Chapter 562 You Really Can't Be Too Confident in Being a Human Being!
The Grammy Awards.
Chen Minhao was wearing a black casual top and dark blue jeans, sitting in the third row and applauding.
Compared with the other guests, he seemed a bit out of place.
Looking around, in the entire awards ceremony, the Caucasian guests accounted for the majority, and there were also a few black guests, but the yellow people like Chen Minhao were the least, which can be said to be rare.
Another reason for the incompatibility is that Chen Minhao's dress is really too casual. It formed a sharp contrast with other people's grand or peculiar dresses.
But in fact, this is an easter egg planted by Chen Minhao for "Love Before Dawn".
Today's attire is the attire of the male protagonist Li Changgeng in the movie.
Chen Minhao plans to use this as a singular point, and after the movie is released, he can take advantage of the popularity of the Grammys to promote the movie.
The Grammy process is no different from previous years.
The host warmed up, special guests performed, and the award presenters presented awards in a way that whetted the audience's appetite.
The most important awards of the Grammy Awards are the four major awards: Album of the Year, Production of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Newcomer.
But in addition to the four major categories of awards, there are also subdivisions of pop, rock, R&B, rap, country, gospel, jazz, Latin, classical and other music.
Taking pop music as an example, there are awards for best pop singer, best pop band/combination, best pop vocal album, best pop instrumental performance, and best traditional pop vocal album.
There are really too many awards.
Chen Minhao sitting under the stage seemed to be an emotionless applause machine.
Soon, it was time to announce the first heavyweight award, the Album of the Year Award.
Rachel who was sitting next to Chen Minhao looked a little nervous. This is the second time she has been shortlisted for the Album of the Year Award. Compared with the joy of "being shortlisted is sure" last time, because she has expectations this time, she is a little nervous.
Rachel's album has been polished for three years. In Chen Minhao's opinion, it is better than other shortlisted albums in terms of sales volume and quality.
Unless an accident happens and the award is upset, Rachel is sure to win the award.
There are so many surprises in this world!
The award presenters on the podium called out Rachel's name.
After hearing her name, Rachel couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. She immediately got up and walked quickly to the podium.
Rachel had tears in her eyes when she delivered her speech. And Chen Minhao enthusiastically applauded in the audience.
After Rachel stepped down, she gave Chen Minhao a warm hug.
And Chen Minhao also whispered: "Congratulations."
Rachel also responded in a low voice: "I hope you can win an award later."
Since the award presentation on the stage was still going on, the two should not chat for too long, so Chen Minhao nodded and sat down.
But Chen Minhao knew in his heart that there was almost no chance of him winning the prize, unless there was a pie in the sky.
This year's Grammy "Song of the Year" award was dubbed by the media as a battle for soul music.
Soul is a genre of music that combines R&B and gospel music, characterized by clapping and clapping.
The reason why it is called the battle of soul music is that the singers Van Brown and Morrison James, who are shortlisted for the best song of the year this year, are both representatives of soul music.
When Van Brown was not famous, he admitted on a show that Morrison James was his idol. But in terms of sales, the sales of Van Brown singles are better than Morrison James.
The best song of the year is originally a heavyweight Grammy award, but this year it has added the story of "competing with idols", which makes the best song of the year the most anticipated award this year.
When the awards ceremony came to the award of "Best Song of the Year", the award presenters present at the same time looked at Van Brown and Morrison James respectively.
Chen Minhao looked at Van Brown, thinking that he had a higher probability of winning the prize.
Chen Minhao has heard both of their songs. The two songs are of the same type, but Van Brown's song has made a slight innovation in the style of soul music, and this innovation is just right.
Stevens, the award presenter on the stage, looked up at the audience, and said in a calm voice: "The winner of the best song of the year this year is"
He draws out his voice, first looking at Van Brown.
Van Brown suddenly became short of breath.
Then Stevens looked at Morrison James again.
Morrison James felt his blood pressure rise and his heart beat faster.
After Stevens paused for a few seconds, he raised his volume and said in a passionate voice, "It's "I'm yours" by Chen. Let us give warm applause to this young man from China."
As soon as Stevens finished speaking, there was thunderous applause at the Grammy Awards.
The audience present looked sideways at Chen Minhao and gave their warmest applause.
All the guests present looked at Chen Minhao, Morrison James and Van Brown with great interest.
The award for the best song of the year was a surprise!
In Chen Minhao's previous life, a great writer once said two sentences: "China will never lack people watching the excitement!" Come and see."
But in fact, in any corner of the world, there will be no shortage of spectators. And everyone's posture to watch the fun is the same!
Hearing his name, Chen Minhao was stunned.
Rachel gently pushed Chen Minhao with her elbow, and he "woke up".
Damn, the sky is really pie!
Although his heart was turbulent, he immediately managed his expressions and tried his best to put a calm smile on his face.
Chen Minhao walked towards the podium, slowly adjusting his breathing while walking.
After he calmed down a bit, he discovered a fatal problem.
Because he was too confident about not being able to win the award before, he did not prepare his acceptance speech at all.
You really can't be too confident in being a human being!
Chen Minhao's seat was not far from the awarding platform, and he had already walked to the awarding platform before he could figure out what was going on in his heart.
Stevens handed the trophy to Chen Minhao with both hands, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Chen."
Chen Minhao solemnly took the trophy with both hands, then held the trophy in his left hand, and shook hands with Stevens vigorously with his right hand.
"Thanks."
Stevens smiled and said, "You shouldn't thank me. You should thank the Grammy judges."
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, and there was another round of warm applause on the stage.
Stevens handed the microphone to Chen Minhao, indicating that he could give his acceptance speech.
"First of all, I would like to thank Jessica Lee, the director of the film, who wrote and directed "Love Before Dawn" and gave me the inspiration for the song "I'm yours"."
First, I have to promote the movie.
"Secondly, I would like to thank my agent Kang Hui, and everyone who has worked with me."
After all, you have taken so many scapegoats for me.
"Finally, I want to thank my friends who have always supported me."
I hope you can accompany me to the day when I become a global superstar!
