Chapter 708

Album of the year, single of the year, production of the year, rookie of the year; Best alternative album, best ballad album.

With the album Don Quixote and the single Cleopatra, Langley won six nominations and became the biggest winner in the 54th Grammy nomination stage, even surpassing Adele and Bruno. This is definitely an epic level attention, which once again awakens people's deep memory of Leanne REMs, Nora Jones, and Jean Claude Alicia Keys——

These singers have one thing in common: with their debut album, they swept the Grammy next year, won many trophies and left their own brand in the long history of music; At the same time, these singers also represent their own artistic styles and become an indelible milestone in the music market, witnessing the changes and changes of North American pop music culture.

Leanne represented the peak of country music at that time, Nora witnessed the return of jazz, and Alicia's victory was the beginning of the rule of rhythm and blues. So, what about Langley?

At the moment of 2011, there has been no classification of "folk songs" in many sub departments of Grammy. Most of the folk songs are classified into the rock department for selection. The main reason is that Bob Dylan's integration, understanding and evolution of folk songs and rock. With the decline of folk songs, people gradually habitually put them in the branch of rock. For example, folk rock.

But this year, Grammy's nomination list witnessed not only the rise of Langley, but also the full rise of independent ballads.

Born iver, who won the rookie of the year nomination, was also shortlisted for song of the year, production of the year and best alternative album. He is a typical independent folk style. Before Grammy, this unknown singer was even more strange than Langley. His first album of the same name was released more than half a year, Sales have never been able to buy Don Quixote.

Someone once said that Langley was the biggest black horse on the nomination list, but when they saw the name of Bon iver, they changed their words and asked the same question in their minds, "who?"

Monfoy's sons, an independent folk band from London, is another dark horse. They have five nominations, including annual production, best rock performance and best rock song, which are also surprising. However, this independent folk orchestra is well-known, has made a name in the British music circle, and is also popular in North America, at least more widely known than Langley.

In addition, independent electronic rock band foster family also received two nominations.

Although Grammy has no ballad category, independent ballads have won 17 nominations this year! This is a scene that has never appeared since the 21st century!

Strictly speaking, even the rock and roll category has declined for a long time in the past decade. No matter the old band or the strong newcomer, their performance is not very good. Most of the time, they can only perform in their own categories. All the four comprehensive awards are doomed to be missed. After the millennium, only U2 and magic red are the rock bands that have won the four comprehensive awards. U2 is a Grammy favorite, and magic red has won the rookie of the year once.

However, among the nominations of the 54th Grammy, independent ballads are the best, not only in the number of nominations, but also in the four comprehensive awards.

In the annual production, Adele's "falling into the abyss", bon iver's "Bon iver", Bruno's "grenade", the sons of monfoy's "the cave", and Langley's "Cleopatra" occupy three seats.

Among the songs of the year, Kanye joined hands with Rihanna's "all of the lights", Bruno's "grenade", Adele's "falling into the abyss", bon iver's "Holocene" and Langley's "Cleopatra". Independent ballads still hold two positions.

Among the albums of the year, Adele, Bruno, flamethrowers, Langley, Miss Gaga and independent ballads still have a place.

The rookie of the year is needless to say, lanli and Bon iver are still the representatives.

Not only that, these independent folk singers, including Adele, are all from independent record companies, and the traditional five record companies are all at a disadvantage. Is this a coincidence? Or the reform of Grammy?

What kind of achievements can the outstanding independent ballads in the nomination stage achieve at the award ceremony? This is not known for the time being; Is this just a flash of inspiration from Grammy officials, or is it a firm reform heart? This is not known for the time being; Will this year's Grammy have any impact on the music market? This is still unknown for the time being.

But there is no doubt that after the nomination list came out, the albums of Bon iver, sons of monfoy, Adele and Bruno Mars all got attention again, including Langley's Don Quixote.

It can be predicted that this album will also usher in a rise in sales next week. More importantly, this week's "cancer fighting me" will also be released soon. In the short term, the name "lanli hall" will continue to brush the screen. It's really waiting to see what impact it will have on the album and award season, positive or negative.

Just as the reporters' questions during the siege of Kennedy Airport show: after the Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, lanli unexpectedly received the Emmy nominations as a singer, and it was not a random ticket nomination, but a down-to-earth and leading six nominations. Such achievements, even for professional singers, are worth celebrating, What's more, Langley is an actor?

Strangely, Lan Li's reputation went up to a higher level.

"Pacific War", "buried alive", "crazy love", "speed and passion 5"... And then "Don Quixote". Every time it's a surprise, just when people think that's all the surprise, then lanli's speed of rising momentum and fame makes people envious and amazing. What about the "cancer fighting me"?

Roy Rockley looked at lanli in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. He could not help but smile. However, the corner of his mouth still rose up involuntarily. His ragged and embarrassed appearance made people laugh. "I guess you have received the news now." Roy pursed the corners of his mouth, looking rather funny than smiling.

Lanli has a straight face and completely ignores his disorder. He has been used to laughing all the way just now. Roy is not the first one. If he doesn't take good care of himself, he won't be the last one. "Have you forgotten to tell me something? As a manager of the company? "

The calm tone with a trace of banter irony, the meaning of Lan Li expressed clearly. Roy quickly gathered a smile between the eyebrows, "sorry, my fault." There is no sophistry. I admit my mistake easily. Because of the time difference, when the Grammy nomination list was announced, it was just the time before and after their boarding. Roy had tried to contact as soon as possible, but——

Lanli is off. Nathan's cell phone is in the water again. This little time difference has created the present situation.

Behind him came the whistles of Jennifer, Donald and others, "honey, do you want to leave a picture as a souvenir?" Such an opportunity for ridicule is a once-in-a-lifetime one. If they miss it, they will never find it again. They will not worry about the consequences. It is most important to have fun in time.

Lan Li turned around and showed a polite smile, but today it seemed a bit murderous, "if necessary, I'll ask the reporters for it. After all, there are a lot of people here today. Or do you have it in your cell phones? "

Why does the neck feel chilly?

Donald was the first to wave his hand, his head like a rattle, "no, of course not."

Jennifer slapped the driver on the back. "Drive, drive. I have a bad hunch

Will, sitting in the closest position to the door, starts to close the door in a hurry. Lan Li picks his eyebrows and says, "can I help you?"

"No, no, No." Will said incoherently, and Jennifer called more quickly, "drive, drive, leave the damn door alone." As soon as she looked up, she saw lanli's polite and appropriate smile. Standing erect and erect, she raised her right hand and waved it gently, as if to say "goodbye". With a cry of "mommy", she exclaimed. Then will finally pulled up the sliding door and the car left abruptly.

Paul's voice could be heard in the distance, "see you tomorrow, Langley..." but it disappeared into the roar of the engine.

Lanli chuckled, shook his head, and said to Roy and Nathan, "come on, I need a hot bath. Relax." Although I was sleeping all the time, there was no problem with jet lag; But after the "ravages" just now, he only felt that his muscles were aching, which was much harder than practicing martial arts.

"Langley, are you going to attend this Grammy Awards ceremony?" Roy follows Langley and asks in a small chat.

"When?" Langley's attention to Grammy is not much, and his memory is very few.

"Mid February."

Lanli shrugged. "It depends on the shooting progress of tomorrow's edge. I'm not sure if it can be finished in February. Anyway, there should be no formal invitation yet? "

"Well." Roy nodded in agreement. "Teddy and I just finished talking before you came back. This time, the nomination of Grammy has caused great repercussions. Many radio programs have called to ask if you are willing to go on the program to promote it; There are also many appointments for magazine interviews. "

Nominations are not only nominations, but also a lot of business opportunities. This is true of Oscars, and so is Grammy.

This time, lanli did not hesitate, "you and Andy confirm the itinerary. This time, we only stay in New York for three days. If the itinerary is right, then I have no problem."

"Don Quixote" album, George Slade and studio 11 should still be losing money now. They have completed the album according to their own ideas, and now they have the opportunity to integrate their dreams with their lives. As for making profits, they have the opportunity to continue their dreams. Lenley has no reason to refuse.
