Chapter 60: The Coming Grammys
On February 23, 2003 at 6 p.m. EST (7 a.m. Beijing time on February 24), the world's high-profile 45th annual Grammy Awards will be held two hours later at New York Madison Square Garden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Celebrities from all over the United States and around the world will be dressed up to attend, and the number of young artists competing for the Grammys is in suspense.
When the full list of nominees came out on January 7, many experts and media began to analyze and predict this year's Grammys. Eight artists, including rap ruffian Eminem, rock J.K. Avril Lavigne, "boss" Bruce Springsteen, R&B diva Ashanti and talented Norah Jones, all received five nominations, with Norah Jones receiving a total of eight nominations.
It can be seen from the list of nominees this time that this year's Grammys are likely to have a new scene of the new, middle and old generations contending. In the past, the Grammys were still "favored" by the stars of their predecessors, but the rise of the new Grammys this time may cause an upset about the ownership of the Grammys.
Li Shenghao came to the scene accompanied by the whole family and teacher Mariah Kelly, and the family and teacher entered the scene with a few friends and girlfriends, and Li Shenghao still needed to walk the red carpet.
Although he didn't know what nervousness was since he awakened his consciousness after crossing over, except for about the nine, today Li Shenghao finally felt a little nervous.
The heart starts beating faster!
His mental age in his previous life and present life together is almost 40 years old, but he has never experienced such a major scene, and today when he came to the Grammys, he finally felt what the big scene was like.
Lee Sung-ho's order of appearance was not arranged at the very beginning.
One is because although he is a newcomer who has debuted for less than half a year, since the single came out, Li Shenghao's popularity in the past few months has been very high, and through three songs of different styles, many people, especially young people, have known this talented genius of the Celestial Empire.
Especially with the playback of the sweet and beautiful single MV, Lee Sung-ho's handsome appearance and sunny smile have attracted the favor of countless young girls.
After the day, Mariah Carey's attention, the broadcast of Oprah's talk show and the support of Beyoncé, who is going to prepare a new album in the near future, Lee Sung-ho ignited a "heavenly fire" in the United States, and the single sales soared, and he was in a position on the Billboard singles chart every day.
As an Asian music producer who has never been favored, Li Shenghao's sudden rise this time has won 3 Grammy nominations, regardless of whether he can win the award in the end, it shows that Li Shenghao's strength has been recognized by the European and American music circles.
The last reason is that the operation of the two mothers also made the organizers of the Grammys have to consider the factors, so Li Shenghao was placed in the middle of the front position.
In the entertainment industry, whether it is the Celestial Empire, South Korea, or the United States, competition is everywhere!
Whether it is overt or secretly, every award ceremony, whether it is worldwide or a small range of a country, there are many awards after all, but there are countless artists competing for this. The battle over the carpet before the ceremony has also intensified in recent years!
Whether it is from the comparison of costumes or the suppression of momentum, all of them have become part of the competition, no one wants to lose, even if the artist himself does not value it very much, but the production team behind him, the company to which the artist belongs will push you to compete.
Sometimes the effect of a red carpet show in just a few minutes is even comparable to an advertisement, a good song, a TV series, a movie, it depends on how you grasp it and how you shine, for which everyone spares no expense.
As an annual music festival that attracts global attention, it is comparable to the Oscars in the film industry, and it is a world-class supreme stage. Every year, any news of the Grammys has the potential to become a sensation or give an artist a big boost.
The Grammys not only attract celebrities, but also entertainment journalists who rely on them. Sometimes even reporters from the economic circle will come to the scene to watch, no matter what the aspect, there will never be a shortage of material for a Grammy Awards, as long as you dig out with your heart.
At this time, at the end of the red carpet in Madison Square Garden, reporters crowded the photo area in the order of arrival, and everyone continued to use small actions to grab the best possible photo spots. As long as you can take an eye-catching photo, then this month's bonus is considered to have been found, and it is worth sweating, exerting a little effort, and suffering a little sin.
And this year's Grammys have another layer of meaning, so there are definitely a lot more reporters than before, Li Shenghao glanced a little in the car, and the preliminary estimate is that there are at least six or seven hundred people. And that's just the reporters on the red carpet, and there are already a large number of reporters in the hall of the awards ceremony, in order to introduce more people to this grand music gathering.
And on both sides of the red carpet is the large number of fans.
They stood outside the cordon, layer upon layer, and the cold weather did not stop them from coming to the scene to support their favorite stars, and at a glance it was all densely crowded.
Most of these fans are holding celebrity merchandise, posters, electronic lanterns, CDs, and various cheering signs. As long as their favorite stars are present, they will burst out with the greatest enthusiasm to welcome, support, and wish the stars to win awards at this music event.
The on-site support will allow fans to feel the joy of sharing together and feeling honor.
As big stars such as Azati and Charlie Valtimo began to appear, heavyweights also came to the scene.
After receiving the instructions, Li Shenghao finally sorted out his clothes. The clothes he wears today are all the results of the three mothers shopping, and they were professionally arranged and designed by stylists and makeup artists yesterday.
Li Shenghao patted Zhang Xiaotian on the shoulder and motioned for him to drive. Zhang Xiaotian calmed down his excitement, nodded, skillfully started the car sent by Mariah Carey, and slowly came to the red carpet.
On its debut, under the illumination of the lights, this cool Sage supercar immediately attracted people's attention. Although there are countless luxury cars at such a global awards ceremony, and everyone is almost used to it, this steel Jing Ling slowly driving out of the darkness still caused a sensation.
Some eye-catching reporters immediately recognized the new model that Sjuker had just launched last year, and the body shell was completed by the world's most skilled artisans in the United Kingdom, which is regarded as a country of art. The mirrors, beautiful air intakes and rims are made of the finest aluminium alloy alloy, and the super-strong frame is all made of aluminium alloy cast at one time.
The front of the car continues the traditional aerodynamic layout, while the design style of the side air intakes not only hints at its ultra-high performance and performance, but also makes the sports car stand out from the rest, while the slightly sloping rear design also makes the overall shape of the book more fluid and lively.
The unique shape, the intoxicating roar of the engine, and the chic streamlined body make this Jing Ling bloom with charming brilliance in the dark night.
For a while, the flash began to flash continuously, and the shutter sound of "click" came and went.
The scythe door on the side slowly rose, and one foot was on the ground first.
At the same time, at about 8 o'clock in the morning Korean time, in a small practice room of South Korea's S.M Entertainment Company, Zheng Xiuyan was sitting in front of the TV staring intently at the screen, engrossed!
Knowing that today is the Grammy awards ceremony, Zheng Xiuyan, who rarely gets up early, came to the company from home without even having breakfast. From time to time, she stared at the pip clock on the wall, and as soon as the time was up, she turned on the TV.
Just when Zheng Xiuyan was staying in front of the TV with excitement and guilt, Lin Yun'er, who also likes to come late every day, also arrived early for the first time. When she came to the practice room and pushed the door open, she was amazed!
I didn't expect Sicaoni, who likes to sleep in bed, to arrive early. And Zheng Xiuyan, who also turned her head because of the sound of the door opening, also looked at Lin Yun'er who appeared at the door with a look of disbelief.
The two famous late kings of S.M actually appeared in the practice room early in the morning of the same day, and this meeting made the two parties also feel weird. And Kwon Yoo-ri, Kim Hyo-yeon and Park In-jeong, who will come later, are indeed surprised by the abnormal behavior of these two people today.
Seeing Sicaoni glancing over with puzzled eyes, Lin Yun'er's cheeks suddenly turned red.
Last night she had a strange, absurd dream that caused her to wake up before 6 o'clock, and she remembered the dream clearly and completely after waking up.
It's just that this strange dream is very ambiguous and pink, and it is related to the Sicaoni in front of him. This dream makes the girl who has just entered the period of physical development and childbearing very shy and entangled.
The large bed that used to be unusually warm and comfortable also made her want to sleep again, so she came to the practice room early for the first time today to calm down.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as I pushed open the door of the practice room, I bumped into Sicaoni, who never imagined that he would be here at this time. So Lin Yun'er thought of that dream when Zheng Xiuyan came over, and her little face turned red involuntarily, shy and at the same time with a hint of panic and a hint of aftertaste.
Seeing that Sicaoni just glanced at himself in surprise, beckoned to him, and then turned his head to continue staring at the TV. What a weird feeling!
Although this Ernie is usually a little cold, he likes himself very much, why didn't his early arrival as a late king attract the attention of another late king? Wrong!
She let go of her inner thoughts and came to Zheng Xiuyan, and when she turned her attention to the TV, she knew the reason, and the scene in front of her made her eyes widen and her mouth grown, followed by a little boy-like voice made out of excitement.
