Chapter 18: Shotai Takes the Throne (1)
In two days, the 31st Grammys will be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York!
GRAMMY is a mutated homonym of the English Gramophone (Gramophone), founded in 1957 by a group of musicians and record companies in Los Angeles, USA, is an institution representing the art and science of music production, in order to encourage talented musicians, singers and behind-the-scenes music production and production personnel to give awards, is the Grammy Music Awards. The first Grammy Awards began in 1958, and since then, ceremonies have been held every year in February and March.
Although the Grammy Awards are an award in the American recording industry, it has now become one of the most influential music awards in the Shijie range, and all Shijie musicians are proud to win a Grammy trophy in the form of a vintage gramophone.
The Grammys nominated for music works are albums released in the United States between October 1 of the previous year and September 30 of the following year as the scope of deletion, recommended by various record companies or self-recommended by artists, after nomination, review, shortlist, final selection and awards, the final selection of the Grammys music awards. The Grammy Awards are divided into 28 categories, and the Grammy Awards are different for each year, but there have always been 4 awards in the general category, namely Best Record of the Year, Best Album of the Year, Best Song of the Year and Best New Artist of the Year.
Jerry has always wondered that when "Conquer Paradise" was recorded, it was close to October, and the symphony had never been released in the United States at all, so would the Grammys really be interested in following the Tokyo Philharmonic's trip to Hong Kong? Joke! Later, Jerry learned that "Conquest of Heaven" would enter the Grammy Palace, and it was completely the conductor of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Tadaaki Odaka's own initiative! As an outstanding symphony conductor, Otaka Tadaaki naturally saw the artistic value of "Conquest of Heaven", so in the name of DreamMusic, he recommended this symphony that has not yet been released to the market! Then, there is the matter of nominations!
Radio City Music Hall in New York is one of Shijie's famous art halls, located in the Rockefeller Center on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, which is the premiere venue for many famous films, and has been a longed-for entertainment mecca for Americans since its inauguration on December 27, 1932. Of course, it is also the venue for the famous Grammy Awards and Tony Awards (stage plays) in the United States!
With 6,200 fuchsia velvet seats, the Concert Hall Theater is the largest indoor theater on Shijie. The auditorium is 160 feet from the back to the stage, with a ceiling height of 84 feet, and the walls and ceiling are framed by a series of streamlined arches, creating a radiant and large curvilinear space. The Grand Stage at Radio Music City is a massive vaulted stage that is 60 feet high and 100 feet wide. This stage is considered by Jishu experts to be the most perfect installation on Shijie. It consists of three partially hydraulically powered lifting devices. This allows for a lot of spectacular special effects to be realized, and a lot of dynamic effects can be created. A fourth lift can lift or lower the entire orchestra. Around the lifting device is a turntable, which allows for quick curtain changes and special stage effects.
I came here two days early, mainly because the DreamMusic guys were not only Grammy nominees, but also the 1988-1989 Grammy guests, so they had to get familiar with this unfamiliar stage to avoid problems on the night of the awards ceremony, which is broadcast live on CBS TV every year!
And for Jerry, in addition to being familiar with the stage, he must also be familiar with his partners!
Well, this partner is just too big!
Yes, you all know, King_Of_Pop, Michael. Jackson.
How to describe Jerry meeting Michael. How did Jackson feel? Surprise? Excited? Tremor? Well, there is not a single word on this shijie that can fully describe Jerry's feelings, he only knows that his mental age, which is already forty-one, grabbed the pen and the signature board and rushed towards Michael with a black super!
"Michael, Michael, I'm your super fan, the number one super fan in the universe, my name is Rock Lee, oh no, my name is Jerry, yes, Jerry, sign me! Yes, sign here, and here. If you don't mind, sign my name on this dress too! Just write to Michael's favorite fan, Jerry. Gold. Rothschel and Lee Locke! ”
Standing Michael. Elizabeth next to Jackson. Taylor, Hollywood's legendary Lady Girl, smiled and said, "Look, Michael, I bet this little guy may not be your youngest fan, but I can assure you, he's definitely the cutest fan!" With black hair and black eyes, what a beautiful and cute little guy! ”
Michael. Jackson grinned, but, except for happy laughter, except for meeting Jerry's autograph request, he didn't do anything, he didn't say anything, he was really like the rumors, he was a super master on the stage, but off the stage, he was a shy big boy!
Grab Michael. Jackson's signature, Jerry is really happy and a little crazy, for him who claims to be a fan of Tianzi No. 1, he can talk to Michael. Jackson said a word face to face and got his autograph, it was like a dream!
Well, now, it's a dream-like fact!
"Hi ~ Hello! Jerry! ”
Signed Michael. Jackson finally smiled and said the first words to Jerry!
"Hi ~ Hello! Michael! ”
Michael. Jackson: "Jerry, did you really write this song?" I don't mean anything else, I just want to say, this song, it's really good! ”
Jerry: "Yes, Michael, I wrote it!" ”
The little guy is really thick-skinned!
Jerry: "I wrote it for you!" Michael! However, because I don't know how to contact you, I have to try to perform it myself, Mr. Yida said, it feels good! ”
"Very good! Jerry, you have to have that faith! If it were up to me, I wouldn't have been able to achieve that effect. There are some things that come out of a child's mouth and are completely different from what an adult says! Also, your MV shot is also very good! ”
The MV of "Heal_The_World" is actually just composed of pencil sketches and crayon drawings, the realistic style and the children's crayon drawings complement each other, the cruelty of war, the children's bright and innocent smiles, the cold muzzle of the gun, and the helpless eyes lying in a pool of blood...... And so on, with a strong impactful contrast! When all the children raised their candles, prayed for Shijie peace, and raised their heads to gather into one earth, the whole song ended!
"Xiexie you, Michael! I'm so glad you can say that! ”
Well, that's all there is to it! He really doesn't have many words!
1988-1989 Grammys, Michael. Jackson was not nominated, and Jerry felt that it was a pity, because the most humanist "Man_In_The_Mirror" on the "Bad" album could actually win the best single of the year, maybe because the publicity was not in place, maybe because those white racists have put something on the table, and the ultimate reason, who knows!
This time, as a guest performer, Michael. In addition to "The_Way_You_Make_Me_Feel" and "Man_In_The_Mirror", Jackson will also work with Jerry to perform "Heal_The_World". Jackson made the choice himself after hearing this Grammy-nominated song!
