On December 5, a generation of gangster Zhang Ziqiang was executed in Shenzhen City.
However, this old man's legendary deeds have not faded over time, but have been remade over and over again by major directors in Hong Kong. He can be said to be one of the most famous criminals in modern China.
Almost on the same day, Cao Xuan also passed the second round of Spring Festival Gala rehearsals. After passing the next round of review, he can officially participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.
By that time, Cao Xuan was going to take his parents from his hometown to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
Anyway, the CCTV building is less than 20 minutes' drive from Dashizuo Hutong. After the show, you can go home for New Year's Eve dinner.
After the second round of rehearsals, Cao Xuan was invited by Warner to go to the southern provinces to continue the unfinished nationwide signing event.
In the past November, Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi were still competing fiercely in the rankings. Although their dominance was not as stable as the previous two months, they still had a large advantage.
Four songs, "Fairy Tale", "Dusk", "Sad Pacific" and "Look Over the Girl Opposite", are still firmly in the top ten. "Fairy Tale" has even remained in the top three, and has returned to the top of the list from time to time.
But the joint dominance of [Nan Ren and Bei Cao] will not last long.
In November, Liu Tianwang released a new album, including the title song "Stupid Kid" co-released with Taiwan's popular host Wu Zongxian and Ke Shouliang, who drove past Hukou last year, and it has won the love of many fans.
In the same month, Liu Rene's famous song "Love You Very Much" also made its way to the mainland after arousing good response in Taiwan.
In December, all the gods come out.
Zhang Chenyue released his masterpiece "Love Me Don't Go", and Kelly Chen, who is currently competing for the position of Queen of Hong Kong, also released the classic song "Notepad".
However, the most powerful song is Zhang Yu's "The Trouble Caused by the Moon". Soon after the album was released, it was sung all over the Taiwan Strait and three places.
The momentum is strong, second only to Cao Xuan's "Stars" and Ren Xianqi's "Love in the Pacific".
Cao Xuan still attaches great importance to Zhang Yu. After he married his wife Shiyilang, the husband and wife team worked together to create a series of masterpieces.
Before Jay Chou debuted, among the male singers in Taiwan, apart from Ren Xianqi, he was the most popular, and others such as Zhang Xinzhe, Dick Cowboy, and Lin Zhixuan were all ranked behind him.
If it weren't for his appearance and age, as well as his songs that were too sad and sentimental and too single, Zhang Yu might even have the chance to become the King of Chinese.
However, attention must be paid to it. Compared with Ren Xianqi, the real enemy, Zhang Yu has to take a back seat.
Even Nicholas Tse, who will officially become famous in the music industry next year, ranks ahead of him in terms of threat to Cao Xuan.
The little Asian king who later turned to cook was the only singer who could compete head-to-head with Ren Xianqi at his peak.
Although his momentum includes various reasons such as the strong support from Hong Kong circles, the bonus of good looks, and the huge popularity of "Feng Feilian", Nicholas Tse's own strength should not be underestimated.
However, Cao Xuan still has a psychological advantage over him.
Ren Xianqi did not keep Nicholas Tse in mind initially, partly because the latter was handsome, which made up for the gap left by him and attracted a large number of female fans and young fans.
But now there is Cao Xuan, who is even more handsome than Nicholas Tse. Not only does his song sell better than that of Ren Xianqi, but he and Ren Xianqi have also formed a confrontation situation of "South Ren Ren Bei Cao", feeding back each other's popularity.
Even though Chef Xie has strong support from Hong Kong circles and the Queen Wang Fei helps stir up scandals, it is still difficult to break through the blockade and suppression of [Nan Ren Bei Cao].
If one of them fails, he will become the third child who is killed by the aftermath of the fight between the boss and the second child...
………
Because he had to return to Beijing to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Cao Xuan's schedule for the autograph session was very tight. He traveled to two provinces in one week, and his sales increased by 100,000+.
The total sales volume of the "Starry Stars" album has also exceeded the 2.2 million mark, and it is basically confirmed to win this year's annual sales championship.
The first album won the best-selling album of the year, coupled with the popularity of "Nan Ren Bei Cao".
It can be said that Cao Xuan has now half-stepped into the threshold of the king of Chinese music.
If the next album can achieve two-thirds or even half of the results of "Starry Stars", he will be able to cross the threshold and become the new king of the Chinese music scene.
Therefore, the key to Cao Xuan's next two albums can be said to be top priority, one to reach the top of the charts and the other to consolidate his popularity.
In the past, countless first-line singers have failed at these two important levels and become fleeting meteors.
If Cao Xuan doesn't want to repeat their mistakes, he must take the following two steps and become a true Chinese king.
In fact, he had considered Cao Xuan's new album a long time ago and only selected 10 songs after careful consideration.
Like "Starry Stars", 5 of these 10 songs are relatively mediocre, while the remaining 5 are hits and serve as the title songs of the new album.
The first song, "Did anyone tell you"
The song was a huge hit when it was first released. It was played in high-speed rotation in the streets and alleys. When the ringtone rang on the bus, everyone reached for their cell phones in their trouser pockets.
In a few years, the era of ring tones will come, and the profits created by a popular ring tones may even reach hundreds of millions.
Naturally, Cao Xuan would not miss this kind of business of picking up money everywhere. For each subsequent album, he would arrange 1 to 3 red ringtone songs, at least one of which would be a hit, to prepare for the future ringtone era.
Even Cao Xuan was mentally prepared to put on his vest and sing.
"Free to Fly", "Love Business", "Mouse Loves Rice" and "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong", each song's ringtone revenue is in the hundreds of millions, it would be a pity to give it up in vain.
When the time comes, we will set up a company to run this ringtone business. Even if we are caught, we will most likely refuse to admit it.
The author of the song is obviously XXX, what does it have to do with me, Cao Xuan...
The second song, "Love has to be forced"
Spare Tire Divine Song, a song that ranks at the top of the KTV must-order list, and is very popular.
The third song, "Those Years"
The Divine Comedy of Youth, a generational memory of countless students, and one of the songs that must be sung during the graduation season.
Cao Xuan has already thought about the MV for this song and made a mini version of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". If the MV is effective, it is not impossible to directly change it into a movie in the future.
The fourth song, "First Dream"
The inspirational song of struggle has been sung in almost all schools and has become a wake-up call, recess song, and after-school song, and is played repeatedly.
The tune of this song is an adaptation of "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon" by Miyuki Nakajima, who has supported half of the Chinese music industry.
However, "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon" was only released in 2003, so Cao Xuan could skip Miyuki Nakajima and become an "original" directly.
The fifth song, "If Love Can Love"
One of the most popular songs in 2000, Nicholas Tse's masterpiece. He relied on this song to have a great fight with Simon Yam.
Now that Cao Xuan has gathered the wool in advance, I don’t know what Chef Xie will do when he arrives.
In addition to these 10 songs, Cao Xuan also plans to put the two songs "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Not a Hero" into the album to add a little more boost to the album.
Cao Xuan learned this trick from Naying. She put the popular Spring Festival Gala song "Meet Me at 1998" in the "Conquer" album, and the channeling effect was quite good.
In this way, the second album is equivalent to having seven title songs, and the quality and popularity of the songs are even better than "Starry Stars".
Cao Xuan is very confident.
He is determined to be the King of Chinese, and no one can stop him...
