Chapter 192 New History of Chinese Music Scene

same day.

Boss Lu flew to America again.

Asked for leave again.

That is Lu Yuan. If it were anyone else, Cai Yinong would definitely be furious.

At the beginning of the month, I took four days off.

At the end of the month, take five days off.

Come and go, ten days gone.

numb!

People are numb!
However, facing Boss Lu, Cai Yinong could only hold back.

no way.

Who makes people famous?

What's more, Lu Yuan didn't ask for leave without reason. The first time he asked for leave was to cooperate with the promotion of "Star You".

The second time I took leave was to go to America to attend the awards ceremony and rehearsal.

At this year's American Music Awards, Lu Yuan was invited as the opening guest to sing "unstoppable" on stage.

The reason why I sang this song instead of the championship single "Not Afraid" is that the operation of Porsche is indispensable.

After all, this song is a global promotional song for Porsche.

The promotion effect of "unstoppable" is good. In the third quarter of this year, Porsche's global sales surged by 10%, especially in Greater China, where sales increased by nearly 30%.

If only the Cayenne series is counted, sales in Greater China surged by 100%.

(PS: In 08, Porsche sold more than 7000 vehicles in the mainland throughout the year, so a 100% increase is not too outrageous)

According to reports from Max, Porsche intends to invite Lu Yuan to serve as the global spokesperson for the Porsche Cayenne.

Currently, the two parties are fighting over endorsement fees.

Porsche's quotation is US$350 million per year. Of course, Universal disagrees with this price.

Universal directly stated that if it is less than US$500 million, no negotiation is required.

The quoted price is US$500 million, and Universal is certainly not making random bids.

As of today, the sales of Lu Yuanying's first album in North America have exceeded 300 million+. This album is also America's first champion album with sales exceeding 300 million in the whole year.

Ranked No. 2 is rapper Lil Wayne, with album sales of 280 million+.

There is only about a month left until the end of December. According to Lil Wayne's album sales trend, it is basically impossible for him to surpass Lu Yuan.

In third place is Coldplay, whose sales last week barely exceeded 200 million, a huge gap from the top two.

Therefore, if there are no accidents, Lu Yuan will be the sales champion in North America this year!

And this is only Lu Yuan’s first year of debut.

An artist's commercial endorsement contract is the result of comprehensive considerations. Personal potential is also an important reference standard for quotations.

Why did Porsche sign a two-year contract with 350 million for a newcomer with such strong momentum?
After arriving in America, Lu Yuan rested for an hour and immediately got into rehearsal work.

At this year's American Music Awards, Universal Music Group was the leader.

Newcomer Lu Yuan received five nominations, rock band The Eagles received three nominations, and diva Rihanna received two nominations.

Mariah Carey - Two nominations.

Kanye West – One nomination.

Jay-Z – One nomination

Among the five major record companies, Universal Music leads the way with 14 nominations, among which Lu Yuan alone holds five.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan's sudden emergence, Universal Music would probably lose to Sony this year.

After all, Sony has an ace up its sleeve, too, with Alicia Keys also leading the female vocal category with five nominations.

11 month 23 number.

Starting around [-] p.m., the outside of the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles was crowded with media and fans from far and wide.

America's red carpet is also a place of fame and fortune, especially for the female stars.

However, compared to the Oscar ceremony, the red carpet of the music awards is slightly better, and there are rarely any announcements such as pornography.

After all, singers mainly rely on their voices to conquer their fans.

Those idol singers who win by their appearance are also at the bottom of the contempt chain in America.

At today's awards ceremony, apart from Lu Yuan, the singers who received the most attention were not Alicia, but Chris Brown and Rihanna.

One of them is a little diva, and the other is an R&B king. Their relationship was exposed and attracted a lot of attention.

At about [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yuan and Taylor appeared on the red carpet together. As soon as the two appeared, they immediately caused a scream.

After a while, the two of them left their signatures on the signature wall and then came to the media interview area.Lu Yuan didn't know the host arranged by the organizer. He was said to be the host of a talk show and was very famous in America.

"HO!HO!"

"LU, as a newcomer who has just debuted, you have been nominated for five awards for the first time. How do you feel now?"

"very excited."

At this time, Lu Yuan, possessed by the movie king, expressed his inner turmoil.

"Cool!"

"Okay, now it's prediction time, LU, how many awards do you think you can win tonight?"

"Well."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "This question should not be asked to me, but to the fans."

With that said, Lu Yuan waved towards the audience area.

"Gus, you guys said that, right?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of whistles and screams.

After a while, the interview ended, and Lu Yuan and Taylor walked into the venue arm in arm.

Throughout the entire interview, the media did not take advantage of him. Instead, it was the young Taylor who found a breakthrough.

When the media asked about the rumors of an affair between the two, Taylor said, "I don't mind if it's true," which immediately made the reporters at the scene feel like a treasure.

Although Lu Yuan and Taylor didn't meet much, they contacted each other through emails and phone calls a lot.

Do not misunderstand.

The communication between the two was limited to music.

In terms of arranging, Taylor did steal a lot.

However, Boss Lu would not give her a chance to enter the division.

After entering, Lu Yuan first said hello to the lead singers of the Eagles, and then got into the backstage.

As the first guest to perform on stage, Boss Lu still felt a little bit stressed.

……

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The dark stage suddenly lit up with a beam of light, and Lu Yuan appeared on stage wearing a red embroidered suit.

"I'll smile, I know what it takes to fool this town..."

Immediately afterwards, an a cappella performance directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Singing a cappella is the best way to test a singer's singing skills.

After debuting for more than a year, Lu Yuan's singing skills have improved further and he has officially entered the S-level echelon.

As far as singing skills are concerned, there are not many people in the music world who can surely beat him.

If you are in good condition, even if you meet a top S+ level singer, you can still win [-]-[-].

At the end of the 4-minute performance, Lu Yuan bowed slightly to the audience and then returned to the backstage.

When he appeared again, he was already in the guest seat, and at this time, the first award had already begun to be awarded on the stage.

Best Soul/R&B Female Vocalist Award!

The guest presenter at the awards ceremony was Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, who is also a big star in America and spans the fields of actor, singer and host.

And, there are achievements in every field.

Jamie shook off some baggage before officially announcing the winners.

"Best Female Soul/R&B Vocalist goes to Rihanna!"

"Congratulations!"

Routinely go on stage, receive awards, deliver acceptance speeches, followed by two more rounds of performances.

At the end of the performance, the second award of the night is about to be awarded, and it is also the first award related to Lu Yuan.

Best Pop/Rock Male Vocalist Award!
The award guest is also an old acquaintance, Mariah Carey.

Compared to Jamie Foxx, who is a professional host, Sister Niu is much more efficient in awarding awards. After saying a few simple words, she opened the envelope in her hand with a smile.

At the same time, three split screens appeared on the rear screen.

Chris Brown, Usher, and Lu Yuan's MVs appeared one after another, and then the live camera focused on the three of them.

"The winner of the award for Best Male Pop/Rock Vocalist is..."

"Far and away!"
