Chapter 144 Grammy Awards

Chapter 144 Grammy Awards
At the beginning of February, the 58th Grammy Awards Ceremony was held in New York's Madison Garden. Many big-name stars from the fashion, music, film and television industries gathered at the ceremony.

As the most gold-rich music award in the United States, the Grammy has always been known as the Oscar of the music industry. There are countless singers in the world who are proud of winning a Grammy Award.

So far, five or six musicians from Huaxia have won the Grammy Awards, but most of them are leftover awards such as best performance and best adaptation, and none of the truly important awards.

On the one hand, there is a gap in music aesthetics between the East and the West. Huaxia’s beautiful and artistic lyrics are completely unavailable in the West. On the other hand, there is indeed a gap in music production between the two sides. This is something that can’t be helped.

Originally, Luo Quan's appearance made Huaxia's fans very ambitious. They felt that the quality of the album "18" was so explosive that they could win a Grammy no matter what.

As a result, the album and its tracks didn't even get a single nomination.

Of course, this is not because the Grammy judges are targeting Luo Quan, because none of the Chinese songs were shortlisted.

However, the album "18" is not alone. Luo Quan has released so many songs this year, and none of them has been nominated for a Grammy Award, including "Faded", which has exceeded the one-billion hit mark.

This did not disappoint Luo Quan, because these songs in the previous life did not win a Grammy.

But the songs she wrote for others shined in the Grammys. Love music won the Grammy Best Newcomer Award, "Full fire" won the Best Production of the Year, the Best Album of the Year, and the Best Rock Album of the Year , The song "WE will rock you" won the best song of the year and the best rock song of the year!
There are a total of six awards, including the most valuable awards such as best song and best production. Love music can be said to be the pinnacle of their debut.

It’s not that they are really better than the entire American rock band. The song “We will rock you” is really awesome. The only difference between it and those famous works in music history is that it’s not old enough. It is not an exaggeration to say that the height of the entire band is raised by one's own strength.

On the other hand, Luo Quan's younger brother Leon also gained a lot.

"Baby" won the best pop song of the year, "Lose yourself" won the best rap song of the year, Lyon nominated the most popular rapper of the year, the best pop singer of the year, and "Young" nominated the best rap album of the year.

As a newcomer who has just completed his full year, his achievements are unique in the entire United States, and not long ago he has just become the most handsome face in the world, and Luo Quan has become the most handsome pair of siblings in the world. .

Now that he has won two more Grammys, he has made two huge sums of money on his personal resume. His popularity and achievements will only increase in the future.

On the other hand, his sister, Luo Quan, who was almost blown to the sky in Japan and China, is a leader of the new generation of singers in Asia, a musical genius who comes out every few decades, a walking record player...

With so many awesome titles in one body, the result is two albums and one EP, not even a Grammy nomination, and I have not even been invited by the Grammy. This situation is really a bit of an uproar in the public opinion.

Japan is not bad, the music in the country is a whole of its own, winning the Grammy does not affect Luo Quan's status in Japan, but in China, too many people are waiting to see Luo Quan's jokes.

Zhihu was the first to attack. After the Grammy Awards ended, a piece called "How do you think Luo Quan failed to win at the 58th Grammy?" was topped the hot list.

"As I said before, Luo Quan's talent is actually based on the fan filter. Her songs may sound avant-garde and trendy in China, but they have long been played by others abroad.

The production of the song is indeed very sophisticated, and the singing skills are indeed very good, but there is still a gap compared with foreign ones, and it is not surprising that they cannot win the Grammy. "

"Looking at it now, the title of Asia's leader in singing and writing is not a big problem, because Luo Quan can only be mixed in the small circle in Asia, and it will immediately disappear from everyone in the world."

"Her greatest talent is that she has a good face, which is why you guys lick her like this. If she is not so beautiful, she is only a second-rate singer in China."

"First-rate marketing, second-rate singing skills, third-rate talent, I don't know why you like her so much."

"Zhihu is now occupied by brainless black people? I see that these commentators are stupid, and Luo Quan can only hang out in Asia? Open your eyes and see, the song composition and lyrics of the Love Music band and Lyon's award-winning songs are Who!"

"I've seen a brainless black one, but I've never seen such a brainless one. If she didn't win an award, does that mean she has no talent? With so many Grammys, how many Chinese and Japanese songs won?

It is not a culturally aesthetic language in itself, why is it so strange that people don't give you an award?If you look at the English songs written by Luo Quan, they are either awarded or nominated. Has anyone in China achieved this kind of achievement? "

"The song "We will rock you" is really powerful, but I don't believe that Luo Quan can write songs of similar level in the future. The sudden emergence of inspiration requires conditions, and I don't think Luo Quan can produce songs like this again. conditions of."

"I laughed so hard. If it wasn't for her lack of strength, why would she give the song to someone else? The Grammy has always given the award to the singer, and there has never been a Grammy for writing lyrics and composing."

"That only shows that you are too narrow-minded. The most important thing for a song is to write lyrics and compose music. The singers who sing songs usually don't need too much technical content."

"You are all a little narrow, the creator and singer of a song are both important!"

........................

Compared with the mixed reputation on Zhihu, Weibo seems to be quite calm, because most people don't pay special attention to the Grammy Awards.

After all, not many people in China have won this award. Even if Luo Quan can’t get it, it’s no big deal, and fans are bragging that she is the leader of singing and writing in Asia, and it’s enough if she can dominate in Asia. After all, the Grammy is still Things from Europe and America.

It can only be said that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. As a community with the largest number of small bourgeois groups in China, Zhihu very much hopes that its compatriots can shine in various international awards.

Such as Grammy Awards, Oscar Awards, Emmy Awards, and Nobel Prizes, these are the things that the Zhihu group most hopes to obtain.

Luo Quan gave them hope before, but now the hope is shattered, and it is not surprising that love turns into hatred.

It can only be said that the cultural gap between the East and the West cannot be reversed by Luo Quan alone. Not only the Grammys, but also the few film and television works in Asia that have won Oscars, let alone the Nobel Prize. The country doesn't get much.

Regarding these debates, Luo Quan also responded on Station B:

"The Grammy itself is awarded to singers. I sang "Faded" this year. Although the number of hits is quite high, it is obviously not enough for the award-winning standard.

As for winning an award or not, I don’t think people should pay so much attention to it. It’s a relatively subjective thing. Besides, it’s really difficult for Chinese and Japanese songs to go to the West and compete with English songs for the first place.

If you want to see Huaxia people win a Grammy, I can work hard this year, but I don't guarantee that I can win it. (stick out tongue and smile)"

The comment area of ​​station B is still peaceful:

"This sticking out tongue is very spiritual."

“Cute and lovely~~”

"Brother Meng, can you make the public screen more cute?"

"What kind of Grammy do Chinese people pursue? Isn't it good to have the Golden Bell Award?"

"That's right. Some people on Zhihu have a strange brain circuit. They expect Chinese songs to win awards in the United States. Why don't you let foreign writers go to China to win a contradictory literature award?"

"That is, the cultural core is different and the aesthetics are different. How can it be possible to win the award?"

"In fact, Luo Quan has won the award. After all, she wrote so many award-winning songs, but she didn't sing them herself. This proves that she is capable of winning Grammys, as long as she sings the next few English songs by herself. Just do it."

Luo Quan's remarks are a bit of a surprise, and they are naturally sought after by everyone at station B, but many people on Zhihu don't take it seriously.

"Luo Quan won't really take the media's words seriously, will he? A musical genius you'll see once in a few decades—only in Asia!"

"The Grammy is so easy to win, so many pop singers in China won't be in vain by now."

"Factual knowledge, Japanese pop singers also haven't won Grammys."

"I don't know where Luo Quan's confidence comes from. Human talent is limited, and you are not the only genius in this world. How do you know that there won't be a genius more talented than you next year?"

"I think everyone's reaction was a little too aggressive. No matter how great the Grammy is, it's just an award for Europeans and Americans. If a Chinese person can't get it, he can't get it. Why are you so persistent."

"This is a manifestation of the soft power of the country's culture. No matter how powerful you are behind closed doors, it is not as good as going outside to see the world."

"It's not that Luo Quan, the key person, has never taken it. She has taken many of the English songs she wrote!"

"That's not for her, it's for the singer."

"I can't understand such logic..."

To be honest, Luo Quan was a little speechless when he saw these comments. Some Chinese people are really stunned. Do they just like foreign things so much?Are these domestic awards so insignificant?

The key point is that she really can't blame her for this mentality, because the domestic music and movie awards in recent years are really not very valuable. For a long time, the most valuable movie and music awards in China have been in Wanwan. In many cases, there is not much difference from the pheasant award.

However, Luo Quan does not agree with this view of looking down on domestic awards, at least some awards are still very valuable.

So Luo Quan posted another post:
"The moon in foreign countries is not π, it is not as round as you imagine."
