Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 138 Invitation to the Thai Film Awards

“Mr. Zhou, welcome to Thailand. We all know that you are the most popular singer in Asia and you have many fans in Thailand.

What do you think of Thailand?

"Mr. Zhou, the tickets for your two concerts in Thailand were sold out within a week. Many fans failed to get tickets. Have you considered adding more shows?"

"Mr. Zhou, the Thailand Golden Swan Awards will be held during your concert. Will you attend the awards ceremony?"

……

Zhou Ziheng himself did not expect that he would be so popular in Thailand.

In addition to fans, there were also a large number of media at the scene.

Some of these media interviewers spoke broken Chinese, while others asked questions directly in Thai.

They all surrounded him, as if they would not let him leave unless he said a few words.

"I just found out that I'm so popular here. I'm very grateful to my Thai fans for their support. Thank you very much!"

“I’m very sorry about the concert, we didn’t plan ahead well.

But hosting a concert is a very tedious task. Although I really want to add more shows, the fact is that I can't do it in the short term.

So, I can only say sorry to everyone.

But don’t worry, I will try to hold more concerts in Bangkok next time.”

"Regarding the Golden Swan that this friend mentioned, I haven't received any information. If, if the organizer invites me and I am free, I will consider appearing."

After answering a few questions, Zhou Ziheng planned to leave.

It's just that he somewhat underestimated the appeal of Chinese stars, or to be more precise, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars here.

These Thai media probably mistook him for a Hong Kong star.

When a Hong Kong star finally came to Thailand, he immediately relied on him.

First, I asked him about his personal records and movies.

Then he started asking questions and started asking about other stars.

For example, Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat.

Some people even asked him about Bao Zheng and Bai Suzhen.

Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat needless to say.

Jackie Chan is undoubtedly the No. 1 in Asia today and is very famous in almost all Asian countries.

And Chow Yun-fat.

This guy has a very strong influence in Southeast Asia. The movie "A Better Tomorrow" made him an idol for countless Hong Kong film fans in Asia.

As for Bao Zheng and Bai Suzhen.

In recent years, with the gradual rise of the television industry.

TV series from China are also very popular in other Asian countries.

Especially in the past two years, Taiwan's TV series have been extremely popular. Many of their TV series have been introduced to other countries and have broken viewership records one after another.

"Justice Bao" and "The Legend of the New White Snake" are among the best.

It is still being broadcast on Thai TV.

It was not just a matter of once or twice, but it was rebroadcast several times, and its ratings still topped the TV dramas on all major TV stations at the same time.

The Thai reporters were too enthusiastic, and Zhou Ziheng was here for the first time. He didn’t want to offend the media, nor did he want to leave a bad impression on Thai fans.

Therefore, I had to give up the plan of rushing to the hotel and stayed outside the airport for about an hour.

Just like in the future when Chinese reporters see Hollywood stars, they will try every means to ask them what they think of their country's stars.

The same is true for journalists here in Thailand.

These reporters would try every possible means to ask Zhou Ziheng about their opinions on the stars from their country.

To be honest, Zhou Ziheng didn’t even know whether the celebrities these reporters were talking about were male or female.

He could only smile and say, "Very good." "He's great." "I think he's a nice person." and so on.

Zhou Ziheng really doesn't know much about Thailand.

In his past and present life, the only Thai star he knew was Tony Jaa.

As for the rest, I don't know at all.

He even didn't know what the reporter had asked about the Golden Swan. He felt that he was on someone else's territory and he had to understand the situation on the other side.

So, after returning to the hotel, he immediately asked the person in charge of EMi Thailand to find a lot of information on this topic for him.

First, find out who are the most popular stars in Thailand to avoid making a fool of yourself when being asked.

And then there is the golden swan.

He found out only after he got the information about the Golden Swan.

This turned out to be a film award.

This award, also known as the Thai Film Supannahong Award, is currently one of the most authoritative and well-known film awards in Thailand.

Unlike some other award ceremonies organized by film magazines, the Golden Swan Awards are co-organized by the Thai Ministry of Culture and the Film Association.

It is the most prestigious film awards ceremony in the Thai film industry every year. Although it has only been held three times, its status in the hearts of Thai filmmakers is equivalent to the "Golden Horse Awards" for Chinese-language films, and it is also known as the Thai Oscars.

Originally, Zhou Ziheng thought that film awards had nothing to do with him and had no intention of learning more about them.

Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Florence Hui received an invitation.

It was the invitation from the Golden Swan Film Awards.

The Thai Film Association solemnly invited him to attend this year's Golden Swan Awards and serve as the presenter of the Best Film Award.

To be honest, Zhou Ziheng didn't want to accept it at first.

But there was no way, Golden Swan gave too much.

They offered two million to invite Zhou Ziheng to attend.

Two million RMB.

Moreover, Zhou Ziheng doesn’t have to do anything else. He just needs to go on stage to present the awards and say a few words.

He didn't even have to sing.

Honestly, this isn't such a good deal.

You don't have to do anything, just show up on stage and say a few words, and you can get two million.

This money is easier to make than in his country.

This also made Zhou Ziheng realize how useful the skin of Hong Kong stars is.

For the sake of money and the fact that the award would indeed bring exposure and provide him with some influence in Thailand, Zhou Ziheng finally got Florence Hui to agree to attend.

……

【Chinese Hong Kong superstar Zhou Ziheng arrives in Bangkok】

[Chinese superstar Zhou Ziheng frankly said he likes Thailand]

[Zhou Ziheng appeared at the airport and had an intimate conversation with reporters for two hours with a kind attitude]

[Chinese superstar singer Zhou Ziheng will attend the 7th Golden Swan Awards]

[When will Thailand have a superstar of this size?]

The next day, the news that Zhou Ziheng arrived in Thailand became the headline of the day in Thailand.

Almost all the questions Zhou Ziheng was asked at the airport that day were published in the newspapers.

It’s true that being humble and low-key is very useful.

The Thai media is obviously very impressed by Zhou Ziheng's respect for Thailand.

When reporting, almost all of it was positive.

This made Zhou Ziheng feel a little embarrassed.

When he was in Hong Kong and Taiwan, no matter when the media reported on him, if there were two good reports, there would definitely be two bad ones.

It's rare to see such unanimous praise as in Thailand.

In addition, he was actually very perfunctory when he was interviewed.

He was very tired at the time and wanted to finish early and go back to the hotel to rest.

After seeing all the positive reviews from the Thai media, he felt embarrassed.

I can only make up my mind to be more careful next time.
