Chapter 853

Paul McCartney is on stage.

There is no need to say anything about this legendary star's resume and honor list. His existence itself is a legend. After the dissolution of the Beatles, as a solo singer, Paul has contributed countless classic works in the past decades. He not only reserved a seat in the rock and Roll Hall of fame early, but also has a profound influence on music lovers of later generations.

Tonight, Paul solemnly appears on the stage, as the awarding guest, unveils the final award of the whole ceremony: album of the year award!

On the stage of Grammy, the weight, weight and quality of the four comprehensive awards are unparalleled, among which the annual production award and the annual album award are slightly better. The former is the highest award specially for producers, and Adele is in her arms this year; The latter is dedicated to the artistic quality of the whole album, equivalent to the best film Oscar.

The five nominees for this year's album are Adele's "21", Bruno Mars's "doodles and hooligans", flamethrowers' "waiting light", Miss Gaga's "born this way" and Langley's "Don Quixote".

Among the five albums, "21", "doulao and hooligan" and "born perfect" are all pop styles, and all three of them are shortlisted for the best pop album competition - "21" won. Fashion and electronics are undoubtedly the main trends of today's trend, and even replace the dominant position of hip-hop and rhythm blues, dominating the whole market.

"Abandoned light" is the style of rock and roll, which has gradually declined. In the past three Grammys, there have been no nominations for the four major comprehensive awards. This year, the strength of the flamethrower band has brought rock and roll back to people's vision, at least received nominations. Of course, it also won the best rock album award.

"Don Quixote" is a folk song, which seems to have been forgotten in the long time.

The last time a folk song appeared in the nomination seat of Grammy's annual album was in 2002, a decade ago, when Bob Dylan's "love theft" was a mix of folk, rock, jazz, country and other styles; The original folk album is still Bob Dylan. His 1998 album "time out of mind" won the Grammy album of the year award, which is also the last folk album to win the album of the year award.

After the list of nominations came out, "21" is the most popular winner, while the most powerful opponent is "doulao and hooligans"; Before the end of the award ceremony, "21" is still the most popular winner, "abandoned light" has become the most powerful impact.

So, this year is the only popular one? Or rock and roll? Or

Langley went back backstage.

However, compared with just now, the situation seems to have changed slightly. The singers and staff gathered backstage came forward one after another and sincerely expressed their congratulations. The whole backstage was very busy. In a short distance from the stage to the waiting room, lanli met at least 30 people.

John Legend, who was also smiling, seemed to capture the helplessness in lanli's eyes and jokingly said, "you'll get used to it. Not because of the trophy, but because you are an actor. You know, it's like a swan in a flock of ducks, and the situation becomes more subtle

For singers, there is a gap between them and actors. They always look up involuntarily; However, a rookie of the year award, more importantly, the acceptance speech, quietly broke the gap between each other, and gradually narrowed the distance between each other. As a result, the situation changed.

Of course, as one of the four major comprehensive awards, rookie of the year is not equal to the best alternative album award. It is even more difficult than the other three comprehensive awards, because it is an award that every singer can only compete for once in his whole career: lanli, catch it.

"Are you sure I'm a swan? I feel like a kitten who refuses to go into the water. " Lanli's ridicule, once again implies his "actor" identity, but not condescending posture, but with a trace of self mocking joke, successfully made John laugh happily.

Entering the most spacious waiting room, Nathan, who was standing not far from the door, welcomed him. He could not hide his amazement and amazement. He opened his mouth wide and just sighed, but could not organize his language at all; Andy and Roy, who are standing in the bustling crowd, cast their eyes to express their astonishment.

But before they had time to talk, the bustling waiting room suddenly quieted down, and someone said, "it's about to be announced!"

As a result, Langley and John did not step forward and looked up at the big screen hanging in the corner. On the screen, Paul McCartney is opening the envelope to unveil the last and most important award of the evening. Almost everyone can't help but hold their breath:

Can Adele complete the sweep? Before that, with five nominations and five awards, can Adele continue to be strong and finish tonight's big package? Two years ago, Beyonce swept six gramophone trophies in Grammy, but left a regret. The album of the year award was lost to Taylor Swift. So this year, Adele can catch up with Beyonce's record and be called the most award-winning female singer in a single term? Can Adele's perfect night come to an end?

If... Just if, someone is cold, then who will it be?

The moment of witnessing history is always very tense. To be precise, the bystanders are even more nervous than the parties.

Lanli looked around the waiting room for a week. Everyone was so nervous that even the heart beat and breath seemed to have completely disappeared; Before that, Langley always felt like a spectator.

But at this moment, I can't help thinking of the synchronous picture of the Pioneer Village, which must be very interesting; And heather, if she's sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the last prize, it must be very funny.

Gradually, Lan Li began to be involved in it. He was no longer a spectator, but a participant. He really felt the tension, the expectation and the excitement, just like the wings of a butterfly, and began to stir up.

Grammy, unprecedented reality and clarity, even the gramophone trophy in hand seems to start to burn up.

"Tear", Paul opened the envelope, pulled out the card, did not deliberately create suspense, looked down to read the card, and then raised his voice and said, "the 54th Grammy, the winner of the album of the year is..." Paul seemed to be a little presbyopia, had to pull the card a little further, frowned and read it carefully to confirm the winner.

Unintentionally, this small action made the whole air solidify. The sweat of the palm and the heart of the chest were compressed to the extreme. If it was not released, it seemed that it would burst. It's only half a second, but it seems like a long century has passed. Then at the speed of ten times slow lens, I see Paul close to the microphone and announce the result.

"Don Quixote, Langley hall."

Time, at this moment stopped down, solidified down, even the flow of air has lost its meaning; The brain stops completely, interprets, thinks, aftertastes, reacts... And then gradually understands what these words mean. In a flash, the applause of the tsunami broke out.

Folk songs, Grammy chose folk songs. Since 1998, after 14 years, Grammy has once again presented its annual album to a folk song album, an independent folk song, a popular music style, a work without publicity or stage assignment, a work that truly returns to music and adheres to music, and a work that reawakes people's enthusiasm for music.

Bold, crazy, bold.

At the age of 54, Grammy shows incredible courage and determination. In this year's list of winners, a group of 22-year-old and 23-year-old young people are popular. Rock and folk music are back in people's sight, and music seems to be back in the purest era.

It's just about music.

"Ah, ah The entire waiting room, like a volcanic eruption, exploded vigorously, complementing the audience at the venue, and the entire staples stadium began to shake.

Nathan conditionally hugged Lan Li, but he couldn't say a word. He couldn't even make a sound. Suddenly, he began to cry and couldn't help himself; Even Roy and Andy are stunned in the same place, at a loss, at a loss, the focus in the line of sight gradually begins to become blurred.

Such joy, too sudden, too fierce.

Everyone in the waiting room rushed up and congratulated Lan Li crazily; In the turbulent crowd, John Legend kept a little calm, supported Langley and quickly left the waiting room, then raised his voice and said, "come on to the stage, this is your time!" John patted blue on the back heavily, a simple action, but it contained all the congratulations and excitement.

For John, the victory of ballads is more than a trophy.

John is no longer lonely. He is also a Don Quixote. Now he has found another Don Quixote. Behind the bright smile, a burst of warm eyes, heavily, heavily patted blue Li's arm again, "go quickly!"

Joy, until now, Langley really felt that kind of crazy joy, just like the Emmy, just like Sundance, just like the Berlin Film Festival. He won, as a singer, as a dreamer, he won, on the Grammy stage.

This sense of reality, unprecedented impact to the chest, flaming up.

Langley forced himself to calm down, but it was not an easy thing. He turned around, gave John the gramophone trophy in his hand, and then stepped forward again and accelerated toward the stage. However, the fingers began to shake uncontrollably.

He won the prize as a singer.
