Chapter 518 (1/2)
As soon as Liang Kun returned home, many media heard the news and wanted to interview him. Constantine's phone was almost blown up.
Liang Kun is already the most topical star in Asia. In the past, Yao Ming's exposure was a little higher, but Yao Ming played in the Rockets for many years. He didn't even pass the first round of the playoffs. He was robbed of the limelight by Liang Kun who came to the United States.
At the beginning of 2007, Liang Kun was constantly making big news. In addition to starring in two films, he has also won two Grammy nominations and will attend the Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on February 11.
Liang Kun arranged his trip and didn't want to stay in Los Angeles until February. He came back for a month and then went home for the new year.
He also set a historical record. Before that, no Chinese singer had nominated for the Grammy Music Award. He was nominated for the ”Best Pop Performance Award” and ”Vivalavida” was nominated for the song of the year.
If he hadn't only released two EP records and didn't participate in the program, the American media thought he could nominate ”best pop singer” because the quality of his four songs was too high.
Vivalavida is likely to win the song of the year award. After its launch last year, it became popular and ranked first in the music charts of many European and American countries.
In addition to the Grammy nomination, Liang Kun was also nominated for the most popular film song of the ”people's Choice Award”. Due to the inconsistency between Vivalavida and happy death day, it lost to ”life on the highway” of racing story.
If a Chinese can win the Grammy Award, it will undoubtedly prove his influence in the global music circle. If we say ”music has no borders”, then for Chinese singers, we need a Grammy trophy.
Liang Kun's achievements in the music world are unmatched in Asia. Jay Chou is also an excellent creative singer. Compared with him, he doesn't seem so powerful. He can't go out of China. Some Xiangjiang people said that Xiangjiang's ”singing God” was better, and most people said ”ha ha” after listening to it.
On the third morning of returning home, Liang Kun held a press conference in the dining hall of Wanliu golf club. It's not dinner time. There's a lot of room to clean up the table. Wedding banquets are often held here.
Nearly 100 reporters were present, and long guns and short guns were aimed at Liang Kun.
Liang Kun sat on the stage for a while and quickly checked the available tasks of the reporters present. There were four oranges, most of which were yellow. The reporters of the four orange missions came from other places. They were young and wanted to make big news. They had enough energy to interview.
Liang Kun took it all and finished it if he could. It doesn't matter if he can't finish it. Anyway, he can't avoid being interviewed.
He chose to be a star for today's situation. He doesn't have to look for good things to do. Many people will come to him and send some tasks to the door.
There are many waiters and security guards at the scene to help maintain order. This is the industry of ”brother-in-law” Wei Kun's family. Liang Kun wants to do activities, and the restaurant fully cooperates. Liang Kun likes to hold a press conference here and advertise for the club.
The reporters took turns asking questions, first about the Grammy nomination.
Liang Kun said: ”I am very happy to be nominated for the Grammy. I will continue to write English songs in the future. There will also be Mandarin ones, but many are sung for others.”
The reporter asked: ”do you have a concert plan in China this year?”
”Not this year. It's too busy. Let's talk about it later.” Liang Kun said with a smile: ”I don't have a fixed soundtrack team. I can't open it immediately.”
The reporter asked: ”Liang Kun, your self directed and self performed escape from the secret room has achieved good box office results. You will play an important role in two major films this year. Do you have any special feelings?”
”I especially want to say sorry to my family, because I often have to stay abroad and have no time to accompany my parents. They will worry about my bad life in the United States and fear that I will suffer losses in a foreign country. As a star, I am very successful, but as a child, I am not as good as my sister.”
Liang Kun's answer received a lot of applause. Chinese people have always attached great importance to filial piety and inherited it from generation to generation.
If children stay on the other side of the earth for a long time, the old man will certainly worry, even if the child is Liang Kun. Liang Kun wrote songs for his parents in his previous Mandarin album. In people's opinion, he is a person who attaches importance to his family.
A reporter immediately asked, ”many Chinese people will choose to immigrate abroad after becoming famous. You have made achievements in Hollywood. Will you consider immigrating to the United States in the future?”
”I will take the green card of the United States, because there are many things there, and it is more convenient to have a green card. But I certainly won't change my nationality. It's much more difficult to join Chinese nationality than to join American nationality. It's easy to change it, but it's hard to change it back in the future.”
There was a burst of laughter and applause from reporters.
