China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 206 The arrogant Jie Lun

noon.

After bidding farewell to Wanda's team, Lu Yuan stayed in the company for a while, then changed into a dress sponsored by the endorsement brand and prepared to attend the China Song Chart Award Ceremony to be held at the Workers' Stadium tonight.

Throughout 08, although Boss Lu's career focus was not on the Chinese music scene, he still won six nominations for "The Road Is Still Long".

The annual Chinese Song List is undoubtedly a grand event for musicians.

Cheng Long, Xu Wei, JJ Lin, Milk Cha Lun, SHE, Wang Banbi, Wu Yuetian, Chen Yixun and other first-line singers were present.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yuan and Xu Song appeared on the red carpet together.

As soon as King Lu Tian appeared, the screams on the scene got a little louder.

After taking pictures, signing autographs, and interviewing, Lu Yuan led Xu Song into the venue and sat in the first row.

That's right next to Milk Tea Lun.

"Jie Lun, I wish you a happy birthday in advance."

Jay Chou glanced down at Lu Yuan's empty hands, and then complained: "Do you usually celebrate other people's birthdays like this?"

"Haha, there must be a gift."

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously: "However, we have to keep it a secret first. You will know it on the day of your birthday party."

Hearing this, Jay Chou shrugged and then changed the subject.

"February 2th, are you free?"

When Lu Yuan heard this date, his first thought was not Valentine's Day, but Milk Tea Lun's concert in Pengcheng.

Then, he thought about the last time Milk Cha Lun stayed up late to catch a plane.

The last premiere, as soon as the Milk Tea Lun concert ended, I boarded a flight and flew to Yanjing.

"available."

"Are you interested in coming to my concert?" Jay Chou smiled slightly.

Seeing this smile, Lu Yuan always felt that his smile was a bit funny.

"OK."

According to the previous schedule, Lu Yuan will go to America to attend the Grammy Awards on February 2th, Yanjing time.

If Lu Yuan wants to go to the concert on February 2, he will have to fly to Pengcheng immediately as soon as the Grammy Awards is over.

After all, guests also have to rehearse.

Including the flight, we fly on the 10th, arrive on the 12th, Yanjing time, rest for half a day + rehearsal on the 13th, and perform on the 14th.

Time tightly.

Milk Tea Lun is indeed arrogant enough.

We need to fight for this too.

"Hey, are you really free?"

When Lu Yuan agreed, Milk Cha Lun was surprised. Of course he knew about Lu Yuan's schedule. He just wanted to tease Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan changed his smile to the same one and joked: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you touch the freshly baked Grammy trophy."

In last month's Grammy nomination list, Boss Lu received a total of seven nominations.

Among them, the four most important general categories are all shortlisted.

According to classification, the Grammy Awards can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first category is special awards, including Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Director Award, Technical Award, Legend Award, Hall of Fame, etc.

These awards are usually given to seniors who have made special contributions to the music industry.

The second category is the general category awards, which are the Four Major Awards, commonly known as the Big Four Awards. This is also the most important and most interesting award in every Grammy session.

The first of the four awards is Album of the Year. This award is nominally awarded to the singer, but to be precise, it is awarded to the singer, album co-singer, and the entire album's songwriter and producer team.

Of course, if a singer like Boss Lu is the singer, songwriter, and producer, the award is indeed awarded to one person.Boss Lu was nominated for Album of the Year this year with "Lucas·LU".

The second highlight of the year is the production of the year. The awards are given to the singers who performed the singles and the production team.

Lu Yuan was shortlisted for production of the year with his single "not afraid".

(PS: In China, this award is literally translated as Record of the Year. In fact, it has nothing to do with records. It is a single award)

The third of the four awards is Song of the Year. This award is also a single award, but it is awarded to the songwriter of the song.

Lu Tianwang was shortlisted for this award as the songwriter of "not afraid".

The final highlight of the four major categories is Best Newcomer.

According to the Grammy selection rules, Lu Yuan is the undisputed newcomer, so of course he can be selected as the "Best Newcomer".

Although it is rare for one person to win all four major category nominations, it is not unheard of in the history of the Grammys.

Not to mention the four nominations, there is no record of one person winning all four general categories.

In 1981, Christopher Cross dominated the four major categories alone, setting a moderate historical record.

As of today, no one has replicated this record.

Even with Lu Yuan's phenomenal performance last year, most media are still not optimistic about him.

Among the four general categories, the Best Newcomer category should be the least suspenseful.

If Lu Yuan fails to win "Best New Artist", he will probably be ridiculed by the crowd after the awards ceremony.

In the other two general categories [Production of the Year] and [Song of the Year], Boss Lu’s competitive advantage is also obvious.

The concept of "Not Afraid" is very foul. In America, racial issues are politically correct.

Whether Lu Yuan can win all four major categories depends on [Album of the Year].

Among the shortlist for this award, there is a pair that is very foul.

Robert Anthony, a famous rock band in Eagle Country in the 70s and former lead singer of Led Zeppelin.

At the end of 07, the album "Raising Sand" co-produced by him and leading American country singer Alison Krauss was nominated for "Album of the Year".

The production team for this album is extremely luxurious, including guitarists, accordionists, etc., everyone is a big star.

The album debuted and debuted at number two on the Billboard album chart.

It has both artistry and popularity. According to the Grammy rankings, this album is a big hit for [Album of the Year].

Therefore, the outside world generally believes that Lu Yuan cannot repeat the miracle of monopolizing the four major categories by one person.

Lu Yuan himself thinks so too.

Do you really think that foreigners don’t talk about seniority?
As one of the most influential and creative bands in the rock music scene, Led Zeppelin's influence is no less than that of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

If the European and American music circles were to rank the five greatest rock bands, no matter how they were ranked, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin would be indispensable.

Robert Anthony is 61 years old this year. He and Alison Krauss are exactly 99 years old together.

It's no shame to lose to such a combination.

In addition to the four general categories, Lu Tianwang was also shortlisted for the pop category [Best Pop Male Singer], [Best Pop Album] and the rock category [Best Rock Song].

The reason why Lu Yuan was not nominated for other specific categories such as electronic dance music and rap was not that he was not good at singing, but that he did not sign up to participate at all.

The Grammy Awards are also registration-based.

If a singer does not sign up for a certain award, no matter how good the song or album is, it will not be included in the selection list.

the other side.

Hearing Lu Yuan mention Grammy, Milk Cha Lun immediately tilted his head proudly, leaving a piece of the back of his head for Lu Yuan.

[I don’t want to talk to the pretender].
