In the entertainment news on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Xuan was a well-deserved headline. Various media outlets sparked extensive discussions about Cao Xuan's departure from the Spring Festival Gala.
Or remember the past.
A comprehensive review of the classic scenes and interesting behind-the-scenes stories of Cao Xuan's 12-year Spring Festival Gala career. Some people even plan to make a documentary about Cao Xuan, called "Twelve Years of Spring Festival Gala".
Or affirmative results.
In Cao Xuan's twelve-year Spring Festival Gala career, he has won the highest-rated program of the Spring Festival Gala four times. All the programs he participated in have won the first prize in the singing and dancing category 6 times and the second prize 5 times.
He is the best performing artist in the past ten years.
Or look to the future.
With Cao Xuan leaving, who will carry the banner for the Spring Festival Gala singing and dancing category in the future, letting celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan such as Jay Chou take the lead? Or will they champion emerging mainland singers?
Netizens in the audience also spoke enthusiastically. The Weibo photo posted by Cao Xuan last night of taking a group photo at the door of the dressing room was the top trending topic.
In a very short period of time, it received over 1 million likes, countless retweets, and tens of thousands of comments.
[I still remember the first time I saw you perform at the Spring Festival Gala when I was in elementary school. I thought the song "Yellow Race" was very cool. I sang it all throughout the winter vacation. Now that I am about to graduate from college, I felt sad when I saw your performance last night.
of】
[My favorite is "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". I sang it in a singing competition in high school and won third place]
[I cried several times listening to his Spring Festival Gala songs before. My mother always said that Cao Xuan was not particular and that it would be unlucky to make people cry during the Chinese New Year. But my mother couldn’t hold back her tears last night. She is also a fan of Cao Xuan]
[Those born in the 1985s and 1990s really grew up listening to Cao Xuange. Without him, the Spring Festival Gala always feels incomplete]
[I am born in the 70s and I also like his songs. I must listen to them every year]
[The Spring Festival Gala is getting worse and worse. Once Cao Xuan retires, only Lao Zhao’s sketches can be watched]
[Zhao Lirong, Gao Xiumin, Fan Wei, Song Dandan, Cao Xuan, and I heard that Guo Da is also retiring, and there are fewer and fewer familiar faces]
[How about the boss releases a Spring Festival Gala album? I want to buy one for my collection]
["I'm going to take a nap. Zhao Benshan and Cao Xuan came out to call me." I will have one less name in the future]
【Hopefully there may be someone behind to support】
[It’s difficult. Although Jay Chou is good, his influence is far inferior to that of the Spring Festival Gala]
[I still can’t believe that Cao Xuan quit the Spring Festival Gala. He is not even 35 years old. He will not be old enough to retire after attending the Spring Festival Gala for another 20 years. Why did he quit at such a young age]
[I’m tired, he said in an interview that the Spring Festival Gala is stressful]
[Not only is the pressure of live broadcasting, but also the pressure of creation. A new song every year has to be well-received and hundreds of millions of people across the country are watching and criticizing all kinds of things. It is really difficult.]
[Indeed, the influence of "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" in the past two years was slightly less, that is, "Cao Lang's talents have been exhausted"]
[Actually, it’s not bad. Cao Xuan is so rich that he puts his family aside every Spring Festival and goes to the TV station to perform in programs. I would have left long ago]
[No matter what, I wish Cao Xuan a happy Spring Festival]
【……】
When Chen Xiaoer was forced to withdraw from the Spring Festival Gala for some reason, everyone mainly felt sorry for him. Teacher Zhao Lirong passed away due to illness, and everyone was even more sad.
Later, Lao Zhao retired from Original Time and Space, but due to the continuous decline in quality and the constant turmoil outside the field, it led to great controversy and the retirement was not considered honorable.
Feng Gong is decent, but his later works are not that good, and are more of a sentimental filter.
As for the other people, they don’t have such a big influence on the Spring Festival Gala, and naturally they won’t be able to make a big splash if they quit.
Only Cao Xuan is popular and influential enough, and he left at the peak of his career. He can definitely be regarded as retiring with success, and most of the external comments are positive.
At the same time, because of his age, many people also expressed regret and pity, hoping that Cao Xuan would take a good two years to rest and adjust before returning to the Spring Festival Gala.
Little did he know that in Cao Xuan's heart, let alone the Spring Festival Gala, he even planned to retire from the music scene...
Apart from Cao Xuan, Wang Fei and the Little Tigers also received a lot of praise for their programs.
The former's song "Legend" made a strong comeback, and Cao Xuan's "Chapter" became the two most popular songs in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
The latter's gimmick of joining together has really attracted a lot of people. You must know that the Little Tigers were the first generation of top-notch Chinese boybands. They were very popular in the 1990s and could compete with the four kings at their peak.
In later generations, the three little TFs returned to the fire, but their musical works were limited, and they did not have the momentum of the Little Tigers to sweep everything.
At least in the eyes of Cao Xuan, a person who experienced the Little Tigers era, the two groups are on a different level.
Cao Xuan still remembers that when the Little Tigers were at their most popular, he was in middle school. His relatives and some female classmates were crazy about the Little Tigers and listened to the songs every day. The canteen selling stationery around the Little Tigers was sold out immediately.
Many handsome boys in the school are nicknamed by the girls after the Little Tigers, Cao Xuan has one.
Because he was in the second phase of high school at that time, and he was often harassed by girls because of his handsome appearance, so he often had a straight face. Many girls thought he was cool and called him "Cool Tiger".
In the 1990s, cool was a new word, and Cao Xuan was proud of it for a while. At that time, he even dreamed of joining the Little Tigers and becoming the fourth member.
As a result, not long after his debut, the Little Tigers disbanded for the second time, and then they completely broke up.
Working together on this Spring Festival Gala actually fulfills one of Cao Xuan’s childhood dreams.
It's just that Cao Xuan now doesn't care about this dream anymore...
Compared to the dazzling song program, this year’s Spring Festival Gala skits are relatively average.
Most of the works are quite satisfactory, with some highlights, but not particularly outstanding.
Even Lao Zhao's "Donation" can be regarded as a relatively insignificant work among many Spring Festival Gala sketches. Facts have proved that although The Apprentice is good, it is not as good as the Audio-Technica and Song Dandan.
The popularity of "Not Bad Money" and Xiao Shen Yang are exceptions, and it is difficult to replicate them again.
Of course, this is not absolute. The poor performance is partly due to the restrictions of the Spring Festival Gala. After leaving the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Lao Zhao took Song Xiaobao and Zhao Si's several sketches, and the effect was actually quite good.
It is worth mentioning that this "Donate" skit has many embedded advertisements, including the name of the video website, Lao Zhao, using Penguin Star.
The main reason is to sell Cao Xuan's face. Of course, Penguin Star's advertising fees are not reduced at all.
Leaving aside Lao Zhao, Bald Guo Junjie's "A Thing in One Sentence" is also quite interesting.
The phrase "If you use lies to verify lies, you will definitely get lies" was later changed into a popular sentence.
Several star artists also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala this year.
Gu Miaomiao, Wang, Joey Yung, and Yu Cuizhi, a total of four people, sang the Spring Festival Gala version of "Love Each Other" written and composed by Cao Xuan. It was also another song and dance program with a good reputation in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
In fact, the original plan was to combine Gu, Rong, and Zhang, the three little queens from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland China, with the addition of a Macau singer to express the theme of love and family between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
However, because Zhang Shaohan was back-stabbed by family and friends, her current reputation is hampered, so it is not convenient for her to attend the Spring Festival Gala.
In addition, the program team also considered that male and female choruses would be more effective and could not just have female singers without male singers, so they replaced the Taiwanese singer with a certain king.
In addition, Qi Wei and Ping An had a song symposium, and Jia Ling also attended the Spring Festival Gala and sang "Big Talk" with her partner Bai Kainan.
Jia Ling of the original time and space has been practicing for several years, and it was not until she appeared on the Spring Festival Gala this year that she became a celebrity. Now she has become the resident MC of the national variety show "Run", and her popularity is not inferior to that of ordinary first-line artists.
Now she attends the Spring Festival Gala not to focus on variety shows, but to pursue achievements other than "Run".
Jia Ling is now quite famous, but many comedians of the older generation dare not compete with her for popularity, so she has become a favorite in the eyes of many people.
It is said that because she was planning to find a partner to attend the Spring Festival Gala, she asked her master Feng Gong for help. Then Feng's disciples went crazy and even many famous cross talk actors were willing to take the initiative to "help".
Even the fat little black man contacted Jia Ling privately through Liu Yan, hoping to get his apprentice Cao Jin to cooperate with Jia Ling.
However, Jia Ling missed the old relationship and finally chose Bai Kainan, who was also a disciple of Feng Gong and had worked with him many times before.
Because of this incident, Jia Ling also offended some people, but she was protected by her master, with the stars behind her, and she was famous in "Run", so ordinary people really couldn't touch her.
Speaking of Jia Ling, she is considered to be one of the more motivated and capable MCs in "Run".
The resident seven-person group, Teacher He and Liu Yan, both have their own stalls and have become famous, needless to say.
Sha Yi also has his own dream of being an actor, and is willing to be involved in filming in addition to variety shows. The same is true for Xue Zhiqian, with variety shows as a supplement and music as the main focus.
The most Buddhist person is Zhang Zijian. He really has no career ambitions. He is famous for his film and television + variety shows, and his reputation is considered to be on the front line, but he is still willing to hang out with Qian Yanqiu.
Unless there is a mandatory requirement for the resources arranged by the company, you can perform if you like it, and if you don't like it, you can stay at home.
At present, the fourth part of "Detective Di Renjie" is about to be released. The decline has already appeared. The company plans to make another one. Once Wu Zetian is killed, the series will be completed.
The series "Swallows and Eagles" happens to be the fifth part this year, and it is also the finale.
It tells the story of Yan Shuangying, who became the deputy director of a special department after liberation and led a group of comrades to catch spies and destroy reactionary conspiracies.
Speaking of the "Yan Double Eagle" series, we have to mention "Yan Girl".
The heroine in the first part is Li Bingbing, the second part is Fan Xiaopang, the third part is Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Yan, the fourth part is Yang Xue, and the fifth part is Zhang Li and Song Tie.
There are four or five first-line actresses alone. Yan Shuangying can be called the most beautiful woman in the world, but she is also good at conquering her wife.
The above-mentioned heroines, all real heroines, were killed. Among them, the roles of Liu Yan and Song Tie were secret love, and were not accepted by Yan Shuangying. But even so, Liu Yan eventually left the country and Song Tie died.
The lone star of evil in the absolute sense!
However, screenwriter Lao Qian was soft-hearted and did not let Yan Shuangying die alone.
Fan Xiaopang, the most popular heroine in the entire series, was invited to make a guest appearance. She appeared at the end of the fifth part and appeared on the street. Yan Shuangying was shocked and chased after her, and then the whole series ended.
It is an open ending. In the end, it is up to the audience to decide whether Fan Xiaopang is the dead heroine in the second part, and whether Yan Shuangying can find a strong-willed wife.
After "Yan Shuang Eagle" and "Detective Di Renjie" ended, Zhang Zijian had to film some other movies here and there.
He has no intention of leaving Fanxing. The company pays well and the environment is relaxed. He shoots movies and participates in variety shows every year, and his life is extremely comfortable.
On the contrary, his old partner Qian Yanqiu wanted to start his own business, and "Detective Detective Dee 5" was his last film contract with Fanxing.
After finishing this film, he will leave Fanxing and start his own company.
Cao Xuan's adult beauty, in addition to the two series "Detective Di Renjie" and "Yan Shuangying", Qian Yanqiu's other works in Fanxing, including "Journey to the West", have been adapted.
Of course, copyright fees still have to be paid, even if the old money comes from the screenwriter and director...
The most confused members of the seven-member group are newcomers Wei Chen and Jia Ling. Even if the others left "Run", they are still impressive.
Once the two of them leave, it would be better to go back to their original shape, but their careers will probably be greatly compromised.
Wei Chen is most confused. There has been almost no interest in the music field in the past two years. The company plans to find him an idol drama to film, and the heroine will be Mao Xiaotong.
Jia Ling is a little better. She knows where her strengths lie and attends the Spring Festival Gala. In addition, she also plans to develop her career in variety show hosting.
With Liu Yan's help, Fanxing Variety Department asked her to serve as the host of a program under Fanxing. She would have to practice for a year or two and then start a separate show for her when she got into the industry.
One by one, Stars artists emerged in the Spring Festival Gala. Even though Cao Xuan withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala, he still maintained the influence of Stars.
At least for a few years, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala will still be a very important platform for many artists.
………
After the Spring Festival, Cao Xuan took his family to travel abroad again. He already had a private island.
An island located in the east of Australia, it belongs to Papua New Guinea, but it is very close to Australia. It has a pleasant climate and an area of about 4.5 square kilometers, which is about the size of five Forbidden City.
This is just within Cao Xuan's psychological range. It is too small to be used for activities, and too big to be convenient for construction.
The price of such an island is not cheap. Just buying the island and various licenses cost nearly 50 million US dollars.
This price cannot be said to be expensive, nor can it be said to be cheap. Private islands are inherently unpopular, and there is no fixed market price. It all depends on the negotiation between the buyer and the seller.
Moreover, buying the island is only a small amount of money, and the subsequent construction is the big part. At present, the island has only undergone a simple renovation. Although it is not a desert island, it only has some basic facilities.
In the future, Cao Xuan will not only have to spend money to build the entire island, but also hire security and staff to maintain it. The average person can't afford it.
However, Boss Cao has too much money to spend. Building a small island can satisfy his vanity, enjoy it and preserve its value. He is willing to pay for it.
When returning from Europe, Cao Xuan even came to this island to have a look.
The transportation is not very convenient. It takes a long time just to travel. Later, we have to buy a helicopter or get a boat.
However, the island is still very beautiful, with beaches, cliffs, and woods all available, and the climate is also good.
Putting aside some extreme weather periods, most of the time it is neither cold nor hot, making it particularly suitable for living.
This was what Cao Xuan valued when he bought the island. After all, he was going on vacation and leisure. If the island was cold in winter and hot in summer and no one could live there, then the money would be wasted.
The original name of this island was a very hard-to-pronounce name, which seemed to be the name of a tribe’s specialty, and Cao Xuan felt that he couldn’t remember it.
It happened that it was night when he left the island. Cao Xuan looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky and the stars scattered all over the island. It was so beautiful that he named the island Xingyue Island.
After this island was purchased by Cao Xuan, it became his private island. He could change the name on his own, but he had to announce the correction in several nearby countries in a timely manner, otherwise many things would be troublesome.
Naturally, there are staff to deal with these matters, and Cao Xuan has already found a professional team to handle them.
The remaining procedures will be completed first, and then some infrastructure will be added. Finally, a detailed exploration of the island will be conducted, and a designer will be asked to make a plan. Once Cao Xuan agrees, construction will begin immediately.
If everything goes well, the family's vacation spot will be on Xingyue Island during the Spring Festival the year after next.
Due to the inconvenience of traveling, Cao Xuan went alone. When he got home, he showed off the photos he took on the island to everyone.
"Look, this is a coconut forest. There are probably dozens of trees. I asked someone to test it. It can be eaten directly."
"It is said that there are kangaroos on the island, but they were hiding and I didn't see them. I should be able to catch them if I search the island later."
"There is a freshwater spring on the island. Although it is not big, it is enough for daily drinking after filtering. Other water can be filtered with seawater, which is much easier than transporting it from other places."
"This is a beach, all white, but you can grab a few beach chairs and sunbathe comfortably."
"Didn't Dad learn to fish recently? I asked, and the sea resources in that area are quite rich. He directly drove the boat to the sea to fish, and he just picked up dozens of kilograms."
"..."
Cao Xuan excitedly shared his idea about the island, and his family was very supportive, especially Hu Jing and Zeng Li.
They are also considered celebrities and can appreciate the side effects of fame better than Sun Lan and his wife. They are also happy to finally have a private territory that is not disturbed by the outside world.
Now it is troublesome for the family to travel. Cao Xuan can hardly show up at home, and there are fewer and fewer places to go abroad. Not to mention Cao Xuan, even the Empress of the East Palace is famous in Europe and the United States because of "Hurricane Rescue 2".
Coupled with the incident last year when they were photographed, they didn't dare to act arrogantly in public when going abroad. They were careful about everything and had no fun at all.
There may not be much to do on the island, but the key is that it is quiet and undisturbed, so you can have fun as you like. It is a good place to relax and cultivate yourself.
And the most important thing is that you can bring your friends. A family may be bored, but a group of people can have fun.
You don’t have to worry about reporters taking secret photos and you can enjoy your private life. It is estimated that many people are willing to experience it.
"That's right. When you have a design draft later, show it to me and we can both give you our opinions."
Hu Jing's face was filled with anticipation, and she was even thinking about the invitation list in her mind. She happily brought the melon seeds and just cracked a few, when she suddenly felt nauseous and tilted her head and retched.
"vomit…"
"It's okay, eat slowly."
Cao Xuan thought she was choking, and hurriedly came over to pat her back and pour some water. However, Sun Lan and his wife next to him looked at each other, their eyes flickering.
Empress Xigong also quickly realized something was wrong. She counted the time of Hu Jing's relatives and patted her thigh.
"I'm almost ten days late, Jingjing, you won't have it, right?"
