It's a retro phonograph, with streamlined lines, elegant and quiet gold, with a realistic simulation effect, but the overall feel is not heavy, and even lighter than imagined - compared to the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, but the shine and texture shine under the bright light, as if you can see the flow of time rippling in the golden light.

Gently, the gramophone trophy just fell gently in the palm of your hand, and it didn't feel real at all. Completely unprepared, he fell directly into the trap of surprise.

Standing in front of the microphone, Lan Li was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to digest the shock caused by such an accident, "Official statement, I don't know anything about the contents of that envelope just now. ”

The subtext is to say, "I'm not rigging the results," and to explain it further, "Are you sure you're not announcing the wrong results?"

With an understatement, the audience at the scene burst into low chuckles.

Lan Li raised his head and looked at the dark audience in front of him. Different from the round table of the Golden Globe Awards, the Grammys are completely a concert scene, all the seating arrangements, lighting arrangements, and the atmosphere of the scene are all the same, and the craze and air waves that flock from all directions make all this seem more and more incredible.

"Thank you. I mean, thank you. Lan Li tried to organize his words, but then he found that he repeated the same words, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, and the corners of his mouth outlined a light smile, "I guess, there is no laughter now, which proves that my reaction is not too unusual." This time, laughter echoed throughout Staples Stadium.

Lan Li shook his head slightly, surprise and joy, surprise and excitement, stunned and excited, and slowly settled, "Tonight, I thought I was a bystander, but now it seems that I am a participant. Lan Li pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, "The album 'Don Quixote' has received too much love and support, far beyond expectations. It's my pleasure, God, the last time I bought a folk album, it was Bob Dylan. ”

This exclamation made the audience applaud and laugh, a pun: on the one hand, it is a ridicule of the accident of winning the award, and on the other hand, it is a ridicule of the decline of folk songs.

"George Slander, the producer of the Don Quixote album, once said: Music that is truly made with heart will always be listened to. I think tonight proved that he was right. "For Don Quixote, the sad thing is that no one in the world can understand his remembrance and dedication to chivalry, but for this album, fortunately, thousands of listeners have heard the music." ”

"So, hopefully this is a start. One day in the distant future, Bon-Iver, Radiohead, The Foster Family, Pretty Girl's Death Taxi, the Civil War Band, and the Blessed Sons will all be able to compete in their respective categories instead of piling up for an award for Best Alternative Album. ”

Lan Li's words were so simple, but so powerful, and finally, he smiled and said, "Because, we are not different. ”

After finishing speaking, Lan Li nodded, turned around, and left the stage under the leadership of the master of ceremonies.

It wasn't until Lan Li's footsteps were about to disappear on the stage that the audience reacted, and in an instant, a tsunami-like applause swept in. This acceptance speech is too shocking, but it is also too deafening.

When the nominees for the 54th Grammys were officially announced, the industry was exclaiming: the strong rise of indie folk, especially bands from unknown independent music companies, received a lot of recognition at this year's Grammys. Corresponding to the pop music represented by Adele and Bruno, the year 2011 that has just passed also ushered in a full-scale explosion of independent folk songs.

This is not only a resurgence of folk power, but also a resurgence of independent music. As Lan Li said: real music always has a real listener.

The Grammys have been slimming down for the past decade, and this year they cut nearly a third of their awards, one hundred and nine, and in the end only seventy-eight. This is undoubtedly the result of commercial considerations and broadcast considerations, and all the invoices that have suffered are independent and unpopular music.

For example, the folk, jazz, soul, and so on categories have all been cut to a large number of awards, leaving only one award for best album, and for example, special music categories such as rock, folk, and bluegrass have all been simply and crudely grouped into the award for best alternative album - the problem is that there is only one award in the alternative music department.

The so-called Best Alternative Album Award was originally set up to include all niche, unpopular, and independent music categories. Now it's even worse.

For niche musicians, they have almost disappeared even in terms of living space. In the past, they could at least win Grammy nominations, add to themselves, get more attention, advertise for free, or more or less, the nominations could drive sales and attention.

Lan Li's interview on the red carpet was not untargeted.

This year, the rise of the ballad and the slimming of the Grammys are in stark contrast. In the run-up to the awards, many independent music outlets were worried. Now, at the award ceremony, Lan Li directly expressed his opinion, using "Don Quixote" as a metaphor for real art lovers.

So, the audience applauded!

For Lan Li, there is more than joy, more surprise, more excitement, more surprise, more gratitude, more aftertaste. As an actor, every time he won the Emmys, Sundances, and Berlin Film Festival, he was moved and excited, and as a singer, the Grammy trophy awakened the bits and pieces on the road to the production of the album "Don Quixote".

The first thing that comes to mind is not that I have won the award, but that George Slander, Herbert Jones, Stanley Charleson, Neil Tucson, Heather Cross...... Even Ed Sheeran, their persistence and persistence have finally been echoed.

Their dreams, through Lan Li's hands, became a reality. This feeling is really too special, stirring in the chest, the feeling of overflowing to the point of stuffiness and pain, words cannot describe it.

Leaving the stage, leaving the backstage, and returning to your seat again, it was fifteen minutes later.

Anne and Alex looked at Lan Li back and forth, looking for the "lost" trophy, and the two of them even lifted the back hem of Lan Li's suit, which really made Lan Li cry and laugh, "Put it in the background." Lan Li had to explain.

Andy, Roy, and Nathan were even more surprised than Lan Li, and their dislocated jaws were estimated to be unable to fit back for a while.

The ceremony continued, with awards in the Rhythm & Blues category, very similar to the Country category.

Cee-Lo-Green took home Best Traditional Rhythm & Blues Singer and Best Rhythm & Blues Song, British talent Corine-Bailey-Rae won Best Rhythm & Blues Performance, and Best Rhythm Album went to Chris-Brons.

On the eve of the Grammys last year, Chris Brown had an argument with his girlfriend Rihanna, Chris fisted and kicked, serious domestic violence, which directly caused Rihanna to almost break her appearance, and was later sentenced to five years of probation plus six months of community labor. This bad boy of Vanity Fair has always been the target of public criticism.

A year later, Chris received the first gramophone of his music career with his fourth album.

Shiloh Green was undoubtedly the biggest winner in the Rhythm & Blues category.

On the other hand, the rap category echoes the rock category, and Kanye West, who is far ahead with seven nominations in the nomination stage, continued his strong streak and swept thousands of teams, winning all four rap awards.

Best Rap Performance Award, Kanye's collaboration with rap king Jay-Z won the award, Best Rap Collaboration Award, Kanye's collaboration with Rihanna and Fergie (Fergie) won the award, and Kanye also had the last laugh in the Best Rap Song and Best Rap Album awards.

Obviously, the biggest winner in the nomination stage, Kanye is still in the spotlight above the awards ceremony.

In the dance music category, newcomer Skrillex won the award as a dark horse, beating out strong opponents such as Miss Gaga, David Guetta (David-Guetta), and won two awards for best dance production, best electronic dance music album, and one award for best non-classical mixed record.

As a result, Schillek acquired three gramophones.

From Blue Rite to Schillerk, the Grammys are rewarding newcomers and are showing their boldness and hard work. Perhaps, the future that Lanli looked forward to in his acceptance speech is coming little by little.

Finally, it came the hottest and most fierce pop awards: Adele and Bruno are two hits in this category, and among the four awards, two people will face off in the two categories of Best Pop Album and Best Pop Artist, which is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of tonight's awards ceremony.

The first award for Best Pop Group was sung by veteran jazz singer Tony Bennett and the late British female singer Amy Winehouse, while the award for Best Traditional Pop Album was also won by Tony Bennett's album released last year.

And then—

Best Pop Singer Award, Adele defeated Miss Gaga, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, and Pink Lady (Pink) to fight her way out and win her second trophy tonight. Prior to this, Adele had already won the award for Best Music Video for a Short Film.

Best Pop Album Award, Adele, Shilo Green, Rihanna, Miss Gaga, Bruno Mars, the five nominees bayonet duel, Adele once again had the last laugh, and while winning the third gramophone, she also became the biggest contender for the four major comprehensive awards tonight.

Adele and Bruno, who also received six nominations, went head-to-head, and Bruno was defeated.

It's not that Bruno isn't good enough, it's that this year's Adele is really too strong, and she almost debuted in a devastating posture. So, what about the final four comprehensive awards?
