Chapter 360 The New History of Chinese Music and Grammys
Chapter 360 The New History of the Chinese Music World and the Grammys (8000-word chapter)
At Warner Music's New York branch, Cao Xuan saw Mike, and was shocked when he met him.
The last time I saw this guy was still a burly guy, although now he is also strong, but the whole person is obviously rounded several times, if it wasn't for his height and facial features, Cao Xuan almost didn't recognize him.
"Dude, you've fallen, why are you so fat?"
"Hey, I'm married."
Mike's face was turbulent, and Cao Xuan was even more confused. They had a good relationship, and they were one of Cao Xuan's few American friends, so they knew him well.
This guy turned out to be a prodigal son, much more flirtatious than Officer Cao.
Originally, the United States is relatively open, and Mike is an executive of a major record company in the entertainment industry. He also has a lot of annual salary, power and money. Play wild food.
Among other things, when Cao Xuan was in the United States for more than a month, there were no fewer than three women around him, but he didn't see him for more than half a year, and suddenly he decided to get married.
"Love?"
"Her father is the third shareholder of Northern Trust Bank, the only daughter."
"That must be true love."
Cao Xuan suddenly realized that Northern Trust Bank is firmly in the top ten in the US banking industry, and the assets of the third shareholder are at least estimated to be more than one billion US dollars.
He couldn't help but looked at Mike again. He didn't expect this guy with a thick back and a rough face to be able to eat soft food.
At the same time, I also understand why Mike has gained weight, his career is going well, his voice in the board of directors has gradually increased, and he married a rich wife. This is happiness and fat.
The two old friends chatted about the past, and then they talked about the serious business. Cao Xuan not only has nominations for the Grammys, but also has a performance. These two days must hurry up.
The Grammy performance is definitely not as good as the Super Bowl midfielder and Victoria's Secret, but there are also a lot of viewers. It is a good opportunity to show your face and enrich the singer's qualifications.
To say the least, a popular singer in the United States has never performed live at the Grammys, and his career is absolutely incomplete.
As far as Cao Xuan is concerned, being on stage at the Grammys is also a new record in the Chinese music scene and even in the Asian music scene.
In his impression, it seems that no Chinese singer has ever performed on the Grammy stage.
Cao Xuan prepared "you're beautiful", which is the most famous and most likely to win the award, and prepared for tomorrow's rehearsal.
In fact, from the perspective of the scene, singing rock songs is easier to blow up the scene, but the songs were requested by the organizing committee, and Cao Xuan did not force them. Although ballad songs are not as explosive as rock songs, he himself is better at them.
Compared with bombing or not, Cao Xuan cares more about maintaining his singing level in front of many American music industry colleagues, and not losing face.
After talking about the Grammys, Mike also mentioned the movie theme song "Sold out" of "The Matrix" written by Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan completed this song years ago and sent it to the crew. The director brothers and starring Keanu Reeves were very happy.
However, considering the overall tone of the movie, this song was not used as an episode and put into the movie plot, but as the ending song of the movie and the trailer promotion song.
"The Matrix 2" will be released in the United States at the end of March, and it is expected that the trailer + promotional song will be released in the near future.
Mike even estimated that if Cao Xuan had some success at the Grammys, the crew might gain a lot of enthusiasm, and then Cao Xuan might have to cooperate with the promotion and accept interviews and the like.
Cao Xuan actually knew about this. Keanu Reeves has a good relationship with him, and he called him to talk about it before.
Cao Xuan also understands that this song is indeed more suitable for promotion. If it is accompanied by an edited video of "The Matrix" fighting spots, the effect will be even better.
Keanu Reeves also told Cao Xuan's suggestion to the director brothers, but he didn't know if it would be adopted.
As for cooperating with the interview and publicity, Cao Xuan naturally agrees that hundreds of thousands of dollars are not for nothing, and he also hopes that this song will become popular, and the success of the "Matrix" series will also be good for him.
In the evening, Cao Xuan rested at the hotel, adjusted his status, and updated a wave of blogs by the way.
The bulletin board has been on the list for such a long time, which has made Cao Xuan famous. In addition, he has steadily output high-quality blog posts, and later even uploaded pictures with computers in China.
The methods, finished products, scenery, and Chinese elements that can be seen everywhere are not inferior to the food and travel bloggers of later generations, and they are still very lethal at this stage.
Many professional magazines invited Cao Xuan to write articles or reprint them. Although the various manuscript fees were not much, there were a few W scattered throughout the year, and the unit was US dollars.
Now, Cao Xuan has millions of fans on Yahoo blog, although he is not a ceiling, but he is also a first-line Internet celebrity, and his network influence is not low.
For others, they may start to take the rhythm, comment on major social events, and then enter the cultural or political circles or various associations, and then realize them in various ways.
However, Cao Xuan was lazy, or he didn't want to mix it up. When others caught him asking in the comment section, he said he didn't understand the process, so he wouldn't comment.
90% of all his blogs are sharing food, and occasionally talking about music and movies, all of which are full of years and quiet.
In the savage and noisy American Internet that has just emerged, Cao Xuan's blog style is not only unique, but also has a lot of personality, which attracts many introverted and quiet netizens, and makes him particularly popular on the Internet.
Cao Xuan doesn't have much interaction with his blog, but he loves diving very much, and secretly observes the speeches of fans.
There is nothing to share in today's blog. I just said that I was very happy to meet an old friend when I came to the United States today, and then I sighed that someone got fat.
The popularity of Cao Xuan's blog is not low. Within half an hour after the blog was published, there were as many as a thousand comments.
[Has Cao come to America? When is the new song coming out?Do you have any plans to hold a concert?I want to keep the ticket money】
[Congratulations on your Grammy nomination, you deserve the honor]
[I like your blog and music very much, will you perform on stage? 】
【What do you think of the situation in Iraq】
[I have seen the list of Grammy's performances, I am looking forward to your performance, I wish you success in winning the award]
["numb" is second, Cao was bullied by the shady again, and the FXXX bulletin board is a group of bastards with high self-esteem]
【I am a Japanese fan, you are the pride of Asia】
【Ouba, love you】
[Blessings from Italy, handsome man, my homepage has my photo, you can private message me]
【Fuck me, Cao Xuan! ! ! 】
【…】
Due to the style of Cao Xuan's blog, most of his blog fans are relatively introverted and quiet. Even if they have a more flamboyant personality, because of the influence of the environment in the comment area, their speeches are very polite and reserved.
On the other hand, Cao Xuan's comment area has another feature, that is, not only Americans, but also some netizens from Europe, Asia and even South America often come to play around.
Non-US users account for about 1/5~1/4, and if counting Chinese or Asians in the United States, the proportion is even higher.
These days, although there is a "wall", it is not very strong. Domestic netizens can easily access the external network, but the prerequisites are English proficiency and certain skills.
There are many domestic fans in the comment area of Cao Xuan's blog, and many media will also publish some news about his blog.
For this reason, Cao Xuan's fans encouraged Cao Xuan to set up a blog in China, but Cao Xuan didn't respond.
There are many reasons for this. Needless to say, he has not been involved in the Internet abroad. He is still thinking about the layout of domestic blogs and even microblogs later.
Cao Xuan's influence is not a joke. If he enters a certain blog, he can promote it to a large extent. He wants to keep this influence.
Whether it is to let Penguin do it, or to acquire a new website by himself, or to cooperate with Sina, if Cao Xuan wants to gain enough voice, he has to save some cards.
Cao Xuan dived in the comment area for more than an hour, most of them encouraged him, and some scolded the bulletin board, and then the daily scuffle between netizens from various countries.
In the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, whenever they said that the other side's flag was white, and when they said that the other side had few men, they tried their best to expose the shortcomings.
Japan and South Korea refused to give in to each other. When they talked about the atomic bomb and the World Cup, they stabbed each other in their hearts. China fanned the flames and occasionally choked each other.
The United States is watching the excitement everywhere, jumping out from time to time to scold its son, but it is often besieged by various kinds.
As for Ah San, the future No. [-] netizen camp on the Internet, there are still few Internet users, and Cao Xuan’s influence in South Asia is limited.
Although Cao Xuan's blog has been quiet for a long time, he actually likes to watch netizens quarrel, and occasionally changes to a trumpet to bring the rhythm, which is especially decompressive and joyful.
……
The cheerful Cao Xuan didn't fall asleep until almost early morning, and went to the rehearsal the next day refreshed.
Until the evening of February 2003, 2, the Grammy Awards ceremony is about to begin.
Cao Xuan changed his clothes in advance, and the stylist did the styling. He was dressed in a dark blue slim-fit suit with a white tie and a neat short back. He looked very handsome, upright and high-spirited.
Even Qiao Na, who was muttering about him in her heart, her eyes lit up slightly, and the stylist praised him repeatedly, and even stuffed a note in Cao Xuan's hand before leaving.
But when he turned his head, Cao Xuan threw him away.
Just kidding, the stylist's Adam's apple is stronger than him, he doesn't like it...
In fact, regarding the styling, at first Cao Xuan wanted to do a Chinese style, but later he considered that the Grammy is a pop music awards ceremony.
It's okay if it's just to receive the award, the key is that he has to perform, and it's an English song, and the Chinese style doesn't match well, so he changed to a suit.
Before departure, Cao Xuan received a cheering call from the East and West Palaces. Now domestic time is the morning of the 24th, and many people are on the computer, paying attention to the situation of the Grammys.
Apart from the east and west palaces, the eldest princess of Samsung, who hadn't been in touch for almost a year, also sent him a text message for the first time.
【I wish you success and the light of Asia】
Cao Xuan read this text message and struggled for 5 minutes before replying with a [Thank you].
Maybe the politeness and alienation were too obvious, so he didn't speak any more. Cao Xuan didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved. He put down his phone, closed his eyes, and waited for the award ceremony for a while.
Around 5:[-] p.m. local time, the artists of the awards ceremony began to enter the arena one after another, which is the usual red carpet stage.
There are indoor and outdoor red carpets for award ceremonies in the United States. Some have a large number of spectators. They are not only red carpets, but also showcasing the popularity of artists.
This year's Grammys is an indoor red carpet, and all the participants are reporters. They are arranged in a wide corridor, with a large number of reporters on one side and a background wall on the other.
The artist enters the arena and walks around the red carpet, and is photographed by reporters. He signs and takes photos on the signature wall at the finish line. There is a special interview hall on the right side of the signature wall, and interviews will be conducted for artists according to the arrangement and the needs of reporters.
Cao Xuan came in the middle of the stage, without any female companions, and appeared on the red carpet alone.
Personally, he has no interest in red carpet shows, let alone dawdling in taking pictures, and the staff will come up and chase them away.
Well, it's definitely not about certain people...
When Cao Xuan arrived on the red carpet, he walked all the way to the signature wall under the cameras of the reporters, signed his signature and took pictures with a smile. He didn't intend to stay long, but the reporters were very interested in him.
"Cao, you have won 6 nominations this time, do you think you have a chance to win?"
"I am personally confident, but it depends on the organizing committee and judges whether I can win the award."
Cao Xuan is very experienced in answering similar questions, and he can neither belittle himself nor be too arrogant.
Anyway, respecting the organizing committee is the end, no matter whether you win an award or fail, the organizing committee is also responsible for the blame.
"Avril Lavigne and you are also shortlisted for [Best Newcomer] and [Best Single of the Year]. If she wins the award, will you be angry?"
"Of course not. We Chinese have a slogan [friendship first, competition second]. This is also the case in the award competition. No matter who wins the award, it will not affect our friendship.
If she wins, I will sincerely congratulate her. Similarly, if I win, I believe she will be happy for me too. "
Avril Lavigne has five nominations for Grammy this year. In addition to the above two awards, she also nominated [Best Rock/Pop Female Singer], which is roughly similar to Cao Xuan's nominations.
And because the two are both supernovas who became popular this year, and there are scandals, the media will inevitably tie them together for hype.
Cao Xuan had no choice but to express his position, and even brought out famous Sino-US diplomatic quotes, which are very suitable at this time.
"Billboard's song ranked second twice, do you think it's shady?"
"I believe in the fairness and justice of the Billboard rankings. They should not belittle their credibility for some inexplicable ideas. I don't think they will let us down."
The bulletin board will have to hit the rankings in the future, and Cao Xuan won't say anything if he offends him, but that doesn't mean he can't put pressure on the bulletin board.
As I said before, the higher the bulletin board is set up, the more innocent and kind Cao Xuan is, and the bulletin board is set off to be black and evil. If they still play tricks on Cao Xuan, the public opinion backlash will be stronger.
The reporters in the United States are very sharp, and Cao Xuan has to be very careful when facing them.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan has practiced in China for many years, so he is no longer a rookie.
Regardless of sugar-coated cannonballs or swords, guns, swords and halberds, he has a set of Tai Chi cloud hands, smooth hands, and invulnerable to all poisons. As long as he doesn't want to say it himself, don't even try to pull out any violent material from his mouth.
Cao Xuan's tactful performance also made many American journalists who were dealing with him for the first time silently grit their teeth.
FXXX, I hate this kind of old-fashioned person the most. Seeing that you are not very old, why are you not young and energetic at all, young people must be stunned.
Scold the president today, criticize the pope tomorrow, or criticize capitalists, so that you will have exposure, we will have material, and everyone will be happier.
Cao Xuan couldn't help curling his lips when he looked at the disappointed reporters.
It's not a big deal to watch the fun in a dog day. I want to make money, not die. He doesn't want to hang himself after being shot seven times in the back...
.........
After passing the red carpet and arriving at the venue, Cao Xuan found it embarrassing not to hang out in the American music scene for a long time.
There are too few people I know, and I can't find anyone to chat with, so I can only sit in my seat by myself, feeling a little bit isolated.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan wasn't embarrassed for too long, four men came over to say hello, the leader with a long and thin face was the first to shake hands with Cao Xuan.
"Hi Cao, I'm [Coldplay] frontman Chris Martin."
"Hi, I'm Guy Berryman, the bass player in the band."
"Guitarist, Johnny."
"Will Chapin, drummer."
Cao Xuan got up and shook hands with the four of them, and exchanged greetings: "I have heard you for a long time, I have listened to your new album, and the song "In my place" is very good."
Coldplay, a British rock band, is also a famous band that is very famous all over the world in later generations.
They debuted in 1996, became popular with "yellow" in 2000, and released their second album last year. The sales of the album are not inferior to Cao Xuan's "Chris Tsao", and they were successfully shortlisted for the Grammy [Best Rock Band].
Cao Xuan knew them very well, and Coldplay, like Lincoln, Magnum, and Maroon [-], was his focus.
Even if it weren't for the help of Knock Down Boy Band and Magnum, the second English album would be the first to crush them.
After receiving Cao Xuan's enthusiastic response, several members of Coldplay were also very happy, especially the lead singer Chris Martin, who was nicknamed "Sweet Potato" by Chinese fans because of his long face, expressed some excitement.
"Dude, your 'Natural' is a hit. I love it. I think it's one of the best rock songs of the year."
"Why should there be one?"
"Because I think our song is the best."
Bassist Guy responded in a joking tone, and the crowd laughed, then gathered to chat.
Not long after chatting, Cao Xuan was slapped on the shoulder, and a brown-haired chick in denim looked up at him with a smile.
"Hi!"
The person who came was none other than Cao Xuan's little fan girl, Avril. A few members of Coldplay saw Avril appear, looked at the two of them, suddenly realized, and left.
Before leaving, Ma Shanyu secretly gave Cao Xuan a thumbs up, showing a smile that men can understand,
Cao Xuan was speechless, obviously that guy is still in the local manufacturer, why do you all understand Wang Possession, I am innocent.
Avril Lavigne poked Cao Xuan angrily, regardless of their small actions.
"You come to America, why don't you come to me."
"Sister, can you stop complaining? It makes me feel like I've abandoned you. Didn't I call you?"
"I don't care. After the awards are presented, I will be invited to dinner and apologize."
"Look at the itinerary, we'll talk when we have time."
Cao Xuan really didn't want to provoke this little girl, but only regarded her as a younger sister. There was no way, this girl had too much personality and she was young, so she would have to make trouble if she didn't give permission. If she got attached, it might be a big trouble.
The little girl is a nice person, and she is also her own little fan girl. Cao Xuan couldn't make a promise, so he didn't want to hurt other girls.
But I didn't expect this girl to fall in love with him. It might be exaggerated to stalk him, but it's also a bit of a needle, and she flirts when there's nothing to do, which is very troublesome.
Sometimes Cao Xuan can't help but miss the three-star eldest princess, know how to advance and retreat, play well, keep safe and confidential, and the most important thing is not to be responsible for him.
Although I am not ashamed of my ancestors, I have to admire my ancestors' idea of flirting with girls, wives and girls, who knows which is easier...
Cao Xuan casually chatted with Avril Lavigne, and listened to her outline what happened after becoming popular in the past six months.
Now she is a serious American + Canadian teenage idol, the top of the American entertainment circle, and the trumpet Britney.
But the red is red, but the huge exposure and attention has brought a lot of inconvenience to Avril Lavigne, making her very confused and depressed when she is just an adult.
"If you really feel uncomfortable, just take some time to go to a place where no one knows you. Asia and Europe are more suitable. If you really can't come to China, I will arrange it for you."
"Okay, let's go to China, we've made a deal!"
Avril's eyes lit up, and she immediately knocked Cao Xuan to death. The speed was so fast that Cao Xuan couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been fooled.
.........
When the two were fighting wits and courage, the Grammy Awards ceremony officially began.
Avril Lavigne was clearly seated far away from Cao Xuan, but she still changed seats with Cao Xuan next to her, as if she had decided on Cao Xuan today.
Both of them are supernovas in the American music scene, and their positions and treatment are similar. Because Avril is white and popular, her treatment is even better than Cao Xuan.
She wanted to switch seats, and the neighbor took advantage of it, and she left happily. The Grammy organizing committee was so happy, and even arranged for the camera to take more shots, maybe it would be a small hit.
Only Cao Xuan has a bit of a headache. If this f*cking photo or video is spread across the country, the East and West palaces must not deal with him.
Cao Xuan didn't struggle for too long. After the award ceremony was announced, the host came to the stage to read the opening speech, and it didn't take long for the first performance.
As I said before, nearly a hundred or even more than a hundred awards are awarded each Grammy, and it takes a long time, so in order not to be boring, there are also many performances arranged.
Like this year, Grammy has arranged a total of about 20 performances, arranged between awards.
Cao Xuan played in the second half of the show, and Avril Lavigne also had a show. Around the middle of the show, the timing of the awards was just staggered, so it was convenient to go backstage to prepare for the show in advance.
The order in which the Grammys are presented is not always the same.
Some are categorized, some are classified according to importance, and some are scattered. One important award is accompanied by several unpopular awards, so as to ensure that the ratings are as even as possible.
This year, it was loose, and two awards in the Long Song category were awarded, and then the highlight was the "Best Album of the Year" among the four major categories.
An old Caucasian lady came on stage, she seemed to be a bel canto singer, said a few words, and pulled out the envelope.
During the TV broadcast, five sub-mirrors appeared on one side of the screen, showing the five finalists, and the other side looked at the envelope in the old lady's hand.
"'Come Away With Me,' Norah Jones."
On the big screen, one of Cao Xuan's biggest competitors this year, Norah Jones covered her mouth in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
The audience applauded and congratulated, Avril poked Cao Xuan again, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think she was really surprised or fake."
"Really."
Cao Xuan carefully observed Nora's expression. From his professional actor's point of view, he didn't find any traces of performance. It should be a sincere performance.
Seeing him staring seriously, Avril couldn't help feeling sour: "It's enough to just take a look, why is it not over yet, she is as good-looking as me?"
Cao Xuan pondered for a moment, glanced at Nora, then glanced back at Avril, and said coolly.
"Probably taller than you, um... sure older than you."
In this sentence, the former is extremely lethal to Avril Lavigne who is only 1.56 meters tall, let alone the latter, no woman can stand it.
If it wasn't for the camera, the girl would have been so angry that she could have bitten, but she wasn't much better now, with a smile on her lips, pinched and twisted Cao Xuan's thigh several times with her hands.
"Um……"
Cao Xuan snorted lightly, his expression normal.
This strength is far worse than that of the East and West Palaces, and the position is not good. If you want to be lethal, you have to aim at the thighs and... ahem, let's not talk about it in detail.
The two were making small moves here, and Nora also finished her award acceptance speech. After the next award was awarded, a new show came up. Cao Xuan listened to the song below, acting as a ruthless applause machine.
Until the award of the [Best Rock Song], Cao Xuan straightened up and concentrated his attention.
This award is one of his nominations. Although the chance of winning is not high, it is hard to guarantee that the dark horse will make a counterattack.
The award-presenting guests introduced on stage that the live shots had been on several finalists, and it was Cao Xuan who got the most shots.
There is no way, Cao Xuan himself is still calm, and Avril next to her has already clenched her fists, her face is tense, and she is very eye-catching.
The corners of Cao Xuan's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the constantly sweeping cameras and the strange eyes.
Sister, restrain yourself, I can hardly speak clearly!
Cao Xuan didn't suffer for too long. The award was announced, but he was not the one who won the award.
Disappointment is a bit disappointing, but Cao Xuan was mentally prepared. Avril wanted to comfort him, but he gave him a vaccination instead.
The next one is her shortlisted 【Best Female Rock Singer】.
Well, as expected, I lost.
Before Avril opened her mouth, she ate half a bowl of chicken soup from Cao Xuan: "You are still young, and the days to come are long, don't be discouraged by a temporary failure..."
Talking about making noise, another 10 minutes passed, one after another, all the rock and roll categories were almost released,
Cao Xuan lost all three awards, but Coldplay won the [Best Rock Band] as they wished.
After sending applause and congratulations, Cao Xuan's expression became a little serious.
There are still three nominations, and the chances of [Best Single of the Year] are slim. If the remaining two are missed and get a duck egg to return to China, it would be a shame.
Just when Cao Xuan felt the pressure, the [Best Newcomer] began to be awarded.
Presenting the award was Janet Jackson, one of the four great queens of the United States and Michael Jackson's own sister.
She can be regarded as the surprise guest of this year. When she appeared, the scene was a little surprised. Michael Jackson was troubled by the children's case, and his sister was also affected, and many activities were pushed.
It was indeed a surprise to be present at the Grammy Awards today.
"This award always attracts attention every year, because they are the new blood of our music scene and the music industry. Last year, there were many outstanding newcomers.
Nora's jazz made me drunk, Avril Lavigne's punk rock started a new wave of pop, John Mayer sang all the campuses in the land... and Cao, whose talent is simply amazing, even reminds me of Another person I know well. "
Due to public opinion, Janet Jackson didn't name that person, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
At this juncture, other people may feel offended, but Cao Xuan, who understands the truth of the matter, does not feel this way, and is even honored.
The world-recognized king of pop!
If you copy it like this, you may not be able to copy that achievement. Being able to compare with Michael Jackson, even if it is just polite words, is enough to make Cao Xuan feel elated.
Janet Jackson made her opening remarks, then pulled out the envelope.
The camera was shot on the 5 finalists, and the broadcast screen showed the state of the five people, either nervous, excited, worried, calm, or confident, with different emotions and various life styles.
Jenny slowly opened the envelope, glanced at the name on it, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and shouted loudly.
"Chris Tsao (Cao Xuan), congratulations, Tsao."
Even Cao Xuan, who has experienced many battles, won the Grammy and created a new history, so he couldn't help but shake his fist a little.
Avril screamed happily, rushed up and jumped to hug Cao Xuan. Considering that she was also one of the finalists, people who didn't know thought she misheard the name or was stimulated crazy.
Cao Xuan, whose hair was full of black lines, put down Avril Lavigne who had jumped onto him. Cao Xuan was ready to be bombarded by the East and West Palaces when he returned home.
But at this moment, the joy of victory has overwhelmed everything. He took a deep breath, lifted his tie, and walked onto the stage amidst applause.
"Congratulations, your music is great."
"Thank you."
Cao Xuan and Jenny hugged and gave a face-to-face gift. As a result, he couldn't help but look at the golden record trophy in his hand, and shook his head and laughed in the eyes of countless people in the audience.
"Frankly speaking, I have won many music awards, and I even served as a judge for some awards in China this year, but this time I feel the most different when I receive the award. At first I thought I would calm down, but I couldn't. Ignore your own excitement."
The audience and guests in the audience gave applause of understanding.
Grammy, as the hall of pop music, has an extraordinary status among all singers. Maybe everyone has different experiences, but they understand Cao Xuan's feelings very well.
Cao Xuan bowed slightly, and continued: "As a Chinese singer, standing here today, I feel very proud and proud.
Compared with the United States, our Chinese music scene still has a certain gap, but all singers and musicians have made unremitting efforts.
I look forward to one day in the future when I can become a bridge between Chinese music and international music, and all of us will work together to create the prosperity of the world's pop music scene.
……
Thank you to my family and friends and all my colleagues, without their support, my award would not be possible.
I also thank the Grammys for their openness and diversity. Perhaps on this day, we will create a new history of the Chinese music scene and the Grammys together. "
After Cao Xuan finished speaking, he bowed and stepped off the stage, and the audience applauded again.
No matter what you think in your heart, in the face of a singer who wins glory for the country and a new history that has achieved zero breakthroughs, everyone will give them due respect...
(End of this chapter)
At Warner Music's New York branch, Cao Xuan saw Mike, and was shocked when he met him.
The last time I saw this guy was still a burly guy, although now he is also strong, but the whole person is obviously rounded several times, if it wasn't for his height and facial features, Cao Xuan almost didn't recognize him.
"Dude, you've fallen, why are you so fat?"
"Hey, I'm married."
Mike's face was turbulent, and Cao Xuan was even more confused. They had a good relationship, and they were one of Cao Xuan's few American friends, so they knew him well.
This guy turned out to be a prodigal son, much more flirtatious than Officer Cao.
Originally, the United States is relatively open, and Mike is an executive of a major record company in the entertainment industry. He also has a lot of annual salary, power and money. Play wild food.
Among other things, when Cao Xuan was in the United States for more than a month, there were no fewer than three women around him, but he didn't see him for more than half a year, and suddenly he decided to get married.
"Love?"
"Her father is the third shareholder of Northern Trust Bank, the only daughter."
"That must be true love."
Cao Xuan suddenly realized that Northern Trust Bank is firmly in the top ten in the US banking industry, and the assets of the third shareholder are at least estimated to be more than one billion US dollars.
He couldn't help but looked at Mike again. He didn't expect this guy with a thick back and a rough face to be able to eat soft food.
At the same time, I also understand why Mike has gained weight, his career is going well, his voice in the board of directors has gradually increased, and he married a rich wife. This is happiness and fat.
The two old friends chatted about the past, and then they talked about the serious business. Cao Xuan not only has nominations for the Grammys, but also has a performance. These two days must hurry up.
The Grammy performance is definitely not as good as the Super Bowl midfielder and Victoria's Secret, but there are also a lot of viewers. It is a good opportunity to show your face and enrich the singer's qualifications.
To say the least, a popular singer in the United States has never performed live at the Grammys, and his career is absolutely incomplete.
As far as Cao Xuan is concerned, being on stage at the Grammys is also a new record in the Chinese music scene and even in the Asian music scene.
In his impression, it seems that no Chinese singer has ever performed on the Grammy stage.
Cao Xuan prepared "you're beautiful", which is the most famous and most likely to win the award, and prepared for tomorrow's rehearsal.
In fact, from the perspective of the scene, singing rock songs is easier to blow up the scene, but the songs were requested by the organizing committee, and Cao Xuan did not force them. Although ballad songs are not as explosive as rock songs, he himself is better at them.
Compared with bombing or not, Cao Xuan cares more about maintaining his singing level in front of many American music industry colleagues, and not losing face.
After talking about the Grammys, Mike also mentioned the movie theme song "Sold out" of "The Matrix" written by Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan completed this song years ago and sent it to the crew. The director brothers and starring Keanu Reeves were very happy.
However, considering the overall tone of the movie, this song was not used as an episode and put into the movie plot, but as the ending song of the movie and the trailer promotion song.
"The Matrix 2" will be released in the United States at the end of March, and it is expected that the trailer + promotional song will be released in the near future.
Mike even estimated that if Cao Xuan had some success at the Grammys, the crew might gain a lot of enthusiasm, and then Cao Xuan might have to cooperate with the promotion and accept interviews and the like.
Cao Xuan actually knew about this. Keanu Reeves has a good relationship with him, and he called him to talk about it before.
Cao Xuan also understands that this song is indeed more suitable for promotion. If it is accompanied by an edited video of "The Matrix" fighting spots, the effect will be even better.
Keanu Reeves also told Cao Xuan's suggestion to the director brothers, but he didn't know if it would be adopted.
As for cooperating with the interview and publicity, Cao Xuan naturally agrees that hundreds of thousands of dollars are not for nothing, and he also hopes that this song will become popular, and the success of the "Matrix" series will also be good for him.
In the evening, Cao Xuan rested at the hotel, adjusted his status, and updated a wave of blogs by the way.
The bulletin board has been on the list for such a long time, which has made Cao Xuan famous. In addition, he has steadily output high-quality blog posts, and later even uploaded pictures with computers in China.
The methods, finished products, scenery, and Chinese elements that can be seen everywhere are not inferior to the food and travel bloggers of later generations, and they are still very lethal at this stage.
Many professional magazines invited Cao Xuan to write articles or reprint them. Although the various manuscript fees were not much, there were a few W scattered throughout the year, and the unit was US dollars.
Now, Cao Xuan has millions of fans on Yahoo blog, although he is not a ceiling, but he is also a first-line Internet celebrity, and his network influence is not low.
For others, they may start to take the rhythm, comment on major social events, and then enter the cultural or political circles or various associations, and then realize them in various ways.
However, Cao Xuan was lazy, or he didn't want to mix it up. When others caught him asking in the comment section, he said he didn't understand the process, so he wouldn't comment.
90% of all his blogs are sharing food, and occasionally talking about music and movies, all of which are full of years and quiet.
In the savage and noisy American Internet that has just emerged, Cao Xuan's blog style is not only unique, but also has a lot of personality, which attracts many introverted and quiet netizens, and makes him particularly popular on the Internet.
Cao Xuan doesn't have much interaction with his blog, but he loves diving very much, and secretly observes the speeches of fans.
There is nothing to share in today's blog. I just said that I was very happy to meet an old friend when I came to the United States today, and then I sighed that someone got fat.
The popularity of Cao Xuan's blog is not low. Within half an hour after the blog was published, there were as many as a thousand comments.
[Has Cao come to America? When is the new song coming out?Do you have any plans to hold a concert?I want to keep the ticket money】
[Congratulations on your Grammy nomination, you deserve the honor]
[I like your blog and music very much, will you perform on stage? 】
【What do you think of the situation in Iraq】
[I have seen the list of Grammy's performances, I am looking forward to your performance, I wish you success in winning the award]
["numb" is second, Cao was bullied by the shady again, and the FXXX bulletin board is a group of bastards with high self-esteem]
【I am a Japanese fan, you are the pride of Asia】
【Ouba, love you】
[Blessings from Italy, handsome man, my homepage has my photo, you can private message me]
【Fuck me, Cao Xuan! ! ! 】
【…】
Due to the style of Cao Xuan's blog, most of his blog fans are relatively introverted and quiet. Even if they have a more flamboyant personality, because of the influence of the environment in the comment area, their speeches are very polite and reserved.
On the other hand, Cao Xuan's comment area has another feature, that is, not only Americans, but also some netizens from Europe, Asia and even South America often come to play around.
Non-US users account for about 1/5~1/4, and if counting Chinese or Asians in the United States, the proportion is even higher.
These days, although there is a "wall", it is not very strong. Domestic netizens can easily access the external network, but the prerequisites are English proficiency and certain skills.
There are many domestic fans in the comment area of Cao Xuan's blog, and many media will also publish some news about his blog.
For this reason, Cao Xuan's fans encouraged Cao Xuan to set up a blog in China, but Cao Xuan didn't respond.
There are many reasons for this. Needless to say, he has not been involved in the Internet abroad. He is still thinking about the layout of domestic blogs and even microblogs later.
Cao Xuan's influence is not a joke. If he enters a certain blog, he can promote it to a large extent. He wants to keep this influence.
Whether it is to let Penguin do it, or to acquire a new website by himself, or to cooperate with Sina, if Cao Xuan wants to gain enough voice, he has to save some cards.
Cao Xuan dived in the comment area for more than an hour, most of them encouraged him, and some scolded the bulletin board, and then the daily scuffle between netizens from various countries.
In the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, whenever they said that the other side's flag was white, and when they said that the other side had few men, they tried their best to expose the shortcomings.
Japan and South Korea refused to give in to each other. When they talked about the atomic bomb and the World Cup, they stabbed each other in their hearts. China fanned the flames and occasionally choked each other.
The United States is watching the excitement everywhere, jumping out from time to time to scold its son, but it is often besieged by various kinds.
As for Ah San, the future No. [-] netizen camp on the Internet, there are still few Internet users, and Cao Xuan’s influence in South Asia is limited.
Although Cao Xuan's blog has been quiet for a long time, he actually likes to watch netizens quarrel, and occasionally changes to a trumpet to bring the rhythm, which is especially decompressive and joyful.
……
The cheerful Cao Xuan didn't fall asleep until almost early morning, and went to the rehearsal the next day refreshed.
Until the evening of February 2003, 2, the Grammy Awards ceremony is about to begin.
Cao Xuan changed his clothes in advance, and the stylist did the styling. He was dressed in a dark blue slim-fit suit with a white tie and a neat short back. He looked very handsome, upright and high-spirited.
Even Qiao Na, who was muttering about him in her heart, her eyes lit up slightly, and the stylist praised him repeatedly, and even stuffed a note in Cao Xuan's hand before leaving.
But when he turned his head, Cao Xuan threw him away.
Just kidding, the stylist's Adam's apple is stronger than him, he doesn't like it...
In fact, regarding the styling, at first Cao Xuan wanted to do a Chinese style, but later he considered that the Grammy is a pop music awards ceremony.
It's okay if it's just to receive the award, the key is that he has to perform, and it's an English song, and the Chinese style doesn't match well, so he changed to a suit.
Before departure, Cao Xuan received a cheering call from the East and West Palaces. Now domestic time is the morning of the 24th, and many people are on the computer, paying attention to the situation of the Grammys.
Apart from the east and west palaces, the eldest princess of Samsung, who hadn't been in touch for almost a year, also sent him a text message for the first time.
【I wish you success and the light of Asia】
Cao Xuan read this text message and struggled for 5 minutes before replying with a [Thank you].
Maybe the politeness and alienation were too obvious, so he didn't speak any more. Cao Xuan didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved. He put down his phone, closed his eyes, and waited for the award ceremony for a while.
Around 5:[-] p.m. local time, the artists of the awards ceremony began to enter the arena one after another, which is the usual red carpet stage.
There are indoor and outdoor red carpets for award ceremonies in the United States. Some have a large number of spectators. They are not only red carpets, but also showcasing the popularity of artists.
This year's Grammys is an indoor red carpet, and all the participants are reporters. They are arranged in a wide corridor, with a large number of reporters on one side and a background wall on the other.
The artist enters the arena and walks around the red carpet, and is photographed by reporters. He signs and takes photos on the signature wall at the finish line. There is a special interview hall on the right side of the signature wall, and interviews will be conducted for artists according to the arrangement and the needs of reporters.
Cao Xuan came in the middle of the stage, without any female companions, and appeared on the red carpet alone.
Personally, he has no interest in red carpet shows, let alone dawdling in taking pictures, and the staff will come up and chase them away.
Well, it's definitely not about certain people...
When Cao Xuan arrived on the red carpet, he walked all the way to the signature wall under the cameras of the reporters, signed his signature and took pictures with a smile. He didn't intend to stay long, but the reporters were very interested in him.
"Cao, you have won 6 nominations this time, do you think you have a chance to win?"
"I am personally confident, but it depends on the organizing committee and judges whether I can win the award."
Cao Xuan is very experienced in answering similar questions, and he can neither belittle himself nor be too arrogant.
Anyway, respecting the organizing committee is the end, no matter whether you win an award or fail, the organizing committee is also responsible for the blame.
"Avril Lavigne and you are also shortlisted for [Best Newcomer] and [Best Single of the Year]. If she wins the award, will you be angry?"
"Of course not. We Chinese have a slogan [friendship first, competition second]. This is also the case in the award competition. No matter who wins the award, it will not affect our friendship.
If she wins, I will sincerely congratulate her. Similarly, if I win, I believe she will be happy for me too. "
Avril Lavigne has five nominations for Grammy this year. In addition to the above two awards, she also nominated [Best Rock/Pop Female Singer], which is roughly similar to Cao Xuan's nominations.
And because the two are both supernovas who became popular this year, and there are scandals, the media will inevitably tie them together for hype.
Cao Xuan had no choice but to express his position, and even brought out famous Sino-US diplomatic quotes, which are very suitable at this time.
"Billboard's song ranked second twice, do you think it's shady?"
"I believe in the fairness and justice of the Billboard rankings. They should not belittle their credibility for some inexplicable ideas. I don't think they will let us down."
The bulletin board will have to hit the rankings in the future, and Cao Xuan won't say anything if he offends him, but that doesn't mean he can't put pressure on the bulletin board.
As I said before, the higher the bulletin board is set up, the more innocent and kind Cao Xuan is, and the bulletin board is set off to be black and evil. If they still play tricks on Cao Xuan, the public opinion backlash will be stronger.
The reporters in the United States are very sharp, and Cao Xuan has to be very careful when facing them.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan has practiced in China for many years, so he is no longer a rookie.
Regardless of sugar-coated cannonballs or swords, guns, swords and halberds, he has a set of Tai Chi cloud hands, smooth hands, and invulnerable to all poisons. As long as he doesn't want to say it himself, don't even try to pull out any violent material from his mouth.
Cao Xuan's tactful performance also made many American journalists who were dealing with him for the first time silently grit their teeth.
FXXX, I hate this kind of old-fashioned person the most. Seeing that you are not very old, why are you not young and energetic at all, young people must be stunned.
Scold the president today, criticize the pope tomorrow, or criticize capitalists, so that you will have exposure, we will have material, and everyone will be happier.
Cao Xuan couldn't help curling his lips when he looked at the disappointed reporters.
It's not a big deal to watch the fun in a dog day. I want to make money, not die. He doesn't want to hang himself after being shot seven times in the back...
.........
After passing the red carpet and arriving at the venue, Cao Xuan found it embarrassing not to hang out in the American music scene for a long time.
There are too few people I know, and I can't find anyone to chat with, so I can only sit in my seat by myself, feeling a little bit isolated.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan wasn't embarrassed for too long, four men came over to say hello, the leader with a long and thin face was the first to shake hands with Cao Xuan.
"Hi Cao, I'm [Coldplay] frontman Chris Martin."
"Hi, I'm Guy Berryman, the bass player in the band."
"Guitarist, Johnny."
"Will Chapin, drummer."
Cao Xuan got up and shook hands with the four of them, and exchanged greetings: "I have heard you for a long time, I have listened to your new album, and the song "In my place" is very good."
Coldplay, a British rock band, is also a famous band that is very famous all over the world in later generations.
They debuted in 1996, became popular with "yellow" in 2000, and released their second album last year. The sales of the album are not inferior to Cao Xuan's "Chris Tsao", and they were successfully shortlisted for the Grammy [Best Rock Band].
Cao Xuan knew them very well, and Coldplay, like Lincoln, Magnum, and Maroon [-], was his focus.
Even if it weren't for the help of Knock Down Boy Band and Magnum, the second English album would be the first to crush them.
After receiving Cao Xuan's enthusiastic response, several members of Coldplay were also very happy, especially the lead singer Chris Martin, who was nicknamed "Sweet Potato" by Chinese fans because of his long face, expressed some excitement.
"Dude, your 'Natural' is a hit. I love it. I think it's one of the best rock songs of the year."
"Why should there be one?"
"Because I think our song is the best."
Bassist Guy responded in a joking tone, and the crowd laughed, then gathered to chat.
Not long after chatting, Cao Xuan was slapped on the shoulder, and a brown-haired chick in denim looked up at him with a smile.
"Hi!"
The person who came was none other than Cao Xuan's little fan girl, Avril. A few members of Coldplay saw Avril appear, looked at the two of them, suddenly realized, and left.
Before leaving, Ma Shanyu secretly gave Cao Xuan a thumbs up, showing a smile that men can understand,
Cao Xuan was speechless, obviously that guy is still in the local manufacturer, why do you all understand Wang Possession, I am innocent.
Avril Lavigne poked Cao Xuan angrily, regardless of their small actions.
"You come to America, why don't you come to me."
"Sister, can you stop complaining? It makes me feel like I've abandoned you. Didn't I call you?"
"I don't care. After the awards are presented, I will be invited to dinner and apologize."
"Look at the itinerary, we'll talk when we have time."
Cao Xuan really didn't want to provoke this little girl, but only regarded her as a younger sister. There was no way, this girl had too much personality and she was young, so she would have to make trouble if she didn't give permission. If she got attached, it might be a big trouble.
The little girl is a nice person, and she is also her own little fan girl. Cao Xuan couldn't make a promise, so he didn't want to hurt other girls.
But I didn't expect this girl to fall in love with him. It might be exaggerated to stalk him, but it's also a bit of a needle, and she flirts when there's nothing to do, which is very troublesome.
Sometimes Cao Xuan can't help but miss the three-star eldest princess, know how to advance and retreat, play well, keep safe and confidential, and the most important thing is not to be responsible for him.
Although I am not ashamed of my ancestors, I have to admire my ancestors' idea of flirting with girls, wives and girls, who knows which is easier...
Cao Xuan casually chatted with Avril Lavigne, and listened to her outline what happened after becoming popular in the past six months.
Now she is a serious American + Canadian teenage idol, the top of the American entertainment circle, and the trumpet Britney.
But the red is red, but the huge exposure and attention has brought a lot of inconvenience to Avril Lavigne, making her very confused and depressed when she is just an adult.
"If you really feel uncomfortable, just take some time to go to a place where no one knows you. Asia and Europe are more suitable. If you really can't come to China, I will arrange it for you."
"Okay, let's go to China, we've made a deal!"
Avril's eyes lit up, and she immediately knocked Cao Xuan to death. The speed was so fast that Cao Xuan couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been fooled.
.........
When the two were fighting wits and courage, the Grammy Awards ceremony officially began.
Avril Lavigne was clearly seated far away from Cao Xuan, but she still changed seats with Cao Xuan next to her, as if she had decided on Cao Xuan today.
Both of them are supernovas in the American music scene, and their positions and treatment are similar. Because Avril is white and popular, her treatment is even better than Cao Xuan.
She wanted to switch seats, and the neighbor took advantage of it, and she left happily. The Grammy organizing committee was so happy, and even arranged for the camera to take more shots, maybe it would be a small hit.
Only Cao Xuan has a bit of a headache. If this f*cking photo or video is spread across the country, the East and West palaces must not deal with him.
Cao Xuan didn't struggle for too long. After the award ceremony was announced, the host came to the stage to read the opening speech, and it didn't take long for the first performance.
As I said before, nearly a hundred or even more than a hundred awards are awarded each Grammy, and it takes a long time, so in order not to be boring, there are also many performances arranged.
Like this year, Grammy has arranged a total of about 20 performances, arranged between awards.
Cao Xuan played in the second half of the show, and Avril Lavigne also had a show. Around the middle of the show, the timing of the awards was just staggered, so it was convenient to go backstage to prepare for the show in advance.
The order in which the Grammys are presented is not always the same.
Some are categorized, some are classified according to importance, and some are scattered. One important award is accompanied by several unpopular awards, so as to ensure that the ratings are as even as possible.
This year, it was loose, and two awards in the Long Song category were awarded, and then the highlight was the "Best Album of the Year" among the four major categories.
An old Caucasian lady came on stage, she seemed to be a bel canto singer, said a few words, and pulled out the envelope.
During the TV broadcast, five sub-mirrors appeared on one side of the screen, showing the five finalists, and the other side looked at the envelope in the old lady's hand.
"'Come Away With Me,' Norah Jones."
On the big screen, one of Cao Xuan's biggest competitors this year, Norah Jones covered her mouth in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
The audience applauded and congratulated, Avril poked Cao Xuan again, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think she was really surprised or fake."
"Really."
Cao Xuan carefully observed Nora's expression. From his professional actor's point of view, he didn't find any traces of performance. It should be a sincere performance.
Seeing him staring seriously, Avril couldn't help feeling sour: "It's enough to just take a look, why is it not over yet, she is as good-looking as me?"
Cao Xuan pondered for a moment, glanced at Nora, then glanced back at Avril, and said coolly.
"Probably taller than you, um... sure older than you."
In this sentence, the former is extremely lethal to Avril Lavigne who is only 1.56 meters tall, let alone the latter, no woman can stand it.
If it wasn't for the camera, the girl would have been so angry that she could have bitten, but she wasn't much better now, with a smile on her lips, pinched and twisted Cao Xuan's thigh several times with her hands.
"Um……"
Cao Xuan snorted lightly, his expression normal.
This strength is far worse than that of the East and West Palaces, and the position is not good. If you want to be lethal, you have to aim at the thighs and... ahem, let's not talk about it in detail.
The two were making small moves here, and Nora also finished her award acceptance speech. After the next award was awarded, a new show came up. Cao Xuan listened to the song below, acting as a ruthless applause machine.
Until the award of the [Best Rock Song], Cao Xuan straightened up and concentrated his attention.
This award is one of his nominations. Although the chance of winning is not high, it is hard to guarantee that the dark horse will make a counterattack.
The award-presenting guests introduced on stage that the live shots had been on several finalists, and it was Cao Xuan who got the most shots.
There is no way, Cao Xuan himself is still calm, and Avril next to her has already clenched her fists, her face is tense, and she is very eye-catching.
The corners of Cao Xuan's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the constantly sweeping cameras and the strange eyes.
Sister, restrain yourself, I can hardly speak clearly!
Cao Xuan didn't suffer for too long. The award was announced, but he was not the one who won the award.
Disappointment is a bit disappointing, but Cao Xuan was mentally prepared. Avril wanted to comfort him, but he gave him a vaccination instead.
The next one is her shortlisted 【Best Female Rock Singer】.
Well, as expected, I lost.
Before Avril opened her mouth, she ate half a bowl of chicken soup from Cao Xuan: "You are still young, and the days to come are long, don't be discouraged by a temporary failure..."
Talking about making noise, another 10 minutes passed, one after another, all the rock and roll categories were almost released,
Cao Xuan lost all three awards, but Coldplay won the [Best Rock Band] as they wished.
After sending applause and congratulations, Cao Xuan's expression became a little serious.
There are still three nominations, and the chances of [Best Single of the Year] are slim. If the remaining two are missed and get a duck egg to return to China, it would be a shame.
Just when Cao Xuan felt the pressure, the [Best Newcomer] began to be awarded.
Presenting the award was Janet Jackson, one of the four great queens of the United States and Michael Jackson's own sister.
She can be regarded as the surprise guest of this year. When she appeared, the scene was a little surprised. Michael Jackson was troubled by the children's case, and his sister was also affected, and many activities were pushed.
It was indeed a surprise to be present at the Grammy Awards today.
"This award always attracts attention every year, because they are the new blood of our music scene and the music industry. Last year, there were many outstanding newcomers.
Nora's jazz made me drunk, Avril Lavigne's punk rock started a new wave of pop, John Mayer sang all the campuses in the land... and Cao, whose talent is simply amazing, even reminds me of Another person I know well. "
Due to public opinion, Janet Jackson didn't name that person, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
At this juncture, other people may feel offended, but Cao Xuan, who understands the truth of the matter, does not feel this way, and is even honored.
The world-recognized king of pop!
If you copy it like this, you may not be able to copy that achievement. Being able to compare with Michael Jackson, even if it is just polite words, is enough to make Cao Xuan feel elated.
Janet Jackson made her opening remarks, then pulled out the envelope.
The camera was shot on the 5 finalists, and the broadcast screen showed the state of the five people, either nervous, excited, worried, calm, or confident, with different emotions and various life styles.
Jenny slowly opened the envelope, glanced at the name on it, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and shouted loudly.
"Chris Tsao (Cao Xuan), congratulations, Tsao."
Even Cao Xuan, who has experienced many battles, won the Grammy and created a new history, so he couldn't help but shake his fist a little.
Avril screamed happily, rushed up and jumped to hug Cao Xuan. Considering that she was also one of the finalists, people who didn't know thought she misheard the name or was stimulated crazy.
Cao Xuan, whose hair was full of black lines, put down Avril Lavigne who had jumped onto him. Cao Xuan was ready to be bombarded by the East and West Palaces when he returned home.
But at this moment, the joy of victory has overwhelmed everything. He took a deep breath, lifted his tie, and walked onto the stage amidst applause.
"Congratulations, your music is great."
"Thank you."
Cao Xuan and Jenny hugged and gave a face-to-face gift. As a result, he couldn't help but look at the golden record trophy in his hand, and shook his head and laughed in the eyes of countless people in the audience.
"Frankly speaking, I have won many music awards, and I even served as a judge for some awards in China this year, but this time I feel the most different when I receive the award. At first I thought I would calm down, but I couldn't. Ignore your own excitement."
The audience and guests in the audience gave applause of understanding.
Grammy, as the hall of pop music, has an extraordinary status among all singers. Maybe everyone has different experiences, but they understand Cao Xuan's feelings very well.
Cao Xuan bowed slightly, and continued: "As a Chinese singer, standing here today, I feel very proud and proud.
Compared with the United States, our Chinese music scene still has a certain gap, but all singers and musicians have made unremitting efforts.
I look forward to one day in the future when I can become a bridge between Chinese music and international music, and all of us will work together to create the prosperity of the world's pop music scene.
……
Thank you to my family and friends and all my colleagues, without their support, my award would not be possible.
I also thank the Grammys for their openness and diversity. Perhaps on this day, we will create a new history of the Chinese music scene and the Grammys together. "
After Cao Xuan finished speaking, he bowed and stepped off the stage, and the audience applauded again.
No matter what you think in your heart, in the face of a singer who wins glory for the country and a new history that has achieved zero breakthroughs, everyone will give them due respect...
