The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 471: The Death Situation Waiting for Zhang Chen to Be Caught
"Aunt, it hasn't come to that."

"But the danger is right in front of us, and it's not hard to guess."

"Even if I'm entrusting an orphan to someone else, it has to be my child, this girl."

Zhang Chen was sweating profusely.

What is this?
Entrust your child to others before leaving?
Liu Yifei looked at the two of them with an innocent face. It had been some time since she entered the door.

But he didn't understand a word of the conversation between Zhang Chen and his aunt.

What danger? What entrustment?
Still related to her?

Didn’t you say you wanted to recognize a godparent?

She blinked and looked here and there, hoping someone could explain it to her.

"I would like to recognize your child, but you have to have one too."

"I"

Zhang Chen was speechless after being asked by his aunt.

He's only in his early twenties, okay?

Having a baby at this time?
After subconsciously glancing at Liu Yifei, he quickly turned his gaze away.

"Aunt, you don't have to go to the United States."

"No, that won't work. After all, it is an opportunity for our Chinese songs to gain international recognition, and also an opportunity for Chinese culture to go abroad and increase its influence."

"Yes, that's what I came in to say!"

Liu Yifei's sudden interruption made Zhang Chen and the others focus their attention on her.

This sudden attention made Liu Yifei shudder.

But with Zhang Chen's encouragement, she continued, "I was just wandering around the building, and everyone was talking about my brother's Chinese song being nominated for a Grammy."

"What did you say?" Zhang Chen was curious.

"I am proud of it!" Liu Yifei concluded succinctly.

Zhang Chen also fell silent after listening to this.

He still overlooked an important factor - time.

At this time, for many people in China, it is very important to gain recognition from the Western world.

Why are the three major European film festivals so recognized and sought after by the domestic film industry?

The reason is that this is a channel for Chinese culture to go abroad and be seen by people all over the world.

If we can win an award recognized by film industry practitioners around the world, it means that Chinese culture has been recognized by the whole world.

Even the Oscar, a North American award, has won the favor of many major domestic directors in the past two years.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because of the popularity of Hollywood movies in recent years.

The Oscars are a regional award that is not much different from the ones that are basically tied to Hollywood.

The status also rose.

What are the characteristics of Hollywood movies?
In fact, it is its powerful publicity and promotion capabilities.

Able to release their own films worldwide.

Then naturally, the status of the Oscars, which awards awards to major Hollywood films, has also attracted worldwide attention as Hollywood films have become popular all over the world.

For many domestic directors, if they can have a movie that can be released worldwide and sell well at the box office in their lifetime, it is definitely the best way to distance themselves from other directors.

This is not only the output of Chinese culture, but also a symbol of personal honor.

If the films selected for the Golden Rooster Awards are also released worldwide and sell well at the box office, then its status will be recognized internationally.

It’s just a matter of whether an international hit movie is selected for the Golden Rooster Awards first, or whether the selected movie becomes a global hit.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg.

This is hard to say.

But judging from Zhang Chen’s last film “Love”, the Golden Rooster Awards winners obviously look down on movies that sell well around the world.

Limited vision also restricts the development of some film awards.

Although the Oscars have also been criticized to some extent.

But for now, this is not so crazy.

To a certain extent, the Oscars are relatively friendly to both art films and commercial films.

It takes time for an award to gain international recognition.

Since China does not have an award that can be presented internationally, Chinese artists can only send their works to foreign awards and compete for awards that are generally recognized by the international community, or in other words, recognized by the Western world.

So is the Oscars, so is the Grammys.

Domestic music awards, especially pop music awards, have only been around for a few years.

Many music fans in China cannot name any authoritative music awards in the country.

Under the influence of Zhang Chen, many people believe that domestic music awards are a place of fame and fortune for veteran singers to sit in a row and share the spoils.

Under the influence of this concept, Chinese people cannot find an award that they truly recognize, so they can only look abroad.

It was also under the influence of Zhang Chen that they believed that the Grammy Awards was the highest temple of music.

Although Zhang Chen never admitted it or said it.

However, since his debut, the music award that Zhang Chen values most is the Grammy Award.

From Zhang Chen's perspective, it is for his album to sell better, and for his status in the music industry to improve step by step so that he can make more money.

But in the eyes of his fans, Zhang Chen attaches so much importance to and recognizes the Grammy Awards because he recognizes the professionalism and authority of the Grammy Awards.

This has invisibly raised the status of the Grammy Awards to several levels in the hearts of the Chinese people.

In the film industry, everyone thinks that the awards from the three major European film festivals are impressive.

However, when it comes to music awards, Chinese people only know and recognize the Grammy Awards.

This is a concept that Zhang Chen has subtly instilled in the Chinese people over the years.

There are three European Big Three.

As for music awards, there is only one Grammy.

It goes without saying which is more important.

In addition, at this time, China has only been integrated with the rest of the world for a few years, and many people believe from the bottom of their hearts that foreign things are good and powerful.

Especially the worship of Western culture, some people have reached a pathological level.

Gaining recognition from the Western world is more important than gaining recognition from your own people.

This is a subconscious idea held by many people.

This is the limitation of the times and also the characteristic of the current time point.

We have seen many Chinese films winning major awards at the three major European film festivals.

However, Chinese people have never seen a Chinese song win a major award at the Grammy Awards.

The first time is always eye-catching.

So when Zhang Chen's "I Believe So Much" was nominated for a Grammy Award, most people thought it was an honor, an honor that their own culture was recognized by the international community.

Now that the Olympic Games are approaching, the country is trying its best to let the world see the cultural charm of China.

For them, whether Zhang Chen can win the award is already a major event involving the national level.

There can be no room for error!

Zhang Chen has no choice but to take this award!
Even if this award belongs to Zhang Chen.

But on the issue of whether to go and get it, Zhang Chen had no room to refuse.

"Tsk!"

"Do you understand?"

"Must go?"

"Although there are differences in the statements, it is indeed necessary for you to bring back this trophy."

"It's just a nomination." "If you go, you still have a chance. If you don't go, you won't have a chance."

"They were fishing."

"It's possible."

Zhang Chen leaned back and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

This happened by sheer coincidence.

If we also count the call he received from Zhang Yimou when he came in the morning.

What he said implied that he hoped to go to the United States with him during this period of time to see if he could help with his movie and see if there was a chance to win an award.

Now, the Grammy Awards, which Zhang Chen has won so many times, suddenly gave his Chinese song a nomination.

This news has spread all over the world.

It was as if he was afraid that the Chinese people didn't know how groundbreaking it was that Zhang Chen was nominated for a Grammy Award for a Chinese song.

In fact, to sum it up, it seems like they are afraid that Zhang Chen will not go to the United States.

If Zhang Chen takes one of these two things separately, he won't think too much about it.

But if you add to what happened to him some time ago and the fact that he used his reputation to cause the stock prices of several listed companies to fall last month, he cheated a lot of greedy people who had added leverage.

There are too many coincidences.

Zhang Chen had to be wary of going to the United States.

Now the other party gave a reason that Zhang Chen could not refuse.

One is the expectation of the people, one is the dissemination of national culture, and one is the glory of the country.

After several rounds of pressure, Zhang Chen was forced into a corner.

Zhang Chen could imagine what those people would do if he refused to accept the award.

He doesn't think that controlling the vast majority of the world's voice channels can prevent the remarks of people with ulterior motives.

He can shut up those who slander him, but he wants to accurately ban all the water army from hundreds of millions of accounts.
It’s like ascending to heaven.

By then, the fans will be disappointed, the public will curse them, and most importantly,
"Ugh--"

This feeling of being helpless is really frustrating.

"Don't think negatively about everything. What if you went to the United States as a special advisor to the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles?"

"Huh?!" Zhang Chen was stunned.

"This"

It doesn't seem to work?
At this moment, he felt that this dispensable identity of his seemed to be of some use at certain times.

but
Not safe.

He knew very well how tempting tens of billions of dollars could be.

In some people's eyes, he is no different from Tang Monk's flesh.

The identity of Commander Ken is really a big brainwave.

If they were really pushed into a corner, Zhang Chen wouldn't dare to say that this was completely reliable.

All I can say is that it can save some of the dog's life, but not much.

The richer and more powerful a person is, the easier it is to make a scapegoat.

There are also many people who are willing to sell their lives for a large sum of money to give their families a better life.

There is never a shortage of deals in this world that seem ridiculous but are willingly accepted by a few people.

"that."

Liu Yifei raised her hand weakly and said carefully: "I've been listening for a long time. Are you saying that my brother will be in danger when he goes to the United States this time?"

She has now completely recovered from the shock she just had.

At this time, she also realized the meaning of that sentence.

Entrust an orphan to someone else?
Although I felt like I was being treated as Zhang Chen's daughter, I felt like I was being treated as one of the most important people in Zhang Chen's heart.
It’s still beautiful when you think about it.

But now is not the time to make her beautiful.

She listened for a long time. The core issue that Zhang Chen and his aunt talked about was that this trip to the United States would be dangerous.

But this guy Zhang Chen has a reason to go?
Although it is very dangerous for this life-loving girl, she is not a fool.

After thinking for a long time, she finally figured out the key point.

"Just a suspicion." Zhang Chen forced a smile at her.

Just a suspicion indeed.

But this suspicion made him feel terrified.

The other party has a lot of reasons to cheat him.

Even if they don't use the most extreme measures, they can improvise a bill specifically targeting Zhang Chen and detain him the moment he sets foot on the soil of the United States.

Some people become so shameless that they really don't care what people around the world think.

No matter how many bodyguards and security measures you have, it will be useless in this situation.

No matter how strong the bodyguard is, he can’t do anything about the local “arrest warrant”.

His morning music was the best weapon for them to criticize him.

The conquest of these cities over the years has inevitably eroded the interests of small music companies.

When the time comes and the big hat of "monopoly" is put on him, Zhang Chen will have nowhere to appeal.

“If only our country had an award like the Grammys that is recognized worldwide.”

After listening to Zhang Chen's words, Liu Yifei also murmured to herself.

If there was such an internationally recognized award in China, Zhang Chen would not have to risk his life to receive it.

After all, the domestic cultural industry has only been developed for a short time, and without strength it will not be recognized by the international community at all.

"What did you just say?!" Zhang Chen turned around suddenly.

"I say." Liu Yifei was startled by Zhang Chen and shrank back and said, "It would be great if our country had such an award."

"Yup!"

Zhang Chen stood up excitedly and muttered to himself: "If only we had this award, if only we had this award"

"Zhang Chen, is it too late to say this now?"

"Their awards have been around for nearly 50 years. Even if we invest more, it will be difficult for us to catch up with the influence of the Grammy Awards in a short period of time."

"Besides, the awards will be presented in February, and it's too late for us to come up with an award now."

Zhang Chen's aunt felt that Zhang Chen's surprise came out of nowhere.

It is unnecessary and impossible for China to give out any award at this time.

Not to mention that there is absolutely no time left, just talking about the influence, it will not happen overnight.

The most important thing is that the Grammy Awards itself is the highest music award in the Western world.

What is needed now is for Zhang Chen, as a Chinese, to win the highest honor in the Western world's highest music award with Chinese music.

So even if China has a music award that influences the world, its nature is completely comparable to Zhang Chen winning the Grammy Awards for a Chinese song.

Ultimately, what you need now is for others to recognize you so that you can integrate into this world currently dominated by the Western world.

Instead of letting them entertain themselves, award themselves awards, and recognize themselves.

"Of course I know it's useless for us to create an award ourselves."

Zhang Chen knows the difference between the two.

But that wasn't what excited him.

He has a better way.

Zhang Chen looked at the two people in front of him and grinned: "You tell me, if..."

　Now the updates are all on time, it’s really exciting!
