Chapter 246： competitor

Standing in the photo zone on the red carpet, the reporters' right index finger seemed to be glued to the shutter button, capturing every moment of Evan-Bell's dynamic at an astonishing frequency of two to three times per second.

After Evan-Bell posed in all three directions, he raised his feet and was about to leave, but the amazing thing was that almost all the reporters said in unison, "Please stay for a while." This uniform voice made the surrounding burst out. good-natured laughter.

Evan-Bell didn't seem to have expected the reporters to have such a reaction, so he shrugged his shoulders and took back the steps he took with a helpless look.

However, Evan-Bell really stayed for "a while," and after less than twenty seconds, he stepped forward again and left the photo area. The reporters couldn't help but exclaim: This guy is completely out of control! Fortunately, there should be a lot of fine products in the photos just now.

Not long after the awards ceremony started, the photos of the red carpet in various newspapers and magazines on the Internet were published first. Although the summary has not yet been made, the photos updated in real time can always be a miracle for the audience who were not present to see it. Until the second half of the red carpet, no one could steal Evan Bell's style. Today's red carpet is completely dominated by this powerful newcomer.

Judging from the photos of different reporters from different newspapers and different media, netizens found that, apart from the subjective factors of reporters such as photo composition and light, the photos of Evan-Bell have almost all angles, saying that 360 degrees is a bit Exaggerated, but there is absolutely a 270-degree omnidirectional display, and no matter which angle, Evan-Bell is so "damn perfect".

When the first netizen shouted this slogan on the Internet, coupled with the prominent support slogan "Damn Perfect" on the red carpet, it became Evan-Bell's new synonym. Not long after that, the "handsome guy with no dead ends" swept the Internet again and became another alias for Evan Bell.

Of course, everyone has different aesthetic views. It is impossible for everyone to agree with these two names, but these two names have spread at an amazing speed on the Internet. To illustrate one thing: Evan Bell's supporters are growing, and one day they will be everywhere.

The buzz on the internet is spreading, and the backstage of the Grammys is buzzing.

Backstage at Staples Field, there is a buffet table with some simple meals, fruit and drinks. When Evan-Bell stepped on the red carpet, it was more than 4:30 in the afternoon. The awards ceremony was estimated to start at 5:30, and it would last for about four hours. However, considering that many artists are on a diet, the meals on the buffet table are very simple, and it is difficult to fill the stomach with a padded belly.

As soon as Evan Bell walked backstage, he saw Alicia Keys. The most anticipated new female singer of the year, today wore a rose-red flat-shoulder short dress, the front half of her beautiful long hair was braided into African black braids, and then tied behind her head. The half part is spread out, and then scraped with hair wax, in addition to being invincible of youth, it also shows that bright face.

The two biggest competitors at the Grammy Awards met directly backstage. In fact, the confrontation between these two competitors started from the beginning of their debut and has been going on for a year. Throughout the awards season, at the Grammys The awards ceremony was at its peak.

I saw Evan Bell smiled and took a few steps forward, "Case, you actually arrived earlier than me today." The two of them hugged gently, but they looked familiar.

The smile on Alicia Keys's face was very bright. "That's right, I can't wait to get to the scene today. The reporter will definitely make a big fuss about it tomorrow. "This joke caused even the people passing by with a friendly smile.

Evan Bell and Alicia Keys, including the Eagle Rock Music Festival, who could not meet directly, have met several times since then, the Hollywood Theater, Washington Square, including the backstage of several performances. Although the two cannot be called good friends, at least they are not at each other's throats as described by the media.

"No, no, I think what the media wants to see most is that the two of us flirt with each other backstage, and then turn from competitors into scandals. This is completely a sign of a soap opera boom." Evan Bell thought of "Smithford" fù" laughed even more happily.

"Bell, you should be a screenwriter, such a poignant plot is sure to be a hit at the box office. I'm serious." Alicia Keys couldn't help but responded with a smile.

Seeing Alicia Keys' slightly nervous expression and floating eyes, Evan Bell chuckled, "What? In the interview before the ceremony, didn't you say that it doesn't matter whether you win or not? , being nominated for a nomination is a kind of affirmation. Looking at you now, you look absent-minded."

Alicia Case was a little embarrassed by what Evan Bell said at once. After all, the two were just ordinary friends. Although Evan Bell said it in a sarcastic tone, Lou Zhonghong's teasing made him She couldn't laugh at it. "An interview is an interview, and it is inevitable to be nervous when you actually go to the scene! This is Grammy, you know, Grammy."

Evan-Bell couldn't help feeling a little boring when he saw that the other party didn't buy it. In fact, Evan Bell is also a little nervous about the Grammy Awards, not only because it is a global music event, but also because every gramophone is a huge affirmation of singers.

But the desire for trophies did not make Evan Bell's gains and losses unbalanced. He knew very well that it was not something he could decide to win the award. Winning the award required both strength and luck. So, Evan-Bell is a little nervous, but generally comfortable.

However, everyone has their own ideas, and Evan-Bell cannot ask others for his own ideas. So, he quickly skipped the topic "Hey, that's not Britney."

Evan Bell saw Britney Spears wearing a red-backed long dress. As soon as this American queen-level figure appeared, the acquaintances in the backstage became lively. This also broke the slightly stagnant atmosphere between Evan Bell and Alicia Keys, and became active again.

It's not just Britney Spears, obviously the red carpet has entered the big moment of the second half. The arrival of Christina Aguilera, Destiny, Celine Dion, Jiu and Madonna makes the red carpet lively. , and the singers backstage also began to gather in twos and threes to chat and laugh.

Just as Evan Bell and Alicia Keys met backstage, the Evan Bell opponent that the media originally focused on! Melancholic mood, sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast at this time, the melancholy mood that disappeared for nearly seven months, under the leadership of Craig Cook, has been secretly training. The training content includes the accumulation of musical literacy, the etiquette of receiving people and things in the face of the media, etc. Training is one aspect, and Universal Music is also repackaging the melancholy mood.

From the album to the promotion plan after the reappearance, detailed arrangements are being made. After Thanksgiving last year, Melancholia's new album was already recorded.

Looking at Evan and Bell on the red carpet on the TV screen, several veterans in the Melancholy Team were a little silent.

Gillen-Haas had a wry smile and a hint of relief on his face. Life is composed of multiple choice questions, and his today is the accumulation of countless choices before. He had nothing to say about it, because it was his own choice. But in the back of his mind, he still occasionally thinks that if there is a "if" or a time machine that can create a **** in this world, that would be great.

Bruce Sterwood remained expressionless, but his clenched right fist still revealed his thoughts.

Jacob mentioned that he looked at the TV screen, very calm and did not move too much. The bespectacled Swanson is back, and everything will be in the years before the Eagle Rock Festival. However, those who knew him well, seeing the struggle in his eyes, knew that he just restrained his emotions again, and whether envy or jealousy was hidden under his golden glasses again.

When Jacob mentioned it, he knew that his rhetoric and his deeds at the time seemed to be a joke now. A stupid thing. Does he hate Evan Bell? hatred! He still hates that **** guy. If he'd been willing to raise the blues, maybe the four of them would be walking the red carpet now.

However, Jacob made it clear that it was already the moon in the water in the mirror. No matter how hard he moves now, it won't help. As for the real achievement, he will be able to straighten his back by standing in front of Evan Bell again.

Jacob mentioned that bō's claws were not ground, but were hidden again like before the Eagle Rock Music Festival.

Craig Cook, who was standing on one side, squinted his eyes thoughtfully, and the smile on the corner of his mouth like a poisonous snake shone faintly. It wasn't until the figure on the TV screen disappeared at the end of the red carpet that Craig Cook put away his smile. "Don't worry, you will be there next year! With a glorious attitude..."

After some words, the team members who were in a melancholy mood didn't respond, but they all looked thoughtful.

Backstage at Staples Stadium, "Chester, Chester!" Evan-Bell and Alicia-Keys chatted for a while, when they saw their good friend Linkin Park entering the venue, they quickly greeted stand up. But at this time, everyone in the backstage was talking enthusiastically, and the effect was obviously not very obvious. After Evan Bell and Alicia Keys said goodbye, they walked in the direction of Chester Bennington.

Chester Bennington, who was wearing a black suit, saw Evan Bell and quickly stepped forward and gave Lou Wen Bell a strong hug, "Man, that song of yours is really great, great That's it." Chester Bennington slapped Evan Bell on the back with a jittery expression, causing Evan Bell to be injured instantly.

"Chester, are you serious? Are you serious? Do you really like that song of mine? I think you hate it because you're trying to murder me now." Evan Bell said After that, he coughed twice in cooperation, causing Mike Ichinoda and the others who followed up to laugh out loud.

Although everyone hadn't seen each other for a while, they didn't feel unfamiliar at all, and Chester Bennington even skipped the part of greeting, and it was a force to come up.

"How is it, have you finished all your arrangements?" Evan Bell was obviously also concerned about the song that Chester Bennington said just now. Then I asked.

"No, no, it will take a while." Chester-Bennington shook his head. "Mike is thinking about the mixing part. How about you come over and discuss it together when you have time?"

Evan Bell and Chester Bennington were discussing a song that the two teams collaborated on. I still remember the concert held by Linkin Park and others in Washington Square after 9/11, when Chester Bennington suggested that the two of them compose a song together.

Later in early December, Chester-Bennington sent a simple manuscript to Evan-Bell, who wrote a lyric for the song, but the writing process was a struggle, and there were "adaptations". Part of the reason for the script" was that it wasn't until mid-January that Evan Bell finished writing the lyrics and sent it to Chester Bennington.

After that, Evan-Bell and Chester-Bennington exchanged two more back and forth, and the lyrics were finally revised, but it seems that Chester-Bennington and Mike Shinoda had no idea about the arrangement. Still not satisfied.

"Didn't I always participate in discussions via email? By the way, there were two more half-hour phone calls I almost thought my phone was going to overheat and explode." Evan Bell Those words made Chester-Bennington ruthless, and then he bullied him and gave Evan-Bell a punch.

"Dude, I paid for the phone bill!" This complaint made Evan Bell and the rest of the Linkin Park team laugh out loud. But Chester-Bennington didn't care at all, and continued with a smile, "Man, do you have any plans for this song? We don't have any plans for an album at the moment."

"I don't know yet." Evan Bell shook his head and said, "How about we record a special single, let Warner release it, and then sell it on iTunes, and all the proceeds will be donated to the reconstruction of the September 11 disaster area. Foundation." Because Evan Bell is now also involved in bidding for the design drawings for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center building, he also knows a lot about the progress in this area.

Now that the clean-up of the World Trade Center is drawing to a close, rebuilding must begin one after another.

"Nice idea!" Chester-Bennington agreed. "Let's find time to record together when we finish the song."
