Chapter 0438: Legendary Award
“…… Ms. He Xiaolan's departure is a loss for the Chinese music scene, as well as a loss for the world music industry. After the jury's vote, Ms. He Xiaolan was awarded the Global Gramophone Legend Award and inducted into the Universal Gramophone Hall of Fame. ”
"Although Ms. He Xiaolan is no longer here, we are honored to have her son, and now, we have invited Mr. Han Lan to the stage to receive the Universal Gramophone Legend Award trophy on behalf of Ms. He Xiaolan."
With the words of the award presenters, the cameras at the scene also turned their lenses to Han Lan again.
Han Lan also realized how his invitation came, originally thought it was because of Xia Ningxuan, but now it seems that it is not.
The Legend Award and the Hall of Fame are special awards at the Universal Gramophone Music Awards, which are not given every year, but are presented to musicians who believe that they have made outstanding contributions to the music industry and have a very strong impact.
"Han Lan, go up and receive the award." Xia Ningxuan saw that he was stunned, so she hurriedly reminded him.
The applause at the scene also rang out, and Han Lan took a deep breath and walked onto the podium with a smile.
"Your mother is very good, and I hope you can be like her." The award presenter was an old musician, and after awarding the trophy to Han Lan, he also smiled and hugged him.
"I will." Han Lan said with a smile.
The presenter patted him on the arm and walked off the stage with a smile, leaving the stage to him.
Although he only accepted the award on his behalf, Han Lan also had to give an acceptance speech. Foreigners seem to like this link very much, and basically every time they give an acceptance speech, they have to thank their company, family, and friends.
The host was originally worried that he would not be able to speak out so suddenly, and was about to help him find some topics, but he watched Han Lan talk to the audience with a pure British accent about the past of his mother He Xiaolan with great emotion, and what he said was called a tear.
With his words, He Xiaolan's image became more and more plump in the hearts of the audience.
In the past, He Xiaolan left them with the impression that she was basically a very talented and temperamental oriental female singer.
And now, she is a good mother who is tolerant, kind, kind, and loving.
In fact, Han Lan doesn't remember what happened to He Xiaolan at all, but Huaguo's mother actually has a unified template, so I think He Xiaolan is similar.
Anyway, the audience believed it anyway, and they all showed admiration, and some people were full of emotion.
"Sir, may I sing a song here dedicated to my mother?"
Han Lan said as she spoke, and suddenly asked the host next to her.
The host was stunned, but soon received instructions from the director in the headset, so he naturally smiled and nodded.
Now the emotions of the audience have been mobilized by him, and it is understandable for a son to sing a song to remember his mother, foreigners still care about their families very much, if the organizer refuses Han Lan's request, it will be a bit too ruthless.
Han Lan temporarily handed the trophy to the host to help hold it, then took the guitar he handed over, tried the sound briefly, and smiled confidently in the face of a group of foreigners in the audience: ""Listen to Mom" This is a song I sent last year, everyone here may not have heard it, I hope you can like it."
Naturally, the audience applauded.
Han Lan smiled, she has come here, it is impossible to leave after receiving the award so honestly.
He naturally guessed what the idea of awarding the Universal Gramophone Music Award to He Xiaolan Legendary Award was made, and the award of the Legend Award to He Xiaolan was actually similar to the ancient emperor's posthumous posthumous meritorious hero, and it was a good way to win people's hearts.
The outside world has been complaining that Universal Gramophone is unfair to Chinese singers, and no Chinese singer has ever won an award.
Then give a big prize now, the Legend Award and the Hall of Fame, which is much heavier than the best male and female singer of the year and the best song of the year!
Moreover, He Xiaolan is dead, and the role of the dead and the living cannot be compared. He Xiaolan won the Legend Award, which is not much help for the Chinese music scene, after all, it is impossible for her to represent the Chinese music scene to tour around the world to attract fans.
The Universal Gramophone Music Awards have always been about art, but in the final analysis, they are all about business, and at most they are just finding a balance between business and art.
Singers who win music awards will have a significant increase in fame and popularity, followed by an increase in album sales and value.
In order to ensure that their own artists can win awards, a large proportion of the judges of the music awards are from major record companies and entertainment companies, and the so-called fairness is actually fairness between several major companies.
And do these companies want the Chinese music scene to get better? Of course not!
The worse the better!
In this way, their singers will be more excellent in China!
But since they gave Han Lan a chance, Han Lan would definitely not let it go.
Originally, they were just accompanying Xia Ningxuan to accompany them, but since they wanted to take advantage of Han Lan's cheap mother to make a fuss, how could Han Lan let them use a trophy to send it away?
If you don't rub a wave of traffic, I'm sorry for his title of the first traffic in China!
"Kids, do you have a lot of question marks?
Why, someone else is reading comics there
I was learning to draw and talking to the piano
……”
The familiar songs were sung in the live broadcast room, and a group of fans in the domestic live broadcast room didn't bother to quarrel with the water army anymore, so they neatly brushed up the expressions of the support stick one by one, and called for Han Lan's support in the air.
Most of the foreign audience at the scene couldn't understand Mandarin, but they couldn't help but shake their heads slightly to the rhythm of his music.
Han Lan glanced at the audience's reaction, and after the first chorus, she suddenly improvised the English version.
His foreign language has always been very good, and coupled with the continuous recovery of his musical level over the past year or so, it is not difficult for him to improvise a foreign language version.
But the audience immediately felt it.
Originally, the melody of this song was not bad, but now that I understand the lyrics, I naturally feel something, and the whole song seems to have suddenly sublimated. Now let them go back to listen to the original Chinese version, and it will still be very feeling.
Moreover, Han Lan is currently posted on foreign music platforms, only in Chinese.
In other words, if they want to listen to this song after tonight, they can only listen to the Chinese version.
After the last time "The Fox" became popular, he was actually trying to promote his other songs by taking advantage of the popularity of this song, but the effect was not ideal. Although foreigners clicked on his personal page because of "The Fox", they all looked like Chinese songs, and even if there was a translation, many people did not choose to play them.
Foreigners and Chinese people are different in this regard, many Chinese people may be interested in English songs when they see them, even if they don't understand them, it doesn't matter. There are even people who only listen to English songs for the sake of so-called fashion trends, and they have to be played out for the people around them to hear.
But under normal circumstances, foreigners will not choose foreign language songs that they don't understand. It's one thing to not understand the lyrics, and it's one thing to be unfamiliar with the music style and level.
It's like most Chinese people don't like the third brother's songs, and occasionally listen to them as jokes.
If you want foreigners to take the initiative to listen to Chinese songs, unless, Chinese songs have also become a trend.
