That night, Jiang Yan appeared at the 2001 CCTV-MTV Music Festival held by Yangshi under countless flashing lights.
For the awards ceremony held by Yangshi, Jiang Yan is the number one music star in Asia and one of the top leaders in European and American pop music circles. Yangshi must invite Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan is not available. It is naturally not appropriate to not come when he is free.
In fact, it was precisely because Jiang Yan decided to attend this year that it became quite smooth for Yangshi to invite various singers and stars from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and the United States.
To put it bluntly, if Jiang Yan comes, then the standards of this award ceremony will be really high, instead of the initial "must be high" because it is "mainland", everyone understands.
At the end of the red carpet, as soon as Jiang Yan and his female companion Zhou Gongzi appeared, the flash lights on the scene were turned on several levels. The mainland reporters on the scene immediately grabbed the best position, while the foreign reporters worked harder, fearing that they would not be able to interview for a while.
to the Son of the Wind, which made many celebrities jealous to death, and the organizer was also relieved.
Some people quietly lamented: It is indeed a mainland brand.
Another person said: No, this is something that only comes out every few hundred years!
The red carpet continued, and the organizers gave Jiang Yan longer red carpet time than anyone else. This is what the card deserved.
During the autograph session, Jiang Yan’s signature is also different from that of other celebrities. Others use concierge signature pens, but Jiang Yan uses a brush. This is one of his unique characteristics, and others will not have any objections because of his status.
no the same.
Jiang Yan is an international superstar, and the occasions he faces are more on the international stage, so doing this is to spread Chinese culture, just like Brother Long wears Tang suit in international occasions. If others do this, it is hard to say. It is indispensable.
Will be labeled as a sensationalist.
Moreover, Jiang Yan's hand skills are also very good, and he can withstand a thousand-year-old writing brush. Jiang Yan picked up the writing brush on the etiquette lady's tray and dipped it in ink, and then the pen moved like a dragon, creating an antique and full of artistic running script.
"Jiang Yan" stands out on the entire signature wall.
"good!"
The scene suddenly burst into cheers.
This scene also made those guys who saw this scene for the first time extremely envious.
Good handwriting! Handsome! High status!
When can we do this?
The female stars are thinking, why is the female companion not me?
All in all, I’m envious!
After signing, the reporter will be in the interview area.
After arriving at the interview area, the excitement of the scene reached its peak.
However, the questions asked were quite routine, and the more outrageous one was asking about the relationship between Jiang Yan and Mr. Zhou.
These problems are naturally not a problem for Jiang Yan and the others. After all, nothing happened between them. If Jiang Yan's female companion at this time is Zhang Baizhi, given this girl's big mouth, tomorrow's newspaper might be "Century"
The big melon, the beautiful girl is in the front and the heart is in the river, and the front is green..."
After the interview session, Jiang Yan entered the venue and was greeted by all the guests from the Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and international countries as he walked past.
Yu Quan: "Brother Yan."
"When is the concert? Remember to save your tickets."
Guan Xi: "Brother Yan!"
"Guanxi is here, why didn't you call me in advance?"
Stefanie Sun: "Brother Yan!"
"Classmate Yanzi, has the new album been released?"
A group of younger singers called Jiang Yan brother when they saw him, which made Leehom, who had never met Jiang Yan, also shout: "Hello, brother Yan."
"Hong, I know you, your songs are great, please talk to me more when you have time."
"Okay Brother Yan~"
As soon as Hong finished speaking, several old friends soon came up.
They are the international group "Yoghurt Boys" invited by the organizer this time.
Several foreigners looked excited and admired Jiang Yan when they saw him, and said, "Hello, Son of the Wind, I am Balabala."
Jiang Yan had no impression of this combination at all, but that didn't stop him from giving a friendly response.
The rest of the people who saw this scene were shocked again.
Jiang Yan's international influence was once again refreshed in their hearts.
Of course, Jiang Yan is not the "big brother" all the time. When meeting seniors such as Mao Amin and Han Hong, Jiang Yan will naturally show the respect he deserves.
Among them, there is also someone who is more awkward, and that is Yehenala.
Yehenala and Jiang Yan had some disagreements as early as 1998, but the subsequent development was quite dramatic. Yehenala wanted to compensate, but Jiang Yan soared at a rocket-like speed, making Yehenala stunned.
During this time, she realized that even if she took out all her belongings, it would not be enough. So the so-called "compensation" became a joke, and the relationship between Yehenala and Jiang Yan has always remained awkward.
——At least that’s what Yehenala thinks.
So today when Jiang Yan comes over, Yehenala has already made a decision, that is, "Urine Escape". She will come back when the show starts later, perfect!
And the reality was just as she expected. Until the opening scene, she and Jiang Yan had not met.
Soon the award ceremony started, and the long award ceremony was a bit boring.
At the final stage, Jiang Yan, a big name, appeared and received the "International Most Popular Male Singer" and "Asian Music Outstanding Contribution Award". After singing two songs, the award ceremony came to an end.
Not long after, the award ceremony ended, followed by routine interviews.
At this time, Yehenala was still urinating.
As a result, she suddenly heard a reporter shouting at Jiang Yan:
"Jiang Yan, what do you think of the incident where Tian Zhen dropped the microphone?"
This voice immediately silenced the entire scene.
At this time, everyone was not calm anymore, and everyone focused their attention on Jiang Yan.
At the same time, there were many people looking for the figure of Yehenala, another person involved at the time.
At the same time, the organizers of the event also began to take action to suppress the matter.
But before they could find it, Jiang Yan spoke first.
...
The microphone throwing incident was a major event in the mainland entertainment industry in the first half of 2001. It was a pity that Jiang Yan was on tour at the time, otherwise he would definitely have eaten it on the spot.
But that being said, he naturally didn't want to get involved.
And the facts looked pretty good. At least he was not in the country at that time. This time, the turmoil of the matter subsided.
In the end, I thought everything was over, but I didn't expect that what was supposed to come still came.
Once a person reaches a certain level in the industry, even if he doesn't want to stand out, he may not be able to avoid certain things.
As a recognized figure in the Chinese music scene, when asked in public, it is more inappropriate to avoid answering than to answer directly. This has a direct impact on Jiang Yan's status and responsibility, so now Jiang Yan has to express his attitude.
But having said that, even if you speak out, you will offend some people, but you will also get support from some people, and it will establish and spread your influence and status within the industry.
Of course, some words are good for the industry and society, so you should speak up when you should; some words are good for the industry, but not good for society, so keep your mouth shut when you should.
In short, we stand on the side of the people, on the side of the majority of practitioners at the bottom, and on the side of official support or lack of opposition.
As for the incident of dropping the microphone, it has actually been more than three months since the incident. The difficulty of speaking out at this time is actually much lower than it was then, so it was too easy for Jiang Yan to get full marks in his answer.
So when Jiang Yan came up, he first stirred up public sentiment:
"I know this. To be honest, if I were the person involved, I would be angry too, and even more angry than Teacher Tian Zhen.
You may not understand how I felt at that time, let me just say this. I was on tour at the time, and when I was communicating with European and American musicians, I said that our Chinese music is also very powerful, but a foreigner told me that day that something happened in your Chinese music scene.
this matter.
Think about how I felt at that time!"
After saying that, Jiang Yan sighed slightly, and then officially started to evaluate: "I think the organizer made a very low-level mistake that time, which was a harm to Mr. Tian Zhen himself and the majority of fans, and to the Chinese music industry.
The damage is even greater.
Although many foreign award ceremonies have similar situations, their development is more mature than ours, and many of these situations have become historical lessons.
Therefore, I sincerely hope that major award ceremonies can learn from this lesson. We should take the essence and discard the dross, and try to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. Awards must be fair and just. Everyone speaks based on their work and strength, and don't blindly seek perfection.
Don’t let the general audience see the Mainland Awards Ceremony and have shameful words like “pork sharing”, “poor” and “overbearing” pop up in their minds!”
"good!"
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, some singers at the scene immediately joined in and applauded.
Obviously, although it has been three months since the incident, it still has not passed.
But Jiang Yan was suddenly "forced" to speak out this time, which really brought the matter to a conclusion.
What Jiang Yan didn't expect was that the influence of the music scene would in turn solve his problems in other fields...
