singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China have also followed suit.
In particular, some singers such as Xiao Zhou, Wang, Pan Weibo, Cai Yilin, etc., whose music styles are more European and American, have also achieved good results one by one, and have turned into "Asian kings/queens".
The only pity is that Cao Xuan's albums of English songs in Japan, Korea and other places have a greater impact, while his Chinese albums are obviously inferior.
There is no way, they have a particularly high sense of identification with Europe and the United States.
Asian singers like Cao Xuan, who have achieved success in European and American markets, are almost lauded to the sky in Asian markets such as Japan and South Korea.
Especially after Cao Xuan's new album "" hit the billboard this year, the sales volume of the original album hit 100 million, becoming the first album sales in Asia history.
Even in the hearts of many ordinary Japanese and Korean fans, Cao Xuan's status is unique in Asia, and he is recognized as the number one in the history of Asian pop music.
No matter how popular Korean music is, Cao Xuan has already reached the peak before them.
With King Cao around, it would be impossible for these Korean singers and groups to turn the world upside down in China...
Of course, Boss Cao also thought about whether he could directly put an end to the Korean Wave, but after some research, he found that it was unrealistic.
The Korean Wave can sweep across Asia and even invade Europe and the United States. It is not just luck, it is based on real data.
An industry that is an important pillar of the country has a developed country as its support. Even if Cao Xuan cheats, it can only suppress and resist it, but cannot completely eliminate it.
Not to mention anything else, later countries personally issued orders restricting Korea, and domestic anti-Korean sentiment was extremely high. This only prevented Korean artists from coming to the country to make money. Korean dramas, variety shows, and male and female groups still have a large number of fans.
You scolded Xiba in your mouth, and called Oppa in private. You said that there are no idols in front of the country, and people only care about themselves...
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about Cai Yan’s MV just now. It was so lively and lively that even Cao Daguan liked to watch it, let alone ordinary people.
Just talking about resisting the Korean Wave, there is simply no way for this type of artist to fill the gap in the country, and even if someone is willing to go out of their way, they will not be able to take the stage.
Cao Xuan doesn't particularly understand those female fans who like handsome men, but as a man, he needs to ask himself.
The nine-legged semen from girlhood, slapping and stroking, posing and looking enchanting.
Just tell me, what normal man can bear it?
In a situation like this, we can only defeat the magic with magic, produce domestic girl groups, boy groups or idols, and divide their fan market, in order to offset the Korean wave to the greatest extent.
But a new problem has arisen. The large-scale production of domestic idols has intensified the formation of the fandom. The influence of the Korean Wave has been suppressed, and a deformed entertainment industry traffic ecology has been born.
Even the entertainment tycoon Cao Xuan would not dare to make this move easily, otherwise if it gets out of control and the traffic era begins, he will be labeled as the biggest and most ugly capital in the Chinese entertainment industry.
In comparison, Cao Xuan would rather let the Korean wave enter the scene. At least under his suppression, the interests of all aspects of the domestic entertainment industry will not be damaged, and he can still gain a reputation as an "anti-Korean hero".
Maybe this idea is a bit selfish, but Cao Xuan will never take the initiative to start the era of traffic idols on his own, and he doesn't want to be backlashed by this.
Otherwise, the previous second season of "Tomorrow's Star" would be the best opportunity, where a few popular male contestants would casually form a boy band.
Under the fermentation of Fanxing's resources, the minimum guarantee can also match Fahrenheit, and the upper limit is equal to F4, or even exceeds it.
But Cao Xuan still chose to give up. Most of the singers signed by Fanxing in the two seasons of "Tomorrow's Star" are pure singers. A few popular idols also have real materials and mainly rely on their works to speak for themselves.
Liu Tianxian, the most popular artist under Fanxing, has always been an actor and does not rely on speculation to make a living.
In the final analysis, Cao Xuan is still conservative, favoring the development route of orthodox entertainment companies such as variety shows + film and television + artists (actors and singers), and does not want to do anything too flashy.
Boss Cao has no shortage of ways to make money. Box games may make him controversial in the future. If he does anything else, his reputation will really be lost...
As for many Korean girl groups or female singers, you can just take a critical look at them. You can draw some inspiration from Korean dance music and praise them.
Unless the Korean company is willing to let Fanxing take the lion's share, Cao Xuan is too lazy to use his own resources to pave the way for Korean artists, and it is not possible for all nine of Girls' Generation to join together.
King Cho is now allergic to Korean women!
………
Cao Xuan is not very interested in Cai Yan, but Mr. Zhou and Hu Jing are quite interested. They even watched the MV again and were impressed by the amazing scale.
"Why do you think she is so popular in China?"
Cao Xuan's words are actually a bit one-sided. Cai Yan's popularity is not only because of the MV, the dance melody is also very important, but the MV definitely takes a lot of credit.
This group of female singers in China basically follow pure love, freshness, cuteness and other routes, and less of them focus on sexy routes.
At present, the most outstanding one is Cai Yilin who has transformed into a dance queen, but when it comes to the scale and style of dance, Cai Yan is not necessarily more "dazzling".
But as Cao Xuan said before, eye-catching is eye-catching, but this style is not popular in China. At least today, many mainstream TV platforms cannot accept this style for the time being.
Online video has not yet taken off, and it cannot stably consolidate its popularity on TV, which is a huge blow to an artist on the rise.
Cai Yan can transform, but this also means losing her biggest feature. Apart from the gimmick of a Korean singer, there is no way to compete with singers of the same type.
Therefore, in Cao Xuan's opinion, Cai Yan is just a piece of chicken with a lot of meat, and her practicality is really limited.
Instead of working hard on her, it is better to train Zhang Liangying, Tan Weiwei, Qi Wei and others. The short-term benefits may not be as good, but the long-term success is better.
After watching the MV for a few times, Cao Xuan continued to play on the computer, and the remaining two people chatted quietly. Cao Tianwang listened and realized that they were complaining about International Chapter together, and couldn't help but shake his head.
International Zhang is a public best friend of the Empress of the East Palace. During the filming of "The Night Banquet", she and Mr. Zhou were as close as sisters when being interviewed by reporters.
Tsk tsk, woman!
But then again, international chapters are indeed a bit inflated nowadays.
Last year, "Memoirs of a Geisha" made it to Hollywood, and she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. She acted as a practical actor in "The Banquet". She also had Mr. Zhou, one of the four little actresses, as her co-star. It was an unparalleled success.
This year I am participating in the Oscars, serving as a judge at the Cannes Film Festival, and in contact with Director Chen's next film.
The most important thing is to catch up with many big shots in the European and American media circles, including the famous socialite Wendi Deng.
Now the International Chapter is giving interviews to the outside world. When he opens his mouth and cooperates with international directors, when he shuts up, he meets with a major Hollywood producer. The nickname of the International Chapter is getting louder and louder.
Recently, it was revealed by Hong Kong media that Wendi Deng, the international chapter's lead, was flirting with a wealthy foreign man.
This rich man is an individual shareholder of Warner Group, and he has a lot of money and connections.
This time the international chapter is even more impressive. Before, she and Hu Jing were supporting the Empress of the East Palace, but now she seems to be taking the initiative. Some time ago, she wanted to introduce Wendi Deng to Hu Jing, claiming that she would let Hu Jing meet the world's top nobles.
Womanly style.
Empress Donggong, who was already annoyed by her, was almost disgusted to death and directly retorted.
"Wendi Deng, how many millions does she have?"
In terms of net worth, although Boss Cao is still not as good as the British media giant Rupert Murdoch, how old is Cao Xuan and how old is Murdoch?
It is better to bully a white-headed man than to offend a young man.
Although Cao Xuan is inferior to the other in terms of status, qualifications, and reputation, the potential of the two is completely heaven and earth. You know, Boss Cao has been in business for less than ten years. Give him another ten years, who knows where he will be.
.
Although Hu Jing is not married to Cao Xuan and still has a wife, the Empress of the West Palace, but she has been in love with her since she was young, and her relationship status is far from being summed up by the word "girlfriend".
In contrast, Wendi Deng is Murdoch's third wife. The old man has two ex-wives, a lot of sons and daughters, and it's hard to say how much weight she has in the old man's heart.
Others are afraid of Wendi Deng, but Hu Jing really doesn't take her seriously.
Although the Empress of the East Palace also relied on her husband, at least when she was with Cao Xuan, Cao Xuan was just coming into his own. On the contrary, Wendi Deng's rise to power was rather embarrassing, with three easy marriages and numerous flaws.
Hu Jing didn't know whether it was because Cao Xuan's net worth was too low-key and the outside world had no idea, or maybe the international chapter had been suppressed by the East and West Palaces for a long time, and her heart was distorted. As soon as she gained power, she immediately moved out of Wendi Deng to increase her presence.
Anyway, since then, Hu Jing and Zeng Li's impression of her has declined greatly, so much so that they couldn't help but complain about her when chatting with Mr. Zhou.
Not to mention Mr. Zhou, the International Chapter dared to flirt with Hu Jing, let alone his attitude towards her.
She is not a good-tempered person, and she will definitely not spoil the other person. They go back and forth and don't openly quarrel with each other. It can be said that the two of them care about the external image.
Speaking of which, International Chapter is really awesome.
Even though Da Mi Mi is a famous plastic sister, luckily she still has a few best friends that she can talk to.
And the international chapter has been trying to find a best friend of a well-known actress, and none of them has a particularly good relationship with her.
Li Bingbing, Xu Cainv, Zhou Gongzi, Zhao and others all had news of discord and even quarrels.
Fan Xiaopang and her even publicly competed on "A Date with Luyu", which was no less exciting than the famous scene between Liu Tianxian and Jiang Architect.
Of course, there is a saying that Fan Xiaopang's staff in the original time and space were not much better than those of the International Chapter. It was only later that he became popular that he became Sister Bingbing. In his early years, he was squeezed out by other big flowers.
However, now Fan Xiaopang is the first sister of Fanxing. Although her popularity is still not very good, no one dares to exclude her.
In fact, the international chapter relies on the popularity of the 96 star class to easily squeeze into the core social circle of the East and West Palaces, which is a greater advantage than Fan Xiaopang, a simple company employee.
But it's a pity that she committed suicide. Even if the East and West Second Palace still has some friendship with her as classmates, don't even think about entering the inner circle.
On the contrary, Mr. Zhou, although he is neither a classmate nor a star artist, but by virtue of his old friendship with Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, he has quietly stayed in the core social circle and watched the storm with a smile.
They have a clear internal division. In fact, in Cao Xuan's view, the relationship between this group of female artists or female friends is particularly complicated.
Sometimes the relationship is good, and sometimes the relationship is tense. The four people have eight chat groups, twelve CP combinations, and twenty-four alliances...
Cao Xuan listened to the analysis of the East and West Ergong from time to time, and sometimes he couldn't figure out the situation.
Cao Xuan couldn't help but feel happy every time he saw this group of "genuinely good sisters".
Fortunately, there are only two of them in the family, so it's easy to divide the camps. If there are a few more of them, I don't have to do anything every day, just watch them fight in the palace.
After experiencing the friendship between besties in the entertainment industry up close, the commercial vehicle finally arrived at the premiere of "Painted Skin".
Cao Xuan, Zhou and Hu arranged their clothes and then walked a short section of the red carpet according to the staff's instructions.
Hu Jing is on the left in a bright red low-shoulder evening dress, Mr. Zhou is on the right in a white slim-fitting short skirt, and Cao Xuan in a dark blue suit is walking in the middle, holding the two hands on the left and right respectively.
Bang bang bang!
The reporter operated the camera in his hand, the shutter flashed continuously, and while taking the photo, he had the title in mind.
"Hug on the left and hold on the right, King Cao holds hands for the century!"
Cao Xuan actually felt a little happy in his heart. The only pity was that he was holding the hand of Mr. Zhou instead of Zeng Li. Otherwise, he would have been able to bring Dongxi Ergong to the public, and he would have no regrets in this life.
As for why the three of them did this, the reason is very simple. It was a publicity stunt to match the plot of the love triangle movie in "Painted Skin".
This kind of hype is very common. Considering that it was just holding hands, the Empress of the East Palace was generous and made Cao Xuan famous.
However, Cao Daguan did not agree with this statement. At that time, all eight Victoria's Secret supermodels were walking around together, and they were just walking on the red carpet with two actresses, which was not considered glamorous.
Of course, you just have to think about this in your mind. If you dare to say it out loud, the Empress of the East Palace will immediately turn around and wait for you. I am afraid that Mr. Zhou will also give you a look...
After cooperating with the reporters, Cao Xuan and other film creators entered the venue one after another.
After the necessary Q&A session and other procedures were completed, Qi Wei, who had just won the national semi-finals of "Tomorrow's Star", sang "Painting Heart".
After that, the movie "Painted Skin" started to play, and the reporters, audiences, and film critics who had attended the premiere watched the movie intently.
The original story of "Painted Skin" in "Liao Zhai" is very simple. It is probably about a scholar named Wang Sheng who saved a girl and had sex every day. Finally, he met a Taoist priest who told him that he was haunted by evil spirits and his body was exhausted.
sharp.
Wang Sheng was dubious and went to take a peek. Sure enough, he saw that the beauty was actually a green-faced and fanged evil ghost in human skin.
When the evil spirit was seen and exposed, he cut out Wang Sheng's heart and killed him. Wang Sheng's wife cried bitterly, and under the guidance of the Taoist priest, she went to find a monk, endured the humiliation, spit out his heart, and saved her husband.
To put it bluntly, it is a story about a scumbag who was deceived by "Qiao Biluo" and his infatuated wife helped wipe his butt.
But the movie definitely can't be made, and many people are aware that a lot of adaptations are needed. The crew of "Painted Skin" also admitted this when promoting it.
Combined with the previous trailers, the audience has figured out the plot and thought it was a love affair between a man and a ghost that does not tolerate worldliness.
The male and female protagonists truly love each other, are besieged by the world, and finally get together with the help of their original spouse. Of course, it may also be a tragedy similar to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
But when the movie "Painted Skin" was actually broadcast, after watching it for more than half an hour, many viewers felt more and more uncomfortable.
Why is this completely different from the trailer?
I have a stiff neck and I can’t hold it any longer. I owe 500 words. I’ll make up for it tomorrow.
