Beijing, the editorial office of an entertainment newspaper
The small office of about 50 square meters is crowded with seven or eight people. Some people are writing hard, while others are playing with cameras, making phone calls and sorting out the materials on the table.
"Okay, thank you."
The middle-aged reporter who made the call put down the phone in his hand and waved his hand excitedly.
"Comrades, according to news from Beijing Radio Station, the on-demand rate of "Love Because of Love" surpassed "Can I Hug You" and reached the top of the list."
"Wow!"
The reporters in the office were a sensation. Ever since "Love Because of Love" ranked second, Zhang Huimei had been holding her down, and today she finally broke through the blockade.
"It still needs to be Cao Xuan who can play. Naying released a new album and rushed for nearly two weeks, but the result is not worth a single by Cao Xuan."
"Then what you said, among our mainland singers, Cao Xuan is the one with the most momentum."
"That's right. Last year, when the Southern and Northern Caos battled, the media said that it was bright for a while. It was to give Ren Xianqi face. Whether it was the sales rankings, popularity, or even the Spring Festival Gala performances, Cao Xuan always had the upper hand."
"Okay, Xiao Jing, we all know that Cao Xuan is amazing, you fans, don't fight for him."
"Although this song "Love Because of Love" is good, it is still not as strong as last year's "Fairy Tale". I wonder if Cao Xuan can hold his ground."
"That's right, "Did Someone Tell You" won the first place before, but it turned around and was snatched back by others."
"This is not something we can discuss. Let's catch up on the manuscript. It's just time to add some heat to Cao Xuan and see if we can increase our strength. The more lively the two of them fight, the better our newspaper will be sold."
"Don't forget Naying, although she is the third child of ten thousand years, but there are many people and it is lively."
"I was abused last year, but this year seems to be more or less auspicious."
"Haha, let her not accept my interview last time, I feel comfortable."
"You kid really holds a grudge, but I like it, oops, two months of summer vacation is too short, I wish they could fight until next year."
""
The situation in this editing room is not an exception. Many media who have paid attention to this summer battle in the music world are now like New Year's Eve.
There is no way, Naying is weak.
The battle between the queens of the two days was almost one-sided, and there was a squib, which made everyone excited for a long time.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan played steadily and finally continued the scene of the battle.
The most popular male singer in the Mainland vs the most popular female singer in Taiwan
No, we can't forget about Na Ying, it should be Cao Xuan vs Shuangtianhou, or Zhang Huimei vs the most popular male and female singers in the Mainland.
Anyway, no matter who vs who, as long as there is heat, the media will confess them
And Cao Xuan did not disappoint the media and the people who eat melons.
After "Love Because of Love" reached the top, it quickly gained a firm foothold.
Although it did not directly dominate the list like last year's "Fairy Tale", it still maintains an advantage over "Can I Hug You".
Throughout the week, the two songs competed fiercely at the top of the chart, and "Because of Love" stayed at the top of the chart for about 70% of the time.
The summer battle, the first battle was won!
But Zhang Huimei is not a vegetarian. Soon, Fenghua Records behind her announced to the public.
Zhang Huimei held fan meetings or concerts in many provinces and cities in the mainland in late July, and there were many celebrities who assisted in the performances, including but not limited to Tao Jingying, Lin Zhiying, Fei Xiang, Huang Lei and others.
These are basically artists under Fenghua Records or have cooperated with them, and their momentum is not small.
Coupled with the Gongti concert that shocked the whole country at the beginning of the year, Zhang Huimei's popularity soared, and she returned to the top of the list again.
Cao Xuan really can't do anything about this trick.
Of course he can also follow suit. It¡¯s hard to say about Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mainland can still invite some artists to stand on stage, not to mention that Cao Xuan has Warner behind him.
Although Warner's previous acquisition of flying saucers caused a large number of personnel changes and a serious decline in strength, with Cao Xuan's hot performance last year, Warner has returned a wave of blood.
It may not be enough to fight against several other large record companies at the same level, but it is absolutely no problem to bully Fenghua Records, which is slightly weaker.
But Warner can't do that.
Because Zhang Huimei is Zhang Yusheng's apprentice, the deceased has passed away, but the entire Chinese music scene is full of his contacts.
If Cao Xuan and Warner gather people to fight with Zhang Huimei, will they gain the reputation of bullying "orphans and widows"?The music industry must give face to the late Zhang Yu.
Therefore, no matter how lively the leaderboard is, it is a reasonable competition, and no one can pick anything.
However, if one clique is formed to engage in confrontation, and one is not good, the matter will easily get out of control.
So Cao Xuan didn't join in the fun at all.
Naying, on the other hand, followed the school and hired Wang Fei and a few friends to help her promote her punches, but they were all small troubles. In addition, she was being suppressed and beaten by Cao Xuan and two people, so not many people paid attention to her.
Although Cao Xuan didn't invite anyone to cheer him on, he still had a killer move hidden in his hand.
On July 18, "Sparkling Stars" officially began to be released nationwide.
Many new songs such as "The First Dream", "It's What You Need", "Those Years" and "Never Call a Man" have been released.
At this time, many people realized that the former Cao Xuan was still holding his arms, but now he is the ultimate form of Cao Daguan
Several title songs of last year's "Starry Stars".
"Fairy Tale" and "Twilight" are outstanding, "Running" is slightly inferior, "Angel's Wings" and "Autumn Doesn't Come Back" are relatively weak, and there is a gap in quality between them.
In this year's Cao Xuan's new album "Sparkling Stars", the quality of each title song is relatively more even.
Each song list may not have the kind of strength that sweeps everything, but it is enough to fight. It may be insufficient in singles, but it is good at encircling and suppressing group fights.
On July 20th, several title songs of "Sparkling Stars" were listed one after another, and most of them ranked very close.
"The First Dream" was the first to break into the top ten, followed by "It's What You Need" and "Those Years".
On July 22, "The First Dream" reached fourth, "Love Is What You Need" fifth, "Those Years" sixth, and "Love Because of Love" ranked second.
Surrounded by Cao Xuan's four songs, Naying shivered.
However, Cao Xuan didn't keep Naying waiting for long. Several songs in succession had already boosted the popularity of the album.
Soon, the next few songs began to climb up the charts.
On the morning of July 23, "A Dream" was blown away by "The First Dream".
Immediately afterwards, in the afternoon, I was blown away by "Love is not a last resort".
On July 24, "Those Years" worked hard and completed the triple explosion.
The popularity of "A Dream" plummeted, and two days later, the gradually popular "Don't Say Heroes" was exploded.
Counting the previous "Love Because of Love" and "Did Someone Tell Me", the song "A Dream" was hit seven times by Cao Xuan's new album.
If other songs from Na Young's album are included, this number will be doubled.
Na Tianhou was numb.
And the media, which is not a big deal to watch the excitement, also borrowed a line from "A Dream" to tease Naying, who was full of confidence before.
