Chapter 322: Nomination
"Tonight's third place finisher was ...... Black Hole Band!"
The final result was announced, which surprised everyone, everyone thought that the first in this game should be a black hole, but they didn't expect to take the third.
But it's not bad to be able to guarantee a promotion.
As Cao Wu expected, the number of votes for Peng Pai in this game was not high, and the two games were added together, and the number of votes was at the bottom, and he was eliminated.
In the next issue, there will be new fill-in singers.
However, before the recording of the next episode, the Black Hole band all took a flight to New York.
They were nominated for this year's Grammy Awards.
Since August last year, the Black Hole Band has landed in the American music industry and left a deep impression on American fans through a series of combos.
"Rock?or Bust" is still on the Billboard and iTunes charts, but it doesn't rank as high as it was a year ago.
Mainly because pop diva Taylor released a new album in January, and as soon as it was launched, it directly landed at the top of all the charts, and no one was beatable.
Of course, there are also reasons why the Black Hole Band returned to China to record the program and neglected to promote it in the United States.
They only have one nomination this time, which is Best Newcomer, although there is only one, but for an exotic band that has just entered the American music scene, this is also the biggest recognition that can be obtained.
"Best New Artist", along with "Production of the Year", "Song of the Year", and "Album of the Year", are regarded as the four most important "general" awards at the Grammy Awards, and they have a high gold content.
The awards ceremony took place on February 15 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Black holes are more familiar there, and they've been there to perform, the one the Rockets have played against the Lakers.
There, they once again proved their "magic" and the Rockets won that game by one point.
Cao Wu They arrived on the 14th, and Los Angeles was already overcrowded that day.
The Grammys are an annual music festival that attracts all the best music and recording professionals from all over the world.
On this day, in addition to the musicians who attended the awards ceremony, there were also media reporters and thousands of fans from all over the United States.
Yasuo Sato was in charge of receiving them and chatted about the next phase of the publicity plan.
Niu Li went to Malaysia, beyond's tour was about to start in Kuala Lumpur, and the matter on the Colombian side was over, so she directly led the team to negotiate a contract with her partner.
Yasuo Sato told them that it was unlikely that he would win the award this time, mainly because the foundation of the black hole was still too shallow.
Although "Rock or Bust" won the Billboard title thanks to the efforts of both sides, it only lasted three weeks.
Two of the newcomers he competed with were first-week winners, lasted more than five weeks, and were released in multiple countries.
Black Hole has suffered a loss in distribution and publicity, and this time it is likely to run away.
Cao Wu and the others have long been mentally prepared, they didn't expect to win the award this time, just to participate in the performance.
The Grammys are the world's largest music festival, attracting hundreds of millions of viewers around the world every year since its inception.
Every awards ceremony is a huge show, and all the nominated musicians will perform accordingly, which is also a huge publicity opportunity.
That night, the domestic media also came to the award ceremony, and dozens of media crowded on both sides of the red carpet, even larger than the local media.
No way, who let Black Hole be the first Chinese musicians to be selected for the Grammys?
Because they knew that the possibility of winning the award was relatively slim, Cao Wu and they did not let the company do the corresponding publicity.
But as a world music award, there will always be people who are paying attention to it and studying it.
When the list of nominees was announced, many domestic media discovered that there was actually a Chinese band among them.
In fact, when the Black Hole band had just made their mark in the U.S. market, the domestic media speculated whether they would be selected for this year's Grammys, but they were generally not optimistic.
Because they were in the middle of a breach of contract, many people thought they were probably going to be cold.
However, Niu Li rescued them, and together with Sony, they got a lot of benefits, which surprised many domestic media people.
And this time they were selected for the Grammys, which made them even more unexpected.
As a result, many media outlets have approved funding to increase the number of reporters working with Grammy News this year.
The four members of the Black Hole Band rarely appeared on the red carpet in formal clothes, and suddenly a flash of light flashed, and the formation was no less than the king and queen who walked in front.
Lele was wearing a cute tulle fairy dress and a straw hat, while Cao Wu and the others were wearing slim-fitting tuxedos and froze into stupid dogs in the cold winter.
No way, the ceremony has certain requirements for dress, others wear less than them, and the sexy diva Monagi only uses a few pieces of cloth to cover the key parts, and she still blooms with ** charm in the cold wind.
The few female singers who walked over before were also very similar, and they were all dressed coolly.
Cao Wu and the others were not so frost-resistant, so they forced themselves to pose a few times, and hurriedly entered the scene.
There is air conditioning in the venue, and the temperature is much warmer.
They were seated in the second row, with the famous singer Laurie and rapper Amo in front of them.
Laurie is five years older than Cao Wu, but she appears much more mature because of her chubby body type. She is a big girl, with a big heart and a big voice, and she has nothing to say about her singing skills.
She is one of Lele's idols, so Lele found out that it was her in front of her, so she excitedly stepped forward to talk.
Cao Wu leaned on Amo.
He is a well-known veteran in the rap circle, playing black music as a white man, and he has also gained black recognition.
He is also a well-known temper tantrum in the circle, arresting whoever scolds him, as long as he is unhappy, the king of heaven will also scold him back.
Cao Wuzhu liked him, but still didn't provoke him.
However, he took the initiative to turn around and say hello to them, and praised their MV for being very good-looking.
Cao Wu was a little puzzled, not knowing why he had changed his temper.
Later, after thinking about it, I realized that he must have been because of "Boulevard?of Broken Dreams".
The music video for this song was filmed in Detroit, and Amo is also a rapper who came out of Detroit.
It turned out to look at this level.
After waiting for more than an hour, the ceremony finally began.
Pop diva Taylor was the first to appear and do the opening performance for the ceremony.
Dressed in a black starlight jumpsuit, she sparkled in the lights and quickly heated up the scene with "Out of the Woods" from her new album.
The first award was the Best Rap Album of the Year award, and Amo has no new works this year, and he is here to be the guest of honor.
The award was received by Duckworth, a native of Los Angeles and a regular at the Grammys.
He won Best Rapper last year, and Best Album this year, which is also expected.
