Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Cao Xuan got up the next morning, he saw Zhang Chong's face drooping, and when he asked, it turned out that the national football team lost again.

    Iran 4:1 China.

    The national football team, which was already in crisis, was forced to the edge of a cliff. If they want to qualify, they must beat Qatar at home. The time for the last stand has come.

    Zhang Chong also hoped that the national football team would come back to life in more than ten days. Cao Xuan didn't know what to say. I hope he can hold on then.

    He took out the leftover steamed buns from last night, soaked them in hot water, and put them in Wangcai Laifu¡¯s dog bowl. Cao Xuan and the two locked the door and left. After breakfast, they went straight to Baihua Recording Studio  .

    Cao Xuan has also been to several recording studios in Beijing, but his favorite is Baihua Recording Studio.

    So this time I put the place where I made my new album here, which happens to be close to home, and it only takes 10 minutes to make a face-to-face meeting.

    After a while, when we arrived at the place, Cao Xuan asked the front desk for a recording studio.

    In fact, before Cao Xuan wanted to rent one alone for a long time at Baihua Recording Studio. Later, he inquired about the price and found that he could afford it, but he always felt that it was not worth the money. He planned to wait until the official recording time.

    Regarding Cao Xuan's new album, the songs are almost selected now, with a total of 10 songs. In addition to 5 songs that are relatively mediocre, Cao Xuan also prepared 5 songs that will be popular in later generations as the album's main songs.

    The first song, "Autumn Doesn't Come Back".

    Previously, he lost to "Ten Thousand Reasons" when releasing a single, but this time Cao Xuan arranged it into his first album.

    The second song "Angel's Wings".

    Cao Xuan personally likes this song very much. Its situation is similar to Wang Feng's "In the Spring".

    The third song "Run".

    Yu Quan's masterpiece, a representative model of inspirational songs, can be ranked among the top ten in 2003, and it is also the only song in Cao Xuan's new album that is not a love song.

    The fourth song, "Twilight".

    Known as the pinnacle of love songs in the Chinese music scene, one of the hottest songs in 2000, if Liang Jingru's "Courage" is not too perverted, it may even reach the top.

    The fifth song, "Fairy Tale".

    The hottest song in 2005, none of them, the top of the class song list, tear-jerking divine comedy, countless memories of the post-90s generation.

    Almost all of these 5 hits are in the top ten or top twenty of the year, and "Twilight" and "Fairy Tale" are even more top-notch, and can be included in the annals of the Chinese pop music scene.

    Picking any one of these songs can support the sales of an album, and Cao Xuan doesn't know what will happen if 5 songs are gathered in one album.

    But he is looking forward to it!

    The workload of producing an album is far greater than that of a single, and it will take a certain amount of time for Cao Xuan to shoot a few MVs this time.

    Not to mention, in the middle, Cao Xuan had to take on commercial performances, cooperate with "Water Margin" and "Carrying Love Through to the End", plus Chinese New Year and miscellaneous things.

    If the album wants to produce a finished product, it will probably not be until after April next year.

    This is still a conservative estimate. If there is any change in the middle, it is likely to be pushed back.

    For this album production, Cao Xuan still prefers to do it himself. In terms of distribution, he cooperates with major record companies, and his old friend Lan Qi can subcontract it to do radio promotion.

    Now, Jiang Yue has released the news on behalf of Cao Xuan, and many record companies have come to negotiate.

    ?Including the previously mentioned [Chia Tai International] and another large and medium-sized record company in the mainland, several giants are also interested in cooperating with Cao Xuan, the most active are Rolling Stone and Sony.

    Rolling Stone Records was very sincere and specially sent a vice president to the capital, but Cao Xuan hesitated about Rolling Stone's strength.

    Rolling Stone is undoubtedly the giant of Asian record companies, but at present most of its influence is in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and it does not have much layout in the mainland market.

    In contrast, although Sony has just entered the mainland, it is obviously ready to deepen the mainland market.

    Whether it is signing a number of well-known mainland singers and musicians, or contacting to build your own media resources, or strengthening channel sales, etc.

    Sony's hard power in all aspects is more impressive to the pragmatic Cao Xuan than Rolling Stone's repeated emphasis on past achievements.

    In addition, Liu Huan, who is also a teacher and friend, also joined Sony in September, making Cao Xuan's balance more and more tilted towards Sony.

    However, no matter which company you cooperate with, it would be inappropriate to use Cao Xuan's personal name.

    So Cao Xuan planned to open a personal studio to take care of his work and things systematically.

      Then I got stuck on the naming.

    Zhang Chong proposed to call it "Shanhe", which is simple and domineering. Cao Xuan thought it was too vulgar, so he rejected it.

    Jiang Yue mentioned "Poetry Beauty", Cao Xuan thought it was too girly, so he rejected it.

    Cao Xuan himself thought of a "flying on the grass", lively and playful, but Jiang Yue and Zhang Chong jointly opposed it.

    The three held back for a few days, and finally Jiang Yue found her mother who was a university professor and gave her a name that everyone recognized.

    ¡¾Stars¡¿

    Complex: many, the meaning of prosperity.

    Star: Refers to the stardom and future of Cao Xuan or the studio.

    Fanxing, it can be understood that Cao Xuan will become more and more popular in the future, and the company will develop better and better.

    It has a good meaning and is easy to remember, so [Fanxing Studio] was successfully launched, but it will take some time before it is officially established, and Jiang Yue is going through the formalities

    Cao Xuan tried the sound for a long time in the recording studio, and made a short accompaniment of "Autumn Will Not Come Back" with the sound engineer, reverb to see the effect.

    The next day, Cao Xuan and Jiang Yue went to the "Beijing Metropolis Daily" for an interview. Cao Xuan had done similar interviews several times, and he was already familiar with it.

    But this time, a reporter from "Beijing Metropolis Daily" asked a slightly provocative question.

    "What do you think of "Ten Thousand Reasons" lagging behind "The Heart Is Too Soft" in the major music charts?"

    "10,000 Reasons" became popular in July, and was officially released in August. It overwhelmed "Too Soft Heart" to reach the top, and won the top spot of all major domestic music charts, and it continued for several weeks.

    Since then, the two songs have competed fiercely on the major music charts. It was not until late September that "Ten Thousand Reasons" fell slightly. In mid-October, the popularity of "Ten Thousand Reasons" gradually declined and was  "The Heart Is Too Soft" began to suppress.

    In this context, when the reporter asked this question, it was obviously with malicious intentions, hoping that Cao Xuan would be dissatisfied with "The Heart Is Too Soft" and say a few harsh words.

    If the two popular singers are torn apart, then they will not have to worry about selling the next issue of the newspaper.

    Cao Xuan is not stupid, and he will definitely not do what the reporter expected.

    Instead, he exaggerated "The Heart is Too Soft", and added a few words that everyone is a musician, friendship is first, competition is second, and we must work hard to jointly create and promote a better tomorrow for the Chinese music scene.  past.

    Cao Xuan thought that this was the end of the matter, but within two days Jiang Yue gave him a piece of "Beijing Metropolis Daily", which was his interview report, but the title was¡ª¡ª

    ? "Cao in the South and Cao in the North, the collision of the new generation of singers on both sides of the strait"

    Cao Xuan: "???"

    Looking at the content of the newspaper, the previous interview was okay, but the reporter completely misinterpreted his meaning for the last question.

    Cao Xuan briefly mentioned other words, emphasizing the word "competition", calling Ren Xianqi and Cao Xuan the representatives of the new generation of singers in the Mainland and Taiwan.

    And attached the fierce record of the two songs "Ten Thousand Reasons" and "Too Soft Heart" in the rankings in the past few months, abruptly creating a situation of confrontation between the two sides.

    "This is trying to hype me and Ren Xianqi."

    Cao Xuan saw through the tricks behind this report at a glance, but Jiang Yue was eager to try it.

    "It doesn't matter whether it's fried or fried, just like Tan Zhang contending for hegemony in the 1980s and the Four Heavenly Kings in the 1990s in Xiangjiang. Only when there is competition will there be topics."

    "I'm not opposed to making hype with Ren Xianqi."

    Cao Xuan had a headache: "The key is to attract attention. After all, I only have a single now, and they insist on labeling me as a representative of the mainland music scene. What do you make other singers think?"

    Jiang Yue also realized the seriousness of the problem, and panicked: "How about I find a way to find someone to suppress this matter."

    "Probably useless."

    Cao Xuan shook his head and said: "The "Jingcheng City Daily" is not a small newspaper. It is estimated that it has already spread, and other newspapers and media will also flock to it when they see hot spots. It cannot be suppressed."

    "Then what should we do, let's find other newspapers to speak out?"

    Jiang Yue was a little anxious, but Cao Xuan was still calm: "I'm afraid it's too late, you should contact me first, and then take a look at the wind direction outside, and then take a step to see. ?
