From traffic to movie star

Chapter 424 Grammy trip

Due to some well-known reasons, China has been closed for hundreds of years. In the past hundred years, no matter it is the development of economy, culture and other aspects, it has lagged behind the Western world.

In terms of entertainment, film and television and music are criticized for their lack of achievements in the world.

Oscars and Grammys can be said to be the eternal pain points of all people in the entertainment industry.

But now, Wei Xun and Lin Zi have broken the record of zero awards for Chinese musicians in the Grammys. This breakthrough is enough to make all musicians in the industry happy and excited.

So, when the film media were still immersed in the carnival of Wei Xun's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" breaking through the 30 billion box office record, the music media had already locked in Wei Xun and Lin Zi's Grammy trip .

The largest, most professional and authoritative periodical magazine [The Sound of Music] in the Chinese music circle specially formed a filming and interviewing team to accompany Wei Xun and Lin Zi to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA.

At that time, the filming team will broadcast Wei Xun and Lin Zi's Grammy schedule live.

And because this year's Grammys has unprecedented nominations from Chinese people, Jutong Video bought the exclusive live broadcast rights of the Grammys in China. Two days later, Chinese people can watch the Grammy Awards on Jutong Video Live ceremony.

The day Wei Xun and Lin Zi flew to the United States attracted the attention of the entire Internet.

Hundreds of media reporters and countless netizens saw them off at the airport. Wei Xun was wearing a low-key black down jacket with a relaxed expression, as if he was not too nervous about the upcoming Grammy trip.

But in fact, netizens are not as calm as him.

"The Grammys have won awards based on sales and popularity in the past few years. From this point of view, Lin Zi is still very promising."

"It's the first time to see Huaxia people on the top stage of Omi Music. Really, it's not easy. I hope Lin Zi and Wei Xun can win the award smoothly."

"Whether they win the award or not, they are destined to be written into the history of the Chinese music circle."

"Remember to watch the live broadcast the day after tomorrow. Jutong Video bought out the exclusive live broadcast of the Grammys."

During the heated discussion among the domestic media and netizens, Wei Xun and Lin Zi boarded the plane to the United States together.

On the plane, Lin Zi's expression was not as relaxed as Wei Xun's.

She looked at Wei Xun, with a tone of tension and anxiety that she didn't even notice: "Last year when you wrote the song "Shake it off" for me and asked me to go to overseas markets, I never thought that I really I can sell tens of millions of singles, and even get a Grammy pass. But the strange thing is, my grades are getting better and better, but I am more and more worried about gains and losses. From the moment I get on the plane, my heart is beating hard."

As China's top queen, what has Lin Zi not experienced?
But the next thing she's going to do is the Grammys!

Can you be nervous?
"Only when people become stronger and stronger will they understand their own shortcomings. You broke Huaxia's record of zero nominations in the Grammys. From the moment you enter the country, you are no longer simply yourself, you also represent the image of the country."

Wei Xun turned his head and said with a smile: "Perhaps Huaxia's current entertainment background is not as good as theirs, but it doesn't matter. You have to turn yourself into a business card so that the world can see and understand Huaxia. If you think about it this way, yes It's not the sense of responsibility on the shoulders, it is greater than the sense of tension in the heart."

Lin Zi glanced at Wei Xun in surprise.

This man, who is many years younger than him, not only has outstanding talent and ability, but even the way he looks at problems is very admirable.

"Mr. Wei is right. In fact, those of us in the industry really hope to see musicians from our own country on the Grammy stage one day."

On the seat next to her, a middle-aged woman with short hair and a capable appearance said with a smile: "So for your Grammy trip, colleagues from our company are all crowded and have to come with you. Everyone said that they want to witness together. It belongs to our own honor. Therefore, you two, please calm down and decide whether to win or not. Standing on the red carpet of the Grammys is already a victory."

This middle-aged woman's name is Chen Tong, she is the deputy editor-in-chief of [The Sound of Music], and she is responsible for leading the entourage of Wei Xun and Lin Zi to compete for the Grammys.

"Then according to what you said, next I have to dress myself up beautifully, and then go to the red carpet." Lin Zi joked: "From this point of view, there seems to be no difference between Ling Wei and me. "

Wei Xun and Chen Tong also laughed out loud when they heard the words. Ling Wei once walked the red carpet of the Grammys, but it was through a brand sponsor, and there was no work next to her. To put it bluntly, she just walked on the red carpet.

Going with Lin Zi with nominations is of two natures.

[The Sound of Music] The crew of the filming team began to take pictures after boarding the plane in order to cut the material. Lin Zi also adjusted his mentality and emotions to cooperate with others' work.

After a long voyage, the group flew from China to Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean.

According to the itinerary, they will then rush to a hotel near the Staples Center, where the Grammy Organizing Committee has arranged for the nominated musicians to live.

However, when Wei Xun, Lin Zi and others rented their cars and arrived at the hotel, they were told that the hotel was full.

"How can it be full?"

Chen Tong was a little surprised when he heard that, and asked the blond girl at the front desk of the hotel: "We are the team of singer Lin Zi who has been nominated for the Grammy, and the Grammy organizing committee has promised to prepare a room for us in advance."

"Lin Zi?"

The blond front desk girl rolled her eyes indecently: "I haven't heard of it, you can go to the organizing committee to negotiate."

This is quite unreasonable.

Chen Tong's face was livid with anger, but he was obviously indifferent to answering, so she didn't bother to continue pestering, turned around and left the hotel.

Wei Xun soon heard about it.

The flight from China to the United States has a time difference of about twelve hours. Everyone is very tired after flying for so long.

Including Lin Zi, Chen Tong, and the operators of [The Sound of Music], when they heard that there was no room, their expressions became anxious.

What's more, when I got on the plane, the media gave me a good-bye from the netizens, but when I first arrived in Los Angeles, I was rejected by others, and no one could accept it.

Seeing that Chen Tong and the others were angry and wanted to negotiate with the Grammy people, Wei Xun signaled her to stop first, and asked, "Editor Chen, you know a lot about the inside world. Is there a rule that you must stay in this hotel?"

"There is no such rule."

Chen Tong said with some embarrassment: "But if we don't live in this hotel, we have to pay for the accommodation at our own expense. The cost is too high. And I think this is clearly..."

It was clearly made things difficult and discriminated against.

As for the reason, any Chinese who has ever been abroad knows that Chinese people will inevitably suffer inexplicable and unreasonable discrimination, making things difficult, and malicious in the world.

"Okay, it's important to find a place to live first, everyone needs to rest, and we will talk about the negotiation with the organizing committee later."

Chen Tong and the others were very angry, but Wei Xun was okay, he said with a smile: "Isn't it just staying in a hotel at your own expense, what a big deal, I remember we passed by a seven-star hotel just now, so let's go to that one Yes, I will pay you."
