069 Hope Primary School and Zao City Publicity Ambassador
Cao Xuan traveled around the southern provinces, causing the album sales of "Stars Dotted" to rise again.
At the end of December, "Stars", with a total sales volume of 2.39 million throughout the year, officially became the annual album sales champion in 1998.
Ranking second is "Love in the Pacific" by Ren Xianqi, with total sales of about 1.8 million.
As an album that was only released in the middle of the year, Ren Xianqi was able to sell so many copies not only due to the popularity of "Nan Ren Bei Cao", but also thanks to the base camp of Taiwan Province, which contributed nearly half of the sales.
"Love in the Pacific" is also expected to become the latest local album in Taiwan to break one million sales.
Ranked third is Na Young's "Conquer", with total sales exceeding 1.6 million, and fourth is Lee Moon, with single album sales exceeding 1.4 million.
In the original time and space, Na Young's "Conquest" sold 2 million copies, and Li Wen's two albums both exceeded one million copies.
In addition to Wang Fei, who performed well, Peng Jiahui, who became famous with one song, and singers such as Gigi Leung and Kelly Chen, who have made great efforts, 1998 is also known as the Year of the Queen.
But now Cao Xuan comes out of the blue and joins forces with Ren Xianqi [Nan Ren Bei Cao] to dominate the music scene, and all the queens are being beaten.
With the Queen's year gone, the album sales of Na Young, Lee Moon and others have been affected, and their performance has been weakened to a certain extent.
As the music scene came to an end in 1998, related music awards ceremonies also became active.
A few days ago, the nominees for the Hong Kong Top 10 Golden Songs Awards Ceremony were announced, and Cao Xuan, who is selling like hotcakes, was not even nominated.
Although the list of the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards has not yet been announced, Warner has already received the news and told Cao Xuan not to have too high hopes. If he has the most nominations, he should not think about winning.
On the contrary, awards from mainland China came to Cao Xuan like a tide.
There are awards from Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong Province, TV stations, radio stations, corporate background award ceremonies, there are so many awards. It is the first time for Cao Xuan that there are so many award ceremonies in the mainland.
Hong Kong and Taiwan have a high profile and are self-proclaimed. It is difficult for non-local singers to win awards. There are many pheasant awards in mainland China, and awarding is a trivial matter. Awards are added and deleted at will, and the results are divided at every turn, which cannot form authority and fairness.
In addition, many awards are frequently renamed or even discontinued due to changes in organizers or title sponsors, making it impossible to sustainably spread and consolidate their popularity in the long term.
This is also the reason why many music awards have never been comparable to film and television awards.
As a result, the Chinese music scene declined later. Except for the Taiwan Golden Melody Award, which still had some influence, no one could tell who was who when it came to other awards.
Cao Xuan is not very enthusiastic about these awards. He goes to support them when he has time. If he is not available, he can only say sorry.
………
On the way back to Beijing from the south, Cao Xuan made a special trip back to his hometown, planning to bring his parents to the capital for the New Year.
This time when he returned to his hometown, Cao Xuan kept a very low profile, but he still caused quite a stir in the local area.
When I returned home during the Spring Festival last year, although Cao Xuan had become famous, everyone regarded him as "the actor who starred in Ximen Qing" rather than a so-called big singer.
But now that one year has passed, Cao Xuan's reputation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The album hits including "Fairy Tale" and "Twilight" were sung all over the country. The peak showdown of "Nan Ren Bei Cao" also made the name Cao Xuan out of the circle.
Maybe in other places, Cao Xuan is temporarily not a popular singer, but in his hometown, Cao Xuan, an out-and-out Zaoshi talent, is the real C-position.
Folks, no matter what drama you act in or what song you sing, as long as this big star comes from our hometown, we will definitely support you.
Cao Xuan arrived home on December 28. After being discovered, his home was surrounded by people from the village half an hour later.
Later, the news spread, and people from the town, county, and even the city came to watch the fun, and the entire Caojiazhuang was packed.
Everyone is fresh!
There are few people and poor people in Zao City. It is rare for a big star to become famous nationwide. Why don't you come and see the excitement?
In the end, this incident even alarmed the county leaders, who dispatched the police to maintain order, and finally rescued Cao Xuan from the heavy siege.
It was impossible to live in the village, and people came to hang out every day. Cao Xuan took his parents to a hotel in the city to stay, and at the same time entrusted his uncle Cao Xiaoguo to buy a safe house in the city.
Public security is not good these days. Once your wealth is revealed, there is no guarantee that someone will not have any evil intentions.
Although this possibility is not high, it is not wrong to be careful. Buying a house in the city is more secure and safer than a bungalow in the village.
In fact, Cao Xuan wanted to take his parents directly to settle in the capital, but the old couple couldn't bear to stay with relatives for half their lives, so he had no choice but to follow their wishes.
I will slowly do some ideological work in the future. At worst, they will live together. As long as the couple is happy, nothing else matters.
Cao Xiaoguo has been in business for so many years. Although his business is not big, he does have many friends.
In addition, he now has a nephew of a big star, and he has become very popular in Zao City by bragging. Cao Xuan asked him to inquire about houses, and he made a few random calls and got a few.
place.
Cao Xuan quietly followed Cao Xiaoguo to look around, and finally selected a community.
Located in the city center, all conditions are met. Not far away is the Municipal Public Security Bureau, which is very safe.
In line with the idea of not bothering the two masters, Cao Xuan entrusted the purchase and decoration of the house to his uncle. He was only responsible for paying for it.
The house matter has been settled for the time being, and Cao Xuan is not idle. The people in his hometown support him so much, and he can't say no at all.
First, I visited the village and the town and donated 200,000 yuan to build roads in Caojiazhuang. Any remaining money would be stored in the village to provide relief and care for the orphans, widows, sick and disabled people in the village.
Caojiazhuang is Cao Xuan's hometown. The ancestral graves of the old Cao family are still buried in the hill behind the village. The uncle, uncle and relatives of the family also live in the village.
If Cao Xuan wants to repay his hometown, Cao Guanzhuang must be ranked first.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Xuan talked with H County and planned to build two Hope Primary Schools in some remote places. Each primary school has a size of about 500,000, which can accommodate almost half of the students in nearby towns.
These two hope primary schools are just the beginning. Cao Xuan has plans to build a certain number of hope primary schools and middle schools every year.
Especially in the southwest area, he could not prevent anything, he could only do his best to save some losses.
Cao Xuan gave these hope schools a nice name - [May 4th].
China began to awaken from the "May 4th Movement", and generations of young people built the motherland from scratch. Cao Xuan hopes that these students can inherit the spirit of their ancestors in the future and take over the responsibility of reviving the glory of the Chinese nation.
In addition to building two May Fourth primary schools, Cao Xuan also donated certain amounts of money to social welfare institutions such as welfare homes, nursing homes, and disability centers in the city based on the actual conditions of each party.
In addition, Cao Xuan also asked these organizations for their contact information and account numbers, and agreed to provide funding on time every year in the future.
Cao Xuan spent nearly 1.5 million in charity in Zao City, which attracted the attention of local leaders.
When Cao Xuan was preparing to return to Beijing, the second-in-command of Zao City met with Cao Xuan. The next day, Zao City Daily, the largest circulation newspaper in Zao City, published a front-page headline.
"Enthusiastic about charity and giving back to the elders in his hometown, the popular singer Cao Xuan plans to serve as the publicity ambassador of Zao City"
For a time, Cao Xuan became famous in his hometown and became the pride of Zao City that everyone praised...
