Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 77 Grammy Awards

"How many awards I can win depends on the judges' choices. If I don't win any awards, it means I still need to work harder to become better."

"As for my biggest competitor, all the nominated singers can be said to be my competitors. Of course, they are also my friends, friends in the music world."

Huang Ze tried his best to answer in a balanced manner and not to offend anyone, so as to avoid being taken out of context by these reporters and making a fuss.

I'm here to make money, not to make enemies.

Apart from spending money on albums, it's best for others not to think of me.

After signing, Huang Ze came to the venue and found his seat. He looked around and saw a thin and skinny woman on his left.

In terms of appearance, it’s pretty good. Among people like him, it definitely meets the aesthetic standards of most people.

"Hi, Jerry, hello." The other party took the initiative to greet him.

Huang Ze knew the person in front of him and nodded with a smile. "Hello, Whitney."

Whitney Houston.

She is considered to be a pop singer with top singing talent.

In 85, she released her first album, the same year as Huang Ze. The album was titled "Whitney Houston", also using her own name as the album title.

If Huang Ze remembered correctly, this album produced three number one singles and stayed at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for fourteen weeks. The final sales in the previous life were over 20 million.

I am a time traveler, but this guy came here based on his strength, so he deserves more respect.

Of course, Huang Ze knew her in his previous life because of the 92 global box office runner-up "The Bodyguard" and the song "I Will Always Love You."

It was truly the most popular movie song before "My Heart Will Go On".

"Can you tell me secretly how you managed to fit so many good songs into one album?" Whitney Houston asked in amazement, "I've never seen an album like this, and you wrote all the lyrics and music for it. It's amazing."

"Coincidence, it's all coincidence."

"Hi, Jerry!" Another female voice sounded. Looking up, he saw a female singer passing by who greeted Huang Ze and extended her hand.

"Hello." Huang Ze stretched out his hand and shook it.

Search in your mind.

Two words appear.

Wheat milk?

Wheat milk under thirty?

It’s true that young Mai Nai is quite good-looking.

After being shocked, Huang Ze said the other person's name, "Madonna."

"You don't look like you're even twenty years old!" Madonna said, smiled, nodded and walked away.

Huang Ze sat back down and immediately looked around.

I have seen two of the four great American pop singers in the 1990s, but what about the other two?
I didn't see any.

However, Huang Ze knew that Janet Jackson would most likely be at the venue. After all, she was Michael Jackson's biological sister, and if I remembered correctly, she had already become famous.

The last one, Niulanshan, no, Niu Benshan, Mariah Carey, may still be in middle school now.

Can I set up a record company in the US and snatch this guy away? And then promote it with Warner's distribution? It would be a great way to make money.

Well, you can try it.

But it’s probably still early now. She signed with Columbia in 88. Let’s wait a year or two and see. There’s no rush.

It's too young to go find her by yourself. Some messy news might come out. Besides, her family doesn't seem to be that good either. They might be a good opportunity for those vampires.

While Huang Ze was making plans in his mind, tonight's Grammy Awards ceremony began.

After the opening words, there was a singing performance, and then the awards ceremony began, with several unimportant ones mixed in with an important one.

The first thing that caught Huang Ze’s eyes was the best single of the year.

The first place was won by Michael Jackson's charity song "We Are The World". On January 1 last year, Michael Jackson called on 28 singers to record this song, raising more than 45 million US dollars in charity donations for Africa.

This song has a huge influence.

This touching song was also played at the scene.

After a few minor awards, the next one that came out was Album of the Year, which was won by British gay singer Phil Collins.

Of course, Huang Ze may be more interested in his unborn daughter, Lily Collins, who played Snow White in the 12 "Snow White", not the little black one.

Not long after, Whitney Houston came on stage to receive the Best Pop Female Singer Award. After she came down with the award, she muttered to Huang Ze, "We are sitting together today, so the Best Pop Male Singer Award must be you, my friend."

"I hope so." Huang Ze smiled, "Then I'll borrow your good words."

"Believe in my predictions. My predictions are always accurate."

Sure enough.

Soon, the Best Male Pop Singer award was announced.

"Jerry Huang!"

The song "Never Gonna Give You Up" was also played at the scene.
"Oh, your prediction is really true!"

Huang Ze walked onto the stage and received his first trophy of the night from the guest.

Maybe it’s because GRAMMY is a variant homonym of the English word Gramophone.

The trophy is shaped like an old-fashioned gramophone.

“Thanks.”

Huang Ze held the trophy and began to give his acceptance speech.

Because this is not one of the four general awards, Huang Ze wanted to save some award speech for the best newcomer. In this speech, Huang Ze seemed very conventional.

First of all, I would like to thank the motherland and have a correct attitude.

Then thank the judges.

Then I would like to thank some people who have helped me in the music industry.

After expressing gratitude, he left the stage directly.

After receiving this award, Huang Ze felt that his award luck had started to turn, and he won another award called Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for "Right Here Waiting".

After going up to receive it, he sang the song not long after.

Then, Huang Ze sat in his seat and waited quietly for the Best Newcomer award.

After an unknown amount of time, a man in a black suit, with a beard and a mouth full of particularly conspicuous white teeth walked up.

Huang Ze recognized this person, Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, also known as "Uncle Teeth".

"In the past year, many outstanding newcomers have emerged, and I am honored to present the award to these new bloods..."

After a long opening speech, Freddy slowly opened the envelope and said, "Congratulations, young man from the East, Jerry Hwang."

"call!"

Huang Ze then breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no problem and I finally got it.

Huang Ze was in a very good mood.

After all, this is one of the four general categories, and there are many well-known singers who would even hope to win this trophy.

Because it is awarded to newcomers, no matter how popular you become in the future, you will not have that opportunity again.

I have laid a very solid foundation.

Smiling at the camera, Huang Ze took a deep breath, stood up, took firm steps, and walked onto the stage again.
