In September, when the concert in Melbourne, Australia ended, only the last stage of Cao Xuan's farewell concert was left - Asia.
To be more precise, it is East Asia. The concert scope includes China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other nearly ten countries, more than 30 cities, and a total of 45 concerts.
Among them, the largest number of concerts is undoubtedly in China, with 32 concerts distributed in 25 cities.
If Cao Xuan goes to "The Voice of China", he can also be a Cao Sanjilang.
Because there were too many performances in the last stage, Cao Xuan didn't have much rest time, so he drove directly to the first stop of his farewell concert in Asia, preparing to rest and adjust before starting the Asian concert directly.
Seoul, Korea
This city left a lot of memories for Cao Xuan, which left a very deep impression on him. Every time he came here, he had mixed emotions.
After coming out of the airport, Cao Xuan did not go to the hotel, but went directly to a villa in Jiangnan District.
This is a property purchased by Cao Xuan's Korean company. In most cases, it is used to entertain VIP guests from some partners. Cao Xuan has never used it.
He came to Korea for a short time before, and was usually contacted by local organizers. He didn't want to make things too complicated or attract attention, so it was more convenient to stay in a hotel.
Otherwise, there were rumors that Cao Xuan bought property in South Korea and how much money he spent to buy a mansion named Balabala.
Regardless of whether it is in Korea or China, many melon-eating people like to discuss these topics, and some people even go online. Cao Xuan is too lazy to bother.
It was just that this time he needed to rest and adjust, so Cao Xuan said hello, vacated the villa, and moved in in a low-key manner.
After a swim in the indoor swimming pool, Cao Xuan was wrapped in a bathrobe and holding a glass of water. While video chatting with his wife and children at home, he admired the night view of the Han River in Seoul not far from the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor.
He looked relaxed and comfortable, and most of the running and fatigue from the third stage of the concert disappeared instantly.
"The river view is pretty good. It's similar to the flat-floor apartment in our Magic City. You can see the Huangpu River at a glance. It's just a little lower. The view from the upper floors should be better."
Hu Jing asked Cao Xuan to take pictures with his cell phone outside the window and analyze the quality of the two houses.
Cao Xuan has many houses in the capital, but the style is really different. If it is not a courtyard house, a villa or even a manor, it is impossible to enjoy such a river view.
It’s not that there’s no water in sight, it’s that there’s no corrupt, luxurious quality of capitalism.
This kind of temperament, if you are an outsider, you will definitely be angry and denounce disgusting vampire capitalists, but if you are in it, it feels actually not bad...
"If you like it, it would be better to buy a set with river view in Korea."
Land is at a premium in Gangnam District, Seoul. After all, this villa is public property, the budget is limited, and the location and design are not particularly good. If Cao Xuan is willing, it is not difficult to try the vision of South Korea's top chaebol.
"Forget it, Korean food is not delicious. I just want to go to the Magic City to see it."
The Empress of the East Palace complained about Korean food and was not interested in traveling to Korea. Cao Xuan was relieved a little. If these two people were interested in Korea, he would be a little panicked.
"Okay, the food is here, hang up."
Cao Xuan saw the WeChat message sent by Zhang Chong, said hello, and went downstairs to eat.
There were not many people, except for the nanny, there were only two people, Zhang Chong and Zhu Jiang. They had seafood hot pot, but it was not Korean style, but they used their own hot pot ingredients.
Zhu Jiang ordered another large bag of Korean fried chicken, one bite at a time, and enjoyed his meal.
Cao Xuan kept his figure, tasted a small portion, and then concentrated on the hot pot. Zhang Chong was greedy and started to eat too.
"Beer goes with fried chicken. Since "My Love from the Star" aired, fried chicken has become quite popular in our country."
Cao Xuan smiled when he heard this. At the end of last year, My Love from the Star, adapted by Fanxing after purchasing a Korean script, premiered on Penguin Star Video.
It is said that this script was already ready for filming in South Korea, but because the heroine Jun Ji-hyun accepted a Chinese TV series.
In the past two years, some Korean stars have entered the domestic market and have benefited a lot. Their income is significantly higher than that in South Korea. Many Korean artists have begun to be keen to enter the Chinese market.
Jun Ji-hyun has not withstood the temptation, and even broke the contract for "My Love from the Star" that was being prepared.
The main selling point of this drama is Jun Ji-hyun. The heroine is ready, but the project has been temporarily stalled. I haven't decided whether to continue because it is being written while filming, and the screenwriter has stopped writing.
Later, I met a producer from Fanxing who "happened" to take a fancy to the script, purchased the outline, and brought it back to China to adapt.
The rest is simple, Fanxing made it into a web drama, and the male protagonist was adapted into an alien [Professor Du] who has been alive since the Ming Dynasty.
The setting of the cold-faced professor, a long-lived alien, and the contrasting female star is still liked by many viewers.
This drama even became the most popular online drama in 2014, making both the male and female protagonists famous.
This character is delicate and aloof to the outside, a mainland tomboy, and is Dili's specialty. Gao Wen, who is famous for her role in "Carat Lovers", has a similar setting.
This drama also contributed to the rapid rise of Dili Rouba, and it is paired with this year's hit "A Little Smile Is Alluring".
In just two years, Dili Rouba has become the most dazzling presence among stars and even newcomers in the industry, and is vaguely known as the number one little flower born in the 90s.
Fanxing is planning to win next year's Golden Eagle Goddess and become a top actress.
After being supported by stars for generations, this golden eagle goddess has become the benchmark for the rise of domestic female stars.
From Hu Jing in the first generation, to Liu Tianxian, Damimi, Zhao Xiaodao, and 85 flower representative Liu Shishi in the later generations.
It can be said that except for one Wang Luodan, the other Golden Eagle Goddess have extremely high gold content. Even Wang Luodan was considered a first-line flower at her peak.
The achievements of the Golden Eagle Goddess have promoted the development of several female stars, and the brilliant careers of several female stars have also helped the Golden Eagle Goddess to receive more and more attention from the outside world.
It can even be said that any new actress who becomes the Golden Eagle Goddess is in the upper half of her generation.
On the contrary, no matter how popular you are, you will still feel bad if you have never been the Golden Eagle Goddess.
It is jokingly said that the attention of the Golden Eagle Goddess is higher than that of the Golden Eagle Queen. And because it is a direct voting on the official website, the competition is more intense. A group of fans of the female stars who have never won are trying to push the right person to the top.
If Dili Rouba can get what she wants, it will be of great help to her career.
As for the male protagonist [Professor Du] in "My Love from the Star", it is Fanxing newcomer Anze.
In the past few years, An Ze has been working steadily and has become the most developed talent among the group of actors, and he became completely popular because of this drama.
Therefore, he is one of the four returning sons who have been in the limelight in the past two years, Lu Han, and Yang Yang, who became famous for "Left Ear", "Flower Bones" and "A Little Smile Is Alluring".
flow.
The four major traffic figures are the most outstanding male newcomers in the past two years. They don’t have many works, but they have one or two masterpieces. They are characterized by their high popularity and huge popularity in every move. Many first-line big names have to avoid being too sharp.
To put it bluntly, it is a variant of the Four Young Masters from earlier years, but its popularity and fans are even crazier.
The most popular of the four is Gui Guo Er Zi, who also has the most fans. Yang Yang has risen rapidly with his super good looks and has great potential to catch up. An Ze has the smallest traffic among the four, but he has the best reputation.
Being a group performer, he has a certain inspirational character, and his personality is calm and low-key. There is nothing wrong with him. Although he is in traffic, he is dedicated to filming.
Moreover, the professional level is good, and the acting skills are not outstanding, but compared with the other three major traffics, it is particularly outstanding, and it can even be said to be the only one in its class.
The most important thing is that Anze can develop steadily with the support of the big tree of stars.
Maybe it's not as colorful and hot as the other three traffics, but it moves at the steady pace and has the most stamina among them.
"My Love from the Star" made two rising stars famous, and also made the line "fried chicken and beer" popular in Asia.
However, in Cao Xuan's opinion, the best pairing with beer is barbecue. The screenwriter didn't know how to be lazy and still liked fried chicken. By mistake, he reached an agreement with the original version.
[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app and install the latest version. 】
Maybe it's because of this that it's more impressive. If beer goes with barbecue, everyone in China knows it, so it's not that surprising.
………
A few people were eating happily when the doorbell rang. The nanny went to the third floor to clean up, and Zhu Jiang went to open the door.
Cao Xuan was a little suspicious. Not many people knew about his visit. Why would someone come to his door? Zhang Chong didn't care much.
"Maybe Lao Zhu ordered takeout. Didn't he buy fried chicken just now?"
Cao Xuan nodded and was about to continue eating when he saw Zhu Jiang returning to the restaurant with a weird and tangled look on his face.
"boss……"
Cao Xuan was curious, Zhu Jiang had always been calm, and this kind of expression was rare, so he couldn't help but make a joke.
"What's wrong? Is it possible that the service staff from No. 558 Cheongnyangni came to sell you?"
No. 558 Cheongnyangni is a famous red light district in Seoul, South Korea. It is comparable to Kabuki Ichibancho in Tokyo in Asia. Even a foreigner like Cao Xuan has heard of it.
"I didn't expect Mr. Cao to be quite familiar with these places."
Before Zhu Jiang had time to speak, a cold female voice in English came from the corner behind him, and Cao Xuan looked over.
I saw a mature and intellectual beauty holding a delicate-looking little boy, looking at him with a cold face.
If someone else had described the dignified three-star princess as a service worker in Cheongnyangri, she would have been slapped a few times even if she didn't sink to the Han River to feed the fish...
"Cough cough cough...help me..."
Seeing these two people, Cao Xuan, who was completely unprepared, was stunned. Zhang Chong next to him almost got stuck on a chicken bone, holding his throat and struggling with a red face.
The initially tense and awkward atmosphere was broken, and everyone scrambled to save people first.
After Zhang Chong came back to life, the atmosphere fell into silence again. Cao Xuan was not in the mood to eat anymore and looked at Zhang Chong.
"Get the nanny away first."
"clear."
Zhang Chong nodded, and while Cao Xuan and others went to the study, he gave the nanny a holiday, and the rest were insiders.
In the study, several people sat down separately. Cao Xuan looked at the mother and son opposite him a little at a loss.
Li Fuzhen still looked indifferent. The little boy said nothing, but his eyes looked at Cao Xuan full of excitement, curiosity and a bit of admiration.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Xuancheng gradually calmed down and waved to Lao Zhu, who was standing at the door as a doorkeeper.
"You go out first."
Zhu Jiang hesitated, Cao Xuan smiled: "It's okay, you are still worried about my safety."
It's hard to tell. We've brought all the children with us. It's obvious that we're going to ask for help. What if we get into a quarrel and get you stabbed...
Although Zhu Jiang thought this way, he also knew that this was an inappropriate occasion for him, so he opened the door and walked out. Zhang Chong had been pacing back and forth at the door of the study, and when he saw this, he hurriedly came over.
"How about it?"
"What do you think, just kick me out."
Zhang Chong sighed, but couldn't help but worry: "Why did you suddenly come to the door? Our trip is quite confidential. Oh, please don't cause any conflict. His surname is Li, and he doesn't have many people. Don't let anyone give him a chance."
Went out."
"Didn't you say it yourself? My surname is Li. I can't do anything in Korea. As for other things, don't think about it."
Zhu Jiang looked at him like a fool: "If you really feel resentful, you can bring the child with you."
Zhang Chong also reacted, mainly because he was very frightened by today's incident. Seeing the eldest princess's menacing appearance, and it was her home field, he couldn't help but not think too much.
Now that I have come back to my senses, the worries in my heart have gone away a lot, but I can't help but start gossiping.
"This kid really looks like Brother Xuan. He is from the Cao family at first glance."
Zhu Jiang recalled it and nodded in agreement: "He does look like a boss."
Not only the two of them think so, Cao Xuan also thinks so.
He stared at the boy in front of him intently. Although he was a little confused, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
The child is indeed exquisite and beautiful, taking advantage of the advantages of his parents. He is even more beautiful than when he was a child.
Among Cao Xuan's other two children, Cao Li is also like this. He has the looks of him and the Empress of the West Palace. He uses his strengths to avoid weaknesses and excels in his talents.
Although Cao Yang, the youngest, is also handsome and fair, he has not inherited all the excellent genes from him and Empress Donggong, and is the "ugliest" among the three children.
While Cao Li and this child have similar looks, they are a little different at the same time. Cao Li is more like her mother, while this child's facial features are more similar to Cao Xuan.
"May I have your name?"
Although Cao Xuan knew about this child and had been silently paying attention to it, when he actually saw it, his voice still trembled slightly.
"My name is Li Junxian, also known as Cao Xian. My mother said that a virtuous person is a person with moral character and talent. She hopes that when I grow up, I can also have both moral character and talent."
The little boy's voice had not yet reached the stage of changing, but his voice was clear and loud. To Cao Xuan's surprise, the boy spoke Mandarin. Although it was still a little stiff, his words were clear.
"Good boy, good name."
Cao Xuan was relieved and happy. Although he had learned about some children's daily life and even their academic performance through various methods, he really didn't know that he knew Chinese. It was probably the eldest princess who specifically asked the teacher to teach him privately, and the outside world didn't know.
As if sensing Cao Xuan's closeness and friendliness, Cao Xian could no longer hold back his inner emotions, and asked with expectation and caution.
"You...are you really my father?"
Seeing the child's appearance, Cao Xuan felt very distressed and even despised himself. He ignored the child for more than ten years for his own selfish desires.
But I never thought that the child would dream back countless times at midnight, always missing and longing for his father, and never having a father to rely on and accompany him.
I really deserve to die!
Cao Xuan, who felt extremely guilty, pulled Cao Xian over and rubbed his eldest son's head. He wanted to say something to make amends and apologize, but he felt a little embarrassed and just nodded vigorously.
"Good son, I am your father."
Cao Xian hugged Cao Xuan's arm in surprise, looked at Li Fuzhen, and jumped up and down happily: "Mom, I found my father."
The eldest princess, who had always had a cold face, smiled at her son.
Things went more smoothly than she imagined. The two men admitted it even before they had time to take out the evidence in the bag.
However, this also made her vaguely guess that her confidentiality work may not be as good as she imagined...
