Chapter 837: Inheritance of the King of Heaven

In 1996, Chen Kangjie did not attend the Grammy Awards ceremony. This reason was joyful and sad. Because if he went there this year, Chen Kangjie would stand on the stage of competition with his idol Michael Jackson. This is actually a scene that Chen Kangjie didn't want to see. It was not that he didn't want to see Michael Jackson, but that he didn't want to see his loss, and this loss might be caused by himself.

Dickens once commented on the British in the Industrial Revolution, "This is the best era and the worst era." This sentence is actually not bad in the 1990s. As for the music circle, it is said that he is the best era, that is, you can see Michael Jackson's exquisite dance and super cool MV during this period, and you can also enjoy music with a variety of LONG styles that can bring passion and touch to people. It is said that he is the worst era because starting from 1996, Michael Jackson's music career will obviously go downhill. From 1996 to more than ten years from his death, he only released one album.

In 1995, Jackson released the double-disc album "HIStory" on June 16. Michael Jackson performed keyboards, synthesizers, drums, percussion instruments and guitars in History albums. HIStory gives people unlimited imagination space. It mainly records Jackson's hardships and well-known struggles. Jackson has extraordinary achievements. The first single "HIStory" "scream" is a song struggle against the media. The MV was completed by Jackson and his sister Jenny Jackson.

This album entered the Grammy and formed a competitive trend with Chen Kangjie's "bemylove". It was not that Chen Kangjie's confidence, nor that Michael Jackson's "HIStory" was not good. It was because of his long-term silence, coupled with his age, his peak period has passed. It was basically no suspense to lose to Chen Kangjie, who is on the rise.

The person who represented Chen Kangjie to receive the award was Fan Wenxuan Monica. In the most important award-winning album, "bemylove" and "HIStory" were both shortlisted, but the final winner was Chen Kangjie's "bemylove". The judges felt that it was more artistic and more popular in the market. At that moment, although Michael Jackson wore his signature sunglasses, Chen Kangjie in front of the TV could still feel his loss through the camera.

"First of all, I'm sorry, I have to say SORRY to the organizers and friends of the conference on behalf of LONG. Because of learning reasons, LONG himself cannot be present in person. He entrusted me to convey a few words. First, he is very grateful to the fans for their support and love. You are his best friends and his best soulmate. Without you, there would be no him. Second, I would like to thank the judges for their hard work and superb music and art identification ability. You gave him glory and confidence. Thank you. Third, LONG entrusted me to say something specifically to Mr. Michael Jackson, saying that you are his true idol, and the music artist he admires the most is you. Thank you, thank you everyone." This is the award speech that Fan Wenxuan said when receiving the award on behalf of Chen Kangjie.

The previous words are similar to every award recipient. Anyway, thanking the fans is certain. The last sentence Chen Kangjie entrusts is not that he wants to comfort the lost Michael Jackson, but that he really admires him, appreciates him, and admires him. Others’ identity as a pop king is not a fictional reputation. Whether it is music, dance or MVs spread all over the world, they are all works of art that make people appreciate a certain memory. The most important thing is that it is not like Chen Kangjie. Moreover, Chen Kangjie also admires Michael Jackson's character. Although he will have lawsuits and people have misunderstood him at one time, his love for children and his contribution to charity are incomparable to other artists.

Perhaps it was the comforting effect of Chen Kangjie's words, or perhaps it was Jackson, who was the uncle's generation, who saw through gains and losses, and calmed down. When Fan Wenxuan walked off the stage with the trophy, Michael Jackson took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with her and congratulate her. For many fans, it would be great if Chen Kangjie was present in person at this moment. It was a little regretful. They felt that if Chen Kangjie shook hands with Jackson, it would be a gathering of two generations of kings, which also indicates the inheritance and continuation of the popular kings. However, this is exactly what Chen Kangjie doesn't want to face for the time being.

In fact, "HIStory" is a really good album. The second single "YouAreNotAlone" with RB style rushes into the top three of the Billboard singles chart in the first week of its release, but the top two were occupied by Chen Kangjie. The third single "earthsong" was in the UK. It won the championship position in the first week of its release and won the championship for 6 weeks, becoming the most important Christmas championship song in the history of the British singles chart. Of course, this is because Chen Kangjie won the championship for 13 weeks in the previous one. If they were released in the UK at the same time, "earthsong" might not have such a good result. This may be the strategy that the production company Sony took the initiative to avoid the strong momentum LONG.

At the Grammy in 1996, "HIStory" only won one award, which is mainly targeting the media's "scream" created by the media for his accusations in the 1993 case last year. It won the "Best Music Short Film" award in the 1996 Grammy Award, and Chen Kangjie's gains were much richer. In addition to "Best Album of the Year", he also won "Best Pop Male Singer", "Best Rock Male Singer", and "Best Record of the Year", because in addition to English, this album also has English. There are other languages, and they are all very popular songs. They also won the "BestWorld Music Album". Because the entire album was independently completed by Chen Kangjie, he also won the "Best Composition Award". Chen Kangjie also tried shooting MVs for the first time in "bemylove", so he won the Best Short Music Video Award.

Compared with the last time, Chen Kangjie really returned with a full load in 1996, and every prize was heavy, which made Fan Wenxuan proud and excited every time she went on stage, and felt embarrassed. The result of being soft-hearted was that everyone hoped for when he got the award, but Chinese people could not get rid of their implicit and humble nature.

The organizing committee was more or less dissatisfied with Chen Kangjie's inability to go to receive the award in person. Last year, because of his reasons, the National Audio and Science Society of the United States was widely criticized and was overwhelmed by millions of protest letters from all over the world. This year, he was given so many awards, but Chen Kangjie still did not come. They also expect Chen Kangjie to come to the scene in person and say a few fair words for the National Audio and Science Society of the United States to return the influence. How could this guy still disappear like he looked down on the Grammy Awards?

However, what made them feel better was that Chen Kangjie did not attend the Oscars held at the L.A.County Music Center.

There is still no suspense. "Forrest Gump" which has just been released not long ago will lead the Oscars, with Jon Gordon receiving the award on his behalf.

"Forrest Gump" defeated "Brave Heart" and "Apollo XIII" and won the best film. Tom Hanks beat Nicholas Cage in "Far Away from Casino" and Sheen Pan in "Deathmistress" and "Death-Back" won the winner again, while Chen Kangjie himself defeated Mel Gibson and Tim Robbins, two rivals, won his first Oscar for Best Director. He was the first Chinese to win this honor and the youngest director in Oscar history. Although he is Chinese and not old, he deserves this award. No one dares to say that the movie "Forrest Gump" is not qualified enough. This movie also established Chen Kangjie's title as a "genius director".

"Best Photography" was shared by Carpenter and Burgess, and "Best Clothing Design" was won by Joanna Johnston. The most influential thing is that the plaid blue shirt that Forrest Gump wore no matter where he went. This seemed to have become Forrest Gump's signature, which people can't forget. "Best Drama Original Soundtrack" also won the award for using dozens of music in "Forrest Gump", especially Chen Kangjie also "created" "I'mForrest Forrest Gump". The "Best Visual Effect" award "Forrest Gump" defeated "Baby Pig". Ken Rollston came on stage to receive the award. The post-production visual effects of this movie was led by him.

Among the nominations received, "Forrest Gump" only lost to "Extreme Suspect" in the "Best Original Script". This may be because the script written by Chen Kangjie was adapted from the novel. Even if there are many changes compared to the novel, the judges may think that this is not too original.

Even if he loses one, Forrest Gump still stands out for the most famous people with 7 awards. This not only brings personal honors and achievements to Chen Kangjie and other cast members, but also brings great development and reputation to Miramax. The first point is that these award-winning people, whether they belong to Miramax or not before, after winning the award, Jon Gordon will keep them. A company will only flourish with sufficient outstanding talents. Second, more and more filmmakers who are approaching will take the initiative to join Miramax because the income here is quite good, especially the cast members who work with Chen Kangjie to make movies, they can all get good returns from the box office. Third, Miramax has abundant funds and can support many young directors and actors to create movies. Before the acquisition, the company made up to 4 movies a year, but now, if the script is appropriate, 8 movies can be shot.
