China Entertainment 1997

The participation of a large number of fans has escalated the battle, and the fight between Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi has completely entered a fever pitch!

Ren Xianqi's "Sad Pacific" and "Dusk" competed fiercely, barely gaining the upper hand, and launched an impact on the top spot "Fairy Tale".

However, for now, the position of "Fairy Tale" is still relatively stable. On the contrary, "Dusk" has made counterattacks from time to time and returned to the top two.

"The Girl Opposite Looks Over" and "Running" are floating around the fourth and fifth places. Today you suppress me, and tomorrow I will suppress you, lingering until the end of the world.

The top five in the entire ranking are all occupied by songs by Cao Xuan, and at their peak, the two of them jointly occupied eight of the top ten.

The cover of the latest issue of "Contemporary Music" is the top ten ranking of that ranking, which directly declares [Nan Ren Bei Cao]'s current dominance in the music world.

First: Cao Xuan's "Fairy Tale"

Second: Ren Xianqi's "Sad Pacific"

Third: Cao Xuan's "Twilight"

Fourth: Ren Xianqi's "The Girl Opposite Looks Over"

Fifth: Cao Xuan's "Running"

Sixth: Peng Jiahui's "We Meet Too Late"

Seventh: Ren Xianqi's "Ren Xiaoyao"

Eighth: Na Young's "Conquest"

Ninth: Cao Xuan's "Angel Wings"

Tenth: Ren Xianqi's "I am a Fish"

The hit song "Meet You Too Late", which caused a sensation in Southeast Asia, and mainland diva Naying have become the only two stars left in the rankings.

Another pop star Li Wen, the newly released new singer Wang Lihong, and other singers who have released singles and albums have not even had the chance to be in the top ten of the charts.

The deputy editor-in-chief of "Contemporary Music Circle" joked that when the eldest brother and the second child fight, a group of third children will suffer.

But no matter what, in September 1998, "Nan Ren Bei Cao" became a buzzword in China.

The media hyped it up like crazy, and the public followed suit. Even many big names in the music industry were chased by reporters and asked about their feelings.

Mao Ning: "The younger generation is to be feared!"

Liu Huan: "I have been friends with Cao Xuan for many years, and I am not surprised by his popularity. I think he will definitely be the backbone of the Chinese music scene in the future."

Liu Tianwang: "The two of them are so powerful. They fought so hard that I am discussing with my manager to postpone the release of the song."

Li Zongsheng: "Cao Xuan has strong creative ability, and Xiaoqi's voice is more distinctive. They are both heroes of the moment."

Leslie Cheung: "I have listened to the songs of both of them, and I like them both very much."

Wang Fei: "Don't say I'm popular anymore. Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi are both more popular than me now."

Na Young: "...Are you polite?"

The outside world continues to pay attention to the changes in the rankings, but the two parties involved, Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi, have focused their attention on album sales.

At this point in the rankings, the two sides have become inseparable. There may be a slight difference, but no one can truly defeat the other.

In this case, it is better to pay close attention to album sales, after all, it is directly related to their income.

The original sales volume of "Stars Dotted" previously exceeded 1.1 million. Although it is still on the rise, the rate of increase is far less than that of previous months.

After a peak battle with Ren Xianqi, the popularity soared, and the sales of the album also ushered in a wave of climax.

And the most important thing is that 95% of Cao Xuan's fan market was in the mainland before, but this time after "Nan Ren Bei Cao" became popular, he also had many more fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Starry Stars", which had previously sold only moderately well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, suddenly saw sales surge several times.

By October, the album sales in Taiwan alone were over 200,000.

Including sales in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and a few overseas countries, the total sales of "Starry Spots" are approaching 1.5 million, and the goal of exceeding 2 million before the end of the year is basically within reach.

Cao Xuan's sales are booming, and Ren Xianqi's "Love in the Pacific" is also doing well.

In just one month, the sales volume in Taiwan, the home base, exceeded 300,000, and the sales in other places were almost 300,000, totaling 600,000, which is much faster than Cao Xuan's original sales.

But this is normal. After all, Ren Xianqi’s fan base is here, and he is taking advantage of the trend of [Nan Ren Bei Cao]. If the sales are not as good as the original Cao Xuan, just give up and admit defeat.

Now it seems that it is not difficult for "Love in the Pacific" to sell 1 million.

The key depends on whether it can withstand the piracy attack and whether it can maintain a long-term and sustained growth trend after 1 million sales.

The rankings are still bloody, but from the perspective of benefits and results, it no longer matters who wins and who loses.

What's important is that both Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi's new albums have been successful, and their fame and influence have also expanded a lot.

Ren Xianqi has completely secured his throne as the new king of Chinese music, and Cao Xuan has also consolidated his position as a first-line singer, and initially has the capital to challenge the king of mainland China.

………

In the mainland, where entertainment is still underdeveloped, there is rarely such fierce head-to-head competition. This peak showdown between "Nan Ren and Bei Cao" can be said to be quite enjoyable for the spectators.

Even the newly formed Spring Festival Gala director team was alarmed and discussed the possibility of inviting Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi to the Spring Festival Gala.

In fact, last year, the Spring Festival Gala program team wanted to invite Ren Xianqi, but due to various reasons, the plan was ultimately shelved.

This year, seeing that Ren Xianqi has maintained his popularity and even improved it to a higher level, coupled with his regional aura of Taiwan Province, he was almost immediately included in the invitation list of the Spring Festival Gala program.

But here in Cao Xuan, there was a little controversy.

These days, apart from Hong Kong, Taiwan and ethnic minority singers, the rest of the Spring Festival Gala singers are basically monopolized by various cultural units and large companies.

For someone like Cao Xuan, no matter how strong his momentum is, he may not be able to get an invitation.

There is no way, the Spring Festival Gala is most indispensable for big names. There can be five or six kings and queens gathered at any time. Cao Xuan is attractive, but he is not the only one.

People have always begged to attend the Spring Festival Gala, rather than the Spring Festival Gala begging people to participate...

In the end, it was Liu Tiemin, the head of the directing team of this Spring Festival Gala, who personally made the final decision.

Since [Nan Ren Bei Cao] is so popular, then invite both of them. Besides, there are still rehearsals. You can see the effect of the show before considering it.

As a result, Cao Xuan, who had already rushed to Hengdian to film, received an official invitation from the Spring Festival Gala.

The deputy director responsible for contacting him told Cao Xuan to prepare the program before November and then go to CCTV to participate in the first round of Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.

Cao Xuan attaches great importance to this Spring Festival Gala invitation.

This time "Stars" became a hit. Although it was not like the last time "Ten Thousand Reasons" where people only heard about its songs and didn't know about them, in general, the songs are more popular than the people.

If he could go to the Spring Festival Gala to show off his face, it would be of great benefit to Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan made two preparations in private.

If the Spring Festival Gala program team wants him to sing a famous song, then he will sing "Fairy Tale" and "Running". These two are relatively more suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage and are famous.

If there are no restrictions on the Spring Festival Gala program, Cao Xuan plans to sing a new song that will shock the audience and make a splash in the Spring Festival Gala as much as possible.

But which new song to choose is a question worthy of Cao Xuan's consideration.

After all, there are so many to choose from...
