Country Composer

Chapter 229 I Got a Gramophone
Di Ye exudes a sense of powerlessness all over his body, while holding the phone to perfunctory Ma Xiaoshu, while staring at his gloating daughter:
"I'm having a good Chinese New Year, so I don't need your congratulations! Don't use too much force when you practice strong mixing, it's easy to hurt your vocal cords. You have to get used to it slowly. It's normal to be inaccurate at the beginning. This is a skill and a long-term practice. The muscle memory formed has nothing to do with the sense of pitch..."

"You can't sing with your voice for a few years! Hao Shengyin didn't talk nonsense in this regard, especially the singing method of "Love Song of the West Sea" is very damaging to the voice, so more scientific skills are needed..."

"Don't worry, you are still young, take your time, gradually improve your skills in a few years or even ten years, don't think about eating into a fat man...Okay, shut up, I don't want to talk to you anymore .”

After finally hanging up the phone, Master Di felt tired.

Gao Wen sat upright, chewed slowly, and was extremely well-behaved, not giving them any excuse to get mad.

Mom said: "Why are you answering his phone? It's New Year's Eve, bad luck..."

Gao Wen almost laughed out loud, but forced herself to hold back, Brother Xiaoshu is not in luck (≧O≦)〃, this is a tactic, well, it must be his tactic.

Na~
Now you know how difficult Ma Xiaoshu is, right?
Master Di waved his hand: "I can't answer it. That guy's brain is abnormal and his personality is frizzy. He sings all by shouting. What if he tears his vocal cords in his eagerness?"

Mama Gao: "If the vocal cords are torn, you can't sing anymore?"

Di Ye: "The vocal cords are torn, so he has an excuse to concentrate on variety shows! I don't want him to do such an easy way of making money. Let him learn music theory and practice singing. I'm exhausted!"

Gao Wen nodded: "Yeah! He's exhausted!"

Gao Mama endured and endured, and didn't beat her, because it's the New Year's Eve.

She turned her head and asked, "He's out of his mind, you still teach him?"

Master Di: "I have nothing to do when I'm idle."

"Idle? Aren't you planning for this year's "Star of the East"? Where is it being held?"

Di Ye said: "Jakarta. I won't go this year. I will also sing for Uzbeks or Kazakhs. It's boring."

"Oriental Star" is the top competition hall for young singers in Asia, and it is 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 go to the world stage, young singers from many countries participated in the competition for the Golden Mask Award, which symbolizes the new singer of Asia.

As a folk singer in the Western Regions, Di Ye often participates as a guest, but because of the similar language, he often cooperates with Uzbek and Kazakh singers.

The people who invited him this year were still singers from those two countries, and their level was not good enough.

Gao Wen muttered, "Then you can help the Chinese singer."

Di Ye: "Hehe... I can't afford to lose that person. Do you think there are any Chinese singers who broke into the second round of "Oriental Star" over the years?"

What is the level of Chinese pop singers in recent years?
a shame!

Not to mention comparing with the international second-rate level, it can't compare with the third-rate level, it just doesn't enter the stream.

Gao Wen was very unconvinced: "That's my house... Uh, it's Ma Xiaoshu who didn't go!"

Di Ye: "It's even more embarrassing for him to go. He can sing badly and look ugly. He also deserves the "Oriental Star" Golden Mask Award? Why don't you say he won the Grammy? Bad luck! Don't talk about him."

Gao Wen is full of anger, brother Xiaoshu is not unlucky, he is angry.

However, she also understands that her boyfriend will not participate in "Oriental Star". On the one hand, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement in singing skills; The part of being hanged and beaten.

That stage was not comparable to an amateur singing competition like "Shining Star".

There was absolutely no need for Ma Xiaoshu to...be hanged and beaten.

In fact, Ma Xiaoshu did receive an invitation from "Eastern Star", but he rejected it without even thinking about it. I finally got out of the talent show, and I haven't made enough money yet, so I went to participate in the competition again?
I am often stupid, but not a fool.

Of course, there are always idiots who will go, Jackdaw and Liu Zexu decided to go, and even called to encourage Ma Xiaoshu, but they were flatly rejected.

Ma Xiaoshu lived comfortably at home for a year, leisurely followed his parents to visit relatives, happily beat up his two cousins, and was in a happy mood.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Ma Xiaoshu flew from the mountain city to London alone.

He is going there for a 20-day field survival training to prepare for the next show. The coach he chose is Pete, one of Mr. Pei’s cameramen. The training venue is also the most advanced. Both Mr. Pei and Mr. De are here Did basic training.

Of course, what Ma Xiaoshu needs to learn is only 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 Mr. Sha Yi who had arrived one step earlier.

Lao Sha's face was wrinkled: "Brother, it's too hard to earn money for this show! Special training? Look at me as an old bone, can you bear it?"

Ma Xiaoshu: "Be patient, the audience loves to watch it."

If you don't come to be abused, the audience's fun will be halved.

To be honest, Lao Sha was a bit miserable by Ma Xiaoshu, let alone whether the special training was hard or not, just say that the 20 days, for an artist, can actually make a lot of money.

Sha Yi could choose to quit, but he didn't. This is a long-term consideration of his personal career.

In the past two years, relying on variety shows, Lao Sha's career has been a little smoother, but he always goes to various shows, big and small, to be a guest star 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 produce a stable work, not asking how popular it is, as long as it can last for a few seasons.

The two soon came to the training base, met the coach Pete, Ma Xiaoshu met him on the show of Mr. Pei, and invited him to be the technical director of the new show.

Peter Teppie, as soon as they met, invited Ma Xiaoshu and Sha Yi to taste the authentic British food, and they almost threw up.

The next special training was even more difficult than the British cuisine. Ma Xiaoshu was like a duck to water with his strong physical fitness. Teacher Sha cried when he was trained. He really cried.

A week later, Ma Xiaoshu left Sha Yi and flew to Los Angeles to attend the Grammy Awards Ceremony.

Originally, Ma Xiaoshu thought he was just going through the motions, singing two songs like a Chinese music festival to earn some money, but unexpectedly the foreign artists were quite enthusiastic, and many of them came to greet Ma Xiaoshu, chat and take photos.

Foreigners found that Jaylen Ma was really dumb, and became more and more interested. He is now also an Internet celebrity abroad.

But Ma Xiaoshu didn't know them, he didn't know any of them, his face was full of bewilderment, he couldn't even recognize people from inside entertainment, let alone foreign singers.

Fortunately, he, English, is not bad, and he can barely communicate with them, so he won't really be a fool.

He participated in the awards ceremony in a daze, and was invited to sing a bilingual version of "Kiss Goodbye" in the middle of the stage, and then stepped off the stage to continue to be dazed and distracted.

It wasn't until the black brother next to him patted him on the shoulder that Ma Xiaoshu came to his senses. Looking at the applauding foreigners, he realized that he probably...won the prize.

"Farewell" was nominated for the best composition award, but did not win the award.

"Blue and White Porcelain" was nominated for the Best Pop Song Award, and naturally it was also running with it.

Now it is announced that the winner of the Best Newcomer Award for 2022-Jaylen Ma.

Ma Xiaoshu buttoned up his suit and stood up, a sweet foreign girl rushed over and gave him a big hug, followed by the second, and the third.

Who are you?who are you?
Ma Xiaoshu hugged several girls, shook hands with several men, trotted onto the stage, and took over the small phonograph from Beyoncé and Kelly. The base is black and the horn is gold. of.

The Grammy Awards Ceremony does not have a live TV broadcast in China, but Douyin has a live broadcast. After all, Ma Xiaoshu has been nominated, and the attention is not bad.

However, almost everyone believed that it was impossible for Ma Xiaoshu to win the award. Because of cultural differences, although Ma Xiaoshu was popular abroad, he was not as popular as his competitors.

Gao Wen, however, was full of longing and had been watching the live broadcast. She didn't get the first two awards, so she almost gave up. After all, the best newcomer award is most likely reserved for European and American newcomers.

But this award happened to be won, and Gao Wen screamed with joy.

Even the scantily clad girls took turns hugging Ma Xiaoshu, but she wasn't jealous. After screaming, she put her hips on her hips and laughed, thinking about how to show off to her father.

The two female singers in charge of presenting 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 delivered 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 only here to perform songs, but you gave me a trophy, which is too 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 continuous applause and screams, and everyone was obviously surprised.

The Grammy Award for Best Newcomer is one of the most valuable awards, and it is really unbelievable to award it to a Chinese.

Many foreign viewers who watched the live broadcast couldn't understand it, but there was no reason to refute it after listening to Ma Xiaoshu's album. The first classic is really amazing.

The most important thing is that Ma Xiaoshu's songs have more than 20 billion plays in China, and more than 3 million in Europe and the United States. The European and American data alone crushes newcomers in the same period.

In addition, there is also the judges' preference for Ma Xiaoshu.

His more than a dozen original songs are not popular among ordinary people abroad, but they are widely circulated and sought after among professional musicians.

For example, the song "Love Song of the West Sea" that Hao Shengyin thought was earthy.

After the Grammy awards ceremony, Ma Xiaoshu took a selfie with a phonograph to thank the audience, and posted it on Douyin and Toktik respectively.

Ma Xiaoshu: "Today, I got a gramophone, thank you fans!"

Then, the domestic entertainment music circle... exploded, and the Chinese Music Festival and someone were scolded on the trending searches again.
