489 Asian concerts and the debate between the high and the low(2/2)
Lao Cao's family is about to import a new baby, and the baby's milk powder, clothes, and diapers all cost money. Empress Nishigong can't work for a short time, and the family life is very stressful.
So, Cao Tianwang is so delicious!
Moreover, he waited for Saudi Arabia for several days, hoping that they would not be lonely. Unfortunately, they waited and waited, but in the end they did not come. Cao Xuan could only regretfully set the number of Asian concerts to twenty-two.
Domestic tickets are basically sold out now, and Asian tickets have not started yet.
Needless to say, the income is not to mention the 8 million US dollars in Dubai and Qatar. The concerts will directly repay the money from advertising and other copyright income.
Even Fanxing is internally considering whether to hold more concerts as the income would be extremely considerable.
Cao Xuan woke them up directly. He made more money this time because he met two wealthy people who were stupid and rich.
According to normal logic, leaving aside all expenses and shares, Cao Xuan only made tens of millions from this Asian concert, which cost him hundreds of millions.
It seems like a lot, but if Cao Xuan spends this time and energy on any project, it will cost more than this amount.
What's more important is that I'm tired.
This is a large-scale concert in front of tens of thousands of spectators. The performance cannot be sloppy, and the body and mind are involved. It is bound to be more tiring than usual.
There are twenty-two concerts in a month. Cao Xuan feels a little weak when he thinks about it. It is enough to come once in a while. It is really normal. He is afraid that he will not be able to see his son grow up.
He heard that Zhang Tianwang held more than 100 concerts a year, with an average of less than one every three days. He really didn't know how he managed to hold on.
Fanxing Building, boss’ office
Cao Xuan looked at a large list of concert programs in his hand and called Jiang Yue: "All the singers in the company will be guests at my concert. You can allocate them among them."
Jiang Yue was pleasantly surprised. Cao Xuan's concert guests were still very popular. Many well-known singers were eyeing them. Even if they were company singers, she didn't dare to expect that they could all attend.
Cao Xuan, on the other hand, is very calm and does not want his wealth to go to outsiders. Anyway, he has many concerts and the number of people can be spread out.
"Those who are good at English should practice more on a daily basis."
"what do you mean……"
Jiang Yue is getting more and more surprised. Could it be that the boss wants to lead everyone to counterattack the European and American music scene and bring out a few international superstars.
But it was obvious that she was overthinking it. Cao Xuan was not as big-hearted as she was. He really thought that international stars were just cabbage, and could be wholesaled at will.
"No matter what, it won't hurt to let them brush their faces more."
Moreover, although Cao Xuan has many friends in the European and American music circles, not everyone can be called upon, and the number of people may not be enough. It is better to let his own singers and artists take over, which is more or less a chance.
After securing the concert guests, Cao Xuan asked again: "How is the Spring Festival Gala over there?"
Nowadays, Star Artists has many singers, and many of them want to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
Normally, Cao Xuan might have helped. Before this year, he was really not in the mood to ask about his grandma's affairs, but he still saw the Stars artists during the rehearsal, so he asked.
As the head of the artist management department, it is quite important for a singer to attend the Spring Festival Gala, and Jiang Yue has always paid attention to it.
"Several singers such as Yao Beina and Huo Feng sang "My Wife, Husband, I Love You", Gu Miaomiao, Zhang Shaohan, and Joey Yung sang "Fairy Tale Town" solo in a unit, and Xue Zhiqian and Qi Wei sang your song "You Will Marry Me Today."
By the way, Li Yugang, the winner of "Tomorrow's Star", was also invited to the Spring Festival Gala to sing the song "Along the River During Qingming Festival" written by you."
What Jiang Yue said is quite informative.
Yao Beina comes from an orthodox background. Although she signed a contract with Fanxing, she is still very popular and can squeeze into the Spring Festival Gala with a little effort.
Gu Miaomiao's popularity is getting higher and higher, and she has firmly established herself as the mainland's little queen. Her peers Zhang Shaohan and Joey Yung are currently the most prominent female singers in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The Spring Festival Gala put the three of them together, which to a certain extent meant acknowledging Gu Miaomiao's status.
Xue Zhiqian became famous with "Serious Snow" last year, and Qi Wei also became popular with "Tomorrow's Star" and "Painted Heart", especially "Painted Heart", which took advantage of the popularity of "Painted Skin", and its popularity can be surpassed
Top ten in 2006.
The two of them were popular at the time, and it was normal for them to be invited to the Spring Festival Gala. They just didn't know why they sang Cao Xuan's song "You Will Marry Me Today."
Could it be that because Tao Zhe and Cai Yilin sang this song at the Spring Festival Gala, it was revised by history?
Cao Xuan was a little confused, but he didn't take it to heart. Li Yugang was not a company artist, so he didn't pay attention. Instead, he was a little confused about another thing.
"I remember seeing Dao Lang and Phoenix Legend during the rehearsal. Was it rejected?"
Jiang Yue nodded, with a bit of dissatisfaction on her face: "They are all those people who are full of food. They are engaged in a dispute between elegance and vulgarity, which has implicated Phoenix Legend and Dao Lang."
Daolang released two new albums in 2006, including "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", "Love Is You and Me", "West Sea Love Song" and other widely sung songs, which sold millions.
Phoenix Legend also released a new album in the second half of 2006. The songs included "Free Flying" and "Waiting for the Rose of Love", which greatly increased the number of downloads of ring tones.
Their exposure and popularity may not be as high as those of Gu Miaomiao and others, but in terms of real results, apart from Gu Miaomiao, others like Xue Zhiqian, Zhang Jie, Zhang Liangying and others are all behind.
Based on the song's popularity and influence, Daolang and Phoenix Legend have every hope of appearing in the Spring Festival Gala, but it's a pity that they are too controversial.
The so-called controversy actually started at some point this year. Some musicians, music critics and so-called professional fans began to criticize online songs, and then expanded to the ranks of saliva songs, represented by ringtone songs.
Those people commented that the lyrics of these songs were vulgar, nutritious, and could not be considered music at all. Their existence was an insult to the pop music world and was going backwards.
The work styles of Legend of Phoenix and Daolang just hit the target of this group of people, and were regarded as typical, with crazy output.
Of course, Phoenix Legend and Daolang are not without supporters. On the contrary, there are many netizens who support them.
Although many musicians in the industry did not speak out for various reasons, Cao Xuan directly defended his shortcomings, saying that music should not be divided into elegance and vulgarity. What is vulgar or vulgar cannot be decided by some people.
Because of this incident, he even made a small vendetta.
At that time, the music scene was divided into elegance and vulgarity, and even the music and art circles joined in the fun. A certain little black fat guy became a typical example and was crazily opposed to the three vulgarities.
The one who suppressed Little Hei Fatty was the leading boss in the music industry, but Cao Xuan, who was also the leading boss in the pop music world, chose to protect his shortcomings and stood on the side of the majority.
Although many people think that Cao Xuan took action because Daolang and the others were under the banner of Fanxing, but comparing the two, it becomes clear who has a higher profile and more magnanimity.
Moreover, while he is against the three vulgarities, Cao Xuan's opinion on whether it is vulgar or not is not something that can be decided by just a few people.
Although the two parties are not talking about the same thing and are of different natures, when put together they are a slap in the face.
However, Cao Xuan didn't care about this, so he didn't expect that Daolang and others would still be affected. To be on the safe side, the Spring Festival Gala director team dismissed them.
Cao Xuan frowned. He actually didn't like these people very much. He only knew how to push them if they were not good enough.
In the early years, Cao Xuan also received a lot of criticism, but his "style" was changeable, ranging from saliva songs to high-quality and in-depth songs. The label could not be pinned on his head, and it did not form a big trend at the time.
Nowadays, with the rise of the Internet and ringtone songs, there is a saying that the lyrics are indeed more straightforward and simple, but except for some marginalia, many songs have nothing to do with vulgarity, and everything cannot be killed with one stick.
In fact, even Cao Xuan agrees with some of those people's views, but hates their condescension, frequent labeling, and one-size-fits-all attitude.
Just because they don't like it doesn't mean others don't like it.
Hundreds of millions of people in the society's sinking market are also fans. These people don't like to talk, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Cao Xuan touched his chin: "It's a pity, the Spring Festival Gala song has been decided, otherwise I would have to sing a song to respond to them."
However, just because you can’t sing in the Spring Festival Gala, doesn’t mean you can’t sing in other places. Just think of it as a way to promote your new album during the summer vacation...
