The live interviews of "Tonight's Show" are quite influential, with an average of tens of thousands of viewers watching each episode live, and the subsequent replays have easily exceeded 10 million.
Nowadays, Zeng Lihe's "Sword Rain" is popular again, and this program is still paying attention to many people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zeng Li rarely shows up and has little experience in giving interviews. After having a good chat, he inadvertently spread a lot of celebrity gossip.
For example, when Yuanquan was in college, he weighed over 120 pounds and was a little chubby. He collected money to buy slimming tea and then went to Shichahai every day to lose weight.
Queen Wang Fei plans to hold a concert tour, with at least a dozen concerts in Beijing and Shanghai, and she may also go to support the tour.
Cao Xuan likes to watch sitcoms while eating. The most frequently played ones are "Wulin Gaiden" and "Underground Traffic Station".
Most of the above are trivial matters of little consequence, just small talk after tea and dinner, leaving everyone to relieve their boredom.
But Zeng Li accidentally exposed a big piece of information, which immediately shot to the top of Weibo’s list.
Liu Tianxian is single and has never had a boyfriend so far!
As soon as Zeng Li said these words, the group of fairy fans were as happy as the Prime Minister Neon, beating gongs and drums, and blasting firecrackers.
As one of the most popular celebrities born in the 1980s, Liu Tianxian is extremely popular right now and has naturally attracted the attention of the media. Even though the rumors have been repeatedly refuted, there have been many similar scandals.
Putting aside Cao Xuan's malicious speculation, the one with the most widespread scandals is Hu Ge. The two have collaborated in three movies, and there are still many fans of CP. It is hard not to think of it.
In addition to Hu Ge, Wen Zhang has become famous in the past two years, and there are also rumors that the two had a sadomasochistic relationship in college.
In addition, there are more or less related rumors about several works in which Liu Tianxian participated.
For example, Chef Xie in "October Siege", the Hong Kong media directly exclaimed that Zhang Yunv was in crisis. After all, it happened to coincide with the aftermath of the XX Sect, and many people believed it.
So much so that there are still many fans of Liu Tianxian, who are still the fans of Chef Xie, and they ridicule him every time he is mentioned.
This time in "Three Kingdoms·Guandu", Hu Ge and Jincheng Wu are starring opposite each other, and there are related scandals.
In fact, this is difficult to avoid. On the one hand, it is the need for publicity of the crew, and scandals are the news that can open up the situation the fastest.
In addition, Liu Tianxian is too popular, and the media has to stir up trouble even if it doesn't matter. Fanxing takes a strict look at it, and dare not throw dirty water on scandals, so they can only indulge in scandals on the sidelines, otherwise they will not be able to gain popularity.
Fanxing also turned a blind eye to this.
There is no other way, we can't get too stalemate with the media, as it may even involve the interests of many crew members and partners.
This is what celebrities eat, so they can't stop them. They just follow the scandals and refute them, and beat them from time to time to keep the heat within a controllable range.
But after all, this had some impact on Liu Tianxian's beautiful girl route, and this time Zeng Li made a mistake and proved it for his students.
Anyone who is a fan of Liu Tianxian knows very well what Zeng Li means to their idol.
Liu Tianxian admitted that Zeng Li was the one who got into the drama test at the beginning. Teacher Zeng invited her to apply for the drama and gave her a lot of help in her studies and life. When Zeng Li was mentioned on many occasions, Liu Tianxian always respected and respected her.
gratitude.
And Liu Tianxian signed a contract with Fanxing and quickly gained a lot of praise, and there are many opinions.
Fanxing's official statement is that Zhang Dabeard led people to visit the class, and was picked by Cao Xuan at a glance, signed into Fanxing, and focused on training.
This is also the true situation in reality, but Cao Xuan praised Liu Tianxian based on his golden finger, rather than the so-called Bole vision.
Because this matter is a bit mysterious, many passers-by are skeptical about this statement. They are more willing to believe that Boss Cao is motivated by sex, or because his mother benefits his daughter.
However, fans of Liu Tianxian believe in this statement, and there are even various derivative versions to add luster to the main character.
For example, when Cao Xuan saw Liu Tianxian for the first time, he was like Liu Xuande meeting Zhuge Liang. He was immediately overwhelmed by this girl's extraordinary appearance and temperament, and said that this girl must not be... No, he said that this girl has the appearance of a superstar.
There is another theory that is recognized by many fans and passers-by, that is, Liu Tianxian was discovered by Zeng Li and made repeated suggestions, and was highly praised by Cao Xuan.
After all, the relationship between Zeng Li and Liu Tianxian was indeed extraordinary, and the latter was her favorite student.
At the same time, the Empress of the West Palace had various scandals with Cao Xuan. It was almost universally acknowledged that the two were having an affair. Zeng Li must be influential in Cao Xuan. As soon as the pillow wind blew, his students took off immediately.
Liu Tianxian's fans have a good impression of Zeng Li and think it is good to have a teacher to protect him. Passers-by think this statement is more reliable than a first glance or a rice bowl, and it is also logical.
Some people even speculate that Hu Jing single-handedly supported Damimi, and Zeng Li was Liu Tianxian’s mentor.
The reason for the discord between the two is not only the competition for resources and being number one in the same age group, but also the rivalry between Cao Xuan and his two confidante Zeng and Hu.
I have to say that although it is a bit off, it can be regarded as guessing the truth...
However, it is precisely because of the deep connection between Zeng Li and Liu Tianxian that everyone believed her when she said this.
At least most people were willing to believe her words, and there was no need for Zeng Li to lie on this matter.
A popular fried chicken, with good looks and a lovable personality, who has never been in love, perfectly fits the concept of the goddess in most men's dreams.
Male stars have girlfriends who are fans, and female stars naturally have husbands who are fans. For most popular stars, being single is definitely a plus, let alone those who have never been in love.
Fans of Liu Tianxian reveled and passers-by were also very happy.
It doesn't matter if I don't get it, what's important is that others can't get it either, so the delicate flowers should be appreciated by everyone.
Although it accidentally brought a wave of positive enthusiasm to the students, Empress Xigong felt a little guilty and called Liu Tianxian to apologize.
It wasn't because of any leakage of privacy. Liu Tianxian had already claimed to be single, but she just confirmed it from the side.
What Zeng Li really felt guilty about was that she didn't keep her mouth shut and had the intention of teasing Liu Tianxian.
The better the character is, the worse the crash will be!
In the same way, Liu Tianxian has received a lot of support because of his single and emotionally pure character. If he says goodbye to being single one day, there will probably be a huge backlash. The more people cheer now, the angrier they will be then.
However, Cao Xuan told her not to think too much. From the moment Liu Tianxian took the jade girl route, it would be impossible to avoid it.
Liu Tianxian is as popular as he is today, whether it is because the team deliberately chose the character, or because he was speculated by the audience in various ways, but it is undeniable that this character or image positioning plays the most important role.
Since you choose to enjoy the benefits and advantages brought by this matter, you will definitely have to bear the consequences. There are so many good things in the world that have the best of both worlds.
Moreover, the most important thing is that we don’t know when this will come true.
Maybe before Liu Tianxian fell in love, she would have already passed away, and no one would care about her replacement every year...
Cao Xuan said this very regretfully, and it was purely to comfort Zeng Li. If Liu Tianxian could survive to this extent, it would take at least 15 to 20 years.
Zeng Li is not stupid. She knows how popular her students are, but she doesn't think they can be popular for more than ten years.
When Liu Tianxian is past his peak period, even if it has an impact, it won't be a serious injury.
Besides, at that time, many of Liu Tianxian's male fans were also in their third year of life, or even in their thirties, so they probably wouldn't have the time to care about female celebrities' relationships...
After thinking about it this way, Zeng Li relaxed a lot, but he was a little resistant to the interview for a short period of time, mainly because he was afraid that he would reveal something inappropriately and harm his family and friends.
In subsequent interviews, Zeng Li was very strict with his words and basically only talked about "Sword Rain", which disappointed many media outlets.
They really ignored Zeng Li before, but it was not until this live broadcast that they discovered that this teacher Zeng is a treasure.
I have a very good relationship with the two star classes of Class 96 and Class 02, I don’t know Cao Xuan, and I have friends with many celebrities. When it comes to interviews, I am not as slippery as those popular celebrities. If I can formulate a few sentences, I can do it.
It's hard to make a big headline.
It's a pity that the Empress of the West Palace had already taken precautions after suffering the loss and didn't take the bait at all.
She doesn't care about fame and exposure, and she doesn't care about pleasing the media. She has nothing to say if she gets angry.
The media really can't do anything about her. People don't care about being blocked by the media. It just goes along with the saying that if you don't have desires, you will be strong.
Of course, the general media can still smear and accuse, but Zeng Li is not an ordinary artist with no background. Without Fanxing coming forward, Zeng Li can easily form a luxurious team of lawyers to bring Zhang San to justice.
Although there are no major publicity hits in the follow-up, the previous box office data of "Sword Rain" are good, and the overall trend can be said to be stable.
In the end, "A Rain of Swords" achieved a total box office of 278 million when it was released in mid-June, beating "Ip Man 2" and "Iron Man 2" to win the box office championship in May.
Even the box office in Asia during the same period was good. For example, Japan had a box office of almost 2.2 billion yen, which is about 170 million yuan, and the other Asian countries combined also had about 89 million yuan.
For a Chinese-language movie with a martial arts theme that has been in decline in recent years, this is already a relatively impressive achievement.
If it weren't for Cao Xuan to carry the flag, let alone another 260 million in Asian box office, it would be nice to have a fraction of that.
New Line in North America has also introduced "Sword Rain", which will probably be released in the summer, but I don't have much hope, mainly targeting the DVD and TV markets.
After the "Hurricane Rescue" series, Cao Xuan became the new favorite on DVD and TV channels in North America and even Europe.
According to statistics, the revenue from these two channels for the "Hurricane Rescue" series has accumulated to more than 150 million U.S. dollars, and it is still making a steady stream of revenue.
Even because of these two movies, Cao Xuan's other Chinese movies became popular.
The most popular series is probably the "Xiu Chun Knife" series, which has earned over 10 million US dollars. The "Painted Skin" and "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" series are also performing well, and the other series "New World" and "When Men Are in Love" are also slightly famous.
Perhaps among the overseas public, these Chinese-language films by Cao Xuan are not particularly famous, but moviegoers who love watching movies have probably seen them to some extent.
Just like domestic audiences not only love to watch Hollywood blockbusters, they also browse box office masterpieces from China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Europe, India and other countries.
These movies of Cao Xuan are also well-known box office hits in China. In addition, due to his high international reputation, there are still many movie fans who are willing to buy into them.
There is even an American company planning to buy the rights to remake "New World" and "Saving Mr. Me".
This is not the first time Fanxing has sold out its film and television remake rights.
The most popular ones are in South Korea, where the movies include "When Men Fall in Love", "The New World", "Painted Skin" and "Save Mr. My Life", and the TV series include "Tang Gong Suo Jade", "The Heirs" and "The Temptation of Going Home".
Japan and Russia have also purchased the rights to "New World", but there has been no remake yet.
Some plan to make and sell them for money, while others simply hoard the remake rights.
This kind of operation is very common among film and television companies in various countries. Most of the film and television remake copyrights are not expensive, even those classic hits are more expensive, and the worst is to get the copyright owners to take shares and share the money.
It's useless to hold the copyright in your hands. You can collect money by adapting it. Why not? If the adaptation becomes popular, you can also feed back the original version.
Fanxing sells them themselves, and also stocks some overseas films and TV shows that are suitable for Chinese adaptation, so that they can be remade if necessary.
"Sword Rain" is a martial arts love story. Although it is not a hit, it is still a bit exciting. If New Line puts it into operation, at least it will not lose money.
Fanxing did the math later and found that even if Cao Xuan's salary was set at 100 million, the entire movie "Sword Rain" probably cost less than 140 million. With the accumulated income from all parties, he could still make a small profit.
For Cao Xuan personally, it is even more profitable.
With a salary of 100 million, Cao Xuan only paid a management fee to Fanxing and then paid taxes, and the rest was all his own "pure profit", which was quite comfortable.
In comparison, Zeng Li only had a pitiful salary of 1 million for filming "Sword Rain".
Not only does she have to pay taxes, but her own agency is a leather goods company in Xiangjiang. Of course, this is just an external statement. In fact, it is managed by her agent Han Mei, and Zeng Li is the boss.
In other words, Zeng had to pay several people in Korea and the United States with this small salary.
She has no other commercial endorsements or announcements, and basically depends on her salary.
After deducting taxes from the 1 million film remuneration, and giving them one year's salary to Korea and the United States, as well as various miscellaneous expenses, Zeng Zeng left this "Sword Rain" and it was almost like working in vain, and he might even have to repay the money.
Being a star means losing money, and Empress Nishinomiya can be considered a scene in the entertainment industry...
………
Cao Xuan didn't pay much attention to "Sword Rain". Apart from contacting Zeng Li every day and occasionally filming a few VCR station scenes, he spent the rest of his time filming "Now You See Me".
Of course, another thing is to support the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
When Cao Xuan went to South Africa to hold a concert in 2007, he was warmly welcomed by local senior officials. At that time, some people wanted to invite Cao Xuan to perform at the World Cup in South Africa.
However, when I actually started to perform it later, I found that this matter was very complicated.
The interests of the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee, FIFA, and other parties are completely inconsistent.
Many people tend to look for international big names, such as Cao Xuan, and Shakira who is recommended by many people.
But there are also many people who insist that since it is an African World Cup, why not use a local African singer, but find a South American or Asian.
The internal divisions in this matter were particularly serious, and subsequent sponsors, brands, and various contract parties also became involved.
Regarding the World Cup performance in South Africa, Cao Xuan's attitude is that it can happen or not, and he is not stubborn.
After all, he has already been to a World Cup, which is considered a dream come true, and Cao Xuan originally wanted to go overseas. Performing in the World Cup can increase his international influence.
Now Cao Xuan's status and influence are already among the top in the world, and he doesn't need the World Cup to add glory to him.
If the organizer kindly invites someone, Cao Xuan has to give him face, but now it's all a mess, and even if many people support it, he really doesn't want to wade into troubled waters.
Of course, Cao Xuan still supports Africa as this is a sports event, so he was invited by the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee to write a theme song for the 2010 South Africa World Cup.
《Waka Waka》
The title of the song can also be called "This Time for Africa", the literal translation is "This Time is Africa", and the more precise translation is "African Moment".
"Waka Waka" is a verb meaning "fire" in the African Swahili language. Swahili is commonly used in East African countries and is also the official language of the African Union and many African countries. The title of the song means the fire of football.
All over Africa.
Cao Xuan wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and then helped an old friend by appointing Shakira to sing.
At that time, Shakira and Sony were competing for this opportunity. The latter was a partner of FIFA and planned to dominate the theme song of this year's World Cup.
But there are many people in Africa who oppose it. Now with Cao Xuan's help, they have eliminated a lot of resistance.
Shakira: "Cao, thank you~"
Cao Xuan: "You're welcome."
In addition to writing a theme song for Shakira, Cao Xuan himself is not idle either. He also has to shoot an advertisement for Pepsi Cola.
In 2002, Cao Xuan's song "The Flag Begins to Win" stole the spotlight for the Pepsi-Cola Japan and South Korea World Cup, and even turned the advertising song into the theme song.
In 2006, Cao Xuan did not release a new work. Instead, he adapted his own theme song "Slod Out" from "The Matrix" and even invited a bunch of Pepsi stars to play The Matrix meme.
However, although the melody of this song is quite high-pitched, the overall style is rather deep and not suitable for the passionate atmosphere of football, so the response was mediocre.
During this year's World Cup in South Africa, Pepsi approached Cao Xuan and took a fancy to the song "Wake" he wrote for Manchester United.
Cao Xuan released this song in late May last year, just in time for Manchester United to reach the Champions League final, making the song an instant hit.
At the subsequent home game of Manchester United, the live DJ at Old Trafford played the song directly, and tens of thousands of fans sang along. Federerand, Neville and other Manchester United players even sang to the camera after the game.
The reason why the song "Wake" was quickly accepted by Manchester United fans and players is that Cao Xuan is a star fan of Manchester United and one of his own.
Another reason is that this song is so popular.
Half a week after the song was released, it reached No. 1 on the British music charts, and stayed in the top three of the charts for more than two months. During this period, it became popular throughout Europe, winning in many countries including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland.
Music chart toppers.
As a pop song, it is rare to be so popular, but it is not unprecedented.
But as an original and semi-team anthem, it is definitely the only one in Europe that can be so popular.
Even songs such as Liverpool's "You'll Never Walk Alone" are very influential, but they are adapted songs after all and are not as popular as "Wake".
Fans of many clubs are a little bit sour and hope that their own fans will also be able to compete with Manchester United.
In particular, Manchester City's Oasis band and those singers from Liverpool were highlighted. After all, they are old enemies. Others can forget about it, but you can't express your feelings.
Fortunately, they lost the Champions League final and Manchester United did not win the championship. Otherwise, the combination of the song and the championship, which was popular in Europe, would have been enough to make Manchester United fans cry.
But no matter what, "Wake" still has a strong presence and has quickly become the new favorite of Manchester United fans. Although it has not yet reached the level of a team anthem, its influence and popularity are even greater.
Even many fans of small clubs have modified their own club's version based on Cao Xuan's "Wake".
It's very simple. You don't need to change most of the football lyrics. You just need to change the Manchester United elements in it to your own club.
If Cao Xuan sues all these clubs and fans and wins all of them, the compensation will probably be enough to relieve C Luo...
Pepsi-Cola took a fancy to the influence of Cao Xuan's song and felt it was particularly suitable for the atmosphere of the World Cup, so they changed the relevant lyrics and released a World Cup version.
Cao Xuan dedicated two days to shoot the commercial and re-record the song.
The final commercial was launched on June 10, just one day before the 2010 World Cup.
Pepsi's star lineup is quite luxurious, including Messi Kaka, Drogba, Torres, Lampard, and Henry.
The advertisement is also very interesting. Cao Xuan has oil paint on his face, a loudspeaker hanging on his chest, wearing the jersey of the Chinese team, cheering in front of the TV, looking like a standard football match.
Then the prelude to the melody of "Wake" sounded, and clips of several Pepsi stars' heroic appearances on the field appeared in turn.
Since it is the World Cup, they are basically all national team uniforms. Some are from real stadiums and some are performance clips, mainly for visual effects.
For example, Drogba knocked away two defenders, flew into the air, and scored with a header.
During the Argentina-Brazil battle, Messi and Kaka grabbed the ball in the middle circle, but it was stolen by their common teammate Alves.
Accompanied by the passionate singing of "Wake", the whole advertisement is particularly sizzling, making people excited to watch it.
Cao Xuan in the advertisement was also dancing and even moved to tears.
It wasn't until the end of the commercial when the camera switched to the TV screen he was watching that everyone realized that the video he was watching had nothing to do with the above-mentioned scene. The TV was always playing a Pepsi commercial starring himself.
Question successfully!
And this advertising video quickly became popular with Pepsi's super channel and the hot start of the World Cup.
Even "Wake" became a hit. If we say this song used to mainly influence Europe and Manchester United and its fan groups.
Now, through the spread of the World Cup, it has successfully broken out of the circle and spread all over the world.
When Cao Xuan was filming in the United States, you could see the Pepsi commercial he acted in, and many extras and crew members on the set also downloaded this song.
In addition to "Wake" sung by Cao Xuan himself, "Waka Waka", the theme song sung by Shakira for the World Cup in South Africa, is also very popular.
The two most popular songs of the entire World Cup in South Africa were both written by Cao Xuan. Together with the 2002 song "The Victory", many people call Cao Xuan the "King of Green Singers".
It is said that the Brazil World Cup Organizing Committee has begun to think about inviting Cao Xuan to sing, and even the London Olympics is slightly interested.
Cao Xuan himself was worried. Why did he keep pushing for this job more and more...
