Chapter 887: Scarlet Grammy
On February 28, the money-grabbing couple landed at their faithful sacred auditorium in Los Angeles, and the Grammys were about to begin.
In this theater alone, the two have won awards over the years, because the Soul Train Music Awards, which are only awarded to black artists, are the most popular here.
"It's too slow, I've never seen such strict security."
Song Ya complained in the stretched Lincoln that was moving like a snail.
"Because IE was nominated at the same time, right? They're all here today. ”
Mariah Carey's manager, Newman, who is also the first time to be in charge of this year's awards season for Sony Columbia Records, laughed: "Poppa went head-to-head at Best Rap Performance, AgainsttheWorld was shortlisted for Best Rap Album, and Biggie, Snoop Dogg, and DeadandGone, with you, was shortlisted for Best Duo or Group Rap Performance. Even the number of nominations is the same...... The organizers are really watching the excitement and not a big deal. ”
He performed perfectly at the AMA and other small awards, and the couple were satisfied.
"According to the current mainstream public opinion atmosphere, it is difficult for them to win the award, and they should only be able to run together. The only chance is that Biggie can use your energy to crush 2PAC on the West Coast. The award for Best Duo or Group Rap Performance is the weakest, DeadandGone is a song in honor of Lori Jr., and the content of the song is self-reflection and anti-violence, which are all favorable elements for the award. ”
Hayden slaps the boss's ass.
"Hehe, it's possible that I'm being dragged down by Biggie...... This is the home of 2PAC. Song Ya herself passed the stage of caring about the wins and losses of a single award, "In short, we are all here with Mimi today, six nominations, if she wins all of them, she can lead the DIVA honor competition in the 90s with an absolute advantage." ”
Mariah Carey pouted when she heard this, of course she attached great importance to the finale of the Daydream album awards season, and prepared seven sets of clothes in one go, all of which were high-end evening wear customized for her by various well-known designers, a set of red carpet walks, a set of opening tracks, and she would also wear this set to receive the first small award, and then one set for each of the other five awards. These evening outfits have been specially designed to match the curves of her now bulging abdomen.
And Song Ya herself did not have a performance task, only prepared two sets, one for the red carpet and one for receiving the award.
"I've done my best to get through PR this year." Her agent, Sandy Glenn, asked, "APLUS, WHERE ARE YOU?" ”
"Of course, I smashed all the means and friendships at one time."
According to the previous agreement, the two will find an opportunity to announce their divorce after today, and Song Ya will not have any reservations at this time, the American music magazine and the small gifts that come with it will be mailed to the jury group early, and the exchange of interests and all the friends in the circle can ask for it, "Don't worry, remember the year EmpireStateOfMind was nominated?" Even Motura has no confidence, and it wasn't up to me that won the general prize for Mimi. ”
He met Mariah Carey's gaze, "I even made a tacit agreement with BABYFACE privately not to compete with him for Non-Classical Producer of the Year, and to win the award for you tonight." ”
"Hmph...... Thanks. In exchange for a proud but serious thanks.
"Can you hear movement now?" Song Ya lowered her head and pressed her ear to her stomach.
"Hate, don't make trouble now!" She immediately slapped the man on the head and beat Song Ya to scream, because the ring of the big diamond ring was very hard and painful.
"What about yourself?" Sandy Glenn asked.
"The probability of the best duo or group rap performance award is half and half of it, and winning the best film and television instrumental album is considered to be a complete task." Song Ya and her rolled their eyes at each other and shrugged nonchalantly.
"Then we'll be right to focus our eyes on Miss Kelly tonight." Newman laughed.
While talking about this, the car finally stopped in front of the red carpet.
"Let's go out and shine the world, Mimi." Song Ya crossed her arms and smiled at her.
"Humph......"
Hand in hand, intimate snuggling, just so that the man's Patek Philippe watch and the woman's large diamond ring are placed in the center of the 'lens', the car door is opened, the outside flash and the shouts of reporters and fans are released like waves, the two are the only focus of all the spotlights, their faces and gorgeous clothes, bright lips and cold diamonds are reflected dazzlingly.
Hurry up, we're in a hurry to take the money and leave
As fast as a Lamborghini
Jump off the stage and enjoy it with the audience
I can't believe we've done that, just look at where we've come to be
We are grateful
We couldn't believe it
We've really climbed to the top of our careers
Hey! Hey! The diamond is cold, Patek Philippe comes to a piece, and the private jet will send it away......
"Tonight is our show."
It seems that another song has been apocalypse, a good omen, Song Ya stood still and waved, whispering and smiling.
"Dodge a little, don't block the old lady's camera." She was half a step ahead, proud like a Grammy queen.
'Miss Kelly, look over here! How do you feel about this year's Grammy Six nominations? There are two general items, and the other four are not small prizes. ’
'Tell me, what's the due date?' ’
'The diamond ring is so beautiful, is it the token that you quietly determined your feelings at the beginning? ’
‘APLUS! I heard that you sold some of your Netscape shares, do you regret it now? ’
'Is it okay to talk about IE?' The king of Chicago rap hasn't officially tasted the East and West Coasts yet, has he? ’
'Look this way, Maria! You're so beautiful today! ’
‘APLUS! I love you! ’
The two who are popular enough sometimes hug each other to pose, and sometimes accept interviews separately, and after dealing with reporters and fans with ease, they slowly walk to the outfield interview corner in front, like a leisurely stroll.
"Be careful, the producer for this year's ceremony is Quincy Jones." Song Ya stole the space to remind her.
"Hehe, you have a lot of enemies in the record industry......"
"Ours."
"Yours, yours soon."
Her expression made Song Ya's face stiffen, "Okay, let's not talk about this yet." ”
The two were greeted by the microphone-wielding hosts, "Welcome, welcome Mariah Carey, APLUS, how are you feeling today?" "Good start, safety issues.
"Ahh......h
"APLUS, you, Biggie and Snoop Dogg were shortlisted for the award this year with DeadAndGone, which of them do you prefer?" It's time to stir things up.
"Uh......"
It's a bit of a hard question to answer, a bad boy record that belongs to the East Coast, a death row prisoner record that belongs to the West Coast, and there must be more difficult questions to follow. Snoopy Dogg didn't come today, but Biggie did, but it didn't seem to walk the red carpet, "I like them all, I respect them, I ...... when I met dogs"
"Hey! You're there too! At this time, the most popular rhythm and blues boy group, the Boyz IIman quartet, suddenly appeared from behind, and they hugged the two affectionately, laughing and screaming.
"Welcome, and welcome to BoyzIIman!" It's a bit messy, and the host Gu is not too good.
Mariah Carey playfully winked at herself, and Song Ya realized that she had been prepared for the little danger at this moment, "Hmph, the woman who doesn't have the right mouth." ”
Yes! Yes! Kuroko, be careful, I'm a person with a background
I don't care about fame
There is a special plane to travel, wear King Alexander
Bichi, be careful
I'm not a messy woman
"Huh? Alexander...... King? Where did a fashion designer with the same name as me but surnamed Wang pop up? ”
Song Yazheng was suspicious of the apocalypse song in his head, "Together?" I'm going to get ready with Boyz IIman, singing the opening act. She asked in her ear.
"Uh, okay." The six of them made their way backstage, and she needed to change out of her red carpet outfit and wear another outfit from the Grammy's opening show, and by the way, she had a final rehearsal with Boyz IIman.
"Help me."
In the dressing room, Song Ya helped her tighten the ties behind her evening dress, female assistants and costumes and stylists bit sewing needles in their mouths, and four or five people nervously surrounded her.
She's up her glass, and this set of color-blocked low-cut couture evenings focused on setting off the mountains is a little too tight now.
"It's not going to strangle the little baby, is it?" Song Ya asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I've asked the doctor, let it go, you don't need it here." When he ran out of tools, he ordered the eviction.
"Okay, try to breathe." Song Ya waited for her to say a few words and felt that there was no problem, before returning to her front seat at the award ceremony.
I don't know why he was a little uncertain, until he made eye contact with Shirley Fleming, the editor-in-chief of America's music magazine, and raised his chin with Biggie's group in the distance, and then looked around for Dre, BABYFACE, and other powerful allies. I have more enemies in the record industry than in the film industry, but I have more control, hehe......
At the end of the meeting, Newman was seated on the right, and the seat on the left was empty, reserved for Mariah Carey, her enemies...... Except for Mary Bligy, it seems that Quincy Jones is the producer of the entire awards show, and he should be very busy this time and will not appear offstage.
Other award-winning guests around...... It's not very familiar anymore, the evolution of music trends is very fast, and the back waves push the front waves.
"Ladies and gentlemen! BoyzIIman! Mariah Carey! OneSweetDay! ”
The lights are getting dim, the opening performance comes quickly, and she is more mature and charming, and she is performing very well, and her voice is in very good condition recently, BoyzIIman is a little bit of a lag, and OneSweetDay's difficult choral songs are not easy to sing well.
The first nomination is related to himself, and it is also the award he hopes to get guaranteed, the cat-and-mouse game soundtrack, and the best film and television instrumental album.
"The winner is: Hans Zimmer! Red tide! ”
Well? Who ran the ticket? The award was considered a solid one, as it was an award in the field of classical music that Shirley Fleming and her Amerika music magazine specialized in, and Hans Zimmer's performance in the Red Tide soundtrack was not very impressive.
Song Ya gave a congratulatory smile and applause and then stretched her neck to find someone, Shirley Fleming was also surprised, she shook her head slightly to express helplessness.
"Ahh Mariah Carey, who had arrived from backstage, sat down next to her, "What's going on?" ”
"It's not surprising to lose to Hans Zimmer, isn't it true that the cat-and-mouse game soundtrack also failed at the Golden Globes?" Newman comforted the two, "It's early, don't worry. ”
followed by Song Ya's award, the best duo or group rap performance award, the camera slowly zoomed in, and I believe there was a photographer in charge of Biggie's side.
Divide the cake? Okay, uh, the acceptance speech for this award is in the inner pocket, and Song Ya holds the armrests of the seat with both hands.
"The winners are: MethodMan and Mary Brig!"
Damn, Biggie, an iconic figure on the East and West Coast, is still unlikely to win the award after all, forget it, now the public opinion is very unfavorable to him and 2PAC, and it is really not good to be on the podium with him.
In this case, the opportunity is gone, and the non-classical producer award has already made an exchange of interests with BABYFACE, and his Grammy is destined to be zero as soon as he comes up.
"It's up to you." said helplessly to the beautiful woman next to him.
"Don't be too frustrated." She chuckled.
"Hmmm......"
In the middle 2PAC and four singers in fancy costumes appeared on stage as award presenters, and even on this occasion, he narcissistically boasted about himself as usual, using rhyming rap to say that the men who participated in the Grammys were wearing the same formal dresses one by one, and he wanted to be different or something, but the typhoon was indeed very stable and had a superstar fan.
But unfortunately, the lyrics are so unpositive that since Biggie can't win the award, you certainly won't be able to win it.
This time, he finally judged correctly, and he and Biggie were nominated for the same rap single award, and they were quickly sniped out by Gangsta'sio, and the rap album of the year will not be available.
"Best Rhythm & Blues Female Vocal Performance...... And the winner is: Anita Baker! ”
"It's a pity." She smiled sincerely, she didn't get this award, which means that the chances of important awards later, especially the general award, are greater.
"Yes, Shiro has prepared a set of clothes." Song Ya also took the opportunity to tease her.
"I'm going to change it, this dress for the opening of the song is really a bit too scathing." If she didn't win the award, she changed her clothes, and when the TLC group on stage started the two-song joint performance, she ran back to the backstage.
This time, I changed into an all-white low-cut evening dress, and I went up to the cup, of course, according to her character, I want to show off, this set is more 'temperament', and I have this very fairy white ribbon around my neck.
"Best Pop Vocal Collaboration...... Don't TheChieftains and VanIToldYouLately! ”
Ahh......h The top five nominations in the husband and wife group were all yellow.
"Who ran the ticket......" Song Ya began to mumble again, stretching his neck to find someone, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and everyone's eyes responded calmly, "M-Fxxk......"
"Don't s......wear," she whispered, "It's okay, it's okay to take both of them." ”
"If you take two general items, there will be a lot of pressure on public opinion." Newman laughed.
"Best Female Pop Singer of the Year!"
It's a big prize," it won't be: Annie Lennox! Congratulations! ”
Song Ya took a deep breath and leaned back a bit, "Laugh, applaud, APLUS." Newman reminded from the side.
"Oh." The two squeezed out a smile and applauded.
"Best Pop Album of the Year, winner: JoniulentIndigo!"
"LAUGH, CLAP, APLUS, MISS KELLY."
Now Song Ya can still squeeze out a smile, her emotions are a little uncontrollable, and there are still four sets of dresses backstage that have not been shown! "What do you mean? The Grammys invited us in, and then one by one, they bled and executed, and made us ugly? Is it like they did with MJ back then? APLUS, YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING, ARE YOU!? ”
"How so!? I'm angry right now, okay? ”
"Don't argue, don't argue, pay attention to the camera." Newman kept persuading: "There are two more general items left, don't let the national audience see your negative emotions." ”
"That damn photographer just stared at us!" Song Ya smiled, put her hands in front of her mouth and slapped her face, cursing in a low voice.
This year's awards ceremony was so difficult that it finally came to the final four major categories, "Record of the Year, and the winner is: KissfromaRose!" Singer Seal, producer Trevor Horn! ”
Song Ya was so angry that a little blood appeared in front of him, maybe his eyeballs were bloodshot, he didn't care about the camera with a cold face, and Mariah Carey didn't intend to congratulate her opponent hypocritically, and when she was about to be hit in the face by the camera, she raised her hand and slapped her face twice.
This general award is their opening performance of OneSweetDay, and the Grammelians come over and don't give the prize? Song Ya saw that the BoyzIIman foursome over there were also full of disbelief, and Sean Stockman, the reddest and worst-tempered among them, was clearly spitting 'WTF' swear words.
"Nominated for Album of the Year: Mariah Carey, Daydreaming!"
For the last award, the photographer came back in a circle, and Mariah Carey lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and she couldn't even squeeze out the smile of joy that she was nominated.
It's useless to think about anything, it's not the Grammy's style to give awards at this time, they have always done things perfectly.
The two have been in the circle for a long time, and they both understand.
"This is nothing short of a conspiracy, a deliberate murder, no, a massacre!" Newman wailed.
TelltheGrammy'sfxxkthat0for8shxt!
"The winner is: Alanis Morissette, album jaggedlittlepill!"
