China Entertainment 1997

Cao Xuan’s concert was named [2007 ‘The Strongest on Earth’ Global Tour Concert].

This word comes from "One Punch Man" and was later used by Xiao Zhou as the theme of his concert. Cao Xuan thought it was very distinctive, so he borrowed it this time.

Well, this is not the first time that he has taken advantage of Xiao Zhou. They are all good brothers, so there is no need for outsiders...

[The Strongest on Earth] concerts are about the same length, about 2 to 3 hours each.

Most domestic tours officially start at 7:00 pm and end before 10:00 pm. Foreign tours will be adjusted according to local conditions, but they are roughly the same.

During previous concerts, Cao Xuan had a relaxed schedule, and it didn't matter if he sang for a while longer, just treat it as a gift. He even sang the last concert until the early hours of the morning, just to be happy.

However, the time limit for this concert was very tight, and Cao Xuan also had to conserve his energy and take care of his voice, so the concert was of the normal length, until the end.

Last night, each of the five guests sang 2 songs. Cao Xuan himself sang about 20 songs, several of which were choruses. With interactions and encores, the concert ended at nearly 9:45.

There was still a lot to see and the atmosphere was excellent. Many fans expressed satisfaction. The only regret was that the time was too short and it would have been better to add a few more hours.

After the last song was sung, with Cao Xuan and several guests bowing in greeting, the audience reluctantly left the stage.

Those who didn’t have any tasks to do later had to disband and rest on the spot, and those who had tasks didn’t have time to celebrate and went directly to Harbin. Cao Xuan and the core members took a private plane to take the first step.

When Cao Xuan went to Harbin to prepare for his second concert, the next day, news about the concert in Beijing was also active in major media.

"Cao Xuan's First Concert, Blue Lotus Blooms in Worker's Body"

"Liu Tianxian, Hu Jing, Zhang Jie and others are helping out, and the guest lineup is very luxurious"

"Often ridiculed, the king of jokes is actually Cao Xuan himself?" 》

"Singing and performing new songs, both elegant and popular, full of information"

"The whole audience sings, a sleepless night for 60,000 people"

"..."

Needless to say, Cao Xuan's current popularity has skyrocketed, not to mention that his exposure has skyrocketed due to the Spring Festival Gala "Where Has All the Time Gone", and he has very few concerts. Things are rare and valuable, so he has attracted more attention.

For many reasons, even if it is just a concert, the news about Cao Xuan is enough to make many first- and second-tier artists drool with envy.

This concert, as expected, caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Needless to say, countless Cao Xuan fans are envious of not being able to go to the venue. The biggest talking point is Cao Xuan’s new song - "Appreciation for both refined and popular tastes".

Although Cao Xuan's concert tour was not broadcast live in real time, several satellite TV and local stations purchased the broadcast. Later, a high-definition DVD album of the concert recorded by Fanxing and Warner was released online.

At the same time, several related TV entertainment information can also come to the scene for interviews and be approved to record a certain excerpt or get high-definition clips from Fanxing for promotion.

And almost all TV information programs show Cao Xuan singing "Elegant and Popular" in the concert clips.

Beijing Satellite TV, which obtained the rights to broadcast the concert, cut out a full version of "Elegant and Popular" as quickly as possible and played it on a loop.

Still saying this, the lyrics of this song are too straightforward, even a little bit spicy, and full of irony.

Especially last year, when the debate between elegance and vulgarity had not yet come to an end, it seemed like a slap in the face, slapping the faces of music critics and musicians who advocated "elegance in music". ring.

People who eat melon are crazy with joy!

It has to be a cultural insult. You don't use curse words when you curse. This move goes straight to your point of greeting.

Especially the line "Fearless in vulgarity, frivolous in elegance, not all of them are stinky" makes people marvel and enjoy themselves.

This is the truth. We are all ordinary people who have a lot of food, and no one is superior to the other.

You have your beauty, and I treat you as my lowly person. You don’t have to like it, or you don’t have to like it, but you don’t have to step on others to look superior.

nausea!

Most netizens are ordinary people, and they can't stand these so-called "elegant and vulgar distinctions."

I can't stand listening to Mozart, why don't you let us sing the Legend of the Phoenix?

Why!

Just because you don’t like it?

What Zhou Gong said proves everything: The people like to hear and see, but if you don’t like it, who do you think you are?

Of course, there is a saying, popular and vulgar are two different things, Phoenix Legend is fine, but "Eighteen Nas" can be listened to in private, but it still cannot be brought to the stage.

As soon as "Elegant and Popular Appreciation" came out, I don't know how many people broke their guard, but most people didn't have the ability to fight back.

There is no power in saying a few words dryly, unless you write such a fine song, but if you can write such a song, there is no need to worry about "elegance and vulgarity".

After all, who has ever seen singer-songwriters like Jay Chou do these things? The words are all put into the music.

But there was one person who was very energetic, the little black fat man from Deyun Society.

Last year, this guy had a hard time with the Qu Xie and produced a song called "I Want to Oppose Three Customs", which won the support of many people, so he became more and more enthusiastic. He regarded himself as a non-mainstream cross talk, and talked about anti three customs and Qu Xie every day.

After seeing Cao Xuan's new song "Elegant and Popular", this guy got excited, and he and Yu Jian started smacking together during the encore at a small theater.

"I just listened to a new song yesterday?"

"What song is it."

"Appreciate both refined and popular tastes."

"Good name."

"How about I call him the King of the World? His lyrics are so good."

"Teacher Cao is indeed a great talent.

"I've listened to this song many times, and there's a line in it that makes so much sense. It's a wise quote."

"What do you say, let's learn it."

"Listen, the son of a bitch who scolded Guo Degang is justified in beating him to death..."

"Alas, don't talk nonsense. People say, 'Whose story is nutritious, and it can be justified regardless of vulgarity or elegance.' Good guy, these are very good words. Don't change them blindly to vent your personal anger."

"Really? It's pretty much the same. They all mean the same thing."

"It's much worse. You've almost offended people in the cross talk circle. You should be more popular with those in the entertainment industry."

"No, Teacher Cao won't be angry?"

"That is how the matter?"

"Then I will say that this word was taught to me by Yu Jian."

"Oh, fuck you!"

The past two years can be regarded as the peak period of Xiao Hei Fatty's cross talk creation, especially the cross talk that can attack and ridicule the opponent, and his creative desire is even more overwhelming.

Just for Cao Xuan's song "Appreciation of Refined and Popular People", this guy made up several jokes to show off to those enemies.

For those who don’t know, I thought this song was written specifically for him by Cao Xuan...

………

Cao Xuan paid no attention to the turmoil after "Appreciating both Refined and Popular". After leaving the capital, he rushed to Harbin and Dao City and held another concert respectively.

Cao Xuan's concerts this year, not to mention foreign countries, generally have a small theme for each concert in China, which is basically related to the opening song or the highlight of the concert.

For example, the capital is "Blue Lotus", Harbin is "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", and the island city is "East Wind Breaks".

The venue and stage of the concert will be designed based on these theme songs to add glory to the concert.

That is to say, Cao Xuan has enough hits and high-quality songs, and ordinary singers may not really have so many songs as the theme of the finale.

After all, if you want to have a finale, there are requirements in terms of song quality and popularity. Ordinary singers must either lower the requirements for the finale song, or they have to repeat the theme.

There will be 3 concerts in three days, then a day off, and then we will go south to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, 1 concert in Huijing, 1 concert in Shanghai, and 1 concert in Hangzhou.

Then rest for another day, turn west, play 1 game in Wu City, Hubei Province, 1 game in Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, and 1 game in Chongqing City, and then go straight to Guangshi, Guangdong Province for the last game in the mainland.

The mainland is so big, and Cao Xuan's fans are spread all over the provinces and cities. Only opening 10 shows is a bit small, and it is bound to not satisfy everyone.

For example, fans from the northeastern provinces of Liaoning and Jilin are dissatisfied with only having one show in Harbin.

Some fans in Shandong Province also protested why the concert was not held in Quancheng, as there was no one in the provincial capital.

The most unhappy one is Jinmen. Three of the four municipalities are open. Why are they left behind? It’s because the pancakes don’t taste good, or because the men in Jinmen and the boundaries are not good.

People with the surname Cao don’t seem to be good at silver!

Fans from other regions such as Hebei Province, Qin Province, Yu Province, Hunan Province, and Hui Province also clearly denounced Cao.

Cao Xuan has no choice but to say that when he holds a concert next time, he will give priority to provinces and cities he has never been to.

Anyway, Cao Xuan doesn't particularly care about the income from the concert. If he holds a small-scale concert to give back to his fans, it doesn't have to be in a first-tier big city, and it's not impossible to do it by region.

Anyway, after the concerts in 10 cities in the mainland, Cao Xuan went overseas. The following are the last two stops in China, Taiwan Province and Xiangjiang.

In previous concerts in the mainland, Cao Xuan mostly invited mainland stars and star singers to come, which had a strong regional flavor.

For example, in the concert in Wu City, Hubei Province, Liu Tianxian helped out for the second time, as well as Yao Beina, who is also from Wu City. The concert in Magic City was dominated by artists from Magic City such as Hu Ge, Xue Zhiqian, and Ping An. There were also Zhang Jie and Zhang Liangying from Sichuan Province. , Qi Wei, Tan Weiwei, etc...

According to common sense, Cao Xuan will also invite some local singers in Xiangjiang and Taiwan Province to help out.

In the current Chinese music scene, apart from a few people such as Cao Xuan, the most popular singers are basically in Taiwan, while there are a bunch of established big names in Xiangjiang.

It’s quite interesting.

And Cao Xuan did not disappoint them. The Taiwanese performing guests were Xiao Zhou, Wang Wang, Sun Yanzi, Cai Yilin and SHE.

The two hottest male singers and the two hottest female singers, plus the hottest girl group.

And you should know that after Xiao Zhou and Cai Yilin were rumored to have broken up, they basically never shared the same stage except for unavoidable occasions such as award ceremonies.

It is estimated that in the entire Chinese music world, only Cao Xuan has the ability to bring the two of them together to attend the concert.

Xiao Zhou must show off to his eldest brother to save face.

Chen Zeshan, the man behind Cai Yilin, is an old man from Warner Bros., who has also worked with Cao Xuan. Considering Cao Xuan's status in the mainland entertainment industry, it is not difficult to understand why Cai should come over and sell it well.

Several other people also had this idea more or less, and even many Taiwanese singers who wanted to sell Cao Xuan had no chance.

For example, in Fahrenheit, the godmother of idol dramas has relied on many connections to get them into the concert of Cao Xuan, the king of the world, and show off their skills.

However, Cao Xuan looked at the business capabilities of several people and rejected them directly.

Just kidding, some countries will choose to broadcast his concerts, and there will be a lot of news. His recorded album will be released throughout Asia and even the world, and many fans will buy it and watch it.

It doesn't matter if you bring these "singing and dancing wizards" into the spotlight, it doesn't matter if they lose their own face, but if people abroad think that these are the outstanding singers in the Chinese music scene, that person will suffer a big loss.

Cao Xuan has worked very hard in the past few years and has finally managed to gain a voice in the Chinese music scene, so he should be more prudent.

The concert in Taiwan Province was very successful!

After all, many big names in the Chinese language are jointly present, and the card alone is enough to repay the money. It can be said that it is the most worthwhile concert among these domestic concerts.

Cao Xuan was also very satisfied. It happened to be the last two games in the country. His time was not too tight, and considering that the people who came today were voluntary helpers, he took out one night to host and treat everyone to dinner to express his gratitude.

"Brother Xuan, I'm sorry, I have another show, so I can't go with you."

Cao Xuan was inviting everyone to eat, and Cai Yilin took the initiative to excuse himself. He glanced at Xiao Zhou, who was expressionless, and Cao Xuan figured out what was going on.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry to trouble you today. Next time we come to the mainland, let's get together again if we have the chance."

Cai Yilin respected Cao Xuan very much. Regardless of achievements and status, when she and Xiao Zhou were in love, Cao Xuan was a good elder brother and was very kind to her. At that time, Cai Xuan encountered trouble when he went to the mainland. Cao Xuan also helped a little.

Therefore, although she broke up with Xiao Zhou and even turned against him, she was still very grateful to Cao Xuan.

This is one of the reasons why Cai Yilin is willing to help today. Otherwise, just for the sake of good sales, he can do it anytime.

If she had enough personal connections, she would come to help despite the embarrassment of sharing the stage with her ex-boyfriend.

Cao Xuan personally sent Cai Yilin away and apologized privately.

He was really careless this time. He just wanted to meet up and forgot about her and Xiao Zhou. They only found out about the other party later, but because of Cao Xuan's face, they still insisted on helping.

After Cao Xuan came back, he patted Xiao Zhou who was smiling slightly and invited everyone to eat together.

Fang Wenshan also came to join in the fun, and Xiao Zhou even brought a friend to introduce him to Cao Xuan.

Boss Cao took a look and knew Liu Genghong.

He has been in the entertainment industry for decades, acted in more than a dozen movies, and released several albums that were not popular. Finally, he became famous by taking his wife to do aerobics, so this is all fate.

This person has a really good relationship with Xiao Zhou, and they were friends in adversity in their early years. After Xiao Zhou became famous, he did not forget his good brother.

Liu Genghong had basically retired from the industry, but he acted in "Initial D", helped write lyrics and music, and released a new album "Rainbow Paradise", finally making a name for himself.

At the beginning of this year, Fanxing and Boss Wu jointly invested in "Slam Dunk", starring Xiao Zhou.

He came here today just to help his brother intercede in front of Cao Xuan and see if he could get a more important role.

Although Fanxing only has a 30% share in "Slam Dunk", Fanxing's status in the mainland entertainment industry is so high that if he helps Liu Genghong say a word, and Xiao Zhou plays the supporting role, the matter will most likely be decided.

Cao Xuan was very happy. Not to mention Xiao Zhou's face, the "Cao Xuan" of the original time and space was doing exercises with Liu Genghong. The other party was half of his teacher, so he could help with a little effort.

He asked about the cast list of "Slam Dunk". Needless to say, the male lead, Xiao Zhou, was pre-determined as the female lead, Fanxing. It was not yet decided whether it would be Liu Tianxian or Damimi.

As for other roles, there are really not many suitable for Liu Genghong. The roles are relatively heavy, and the ones that stand out are the two basketball teammates, the school boss and the captain, and the final villain player.

The Prince of Zhulian had already decided on a school girl, and Cao Xuan called Boss Wu and recommended Liu Genghong. As for which role he would get in the end, it all depended on Xiao Zhou's ability.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan."

Liu Genghong was very happy and thanked him repeatedly. He was actually three years older than Cao Xuan, but he still called him Xiao Zhou.

Cao Xuan was used to this and patted his chest. As expected, his pectoralis major muscles were very developed.

"I heard from Jie Lun that you love fitness. Let's spar together when we have time."

"no problem."

Liu Genghong nodded happily, and Cao Xuan did not forget to stab him: "Don't drink milk tea all the time. You see your face is a bit round. Come back and practice hard together."

When Xiao Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but touch his face and said in disbelief: "No way, I'm quite thin."

Liu Genghong couldn't help but smile, and followed up with the last strike: "Actually, compared to the previous two years, you are a bit stronger."

"We are all good brothers. I will train with Jie Lun when I go back to work. I am pretty good at aerobics. The songs are all ready-made, such as "Dragon Fist" and "Huo Yuanjia". The rhythm is fast and passionate."

Cao Xuan came up with an idea. Maybe because of his interference, Liu Genghong would realize the truth as soon as possible and become famous a few years in advance.

After having a meal and bidding farewell to Xiao Zhou, Cao Xuan rushed to Xiangjiang, where he performed his last concert in China at the Hong Kong Coliseum with his other younger brothers Chen Yixun, Liu Tianwang and several Xiangjiang singers.

On March 9, after resting and adjusting, Cao Xuan went abroad to Singapore and held the first overseas concert of "The Strongest on Earth" at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

This can also be regarded as a return visit to Cao Xuan's hometown. At the end of 2000, Cao Xuan held a concert here, proving his popularity in Asia and becoming the King of Asia.

After a few years, Cao Xuan came back to Singapore and he has become a top star in the world. The whole island was crazy about Cao Xuan's arrival.

All 22,000 tickets for the stadium were divided up, and many of Singapore's political and business leaders even came, including those who could be featured in "News Lianbo".

Only at this time can people discover the influence of Cao Xuan, Asia's number one king.

Especially in many small Asian countries, Cao Xuan himself can directly talk to the leaders. If he is willing to host some activities, the officials will contact him personally.

To a certain extent, in the eyes of some people in these small countries, the fact that a world-class superstar like Cao Xuan can come to their country to hold a concert proves their influence, and they even feel honored and proud of it.

After the concert, Cao Xuan himself was received by senior officials in Singapore. Cao Xuan also received general courtesy at subsequent concerts in Thailand and Malaysia.

After that, Cao Xuan came to Seoul, South Korea. Well, Cao Xuan still preferred the name Seoul.

Unfortunately, since Lee Myung-bak became mayor, he pushed for the city to be officially renamed Seoul in 2005. It even gained a lot of popularity and is expected to challenge the president.

However, Cao Xuan was not interested in South Korea's political situation. Although Roh Moo-hyun met him, he could not control the rise and fall of his country's president.

When Cao Xuan came to Korea, he held a concert in a down-to-earth manner. He also wanted to find out the truth about the eldest princess, so he even stayed at the Shilla Hotel specifically for this purpose.

Unexpectedly, the princess had long been on guard against his move. When she went abroad for inspection last week, Cao Xuan didn't stop anyone at all.

There was no other way, so Cao Xuan could only put this matter aside and concentrate on holding concerts. South Korea's KBS TV station paid a lot of money to win the live broadcast rights of Cao Xuan's two concerts in South Korea.

In China, Cao Xuan does not live broadcast concerts. On the one hand, domestic supervision of live broadcasts is relatively strict.

On the other hand, live broadcasting of a large-scale concert like this will greatly test the ability of the live broadcast team. Without a mature team, the live broadcast effect is average, and it is worse than waiting for the broadcast after editing.

However, South Korea's entertainment industry is developed and has considerable experience in live broadcasting of this kind of concerts, so it dared to undertake the live broadcast of Cao Xuan's concert.

After examining the strength of KBS TV station, Cao Xuan and his team also believed that the other party could perform a better real-time live broadcast, so they agreed to the other party's live broadcast.

This is the first live broadcast of Cao Xuan’s [Strongest on Earth] concert. There may be a collaboration with Japan later. As for other concerts, they will still be normal concerts.

On March 16, Cao Xuan held South Korea's first concert at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Nearly 80,000 spectators came to the scene, and the entire stadium was packed with seats. The Korean host on the broadcast kept exclaiming about Cao Xuan's influence in South Korea.

In South Korea, Cao Xuan's songs are still mainly English songs, and the opening is the explosive rock song-"Natural"

"...

Natural

Born this way

A beating heart of stone

A heartbeat as strong as a rock

You gotta be so cold

You have to learn to be cold and hard

To make it in this world

Find your place in this world

…”

When Cao Xuan, wearing a studded leather jacket, roared on the stage, the charm of rock and roll swept the entire venue.

The entire Seoul World Cup Stadium was constantly blooming with gorgeous flames and fireworks. The entire stadium exploded in the air like a ball of flames, which immediately ignited the passion of all the spectators at the scene.

There is a saying that the domestic fireworks regulations are still relatively strict, but it is better here in Seoul, and the scenes are more grand and exciting.

Seoul, a private villa

On the huge LCD TV, Cao Xuan sang passionately on the stage. Tens of thousands of fans in the audience were mesmerized and followed him wildly with the light sticks in their hands. The scene was very shocking.

In front of the TV, a little baby over two years old was watching the TV in fascination. His immature body swayed to the melody from time to time. An intellectual and elegant woman took him into her arms and pointed at Cao Xuan on the TV.

"Do you know who this is?"

The little boy, who was young but had handsome features, shook his head. The woman curled her lips and read out two words in Chinese: "Dad?"

"Daddy?"

The little baby, who couldn't understand Chinese at all, was dumbfounded. The woman explained in Korean: "Daddy is Apoji (dad)."

This time the little baby understood. He ran in front of the TV with his short legs, clapped his hands and shouted to Cao Xuan in Korean and Chinese daddy.

At the Seoul World Cup Stadium, Cao Xuan, who had just let Zhang Jie take over and returned to the backstage to rest, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Which bastard is talking about me behind my back..."
