    Huayu 1997 Text Volume 505 Friends of the South African People and "Crazy Racing" Africa, Johannesburg

    Nicknamed "City of Gold", the largest city in South Africa is also the economic, cultural, and tourist center of the entire country, even second only to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, in the ranking of African cities.

    Moreover, Cairo is superior only because of its population and city size. Considering the city's economy and prosperity alone, Johannesburg is even better.

    Cao Xuan's African station concert was held here.

    In fact, at first someone proposed to go to Cairo. After all, it is the largest city in Africa. However, the official language of Egypt is Arabic, while English is the official language of South Africa. Cao Xuan has more fans and influence in the latter.

    And to put it bluntly, in the African environment, very few can hold commercial concerts, and South Africa's experience and conditions are relatively more mature.

    Comprehensive comparison, Cao Xuan finally chose South Africa.

    On August 22, Cao Xuan arrived in South Africa by private jet.  At Johannesburg International Airport, I was dazzled by the sight in front of me as soon as I got off the plane.

    Hundreds of citizens/fans cheered enthusiastically, and "Cao, Cao, Cao" with an accent resounded across the land of Africa.

    ? If it¡¯s just that, Cao Tianwang is well-informed, and he has seen a number of fans that are several times larger than this number.

    But he had seen many fans, but the mayor personally led a team to welcome them, and a few children came to present flowers, the gongs and drums were blaring, the ceremony and music were playing together, and there were two military honor guards beside him. Cao Xuan raised his gun to salute.

    tusk~

    Cao Xuan's first reaction was whether he had run into a head of state.

    But thinking that the slogans and cheers of those fans are not fake, it should not be an oolong.

    Therefore, Cao Xuan's second reaction was to ask the photographer who followed him to turn on the camera immediately.

    The face of the card!

    It is not new for him to have a concert with tens of thousands of people, but this is the first time for him to be treated like a head of state.

    If I don¡¯t take pictures of this scene and keep it as a pretense later, Cao Xuan can¡¯t sleep well at night

    Although it is still unclear why this is the case, Cao Xuan immediately entered the role.

    "News Lianbo" is not for nothing!

    Cao Xuan shook hands with the mayor and others, thanked them for their kind welcome, talked with the children kindly, smiled and waved to greet the fans and citizens who greeted him, and signed dozens of autographs for everyone.

    After more than half an hour of tossing around, Cao Xuan got into the limousine car.  Proceed to the arranged hotel.

    When he arrived at the hotel, he finally met Gray, the person in charge of his African concert, and finally asked about the situation.

    As a singer who is giving a concert, isn't this scene a bit too grand.

    Gray was very calm, and said with a smile: "Cao, there are many overseas leaders who come to this country, but there are not many world superstars who hold concerts here. You are too underestimating the sensation you caused when you came to Africa this time."

    Under Gray's explanation, Cao Xuan gradually understood what was going on.

    As I said before, the economy in Africa is relatively poor, and most of the common people don¡¯t have much to squeeze out, and the basic food and clothing are good, but they have little spending power in terms of cultural, spiritual and entertainment.

    If you want to make a fortune from entertainment culture in Africa, it is equivalent to selling toilet paper in India, selling down jackets in Equatorial Guinea, and selling small blue pills by guarding the Han River in South Korea

    Of course that's what I said, but in a bustling city like Johannesburg, it's no problem to hold a few concerts.

    But the point is that it is not necessary. Africa has been excluded from world culture. The general singers have limited influence in Africa and cannot hold a venue. Even if they can hold concerts, it is difficult to realize them.

    Africa is far away and people are poor. No matter how many fans there are, it will not bring much commercial benefit to the singer itself. To hold a concert in Africa, the investment cost may be greater than the benefit.

    99% of singers hold concerts to make money, who will do business that loses money

    Even Cao Xuan, on the one hand, is he particularly concerned about the income of the concert, on the other hand, he has an obsessive-compulsive disorder, coupled with a bit of a pretentious mentality, and wants to gather six continents, so he deliberately held a concert in Africa.

    Warner originally disagreed, but later considered not only commercial accounts, but also publicity accounts.

    Touring six continents + African concerts are full of gimmicks, which can be used to make a fuss, and to a certain extent, expand Cao Xuan's status as a global superstar.

    Even if you still have to lose money in the end, just like this, you can't lose much. If you coax Cao Xuan well, it won't be a loss no matter what.

    As for South Africa and Johannesburg, it is rare for a world-class superstar to hold a concert here, saying¡­?¡¯s North American Summer Party can be said to be one of the strongest summer events in recent years.

    In addition to the three blockbusters mentioned above, a super dark horse "Transformers" was also released in July.

    The box office in North America was 319 million US dollars, ranking the top three in North America this year, and the box office in mainland China also got 281 million yuan, which is currently the first box office in the mainland in 2007.

    At that time, Xinxian wanted to release "Taken" in July, but was stopped by Cao Xuan.

    Otherwise, facing "Transformers" head-on, they would not dare to say that they could win in the mainland, and they would only be beaten in North America.

    After all, blockbuster movies with special effects in cinemas are the most attractive to the audience. No matter how good Cao Xuan¡¯s fight is, it¡¯s not as good as two Autobots fighting each other

    The North American summer vacation is the most important time in the United States, and the fighting is really brutal. After all, Cao Xuan is still a rookie in Hollywood, and his box office appeal is limited, so safety is the priority.

    "Now they are still looking for a suitable schedule, at most no later than the end of the year or early next year."

    "That's okay, it would be embarrassing if it was released together with "Three Kingdoms: Chibi"."

    Zeng Li nodded, and couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, Fanxing is really lucky. Your "Taken" postponement, I thought it would affect Fanxing's reputation as the overlord of the summer show, but I didn't expect Ning Hao to make a "Crazy  "Racing Car", I was holding up my face in a daze."

    Cao Xuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

    The month he went out to hold a concert happened to be the end of the 2007 summer vacation.

    Since 2003, the mainland summer file champion, which has been monopolized by Fanxing since 2003, changed hands for the first time, and was won by "Transformers".

    There is no way, this kind of popcorn special effects blockbuster, ordinary domestic films can't really do it, even if Cao Xuan is the top, it may not be able to win.

    But Fanxing is not ashamed. The second film "Crazy Racing" of its director Ning Hao was released. With the strong support of Fanxing Cinemas, it finally won 150 million box office and won the second place in the summer file.

    Ning Hao and the leading actor Huang Bo became famous in the first battle.

    The former stepped into the director club with a box office of 100 million yuan and became a well-known ghost director in the industry.

    The latter's solid accumulation, coupled with the accumulation of the previous film and television works and the outstanding performance of Zhao Gao in the TV series "Mythology", completely became popular and became another dazzling star under Fanxing.

    And the success of "Crazy Racing" also proved one thing, without Cao Xuan and those Xiangjiang directors, Fanxing could still come up with blockbuster movies.

    Maybe "Crazy Racing" is not as influential as "Painted Skin" and "New World", but the far-reaching value behind it is immeasurable.

    Cao Xuan has already thought about signing a new contract with Ning Hao. In the future, Ning Hao's status in Fanxing will skyrocket and he will become another director of Fanxing after Xu Laowai.

    Huang Bo's contract can also be included as an option for changes, and a tailor-made movie or TV series is also considered.

    According to Fanxing's unspoken rules, artists who receive such treatment are regarded as the company's key training targets.
