Chapter 156 Grammy 2
In my previous life, Ryan was just watching the fire from the other side of the river. What happened here is just rumors, but I have been in this circle for several years in this life and have had a lot of personal experiences.
When a black man achieves something more remarkable to the world, some people will naturally dislike him, especially the disputes of interest are involved.
Michael Jackson has something mouthwatering in his hand, and Sony Records has been ready to move.
It is hard to say that the scandals in the previous life and the debt trap are behind them, there is no sign of Sony.
In Ryan's opinion, the other party may be better off in the future by giving up the copyright of the records in his hands, and his skin color is destined to be unable to protect this gold mine.
The lengthy award ceremony continued, and soon a staff member came over and reminded Ryan that it was time to go to the backstage to prepare. As the winner of the three nominations, he naturally became a guest of singing.
"Do you want me to accompany you, Ryan?" Jinsley asked.
"No, I can do it alone."
Following the staff member, Ryan walked into the backstage from the corridor on the other side, and with the help of a stylist, he began to organize his hairstyle, etc.
An assistant director also came over at this time and explained some precautions next to him. Ryan nodded slowly. After all, this was a live performance of the Grammy. If something went wrong, it would be embarrassing to the public across the United States.
"Here, Ryan, remember to see my gestures, three, two, one..."
The director's assistant took him into the lifting platform below the stage, and gestured as Ryan sat in front of the black piano.
"no problem!"
Ryan made an ‘OK’ gesture.
“Three, two, one…”
Seeing the director's assistant drop his last finger, Ryan calmly breathed, his slender fingers fell on the black and white keys, and the melodious piano sounded, which was the prelude to "Because of You".
The lifting platform slowly rises. When the theater lights fall into Ryan's eyes, the prelude ends just in time.
"I will not make the mistakes I have made, I will not let my heart be filled with pain again..."
The sound of the piano poured out from his slender fingers like flowing clouds and water. Ryan's emotional singing was full of penetration, and singing while playing had no effect on him at all.
"Because of you, I learned to stay in a safe place without being hurt, because of you. I try to trust others and live in peace with those around me, because of you, I feel that my heart is supported!"
The emotions filled with the song suddenly burst out in the chorus part, and the rich singing style penetrated the sky and shook the accusations of people's hearts. It seemed that it could touch the deepest part of the heart.
"Ryan! Ryan!"
The young fans at the end of the theater only noticed that they ignored a crucial person tonight, the one they loved the most.
Ryan had no idea about the outside world and was completely immersed in his own world, a world full of musical fantasies.
He tried to play a touching story with his jumping fingers. As his slender fingers carried magical rhythms, the accompaniment tune seemed exciting and deep.
"Because of you. I have learned to stay in a safe place without being hurt. Because of you, I try to trust others and live in peace with those around me. Because of you, I feel that my heart is back!"
The cathartic singing voice was filled with a hint of hoarseness, but it seemed extremely clear. Ryan showed his profound live singing skills to the fullest.
The song stopped, the song dispersed, and the applause started.
The stars in the front rows stood up first, then more people stood up, and the audience at the end also stood up in the cheers of "Ryan" with overwhelming applause.
The whole audience stood up!
Then the cheers disappeared, and the warm applause rushed like a tide. Ryan stood up and bowed, "Thank you!"
There was no band, no dance, no other. It was just a person's self-play and singing, which won the applause.
From the backstage, when Ryan walked back to his seat, the singers he knew and didn't know greeted him softly, some slapped high and some shook hands, and several female singers gave him hugs.
“A very wonderful performance.”
“Your scene is amazing.”
"We can cooperate if we have the opportunity."
Various sounds washed his hearing, and when Ryan walked back to his seat, it delayed for several minutes.
"If you don't come again, I'm going to come on stage to receive the prize for you." Jinsley said jokingly.
"I have no objection."
Ryan shrugged and sat down quickly. The best newcomer was about to be awarded on the stage. "Pate, are you sure the Recording Association will give me a phonograph?"
"Even God can't guess this."
Although he has done a lot of public relations work, Jinsli is still lacking confidence.
“The best newcomer winner is…”
The somewhat strange award presenter on the stage paused for a moment, and the avatars of all the nominees appeared on the big screen. They were either nervous or excited, only Ryan smiled relaxedly, and didn't seem to care much about the award.
“Development is blocked!”
The winner was a black rap group, and Ryan had never heard of it anyway.
"This is normal, Ryan, Grammys always look like this..."
Jinsley probably wanted to comfort him in a low voice, but Ryan didn't care much. He knew very well that his main battlefield was in the movie, "It's okay, Pat, aren't there two nominations?"
However, after seeing the guests who performed on stage next, Ryan suddenly realized that he might be returning empty-handed tonight.
Although he didn't know many singers, he remembered that Eric Clapton was singing the famous "Tears Shed in Heaven"!
The next one was awarded the Best Single, and the award presenter read out his name.
“The one who won the best single was “Tears Sprinkle in Heaven”, Eric Clapton.”
This song was written by Eric Clapton to commemorate his four-year-old son who died early. Most musicians also knew the background of the song's birth, and they all gave warm applause at this time.
"The best record of the year is "Tears Sprinkle in Heaven", Eric Clapton, congratulations!"
The award ceremony came to an end, and another heavyweight award was taken into his arms.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Eric Clapton will sweep the most important awards." Jinsley sighed.
"It should be so, and the best album should be his." Ryan shook his head. Although he didn't attach as much importance as Oscars, it really didn't feel good about returning empty-handed.
In fact, it’s not just them who see it this way, but most other people also think that “Best Album” is Eric Clapton.
However, if the recording association can easily guess what they think, then the Grammy is not the Grammy.
After another strange female singer sang a song, a blonde woman walked onto the stage. She is the big sister of the pop music scene today, Madonna Siconi.
"In the past year, many excellent albums have been born, and many of them have sold well. In terms of sales champion, it must be the album "Ryan Jenkins", which has ten platinum sales... Oh, God, of course, other albums are equally excellent."
“The ones who won the best album of the year are…”
Every time Madonna pronounces a name, a person's avatar appears on the big screen, but these people, including Ryan, seem very calm, and they obviously think that the award has been granted in advance.
"Now let's see who this lucky guy is!" Madonna opened the envelope and said casually, "He is..."
"It seems we are going home empty-handed, it's time for Nicole to laugh at me." Ryan murmured at Jinsley in a low voice.
"He... "Ryan Jenkins" Ryan Jenkins! Best Album of the Year, Congratulations!"
The theater was silent. Ryan slowly turned his head from Jinslie to the stage. His mouth was so open that he could stuff an egg into it. Not only him, but everyone in the audience was shocked.
Grammys are worthy of being Grammys! This is what many people thought at that moment.
"Ba~bha~"
The applause that suddenly came to mind seemed extremely monotonous. After a moment, the applause fell like a rainstorm. Whether it was the album "Ryan Jenkins" or Ryan Jenkins, it was worthy of this album, right?
It is better to get a phonograph than to return empty-handed. Ryan quickly packed up and strode onto the stage.
"Thanks!"
He took the initiative to reach out and shook Madonna with a rumored bisexual hug. After all, there was some psychological barrier to the rumored bisexual hug.
"Congratulations, Ryan."
Madonna handed over the phonograph and flashed to the side.
Ryan looked at the small phonograph, and the shape was very unique, and then came to the microphone, "Thank you! Thank you for the judges for approving my first album. Thank you Hollywood record company, thank you for everyone I love and those who love me... Well, in the last sentence, I can sing and compose music, I know this, so I will also give full affirmation to the judges' affirmation given to me!"
Of course, Ryan said the last sentence in a joke, which immediately attracted applause and laughter from the stage.
This award is a bit surprising, but it is natural to think about it. The album "Ryan Jenkins" was the champion sales album in North America last year. If overseas sales are counted, it will definitely exceed 15 million. There is nothing strange about Grammys giving phonographs.
Besides, Ryan won three heavyweight nominations for Best Newcomer, Best Single and Best Album. If he returns empty-handed, he will definitely attract big media criticism tomorrow.
"I'm certainly happy to get a phonograph. I will continue to work hard to create even better songs." After the award ceremony, Ryan was in a routine interview, "What? New album? Yes, my second album will be released next year. I've almost prepared the song. As for the time, you'll better ask the Hollywood record company."
Despite having a singer, Ryan didn't want to get involved in this circle too deeply. He greeted a few acquaintances, politely declined several parties, and then pushed Pai Jinsley out as a shield and returned home directly.
Chapter completed!
