Chapter 177: The Dust Settles
Letters: Amy Lee won the Best Female Pop Singer award at the 48th Grammy Festival. Become the first Chinese singer to win this award! ”
Tianya, Sohu, Sina, and Baidu, all the media forums that are concerned about this matter have put this shocking news on the homepage for the first time!
Although some people always say that the Grammys are the stuff of Europeans and Americans, honor is honor, and this award is the representative of the highest musical achievement on the planet.
Yo-Yo Ma, a Chinese-American cellist, has won more than a dozen Grammy Awards.
Chinese musician Su Cong, Japanese musician Ryu Sakamoto and American musician David Byrne won the Grammy Award for Best Visual Media Soundtrack for the soundtrack of the film "The Last Emperor".
Chinese musician Tan Dun won the Grammy Award for Best Visual Media Original Sound for the soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
This is the footprint left by the Chinese at the Grammys, among which Yo-Yo Ma is the most outstanding. But he's American, and there's no comparison between the instrumental category and the Best Female Pop Singer award.
Although China is the oldest ancient country, people are eager to be recognized by the outside world. It's not because of low self-esteem, but because I want to show that I'm strong. But it's a pity that celebrities will only rub the red carpet to find topics at international ceremonies.
The appearance of Lotus and Li Jiani filled this gap, although the two sang English songs, although the two developed in the United States. But music is music, Chinese are Chinese, and the two of them have done things that no star in China even dares to think of, not by luck, but by strength.
The Internet has been full of jubilation, and the photo of Li Jiani holding a golden gramophone and looking at the lotus flower affectionately is even more viral. However, the ceremony was far from over.
"Happy, aren't you?"
Lotus smiled and looked at Li Jiani, who couldn't put it down, playing with the trophy.
"Of course, it's gold!" Li Jiani said with her eyebrows fluttering.
"Wait" Lotus squeezed her little hand and asked in surprise, "Who told you it was gold?" ”
Li Jiani's hand paused, and she knocked on the gramophone in her hand in surprise, "Why isn't it gold?" Isn't it made of gold when you get it backstage? ”
The Grammys presented on site were all models, and the real alloy trophies engraved with the name of the award and the name of the winner needed to be collected backstage.
"Of course not, with such a lot of trophies, who can play with gold? What are you doing? He looked at Li Jiani suspiciously, who was looking at the trophy over and over again.
"I'll see if there's any bonus." Li Jiani tossed up and down, left and right.
The old monsters on the side looked at her with satisfaction, although they couldn't understand Chinese, but it was the first time they had seen such a situation that they couldn't let go!
"You let go," Lotus tried to stop her from trying to open the trophy, "Honor, do you understand?" This represents honor. ”
"Honor" Li Jiani looked at him blankly, the picture in her mind kept rolling, but she couldn't roll out this emotion after rolling for a long time. Ever since she followed the lotus, she has been thinking about how to harm the world, and she hasn't paid attention to the honor or anything! So she continued to roll
"There it is." Li Jiani's expression was narrow, holding the trophy as a shy and happy expression, she recalled the honor of receiving the three-merit student certificate from the teacher in elementary school.
"Alright, don't make a fuss." Lotus turned to look at the stage, and Celine Dion walked up as the guest of honor.
"Eun!" Li Jiani is not joking anymore, sit down properly, this award is fun!
Celine Dion presented a very controversial award, the Best Newcomer Award.
She opened the envelope in her hand, the smile on her face grew, and she let out an exclamation into the microphone, "Wow, it's her, Amy Lee, Roar"
"Haha-woo." Li Jiani hurriedly covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised, she almost got carried away and burst into laughter, she won the lotus! After so many years, I have never won except for bickering!
Lotus was the first to applaud, he was not surprised by this result at all, and it could even be said that this was what he was expecting. Because this award is out, it is possible for me to win three annual awards in the comprehensive category.
The Staples Center once again burst into applause, and everyone watched as the tall and beautiful Oriental girl walked onto the podium again. Clever has already guessed some situations, and strictly speaking, Amy has no possibility of challenging Eric in this award. But now that the rookie award has been awarded to Amy, then u2 may be the biggest loser.
Li Jiani walked on the award stage and hugged Celine Dion, it can be seen that Celine Dion admires this rising star very much, and the smile on her face has not stopped.
"Thank you!" Li Jiani was pleasantly surprised to take over the second gramophone from Celine Dion's hand, she stood up on the stage and lowered her head and tried to squeeze her tears, but she didn't succeed, so she spoke: "Well, I can't describe how excited I am now, so thank you!" Thank you to everyone who recognized us! ”
She looked around at the crowded pop stars and celebrities in the audience, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, "Eric often says to me, be kind to the world, and live a life full of gratitude!" Now, I have reaped the gift that life has given me! Thank you! All those who love us! ”
"Wow"
"Amy, that's awesome!"
The applause and cheers from the audience reached a new high, and the enthusiasm of Europeans and Americans for life is not a joke, Li Jiani's words make them completely empathetic!
Lotus also applauded with a look of relief, this woman seems to have really prepared secretly! Be kind to the world, bah! If the world were alone, you would have knocked it to the ground long ago.
Li Jiani returned to her seat elegantly, her heart was completely inflated! She can't wait to put the Grammy trophy on her head now!
"Calm down" Lotus held her little hand, there were old grandfathers and grandmothers all around, and their hearts were not very good.
"Eun!" Li Jiani nodded, took a few deep breaths to stabilize her emotions. She stared at the two gramophones in her arms with fiery eyes, this was the first time in her life that she had won a trophy!
The rest of the matter was none of her business, and although "Tik.tok" was nominated for dance music, it lost to The.Chemical.Brothers in the end.
With the awarding of several unpopular awards, Lotus also became nervous, whether it was worth spending his money or not, and the results would be available immediately.
On the podium, Ciks slowly opened the envelope, and he was going to present the award for the best male pop singer. There are only two favourites at the moment, Stevie.Wonder and Eric.
Steve Wonder, a black singer who has a big influence on the American music scene, is 65 years old this year, and his musical path is full of magic. This is a real "genius singer", he learned to play the harmonica at the age of 4, began to learn the piano at the age of 5, and played more than 10 instruments at the age of 11, and was born with a good voice. In 1963, he won the top single ranking for 3 weeks with the song "Fingertips", which shook the music scene at that time!
Steve Wonder sat smiling in the audience, no musician would say no to a Grammy, but he didn't think he had much of a chance of winning. He'd heard all of Eric's songs, and they had reached a level of perfection. What's more, he has won 17 Grammy Awards, and he doesn't care about a win or loss at all.
Ciks slowly pulled out the list of winners, and the letter E instantly appeared in his pupils, and everything was settled.
“Eric,《apologize》”
The Staples Center fell silent, and everyone in the room understood what the result meant. Although Amy also won the two-seat gramophone before, the gold content of the male singer is not so simple. This means that the jury recognized this oriental man, so with the amazing album "1987" by Eric, it seems that tonight is only for the sake of achieving one.
“yes!!”
Li Jiani's screams were the first to break the peace, and the applause slowly sounded, and then it was like thunder. Everyone stood up and looked at the elegant princely oriental man!
"Great!" Li Jiani hugged the lotus flower and said excitedly, she is more excited now than when she won the award!
Lotus smiled and patted her back gently, straightened her collar, and slowly walked to the podium.
"Hey, buddy, that's great!" Adam stood up with an excited face.
Seeing this, Lotus hurriedly ran over and hugged him.
"Eric, you're awesome!"
"Congratulations!"
He responded to everyone with a smile all the way, and walked for two minutes in just a distance of about ten meters. Everyone present understands that no one can stop the rise of Light&Hope, and it's good to brush your face at this time!
"Eric, congratulations."
"Thank you." Lotus hugged Ciks and took the trophy.
He looked at the gramophone in his hand, it felt good, and the color was good, but unfortunately it was not gold.
"Before today, if someone said to me, Eric, you're going to have a Grammy's golden gramophone." Lotus paused slightly, looked around at everyone and smiled: "Then I'll tell him, hey, buddy, I'm Eric, Eric・he." ”
The audience burst into laughter, and Lotus was emphasizing her Asian identity. In the United States, black people can say the word nigger, but people of other colors cannot, and to say that it is racist. In the same way, he can also use his identity to ridicule the differential treatment of some industries, and he is alluding to the Grammys' prejudice against other races.
"Tonight, I'm still Eric, but I've got a gramophone, albeit one." Lotus shrugged her shoulders and saved Grammy's face a little.
"Haha."
There was another burst of laughter in the audience, and Li Jiani also laughed stupidly, at least for now, she is still 2:1!
"Well, it seems like I'm running out of time. Thank you to my family, everyone at Light&Hope, and Amy who has always been there for me. Finally, I want to say, Amy, you're really charming tonight. Thank you! ”
Applause mixed with whistles filled the Staples Center, Li Jiani's little palms were about to turn red, but she was completely ignorant, she felt that what the lotus said was too right, I was really charming tonight! (To be continued.) )
