143 The King's Wife and the Man Who Rejected Qiong Yao
The news that Cao Xuan became the king of golden songs quickly spread to both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Film, television and music awards sometimes help artists achieve success, and sometimes artists can also expand their popularity.
Take the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards for example. Before this, the mainland people really didn't know much about it, and even some ordinary fans didn't pay much attention to it.
On the one hand, they don’t care. Many people listen to the song and don’t even know who the singer is. Who cares what awards the singer has won.
On the other hand, information was not flowing and there were barriers between each other. Not to mention that the Internet was not developed at this time. Even if the Internet became popular later, many Taiwanese people still thought that the mainland was too poor to afford tea eggs.
The popularity of the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards in the Mainland is entirely due to Jay Chou and his group of singers. Several new generation of kings and queens fans compete with each other. In addition to sales, awards are also an important factor.
In addition, the top ten hits in Hong Kong are played by oneself, and the major music awards in the Mainland are divided into pigs. And the most critical thing is that they are held intermittently and have poor credibility.
As a result, the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards have slowly become the most valuable music awards in the Chinese music world.
Nowadays, the influence of the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards is mainly in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia. In the mainland, only some fans or those in Guangdong and Fujian provinces know about it.
But this does not mean that the Golden Melody Awards are not popular. On the contrary, in today's strong entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Golden Melody Awards have their own style.
In the past, no mainland artist won an award, so the mainland media didn't bother to report it, and the public didn't care about those golden singers they had never heard of.
But this time it was different with Cao Xuan.
Our mainland singers defeated a lot of Taiwanese singers and won the Taiwanese Golden Song King. Isn’t this worthy of praise?
Last year Naying was shortlisted for the "Best Mandarin Female Singer" nomination, and a group of mainland media were there to flatter themselves, saying that she had made history.
Now that Cao Xuan has won the Golden Song King, he is so proud that he would be sorry for the press card in his pocket if he doesn't brag about it.
"Making history, the first mainland singer wins the Golden Melody Award"
"The new king is gaining momentum and wins awards"
"This night, Cao Xuan is the light of the mainland"
"He proved to the mainland pop music scene that Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are not the only ones in the Chinese music scene"
"The only mainland singer to win this year's Golden Melody Award, I saw a retrograde figure from behind"
"..."
The mainland media went into a collective climax and praised Cao Xuan to the sky.
There is no way, the mainland pop music scene has been so suppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan, it finally made a comeback, and everyone has to vent.
In fact, it's not just the mainland media. After this year's Golden Melody Awards were awarded, Hong Kong and Taiwan also exploded.
The media in Hong Kong didn't take it too seriously to watch the excitement and fanned the flames, while the media in Taiwan were more chaotic.
Many Taiwanese media criticized the organizing committee of the Golden Melody Awards. They questioned why Cao Xuan should be awarded to a mainlander. At the same time, some were angry that Cao Xuan did not come to receive the award. This was because he disrespected the organizing committee and the award should be cancelled.
What's more, they directly and radically stated that it was Warner's public relations success that spent a lot of money to buy the award for Cao Xuan, and some connected it with politics, calling the organizing committee a lackey.
Of course, there is opposition as well as support.
Last year, Cao Xuan's "Sparkling Stars" once again won the annual album sales championship. It was also very popular in Taiwan Province, and its appearance in Taiwan shocked the entire island and created a phenomenon-level popularity.
All of this has given Cao Xuan a high degree of popularity in Taiwan.
Many Taiwanese media felt that Cao Xuan deserved the award. In order to refute those Taiwanese media who objected, they directly presented Cao Xuan's various sales, music critic reviews, chart rankings and other data to prove that among the five candidates for the Golden Melody Award, Cao Xuan
Xuan is in an absolutely overwhelming advantage position.
Only one award [Best Mandarin Male Singer] was awarded, which is too small. It makes sense to win all four nominations.
Some artists Cao Xuan knows have also come forward to support, such as Ren Xianqi, Jiao Enjun, Alyssa Chia, Fei Yuqing, Jiu Kong, etc.
Xiao Zhou also spoke for his elder brother, but he was so quiet that no one paid attention to him.
However, the ones who showed the craziest performance had to be Cao Xuan’s fans.
People in later generations have seen the horror of online violence by fans in the fandom, but at that time most of them only dared to beep online, but these days, star-chasing boys and girls dare to go to the streets to fight.
They have little access to the Internet, are not bombarded by a large amount of information, and are not tempted to climb the wall by a large number of handsome boys and beautiful women. They are simple-minded. As long as they fall in love with one person, they will not only be loyal but also vicious.
As the most popular pop singer nowadays, Cao Xuan not only has the personality of a "creative talent", but also has good looks and is also good to his fans.
He expresses his gratitude to his fans for their support on various occasions. He is also very fond of his fans on a daily basis. When he meets fans, he will take photos and sign autographs. He will also reply to letters in person from time to time. I cannot say that he is the best idol in the entertainment industry, but his attitude towards his fans is absolutely sincere.
Under such circumstances, Cao Xuan has countless fans on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, three places, and even half of Asia.
The Four Heavenly Kings, Wang Fei and others may still be far behind with their deep roots, but among the younger generation of singers, their number of fans is absolutely unparalleled.
If the hot chicken media dares to scold my brother, I will rush him straight away!
It's easy to make crazy calls and busy lines, but it's easy to go to the newspaper office directly to block the door, put up slogans to protest, spray loudspeakers on the street, and even prepare to throw paint.
In the end, even the person involved, Cao Xuan, couldn't stand it anymore. As soon as Warner contacted him, he immediately issued a statement through a major Taiwanese newspaper, calling on fans to calm down.
In general, the mainland media carnivaled, the Taiwanese media mingled together, the Hong Kong media watched the fun, and foreign media such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore also reprinted the report.
Cao Xuan won the title of Golden Melody Singer, and the Golden Melody Award took advantage of Cao Xuan's fame and this turmoil to spread its influence in the mainland.
To a certain extent, it’s a win-win situation for everyone...
………
And being crowned the King of Golden Melody Singer has also done a lot to consolidate Cao Xuan's position in the music world.
At the same time, there is also a sequelae, that is, countless reporters came to stay at "The Swordsman".
Even though Cao Xuan had already accepted multiple interviews with the media, he still did not persuade the media group to leave. A group of people held a camera and followed the crew to the theater to finish work. Even after the crew got off work, they sent people to keep an eye on him.
Zhang Dabeard was extremely happy. In addition to being strictly guarded during the filming stage for fear of leaks, he very much welcomed reporters to increase the exposure of "The Swordsman".
Cao Xuan didn't feel so good.
He originally promised Zeng Li to take her out for some fun during her break from filming, but now a group of reporters are staring at her every day, not to mention having fun, and even getting close to her in private is no longer possible.
Cao Xuan and Xu Qing met after finishing work that day, and they went back to the hotel together. They chatted about the script on the way, and were photographed by reporters. Then the newspaper published a scandal.
"Falling in love because of drama? Cao Xuan and Xu Qing are suspected of being in love with siblings"
Zeng Li did not escape, and was reported several times. In addition to her, Miao Yiyi, who played Yue Lingshan, and Chen Lifeng, who played Yilin, also appeared on the gossip pages with Cao Xuan.
Fortunately, the actor who played Ning Zhongze was a little older and married, otherwise he might have suffered from the "malignant hands" of the media.
But the above four scandal targets are enough. I know that Cao Xuan is acting in "The Swordsman", but I don't know that he is Cao Daguan filming "Golden XX"...
However, if the media focuses on one person and makes articles frequently, Cao Xuan may still have a headache, but if a swarm of random reports like this is made, not many readers will believe him.
However, even so, Xu Qing and Zeng Li, who had relatively more exposure, succeeded in getting a bad reputation in the gossip media.
Especially for Zeng Li, this is not the first time she has been involved in a scandal with Cao Xuan. Coupled with her experience as the heroine of Cao Xuan's MVs for many consecutive times, she has been branded as "Cao Xuan's rumored girlfriend" quite heavily.
Many relatives and friends called to inquire, especially Zeng's mother, who was very concerned about whether her daughter had really won the big star Cao Xuan.
Relying on Cao Xuan's fame and aura, Zeng Li has become famous, and is even more famous than Hu Jing, who works hard in filming.
After all, the latter is currently only broadcasting one film, "Da Ming Gong Ci", and she is still a minor supporting role with few scenes. Zeng Li is the "Sister-in-law of the Heavenly King" speculated by many media.
However, "Sister-in-law of the Heavenly King" Zeng Li was not used to the sudden fame and deliberately avoided being with Cao Xuan these days.
It didn't take long for Cao Xuan to live in a sweet world together, and he got together with Wei Zi and Zang Jinsheng, a group of gentlemen who had just joined the group.
But what worried him the most was that Hu Jing had reacted coldly to him in the past few days and was obviously angry. Cao Xuan thought about taking some time to go to Qin Province to visit a class and calm her down.
A bowl of water must be leveled...
Cao Xuan was tired of dealing with the golden song king and the scandal. At the critical moment, someone else came out to add fuel to the fire.
I don’t know if she took Cao Xuan’s popularity seriously and deliberately hyped it up. When Aunt Qiong Yao went to visit the crew of "Love in the Rain", the film crew broke a shocking news to the media.
When the crew was preparing for the film, Qiong Yao wanted to invite Cao Xuan to play the first male lead, He Shuhuan, but Cao Xuan declined.
According to an insider, this is the third time Cao Xuan has rejected Qiong Yao.
Cao Xuan refused to play the role of the eunuch Little Stool in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1", and he also refused to play the role of Xiao Jian written specifically for him in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2".
Qiong Yao originally thought it was because Cao Xuan didn't want to play the second male lead, but this time he was asked to play the male lead again in "Love in the Rain", but he was rejected again.
King Cao Tianwang rejected Aunt Qiong Yao three times!
It instantly made headlines in major news, and some media speculated that Cao Xuan did not act in Qiong Yao's drama. The first two films may be due to schedule, and "Love in the Rain" is because he does not want to play a scumbag.
Someone asked Cao Xuan about this statement, but Cao Xuan denied it.
He even played Ximen Qing, who kidnaps his wife and kills her, and still cares about He Shuhuan, who is just a mere character.
The reason for not acting was due to scheduling issues. He had already accepted "Swordsman" beforehand, and the filming coincided with "Love in the Rain".
In addition, Cao Xuan made a special statement that the role of Xiao Jian was not written for him, but for Huang Haibin.
When "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1" was released, Qiong Yao wanted to cast Huang Yan, but he missed it because of the schedule. Later, Qiong Yao specifically cast Xiao Jian in "Huan Zhu Princess 2", but because of the schedule, she found Cao Xuan later, and the schedule was also available.
conflict.
This time, He Shuhuan and Qiong Yao were indeed the first to look for Cao Xuan. After Cao Xuan refused, they looked for Huang Haibin and Zhou Jie, but they both missed. Finally, it was Gu Juji's turn.
Therefore, Cao Xuan was not the only one who rejected Qiong Yao three times. Huang Haibin also rejected Qiong Yao's invitation three times.
Cao Xuan deliberately favored Huang Haibin in this way, not only because he did not want to confront Qiong Yaotai, but also for the sake of "Journey to the West". Huang Haibin was the leading actor in the crew, so high exposure would be beneficial to the sale price.
If "Love Is Deep and Rainy" wants to catch on to Cao Xuan's popularity, don't blame Cao Xuan for backhandedly marketing "Journey to the West" with Qiong Yao.
I don’t know who takes advantage more, but Cao Xuan doesn’t suffer any loss...
