The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 470 Grammy nomination, recognizing Liu Yifei as goddaughter? !

When December of 06 came to an end.

The potential of "Curse of the Golden Flower" has been basically exhausted.

in the country, a movie’s box office bonus period is basically two weeks.

After this time, a large number of pirated resources will appear on the market.

This cannot be changed even if the public in China has become aware of copyright under Zhang Chen's deliberate guidance.

The reason is that people's living standards need to be improved.

Someone said on the Internet that although he lives in poverty, he is also qualified to pursue his spiritual needs.

These people need spiritual satisfaction to offset the stress of life.

Even in some things, the existence of piracy has greatly promoted the popularization of some universal values, so that people do not live in ignorance.

So to a certain extent, due to the times, the existence of piracy also has certain benefits.

Of course, for the film production teams with vested interests, the existence of piracy is a huge cancer in society.

Weibo
@张伟平: First of all, congratulations to "Curse of the Golden Flower" for its record-breaking box office performance, reaching 3.5 million RMB, allowing Yimou to return to the throne of the mainland movie box office champion. However, when will the domestic movie piracy resources be like the music market? The movie market has suffered greatly over the years, and I strongly urge the relevant departments to take action to control these rampant pirates!
The same old question.

Basically, as soon as Zhang Yimou's movie is released.

Zhang Weiping would yell at the media.

Now that the Internet is so developed, Weibo has basically become an important platform for all people to exchange ideas. Zhang Weiping also vented his dissatisfaction on Weibo.

Regarding this kind of thing, netizens are divided into two groups:
"The domestic music market is basically monopolized by Morning Music. Whether it is the musicians who write songs, the singers who sing, or even the companies that produce albums, the upstream and downstream are basically led by Morning Music. Only such a strong company can accomplish such a thing."

"You want to eliminate piracy in the domestic film market? Then what should we watch?"

"A movie ticket costs more than 10 or 20 yuan, and you are not even willing to pay this little money?"

"It's funny. When did you get the illusion that Chinese people can easily spend a dozen or twenty dollars to watch a movie?"

"This is not just a dozen or twenty yuan. When Curse of the Golden Flower was shown in Beijing, the ticket price was 160 yuan. On the premiere day and thereafter, the ticket price was about 50-70 yuan. Other regions generally charged between 50-70 yuan. There was also a limited edition hardcover collector's edition gold ticket package, which cost 100 yuan. This is about four times the current movie ticket price!"

"It's because of Zhang Yimou's reputation that I still miss his Hero. I thought this movie could recreate the glory of that movie, but the result was disappointing."

"Many fans feel that if the ticket price for Curse of the Golden Flower was not so high, the box office performance would not be so ideal."

"You're talking as if the tickets for the Hero movie were cheaper then. I remember the ticket price was around 02 in 50, while it seemed to be around 30 in other cities."

"By this calculation, the current box office of this movie needs to be discounted by half to be comparable to that of 'Hero' at that time?"

"We don't know yet how Curse of the Golden Flower will perform at the North American box office. If it does well, it could even surpass Hero, but if it doesn't, Zhang Yimou will be in trouble."

"I remember that the average price of a movie ticket for Love was only 40 yuan at the time, so Zhang Weiping's claim of returning to the box office champion is still a bit exaggerated."

"This is just the domestic box office. The global box office revenue of Love has exceeded 3 million US dollars. It is basically impossible for Curse of the Golden Flower to surpass this number."

"So do you think Curse of the Golden Flower has a chance of winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?"

"Hanging!"

"I think if Zhang Chen is willing to help, this movie still has a chance of winning the Best Foreign Language Film award."

"Zhang Chen has a wide network of contacts in the United States. I heard that many movies there need to hold parties to win awards. Zhang Chen has such a good relationship with several major Hollywood studios. I also think there is hope if Zhang Chen is willing to help."

The public started talking about the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower", and suddenly someone mentioned whether Zhang Chen could help Zhang Yimou win an Oscar.

Then, the next day, a large number of reports about the Grammy nominations suddenly began to appear on the Internet around the world:
【After many years, they returned to the Grammy Awards with overwhelming momentum! 】

[The 49th Grammy Awards nomination list was announced. Six of Lyon's ten songs were nominated, with a total of more than 10 nominations! ]

【There are two Chinese musicians nominated for Grammy Awards this year. Song was nominated for "Best Classical Crossover Album". Lyon was nominated for all popular Grammy awards and also won three of the four major comprehensive awards. The Chinese song "I Believe So Much" and "Sugar" and other songs from the same album were nominated for "Best Recording"! 】

[Chinese music is recognized by the Grammy Awards for pop music for the first time! Zhang Chen will make history again! 】

[Written in the history of Chinese music! Zhang Chen received a Grammy nomination for a Chinese song. This year's most anticipated award was born! 】

【Let the world hear the voice of Chinese songs! Zhang Chen has been in the music industry for many years and has finally made his native language songs known to the world music scene! 】

[After being recognized by the US Billboard Singles Chart, Zhang Chen once again entered the Grammy Awards with a Chinese song! ]

[Will Leon break his promise of "no longer participating in the Grammy Awards" because of the Chinese songs being nominated for the Grammys? 】

For a time, Facebook overseas and Weibo in China were all filled with news about Zhang Chen being nominated for a Grammy again.

"Oh my god, Zhang Chen has turned the Grammy Awards into a stocking ground, right? He still wants to go?"

"What's the big deal? Stars, directors, and actors who have won many international awards still attend every awards ceremony!"

"How can it be the same? For someone as famous as Zhang Chen and Michael Jackson, what's the difference between attending this kind of award ceremony and bullying a child?"

"Don't forget that Zhang Chen is only in his early twenties, younger than most of the people participating in the Grammy Awards. How can this be considered bullying a child? He is a child himself, okay?"

"Can Zhang Chen's twenties be the same as other people's twenties? Many celebrities who are older than Zhang Chen are considered Zhang Chen's juniors, okay?"

"Anyway, Zhang Chen has given us a surprise. We can finally see Zhang Chen once again overpowering a bunch of big Western stars at the Grammy Awards."

"You're all focusing on the wrong point, right? I think the main reason why Zhang Chen returned to the Grammys was to get nominated for a Chinese song, right?"

"Jay Chou mentioned privately at the time that if Zhang Chen was nominated for a Grammy with a Chinese song, he might be able to return to the Grammys again, and his words really came true."

"Chinese music is going global. Zhang Chen can't never attend the Grammy Awards because of what he said, right? Then wouldn't Michael Jackson also attend some award ceremonies when he had the chance?"

"Will Zhang Chen and Teacher Song join forces this time, two of China's top musicians, to compete in the Grammy Awards together?"

"It's not like Zhang Chen is making a breakthrough. What's the difference between this guy going to the Grammys and going home?"

"Anyway, this year's Grammy Awards will eclipse all other awards in the world. What a good plan!"

"They need attention, too. What could be more eye-catching than the world's youngest music superstar returning to the Grammys after so many years?"

"It doesn't matter what Zhang Chen sings at the Spring Festival Gala this year. I'm really looking forward to Zhang Chen winning a Grammy Award for a Chinese song. It's so exciting!"

"Why do I feel that the song 'Finally Waiting for You' is better? Why is 'I Believe So Much' nominated?"

"The Grammy Awards also have preferences. In fact, even in love songs, Western music tends to favor a positive view of love. Therefore, domestic sad love songs have a market in China, but when they are sold abroad, people will think you are pretentious."

"Why do you care whether Zhang Chen's song was nominated? As long as a Chinese song is nominated for a Grammy, that's fine."

Fans around the world are not surprised that Zhang Chen won the Grammy Award. If one day it is revealed that Zhang Chen's song was not selected for the Grammy Awards, that would be bigger news.

It was also within their expectations that Zhang Chen received so many nominations.

Who can blame the fact that the album "Love" has sold over 4000 million copies, especially the single "Sugar", which has been downloaded over million times on Morning Light Music.

It would be abnormal if the Grammys didn't give me a nomination.

Just like what many people recognized back then.

As long as Zhang Chen releases an album, the Grammy Awards can prove their authority by awarding Zhang Chen.

It is not that Zhang Chen’s status as a world superstar can be confirmed only by obtaining Grammy’s “recognition”.

The offense and defense of both parties have already changed!
For Chinese people, when Zhang Chen participated in the Grammy Awards for the first time, the attention paid to this award was placed on the same level as the three major European film festivals.

But over the years, many directors and actors have been able to make it to the three major European film festivals.

But in music, only Zhang Chen can make it into the Grammys.

So for the Chinese people, Zhang Chen's return to the Grammy Awards has once again aroused their pursuit of the Grammy Awards.

how many years.

After waiting for Zhang Chen's new album, Zhang Chen's fans can finally see Zhang Chen sweep the Grammy Awards again.

Perhaps the only suspense for them is whether Zhang Chen's Chinese song can really take home the award after being nominated. This is the Grammy's "Best Pop Album"!

There has never been a Chinese song nominated for a Grammy.

But those are fringe awards and are not comparable to "Best Pop Album" at all.

It can be said that Zhang Chen made history again.

Media around the world also reported on the incident under the influence of the Internet.

For a while, Zhang Chen's news popularity completely overtook a certain strong man who was also hanged today.

It is impossible to say that Zhang Chen was completely unaware of all this.

Because if you want to be nominated for a Grammy, you must first sign up yourself.

So when Zhang Chen asked his team to sign up for this year's Grammy Awards, he knew that when the nomination list was announced today, it would cause a sensation around the world.

Even he did not expect that the Grammy Awards would break the long-standing prejudice because of him and really nominate his Chinese song.

"It looks like you're going to the Beautiful Country with Teacher Song this time?"

"Aunt, why do you think I will definitely attend?"

"If you don't want to participate, would you still sign up?"

Zhang Chen was speechless in response to his aunt's question.

In fact, he had already decided that if there was no nomination for a Chinese song at the Grammy Awards this time, he would simply give up receiving the award, because he was too busy rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala.

However, the award given by the Grammys gave the Spring Festival Gala the green light and they even invited Zhang Chen's aunt to come and persuade them.

It can be said that the whole of China is now looking forward to Zhang Chen going to the Grammys and bringing back a trophy for everyone with his Chinese songs.

Not to mention the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, even their superiors have clearly stated that it doesn't matter whether Zhang Chen can make it to the Spring Festival Gala in the end, everything should be based on Zhang Chen going to receive the award.

This is how much importance many people in China attach to Zhang Chen’s nomination.

"Teacher Zhang Chen, why don't we sing any new songs during the Spring Festival Gala? Instead, we can just use this Grammy-nominated song, "I Believe So Much," to wish everyone a happy new year. This song has a good meaning!"

During the chat between Zhang Chen and his aunt, Jin Yue, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, who had been hiding in the corner and not daring to speak, carefully put forward his ideas.

In his eyes, if this song could be sung on the Spring Festival Gala, it would definitely be loved by people all over the country.

Who made this song get Grammy recognition?

This is the pride of the people of the whole country.

This Chinese song, which was recognized by the Grammy, the world's highest music institution, allowed Zhang Chen to wish everyone a happy new year on the live broadcast stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

It has to be said that the ideas of Spring Festival Gala director Jin Yue are still worth referring to.

But Zhang Chen has a different opinion.

"I've already broken my own promise, does Director Jin want me to break another one?"

"Does Teacher Zhang Chen have any other promises to us?"

"Although I didn't say this, the people of the country all assume that I will sing new songs on the Spring Festival Gala every year. If you let me sing old songs, how will those people who wait in front of the TV every year for my new songs think of me?"

"You also said that this is tacitly acknowledged by everyone, but you never admitted it."

Jin Yue looked like a tough guy.

He still insisted that Zhang Chen sing "I Believe So Much" on the Spring Festival Gala

He felt that there was no Spring Festival Gala more exciting than this one.

Any other performance would pale in comparison to this Grammy-nominated song.

"I know what you're thinking." Zhang Chen directly exposed Jin Yue's thoughts and said helplessly, "It must be a new song. It can't steal the limelight from other performers who have been preparing for a year."

"This"

Jin Yue was in a bit of a dilemma.

But think about Zhang Chen's status, which has suddenly been greatly elevated in the eyes of some people today.

He really didn't dare to go against Zhang Chen.

If it were any other Spring Festival Gala performer, he would have dared to cancel the show directly.

But Zhang Chen is the cornerstone of the ratings of every Spring Festival Gala.

Even without the king of sketches, there is still crosstalk, which has suddenly become popular in recent years, to replace it.

Anyway, in the past two years, there has been a lot of discussion about who is everyone’s favorite language program.

Crosstalk, which has been passed down for many years, and sketches, which have only been developed for a few years, are in fierce competition.

As the director of the Spring Festival Gala, there are a lot of audiences who will buy into whoever he chooses.

But Zhang Chen is different.

Zhang Chen’s new song for the Spring Festival Gala has been the hottest topic discussed during the past 10 years.

If he loses this award, his job as the director of the Spring Festival Gala will be over.

After realizing this, Jin Yue stopped insisting and said to Zhang Chen with a smile, "Okay, Teacher Zhang Chen still cares about those ordinary performers."

Zhang Chen waited until Jin Yue left before turning to look at his aunt: "I always feel that this matter is a little abnormal."

"It's a little abnormal."

"It came too suddenly, and the amount given was too much."

"Ah."

"So should I go?"

"Scared?"

"To be honest, a little bit."

For a moment, the room fell silent.

Knock knock knock.
A knock on the door interrupted Zhang Chen and his aunt's thoughts.

Zhang Chen and his aunt looked at each other, and after getting the other's consent, he shouted to the door: "Come in."

"Zhang Ke! Brother?"

Liu Yifei came in with a smile on her face and wanted to rush to Zhang Chen, but when she saw Zhang Chen's aunt, she lost her temper and shyly said hello: "Auntie"

"Zhang Chen, how about..."

"Aunt, please tell me."

"I accept Yifei as my goddaughter?"

"Um?!"

"what?!"

Zhang Chen was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he heard.

Liu Yifei had a dazed look on her face and blinked, not knowing what to say.

　Isn't this identity a bit too big?
