It's a retro gramophone with streamlined lines, elegant and quiet gold, and a simulation effect of fake and real, but the overall feel is not heavy, and even lighter than expected - compared with the Silver Bear award of Berlin Film Festival; However, the luster and texture are shining under the bright light, as if you can see the flowing time rippling in the golden light.
Gently, the gramophone trophy so gently fell in the palm of my heart, the slightest sense of reality. Without any preparation at all, he fell into the pattern of being unprepared.
Standing in front of the microphone, Lan Li was a little stunned for a moment, as if trying to digest the shock of such an accident. "Officially, I know nothing about the contents of the envelope just now."
Subtext is to say: I did not manipulate the award results; Further explanation is: are you sure you didn't announce the wrong result?
An understatement of the speech, the audience sounded a low light laughter.
Lan Li raised his head and looked at the dark audience. Different from the round table meeting of Golden Globe Awards, Grammy is a concert scene. The arrangement of all seats, the arrangement of lighting and the atmosphere of the scene are all like this. The upsurge and storm coming in all directions make it more and more incredible.
"Thank you. I mean, thank you Lanli tried to organize his own language, but then found that he repeated the same words. He couldn't help closing his eyes and sketching a smile at the corner of his mouth. "I guess there is no laughter now, which proves that my reaction is not too strange." This time, laughter reverberated throughout the staples stadium.
Lan Li shook his head gently. Surprise and joy, surprise and excitement, amazement and excitement slowly settled down. "Tonight, I thought I was a spectator, but now it seems that I am a participant." "Don Quixote's album has won too much love and support, far beyond expectations. It's my pleasure, God. The last time I bought a ballad album, it was Bob Dylan
This exclamation, the audience clapped their hands and laughed, a pun: on the one hand is to tease the winning accident, on the other hand is to tease the decline of folk songs.
"Don Quixote's producer, George strand, once said that music that is really made with heart will always be heard. I think tonight proved that he was right Lanli finally recovered and his thoughts became clear. "For Don Quixote, it's sad that no one in the world can understand his memory and persistence of chivalry; But for this album, fortunately, millions of listeners have heard the voice of the music. "
"So hopefully this is the beginning. One day in the distant future, bon iver, the radio commander, the foster family, the death taxi of pretty girl, the civil war band and the son of Montfort will be able to compete in their respective categories of music, rather than piling up together to compete for the best alternative album award. "
Lan Li's words were so simple, but so powerful. Finally, he said with a smile, "because we are not different."
After that, Lan Li nodded, turned around and left the stage under the guidance of the emcee.
It wasn't until lanli's steps were about to disappear on the stage that the audience responded. In a flash, the applause swept in. This speech is too shocking, but also too enlightening.
When the 54th annual Grammy nomination list was officially announced, the industry was exclaiming: the strong rise of independent ballads, especially the bands from unknown independent music companies, received a lot of affirmation on this year's Grammy. Corresponding to the pop music represented by Adele and Bruno, the past 2011 also ushered in the full outbreak of independent folk songs.
This is not only the revival of folk power, but also the rise of independent music. As Langley said: real music always has a real listener.
Over the past decade, Grammy has been slimming down. This year, it has cut nearly one-third of its awards, 109 awards and only 78 awards. This is no doubt the result of commercial considerations and broadcasting considerations, and all those who suffer are independent music.
For example, ballad category, jazz category, soul category and so on have all been cut a lot of awards, leaving only one best album award; For example, rock and roll, folk songs, orchid grass and other special music categories are all roughly classified as the best alternative album Awards - the problem is that the alternative music department has only one award.
The so-called best alternative album award was originally set up specifically to include all the minority, unpopular and independent music categories. Now it's getting worse.
For minority musicians, even their living space almost disappeared. In the past, they could at least win Grammy nominations, build on them, attract more attention and launch free publicity. More or less, nominations can boost sales and attention.
Lanli's interview on the red carpet is not aimless.
This year, there is a sharp contrast between the rise of ballads and the slimming of Grammy. Before the award ceremony, many independent music media were worried. Now, on top of the award ceremony, Langley directly expressed his views, using "Don Quixote" as a metaphor for real art lovers.
So, the whole audience applauded!
For Lan Li, he was more surprised than happy; Besides excitement, it is more of an accident; Thank you, more aftertaste. As an actor, every award of Emmy, Sundance and Berlin Film Festival brings moving and exciting; As a singer, the Grammy trophy awakens every bit of the road of making Don Quixote.
The first reaction in my mind is not that I won the prize; It's George strand, Herbert Jones, Stanley Charlson, Neil Tucson, Heather cross... And even ed Sheeran, whose persistence and persistence have finally been responded to.
Their dream came true through the hands of lanli. This kind of feeling, really too special, is stirring in the chest, the kind of overflowing to the dull and painful taste, language can not describe.
It's 15 minutes before you leave the stage, leave the backstage and go back to your seat again.
Annie and Alex looked at lanli from front to back, looking for the "lost" trophy. They even raised the back of lanli's suit, which really made lanli laugh and cry, "it's backstage." Langley had to explain.
Andy, Roy and Nathan are even more surprised than Langley. It's estimated that the dislocated jaw can't be put back for a while.
The award ceremony is still going on, and the awards for rhythm and blues are very similar to those for rural areas.
CEE Lo Green has included the best traditional R & B singer and the best R & B songs; British talented woman Corinne Bailey Rae won the best rhythm and blues performance award; As for the best rhythm album, Chris Browns won the award.
On the eve of last year's Grammy, Chris Brown had a dispute with his girlfriend Rihanna. Chris fought each other, causing serious domestic violence, which directly led to Rihanna's almost disfigurement; He was later sentenced to five years' probation plus six months of community work. The bad boy of Vanity Fair has always been the target of public criticism.
A year later, Chris got his first phonograph in his music career with his fourth album.
Shiloh Green has undoubtedly become the biggest winner of rhythm and blues.
On the other hand, rap awards echo the rock and roll category. Kanye West, who is far ahead of the seven nominations in the nomination stage, continues to be strong and sweeps the whole army, including all four rap awards.
For the best rap performance, Kanye and Jay-Z won the prize; Kanye won the best rap Cooperation Award for his work with Rihanna and Fergie; In addition, Kanye also won the best rap song and best rap album.
Obviously, the biggest winner in the nomination stage, Kanye is still the focus of attention above the award ceremony.
In the following dance music awards, the newcomer skillex won in a dark horse manner, beating the powerful rivals such as Miss Gaga and David Guetta, including the best dance music production and the best electronic dance music album. In addition, there is also a best non classical mixed record award.
So, Stryker got three gramophones.
From Langley to Shrek, Grammy Awards new people, and is showing their boldness and hard work. Perhaps, the future expected in lanli's acceptance speech is coming bit by bit.
Finally came the most popular and fierce Pop Awards: Adele and Bruno are two popular singers of the Department. Among the four awards, the two will fight head-on in the best pop album and best pop singer departments, which is undoubtedly the highlight of tonight's award ceremony.
The best pop group singing award was first presented by veteran jazz singer Tony Bennett and the late British singer Amy Winehouse; The best traditional pop album award was also won by Tony Bennett's album released last year.
And then——
Adele beat Miss Gaga, Bruno Mars, Katie Perry and pink to win the second prize tonight. Prior to that, Adele had won the best short Music Video Award.
The best pop album award, Adele, Shiloh green, Rihanna, Gaga miss, Bruno Mars these five nominees bayonet red duel, Adele once again laugh to the end, harvest the third phonograph at the same time, also became tonight's four major comprehensive category awards the biggest competitor.
Adele and Bruno, who also received six nominations, were completely defeated in the confrontation.
It's not that Bruno is not good enough, but that Adele is too strong this year, almost making a brilliant appearance. What about the final four comprehensive awards?
