For the first time in this World Cup, 32 teams participated in the competition. In the opening game, Brazil defeated Scotland 2:1.
Cao Xuan, who had just held a signing event in Changshan, Hebei Province, watched the match with Zhang Chong at the hotel.
Zhang Chong deeply regrets that Ronaldo did not score.
This guy actually doesn't know football, but he has heard of Ronaldo, so he automatically becomes a Brazilian fan.
What impressed Cao Xuan the most was the theme song of the World Cup "The Cup of Life" sung by Reading March.
Speaking of which, when Cao Xuan was promoting his album, he received an interview from the media. The reporter happened to be a football fan. He heard that Cao Xuan also watched football, so he asked him to predict the semi-finals and champions of this World Cup.
Cao Xuan really remembers this, he was the prophecy emperor once.
The Netherlands, Croatia, Brazil, and France made the semi-finals, Brazil and France entered the final, and the final host France won.
Cao Xuan vaguely remembered that after he finished speaking, the reporter looked like you didn't understand football.
France and Brazil are fine, the Netherlands is also reasonable, what the hell is Croatia, aren't Germany, Italy and Argentina good?
Later, the reporter really posted Cao Xuan's prediction. After Cao Xuan saw the report, he really wanted to see what the reporter's expression was like after the finals.
Cao Xuan has no interest in gambling, the butterfly effect is not a joke, and now he is not short of money, so there is no need to take risks and become a gambling dog.
However, it is also quite interesting to act as a wave of prophets once in a while. It doesn't matter if you guess correctly and get blown up, but you lose.
Perhaps in a few years, in addition to the Chinese fan circle, there will be two more memes.
Cao Xuan stayed in Ji Province for five days, sold almost 30,000 albums, and then went south to Lu Province.
The people in my hometown still support Cao Xuan.
According to Warner's statistics, the areas where Cao Xuan's albums are sold the most are Beijing and Tianjin. This is Cao Xuan's base camp after his debut, and he has the most fans.
After that came Lu Province. The old family scolded Ximen Qing, but they were not ambiguous at all when they should pay for it.
This time Cao Xuan is also considered a homecoming, and he worked very hard at the signings. He stayed in Quancheng and Dao City for a week, and then temporarily added two signings at the tobacco market, with a total sales volume of more than 80,000+.
Many of them are not fans of Cao Xuan, or they are only listening but not buying and pirate fans.
After Cao Xuan held a signing event in the local area, many people knew that Cao Xuan was from Lu Province, and their fellow villagers burst into love, and they bought one or two tickets to support them.
? When the traffic was not developed, there were very few travels between places, and most people had a strong sense of locality. It is something to be proud of a big star in one's own province or city.
Even later, with the development of transportation, the concept of locality gradually faded.
However, there are still many people who have an instinctive feeling for the stars in their hometown who have their own hometown filters.
By the time Cao Xuan left Lu Province and rushed to the next province and city, the total sales of "Starry Stars" had exceeded 700,000, and it was less than two months before the album was released.
Several title songs of the album continue to dominate the major music charts.
"Fairy Tale" has been at the top of the list for more than a month, and "Twilight" is also extremely solid at the second place.
On the contrary, the competition for the third place is fierce. Naying's "Conquer" is persistent and tenacious, but "Run" also has strong stamina, and has been rushing towards the third place.
In addition, Hongkong singer Gigi Leung released her masterpiece "Coward" in June, and Karen Mok and Wu Bai jointly released "A Strong Reason". The two songs quickly reached the top ten and threatened "Run" and "Conquer".
The popularity of "Angel's Wings" and "Autumn Doesn't Come Back" has dropped slightly, but they still remain in the top ten.
With such terrifying sales and achievements of "Starry Stars", half of the Chinese music scene was shocked.
No one thought that Cao Xuan, the clown who was ridiculed by everyone last year for being too self-confident, would be so heaven-defying in his first album.
This term was brought up again by everyone, but it was different from the ridicule and encouragement of the previous two times.
This time, everyone really recognized that these two people are singers of the same level.
Perhaps, Cao Xuan is not as good as Ren Xianqi for the time being.
But with his explosive potential now, no one would think that Cao Xuan is not worthy to be tied with Ren Xianqi.
? Even the Taiwanese media with a vicious mouth said a few words bitterly, saying that Cao Xuan's album sales are all in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not popular at all, but they dare not say that Cao Xuan is a bad boy of Pengci.
FragranceThe media, on the other hand, was happy to see the jokes, and they kept making fun of the Taiwanese media being slapped in the face by Cao Xuan in the newspapers, which made Cao Xuan accumulate a wave of popularity in Xiangjiang.
Now I want to invite him to make a restricted-rated movie, and the salary is less than 5 million, so I am humiliating myself.
The mainland media is even more contrary to the previous follow-up, and has a very high evaluation of Cao Xuan, directly defining Cao Xuan as a representative of the new generation of singers in the mainland, and a key figure in the future of the mainland music scene to resist the torrent of Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment.
Even Cao Xuan himself couldn't stand the exaggeration of the words, and suspected that these people were not flattering him, but trying to flatter him.
Sony, who almost reached a cooperation with Cao Xuan before, is now even more regretful.
But now, I can only watch Warner eat a lot of oil, not only reversed the previous decline, but also initially established a firm foothold in the mainland market, leading other record companies by a large margin.
Because of this, Zhou Jianhui, the head of Warner Bros., is now eager to confess Cao Xuan, calling him three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.
have you eaten?
Are you tired?
what's the weather like?
How did you sleep?
Must pay attention to the body?
Cao Xuan compared the frequency of his calls to Hu Jing and Zeng Li, and he felt that he was a cold scumbag.
Of course, the dignified president of Warner Greater China is not just idle to chat with Cao Xuan. Zhou Jianhui still wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Cao Xuan.
If it was just a strong intention before, now seeing the sales of "Starry Stars", Zhou Jianhui is bound to win Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan is not in a hurry about this matter.
Although the cooperation with Warner this time is good, other major record companies have also thrown generous olive branches at him. It is better to shop around and decide who to cooperate with.
Personally speaking, Cao Xuan is more inclined to Warner. After all, he has a good foundation for cooperation. In the case of the same or even a small gap, Warner is the first choice.
The album was a big hit, which brought Cao Xuan a very high popularity bonus, and also won many film and television invitations.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, sometimes the distinction between singers and actors is not so clear. It is very common for singers and actors to sing, and singers to perform.
Many excellent singers are also good actors, and what they pay attention to is omnipotence.
However, in today's mainland, there is a clear distinction between singers and actors, and there are not many people who live in film and television songs, and Cao Xuan is considered an outlier.
More importantly, although Cao Xuan had a higher achievement as a singer, he couldn't hold back Ximen Qing, who was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Many people heard Cao Xuan's name and knew he was a singer, but when they saw his face, most people's first reaction was Ximen Qing.
There is a well-known role as a background, so many directors and producers do not regard him as a singer alone, thus ignoring his identity as an actor.
On the contrary, after learning about Cao Xuan's information, many people are eyeing his popularity.
When Ren Xianqi was the hottest last year, people in Taiwan and provinces asked him to play Yang Guo.
Cao Xuan has acting experience, outstanding appearance, and super popularity, he is a sweet pastry that is hard to find even with a lantern ?
