As the intro sounded, the stage lights dimmed and the spotlight hit Li Tiezhu.
At this moment, at the age of twenty, he was the only protagonist of the Grammy.
However, this is also a high level of performance, and it is by no means as easy as the outside world imagines.
First of all, because the list of winners was kept secret, so no one knew who was on stage to receive the award and sing, and it was impossible to rehearse. Also, because of the language, the singing was done with only accompaniment and no teleprompter, which the English song had.
But so what?
Li Tiezhu had an incomparably powerful teleprompter-system inside his head.
“A sadness of separation stands alone in the window, I’m behind the door pretending that you people have not left, the old place is like revisiting the full moon is even more lonely ……”
Li Tiezhu’s scene is just one word – stable.
The system-enhanced advanced singing skills, paired with Li Tiezhu’s own voice, which was quite colourful, was enough to easily manage such a pop song. With Li Tiezhu’s slowness and big heart, there was no way he would be nervous, and he even felt a bit disadvantaged.
So what if Grammy?
They let me sing but didn’t give me any money!
The Grammy invited performers were paid a fee, and quite a lot of it, but the award-winning guests were not.
Of course, in the eyes of others, Li Tiezhu earned a lot of money, although the best classical music award is not a big prize, but it is also a Grammy ah! A lot of people nominated seven or eight times may not be able to get the award once, his first nomination to get the award, it is simply koi boy.
Offstage, many singers were mesmerised, this was the ancient Chinese style they had imagined, it was simply too beautiful.
Such a piece of music that could be called a classic, it was well deserved to get this award.
On the stage, the camera gave the host Keith who retreated to the side, her eyes slightly closed, immersed in Li Tiezhu’s song slightly shaking her head.
Although the foreigners do not understand, but on some level, music is really the world language, for the transmission of emotions more precise than language.
Penguin live pop-up screen, all “Li Tiezhu bull” screen.
In Oil Can’s live webcast, the pop-ups are all over the place:
“This is one of my favourite songs.”
“Aien Pella is a god.”
“He’s only 20 years old, this is terrible ……”
“Although I don’t understand Chinese, it’s like I’m seeing a poignant love story.”
“Those who know Chinese realise how powerful the words of this song are.”
“It’s hard to imagine that the person singing such a tender and lingering song KO’d Porcupine Stark half an hour ago.”
“His voice is too good.”
“Perfect tunes, flawless singing.”
“Not a fan of squinty-eyed Orientals.”
“Get out of the Grammy’s!”
“Come on, look at Ian Pella’s girlfriend, her eyes are bigger than both of yours.”
“The truth is Chinese people look nothing like what our media advertises, they’re very beautiful.”
“I wish Ian Pella would release an English album, it’s so tiring to listen to his albums with subtitles. And the Grammy doesn’t have subtitles yet.”
“I don’t think it’s possible with Iempella’s English level.”
“I’m already learning Chinese by listening to his rap music, Herbal Drug Compendium.”
“I like his kung fu better, it’s so cool!”
“After I watch Kung Fu, I’m going to bust Stark, anyone with me?”
“I’ll sign up!”
Soon, Li Tiezhu finished his song, and applause and cheers rang out from the stage.
Li Tiezhu said three grams of oil and returned the microphone to the staff, then got off the stage and walked back to his seat with Song Zhu’er.
On stage, Keith said, “Very perfect singing, thank you Aine Pella! At the same time, I want to say sorry to you on behalf of Grammy, because of our negligence, you encountered some unfriendly things. But you conquered everyone with your music, great!”
Li Tiezhu thought to himself, “I conquered Stark with my fists, can he beat me up and I sing to him so he can kneel down?
The Grammy night continues.
Powerful songs and dances were staged in turn, and one outstanding musician went up to the stage to receive the award.
Then, Arianna next to Li Tiezhu began to curse, Song Zhu’er obediently translated every word she cursed with Li Tiezhu, Li Tiezhu were stunned, so this snow child, no, this woman is so famous?
A sister already had two nominations today and didn’t get the awards, both of them were grand prizes, one was the best female pop singer and the other was the best album of the year.
So, she’s upset, and she’s not chatting to anyone anymore, sitting in her seat and pouting in a small voice.
Song Zhu’er: “Dog-eyed blind Grammy, stupid host, ugly …… old lady’s music is the most dope, you guys know a chicken …… ugly bitch Reddy Caca can get an award? Who are you looking down on? Lao mama debut the first year to take the Grammy …… go to hell a bunch of rubbish ……”
Li Tiezhu glanced at Arianna’s chest that was undulating with anger and said, “Hot paw, don’t translate, beware of people hearing.”
Song Zhu’er: “I’m making you more involved, she has can’t understand Chinese, besides, what’s the fear of hearing it? Old me like her can fight three!”
Li Tiezhu said, “She looks very powerful.”
Song Zhu’er: “Of course, don’t you know? She was hailed by the media as the most dangerous woman in the world.”
“Why?”
“Because she can sh*t on one foot.”
“Ummm …… that is indeed impressive.”
“Right? A lot of energy in a small body, ha!”
Arianna, who was cursing, suddenly looked over and asked, “Wat? Are you guys talking about me? I heard you guys say sh*t on one foot (dangerous).”
Matsutakeer said in English, “Yeah! I was recommending your song ‘dangerous-woman’ to my boyfriend.”
Ariana: “Thank you! You’re much cuter than those tables on stage.”
Matsutakeer: “So are you ……” Tables!
“Your eyes are so big! Have you had plastic surgery?”
“Your Yuko is so big! Is it real?”
Li Tiezhu sat in the middle of the two, and could feel the very obvious flavour of gunpowder, and it was true that female artists were either tearing up or brewing tearing up together, regardless of borders.
He got up to go to the toilet and came back, and found that A sister was gone, startled: “Hot claw, you knocked her away?”
Song Zhu’er rolled his eyes, “Singing on stage! What eyes ah.”
Li Tiezhu was relieved.
Song Zhu’er added: “Interested? I’ll help you!”
Li Tiezhu: “Get lost!”
Song Zhu’er laughed: “That’s right, the fat water is not flowing into other people’s fields!”
After Ariana sang, she was also interviewed twice by Keith.
Keith asked, “Arianna, you’ve been nominated for two awards today and didn’t win, disappointed?”
Ariana smiled a lovely smile, “No. I’m still young! I’m still young, I’ll have many, many Grammy trophies when I’m as old as you are, and I’m only twenty-six.”
Keith: “Good luck then! Be careful going down the steps, you have short legs. You can jump down, though.”
Ariana held her tongue, but the microphone had been taken away, so she could only carry her dress skirt white down the steps, whispering forced curses as she went.
Keith said, “I suggest that next year the Grammy steps get a little lower, otherwise, I’m worried that Ariana will complain about the organising committee. Or, we could install a lift next to the stage, perfect! Next, please welcome Glenn and Jefferson for an old favourite, ‘Burning Tequila’.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the music started.
A man with long hair and a fat man with a beard, one playing guitar and the other piano, sang a very classic song.
Arianna was still pushing, and Song Zhu’er translated in the same voice.
Li Tiezhu heard the wonderful singing and cursing voices overlapping infinitely, so damn great, this is very Grammy.
Song Zhu’er: “My grandmother constipation are better than that Keith sings …… Lao miang tear her mouth …… looks beautiful really will be jealous of women, ugly pussy! Lao miang go back to write a new song “Old Woman” …… What are these two singing? Heh! It’s time for Iampella again. Hello? Big Eyes (Pushy Ace), your boyfriend’s nominated for another award. HEY? Call me?”
Arianna: “You’re translating my curse words to him?”
Matsutake-chan: “Oyuko, what makes you think that? I’m so decent and have innocence ……”
Arianna: “Heh ……”
Matsutake-chan: “What award are these two giving out after they sing? Best World Album?”
Arianna bristles, deliberately not saying anything.
Song Zhu’er: “Tie Zhu, can I punch her? It’s so damn infuriating!”
Li Tiezhu hugged her, knowing her childish temper.
At this time, the song finished, the two men on the stage thanked the audience, but did not leave the stage immediately.
The bearded Jefferson said, “It’s a great honour to be able to perform this song on the Grammy stage, it’s our heart and soul, you know, it’s not easy.”
The long-haired Glenn says, “Yeah, we were both new at the time, just starting out and struggling, and this song opened the door to our careers.”
Jefferson: “We are even more honoured to announce this year’s nominees for Best New Artist.”
Glenn: “Wow, they’re all very good, check out the big screen.”
A VCR of the Best Newcomer nominees plays on the big screen.
The first nominee, Rice’s 1990-born Rook Coombs, has two albums in three years and has sold well.
The second nominee, Rice Nine-Eight and Zero-Zero-born sisters Chloe x Halle, an R&B soul-pop duo.
Third nominee, UK singer-songwriter and model Dua Lipa, 1995, UK pop chart single number one.
Fourth nominee, Rice’s 1990 singer Lexa, former lead singer of Black Cards, who went solo and won the Best New Artist award at the Disney Music Festival.
Fifth nominee, Chinese singer Aynpera Lee, who debuted on a music talent show in 1998 and whose new album broke the record for newcomer sales in North America.
Sixth nominee, French singer Joya Smith in 1994, good at rap, music is very infectious.
The seventh nominee, Rice nine years female singer HER, with her debut album “HER” airborne national music charts, long-term many songs occupy the top ten.
The number of nominees for the Grammy awards is not fixed, less when three, more when eight or nine are normal.
Li Tiezhu couldn’t help but mutter after reading, “So many people?”
Song Zhu’er: “Didn’t you read the list?”
Li Tiezhu: “Can’t remember.”
Ariana said, “Your biggest competitor is Dua Lipa, this year she swept almost all the music festivals and took seven or eight best newcomers. Moreover, she’s British, best newcomer is a grand prize, she won’t give it out indiscriminately.”
Song Zhu’er translated to Li Tiezhu.
Li Tiezhu thought about it, “If I win the award, what should I sing?”
