Chapter 229 I Got a Gramophone
Chapter 229 I got a gramophone
Mr. Di exuded a sense of powerlessness all over his body. While holding the phone to deal with Ma Xiaoshu, he stared at his gloating daughter:
"I'm having a good New Year, I don't need your congratulations! Don't use too much force when practicing hard mixing, as it can easily injure your vocal cords. You have to get used to it slowly. It's normal to not be able to find the right pitch at the beginning. This is a skill and a long-term practice.
The muscle memory formed has nothing to do with the sense of sound..."
"You won't be able to sing for a few years just by singing with your voice! Hao Shengyin didn't make any nonsense in this regard. Especially the singing method of "Love Song of the West Sea" is very damaging to your voice, so you need more scientific techniques..."
"Don't be anxious. You are still young. Take your time and gradually improve your skills over a few years or even more than ten years. Don't think about becoming a fat man in one bite...Okay, shut up. I don't want to talk to you anymore."
.”
After finally hanging up the phone, Mr. Di felt tired.
Gao Wen sat upright, chewed slowly, and was extremely well-behaved, not giving them any excuse to get angry.
Mom said: "Why are you answering his phone? It's the Chinese New Year, so unlucky..."
Gao Wen almost laughed out loud, but held it back forcibly. Brother Xiaoshu was not unlucky (≧O≦)〃, this was a tactic, well, it must be his tactic.
Na~
Now you know how difficult Ma Xiaoshu is?
Mr. Di waved his hand and said, "I can't accept it. That guy's brain is abnormal and his personality is irritable. He relies entirely on shouting to sing. What if he tears his vocal cords in his eagerness for success?"
Gao MaMa: "If your vocal cords are torn, you can't sing?"
Mr. Di: "If his vocal cords are torn, he will have an excuse to concentrate on variety shows! I don't want him to do such an easy way to make money, so I will let him do music, study music theory and practice singing. I will exhaust him to death!"
Gao Wen nodded: "Yeah! He's exhausted!"
Gao MaMa endured it again and again and did not hit her, just like the Chinese New Year.
She turned around and asked: "He is not in a normal mind, and you still teach him?"
Mr. Di: "I have nothing to do."
"Xiang? Aren't you preparing for this year's "Eastern Star"? Where will it be held?"
Mr. Di said: "I won't go to Jakarta this year. If I go, I'll be singing backup for the Uzbeks or Kazakhs. It's boring."
"Oriental Star" is the top competition hall for young singers in Asia and the third most influential professional singing competition in the world. The contestants include emerging singers from all over Asia.
In order to get out of the small domestic market and enter the world stage, young singers from many countries participated in the competition to compete for the Golden Mask Award, which symbolizes Asia's new singing king.
As a folk singer from the Western Regions, Di Ye often participates as a guest, but because of similar languages, he often collaborates with Uzbek and Kazakh singers.
The people who invited him this year were still singers from those two countries, and their quality was not good enough.
Gao Wen muttered: "Then you go help the Chinese singer."
Mr. Di: "Haha... I can't afford to lose that person. Do you think there are any Chinese singers who have entered the second round of "Eastern Star" over the years?"
What is the level of Chinese pop singers in recent years?
a shame!
Not only can it not compare with the international second-rate level, it can't even compare with the third-rate level. It just doesn't make it to the top.
Gao Wen was very unconvinced: "That's my home...well, Ma Xiaoshu didn't go!"
Mr. Di: "It's even more embarrassing if he goes, he sings badly and is ugly. He also deserves the Golden Mask Award for "Eastern Star"? Why don't you say he won the Grammy? Bad luck! Don't talk about him."
Gao Wen is very angry, but Brother Xiaoshu is not unlucky, he is very angry.
However, she also understands that her boyfriend will not participate in "Eastern Star". On the one hand, there is indeed a huge room for improvement in singing skills, and on the other hand, Jiaxing Media does not have excellent music resources.
Being hanged and beaten.
That stage is not comparable to an amateur singing competition like "Shining Star".
There was absolutely no need for Ma Xiaoshu to... be beaten.
In fact, Ma Xiaoshu did receive an invitation from "Eastern Star", but he refused without thinking. I finally survived the talent show, but I haven't made enough money yet, so I'm going to participate in the competition again?
I often make mistakes, but I'm not an idiot.
Of course, there are always idiots who will go. Jackdaw and Yanagisawa decided to go, and even called Ma Xiaoshu to encourage them, but they were flatly rejected.
Ma Xiaoshu spent a year comfortably at home, leisurely following his parents to visit relatives, happily beating up his two cousins, and feeling happy.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Ma Xiaoshu flew from the mountain city to London alone.
He is going there for twenty days of wilderness survival training to prepare for the next show. The coach he chooses is Peter, one of Mr. Pei's cameramen. The training venue is also the most advanced. Mr. Pei and Mr. De are both there.
Basic training was done here.
Of course, what Ma Xiaoshu has to learn are just some basic skills. After all, his show is not as ruthless as Mr. Pei and Mr. De, and it is an entertainment variety show.
As soon as he landed, Ma Xiaoshu saw Teacher Sha Yi who had arrived first.
Lao Sha had a frown on his face: "Brother, it's so hard to earn money from your show! You also need special training? Look at me, I'm an old man, can you bear it?"
Ma Xiaoshu: "Be patient, the audience loves to watch it."
If you don't come to be tortured, the audience will have half the fun.
To be honest, Lao Sha was a little bit miserable by Ma Xiaoshu. Let’s not talk about whether the special training is hard or not. Let’s just say that these twenty days can actually make a lot of money for an artist.
Shayi could have chosen to quit, but he didn't. This was a long-term consideration for his personal career.
In the past two years, Lao Sha's career has been a little smoother by relying on variety shows, but he has always made guest appearances in various large and small programs, and acted lowly in front of a group of younger children. After all, his heart is unbalanced and unstable.
.
Therefore, he still wants to work with Ma Xiaoshu to create a stable work. It does not require it to be popular, as long as it can last for several seasons.
The two soon arrived at the training base and met coach Pete, whom he met on Ma Xiaoshu's show, and invited him to be the technical director of the new show.
Peter Tepi invited Ma Xiaoshu and Sha Yi to taste authentic British delicacies as soon as they met, and almost made them vomit.
The following special training was even more difficult than British cuisine. Ma Xiaoshu took advantage of it with his strong physical fitness. Teacher Sha cried during the training. He really cried.
A week later, Ma Xiaoshu left Sha Yi and flew to Los Angeles to attend the Grammy Awards.
Originally, Ma Xiaoshu thought he was just going through the motions, singing two songs like a Chinese music festival to earn some money. Unexpectedly, the foreign artists were quite enthusiastic, and many of them came to say hello, chat and take photos with Ma Xiaoshu.
Foreigners became more and more interested when they discovered that Jaylen Ma was really stupid. He is now also an Internet celebrity abroad.
But Ma Xiaoshu didn't recognize any of them, he didn't recognize any of them, and his face was so confused that he couldn't even recognize people from the domestic entertainment industry, let alone foreign singers.
Fortunately, he, English, was pretty good and could barely communicate with them without really appearing to be a fool.
He attended the award ceremony in a daze, and was invited to go on stage to sing a bilingual version of "Kiss Goodbye" during the middle of the ceremony. Then he came off the stage and continued to be in a daze.
It wasn't until the black man next to him slapped him on the shoulder that Ma Xiaoshu came to his senses. Looking at the foreigners applauding in the audience, he realized that he seemed to have... won the award.
"Farewell" was nominated for the Best Composer Award, but did not win.
"Blue and White Porcelain" was nominated for the Best Pop Song Award, so naturally it was also a running companion.
What is now announced is the winner of the Best Newcomer Award in 2022-Jaylen Ma.
Ma Xiaoshu buttoned up his suit and stood up. A very sweet foreign girl rushed over to him and gave him a big hug, followed by the second and third.
Who are you? Who are you?
Ma Xiaoshu hugged a few girls, shook hands with a few men, trotted onto the stage, and took the small gramophone from Beyoncé and Kelly. The base was black and the speaker was gold.
of.
The Grammy Awards ceremony is not broadcast live on domestic television, but Douyin does. After all, Ma Xiaoshu was nominated, so the attention is okay.
However, almost everyone thinks that it is impossible for Ma Xiaoshu to win the award. Due to cultural differences, although Ma Xiaoshu is famous abroad, he is not as popular as his competitors.
However, Gao Wen was full of longing and kept watching the live broadcast. She almost gave up since she didn't win the first two awards. After all, the Best Newcomer Award is most likely reserved for European and American newcomers.
But this award happened to be received, and Gao Wen screamed with joy.
Even the scantily clad girls took turns hugging Ma Xiaoshu, but she wasn't jealous. After screaming, she laughed with her arms akimbo, thinking about how to show off to her father.
The two female singers responsible for awarding the awards also hugged Ma Xiaoshu and gave brief blessings.
Ma Xiaoshu: "Three grams of oil, three grams of oil!"
Next came the part where Ma Xiaoshu gave his acceptance speech. He was stunned for a while before saying:
"Uh...thank you Grammy, thank you judges, you are very discerning! I thought I was just here to perform songs, but you gave me a trophy, which is so polite. I am very happy that Chinese songs can be recognized in Europe and the United States.
I will work harder and write more good songs, thank you!"
There was constant applause and loud screams, and everyone was obviously surprised.
The Grammy Award for Best New Artist is one of the most valuable awards. It is indeed incredible to award it to a Chinese.
Many foreign viewers who watched the live broadcast couldn't understand it, but after listening to Ma Xiaoshu's album, there is no reason to refute it. The first classic is indeed amazing.
The most important thing is that Ma Xiaoshu's songs have more than 2 billion plays in China and more than 300 million in Europe and the United States. The data from Europe and the United States alone crush the newcomers in the same period.
In addition, there is also the judges' preference for Ma Xiaoshu.
His dozen or so original songs are not very popular among ordinary people abroad, but they are widely circulated and popular among professional musicians.
For example, the song "Love Song of the West Sea" was considered by Hao Shengyin to be crude.
After the Grammy Awards ceremony, Ma Xiaoshu took a gramophone selfie and took a video to thank the audience, which he posted on Douyin and Toktik.
Ma Xiaoshu: "Today, I got a gramophone. Thank you to the fans!"
Then, the domestic entertainment music circle... exploded, and the Chinese Music Festival and a certain person were once again criticized on the trending searches.
Chapter completed!
