Chapter 289: Adequate Preparation
The Billboard Music Awards, though not to be a big music show like the Grammys.
But as a popular vane in the European and American music scene, its musical influence in the world is also undoubted.
In addition, the organizers have a lot of money, so the venue of the entire award ceremony is very luxurious.
In the afternoon, after Gu Cheng and the others finished styling, Alya's brothers and sisters brought to the scene.
Compared to the cold reception received at the AMA.
The treatment they received at the Billboard Awards this time was nothing short of different.
Except for the particularly arrogant top-notch, ordinary singers will enthusiastically come forward to talk when they see Gu Cheng.
was so enthusiastic that Su Qi couldn't believe it.
"The last time I went to the AMA was transparent, why are there so many singers greeting us now?"
"Arya, are we so popular in Europe and the United States?"
Arya nodded, "It's been a lot of popularity lately!" β
"Because it only took you a month to enter the Billboard rankings strongly, and you have been shortlisted for many Billboard awards as a dark horse, and you have become the favorite to win the Billboard award this year."
"So now you are in a state where everyone knows and everyone knows about the European and American music scene."
"Many singers want to have a good relationship with you, and it's best to get a half-song song here in Gu Cheng."
Su Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, our Chinese ancestor is right!" β
"Only if you are strong enough, others will take you in their eyes and regard you as an opponent!"
Gu Chengqing, "This society itself is realistic and cruel!" β
Standing at the top, how many people look up to you; If you fall to the bottom, there will be as many people as you belittle you; Interests attract, how many people follow you; When the benefits are gone, as many people abandon you.
How many people look up to him now.
Secretly, there are so many hands that want to pull him off the altar!
One day, Gu Cheng fell from the peak.
Then he was greeted by all kinds of falling stones!
β¦β¦
Because the host of this year's awards ceremony happens to be their friend Michael.
So Gu Cheng and they went directly to his dressing room.
Seeing them, Michael happily gave Gu Cheng a punch.
"Gu Cheng, my good brother! You're finally here! β
"Your song "Dedication" on MAMA, that dolphin sound is really good!"
Gu Cheng shook hands with him, "It's okay!" β
"Congratulations on becoming the host of this year's BBMA!"
"Thank you!"
Michael looked sideways at Su Qi, and his face was suddenly full of amazement.
"Oh! Oh, God! I didn't pay attention just now, Su Qi, why have you become beautiful again! β
"You look like a princess out of a fairy tale!"
Su Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you!" You're handsome too! β
Michael wasn't exaggerating this time.
Su Qi is indeed walking in the style of a fairy tale princess today, and the whole person is well-behaved and beautiful!
Michael looked at Gu Cheng enviously, and pretended to be jealous: "Gu Cheng, you are really so happy to find such a beautiful girlfriend!" β
"Why don't you introduce me to one too, how about a Huaxia girlfriend?"
"Introducing a girlfriend?"
Gu Cheng unceremoniously pierced him.
"Michael, do you watch the news when we don't watch?"
"A few days ago, the media also revealed that you hugged ~ kissed with a Victoria's Secret supermodel, and now you are pretending to be single here?"
Su Qi chuckled: "I saw it too, and my body is very exciting!" β
"Those are all plays, not worth mentioning!"
Michael looked at Su Qi's playful smiling face, and immediately changed the topic of acquaintance.
"By the way, Gu Cheng, the stage you want has been set up, I'll take you to try it later."
"And those two of your songs, they're so good! When I heard it that day, I was so moved that I cried! β
"How did you come up with two songs with very different styles?"
What else could Gu Cheng say?
He is tired of answering similar questions!
can only casually talk nonsense and prevaricate with an excuse.
"Inspiration came suddenly, and it came naturally!"
"Are these two songs from your next album?"
"My album is currently undecided."
Gu Cheng added: "However, Su Qi's next album is indeed going to develop into country music. β
"The song "Love Sto
Y" is one of the title songs on the next country album! β
"So tonight's rehearsal and interview session, please arrange it!"
"If it works well, then I'll tailor another song for your new album!"
Michael's eyes lit up.
Last time, Gu Cheng helped him write a song, which was really suitable for him.
If there is another one, then his new album will be stable!
Immediately pat your chest and vouch.
"No problem, wrap it up on me!"
"I promise that after the interview, I will send you to the hot search!"
"Let's go! I'm going to take you to the stage right now......"
Under Michael's arrangement.
The rehearsal that night, as well as the 15-second clip of the two singing, as well as the interview session, successfully became a hot search on YouTube.
"This is a dress rehearsal? Su Qi, this is also so beautiful! β
"Damn! The interaction between the navel orange couple is so sweet! β
"Who do you look down on? 15 seconds is enough for anyone to listen! β
"Will Gu Cheng soar high notes on the spot? Rub hands in anticipation! β
"Visually, there are two more phenomenal hits!"
"It's only 15 seconds, but the song is so good!"
"Will the two of you sing on the same stage?"
"Looking forward to a new song for two! It's a pity that I can't grab a ticket! β
"This pair is going to the rhythm of the billboard bombing field again!"
β¦β¦
Gu Cheng, this time, they really came to blow up the field.
Therefore, they all sang classic English songs with a wide audience and high popularity.
What Gu Cheng prepared for Su Qi was Mildew's famous song "Love Sto".
yγγ
As the landscape of the global economy changes, so does pop music.
With the expansion of the influence of pop music in the United States, country music has gradually integrated into the mainstream ranks of pop music, forming many branches.
Mountain music is the earliest country music, and its main characteristics are simple tunes, smooth rhythms, and a strong local flavor.
There is also a type of country rock, also known as mountain rock.
This is a kind of country music, a kind of fusion country music created by the influence of rock music.
After the commercialization of the branch of pop country music, pop sounds spread all over the world, and many excellent singers and groups appeared.
For example, Taylor, a country diva who single-handedly changed the music charging model. Swift.
γlove sto
y" is the special "Fea" of Mildew 09
Less", which was certified as a five-times platinum single by the American Recording Industry Association, making Mei Mei the female singer with the best-selling digital single in the United States that year.
This song and MV made many people know mildew for the first time, and it became a pit song with a lot of mildew fans.
The mildew who just debuted is still very green, with a bubble noodle head, and his face is full of childishness.
She once said that listening to her albums was like reading her journal.
Therefore, the songs of moldy and mildew are highly autobiographical.
γlove sto
The song "Y" is inspired by Shakespeare's famous tragedy "Romeo and Juliet", and is actually combined with Mildew's own life.
It tells the story of a pair of lovers who can't get together because of family conflicts and their parents' opposition, but they don't succumb to the arrangement of fate, and they move their parents to live a happy life with sincere love.
Instead of borrowing the tragic ending of Shakespeare's martyrdom, Mildew rewrote a new happy ending by himself, making the whole story more touching.
This song uses some expressions of country music, and simply and peacefully depicts a picture of the slightest throbbing of first love, which is closely integrated with Shakespeare's tragic Romeo and Juliet, and is more likely to touch people's hearts.
It's not just the songs that are good.
The stage design is also a must!
Last time, the two of them "rubbed their noses and killed" became unforgettable for the navel orange couple, and they also created a god-level singing scene.
This time, Gu Cheng had more fun!
He combined various god-level scenes where Mildew sang this song in the past, upgraded and designed a high-burning shot of a wedding dress and a crown proposal!
It is bound to make the atmosphere of the audience explode!
And after the sweet storm.
What the audience is about to usher in is a question from life!
Because Gu Cheng wants to challenge MJ's "Song of the Earth" on the night of the award ceremony!
In the era of the Internet in the last century, MJ has become popular all over the world, and so far his songs, costumes, music videos, and dance steps have been imitated and paid tribute to by countless people, but they have never been surpassed!
Gu Cheng didn't want to deify a person casually.
But MJ has left us a legend!
In addition to being a pop king, MJ is also a philanthropist and humanitarian.
He donated to 39 charities in his lifetime, personally donated more than $600 million, and was named "the world's most individual donor by the artist" by Guinness.
Many of the songs MJ wrote throughout his life were anti-war, anti-discrimination, public welfare, and a call for human beings to protect nature.
γEa
th so
g" is called "Song of the Earth" in Chinese, which is one of MJ's "public welfare trilogy".
The song was written in 1995, when the world war was constantly polluting, and MJ wrote the lyrics, composition, arrangement and production of "Song of the Earth" himself.
In the MV of this song, the originally beautiful earth is destroyed, and there is destruction, war, and corpses everywhere.
From the beginning of the questioning in the film, to the roar in the wind and the prayers of human beings, it deeply shook everyone's hearts and aroused strong resonance from everyone, and everyone burst into tears.
As long as you've listened to EA
th So
g", no one who has seen this MV has not been moved.
Invariably!
The day in Hoh Xil.
When Gu Cheng heard the story of the Tibetan antelope, he had already decided to sing this song "Ea" on the stage of BBMA
th So
gγγ
This is because the Tibetan antelope is listed as an endangered species and is given the highest level of legal protection, and commercial trade is not allowed.
But in reality the market for Shatoosh still exists.
According to the estimation of the number of Tibetan antelope wool processed by Ah San, at least more than 20,000 Tibetan antelope are hunted and harvested every year.
Europe, especially country F, has always been the core exporter of luxury goods, and it is also the largest market for Tibetan antelope products.
Although Europe has signed relevant treaties with China to boycott and crack down on the sale of Tibetan antelope products, it is not protecting Tibetan antelopes, but protecting the interests of its own fur industry in disguise.
What made Gu Cheng's heart ache even more was that.
The phenomenon of the Tibetan antelope is not unique.
Because Tibetan antelope products are not irreplaceable luxury goods such as ivory and rhinoceros horn.
All of the five extant rhinoceros species are endangered, with the Javan rhinoceros having the smallest number of fewer than 50 and the black rhinoceros only about 10,000 to 30,000.
These rhinos inhabiting Asia and Africa face the destruction of their native habitats, the threat of rhino horn buyers in East Asia, and hunting and sightseeing tourists from Europe and the United States.
With the exception of rhinos, all pangolins face a significant threat to their survival, with the Chinese pangolin and the Malayan pangolin being assessed as "critically endangered" by the IUCN, and illegal smuggling is rampant.
Poaching of these animals is even more difficult to prevent, as they can be quickly escaped by stealthily selecting a target and then cutting off their teeth, horns or fur.
Not only animals, but also all kinds of environmental pollution!
The no-man's land of Hoh Xil has been encroached upon by garbage, nuclear wastewater has been discharged into the sea for irrigation, and forests have been cut down and burnedγ......
Of all the thousands of species on Earth, humans are just one of them.
What are we all doing when the love of nature comes upon each of us?
The earth is weeping!
And the true salvation of this world.
It lies in the awakening of humanity itself, its immediate action and its unremitting efforts.
Gu Cheng's strength was very small.
He can only call on the public to raise awareness of the protection of our planet in music.
In a word.
Gu Cheng and Su Qi are ready to explode the audience and meet the storm......
