Chapter 249 The Struggle Behind the Grammys

In a restaurant in New York, Li Hyuk and Taylor had dinner together.

Seeing Li He's clumsy way of cutting steak with a knife and fork, Taylor couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling: "You're a bit clumsy too, the plate will be shredded."

Li He glared at Taylor and said, "As long as you can say, if you have the ability to eat Chinese food, you can feel the charm of chopsticks."

"It's not that I haven't eaten. There are many Chinese restaurants in Chinatown." Taylor said.

"Those Chinese food are not authentic. If you have time to go to Huaxia, I will take you to eat eight major cuisines, so that you can feel what real Chinese food is." Li He said.

Taylor's eyes lit up: "Okay, this year I plan to go on a tour in China again, you are the host, please treat me well."

"Don't worry, Sichuan cuisine will be arranged for you." Li He smiled triumphantly.

Although Lee Hyuk himself can't take spicy food very well, he thinks he can last longer than Taylor Swift.

At this year's Grammys, Lee Hyuk and Taylor had a performance task together, but the Grammy didn't give Lee Hyuk more space to perform, so he sang a duet with Taylor and ended.

In terms of winning awards, although Fantasy Records and Sony Music have invested a lot of public relations, the public relations team believes that Lee Hyuk has little hope of winning the award.

As we all know, Oscars can be publicized. Behind an Oscar movie winning, there are tens of millions of dollars in public relations expenses.

The Grammys are the same, public relations can be achieved with money.On the premise that the quality of the music is not bad, whoever does a good job in public relations may win the prize.

But apart from the investment in public relations, Li Hyuk has another disadvantage. He is not white or black, or even American.

The exclusivity of North American society is vividly reflected in the music scene. Apart from the British and Americans, very few singers from other countries have been nominated for Grammys, let alone awards.

The most troublesome thing is that Li Hyuk is still a yellow race who is looked down upon, not an islander, nor a Korean, but a Chinese.

This is an inherent disadvantage, so the public relations team believes that getting nominated is already a good achievement, and the hope of winning the award is very small.

Li Hyuk also achieved nothing. After all, in order to prevent Li Hyuk from being listed on the US Billboard, they even revised the rules of the Billboard this year, stipulating that singers from non-US companies cannot be on the list.

Lee Hyuk is a singer of Fantasy Records, and his overseas distribution work is to cooperate with Sony Music Asia, and of course he is not a signed singer of a local American record company.

Even the Public Security Bureau officials wanted to cancel Li Hyuk's four championship singles, but doing so would be suspected of slapping his face, so he didn't do it in the end.

In the field of pop culture, people still attach great importance to it. Li Hyuk was immediately suppressed when he made a point of attack. Now the popularity of Li Hyuk on Youtube and Google is severely suppressed.

Of course, Li Hyuk's reputation has already been established, and European and American fans can still learn about Li Hyuk and his music through various channels.

At this point, some people may ask, why is Li Hyuk being suppressed?However, the cultural works of musicians in Japan and South Korea will not.

It's very simple, does the son dare to defy his father?In particular, this father is super powerful and lives directly in your house. He is a big mouther if he dares to resist.

Under such absolute control, if you give some sweet dates to eat, your son will be grateful.

But Li He is different. Li He and the family he represents are not here to be sons, but to grab food. How can the Jiang who wants to be a father be happy.

In the eyes of that sauce, the world has always been a zero-sum game, where the weak prey on the strong, and they never thought about win-win cooperation.

This is especially true in the field of popular culture, which has a great discourse power.

With the help of Hollywood and the pop music scene, that sauce has harvested waves of spiritual food all over the world and cultivated batches of diehards.

Under such circumstances, even if Li Hyuk didn't come to snatch food or engage in culture wars, that sauce still wouldn't let him go.

Think about Michael Jackson, if he hadn't been a black man, he wouldn't have had those slanders and encounters later.

There is a reason for saying so much: but Li Hyuk has achieved a certain level in pop music, and the meaning he represents has surpassed himself, and has become a representative of a culture.

As a cultural image promotion ambassador, Lee Hyuk has long surpassed himself as a musician.It is also because of this official status that those large domestic capitals and large flows dare not make dirty moves against Li Helai, and it also leads to hostility from other cultural forces.

On January 28, the No.60 Grammy Awards Ceremony was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

This awards ceremony is Grammy's [-]th birthday. Many superstars attended the awards ceremony and gave wonderful performances.

The award ceremony was hosted by James Corden, and CBS and Penguin Video were responsible for the broadcast of the ceremony.

The Penguin video broadcast is naturally because of Li Hyuk. Netizens are very concerned about whether Li Hyuk will win the Grammy this time.

The red carpet ceremony started soon, because of Taylor's relationship, Li Hyuk's red carpet time was naturally shot very late.

On the red carpet, Taylor and Lee Hyuk appeared very close, and even at the request of the reporter, Taylor even kissed Lee Hyuk on the cheek in a funny way, causing fans to scream.

But Reba, who was watching the live broadcast in China, couldn't be happier. This Taylor had bad intentions, and Reba was also afraid that Li He wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of Taylor, a giant horse.

This is completely overthinking, if Avril Lavigne is a few years younger, it would be fine, but Li Hyuk has no interest in Taylor, who has a lot of friends.

Red carpet ceremonies all over the world seem to be the same, walking the red carpet, posing, signing autographs for fans, then leaving autographs on the red carpet, and giving interviews.

During the interview, the red carpet host asked Li Hyuk if he was confident of winning the award. Li Hyuk replied: "I am very happy that my music can be recognized by the judges, but I don't think there is much hope of winning the award."

The subtext is, I'm not American and won't win.

Such speeches were naturally regarded as evidence of lack of confidence, and Li Hyuk didn't care about it anymore, he just regarded himself as a tourist.

Sit down in your own place, and soon the awards ceremony will begin.The first is the opening performance, the new generation of American singer Cady Clamathon brought a pure east coast rap performance.

The backup dancers are very interesting. They are actually a group of soldiers wearing Navy SEAL combat uniforms and carrying guns, which is very local.As for whether there are other meanings, Li Hyuk can't figure it out.

After Caddy's performance, Lady Gaga played and sang.

After the two opening songs ended, James Corden took the stage to host, and a generation of jazz legends, a certain old man whom Li He didn't know, presented the first award, the best rap single.

The winner was Cady, who just performed on stage, and won the award for the single he collaborated with Rihanna.

The overall process of the Grammy is to award two to three awards, and then interspersed with the performance of some songs, all major pop singers will go up to show their talents.

Someone once said that if you can conquer the Grammy audience, you conquer the whole world.

As the most concerned award and the highest hall of pop music, the Grammy is essentially a regional award, but this sentence is correct, the audience of the Grammy is so wide.

Even Lee Hyuk, who is a Chinese singer, was nominated, and the fans in China were so excited that it showed the influence of the Grammys.

From this aspect, it is also a local award, and the influence of the Taiwan Golden Melody Award is much smaller.
