China Entertainment 1997

The first Tianlai Awards came to a successful conclusion, and Cao Xuan hosted a celebration party, but the impact of this matter had just begun to ferment.

Su Yunying, the queen of natural sounds who broke out in the cold, became famous overnight.

This girl from the Li ethnic group in Qiong Province just graduated from college last year and participated in the 2013 "The Voice of China". However, she did not get a mentorship in the blind audition and was directly eliminated. She even had no other selling points and was edited out and did not appear on TV. in the program.

After that, Soren participated in the first season of the original music program "Chinese Good Songs" organized by Fanxing and CCTV at the end of last year and performed brilliantly.

The song "Wild Son" on which he became famous was popular at that time.

What's more worth mentioning is that Su Yunying only started to try original songs last year, and the song "Wild Son" is considered a fledgling work.

But she didn't expect that her performance would be so outstanding. Not only would she become quite famous on the Internet, but as a newcomer, she would defeat many well-known female singers and even divas to win the title of Tianlai Diva.

The Queen of Heavenly Songs and the King of Heavenly Songs are also simplified and jokingly called "Queen of Heaven" and "King of Heaven" by many people, but the meanings of these two words are completely different.

The Queen of Natural Songs and the King of Natural Songs are an honor, and it is an honor that has just appeared, and its gold content is difficult to estimate for the time being.

Queens and kings are a comprehensive reflection of a singer's status, achievements, and influence in the music industry.

So this simplified nickname is a bit of a forced one, but then again, this is not a bad vision. If you win the Queen of Tianlai Songs, there is no hope of becoming a real Chinese Queen and King in the future.

Even those singers who are queens and kings have proven themselves once again and their careers have reached new highlights.

Then again, since the Tianlai Awards were first launched, who can say for sure what the future will be like. Maybe in a few years, this Tianlai diva will be more valuable than the Chinese diva.

Or if you want to become a Chinese-speaking queen, you must get a Tianlai singer.

This is considered a basic operation in the entertainment industry.

For example, in the Taiwanese music scene, anyone who has not won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award will not be as confident as those who have won the award. Anyone who claims to be a king or queen will be ridiculed as unqualified.

This is especially true in the European and American music circles. Even if you haven't won a Grammy, you still have the nerve to be called a top performer.

When comparing major actresses and male stars in the film industry at the same level, in addition to box office and ratings, awards are the top priority.

Zhao, who has never won a prestigious award for Best Actress, has been ridiculed by fans. Maggie Cheung and Liu Jialing, the older generation of Hong Kong film industry, have been compared because of their ambiguous relationship. The latter has not won an award yet. After years of being frustrated, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I finally got what I wanted.

One day, the Tianlai Awards will become an important weight in determining the status of singers in the Chinese music industry, and even an indispensable existence.

Cao Xuan will be even happier than becoming the first prize in the Chinese music industry...

Although Su Yunying benefited a lot from her song and became famous, her actual influence was ranked in the middle of the Tianlai Awards.

As I said before, winning awards also depends on the person. Su Yunying's popularity and reputation are weak, and the attention she received when winning the award is limited. If it were Naying and Chae Yilin, the popularity of this matter would be several levels higher.

Eason Chan's momentum for winning the first Tianlai Singing King was obviously much higher than that of Su Yunying.

But the one with the greatest momentum has to be the winner of [Best Group] TFBOYS.

Frankly speaking, the reputation of these children is not particularly good.

There has been no Spring Festival Gala incident in the Year of the Monkey yet.

This matter had nothing to do with them originally, and it was not their decision whether Teacher Six could attend the Spring Festival Gala.

TFBOYS was originally supposed to be a victim, but it ended up being like that, largely because of himself.

One is the fans, which are basically female fans.

Such fans are extremely protective of their shortcomings and cannot tolerate others saying anything bad. They are tough in daily dealings, attack outsiders at every turn, and speak fiercely, which will inevitably offend others.

Moreover, they praised a few children too much, and they were the first to flood the comment area with comments.

The barrages in the comment area are all kinds of swiping comments, which arouse the disgust of passers-by.

As a result, the two sides were at loggerheads, one more rebellious than the other.

The second is the issue of positioning. TFBOYS has just debuted, and its positioning is to cultivate idols. This route is very new, and it also means that it is not easy to be recognized.

Originally, this group of idol artists were easily looked down upon by others, and TFBOYS was a bit of a trickster. Their professional skills were not particularly strong. Their biggest advantages were their age and faces, and they were even less popular.

What's more important is that a group of students, in the domestic environment that attaches great importance to education, are not taking the right path.

There is also a little thought that is more or less unacceptable to outsiders.

They are a bunch of little brats who are not very talented themselves. They make a lot of money and are famous. They are also liked by a bunch of female fans. They repel the same sex. Many men instinctively express displeasure or even jealousy.

This is a very normal psychological phenomenon.

Cao Xuan was also called a pretty boy back then, but it took him more than ten years to accomplish numerous achievements and prove his abilities before turning men's jealousy and resistance into admiration and affirmation.

Before these three children can show off their achievements, they are destined not to get much recognition from the same sex.

In fact, the four-character member among the three has been praised by many passers-by for his achievements, and at least he has been given certain expectations. Unfortunately...

How can a group with poor moral standards and a group that is not easily popular in the first place, coupled with a bunch of worry-free fans, have a good reputation?

Last year there was controversy just because of fans.

Under such circumstances, it takes a certain amount of courage to award the Tianlai Award to them [Best Group].

Unsurprisingly, this award has become the most controversial point of this year's Tianlai Awards. It has been highly discussed, with both supporters and opponents arguing endlessly.

So many insiders doubted whether Cao Xuan did it on purpose and used this matter to promote Tianlai Awards.

Cao Xuan firmly denied this and believed that his award was reasonable.

Moreover, after the award ceremony, the Tianlai Awards also announced the relevant selection process on the official website, including the final voters and the number of votes, which can be directly checked, ensuring fairness within the award rules to the greatest extent.

As for the resulting controversial traffic and huge popularity, this is beyond his control...

Whether the party involved, TFBOYS, has benefited from this matter must be viewed from both sides.

On the one hand, I did win an award. Although the Tianlai Award is new and its gold content is somewhat vague, its momentum and size are definitely not comparable to the ordinary Pheasant Award.

For TFBOYS, this is quite an impressive achievement, which has greatly enriched their background and qualifications.

This is an advantage, but the disadvantage is that they once again fell into a public opinion storm. Although they received a lot of exposure and gained many new fans, they were also resisted by a large number of passers-by, and their reputation was further polarized, which is a hidden danger for their future development.

Therefore, TFBOYS and the company behind them are experiencing real pain and happiness at the peak of their times.

In addition, the one that Tianlai talks about that is also highly discussed is the [Top Ten of the Year].

As expected by Cao Xuan, less than half of the ten winning songs had no objections, and most of the songs had dissenters.

This result is normal. Everyone has different tastes and hobbies in music appreciation. Except for a few classic songs that can be loved by most people, many high-quality songs are still like carrots and cabbages, and everyone has their own preferences.

Many fans and netizens feel that their favorite songs were not selected, and their "mediocre works" that should not have won the award were awarded. How could they not express their opinions?

This is already very good. There are at least ten spots left. If it were selected as [Best Single], there would be even more complaints.

Or maybe less, because there is only one quota for "Best Single" and its influence is limited. "Top Ten of the Year" creates a group effect, which makes it easier to promote and build momentum. And because there are more quotas, everyone has more opinions and voices.

After all, when it comes to a quota, the competition is too fierce. After losing, you either yell at the unfairness, or you know you are defeated, or you are helpless and simply don't pay attention.

But if the number of places is expanded to ten, it will not be much worse than one place if the gold content and influence of the award are guaranteed.

The difficulty of the key competition has been reduced. Anyone with a certain amount of capital is confident to compete, and this award has become lively.

Both awards have their own advantages. The key depends on how to operate them. Under Cao Xuan’s special arrangement, this year’s [Top Ten of the Year] is very popular.

Although not everyone is satisfied and there are still many controversies, each song and singer has received considerable exposure.

It even formed a kind of alliance, relying on each other, and gradually it really became a bit like [Top Ten of the Year]...

Cao Xuan attaches great importance to the prospect of this award, no less than the previous king/queen of Tianlai Singer.

Not only do we hope that it will determine the status of a singer, but we also hope that it can influence the opinions of fans and the industry.

You can even directly form a final conclusion about the song, making Tian Lai's "Top Ten of the Year" a real top ten of the Chinese music industry.

This is quite difficult. Cao Xuan only has a general wish. It doesn't matter whether it comes true or not. He will be very satisfied if the halo of "Top Ten of the Year" can have a special status.

In general, the first Tianlai Awards went well. Controversies are inevitable, but the flaws cannot be concealed.

Cao Xuan mentally gave himself a score of 80. Thinking of the unexpectedly high subsequent impact and attention, he added another 5 points.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the score in the next few years can be stabilized at around 70-75, it will not be a problem to surpass the Taiwan Golden Melody Award in a short time.

To put it bluntly, when it comes to awarding awards, it’s not about who can do better, but who can win less or less.

Therefore, there is no need to improve, as long as the Tianlai Award maintains its standard, and if the other awards continue to suck, the first award in the Chinese music industry will fall into the bag.

However, Cao Xuan is still a little frustrated. He doesn't want to be worse than worse. He hopes to do better based on his original advantages and become a beacon and benchmark.

………

After Tianlai finished speaking, Cao Xuan finally let go of one of his worries.

Although I still have to worry about the following sessions, with the foundation of the first session, it will be much easier to deal with it. It is nothing more than following the routine and checking for deficiencies.

Cao Xuan didn't have much time to rest at home, so he hurriedly flew to America for the second stage of the concert.

The number of concerts in the Americas and Europe is the same, both 35, including 22 in the United States and 13 in Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and other places.

The main battlefield is in the United States, which is obvious. This is the country with the best market and the most American fans of Cao Xuan.

As for the 13 games for other countries, although it is a little less, it is still limited by conditions.

Each stage holds 35 concerts for more than two months, which is already a very high-load pace, and it is almost the limit that Cao Xuan can accept.

Since there will be more concerts in Asia later, it is likely that some adjustments will be made in time because they have not been officially announced yet.

Under such circumstances, Cao Xuan naturally has to arrange these limited performances as appropriate and take care of as many fans as possible.

To be honest, if it weren't for the purpose of giving back to the fans, normal business logic would have been to hold all the concerts in the United States, saving worry and effort and still making money.

When going to the United States, Cao Xuan was also adjusting the third stage of the concert with his subordinates. Due to changes in Asia, the third stage will inevitably be affected.

The third phase of the concert will be mainly in Africa, the Middle East and Australia, with a total of 25 concerts.

Although the number of shows has been reduced a lot, we still have to travel long distances during this period, which is actually not as good as in Europe and America.

There are 10 concerts in the Middle East, 10 in Australia, and 5 in Africa.

In fact, there were only 5 games in the Middle East at the beginning, but some wealthy people couldn't stand it and threw money at them. Even Boss Cao looked at him with his attitude of mistaking money for money.

In addition, Cao Xuan's investment company has also had some cooperative relations with them in the past two years. Money + favors are all played, and the schedule is not so tight, so Cao Xuan added 5 more scenes.

As for how much benefit these five concerts have brought to Cao Xuan?

Let's put it this way, Cao Xuan can use this money to help China compete for the right to host the 2026 World Cup.

...Russia in 2018 has been decided, and Qatar in 2022 is basically a foregone conclusion. Besides, no one can defeat these guys in white robes by throwing money at them.

However, considering the performance of the national football team, Cao Xuan felt that the money would be better spent investing in youth training schools and building some football fields in China.

At present, the location of the third phase of the concert has been decided, mainly in Australia and Australia in the Middle East.

Africa is a bit fresher. There will be 2 games in South Africa, an old friend, and 1 game in Algeria. The remaining 2 games were originally scheduled for Egypt. Later, the team felt that it was a bit unsafe there in the past two years, so they moved to Morocco.

Cao Xuan is very impressed by this country. The football there is very pure, and the music must be the same.

I don’t know if Director Xu has been to Morocco now, otherwise he would follow suit and turn Xu Zhimo into Cao Zhimo...
