Chapter 288: Grammy
Of course, in order to be able to use such a precious opportunity as Scarlett, a smart and beautiful woman, they also have to pay a lot of price. After all, Zhang Fan's net worth, fame and status are constantly rising, and it is a very valuable opportunity to get a promise from him. If there is not enough pay and exchange, Scarlett will not be stupid to use it for others.
Zhang Fan figured out these things almost instantaneously. Looking at Scarlett, who looked slightly nervous, Zhang Fan laughed, "Okay." ”
Although he was a little dissatisfied, Zhang Fan finally chose to agree to Scarlett's request.
The world is unequal, and men have a natural psychological advantage when it comes to women. When Zhang Fan and Scarlett were together, no matter what other reasons, at least Zhang Fan himself felt that he was in a dominant position and enjoyed the women around him.
In this case, when Scarlett offers to get something in return. Zhang Fan naturally would not refuse. This is true for any man, and in the face of women's demands, men tend to look at them with a dominant mentality.
Scarlett was visibly relieved, after all, Zhang Fan was notoriously reluctant to share his work with anyone. He was able to agree to this request of his own, and it was entirely the result of his own sake. This even gave Scarlett a touching emotion.
"Thank you, dear. Scarlett hugged Zhang Fan tightly with some emotion.
Taylor Swift and her team of agents are not casual in making such a request. If you want to impress Scarlett, what kind of friendship is purely a joke. He and Taylor Swift were just nodding acquaintances. What really struck her was the benefits they were paying. And Zhang Fan's nod of agreement was her gain.
"You can give her songs. But. Zhang Fan hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and said softly, "But it can't be given in vain." The specific operation needs to be discussed, and the division and creation cost must be discussed in detail. ”
Zhang Fan is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to give away the good things he got from the system store in vain. Even if it is decided to use it for outsiders, it is still necessary to negotiate the revenue share or something.
Of course, these things are to be operated by professionals, and Zhang Fan does not need to be on the field in person.
"Alright. Zhang Fan smiled and hugged the beautiful woman in his arms, his eyes were full of ridicule, "Now that the business is over, can we continue to exercise?"
Scarlett, who was in a good mood, smiled and threw herself into Zhang Fan's arms. Soon, the villa in Malibu resounded with the unique sound of a man and woman having a moment of pleasure.
Although he agreed to Scarlett's request, Zhang Fan was not in a hurry. After all, this matter is Taylor Swift's side begging for his own errand, and he goes to the contact house to do something. Just wait for Taylor to take the initiative to contact.
And the best time is naturally at the Grammys.
Before Zhang Fan went to the Grammy Awards, he asked Eddie to inquire if he could win the award this time. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have attended.
If you don't win an award but still have to go to the award ceremony, the only end is to be ridiculed by everyone. It's completely a monkey being played by. Moreover, the Recording Academy also invited Zhang Fan to do a stage performance, if he finished his hard performance and then did not win the award, he would definitely become the laughing stock of everyone the next day, so as to make a big splash in the media. It's just a negative, ridiculed limelight.
Zhang Fan didn't want to be a monkey, so he first went to inquire if he could win the award before deciding whether to go or not.
has enough connections in Hollywood, and at this time, Eddie, who is the head of Zhang Fan's American branch, quickly passed the news back. The recording academy said that Zhang Fan would definitely win the award, but he did not tell which award or how many awards he would win.
The so-called selection seems fair and fair, but in the commercial society of the United States, there is almost nothing that money can't do. After the recording academy revealed to Zhang Fan that he would inevitably win the award, Zhang Fan decided to attend the award ceremony. However, Zhang Fan refused to do a stage performance, because he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It seems that he will not be as fruitful as expected at the Grammys this time.
Walking the red carpet with Zhang Fan was Lin Yueying, after all, the song "Moves Like Jagger" was sung by Zhang Fan and her.
Zhang Fan was shortlisted for several awards this time, including Best Newcomer, Best Album, Best Production, Best Composition, Best Pop Singer and Best Pop Duet. All of them are heavyweight awards among the Grammys.
The Oscars have always been criticized by the media for having too many awards, but the Grammys have far more music awards than the Oscars.
The Grammys are very meticulously divided. Awards for pop, electronic, rock, alternative, classical, rap, country, jazz and even church songs. As for folk songs and children's songs, they all have different awards.
As for the arrangement, lyrics and even packaging, album production and mixing, these also have awards. As for the Grammys' special achievement awards and special awards, there will naturally be no shortage of them.
There are many categories and awards, a total of 28 categories, and a total of 101 awards!
With so many awards, the ceremony was a truly big gathering, with hundreds of nominees alone. Plus their partners, special guests, and journalists or something. It's definitely a very lively and grand party.
And because of the timing of the selection, the Grammys are actually all works from the year before last year to the first half of last year. Otherwise, Zhang Fan would have participated in last year's Grammys.
Because there are so many awards, most people and the media will ignore those niche awards. Only heavyweight awards like Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, and so on will be noticeable. And Zhang Fan, who has won several heavyweight selections, has already made a big splash in the media after the Grammy nomination announcement, and many media have even claimed that Zhang Fan will sweep this year's Grammys.
Judging from the performance of the media during this time, Zhang Fan felt a trace of weirdness and doubt. This kind of full-blown touting feels a lot like a killing. Before the awards, you will be held high in the sky, but if you return home at the awards ceremony, the whole media will laugh at you wildly after the award ceremony.
If you do something out of the ordinary during this time, such as feeling good about yourself because of the many nominations and the media touting, you can say something out of the ordinary. Then the media had plenty of ammunition when they attacked.
Many young people will not be able to tolerate this huge gap and the relentless ridicule of the media, and will collapse from the ground. There are as many examples of this as the stars in the history of the American music industry.
In fact, Zhang Fan's hunch was correct.
The music industry seems to have nothing to do with the film industry, but how can the same entertainment industry really not violate the river water?
After the powerful Disney was robbed of Pixar by Zhang Fan, he has been thinking about revenge against Zhang Fan. And at this year's Grammy Awards, they made a move.
Although there is no way to completely affect the recording school, the recording school is deeply influenced by the four major music companies in the United States. And these four music companies are inextricably linked to several of Hollywood's biggest names. Disney has influenced the Recording Academy through the music company, and is ready to make Zhang Fan suffer a loss at this awards ceremony.
At the beginning, Disney was ready to let Zhang Fan get multiple nominations, but in the end, he returned home. But their influence has not reached the point where they can make recording schools bow down. And the recording academy is not stupid, they also know that Zhang Fan is not an ordinary singer who can be fiddled with at will. Zhang Fan is the owner of a large company with a net worth of billions, and he also has a huge influence in the entertainment industry. The result of playing Zhang Fan will definitely be retaliated against by him.
The Recording Academy can't give Zhang Fan a lot of nominations to make him happy to come to the award ceremony, and then not give him a single award, making him a laughing stock in the entire media industry. This kind of thing is as humiliating as slapping him in the face in front of a national live broadcast. Naturally, the hatred ended.
After all, the awards ceremony is run by the Recording Academy, and the awards are also presented by them. I can't tell Zhang Fan that all this is instructed by Disney, and if you have a debtor, you should go to Disney for revenge. This is a claim that only a fool would come up with.
Faced with a dilemma, the Recording Academy chose a compromise approach. That is to give Zhang Fan an award, but there is no heavyweight award. This is to be able to give an explanation to both sides.
Zhang Fan's hunch is correct, and Disney is indeed pushing behind the media hype. They want to hold Zhang Fan up, and it is best to make his heart swell. If you don't get anything afterwards, it's best if you can collapse in the ridicule of countless people and even commit suicide without thinking about it. In that case, Disney will be able to get Pixar back, and even have the opportunity to obtain the mouth-watering copyrights in Zhang Fan's hands.
However, Zhang Fan's calmness disappointed Disney.
He was not heavily influenced by the media hype and the accolades of receiving multiple nominations. In an interview, he was cautious, leaving no handle for people to attack.
Even when Disney specially arranged reporters to lure Zhang Fan to say some insolent words in the media interview area at the end of the red carpet, Zhang Fan still expressed his gratitude for the nomination, but he didn't care too much about whether he won the award or not. Believe in the official vocabulary of the recording academy or something.
Zhang Fan's caution and strong premonition allowed him to easily get through a trap. Even if he doesn't get anything at the awards ceremony afterwards, he won't be blamed too much.
As for the media falsifying Zhang Fan's remarks or something, this kind of thing is simply impossible in a place where the legal system is sound. Because this is not a moral issue, and it is not something that can be understood by apologizing afterwards or symbolically paying some money. Here in the United States, this practice is a crime of Chiguoguo, and it is a felony!
No one would risk committing a felony to fake the words of a rich man. Because rich people will hire barristers and send them to hellish prisons!
