The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 542 Zhang Chen's "sadness" returns the trophy to its original owner

“It’s actually Jolin Tsai?”

"Why not Liu Yifei?"

"Did the Golden Melody Awards invite Zhang Chen to come, without considering who Zhang Chen would present the award to?"

"Yes, logically speaking, Zhang Chen took the time to come all the way to the Golden Melody Awards, so he should present the award to his sister Liu Yifei to comply with some unspoken rules, right?"

"Didn't the Golden Melody Awards think of that?"

"how is this possible?"

“I don’t understand, but I think Liu Yifei’s expression is absolutely amazing.”

Zhang Chen had just announced the "Best Mandarin Album Award" when the audience started whispering.

No wonder everyone is discussing it so heatedly.

This result is really unexpected.

It is understandable that other people have no influence on the Golden Melody Awards.

After all, the Golden Melody Awards adheres to the principle of "fairness and justice", and awards are given only based on the quality of the songs.

It is not uncommon for popular songs to lose to other songs at various award ceremonies.

But in this situation, the award ceremony usually deliberately goes against the outside world's speculation in order to maintain its own "suspense".

If all the awards are guessed correctly by the media and fans before the awards ceremony, then what is the point of the awards ceremony?

But, this is Zhang Chen!

Do you want to see who will be the award presenter for the Golden Melody Awards?

The "suspense" has fallen on Zhang Chen's head. Do you not want to hold the Golden Melody Awards anymore?

While applauding, everyone began to worry about the future of the Golden Melody Awards.

If Zhang Chen is angered this time, the Golden Melody Awards may disappear.

If the Golden Melody Awards disappeared, where would these singers find a more credible song award ceremony?

If there is no Golden Melody Awards, it means there will be no "Best Male and Female Singer" awards.

This also means that there will be no more "kings and queens" in the Chinese music scene in the future.

Is it true that after today's session, there will be no more "Kings and Queens" in the Chinese music scene?
It's okay for singers like Jay Chou, Zhang Shaohan, Wang Lihong, and Sun Yanzi who have won the "King and Queen" award many times, but it's difficult for other singers who have just entered the industry and hope to catch up with their predecessors in the future.

And
Everyone turned their attention to Liu Yifei in the front row.

What would be this person's reaction at this time?
People sitting in the second row and back could not see Liu Yifei's expression.

But Jay Chou, Zhang Shaohan and others were also in the first row, sitting next to Liu Yifei, so they could see it clearly.

Very wonderful!
How to describe the expression on Liu Yifei's face at this moment?
At first glance, it looks like it's stunned.

But upon closer inspection, one can see that Liu Yifei feels relaxed at this moment.

At the same time, they could also see a hint of unwillingness in Liu Yifei's eyes when she looked at Zhang Chen on the stage.

All these complex emotions appeared on Liu Yifei's face at the same time, leaving Jay Chou stunned.

"Sure enough, the person who can become the world's film box office record holder must be quite capable."

"Hmm?" Sun Yanzi turned to look at Jay Chou who was mumbling to himself and asked curiously, "What did you say?"

"Oh!" Jay Chou quickly shook his head, "Nothing."

He is particularly concerned about the emotions of the actors recently because the movie he directed is about to be released.

So after seeing Liu Yifei's performance at this moment, he suddenly felt that he should have mustered up the courage to ask Liu Yifei to play the heroine of his movie.

But when I think of Zhang Chen
Jay Chou still shook his head regretfully.

Over the years, I have never heard of any film director being able to successfully invite Liu Yifei to join a movie.

Unless, the director of this movie is Zhang Chen.

Or, it is only possible that the male lead of this movie is Zhang Chen?

"It's difficult now." Zhang Shaohan glanced at the scene with a headache, pointed in a direction and said to Zhou Jielun and Sun Yanzi beside him, "Look, even the winners don't dare to go on stage to receive the awards at this time."

It was only then that Jay Chou noticed that the person who had had an ambiguous relationship with him a few years ago was now sitting in his seat awkwardly, not moving.

There was a moment of awkwardness at the scene, and everyone started whispering again.

The sound was getting louder and louder.

This also put more and more pressure on the award-winning Jolin Tsai, and she lowered her head more and more.

"what happened?"

Fortunately, a voice broke the awkwardness of the scene.

Zhang Chen asked Jolin Tsai from the stage: "Jolin Tsai? Why don't you come up?"

When Zhang Chen suddenly called her name, Jolin Tsai looked up at the stage in surprise.

She pointed at herself in disbelief.

No words were spoken, but the meaning was clear.

"Yes, I'm calling you." Zhang Chen looked at her speechlessly, "Why don't you come up?"

Jolin Tsai looked at Zhang Chen, then at the singers around her who were also a little confused.

After confirming it several times, he walked onto the stage hesitantly at Zhang Chen's repeated urging.

The moment she stood next to Zhang Chen, before even receiving the trophy, Jolin Tsai wanted to escape from this place.

There's no way, it's too much pressure!
The questioning looks from the singers and music producers in the audience made her feel like she was unworthy of receiving the trophy.

wrong!

It's not an illusion!

These people just feel they are unworthy!
Jolin Tsai looked at the trophy that was so close to her but did not take it.

Instead, he looked at Liu Yifei who had been staring at him from the audience.

"What's wrong? You don't dare to answer it?" Zhang Chen's voice came through the microphone to her ears and to the ears of everyone present.

Jolin Tsai raised her head with difficulty and looked at Zhang Chen's face.

She wanted to see clearly what was hidden behind this smiling face.

At this time, she took the trophy. What did it mean?
Does this mean that this is the last honor in her singing career?
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not a bad person." Zhang Chen sighed heavily and tried to speak out. "I know what you guys are thinking."

He shrugged helplessly in the face of the surprised looks from Jolin Tsai and many others in the audience.

"You guys, do you think I'm too domineering?"

The response he got was an awkward laugh without the courage to look him in the eye.

Some people even subconsciously said "no" out loud.

But Zhang Chen knew exactly what these people were thinking.

"You always think that every award ceremony I attend will be very unpleasant, and you always think that I will arrange some awards according to my own wishes."

Zhang Chen shook his head, but his tone was surprisingly calm.

"Don't treat me like a bully."

Another awkward laugh.

Zhang Chen was really helpless about this.

Is this how he usually looks in the eyes of these guys?
"Okay, although I also feel sorry that Xixi didn't win the award, but isn't it the case that we singers continue to grow in such regrets?"

When saying this, Zhang Chen was looking at Liu Yifei in the audience.

“If I win all the awards I want at once, I think my life will lose its purpose.”

"For example, me." Zhang Chen felt it necessary to give Liu Yifei an example that happened closest to him.

“Look, I’ve only been in the industry for a few years, but I’ve already won every song award in the world.” He said this calmly, which made the singers in the audience feel upset.

"So now, I find myself having nothing to pursue." Zhang Chen weighed the trophy in his hand, his tone becoming calmer, "Why did I go to make a movie?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Zhang Chen answered his own question: "Don't you just feel that your career as a singer has come to an end?"

"You think I'm not doing my job properly?" Zhang Chen thought for a moment and said with a curled lip, "Well, it is true that I am not doing my job properly to some extent."

"But!" Zhang Chen looked at the people who had quieted down and continued to express his thoughts, "I have to find something to do, right?"

"Billboard Awards, Emmy Awards, Maple Leaf Awards, Crystal Awards"

Zhang Chen waved his fingers and counted the most famous music awards in the world.

When he finished counting, he sighed heavily: "I have won all the awards. If I were to win them again, it would be hard for me to have that exciting feeling. Every time I release an album, I have less motivation."

Zhang Chen expressed his “sadness” on it.

The singers in the audience couldn't stop grinning.

They felt bouts of toothache.

what is this?
show off?

These awards that they dared not even think about, Zhang Chen had already completed the "Grand Slam" before he even reached adulthood.

At this time, Zhang Chen actually said that he actually hoped that fewer awards would be given to him?
You should have told me earlier!

If the organizers of these award ceremonies and Zhang Chen’s fans knew Zhang Chen’s idea, they would definitely let him “get what he wants”!
God knows that Zhang Chen’s fans are going crazy looking forward to Zhang Chen’s new songs every year!
Those award ceremonies also look forward to Zhang Chen attending every year.

If the award was known to Zhang Chen, he would be more motivated.

Then these awards will definitely give Zhang Chen less.

but
When I think about the sensation that those albums Zhang Chen released caused around the world.

If these awards were not given to Zhang Chen, the credibility of these award ceremonies would be "blasted to death" by fans, right?

so.
In the final analysis, Zhang Chen is just too amazing.
After everyone figured it out, they looked at Zhang Chen who was speaking on the stage with complicated expressions.

For a moment, they didn't know how to digest Zhang Chen's words.

envious?

They feel more like worship.

envy?

They feel they are unworthy.

So they think, it should be.
Ignore!

At this moment, countless singers began to silently say "I can't hear it, I can't hear it."

As long as I didn't hear what Zhang Chen said, I wouldn't be hit hard.

As long as you don’t compare yourself with Zhang Chen in your singing career, you won’t “lose”!
Anyway, Zhang Chen rarely participates in singer award ceremonies now.

As long as you don’t think about it, life will be peaceful and quiet.

Many singers did not expect that the "Ah Q" mentality would spread in the music scene.

"Okay, let's let today's winner give his acceptance speech." Zhang Chen said a lot of things, and then threw the trophy into Jolin Tsai's hands, "Go ahead."

After saying this, he secretly made a face at Liu Yifei, who looked unhappy in the audience.

When Liu Yifei saw him like this, she slapped the armrest of the chair and wanted to stand up.

But when she saw Jolin Tsai was about to speak, she sat back angrily.

Go back and deal with him!

Liu Yifei gritted her teeth and started thinking about how to deal with Zhang Chen when she got back.

Isn't it because I don't want her to win too many awards at the Golden Melody Awards? Isn't it because I'm afraid that she'll become arrogant if she wins too many awards?

After saying so much, all you end up doing is bragging about yourself.

hateful!

Liu Yifei took a deep breath and tried to calm her complicated emotions at the moment.

Yes, it is quite complicated.

On the one hand, she understood Zhang Chen's approach.

Because she is not Zhang Chen, if she wins so many major awards at the Golden Melody Awards at one time, it will do more harm than good.

Zhang Chen dared to criticize directly.

But as a girl, she is naturally at a disadvantage in this regard.

Moreover, the remarks about "Zhang Chen's thigh pendant" that have been a burden for a lifetime will rear their head again.

Liu Yifei finally opened up a whole new world as a singer, and she didn't want others to attribute all the credit to Zhang Chen.

although
Although she was able to win these awards today, Zhang Chen’s contribution is indeed great.

So Liu Yifei's mood at this moment was particularly complicated.

However, no matter how complicated your mood is, you have to sit and wait for the award ceremony to end.

Now, she also wants to hear what Jolin Tsai will say after receiving the trophy from Zhang Chen.

“It was quite unexpected actually.”

Jolin Tsai said the same thing as Liu Yifei.

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled at Liu Yifei in the audience.

"I was really surprised." Jolin Tsai repeated what she had just said, "Because no matter from which aspect, my album is not as good as Yifei's album."

She stroked the trophy in her hand and said sincerely, "Whether our singers' albums are good or not actually depends on how well they sell."

“Although it’s a bit philistine, it’s the truth.”

Many singers were silent after hearing such blunt remarks.

At this point they had to admit what Jolin Tsai said.

A few years ago, when online songs became popular.

A number of popular songs like "Mouse Loves Rice" are loved by the public, but they have also been confused.

What kind of songs do today's fans like to listen to?

Is it really a good idea if they continue to stick to what they have learned and make songs that fans can't understand?

A song, after all, is a work of art.

Artwork that no one appreciates and no one understands is worthless.

The so-called "Bo Ya seeking a soulmate" is indeed elegant and aloof.

But as commercial singers, most of them have to follow the laws of the market in all their actions.

If only they could make some songs that only people who really understand music can understand.

At the beginning, they would not have chosen to become pop singers.

Wouldn't it be better to choose bel canto, classical music, or opera?
Since they have chosen pop music, they have to listen to the preferences of fans in the market.

Therefore, album sales are the most important criterion for measuring the “goodness” or “badness” of these pop singers.

none of them!

"The album sales of all the singers nominated just now are not as high as Yifei's, right?" Jolin Tsai seemed to have figured something out and regained her smile. "Then I think it's obvious who the Best Mandarin Album award should be, right?"

Everyone was stunned.

What is this for?
Jolin Tsai’s next words gave them the answer.

"So I want to be willful for once. I want to give this trophy to the wrong person!" Jolin Tsai shook her head and denied what she had just said. "I should return this trophy to its original owner!"
