It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 458

The performance of the singers continued on the stage. "7 Years", which was nominated for the best song of the year, was perfectly presented on the stage by Lukas Graham. The wonderful performance was fascinating, and Xu Lai was no exception.

As a music composer, he is more sensitive to the emotions of music, and he does not hold any prejudice against other singers, so he appreciates other people's works with a correct attitude. In fact, he likes this song very much, but as a competitor, Xu Lai still didn't show any emotion, but just clapped with the crowd after his performance to show politeness and respect.

After the performance, following the freestyle based on the host's script, the presenter of the best pop album was invited to the stage. When Xu Lai heard the host announce the award presenter, he sat up straight and cheered up.

"The winner for Best Pop Album is—"

As the award presenter's voice fell, Xu Lai and Adele became nervous.

""25" By Adele, congratulations Adele."

Adele stood up joyfully when she heard the words, hugged her friends to thank her, and greeted the audience. Xu Lai didn't show much when she heard that she didn't win the award. Instead, she calmly breathed a sigh of relief. This made Lin Yun'er next to him a little surprised, and quickly asked Xu Lai next to him how he felt at this time, worried that he would pretend not to care, but he would feel uncomfortable.

"I don't feel bad. Winning an award... how should I put it? For the Grammys, it may be like this. You need to come and go. Especially when the gap between the two of us is not big, at this time The so-called balance is needed, in fact, it is the game of capital behind. Last time it was me, this time it was her, so there is nothing to care about. If I still win the award this time, then I may really have to worry about it. If you win too many prizes, the big prizes in the future may be a little bit hanging."

Xu Lai knew that Lin Yuner would understand when he said this. After all, the awards are similar in every place. Unless there are works of the crushing level, it is mostly a ceremony for everyone to share the cake. The later capital is on the quality of the previous works. Game, so some people have long said that Grammy is not pure enough.

However, the Grammy is qualified as an American music festival, but it is not qualified as a world music festival. After all, there are too many impurities in it. It is not purely about music, but more about Mani.

But Grammy still needs a fig leaf, so the connotation of Mani supremacy will not be particularly obvious, but Mani will be added to the quality of music.

So, if the quality of the music is too bad, you can't even pile up the money. This is their fig leaf.

Although the Grammy is not pure, it is not pure within the scope of everyone's acceptance, so no one rejects him, and everyone rushes towards him to make his status even better.

The music industry is different from the film and television industry. Grammy has the highest status now. Unlike the film and television industry, in addition to the Oscars, there are several other heavyweight film festivals such as Berlin, Cannes, and Tokyo.

Xu Lai is slightly inferior in the best pop album, but in the competition for the best electronic dance music, Xu Lai can do his part.

Among the rising stars of electronic music, he won the award for best electronic dance music with "All falls down". Fortunately, his album is not an electronic music album, otherwise he would definitely win the award for best electronic music album.

However, electronic music is just an ordinary category. Xu Lai may release an electronic music album in the future, but now he definitely wants to rush for the annual award, so electronic music is not a category with a small audience. It’s done, but it still needs to be popular among the masses.

Xu Lai did the same.

The awards are still going on, and Xu Lai has already won two gramophones. It is already a good harvest for the Grammy contestants, but for Xu Lai, who has been nominated for three annual awards, it is not a good harvest, more like Appetizer.

If you want to have a good harvest, you must win the annual award.

Xu Lai wasn't greedy enough to win all the annual awards, but at least in the competition with Adele, at least one must be won, right?

Xu Lai felt that his requirements were not high, but in the eyes of others, he might just be a little greedy.But when it's just him and Adele competing for supremacy, it's not really greedy.

Moreover, Adele won the "Best Pop Album" before, so Xu Lai is quite confident.

Halfway through the awards show, the awards for the first annual award, Song of the Year, began.

"Nominees for Song of the Year—"

“《Hello》By Adele”

"7 Years by Lukas Graham"

"《Blinding Lights》By Xu Lai"

……

"The winner is—"

"Hello by Adele!"

Adele was very pleasantly surprised. She stood up clutching her chest and hugged her lovers and friends around her again. Xu Lai applauded silently and did not speak. Lin Yuner looked at the silent Xu Lai and did not speak to comfort her. Xu what.

She can't just say that it's okay if she didn't get the award, can she?

The Grammy Award for Song of the Year was just gone. If it had been her, she would have been very sad. She guessed that Xu Lai was also very disappointed, so she could only pat Xu Lai on the back and touch his head. , comforting him as usual.

Xu Lai was indeed quite disappointed in his heart. After all, there were only three annual awards, and the first one was unfavorable. Although he thought that the latter two might have a better chance for him, but watching others walk up to the stage to receive the awards, he always felt that he was a big winner. Not good.

But because the camera on the side was not only aimed at Adele, but also at the "losers" who were nominated but not awarded, if it was before, he had to pretend that he was not disappointed at all, and smiled He wished to bless Adele, but at this time, he didn't smile. After applauding, there was no movement, and he just stayed in his seat and waited for the next award presentation.

The announcement of awards is still going on. A series of classical and jazz awards have nothing to do with Xu Lai, but the music performance in the middle is supposed to cleanse the soul and is quite effective.

Listening to a symphony at the Grammy party seems to be a different experience.

The party is gradually coming to an end in the crossover of performances and awards. The last two annual awards will begin to announce the winners and present awards after the finale performance. The nominated singers are all nervous, but although the host has been creating The atmosphere is tense, but everyone is not someone who has never seen a big scene. In front of the camera, you have to laugh and you have to laugh, and you have to be funny when you should be funny.

However, Xu Lai didn't make that special expression. He just whispered to Lin Yoona in his seat. Then he saw a smile on Lin Yoona's face. The camera captured it and thought he was telling a joke.
