The Staples Center in Los Angeles is very busy because this is the place where the annual Grammy Awards are held. Compared with the previous Oscars, today will be a little more playful, with more celebrities who are popular among teenagers. . .
The stars are so bright, and the celebrities are not so strict. Whether they are movie stars or singers, kings and queens treat this as a party and come to join in the fun. The veteran black Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman appeared wearing a trendy hat, while the Australian beauty Nicole Kidman showed off her affection to her husband. The Hollywood socialite Hilton was hugged by fans on the red carpet. The Jonas brothers walked down the red carpet with their mother, Taylor Swift showed off her breasts like a muse in a black dress, fruity sister Katie Perrie was sexy, Queen Beyonc¨¦ was passionate and unrestrained, and rap king Eminem was naughty. Still, Justin Timberlake is handsome and handsome, Whitney Houston is extremely confident, Mia with her big belly is still charming in her maternity clothes, Jay-Z is cool and extraordinary, Mai Li Cyrus is youthful and active, Uncle Bin's charm is unstoppable, Little Pepper Wynneth Paltrow is noble and cool, the British hope that Adele is confident and irresistible, Coldplay's Magic Red sings on the same stage, Oscar winner and Grammy Best Male Singer Jamie Foxx supports Yang Lin.
More than a hundred celebrities, big and small, dazzled the reporters outside the venue, but tonight's protagonist has not yet come out. Yang Lin, who has won eight nominations, should be participating in the Grammy competition for the first time, but His record is not outstanding, leading all the finalists, and is regarded by the outside world as the biggest favorite at this year's Grammy.
Among this year¡¯s nominations, it can be said that American music has been severely pushed, while the British music scene has suddenly emerged and accounted for most of the nominations. Not counting Yang Lin for the time being, the most popular British band Coldplay received 7 nominations. The famous rapper Lil Wayne also won 7 nominations. Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye West each received 6 nominations. nominations. Alison Krauss, John Mayer, Robert Plant, Radiohead and Jazminesullivan received five nominations. Dangermouse, Eagles, Lupefiasco, Geestrait and T.I. all received four nominations.
How many of the eight nominations can you win? This is not only a problem for the audience, but also a question for Yang Lin himself. He is very confident today, because he should be the most outstanding singer in 2008. Although he has not held a large-scale concert tour, his album sales, reputation and single ranking are enough.
As of this Monday, his first English album has sold 10.7 million copies and has received five platinum certifications in the United States. This is the first album in the 21st century to have sales exceeding 10 million. His achievements don't stop there. The MV (rolling in the deep) joined by many stars has exceeded 100 million views on YouTube.
Speaking of which, most of Yang Lin¡¯s acquaintances in the United States are actors, so at this time there are almost no acquaintances to chat with. Just when he was sitting alone on the chair playing with his mobile phone, Justin Timberlake came over and sat next to him, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you go talk to someone else?"
Yang Lin helplessly spread his hands and explained: "I also want to talk to others, but I don't know any of them, and I don't want to disturb them when I see them chatting with friends. By the way, let me introduce myself, I am Yang Lin. "
"I know you are Yang Lin, you are my idol now." Justin was a familiar person. He held Yang Lin's hand and let go after a moment. Then he noticed the confusion on Yang Lin's face, and a smile couldn't help appearing on his handsome face. He said: "I am an actor now, and I am also a singer. You are the only person I have ever seen who combines the two. People who fit together perfectly.¡±
Justin, who has been in the industry for a long time and was famous during the period of the group "Superboy", has indeed given up his singing career and turned to movies in recent years. However, he is a well-known pop king in the music industry, but he is a newcomer in the film industry. Movies such as "The Love Coach," "The Road Is Clear," and "The Black Mamba" all received mediocre responses and failed to meet expectations at the box office.
Yang Lin naturally knows who he is. It is a waste of resources for such a good singer to become an actor. There are so many actors who are worthy of this bit player, but the music world is lacking a pop king. He pursed his lips and said: "Actually, I feel like I'm almost too busy now, and it's simply not possible to take care of both aspects. I think you should return to the music scene. I'm your die-hard fan!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Lin was so talkative. Justin had already forgotten the original intention of talking to him. The two of them talked about everything from singing and dancing to acting, which he cared about most.
"Actually, you look very good and handsome, but you just need to improve your facial expressions. Acting is not a simple matter, but you need to guess by yourself. I personally suggest that you master the most basic expressions first, and you will look very good. Be real and leave no traces." Yang Lin gave his own advice. He really didn't think highly of Boss Jia, but what could he do?
The awards ceremony was about to begin. Justin patted his thigh hard and said with some embarrassment: ???After chatting with you for so long, I have forgotten what I came to do. When the awards ceremony is over, I will introduce some friends to you. They are all leaders in the music industry. Beyonc¨¦ and Jay-Z will definitely welcome you. "
Faced with Justin, whose enthusiasm index exceeded the standard, Yang Lin could only refuse: "Sorry, I will join the crew of "Star Trek" immediately after the award ceremony. I have already exceeded the deadline by two days. If I don't go, I will probably find a director." I¡¯m in trouble, I can¡¯t afford the liquidated damages.¡±
"Okay, I can understand people who have movies to make. I'll see you next time when I have time. Don't refuse!" Justin stood up, gave Yang Lin a look, and walked away.
The awards ceremony has a quite luxurious stage. This is where Yang Lin completes his task. He also has the task of a star development system. As long as his performance at the Grammys meets the standards, he will have a Hollywood A-class movie. Being a starring role was such a rare opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.
This time he was not responsible for the opening performance, but it was enough to perform his song that was nominated for the Best Single Award in the middle. After all, this is a music award and there will be many performances. On the one hand, the audience wanted to see who the awards were, and on the other hand, they wanted to see the exciting performances.
The opening performance was presented by fruit sister Katy Perry. Her explosive song "et" opened today's ceremony. Yang Lin was also sitting upright preparing for his coronation ceremony.
Nominated for Best Record of the Year, Best Album of the Year (we-are-young), Song of the Year (rolling-in-the-deep), Best Male Pop Vocalist, Best Newcomer, Best Pop Chorus, and Best Rock Song , Best Electronic Music Production, Yang Lin's eight nominations are all very valuable, and the first one awarded is the comprehensive category award.
There are only four comprehensive categories of Grammy Awards, including Best Production of the Year, Best Album of the Year, Best New Artist of the Year, and Best Song of the Year. And coincidentally, Yang Lin was shortlisted for these four awards, so everyone around him turned their attention to him.
It seemed that the start was unfavorable. The first award for Best Production of the Year was awarded to the album "Sands", a collaboration between Plant and Krause, a multinational young and old duo.
Historically, the arrogant British have always regarded Americans as their "little brothers in their colonies." However, the glory of history has not allowed the British to take advantage of pop music. "Big Brother" the British take it seriously, and the invasion of a large number of American singers and bands into the British music scene has long been a spectacle. But you still have to believe the saying, "Ten years to the east of the river, ten years to the west of the river." Americans should be proud of themselves for many years. Let the British show their face, and the 2009 Grammys is their best chance.
Nothing makes the British more proud than taking away American awards on American territory. Ever since the nominations before the awards ceremony, the British band "Coldplay" (led by Oldplay) has had the momentum of not being happy if they don't win. , this is more like a collective siege. "Coldplay", "Radiohead" Adele, Leona Lewis, and Duffy all attack the most important "Grammy" awards. This is far better than last year. Amy Winehouse works alone. Last year, Amy Winehouse won numerous awards alone. This time, the British singers and bands are naturally more confident in their collective actions.
The first award was won by a British singer, so the momentum was naturally different. And Yang Lin was the only yellow person at the scene. He sat on the seat and clapped his hands gently without being arrogant or arrogant. He does not believe that he will not win the award based on his performance. If that is the case, the Grammy honor that has been maintained for decades will be destroyed. No singer can get around Yang Lin's hurdle.
As expected, Yang Lin successfully won a gramophone in the album of the year award: "Actually, I fully appreciate the Grammy judges for awarding this award to me."
The extremely simple acceptance speech seems to many to be simply outrageous. In the words of a netizen, it is "single-handedly rendering tens of millions of Americans speechless."
This is the arrogance of a musician and a reflection of Yang Lin's self-confidence. I know that I can sing very well. The quality of my albums is very good and the sales are good, so it is not wrong to award this award to me.
After a while, the audience burst into applause, and many viewers found themselves falling in love with Yang Lin's unruly and proud attitude. Yang Lin, who got the gramophone, also raised his eyebrows. He had already prepared this sentence.
After this start, "Rolling In The Deep" also dominated the crowd and defeated other candidates for the best song of the year, winning Yang Lin his second golden gramophone. Even though she lost to Adele in the Rookie of the Year award, Yang Lin did not complain at all, because that was what she deserved.
Yang Lin won half of the four comprehensive awards. In the subsequent pop awards, he almost defeated his enemies all the way, except for the best pop collaboration.?This award was lost to "richwomen". Four pop category nominations, Best Male Pop Vocalist, Best Rock Song, and Best Electronic Music Production for Three Gramophones.
Five gramophones almost blocked Yang Lin's entire body. He was holding these trophies in both hands, almost struggling, but he still happily accepted the reporter's interview and took pictures. (To be continued.
