Chapter 887: Harvest Night
The Staples Sports Center in Los Angeles is buzzing with activity, as it is the place where the annual Grammys are held, and today is a little more playful than the previous Oscars, and more of a star loved by teenagers.
The stars are star-studded, and the stars are not so rigorous, whether it is a movie star or a singer, the king and queen all treat this as a party to join in the fun. The veteran black Oscar winner Morgan Freeman appeared wearing a trendy hat, while the Australian beauty Nicole Kidman showed her love sweetly with her husband, Hollywood socialite Hilton was hugged by fans on the red carpet, the Jonas brothers walked across the red carpet with their mother, Taylor Swift showed off her breasts like a muse in a black dress, Fruit sister Katie Perui was sexy and hot, the diva Beyoncé was enthusiastic and unrestrained, the rap king Eminem was still in a ruffian state, Justin Timberlake was handsome and compelling, and Whitney Houston was extraordinarily confident, The big-bellied MIA maternity clothes are still charming, Jay-z is cool and extraordinary, Wheat Grains Sellers is young and active, Uncle Saobin is irresistible, Pepper Winnice Paltrow is noble and cold, England hopes that Adele is unstoppable, Coldplay band Magic Red sings on the same stage, and Oscar-winning actor and Grammy Best Actor Jamie Fox supports Yang Lin.
More than 100 celebrities, large and small, dazzled reporters outside the venue, but tonight's protagonist has not yet come out, Yang Lin, who won eight nominations, should be the first time to participate in the Grammy competition, but his record is not bad, leading all the finalists, and is regarded by the outside world as the biggest favorite of this year's Grammys.
In this year's nominations, American music can be said to have been urged, and the British music scene has sprung up. accounted for the majority of the nominations. Don't count Yang Lin for the time being. 7 nominations for the hottest Coldplay band in the UK. Renowned rap artist Lil Wayne also won 7 nominations, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye. West received six nominations. Alison Krauss, John Mayer, Robert Plant, Radiohead and Jazmine Sullivan all received five nominations. DangerMouse, Eagles, LupeFiasco, GeorgeStrait, and T.I. all received four nominations.
How many of the eight nominations will be won? This is not only the audience's problem, but also Yang Lin's own question. He is very confident today, because in 2008 he should be the most outstanding singer, although he has not had a large-scale concert tour, but album sales and word of mouth and single rankings are enough.
As of this Monday, his debut English-language album has sold 10.7 million copies and has won five platinum certifications in the United States. This is the first album to sell more than 10 million in the 21st century. His achievements are not limited to this, the MV (Rollinginthedeep) joined by many celebrities has exceeded 100 million views on youtube.
Speaking of which, most of the people Yang Lin knows in the United States are actors, so there are almost no people he knows to chat with at this time. While he was sitting alone in a chair playing with his phone, Justin Timberlake came over and sat next to him, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you go and talk to someone?" ”
Yang Lin stretched out his hands helplessly and explained: "I also want to talk to others, but I am not familiar with any of them, and I don't want to disturb them when I watch them chatting with friends." By the way, introduce yourself. I'm Yang Lin. ”
"I know you are Yang Lin, and you are my idol now." Justin is simply a self-cooked. He took Yang Lin's hand and let go after a moment. Then he noticed the confusion on Yang Lin's face, and his handsome face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and he said: "I'm an actor now, and I'm also a singer." You're the kind of guy I've ever met who blends the two perfectly. ”
Justin, who debuted for a long time and had a great reputation in the group "Superboy", has indeed given up his singing career to join the film over the years, but he is a well-known pop king in the music industry, but he is a newcomer in the film industry. Movies such as "Love Mentor", "The Road is Smooth", and "Black Mamba" all received mediocre responses, and the box office was not satisfactory.
Yang Lin naturally knows very well who he is, it is a waste of resources for such a good singer to run to be an actor, so many actors are not bad for this actor, but the music world is very lacking in a popular king. He pouted and said, "Actually, I feel like I'm about to die of busyness now, and it's not good to take care of both." I think you'd better return to the music scene, I'm a big fan of yours! ”
didn't expect Yang Lin to be so talkative, Justin had forgotten the original intention of talking to him, and the two of them talked about singing and dancing all the way to the acting skills he cared about the most.
"Actually, you look very good, very handsome, you just need to strengthen the processing of your expressions. Acting is not a simple thing, but you need to guess for yourself. Personally, I recommend that you master the most basic expressions first, which look very real and do not have traces. Yang Lin gave his own advice, he really didn't think about Boss Jia, but what can be done!
The awards ceremony was about to start, Justin patted his thigh fiercely, and said a little embarrassed: "I've been talking to you for so long, I forgot what I was here for." When the award ceremony is over, I'll introduce you to some friends, they are all leaders in the music industry, Beyoncé, Jay-z, they will definitely welcome you. ”
Faced with Justin, whose enthusiasm index exceeded the standard, Yang Lin could only refuse: "I'm sorry, I'm going to enter the crew of "Star Trek" immediately after the award ceremony, I've exceeded the deadline for two days, and if I don't go to the director, I guess I'm going to make trouble, and I can't afford the liquidated damages." ”
"Well, if you have a movie to make, I can understand it, next time I have time to find you, don't refuse!" Justin stood up, gave Yang Lin a look, and walked away.
The awards ceremony has a very luxurious stage, this is where Yang Lin completes the task, and he also has a star development system task, as long as the performance at the Grammys meets the standard, then he will have a Hollywood A-class production movie as a starring role. Such an opportunity is quite rare. He didn't want to miss it.
This time he was not in charge of the opening act. It's enough to perform your own song that was shortlisted for the Best Single award in the middle of the process, after all, this is a music award, and there will be a lot of performances. On the one hand, the audience wants to see the attribution of the awards, and on the other hand, they want to see the wonderful performances.
The opening performance was presented by Fruit Sister Katy Perry, and her explosive song "ET" opened today's grand ceremony. Yang Lin is also sitting in danger and preparing for his coronation.
Nominated for Best Production of the Year, Best Album of the Year (We-are-young), Song of the Year (Rolling-in-the-deep), Best Male Pop Singer, Best Newcomer, Best Pop Choir, Best Rock Song, Best Electronic Music Production, Yang Lin's eight nominations are full of gold, and the first award is in the comprehensive category.
There are only four Grammy Awards in the overall category, Best Production of the Year, Best Album of the Year, Best New Artist of the Year, and Best Song of the Year. And just right. Yang Lin was shortlisted for these four awards, so the people around him turned their eyes to him.
The first award for Best Production of the Year went to the multinational duo of young and old, Plant and Klaus' album "Jansha".
Historically, the arrogant British have always regarded the Americans as the little brothers of their colonies, but the glory of history has not allowed the British to take advantage of the slightest advantage in pop music, and the Americans do not take the "big brother" British seriously at all, and a large number of American singers and bands have long become a landscape when they invade the British music scene. However, we still have to believe in the saying, "ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi", the Americans have been proud for many years, and it is time for the British to show their faces, and the 2009 Grammys are their best chance.
Nothing makes the British proud more than taking the Americans' prize on American soil. From the nominations before the awards ceremony, the British battleship led by Coldplay (OldPlay) has the momentum of not winning the award, which is more like a collective encirclement. "Coldplay", "Radiohead" Adele, Leona Lewis, and Duffy Qi attacked the "Grammys" for several of the heaviest awards, which was far better than last year's Amy Winehouse alone. Last year, Amy Winehouse won numerous awards alone, and this time the British singers and bands are naturally more confident in their collective actions.
The first award was won by a British singer, and the momentum was naturally different. And Yang Lin was the only yellow person on the scene, he sat on the position without arrogance and patted his hands gently. He doesn't believe that he won't win awards according to his results, if that's the case, the honor that the Grammys have maintained for decades will be ruined, and no singer can get around Yang Lin's hurdle.
Sure enough, on the subsequent album of the year, Yang Lin successfully won a gramophone: "Actually, I give me a score of recognition for the Grammy jury awarding this award to me." ”
The extremely simple acceptance speech seems to be a bomb in many cases, and in the words of netizens, it is "to make tens of millions of Yankees speechless with his own strength".
This is the arrogance of a musician, and it is also the embodiment of Yang Lin's self-confidence, I know that I am very good at singing, the quality of the album is very good, and the sales are good, so there is no mistake in awarding this award to me.
After a while, the audience applauded thunderously, and many viewers found themselves in love with Yang Lin's unruliness and pride. Yang Lin, who got the gramophone, also raised his eyebrows, this sentence was something he had prepared for a long time.
With this start, "Rollinginthedeep" also beat the rest of the candidates in the Best Song of the Year, winning Yang Lin a second golden gramophone. Even if she lost to Adele in the Best Newcomer of the Year, Yang Lin did not complain at all, because that was what she deserved.
Of the four comprehensive awards, Yang Lin won half of them. In the subsequent pop awards, he almost cut the enemy all the way, but lost the award for best pop chorus to "Richwomen". Four nominations in the pop category, Best Male Pop Singer, Best Rock Song, and Best Electronic Music Production Three Gramophones.
The five-seat gramophone almost blocked Yang Lin's whole person, he held these trophies with both hands, almost struggling, but he was still happy to accept the reporter's interview and take pictures. (To be continued......)
PS: These distractions are finally over, wipe a sweat. Now I have to go back to my favorite place to write, that is, to show my acting skills on the set and use my acting skills to tell the plot. The filming of "Star Trek 11: Open the Future" officially begins below, and Yang Lin's role is Sulu, the chief helmsman of the Future!!
