Chapter 155: Grammy
In recent years, the ratings of the Grammy Awards have been declining, and they have been hit by the Billboard and MTV Awards Ceremony, although it is firmly one of the four major awards ceremonies in the literary and artistic industry, but in order to stop the decline, the Recording Association moved the awards ceremony back to Los Angeles, and invited a large number of Hollywood stars.
After getting out of the car, Ryan walked the red carpet alone.
This kind of place is always a place where celebrities gather and gossip and fly around, between actresses who are showy and gorgeous, often a casual look will be interpreted by people to interpret countless meanings, and if someone faces each other coldly, it will murder the film with a roll.
Reporters have set up long guns and short cannons early, and they will not let go of any action of any star, and some crazy paparazzi can't wait to step forward and take off the little fabric on those sexy actresses, so that they don't have to worry about tomorrow's headlines.
For more than a year, Ryan has been the center of attention whenever he steps on the red carpet, but that wasn't the case tonight.
The fans on both sides of the red carpet were shouting feverishly, but they were not cheering for him, and the cameras in the hands of reporters lit up half the sky, but they did not flicker for him.
Looking at the person in front of him, Ryan could only sigh to himself that he was unlucky, who let himself walk behind him, who let this be the singer's home Grammy.
The person in front of him was dressed in white and black pants, his long messy hair was scattered over his shoulders, and every time his thin body made any move, it would always attract countless cheers and fanaticism, and there were two women beside him, a black and white match was extremely rare.
Female white man he knows, the famous Brooke? Silk, a black woman, is a bit unfamiliar. But can stand Michael? Jackson's side, and Brooke's? A person who gets along with Silk. Should it be his sister Jenny? Jackson is up.
The other party is the super king of pop music, which may be an exaggeration before the ancients. But there are always some facts that can be reflected, as for whether there is a comer in the back, anyway, when Ryan is reborn, no singer of any sex can surpass him.
It's normal for him to be in the limelight, isn't it? Ryan smiled indifferently and just looked at Michael? Jackson and Brooke? Xiao Si's eyes were a little curious.
The intricacies of the relationship between these two people have made many people smack, maybe there is really a confidant in this world?
Well, none of this is your own business. Ryan also enjoys purity. It wasn't until he was almost at the end of the red carpet that the reporter cast an interested eye, but he hurried a few steps and walked into the hall in front of him.
"Did something happen, Ryan?" Send? Kinsley was waiting for him near the doorway.
"It's nothing, I don't want to give those reporters a chance to ask questions, so I went a little faster." Ryan said casually.
Compared to the film industry, Ryan is much stranger to the pop music industry, among the famous singers of this era. There are very few people he can name.
"Hi, Ryan."
"Hello, Miss Houston, I haven't seen you in a long time. You're pretty again, I heard you're going to do the opening show tonight? β
The person who came was one of the singers that Ryan didn't know much, Whitney? Houston.
"Yes. "I Will Always Love You". β
This song missed the Grammys in '92 because of the timing of its release. But let Whitney? Houston was the opening guest performer of this year's edition.
Looking at the other party's white-clothed Shengxue, Ryan chatted with her again. Walked straight into the theater.
The spacious theater was buzzing at this time, and the stars were also people, and they would also make small talk with the people around them, and walk all the way to their seats, and Ryan also found a few acquaintances, such as Maria? Kelly, this flower butterfly is talking to her fiancΓ©.
And David? Finch, although he has been upgraded to a film director and even has his own team, sometimes he will shoot a few MVs due to favors.
After greeting these people and exchanging a few words with the president of Sony Records, Ryan sat down in his seat.
Except for the pie sitting around? Kingsley, Ryan looked at the strangers, he had no intention of befriending the singer, just chatting with Heatley in a low voice, waiting for the awards ceremony to begin.
"Ryan, listen to Nicole, you acquired a game studio?" Kingsley was curious.
"Sort of, but the project was inspected by Scott, and the acquisition was also handled by him." Ryan shrugged.
"Are you going to enter the gaming industry?"
"Come on, Pat, do you think I know the game?"
Isn't it? Insley thinks back that since she met Ryan, he's been busy almost every day, occasionally relaxing with Nicole or Natalie, and never really seeing him play video games.
"It's only two million dollars, and if that game studio has no future, it can just be sold."
"Well, if Nicole uses guardianship to restrict your account at that time, I won't intercede for you."
"Maybe that studio is going to make me a billionaire." Ryan raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, it's going to begin." β
As the lights went out row by row, the buzzing disappeared in an instant, and the entire theater became extremely quiet.
In a burst of soothing music, white cylindrical crystal curtains receded towards both sides of the stage. Dressed in a silver-white fishtail tuxedo, Houston stood on a high platform in the center, singing the prelude to "I Will Love You Forever" in the convergence of several rows of spotlights.
The band's accompaniment sounded, and Ryan's brow furrowed, Whitney? Houston made a little change in her singing voice, probably wanting to perform the live version better, but unfortunately after only a few words, there were two bursts, and her singing voice obviously regressed a lot.
Especially when it comes to the penetrating singing of the high scale, the sound seems to lose the magic of the movie, Whitney? Houston seems to have noticed that he was not in good shape, and the next singing became decent.
Very bad opening performance, Ryan can only sigh so much, after all, the other party's life style is not a secret in the circle, and it has only been a year since he reached his peak, and he is in a hurry to fall?
If the private life of an entertainment star is chaotic, then the black star is definitely the best among them, and in many ways, he will end up like this in his previous life, and in many ways, he is only to blame.
Shaking his head, Ryan threw that to the back of his mind and focused on the stage.
Unlike the Oscars, there are so many Grammy awards, even if Ryan is an insider, he is still a little confused, but I have heard that there seem to be more than 100 awards in 28 categories.
The awards show has dragged on for too long, so it's no wonder that ratings have been declining. After returning from the bathroom, Ryan felt quite bored, if he didn't get anything this time, it means that the recording association didn't like him very well as a guy who played crossover, so he simply didn't participate in it in the future.
"So the rumors are true?" Just Jenny? When Jackson appeared on stage, Kingsley muttered.
"What rumors?" Ryan asked curiously.
"It is said that the Grammys will award Michael? Jackson Contemporary Legend Award. Kingsley looked to the front row.
"Oh......"
Ryan nodded, didn't say anything more, and focused his energy on the stage a little.
"Before he won twelve Grammy Awards, before he counted down hundreds of millions of fans for his brilliant dance, before he worked tirelessly to save hundreds of millions of lives, before all of that, he had another role, he ...... It's my brother. β
"Hello everyone, I'm Jenny? Jackson. I am honored to be here today to present an award to a person whom I love and admire, both as an artist and as a person. He's my brother, Michael? Jackson. β
After a long and tedious introduction, Jenny? Jackson stepped aside, and in her commentary, the big screen began to look back at Michael? Jackson's glorious past.
The Super Bowl halftime show, the open-air concert in Bucharest, etc., all appeared in the picture, and even after the broadcast, the highlights were played from back to front.
"Now, I'm honored to present the 1993 Grammy Award for Contemporary Legends to my brother, Michael? Jackson ......"
Jenny? Jackson made a gesture of please on stage, Michael? Jackson got up and walked to the stage, and the stars and audience members, including Ryan, stood up and sent him onto the stage with applause.
Even if many people are reluctant, they can only respond with warm applause at this moment.
Not a gramophone, it was an unusual crystal trophy, looking at the author of the acceptance speech of Michael? Jackson, Ryan is a little emotional, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to get such a trophy in his life.
"I love you guys!"
This phrase appears several times in Michael? In Jackson's acceptance speech, while he was speaking, the camera frequently captured Brooke? With Si's lens, it's clear that those photographers understand what it takes to attract the viewer's attention.
After talking about his childhood and the problems of the world, as well as his determination to help others, he followed a long list of thanks.
"Thank you to my company, Sony Records, and thank you Akio Morita......"
Ryan keenly captured the words, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, wondering how he would feel in a few years when Sony Records toyed with the king on stage between applause.
Is the Grammy Legendary Michael? One of Jackson's peaks, but after the peak, it means the beginning of the downhill road.
Because of the bizarre death in his previous life, Ryan checked his information more or less, and the other party will soon be in trouble and unable to extricate himself from the quagmire of scandal.
Michael? Is Jackson's child molestation case true or false? Ryan didn't know that public opinion was never in the hands of blacks.
And manslaughter? Even when he was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he felt that this reason was really fake, and it was like those five big red letters. (To be continued......)
