China Entertainment 1997

"Ah sneeze!"

Cao Xuan couldn't help but sneeze and wondered who was thinking about him, the East and West Palaces? Or the three-star princess?

Isn't it the Japanese little queen Ayumi Hamasaki?

This is really a bit uncertain. Today, the Oricon rankings for last week were announced. Not only did the domestic media explode, but Japan also caused a sensation.

How should I put it? At this stage, the Japanese people still have a very high profile in entertainment. They are still a little dissatisfied with Europe and the United States, and they are even more inferior in Asia.

South Korea's entertainment industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but the Japanese have not taken it seriously, and China has barely looked up to it.

Moreover, Hong Kong films only competed in the golden period of Hong Kong films, but the music aspect has not yet reached the point where Japan can admire it.

Therefore, the Japanese music scene is simply crazy in Asia, and no one except European and American singers accepts it.

For singers like Cao Xuan and Li Zhenxian who are very popular in China and South Korea, they just think they are good and qualified to compete in the Japanese market.

But they never expected that Cao Xuan, a singer they just barely liked, would give them a hard slap in the face less than 10 days after arriving in Japan.

Don't say that Cao Xuan doesn't respect martial ethics, what a silent sneak attack.

Don't say that Cao Xuan is suspected of taking advantage of his compatriots.

Not to mention what kind of publicity campaign Cao Xuan is engaged in to rush to the rankings.

The data is clear, the procedures are all correct, Cao Xuan did not engage in underhanded tactics, and the resources he used were within a reasonable range, then his Oricon Weekly Champion is a serious matter and cannot be questioned.

Cao Xuan made a sneak attack, Cao Xuan had Chinese support, and Cao Xuan launched a publicity offensive, but he is also a non-Japanese artist, playing away games, and using a non-Japanese album.

The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are even more obvious!

Therefore, many Japanese fans were angry and questioned during the review. As a result, the more they questioned, the more they discovered that it was really awesome that Cao Xuan was able to win the Oricon No. 1 title in such a difficult situation.

Courage, strength, and luck are all indispensable.

Even many rational Japanese fans are embarrassed to target Cao Xuan and feel that he is being wronged.

However, the title of Japan's Oricon Chart was unexpectedly won by a Chinese. Someone has to take the blame for this matter.

Then Ayumi Hamasaki fell into the trap...

If Hamasaki fights cautiously, Cao Xuan's chance of success is very low, so Hamasaki underestimates the enemy and gives Cao Xuan an opportunity.

So Hamasaki Ayumi succeeded in eating the melon, and he and Cao Xuan became the center of this incident. They were targeted in various ways, and the words were so fierce and vicious that even an outsider like Cao Xuan could not stand it.

After all, she is just a girl in her twenties.

Any words of caution in advance are only hindsight. Three days ago, there were probably no more than 100 people who thought Cao Xuan could counterattack and win the Oricon ranking.

Now everyone is dealing with hindsight, and their faces are really ugly.

Cao Xuan also said in a follow-up interview that the public opinion environment was too harsh on Hamasaki. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. There is no need to take this matter too extreme.

But Cao Xuan is a foreigner after all, and he is also a party to the profit. How effective his words are in relieving Hamasaki Ayumi is a matter of opinion.

But no matter what happens to Ayumi Hamasaki, Cao Xuan, the Chinese king who won the Japanese Oricon ranking, is completely out of the circle in Japan.

There are Japanese Oricon champions every week, and many champions may not be well-known.

But Cao Xuan is different. A Chinese has won the first place on the Japanese Oricon Chart with a Chinese-language album. This is an unprecedented first time, and it can be called a legendary event that can be recorded in the history of the Oricon Chart.

Because of the legendary nature of this incident, major media and related online forums have conducted hot-spot tracking on it.

There were objective reports, some praising, some insulting, some hostile and friendly supporting. Many people expressed their opinions on this matter, and the matter became more and more popular.

At first, it was only around the Japanese music scene, but soon spread to the entire Japanese entertainment industry, and then the entire Japanese society.

Even many Japanese who don’t pay attention to entertainment news at all know that there is a Chinese singer who has achieved outstanding results in Japan.

Cao Xuan became a celebrity in Japan, and various invitations came one after another.

This is a rare opportunity to spread and consolidate popularity in Japan. After coordination, Cao Xuan stayed in Japan for a few more days and participated in several resources that are difficult for popular Japanese artists to obtain.

If time had not been limited and Cao Xuan had stayed in Japan for another two months, his popularity would have been comparable to that of Japan's top singers.

Cao Xuan's career is not limited to Japan. As one of the few Asian singers to successfully land in the Japanese market, his story of winning the first place on the Oricon Chart has been reported by many Asian countries and even some European and American media.

Especially in South Korea, which Cao Xuan had just left, Cao Xuan achieved achievements that he had not achieved during the promotion in South Korea and made the front page headlines.

But this is probably because the Koreans are gloating. The Chinese stepped on the Japanese heads to win the championship, and the Koreans must be happy.

Cao Xuan never dreamed that he would win the Oricon No. 1 in Japan and gain a bunch of Korean fans by the way.

However, no matter how popular this matter is in Japan and Asia, it cannot be compared to Cao Xuan's base camp, China.

It may be too much to say that Cao Xuan is a national hero, but singing, dancing and celebrating warmly is definitely not an exaggeration.

Cao Xuan has been destroying the charts in China for several years, knocking out countless popular singers, but there are still people who are dissatisfied with him. However, this time he won the Japanese Oricon Chart, and many fans of his sworn enemies gave him a thumbs up.

Some people here think that Japanese Oricon lists are highly valuable, and there is a certain mentality that foreign lists are more popular.

But more emotions came from the fact that Cao Xuan pressed the Japanese who had a good life on the ground and rubbed them, which made everyone feel comfortable.

An expert in civil war!

Foreign war is even better!

The major media even praised Cao Xuan to the heavens, and frantically told readers how great the Japanese Oricon list was, and how difficult it was for Cao Xuan to win the championship.

Some people understand the value of Cao Xuan's achievement, while some people still don't understand what Oricon is. Anyway, they only know one thing -

King Cao is awesome!

Previously, Cao Xuan's Asian King was still criticized by some people for saying that he dared to be called Asia even though few people outside of the Chinese-speaking area knew him.

But now that Cao Xuan has "conquered" the largest Japanese market in Asia, his title as the King of Asia is genuine. Except for Teresa Teng, few Chinese singers dare to challenge his influence in Asia.

In the past, Cao Xuan was the strongest Chinese singer of the new generation, but in the hearts of many people, his status was still weaker than that of the established superstars.

But now Cao Xuan has proven himself in the Asian market, and his status in the Chinese music scene has instantly reached a new level, and he can basically be ranked alongside the old top superstars.

The next step Cao Xuan needs to do is to enter the European and American markets.

If he can achieve excellent results in the European and American markets and accomplish what all Chinese singers have failed to achieve, then he is likely to become the No. 1 singer in the history of the Chinese music scene.

………

On January 26, Cao Xuan left Japan and headed to Bangkok, Thailand for the last leg of his Asia trip.

As a Southeast Asian country, Thailand is still greatly influenced by China. Cao Xuan's reputation here is not inferior to that of Japan and South Korea. He was even introduced to Thailand because of "The Swordsman", and Cao Xuan still has many fans here.

When he was attending an event in Thailand, he heard someone calling him Linghu Chong.

As a country where Asian superstars rarely visit, Thailand's reception of Cao Xuan was very grand and the government came directly. It is said that it was based on the general treatment of foreign leaders.

Cao Xuan himself was personally received by Thaksin Shinawatra, the then Prime Minister of Thailand. The other party welcomed Cao Xuan's arrival and said that his whole family were Cao Xuan's fans.

Of course, just listen to this. Cao Xuan even suspected that the Thai Prime Minister could not even name the title of one of his songs.

Cao Xuan didn't remember many foreign leaders, especially from such a small country, but he still knew Thaksin quite well.

He was once the owner of Manchester City Club, and he later sold the team to the Oil Guys. Moreover, this guy later fled overseas for committing crimes and made a lot of international news.

However, the most impressive thing about Thaksin is his sister Yingluck Shinawatra, who is known as the most beautiful Thai female prime minister and the most beautiful among female heads of state.

Thaksin, Yingluck Shinawatra, and Yingluck Shinawatra's husband Somchai, who was in power for a short time, have three prime ministers in one family, and they can be called the Kennedys of Thailand.

However, Cao Xuan was received at the Prime Minister's Office of Thailand and did not see Yingluck. It has to be said that it is a small regret.

Thaksin is also the first foreign head of state that Cao Xuan has seen and contacted with his own eyes so far. I wonder if he will be included in CCTV's political news.

This also means that Cao Xuan's influence is expanding. At this stage, when he goes to some small countries, if it is a relatively high-profile public event, there is a certain chance that he will be received by senior leaders.

Especially in Southeast Asia, many heads of state have the habit of meeting foreign celebrities, which is also a good way for them to publicize and increase their presence.

After being received by the Prime Minister of Thailand, the arrangement was arranged, but the high standard also meant that there was less freedom.

Cao Xuan's original plan was to dress up and go to Thailand's red light district after the event. It wasn't because he wanted to do something, but mainly because he wanted to see this place known as a man's paradise and take a look at the transvestites.

When he was in Japan, he visited Shinjuku Kabukicho, the most famous red light district in Tokyo, and personally witnessed Japan's world-famous custom service industry, which was an eye-opener.

However, because he was a public figure, Cao Xuan stopped at a brief taste and walked around to gain some knowledge.

But this time someone was watching, so Cao Xuan had no choice but to give up. However, before leaving Thailand, Cao Xuan still saw a real shemale.

It felt quite novel. He had seen both men and women, and this was the first time that he was neither a man nor a woman. He couldn't help but sigh at the advancement of medicine and the diversity of the world.

On January 29, after more than half a month, Cao Xuan finally ended his trip to Asia and returned to China.

The moment he got off the plane and landed in the capital, Cao Xuan took a deep breath.

"The air at home is still sweet and feels comfortable..."
