Chapter 710 The Eve of the Awards
In addition to the already fixed concert schedule, the upcoming awards ceremony can be said to be the most important schedule in Jiang Yuan's schedule for the first half of the year.

The Grammy Award is the most important professional music judging award on Blue Star.

If the IMA will consider the global market response to some extent, then the Grammy Music Awards will not look at this aspect of performance at all, and will be judged purely based on the quality and completion of the music.

It’s not uncommon for niche music to unexpectedly win awards.

The number of awards Jiang Yuan was shortlisted for this time was only one less than the nominations announced by IMA.

With five nominations, he ranks among the singers with the highest number of nominations.

Not to mention whether he can win the award, this nomination alone is already a high degree of affirmation.

When the nominations were just announced, many articles and news were written by marketing accounts and gained a lot of popularity.

It's just that at that time, in discussions abroad, people mostly associated Jiang Yuan with Omega's identity, and felt that the work was indeed worthy of being shortlisted.

The popularity of winning the award is generally not that high, but today everyone's opinions are completely different.

From the past, I just thought Jiang Yuan was worthy of being nominated, then after Jiang Yuan won the IMA award, I felt that there was a possibility of winning, and the popularity of recent albums and tours has continued to rise.

Jiang Yuan has become a strong candidate for the award. Not only music critics have made high predictions, but there are also high voices on the Internet.

[To be honest, if you look at the popularity and novelty of the awards shortlisted this year, then I think it is undoubtedly "The Ordinary Life". 】

[On the contrary, I hope to see Jiang Yuan win an award. In comparison, many singers’ albums look terrible. 】

[You must know that since the release of this album, all singles in the album are in the top 100 charts. 】

[I don’t know what the jury of this year’s Grammy Awards thinks. 】

[I didn’t expect that everyone was very optimistic about Jiang winning the award. 】

-

Jiang Yuan's name is also mentioned repeatedly under the search topic of the upcoming Grammy Awards ceremony.

Whether it wins or not is another matter, but at least it has become a popular candidate for the award now, and the corresponding status quo has also aroused the same heated discussion after it was moved to China.

However, compared to the exaggerated title of the marketing account, which is a bit like a flattering title, fans are very cautious and calm.

It is gratifying to be nominated and the music critics are optimistic about it, but fans are obviously not carried away. When celebrating, they usually add a sentence saying that it is great to be nominated, saying that they will not be poisonous.

After all, if even fans borrow money and brag about it, they will still be easily laughed at if they don't win the prize.

"We know that people on the Internet now think that you have a high possibility of winning the Grammy Award. What do you think about this? Will there be a lot of pressure?"

During the interview, Jiang Yuan happened to mention this issue.

Although he has been touring all the time, Jiang Yuan has no shortage of fashion resources, such as magazine cover shoots.

Basically, it maintains the frequency of one issue per month. It is in good condition and the photographers are good at taking pictures. The final effect is that the sales of each magazine are very high, and it is also firmly in the sales volume among domestic entertainment male artists. No. 1 ranking.

So every month, the magazine's photography team flies to Jiang Yuan's city to conduct exclusive interviews and shoots.

In the latest issue of the magazine, more questions were asked about the Grammy Awards.

The main reason is that when the magazine is released, it happens to be the time when the Grammy Awards are settled.

By then, whether Jiang Yuan wins the award or not, this interview should be quite popular.

From this perspective, Jiang Yuan was indeed asked a lot about his views and attitudes about the Grammy Awards.

Hearing this question, Jiang Yuan also nodded. He surfed the magazine very quickly and paid attention to the hot searches and discussions that had just appeared.

"I think I should thank everyone for their love. Everyone will have different opinions based on their own preferences."

"Seeing that the voice is so high, first I am flattered, and then I feel a little happy. After all, everyone thinks highly of you. If you are not happy, it must be hypocritical."

"But whether you win or not in the end depends on the opinion of the judging panel. I'm not too nervous about this result for now, but it won't be certain on the day of the award ceremony." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said thoughtfully.

"Do you think you have a high chance of winning? Or are you confident that you can win?" the editor in charge of the interview continued to ask.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Editor Ye Wenwen was stunned by the smile for a moment, and then asked, "What does laughter mean?"

"Even I am not on the jury, so I don't know what they think."

"But if you ask about confidence, I think everyone should have it." Jiang Yuan said truthfully.

Jiang Yuan's true inner thoughts are that the quality of the album "The Ordinary Life" is undoubtedly worthy of the award.

However, there are still many factors that influence whether you can win the award. It is difficult for anyone to draw conclusions before the real results are released.

"Did you receive an invitation to perform at the awards ceremony this time?" Ye Wenwen continued to ask according to the news prepared in advance.

"This does exist." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said.

By the time the interview went online, the Grammy Awards ceremony had also ended.

So there is no risk of spoilers.

"Can you tell us what kind of performance it will be?" Ye Wenwen asked curiously.

"It's still hard to tell the specific content of the performance, but by the time the magazine is released, everyone should have seen it and will naturally know what kind of performance it is."

"But I can give you some spoilers now. It will be a relatively new stage." Jiang Yuan paused for a few seconds before answering.

"Then I'm looking forward to it and will pay attention to the live broadcast of the awards ceremony." Ye Wenwen also said with a smile.

Then the question continued, "As for the performance, we also know that you recently used the relatively rare one-take method of live recording at your concert. How did you come up with this idea?"

"Actually, it was just to record the program "Yuanyouhui" at the beginning." Jiang Yuan elaborated on the whole process of deciding to record.

A considerable part of the content is clips that have not appeared in the show.

After all, the time of the main film is limited, and Li Xiaoyue cannot spare a large amount of the main film time just to explain why this recording method is adopted.

Listening to Jiang Yuan's narration, Ye Wenwen learned about the behind-the-scenes story of this recording for the first time, and listened with great interest.

"So, is this year's plan still focused on touring? Are there any new plans in film, television, or other aspects that I can tell you about?"

A series of questions brought the interview to almost an end. The last question is a fixed question that Jiang Yuan will be asked every time he is interviewed.

The magazine interviews in the past few months basically ended with this question.

It's just that Jiang Yuan's answer is basically the same every time. He shakes his head and tells the other party that he has no plans for the time being. If he does, he will announce it as soon as possible.

This is one of the reasons why this question has become a regular part of the interview.

Originally, Ye Wenwen just asked this question as usual, and did not expect to get any different answers.

But what was unexpected was that she saw Jiang Yuan nodding at this time, which made Ye Wenwen's eyes suddenly widen at this time, and light seemed to burst out for a moment.

Before Jiang Yuan could answer, he was startled by the other party's performance.

Then he regained his composure and thought about it for a moment before answering the question, "There is indeed good news that I can announce to everyone."

In fact, Jiang Yuan spoke at this time just to use the interview for publicity.

But for Jiang Yuan and the magazine, it is obviously a win-win situation.

Ye Wenwen and others also wished that Jiang Yuan could promote more in this kind of session, so that the interview would be popular.

"It's like this, our studio is preparing an animated film." Jiang Yuan started.

As someone who knows Jiang Yuan well, Ye Wenwen blurted out the title of the movie "Your Name" when she heard this.

After the other party called out the name of the movie, Jiang Yuan nodded, and then shook his head.

"It is indeed a film that was being prepared at the same time as "Your Name", but there were many twists and turns, so the production of the film was not completed until this time."

Jiang Yuan explained, and then spoke while Ye Wenwen had an expression on her face that said, "Hurry up and advertise."

"The name of the movie is "The Return of the Great Sage". Different from the previous one, this is a completely Chinese-style animation. You should be able to hear this from the movie title."

"Then, the movie will be officially released in the summer. It will be a great movie. You can look forward to it."

Given this opportunity, Jiang Yuan was not stingy and started advertising in front of the camera.

"Including, in a few days, before this issue of the magazine is published, everyone should be able to see the first trailer of the movie." Jiang Yuan finally revealed.

The interview came to an end in this way, which made Ye Wenwen, who was responsible for asking questions, exclaim that it was a pity.

If you want to know that there is such an important material in the end, you will have to ask some more questions based on this theme.

Unfortunately, the interview time had already arrived, so Jiang Yuan did not continue to answer and ended the interview.

However, after the interview, Ye Wenwen curiously asked about the background of the story of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Jiang Yuan thought about it and gave the other party a rough description of what was to be released in the first wave of trailers.

The magazine shooting schedule was relatively easy for Jiang Yuan. The most troublesome part was even the change of clothes.

Other things like the cover shoot and the interview went smoothly and didn't take too long.

As the magazine schedule comes to an end, the time for the Grammy Awards ceremony is getting closer and closer.

In order to participate in this award ceremony, Jiang Yuan also specially set aside a week to prepare during the book signing and concert schedule.

On the eve of the awards ceremony, the program "Yuanyouhui" is still broadcasting at its own pace.

The MV for "Ordinary Road" has also been released in the new feature film.

One of the clips records the production process of the MV, as well as some submission processes and interviews for selecting the materials.

The entire MV is not like the "good-looking" MVs that we often see, nor does it tell a complete story.

At first glance, if you remove the animated watermark and lyrics in the opening of the MV, it doesn’t even look like a MV.

However, after being released together with the show, the MV for "Ordinary Road" successfully exploded in popularity.

Although the MV does not tell a complete story, it is made up of different true stories.

Compared with fictional stories, these real stories flash through the lyrics in fragments, but they are more gripping.

Each different story section seems to allow everyone to see all kinds of people.

Coupled with Jiang Yuan's singing voice, the MV was associated with high-frequency keywords after it was released. In addition to being touching, it is also highly inflammatory.

There is no absolute protagonist, but everyone seems to be on this ordinary road.

Even the promotional slogan of the MV uses the lyrics "I'm just like you, like him, like the weeds and wild flowers", which directly points to people's hearts.

In line with the explosion of the sound source, the MV was delayed for a week and was released together with the main film of the program, and successfully became a hit along with it.

The number of views and discussions are constantly soaring.

Quite a few people who left comments felt that this MV was very well made and had a real power.

After the feedback on the latest episode of the program was released, Li Xiaoyue and others can obviously declare success in designing the new model of the program.

The feedback from all aspects was unexpectedly good, and it successfully allowed the program team to determine the next production steps and decided to continue to implement this model for the program.

At the same time, at the end of the latest feature film, Jiang Yuan once again disclosed the theme of the next single.

In addition to the preview, the collection of themed stories was also held again.

Thanks to the transcendent out-of-circle effect of "The Ordinary Road", the number of participants for the latest theme soared to a peak when the event just started.

The program team had to send additional manpower to review relevant submissions.

I just finished one episode of the program and became busy again.

During this time, Jiang Yuan also started preparing for the next song.

Also being prepared is the Grammy Awards ceremony. About a week before the ceremony, the news that Jiang Yuan confirmed that he will participate in the performance was also reported by the official media.

Not surprisingly, it became one of the most popular topics related to awards that day.

While the attention continued to increase, time also unknowingly came to the week before the award ceremony, the real eve of the ceremony.
