China Entertainment 1997

Chapter 97 Brother Xiao Ma, do you want money? (First order required)



Cao Xuan's fan meeting with tens of thousands of people has been talked about by people in Shanghai for several days since then.

There is no way, there are few entertainment options these days, and there are few celebrities who can support such a large-scale event. Fortunately, it is a magical city. If it were a smaller city, it would not be able to get as popular every month.

Modu TV also purchased the copyright of Cao Xuan’s fan club from Warner Bros. and made a special episode, which received good ratings.

Later, Modu TV simply edited the best-known clip of "Fairy Tale", a chorus of ten thousand people, and put it on the music program, and the on-demand rate broke the program's record.

In addition to being in Shanghai, this fan meeting also attracted a certain amount of attention nationwide.

Especially Cao Xuan's fans were so envious that they called on Cao Xuan to come to their place to hold a fan meeting or autograph session.

After discussion, Warner and Cao Xuan decided to hold fan concerts of different sizes in Beijing, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, Wucheng, Hubei Province, and Guangshi, Guangdong Province.

Other places will not be missed, and suitable cities will be selected to hold autograph sessions.

In fact, Warner wants to hold concerts more because they can make money.

But concert preparation is too complicated. A medium-sized concert takes about 20 to 60 days, not counting the actors' program preparation time.

In comparison, fan clubs are relatively better organized and have more flexible schedules, which can save a lot of time.

After all, the most important thing at the moment is the sales of the new album. The concert can wait until Cao Xuan secures his position as the king.

Therefore, throughout August, Cao Xuan traveled all over the country to promote, hold autograph sessions and fan meetings.

The sales of the album "Glittering Stars" are increasing day by day, Cao Xuan's fame is also growing, and several songs are performing more and more well on the charts.

In mid-August, Zhang Yu's new album "The Rain Keeps Falling" entered the mainland market. The title song "The Rain Keeps Falling" and the wedding song "For You" quickly entered the charts, taking a lot of pressure off Cao Xuan.

After that, Cao Xuan, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Huimei worked together to barely suppress the momentum of several theme songs of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2".

After winning "Huan Zhuge Ge", Zhang Yu turned around and started a battle with Cao Xuan.

However, his popularity in the mainland cannot be compared with Cao Xuan and others. Typical singers are not popular. Against Cao Xuan, his disadvantage is too obvious and it is difficult to succeed.

In addition to Zhang Yu, three new singers will join the battlefield in August.

Hong Kong’s little diva Mok Wenwei released a new song "Cloudy", which is another of her masterpieces after "Hiroshima Amour" and "Fruits of Midsummer".

"It's All Your Fault" by Kelly Chen and Prince Edward.

Last year's song "Notepad" made Kelly Chen famous in the mainland. This time the new song was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention.

But the most popular one is "Xingyu Wish" by Hong Kong's new beauty master Zhang Baizhi.

This song is also the theme song of the movie "Star Wish" of the same name.

During the summer vacation, the movie "Star Language Wish" was released in Hong Kong, and the results were quite good. Ren Xianqi washed away the burden of being the "ugliest Yang Guo" and successfully entered the film market.

Zhang Baizhi is even more famous. The two outstanding heroines in "The King of Comedy" and "Xingyu Wish" made her famous in Hong Kong and successfully won the favor of Xiang Tai.

With popularity, works, and a big boss behind her, Zhang Baizhi once became the most popular little girl among the new generation in Hong Kong.

The song "Star Language Wish" is also popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Songs like "Cloudy" and "It's All Your Fault" were all defeated by his subordinates. Stepping on the heads of two Hong Kong queens, Zhang Baizhi fired her first shot in the music industry.

It's a pity that Zhang Yunu has reached her peak after her debut. Zhang Yunu will have new achievements in the film and television industry in the future, but in the music industry, she has never produced a song with the same impact as "Star Language Wish".

"Wish in the Star" is coming with force, but it is difficult to defeat Cao Xuan, who has already established his momentum.

"Huan Zhu Princess 2" has already been released, how can the dignified official Cao be afraid of the so-called head of the Jade Girl...

Zhang Yunv entered the mainland with confidence with "Star Language Wish", but she was completely hit in the rankings and could not even make it to the top three.

No way, the first one at that time was "The Original Dream" by Cao Xuan, the second one was "The Rain Keeps Falling" by Zhang Yu, and the third one was "You Are the Wind and I Am the Sand" by Lin Xinru and Zhou Jie.

Cao Xuan and Zhang Yu are extraordinary, and "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2" is even more influential.

Zhang Baizhi couldn't break through the solid defense line of these three songs, so she could only stay in fourth place and bully the singers below.

But Zhang Huimei quit.

It’s okay if you can’t beat Cao Xuan, the popular fried chicken.

Zhang Yu has been at her peak in the past two years, and she has endured it. "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2" has become popular in Asia, so she can accept it if she doesn't win.

But it doesn't mean that after her first day in the province, she can allow a new person to ride on her head casually.

So, Zhang Huimei and Zhang Yunu went to war, and they didn't care about anything, so they caught Zhang Yunu and hammered them.

"Wish in the Star" is indeed popular, but Zhang Huimei's "Can I Hug You" is not bad either. Coupled with the influence of Taiwan's first-day actress, it can easily beat Zhang Baizhi.

When the Second World War started, time passed slowly. By the end of August, China Central Radio's music on-demand program announced the latest top ten rankings.

First: Cao Xuan's "Initial Dream"

Second: Lin Xinru \u0026 Zhou Jie "You are the wind and I am the sand"

Third: Zhang Yu's "The Rain Keeps Falling"

Fourth: Cao Xuan's "Love Is Unavoidable"

Fifth: Zhang Huimei's "Can I Hug You"

Sixth: Zhang Baizhi's "Star Language Wish"

Seventh: Zhao Wei's "There is a Girl"

Eighth: Karen Mok's "Cloudy"

Ninth: Kelly Chen \u0026 Prince Edward "It's All Your Fault"

Tenth: Cao Xuan "Love Because of Love"

In less than a month, the situation in this summer vacation war has changed dramatically.

But overall, in such fierce competition, Cao Xuan occupied three of the top ten, two of which were in the top five, and won the top spot, still maintaining an absolute advantage.

If we really have to decide a winner, Cao Xuan deserves it.

With the victory in the summer vacation battle and the soaring album sales, some media have prefixed Cao Xuan with the name of the new king of the Chinese music scene when reporting on him, and there are few dissenters.

Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Cao Xuan becomes the King of Heaven.

Even many authoritative media and even TV stations have prepared relevant articles. Once the right time comes, the new king will ascend the throne and the world will spread the news.

The entire Chinese music scene is silently waiting to witness history, but Cao Xuan, the person involved, is focusing on another matter.

Penguin finally ran out of money!

According to information Cao Xuan learned from multiple sources, QQ has grown at an alarming rate since its cap. In just over half a year, the number of users exceeded hundreds of thousands.

This was originally a good thing, but before Xiao Ma and the others found the profit point of QQ, a huge user base also meant burning money.

The monthly server fee alone gave Xiao Ma a headache. In order to make money, Penguin took on any job during this period, but the money he earned was far less than the rate he was burning money.

After discussion, Xiao Ma and several other founders decided to provide 40% of the shares for financing.

As a result, they hit a wall everywhere. The key is that Xiao Ma and the others don't know how QQ can make money. The Internet is still in its exploratory stage these days, and investors are very cautious and don't dare to place bets easily.

Xiao Ma was once forced to have the idea of ​​selling QQ, but no one took the offer of 1 million.

Xiao Ma, who was desperate, fell into the biggest trough since starting his business. He was considering whether to give up Penguin and go home to inherit the family business.

Boom, there was a loud sound in the sky, and Cao Daguan made his debut.

"Lao Ma, do you want money?"
