The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 202 Zhang Chen: I don't think he deserves this award.
Around 2003pm on January 1, 19, in front of the Shanghai Grand Theater.

"It's Zhang Chen!"

"Isn't he filming a movie?"

"I haven't seen him in the music scene for a long time. Is it because of F4?"

Under the gaze of fans at the scene, Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei got off the car and walked on the red carpet to the Grand Theater.

The surrounding reporters also rushed to this side frantically, hoping to take a picture of Zhang Chen who had disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time.

This is definitely a headline, and all media outlets don’t want to miss this opportunity.

Before entering the theater, Zhang Chen deliberately stopped at the corner of the door for a while, and only entered after confirming that some preparations were correct.

Most of the guests stood up when they saw Zhang Chen.

The mainland singers are represented by Sun Nan and Han Hong, while in Hong Kong and Taiwan, in addition to the old faces, many new faces have emerged.

Moreover, these new faces from Hong Kong and Taiwan are constantly eroding the market share of the older music veterans.

Among them are Sun Yanzi, Jay Chou, Mayday, Tao Zhe, Wang Lihong and others.

It seems that the development of the mainland music scene seems to have encountered some obstacles, and Zhang Chen is very clear about the source of this obstacle. He also wants to see what interesting things will happen at today's award ceremony.

"Zhang Chen, I haven't seen you at an awards ceremony in a long time."

Although Zhang Chen has an unusual status in the mainland entertainment circle, Han Hong is a senior and has a noble identity, so he can also strike up a conversation with him.

"I haven't paid attention to the music scene for a long time, let's see if there are any newcomers worth paying attention to."

Zhang Chen glanced at the group of people around him meaningfully.

All he saw around him were veterans of the mainland music scene, while those from Hong Kong and Taiwan were newcomers.

"Haha, the newcomers nowadays are really good. We old veterans are almost being eliminated by them."

Han Hong felt a little emotional. What she felt was that the new generation of singers were so strong that it put a lot of pressure on the old singers.

But some people may not say things that are so pleasing to the ear.

"Fortunately, they are not like Zhang Chen, otherwise we old seniors would not be able to suppress them."

The person who was speaking had a fat head and big ears, with a strong Beijing accent, and with hair less than one millimeter long, he looked very ruffian.

"who are you?"

"Don't you know me?" The fat man who was smiling just now suddenly turned gloomy.

"Zhang Chen, this is Zang Tianshuo." Han Hong looked at the fat man with disdain. Although he disliked this guy, he still introduced him to Zhang Chen, "He sang the song 'Friends'."

"Oh, you are talking about this old song. Now that you mention it, I remember it."

Zhang Chen nodded in sudden realization.

In Zang Tianshuo's eyes, this attitude was clearly a mockery of the fact that he only had this one representative work.

"Boy, haven't you heard my other songs? I debuted earlier than you, so it's not too much for you to call me senior, right?"

Who is Zang Tianshuo? He considers himself the big brother of the Beijing music scene.

In his eyes, everyone in the mainland music scene has to give him some face.

If Zhang Chen hadn't risen so quickly and his debut center hadn't been overseas, Zang Tianshuo would have gone to Zhang Chen's house and asked him to pay him homage.

Moreover, he always remembered that he wanted to invite Zhang Chen to stand at the opening of his bar, but was ruthlessly rejected by the people from Chenguang Entertainment.

Zhang Chen ignored this somewhat inflated guy and first glanced at Xue Yining who was standing next to him. After seeing her nod, he looked at Zang Tianshuo.

"just you?"

Zhang Chen looked up and down at his fat and big-eared body and shook his head with disdain.

"Fuck you!"

"Hey, hey, let's talk it over. Let's talk it over. Don't get excited."

Seeing that the situation was somewhat awkward, Han Hong hurried forward to stop it. He couldn't just watch Zang Tianshuo take action in such a situation.

"You kid, let's wait and see."

Zang Tianshuo spat on the ground, said something vicious, and left without looking back.

Zhang Chen looked at the fat figure with some regret, shook his head, and said to Han Hong: "Sister Hong, it's not necessary."

"You really don't mind making trouble. That guy is very arrogant and extremely concerned about his reputation. This time, you two have become enemies."

"Do you think he dares to mess with me?"

"Oh, this guy has made a lot of bad friends over the years and is used to being high and mighty. Do you expect him to swallow this?"

Han Hong was not worried about Zhang Chen, because she was well aware of the power Zhang Chen possessed. What she was worried about was that the mainland music scene might be in turmoil.

"That's good."

After listening to Han Hong's analysis, Zhang Chen felt relieved. If it ended in a whimper, wouldn't it be a waste of the day he had set aside?
"Zhang Chen, you'd better be on guard. I'm afraid he might do something shady."

"So lawless?"

“It’s pretty disgusting anyway.”

Han Hong did not say much. She knew that Zhang Chen himself was not afraid of this person, but Zhang Chen had such a large group of people under his command, it was impossible for him to protect all of them.

Moreover, the headquarters of Chenguang Entertainment is in the capital, and Zang Tianshuo also has some unclear forces in the capital. If he occasionally makes trouble for Zhang Chen's industry, it can sometimes be really disgusting.

"Thank you Sister Hong for reminding me. I will pay attention to it."

Zhang Chen was not someone who would not listen to advice.
We have to be ruthless.

The award ceremony went by very quickly as the singers and the audience chatted with each other.

During this period, most of the singers came to Zhang Chen to say hello. After all, Zhang Chen had not appeared in the music scene for such a long time, and his appearance this time also surprised some new generation singers.

If I don't step forward and show my face in front of Zhang Chen now, I don't know when the next time will be.

"Brother Chen, let's go first."

Seeing that the award ceremony was about to begin, the new generation of singers from Hong Kong, represented by Jay Chou and Janice Sun, said goodbye to Zhang Chen and returned to their seats.

ten minutes later
"Welcome everyone to participate in the 9th Global Chinese Music Chart Awards jointly organized by Spoon TV, Shanghai Media, Sina, and Hong Kong V."

With the host's introduction, this year's award ceremony kicked off amid everyone's anticipation.

This year's awards ceremony also broke the convention, so that performers are no longer equivalent to winners. In other words, there is no longer an unspoken rule that singers who sing on stage for everyone are guaranteed to receive a prize.

This also maximizes the suspense of this session, allowing everyone present to experience the tension of waiting before the awards are actually announced.

"First, we will present the most popular songs from the mainland, which are: "Journey", "About the Present and the Future", "Tomorrow", "It Doesn't Matter", "Don't Ask Anymore", "Tell Me", "Miracle", "Daughter of the Moon", "In a Foreign Land", and "Dream Butterfly"

Zhang Chen sat down and carefully distinguished the songs for a while, and found that he had basically never heard of or listened to any of the ten songs here.

This made him speechless and he couldn't help but sigh. The mainland music scene is really
As the winning singers came on stage to receive their awards, Zhang Chen discovered one thing: these singers were generally over 30 years old.

Before Zhang Chen could continue to sigh, a dramatic scene occurred. The next award was the most popular song award in Hong Kong and Taiwan:
"Paper Plane", "Dear Friend", "See You at 12: at the Orchid Restaurant", "Happy Breakup", "Thank You", "Departure", "Love", "The Second Half of Life", "Black Bat Squadron", "Eternal Night"

Although Zhang Chen had not heard a few of these songs, he still had some impression of most of them.

The most important thing is that the singers who took the stage were all young singers under the age of 30, which formed a sharp contrast with the old mainland singers who just took the stage.

The same goes for subsequent awards.

The best male and female singer awards in the mainland were won by Sun Nan and Han Hong respectively, while the best male singer award in Hong Kong and Taiwan was also won by a veteran singer, Richie Jen.

But when it came to Best Female Singer, it became the new generation's Sun Yanzi.

This also made many audience members at the scene drop their jaws in shock when the award was announced.

You should know that there are many amazing female singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Sun Yanzi has only been in the industry for three to five years, but she has been able to surpass a number of veteran divas to win a major award, which is both surprising and reasonable in the eyes of everyone.

The reason is very simple. Sun Yanzi's development momentum in the past two years has been too fierce.

He has been making great strides in the music industry by releasing two albums a year, making it difficult for many of his senior predecessors to catch their breath.

"Next, we will present the 'Most Popular Songwriter in Mainland China' award. The presenter is a very familiar singer-songwriter. Although he no longer participates in various award ceremonies, he still brings us a variety of beautiful songs every year. Let's invite him."

"Zhang Chen!!!!"

"what!!!!"

The audience at the scene began to shout Zhang Chen's name like crazy.

At this awards ceremony, they were still wondering why no award belonged to Zhang Chen, but after the host's explanation, they realized that Zhang Chen came to the scene today as an award presenter.

And the award was for "Best Singer-Songwriter", which gave a sense of official recognition.

For the winning singer, being awarded the honor of "Best Singer-Songwriter" by Zhang Chen, a singer who enjoys a long-standing reputation in the world, isn't it a recognition of his creative talent?

"Please invite Zhang Chen to come to the stage and announce the grand prize for us."

The host was of course very happy that Zhang Chen was able to come to the scene as a guest to present the award. As someone invited by the organizer, he also knew the significance of having Zhang Chen present the award.

The moment when Zhang Chen hands the trophy to the winner may be the front-page headline of tomorrow!
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Zhang Chen walked onto the stage at a leisurely pace.

After he took the envelope from the host, he did not rush to open it.

Instead, he adjusted the position of the microphone and said:

"Someone told me I was out of fashion when I was filming a movie. I was a little panicked, so I wanted to attend an award ceremony to make my presence felt. I hope you won't find my face, which you've seen so many times, boring."

"How can it be!"

"Zhang Chen, I love you!"

"Zhang Chen, please come to the award ceremony!"

"Are they the shameless fans of those four guys?"

"Who is talking about our geigei?"

"Whoever is in a hurry to speak is the one."

Zhang Chen's words initially made his fans shout no, and they expressed their hope to continue to see Zhang Chen at some evening parties, saying that they could never see enough of him.

The fans who understood Zhang Chen's second meaning directed their criticism directly at a certain group of fans who had been sarcastic towards Zhang Chen on the Internet some time ago.

There were also a group of people at the scene who looked a little embarrassed after hearing what Zhang Chen said.

The third meaning of Zhang Chen's words is that some old faces, in order to prevent the public from thinking that they are out of date, can only make their presence felt at some award ceremonies.

As for the works?

I'm sorry, they only think about making money by performing, and they don't really have the mind to sit down and create properly.

Zhang Chen on the stage opened the envelope containing the winner's name without paying attention to the excited expressions of the people below.

When Zhang Chen saw the name written on the note, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Is this to give him an assist?
The singers and the audience also looked at Zhang Chen on the stage nervously.

From the beginning of this award ceremony, the moment before the award is announced is always exciting.

Because you never know who will win.

Maybe he is a veteran in the music industry, or maybe he is a new generation in the music industry, everything is possible.

But in the eyes of some people in the mainland, the award should belong to them.

"The winner of the 'Best Mainland Singer-songwriter' award is"

Zhang Chen said this while holding up the trophy, raising the suspense to the extreme.

"Zang Tianshuo?"

Zhang Chen's obviously doubtful tone echoed throughout the entire scene.

The audience, who were a beat slow to react, had already started applauding.

For them, this has become a conditioned reflex.

The guest of honor announced and they applauded. This was the established procedure.

When Zang Tianshuo heard Zhang Chen say his name, he stood up with a smile on his face, greeted the people around him, and prepared to go on stage to receive the award.

Although he asked Zhang Chen to present the award to him, he still felt a little embarrassed.

But when he considered that Zhang Chen, a famous singer-songwriter in the world, was going to "crown" him, he was overjoyed.

what is this?
This is the best slogan for him to brag and make money in the future.

[World pop genius creator Zhang Chen presents the 'Best Singer-songwriter' award to Zang Tianshuo]

Could there be a more intriguing title than this?
Zang Tianshuo felt that there was no such thing, so after fantasizing about his future career that would soon become popular, he straightened his clothes and prepared to go on stage to accept the honor.

However, it was a little too early for him to be happy.

Then Zhang Chen on the stage spoke again.

"Wait a minute."

Zang Tianshuo's foot, which had just taken a step forward, froze, and he looked at Zhang Chen on the stage, who was trying to stop him from moving forward, in confusion.

The fat face also turned a lot darker.

In her opinion, Zhang Chen's behavior was very disrespectful to his senior.

"I think Zang Tianshuo is not qualified to receive this award."

　The protagonist is causing trouble at the award ceremony again, hahahaha
　　No one should like Zang, right?
