For this kind of business, those international giants will not do it, after their evaluation, it is clear that the value of this kind of shoes in the future is far greater than this number, so they do not accept Ouyang Zhenhua's opinion, and finally negotiate with Naike to get a compromise plan, research and development funds Naike himself, but Ouyang Zhenhua wants to order 20 pairs of such shoes at a price of 50,000 US dollars per pair. (Like this book, please collect biquge.info) e^ see ""

In other words, Naike wants to get $1 million in return first. For such a result, even if it is not too unsatisfactory, Ouyang Zhenhua can only accept it, after all, Chen Kangjie urgently needs such shoes, otherwise, he can invest in such research and development by himself, but it will take a long time to do it himself, and Chen Kangjie can't wait.

Just when Ouyang Zhenhua was ordering shoes for Chen Kangjie, a big event happened, Feiyang Entertainment received an invitation from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Science to attend the 38th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 14, 1995. The Grammy Awards, known as the "Oscars of the music industry", began in 1957, and the first Grammy Awards were presented in 1958, and the Recording Society held an annual award ceremony since then.

Although the Grammy Awards are awards in the American recording industry, they are now one of the most influential music awards in the world. The Grammys in music are like the Oscars in film, and while they undoubtedly bear the stamp of American culture, most musicians around the world are still proud to have won this old gramophone.

In addition to the fact that the United States has always been the center of global pop music and represents a high level of pop music, there are three reasons why the Grammys can be talked about by musicians around the world.

The first is its authority. The American Recording Society is an organization of veteran musicians with 12 regional chapters and one chapter for producers and engineers across the United States, with more than 10,000 members. Fifteen categories of professionals, including singers, performers, lyricists, composers, conductors, photographers, lyricists, and music video producers, can apply to serve as jury members, but only those who have at least six published works are eligible to serve as judges. People who do not have real talent and lack of dedication to the pursuit of music generally do not make it to the jury. With such a jury of veteran professionals, it is only natural that music lovers will be trusted.

The second is its impartiality. The selection of the Grammy Awards has a very strict system and procedure. Entries must be selected from the current year. Once a work is recommended, it is first screened and qualified by more than 150 experts from various fields in the music industry, and then classified. Except for the entries that need to be voted on by the Special Nomination Committee, all the entries that pass the preliminary selection will be sent to the judges for the first round of voting. However, each judge can only vote for 9 of their own special JĪNG awards, and of course they also have to vote for the 4 awards of Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. After the preliminary evaluation, the list will be voted by the judges for the second round, and each judge can only choose 8 awards for voting in addition to the 4 basic awards. These strict measures effectively ensure the fairness of the selection.

The third is its widespread impact. The Grammys didn't have much fame when they first came out, and it was television that helped. Television not only turned the Grammys' otherwise rigid awards ceremony into a colorful music program, but also broadcast it live to the world, which greatly increased the international profile of the Grammys. A large number of European and American music superstars performed on stage, coupled with the stage art and technical means that Americans are good at using, made the Grammy awards ceremony a popular entertainment event all over the world. The 44th annual Grammy Awards Gala attracted about 1.7 billion viewers from 170 countries around the world. The Grammy Awards ceremony went global, making the Grammy Awards a widely accepted award for musicians around the world.

In 1994, Feiyang Entertainment recommended Chen Kangjie's first English album "YouareBeautiful" to the National Academy of Recording and Science.

In the selection process of the Grammy Awards, it is mainly recommended by the judges, but the number of music products released each year is too large, and the judges cannot be exhaustive.

I don't know if Chen Kangjie's "luck" is not very good, or other well-known reasons, he belongs to this kind of person who is missed. The nomination deadline is approaching, and the producers of Fan Wenxuan and Chen Kangjie have not received any news that Chen Kangjie's album has been nominated.

As a last resort, Fan Wenxuan and they had to take the initiative to recommend. The results were not bad, with four nominations, Best Newcomer (Bestneg), Best Instrumental Composition (Bestinstrumentalposition), and ProduceroftheYear (Non-classical).

Of these four awards, only the first one is focused, is one of the four general categories, and the other three general categories are Record of the Year (Record of the Year), Album of the Year (Album of the Year), and Song of the Year (Song of the Year). The other three awards are not so heavy, and the last nominated award has little to do with Chen Kangjie, which is mainly for Jeffcasey and Saftajaffery.

Because Chen Kangjie has just debuted in the music industry, if it is reasonable to say that singing awards such as Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance (Best Male Rock Vocal Performance) cannot be nominated, how can the album that swept the world's major charts not even get nominations for Best Record of the Year, Best Album of the Year, and Best Single of the Year?

It has to be said that the Grammys are really not very affected by the rankings, they mainly consider technology and art, because the judges are professionals and not ordinary songs. Moreover, it is still unknown whether Chen Kangjie will win the award, because the Grammy Award was announced on the spot at the awards ceremony, and until then, only the staff of Deloitte &Touche, the accounting firm responsible for managing the envelope, had the opportunity to know. Deloitte, along with PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, and Ernst & Young, is one of the world's Big Four accounting firms, and its credibility is guaranteed, and the judges' votes are delivered to them by mail, and the results are obtained from them on the day of the awards.

"Jie Shao, do you want to go to this award ceremony?" , After Chen Kangjie's all-day training was completed and he was lazily lying on the chuáng, Ouyang Zhenhua called him.

"What am I going to do? I can't afford to lose that person, this is an honor for the Chinese, not for me personally, you don't know, before this, only Yo-Yo Ma was a Chinese who won the Grammy Award, and it was also a performance award, Yo-Yo Ma is not a Chinese national, do you think I can win the award? Chen Kangjie said indifferently.

"Jie Shao, are you saying that you can't win the award? No way? Ouyang Zhenhua thinks this is a bit unlikely, after all, Chen Kangjie's album is so popular, so far, more than 63 million copies have been sold worldwide.

"That's not necessarily, it's just that the possibility of winning the award is small, if I can really win the award, then I should be able to get the nomination of the judges at the nomination stage, how can I wait until the company recommends such a thing, is it that they really missed it? Now in the West, there are not many people who don't know about my album, but they are like they haven't seen it, but you're a person in the music industry, isn't it strange? Chen Kangjie asked rhetorically.

"I'm a person in the music industry, I'm just a half-ass, besides, it was a few years ago, I can be out of the music industry for five or six years", Ouyang Zhenhua is now a person in the business and financial circles, and his experience in Rolling Stone has long been taken to heart.

"Hehe, yes, that's what it used to be."

"Jie Shao, you mean those judges are racist? Because you're Chinese, you're excluded? Ouyang Zhenhua didn't continue to joke with Chen Kangjie, but asked seriously.

"In the Western tradition, in fact, we don't look down on the Chinese, of course, we don't mean that most people have discrimination and prejudice against us, objectively speaking, the kind of discrimination and prejudice are a minority", speaking of this, Chen Kangjie changed his words, "However, most of them must be uncomfortable with the Easterners breaking into their core area, this kind of discomfort will inevitably lead to some kind of rejection, in the field of pop culture and pop music, it has always been Western musicians and cultural people who are in control, I suddenly broke in, And the results are quite good, do you think they will be able to adapt? Can they run out of ideas? ”。

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to adapt to it", Ouyang Zhenhua replied matter-of-factly, "Then you mean that you can't win one of the awards in this?" ”。

"Actually, I don't care if I win an award or not, all I want is those songs, awards, I see it very openly. Legends of the music industry such as Queen, Dianaross (with eighteen number one songs) have not won a Grammy, so what's so strange about me? For these awards, Chen Kangjie has always been very open-minded.

Chen Kangjie's current state of mind has departed from the stage of pursuing fame by winning awards, and he doesn't dare to say that he is extraordinary, but it is true that he has taken those personal honors very lightly in his heart.

"If that's what you say, you're really not going to attend? Don't go to see and see? Ouyang Zhenhua yòuhuò said.

"I won't go, just let Jeffcasey and Saftajaffery be the representatives, anyway, they also have nominations this time, Fan Wenxuan can go, if I can really miraculously win a half award, she will lead it, and the reason why I don't go is as you can make up", Chen Kangjie's decision rarely changes.
