"The winner of the Newcomer of the Year is: Ranley Hall. ”
John Legend's voice was heard through the microphone, sending ripples through Staples Field. It's not Nicki Minaj, who was so powerful and popular before, or Schillerk, who came out tonight and has infinite scenery, but Lanley Hall!
The biggest dark horse in the nomination stage, the biggest dark horse on the night of the ceremony!
Unpopular, tonight broke out the first real unpopular! Beyond everyone's expectations!
Among the five nominees for Newcomer of the Year, the Grammys chose the youngest, least qualified, and least experienced Lan Li, while the Grammys also chose ballads that have faded into obscurity in recent years, and are struggling with extinction.
In fact, this should not be an accident, everything is traceable. The Grammys continued the overall pattern of the previous nomination stage, continued the consistent momentum of rewarding young newcomers tonight, continued the firm determination to reward artistic creation tonight, and continued the market policy of rewarding the revival of folk songs-
From Bon-Iver, to the Civil War group, to the Blessed Sons and the Foster Family Band, and finally to Ranley Hall, the full rise of independent ballads has become one of the important themes of the Grammys this year. If it weren't for the fact that the topic of "Adele VS Bruno Mars" was too hot, I am afraid that the biggest attraction of tonight would change hands.
Now, among the New Artist of the Year awards, among the country, electronic, hip-hop and folk, the Grammys chose the folk songs, and among the thirty-one-year-old Bon-iver and the twenty-two-year-old Blue Rites, the Grammys chose the Blue Rites.
Young, energetic music creators, reminiscing about retro, back-to-music indie ballads, this has become the most important theme of the 54th Grammys.
From the opening nineties superstar theme, Bruce Springsteen, James Todd Smith, Whitney Houston, to the closing contemporary rising star theme, Adele, Schiller, Ranley Hall, the Grammys form a perfect circle.
The Grammys, which have been controversial in recent years, have finally shown the courage and courage to reform and innovate and make bold moves.
So, this is an unpopular, but it is not an unpopular.
The stunned, stunned, surprised, shocked, flustered, and confused for a moment gradually dissipated, joy and exclamation surged, and the guests and audience, while clapping their hands politely, curiously looking for Lan Li's figure-
This 22-year-old leader of Generation Y, with his excellent acting skills, has become the most popular actor in Hollywood in the past two years.
The time, the place, the people.
Everyone says that the times create heroes, and at the right time and in the right way, they make their debut and stand on the stage of history; but if we carefully review the ins and outs of history, we can find that if we have the intention to plant flowers but not to bloom, and we have no intention to plant willows and willows in the shade, everything is a coincidence and luck; of course, there is also strength. "Don Quixote" inadvertently made history.
"Ahhh
Alex jumped up directly, raised his hands high, and kept jumping in place like a kangaroo, "Lan Li, it's you, it's you!" He even turned his head and looked at Robin on the other side, shouting with excitement on his face, "It's him! Lan Li has won the award! It's Lan Li!"
Lan Li did not hide his surprise. More than joy, it is mainly an accident. Not modest, nor polite, Lan Li really felt the surprise.
If the first award, the Best Alternative Album Award, in a way, "Don Quixote" is indeed "alternative" enough, after winning the award, there is certainly surprise, but the joy and joy are also surging. But now, the new man of the year? It's far beyond imagination. Not even a fleeting thought.
Lan Li hugged the two little guys beside him, and then stood up and stepped onto the stage under the gaze of the audience.
Compared with the first time he won the award just now, this time Lan Li could clearly feel the burning gaze, full of anticipation, excitement, surprise and excitement, all intertwined, hot and turbulent falling on his skin, the unreality became more and more obvious, but the footsteps that fell on the carpet became more and more clear.
Walking onto the stage, Lan Li politely smiled and nodded to John.
John walked up with the gramophone trophy, hugged Lan Li gentlemanly and restrainedly, and patted Lan Li lightly on the shoulder, "Man, this is an unbelievable album! I'm serious, unbelievable!" Between the short hugs, John clearly expressed his shock and admiration, and then handed the gramophone trophy to Lan Li with a smile, took two steps back, took the initiative to raise his hands, and applauded.
The applause of the audience was surging.
Lan Li's footsteps stopped in front of the microphone, listening to the thunderous applause of the audience, and the look of surprise and stunned always lingered between his eyebrows. There are too many names in my mind, mixed feelings, and the intricate emotions cannot be described in words, not even joy, but more moving.
"Three years ago, a friend named Stanley Charleson told me: Hey, little guy, you're a natural singer and you deserve to be on stage and show your charm. Holding the gramophone trophy tightly in his hand with both hands, he didn't know if it was his illusion, Lan Li only felt that the weight of the trophy seemed to be heavier than just now, and it was heavily pressed in his palm. "My answer was, no, I'm an actor. No one wants to listen to my music, unless it's karaoke. ”
The teasing and playful tone caused a light laugh at the scene.
"And then there's an old guy called George Strand and he says, you've got talent, we can make an album if you want, and then there's a little guy called Heather Cross, and she said, Lan Li, you're a good actor, but you can also be a good singer because you're going to be a good artist. ”
The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, and in the audience, Alex and Annie, the two little guys, quieted down, raised their heads, and quietly looked at Lan Li in the halo.
Although Lan Li was smiling at this time, Anne felt the sadness on Lan Li's body, which made Anne's eyes reddened slightly. Then, Anne felt someone take her left hand, and when she looked up, Anne saw Alex wiping away her tears, and he smiled and nodded encouragingly. Anne's left hand clenched.
"Phew, please forgive me, except for this moment, I guess I will never find an occasion for me to brag about myself. Lan Li chuckled, and the self-deprecating tone made the audience laugh, and some people even whistled good-naturedly and shouted, "This is your moment!
Lan Li couldn't help but smile, lowered his eyes, and looked at the heavy gramophone trophy in his hand, "So, 'Don Quixote' was born." Not because of me, but because of Stanley Charleson, because of George Slander, because of Heather Cross, and of course Neil Tucson and Herbert Jones. Because of this group of real Don Quixote, they have always insisted on their dreams, and they are also insisting on music, and they have created this album. ”
In front of the TV, Neil raised his hands and shouted, "Whoa, that's me! I'm Neil Tucson!"
Stanley, who was sitting next to him, quietly, quietly looked at the small screen, picked up the whiskey in his hand, took a sip, and happiness was probably like that, while George lowered his head in embarrassment and pretended to start rolling a cigarette, but his trembling fingertips and blurred vision revealed the true emotions in his heart.
"Standing in front of the 'Don Quixote' album, standing in front of this gramophone trophy, I feel so small, insignificant. Lan Li said in a deep voice, the heartfelt shout, for the first time, broke free from the shackles, and opened his mouth to shout.
The power of dreams really made him small.
Once upon a time, he believed that he was an actor and that music was always a hobby, but tonight, the victory of the "Don Quixote" album was like a punch to his stomach, and he felt his humility in front of George, in front of Stanley, in front of Heather, in front of dreams, in front of Don Quixote.
For the first time, Lan Li felt the meaning of what Heather and George were saying.
"Don Quixote", this album embodies the bumps in the road of chasing his dream of being an actor, but it also makes his core and soul as a singer, he is an actor and a singer, he is not an actor nor a singer, but an artist.
All art is interconnected.
"Hats off to George Sland and hats off to Heather Cross. Lan Li's voice paused slightly, he knew that at this time, in front of the TV, they were all watching the live broadcast, but there was one person who would never be seen.
In an instant, the surging emotions dragged the words and began to sink continuously, Lan Li had to tighten his fingers, felt the edges and corners of the gramophone in his palm, calmed down again, and continued, "Thank you to everyone who is Don Quixote, and thank you to everyone who is still insisting on dreaming and chasing dreams." This is a trophy for you, thank you!"
After speaking, Lan Li stopped in place. There was something I wanted to say, but I couldn't say it, and the surging emotions hit my chest, and I felt a faint pain. However, after all, he calmed down, turned around, and left the stage.
The applause at the scene rang out again. A meaningful acceptance speech once again let people see the soul of the album "Don Quixote", and once again proved that Lan Li is definitely not a singer who plays tickets. How many people really understand the album "Don Quixote", or are they just joining in the fun?
