The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 498: An unprecedented chorus, the net closes

No one cares that on Chinese New Year’s Eve today, a director won the highest award of this year’s Berlin Film Festival - the Golden Bear Award.

Because of the Grammy Awards three days ago, the eyes of the entire world are now focused on China.

This includes all the Chinese people, especially the older generation who don’t usually watch the news.

When I saw Zhang Chen frequently appearing on major TV stations in recent days, I began to wonder who this young man is.

There were few people who dared to say that they could become well-known throughout China.

Even if you are on the main Z side, not all the people in your area may know you.

Although celebrities are well-known, they also have limitations.

Every star has his or her own main fan group.

A singer’s main base is his fans, and an actor’s main base is his fans.

If you develop in multiple fields, you can get more exposure and more people's likes.

But no star from any country has ever dared to say that he or she is well-known to the whole nation in his or her own country.

Because there are always some remote areas where people never pay attention to these entertainment figures.

But Zhang Chen did it in the past two days.

Television, radio, newspapers, the Internet, in every publicity channel, Zhang Chen is the protagonist among protagonists.

In every channel of communication, the name Zhang Chen was mentioned repeatedly.

All the things he has done in the past, all the contributions he has made to society.

The influence in the world and the current attitude of the world towards Zhang Chen were also popularized to the people across the country during these three days.

All of Zhang Chen's songs and TV dramas he had starred in were spread by the leaders of each region in the land they manage, in an effort to make sure that everyone here knows about Zhang Chen.

Families with televisions can watch "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "The Chinese Paladin" starring Zhang Chen.

These TV series occupied the prime time slots on the TV channel during these three days and were broadcast in turns. During the advertisements, Zhang Chen's Chinese and English songs were played directly.

Those who don’t have televisions can just play audio clips of Zhang Chen’s previous interviews and his songs on the village radio.

The kindergarten plays inspirational songs such as "Chinese Youth Speaks" and "Snail".

The elementary school played "Proud Boy".

Radio stations in junior high schools, high schools and even universities play all of Zhang Chen’s albums on loop.

If some poor areas have no television or even no radio.

Then the green-wrapped vehicles will deliver every newspaper printed with Zhang Chen's report to thousands of households.

During these three days, Zhang Chen's deeds, his face, and his voice became truly known throughout the country.

After the overwhelming publicity in the past few days, people are extremely looking forward to Zhang Chen's performance on the Spring Festival Gala tonight.

"I never paid much attention to the entertainment industry before, and I never thought that such a person would emerge in our country."

"He is only a few years old, but he is praised as a god by musicians all over the world. It's too abnormal!"

"I used to think that Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong were already good enough, but compared to Zhang Chen, they are really not even a little bit inferior."

"I suddenly realized that everyone with the last name Zhang in our country's entertainment industry is quite powerful. Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Guorong, and Zhang Yimou are all well-known figures, especially Zhang Chen!"

"World-class musician, actor, Palme d'Or director, philanthropist, honorary chairman of the International Morning Light Charity Foundation, honorary advisor of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, honorary chairman of the Grammy Awards, outstanding national youth, outstanding entrepreneur, chairman of the Morning Light Group, mentor of superstars, golden song maker, richest Chinese, top 20 on the world wealth list, shareholder of Morning Light Music, shareholder of CGT Technology, shareholder of Baidu, shareholder of Penguin, shareholder of Disney, shareholder of Facebook."

"Who can tell me what other identities Zhang Chen has that everyone doesn't know about yet?"

"Others have to fight for a title all their lives, but Zhang Chen has only one... How many halos does he have?!"

"Is this something a human can do?!"

"What normal human being can do something so outrageous at the age of 23?!"

"Monster! A definite monster!"

"Luckily this monster was born in our country!"

"It is said that the South Koreans next door have begun to study Zhang Chen's ancestors. It seems that Zhang Chen's ancestors more than a thousand years ago had South Korean blood."

"Zhang Chen has already made the South Koreans think of ways to deal with him. It seems that he is really famous in the world."

"What a great reversal of the Heavenly Gang!"

The discussion among netizens was extremely heated.

Chinese netizens, in particular, finally had a chance to feel proud on the Internet.

In the past, when I used a VPN to go abroad, no matter what Chinese netizens said, netizens from other countries always had a bunch of reasons to refute them.

But this time, no one could come up with someone who could match Zhang Chen's achievements.

Moreover, foreign netizens are desperately praising Chen, and they envy Chinese netizens for having such a person who has influenced the whole world born in their country.

Of course, South Korean netizens are excluded.

However, no matter how netizens from different countries discuss it, they just want to see Zhang Chen’s personal interview or talk show these days.

Let the journalists take a closer look at this youngest man in the world who has achieved so many jaw-dropping achievements.

As a result, the wait lasted for three days.

It was the Chinese netizens who proudly told them.

Zhang Chen may not accept media interviews and may not have time to hold a concert.

But he will definitely sing a song for all Chinese people on the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve in China.

Those who heard the news, no matter what time zone they were in, all sat in front of the TV early at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, waiting for the moment when Zhang Chen appeared on the screen.

As a result, the wait lasted for several hours.

During the period, they saw Chinese singing and dancing performances, and also saw the prosperity of the cities in various branch venues.

Through the sketches, we can see the current living conditions of ordinary Chinese people.

Until the moment of 0: on the Chinese New Year.

The person they have been waiting for for a long time is finally going to appear.

But when the first person entered, everyone was stunned.

"What a fool?!"

"Um?!"

"MJ?"

"Welcome to another dawn

bring fresh air
"

This is not enough, and the next singers come on stage one by one.

Every person and every sentence impacts the hearts of all audiences around the world.

Teacher Song: "The atmosphere changes but the feelings remain the same, the fragrance of tea is filled with friendship"

Zhang Guorong: "My door is always open, and I am waiting for you with open arms."

Madonna: "After hugging, we have a tacit understanding, and you will fall in love with this place"

Jay Chou: "No matter how far away you are, you are all guests. Please don't be polite."

Avril: "We've made an appointment to be together. We welcome you."

Liu Yifei: "My family grows evergreens, opening up every legend."

Taylor Swift: "Sowing seeds for the soil of tradition and leaving memories for you"

Zhang Shaohan: "We are all guests, strangers or friends, please don't be polite."

Britney: "It doesn't matter how many times I come, there are too many topics to talk about"

Every singer's appearance, especially the foreign singers singing those slightly clumsy but distinctive songs on China's Spring Festival Gala, gives people a different feeling.

As each singer sang, the big screen behind them would flash the beautiful scenery of a Chinese city.

After they finish singing, they will stand in the center of the stage.

Three days ago, everyone was still discussing the future of world music.

Today, on the stage of China's Spring Festival Gala, everyone witnessed the perfect cooperation of singers from all over the world.

Every singer had a smile on his face, as if he was full of hope for the future.

The audience in front of the TV couldn't help laughing because of their singing and smiles.

How long has it been since we saw all the singers in the world put aside their competition and perform a song together?

The last person to do this was Michael Jackson.

Today, he opened the scroll of memory for everyone with the opening of this song.

So, who is the leader of this song today?

As the singers came on stage one by one, everyone began to look forward to it.

Time didn't make everyone wait for long.

Not too early or too late, when the time in District 2 East was 18:0 on February , it was the first second of the Chinese New Year.

The person they were waiting for appeared.

"Beijing welcomes you
Create the world for you

The charm in flow is full of vitality
Beijing welcomes you

Sharing a breath in the sun
Refreshing miracles on the yellow earth
"

Zhang Chen, wearing a simple sports casual outfit and sneakers, sang a song and walked out of a picture of the Great Wall at a leisurely pace.

The singers who had just stood on the stage also consciously made way for Zhang Chen to walk between them and stand right in front of them.

But Zhang Chen did not finish singing the song. After him, another singer came on stage.

Wang Xinling, Sun Yanzi, Zhang Hanyun, Phoenix Legend.
Ayumi Hamasaki, Yoona, Choi Sooyoung, Rihanna
Each singer is a well-known singer in China or the world.

Except for Zhang Chen, everyone sang a line and then stood behind Zhang Chen.

They didn't try to steal the spotlight or make any noises. They just stood there quietly, waving red lanterns and singing along with the other singers.

This harmonious and friendly scene made many TV viewers shed tears in their eyes.

Is this the world music scene led by Zhang Chen?
Is this the world stage they will see in the future?

If I remember correctly, next year will still be the Yanjing Olympics, right?
This song is about the future of the world music scene, and probably also about the worldwide event that will take place next year, right?
The interaction between the Olympic spirit and the world music scene gave everyone a dreamlike feeling.

The original intention of the Olympics is to allow everyone to put aside disputes and express themselves in a harmonious environment.

At the Grammy Awards three days ago, Zhang Chen made everyone put aside their disputes temporarily and raised world music to a global level.

Even those who had doubts about this a few days ago had their doubts dispelled after seeing this scene on TV today.

So many world-famous superstars are willing to serve as background for Zhang Chen on China's Spring Festival Gala just to express their support.

I am also willing to sing just one line and say "welcome" to everyone without competing or fighting.

Is this the future of music?

Is this the Yanjing Olympics next year?
This is the world music scene under the leadership of Zhang Chen?
Not to mention how beautiful the melody of this song is, just the picture of unity and friendship makes the audience who see this scene believe that the future is trustworthy.

Just like Zhang Chen’s song that won the Grammy Award three days ago – “I Believe So Much”, it is really believable!

The Grammys didn't give out the wrong awards.

Michael Jackson didn't trust the wrong person.

Zhang Chen did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

One song dispels everyone's doubts.

At this moment, looking at the relaxed and happy smiles on the faces of the singers on TV, everyone is willing to believe from the bottom of their hearts that the future will be bright.

In fact, the moment Michael Jackson started singing, people started discussing the Chinese Spring Festival Gala on Facebook.

"I can't believe that MJ actually sang on the Chinese New Year Gala, and he sang a Chinese song."

"This time, Chinese music has truly become global."

"There are so many big-name singers. MJ and Madonna even appeared on China's Spring Festival Gala."

"Who are those Chinese singers who are interspersed among MJ and his friends?"

"I only know one Liu, and I really like the song she sang at the Grammy Awards."

“This song should also be written by Leon, right? Although I don’t understand the lyrics, from the translation, the meaning of this song is very high.”

"Is this a welcome to us to China?"

"I must go to the Chinese Olympics next year to see it with my own eyes!"

Similar remarks are flooding the entire world Internet.

They were all amazed at the grand scale of China's Spring Festival Gala.

How much does it cost to get so many big names to perform on the same stage?

Or did these big names sing this song for free simply to save Lyon's face?
Many people are willing to believe that it is Zhang Chen’s efforts that have enabled so many singers to reach a consensus and strengthened everyone’s confidence in world music after the Grammy Awards.

Of course, amidst the harmony in the world, there are also many dissatisfied people.

“Why aren’t there any singers from South Korea?!”

"There are so many outstanding singers in our country, why weren't they selected?!"

"This is discrimination against us South Koreans! The Grammy Awards are like this, and so are China's Spring Festival Gala! We want to protest!"

After TVXQ embarrassed people in South Korea, they also wondered whether anyone from their country would be invited to perform on China's Spring Festival Gala.

So many world-famous singers have been invited. It doesn't make sense that there would be no singer from a country with such a developed entertainment industry who would not accept the invitation, right?

In addition to TVXQ, they also have many well-known boy and girl groups, as well as many national-level artists.

As a result, reality dealt them a heavy blow.

It seems that there is no place for South Korea in this newly established world music "alliance".

Even though China and Sakura had various problems, Ayumi Hamasaki accepted the invitation.

However, not a single singer from South Korea received an invitation.

Even Yonhap News Agency came out and reported it with the headline "China treats South Korean singer unfairly."

But no matter how fierce the fight was, it only caused a small ripple on Facebook.

No one paid much attention to the indignation of the South Koreans.

At most, they would leave a comment “You deserve it!” and then happily join in the discussion of other posts.

Because they have discovered that their own media have blocked many big names coming out of the studio building.

Three days ago, these people avoided the media, probably for tonight's performance.

Now that the performance is over today, you must have time for an interview, right?

"Leon!"

"MJ!"

"Madonna!"

It’s still the same media and the same people.

They have occupied the hotel for young couples in Yanjing for about a month.

The visa was extended again and again just to be able to interview Zhang Chen.

They didn't find the opportunity before the Grammys.

Grammy red carpet, didn't find the opportunity.

After the Grammy Awards, I still didn’t find an opportunity.

The moment they saw these people appear on the live broadcast today, they rushed out of the hotel and waited here.

Fortunately, when they arrived, these people had just finished coming out, and they finally caught up with Zhang Chen and others.

At this time, they didn't care about the rules anymore.

They blocked the front of Zhang Chen and his group's car, holding microphones and cameras, looking at Zhang Chen and his group with anticipation.

Zhang Chen tried for a long time but found that he could not move even a step. He could only stop helplessly and look at the thousands of reporters in front of him.

"Everyone, this year is the Chinese New Year. We can't celebrate it on the main street, right?"

"you?"

Zhang Chen pointed to the hundreds of singers behind him and explained with a smile: "I invited them to my home to celebrate the New Year as a way of thanking them for their efforts."

"This"

The reporters looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

It's not like they have done nothing during this time in China.

At least during this period of time, they learned a lot about the traditions of China.

Today, New Year's Eve, should be spent with family.

Today is a day for family reunion.

Now that Zhang Chen says he wants to invite so many singers to celebrate the New Year together, it is obvious that he treats these singers as family members.

This alone is enough to provide material for their report.

But they still refused to give in.

After staying in China for so long, no one has been able to interview Zhang Chen.

How will they explain this when they return home?

They wanted to know what Zhang Chen thought after becoming the honorary chairman of the Grammy Awards.

They want to know how Chinese songs feel about being recognized at the Grammys and having the strong support of singers from so many countries on the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.

They wanted to know what Zhang Chen thought about the future of world music.

They wanted to know why this little girl Liu Yifei could always get so many good songs from Zhang Chen.

They wanted to know what Zhang Chen thought after officially taking over the title of world number one from Michael Jackson.

They wanted to know what South Korea thought of Zhang Chen's protest.

They want to know whether Zhang Chen will continue to participate in the Grammy Awards in the future.

They want to know when Zhang Chen's movie will be released.

They want to know when Zhang Chen's concert will start.

They want to know.
They had so many questions they wanted to ask Zhang Chen.

I finally caught up with Zhang Chen today, how could I be willing to let him leave?

Those eyes filled with expectation, reluctance, unwillingness and longing made Zhang Chen feel uncomfortable.

He also knew that hiding forever was not a good idea.

We've kept people on suspense for so long, it's time to close the net.

"Everyone, after the seventh day of the Chinese lunar calendar, when everyone is free, I will hold a press conference."

Facing everyone's surprised expressions, Zhang Chen continued, "When the time comes, I will answer all the questions you want to know."

This year, it is time for him to close the net he has been planning for many years.

These reporters are his best "fuel"!
