Chapter 559 - You Really Can't Be Too Confident in Being a Man!
Grammy Awards.
Chen Minhao, wearing a black casual top and dark blue jeans, sat in the third row and applauded.
Compared to the other guests, he seemed a little out of place.
Looking at the entire award ceremony, the white guests accounted for the majority, and there were a few black guests, but yellow people like Chen Minhao were the least, which can be described as rare.
Another reason for being out of place is that Chen Minhao's dress is really too casual. It is in stark contrast to the other people's dresses, which are either grand or peculiar.
But in fact, this is an easter egg planted by Chen Minhao for "Love Before Dawn".
Today's dress is the dress of the male protagonist Li Changgeng in the movie.
Chen Minhao plans to use this as a singularity, and after the movie is released, he can rub a wave of Grammy popularity to promote the movie.
The Grammys' process is no different than in previous years.
The host warmed up, the special guests performed, and the award presenters presented the awards in a way that whetted the audience's appetite.
The most important awards at the Grammys are in four categories: Album of the Year, Production of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist.
But in addition to these four general awards, there are also subdivisions in the direction of pop, rock, R&B, rap, country, gospel, jazz, Latin, classical and other music directions.
Take pop music as an example, awards such as Best Pop Singer, Best Pop Band/Group, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Instrumental Performance, Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, etc.
There are so many awards.
Chen Minhao, who was sitting in the audience, seemed to be an emotionless applauding machine.
Soon, it was time for the first heavyweight award, Album of the Year, to be revealed.
Rachel, who was sitting next to Chen Minhao, looked a little nervous. This is the second time she has been shortlisted for the Album of the Year Award, and compared to the joy of "being shortlisted for sure" last time, she is a little nervous because she is looking forward to it this time.
Rachel's album has been polished for three years, and in Chen Minhao's opinion, both sales and quality are better than other shortlisted albums.
Unless an accident happens and the award is upset, Rachel is sure to win the award.
In this world, how can there be so many accidents!
The presenter on the podium shouted Rachel's name.
After hearing her name, Rachel's eyes could not hide the surprise, and she immediately got up and walked quickly to the podium.
Rachel gave her speech with tears in her eyes. And Chen Minhao applauded enthusiastically in the audience.
After Rachel stepped down, she gave Chen Minhao a warm hug.
And Chen Minhao also whispered: "Congratulations." ”
Rachel also whispered back, "I hope you can win the prize later." ”
Since the awards on the stage were still continuing, it was not appropriate for the two to chat for too long, so Chen Minhao nodded and sat down.
But Chen Minhao knows in his heart that the probability of winning the prize is almost none, unless pie falls from the sky.
This year's Grammy "Song of the Year" award was dubbed a soul music battle by the media.
Soul music is a musical genre that combines rhythm and blues and gospel music, and is characterized by tight rhythm and clapping.
The reason why it is called the Soul Fight is because this year's singers Van Brown and Morrison James, who are shortlisted for Song of the Year, are both representatives of soul music.
When Van Brown was not famous, he confessed on a show that Morrison James was his idol. But in terms of sales, Van Brown's single sold more than Morrison James.
Song of the Year was originally a Grammy heavyweight award, but this year it added the story of "competing with idols", which made Song of the Year the most anticipated award of the year.
When the award ceremony came to the award "Song of the Year", the presenters all looked at Van Brown and Morrison James.
Chen Minhao looked at Van Brown and thought he had a better chance of winning the award.
Both of them have heard their songs, and the two songs are of the same genre, but Van Brown's songs have made a slight innovation in the style of soul music, and this innovation is just right.
Stevens, the presenter on the stage, looked up at the audience and said in a calm voice: "The winner of this year's best song of the year is ......"
He dragged his voice, first at Van Brown.
Van Brown's breath became short.
Then Stevens looked at Morrison James again.
Morrison James felt his blood pressure rise and his heart raced.
After a pause of a few seconds, Stevens raised his voice and said in an impassioned voice, "It's Chen's 'I'm yours." Let us give a warm applause to this young man from China. ”
As soon as Stevens' words fell, the Grammys burst into thunderous applause.
The audience present looked sideways at Chen Minhao and offered their warmest applause.
All the guests present looked at Chen Minhao, Morrison James and Van Brown with great interest.
The award Song of the Year is an upset!
In Chen Minhao's previous life, there was a great writer who once said two sentences: "There is never a shortage of people in China to watch the excitement!" and "Chinese people love to watch the excitement, and when they watch the excitement, they all stretch their necks like ducks to watch." ”
But in fact, in any corner of the world, there will be no shortage of people to watch the excitement. And everyone's posture is the same when they look at the excitement!
Hearing his name, Chen Minhao was stunned.
Rachel gently nudged Chen Minhao with her elbow before he "woke up".
Holy, pie in the sky!
Although his heart was surging, he immediately managed his expressions and tried to show a calm smile on his face.
Chen Minhao walked to the podium, slowly adjusting his breathing as he walked.
After calming down a little, he discovered a fatal problem.
Because he was too confident that he couldn't win the award, he didn't prepare his acceptance speech at all.
You really can't be too confident!
Chen Minhao's seat was not far from the podium, and before he could figure out a reason in his heart, he had already walked to the podium.
Stevens handed the trophy to Chen Minhao with both hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Chen." ”
Chen Minhao solemnly accepted the trophy with both hands, then held the trophy with his left hand and shook Stevens' hand with his right hand.
"Thank you. ”
Stevens laughed and said, "You shouldn't thank me. You owe thanks to the Grammy judges. ”
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, and there was another round of warm applause on the stage.
Stevens handed the microphone to Mr. Chen, signaling that he was ready to deliver his acceptance speech.
"First of all, I would like to thank Jessica Lee, the director of the film, who wrote and directed 'Love Before Dawn' for the inspiration for the song 'I'm yours'. ”
First of all, I have to promote the movie.
"Secondly, I would like to thank my agent, Kang Hui, and everyone who has worked with me. ”
After all, you carried so many black pots for me.
"Finally, I would like to thank my friends who have always supported me. ”
I hope you will accompany me until the day I become a global superstar!
