On the afternoon of February 23, 2003, outside Madison Square Garden, the long red carpet stretched from the entrance to a distance of dozens of feet, and reporters on either side of the barricade were holding all kinds of long guns and short cannons, eyeing everyone who stepped on or was about to step on the red carpet. Because, the 45th Grammy Awards is about to be held in the most prestigious place in New York, and as a music award on a par with the Oscars, it would be strange that it did not receive this level of attention.

"Hell, Maria? Kelly had just gone in. ”

"What about Madonna? Is she here today? ”

"Hey, look over there, Britney? Spears! ”

The voices of the reporters continued to sound, they tried every means to find their prey, trying to dig out the news they wanted from each other, because it was their duty and their right!

"Hey, is that lucky boy here?" When a big name entered the square garden, there were not many weighty characters in the follow-up, and the scene fell into a brief silence, someone suddenly asked.

"Which lucky boy?" Someone hasn't reacted yet.

"Which one else, that Sean, of course? Don up. Someone took over the conversation, "As a high-profile rookie actor, he ran to release a song, but it was still very popular, and Zuihou was nominated for a Grammy, and he was really lucky." ”

"Otherwise, how could you call him Lucky Boy." Someone laughed and followed, and at the same time caused a lot of laughter.

"Doesn't this guy have some background, right?" Someone asked, "Or catch up with some big guy and be praised or something." ”

"You mean David? Does Geffen have a crush on him? Someone immediately asked, causing another burst of laughter.

"Okay, don't mention the kid who is good for nothing but luck, his luck has run out, and the Grammy trophy is not something that can be obtained casually." Someone said that, apparently, this is someone who doesn't like Sean.

"Hey, that's hard to say, the Recording Academy has never liked to play cards by the cards." Someone immediately retorted.

"That's not his turn!" Immediately there was a catch, and it resonated with many people, and it is true that no one thought that Sean would win a Grammy award from beginning to end.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front, and the reporters looked at it and began to dig out the guys after seeing it clearly, because the person they were talking about just now had appeared on the red carpet.

"Mr. Tang, do you think you can win an award?"

"Mr. Tang, what kind of mood are you in to the Grammys today?"

"Mr. Tang, what would you think if you didn't get anything today?"

The reporters asked nonsense, even the previous sarcasm on him was no exception, of course, the intentions of these questions were very sinister.

However, Sean didn't seem to take it to heart, and he always had a smile on his face, but he didn't answer these things directly, just said: "In a few hours, the results will naturally come out, so why rush." ”

As for more questions, he either messed around with haha, or moved on to something else with a few words, and then quickly walked into the square garden. In short, it seems to be cooperative, but in fact it is extremely uncooperative.

"This guy, as slippery as a loach, has asked so many questions and none of the answers are wanted." Looking at his back, someone complained.

"Don't worry, if you want, you can wait here for a few more hours and get a picture of his face when he comes out." There are also people who don't care.

"I'm sure it must be pretty." Others followed.

No matter how noisy they were, it didn't affect Sean at this moment, and he was feeling a little complacent when he walked into Madison Garden Plaza. The place where countless competitions, concerts, and rallies, one of New York's most famous buildings, has not been there before, but this is the first time he has come as a nominee.

"Hey, Sean." Someone shouted at him, and Galen, Saunders, Frederick, and Neil, who had come in through the other entrances, were already waiting for him in the front room.

"How does it feel, what's the difference between the Grammys' red carpet and the Oscars?" The agent asked with a grin.

"If anything, it's the attitude of journalists, who seem to want me to announce on the spot that I'm going to win all the nominations, or I'm not going to get anything, I'm just here for sightseeing." Sean shrugged.

"It looks completely different from the Sacred Auditorium and the Kodak Theater." Galen said after looking around.

It's true that Madison Square Garden is smaller than the Sacred Auditorium and Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, and even if it's not really small, since New York is one of the fashion capitals, Square Garden naturally surpasses the Great Hall and the theater in this regard. Looking at the surrounding decorations, the complex but not scattered picture brought out by the simple lines, combined with those Grammy promotional posters, gives people a very high-end feeling.

"Let's go inside, let's not stay here." Neil then interjected.

"That's right, let's go in first, Neil can't wait to try what it's like to sit in front." Sanders immediately echoed playfully.

"It's not even the first three rows." Neil rolled his eyes, but his eager expression couldn't hide from a few people who had grown up together.

"It's okay, Neil, you'll be at the front one day." Sean Haha smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then led the way inside.

The Grammys, like the Oscars, are always reserved for big names and nominees, and the rest, unless they have a lot of status, are a little further back. Although Neil has been on the East Coast for four years, he has also come to the Square Garden to watch the game, but not to mention sitting in the front, there is no position at the front, although this has nothing to do with his lack of effort, but after all, it is a pity, and now he can rely on Sean to sit in the second place next to the front row, naturally he is a little excited.

There were already quite a few people in the hall at this time, and after separating from Galen, Saunders, and Neil, Sean sat in his place, along with Frederick.

"It's really not comparable to the Great Hall." Looking at the slightly smaller T-shaped stage, Sean said to his agent, "Although there is a lot of space inside, doesn't the Weishenme Recording Academy arrange the stage to be larger?" ”

"Who knows," Frederick shrugged, "the Recording Academy is known for its penchant for playing tricks of the unexpected, and there must be a reason why they do so." ”

"Don't worry, Sean, when you sing on it, even if you accidentally break the sound, there will be no boos." ”

Sean immediately rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to him anymore and looked around, as the most prestigious music awards ceremony in North America, it is reasonable to invite singers to sing on stage, and Sean's "YouRaiseMeUp" can be regarded as spreading all over North America and even all shijie, so it is naturally within the scope of the invitation.

However, what is embarrassing is that he has already sung this song at last year's Oscars, but because it is a song released in October 01, it is not within the scope of the Grammys at the beginning of 02, so it can only be moved to this year. This inevitably gives the impression that the Grammys are inferior to the Oscars, and although there is not much competition between the two awards, that doesn't stop people from thinking in that direction, and many people also think that Sean will not win because of this.

To be honest, it's impossible not to be nervous, the Grammys are not Oscars, there are many professional musicians here, and it would be embarrassing to really sing the wrong or broken notes. But there is no shortage of excitement that should be there, and it is impossible for many singers to want to sing at the Grammys, let alone a non-professional singer like him.

Sean knew that there must be people who wanted to see jokes, and he knew that his singing level could only be considered average, but that didn't mean he couldn't sing, and the song wasn't completely popular in post-production. Since receiving the notice that he is going to go on stage, he has made a series of targeted contacts, just like singing at the Oscars, plus this song is not difficult, as long as he goes up and sings at his usual level, it is a success.

One after another, the hall was about to fill up, and the first few rows were all big names in the music industry, Maria? Kelly, Celine? Dion, Billy? Joel, Bruce? Springsteen, and the new generation of Britney? Spears, Christina? Aquilena, Justin? Timberlake and so on.

Speaking of which, the latter three are all from Disney's early 90s, the Mickey Mouse Club, and Sean has a certain understanding of the music industry because of the release of songs. I have to say that Disney is very good at creating idols, and there are many distribution channels, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with them.

Of course, the relationship between these three people is also interesting, it is said that Britney broke up with Timberlake last year, it is possible that Timberlake split Christina, and of course, there are also rumors that Britney split her legs online. However, Sean remembers that in the years after being dumped by Timberlake, Britney almost collapsed, and negative news emerged one after another, even if Zuihou finally recovered, neither her figure nor her career could go back to the beginning.

However, Christina and Timberlake also don't seem to be able to make it, at least this year there is news that the latter is working with Cameron? Diaz dating, what a mess. In terms of careers, Christina and Britney are also in various-for-tat, the latter is currently incomparable to the former in popularity and popularity, but the former is far behind the latter in the Grammys.

These two women have officially released records in 99, Christina has surpassed Britney in both nominations and awards, to be exact, Britney has not had a Grammy so far, and the most promising newcomer award was also lost to Christina, which is really interesting.

Why don't you take advantage of the moment to have some in-depth communication with them? Sean suddenly had such a thought, but then shook his head with a smile, sure enough, it is easy to change his nature.

At this moment, Frederick's voice rang in his ears: "See that girl, that's your biggest opponent at this Grammy." ”
