The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 59: Greetings to You on the Other Side of the Ocean (Please Read)

In addition to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and many Western countries, several Southeast Asian countries are also paying special attention to this year's Grammy Awards, especially South Korea and Japan.

As two countries that are shorter than the United States, they have demonstrated a high degree of admiration for Western culture in all walks of life. Therefore, these two countries are also the countries with the best sales of English albums in Southeast Asia. This is due to population reasons, but more of it is blind worship.

The reason why it is called twisted is that although these two countries are suppressed by the United States in some aspects, their people want to catch up with Europe and the United States in all other aspects.

Now Zhang Chen is an Asian, yes, just an Asian and not a person from their country, but it can also make them feel proud of it. It will not be surprising if news comes out after a while that "Zhang Chen's ancestors have XX bloodline".

In South Korea, Zhang Chen has made a group of female fans shout "Zhang Chen Oppa" at his live broadcast screen, and in Japan, it is even more exaggerated. The media here have given him news headlines such as "The Emperor of Asia Reigns at the Grammy Awards."

Zhang Chen, who was at the Grammy Awards ceremony, had no idea what impact his performance, via the broadcast, would have on him.

After he finished singing, he did not need to go backstage to change clothes like the female singers. He was wearing the same outfit when he came and he was wearing the same dress when he performed on stage, so after singing he went straight to the guest seats in the audience.

This time, Zhang Chen's seat was in the third row. It could be said that except for some highly respected singers and current world-class popular singers, his seat was at the front.

So the person sitting next to me is no longer a not-so-famous singer like Will Smith.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen didn’t have a particularly deep impression of the people sitting next to him.

But he did know the person sitting in the row in front of him.

"Leon, your song is really good!" Celine Dion, who was sitting in front of Zhang Chen's left, turned around and greeted him.

"Thank you, Ms. Dion." Zhang Chen greeted politely.

"You can call me 'Celine'. Everyone calls me that." Celine Dion smiled at Zhang Chen in a friendly manner.

The origin of this name is that she was born in a French-speaking area in Canada, so Céline is pronounced Seh-leen in French, not Say-leen in English.

Her husband also once called her "Emperor Xi" at a concert, and her fans have spontaneously continued to use this name to this day.

"I thought I could see you when I went to Hong Kong Island last year." Celine Dion talked about what she saw and heard last time in Hong Kong Island.

"Haha, I don't meet their award criteria, so you are expecting something wrong." This was the only way Zhang Chen could answer the other party's doubts.

"You? You don't meet the requirements? This is the best joke I've ever heard." Celine Dion was also a little bit unbelievable when she heard Zhang Chen's answer.

"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact." Zhang Chen shrugged helplessly, and then changed the subject: "Xi Di, you are the favorite to win tonight. Ever since I heard you sing "My Heart Will Go On" here last year, I felt that this song would definitely become a classic."

"Leon, I don't have as many nominations as you." Celine Dion praised Zhang Chen and mentioned his excellence. "If you want to talk about the most nominations, it's not me." Zhang Chen glanced at the female singer Lauryn Hill who was not far behind him.

Celine Dion also followed Zhang Chen's gaze and looked at the favorite to win tonight. She could only give Zhang Chen a noncommittal expression. Then, at the voice of the award presenter, the two ended their conversation and refocused their attention on the stage.

"The nominees for Album of the Year are:
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Lauryn Hill, Raffhouse/Columbia Records
Leon, Leon Zhang, Jianhui Zhou/Warner Music
"

"The winner is..." The award presenter slowly opened the envelope, which made everyone's heart rise to their throat. The same was true for Zhang Chen. If there was any award that he had a hope of winning, then this award was one of them.

"Leon, Leon Zhang! Congratulations!" When the award presenter said Zhang Chen's name, everyone at the scene burst into warm applause.

"Dear listeners! Zhang Chen won the 'Best Album of the Year Award', one of the four most prestigious comprehensive awards at the Grammy Awards. Let us wish him continued success and more awards!" In the broadcast room on the second floor, the reporter excitedly conveyed the latest news to the other side.

At the same time, Zhang Chen also came to the stage amid everyone's congratulations.

"To be honest, this year's Grammy Awards is different for me than last year, because last year I came here alone, but today, at this year's Grammy Awards, I have listeners from my home country across the ocean following me. Hello, friends who are listening to the show!" Zhang Chen's last sentence was in Chinese. This sentence did not need to be translated by a reporter, and was directly transmitted to thousands of households on the other side of the ocean through the broadcast channel.

"At the same time, I am very grateful to Mr. Zhou Jianhui of Warner Records for winning this award. He helped me when I debuted and helped me get to where I am today. Thank you." The Best Album award is an honor for the album producer and the company, so Zhang Chen also needs to express his gratitude to the behind-the-scenes workers who produced this album.

"Finally, I would like to thank the Grammys once again for being able to fairly treat singers from all over the world with different nationalities, races, and ages. Because of this, I can proudly share my joy with my compatriots on the other side of the ocean through the broadcast. Finally, I would also like to thank all the fans who support me and love me. Thank you!"

Zhang Chen first gave Grammy a compliment, it’s a mutually beneficial relationship, if you give me an award I will praise you.

Finally, he thanked the domestic listeners and all his fans again.

A paragraph of thanks that is not entirely from the heart, but can be considered sincere.

Moreover, Zhang Chen had said everything he needed to say, leaving no room for leeway. After all, he was already extremely lucky to win a major award this time, and Zhang Chen felt that it was unlikely that he would win the award again.

Following the awarding of the "Best Album of the Year", various sub-awards were announced. Hill, who lost one of the most important awards to Zhang Chen, won the "Best R&B Song", "Best R&B Album", and "Most Recent Blues Rhythm Female Artist" in the following blues sub-awards.

It can be said that Hill has won all the major awards in blues music.

And next, there was another award that Zhang Chen was nominated for.
