China Entertainment 1997

As mentioned before, songs that can reach the top 50 of the Billboard are basically quite popular songs in the American music scene.

Ordinary newcomers can establish themselves in the music scene if they have one song, and can make a steady living in the industry.

Cao Xuan has three songs, and more importantly, this song has strong momentum.

In just one week, it went from the 60th to 70th place to the 40th to 50th place, and the average ranking of the three songs rose by nearly 20 places.

It seems that the increase is not much different from the previous week, but going from the bottom of the list to the lower middle and going from the lower middle to the middle are two completely different concepts, and the difficulty increases exponentially.

Nowadays, even many professional organizations no longer dare to judge the trend of "Chris Tsao".

This is obviously one of the few songs that has the potential to become a phenomenon. It cannot be judged by common sense. If you make a wrong judgment, you will be slapped in the face. Everyone is waiting. When the speed of the three songs slows down, they can slowly deduce the conclusion.

And because of its rocket-like rise in the past two weeks, "Chris Tsao" has completely gone out of the American music scene.

Chris Cao also became famous, and many music media and music critics began to discuss this singer-songwriter from China.

The song is three songs that are in the top 50 or above on the Billboard. If Cao Xuan was a native white American, he would probably have been labeled as the Little King of American Creation by the new generation of Americans.

However, even if they are treated with caution because of the Chinese, the American media cannot completely turn a blind eye to Cao Xuan's achievements and talents.

The more conservative media briefly mentioned it or even ignored it completely, but the more open media began to report extensively on Cao Xuan and began to dig deeper.

The number one person in the Chinese music scene, the king of Asia, the dominant singer in China, the champion of Japan's Oricon Chart, the first Chinese singer to successfully rank in the top 50 of the Billboard...

The Los Angeles Times used metaphors that Americans can understand to tell them Cao Xuan's status in the Chinese music scene.

The Michael Jackson of Chinese pop music!

Even if you are as arrogant as an American, you cannot belittle a singer who has an influence of hundreds of millions of people, is a top superstar on a continent, and has successfully achieved good results in the United States. Doing so will only make you appear ignorant and stupid.

Thanks to a large number of reports and popular science, the impression of Chris Cao in the minds of many fans is that he is no longer an unfamiliar newcomer to the music scene, but a Chinese king who has come to enter the international music scene.

In fact, Cao Xuan, the Asian King, has been promoting it before, but Americans don't recognize it.

The reason why Americans recognize him now is because Cao Xuan put his name on the bulletin board.

Americans don't want to admit that unknown Chinese people can achieve such good results in the American music scene, so they recognize Cao Xuan's status as the Asian King, because only if such top Asian superstars succeed in the American music scene, they will not feel that Shame on you.

It’s not okay to lose to ordinary Chinese!

It’s okay to lose to the Asian King!

This is actually very ironic, and it also allows Cao Xuan to further see the arrogance and hypocrisy of Americans.

However, "restoring" the status of the Asian King has indeed gained Cao Xuan a lot of exposure and resources.

The most important of which is the opportunity to perform at the Los Angeles Music Festival.

American pop music is very popular, and music festivals of various sizes are held every year, with attendance ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands.

The most influential music festivals in the United States are Coachella Music Festival and Woodstock Music Festival.

However, Coachella has only been held twice so far, and it will not be fully famous until next year.

Today's Coachella Music Festival is well-known in the United States, but it is not top-notch, while Woodstow is very famous, but it has not been held for several years.

The Los Angeles Music Festival that invited Cao Xuan was organized by the Los Angeles city government and several associations. This year was the first one. It is said that many bands and singers were invited.

The most popular among the guests is Britney, and Eminem is also coming. These two can be said to be some of the most popular singers in the American music scene today.

Apart from these two, there are five or six other top-tier singers, which shows how much money the organizers spent.

However, when he actually came to the scene, Cao Xuan realized why this Los Angeles music festival was not well-known.

Damn it, this is a trap!

Britney Spears, who the organizer had been playing for a long time, didn't come at all, and Eminem was nowhere to be seen. Many of the bands were independent or underground bands.

Let's put it this way, Cao Xuan, a Chinese singer who has only been in the United States for just a month, is well-known backstage.

Cao Xuan was embarrassed for the organizer, but he had one thing to say. Although there were no popular stars, the music festival was still quite large, with nearly 50,000 spectators. Cao Xuan could hear thunderous noises in the background.

But most of them are just scolding!

Most of these people went there for those celebrities. Only when they arrived at the scene did they realize that they had been deceived. It would be strange not to scold them.

The singers and bands backstage were a little nervous. The singers in these bands were not very popular, so the big scenes were limited. A venue of 50,000 people was already stressful, let alone the current scene.

Cao Xuan was very calm. He was Chinese, had few acquaintances, and was feeling marginalized. He simply changed into his performance clothes and sat in the corner reading gossip newspapers.

Cameron has a secret meeting with a model, DiCaprio changes his girlfriend again, Madonna quarrels with her husband, and a well-known real estate developer wants to enter politics, jumping between the elephant and donkey parties.

The real estate businessman was preparing to run for president in 2000, but later withdrew from the race because he was "afraid of catching a cold by shaking hands with too many people."

The strength of Zhenghuo has remained stable for decades!

These American editors were bigger than the media in Hong Kong, and they dared to say anything. Cao Xuan was very happy to see it.

Cao Xuan was engrossed in watching this when someone patted him on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a pretty brown-haired girl with smoky makeup.

"Hi, are you Chris Cho?"

Cao Xuan looked up and saw that she looked familiar, but before she could remember, the girl with smoky makeup took the initiative to introduce herself.

"I'm Avril Lavigne and I've heard your song, and that song 'Natural' is cool."

"Thanks!"

Cao Xuan knew who this was, the little witch Avril Lavigne, the future top diva in the United States. At the peak of her popularity, she was no less popular than Taylor Swift in future generations. She was so popular that she could almost be compared with Britney.

It’s no wonder that Cao Xuan didn’t recognize her for a while. Avril Lavigne later retired from time to time due to illness, and her popularity dropped significantly. There wasn’t much relevant domestic news, so she was naturally ignored.

In addition, Avril Lavigne's appearance at this time is a bit different from that later. To put it simply, Avril Lavigne is only 18 years old at this stage, full of youthful energy, cheerful and agile.

In later generations, Ivy was more mature and a little haggard due to fighting the disease.

What's more important is that Cao Xuan is actually somewhat face-blind towards foreigners. Those he is familiar with are fine, but those he is unfamiliar with are forgotten.

Cao Xuan can definitely recognize Scarlett, Anne Hathaway, Gal Gadot, Jessica Alba and other top Hollywood beauties at a glance.

But singers like Avril Lavigne... it's definitely not that they have low looks, it's that Cao Xuan is "ignorant and ignorant".

If it weren't for Avril Lavigne's distinctive smoky makeup, Cao Xuan might not even look familiar.

This girl is quite familiar with her. She pestered Cao Xuan to chat, mainly because no one else paid attention to her.

If it were normal, there might be some old perverts coming to seduce the little girl, but now they are so nervous that they can't think of anything. Cao Xuan is the calmest one in the whole backstage.

Avril couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere, so she took the initiative to chat with Cao Xuan to relieve her psychological pressure.

Avril is currently preparing her first album. Although she has not officially debuted yet, she has begun to participate in some performances one after another to accumulate performance experience and test the response of some new songs.

Copyright management in the United States is strict. If Avril Lavigne dares to sing, the copyright must be registered, and she is not afraid of someone taking advantage of her.

There are many singers who act like her. Newcomers try their best to show their faces.

The Los Angeles Music Festival is not small in scale, so it may not be a big deal to those superstars, but it is still a very good opportunity for newcomers or singers who are not particularly famous.

"Aren't you nervous? There are 50,000 people outside."

Avril looked at the calm Cao Xuan with some confusion. She just went out and took a sneak peek at the scene. The densely packed heads made her still a little bit overwhelmed. As a result, Cao Xuan seemed not to feel anything.

Cao Xuan put down the magazine, picked up his cup and took a sip of specially heated warm water, Feng Danyun said lightly.

"If you have held a single concert with 100,000 people, and have sung in a program with hundreds of millions of viewers for four consecutive years, all this is now a small case for you."

Avril: “…”

Other singers heard nearby: "..."

Hey, 911, this Chinese is showing off, bring more heavy weapons, he's too arrogant, kill him suddenly.

Her throat twitched, Avril's eyes widened, and she stammered.

"You...have you really attended a concert with 100,000 people?"

The other singers remained silent and pricked up their ears. Cao Xuan got the pleasure of Versailles and corrected him reservedly.

"It's not about participating, it's about holding a solo concert for 100,000 people. I also held a concert for 80,000 people.

The show that I'm talking about with hundreds of millions of viewers is called the Spring Festival Gala. Its influence is equivalent to that of a super star in your country, and it may even be greater. It is directly targeted at Chinese people all over the world, and probably hundreds of millions of people watch it at the same time. "

"FXXX!"

The white lead singer of a rock band cursed. He didn't know whether he was scolding Cao Xuan for being too pretentious or scolding the organizer for being awesome for inviting such a fierce person.

"Hundreds of millions of people, so cool!"

Avril's face was full of excitement, and she looked at Cao Xuan with admiration.

She is Canadian. In 2002, Canada's population was just over 30 million, compared with 288 million in the United States and about 100 million in Mexico.

In her opinion, the Spring Festival Gala that Cao Xuan was talking about was equivalent to most of North America coming together to listen to Cao Xuan singing. Even Michael Jackson might not have such an arrangement.

Cao Xuan suddenly became the focus of the entire music festival backstage.

It's as if the Bronze Bureau has met the strongest king. No matter whether everyone is convinced or not, his rank is here. If he provokes him forcefully, he will bring humiliation to himself.

Looking at the glances around him that were either overt or covert, either jealous or curious, Cao Xuan leisurely crossed his legs and told the interesting story of his cooperation with Britney Spears in the Pepsi commercial with his newly acquired fan girl Avril Lavigne.

Huh, squeeze him out and make you mad...
