China Entertainment 1997

Taking advantage of the momentum of the Olympic Games, "Hall of Fame" became incredibly popular, not only in China but also in China.

In the United States, thanks to the collaboration between two superstars, Cao Xuan and Eminem, it successfully landed on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, initially ranking at No. 14.

In the past two years, Cao Xuan has been a star on "Legend" in the United States and has held global concerts. Needless to say, he is very popular at the time, and Eminem is no less popular.

Even because he is an American star, his popularity in the United States is more solid than Cao Xuan.

If it weren't for the fact that the two had been close friends for a long time because of their musical talents, and often praised each other in the media and business, the relationship was pretty good, and coupled with the factor of supporting the Olympics, otherwise Cao Xuan might not have been able to invite this person to him as his wife. green leaves.

It cannot be said to be Green Leaf. Although the song "Hall of Fame" features Cao Xuan as the main character, Eminem still plays a large part. A more appropriate term should be that it is a duet between the two.

The popularity of "Hall of Fame" also made Eminem quickly become famous in China.

Even though Eminem is also known as a world superstar, because he developed more in the United States, and rap songs are extremely niche in China, his reputation in China is really average, not even as good as some first- and second-tier artists who are more inclined to develop in Asia. European and American singer.

Unless you like rap songs or have knowledge of the European and American entertainment circles, you don’t know the word Eminem at all.

Even the information about this person on the Chinese Internet was not detailed before, but after cooperating with Cao Xuan, the relevant information and information increased several times.

This is not a rare thing. As long as foreign stars can have a relationship or have a good friendship with Cao Xuan, they will naturally be exposed by domestic media and their popularity in the country will also increase.

The better the relationship, the more press, and the greater the visibility.

For example, Avril Lavigne, in the United States, it is not clear whether she can compete with Britney and Beyoncé, but in China, her popularity is definitely the only one among European and American stars.

Even many people who don't particularly care about the entertainment industry know that Cao Xuan has a very popular "gossister" in the United States.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Avril's name is easy to remember, her nickname "Little Witch" is also quite interesting, and she also has a distinctive characteristic of her special love for smoky eyes...

If it were really a name like Antigone Raphael or Genisis Padgett, it would be really difficult for ordinary people in China to remember it, and foreign names are often repetitive.

Therefore, fans in the European and American circles love to give nicknames to European and American celebrities. It is really difficult to remember the names and it is easy to repeat them. Nicknames are convenient and easy to distinguish.

Although Eminem did not directly go out on a large scale, he still left an impression on many people, and his reputation as "Eminem" skyrocketed in the country.

Even those who are not familiar with it can sing along as long as they mention Cao Xuan

The white street kid in "Hall of Fame/Hall of Fame" can also have a general impression.

On August 25, Monday, the QQ Star Hot Songs weekly list will be updated.

"Hall of Fame" unsurprisingly added a small crown symbolizing the championship next to the homepage, and became the QQ Star Hot Song Chart's reorganized and launched weekly chart. A few months later, it became the seventh single to win the championship.

On the same day, "Hall of Fame" also topped the QQ Star New Songs Chart and Hot Songs Daily Chart.

"Hall of Fame" also became the third song to top three charts at the same time on the QQ Star Music website.

However, for Cao Xuan, this is hardly news. On the contrary, if he does not win the [three championships], it will make the media interested.

Different from the calmness of the domestic charts, the popularity of "Hall of Fame" abroad has still attracted a lot of attention.

Especially this song is to promote the Beijing Olympics. To a certain extent, the more popular the song is, the greater the influence of the Beijing Olympics. Everyone likes to hear these news.

And Cao Xuan and "Hall of Fame" also lived up to the expectations of the outside world.

After two years, Cao Xuan once again released an English song, which has already attracted much attention, not to mention the popularity of the Olympics.

In fact, before "Hall of Fame", the English version of "My Dream" had already entered the Billboard singles chart, peaking in the top ten.

However, it did not win the championship, and it is unclear whether there was political suppression. However, the song was indeed quite popular, even more popular than "Hall of Fame" in the world.

The melodious and soulful singing, inspirational and touching lyrics, and the aura of the Beijing Olympics theme song made it once the most requested song in various countries. It performed well on music charts in various countries and was hailed as a dream work.

It has also attracted a lot of discussion as to whether this song is one of the most classic theme songs of all previous Olympic Games.

In comparison, "Hall of Fame" may be slightly less influential and less popular than "My Dream", but the names of the two superstars are no joke, especially in the United States, where they have gained greater popularity. success.

On Tuesday, August 26, the new issue of the Billboard singles chart was released, and "Hall of Fame" successfully topped the list.

This is Cao Xuan's eighth Billboard No. 1 single in his career, and Eminem's second Billboard No. 1 single.

Even though Eminem is an American rap superstar, he is an album-oriented singer, or it could be said that the team's public relations ability for the list is insufficient.

It is common for albums to top the album chart based on sales volume, but as of 2008, the singles chart has only won the top spot on the Billboard singles chart once, but there have been several songs that have hovered in the 2nd to 3rd places many times.

This situation of being the second best player in a thousand years may be an accident once or twice. If you fail to get it many times, it is unless you have extremely bad luck, the team is not strong enough, or the bulletin board suppresses it.

Billboard and Eminem have a good relationship, and they are given a lot of honors. There should be no conflict. The big pot is still a team.

Even in 2022, Eminem has only won 6 Billboard No. 1 singles, including a collaboration with Billboard's daughter Rihanna.

Now he is collaborating with Cao Xuan. The collaboration between two superstars and the halo of the Olympics have resulted in another championship single.

He originally wanted to help, but he hugged his thigh for no apparent reason. Eminem also called Cao Xuan specifically to express his thanks.

Many European and American celebrities also watched with envy. Last time Avril Lavigne and Cao Xuan almost won the championship when they collaborated, but this time Eminem and Cao Xuan collaborated and won directly.

Who doesn’t want a Billboard No. 1 single? Having one more is a good honor. With this good example, if Cao Xuan wants to collaborate with other European and American singers in the future, everyone will rush to do it, and their enthusiasm will be greatly increased.

However, it is a pity that "Hall of Fame" only stayed at the top of the list for 2 weeks due to the popularity of the Beijing Olympics. After the popularity declined after the Olympics, it fell down.

But even so, Cao Xuan has been on the Billboard Hot 100 for 31 weeks, which is a terrifying record for American singers, not to mention in Asia.

In addition, "Hall of Fame" has also achieved a lot in other countries. It has topped the music charts in the United Kingdom and Australia.

After discussing with Eminem, Cao Xuan announced that he would donate all proceeds from "Hall of Fame" in their names to support the reconstruction of disaster areas and Olympic-related charities.

In fact, Cao Xuan did not need to seek Eminem's permission. Although the song was sung by two people, the creative rights and copyright belong to him.

Cao Xuan had already given the performance fee to Eminem, and it was up to him whether to donate it or not. However, out of respect, he discussed it with Eminem and added his name.

When Eminem saw this, he saw that Lao Cao was a very particular person and he couldn't lose his place.

He directly took out all the fees paid by Cao Xuan to invite him to sing and donated it together with the proceeds of "Hall of Fame". If it was a bit far-fetched to say that the two signed it before, it is indeed justified now.

Eminem's actions have won a lot of praise overseas and domestically, and Cao Xuan also has a good impression of him.

If they were just ordinary friends who admired each other, after this incident, they became a bit more like friends.

Eminem told the media that Cao Xuan is one of the best musicians he has ever seen, and his musical achievements are incredible and great.

Cao Xuan said that Eminem is a fierce-looking person with a kind heart. He is his personal favorite rapper and he is a fan of Eminem.

The two boasted about each other's business in the media and on the Internet, throwing rainbow farts for free, and even Avril Lavigne and Cao Xuan's apprentice Taylor were a little jealous.

I'm obviously the singer with whom Cao/Teacher has the best relationship, so how come this guy suddenly shows up, and he's a guy...

………

On August 24, the Beijing Olympic Games held a closing ceremony and announced the official end of the Beijing Olympic Games.

The Chinese delegation won the gold medal list with 51 golds, 21 silvers and 28 bronzes, creating the best result in the history of China's participation in the Olympic Games.

At the closing ceremony, Cao Xuan once again took the stage to sing "Forever Friends" solo to express friendship and farewell to the departing delegations.

Cao Xuan also became the only singer in China to sing solo at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

Afterwards, Cao Xuanye, the director team of Lao Mouzi, and volunteer representatives, as the heroes behind the Olympics, were personally received by the leaders and presented with relevant certificates and medals.

In particular, Lao Mouzi and Cao Xuan received individual praises from the leaders.

In this Olympic Games, the performance of the two people definitely added glory to the Olympic Games. To a certain extent, their contribution was no worse than those of the Olympic athletes who won gold and silver medals for the country on the field. They were even stronger in terms of publicity and influence.

After coming out of the synagogue, Cao Xuan signed autographs and took photos with several volunteers, and then caught up with Lao Mouzi.

"How does it feel when the Olympics are over and the burden is lifted off your shoulders?"

"Bright all over."

Lao Mouzi worked with Cao Xuan many times during this period, and the relationship became familiar, so he told the truth.

During the opening and closing ceremonies of this Olympic Games, Lao Mouzi was definitely one of the people under the greatest pressure.

At most, Cao Xuan was nervous about his own show, but he was nervous about the entire party, and Cao Xuan knew the song feedback and party performance well, while Lao Mouzi was crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the pressure he endured in his heart was not something that ordinary people would have experienced before. collapsed.

Now that the Olympic Games are over, the task cannot be said to have been successfully completed, but at least all parties are satisfied, and Lao Mouzi feels comfortable all over.

"Come on, I'll treat Director Zhang and a few of them to a drink to celebrate."

Boss Cao was bleeding out of habit, but he was stopped by Lao Mouzi: "If you want to ask me to do it in the future, I won't stop you. This time I have to do it both in public and private matters."

"Okay."

Cao Xuan didn't argue with him. Lao Mouzi found a private club and invited many of the Olympic directing team's heroes to celebrate his achievements and have a break-up meal.

The task was completed, it was a happy event, and everyone had a good time drinking. Even Cao Xuan broke his precept to save face, and toasted to everyone many times.

After drinking and eating, some people chose World War II, some went home, and some went to other activities.

Cao Xuan and a few married men were too slutty to go, so they simply made an appointment to take a bath and massage to relieve their fatigue.

As soon as his clothes were taken off, Cao Daguan's strong, smooth muscles made these middle-aged and elderly men feel inferior. Looking further down, they became even more inferior.

Lao Mouzi also glanced at it several times, admiring it without losing regret and saying: "This figure is really good. It would be a pity not to have a sex scene in "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff"."

"You think of me as a butcher?"

Cao Xuan couldn't laugh or cry. He works out for good health. At the same time, the filming scenes fit the character's character. It doesn't mean that he wants to sell sex.

In the early years, in order to stand out, he seized all the factors to become popular, and then he deliberately showed off his face. Now that he has gotten to this point, and relies on his face and body, then Cao Xuan has spent all these years in vain.

Not to mention the naked body in the movie, several fashion magazines almost knelt down at Cao Xuan’s door and begged him to shoot their covers, but Cao Xuan didn’t tolerate them.

He doesn't dislike selling his face, and there is no need to resent the money given by his parents, but at this point, he doesn't need to go out of his way to pursue and market handsome boys.

For men, appearance is never the first factor.

Jack Ma was praised for his handsome appearance, and Cao Xuan felt that his assets were revealed and he was definitely the most handsome man in the world.

"Your King Cao is willing to sacrifice, and my wife won't even be jealous of me."

"Director Zhang is very generous."

The two chatted for a while and talked about their upcoming work. Cao Xuan took a short break and would join the filming of "Hurricane Rescue 2", while Lao Mouzi intended to take a long vacation.

He has been so busy in the past two years that he barely has time to spend with his family, so he plans to take a good rest and then go out again.

"No objection from Boss Zhang?"

Cao Xuan asked playfully. Everyone knew that the new picture was entirely supported by Lao Mouzi alone.

If Cao Xuan rests for a few years, Fanxing will have lost its backbone, and it will definitely be injured, but at least it will not be fatal. But if Lao Mouzi gives up and rests, the new picture will be paralyzed.

Cao Xuan had heard the news a long time ago. Because of the Beijing Olympics, Lao Mouzi Ge had been hiding a new scene for nearly two years.

Although there is a certain share of new pictures in "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", they are not many. After all, Lao Mouzi's participation was limited and he also paid a lot of director fees. If there are more new pictures, everyone will be uncomfortable.

Boss Zhang has nothing to do no matter how anxious he is because of the Beijing Olympics. But now that the Olympics are over and he is going crazy with anxiety, he probably won't let Lao Mouzi relax.

"Weiping has already promised me."

Sure enough, after hearing what Cao Xuan said, Lao Mouzi said it was okay, but he, who knew Boss Zhang's temperament well, also started to murmur.

"That's good."

Cao Xuan stopped so far and did not continue to sow discord. In fact, there was no need for him to sow discord. In the original time and space, after the Olympic Games, the relationship between Lao Mouzi and Boss Zhang became worse day by day. Soon they were at odds with each other, until they were completely at odds with each other. Fall apart.

As I said before, Cao Xuan has been thinking about Lao Mouzi for more than a day or two.

He didn't want to completely poach Lao Mouzi, but it would be good if the two parties could cooperate. But the key point is that every time they cooperate, there is a boss Zhang who stirs up troubles in the middle.

Cao Xuan didn't care if he got a share of the pie, but if he was bothered by him, he would chatter around him and make fun of Lao Mouzi at every turn.

This was the case in "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" before. Both he and Mr. Han were disgusted.

Therefore, Cao Xuan hopes that Lao Mouzi will break up with Boss Zhang as soon as possible. Whether it is signing a contract or cooperating, both parties will definitely be very happy.

………

After the Olympics, Cao Xuan freed up a lot of energy and had time to deal with some company matters.

The second part of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" has been confirmed to be released in the summer next year, and "Saving Mr. My Life" will be released in the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival movies.

This movie is not very demanding about the box office. It is mainly for winning awards. The profit will be enough to repay the original cost. Of course, it can make more money.

Cao Xuan himself, New Line Cinema and director Lin Chaoxian are preparing to shoot "Rescue 2". The script has been written. This time, I will not save my sister but save my girlfriend.

But whether it is a domestic girlfriend or a foreign girlfriend is not yet completely determined.

Needless to say, many celebrities in China are eyeing this drama, and many female stars in Hollywood have also expressed interest.

After all, the first part of "Taken" had a global box office of almost US$150 million. Although it is not a big hit, it is not an ordinary project either. It is a big temptation for most Hollywood actresses.

The artists currently in contact with Stars New Line include seven or eight famous actresses, including Jessica Alba, Anne Kethaway, Gal Gadot and other famous Hollywood beauties.

From a box-office perspective, hiring these Hollywood actresses is beneficial, but using domestic actors can not only flatter people, but also is cheaper.

So the producer has been hesitant. It's not an important role anyway, she can play it if she's an actress, and the background can be changed at will, so they negotiate slowly.

Compared to the actresses, Cao Xuan cares more about the villains of the movie. This time the setting is in the British background, and he arranged for the villain's gold medal thugs to cause a lot of trouble for the male protagonist.

This is normal in action movies. Although it is very satisfying to wipe out the minions with crackling noise, it cannot be without twists and turns. Finding a villain who is a little more awesome can highlight the feeling of fun.

In fact, Wu Jing has this attribute in the first part, and the villain role in the second part is more important. Cao Xuan intends to find Guo Da... no, Jason Statham to play the role.

However, due to the popularity of the "Fast Delivery" series and "Death Race", he has a higher status in the film industry than Cao Xuan, so it is definitely impossible to give him a supporting role.

Cao Xuan thought about it for a while and simply contacted Dwayne Johnson. The latter was not well-known now, so it didn't matter whether he would be a match for Cao Xuan or not.

It just so happens that Cao Xuan also enjoys the feeling of beating up the action stars of the future world. After all, once they become popular, it will not be easy to fight again.

Thinking about it a few years later, people found out that Chinese Wolf Warrior and American Dwayne Johnson were beaten by Cao Xuan in the same series of movies. It felt absolutely cool.

In addition to "Rescue 2", Fanxing is also preparing a blockbuster this year, "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" directed by Mr. Xu.

Dee Renjie is still starring Liu Tianwang. There is no way. Nowadays, except for Cao Xuan, most of the people in the industry who can handle the box office are these Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

Jiao Enjun, who is the best among the stars Cao Xuan, although he became famous because of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff", the box office of blockbuster movies like Monkey King is still far behind, and the same is true for Huang Bo and Duan Long.

Therefore, Di Renjie is still Liu Tianwang, the heroine Shangguan Wan'er is replaced by Fan Xiaopang, the first sister of Fanxing, Jiao Enjun takes on the role of the villain, and the white-haired male lead is given to Hu Ge.

As for Wu Zetian, Fanxing contacted Gong Li and Maggie Cheung, but the feedback they received was not satisfactory, while Liu Xiaoqing accepted the TV series and couldn't move the schedule.

At the critical moment, Nishinomiya, who was very optimistic about the script, was actually tired of staying at home and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for help.

Not to mention, Zeng Li's appearance is quite grand, which makes him very suitable for the role of a royal sister and queen. He is just a little too young, but he can make up for it with makeup.

Cao Xuan, who couldn't stand the pillow wind, could only agree. Anyway, little Cao Li was over a year old and someone was taking care of him at home. Zeng Li had been holding it in at home for two years, so it would be good to go out and do some activities.

As a result, Zeng Li successfully graduated abroad, returned to China Opera as an acting lecturer, and was "lucky" to get an important role in a large production.

According to the news from the Empress of the East Palace who did not want to be named, Zeng Li was afraid that he would be outdated or that the role he performed would not be able to suppress the students because of his limited reputation, so he specially played an important role to give himself a bit of a teacher's education. majesty.

In this regard, Boss Cao can only say that Miss Nisigong really thinks too much.

Let’s not talk about Zeng Li’s stunning sword performance in "Xiu Chun Knife 2", which is still cherished by countless fans. She is just the aura of the star class teacher in the Chinese drama 02. Who dares to quarrel with her, it is too late to please...
