563 The King of Red Matters and the new song 'Wish'
In mid-September, the cast and crew of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" completed their last promotional tour in Nagoya and returned to China in batches
Cao Xuan was the first to leave. He was going to attend Yuan Quan and Xia Yu's wedding and the premiere of "The Founding of a Republic".
Speaking of which, 2009 may be a good year for getting married, and many artists choose to get married this year.
Liu Huohua before, Yuan Quan, Xia Yu now, Ni Zhen and Zhou Shenwen who caused a lot of trouble at the beginning of the year, as well as Yang Qianhua, Fan Wenfang, Shen Aojun, Bao Jianfeng and many other Hong Kong mainland artists.
Of course, the most sensational thing was at the end of August, when Liu Tianwang personally announced that he was married and directly posted the day's Weibo hot search to Gan Xing.
This news was also the most talked about gossip news in the summer of 2009. Yan Xuan saw a large number of media reprints in Japan at that time.
So much so that Yan Xuan was a little curious. If he officially announced his relationship or admitted that he had a child, would he be able to blow up Weibo again, or even test Japanese social networking sites?
Jingcheng, Palm Springs International Apartment
Within the Fourth Ring Road, close to Chaoyang Park, it was opened in 2002. It is considered an old wealthy area in Beijing. It was known as one of the top ten famous houses in Beijing.
"This place is nice."
Cao Xuan was wearing a best man's suit. He took a look at the environment of the community and made a few comments. The other best man next to him asked with some envy.
"The house price in this neighborhood is around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
"It's not much different. Yuanquan bought it early. I remember the price was over 10,000 at the time."
Xia Yu and Yuan Quan have their own houses, especially a villa they bought specifically for their marriage. However, they still keep this house. It is not only a preservation of investment value, but also a private space for Yuan Quan. Parents can live there when they come to Beijing.
Xia Yu was a little proud after receiving this house.
At that time, Yuan Quan was reluctant to buy it, but he and Zeng Li persuaded him to agree. Now the house price has at least doubled, and he has made a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu suddenly looked at Cao Xuan doubtfully: "You don't know this place? I remember that at that time, I told them that they wanted to live together so that we could visit each other later, so I bought a house here."
"Yeah?"
Cao Xuan scratched his head and said sheepishly: "There are too many houses at home, so I can't remember them clearly." Xia Yu: "..."
Calm down, calm down, today is your big day, don't argue with this big dog,
Looking at Xia Yu's luck, Cao Xuan felt very innocent. He really wasn't pretending. There were indeed too many houses at home.
Even if there are tens of millions of houses worth tens of millions, even if they don't have three digits, there are dozens of them. He can't remember it clearly.
Besides, as early as 2006, in addition to major expenditures such as buying an office building, he also stepped in to invest in one or two houses and shops in fixed industries. They were all taken care of by the East and West Palace and the property management company.
Even Empress Donggong didn't take much care, and Zeng Li was basically responsible for it when she had free time. That is to say, during her pregnancy, Donggong helped her run away.
Now when asked how many houses Cao Xuan's family has, he can only give an approximate number. He doesn't know the exact number or the location of one-third of the houses.
This is because the East and West Second Palace has been streamlined in recent years, selling many ordinary properties with limited room for increase, and only retaining high-quality projects. Otherwise, Cao Xuan probably would not be able to remember even two-thirds of his own properties.
"Be happy. It's a good day to get married. With a droopy face, I will come back and take care of you."
The evil boss Cao first complained and attacked the groom's officials, and then discussed the wedding strategy with several groomsmen.
Xia Yu and Yuan Quan's wedding was very low-key. They took artistic wedding photos at Zhongxi Opera during the summer vacation and officially announced their marriage on Weibo.
As a result, the wedding was held quietly after waiting for more than a month. It was not a big event and only relatives and friends came, with very few people from the entertainment industry.
For example, among Xia Yu's four best men, apart from Cao Xuan, who is from the entertainment industry, the other three are from childhood, one is a friend he met while playing magic, and the other is a friend he met skateboarding.
On the one hand, it shows that Xia Yu has a wide range of hobbies, and on the other hand, it also reveals that he does not have many close friends in the entertainment industry.
This is also normal. The entertainment industry is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Without strong friendship and long-term accumulation, it is difficult to become close friends:
He and Cao Xuan became "brother-in-law" more because Zeng Li and Yuan Quan played well together.
Cao Xuan is self-possessed, and most people would not dare to offend him, while Xia Yu believes that she has nothing for Cao Xuan to scheme against. In addition, the two of them have known each other for a long time, and they can be regarded as rare friends in the entertainment industry.
Otherwise, even if he has the reputation of the East and West Second Palace, Cao Xuan will not be the best man, and Xia Yu will not speak easily.
In order to keep a low profile, Xia Yu and his party were very few in number. Cao Xuan even went in first and waited wearing a mask to prevent being recognized by neighbors and causing trouble.
It wasn't until we arrived at the door of our house that everyone became more lively.
Yuan Quan is much more famous than Xia Yu. The two palaces from the East and West are here, and Mei Ting is added. Jin Hua from the 96th class of the three major Chinese dramas is a bridesmaid, and one is a good friend from outside the industry.
But this is good, as it saves you from looking for four golden flowers from class 96, and you will be embarrassed by the remaining ones you haven’t found.
Yuan Quan got married today. Only three male classmates from the university came. Apart from the three bridesmaids, only one of the female classmates came to attend the ceremony, Zhang Tong.
The remaining students such as Qin Hailu, Jiuji Zhang and others may have really something to do, or they may feel there is no need to come, or Yuan Quan himself did not send an invitation.
But it’s understandable. It’s been almost ten years since I graduated in the summer of 2000. The friendship between old classmates may still be there, but we can’t help but start to feel distant and distant from each other.
And Yuan Quan is considered good, but there are only a dozen people in Class 96, which is half of them. Xia Yu's group of Class 95 students only have two people in total.
One is Teacher Wang Tian Yu from "The Sorrow of Charlotte", the other is Cheng Jianjun from "Under the Zhengyang Family",
"Red envelope, red envelope. If you don't give a red envelope, the door won't open."
The East and West Ergong led Yuanquan's relatives and friends to block the door and prevent them from entering. Cao Xuan didn't know why they, two rich women with a net worth of tens of billions, were so stubborn about red envelopes, but he and the groomsmen took out the red envelopes in their hands to clear the way.
After laughing and fussing for a while, we scattered thousands of red envelopes and finally entered the gate.
The main reason was that Cao Xuan stopped her, otherwise the groomsmen would have knocked on the door. But the East and West Palaces were inside, and Cao Xuan couldn't hurt his wife even if he let Piao Yu wait for a while to get married.
After entering the gate, the protagonist becomes the groom. Several bridesmaids torment the groom in various ways.
But we are all civilized people, so if we stop talking, we will only make some small jokes.
Cao Xuan and the other companions sometimes have to come out to share the burden.
Others didn't dare to bully Fei Xuan, but Dongxi Ergong was not polite. He even couldn't wait to seize this rare opportunity and drank three cans of Sprite from Cao Xuan alive. His hiccups were all sweet.
Cao Xuan also allowed the two of them to make trouble. Seeing the sweet wedding of their best friends, it was strange that the two had no idea. Cao Xuan could not satisfy their wishes. He would make a fool of himself to calm down their grievances, which would be conducive to family harmony.
After a while of commotion, Xia Yu served tea to Yuan Quan's parents, and everyone set off to the hotel.
The wedding was a Western style, and the emcee was Liu Yan, who was invited by Zeng Li's best friend. Otherwise, with Liu Yan's current schedule and celebrity status, she would never have taken on such a job.
It can be seen that a series of links have been carefully designed and are not as boring as ordinary weddings, which make people just want to bow their heads and eat.
During the bouquet-throwing part, Yuan Quan threw the bouquet to his bridesmaid who was not in the circle with a wink.
The situation in the East and West Palaces is special. Mei Ting just got divorced two years ago, so it is not suitable to receive the bouquet. It will be given to the last bridesmaid, and everyone will be happy.
The last part is the best man or bridesmaid performing a show to entertain the guests.
To put it bluntly, I came here for Cao Xuan, the [King of Red Things].
The world-class popular king performs at his own wedding. It is so grand that his children will be able to brag about it when they get married in the future.
Xia Yu and his wife had been thinking about this for a long time, but they were too embarrassed to say it directly, so they made a link like this to test Cao Xuan's intentions.
If Cao Xuan agrees, everyone will be happy. If he feels lost and doesn't want to perform, there are other companions.
The couple's temptation was very straightforward. Yan Xuan immediately understood what was going on and readily accepted it.
If Cao Xuan were to be a guest for a banquet today, I'm afraid he wouldn't go on stage easily, and there would be no reason for the guests to perform for the host.
But as the best man, he can be regarded as one of the groom's helpers, so it is normal to sing songs to cheer up, and there is no need to show his identity. On a friend's big day, everyone's happiness is the first priority.
There is no doubt that even if it is a playful performance, Cao Xuan is the last one, otherwise others will not be able to play.
The best man who knew magic performed a magic trick, the other best man sang a song, and the three of them, Hu Jing, took the bridesmaid and sang "Invisible Wings" together.
"The Drunken Concubine" by Nishinomiya Empress is also very famous, but it is really not suitable for today's occasion.
After a few people left the stage, Cao Xuan appeared. The guests and the audience stood up and cheered together, even forgetting about eating. After all, there are many opportunities after eating, and it is rare for a king to perform live at close range.
Not to mention the wedding guests, even the hotel staff came to serve them. At first they were waiters, and later even several chefs from the back kitchen came over to ask about the guests’ tastes. I don’t know if it would delay them for a while.
vegetable.
The leaders of the hotel didn't care. In other words, the foremen, managers and even the boss were also guarding the banquet hall, arresting people and so on. We'll talk about it after listening to the song!
Cao Xuan smiled bitterly when he saw the heated scene. This was also the reason why he sometimes didn't want to go on stage. He was too keen on other people's leading role and venture capital.
In other words, Xia Yu and his wife had stated in advance that they didn't care, otherwise he would have really hesitated.
But now that he's on stage, whether it's out of blessing for his friends or because of his professionalism as a singer, Cao Xuan quickly adjusts his mentality and shows the level of a king.
Sugar sweetheart
Yes please, that’s how I beg you
lon't you come and put it down on me can you give me that sweet love
"Sugar", Cao Xuan's classic masterpiece, is also one of my most widely circulated songs. As I said before, it became popular all over the world and even became a wedding song in many countries.
The same is true in China. Many people are able to put this song into the wedding scene. It is even called the most popular English song for weddings. Many emcees said that they almost vomited after listening to it.
Today, the original singer Cao Lin performed this song live, which definitely gave Cao Lin and his wife a lot of face.
In addition to "Sugar", Yuan Quan sang another Chinese song "The Rest of My Life", which also suited the occasion.
The people jokingly calling him [The King of Red Things] on the internet are not just for nothing.
More importantly, he has many works, such as "Sugar", "The Rest of My Life", "Today You Will Marry Me", "When You Get Old", "Slowly You Become the Strongest", "You Are the April Day in the World", "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze"
》"Love Is Unavoidable" and "Little Love Song" can all be used in weddings, confessions and other occasions. I don't know how many couples and couples have witnessed their love.
In addition, coupled with the origin of the "Sugar" MV and Yuanquan's early experience of running around, he was called the "King of Red Things".
Looking at the guests who picked up their mobile phones to take photos and videos, Yuan Quan even had a premonition that after today, his reputation as the king of red affairs would become even worse.
As he expected, Hu Jing's wedding quickly became a hot topic, and he became the focus of it.
【You are married, has Gao Yuanyuan gone?】
[Isn’t that a misunderstanding? What we are really talking about with Cao Lin is XX]
[No matter what happens, lovers will eventually get married, wish them all the best]
[The best man is Cao Lin. This is the first time I’ve seen him serve as a best man. He’s awesome]
[I remember who made the comic, Xiao Ma Ge is getting married, and Cao Lin is the best man]
[Laorong, the boss of 8848, I have seen it before]
[Cao Xuan, Siduo from Class 96, is here. Their relationship as college classmates is so good]
[Why aren’t International Zhang and Liu Huohua here? 】
[Wow, Cao Lin sings, this best man is really worth it]
[I’m so envious. If Cao Lin can come to my wedding, she can just become a lady]
【???】
【The King of Red Events, you are worthy of being】
[You said that if I have 5 million, can Yuanquan sing a song at my wedding?]
[50 million is almost enough]
[Money is not the key. Caolin has plenty of money and won’t care about you. The key is that you can hire a charming person only if you have connections]
[It seems that he has not accepted similar commercial performances for several years. I heard that he was the little prince of commercial performances in Gyeonggi Province before. With enough money, he also accepted several popular jobs]
[He started his career by crazily accepting business deals and earning his first pot of gold. Later, he started doing business and investing, and once he had money, he stopped accepting offers]
[Forget your roots, stay true to your original intentions and benefit the public]
[It’s useless if you don’t change it. Even if Yuanquan still accepts business performances, who can afford it]
[Do you have a first-hand video? Please provide a high-definition version]
【……】
Many people also went to Jinhua's Weibo to request videos and asked if there was a high-definition version of Yuanquan's performance.
Of course there was. After all, he hired a photographer to follow the entire wedding, but Jin Hua didn't. After all, it was a wedding segment, and he wanted to keep a low profile. It was fine for the guests to leave some photos and videos, and he didn't want to make a fuss about it himself.
Yuan Quan didn't take this matter to heart. After giving away the wedding gifts, he learned something from Zeng Li.
Haolin is pregnant, and her due date is February to March next year.
To be honest, if it hadn't been known after a year's delay that the two were planning to get married, Qing Lin would have thought that the couple were getting married because of their son.
But that's okay, the two of them are not young anymore, it's time to have children, and they are now the right age.
This news didn't touch Cao Lin much, but it made Xia Yu thoughtful.
Empress Donggong, who was born in 1978, will be 32 years old in two months. She has always said that she would have a child after Zeng Li. Now that little Cao Li is over 2 years old, she still can't make up her mind. Hu Jing's incident has made her very psychological.
There has been some change more or less
Yuan Quan didn't care about this, mainly because Empress Donggong had changed several times, but there was still no progress.
Anyway, there are still a few years left, and he has a precious daughter at his knees, so he is not in a hurry, just let nature take its course.
........
After attending the wedding, Cao Lin went to the premiere of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".
This drama has a talented cast, and the premiere ceremony was also star-studded. Mr. Han was both excited and relaxed at the same time.
Such an all-star cast of superpowers has undoubtedly attracted the attention of a large number of viewers. Thanks to China Film's massive publicity regardless of cost, the momentum has even overshadowed the "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" that is still in theaters.
Both the outside world and China Film Group are very optimistic about the prospects of this movie, but then again, this is a movie with a main theme after all.
In the past, not to mention all of the movies with the main themes were hits, but there were indeed a few that were big box office hits.
This also made Mr. Han unsure about the box office performance of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". At the premiere, he even specifically asked Yuan Quan for his opinion.
After all, when it comes to commercial films, Hao Lin, who has produced and starred in almost all of his films is a comic, and his words are not particularly weighty. He is the veritable king of Chinese commercial films.
"You're worried, this movie will definitely be a hit."
Yuanquan is calm and relaxed, not only because of Golden Finger, but because the drama itself has many advantages of the comic book.
It is an almost unprecedented ultra-simple wine lineup. The faces and names of these stars alone can attract 200 million box office. Coupled with the 60th anniversary celebration and China Film's own theater advantages, the chance of a hit is extremely high.
Qing Linxin was a fan of the authorities, so he was hesitant.
Yuan Quan is even a little envious. You know, even though the cast of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is simple, in fact 95% of the stars are zero-paid friendly actors. They are not paid at all. Even if they are paid, they are very few.
Moreover, the movie does not have many big scenes, and the actual cost is only about 30 million.
It doesn't even need to be released. Just relying on advertising and various other incomes, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has basically paid back, and the box office is pure profit.
Before the film was released, the media even calculated the cost of the film for the crew of "The Founding of a Republic". If all the actors were paid their dues, how much would the film cost?
For example, for the first starring actor Tang Guoqiang, the TV series remuneration price is 150,000 yuan per episode. Considering the shooting time and movie specifications, the flexibility is relatively large, ranging from 800,000 to 1.5 million yuan is possible.
Zhang Guoli's TV drama salary is about the same as Tang's, but the movie credits are a bit higher. Xu Qing's official TV salary is 120,000 per episode, and the movie salary is at least 500,000 yuan.
The main actors are actually paid too much, but the really scary thing is the guest stars.
Cheng Long needs at least 100 million to film a movie, Li Lianjie also needs 100 million, let alone Yuan Quan, even 100 million is not necessarily affordable now
The official asking price for the international chapter is 30 million, Liu Tianwang is 16 million, Zhen Zi is 15 million, Mr. Zhou is 8 million, Uncle Ge is 6.8 million, Xia Yu is 5 million, etc.
Of course, this price is the salary for the entire movie, and it is certainly impossible to charge so much money for an actual guest appearance, but even if it is significantly reduced, the amount of salary left is still terrifying.
The remuneration for celebrity guest appearances alone is no less than RMB 250 million. This is still a conservative estimate.
After all, it's not just about money, but also about human relationships. Otherwise, even if the price is enough, celebrities may not come to make guest appearances.
But no matter what, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is equivalent to saving hundreds of millions in production costs, and it also used a super publicity stunt for nothing. No one would envy it.
However, this movie is also a special case. If it were not for the green story of the gift film, even China Film would not be able to have this reputation.
With Yuan Quan's words, Cao Linxin reluctantly felt at ease and continued to busy himself while Yuan Quan talked to relevant leaders.
Today's scale is not small. There are many big names coming to the publicity booth. Boss Cao has to be careful with him. Most of the others are not even qualified to join in.
Yuan Quan also invited several leaders to attend the premiere of "The Wind".
The premiere of "The Wind" was a week later than "The Founding of a Republic", in late September, and it was also a gift film for this year's stars.
After all, it coincides with the 60th anniversary, and the film and television companies have to release some gift films in conjunction with the promotional campaign.
The movie is "The Wind", and the TV series this year have launched "My Leader, My Group", "Latent" and other theme works, which can also be regarded as gift-themed films and TV shows.
However, the examination is on the edge. The real TV series this year is the "The Secret of the World" filmed by China Central Television.
When taking responsibility, people create the path to stop it
It’s the vicissitudes of life.”
Duan Long is the male lead, Yang Xue is the female lead, and there are many stars participating. Yuan Quan personally sang the theme song "As You Wish".
It is worth mentioning that this song "As You Wish" is also the promotional theme song for the two tribute films "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Sound of the Wind".
"If you ever experienced the bitterness of my sweetness,
I want to live like you
I wish it was not in vain, I wish to go forward bravely
Every day in this prosperous age
…”
Yuan Quan's clear and affectionate voice accompanied the trailers of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Sound of the Wind" and became one of the most popular songs before the National Day holiday.
Another popular song is "Wanjiang" performed by Yuan Quan in the Spring Festival Gala.
In a previous interview, Cao Lin blurted out the phrase "This prosperous world is as you wish" when talking about the inspiration for the creation of "As You Wish", which has also become a popular word nowadays.
Many leaders came to chat with him, and even gave their recognition and approval to the song "Ru Yuan", praising him for the song's good writing and excellent intentions.
As a result, Yuanquan also received an invitation to a National Day party to sing two songs, one "Rushing My Wishes" and one "Wanjiang".
Cao Lin didn't expect that he would come to the premiere ceremony and have an extra scene for himself, but it didn't matter. He had long been used to it. Anyway, he had several celebration performances during the National Day, so he didn't care about one more.
However, as a result, Yuan Quan will be completely unable to catch up with the release of his new album.
That's right, Yuan Quan's latest album "Qing" will be released globally in early October, and the album's first single (Hello) is about to hit the U.S. Billboard charts.
According to the original plan, when the new album hits the charts, Cao Lin will go to the United States to cooperate with the promotion. Now because of the National Day performance, the promotion can only be postponed.
Even Yuan Quan is not sure whether he still has time to fly to the United States.
Because after the National Day, Qing Lin still has to be busy with the opening ceremony of the National Games, performances + rehearsals, which will take at least a week, and "Let the Bullets Fly" will start shooting at the end of October.
One thing was happening one after another, and Yuan Quan was very busy when he arrived, but the critical time was very small, and it was difficult to spare a few days to go to the United States.
Just thinking about it, Yuan Quan seemed to see little Edgar's face full of resentment again...
