China Entertainment 1997

On August 9, news about the Beijing Olympics spread all over the world.

According to subsequent statistics, 1.1 billion people in China and 4.4 billion people around the world watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games live or replayed on TV, setting the highest ratings for a program in human history.

It’s not clear whether this statement is accurate, but its influence is indeed great. Media from various countries have given high praise to this opening ceremony and analyzed the impact of this Olympic Games from all sides.

US media: The grand opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games is undoubtedly a manifestation of China’s soft power.

German media: China is taking a big step towards world globalization.

French media: From ancient dynasties to modern powers, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics depicts the rich and colorful history of China.

Japanese media: More than 80 heads of state came to Beijing for the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games, the most in the history of the Olympic Games. China is becoming a presence that cannot be ignored in the world.

Korean media: The famous director Zhang Yimou made the myth a reality and perfectly presented the "Manchu-Han Banquet" for the world's 6.5 billion people.

Australian media: Antique, beautiful and magnificent.

Russian media: The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games epically displayed the long civilization of the Chinese nation, which is unique to China and cannot be copied.

…:…

There are also many praises about Cao Xuan. No matter what time or country, being able to sing solo in front of the entire world in such a grand event in one country is an honor that countless people cannot achieve.

Countless foreign media dubbed Cao Xuan "China's national treasure singer" without any objection.

Although the domestic official media has not publicly reproduced and quoted this name, it has acquiesced to it to some extent.

Lao Mouzi became famous in one battle and was known as [National Master]

Cao Xuan also successfully became a god by virtue of his previous good deeds and solo performance at the opening ceremony, and was hailed as a "National Treasure Singer".

Boss Cao dare not say that he will be invincible from now on, but as long as he does not make any fatal mistakes of principle, he will be safe and happy in the future.

At the same time, because of Cao Xuan's fame in the world, he also became the biggest attraction at the opening ceremony.

The British newspaper The Sun, which is famous for digging up gossip, broke the news that after the opening ceremony, Cao Xuan welcomed delegations from various countries as a publicity ambassador, and many athletes chased him to sign autographs and take photos.

Cao Xuan also asked for the autographs of many sports stars, and everyone chased each other's stars.

Afterwards, Kobe, Usain Bolt, Phelps, Dayao, Li Xiaopeng, Zhang Yining and other domestic and foreign sports stars all posted photos with Cao Xuan on social media, causing Cao Xuan fans to complain about Cao Xuan's daily stamp collecting.

Among them, Bolt was the most exaggerated, posting several tweets in a row to express his happiness at meeting Cao Xuan.

He especially likes Cao Xuan's songs and is excited that he can be one of the protagonists of the Olympics theme song MV. Moreover, both of them are Manchester United fans, so the topic is very close to each other.

Bolt even opened an account on the newly launched Weibo at Cao Xuan's invitation. Taking advantage of the Olympic Games, he gained nearly 100,000 followers in one day.

If Bolt can get any good results in the following games, he might be able to make some waves on Weibo.

In addition to "The Sun", the "Washington Times" in the United States also dug up explosive information about the theme song.

After repeated discussions on the protagonists of the "My Dream" MV, we finally decided on four candidates, and all four of them have meanings behind them.

Needless to say, Dayao represents China, Asia and yellow people, Bolt represents black people and America, Natalie and Chusovitina are white women, one is a European mother, the other is African and a Paralympic athlete.

It can be said that all four candidates are carefully selected protagonists, each with their own uniqueness.

However, the "Washington Times" also stated that Bolt and Chusovitina were highly recommended by Cao Xuan, and he personally spoke to the four protagonists to obtain the right to use the MV's portraits.

Seeing the power of the foreign media, the domestic media could not weaken their momentum, and soon got some behind-the-scenes information.

The black T-shirt Cao Xuan wore was considered by many to be too basic after the event, but in fact there was a lot of discussion about the clothing issue at the time.

There were various options including suits, long gowns, Hanfu, Chinese tunic suits, etc., but later I felt it was too gorgeous, which was a bit contrary to the tone of the song. A black T-shirt was simple yet elegant, and matched with the Galaxy stage, it was uniquely charming.

The main reason is that Cao Xuan's appearance is displayed here. Even if his clothes are simple, he can look like a fashionable superstar. For others, he has to rely on clothes as well.

Some media also found out that after Cao Xuan finished singing, he ran to the auditorium to watch the opening ceremony. Because the venue was too hot, another audience member gave him a folding fan to relieve the heat. Later, Cao Xuan signed the fan and returned it to the audience member. .

Because it was a fan given as a gift at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it has collectible value in itself. Now that it has Cao Xuan's signature and message, the value of this fan has increased countless times.

After the spectator posted a photo of the fan and a photo of himself and Cao Xuan in the auditorium on Weibo, it also became a hot search topic.

A group of people in the comment area turned into lemon essences, and some were willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, usually starting at six figures, but the audience said they would not sell it and would keep it as a souvenir.

All kinds of gossip and secrets were disclosed to the outside world intentionally or unintentionally. Even though the Olympic Games had already begun, it did not stop the wave of discussion about the opening ceremony.

[Cao Xuan’s song is amazing, it’s so nice and has a special flavor]

[You all say that a black T-shirt is ordinary, but I think it looks handsome and gives off a feeling of abstinence and affection]

[Really handsome, so radiant]

[Well, you have to admit that Cao Cao’s appearance is barely comparable to mine.]

【Pooh】

[Bolt is quite fun, similar to us ordinary fans]

[Damn, the basketballs signed by the Chinese men’s basketball team, the American Dream Team and Argentina, as well as the footballs of the National Olympics, Brazil and Argentina teams, the surname Cao is too much]

[Fake, it must be fake, wuwuwu~]

[Which big guy stole him? Let’s collectively sign a petition to commute your sentence]

[I don’t envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I only envy Cao Xuan every day]

[Shame, it is the biggest shame that the organizing committee asked Cao Xuan to perform and represent China. He is not worthy at all, **＊*＊]

*Weibo user "Pang Yidian" was banned for 3650 days for posting inappropriate remarks and violating platform rules*

【……】

It is worth mentioning that after the opening ceremony, the Chinese version, English version, and Chinese-English mixed version of "My Dream" were officially released to the public.

Among them, the Chinese and English mixed version is the official Olympic theme song. The Chinese version and the English version have the same melody, but there are some changes in the lyrics and meaning.

The Chinese version of the lyrics theme and MV are about China's century-old Olympic dream and national rise.

The English version is not just about sports, it refers to anyone and anything in general. It can be regarded as an inspirational song to persist in your dreams and move forward bravely.

In principle, these two songs are not considered Olympic theme songs. They should be regarded as a kind of promotional songs, so they added a suffix at the end, the full name is "My Dream \u0026amp;amp; Chinese Version/English Version".

However, no matter which version they are, these three songs have all been included by the Beijing Olympic Games Organizing Committee and the National Museum, and are expected to be resounding through space with the launch of Shenzhou 7 in the near future.

Boss Cao is all over the world. In addition to the penguins in Antarctica, he has fans on six continents.

But I didn’t expect that the penguins haven’t conquered yet and have gone to space to communicate with aliens...

And as a result, even Cao Xuan himself cannot sing "My Dream" casually without the permission of the relevant units.

Of course, that's what I said, but in fact it's not that strict, and it doesn't go as far as not allowing Cao Xuan to sing. At most, it's not allowed for commercial use.

This is understandable. After all, this song has different meanings. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a representative song of the country.

If a song like this is used casually for fun and profit by artists in concerts or entertainment programs, it would be considered an insult to the Olympics to a certain extent, and there must be restrictions.

Cao Xuan himself also supports this approach. All Olympic song creation fees and performance remuneration are free of charge, and the relevant copyrights are also transferred for free. It is considered a wasted effort for the Beijing Olympics.

But with such a useless job, no matter how many people try, they can't succeed.

Apart from other things, Cao Shuangguo couldn't help crying when he saw his son appearing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. If he didn't want to stay in the capital to watch the game, he couldn't help but run back to his hometown to visit his grave.

Guangzong Yaozu!

Not to mention, Cao Xuan has done so many things, including the Spring Festival Gala every year, and even held a concert in the Temple of Heaven, but the most embarrassing thing in the eyes of his hometown is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Cao Xuan hadn't stopped him, his relatives in his hometown would have built an Olympic memorial arch to show off.

Not to mention whether you deserve it or not, the key is fear of losing your life!

Whether it is the media, fans, relatives or friends, they have been talking about him to the sky these days, making Cao Xuan a little scared.

He had no choice but to praise him too much, which made him feel that if he didn't give up the title of god immediately, he would be sorry for the fanatical atmosphere.

With this idea in mind, Cao Xuan began to keep a low profile after the opening ceremony. He basically did not appear in public and rarely went to watch Olympic games. Most of his posts on Weibo were about forwarding news about certain Chinese athletes winning gold and silver medals.

…

However, Cao Xuan was not idle. "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" was affected to a certain extent by the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

But immediately after, the positive feedback came.

Lao Mouzi + Cao Xuan, who wouldn’t want to watch a movie about the collaboration between the two heroes of the Olympic Games opening ceremony.

You can watch the Olympics at home, but you can't just watch the games. Going out to watch a movie in your spare time can be regarded as a change of mind.

Therefore, after a few days of sluggishness during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the box office trend of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" bottomed out, and more than 20 days after its release, it ushered in another small climax.

In late August, the mainland box office of the first part of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" reached 350 million, successfully obtaining the key to a 20-day extension.

If this trend continues, it is not impossible to hit 400 million.

However, in Japan, "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" still did not break the 10 billion yen mark.

Even though Toho tried its best to promote and build momentum, when the movie was released, the final box office only stayed at 8.4 billion yen, which is about 565 million yuan converted into RMB.

This is not bad, about 50 million yuan more than expected. Cao Xuan's promotional program and the Olympic opening ceremony played a big role.

Of course, Qian Fanxing and China Film Group got only 20~30% of this.

But this is extremely impressive. Adding in other overseas box office and other miscellaneous income, the overseas net profit can reach more than 200 million yuan.

Coupled with the mainland's box office dividends, advertising fees, copyright and other income, the first part of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" almost repaid the entire investment in the two movies in one go.

In other words, as long as the second part of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" is released, it will be a pure profit...

To this end, China Film Fanxing has held countless meetings with other companies, hoping to increase the box office of the next movie as much as possible and maximize profits.

It's easy to say about publicity, but it's hard to decide now whether to strike while the iron is hot and release it on the New Year's Eve, or whether to play it safe and compete in next year's summer release.

Both sides have their advantages.

It was released during the Lunar New Year, and the popularity is still there. It can take advantage of the glory of its predecessor, and it will not make the plots of the two movies too disconnected.

The summer schedule has become a popular schedule in the past two years. There is no need to worry about the market prospects. Moreover, the previous games and Stars have already formed a brand effect. The most important thing is that they are the best schedules in Japan and South Korea. Half of the revenue of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" is overseas. , we cannot but worry about this.

Cao Xuan personally prefers the summer schedule. He has prepared for the two movies during the filming, and they are big IPs that everyone is familiar with, so there is no need to worry about the plot being lost. After a year of delay, he will be more prepared.

Of course, he also has a selfish motive, which is to put such blockbusters on the summer schedule and continue to strengthen Fanxing's reputation as the "King of Summer Movies."

However, he did not act arbitrarily and made decisions based on the films of the same period in specific schedules.

Whether it is the previous "Painted Skin" or this time's "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", it is difficult to ignore that the box office can achieve extremely high box office. It is that the competition in the schedule is extremely fierce. If it encounters a strong opponent, the box office trend may not be so amazing.

Having achieved excellent results for many consecutive years, Fanxing has become more and more dominant. Many media directly divide entertainment industry companies into two levels -

Stars and other companies!

But even for Fanxing Company, it is difficult to reach the end with everyone.

On August 16, 2008, Fanxing held a farewell party internally for Gao Yuanyuan, Yan Kuan, Dong Xuan and the four senior executives who had resigned.

In fact, not all the three artists have expired. Except for Gao Yuanyuan, Yan Kuan and Dong Xuan will not officially terminate their contracts until the end of the year.

But the three of them have decided to leave. It's easy for everyone to get together and leave, and there's no need to wait until the end. There's no work distractions and the handover is completed, so they can leave early.

All three artists have long-term contracts. Gao Yuanyuan has been with the company for eight years, Dong Xuan and Yan Kuan have been with the company for more than seven years, and the shortest of the four top executives has five years of working experience at Fanxing.

For a company that was established more than 10 years ago, these are all old employees, and can even be called veterans.

Therefore, Cao Xuan specially held a farewell party to see everyone off and thank them for their contribution and dedication to the company over the years.

Fanxing Building, internal banquet hall

President Li Yan and Cao Xuan delivered speeches one after another. Unlike Li Yan, who mostly spoke in Mandarin, Cao Xuan's words were a little more sincere due to emotion.

"I am not a very good-tempered person. If I have offended or accidentally hurt you in any way over the years, I would like to apologize to you here.

I asked just now. The two people who have joined the company the longest are Yuan Yuan and Lao Wang. They both joined the company in 2000. At that time, Yuan Yuan was in his early 20s and Lao Wang was not bald yet. He watched our company grow bit by bit.

I also hope that no matter when and where, although we are no longer colleagues in the same company, our friendship will remain.

If you have difficulties in the future and come back to Fanxing, this will still be your home..."

Although Fanxing has had various problems over the years, in general it has been good to its employees. Although everyone has chosen to go their separate ways, many years of youth have been spent here. How could everyone have no feelings for Fanxing at all.

The more emotional girls Gao Yuanyuan and Dong Xuan couldn't help crying. Even Yan Kuan, who was determined to leave, couldn't help but have red eyes.

Cao Xuan invited everyone to take a group photo and later posted it on Weibo with the caption:

[Everyone may not be separated at the end of the song, but we will meet again if we are in love. I wish you good luck]

Fanxing's official Weibo, Hu Jing, Liu Tianxian, Damimi, Hu Ge, Huang Bo and others also forwarded it to send their best wishes to Gao Yuanyuan and others.

A large number of media and media outlets are also hotly discussing the termination of contracts between Fanxing and other artists. They either lament that Cao Xuan is fastidious, or think that Gao Yuanyuan and others are stupid and left Fanxing, a good platform.

But no matter what, the purpose of this starry farewell party is achieved.

First, it is indeed to thank the old employees for their contributions, and second, it has gained a good reputation.

In addition, for Fanxing, a leading entertainment company in the industry, the outside world is eager to look at it with a magnifying glass and rack their brains to find faults, especially when such old employees leave.

It doesn't matter whether the artist is pursuing a career or not. As long as this happens, all kinds of negative influences and conspiracy theories will be everywhere.

For example, calling Sheng Fanxing a crotchless person can't keep people; or spreading rumors that the internal strife is serious, and the reason why the artist left is because he was excluded; or even using a few words of the artist to make a big fuss to smear Fanxing.

It is even possible to attack the artist, thinking that the artist left after being praised by the stars, which is ungrateful.

There are not many such cases, and Fanxing is founded by Cao Xuan and has continued to produce excellent works in recent years, so it has certain fans.

Although Fanxing disdains this kind of sound, why not do it if he can avoid it.

Holding a farewell party allows everyone to get together and part ways, the artists and the company are decent, and there is no so-called "bullying of artists" or "ungratefulness". It is a public response to the termination of the contract and avoids wild guesses from the outside world.

Many times, if you don't respond, these people will be very excited. If you talk openly, they will no longer be interested.

And seeing the company's attention and the artist's reluctance to give up, sensible people also understand what's going on. Heizi can't lead the rhythm even if he wants to.

In addition, another benefit is to win over people's hearts and send off old artists and employees in a dignified and peaceful manner, which is a good comfort and encouragement for the current company's artists and employees.

Whether you continue to work with the company, or you want to change jobs or start your own business one day, you don't have to worry about anything else.

The company will not make any small moves. As long as it is reasonable, legal and reasonable, everyone can break up peacefully.

In the same way, if Fanxing has a serious dispute with the artist who left, he may even go to court and make the artist miserable in private.

The company's artists are so sad that they don't say it, but in fact they are disloyal. No one will be willing to do their best for the company in the future.

You can say this is a scene, but sometimes this sense of formality is needed...

The effect of this farewell party was even more significant than Cao Xuan imagined. After the farewell party, the company's top artists Hu Ge, Damimi and Fan Xiaopang successively signed contracts.

Hu Ge signed in 2016 in one breath, and Damimi signed in 2015.

Fan Xiaopang did not sign for such a long time. The contract was drafted to end in 2012, but the two parties also signed a supplementary clause.

If Fan Xiaopang leaves one day and sets up a personal studio or company, Fanxing will take 10 to 30% of the shares in exchange for various supports and relative resources.

It can only be said that Sister Fanxing is still smart and ambitious. She has no intention of working for Cao Xuan for the rest of her life, but she also has no intention of joining other companies.

If she breaks up with Fanxing, she will only start her own business and exchange her own interests for resources with Fanxing.

With Fanxing's thigh, even if she is not treated as a biological daughter, she is still considered a goddaughter. She cannot eat meat, but there is no shortage of bones and soup.

Liu Tianxian didn't move. Her contract with Fanxing had already been extended until 2015, and Fanxing's first sister was appointed after Fan Xiaopang left.

The premise is not to let Damimi counterattack and overtake...

………

On August 18, Liu Feiren withdrew from the competition, causing an uproar both online and offline.

Compared with the one-sided public opinion four years later, 2008 was actually better. Although many people expressed disappointment, there were also people who supported Liu Feiren.

No one believed that he did not want to participate in the Olympics, but the current situation was unpredictable and no one could do anything about it.

Cao Xuan undoubtedly supported Liu Feiren, and even called on everyone to face it calmly, and even called Liu Feiren himself to comfort him.

Before that, Cao Xuan actually reminded Liu Feiren to pay attention to injuries, but this aspect is really something that cannot be paid attention to by others. The coach and himself understand the seriousness of injuries better, but they can't help themselves.

With the Olympic Games halfway through, China is far ahead in the medal list and gold medal list, and the domestic sports atmosphere is unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

The new English single "Hall of Fame" prepared by Cao Xuan in advance was released as scheduled after the MV was edited with many Olympic clips added.

"Hall of Fame", also known as Hall of Fame in Chinese, was co-sung by the famous Irish rock band Hands and Black Eyed Peas member William Adams. It was released in 2012 and topped the British music charts.

The inspirational and passionate melody singing, rap and lyrics make this song extremely charming, full of passion and emotion.

The most familiar song in China is probably the 2013 ending theme of "World Football", and it is one of the few songs that can perfectly reflect sports.

It is worth mentioning that the intro and part of the melody are somewhat similar to "My Sky" from the Southern Expedition and Northern War that many people are familiar with.

Of course, it is still controversial whether the two songs were inspired by each other or plagiarized.

However, Cao Xuan has encountered this kind of thing more than once. Since there is a dispute, then let's put it all together. It was all "written" by someone like Cao Xuan, so there is no dispute.

he...tui!

The title of the song "Hall of Fame" is translated as "Hall of Fame", but it does not refer to the NBA Hall of Fame, but generally refers to glory, which can also be understood as extraordinary achievements in sports.

The lyrics contain personal efforts and struggles, the struggle for the country and the people, and the yearning and longing for the championship. It is very appropriate to use it in the Olympic Games.

Cao Xuan finished this song a long time ago, but has never released it, mainly because he did not release it at the opening ceremony of the domestic Olympic Games, and he also wanted to accumulate some Olympic material.

Now that the opening ceremony is over, the song will not have any impact. The Olympic Games are more than half over, and the material is almost gathered, so it can be released, which will add another fire to the Beijing Olympics.

I broke my promise and will make up for it tomorrow.
