The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 473 Zhang Chen's terrifying dominance, all the people who want to enter
To say that a single stone can cause a thousand ripples is not enough to describe the devastating effect of this Grammy Awards announcement.

In 1957, a group of musicians and record company executives from Los Angeles, USA, initiated the establishment of an organization to represent the art and science of music production and to encourage talented musicians, singers and behind-the-scenes music producers through this organization.

Later, the National Academy of Sciences of the United States Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (abbreviated as the Recording Academy) was officially born, and the organization founded the Grammy Awards.

The venue for the Grammy Awards has remained the same for the past fifty years.

In other words, most of the world's major awards are held in fixed locations.

The advantage of this approach is that it builds a city's image, allowing people around the world to think of the city's characteristics when they mention the city.

So much so that the cities hosting the three major European film festivals, Venice, Cannes and Berlin, have become holy places in the hearts of filmmakers around the world.

This will help form an industrial cluster with the city as its core. The mutual promotion between the two will bring huge benefits to both the award and the city.

Moreover, a fixed award ceremony venue also helps to coordinate surrounding resources.

Not only do we have to frequently change venues and guests, we also have to worry about whether the new partners are capable of hosting the award ceremony.

After all, for many large awards, avoiding mistakes is one of the core demands.

However, the Grammy Awards, the highest music institution in the world and which has been holding awards in Los Angeles for fifty years, actually made such a decision this year, which really shocked fans around the world.

At the same time, it also dumbfounded the media and fans who had already booked hotels near the award ceremony.

They waited there early based on the first-come, first-served idea.

And now they're told the Grammys have moved?!
"Is that guy Neil crazy?!"

"So many businesses around here are waiting to make a fortune around the Grammy Awards, and he just went to China to hold an awards ceremony without even saying hello?!"

"What should we do now?"

A group of reporters gathered in the hotel lobby, many of them carrying large and small bags.

These people directly answered the reporter who asked the question: "What else can we do? Get a visa quickly!"

"Isn't that too much trouble?"

It’s a 12-hour flight. Some reporters have never been to the United States in their entire lives.

"It's up to you. Anyway, I must take pictures of the news of Leon's return!"

"Me too, Leon is back and we have to interview him!"

"If I hadn't captured the scene where Leon appeared, I would have been fired by my boss."

"Leon's return is very important for our TV station."

"You guys." Someone gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going too!"

In fact, many people did not plan to go, but when they thought about it, if their own TV station or newspaper did not report the news of Zhang Chen's return that day, then the ratings and newspaper sales that day would definitely plummet.

In some cases, it's okay if everyone just gives up.

I’m just afraid that some people are unwilling to give up.

Moreover, as long as one or two people do not give up, it will drive everyone else to be forced to start involution.

So when a reporter left the lobby with a bag, everyone was alerted.

Some ran to the gate and went directly to the embassy to apply for a visa.

Some ran back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

After a while, the entire hotel lobby was in a mess.

These reporters who were just here for the news were like this, not to mention the fans who came for Zhang Chen.

“Have you watched the news?”

"Are you talking about the announcement from Grammy?"

"Yes, there is no point in continuing to live here now. I think we need to apply for another visa to go to China."

"China. I heard it's very backward. Do I need to bring a respirator with me?"

"It's true that the environment there is not very good as seen on TV. The living conditions are still the same as they were decades ago."

"How foolish! Are you really fans of Lyon? Did you watch the special concert he held in their capital? If you are a fan of Lyon, you will not believe what the media says!"

"So life in China is pretty good?"

"I haven't been there, so I can't say, but isn't this a good opportunity for me to go over and see for myself?"

"Makes sense!"

"Then count me in!"

"I am coming too!"

Scenes of fans spontaneously forming groups to go to China and watching the Grammy stars enter the venue, with questions about Zhang Chen's return and what the environment in China is like, occurred in various hotels.

For them, an award that has existed for fifty years is certainly worth the wait.

But a new awards venue also made them very curious.

In particular, there is a huge difference between the China in the news reports and the China that Zhang Chen once promoted, and they are also very curious about who is right.

This movement to go to China started from Zhang Chen's fans and spread outward, making fans of other singers curious as well.

In addition, they also had the urge to meet their idols after the Grammy Awards suddenly changed their venue, so they also started applying for visas.

All of a sudden, the embassy received millions of visa applications, causing the staff to be in a state of panic.

It also allowed those who had already realized the effectiveness of Zhang Chen's albums to once again feel Zhang Chen's appeal in the Western world.

"I'm so tired! I processed visas for more than a hundred people today."

"Who isn't? We'll have to work overtime until the Spring Festival if this continues."

"It still has to be Zhang Chen. It's just that we don't have enough albums here. I don't know if the leader will take this opportunity to ask Zhang Chen for more."

"We sent his fans there, so it's a bit of hard work, so it's not too much to ask for an album, right?"

"Makes sense!"

For them, they can't go back to China and can only order albums.

This incident also made them feel once again Zhang Chen’s terrifying dominance here.

If you can get more signed albums, you will gain unexpected benefits when communicating with others here.

After all, the people who came to apply for visas just now were not just ordinary people. They also received a lot of people from some government offices in the United States.

Among them are people they often come into contact with.

As long as you are a fan of Zhang Chen, you will have something to talk about when you meet him in the future.

Overseas media, fans, and even some wealthy people and government officials have begun preparing to go to China because of the Grammy's move.

The Grammy Awards suddenly changed its 50-year tradition and took the lead in other international awards by trying to change the award ceremony venue for the first time, which gave many people a fresh feeling.

Some upper-class people can also understand why the Grammys have changed.

Isn’t the reason the Grammy scandal last year?

Both Sister Niu and Zhang Chen can go down in history.

The former caused the Grammy Awards to be questioned for being fair and unfriendly to female singers.

The latter was caused by the turmoil caused by the former, which forced the Grammy Awards to reform its system, bringing about fundamental changes to the rules that had remained unchanged for many years.

If this is the case overseas, one can imagine how lively it is at home.

"Boss, could you please send some extra people to my team?"

"what happened?"

"I've been busy answering phone calls these past few days and haven't been able to handle other things."

Xue Yining sat in front of Zhang Chen's desk with a tired look on her face, not caring about decency or hierarchy.

At this time, she just wanted to have a good rest.

"Phone? Those who can call you must be extraordinary people, right?"

"Well, basically everyone who is at a similar level to you, boss, has called." "Why are they joining in the fun?" Zhang Chen was surprised.

About the same level as him?
In other words, these are the top people in each region.

Since when did these people become interested in a music awards show?

"It's not that they are interested." Xue Yining sighed, "It's that their children and nephews are begging them to call and want a ticket."

"They are not singers, nor are they in the entertainment industry, why are they joining in the fun?"

"These people usually don't like foreign stars when they are abroad. This time these foreign stars come to China collectively, and they want to get close to them."

Zhang Chen was speechless for a long while after hearing this.

Many of these people were sent abroad by their family elders for "further studies".

The influence there is much greater than that in China.

The earlier you go out, the more you can appreciate the gap between China and the world at that time.

Over time, I have come to admire some foreign cultures very much.

Especially those foreign stars had a profound influence on them who were still students at the time.

Even after these people return to their country, they still like the Western entertainment industry.

Many of them never went out again after they came back, but they also hope to have close contact with their favorite stars one day.

This time, those people who accompanied them through adolescence came to China collectively, so naturally they also wanted to look for opportunities.

Actually, Zhang Chen probably doesn't know.

These people's admiration for foreign stars is not as great as their admiration for him.

Those who live abroad can appreciate Zhang Chen's influence in the Western world better than people in China.

For them, when they were studying, if they had just said that they and Zhang Chen were from the same country, they would have won the hearts of many girls and the respect of many young men.

It can be said that Zhang Chen made them do very well in school.

The reason is that these people are fans of Zhang Chen.

As for those students who are not fans of Zhang Chen, they dare not say a word because their idol is being trampled under Zhang Chen's feet.

It is true that they are deeply influenced by Western culture, but they are more influenced by Zhang Chen's dominance in the Western world.

The respect for Zhang Chen himself is something that young people who grew up in China cannot understand.

They didn't dare to ask their elders to introduce Zhang Chen to them.

Moreover, as Zhang Chen's prestige in the country gradually increased, they dared not bring up such behavior, which they considered to be beyond the limit.

But this incident made them feel that it was Zhang Chen who was behind the scenes, and they also knew that Zhang Chen needed a grand awards ceremony.

Young people who have figured this out began to ask their families to contact Xue Yining.

The purpose is not to get an admission ticket.

They know they can't get it.

Their real purpose is to make their elders take Zhang Chen seriously.

Let these elders who originally disagreed with Zhang Chen understand Zhang Chen’s terrifying influence in the Western world.

When they worked together, their elders later learned that their colleagues had also asked Zhang Chen for admission tickets.
For Zhang Chen, the benefits of being invisible are innumerable.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Chen finally figured out the relationship.

After thinking about it, he asked Xue Yining, "What about the venue? Is there a place that can accommodate tens of thousands of people for the awards ceremony?"

"It would be fine if the Bird's Nest was completed, but there is still a lot of work to be done before it is fully built."

Zhang Chen also frowned when he heard this.

Of course it is a good thing if more people come.

But now the problem is where to go for so many people.

If all those who come to China and want to attend this ceremony can be included, it will be a revival ceremony for the Grammys, and it will also be an awards ceremony to establish Zhang Chen's status at home and abroad.

He just came in there not long ago.

I also received a task from there two days ago.

He is in charge of organizing the Grammy Awards.

This is a task and also a test.

A test to stop gossip.

A test that allowed him to secure this position when he was only in his early twenties.

"What about those people in the circle?" Zhang Chen suddenly asked.

When international music stars come to China to receive awards, it is a good opportunity for communication for those in the domestic entertainment industry, especially those in the music industry.

"I don't know about that. It's Lanlan who is in charge of the coordination." Xue Yining answered seriously.

Everything she is responsible for is related to Zhang Chen.

And over the years, Yin Zilan has been freed from Zhang Chen's daily affairs.

I was mainly responsible for external contacts, especially communication with people in the entertainment industry.

One is responsible for the inside, the other is responsible for the outside.

The two have a clear division of labor.

It’s just that sometimes people who want to contact Zhang Chen directly will call Xue Yining.

For example, the elders of young people who have studied abroad.

knock knock --

An urgent but steady knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Zhang Chen and Xue Yining.

"Enter."

As Zhang Chen finished speaking, Liu Yifei poked her head in.

"elder brother"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei who was a little embarrassed.

Liu Yifei scratched her head and walked quickly to Zhang Chen.

She took Zhang Chen's hand and started to complain: "Brother, why don't you give me some tickets? I am being annoyed to death by Sister Bingbing and the others."

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows.

"The artists in the company all tried to find ways to talk to me. When I was having dinner, dozens of artists 'ran into' me intentionally or unintentionally."

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen speechlessly: "I don't know what kind of coincidence could have brought so many people to the company cafeteria, and coincidentally let me meet them and eat at the same time as me."

Before Zhang Chen could ask, Liu Yifei started to talk nonstop: "And more, if it was just the artists from our company, it would be fine, but I don't know which idiot asked Jie Lun and the others to visit the company. Those Taiwanese celebrities are also looking for me in the company right now."

At this point, Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen pitifully and said, "Please save me. They are looking for me everywhere in the company."

"Ah?" Zhang Chen was confused. "Could it be that all the celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are here?"

"Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's almost the same." Liu Yifei nodded seriously.

"Difficult to do."
