Hugo smiled and walked to the side stage, looked back and saw Pedro who was left alone on the stage, and couldn't help but smile even happier, but before he could continue to move forward, he was blocked by a force, Hugo realized that he didn't seem to be looking at the road, and bumped into someone else, so he hurriedly pushed a step back, and at the same time was ready to apologize, but when he looked forward, he saw an absolutely unexpected figure, which made Hugo forget to apologize directly, and just blurted out, "Michael!" ”

At this point, Hugo even wondered if he had seen it wrong, because Michael Jackson, dressed in a modified black tunic suit, with sunglasses and a wide-brimmed top hat, stood quietly in front of him, as if out of step with the noise and excitement around him.

But Michael in front of him showed a big smile, took the initiative to take off his sunglasses, and said softly, "What? I'm not welcome? ”

Hearing Michael's familiar voice, Hugo reacted, he was not mistaken, Michael really came to the Grammy scene! "No, I was just surprised." Rain said decisively and intermittently, and then stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, shook Michael's right hand, and greeted, "God, you're back in Los Angeles, why don't you call me?" ”

No, Michael took the initiative to pull Hugo, and then gave Hugo a big hug.

Hugo knew that Michael had never been used to hugging people, and he was still too vigilant, and he rarely even shook hands. But today Michael took the initiative to hug Hugo, and you can see the relaxation and comfort in his heart.

"I came to Staples on a special trip, and I arrived in Los Angeles at half past six in the evening, and when the plane arrives at half past eleven, I have to rush back to Bremen." Michael simply explained that at this time, Michael was on a world tour as much as Glory to Death, and Michael's "historical journey" was even grander than the scale of "Storm", lasting more than a year.

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, "Coming to the Grammys?" ”

It's so weird! Because Michael has never given the Grammys much face—to be precise, he hasn't given much face to most award ceremonies, he hasn't appeared on the Grammys stage since he appeared at the Grammys in 1988, and he still turned down the Grammys even after the huge success of his 1991 album "Dangerous"; In the past two years, because of that unjust case, Michael has lived in seclusion, and even the number of public appearances is only a handful.

Michael chuckled, and he could clearly feel that he was in a good mood, "Yes, the Grammys made a special trip." This confused Hugo, but before Hugo could continue to communicate, Michael greeted the members of the Glory to Death who followed him politely, and then said, "I have to work, we'll talk later." ”

"Is Michael on tonight's roster?" Pedro arrived at the latest, barely had time to say hello with Michael with a nod and staggered by, eager to ask his team-mate questions for answers.

However, no one could answer Pedro's question, and then the audience saw Michael in a flash.

The entire Staples Stadium was stunned, almost everyone did not expect this scene, Michael's appearance caught everyone on the scene by surprise, not to mention the audience sitting in front of the TV at this time, almost everyone was stunned for a moment.

As one of the greatest singers in the history of pop music, Michael's influence is simply impossible to describe in words, and it can be said that he almost single-handedly brought pop music to the top - before that, rock, folk, country, disco were clearly stronger.

After the ups and downs of the past two years, Michael's music career has not made a breakthrough, but its status in the eyes of the public has been improved again. Michael is now a living legend – just like Paul McCartney who appeared earlier tonight.

Tonight, not only is Michael on the Grammy stage again after eight years, but also Michael is on the stage of a TV show again after three years, and Michael is on the live stage for the first time in three years. Such a huge surprise, almost surpassing the Grammys themselves, caught people off guard.

After the stunned buffer ended, everyone at the scene stood up and gave Michael the supreme applause, and even the members who were glorious to death stood on the side stage and did not leave, and the staff vigorously encouraged their hands to express their inner respect for Michael in such a simple and direct way.

Michael, who was standing in the spotlight, seemed a little uncomfortable, and he took a small half step back with a little anxiety, but the applause that swarmed from all sides firmly surrounded him, calming down the confusion in his heart little by little. Michael turned his head sideways and saw Hugo standing on the side platform, the face hidden in the shadows made it difficult to see the expression, but the eyes that sparkled with vitality shone brightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was gently outlined.

Michael took a big step forward, walked to the microphone, and embraced the madness and heat in front of him, the warm light spilling down and enveloping him. The faces, figures, and expressions in front of him were blurred, turning into points of light in the halo, shining one after another, but setting off the sacredness and greatness of this stage.

Michael tried three times to silence the applause, but failed.

Michael's chest was filled with a myriad of mixed emotions, and he knew that this moment was won by him, and that society owed it to him; But Michael also knows that these guilt, these apologies, and these confessions have no real meaning, because the pain he has endured has left eternal wounds, and what is even more terrifying is that the media will not repent when they encounter similar situations in the future, but Michael doesn't care anymore, because he has learned to be strong, and a person once told him, "The future is always in your own hands, and only you have the right to choose." ”

So, Michael showed a shallow smile, faintly visible, and then stood in front of the microphone quietly enjoying the beauty and happiness of the moment, immersed in it with a clear conscience.

The applause lasted for three minutes, but after the noise there was silence, the audience was silent, even the itchy cough in the corner was clearly audible, and all the guests raised their chins to focus on the man standing in the center of the spotlight, quietly waiting for Michael to speak.

"Thank you...... Thank you. Michael didn't seem to know what to say, and finally muttered for a long time, but still didn't say anything more, "I haven't been in the spotlight for too long, and I'm a little uncomfortable with this situation, I hope I won't be too rude." Then Michael kept his emotions under his breath and smiled and joked, "I'm here tonight, I've been invited to present the Production of the Year award, obviously it's not going to be me, hopefully the next time I appear on this stage, I'll be the one who speaks out of the mouth of the award presenter." ”

The mystery has finally been revealed, and Michael has been specially invited to be the guest of honor for the Best Production of the Year award!

In an instant, all the reporters cheered up, although everyone clearly knew the hidden meaning behind this year's Grammys, but now it seems that the Grammys' calculations are far more ambitious than they imagined. Even Michael, who has been absent from the Grammys for eight years, was invited to present one of the four major awards in the overall category, which shows the importance that the Grammys attach to the award - Michael is not only the king of pop music, but also the record holder for the most Grammys in a single edition. Perhaps, tonight they will witness a miracle.

"I just looked at the list of nominees, and the songwriters who can be shortlisted for the best production of the year this year are obviously the top in the industry, and I don't know if I will have the honor to work with them on the next album." Michael chuckled and said, "So let's take a look at the list of nominees." ”

"Change the World", "Exhausted", "Because You Love Me", "Sailing" and "Blue" rounded out the final five, with three of them coinciding with the Best Single of the Year nominations, with Whitney Houston singing "Exhausted" and Lianne Remus replacing Maria and Oasis to occupy the other two spots.

Slightly different from the best single of the year, two of the five production of the year are pop, and the other three are each for rock, rhythm and blues, and country, which is very similar to the overall trend of the best new artist of the year, which is the trend across North America at the moment.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly Hugo, who created the "voyage". Over the past two years, Hugo has relied on Beautiful. Day)" and "Wonderwall" won the award for the second year in a row, making Hugo one of the top music creators in the United States on a par with Babyface - and this year it was Hugo who killed Babyface's dream of winning three consecutive non-classical producers of the year.

Since the Production of the Year award did not involve Maria and Oasis, all the talk of the award was focused on Hugo, and one of the biggest suspenses before the award ceremony was whether Hugo could achieve an incredible and unprecedented trifecta at the Production of the Year award.

"I saw some familiar old faces, and I saw some new faces, but I just didn't know who the envelope in my hand could bring good luck to." Michael still spoke unhurriedly, but by this time the audience had already felt that their throats were starting to catch fire, and the tension came over their faces

Under the watchful eye, Michael slowly opened the envelope, pulled out the card inside, looked down, and then a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, brilliant from the bottom of his heart, "The 39th Grammy, Best Production of the Year, the winner is ......" Michael looked at the audience, and finally cast his eyes to the side stage, "'Sailing', Hugo Lancaster!" ”
