China Entertainment 1997

Chapter 64 Soaring appearance fees and paparazzi



On October 26, Cao Xuan officially finished filming on the set of "Little Li's Flying Knife". He briefly got together with Wu Jing and others before returning to the capital.

From the time he joined the cast in late September, Cao Xuan filmed in Hengdian for almost a month.

However, although he is no longer in the world, there are always legends about him in the world.

Throughout October, the major music charts were still dominated by Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi.

Although the two of them did not fight as fiercely as in September, they have been fighting fiercely. Together they occupied 6 songs in the top ten, still maintaining an absolute advantage.

This also resulted in the reputation of [Nan Ren Bei Cao] becoming more and more famous, and his momentum was catching up with the Four Heavenly Kings.

The only thing that made Cao Xuan a little regretful was that the undefeated golden status of "Fairy Tale" was finally broken.

"Sad Pacific" topped the charts twice, and Wang Fei's new song "Red Beans" also topped the charts.

Although "Fairy Tale" quickly regains its position every time, it also proves that "Fairy Tale", which was released nearly half a year ago, is no longer crushing everything before.

However, considering that "Fairy Tale" stayed at the top of the list for a full half a year, Cao Xuan's regret turned into satisfaction.

Talents come from every generation, and the same goes for songs. There is no song in the world that is always popular.

"Heart Is Too Soft" was so popular last year, wasn't it counterattacked by "10,000 Reasons", and "Fairytale" and "Twilight" cannot escape the day of being replaced by other hot new songs.

However, judging from the current situation, the popularity of "Fairy Tale" will not decline rapidly for the time being. At least before the end of the year, it will still remain in the top five, or even higher.

Cao Xuan's new album is expected to be released around the middle of next year. At that time, "Stars" is almost coming to an end, and the two albums will seamlessly succeed each other.

………

After arriving in the capital, Cao Xuan returned to Dashi to make a hutong.

He first put [Jing Wuming's Sword] and [Li Xunhuan's Flying Knife] sent from the crew in his collection room, and then ran to the studio to pick up Wangcai and Laifu.

Speaking of these two dogs, Cao Xuan originally worked as a housekeeper and nurse in the courtyard, but they didn't really spend many days in Dashizuo Hutong.

There is no way, Cao Xuan goes out for running every day, no one at home feeds the dogs, so he can only send them to the studio. Now the two dogs eat and drink with the studio employees every day, and now they are almost fat.

The guard dog looked lonely, and Cao Xuan now disliked Wangcai and Laifu even more.

Even the ham sausage that was always a reward every time he came back was gone. The two angry dogs started rolling around in the yard and even dragged Zhang Chongsha to the ground.

Then not only was the ham gone, but also the dinner was gone, and the next day there was a dog leash hanging around his neck...

After teaching the two dogs a lesson, Cao Xuan wanted to take the time to go to Zhongxi Theater to see Hu Jing and Zeng Li, but Jiang Yue blocked him before he could go out.

"Ancestor, you have to make money."

Jiang Yue's eyes almost turned into ¥, and her tone was full of trembling: "Do you know how much the outside world is offering you for commercial performances? 150,000, this is still the lowest price. As long as you nod, there is no cap on the minimum of 200,000."

"so much?"

Cao Xuan was a little stunned. At this price, he could count all the 10 people in the mainland who could get it, and those from Hong Kong and Taiwan must also be top-tier.

Of course, this is about ordinary commercial performances, and some are special circumstances. For example, the price of the red event that Cao Xuan received last time was several times higher than that of ordinary commercial performances.

There are also some local tycoons who spend millions of dollars to hire celebrities.

But firstly, this kind of situation is relatively rare, and secondly, it is difficult to guarantee that you can get money for this kind of commercial performance.

Most of the commercial performances that celebrities receive are handled by professional acupuncture companies. Customers will not easily default on their bills, and safety is relatively guaranteed.

But this kind of private invitation is hard to say. You rush over and finish the performance, but they say they are short of money and won't give it to you. They are all local snakes who take advantage of both black and white, and you have no tricks at all.

This is still based on money, some financial losses, and the celebrity will be finished if he suffers a dumb loss. If someone is interested in you, that will be troublesome.

Cao Xuan had no connections before and only dared to accept commercial performances in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Later, when he became popular, some professional companies came to contact him, and Cao Xuan only accepted commercial performances in other provinces, and he was very cautious in choosing clients.

It's not that no one spent money to hire Cao Xuan to perform. A nightclub in a county town in Black Province opened and offered Cao Xuan 2 million to perform two songs.

Cao Xuan and Jiang Yue inquired about each other's backgrounds and declined decisively. They probably could get the money, but if they got involved, they would have to wait for an inventory later.

Therefore, no matter how high the price of these special commercial performances is, Cao Xuan will easily refuse to accept them. Only a very small number of people with no problem will Cao Xuan agree to go.

"Don't look at how you and Ren Xianqi are doing in the rankings. That group of media are hyping up every day like crazy. Now the outside world has almost equated you with Ren Xianqi. Even if it is a little worse, it is not much different.

Ren Xianqi is the most popular king in Taiwan. Except for those top tycoons, no one has a higher appearance fee than him. If you are tied with him, 200,000 is too little for me. When you go to the Spring Festival Gala, you will have to raise it again. Ichiban. "

Jiang Yue smiled happily. She never dreamed that her development would be so smooth after leaving her husband's company.

Although she, as an agent, does not have the right to take a share of Cao Xuan's profits, she has performance. For any project negotiated by her, Cao Xuan will give her a bonus based on the income.

It is no exaggeration to say that after working with Cao Xuan for a year, Jiang Yue made much more money than her husband Han Qi. Her family status increased so much that even her husband's family looked down upon her.

Jiang Yue is now holding back her energy to make more money to buy a bigger house for her family next year, so that she can feel proud in front of her husband's family and her relatives and friends.

With this goal in mind, Cao Xuan was just a salted fish, and Agent Jiang had to stew him with stimulants and chicken blood.

Seeing such an agent who only wanted to make money, Cao Xuan was also inspired to work enthusiastically and began to accept commercial performances in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

As for places further afield, Cao Xuan now has to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala program and the theme song for "Little Li's Flying Knife", so he really can't leave.

………

After two laps in the capital, Cao Xuan found that he was indeed very popular now.

In the past, when he went to commercial performances, he met very few fans, and most of them were accidental.

Now he performs commercial performances, and many of his fans are present. There are also people who have organized groups to carry banners and posters for him. They wave their hands or sing along to Cao Xuan's melody, almost turning the commercial performance into a small concert.

There were also more radical fans who didn't give up after watching the commercial performance. They chased after Cao Xuan's car, crying and howling, until they were separated for life and death.

There were a lot more paparazzi around him. In just two days, Cao Xuan saw several groups. Even if they were caught and sent away, new people would immediately replace them.

Cao Xuan called Gao Mingjue, the paparazzi he met back then, and he was told that he was now a famous person and the media wanted to get some news from him.

Some major entertainment newspapers have already offered a price of RMB 10,000 to RMB 30,000. As long as they find something exciting about him, they will pay immediately.

Now the paparazzi are pointing at Cao Xuan to make a fortune. Even if Cao Xuan talks to them one by one, he can't get rid of these people.

When Cao Xuan saw this, he simply ignored them. During the day, he would perform or go to the recording studio. At night, he would go home to talk on the phone and sleep, letting the paparazzi follow him and start a war of attrition.

As time went by, the paparazzi who had not been able to keep up could no longer stand it and turned to others.

There are few who have the perseverance to persevere, and there are not many of them. With Cao Xuan’s experience, he can easily cope with it...
