    On August 4th, a comic author named Eiichiro Oda began to serialize his new comic "One Piece" in "Shounen Jump".

    Since then, this comic has been drawn for more than 20 years, and it has not been serialized until the day "Cao Xuan" died

    On the same day, a new singer also appeared on the cover of the latest issue of "Contemporary Music", one of the most popular entertainment magazines nowadays.

    Cao Xuan!

    This is also the first time that a major media has given a systematic and detailed introduction to Cao Xuan, although more emphasis has been placed on "Ten Thousand Reasons".

    As early as late July, the influence of "10,000 Reasons" gradually went out of the radio circle, and it entered the major music charts in several regions of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and its ranking climbed rapidly.

    ?As of August 1st, the more well-known list, "10,000 Reasons" has entered the top five, top three, and even reached the top.

    At this time, "Ten Thousand Reasons" is completely popular in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

    Only then did the scene of Cao Xuan appearing on the cover of "Contemporary Music World" happen.

    And it's not just "Contemporary Music World", many paper media in Beijing have used a certain amount of space to report "Ten Thousand Reasons", adding fuel to the already popular "Ten Thousand Reasons".

    ?With this shareholder style, the Beijing Publishing House.  The first batch of newly produced albums were sold to all parts of the country except Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

    As for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, it has already been taken over by pirated versions

    Although I don't want to admit it, the radio station is undoubtedly the first contributor to the rapid popularity of "10,000 Reasons", but this group of pirates also contributed a lot.

    Lan Qi's genuine tapes and discs sold a total of 65,000+ in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, while the pirated version was at least 500,000.

    This is still a conservative estimate. Many people suspect that there are at least 1 million pirated copies in Beijing. Otherwise, why are "Ten Thousand Reasons" all over the street.

    The momentum was so strong that even "The Heart Is Too Soft" was suppressed.

    In late August, the Beijing Publishing House received good news.

    The sales volume of "Ten Thousand Reasons" is gratifying. Including Lan Qi's previous sales, the genuine sales of the entire single have reached 400,000 copies.

    For a rookie single, this sales volume is terrifying.

    As a songwriter and singer, Cao Xuan suddenly became the favorite of major record companies.

    Not only the record companies in Beijing sent olive branches, but even the major record companies such as Polygram and Sony sent special personnel to negotiate.

    Cao Xuan still has the same attitude, he will not sign a brokerage contract, but other cooperation can be reached.

    Two months ago, Cao Xuan's condition made those record companies scoff.

    But now that he has proved his worth, except for a small number of people who left directly, the rest of the record companies have indicated that they can discuss it.

    A real batch!

    Cao Xuan didn't forget about Lan Qi and his wife, but having said that, Lan Qi's stall is too small, except for the convenience of the radio station, the rest of the conditions are much behind other record companies.

    More importantly, the boss, Han Qi, is not aggressive, and his business is almost like playing tickets.

    ? Jiang Yue is a girl, she has no funds and no contacts, and she is not very proficient in the record industry, so she is unable to support herself after all.

    Seeing this, Cao Xuan simply picked up his hoe and dug up Han Qi's wall

    Don't get me wrong, although Cao Xuan's surname is Cao, he doesn't have any legacy of Wei Wu, and he doesn't have any special thoughts about other people's wives.

    He poached Jiang Yue because he wanted her to be his manager.

    "Ten Thousand Reasons" is very popular. It can be predicted that Cao Xuan may receive many job offers in the future. He must not be able to handle it alone, so he wants to find an agent to help take care of it.

    Through the previous period of getting along, Cao Xuan was deeply impressed by Jiang Yue's character and work ability.

    Treat people with sincerity, be very loyal, and say what you say. Lan Qi has contributed a lot to the 2.1 million from Beijing Publishing House, but Jiang Yue has no intention of claiming credit for it, and strictly follows the prior contract for dividends.

    He is educated, quick and decisive in doing things, but not lacking in delicacy, strong leadership skills, and good at negotiating and negotiating with people. He is a good seed for a broker.

    Of course, Jiang Yue has obvious advantages, but also has many disadvantages, such as lack of relevant work experience as a broker, lack of contacts in the circle, and a slightly irritable temper.

    However, compared to the advantages, Cao Xuan felt that these defects were acceptable.

    Anyway, the brokers in the mainland are actually just starting out now, and they are all groping together.

    Facing Cao Xuan's invitation, Jiang Yue was very tempted.

    "Ten Thousand Reasons" made Lan Qi a lot of money, but to put it bluntly, thisThe answer is that a blind cat ran into a dead mouse, it was pure luck.

    Lack of hard power, coupled with Han Qi's unambitious boss, the profits from "Ten Thousand Reasons" will at most allow Lan Qi to last for a few more years.

    Jiang Yue is an ambitious woman, otherwise she would not have resigned from her university job and came to Lanqi to help her husband Han Qi.

    However, it is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, Jiang Yue made a calculation, and it would be more cost-effective to be a manager for Cao Xuan, who has a bright future, than to stay as the vice president.

    Anyway, Lan Qi is in his own business, so he can't be a broker, so he can still be the vice president when he comes back.

    Therefore, Boss Han likes to mention the achievement of "wife was abducted"

    After Jiang Yue was hired, Cao Xuan gave her a salary of 2,800 yuan per month, and there would be bonus performance for related businesses. If she works hard, she can easily earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

    In 1997, she was able to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, barely considered a gold collar, and as Cao Xuan became more famous, her income would also increase.

    At that time, the influence of "Ten Thousand Reasons" expanded from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to the whole country through the national channel of Jingcheng Publishing House.

    On August 14th, "Ten Thousand Reasons" surpassed popular songs such as "The Heart Is Too Soft", "The Chinese" and "Listening to the Sea" and topped the China Central Radio Pop Music Chart.  champion.

    At the same time, it ranked second in the weekly pop music list of CCTV Music Channel, second only to "The Heart Is Too Soft".

    On August 18, a new week began. After two days of fierce competition, "10,000 Reasons" topped multiple authoritative rankings such as CNR and CCTV at the same time.

    "Beijing Entertainment Letter" issued a headline on the front page, calling Cao Xuan "a surprise given to the Chinese music scene in the summer of 1997".

    This statement has been resisted by some people, who feel that it is too prestige.

    However, some people also expressed their support. Cao Xuan¡¯s sales of a single even surpassed that of many second- and third-tier singers. In this record era, nothing is more convincing than an album that sells well.

    But no matter whether it is support or opposition, everyone must admit that there is another rising star in the mainland music scene.

    Jiang Yue was full of energy, and contacted all over the place, planning to take advantage of Cao Xuan's popularity and take on a few more commercial performances.

    Thanks to the fact that "10,000 Reasons" is in full swing, Jiang Yue contacted Cao Xuan with three jobs without much effort.

    A new company cuts the ribbon for opening, goes up to sing two songs, and the appearance fee is 30,000.

    A certain unit in a district under Jin City held a party for two days, and the appearance fee was 50,000.

    Community charity performance, this one has no money, but it is reported by Beijing TV Station, brushing your face + consolidating popularity.

    In fact, with Cao Xuan's current enthusiasm, commercial performance invitations are far more than that, but Cao Xuan is cautious, and would rather make less money, and choose a safe and down-to-earth one.

    ?The law and order is not good these days, especially in the place where dragons and snakes are mixed. Liu Tianwang has been detained by the society, let alone a newcomer who has just become popular in the music scene.

    Therefore, Cao Xuan asked Jiang Yue to push all commercial performances and activities in other provinces except for the official ones, and the activities were only held in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area for the time being.

    Even so, the tens of thousands of credits made in just a few days made Cao Xuan understand why artists desperately wanted to be popular.

    It's really profitable to be popular.
