The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 486: Top media arrived, cheering and mocking
Yanjing City in 07

Because of the sporting event next year, the development is extremely rapid.

Various high-rise buildings are rising from the ground.

Although it cannot be called the most prosperous city in the world, after several years of development, it has initially formed an international metropolis with both modern and historical colors.

And on the streets of this city that has never shined on the international stage, lines of motorcades left the hotels in Yanjing City and moved forward in the afterglow of the sunset.

These cars all have one thing in common.

Not a luxury car, just a simple van.

But if you look closely, you can see the various LOGOs on these cars.

The world's well-known news organizations set out from their reserved hotels and lined up in a long queue to the outskirts of Yanjing.

These convoys passed through Yanjing City and drove towards the suburbs against the flow of traffic.

They began to gradually converge outside the Third Ring Road.

When they reached outside the DX area, they completed their first intersection.

For a time, they brought the attention of most people in the world to their destination - the 49th Grammy Awards.

"I should be able to see Leon today, right?"

"He has been hiding for so many days, it's time for him to come out and respond to the media."

"Tony, I didn't expect you to be here."

The reporter known as Tony turned around and saw his old acquaintance.

"Isn't your editor-in-chief here in person, Pierce?"

While these two gray-haired "journalists" were talking, everyone else could only stand aside.

After all, these two are well-known figures in the world news circle.

The man named Pierce, his full name is Piers Morgan.

The famous editor of the Daily Mirror set out to create the "3am Girls" reporting team, which attracted a large number of readers with its unique style of entertainment news reporting.

And Tony, whom he just mentioned, is an even bigger man.

"Why did the people from the White House come here?"

"But he should be leaving office soon. I wonder if he is here to look for a way out."

"Even if he is in office, he is still a host of Fox News. Don't forget that Fox and Lyon are both shareholders of CGT Film and Television Technology, and his boss Murdoch is also a partner of Lyon."

"Leon and Murdoch have cooperated?"

"Legend has it."

"hiss--"

The Western journalists who were whispering on the sidelines drew many people's attention to the two people in the center.

It was a bit surreal to see that one of them was Tony Snow, whom I saw on TV every day.

When will the people from the White House come in person to bring about a grand event in the entertainment industry?

Faced with this scene, many reporters who were originally waiting to watch the fun instantly became extremely alert.

The bigwigs in the news industry have all arrived, causing their counterparts in other news organizations to feel a sense of crisis.

It may be difficult to seize the initiative.

"Have you arranged a special interview with Zhang Chen?"

"No."

"This guy doesn't even give his own people any preferential treatment."

The person who spoke sighed helplessly, and could only follow the crowd to get the "interview pass" and enter the venue in an orderly manner.

In the past, they were able to get exclusive interview access to anyone in the country.

However, faced with so many international media organizations of equal status as themselves, they can only be patient and join in with everyone else.

There are colleagues around me, and I can't lose face because of a small matter.

Otherwise it will become a joke if it gets out.

Now the competition is about who can be called out by Zhang Chen more times on the spot.

I hope that the station logo on the microphone in my hand will attract Zhang Chen's attention.

Thinking of this, the reporter carefully turned the station logo on the microphone so that when he handed it over, Zhang Chen would be the first to see the eye-catching logo.

The logo with a blue globe and the red word "讯" (news) as embellishment startled the reporters around.

Even Tony Snow and Piers Morgan smiled kindly at the group.

This is the biggest competitor.

China has sent this agency
I don’t know if Lyon will give us any special treatment.

In fact, there are also small circles in the news industry.

Just like the most conspicuous people, they are all equipped with the most professional equipment. There will be several people in the interview team alone to operate the equipment. Those huge machines are particularly conspicuous on the shoulders of the photographers.

The leading reporters had sharp eyes as they scanned everyone at the scene.

These are the mouthpieces of each country and represent the face of each country.

There is a significant difference from other teams.

Apart from these serious teams, the largest number of reporters is from various TV stations.

For example, Fox and Columbia in the United States.

Several of the most famous satellite TV stations in China.

In addition, there are several teams of reporters who specialize in reporting entertainment news.

For example, there are domestic news channels such as Penguin, Sina, Sohu, and NetEase, as well as the CGT News Channel which has become increasingly famous in the past two years.

The expressions of these reporters were much more casual. Although they were scanning the scene, most of the time they were observing whether there were any celebrities entering.

"Do you think we can interview the big boss?"

"I haven't even met the big boss, do you think we have a chance?"

"Then considering that we are barely his employees, he should take a little care of us, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's no fun if you do this. If that's the case, the rest of us don't need to come."

Several reporters from Sina and Sohu watched as reporters from Penguin, NetEase, and CGT News Channel gathered in a small circle to chat.

They immediately became unhappy when they overheard the content.

"If you don't accept it, then ask your boss to sell the company to our boss." The Penguin reporter took the lead in making fun of them and rolled his eyes at that side.

Seeing this, the two reporters from NetEase and CGT News also laughed.

Not to mention, after arriving at the scene, they were the least stressed.

The person being interviewed was their own boss, and the scene was no different from being at home.

Even if there are a few top media outlets, the boss cannot take care of them.

Then they can also interview the stars of the Morning Light series.

Just based on this item alone, we are already far ahead of other news organizations.

You have to know that the so-called Morning Light stars are not just a few superstars in China.

Even those who are popular internationally.

Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Beyonce and others are all singers under the Morning Glory Group.

Since they are family members, there is nothing to be wary of when interviewing them.

The initial trust is the key for celebrities to ask reporters questions by name.

It can be said that the possibility of them being called upon by celebrities to ask questions is naturally much higher than that of other reporters.

Other reporters would ask pointed questions to embarrass the stars.

If a celebrity feels that they cannot handle this kind of question, they can avoid being harassed by naming the reporters from their own company.

A reporter from his own company is making things difficult for a star from his own company?

If they dare to do this, they don’t have to go back to the company, they can pack up and go home on the spot.

It’s not like Mr. Li, the group’s president, hasn’t dealt with a few stubborn people who shouted “the dignity of journalists”.

After one or two people did this, no one dared to do it anymore.

If we have to do it, we should do it to other stars.

The reputation of one's own stars depends on their articles to offset the negative news about their opponents.

The stars under Morning Glory have also gradually built up trust in them over the past few years.

As time went by, there was more communication.

I can also play with some big-name stars privately.

The benefits are also obvious.

If there is any exclusive news, they will be the first to think of them.

"Hiss, who is so shameless as to step on me!"

"Be serious!"

“Don’t push! Leon hasn’t even come out yet, why are you so anxious!”

"Take up the seat first!"

The reporters, who were originally very harmonious, became agitated the moment they saw the first car arrive at the scene.

When one person moves, thousands of people move.

For a moment, everyone swarmed towards the two sides of the giant red carpet that was nearly 30 meters wide.

When everyone was in position and raised their cameras, camcorders, microphones and flashlights, the first black Red Flag sedan opened its door.

"Zhang Guorong?!"

"Hasn't he disappeared for a long time?"

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Zhang Guorong, who has faded out of the circle for such a long time, would come!"

“But why was he the first to enter?”

"Who knows? Take the picture quickly! It's big news!"

No one needed to be reminded, everyone at the scene knew the person in front of them.

Even among Westerners, there are many journalists who are loyal fans of Zhang Guorong's "Farewell My Concubine".

This person's arrival completely ignited the enthusiasm of the reporters on the scene.

The flash lights flashed as if they were free.

The sky, which had already begun to darken, became brighter than daytime.

Zhang Guorong, who had just got off the car, wearing a moon-white cloak and a light white ancient-style robe underneath, stood there for a long time before gradually getting used to the sudden "bombing" of flash lights.

"Brother! Look here!"

"Leslie, look here!"

"Leslie, can you show me your costume?"

The reporters in front were still busy taking pictures of Zhang Guorong's outfit, which was different from the standard black suit and black bow tie she had worn at the Grammy Awards.

Another black car with a red flag stopped behind.

About half of the reporters turned their cameras and asked their colleagues to continue filming Zhang Guorong, while they used their cameras to record the next star's appearance.

The reporters who came to the scene today had already prepared for this moment.

There is more than one media person here.

Each team has at least two people working together, trying not to miss anyone.

Fortunately, the venue given to them was large enough, a full two hundred meters long.

Otherwise, it might not be possible to accommodate so many reporters filming on both sides.

"Wow! Today's opening show is a special show for China?"

"It should be."

"This person is also an evergreen in the Chinese music scene."

"Stop talking nonsense and take the photo!"

Zhang Xueyou also has experience in facing international media.

But when I first saw the news media presence at the Grammy Awards today, I was also shocked.

However, his strong psychological quality allowed him to calm down quickly.

He was also wearing a light white robe that he never wore to other award ceremonies.

It’s just that his treatment is obviously slightly worse than Zhang Guorong’s.

There's no way around it, he's pretty famous in the country and even in Southeast Asia.

But compared with the international film emperor Zhang Guorong, his popularity is still a little lower.

However, the two of them did support the Chinese stars and get the reporters moving around.

Following closely behind, of course, were the other members of the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Lai Ming.
Female singers such as Zhang Huimei and Joey Yung also entered the venue.

After the singers from Hong Kong Island entered, we finally arrived at other countries.

The first is the European and American singer from the United States, who was supposed to be a “family member” of the Grammy Awards.

Led by veteran singers, international stars such as U2, Coldplay, and Linkin Park have made their debut.

Following closely behind were Sakura's Miyuki Nakajima and others.

Their ranking in the "War of the Gods" is not low, and more than 10 people have obtained the qualification to enter.

And it doesn't look as awkward as the European and American singers wearing white robes and dresses.

These singers from the Land of Sakura look much more natural when wearing clothes with Chinese elements.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After the singers from Sakura Country passed by, Taiwanese singers also began to enter.

Led by Jay Chou, followed by Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, Fei Yuqing, Qi Qin and others.

Wait until these singers who won places in "Clash of the Titans" enter the stage.

Finally, everyone has waited for the real Grammy nominees.

Album of the Year nominees: Mary J. Blige, Dixie Chili Peppers

Best New Artist nominees: James Blunt, Chris Brown, Kenny Bell, Carrie Underwood

The singers competing for this year's Grammy Awards are all of different nationality and skin color.

They entered the venue wearing uniform white robes with Chinese elements.

This made the reporters, who were used to seeing dark-colored Grammy dresses, feel dazed.

This year's Grammy Awards are very different from previous ones in terms of costumes.

This isn’t the end, the Grammy nominees are just the appetizer.

After they enter, they will become the most anticipated people of the night.

"Clash of the Titans" ranked 10th with 352 million votes - Madonna.

"It finally begins!"

"This is our goal tonight!"

"Madonna is only number 10. I didn't expect that."

"Don't you see how many people in front of you are swiping their votes? Even inside..."

"Just shut up and ask when you see Leon later!"

With exclamations, the top ten performers of "Clash of the Titans", which overshadowed the Grammy Awards tonight, began to enter the stage one by one.

No. 9, 381 million votes - Rihanna
No. 8, 412 million votes - Britney
No. 7, 478 million votes - Avril Lavigne
No. 6, 698 million votes - Taylor Swift

No. 5, 1123 million votes - Ayumi Hamasaki
No. 4, 1532 million votes - Michael Jackson

"MJ is only fourth?!"

"The ticket in front is really good."

"It's a good thing MJ didn't care. I wouldn't have come anyway if it was me."

"MJ has a good relationship with Leon, so we have to give him some face."

"Who's the third one?"

In fact, many people know this problem.

"The third one."

"Tsk tsk tsk"

This time, it was not just one person who got off the bus. This was also the first and only combination to enter "War of the Gods" in the name of a group.

No. 3, 1819 million votes - TVXQ

"Uu——"

Their admission was treated completely differently from that of others.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic.

"Get out!!!"

"Brush, do you really have the nerve to come here!?"

"How shameless!"

"Everyone knows that this Korean group was created entirely by rigging votes!"

"Don't waste my film, get out of here!"

For a moment, the scene was filled with verbal abuse.

　I think the Koreans are capable of doing this kind of thing.
