The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 99 New Album and Grilling on the Fire

February 2rd is the Grammy Awards day.

Zhang Chen once again set foot on the land of the United States.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will take a long time for him to return to China this time.

According to the plan, he will start his global concert tour after the Grammy Awards.

At the same time, his two new albums were released simultaneously last week.

But unlike his previous English albums, this time he plans to release a single every week and concentrate on making it to the charts.

In addition to the Chinese album, he also selected many hits for this English album and condensed them into one record.

English album "stronger"

1. "stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)"

The title song of the same name, translated into Chinese, nothing can defeat you.

This is in response to last year's events.

At the same time, this song will also be nominated for two comprehensive awards, "Production of the Year" and "Single of the Year" in the future.

2. Rolling In The Deep

Falling into the abyss, or because of what happened last year

The original song won the Billboard Singles Chart in 11 and topped the charts for 7 weeks, and eventually won the Billboard Singles Year-End Championship.

The following year, the song won three major awards: "Single of the Year", "Production of the Year" and "Best Short Video".

However, when sung by Zhang Chen, this song lacks some explosive power, so it is hard to say whether the song can still win the original awards and results in his hands.

3. One Day

4. Apologize

5. Believer

6. Let it go

7. Trespassing

Every song is a golden song among golden songs. In Zhang Chen’s memory, even if someone doesn’t know the song title, as long as the prelude is played, they will feel familiar with the song.

This week is also the day when the billboard releases the results.

"Hey, dear friends, your Jerry is here again. This time he brings you a new song called "Stronger" by Leon who has disappeared for half a year. This song has successfully landed at number 3 on the Billboard charts this week. It seems that our little cutie is still so popular." The host of a radio station recommended Zhang Chen's single released this week to everyone.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen was at the Grammy Awards and didn't hear the host calling him a little cutie, otherwise he would have been so angry.

As for why he did not continue to ignore the European and American markets, one reason is that he needs to make money here, so the relationship cannot be too strained.

Another reason was that someone told him on the day of the Spring Festival Gala that he could no longer continue to be so willful.

Now that the country has been integrated with the world, he has an obligation to do so.

Moreover, Capital Music Television will still broadcast the entire event like it did last year, and they need him, a local, to boost the morale of domestic audiences at the Grammy Awards.

Sometimes some competitions are also places where countries compete with each other, such as the Olympics and international award ceremonies.

But this time the referees were all from the other team, so Zhang Chen could only do his best and passively accept the result.

But the same thing goes, if the other party chooses to ignore Zhang Chen's performance, the biggest loss will be to the Grammys because they will lose fairness.

After losing fairness, no one knows whether the Grammy Awards will continue to be the highest honor in the hearts of musicians.

There must be a compromise, and Zhang Chen has already anticipated the outcome.

"Hey, Leon, see you again." This year's Grammy Awards had Will Smith, a veteran actor, as the guest of honor for the opening show.

"Will, do you want to be a guest at my concert?" Zhang Chen began to catch people on the spot, and whoever he caught would be the guest. Will Smith is one of the few stars in the European and American music scene who can be considered a friend.

"I've been wanting to ask you for tickets to your latest concert for a long time. It makes me so sad that you only thought of me now." Will Smith began to criticize Zhang Chen.

"Why do you need a ticket to come here? Just sit on the stage!" Zhang Chen smiled and put his arm around his shoulders.

"That depends on whether I'm free or not. I have a new movie to shoot next." Or maybe it's just that foreigners are straightforward and they will most likely take whatever you say seriously.

"Don't worry, I will definitely arrange everything for you." Zhang Chen couldn't help but say it in Chinese, and after realizing what he said, he translated it again in English: "Don't worry, I will arrange it."

"What did you just say in Chinese?" Will Smith looked at Zhang Chen suspiciously.

"I praise you for being handsome." Zhang Chen gave a thumbs up, his teeth almost flashing.

“Nominees for Best Rap Solo Performance are:

Will Smith

"

When Will Smith heard the award presenter on the stage read out his name, he didn't bother to continue chatting with Zhang Chen. He quickly turned his head to the camera and gave a bright smile.

"The winner is Eminem"

"Don't be discouraged, Will, maybe I'm the same as you." Zhang Chen patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"You? A person who has been nominated for five awards including 'Best Rock Male Vocalist', 'Best Single of the Year', and 'Best Rock Album'?" Will Smith slapped Zhang Chen's hand away in annoyance.

Perhaps to outsiders, Zhang Chen has received five nominations and his chances of winning are very high.

But Zhang Chen is not optimistic.

He looked at Carlos Santana who was sitting not far away. This veteran pop singer who had been in the music industry for 30 years was determined to win this year's Grammy Award.

In the awards ceremony just now, he has won two of the four major comprehensive awards, "Best Album of the Year" and "Best Production of the Year", and also won three other major awards including "Best Rock Album".

Its momentum is approaching the record of Michael Jackson in 1983 when he received 12 Grammy nominations and ultimately won 8 awards.

"Nominees for 'Best Male Rock Vocal Performance' are:
Leon Zhang

Carlos Santana
"

This is Zhang Chen’s last nomination award, and he is competing against the legendary Carlos.

"The winner is Leon Zhang, "Natural"

Zhang Chen went on stage with a confused look on his face. He actually hadn't thought about the winning speech.

I also don't understand why the Grammys gave most of the important rock awards to Carlos, but gave the most crucial Best Singer award to myself.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect to win an award." Zhang Chen pondered for a moment, thinking of the audience on the other side of the ocean listening, he continued, "This is my first time trying rock music, so I think this award should be an encouragement to me in rock music. I will continue to work hard and bring different styles of music to everyone. Thank you."

He had to be very proper and could not be as casual this time as he was last time at home. When he stood on the podium, he had to consider that he was representing more than just himself.

"Dear listeners, Zhang Chen won the Grammy Award for 'Best Male Pop Vocalist' last year and 'Best Male Rock Vocalist' this year. I can't help but wonder how many different styles of music Zhang Chen can play." The host of Capital Music Television was diligently delivering the good news of Zhang Chen's award to the country on the second floor.

After receiving this award, Zhang Chen’s Grammy journey also came to an end.

He needs to go back and think carefully about why he won the award.

Although it would be useless even if he figured it out, he had to understand the United States' intention behind his actions.

"Is it roasting fire?" Zhang Chen had some guesses.

　Today's Chapter 5!
　　I finally finished coding, but I don’t know how long I can keep updating 10,000 words every day.

　　I hope everyone will give me some rewards or vote for me because of my hard work.
