This data made the entire Chinese music scene lose its voice.
"Modu Daily" was the first media to speak out. They printed a photo that took up half of the newspaper, and then made a headline.
"Who else can stop him? ! "
This report was like opening a Pandora's box. Almost all mainland entertainment media gave Cao Xuan their front page, and even many social, economic, and financial media outlets also came to grab the heat.
Apart from the mainland, media from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea have also done a lot of corresponding reports.
After Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries, Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" added the prefix of Cao Xuan for the first time.
The South Korean media directly referred to Cao Xuan as Cao Xuan, and randomly selected 100 passers-by on the street to conduct spot checks.
Unexpectedly, there are more than a dozen people who know Cao Xuan or have heard his songs, most of them are young people.
Except for those big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan who have experienced the golden age of Xiangjiang, Cao Xuan is currently the only one of the new generation of artists who can have such influence in Japan and South Korea.
On the evening + afternoon of October 30th, Cao Xuan and his new album "Bright Stars" landed on CCTV's news column twice.
The first time was to introduce the sales record breaking in the first week, and the second time was to give feedback on foreign media reports on Cao Xuan.
How should I put it, these days China is actively connecting with the world, and the overall environment is more or less "worshiping foreign countries and favoring foreigners", and monks outside have always been fond of chanting scriptures.
Such an environment has created a relatively deformed situation in which the industry and the general public treat Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas stars too preferentially and elevate them.
But then again, the more the environment is like this, the government and the people will look at him differently after Cao Xuan, who was born and bred in the mainland and has a strong root, has made some outstanding achievements in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas.
Cao Xuan even felt that if he worked harder, it would not be too late to be on the "News Network".
However, Cao Xuan has no time to deal with the news. He will start promoting the new album, and at the same time rehearse the concert and related programs for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
?Because the sales in the early stage were too explosive, the rankings soared all the way, and all kinds of rankings were slaughtered.
As a result, many of Warner's original publicity plans had to be changed. Warner simply took a safe route and arranged related variety shows for Cao Xuan. , Hold a signing event.
The popularity of "Bright Stars" gave Warner unlimited ambitions. They set a goal of winning 1.5 million or even hitting 2 million before the end of the year.
If Cao Xuan can do it, it will become the three consecutive album sales champions from 1998 to 2000.
In three months, hit the annual sales crown.
If it was half a month ago, it would have attracted countless people to ridicule, but when Cao Xuan's first week's sales results were announced, everyone really didn't dare to say that.
After all, according to the momentum shown in "Bright Stars", no one can guarantee that Cao Xuan will not be able to complete this miracle.
Warner hit the target and worked hard with Cao Xuan.
But among the fans, there is a bigger goal brewing
On October 21, "Bright Stars" was officially launched.
Before the launch, the top ten of the major music rankings were basically occupied by Cao Xuan, nicknamed Cao Lao Wu.
After the album was released and the rest of the song crew went online, Cao Laowu's name was constantly changing.
On the afternoon of October 22, "Ten Years" entered the top ten for the first time, and Cao Laoliu went online.
In the early morning of October 23, "Blue Lotus" and "Fireworks Are Cold" appeared on the list successively, and Cao Lao Liu transformed into Cao Lao Ba.
However, it didn't take long for "Yellow Race" and "Infatuated Absolutely" to be squeezed out of the top ten.
On October 25th, "Stubborn" and "Little Love Song" successively entered the top ten, but "Little Love Song" only stayed for a very short time before being overtaken.
For the next two days, Cao Xuan kept his status as Cao Laoqi. The latest edition of "Contemporary Music World" once again imitated the 1998 peak battle, and used the rankings to make a cover.
First: Cao Xuan "The Wind Rises"
Second: Cao Xuan's "Ten Years"
Third: Cao Xuan "Blue Lotus"
Fourth: Leung Ching Ru "Courage"
Fifth: "Fireworks Are Cold"
Sixth: Cao Xuan's "Jiangnan"
Seventh: Cao Xuan's "Dark Fragrance"
Eighth: Ren Xianqi "Blossoming Waves"
Ninth: Cao Xuan "Stubborn"
? Tenth: Sun Yanzi "The Sky is Dark"
Those who knew thought it was big??, many caring people started to help hit the charts, and it was difficult to squeeze this song down in one breath.
Cao Xuan's desire to dominate the top ten list by himself was completely shattered. The only thing missing was this song. Many fans were unwilling, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Just when everyone was about to give up, the paper media came out and first reported the turmoil, and then pointedly mentioned Cao Xuan's background in the mainland.
This immediately attracted the melon-eating crowd who watched the show, yes, Cao Xuan is one of his own people, and his own people have to help.
So, under Nei's publicity, many enthusiastic people began to come off the stage to participate in the rankings. These people may not be as united as Cao Xuan's fans, but they can't stand the crowd.
On the evening of November 12, "Courage" was successfully squeezed out of the top ten, and "Yellow Race", which ranked eleventh, took over.
At this moment, the top ten of the major music charts are all with the same singer's name - Cao Xuan.
To be honest, if this conscious act of slaughtering the charts was initiated by fans at the beginning, it was actually fueled by Fanxing and Warner's end in the later stage.
Even, not only Warner and Fanxing, but also some official backgrounds are helping, consciously praising Cao Xuan, the representative of pop music in the mainland, otherwise the slaughter will not be so smooth.
But it doesn't matter whether the official order is over or not, and it doesn't matter how many benefits and deep considerations are behind it.
On November 13, 2000, Cao Xuan exclusively enjoyed the top ten of the major music charts for a whole day.
? On the same day, on the 24th day of the release of "Bright Stars", the album's total sales exceeded 1.12 million.
? The single dominates the top ten in the chart, the album sold 1 million+ in the first month, and the chart sales have a double harvest. Cao Xuan also officially reached the top of the Chinese music scene on this day.
