Chapter 849

The Grammy Awards ceremony begins.

Bruce Springsteen is the opening guest of the annual music feast.

This music superstar has an irreplaceable high status in the United States. He has not only won the recognition of Grammy and Oscar for many times as a singer, but also has an unshakable strong appeal among the masses. Worldwide, his album has sold 120 million copies.

Tonight, taking on the responsibility of Grammy's opening performance, Bruce didn't let people down. A popular golden melody was released one after another. It took only 60 seconds to turn the whole audience into a party scene.

All of us are swaying with the rhythm, singing loudly, selflessly and enjoying freely, just like the Brazilian Carnival Carnival! Different from the award ceremony of movie and TV, the entertainment property of music party makes everyone roll up their sleeves, raise their hands, leave the chair, loosen the shackles, and really participate in it.

Bruce Springsteen's brilliant opening performance is full of excitement, dynamism and grandeur! This seems to have set the tone of the whole award ceremony tonight.

After the opening performance, the rap singer James Todd Smith (stage name: ll-cool-j), the first official host of Grammy in nearly seven years, appeared in a black suit and began tonight's opening speech with a mournful tone. "It's a pity that someone in our big family has left."

On the big screen, Whitney Houston began to sing her masterpiece "i-will-always-love-you", and the audience quietly enjoyed and prayed. After the show, James said, "Whitney, we will always love you."

From Bruce Springsteen to Whitney Houston, including the host James Todd Smith, the 54th Grammy made its debut in a retro way. These three singers have awakened memories of the last glory of the music market in the 1990s.

Bruno Mars, who came on stage immediately after, represents the present of the new generation of singers in the 21st century. The first 20 minutes, Grammy completed from the past to the present gorgeous turn.

After the performance, the awards officially began.

For Langley, tonight is the complete spectator. In fact, Lan Li knows that he has won six nominations, because people around him have repeatedly said that "six nominations" has been deeply imprinted in his mind; However, he didn't remember which six nominations were, and didn't care much about them - they were running with him anyway.

Not only stable mentality, but also relaxed. Even, Langley has leisure to chat with Alex and Annie“ The saying "chatting" is not very accurate. It should be that they really watch the performance, and when they encounter problems, they look up and ask one after another, while Lan Li will answer them seriously.

But to be honest, Lan Li's understanding of the music field can only be regarded as ordinary.

Among the first country category awards, Taylor Swift, who has been booming in recent years, has won the best country singer and best country song awards; The prewar goddess, who swept five Grammy trophies last year, has only won the best country album award this year.

In addition, the civil wars won the best country group performance award with its new album's title song "Barton hollow", and also won the best Folk Album award.

It's worth mentioning that if Annie didn't take the initiative to remind, Langley didn't notice that the first nomination for Don Quixote came out, the best Folk Album award.

Therefore, when the awarding guests announced that "courtyard Valley" won the award, lanli was not disappointed or surprised. He applauded and congratulated Annie, and explained to Annie, "their first album is very excellent. It seems that the second album is also worth looking forward to. I should go back to the record shop to find some vinyl records. "

There is no doubt that Taylor is the biggest winner in the rural category; However, the victory of the civil war group once again continued the momentum of the rise of Grammy ballads this year.

Among the rock awards that followed, the Grammy favorites U2 and Bruce Springsteen didn't launch their works last year, which also made the flamethrower band brilliant - they won four trophies: the best rock performance, the best hard rock metal performance, the best rock song and the best rock album, There is also a best long Music Video Award.

With ease, the flamethrowers completed all the rock awards.

When he beat Coldplay, son of monfoy, radio commander and others to win the best rock song award, David Gru, the home of flamethrower, made a special mention of the declining city of sound.

"I have to thank Butch Vig for recording this song. Twenty years ago, we finished Nirvana's nevermind recording in the city of sound; Twenty years later, we went back to the garage and finished recording the album. The decline of the city of sound records the end of an era.

However, I'm very happy tonight, because I saw another recorded work of the city of sound again, and gained recognition.

Langley hall, everyone is talking about what the actor is doing; But I have to say that he is a real music lover. He knows how to appreciate the charm of the city of sound and the soul of music itself. The significance of the city of sound is far greater than the recording and performance in front of the computer.

So let's wait and see! "

Originally, it was the time for the flamethrowers to win the prize, but the name of "Langley hall" took up most of the space. All the guests on the scene were stunned and looked at Lan Li's position one after another: what's the matter? How did Langley get to know David? And David was full of praise? Isn't Langley a complete outsider?

Even Anne asked curiously, "Langley, do you know him?"

"We met before." Lanli said with a smile.

At the beginning, when recording "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" in the city of sound, Langley and David had a brief conversation. However, as time goes by, they hardly meet each other. Lanli never thought that David not only remembered himself, but also was so impressed. Langley strongly suspected that Herbert Jones had been talking in front of David?

Just when Langley thought that all the rock related awards had been awarded, his name came from the stereo, "Langley hall," Don Quixote. "

The next second, the spotlight is focused; At the same time, the cameraman also carried the camera to move quickly, and found the target person in the crowd. In a flash, lanli stood in the focus of attention. Everything happened too suddenly without any warning. Even if he was calm and calm, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes

It's not a planned link.

Annie and Alex were very excited, clapping their hands and screaming excitedly, "blue, blue!" The applause at the scene was not too enthusiastic, which also made the two little guys' voices sharp and harsh, causing a good laugh among the guests around.

After a short period of stupefaction, Lan Li rationally looked at the big screen, and then found the answer:

Best alternative album. Langley hall, Don Quixote.

It's Don Quixote's second nomination tonight, beating Bon iver, radio commander, foster family, Death Cab for Cutie, and Langley Hall's first gramophone trophy at the Grammy Awards.

Amazement, surprise, loss, confusion. Many emotions reverberated in his chest, but lanli kept calm, left his position, left his position in the gaze, and went to the aisle and stage.

Tonight, Langley is the focus of attention, but not a popular superstar. His seat is on the left side of the third row, with the American indie band the black keys on the right and the British singer Robyn on the left. It's not a core location, but it's not remote.

Smile to the members of the black key band apologized, and they took the initiative to applaud congratulations. Lanli came to the corridor, and then saw a man standing up in the central area. He raised his hands high and clapped hard. He was the only one standing up in a large circle nearby, standing out from the crowd and standing out. Lanli saw it at a glance.

Ludacris.

"Speed and passion 5" once had a small partner in cooperation, but he has always been a fan - Diesel supporters. In addition to his role as an actor, he is actually an excellent rapper. His albums and singles have achieved great success on the billboard, and three Grammy trophies have been recorded.

Did not expect that two people outside Hollywood, in such an unexpected way to meet again. Ludacris gave a round of applause, and Langley gave thanks with a smile.

Similar venues, similar ceremonies, similar scenes, but different feelings. Lan Li always had a sense of alienation, as if he didn't belong here, but participated in it. The feeling was really subtle and indescribable.

When he stepped onto the stage, lanli saw the awarding guest, Katie Perry.

Katie showed a big smile, open mouth, open hands at the same time, made a hug gesture; Lan Li spread out his hands and cast his confused eyes, as if to say, "what's the matter? Are you sure you read it right? "

This one look made Katie look up and laugh happily. She came forward and gave lanli a hug. "Don't worry, I'm not wrong." Katie yelled at Langley, "Congratulations! It's a very, very good album, and I'm serious

Then, Katie took the trophy from the master of ceremonies and handed it to lanli. She once again congratulated him with a smile, "this is your moment! Congratulations

Lan Li's smile was absurd and helpless, and he was flattered and flustered. "Thank you. I wish you good luck in the future." Lan Li opened his mouth and answered, expressing his blessing.
