The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 161 Why don't you all come and make a guest appearance?

The MTV Asia Awards is regarded as the biggest annual event and honor in the Asian music scene.

The award brings together music, film, pop, achievement, fashion and other fields, and is freely voted for by music fans from various Asian countries, covering ten Asian regions.

With youth and fashion as the main theme.

The 2002 MTV Awards was also the first one, so once it was announced, it attracted the attention of the best in various fields around the world.

According to sources, there will be awards for the most popular musicians in 10 regions at this awards ceremony.
6 internationally popular music awards, a fashion award, a film award, and an inspiration award.

Among them, the Inspiration Award is to recognize individuals who have had a significant impact on the stimulation and enlightenment of young people's popular culture, or groups and organizations that have made significant contributions to the overall improvement of Asian youth.

Those who have received invitations include most of Asia’s top singers, fashion figures, and film actors.

It can be said that it is an awards ceremony that is comparable in scale to the European MTV and the American Grammy Awards.

At 2:2 pm on February , thirty minutes before the MTV Asia Awards ceremony begins.

It is no exaggeration to describe the Avenue of Stars at the scene as being star-studded.

Especially at this awards ceremony, the actresses all competed in sexiness. Of course, the hot February in Singapore gave actresses from all countries a reason to wear less. Suspenders, top bras, bare backs, feather outfits, it can be said that no one's arms were not exposed.

It can be said that their clothes reveal the word "danger" everywhere.

Amid the strong winds blowing at the scene, women had to constantly adjust their clothes to prevent exposure.

Especially when Karen Mok was walking on the Avenue of Stars, the wind almost blew up her pink nightgown-like skirt, causing the whole audience to scream.

In addition to these eye-catching or "pleasing to the eye" actresses, there were also many people from the fashion and film industries in attendance, including Zhang Ziyi, the representative of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

As she, who is currently very popular, appeared, she aroused enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

"I heard the audience outside shouting Brother Chen's name a long time ago, why did it take so long to get to the backstage?"

"There were a bunch of female celebrities blocking the way ahead. If the security hadn't cleared the area for me, I would have had to stay outside for a while."

After Zhang Chen entered the inner gate, he was blocked by Jay Chou who was waiting at the door.

"These actresses are really..."

After saying this, Xiao Zhou looked inside a few times, and it was unclear who he was referring to.

"Let's not talk about me anymore. How about you? Do you have the confidence to win the award today?"

For the new generation of actors, nothing is more important than winning an award at a grand awards ceremony.

This time, MTV made such a big fuss and invited the most influential stars in Asia to attend the award ceremony. Jay Chou naturally hoped to win one or two among the many big stars.

"I don't have much confidence. The competition is too great. A-mei and the others are here. My influence in Asia cannot compare to theirs."

Zhang Chen also followed Jay Chou's line of sight and saw Zhang Huimei, Mayday, Elva Hsiao and others not far away.

Among the newcomers in Taiwan, these people are indeed the most likely to win the award.

"Let's not talk about me. What about Brother Chen? I didn't even hear that you released a new song last year. How did you think of coming to the MTV Awards?"

"My situation is a bit complicated. As for the new song?" Zhang Chen glanced at Jay Chou. "Wavin' Flag has been played over 40 billion times worldwide and has been watched by over 20 billion people. Do you want to know more about it?"

"Uh, no, no, Brother Chen is the coolest."

For a moment, Jay Chou really didn't think of this World Cup cheering song which is currently popular all over the world. But to be honest, if this song is also included in the judging criteria, then the songs of all the singers on the scene combined cannot beat Zhang Chen's song.

After all, there are so many people paying attention to the World Cup.

As the World Cup is approaching, fans are calling for Zhang Chen to sing this song at the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

So even though Zhang Chen didn’t release any new songs last year, it seemed like he was absent from the music scene.

But there are rumors about Zhang Chen everywhere in the music industry.

Just as Zhang Chen and Zhou Jielun entered the guest seats, the artists sitting on both sides saw them coming in and hurriedly walked up to them to greet them.

"Brother Chen."

"boss Zhang."

"Leon."

"boss."

There was a group of people around, shouting all kinds of names, domestic and foreign, male and female, old and young. After seeing Zhang Chen, they all came up to say hello and made themselves familiar with him.

After saying hello, those artists who felt they couldn't make the connection left tactfully, leaving the empty seats for the real big names.

"Zhang Chen, I finally see you."

"Brother Cheng Long, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I never found the opportunity."

If we were to ask which celebrity artist has the most fans, it would be Zhang Chen and Cheng Long.

Between the two of them, one is active in the European and American music scene, a frequent guest at the Grammy Awards, and has fans all over the world.

One is active in Hollywood and is a guest of honor for major film companies. Even in backward areas, his videotapes can be found.

When Cheng Long first entered Hollywood, he actually wanted to visit Zhang Chen, who was also working in the United States.

In his opinion, although the two people belong to different fields, they are from the same country after all, and their different professions also reduce the worries of competition. They are undoubtedly the best candidates for mutual support abroad.

However, the conflict between Zhang Chen and Xie Tingfeng that year made the relationship between Zhang Chen and Hong Kong Island tense, and also caused Cheng Long to lose interest in visiting Zhang Chen several times.

"I heard that you have also started to enter the film and television industry. When will you play a role in my movie?"

"It's Brother Cheng Long's movie. I'm still young and want to live a few more years, hahahaha."

"That's right, you don't have to fight as hard as the rest of us. Let's have tea together when we have the chance."

"sure."

After exchanging pleasantries with Cheng Long, Zhang Chen finally managed to break away from the crowd of flatterers around him and came to his seat.

The reason why he didn't like attending singing award ceremonies, besides having to deal with the flattery, was that every time when the seating was arranged, there were few people he knew around him.

Xiao Zhou, who was familiar with him, was sitting far away in the back row. Several members of Lincoln Park were also gathered not far away. Because the award ceremony was about to begin, they just greeted Zhang Chen from a distance.

As for the singers from the mainland, most of them are from the older generation.

Zhang Chen and the older generation of singers are not enemies, but their relationship is not very good either.

He repeatedly humiliated these people at award ceremonies. Even if he was not present at the ceremony, he would take away many of their awards, making it difficult for these singers to get close to Zhang Chen.

As a result, he felt like going home before the award ceremony even started.

"Mr. Chen, I am not."

After hearing this awkward speech in Chinese, Zhang Chen turned around and saw the culprit who had attacked him some time ago.

Maybe it wasn't her idea, but it was also related to her. In the chain of suspicion of crime theory, the most typical one is that whoever benefits the most is most likely to be the murderer.

"I heard you've been very successful in recent years?"

"what?"

Zhang Chen spoke in Chinese, so Ayumi Hamasaki didn't understand what Zhang Chen was saying.

"I say, your Chinese is very good!" Zhang Chen said and gave a thumbs up.

"Crab."

Although she didn't understand why Zhang Chen didn't communicate with her in English, but seeing Zhang Chen's actions, she guessed that Zhang Chen might be praising her, so she quickly replied in poor Chinese.

As time passed, it was finally time for the official award ceremony.

Singers from various countries were invited backstage one after another by their own media to be interviewed, asking them to predict which stars from their country would win the awards, which would also provide more material for the program when it is broadcast later.

The first award to be presented is the most popular singer in each country.

Zhang Chen only paid attention to a few people in China.

First of all, Zhang Huimei was the most popular singer in Taiwan, defeating Elva Hsiao, Jay Chou, Mayday, and Wu Bai, successfully proving her position in the hearts of Asian fans.

Then came the most popular singer in Hong Kong Island, where Sammi Cheng defeated Andy Lau, Cheung Hok Yau, Kelly Chen, and Ting Fung Hsieh.
In mainland China, Na Ying snatched the title of the most popular singer from Sun Nan, Yu Quan, Han Hong and Ye Bei.

Zhang Chen thought about it for a while. It seems that these three award winners are all singers under Warner?

Even the Eagle is owned by Warner Morning Light.

Zhang Chen didn't believe it at all if Warner didn't play any role in this.

"Tianhou Temple" lives up to its reputation.

"Next, we will present the award for 'Singapore's Most Popular Singer'. The nominees are
The winner is Sun Yanzi! Congratulations! "

Zhang Chen smiled as he watched Sun Yanzi, looking so proud, go up on stage to receive the award.

"Thank you MTV, and thank you to every fan who loves me. I also want to thank Leon, because he allowed me to sing for everyone at his concert, so that more people know me. Thank you!"

Zhang Chen accepted the thanks with peace of mind. He originally thought this was just an isolated case, but unexpectedly it was the beginning.

"Now we are going to present the International Breakthrough Artist Award. The nominees are
The winner is Linkin Park! Congratulations! "

"If we want to say that our breakthrough was thanks to Leon, it was he who gave us the opportunity to showcase ourselves and allowed us to serve as his band in his concerts."

After thanking MTV and the company, Linkin Park suddenly mentioned Zhang Chen.

When Zhang Chen heard his name, he also sat in his seat and greeted them with a smile.

"Leon, when is your next concert? Keep letting us play in the band!"

Since he didn't have a microphone, Zhang Chen couldn't answer their questions and could only nod to show his approval of the proposal.

"This time the award is for 'Most Popular Fashion Designer' and the winner is Donatella Versace! Congratulations!"

"My proudest work in recent years would be the costume I designed for Leon at his concert. It is my honor to see him wearing it and dancing with Madonna. I hope I can be the costume designer for Leon's next concert."

"." Zhang Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only continue nodding, indicating that he would do it next time.

"So many people here today hope that Leon can hold another concert? Then why don't we give the microphone to Leon and hear if he has any plans, okay?"

The host also noticed that the award ceremony seemed to be going a little off track. A good award ceremony was turned into a "Zhang Chen Appreciation Conference" for three consecutive winners. They could not turn a blind eye to this phenomenon and had to add an interview session on the spot.

Zhang Chen heard the host's words and did not refuse. As a result, the staff handed him the microphone and said:

"I don't have any concert plans in the near future, but if you are interested in acting, you can come to my company's TV series this year and play a guest role?"

After saying this, he returned the microphone to the staff without waiting for the host to ask further questions.

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, many singers who were interested in the screen, including Zhang Ziyi who has already entered the international big screen, became interested.

This is an opportunity to get close to Zhang Chen. I heard that Zhang Chen has already obtained the copyright of Jin Yong's novels and is now in the planning stage. I didn't expect Zhang Chen to send out an invitation here.

Zhang Chen’s idea was very simple. It could be said that this place gathered a group of the most influential people in Asia. Although most of them were singers, in this era, the idea that good singers could also act has been influencing the acting careers of several generations of singers.

There are also many artists who can sing and act.

The host on the stage looked at the guests who were beginning to have a heated discussion and quickly announced the next award: "The next award is 'Asia's Most Influential Singer', and the winner is Ayumi Hamasaki, congratulations!"

If we were to ask who was the most popular singer in Asia last year, it would definitely be Ayumi Hamasaki. In addition to being extremely popular in her own country, her albums also had good sales in other parts of Southeast Asia.

So this time when MTV asked the audience to vote, Ayumi Hamasaki's votes were far ahead of others.

"Thank you MTV, my company Avex, and my fans for loving me."

After expressing her gratitude, she also followed the example of the people before her and mentioned Zhang Chen.

"Mr. Chen, I debuted as an actor. I wonder if I have a chance to star in your TV series?"

Zhang Chen neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked at her with a smile.

If that incident hadn't happened, Zhang Chen would definitely agree with it, but after what happened a few days ago, Zhang Chen had to first deal with the company behind him.

Allowing Ayumi Hamasaki to climb up by riding on her popularity before the matter is resolved is undoubtedly giving Avex a blood transfusion.

When the host saw that Zhang Chen did not respond, in order to avoid embarrassment, he quickly asked Ayumi Hamasaki to leave the stage and began to present the three most important awards of the day.

"The next award is the 'International Most Popular Male Singer Award', and the winner is Zhang Chen!"

All I can say is that it was what everyone expected. No one at the scene was surprised or thrilled.

After that, it was finally the female singer who was welcomed. It was undisputedly chosen by Xiao Tiantian, who has been very popular all over the world in the past two years.

However, when the last award was presented, something unexpected happened.

"Next, we will present the 'Inspiration Award'."

According to the organizing committee, this award will be given to individuals who have had a significant impact on stimulating and enlightening young people through popular culture, or to groups and organizations that have made significant contributions to the overall improvement of Asian youth.

At the same time, this award is the only one that is not voted on.

All the guests at the scene were also very curious about which person or individual at the scene, in the eyes of the organizing committee, could receive this honor.

“The winner is.”

　Here is a 4000-word chapter for you. I originally planned to go out, but changed my schedule at the last minute.

　　This award ceremony will connect with the subsequent plot, so I wrote it out.

　　Who are you looking forward to guest-starring in Jin Yong's martial arts drama?
　　You guys tell me, I'll think about it, hahahaha
