Chapter 410: Alms and Forcing the Grammys to Add Awards
"Hehe, everyone came quickly, how are you all?"
At the door of the heavily guarded studio, Brother Chic saw these emotional reporters, and roughly swept over, among them, there were actually a few foreign reporters, and the total number was probably no less than 3 or 40 people! There are at least a dozen media outlets.
So he smiled and waved to them, and greeted them very friendly.
In fact, he had already been mentally prepared for these reporters coming in a hurry, after all, he watched the live broadcast of a foreign TV station last night.
……
Zhang Ziyi attended the Oscars Gala, even if it was purely soy sauce, but the domestic media still reported fiercely as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, that is because the Academy Awards are indeed the eternal peak in the hearts of Chinese filmmakers.
In the eyes of the Chinese people, as long as any Chinese filmmaker gets on the podium of the Academy Awards, then this filmmaker will definitely become a superstar in everyone's eyes, just like a national hero, such as Li Yu and Tan Don.
And even if he doesn't get the trophy, as long as he can appear at the Oscars, then this star will still be noticed by the domestic media and ordinary people, because what does this mean?
This obviously shows that the star is indeed popular internationally, otherwise, you are not qualified to walk on the red carpet of the Academy Awards!
Whether this is an excessive desire for expression caused by inferiority, we will not mention it first, but it can be seen from this that if a Chinese star can be invited, shortlisted or even awarded at the best awards ceremonies in the world, especially in the United States, then. This star is sure to attract a lot of attention.
It's obvious. The Grammys are indeed one of the biggest awards in the American entertainment industry. Therefore, Brother Chic also got the kind of treatment that Zhang Ziyi received two years ago.
Thanks to the blessing that Hong Kong is a free port, Brother Chic watched the shortlist of the 49th Grammy Awards announced by CBS TV last night, and there are many people like him, especially fans and reporters from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
The announcement of the finalists is not an award, so this list does not take precedence as the awards ceremony, but directly announces the biggest awards at the beginning. That is, the best album of the year in the comprehensive category, eh, this one doesn't have a chic brother's share, and then the best single of the year, this one still doesn't.
Then there's the production of the year, which seems even more unlikely.
There is no comprehensive award, and those who pay attention to Brother Chic can accept it and understand it, because this award is the largest and most influential music awards ceremony in the English-speaking country of the United States after all!
Not to mention that Tang Xiaosheng sold 4000W pieces in the world, even if he sold 100 million pieces. You won't be able to win a Grammy in the overall category, unless you sell a few diamonds locally in the United States. In that case, the Grammys are under pressure to make it to the general category.
What people didn't expect was that Tang Xiaoshi still didn't have any nominations for awards in the pop department, such as Best Pop Male Singer, Best Pop Instrumental Performance Single, Best Pop Instrumental Album, etc.
At that moment, the dashing brother in front of the TV squinted his eyes and puffed out his cheeks, Li Minghao and Gao Yan were also disappointed and leaned on the sofa, not even wanting to say more.
At the same time, some of those who followed the live broadcast of the shortlist announcement were also disappointed, and some of them simply turned off the TV because they felt that it was impossible for someone to turn over, and this time the Grammys did not need to pay attention.
Eh, this thing is like the World Cup, there is no World Cup for the Chinese team, no matter how good it is, huh? There's no sense of substitution at all!
Nima, since there is no nomination for the comprehensive category and the popular category, it is obvious that Brother Chic is even less likely to be shortlisted for other categories!
That is, he completely lost his chance.
However, just when many people were disappointed and ready to go to bed, even Gao Yan and Li Minghao opened their mouths to comfort someone, the host on TV read out the English "China Tang", and it corresponded to BestNewArtist.
At that moment, Brother Xiao just exhaled slightly, and the corners of his mouth quietly curled, not knowing whether he was ridiculing or what he was doing.
But Li Minghao and Gao Yan were stunned for a moment, looked at each other in disbelief, and then couldn't help jumping up, hugging each other as if they were crazy.
At that time, they were like seeing the Chinese football team enter the World Cup finals, and they immediately burst into enthusiasm in the room, shouting: "Great, great, the best newcomer is at least a very heavy award!" ”
Yes, Best Newcomer does count as an award, because there is no distinction between music departments, whether you are a jazz, country singer or pop singer, all newcomers can only compete for this one best newcomer.
It can be said that this is actually a comprehensive award, an award that countless European and American musicians want to win.
After being excited, Gao Yan suddenly saw that someone didn't say a word, didn't even smile, just put his feet on the glass coffee table, hugged his arms and continued to watch TV, which made him puzzled.
"Chic, you don't seem to be very happy, don't you?" Gao Yan asked tentatively.
"Is there anything to be happy about?"
Brother Chic glanced at him, still looking at the various shortlists that continued to be announced on TV.
Gao Yan and Li Minghao looked at each other, and then both of them sat on the sofa, hesitated for a while, or Gao Yan spoke first: "Actually, it's also good to be nominated for the best newcomer, you see, the other finalists above are all American singers, and you are the only one who is Asian, I think it's really amazing!" ”
"Yes, yes, idol boss, you're already very good!"
Li Minghao also persuaded him: "This best newcomer is almost equal to the best newcomer in the world, you can be so strong that Lao Mei awards this award to Chinese singers that they don't understand at all, I think you are already extremely powerful!" It's much more powerful than the so-called Jay Chou, Zhang Xueyou or something! ”
", don't pat me on the back!"
Comforted by the singing and harmony of these two people, Brother Chic immediately couldn't help laughing, twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed: "Look at it, if I'm not mistaken, this best newcomer must be mine!" ”
"That's a good thing!" Li Minghao and Gao Yan spoke in unison.
Nonsense, you can definitely win the award, that's naturally a good thing.
Brother Chic shook his head and said: "This is just a means for the Grammy Organizing Committee to maintain its authority, after all, my record sales are too amazing, definitely the most sold and fastest singer since entering the 21st century, and it has also appeared in many large global media in a row, so that the Grammy Organizing Committee has to give a little sweetness, otherwise, it will make many people doubt whether it is really fair and just!" ”
After a pause, Brother Chic emphatically said: "At least Asian music fans will definitely be suspicious, especially our fans in the Chinese music scene!" ”
Nima, if even Tang Xiaosheng, a super singer who has sold nearly 40 million genuine copies worldwide and 700,000 copies in the United States (Xinsuo announced and available on the American Billboard), can't get a golden gramophone (Grammy trophy), then the Grammy thing doesn't need to fantasize anymore, because it is completely the plundering territory of European and American singers.
That's right, in the eyes of the dashing brother, even if the American Recording Academy is not happy, they will award this gramophone symbolizing the best newcomer to themselves, which is called maintaining its authority.
So naturally, he had nothing to be happy about.
Because this is equivalent to handouts, there is no such thing as competition and accidents at all.
"Isn't it?"
Gao Yan and the others screamed in disbelief, but after thinking about it carefully, they had to admit that someone's analysis did seem to be very reasonable, because he didn't enter the nomination for the comprehensive award at all, and he didn't even have a nomination in the pop department, which really seemed to directly exclude him.
So, the excitement of the two dissipated as quickly as the waves of the ebbing tide, sighing and frowning at the TV.
Then, just when all three of them decided that there was no need to read any more, just as the shortlist was about to end, the name Chinese Tang reappeared, this time in the corresponding Best-Asian-Record.
"Damn, why is there such an award?"
Brother Xiaoxiao, Gao Yan and Li Minghao were all stunned, and their eyes widened in disbelief, because the information they had read showed that there had never been such an award in dozens of awards ceremonies before, and there was not even such an award that was limited to the Asian music scene alone.
In fact, just when countless people were exclaiming this award, the host who announced the list of nominees also screamed, as if he was taken aback, and then immediately joked: "I don't know if the appearance of this award means that the organizing committee is going to add a permanent award, but I know that this award is likely to be taken away by China Tang, because I have never heard of other Asian singers except him." ”
Well, actually, the other three finalists are: Jay Chou (Taiwan), Ayumi Hamasaki (Japan), and Jeong Ji-hoon (South Korea).
Subsequently, the shortlist ended, and Brother Xiao and Gao Yan also went to rest, and neither of them had much excitement!
However, Li Minghao, the assistant, was very energetic, couldn't sleep at all, and was very excited to sit on the chair and play with the computer.
How is it possible that the combination of two consecutive awards (which journalists and fans consider to be the award), the only Asian pop singer to be nominated for Best New Artist, and the person who forced the Grammy organizing committee to add the Best Asian Record Award?
And there is no doubt that the growing number of reporters outside the set at this time, they were all attracted by the Grammy shortlist that started at 11 o'clock last night. (To be continued......)
