It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 459

Both Adele and Xu Lai deserved this award, after all, the results and quality are all there.

Xu Lai felt a little disappointed when Adele won the award, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. This is only the first of three annual awards, and there are two more to come. He will decide whether to laugh or have a fit later.

Anyway, according to the ideas of Xu Lai and Universal Music, the Grammy judges should not have the guts to make it too ugly, otherwise Xu Lai will really make trouble, not only Xu Lai himself will not agree, but stand behind Xu Lai The capital will not agree.

No one wants things to escalate and become ugly. Xu Lai is not a small player who can be manipulated by others, so he has no worries about the shady situation now. What he is worried about now is losing to Adele head-on.

It’s true that he has confidence in his own work, but this kind of thing doesn’t just depend on his own confidence. It also has a lot to do with the taste of the judges. He went on tour a while ago and didn’t care too much about the previous Grammy votes. , and don't know what the standard is.

So, after Adele won the first grand prize, he who hadn't looked worried before, started to worry a little bit.

Immediately after the awards were given, there was an intermission and a stage. After the stage, the awards continued. The subsequent awards had little to do with Xu Lai, so he didn't have to worry about them. Time passed slowly and it came soon. At the end of the awards ceremony.

A series of performances dazzled everyone, and after the atmosphere was stirred up, it was naturally time for the nominees to get nervous again.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill walked onto the stage after the emcee's speech. The two stood in the center of the stage, facing the stand microphone, and started the usual small talk.

No matter what we talk about, anyway, the awards will not be mentioned first, and then the topic will be forcibly rounded back to the topic of the awards scene.

After the two award presenters said that the awards they were about to award were "Production of the Year" and "Album of the Year", cheers broke out from the stage. Everyone had finally waited for this moment, the time for the announcement of the ultimate award.

The first award to be presented is the annual production. As the camera moves, the appearance of the nominees is also projected on the big screen.

"First, let's take a look at the nominees for the Production of the Year Award—"

"Hello By Adele"

“Formation By Beyoncé”

"7 Years by Lukas Graham"

""Work" By Rihanna, Drake"

“《Blinding Lights》By Xu Lai”

When they respectively read out the five nominees, there will be a pause of more than ten seconds in the middle, and then the essence of the MV that mentions the song will be played on the big screen, giving everyone a little visual impact, and then it’s time for them to show off It's time.

"The winner of the final production award of the year—" Tim McGraw began to sell the jokes, which was not neat at all, which made Liu Mo a little speechless for a while. Although it was expected, he also sold too many jokes some.

"Speaking of him, we have to say..."

"嘁~"

"Shh~~"

The audience in the audience were dissatisfied with Tim McGraw's trickery, and began to boo him, trying to force him to announce the winner as soon as possible, but the script had already been arranged, so how could he change it so easily?Despite being booed, he had a smile on his face and continued to speak the speech arranged in the script.

"The king of the world we left before - Michael Joseph Jackson, famous singer, musician, dancer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, humanitarian, pacifist."

"He not only lives in our lives in the way of music, but also lives in our hearts in a more profound way. Thanks to Xu Lai, we can feel Michael's existence again in 21 in the 2016st century, and also Let us understand that some people are dead, but they are still alive."

"So, you deserved the annual production award, congratulations."

"The winner of the Producer of the Year Award is - Xu Lai, "Blinding Lights."

……

After a long series of speeches, Tim McGraw finally announced the winner. The six people were looking forward to the final answer, but when Tim McGraw said Michael Jackson, everyone already understood this The award is for Xu Lai.

After all, Xu Lai's "Blinding Lights" set off a retro wave when it first appeared. The style of the whole song is retro electronic music, which makes people feel like they are in an 80s disco. Michael Jackson's vocals are very similar, and it is undeniable that this is considered to be a tribute to Michael Jackson.

Of course, the most important thing is that the quality and popularity of this song are very high, so everyone regards this song as the first choice among the tribute works to Michael Jackson, so Xu Lai may really be lucky to win this award Light up Michael Jackson.

His contribution to American pop music is unquestionable, and everyone will always be nostalgic. It is good that the quality of the songs is excellent, but if there are some gimmicks, it may be better for the waist of winning awards and publicity, such as Xu This time, Universal Music put on the banner of Michael Jackson in its promotion, but they were very careful not to arouse any resentment from the public, or to consume bad words such as dead singers.

Everything is going well, and Adele's "Hello" has proved its excellence by winning the song of the year, but in this confrontation, she lost.

Now the two are back on the same starting line. Among the awards they nominated together, each of them got two gramophones, one for ordinary awards, and one for annual awards. The distribution is quite even, which is quite interesting.

On Xu Lai's side, before he actually opened his mouth to announce the winners, the friends around him smiled, and they were still looking at Xu Lai, expressing their blessings with their eyes, but Xu Lai still didn't make any expression, nor did he He didn't act particularly relaxed. Although Xu Lai's song background is likely to win the award at this time, but maybe the award presenter just wants to trouble him, just want to use him to flog the corpse...

Of course, this is a bit outrageous. After all, they have a script for what they say. Basically, what they say on stage represents the attitude of the organizer and the judges behind them. They can't manipulate Xu Lai like this, right?

If this is the case, Xu Lai may be in trouble here.The weapon of racial discrimination is not impossible.

But after the actual announcement of his award, he suddenly felt a little more relaxed, and there was no pressure in his heart. Although there would be another comparison, he already felt that it was no big deal.

He has lived up to normal expectations.
