China Entertainment 1997

On June 1, 1997, to celebrate the return of Hong Kong a month later, Taiwanese artist Ke Shouliang drove across the Yellow River and made headlines on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

It is precisely because of this incident that many mainland viewers know that Cousin Pheasant is so awesome...

However, Cao Xuan had no time to pay attention to this. He was recording "Light Chaser" in the new recording studio Zhang Yibai found for him.

As for why it is not Baihua Recording Studio, it is very simple. Baihua charges a little more expensively. Zhang Yibai spent more than 10,000 yuan on Cao Xuan and did not want to spend more on recording songs.

Cao Xuan didn't care. After all, he paid for it and he was the guest as he pleased.

In fact, if you are not particularly pursuing sound quality, most ordinary recording studio equipment can meet the needs of recording songs.

But having said that, when it comes to producing songs, Cao Xuan will still have to work harder than the previous "Countless Brothers".

The main reason is that the professional standards of the recording studio are not enough. Whether it is audio engineers, recording engineers, or even musicians, it is not even a little bit worse than Baihua Recording Studio. It also made Cao Xuan understand what it means to get what you pay for.

Before, when he was thinking about recording a single, he found a cheap recording studio to save money.

Now it seems that this plan needs to be seriously considered.

Cao Xuan stayed in the recording studio for about a week including accompaniment, mixing, and formal recording.

During this period, Cao Xuan thanked Liu Huan in his heart more than once. If it weren't for Liu Huan's previous guidance and experience accumulated from the last recording of "Countless Brothers", it would have been difficult for him to get the 15,000 yuan.

On June 6, Cao Xuan called Zhang Yibai to come and review the song.

Two hours later, Zhang Yibai rushed to the recording studio with a girl, it was Xu Jinglei, the heroine of "Carry Love to the End".

Xu Jinglei is here to find fault.

Prior to this, Zhang Yibai had decided to set "Light Chaser" as the opening and theme song of "Carry Love to the End", and Chen Ming's "Waiting for You to Love Me" as the ending song.

Xu Jinglei and Chen Ming are best friends. When they heard about this incident, they defended Chen Ming.

I specifically made a promise to Zhang Yibai that when the recording of "Light Chaser" is finished, I would come over and check out the quality.

If he had met Xu Jinglei before, Cao Xuan would have wanted to observe what the "talent" of this top four actress was.

But now he has been working in the recording studio day and night for such a long time. He is physically and mentally exhausted. He just wants to pay the bills and pay the bills quickly. As for other things, he really doesn't have much thought.

But when Xu Jinglei saw Cao Xuan, her eyes lit up.

Cao Xuan was already handsome, but after returning to the capital, he changed his hairstyle and clothes according to the aesthetics that had been transformed by the bombardment of information from later generations. In addition to being handsome, he also had a fashionable temperament.

"Hello, I am Xu Jinglei."

Although Xu Cainv wouldn't immediately leave her best friend behind, her attitude was obviously much gentler than when she first arrived.

"Cao Xuan."

Cao Xuan reached out and shook Xu Jinglei's hand lightly, then immediately stopped and started chatting with Zhang Yibai.

He didn't want to get too involved with this Beijing goddess.

If I remember correctly, this person is now the "open secret" around Wang Shuo. At the same time, he had a spark with Li Yapeng because of "Love to the End".

But Wang Shuo aside, Li Yapeng's relationship with her is somewhat questionable.

Because Li Yapeng's girlfriend at this time is Ke Lan, the same Lu Yike who fell in love with Wu Song in "In the Name of the People".

The backgrounds of these sisters are astonishing. Li Yapeng was able to get where he is today, all thanks to Ke Lan's network resources to help him open up the situation in the early stage.

Anyway, Cao Xuan was very respectful to her and had no other thoughts at all...

However, maybe because she was used to being praised by the big guys in Beijing, the more Cao Xuan kept away from her, the more Xu Jinglei looked at Cao Xuan.

After listening to "Light Chaser", Xu Jinglei, who considered herself a young and artistic woman, looked at Cao Xuan with an even brighter look.

"Cao Xuan, you are really talented. You write lyrics and music yourself, and you sing beautifully."

"That's ridiculous."

"Do you think I'm suitable for singing? I particularly like rock music. I always wanted to be a singer when I was a child."

"You can try it if you have the conditions."

"..."

Cao Xuan was perfunctory with Xu Jinglei, asking Zhang Yibai what he thought, but Zhang Yibai was happy to watch the fun.

While Xu Jinglei was going out to answer the phone, she joked with a smile: "This girl is so enthusiastic, why do you treat her so coldly? It hurts her heart so much."

Cao Xuan rolled his eyes at him: "When I first entered the industry, no one knew she was Wang Shuo's woman. I couldn't afford to offend her."

"Hi."

Zhang Yibai didn't take it seriously at all: "You don't understand, Master Shuo's character, if you and Jing Lei are in true love, he won't stop you.

What people pursue is the kind of spiritual partner whose souls fit together. In real life, you can still find male and female friends, who do not hinder each other and grow independently. "

Cao Xuan: "???"

He savored this passage carefully several times, and he couldn't tell whether Zhang Yibai was sighing with envy or ridiculing.

Anyway, no matter what it means, you have to admire that these city people still have fun.

In one word, be particular about it!

………

Now that we've finished talking, it's time to get down to business.

"Love to the End" has been basically completed and will be broadcast early next year.

We haven't decided which TV station it will be broadcast on yet. The crew is actively contacting CCTV, but everyone is eyeing CCTV as a platform. There is too much competition and it will be difficult to get on board.

The situation at other local stations is different. Some actively contacted, while others turned a blind eye.

At the moment, the one most promising to reach cooperation is Chongqing TV Station, which has just been promoted to a municipality directly under the Central Government. The film and television sub-channels of Beijing TV Station are also willing to introduce.

The Chongqing TV station has not yet become a star, and Zhang Yibai personally prefers to digest it in the capital. Of course, it would be better if both companies can sell it.

There is no "two stars for one drama" rule now. Theoretically, as long as you have the ability, you can sell one drama to ten TV stations.

There was a clause in the pre-contract that Cao Xuan, the singer of the theme song, had the obligation to cooperate with the crew in publicity.

If "Carry Love to the End" is really broadcast on provincial TV stations, Cao Xuan will probably have to travel far away.

Of course, the crew will not let Cao Xuan run away in vain. They will usually give him some travel expenses, and if the drama makes money, he may also get a red envelope.

Zhang Yibai told Cao Xuan in advance so that he could be prepared in case he would not be able to contact him.

After that, Zhang Yibai took the song and left. Xu Jinglei was still a little reluctant to leave, so she asked Cao Xuan for her contact information and agreed to play with him when she was free.

Cao Xuan readily agreed, then turned around and thought of several reasons to let go...
