China Entertainment 1997

On April 30, 1999, the 10th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards were held at the Sun Memorial Hall.

[Best Mandarin Male Singer], also known as the king of golden songs by the media and fans, was won by Wang Lihong.

Mainland queen Naying was shortlisted for [Best Mandarin Female Singer], but lost to female singer Shunzi.

The mainland media cheered Naying, saying that she was the first mainland female singer to be nominated for the Taiwan Golden Melody Award [Best Mandarin Female Singer], and she had made history.

But in fact, the award-winning Shunzi was actually born in Beijing. However, she went abroad with her mother when she was young and became a Chinese-American. Naturally, she cannot be considered a mainland female singer.

Similarly, although Wang Fei, a Beijing-born girl, was nominated for the Golden Melody Award as early as 1995, her career focus and place of origin are in Xiangjiang, so she is not considered a mainland singer by the mainland media.

During the 1998 Spring Festival Gala, Wang Fei and Naying sang "Meet Me in 1998" together, and the media promoted both of them as queens from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China.

However, although Na Young made history, Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi, who had huge sales last year, both failed to win the [Best Mandarin Male Singer].

Cao Xuan barely managed to get a nomination for the "Best Newcomer Award", but Brother Xiaoqi didn't even get any. Cao Xuan even doubted whether Ren Xianqi was being targeted.

However, although Cao Xuan was nominated, he did not go to Taiwan Province.

After all, he was also the Album of the Year winner last year. If he were to compete for a Newcomer Award, he couldn't afford to lose that person.

What's more important is that you can't fight for anything.

Warner got the wind beforehand, and this year's Golden Melody Awards has nothing to do with him, a mainland kid.

Of course, if Cao Xuan wants it, there is still a chance for Warner to fight for it, but Cao Xuan is too lazy to win the Golden Melody Award.

Being the Golden Horse Best Actor can help you boast about your acting skills, but being the Golden Song Singer can neither prove your singing skills nor explain the sales data. The quality of the songs is a matter for everyone.

Wang Lihong is the king of golden songs this year, but the current fame and album sales are not enough for Cao Xuan.

Therefore, Cao Xuan is really not particularly keen on song awards. It would be better to add icing on the cake, and it would not be a big disappointment if there is no such thing.

Beijing, Baihua Recording Studio

"Has anyone ever told you that I love you?

Has anyone ever cried in your diary?

Has anyone ever told you that I care

Care about the distance to this city

…”

After returning from Hui Province, apart from a few commercial performances, Cao Xuan spent most of the rest of his days in the recording studio.

In the morning, I made the remaining accompaniment, and in the afternoon I began to trial-record songs with already prepared accompaniment, slowly finding my groove.

After recording twice, Cao Xuan was a little satisfied. He gestured to the recording studio and came out to drink water. Only to see Jiang Yue rushing into the recording studio aggressively with a newspaper.

"Look, these people are so shameless."

"What's wrong?"

Cao Xuan took the newspaper, which had Xie Feng's unruly face printed on it, and an eye-catching title next to it.

"Xiangjiang's super popular new idol music scene is making great efforts, and the South and the North may face a formidable enemy"

After briefly browsing the reports, the main point is that Xie Feng recently released a new album "Believe", which sold well in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong media began to compare Xie with [Nan Ren Bei Cao].

"This move looks familiar."

Cao Xuan quickly realized that this was not the way he used to deal with Ren Xianqi.

Good guy, if you pay the patent fee, just copy it!

Cao Xuan complained, but did not take this matter to heart.

In the entertainment industry, tying and banging is the norm, and during this period, many people took advantage of his popularity. He would get angry every one of them, and his blood pressure would reach 200 every day.

Furthermore, last year [Nan Ren Bei Cao] became popular all over the country, and the music circles in Taiwan and the Mainland were proud and proud.

On the contrary, Xiangjiang, which had always been in a dominant position before, was somewhat eclipsed in comparison.

Among the four kings who have swept the music scene, except for model worker Liu Tianwang, who still insists on being active in the music scene, the remaining three have begun to shift their career focus.

Guo Tianwang is committed to the film industry, Li Tianwang focuses on business and behind the scenes, and Zhang Tianwang is busy with global tours and musicals.

It is already foreseeable that the era of the Four Heavenly Kings is coming to an end, so the Hong Kong music scene is eager to launch a successor to become the new king of Hong Kong.

Xie Feng is good-looking, has a huge network of connections from his father, and is favored by his boss and godfather, Boss Yang. He also has certain abilities, so he has naturally become the target of high praise in the Hong Kong music scene.

However, for the time being, Xie Feng's influence is only in Xiangjiang. If he wants to expand to the whole of China, he needs publicity media.

And now in the entire Chinese music scene, [Nan Ren and Bei Cao] is the most popular in terms of popularity. If Cao Xuan were Xie Feng and the Hong Kong media, he would also choose to play against them.

With the title of the successor of the Four Heavenly Kings and the popularity of "Nan Ren Bei Cao", there is also a divorced Wang Fei as plan C.

Xie Feng is not popular, I am sorry for the reputation of these people...

Manager Jiang actually understood this truth, but she just wasn't angry. In her heart——

Cao Xuan catches Ren Xianqi’s popularity (√)

Nicholas Tse and Cao Xuan (x)

Old double standard!

Seeing that Cao Xuan had no intention of condemning Xie Feng with his enemies, Jiang Yue looked at him with disdain, then became a little disinterested and mentioned another thing that Cao Xuan was interested in.

"The Continuation of Journey to the West" sent him a role invitation.

When he played Ximen Qing in "Water Margin", Cao Xuan had accumulated feelings about the four famous works.

Previously, he once met director Yang Jie who was preparing for "The Continuation of Journey to the West" at CCTV and took the initiative to recommend himself.

I don't ask for any roles, just show off some scenes and make a cameo, which is enough to satisfy my wish.

Director Yang Jie really took note of this, mainly because of Cao Xuan's fame. Joining "Journey to the West Continued" will be good for the promotion of the TV series.

Therefore, director Yang Jie gave Cao Xuan a role with a small but significant role.

The strongest monster in the show, the Tathagata Buddha's uncle, and the golden-winged roc that challenges the Eighteen Arhats!

Even taking care of Cao Xuan's schedule, he didn't have to play the monster form of the roc, and directly transformed into the part where a man molests the peacock princess.

After all, what the crew of "Journey to the West: The Continued" valued was Cao Xuan's face. If they really wanted to put feathers on it and replace it with a bird's head, they could just find any actor.

Cao Xuan recalled the scene of the golden-winged roc. Isn't this a different kind of Ximen Qing?

It's not even as good as Ximen Qing, the high-ranking official can get it, the roc bird is a dog-licker, and the peacock princess doesn't want it...

However, "The Continuation of Journey to the West" originally had very few episodes, and there weren't many characters suitable for him. Overall, Dapeng is pretty good.

Cao Xuan wanted to play the role of Tang Monk, but other directors refused to do it.

It was just a guest appearance anyway, so Cao Xuan didn’t hesitate and just accepted.

Ximen Qing, Dapengniao, Cao Xuan plays the four great masterpieces of Qi, which is half of my wish...
