Entertainment 1998

Chapter 477 Chapter 476, Asia's No. Music Star
Yangcheng, NetEase Headquarters
The entire NetEase Entertainment News Department was eagerly waiting, and even Ding Lei, the founder and CEO of NetEase, came over for a few rounds in the morning.

For the first time in history, a Chinese pop singer is expected to win the Grammy Awards, and it's a top star like Jiang Feng.

What is the headline in the headlines?

This is!
In fact, Jiang Feng caused quite a stir as early as last year when the Grammy Awards nominations were announced. Several domestic professional music magazines, such as Contemporary Music, even invited more than a dozen professional music critics to analyze the pros and cons of each song in Jiang Feng's first English music album Natural.

Now that we have reached the most critical juncture, the outside world and the public are paying more and more attention to this matter.

In fact, as early as when Jiang Feng left for the United States to film after the Spring Festival, many domestic media began to build momentum.

Thanks to their unremitting promotion, the Grammy Awards in the music industry have become as well-known in China as the Oscars in the film and television industry.

Many people who originally didn't care about this matter would occasionally take a look at it.

I know that the Grammys are the highest hall of the world's pop music scene, and so far, no Chinese has ever won an important award. In today's international environment where there is one superpower and many strong countries, the United States is leading in economy and culture and has firmly become the center of the world, if Jiang Feng can achieve a breakthrough from zero to one, to some extent, it can also be regarded as winning glory for the country!

Under such circumstances, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the 43rd Grammy Awards ceremony attracted nationwide attention, but with Jiang Feng's influence and the media's crazy hype, the country's attention to this matter has been rising steadily.

On the morning of February 2, an awards ceremony was being held in the United States.

Almost all domestic entertainment media, and even some local media, are now mostly inquiring about news through various channels, preparing to be the first to break the news.

On the Internet, major forums headed by Tianya Community, as well as fan QQ groups and the like, are also waiting anxiously, with various inquiry messages flooding the screen.

In reality, many of Jiang Feng’s relatives and friends were also paying attention to this moment.

"The [Best Newcomer] award is ready!"

Someone in the office shouted, and others began to refresh the external network page.

"Has it been issued? Has it been issued? Why can't I get it here?"

"The award presenter came on stage, and Michael Jackson asked Jiang Feng a question in person. The music album "Natural" is clearly your work, but why, when the album was released, rumors spread in the market that it was written under a pseudonym?"

"Ah, is it true or false?"

"No way?"

"Yes, Phoenix TV entertainment reporter Ke Lan, who was at the award ceremony just now, has already informed his peers from Sohu, Sina and other media of the news in real time over the phone."

After a bespectacled senior reporter from NetEase Entertainment News Editorial Department told the latest news he had received, the office fell silent.

To other media, Jiang Feng might just be a talented singer, actor, director, and screenwriter; but to NetEase, Jiang Feng has another identity, that is, the boss.

That’s right, it’s the boss!

Because according to public information fed back from the U.S. stock market, Jiang Feng has purchased as much as 45.2% of NetEase shares on the open market, making him the largest shareholder of NetEase.

It’s just that Jiang Feng does not participate in any decision-making and operations of the company.

"So, what happened next?"

At this time, a girl with black-framed glasses on her nose raised her hand weakly.

"Later...what happened? I'm not sure. Well, I'll call and ask." The senior reporter who had just spoken picked up the phone again.

"Feng, the music album 'Natural' is clearly your work, but why, when the album was released, there were rumors in the market that it was written under a pseudonym?"

At the award ceremony, Michael Jackson, standing on the stage, stared in the direction of Jiang Feng and asked calmly.

Jiang Feng had answered this question before.

The answers are basically: This is the sincere wish of Michael Jackson's die-hard fans. When they see that there is such a high-quality album in the world, their first reaction is that Michael Jackson is back.

The God in their hearts has returned.

Michael Jackson practiced in seclusion for three years, and now he finally produced a masterpiece, so everyone started celebrating on the Internet. But Jiang Feng hadn't had a chance to say what he had prepared, when Michael Jackson, who was standing on the stage, suddenly laughed.

"Feng, I know that this idea was yours, and your purpose is to let more people know about your new album.

Well, congratulations, you have achieved your goal.

It is said that your album sold 1000 million copies in just three months.

The reason I am here and taking this time to talk about this is to tell you that I really like the album "Natural". I have listened to every song in this album many times, and it has given me a lot of creative inspiration.

Oh, and I'm not angry at all about your behavior."

At this point, Michael Jackson smiled and shook the envelope in his hand, saying, "Okay, let's start presenting the awards now."

As Michael Jackson tore open the envelope in his hand, the camera turned to the five finalists including Jiang Feng. The broadcast screen showed the states of the five people, some nervous, some excited, some worried, some calm, and some confident. Their emotions were different, reflecting the different aspects of life.

Slowly opening the envelope, Michael Jackson glanced at the name on it, his lips curled up slightly, and he announced loudly:

"Feng, congratulations!"

No matter how good Jiang Feng's acting skills were, or how good he was at disguising himself, at this moment when he won the Grammy and created new history, he couldn't help but give a little punch.

Li Wen beside him was so happy that she screamed. She jumped up and hugged Jiang Feng. Looking at her movements and state, people who didn't know would think they were a couple.

Jiang Feng, with a frown on his face, patted Li Wen on the back and put her down. He didn't know whether this beautiful woman did it intentionally or not. She had clearly told him that Wang Fei was sitting in the audience at that moment.

But she still used this over-the-line action to express her inner joy.

But now is not the time to settle accounts with Li Wen. At this moment, the joy of victory overwhelms everything. If there is anything, we can talk about it after receiving the award.

So Jiang Feng let out a light breath, picked up his tie, and walked onto the stage amid applause.

"Congratulations, your music is great!" Michael Jackson took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Thank you!" Jiang Feng shook hands with him.

Then the two of them kissed each other on the cheek again. Jiang Feng then took the gold record trophy from Michael Jackson. He couldn't help but look at it several times, then he shook his head and laughed at the gazes of countless people in the audience:

"To be honest, before coming here, I wrote more than 10 acceptance speeches, and I made sure that every one of them was sincere and emotional. But now, my mind is blank."

"Clap clap clap..."

At this time, the audience and guests in the audience gave applause of understanding.

As the temple of pop music, the Grammy Awards have a special status among all singers. Maybe everyone has different experiences, but they can empathize with Jiang Feng and understand his feelings very well.

Facing everyone's applause, Jiang Feng bowed slightly and continued:

"As a Chinese singer, I feel very proud and honored to stand here today.

Compared to the United States, our Chinese music scene still has a little gap, but all singers and musicians are working tirelessly for it.

I hope that one day I can become a bridge between Chinese music and international music, and work together with everyone to create prosperity for the world pop music scene!

thank you all! "

Having said this, Jiang Feng took a step back, bowed slightly to the audience, raised the trophy in his hand, turned around and walked off the stage.

At this time, the award ceremony was once again filled with thunderous applause.

"Clap clap clap..."
