Chapter 661 Square Dance Divine Comedy and Earth Defense War
"Friends, I found a treasured new song. My aunt said it was written by her son to be her accompaniment for a square dance. What do you think? How many points can you give it?"
The young man took out his mobile phone and recorded the audio of "Do You Want to Dance" played on Sun Lan's stereo. He searched online for a long time and couldn't find it, so he had to ask for help on Weibo.
There are still many enthusiastic netizens. The main reason is that this song has a cheerful and rhythmic rhythm, which is impressive.
【This song is so exciting, it makes me want to dance】
[Hahaha, the rhythm is so strong, I am already shaking my head and dancing in the bedroom]
[It sounds really good, I’ll give it 8.5 points]
[The voice sounds familiar, but the recording is a little noisy and I can’t hear it]
[What a great song, it has a hearty and carefree feeling]
[The aunties in the video are smiling so happily. Good music puts people in a good mood]
[Written by my son, my aunt must be very proud]
[Listen carefully, the lyrics are well written and have an optimistic and sunny feeling]
[The masters are among the people]
[The song is not bad, but the person who recorded the song is not very good at singing. He is obviously not a professional singer. It would be better if he replaced him]
[What, could it be because of the sound + mobile phone recording effect?]
[Don’t brag, it’s just a mediocre song, don’t use your hobby to challenge the job of a professional musician]
【……】
Even the young man didn't expect that a short video he shot casually would become famous and later become a trending topic on Weibo.
On the one hand, the song is really eye-catching, and on the other hand, the son's creation of a square dance accompaniment for his mother was quite a gimmick, and in the end, many people started bickering.
Many so-called senior music fans or so-called experts in the industry do not agree with the "masters are among the people" advocated by many netizens, and they have started to criticize it.
Netizens were dissatisfied and thought the song was good. These people were nitpicking and felt guilty that they could not write such a good song, so they ridiculed it.
As time went by, the two families started to fight.
As the fight is getting lively, Fanxing has launched a wave of publicity and the official Weibo has launched a new single "Do You Want to Dance".
Many fans who have listened to it clicked in and saw that this was not the same song.
Plagiarism? Or leaking secrets in advance?
The reporters and media opened their eyes even more. It is possible that Cao Tianwang, who has been in the music industry for more than ten years, will overturn this time.
Of course, the public is not stupid. Before the rhythm started, some people realized that Cao Xuan might be the son who wrote the square dance accompaniment for his mother.
The quality of the song "Do You Want to Dance" lies here. If it was written by an amateur, everyone might be surprised or disbelieving, but if it was written by Cao Xuan, then it would be nothing.
Cao Xuan didn't respond, and ran to Houhai Park with reporters to block people. Sun Lan didn't run into him, but he ran into an aunt who was dancing with him.
The aunt readily admitted: "Cao Xuan was the one who wrote the song. His mother is the vice-captain of our dance team. Our dance team is going to participate in the district competition. His mother specially asked him to write the accompaniment song and also helped the teacher practice the dance.
We are rehearsing."
The popularity of this interview was even higher than when Cao Xuan himself released a new single, and netizens made fun of him one after another.
"The only thing in the world that can prevent Cao Xuan from quitting the music scene is that his mother needs accompaniment for square dancing."
"It has to be my own mother. Hundreds of millions of people have been urging me to release a new song for several years, but as soon as my mother opened her mouth, she started writing it immediately."
"I understand, this is to let my son learn music and write songs for me when he gets old.
"Other dance team aunts: In a district-level competition, do you need to use nuclear weapons?"
"Strongly support the aunties from other dance teams to report that someone is cheating (dog head)."
Some people also focused on the experts and music critics who had previously spoken highly of the song.
"Come out and apologize to me!"
"Cao Xuan can't sing? Is it mediocre? Are you blushing?"
"Hahaha, a big slap in the face scene."
"I thought it was a soft persimmon, but turned out to be a big devil. An excellent script."
"Hold on, I want to write it into mine."
"Hand in on a book title."
"Write quickly and I'll type it for you (this chapter is not finished yet!)
571 Square Dance Divine Comedy and Earth Defense Battle
Reward the leader of the alliance."
"."
The outside world caused a lot of trouble because of this "Oolong", but it also led to the song "Do You Want to Dance" successfully become popular, successfully reaching the top of the charts in a short period of time, and becoming a rare "dance song" in Cao Xuan's career?
.
But what many people don't know is that although this song is very popular, it has not been recognized by Sun Lan and others.
They felt that this song was too explosive and not suitable for their age and style. Many people preferred another light-hearted song "Little Apple".
The melody is cheerful and the movements are simple. It may not be as explosive and boiling as "Do You Want to Dance", but it also has an indescribable magic and is also a good accompaniment for square dancing.
In the final democratic vote of the dance team, more than 65% of people preferred "Little Apple", and "Do You Want to Dance" sung by Cao Xuan was eliminated.
Cao Xuan was very hurt, but he had to admit that in the field of square dance, there are indeed few songs that can compete with "Little Apple".
Relying on their new songs, Sun Lan and others made it all the way through, and finally achieved second place. It is worth mentioning that the accompaniment of the championship dance team was another square dance song "The Most Dazzling National Style".
Also during Sun Lan's competition, the Chopsticks Brothers also released this song on the Internet, and in a very short period of time, it became popular in squares across the country.
Although "Do You Want to Dance" had a good reputation and was popular enough before, it was mostly liked by young people. As a square dance song, it was not recognized by square dance adults, at least it was not a popular dance song.
So for most netizens, this is just a joke, and they are not pointing out that Cao Xuanzhen came up with a square dance song.
Until "Little Apple" came out.
How popular has this song become? Cao Xuan's single "Do You Want to Dance" and new English albums such as "SeeYouAgain", Xiao Zhou's new album "Twelve New Works" at the end of last year, Zhang Jie, Eason Chan, JJ Lin, Gu Miaomiao,
Wu Gao and other popular singers were suppressed by this song.
The Internet is okay, and there are still some places for pop songs, but in real life, shopping malls, squares, streets, alleys, radio speakers, and speakers are all filled with the song "Little Apple."
"You are my little one, little Apple. I can't love you too much."
The red little face warms my heart
Light up the fire fire fire fire fire in my life
…”
These lyrics once became the nightmare and curse of many people. They sleep with apples and fire at night.
Netizens were impressed. He is indeed a world-class king with extraordinary skills. He can become so popular with just a commercial dance accompaniment.
Of course, there are also a few people who don't understand Cao Xuan's grandstanding. It's hard to believe that such a slobbery song is actually his work. It's really lackluster.
This statement was immediately refuted by many music critics.
They believe that Cao Xuan wrote the song "Little Apple" deliberately. It is not that Cao Xuan wrote it vulgarly, but that the audience of the song itself is square dance.
Cheerful + simple + strong sense of rhythm + simplicity, with a certain degree of emotional power and impact, is also the biggest reason for the success of "Little Apple".
The key to this song is not that Cao Xuan wrote it vulgarly, but that Cao Xuan accurately grasped the essence of square dance.
It can also be seen from this that Cao Xuan's understanding and control of popular music has reached a superb level. He can write a song casually, which may seem ordinary, but become popular all over the country.
The explanation given by these people made even Cao Xuan blush.
But it turns out that when you reach a certain status, no matter what you do, there will be people who will help you smooth things over from all angles.
If other top-tier singers dared to touch such a mouth-watering song, they would immediately be criticized for being self-destructive, and their talents would be exhausted.
However, given Cao Xuan's current status and achievements, everyone comments on his true temperament, his non-utilitarian approach to music, his spontaneity and simplicity, and he is definitely a master of modern pop music.
It's ironic, but it's also reality.
Especially when "Little Apple" is so popular, even if it is a mediocre song, it still has all kinds of halo bonuses. Coupled with Cao Xuan's golden signature, it will not be praised as a god.
Something strange happened.
At this moment, the happiest people are actually the Chopstick Brothers, who got Cao Xuan's work inexplicably (this chapter is not finished yet!)
571 Square Dance Divine Comedy and Earth Defense Battle
And it's inexplicably bright red and purple.
Even because Cao Xuan stood in the way, a lot of criticism was avoided, and the road to fame became smoother and quieter. This can be regarded as Cao Xuan's compensation for his role in "Oldboy".
…
It’s a new movie, a new album, and square dancing. Cao Xuan has been busy in China for two months.
Looking back at the US Billboard, the number one singles chart is still "SeeYouAgain".
From its first-week victory in early February, to early May now, "SeeYouAgain" has dominated the charts for 14 weeks, almost single-handedly catching up with Cao Xuan's previous two albums "Legend" and "Qing" to win the championship.
number.
If you include the previous three weeks of winning the title, Cao Xuan's new album has accumulated 19 weeks of winning the title, and it is also Cao Xuan's best album.
At the same time, it has been number one for 14 weeks, making "SeeYou Again" tied for second place on the Billboard singles chart with several classic songs.
Ranking first is a song by Sister Niu in 1995, which has won the championship for 16 weeks in total. With the current situation, it may not be impossible to compete. Today, Cao Xuan is no longer on the billboard with those singers of the same period.
Fight, but directly attack various records such as Sister Niu and The Beatles.
Even Billboard officials regard Cao Xuan's album as the final chapter of the legend and assert that Chris Cao is one of the best singers in Billboard history.
Even many harsh American media believe that if Cao Xuan continues to fight in the music industry, most of Sister Niu's Billboard records will probably be shattered. Fortunately, this big devil has publicly announced that he will leave the music industry.
Many people regretted his decision, but at the same time many people were relieved.
They have been severely suppressed in the past few years, and Cao Xuan's performance is getting stronger year by year.
Colleagues are enemies, and everyone hopes there will be fewer such enemies...
The sales volume of the new album is also very impressive. Although it is not as exaggerated as the 10 million sales in three months that many fans clamored for, it is not far behind.
Countries in Asia, Europe, the United States, Australia, and other countries have indeed taught many record dealers a lesson about the influence of a superstar.
According to various predictions, Cao Xuan's total sales of new albums are expected to reach 20 million+, and his personal global album sales are also expected to exceed 150 million.
This number is officially certified by the International Phonographic Association, rather than the sales volume promoted by the media or the company, which often contains a lot of water.
For example, Michael Jackson's number was claimed by many media to be between 300 million and 350 million. However, recording associations from various places jointly certified that the number was only 200 million.
In terms of certified sales by the official association, Michael Jackson ranks second, and the first is the Beatles, with certified sales of 250 million+.
The third is Elvis Presley, an American music superstar of the last century. He was particularly popular in the 1950s to 1970s and had a strong influence in European and American countries.
Cao Xuan ranked sixth, followed by Madonna and Elton John. Needless to say, the former is a world queen, and the latter is a British national treasure singer and piano player.
In addition, the gap between Mu Ye and Cao Xuan is not that big. Both sides are chasing each other. With the success of the new album, Cao Xuan is currently in the lead.
In addition, Rihanna is also catching up, and the new generation of Justin Bieber, Taylor, and Fruit Girl also performed well.
Again, although the record era is declining, the rise of digital albums may not give the new generation of singers an opportunity to overtake them.
Of course, old singers can also get some credit. Classics are not said to be eternal, but at least they won’t become obsolete easily in a short period of time, and scattered pieces can also add a lot of data.
Michael Jackson and the Beatles can surpass Cao Xuan, not only because of the excellent performance of their own works, but also because of decades of accumulation.
They can accumulate, and so can Cao Xuan. If fortune is really strong enough, maybe even when the new generation of singers are overtaken, he can still barely maintain it.
Starting from his second English album "Release", this is already Cao Xuan's fourth album with sales exceeding eight digits.
The clamor of fans is not unreasonable, and to this day (this chapter is not finished yet!)
571 Square Dance Divine Comedy and Earth Defense Battle
Cao Xuan is still one of the best-selling singers in the world, and sometimes he can even briefly remove that "one".
For Cao Xuan, the only focus of the new album is to see him achieve five championships in one specialty.
During this time, he and Warner also thought of many ways to push other songs to the top, and even concentrated various resources to "backstab" "SeeYouAgain", but still did not achieve any good results.
"SeeYouAgain" firmly holds the title of champion.
Whether it was other songs from the new album or new songs from other singers, the runner-up changed six or seven times, taking turns to attack, but life and death could not shake his position.
After being on the charts for several months, only three songs from the new album are still barely in the top ten. However, except for the number one song, the other two are hovering in the seventh or eighth place.
Even if "SeeYouAgain" slips from the top spot, they probably won't be able to top it.
In this case, Cao Xuan and the others also changed their attitude and put all their resources into "See You Again". Warner executives even wanted to achieve the unprecedented epic achievement of winning the title for 20 weeks.
You know, there are only about 52 weeks in a year, and 20 weeks is equivalent to almost half a year. One song dominates the charts for half a year, which is even more dazzling than five albums in one album.
After all, several people have already achieved five championships in one album. Cao Xuan himself has achieved this achievement. On the contrary, a song has topped the singles chart for 20 weeks, which is likely to be the highest peak that Cao Xuan can hardly surpass on the Billboard.
After all, in the era of streaming media, exposure has spread and competition has become more intense. Although it is difficult to achieve five champion singles from one album, it is not necessarily impossible.
But the chance of a song dominating the charts for nearly half a year was extremely slim during the heyday of the Internet.
The already strong "SeeYouAgain", with the support of Cao Xuan and Warner regardless of investment, its championship status is still stable.
Many popular singers such as Martian Brother, Rihanna, Pink Mom, Fruit Sister, etc. have personal masterpieces, and even some championship singles, but there is still no way to get "SeeYouAgain".
Even the American media jokingly said that the highlight of the Billboard is not who can counterattack and win the championship, but who will be the next runner-up.
Under such circumstances, time passed slowly in May. "SeeYouAgain" has won the championship for 17 weeks in total, officially surpassing Sister Niu and becoming the song that has won the most weeks on the Billboard.
At the same time, the goal of 20 weeks is only a hair away.
However, at this time, it has been dominating the charts for more than three months. Even if "SeeYouAgain" is half the hit, it will inevitably fall into decline.
In the first week of June, "SeeYouAgain" finally failed to hold the number one spot after 17 consecutive weeks of winning the title. It was counterattacked by a song co-written by Rihanna and Steve Jobs.
The most popular diva in the United States + the king of American hip-hop, two superstars work together, and it is not unfair for Cao Xuan to be pulled down this time.
Not to mention, although "SeeYouAgain" was counterattacked, it still has enough energy to firmly occupy the second place and can continue to attack the championship.
Attack and defense are changing. "SeeYouAgain" has been a target for more than three months. Now changing roles may not be a bad thing.
What's even more gratifying is that in June Cao Xuan's movie "Rescue 3" was released. Although the film and music are not from the same company, it can still increase some popularity and exposure, which will help "SeeYouAgain" regain the championship.
Cao Xuan, who came to the United States to promote "Rescue 3", also found time to help promote the new album. Warner even launched a series of activities to help "SeeYouAgain" gain popularity.
Rihanna + Mu Ye VS Cao Xuan
Although they are only competing for the weekly top spot on the Billboard singles chart, due to their special nature, Cao Xuan wants to continue his dominance, Rihanna and Jim want to challenge "SeeYouAgain" and "the new king ascends the throne". It is inevitable that the three major superstars will
First head-on collision.
The media, fans, and the general public were very excited, and the fans of the three companies were even more excited.
Cao Xuan fans are aiming to win the championship for 20 weeks. God will kill God if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill Buddha if he blocks Buddha.
Fans of Rihanna and Timberwolves are now not only fighting for themselves, but also (this chapter is not over yet!)
571 Square Dance Divine Comedy and Earth Defense Battle
There are many third-party fans who don't want to see Cao Xuan's family dominate and support them. For this reason, they even did not hesitate to come up with an action code name that looks domineering but feels sensual and condescending.
Battle to defend the Earth!
This slogan unconsciously portrays Cao Xuan as a super devil, but it makes sense. "SeeYouAgain" has won the championship for 17 weeks, so it is very difficult to completely suppress it.
On the one hand, this slogan respects the strength of Cao Xuan and "SeeYouAgain". It can also improve our cohesion and unite in the face of strong enemies.
But countless movies tell us that if we want to win a certain defense battle, the person involved must be the protagonist, otherwise he will be cannon fodder.
Rihanna and Mu Ye are very strong, but they are not the protagonists. In the so-called Earth Defense War, after winning the first battle, they were slapped hard by Cao Xuan in the second round.
On June 14, the latest weekly list of Billboard's singles chart was released.
Emmanuel Macron and Rihanna, who shouted loud slogans, fell back to second place. "SeeYouAgain" only took one week to return to the top spot and has won the championship for a total of 18 weeks.
The battle to defend the Earth has failed, and Devil Cao continues to wreak havoc on the American music scene!
