Looking at the surging fans, even though Lin Feng had the titles of "Lin Dali" and "Lin Daring" when he was a child, his face changed at this time and became a little pale. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Adams was still standing calmly outside the car to help Lin Feng check the scene, but now when he saw such a situation, he was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the car door and sat in, shouting at the driver in front of him: "Lock it quickly!"

In fact, without the identity of Adams, the driver was ready to lock the door at this time.

After the locking sound sounded, everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a few seconds, the first group of fans rushed to the Rolls-Royce, all banging on the windows with excited faces, and trying to see the true face of Long Lushan in the car. It's a pity that the special material used for the window glass makes it impossible for people on the outside to see the inside, but for people inside to see the outside.

When the second batch of fans rushed in, the entire lengthened Rolls-Royce was surrounded by water.

"It's crazy, it's crazy!" said Adams, aloud with a pale face.

Lin Feng, who was sitting in the car, was really worried that these overly enthusiastic fans would overturn the Rolls-Royce, but fortunately, these fans just kept banging on the windows, but there were no other rough actions.

"What the hell are the police and security guards doing?" Adams yelled in displeasure as he pulled out his phone to call the police station.

"I'm here in the Staples Center, there's a very serious riot here, and you have to send more people to keep order on the scene......

Adams called the police here, and the security personnel at the scene outside were all busy and sweating, and a few security personnel had a physical altercation with the fans at the scene during the refusal.

After the chaos lasted for five or six minutes, a large number of riot police finally arrived at the scene, drove away the scattered surging crowd, and quickly approached the Rolls-Royce where Lin Feng and the others were riding. They had received a death order from their superiors and would not allow Long to be harmed in this riot, otherwise the impact would be very bad. The scene was broadcast live by hundreds of TV stations from all over the world.

As for the harassment at the Grammy host site, which has not appeared in dozens of Grammy Awards ceremonies in the past, it is undoubtedly big news that the media in various countries at the scene are addicted.

But apparently the police in Chicago acted quickly, and the fans at the scene were still more sensible, so no violence broke out. The arrival of the riot police easily dispersed the chaotic crowd at the scene, and except for a very small number of diehards who took the opportunity to make trouble, they were carried away by the police, and there was no bloodshed in the rest, which inevitably disappointed the media reporters.

The Rolls-Royce at the center of the riot was finally fine, and after seeing that the riot police had sent a team to protect the Rolls-Royce, everyone in the car was relieved.

After waiting a little longer, Adams saw that the riot had subsided, so he let the driver unlock the door, opened the door and thanked the police who had arrived to thank him, and asked for a smooth entry into the Staples Center under their escort. The person in charge, of course, agreed to Adams' request.

After Adams explained the situation to Lin Feng in the car, he got out of the car and entered the Staples Center venue together under the joint protection of several bodyguards and a team of riot police.

Along the way, everyone saw Lin Feng Zoro's dress, of course, they all had a shocked expression, at this time, because everyone knew that this "Mr. Zorro" was a long, they were naturally disappointed in shock, but they still gave this Zorro a long dress, a tsunami-like cheer, applause, whistles, and shouts.

All the way to the venue of the Grammy party, under the leadership of the relevant staff, came to the backstage to make the necessary preparations, and arranged a single rest room, according to Adams, this is only the most popular singer can enjoy the treatment, generally the backstage rest room is at least two people for use, only superstars like Madonna and Michael Jackson can enjoy a single room.

For this small treatment, Lin Feng didn't feel that it was worth being happy about.

Adams told Lin Feng some things that should be paid attention to, and then let Lin Feng stay in the lounge first, and he took the outside to find out the news.

The party is scheduled to be held at five o'clock in the evening, but the singers and performers usually arrive at five o'clock, and the bigger stars like to arrive late, and the formal performances and awards generally start at six o'clock.

But at five o'clock, some of the awards began to be announced. The first thing that came was that Sting won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Male Singer, and soon after the Best Pop Group Award was announced, the winner was Stilly Dan, a veteran band, and the next Best Pop Duet Award was won by BBKING, which is also a veteran singer, and it has to make people wonder if this year's Grammys take special care of the elderly.

A few minutes later, the Best Female Pop Singer award was also announced, and the winner was Macy Gray. For this "strange-looking" black female singer, Lin Feng has memories of his previous life, and before the Grammys are revealed this year, I am afraid that not many fans in China will know Messi Gray. In fact, the momentum of this new Grammy singer in the European and American music scene has long overtaken Whitney Houston. This female singer, whose voice was often ridiculed by her friends when she was a child, finally won people's applause with her extraordinary strength and unique voice. She has a long horse face, her facial features occupy one of the positions on her face, and she also has a fluffy "marshmallow" on her head, and her appearance is not ordinary weird. But as long as you have heard her singing, you will be deeply attracted by her hoarse and mellow singing voice, at least her singing is very relaxed, and the truly self-sufficient urban female style makes people feel comfortable to listen to. In the field of R&B, a beautiful female voice is born every few years. And the appearance of Messi Gray suddenly raised those superficial R&B voices by a big cut. Macy Gray has a rough, wild, raw voice but full of great control, she can make you laugh along with her while listening, she feels very kind, she never gives you a tight hip-hop feeling, she is very casual, she sings whimsically, slides wherever she goes, but she doesn't make you hear the flaws.

In addition to not complimenting Lin Feng for her appearance, this black female singer also appreciates her songs, such as one of her masterpieces "ITRY" Lin Feng has heard it, and it feels good.

However, the outside world is still somewhat surprised by Messi Gray's award, because the nominations for this award also include Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina, these two are the two most popular young girls in the United States today, and the most popular for this award before was the sexy meat bomb Madonna.

Of course, these news were inquired by Adams, and at this time, at the invitation of the organizer, Lin Feng and Adams walked into the venue together. He was in a good position, close to the front row, and Adams sat next to him.

Many people around saw Lin Feng's Zorro outfit and looked sideways, but tonight Lin Feng was not the weirdest outfit, if you want to say the weirdest thing is the Blue Man Orchestra, they actually wrapped their entire face in blue, making it look like a Smurf. Needless to say, they dress up like this to attract the attention of the media and create a gimmick.

At about six o'clock, the host came to the stage, and the award ceremony officially began. It is worth mentioning that the Japanese musician Kitaro won the best annual New Century Album this time, and this person Lin Feng remembers very clearly, that is, after this Kitaro won the award, his pure music was very popular in China, because there was only one word behind "Kitaro", and this Kitaro was later familiar to the majority of Chinese music fans.

Interspersed with performances by many superstars, such as Britney, Madonna, and Superboy, the most exaggerated and creative is one of the representatives of American culture, the "pop godmother" Madonna, who actually drove her car to the stage to amaze the audience.

After the awards passed, it was finally the turn of the "Best Single of the Year" award.

The host first read out the list of nominees on stage: "Long 'All Stands', U2's 'Beautiful Days', Faith Hill's 'Breath', Leigh Ann Womac's 'I Want You to Dance', Macy Gray's 'Try', and 'Call My Name' by Destiny's Child". ”

As the MTV footage was displayed on the big screen, the audience burst into cheers.

After the host read out the list of nominations, he gaged for a while, which made the audience laugh, but unfortunately his speech was too fast, Lin Feng didn't understand the main content of his words, and he didn't understand his American humor, so he silently responded in the audience.

"Damn ××, don't you let people reveal the mystery?" Adams beside Lin Feng was really not in a hurry for the emperor and the eunuch was in a hurry, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to invite Mr. ×× to announce the winners of this 'Single of the Year' for us. Please!"

The award presenter came to the stage, and the guest didn't have much nonsense, he directly picked up the letter with the list of winners, opened it and read it: "The winner of the best single of the year is - U2, "Beautiful Day", let us congratulate them." ”

While the audience erupted in applause for U2, Adams couldn't help but burst into foul language: "****!FUCK!How can this song "Beautiful Days" be comparable to "all rise"? ”

Although Lin Feng didn't attach much importance to this award in his heart, he saw that he was nominated and ranked first, but in the end, he was in another place, of course, this mood was not pleasant, but it just didn't break out on the spot.

What the two of them didn't know was that when the fans watching the big screen outside the stadium saw that the winner of the "Best Single of the Year" was U2, more than half of them were just as scolding as Adams, and the scolding was ten times worse than Adams. It's also completely understandable, the popularity of U2 is really not comparable to that of long in the United States.

After this relatively popular award passed, several less important awards were awarded, and after that, it was the turn of the main event - the best newcomer of the year award.

At the beginning of this important award, the host routinely teased for three or four minutes before getting to the point, and read out the shortlist of the award: "long, Shelby Lynne, Jill Scott, Heath, Paparaci." ”

The host didn't waste any more time this time, and directly invited the award presenter, the famous Hollywood comedy star ××, the comedy star got the letter with the winner, but he didn't immediately open it and read it, but started his self-righteous talk show, Lin Feng didn't understand it very well, but the other people present, including Adams next to him, were teased by him and laughed.

Finally, when the comedian star opened the letter, he first made a very shocked and exaggerated expression before reading it out: "The winner of this year's Grammy Best New Talent is -long-"

As soon as the results were announced, more than half of the people at the scene jumped up excitedly, letting out deafening cheers and applause, which was like the Chinese football team entering the World Cup. And Adams, who was beside Lin Feng, jumped three feet high the moment he heard this result, and then hugged Lin Feng tightly with his hands and feet, slapped Lin Feng's back vigorously, and shouted excitedly: "Long! Congratulations! You are the best!"

At this time, the comedy star standing on the stage quickly changed his words nervously: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say sorry to you, I just read the wrong list! Please forgive me for this small mistake, although I myself also like that Long can win this award, but I am sorry, the real winner is Sprite Lin, let's ask her to come to the stage to accept the award." ”

The audience, including the fans who were celebrating outside the venue, were stunned by this sudden change, and the audience was silent for a while. This made the comedy star and the host on stage embarrassed, the former of course knew that his joke just now was a bit too big, and it also made the real winner Sprite Lin in the audience a little at a loss, not knowing whether he should go on stage to accept this award.

"Haha, ×× obviously hasn't woken up from the comedic role he's played. The host hurriedly came to the rescue, pretending to be serious and saying to the comedian, "××, you must know that this is a Grammy, not Hollywood." ”

If it had been changed, his words would have amused a large number of people, but now no one laughed, but glared at the comedy star with hidden anger.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me for this little joke. The comedy star showed his comedic talent, folding his fingers on his chest with his fingers crossed, looking sincerely repentant, "Especially Long and Sprite Lynn, I hope you can forgive me!"

was ridiculed by him like this, and many people at the scene forgave him quite generously, and let out a good-natured laugh.

Seeing this, the host hurriedly said: "Now, let's invite this year's Grammy's best newcomer Sprite Lynn to the stage to accept the award!

There was some sparse applause at the scene, which made the two people on the stage and Sprite Lynn feel very embarrassed, but in the end Sprite Lynn still came on stage.

"****!****!×× this damn stupid donkey, can you make this joke casually? He must have forgotten to wear braces this morning. Adams cursed in a low voice with some disregard for his image, "The judges of this Grammy must have been isolated from the world, don't they know your current reputation in the United States? Don't they know what music is? We will count the best single before, but the best newcomer is awarded to this Sprite Lynn, how can she compare with you? With so many guests on the scene, how many of them can compare with your current popularity?" These damn judges, damn Grammys, knew we weren't going to participate this time. These two awards should have belonged to you. ”

For the failure of these two awards, Lin Feng also felt unhappy in his heart, grandma's, isn't this a trick? The first nominee for the two awards was his long, but in the end they all failed.

There are still two nominations: Best R&B Male Vocalist and Best R&B Song, and the gold content of these two awards is obviously not comparable to the two awards (Best New Artist and Best Single).

The comedy star's prank just now obviously annoyed many people, and Lin Feng was also very upset with him in his heart. Most of the audience in the venue are relatively high-status people who can maintain superficial restraint, but those outside the venue do not have their gentlemanly demeanor, and immediately curse the poor comedian with the most vicious words, and they have said that they will never watch his movies and TV shows again, and call on everyone to boycott him. After scolding this comedy star who played countless fans and made them happy, almost everyone at the scene scolded the level of the Grammy judges. How could he not be the best newcomer as a newcomer to an American singer like Long who was the most popular American singer this year or at the end of last year? Even those die-hard Sprite Lynn fans are not too confident that their idol won this award from Long.

Even Sprite Lin herself is the same, but when she walked on stage to receive the Best Newcomer Award, her face was embarrassed and excited, and after hurriedly saying a few words of thanks, the guest turned out to be a "golden record player", and immediately stepped off the stage. And the applause of the audience, as before, was very few.

During this time, the Grammys' organizers' phones were all busy, and they were all protest calls from viewers in front of the TV to protest the comedy star's pranks, as well as protest and doubt the fairness of the Grammys. Before, the award for Best Single Long was unacceptable, but now even the Best Newcomer Award has been lost, which is unacceptable to the majority of LONG's fans.

Not to mention long's eponymous album "long", which has passed the time of this year's Grammy selection, just take his "All Rise" as an example, this song reached the top ten of the American pop music charts Billboard as soon as it came out, and it also produced eight weeks of champions, this song injected a new musical element into R&B, it can be said that it opened a new trend of music in R&B, such a newcomer in the music industry with musical talent and achievements, but he could not get the Grammy award for Best Newcomer, which is really difficult to convince the majority of fans.

"Long, you can choose to leave the protest now. Adams whispered to Lin Feng full of resentment, "I and our Jupiter Records will be on your side, and I believe that fans around the world will also support your decision." ”

The remaining two awards are really indifferent to Lin Feng or Jupiter Records. Adams was full of ambition and confidence that Long would definitely return with a full load, but he didn't expect that now the two most important awards have all failed, and he doesn't even have much confidence in the remaining two chicken rib awards. Think about it, Long's current fame, there is no need to participate in this Grammy, if he wins the award, it can certainly give him the icing on the cake, it will not have much effect, but if he came to the scene in person, he didn't win a single award, but some of the gains outweighed the losses, and it was not cost-effective. Adams now regrets a lot of things in his heart, and he regretted instigating Lin Feng to participate in this year's Grammys.

Lin Feng said in a good time: "Adams, if you come, you will be safe, and leaving the scene halfway is very impolite. Let's just sit and wait. I believe that I can still win at least one of the remaining two awards, and if I can't win any of them, it means that the Grammys are really rubbish. ”

Adams whispered, "The Grammys are rubbish, and many people have criticized it before. This year's Grammys are destined to be a garbage awards ceremony because they didn't choose you as the best newcomer. ”

Lin Feng smiled and didn't speak.

At this time, an elderly gentleman with silver hair sitting next to him suddenly leaned over to Lin Feng and asked with suspicion: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking this Mr. Zorro, I heard them say that you are the legendary long." ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, glanced at him, and Adams on the other side hurriedly stretched out his head to look at the old gentleman, and whispered to Lin Feng: "Long, this is Sir Walt, the president of Universal Music, he is a nobleman in the United Kingdom. ”

Lin Feng nodded subconsciously, and when Sir Walter saw him admitting it, he was very happy to get closer, and said in a low voice: "Long, I am very happy to be sitting next to you, you are a great singer, just now everyone felt sorry for you for not being selected as the best newcomer, and so did I." ”

Lin Feng had no choice but to say politely: "thanks!"

"Oh, excuse me, long, but allow me to introduce myself, my name is Walt, and I'm an Englishman, and you can call me old Walt. With that, Walter held out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Walter. Lin Feng shook his hand politely.

Probably seeing that Lin Feng's attitude was not very enthusiastic, Walter was also interested, and directly handed Lin Feng a business card of his own, and said: "This is my business card, you can contact me when you are free in the future, we can make friends." ”

Lin Feng took it and looked at it, it was a very ordinary business card, there was no title marked on it, just the name and contact information printed on it.

Lin Feng put away the business card, nodded to Old Walt, and continued to turn his attention to the guest performance on the stage.

After a hot cabaret performance, the host walked on the stage, changed his previous ridiculing nature, and said seriously: "The next award to be presented is the R&B Best Song Award, and the nominees for this award are: long's "all rise", Destiny's Child "say my name"...... Now, I would like to invite Mr. Walt, President of Universal Music Company, to present this award to us, and Sir Walt. ”

When Lin Feng and Adams heard that it was actually the Sir Walter beside them, they couldn't help but be stunned. It's a coincidence.

Old Walter turned his head sideways to Lin Feng and smiled mysteriously: "Long, my intuition tells me that this award belongs to you." ”

After saying that, old Walter got up from his seat and walked gracefully to the podium amid applause.

After Old Walter received the letter with the list of winners from the master of ceremonies, he opened it without any delay and read it out: "The winner of the 43rd Grammy Best R&B Song is-long, his "All Rise", deservedly won this award!"

But instead of bursting into cheers immediately, the scene seemed a little depressed, and it was obvious that everyone was worried about the previous prank again.

Old Walter had no choice but to continue to hold the microphone and pretend to be serious: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to state that I am not a comedian, I am a gentleman. ”

The audience couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, and suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers and shouts.

“Long！”

“long！”

……

Quite a few people began to chant Long's name neatly.

The host lost no time in shouting: "Let us warmly welcome Wang Long, a well-deserved newcomer in today's American music scene, to the stage to accept the award!"

This time, Adams was sure that it wasn't a prank, although this award couldn't be compared to the Newcomer Award and the Single Award, but it was better than nothing, Adams still hugged Lin Feng with excitement on his face.

Lin Feng's visit to the Grammys to wear the Zorro suit has long been announced to audiences around the world through the live broadcast of the TV media. Therefore, of course, the photographer who took the scene had been given Lin Feng's seat in advance, and had already taken special care of him several times and pulled the lens to him several times. This time, the camera was directly set to him.

Lin Feng was somewhat excited in his heart, this award is the first time that Chinese have won an award on the Grammys, and it can be regarded as of great significance, because many people in China regard this false name as very important and persistent, although Lin Feng does not take this American award very seriously, he is still somewhat proud in his heart.

He took a few deep breaths, then got up from his seat and walked towards the podium.

After receiving this "golden record player" from old Walt, the scene once again erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

"Long, what do you have to say to the audience in front of the TV now?" The host handed the microphone to Lin Feng, for the most popular singer in the United States today, he originally planned to make fun of a few words, and even a few days ago, he specially prepared a few tricky questions for Long, and humorous lines to set off the atmosphere. But because of the previous experience, and with the special instructions of the backstage director, he had to put away his talk show hosting style.

Lin Feng picked up the microphone and routinely thanked: "I want to thank my family first, especially my parents, in addition to Adams, the president of Jupiter Records, who has given me a lot of help, and I am very grateful to my fans, LONG can achieve such a big result today is inseparable from your support, with you I have this long, thank you!"

After Lin Feng said the above words, he handed McPhee to the host. The host couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately handed him the microphone again, asking, "Long, what else do you have to say to the fans in front of the TV?"

Lin Feng glanced at him and said with a smile: "Since you are so enthusiastic, then let me say one more thing, I have decided that the next Grammy will not come to participate! That is to say, no matter whether I am nominated for the next Grammy or not, whether I have won an award or not, I have decided not to participate!"

As soon as he said this, it was equivalent to slapping Grammy's mouth on the spot, and the audience was in an uproar. Long's remarks undoubtedly indicate a strong protest against his rejection of the two awards just now. The host regretted it so much that he almost gave himself a few mouths, if he hadn't asked, Long wouldn't have said this.

Lin Feng didn't care about the host who stood on the stage with an embarrassed face, and directly took the "golden record player" off the stage. The audience along the way stood up and applauded him, welcoming him back to his seat like a triumphant hero.

The live camera faithfully recorded this footage.

"Long, I admire your courage. Walter Sr., who caught up behind him, walked side by side with him with a look of admiration on his face, "It's not that no one has publicly rejected the Grammy before. But in front of hundreds of millions of people around the world, such an official announcement is clearly the first example. This Grammy is wonderful because of you, and it is also tarnished because of you. ”

Lin Fengquan didn't hear the old man's nagging, so he was silent and returned to his seat and sat down.

"Long, you did a good job!" Adams smiled at this time, looking even more proud than he had done, and lowered his head and whispered to Lin Feng, "Tonight's Grammy Awards party is destined to be yours alone, and tomorrow's newspaper headlines will definitely be competing to report about what you did today, and you are a well-deserved king." I've decided that when I go back tonight, I'll ramp up the release of your debut album again, and you're going to do a miracle. Then you will be God! No, you are God now!"

Adams obviously thought of Lin Feng, because after the Grammys this time, it will definitely detonate the tide of public opinion around the world, and of course the long-term debut album will continue to sell well.

Adams looked forward to the good money that "Long" would bring to the company, but his mind was still a little clear, and he immediately reminded: "Long, although you are now publicly refusing to participate in the next Grammys, I hope that you will continue to perform on stage later." ”

Lin Feng nodded, he is a person who has a beginning and an end, since he has decided to stay and get the end of this Grammy ceremony, he naturally has to do his part.

After being embarrassed for a while, the host on the stage diverted the topic a little clumsily and invited the next guest performer to perform on stage.

After several awards and performances, it was Lin Feng's turn to be nominated for the last one - Best R&B Male Singer.

When encountering the award nominated by LONG, the host had to put away his humor cells again, read out the shortlisted candidates according to the script, and then invited the award presenters to the stage.

This time, the guest of honor is also not small, it is the vice president of the American Music Arts Association, this is a very serious looking black old man in his sixties, he has no extra nonsense, he took the letter and read it directly, simply and clearly: "The winner is long! Let's congratulate him!"

Although it was the second time to applaud and cheer for the long, the sound of the scene was as good as the first, which is understandable, and the best R&B male singer is obviously a little heavier than the best R&B song.
