Chapter 84: The 44th Grammy (Middle)
After Madonna left, Chi Mingzhe sat down with everyone, she came to Chi Mingzhe to buy the cover copyright of a song, this song is the OST theme song "4minutes" when filming "Ghost Shadow", Chi Mingzhe doesn't care, and finally generously sold the copyright of the whole song to Madonna, the price is not low, and the other party is also very generous. In Chi Mingzhe's view, the most important thing is to get the friendship of this "first sister" in the American music scene, and it is obvious that both parties have gained.
The personnel entered one after another, and the guests were already seated, Ji Mingzhe glanced at Avril who was sitting next to Kelly, and was a little worried about whether she could win the best newcomer award tonight, not that she couldn't do it, but that Alicia Keys was too strong. The album sales are a lot more than Avril's, Avril's album has won three platinum earnest, the other party is six, and will eventually reach a diamond certification, but it is still unknown whether it is a qiē.
"Avril Lavigne!"
Ji Mingzhe's inexplicable encouragement made others scratch their heads, and Beyoncé and Kelly only smiled when he suddenly became nervous. Park Jin-young also encouraged her, Avril was very moved, and nodded to Chi Mingzhe to thank her.
"What happened just now?" asked Ji Ming-cheol with Park Jin-young tilting his head slightly.
"The Best Newcomer Award is a bit difficult for Avril. ”
"Just so don't have confidence in your own tune?" Park Jin-young's words reminded Ji Mingzhe, yes! This is not good for him to be discouraged first before the results are announced, but his brother is a "god"! )
The ceremony began! the lights dimmed and the prelude to a song began.
"Ikeeponfalling I've been sinking"
"InandoutofloveWithyou"
"Sometimes Iloveyou"
"Sometimes umakemeblue sometimes you make me worried"......
Alicia Keys walked backstage with a purple dress mopping the floor, curly brown hair draped over her shoulders, and a great voice, which was the title hit of her album "Falling", which topped the US hot100 chart for nine weeks. No. 2 on the annual list, the first place is "Low" by Chi Mingzhe.
Ji Mingzhe looked at the confident appearance of the woman on the stage, secretly hated why he didn't shovel her over in advance, as if he thought of something, and then wiped a smile on the corner of his mouth. After Alicia went down, the host Joe Stewart came to the stage, this guy is a TV presenter, the mouth is quite sharp, humorous but not annoying, and soon the stage home screen began to scroll the songs and photos that won the Best Newcomer Award nominee, and every person put on, there would be applause at the bottom, when Avril Lavigne's "BeWithoutYou" The MV appeared on the screen, Ji Mingzhe and Park Jin-young and others around him applauded, Avril clenched her fists nervously, she really hoped to get this award, and it would be even more impossible if she didn't get it this year.
"Now, I think the pink newcomers must be in a hurry! Look! It will be revealed soon!" After playing the nominee's MV, Joe Stewart arrived very simply, without buying anything, and raised the envelope in his hand to announce the results.
Winner of the 44th Grammy Award for Best New Artist...... Yes...... "host" was "yes" for a long time, and the crowd below suddenly had some commotion.
"Fuck you, Guanzi sells here?" Chi Mingzhe muttered.
"Miss Avril Lavigne...... We welcome ......"
"Ah......h
Avril jumped up and screamed loudly, the guests laughed and applauded, Ji Mingzhe stood up and hugged her, Avril kissed him twice on the face excitedly, Park Zhenying and Beyoncé They all stood up and hugged Avril to congratulate her, KBS and SBS TV cameras were aimed at their group of people, SBS deliberately filmed at their boss for a while, Ji Mingzhe and Park Zhenying bowed to the camera again, Beyoncé and Kylie and Avril also learned to bow to the camera, and there were a lot of Korean voices behind the scene, which came from the Korean media and the voices of Korean fans, in the eyes of these people, Avril is an artist in Chi Mingzhe's company, so that these Koreans are also proud.
"Hey, I said Miss Avril Lavigne, come on, do you have to wait for the camera to give you a gift and then come and get your prize." Joe Stewart said to the audience with the microphone in his hands.
The guests at the scene also laughed and puffed up again. Avril then walked to the center of the stage with her skirt, the guest of honor was the singer Bonnie Ritter, who won 9 Grammy Awards, handed the record player to Avril's hand, the petite girl burst into tears, hugged Bonnie Ritter, and was about to turn around and leave the stage, Joe Stewart hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"Hey, I know you're excited right now, and if you don't owe me a hug, you'll have to say a couple of words to the people down there. ”
The guests laughed, and Avril was so excited that she forgot to say her acceptance speech. She hurriedly picked up the microphone and apologized to the crowd in the audience, which was bound to be in the news tomorrow.
"I......'m sorry! I'm sorry! I'm going to ...... Wait a minute......" Avril Lavigne stepped forward and hugged Joe Stewart.
"I don't owe you anything!" Avril said, holding up the microphone.
"Hahaha......" The audience laughed again.
"I want to thank my parents, they are far away in Canada, I haven't been to see them for a long time, I miss you guys so much. Avril covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face.
"I would also like to thank my boss...... William, thank you, I love you!" Avril paused and continued.
"and ......"
This newcomer award, especially the Grammy Newcomer Award, is the dream award of many newcomer singers, if the debuting newcomer can be nominated for the Grammy Newcomer Award, this is already a great affirmation and honor, let alone winning the award, but when you miss it, this award will be with you in the future, and you are no longer a newcomer. So Alicia Keys was very disappointed, she seemed to think that this award should belong to her, but it seemed to have been forcibly changed by something, although she clapped her hands, but her heart was very lost. Ji Mingzhe also subconsciously glanced in her direction, and saw that Alicia was smiling strongly, and his heart was full of apologies.
Then the ceremony continued, and Ji Mingzhe felt that tonight would be the harvest season for Skyrim Records, and Avril had a good start, and this feeling was always strong. The next best album of the year was won by the U2 choir for the album "WalkOn", and after they came down, it was guest performance time.
Five-time Grammys and legends will join nine-time Grammy winner Tony Bennett in singing "New York State Within," which earned the two of them nominations for this year's Grammys for Best Pop Chorus. The next awards are one after the other, period

The guests and fans at the scene fell into Ji Mingzhe's singing together, and Ji Mingzhe swayed freely on the stage, at this time, far away in front of the Korean TV, Lee Hyori and his sisters watched Ji Mingzhe perform on the TV together.
"Ernie! My brother-in-law is amazing, this is a Grammy! Many of our great Korean singers don't have this to perform on this stage! Ernie asked his brother-in-law to write us a song! It will definitely be very popular. Sung You-ri shook Lee Hyo-ri's arm.
"Your brother-in-law's song, the company can't afford to pay for it. ”
Lee Hyo-ri shook her head, she didn't say the real reason, fin.k.l is on the verge of disbanding, and the members are now in a hurry to announce that the contract will expire this year, including Lee Hyo-ri, who is not willing to renew the contract with the DSP. So the company is desperately giving them notices and squeezing the surplus value, and Ji Mingzhe feels sorry for her every time he sees Lee Hyo-ri. Hyo-ri stopped Ji Mingzhe's move to buy her contract many times, but the contract was about to expire anyway, and the support was over. Li Xiaoli will join Skyrim Entertainment once it is over, Ji Mingzhe asked her to bring Cheng Youli with her at that time, saying that it would be better for Cheng Youli to be an actor in the future, Xiaoli thought that he was jealous of beating his sister's attention, but he was severely punished by Ji Mingzhe and didn't get out of bed for a day.
"Oh!"
Cheng Youli obediently clinged to Lee Hyo-ri's body, and Hyo-ri touched her head and decided that he would find a time to tell her and join Skyrim Entertainment with him.
Ji Mingzhe, who finished performing on stage on TV, had already gasped off the stage.
