Chapter 491 Taylor: The teacher is really gentle
Chapter 491 Taylor: The teacher is really gentle
In February 2007, Cao Xuan was still very busy. He didn't rest at home for a few days, and hurried to the UK by plane.
On February 2, the Brit Awards were presented in London, England
Last year, "Legend" actually made a lot of noise in the UK, but it was overshadowed by the big kills on the US bulletin boards.
But in fact, the album "Legend" was the annual sales champion in four European countries in 2006: Britain, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
In fact, this is understandable. After all, the main language of these countries is English. In fact, the most terrifying thing is that the sales volume of "Legend" in European non-English-speaking countries is also very high.
France ranks fifth in terms of annual sales, and six countries including Spain, Turkey, and Italy rank among the top ten in terms of annual sales. Germany is the country with the highest non-English sales volume and ranks second in terms of annual sales.
Even in Russia, which has never been close to Europe and the United States, the album "Legend" has sold in the low six figures, ranking among the top [-] Russian album sales of the year.
According to Warner, "Legend" has sold well in nearly 200 countries around the world, among which people in 46 countries in Europe have bought this album.
Regardless of how much you buy or how little you buy, even if you only sell one, "the whole of Europe" will fall.
Among them, Cao Xuan was already quite influential in the UK, and now "Legend" is adding to the fire.
Many people only know that Cao Xuan has 5 No. 4 singles on the US Billboard, but what some people don’t know is that he also has [-] No. [-] songs on the British pop music charts.
Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister at the time, publicly disclosed his two hobbies as tennis and pop music. In an interview with the media, he made it clear that he liked the Beatles the most, but now he also thinks Cao Xuan’s songs are good.
And this is not the first time that Cao Xuan's album was presented as a gift for a foreign visit.
Since Singapore in 1998, Cao Xuan's album has become one of the key gifts for foreign heads of state or family members who love pop music.
It's just that in the early years, they were usually in Asia. After 2003, they gradually spread to the whole world. Maybe in two years, they are expected to become regular gifts.
This is the lineup of the world's pop king + Chinese music No.1...
Even the prime minister was "captured", which shows Cao Xuan's popularity in the UK. Cao Xuan even strongly suspects that he is more popular in the UK than in the US.
After all, there are still a bunch of Hollywood superstars and big names in the music industry in the United States, and the competitiveness of the United Kingdom is a little bit smaller.
Not counting the football, tennis, snooker and other sports stars, in the British literary and artistic circles alone, especially the music scene, they are definitely considered top-notch.
This can also be seen from the 2005 Brit Awards taking the initiative to invite Cao Xuan every other year, and this year because of the popularity of "Legend", Cao Xuan has reached a new level.
The Brit Awards put more emphasis on Cao Xuan, even though they were overwhelmed by the Grammys, they announced multiple nominations for Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan did not go to the Billboard Awards and the American Music Awards before, because of a reason, I actually recorded a VCR specially, and I would like to express my gratitude to the organizing committee.
But at that time, because he himself was not present, there were still many conspiracy theories, especially in Europe and the United States, where there were many people who liked Cao Xuan, and there were also many black people.
Especially for the American Music Awards, Cao Xuan was not given the award once before, and many people just made a big fuss, and regarded Cao Xuan's failure to accept the award this time as revenge.
The Golden Horse Awards in China are roughly the same. Prior to this, Cao Xuan had nominated Best Actor for many times, but none of them won the award. Many Cao Hei took the opportunity to clamor that it was Cao Xuan who boycotted the Golden Horse Awards, creating conflicts between the two parties.
Cao Xuan didn't pay attention to this all the time, except that he was not in the mood at the time, and it was also because they were all young people who couldn't tell right from wrong, so it was nothing to worry about.
However, in the first ten days of January, 1 days after grandma left, the customs of Zaoshi are still very important to Touqi and Wuqi.
Cao Xuan accompanied his parents back to his hometown, Zaoshi, to pay homage to the burnt paper, and was photographed by passers-by, and then the matter was exposed by the media. Although he did not name the specific relatives in consideration of the deceased and Cao Xuan, it can be seen that he was close to the elders.
Afterwards, Fan Xing also admitted the matter through the media, and the outside world knew that Cao Xuan had an important family member who passed away at that time, so he kept a low profile for several months, and even missed the Golden Horse and two important music awards.
The original negative turmoil and public opinion subsided in an instant. After all, most people in the world are still kind and understand what this moment means.
Even if some wolf-hearted people still want to play the rhythm, they will be besieged wildly by Cao Xuan fans and passers-by.
Life is alive, don't ask for more kindness, at least be a person...
Now, two months have passed, and Cao Xuan has come out of the gloom and resumed normal work. Naturally, he can no longer sell his face.
He has promised to be present at the Grammy on February 2th, and there is no reason to refuse the Brit Festival on February 14th, so he can only make an extra trip to the UK.
This is not the first time for Cao Xuan to come to the BRIT Awards. He knows the way well, not only accepting the award, but also presenting the award to [Best British Female Singer] - Amy Hornwise.
This female singer is not well-known in China, but her performance is very good. If Cao Xuan was the hottest male singer in the UK last year, she was the hottest female singer.
Her albums won the top music charts in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and many other countries, and the global sales in 2006 exceeded 1200 million.
If it weren't for the incredible results of "Legend", it would be hard to say that the surname Cao was the annual champion of UK sales in 2006.
However, this is not the pinnacle of this girl. Yuan Shikong’s album has also landed in the United States, with good results. In 2008, she won 5 important Grammy awards in one breath, becoming the first person in history to win 5 Grammys in a single session. British singer.
However, the girl's later days were not smooth, and she was ridden with negative news. She died at home in 2011 at the age of 27 due to excessive drinking.
For such a tragedy, Cao Xuan couldn't persuade her, because as early as last year, her company had sent her to a rehabilitation center to quit drinking, but it had little effect. This girl is still an alcoholic. Bad habits.
To put it bluntly, this one belonged to me playing a trick of the name, and no one else could stop me...
Perhaps it was because of being overwhelmed by "Legend" all the time, this guy didn't like Cao Xuan very much, so he gave Cao Xuan a polite hug, took the trophy and went to the stage to express his speech with tears.
It didn't matter to Cao Xuan, he didn't have any performance task, and he stepped off the stage after the awards were presented, waiting for his own award.
It is very interesting that in 2005 Cao Xuan won the BRIT Awards [Best International Male Artist] and [Best International Album of the Year]. .
However, unlike in 2005, last time Cao Xuan regretted missing the [Best Single], but this year Cao Xuan got his wish with "Rolling in the Deep".
As mentioned before, most of the Brit Awards are divided into two categories: [UK] and [International], and [Best Single] is one of the few awards that does not distinguish, and can even be regarded as the most valuable Brit Award awards.
The BRIT Awards have been held for nearly [-] times, most of which are won by British singers, and very few foreign singers have won. Cao Xuan, an Asian, is the first time in history.
Even Cao Xuan said jokingly when accepting the award that "Legend" made him completely numb to the words "renewing history".
It is worth mentioning that the guest presenting the "Best Single" to Cao Xuan was Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones.
There was a gap between the two last year because of the Super Bowl incident, but Jagger was pissed off by Edgar Jr.
Don't underestimate the network and ability of a hall-level band that has been rampant for half a century. Little Edgar's game is not very clever. Jagger realized afterwards, how could he let it go.
Later, little Edgar found a middleman, paid some price, and settled the matter. This guy made a lot of money from Cao Xuan and "Legend", and didn't care about the three melons and two dates at all, so he took the initiative to settle the matter.
Although it was little Edgar who did it, Jagger didn't anger Cao Xuan because of it, but he didn't have a good face, and Cao Xuan didn't get used to him.
The Rolling Stones are great, but they didn't let him go up to flattery. If people respect me, I will respect them. If people don't respect me, I don't have to respect them.
If Cao Xuan was the mastermind of that matter, he would have been wronged, but he didn't know it in advance, so it can't be said that he was plotting against Jagger.
If he hadn't considered that he was the beneficiary after all, Cao Xuan would have wanted him to know what it means for the back wave to push the front wave, and the front wave to slap the dead on the beach...
The two of them were business-like, and there were hardly any smiles when handing over the trophy. Those who knew it was an award ceremony, but those who didn't know thought it was a serious occasion.
The Organizing Committee of the Brit Awards was even more regretful and slapped the thigh. Just thinking about Jagger's big wrist, they finally treated it as a surprise guest, but they didn't find out that the two had an enmity. Isn't this a collision? .
Tomorrow the media will definitely make a lot of hype, and Jagger and Cao Xuan probably don't want to see them either.
It's not their fault, this matter involves too much, it's not very glamorous, both sides keep it in their hearts, and have never dealt with each other, so the outside world only knows that Cao Xuan replaced the Rolling Stones to participate in the Super Bowl, but they don't know that there is something tricky in it .
At the end of the awards ceremony, the person in charge came over to apologize, saying that it was their negligence.
It didn't matter to Cao Xuan either, he and Jagger had no serious enmity, as long as the other party didn't come to pick on him, he wouldn't bother with him either.
But before he finished speaking, Cao Xuan was slapped in the face.
When Jagger was interviewed the next day, he praised Amy Hornwise's song inside and out. The other party happened to be one of the nominees for the best single. Obviously, the connotation of Cao Xuan's award was controversial.
Cao Xuan has not been abroad for a long time, and rarely has negative exchanges with foreign artists.
Naturally, he wouldn't pay attention to small stars touching porcelain. Well-known artists are old-fashioned, and they won't offend Cao Xuan, the popular king, for no reason.
Especially singers, who wouldn't want to collaborate with Cao Xuan, an oriental music magician, and Avril Lavigne and Cao Xuan sang a duet, and directly added a top ten representative work on the Billboard singles chart. Everyone likes this kind of lying win.
Creative kings and queens may not care, but most non-songwriters, especially pop/rock singers, cannot resist the temptation to cooperate with Cao Xuan.
So don't look at Cao Xuan as a Chinese, in fact, "popularity" in the European and American music circles is good, how many friends are put aside, very few take the initiative to offend.
Jagger is one of the few singers who dare to shoot at Cao Xuan, who is just popular. No matter in terms of qualifications, status, and number of fans, he is more than Cao Xuan.
To be honest, facing Jagger's attack, Cao Xuan rarely felt a little fresh. After all, he hadn't flirted with anyone for a long time.
Therefore, in an interview with the British BBC the next day, Cao Xuan fought back unabashedly.
"...Of course I am a rock lover, and I like many bands, including Beyond, Tang Dynasty, Black Panther in China, Linkin Park in the United States, Coldplay and Queen in the UK, U2 in Ireland, and me Top.1 in my mind - The Beatles..."
Cao Xuan is an expert on yin and yang, and the BBC is not at a disadvantage. They specifically highlighted this passage in this interview, and summarized and refined two information points.
①Cao Xuan’s favorite rock band is not the Rolling Stones.
②Cao Xuan thinks the best rock band is the Beatles.
If the former is just hitting back at Jagger, the latter is a bit heartbreaking.
The world's greatest rock band, no one has a final conclusion, but it is recognized that the most qualified are the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
The Beatles have relatively more supporters, but the number of fans of the Rolling Stones cannot be underestimated.
The two families refused to give in to each other. At this time, there is a world king openly standing in line. It may not be of any use, but Jagger himself must be disgusting enough.
What made him even more disgusted was that Paul McCartney, one of the Beatles, joined in the fun and praised Cao Xuan's talent to the outside world.
As if not saying a word, but also as if everything has been said...
Speaking of it, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are very fun, falling in love with each other.
Let's say they have a bad relationship. The two sides once joined forces to make money, and they are also old friends who have a good relationship.
Saying that they have a good relationship, the members of the two have also publicly sparred, tearing down each other's station from time to time, and always saying that they are the best rock band.
Anyway, if you quarrel with them, you don't need to attack anything, just say that you support another band, the effect is absolutely outstanding.
To force an example, it is to praise Beijing University in front of Mizuki, praise Messi to Ronaldo, say that Donggong is more virtuous and beautiful in front of Nishinomiya, and say that Wu Yanzu is more handsome than him when he is fatter...
The enemy of life, properly break the defense!
So no matter how Jagger retaliated, Cao Xuan just praised the Beatles in a tricky way, without mentioning a word of obscenity, and it did not affect his demeanor of the world's pop king in the slightest, and stabbed Jagger in the heart.
Jagger was depressed, but Cao Xuan had no time to talk to him, and flew to Los Angeles, USA to participate in the 49th Grammy.
In 2004, Cao Xuan won 9 Grammy nominations, and finally won 4 awards, shocking the entire music world.
But this year, Cao Xuan's "Legend" was awarded the title, and the number of nominations was even more exaggerated. He won a total of 10 nominations, the most of this year's Grammys.
However, it is still some distance away from breaking the Grammy record for the most nominations. The Grammy has accumulatively received more than 100 nominations. Although double-digit nominations are not many, they are not uncommon.
However, Cao Xuan's 10 nominations are still very valuable, and almost half of them are important awards.
Except for [Best Newcomer], all four general categories were shortlisted, 4 pop categories, 2 rock categories, and one [Best MV].
And the most important thing is that Cao Xuan hardly has any strong opponents this year.
In the first half of the year, the American music scene was hit by "Legend". Most of the singers who came out in the second half of the year were newcomers or unknown singers. As the biggest hit, Cao Xuan was extremely optimistic in the industry.
February 2, Valentine's Day
Cao Xuan had to make two phone calls, then put on his battle suit, and went to the Grammy Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles, accompanied by little Edgar.
On the way, little Edgar was beaming with joy, and his chest was pounding loudly.
The last time Cao Xuan won the WW[-] Grammys, Warner Music Group had just been established, so he didn't have much spare time for public relations. Fortunately, Cao Xuan's luck and strength were good, and the result was quite satisfactory in the end.
This time Cao Xuan's three Grammy battles, Warner Music Group finally has a place to play.
Because of the success of "Legend", Warner Music Group has been officially listed at the beginning of the year, Cao Xuan's 10% shares have been diluted to 7.5%, but the value has almost doubled,
As a result, Warner Music Group has obtained a huge amount of funds, and its strength has greatly increased, and it is more and more willing to use its blood to publicize the Grammys.
After all, the higher Cao Xuan's achievements, the greater Warner's prestige, the better-looking the report, and the rising stock price.
It is related to the company's market value of billions of dollars. Even if Cao Xuan himself is unwilling, Warner will give him several awards.
Edgar Jr. even said frantically: "The more the better, it is best to follow up or break the record and become the top Grammy legend."
At present, Michael Jackson has won the most Grammy awards in a single session. In 1983, he monopolized 8 trophies. In 1999, the famous rock singer Carlos Santana won 8 trophies, tying this record.
In other words, if Cao Xuan equals these two, he must win 10 out of 8 nominations.
Cao Xuan could only say that little Edgar was delusional.
Although one of the above two is black and the other is of Mexican origin, both of them are American citizens, and they are all old Stars and Stripes people.
Cao Xuan is confident in the results of "Legend", and also believes that the Grammys will abide by a certain degree of objectivity and fairness. Coupled with Warner's public relations, there is even a high probability that he will become the big winner of this year's Grammys.
But he will never believe that Grammy is willing to let a Chinese become the highest legend of Grammy.
If the Grammys really have the courage, Lao Cao will be a loyal fan of the Grammys from now on, helping to brag every day.
Little Edgar actually knew it was unreliable, but it didn't stop him from fantasizing about it.
In his eyes, those are not Grammy trophies, they are all stocks that can be exchanged for Green Oil Knife Music, naturally the more the better...
The two chatted in the car and finally arrived at the Grammy Awards Ceremony.
In the red carpet corridor, the appearance of Cao Xuan stole the limelight from most of the people present.
Little Edgar was a showy person, but when he saw this scene, he didn't feel jealous or angry at all. He looked at the surrounded Cao Xuan with a smile on his face, wishing that there would be more people.
He doesn't like others to show off more than him, but if the other party can bring him dollars, it's another matter.
Little Edgar wondered whether he should introduce his sister to Cao Xuan, and the two would marry Cao Xuan, tie Cao Xuan to death, and make a lot of money happily together.
If Cao Xuan knew what little Edgar was thinking, he would definitely send him an epilogue: The duck opens its eyes—it is unnecessary!
Little Edgar's two elder sisters are not ordinary people, and ordinary people can't bear it at all. That's not a married family, it's a feud...
As a key figure in this year's Grammys, Cao Xuan had been interviewed on the red carpet for nearly 20 minutes before being let go by reporters.
Then I met a lot of friends at the award ceremony, such as Shakira, two members of the queer band, and Taylor, my registered student.
Taylor released a new album in October last year. With the distribution channels and publicity exposure of Mars Records, the results and sales have made great progress compared with the original time and space.
Although the first album did not reach the top ten of the Billboard singles chart, it also performed well. At its peak, it reached No. 19 on the Billboard singles chart, and its sales in the United States exceeded one million.
He even got a Grammy nomination in the country category for the first time. Although the chance of winning is not high, it is still a Grammy nomination after all.
Although it's not as good as Avril Lavigne's debut peak monster, but it can also be said to be a blockbuster.
After all, Taylor is only 17 years old now. Cao Xuan asked himself. When he was 17 years old, he was still concerned about whether to eat tomato and egg topped noodles or leek stuffed dumplings for lunch. He couldn’t even afford meat...
The afterlife is terrifying!
However, in Taylor's view, Cao Xuan is a majestic person. As soon as he arrived at the venue, he became the focus of attention. Numerous media raved about it, and famous singers approached him to make friends.
Before Taylor came to the Grammys, she was still full of confidence, ready to show a talented girl to shine in the audience.
As a result, as soon as she came to the meeting place, she became wilted, and everyone ignored her for being a little transparent, which also made Taylor at a loss, huddling in a corner and not daring to say anything.
It wasn't until he saw Cao Xuan that he had the courage to come over. He didn't have the arrogance that made Cao Xuan worship at the beginning, his face was flushed, and he was eagerly introducing himself to Ai Ai.
"Old...teacher, I'm Taylor Swift."
"I saw you just now. I haven't congratulated you yet. You have been nominated for a Grammy. Good job."
Cao Xuan acted like a kind teacher, and even rubbed the head of Future America after the first day, feeling good.
Taylor was a little flattered, if it was placed in other places, even if Cao Xuan praised her, she might still be a bit arrogant.
But just now, he suffered a cold reception, his confidence was hit, and he saw the radiant Cao Xuan again. His whole body was suppressed, and his emotions were naturally magnified infinitely.
Cao Xuan said a few words of special concern, and the young Taylor was almost moved to tears.
"The teacher is really gentle."

I have read a small part of the book, it is really well written, sports boutique, if you are interested, you can go and read it, even if you only subscribe to a few chapters, it is also a support. a hand is a hand

In February 2007, Cao Xuan was still very busy. He didn't rest at home for a few days, and hurried to the UK by plane.

Naturally, he wouldn't pay attention to small stars touching porcelain. Well-known artists are old-fashioned, and they won't offend Cao Xuan, the popular king, for no reason.
Especially singers, who wouldn't want to collaborate with Cao Xuan, an oriental music magician, and Avril Lavigne and Cao Xuan sang a duet, and directly added a top ten representative work on the Billboard singles chart. Everyone likes this kind of lying win.
Creative kings and queens may not care, but most non-songwriters, especially pop/rock singers, cannot resist the temptation to cooperate with Cao Xuan.
So don't look at Cao Xuan as a Chinese, in fact, "popularity" in the European and American music circles is good, how many friends are put aside, very few take the initiative to offend.
Jagger is one of the few singers who dare to shoot at Cao Xuan, who is just popular. No matter in terms of qualifications, status, and number of fans, he is more than Cao Xuan.
To be honest, facing Jagger's attack, Cao Xuan rarely felt a little fresh. After all, he hadn't flirted with anyone for a long time.
Therefore, in an interview with the British BBC the next day, Cao Xuan fought back unabashedly.
"...Of course I am a rock lover, and I like many bands, including Beyond, Tang Dynasty, Black Panther in China, Linkin Park in the United States, Coldplay and Queen in the UK, U2 in Ireland, and me Top.1 in my mind - The Beatles..."
Cao Xuan is an expert on yin and yang, and the BBC is not at a disadvantage. They specifically highlighted this passage in this interview, and summarized and refined two information points.
①Cao Xuan’s favorite rock band is not the Rolling Stones.
②Cao Xuan thinks the best rock band is the Beatles.
If the former is just hitting back at Jagger, the latter is a bit heartbreaking.
The world's greatest rock band, no one has a final conclusion, but it is recognized that the most qualified are the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
The Beatles have relatively more supporters, but the number of fans of the Rolling Stones cannot be underestimated.
The two families refused to give in to each other. At this time, there is a world king openly standing in line. It may not be of any use, but Jagger himself must be disgusting enough.
What made him even more disgusted was that Paul McCartney, one of the Beatles, joined in the fun and praised Cao Xuan's talent to the outside world.
As if not saying a word, but also as if everything has been said...
Speaking of it, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are very fun, falling in love with each other.
Let's say they have a bad relationship. The two sides once joined forces to make money, and they are also old friends who have a good relationship.
Saying that they have a good relationship, the members of the two have also publicly sparred, tearing down each other's station from time to time, and always saying that they are the best rock band.
Anyway, if you quarrel with them, you don't need to attack anything, just say that you support another band, the effect is absolutely outstanding.
To force an example, it is to praise Beijing University in front of Mizuki, praise Messi to Ronaldo, say that Donggong is more virtuous and beautiful in front of Nishinomiya, and say that Wu Yanzu is more handsome than him when he is fatter...
The enemy of life, properly break the defense!
So no matter how Jagger retaliated, Cao Xuan just praised the Beatles in a tricky way, without mentioning a word of obscenity, and it did not affect his demeanor of the world's pop king in the slightest, and stabbed Jagger in the heart.
Jagger was depressed, but Cao Xuan had no time to talk to him, and flew to Los Angeles, USA to participate in the 49th Grammy.
In 2004, Cao Xuan won 9 Grammy nominations, and finally won 4 awards, shocking the entire music world.
But this year, Cao Xuan's "Legend" was awarded the title, and the number of nominations was even more exaggerated. He won a total of 10 nominations, the most of this year's Grammys.
However, it is still some distance away from breaking the Grammy record for the most nominations. The Grammy has accumulatively received more than 100 nominations. Although double-digit nominations are not many, they are not uncommon.
However, Cao Xuan's 10 nominations are still very valuable, and almost half of them are important awards.
Except for [Best Newcomer], all four general categories were shortlisted, 4 pop categories, 2 rock categories, and one [Best MV].
And the most important thing is that Cao Xuan hardly has any strong opponents this year.
In the first half of the year, the American music scene was hit by "Legend". Most of the singers who came out in the second half of the year were newcomers or unknown singers. As the biggest hit, Cao Xuan was extremely optimistic in the industry.
February 2, Valentine's Day
Cao Xuan had to make two phone calls, then put on his battle suit, and went to the Grammy Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles, accompanied by little Edgar.
On the way, little Edgar was beaming with joy, and his chest was pounding loudly.
The last time Cao Xuan won the WW[-] Grammys, Warner Music Group had just been established, so he didn't have much spare time for public relations. Fortunately, Cao Xuan's luck and strength were good, and the result was quite satisfactory in the end.
This time Cao Xuan's three Grammy battles, Warner Music Group finally has a place to play.
Because of the success of "Legend", Warner Music Group has been officially listed at the beginning of the year, Cao Xuan's 10% shares have been diluted to 7.5%, but the value has almost doubled,
As a result, Warner Music Group has obtained a huge amount of funds, and its strength has greatly increased, and it is more and more willing to use its blood to publicize the Grammys.
After all, the higher Cao Xuan's achievements, the greater Warner's prestige, the better-looking the report, and the rising stock price.
It is related to the company's market value of billions of dollars. Even if Cao Xuan himself is unwilling, Warner will give him several awards.
Edgar Jr. even said frantically: "The more the better, it is best to follow up or break the record and become the top Grammy legend."
At present, Michael Jackson has won the most Grammy awards in a single session. In 1983, he monopolized 8 trophies. In 1999, the famous rock singer Carlos Santana won 8 trophies, tying this record.
In other words, if Cao Xuan equals these two, he must win 10 out of 8 nominations.
Cao Xuan could only say that little Edgar was delusional.
Although one of the above two is black and the other is of Mexican origin, both of them are American citizens, and they are all old Stars and Stripes people.
Cao Xuan is confident in the results of "Legend", and also believes that the Grammys will abide by a certain degree of objectivity and fairness. Coupled with Warner's public relations, there is even a high probability that he will become the big winner of this year's Grammys.
But he will never believe that Grammy is willing to let a Chinese become the highest legend of Grammy.
If the Grammys really have the courage, Lao Cao will be a loyal fan of the Grammys from now on, helping to brag every day.
Little Edgar actually knew it was unreliable, but it didn't stop him from fantasizing about it.
In his eyes, those are not Grammy trophies, they are all stocks that can be exchanged for Green Oil Knife Music, naturally the more the better...
The two chatted in the car and finally arrived at the Grammy Awards Ceremony.
In the red carpet corridor, the appearance of Cao Xuan stole the limelight from most of the people present.
Little Edgar was a showy person, but when he saw this scene, he didn't feel jealous or angry at all. He looked at the surrounded Cao Xuan with a smile on his face, wishing that there would be more people.
He doesn't like others to show off more than him, but if the other party can bring him dollars, it's another matter.
Little Edgar wondered whether he should introduce his sister to Cao Xuan, and the two would marry Cao Xuan, tie Cao Xuan to death, and make a lot of money happily together.
If Cao Xuan knew what little Edgar was thinking, he would definitely send him an epilogue: The duck opens its eyes—it is unnecessary!
Little Edgar's two elder sisters are not ordinary people, and ordinary people can't bear it at all. That's not a married family, it's a feud...
As a key figure in this year's Grammys, Cao Xuan had been interviewed on the red carpet for nearly 20 minutes before being let go by reporters.
Then I met a lot of friends at the award ceremony, such as Shakira, two members of the queer band, and Taylor, my registered student.
Taylor released a new album in October last year. With the distribution channels and publicity exposure of Mars Records, the results and sales have made great progress compared with the original time and space.
Although the first album did not reach the top ten of the Billboard singles chart, it also performed well. At its peak, it reached No. 19 on the Billboard singles chart, and its sales in the United States exceeded one million.
He even got a Grammy nomination in the country category for the first time. Although the chance of winning is not high, it is still a Grammy nomination after all.
Although it's not as good as Avril Lavigne's debut peak monster, but it can also be said to be a blockbuster.
After all, Taylor is only 17 years old now. Cao Xuan asked himself. When he was 17 years old, he was still concerned about whether to eat tomato and egg topped noodles or leek stuffed dumplings for lunch. He couldn’t even afford meat...
The afterlife is terrifying!
However, in Taylor's view, Cao Xuan is a majestic person. As soon as he arrived at the venue, he became the focus of attention. Numerous media raved about it, and famous singers approached him to make friends.
Before Taylor came to the Grammys, she was still full of confidence, ready to show a talented girl to shine in the audience.
As a result, as soon as she came to the meeting place, she became wilted, and everyone ignored her for being a little transparent, which also made Taylor at a loss, huddling in a corner and not daring to say anything.
It wasn't until he saw Cao Xuan that he had the courage to come over. He didn't have the arrogance that made Cao Xuan worship at the beginning, his face was flushed, and he was eagerly introducing himself to Ai Ai.
"Old...teacher, I'm Taylor Swift."
"I saw you just now. I haven't congratulated you yet. You have been nominated for a Grammy. Good job."
Cao Xuan acted like a kind teacher, and even rubbed the head of Future America after the first day, feeling good.
Taylor was a little flattered, if it was placed in other places, even if Cao Xuan praised her, she might still be a bit arrogant.
But just now, he suffered a cold reception, his confidence was hit, and he saw the radiant Cao Xuan again. His whole body was suppressed, and his emotions were naturally magnified infinitely.
Cao Xuan said a few words of special concern, and the young Taylor was almost moved to tears.
"The teacher is really gentle."
