Entertainment: Since 1990

Ten years ago, Cao Jian released his first album, and now he has become a star known worldwide.

Besides being a celebrity, he is also an entrepreneur, musician, screenwriter, and director. With these added identities, people who like him not only like his songs but also his experiences.

The fact that a poor boy from the countryside could become a big company and an entertainment mogul in such a short time is legendary.

Of course, all of his songs are very good.

In late December, the wind was biting cold in Chang'an, but the weather did not dampen the audience's enthusiasm.

Lai Ming came, Anita Mui came, Cheung Hok-yau came, and many Hong Kong singers, including Lau Tak-hua and Leslie Cheung, came to support Boss Cao.

Izumi Sakai from Japan and Lee Hyori from South Korea are both must-sees.

Besides them, there are also the Lee Boo-jin sisters.

Tens of thousands of people have brought new life to the ancient city of Chang'an.

This rare spectacle prompted CCTV to send reporters to personally report on it.

On the day of the concert, the entire Chang'an Provincial Sports Center was bustling with activity, and the massive crowds caused severe traffic congestion.

Because the fans were so enthusiastic, the venue was filled with fire trucks and ambulances to prevent accidents from happening due to excessive excitement.

Outside the venue, Yan, who had returned to his hometown, finally met with his old classmate Chen Qian.

Because tickets for this concert are so popular, Yan has been unable to get any so far, and the tickets held by scalpers are unaffordable for her.

Beside Chen Qian was a pretty thirteen-year-old girl.

"This is my niece, Chen Dong."

"Hello Auntie."

"Aunt."

Hearing this title, Yan felt a little depressed, but considering her age, she realized she was indeed already an auntie.

"Oh my, you're even more beautiful than when you were younger."

"What's so pretty about it? We're all getting old."

At this point, Yan did indeed appear more mature and a bit sexier.

"You look absolutely stunning, not old at all."

Chen Qian wasn't flattering her; she was telling the truth.

After chatting for a while, she asked, "With so many people, how are we going to get in? Is it possible to contact Cao Jian?"

"This is too difficult. Are we supposed to stop his car?"

Yan was joking, but Chen Qian thought it was a good idea and said, "That's the only way."

You actually believed it?

"Is there any other way besides stopping his car?"

Looking at the huge crowd, Chen Qian said, "You've always wanted to make movies. If Boss Cao recognizes us, you might become famous."

"I don't want to ask anyone for help."

Although Yan also wanted to see his former friend and witness his current success, perhaps he would eventually give up.

To get Yan to agree to stop the car, Chen Qian joked, "Old classmate, sometimes it's okay to ask for a favor. Maybe he likes you."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Yan did indeed think about the man who had once moved her, but would such a big star be interested in her?

That's absolutely impossible, and I'm already thirty years old.
However, after thinking it over, it seems that this is the only way to go to the concert.

At the hotel, Cao Jian was all ready and was heading to the meeting venue.

"Honey, come on!"

While tidying up Cao Jian's clothes, Wang Fei said, "I heard there are a lot of people tonight. This may be the most influential concert in recent years."

Cao Jian touched his lover's cheek and said with a smile, "Then you should also do your best."

As a guest, Wang Fei will sing "Fleeting Years," a song written and composed by Cao Jian, live tonight, and will also duet with Cao Jian on "Lovers in the World."

"I know."

"Fleeting Years" wasn't a big problem for Wang Fei, but "Lovers in the World" was quite challenging.

"Set off."

After the two finished getting ready, they went outside and saw that the doorway was already filled with beautiful women who had a relationship with Cao Jian.

Boss Cao glanced at the beautiful women and felt a sense of smug satisfaction.

Everyone present was stunningly beautiful: Wang Zuxian was tall and gorgeous, Qiu Shuzhen was charming, and Lin Chih-ling had a model's figure and an angelic face.
Besides these, there's also the beautiful and sweet-voiced Yang Yuying, the stunningly beautiful and commanding Gong Li, the most beautiful woman in mainland China Chen Hong, the peach-like Fan Bingbing, and many more.
As for what kind of relationship everyone has with Cao Jian, everyone knows the answer.

But happiness was written on everyone's face.

"Let's go."

Cao Jian waved his hand and led the group of women downstairs in a grand procession. Then he, Wang Fei, and Yang Yuying got into a car.

Their group, consisting of more than a dozen vehicles, headed to the Provincial Sports Center, escorted by police cars.

"Look, King Cao's car is here!"

Because there were so many people and the security checks were very strict, hundreds of thousands of spectators without tickets or who hadn't been able to enter the venue were gathered outside the venue at this time.

Those without tickets were content with just hearing Cao Jian sing from outside the venue.

"King Cao! King Cao!"

"Cao Tianwang, I love you!"

"We love you forever!"

Before Cao Jian's car even entered the venue, the fans on the roadside were already screaming and shouting wildly, expressing their love for Cao Jian.

In the crowd, Chen Qian watched the convoy getting closer and closer, and seeing that her old classmate seemed to be having second thoughts, she quickly encouraged her, "Go! This is our last chance."

"Last Chance"

Upon hearing this, Yan glanced at Cao Jian, who was waving to his fans through the open car window, and took a deep breath.

He still had that familiar face, still so handsome, and it was still the same city. It felt like the scene of our meeting ten years ago was right before my eyes.

"coming!"

Yan was really going all out. She squeezed to the side of the road and watched as Cao Jian's car prepared to drive into the Provincial Stadium. Suddenly, she jumped over the fence and rushed to the car before the security guard could react. She shouted to the people inside, "Cao Jian, do you remember me?"

"?"

There were people maintaining order along the roadside, and there were fences. Everyone was quite civilized, just cheering and shouting.

Moreover, most people were shouting "Cao Tianwang" (Cao Tianwang), but suddenly someone rushed to the car and shouted Cao Jian's name. This scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Who is this? So fierce!"

"Did you drink fake alcohol? You think you know Cao Tianwang?"

"But she's really fierce."

"This woman is alright looking, could it be..."

While everyone was surprised, they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

The security guards then realized they needed to drag Yan away, so as not to let her affect Cao Tianwang.

Cao Jian, who was in the car, was startled when he heard someone call his name. He quickly recognized the woman not far away.

Over the years, I've lived a very carefree and comfortable life, and I've completely forgotten about Yan, whom I once met once.

After all, ten years can change a lot.

But he never expected that Yan would dare to stop his car in front of so many people. She really is a fierce woman from Northwest China!
At this moment, several security guards had already pulled Yan to her side, preparing to "invite" her out.

"Wait!"

Cao Jian, who was in the car, shouted to the security guards and then said to his assistant, "Have someone take her to the VIP box and tell her that I will come to see her after my concert."

"it is good."

The assistant quickly made a phone call, and soon Yan, Chen Qian, and Chen Dong were led into the VIP box above the stands.

"It really worked! I love you so much!"

Upon entering the private box, although watching the concert here doesn't allow you to be fully immersed in the experience, the sofas are comfortable and there's tea available, making it much more comfortable than outside.

"I didn't expect him to still remember me."

Yan, however, was not excited at all; she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Originally, she really wanted to see Cao Jian, but now she felt conflicted.

Afraid that the other party would look down on them
Meanwhile, Cao Jian went to the lounge and chatted with Wang Fei while preparing.

"Honey, do you really know that woman from earlier?"

"I know her. Ten years ago, before I became famous, I met her once and had a meal together. I never expected to run into her here."

"So you're quite sentimental. I thought it was your old flame, the one you used and then abandoned, who came looking for you." "You're so good at thinking things through."

After chatting for a while, everything was ready, and we were just waiting for the concert to begin.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was seven o'clock. The winter night was very cold, but the enthusiasm of the fans at the venue was rising higher and higher.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a drumbeat rang out, drawing everyone's attention to the stage.

then……

Suddenly, all the stage lights came on, and the curtain slowly rose, revealing a complete symphony orchestra sitting on the stage.

"dong dong dong"

At the scene, a piece of music that no one had ever heard before began to play, accompanied by a symphony orchestra.

The music was grand and majestic, and the images of the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and other magnificent landscapes on the large screens on both sides of the venue, combined with the music, gave everyone a jolt.

"What song's intro is this?"

"It doesn't sound like an intro; it sounds like instrumental music."

"That's right, Cao Tianwang is a famous composer. He has created a lot of instrumental music and soundtracks. The song 'The Original Scenery of My Hometown' is one of his compositions."

"What's the name of that piece of music?"

Just as everyone was wondering, five words appeared on the screen: "Memories of the Forbidden City".

Then, what happened next left the audience stunned.

Cao Jian, dressed in a dragon robe, descended from the sky!

"Wow!"

"He's actually singing while wearing a dragon robe?"

"So handsome!"

Cao Jian's appearance, coupled with the song "Memories of the Forbidden City," gave off a feeling of supreme authority.

"This child is really something, daring to wear a dragon robe."

In the VIP room, Cao Jian's father was somewhat moved to see his son enjoying such a prestigious position.

Looking back, it seems that not stopping my son from going to the South was the right thing to do.

"What's the big deal? When filming, I think I'll wear anything, it's not like it's real."

Cao Wei, who was accompanying them, thought it was perfectly normal; after all, his nightclub was called "Royal Dynasty International."

On stage, only part of the piece "Memories of the Forbidden City" was played. After the grand part ended, the music suddenly changed, as if it were a piece of music that no one had ever heard before.

Just when fans thought it was another instrumental piece, Cao Jian suddenly started singing.

"Following the undulating landscape, with its gentle curves, let love roam freely over the Central Plains, the North, and the South of the Yangtze River."

Although no one had heard this song before, Cao's voice, high-pitched and powerful, immediately transported the audience to a world of war and conquest.

On the big screen, the scenes of the Manchus massacring Han Chinese were shown without any attempt to conceal them.

These scenes are from the TV series "Hero Zheng Chenggong".

Cao Jian arranged it this way, and even put this song first, to express his attitude towards period dramas.

"May the world be peaceful and happy. I really want to live another five hundred years!"

The last few lines left the audience feeling quite excited.

So that's why Boss Cao wore the dragon robe – it was for singing this song.

In the audience and in the private box, Lee Boo-jin, Lee Yi-hyung, and many other women saw their men like this and their eyes were filled with love.

At that moment, he was just like a king.

And she herself was his concubine.
"thank you all!"

After finishing the song, Cao Jian bowed to the audience and said, "You didn't expect this opening, did you? This is a new song I just sang for a TV series, which will be broadcast soon. I hope you will support it."

"must!"

The tens of thousands of audience members responded in unison, with an astonishingly synchronized tone.

Looking at the huge crowd of viewers, Cao Jian believed that the drama "Hero Zheng Chenggong" would definitely be a hit.

Would people still like period dramas with queues?

"Next, I'll be performing my second song, 'Walk Away with Style'."

This song is Cao Jian's signature song.

Cao Jiangang sang two lines, and suddenly the audience joined in a massive sing-along.

But why is that backup dancer on stage so beautiful?

How could she not be beautiful? This girl will become the famous actress Ya Ya in the future, and she just played the role of Xiang Fei in "Princess Pearl 2".

It's just that we don't know each other yet.

The third song is "Love," which Cao Jian sang when he first became a singer.

"Let's link our hearts together."

When the audience heard this familiar melody, many fans who grew up listening to Cao Jian's songs felt a surge of nostalgia.

Almost ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the boys and girls of yesteryear have grown up.

Some people even cried while listening.

This song represents their youth.

Compared to the fans' sentiments, Cao Jian's female fans felt something different. They believed that at this concert, the song "Lover" was sung for them.

Inside the private room, Yan, who is usually all smiles, suddenly couldn't hold back her tears and they welled up instantly.

Ten years ago, in the same city, at the entrance of a cinema, the glamorous man on stage sang this song to himself.

At the time, she also felt that the song was too explicit.

As time has passed, hearing this song again brings back memories that flood my misty eyes.

If I had been bolder back then, perhaps...
"Auntie, why are you crying?"

Chen Dong, a little girl eating snacks nearby, was curious about Yan's appearance.

How could listening to a song make me cry?
Adults are really strange.

But Chen Qian understood her old classmate. She patted Yan on the shoulder and said, "Forget it. As long as he can still recognize us and help you become a star, it's not a waste that we got to know each other."

"Hey"

Yan could only sigh, realizing that Chen Qian's suggestion was indeed the best possible outcome.

On stage, Cao Jian and his fans sang "Love" together, and then the symphony orchestra began to play "The Original Scenery of My Hometown".

This time, Cao Jian didn't play the flute, but instead held an ocarina.

His concerts not only feature singing, but also performances of his signature songs.

Wang Fei was also preparing offstage.

She sat in the car, waiting for her lover to finish playing the piece so she could go on stage.

This is also Cao Jian's way of showing respect to himself as a superstar.

On the other side, Jay Chou seemed a little nervous.

The audience at the event today was absolutely crazy, there were just so many people.

He had no idea what the outcome would be, that his debut would involve singing on such a stage.

SHE was equally nervous.

The song they're performing tonight, "SUPER STAR," is for their boss, Cao Jian.

Because tonight's superstar is Boss Cao.

The melodious "The Original Scenery of My Hometown" captivated the audience. This kind of concert, which combines songs with instrumental music, is perhaps only seen at Cao Jian's concerts.

As the music slowly ended, the stage lights suddenly dimmed, and a laser beam shone directly onto a car parked on the side of the stage.

Pop diva Wang Fei was standing in the convertible sports car.

The car slowly started moving, heading towards the stage.

The woman in the car slowly spoke up: "To fall in love with an angel's flaws, using a devil's language."

The diva's voice is still as beautiful as ever.

Many of Cao Jian's fans also like Wang Fei, since Cao Jian wrote many of Wang Fei's songs.

While enjoying the song, everyone cheered and shouted for Wang Fei. But as they looked in the direction the car was heading, they couldn't help but hope that this superstar couple would see their perfect match. (End of Chapter)
