It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 307 Nomination
After settling down the three little trainees, Xu Lai remembered how their eyes were shining after he painted them a big cake, as if he saw him back then, but said that he didn't know how much hardship he had to go through before he could make his debut Well, these three little trainees are much better than him, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

The reason why the trainees should be paid is because Xu Lai had experienced worrying about food and clothing before. If he hadn't met Huang Zitao and Lu Han at that time, he really didn't know how hard he could work, so he didn't want these trainees to leave. his old ways.Of course, the family conditions of these few people are also a minority among most trainees. Many people still want to earn money while chasing their dreams. His move is actually to protect the dignity of some poor trainees.

But there are no poor trainees yet, so no one can see it for the time being.But the regulations are here first, and it will definitely be useful later.

The end of October to November is a special period for Xu Lai. The end of October is the time for the announcement of nominations for the MAMA Awards. From November 22th to [-]nd, voting for the American AMA Awards will begin, followed by the announcement of nominations and An awards ceremony will be held, and the Grammy nomination list will be announced at the end of November, but the awards will not be given until February of the following year.

Xu Lai didn’t participate in the Wanwan Golden Melody Awards before, maybe it was too late to release Chinese songs, or maybe people in mainland China didn’t count him among mainland singers at all. He didn’t get involved in the Golden Melody Awards, let alone won , no nominations.

Of course, Xu Lai didn't care much about the Golden Melody Awards, he paid more attention to the three awards from October to November.

When the day comes, the MAMA Awards will be the first to announce the list of nominations for the awards. Many of them occupy multiple nominations, but Xu Lai is undoubtedly the one with the most nominations.Xu Lai's current position in the South Korean music festival does not allow this kind of black-box operation, and Xu Lai's popularity among passers-by in South Korean netizens is very high, which is completely different from other mainland member idols. His popularity in South Korea is comparable to South Korea's local national singers are almost the same, basically at the same level of psy as before. If Xu Lai's performance can be maintained at the same level or higher, it is estimated that this kind of time will last for a long time.

On the day when the MAMA nomination list was announced, countless singers and netizens who followed the list saw the name Xu Lai the most. They were very surprised but not surprised. Zhang Du exploded. After the first one exploded, the second one exploded even more. This achievement is well deserved.

……

The MAMA ceremony gave Xu Lai the highest respect, which is actually the general trend. Xu Lai is so fierce this year. Although the main battlefield is in Europe and the United States, Xu Lai also detonated the South Korean side of the World War II battlefield. There is nothing he can do if he is not nominated for this award. , and the probability of Xu Lai winning the prize is very high. It is estimated that this festival will have a good harvest.

The other singers and songs are of course not bad, but they pale in comparison to Xu Lai. Let alone the best newcomer and best singer, Xu Lai has basically won the award, and the opportunity for song of the year is also very good. Super big, although the theoretical probability is 7/43, but the actual probability should be at least 80.00%.

As soon as the list of nominations came out, it was enough to make a lot of noise in South Korea. Netizens and the industry saw that Xu Lai was so fierce, and the attention to the MAMA ceremony was unprecedentedly high.

Immediately afterwards, the AMA Awards also announced the nomination list.

Xu Lai nominated the best artist of the year and the best male singer respectively, and the second album "This Summer" nominated the best album.

In fact, Xu Lai's first album "Light" can also be relied on in theory, but Xu Lai's second album is even better, so I only nominated the second one. After all, this year's singers have exploded. Immortals A year of fighting, it just doesn't make sense for a singer to be nominated for two albums.

Then, Xu Lai also nominated the best newcomer of the year, the most popular pop singer, "Perfect" and "See You Again" nominated the best single of the year, and Xu Lai also gained a lot in the AMA, winning six awards. Nomination, this nomination made American netizens and people in the industry truly see how ferocious Xu Lai is this year. What you say is that figures such as album sales are a bit false, that is just a number, and this award nomination is the real one. A solid evaluation.

The AMA is all based on voting. Compared with the Grammy, which is more based on the evaluation of the judges and the media, the AMA is an award that depends more on popularity. Many people think that this award is not professional enough, but many people also regard it as a Grammy. Beautiful outlook.

Anyway, Xu Lai's momentum is really big enough now. After all, another singer similar to him is Taylor Swift, the little queen who broke out again this year.

However, in the next Grammy nominations, Xu Lai unexpectedly but not unexpectedly suffered from Waterloo. Xu Lai, who won six nominations in the AMA, only nominated four in the Grammys, and he Nothing to do with awards.

He was personally nominated for Best Newcomer of the Year, competing with another big hit Bonzai, "Viva La Vida" entered the competition for Best Production of the Year, "See You Again" was nominated for Best Track in Film and Television, and Best Electronic Pop Le nominated "something just like this", and guessed that the final nomination was given for Coldplay's sake.

The announcement of this list disappointed many people who had high expectations for Xu Lai. Xu Lai was not in the eyes of the Grammy jury at all, and the possible nomination had a lot to do with Universal Music.

Some people say that Xu Lai suffered from the color of his skin, some people say that Xu Lai is because of his junior qualifications... But no matter what, the Grammy is indeed Xu Lai's regret.Of course, if Xu Lai is nominated, he will still participate, and he can just try his luck. Anyway, he is already mentally prepared.

Universal Music also planned to use the "skin color discrimination" blocking technology when helping Xu Lai to market, but Xu Lai didn't agree, and in the end it was just a normal publicity, and winning the award was really random.

However, Xu Lai felt that this year was quite successful.
