After the awards in the village category were awarded, two more categories were awarded.

During the interval between the two categories, Chen Qiming took the stage to perform a song "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark".

This song is the theme song of "Red Fan Zone", which has recently become very popular in North America.

The popularity of the movie not only made Jackie Chan set off a wave of kung fu craze in Europe and the United States, but also made the song "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" a popular song in North America during this time.

The song topped the radio charts on all continents of North America, and even topped the charts in some places.

Therefore, after inviting Chen Qiming to be a guest performer, the Grammy organizer made it easy for Chen Qiming to sing the song.

"Great song, it makes the blood boil! So, now for the next category of song awards......"

The host was on stage to lay the groundwork for the next award, while Chen Qiming returned to his seat.

After awarding two more categories, finally, Chen Qiming's shortlisted blues awards began.

It's just that Chen Qiming has some regrets that he still missed this award with him.

"How could it be! Amin's songs are obviously better......"

"The Grammys won't be shady!"

"Grass, what a broken award, Chen Qiming didn't win the award!"

The so-called fellow villagers saw their fellow countrymen, and their eyes were full of tears, although reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan very much hoped that there would be big news similar to Chen Qiming's expectation.

But as compatriots, they naturally hope that Chen Qiming will win the award.

Therefore, there was no Chen Qiming for two consecutive awards, which made reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan complain for Chen Qiming.

However, compared with the reporters who began to complain, Chen Qiming was a little happy.

As one of the singers promoted by the Grammys this year, Chen Qiming will inevitably win an award, which is the grapevine from the organizers.

And now, the first two awards have not been awarded, and the winner must be the best newcomer in the comprehensive category.

Chen Qiming had hoped to win this award.

So, at this time, he was relieved that he didn't win the blues category.

However, although he had a hunch that he would win the award, Chen Qiming did not dare to guarantee that he would really win the award.

No way, the 1994 Grammy for Best New Artist was definitely the fiercest year in years.

There are too many singers who have made their mark in the United States this year, and their achievements are too high.

His competitors are:

Ace Of Base, translated in Chinese as Ace Base Combination.

Originally from Sweden, the brother-sister duo also started growing in the United States last year, releasing the album Happy Nation in January 1994, which was also a huge success in the United States, with a total annual sales of 5.7 million copies worldwide.

Among them, the song "All That She Wants" on the album also won the first place on the Billboard, although it is often short, but it is enough to show the popularity of the band.

According to Chen Qiming's dream memory, this group will become a legendary Swedish group in the future, the most legendary group in Europe in the 90s.

Sheryl Crow, Chinese abbreviated as Xueer Jianluo.

Xueer Jianluo is definitely a representative singer who has become a late bloomer in the European and American music scene in recent years.

She worked as a teacher and worked in a recording shop.

Her first thirty years can hardly be described as obscure.

She auditioned to become a backup singer for Michael Jackson's "Bad" world tour, where she had the opportunity to sing during the warm-up stage.

What's more, her appearance has attracted a lot of attention, and some tabloid gossip news believes that she is Michael Jackson's secret lover.

Subsequently, he served as a concert backup warm-up singer for big-name singers for a long time.

It wasn't until 1993 that she released her first album.

The album was released under the title "Tuesday Night Music Club".

At this time, Sheryl Crow was already 31 years old, which was already a very late bloomer for a female singer.

The album's initial performance can only be described as Shang Ke and did not attract much attention, but the single "All I want to Do" soon became one of the best singles of the summer of 1994.

This song also made a rare effort when Chen Qiming was popular in Europe and the United States, and it became a popular song all over Europe and the United States.

Fueled by this super single, Sheryl Crow's first album has sold an astonishing six platinum or six million copies, which is about the same as Chan's figure.

In addition to the above strong competitors, the remaining two should not be underestimated.

Counting Crows Rock Combo.

This rock group is not like Chen Qiming and others, either they are popular singers in other regions, or they have debuted for many years but have not released an album and have a certain popularity base.

The Counting Crows rock group was an almost overnight success.

It is said that they used to be singers in underground night clubs in Europe and the United States.

It wasn't until 1993 that they released their first English album August & amp; Everything After》。

Since the release of this album, the total sales have reached 5 million copies.

In addition, there is also a band that will be very popular in the future in his dreams, which is also Chen Qiming's opponent.

(Green Day), Chinese people like to call them Green Day.

This American punk band that is well-known to Chinese people in their dreams, they also debuted very early, and they mixed in the American music scene as early as 1990.

Last year, their "Dookie" album sold a staggering seven million copies a year, setting off a punk boom in the United States.

Four hot newcomers, plus Chen Qiming.

The five can be called the most popular English song newcomers in 1994.

To be honest, in terms of sales and the ranking of the US Billboard, the five can almost be described as equal.

Judging by the accounts, almost no one has the ability to overpower the others.

Because of this, this year's Grammy Best Newcomer competition is particularly fierce.

As the awards come to an end, the most high-profile comprehensive awards are being awarded.

The first award is Best Newcomer.

The five representative songs of the hottest newcomers of 1994 all began to appear on the big screen in the form of MVs.

Chen Qiming's photographers appeared in front of the five of them, and the camera was pointed at them.

On stage, Donnie Blesson, who was the guest of honor for the Best Newcomer, began to take the stage.

Donnie Breston was last year's Rookie of the Year winner.

"This year's competition is fierce! Who do you think will win the award? ”

"I think it's Jian Luo, she's very hot in the summer!"

"No, I think it's Green Day, and their album sales have even won the second place on the album sales chart!"

"Counting Crows has a lot of hope! They're new people through and through. ”

"There is also a great possibility of the Ace base, this combination is very popular all over the world!"

"Guys, don't forget that Asian, in terms of global influence, he is the number one, last year's global annual sales leader, this honor is not for everyone.

And, I've heard that the Grammys are elevating their influence in Asia.

In this case, he is the one who is most likely to win the award. ”

"Indeed, that Asian should not be underestimated, several of his songs have been popular in North America, and the popularity is very high, although he has not won the first place on the Billboard, but in terms of popularity, he is not inferior to others."

The award was about to be awarded, and the guests and the media began to talk in a low voice.

"The winner of the 37th Best Newcomer in the Comprehensive Category is——"

On the stage, Donnie held the award envelope and glanced at the several finalists in the audience with a smile on her face.

The organizer is also very good at things, and when he saw Donnie pause, he immediately put the images of the five positions in the audience on the big screen.

Several people, including Chen Qiming, looked at the camera with a smile.

At this moment, all the finalists are nervous.

Including Chen Qiming, too.

But everyone is smart and knows how to be a gentleman in front of the camera, so no one shows any nervousness.

Donnie on the stage raised her eyebrows and smiled, ""That Girl", congratulations to Jamie Chen!" ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

As the winners were revealed, the audience burst into warm applause.

Some people may question why Chen Qiming won the award, but at this moment, Chen Qiming is undoubtedly the protagonist.

He stood up with a smile, hugged Mariah Carey next to him, and shook hands with Michael Jackson, who had gotten up to congratulate him, before walking quickly towards the stage.

"Boy, congratulations!"

Donnie joked, hugged Chen Qiming, and handed him the trophy in his hand.

"Thank you!"

Chen Qiming took the trophy and came to the microphone stand to look at the audience.

From his position, he could clearly see the rows of seats close to the stage.

At this time, these seats are all singers who have good influence in Europe, the United States, and even in the world.

"Thank you very much to the organizers for presenting this award to me.

Then, thanks to Warner Records, this trophy has half the credit for you, thank you......

To be honest, just because I'm the one who won the award doesn't mean I'm better than the other four finalists.

I've heard their songs, and they're really amazing.

Before I got this award, I thought I might not get it.

……”

Although he won the award, Chen Qi was obviously very modest.

After thanking the company and the production team for this EP, he gave a little compliment to the competition.

The faces of several finalists in the audience who were originally a little frustrated couldn't help but smile.

Just like before winning the award, Chen Qiming thought that the competitors were very strong.

Several of his competitors think the same way.

No way, from last year, the gap between the five is really not too big.

Therefore, almost all of the five shortlisted singers and bands have a chance to win awards.

In this case, perhaps before winning the award, everyone has a strong sense of expectation for the award, but after the real winner appears, they may have regrets, but they are still somewhat convinced by Chen Qiming's award.

Especially creative talent.

Three hit songs, plus the passionate theme song of the recent "Red Fan Zone".

This directly pushed Chen Qiming's creative ability to a climax.

At present, many media and fans are looking forward to Chen Qiming's next album.

I want to see if his terrifying creative ability can continue.

"Quick, call the newspaper!"

"Notify the company!"

"Hurry ......"

When Chen Qiming won the award, in the audience, reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan were very excited, and they began to call their newspapers to inform them of the situation on the Grammys.

"Hahaha! Opportunities are for those who are prepared, and we ate this news today! ”

In Hong Kong, Huang Jingwen, the editor-in-chief of the New Times Daily, couldn't help but laugh when he received a call from the Grammys.

Compared with other newspapers that wait for the news from the Grammys to come out before they start preparing drafts, Huang Jingwen is very smart.

Before that, he directly wrote four drafts in advance.

The four drafts were for Chen Qiming to win one of the blues, rural, and comprehensive categories, and he did not win an award.

And now, after the Grammys passed Chen Qiming to win the best newcomer, Huang Jingwen immediately took out the manuscript prepared in advance, and asked the newspaper to start printing in large quantities, and then immediately distributed the goods to the whole Hong Kong.

In comparison, other newspapers are much slower, and they need to rewrite the manuscript before distributing the goods.

Then, by the time they pounced on the goods, the new era had already sold a large number of newspapers.

Under the high-speed publicity and promotion of the New Times Daily, before two o'clock in the afternoon, the Grammy music awards in the United States have not ended, and Hong Kong is already full of news that Chen Qiming won the Grammy Best New Artist.

【China's first Grammy Trophy winner】

[Going international, recognition of heavyweight awards]

[1994 The strongest newcomer in Europe and the United States fell to Chen Qiming]

I have to say that Grammy pushed Chen Qiming and gave him the award, which was definitely a very correct choice.

After the news of Chen Qiming's award spread throughout Hong Kong and Taiwan, driven by Chen Qiming's fame, the Grammy Awards began to be officially known to fans in Asia.

Many people know that there is a very powerful music award in the United States called the Grammy, and Chen Qiming won the best newcomer in this award.

"Congratulations!"

"I'll just say you can!"

"Do it well, let those Yankees know that Chinese singers don't know how to sing English songs!"

In the afternoon, the Grammy Awards ended in a heated discussion.

As soon as the award ended, Chen Qiming received many congratulatory calls from friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Chen Qiming expressed his gratitude one by one.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon after the Grammys ended, the list of winners of this year's Grammy Awards ceremony was also reported by the American media for the first time.

Among them, the four major awards in the comprehensive category are definitely the most mentioned.

The general category is not a single field, but represents the most outstanding people in all fields of the entire music scene.

The winners of each edition are in the spotlight.

If Chen Qiming became famous in North America before.

Well, with the Grammy Best Newcomer won by him.

He has been completely promoted to the first-line ranks.

Countless North American fans who follow the Grammys will know his name Chen Qiming.

Among them, the most representative of Chen Qiming's fame to achieve stepwise growth is that within two hours after the end of the Grammys, several large group companies contacted Chen Qiming and asked him to sign endorsements.

Among them, there is KFC, one of the most famous junk food companies in the United States.

However, Chen Qiming did not agree to the endorsement now.

He has to go back to work on the record company now, and he has no time to delay in North America, so he can only refuse for the time being.
