The news that Jiang Yan was going to become the Olympics ambassador spread among the crew that night.
In fact, no one had much idea about the image ambassadorship or the Olympic bid at the beginning.
Is it important to bid for the Olympics?
This is what many people think.
This is not their fault. After all, when the country did not fully publicize the hosting of the Olympic Games, many people did not understand the importance of it. Even after more than ten years, many people did not understand its significance.
Just like Jiang Yan always privately scolded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for repeatedly "condemning" it, thinking it was too soft and cowardly.
But this is normal, after all, it is difficult for people to exceed their own cognitive boundaries.
Moreover, this matter is indeed too far away from them at present.
"I don't watch the Olympics", "I watch football", "How much does it have to do with me that it is held?" or even "It wastes people and money, and many people still can't afford to eat."
So at the beginning, everyone mainly simply sent their blessings to Jiang Yan for becoming an image ambassador, and then did whatever he wanted to do.
However, several knowledgeable crew members revealed that "The Swordsman" will be Jiang Yan's first external publicity project after becoming the image ambassador.
Then these people began to wonder, what does the image ambassador have to do with our drama?
So Big Beard and others began to popularize science, and this science popularization naturally started with the importance of bidding for the Olympics.
In one sentence: China needs status and the world's understanding.
Through Big Beard’s mouth, many people who didn’t understand understood the significance of the Olympic bid.
In addition, they also know that the so-called image ambassadors don't care about these things, but they have to have something in their hands to shout out, and they can't just talk in vain.
If we want the world to know China and the capital, cultural products are naturally the first choice and the most advantageous weapon.
Although "The Swordsman" is a work by Xiangjiang Jin Yong, Jin Yong is also from China, and the film contains "a great hero, a tragic song that breaks down the world, and a love affair that is both good and evil.
The themes of "A Turbulent Jianghu" are indeed innovative and represent a part of Chinese culture. In addition, martial arts movies and kung fu movies are China's business cards, so this will naturally give Jiang Yan a great boost.
After everyone listened and thought about it carefully, they quickly became as excited as the bearded Wei Zi before.
"The Swordsman" is about to go overseas! And it still takes on such an important responsibility! How can it be a good performance?
As a result, the subsequent crew operations became even more efficient.
Even if Big Beard has said it, this is not the first time that a domestic film and television drama project has gone overseas, and "The Swordsman" is only one of Jiang Yan's helpers. It is not known how effective it will be, but no one cares.
They just want to do their best to show foreigners that our Chinese TV series are the best.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, everyone is working hard, but you pull your hips. When the time comes, your embarrassment will be exposed to the international community. You can say whether it is embarrassing or not!
On January 14th, with the blessing of everyone on the set, Jiang Yan temporarily left the set and headed to the capital. Along with him, in addition to Li Xiuxiu and Wu Yong, there was also Warner Bros. Zhou Jianhui.
Zhou Jianhui is like a "concubine" in Jiang Yan's territory. However, although Jiang Yan has never paid much attention to music, this concubine is very beautiful and has a lot of resources behind her. When needed, she can
It gave him a great boost, so he was not completely relegated to the sidelines. He still had to turn over the cards when it was time to turn them over.
But this time it was still the same as the previous times. Before he could call the eunuch to come over, the concubine came to the door on his own.
The reason is very simple, because Jiang Yan has made a new breakthrough in music.
In terms of music, entering the new year, the competition in the Chinese music scene has been fierce from the first day.
On the 1st, Milk Tea Liu Shengsheng's sixth album "Nianhua" was released. The song "Chengquan" in the album is still her masterpiece. Nine days later, Dai Penni released her second new album "How". That song was later used in concerts.
The title song "How" of the same name, which caused a stir among male fans, was released.
At about the same time, Power Train's "Walking Zhongxiao East Road Nine Times" swept the mainland two months earlier than the original time and space.
In addition to these, new songs from new and old singers have begun to spread.
Among them, the most popular singer is Stefanie Sun, the "unpopular singer" who swept almost all Chinese new artist awards last year.
In early January, Stefanie Sun released her second career album "The Happiness I Want".
The most popular thing in this album is not the title song of the same name, but "Began to Understand".
Sometimes a song's popularity and high quality can cover up all the flaws.
So Stefanie Sun was officially called "the next queen" by many media this time.
However, Stefanie Sun's popularity was quickly overtaken by a "crossover singer", who is Xiao Yanzi.
In early January, Xiao Yanzi released the pre-album "Love is Deep in the Rain" to build momentum for the Qiong Yao drama "Love is Deep in the Rain" which will be released in Wanwan in March.
The title song of the same name in the album has unsurprisingly become the most popular song at the moment due to its highly popular melody, which once again proves the popularity of Xiaoyanzi.
It's just that Xiao Yanzi's fate is similar to that of Stefanie Sun. Her new album had not been popular for two days when news came from the other side of the ocean, and then the entire Chinese music scene once again fell into the "Jiang Yan Moment".
January 10, 2001.
The nominations for the 44th Grammy Awards were announced five days later than the original time and space.
Among the nominations list of Original Time and Space, the band U2 from Ireland received the most attention, which received 8 nominations, including Best Record of the Year, Best Album of the Year, Best Song of the Year, Best Rock Vocal Group, and Best Rock Song.
, Best Rock Album, etc.
In addition to U2's 8 nominations, 26-year-old soul singer Indiaarie, who has just debuted, and 20-year-old Alicia Keys have received 7 and 6 nominations respectively this year, taking home the best record of the year, best album of the year, and best album of the year.
Best Song, Best Newcomer of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocalist.
Since their nominations are focused on these awards, the competition between them will be the most intense and highly anticipated.
In addition to the competition for these three awards, Chinese musician Tan Dun also received great attention when he was nominated for best composition for the film version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
But now that Jiang Yan has joined, everything has changed again.
This year's Grammy Awards, Jiang Yan won 6 nominations for "joey2".
best record of the year
best album of the year
best single of the year
Best Male Pop Vocalist
Best Pop Vocal Vocal Award
best rock song
At the same time, his "dna3" was also successfully nominated for "Best World Music Album" as a world album.
This is not over yet, "Jiang Yan's Epic Trilogy" by the Yangtze River Symphony Orchestra also won two awards this year, the Best Performance and Arrangement Award and the Best Orchestral Performance Award.
As a result, there were a total of 9 nominations, making Jiang Yan directly the person who received the most attention at this year's Grammy Awards.
Of course, this nomination method has naturally been questioned by many people.
How can one person submit three albums?
But don't worry, it's all according to the rules.
In addition to "joey2", "dna3" is a world music album.
The two categories of awards do not prohibit the same singer from participating, so Jiang Yan can naturally cross both categories at the same time.
And "Jiang Yan's Epic Trilogy" is produced by the Yangtze Symphony Orchestra, so it doesn't affect it.
You have the rules, I use the rules, it makes sense.
Therefore, there is such a strange existence as Jiang Yan.
However, Western musicians really have nothing to say about this.
There is no other reason, just because of strength.
"joey2" has been released for three and a half months, and has already exceeded 8 platinum sales in terms of sales, and the music quality is also quite impressive, otherwise it would not have been nominated.
"dna3" has also achieved 8 million sales worldwide, which is currently the highest-selling among "world music albums", and the quality is also good.
"Jiang Yan's Epic Trilogy" is a symphony, and the quality is also acceptable. In addition, Yangyin has toured more than 50 times in the past year, leaving a deep impression on world music, so it is not a problem to be nominated.
big.
Of course, what people don’t know is Jiang Yan’s silent contribution. Xingchenhai and Warner spent a lot of public relations expenses, but this kind of thing is the rule of the game. If you pay, I will pay. It’s just that you pay 100 yuan.
I only paid one hundred and two.
And this approach may not have much impact on the final awards. Maybe Jiang Yan will not receive any of the 9 nominations in the end.
But it doesn't matter, 9 nominations are just a gimmick.
After all, who can directly span pop, rock, orchestral styles and multiple languages?
Those who are engaged in business want this kind of hype!
And Grammy is not likely to give you zero points, because this is unrealistic. "Dna3" and "Jiang Yan's Epic Trilogy" are just that, but "joey2" is really competitive and cannot win.
A prize is unacceptable.
Of the 9 songs in an album, 7 have stayed in the top ten of Billboard for at least 10 weeks, and 3 of them have won the number one spot.
If we can't win an award with such achievements, Grammy's credibility will definitely be greatly compromised.
Moreover, it is still a relatively fair, no, it should be said that it is a relatively moral era in the United States. With all the money given, the problem will not be too big. If it were placed 20 years later, Jiang Yan might really be worried.
Having said that, after the news that Jiang Yan directly and indirectly received 9 nominations this time came back to the country, the country unsurprisingly exploded again.
Media from all walks of life rushed to tell each other.
Celebrities from all over the world expressed congratulations and envy when being interviewed.
Fans of all kinds were overjoyed.
In addition to these conventional reactions, the Olympic bid committee has finally let go of the last stone in its heart.
Because Jiang Yan is only 21 years old after the Chinese New Year, he is too young, so there is indeed some pressure on him as an image ambassador.
But now it's better, Jiang Yan once again proved his international status.
At the same time, the most important thing is that Jiang Yan is not only enjoying himself this time, but also bringing Chinese culture with him.
"Best World Music Album" comes into play at this time.
The term "world music" was first coined in Great Britain in 1987 to help "promote the music of non-Western artists." The Grammy Awards were officially established in 1992 for the "Best World Music Album" category.
To put it bluntly, it is an award set by Westerners for other "non-mainstream music" in order to occupy the cultural commanding heights and show that they are the authority.
The higher-ups must know about this, but it is not entirely without benefits.
After all, world music from China has been nominated for "the most important award in the Western mainstream world", which can definitely give China a lot of publicity.
In addition to this, the core of "Jiang Yan's Epic Trilogy" is also related to this Olympic bid.
You see, we have gone from ruin to awakening to our current rise. This is what we want to show the world.
Therefore, after the nomination, the Olympic Bid Committee immediately used "Trilogy" as the background music of some promotional videos.
As for Jiang Yan's image ambassador, there is basically no resistance from top to bottom.
On January 15, 2001, the BJ Olympic Bidding Committee announced today that it has hired Yaping, Gong Huang, Yang Lan, Sang Lan and Jiang Yan as the "image ambassadors" of the BJ 2008 Olympic Bidding Committee.
Tonight, at the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala broadcast and recording site, Liu Jingmin, executive vice chairman of the BJ Olympic Bid Committee, presented the award to the beloved gymnast Sang Lan, TV host Yang Lan and the famous singer and Olympic champion Jiang Yan.

This is the second batch of Olympic bid "image ambassadors" hired by the BJ Olympic Bid Committee after Hong Kong movie star Long Ge. So far, the BJ Olympic Bid Committee has hired 6 people as "Image Ambassadors" for the Olympic bid.
Due to study and work reasons, Yaping, an Olympic champion who is studying in the UK and a member of the International Olympic Committee Athletes Commission, and Gong Huang, a film actor with wide influence at home and abroad, were unable to come to Beijing to accept the appointment letter tonight.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Amid warm applause, Sang Lan was in a wheelchair, pushed by Jiang Yan and Yang Lan, to the Spring Festival Gala held by Beijing TV Station at the Workers' Gymnasium.
Recording scene.
Sang Lan, a former Chinese gymnast who was disabled after a fall while participating in the Universiade, was in a particularly good mood tonight and happily answered the host's questions.
She said she was grateful to the BJ Olympics Bid Committee for trusting her. Although she has limited mobility, she will express the wishes and true feelings of the Beijing people in bidding for the Olympics to her friends at home and abroad through letters and phone calls.
Yang Lan, who is currently the chairman of Sunshine Culture Film and Television Company, introduced herself that she had just given birth to a girl. Eight years ago, she went to Monte Carlo as the host of the Yang TV program to report on the International Olympic Committee's selection of the host city for the 2000 Olympic Games.
101st meeting.
It is very regrettable that BJ failed to bid for the 2008 Olympic Games. She returned to BJ in tears. Today she is honored to be hired as the image ambassador of BJ's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games. She will do more publicity work for BJ's bid for the Olympics through cultural media.
She said that by then, she hopes to come back from Moscow with a smile.
Jiang Yan, who currently owns the largest film and television company in China, introduced himself that he had just won the men's basketball championship at the Sydney Olympics. He knew how well an Olympic Games could show the face of a country to the world. A year ago, he went to the United States as a
As a Chinese, in addition to feeling the world's culture, he also expressed deep concern about foreign people's misunderstanding of China. So far, many people still think that Chinese people have braids. So far, many people still think that Chinese people have braids.
He feels that there is not a single high-rise building in China. Regarding this, he feels that as a cultural worker, he will introduce a real capital city to the world in various aspects such as film and television, music and sports.
He said that he was grateful to the BJ Olympics Bid Committee for trusting him. We will definitely triumph in July this year!
(I really don’t want to delay, but as a overtime dog, I can’t help it, so forgive me everyone)
