It was because Zhang Qiurui won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, bringing glory to the country and adding a rare honor to their Xiaoxiang Province.

On February 27th, the Grammy Awards ceremony was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, USA.
Zhang Guorong released an EP and an English album last year, which received a warm response and most of the songs were at the top of the US Billboard charts. As a result, he was nominated for Grammy Awards for Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Singer.
The Grammy Music Awards were founded in 1958 and include four major awards: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.
In addition, there are the best pop singers in music genres such as pop, rock, rhythm and blues (R&B), rap, country, gospel, jazz, Latin, and classical, which are equivalent to the best male singer, best female singer, king and queen in Hong Kong.
Being able to stand out among so many talented musicians and receive a nomination is a crucial step for Zhang Guorong to open up the international market.
After all, no one in Hong Kong or Asia has been nominated for a Grammy, let alone won an award.
Zhang Guorong's nomination for the Grammy Award caused an uproar in Hong Kong.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, not only shocking the entire music world, but also driving countless music fans crazy.
Zhang Guorong's name became the focus of heated discussion on the streets overnight. His music was played repeatedly, and each melody carried the pride and expectations of countless people.
Major media outlets rushed to report this historic moment, and radio and television stations took turns broadcasting his interviews and music works.
In the end, regardless of whether Zhang Guorong wins the Grammy Awards, his nomination has become an important milestone in the history of Chinese music.
Not only Zhang Guorong is famous, but also Starry Sea who wrote the lyrics and composed the music for Zhang Guorong.
Since Zhang Guorong debuted, all the songs he sang were written and composed by Xingchen Dahai. It can be said that Zhang Guorong was brought up by Xingchen Dahai.
If Starry Sea can produce the first international singer, it will surely produce the second. Many singers in Hong Kong have tried to find Starry Sea, but all have returned empty-handed. Starry Sea has become a mysterious existence.
On the night of the Grammy Awards, the Shrine Auditorium was brightly lit and star-studded, as music elites from all over the world gathered to witness this grand event in the music industry.
Zhang Guorong looked particularly handsome and confident in a custom-made black suit and exquisite tie.
He walked onto the red carpet with a little nervousness but full of anticipation, met with many fans and media, and waved to them with a smile.
During the award ceremony, as each award was announced, the atmosphere became increasingly heated.
When the host announced the Best Newcomer award, Zhang Guorong's heartbeat accelerated. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart.
Although he knew that the competition for this award was extremely fierce, he still held on to hope and looked forward to standing on that glorious stage.
Finally, when the host read out the name "Zhang Guorong", he could hardly believe his ears.
Amid the applause and cheers of the crowd, he slowly walked onto the stage, took the heavy trophy, his heart filled with gratitude and joy.
“Thank you for the Grammy recognition, and thank you for the support of my fans and family.
Finally, I would like to thank Xingchen Hai for writing the lyrics and composing the music for me.
Although we have never met, your music is like a bright star, lighting my way forward.
I will continue to work hard and live up to your trust. Thank you everyone."
In addition, Zhang Guorong's nominations for Song of the Year and Best Pop Singer have also attracted much attention.
Although he ultimately failed to win these two awards, he knew that his qualifications were too inexperienced. These nominations and awards were not only a recognition of him personally, but also an important display of Chinese music on the international stage.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zou, Teacher Hu, Teacher Luo, this way." Zhang Qiurui, Li Shaohong and others arrived at Tiger Airport earlier. They were waiting outside. When they saw Jiang Zhiqiang and his group of four coming out, she immediately waved to them.
"Let's take a taxi and go directly to the hotel where the film festival is held." Zou Wenhuai was in high spirits and looked radiant.
In the past, the films produced by Golden Harvest could only be sold to Southeast Asia at most, but this time the film co-produced with Zhang Qiurui was selected for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, which is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for Golden Harvest.
Open up opportunities in international markets.
This time they arrived in Berlin several days early.
Firstly, Jiang Zhiqiang wanted to purchase a film at the Berlin Film Festival for distribution in Hong Kong, and secondly, Zou Wenhuai also wanted to take this opportunity to explore the European film market in depth and open up more international cooperation possibilities for Golden Harvest.
So we hit it off and came early.
After arriving at the hotel where we were staying at the Berlin Film Festival and resting for a night.
On the second day, Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai started moving around, allowing Zhang Qiurui, Li Shaohong, Hu Feng, Luo Lan and others to move freely.
