Chapter 224 None of them fail
"There will always be a chance, don't rush at this time."
Zhang Yao said that he called to tell Zheng Xiaoyi the good news, and when Zheng Xiaoyi and Asuka Hoshino left for the United States, the news that the two of them were going to participate in the Grammy Awards had already spread in China.
Domestic fans seemed even more excited than the two of them, and held a celebration on the Internet, after all, those who could win awards before this were all Chinese, and Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao were both still citizens of the Celestial Empire and grew up in the Celestial Empire.
The carnival of fans is naturally indispensable to the hype of media reporters, and now that Zhang Yao has lifted the ban, the ban has long passed, and the report will be unscrupulous.
Not to mention ordinary media, even CCTV has also made a large report, if Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi win the award, this will also be a breakthrough for the Chinese people.
The economy has developed, and the Celestial Empire has been emphasizing the development of soft power over the years, that is, to export culture to the outside world, so that more people can understand the culture of the Celestial Empire.
"Seeing the current report and thinking about the previous treatment, it feels incredible."
Suddenly being paid such a high degree of attention and praise, Zhang Yao feels a little unaccustomed, should he say that he is cheap? Hoshino Asuka said, "You're cheap and good." β
On the evening of the 26th, the Grammys were held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, a place that many people should be familiar with, and the home court shared by the NBA teams Lakers and Clippers.
Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao are also contenders for their strengths, and they have to walk the red carpet, while Asuka Hoshino and Ai Xiaoqi can only attend as fan audiences. Christine is the same. Although she is a well-known actor. But it has nothing to do with music, and I wasn't invited, so I happened to be with Ai Xiaoqi and them.
Zheng Xiao also changed into a cheongsam-style dress, which was glamorous, she was still very strange to Americans, and she also murdered a lot of film with her appearance and temperament. Uh, it's the age of digital cameras......
Walking the red carpet and the Avenue of Stars are all learned from China and the United States, so there is not much difference from China. Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao also walked the red carpet hand in hand and accepted a short interview with the host.
"Zhang, this is your first time participating in the Grammys, can you tell everyone how you feel at this time?"
The content of the interview was nothing special, Zhang Yao smiled and said: "I am very happy to be affirmed by the organizing committee, and I am very excited to be able to participate in this award." β
Zheng Xiaoyi just released a single, which was originally not highly valued, but at this moment, walking with Zhang Yao, the eyes of the world are also focused on her.
It's almost the same problem as Zhang Yao. The answer was also the same set of words, and it was delayed for more than a minute. The two walked into the Staples Center, saying hello to people they didn't know along the way, and found their place.
The organizer must also know the relationship between Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi, or because they are both from the Celestial Empire, the position is also next to each other, and after doing it, Zheng Xiaoyi looked at her and smiled charmingly, and said: "Before, I never dared to think that I would come back to participate in the Grammy Awards one day. β
I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhang Yao felt that Zheng Xiaoyi was becoming more and more attractive, and after a trance, he didn't dare to look at Zheng Xiaoyi's gaze anymore, looked at the gorgeous stage and said: "Isn't there a saying, how high the heart is, how wide the stage is, this will not be the last time, I will talk more about it in the future." β
"Stupid, I'm saying it's because of you."
Zheng Xiao also hated it again, and at this time the ceremony had already begun, Zhang Yao said: "If you want to say thank you to me or something like that, it will break my heart, don't think about it, concentrate on watching the awards." β
"I remember you were a guest performer and brought an instrument, what is it?"
Zheng Xiaoyi still couldn't help asking, when he came, Zhang Yao asked Danny to prepare a musical instrument to bring over, but Zheng Xiao didn't see it, and he didn't know what the situation was.
"You'll find out later."
Zhang Yao sold Guanzi, and at this time, the host had already opened his mouth to announce the official start of the award ceremony, and Zheng Xiao did not ask questions, and it was not good to whisper at this time.
The award ceremony in the United States is not as serious as in China, the host dares to say anything about the gag, as long as it offends people, it doesn't matter, and the meat jokes come with no pressure.
Because there are many awards, the awards are carried out according to each major category, and the comprehensive category is left at the end, and the first award is soul music, that is, gospel music, and when you hear this word, you know that it has something to do with the church.
Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao are also not religious, and they don't understand this kind of music, they just watch it the same way, except for the different types, the awards are actually similar, the best soul music male and female singers, the best soul music group, the best soul music album and so on.
Soul music is followed by film and television media, children's music, and then to the more familiar country music, in the original time and space, Zhang Yao has a soft spot for Taylor Swift, but unfortunately there is no female singer in this time and space, otherwise it may not be possible to have some intersection with his achievements now.
These also didn't have anything to do with Zhang Yao, until it was time for the rock category, and finally had a chance to appear, Zhang Yao was shortlisted for three awards in this unit: Best Rock Album, Best Rock Male Singer and Best Rock Song.
"Last year, there was one person who brought us countless surprises, and he was Zhang Yao from the Celestial Empire."
The host said: "The next thing to award is the best rock album, although everyone already knows that there are those singers' albums shortlisted, but let's take a look at the shortlist. β
After the shortlist, the award presenters took the stage, inevitably playing treasures, and walked back from the backstage with awkward space steps, triggering bursts of laughter.
"I like Zhang's songs and dances, and I hope he can win awards, but unfortunately it's not up to me."
The award presenter was not afraid of offending people, and said: "Who will win the award, no one knows now, I can only say good luck to Zhang, let me reveal this mystery." β
"The winner of the best rock album was Zhang, Thriller."
The award presenter excitedly shouted Zhang Yao's name, this result is not surprising, the same is the same best rock male singer, the other shortlisted singers are not very competitive, and basically no one can compete with them.
"Thank you to the organizing committee for affirming me, and thank you again to the fans all over the world, you are the best."
When Zhang Yao took the stage to say these words, he already had three trophies to buy, the difference is that the best rock song is not "Thriller" but "BeatIt". At the same time, the record has been broken, and even if all the subsequent awards are lost, history has already been made.
The rock category was followed by jazz and then R&B, and Zhang Yao still had two nominations, Best R&B Male Singer and Best R&B Song, and also took the award back, but this time with the song "billiejean".
The ceremony is only halfway through, Zhang Yao has already won five trophies, as long as he is shortlisted, none of them will fail, the people at the scene are shocked and feel reasonable, and the people who watch the live broadcast in China have already been boiling.
And for Zhang Yao himself, the more awards he won, the more he admires Jackson, the style of the album "Thriller" is multi-elemental, and almost every element can win awards, and it is not okay to be unconvinced.
There are more than 40 performers at the awards ceremony, and there are wonderful performances after every few awards, which is an award ceremony and a music event.
Towards the end of the show, the awards in the comprehensive category began to be interspersed, and after the director's award, the legend award, the special award, etc., the best single of the year.
"The winner of the best single of the year is, Zheng from the same Celestial Empire, God is a girl, congratulations to Zheng."
At the moment when Zheng Xiao also won the award, the country was completely boiling, and the two came to participate in the Grammys at the same time, and they did not fail, this surprise on surprise.
"Thank you, thank you."
Zheng Xiaoyi couldn't hide the excitement in his heart after taking the stage, and said: "For everyone, I should still be very strange, I am very happy to be able to win this award, thank you to all my friends, and thank you Zhang Yao, without him, I would not be able to stand here." β
"Being recognized also gives me more confidence to take on challenges in the future, and I will strive to bring more good songs in the future. I love music, and in the same way, I love you too, Zhang Yao. β
"Uh, don't be so high-profile."
Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment, and then Zheng Xiaoyi in the stands, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, kissed the trophy, bowed and stepped off the stage, this sentence didn't seem to have any special meaning.
Even if it's really just because of excitement, this is definitely exciting enough, and you can detect it when you hear the cheers and applause at the scene, and now the reporter can easily write a front-page headline.
Zhang Yao couldn't understand that Zheng Xiaoyi was too excited, or had special intentions, and watched her walk back suspiciously, wondering if it was time to ask, the awards ceremony had entered the pop category, and he was shortlisted for the best pop male singer, and finally won the award again.
I don't know if it's excitement or something else, Zheng Xiaoyi's face is flushed with more and more mature breath, and when he saw Zhang Yao looking at him with wide eyes, he said angrily: "What do you see, why don't you hurry up and go on stage to receive the award." β
Noticing that everyone's eyes were already on him, he had to throw off his thoughts and go to the stage, take the trophy from the hands of the award presenters, and say a clichΓ© acceptance speech.
After that, Zhang Yao didn't have a chance to verify anything, because it was already time for him to perform on stage, so he hurriedly got off the stage and put the trophy on the seat, said hello to Zheng Xiaoyi, and then entered the backstage to prepare.
Before that, there was also a guest performing and two awards for Best Pop Album and Best Pop Duet, and there was not much time to prepare, mainly to adjust the mood. (To be continued......)
