The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1227 A Little Surprise
The Staples Center was boiling like an active volcano that continued to erupt, with wonderful performances coming one after another with no room to breathe.

However, in the practice room in the corner of the court, the scene was quite different.

Focused, devoted, immersed, as if in a parallel space, the band's rehearsal is in full swing on August 31st.

Not only Anson, but also Miles, Connor, Lily and others were extremely excited.

There was no time to be nervous at this point. I even temporarily forgot that this was the Grammy Awards ceremony and focused entirely on the practice and cooperation in front of me.

boom!
Suddenly, Dan Higgins pushed open the door of the practice room. He was no longer able to care about so many things at this time. He looked at Anson with an anxious face and shouted.

"Guys, emergency!"

Playing, paused, and stared at Higgins in surprise and shock.

Higgins didn't have time to explain, he grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV -

The CBS live broadcast signal has switched to the image on the big screen on site, showing the nominees for an award.

Best Alternative Album!
Ah, that’s it.

There was no need for further explanation, as it dawned on me in an instant that this was one of the awards the band had been nominated for on August 31st, and according to common practice, the live camera should be aimed at the candidates at this time, and then capture the expressions of the winners and losers at the moment the awards were announced.

At this time, there was no live camera in the practice room, and the on-site director could not pay attention to the expressions of the August 31st band; but they still needed to be prepared.

What if the band won the award on August 31st?
Higgins' heart was beating wildly, but he didn't have time to be nervous or panic. He stared at the TV screen intently, freezing for a short while.

A short clip of the last candidate just happened to appear on the screen.

August 31st Band!
In the practice room, Anson and the others high-fived each other, and at this moment, they finally felt the reality.

Nominees for Best Alternative Album: The White Stripes, Radiohead, Yeah-Yeah-Yeahs, Sigur-Ros, August 31st.

Alternative, indeed alternative.

It can be seen from the list of nominees that they are all bands that inject different styles and elements into rock music to present different musical charms. Each nominee has a unique color.

In some ways, the competition for Best Alternative Album is even more intense than in the rock category.

So, in the eyes of Anson and others, nomination is victory.

They tried to incorporate classical instruments into pop music, and the rock genre was hailed as rebellious, showing the unique style of resonance and harmony between instruments in an authentic way. They never thought that such a type of music could be seen and heard, and even won a Grammy nomination.

It’s been a long and arduous journey, but we finally made it to the Grammys.

Just then, a voice came from the TV.

"…The winner is – Midsummer Midnight, August 31st."

Oh yeah, congratulations!

Very good, now that we have focused on the awards, we should get back to practicing.

The drumbeats sounded again.

Higgins: ???

Something is wrong, right?
"Hey! We, it's us!"

Higgins' eyes widened and he almost choked on his saliva, but he didn't care about that.

"Go, go, go, go!"

He kept shouting and waving.

Anson and the others were also confused and did not follow the pace of the scene at all, but they could not care less at this time and just swarmed out reflexively.

Wait, who? Who did you say won the award?

Was it August 31st? Did they win a Grammy?

My mind was filled with a mess of cotton wool and I had no time to think carefully. I just ran all the way, in a panic and staggering.

Higgins followed at the rear, shouting, and the voice led the way.

"Go, go, go, go, go!" Despite the panic and nervousness, despite the sudden emergency tonight completely disrupted the plan, but at the critical moment, Higgins still used his expertise to firmly grasp the center of gravity and control the situation in the chaos.

The qi sinks into the dantian, and the voice is loud and clear.

All the busy figures coming and going in the backstage spontaneously made way, just like the Red Sea clearing the road to welcome Moses.

There was a frantic rush and a mighty roar as the procession passed by, and there was chaos in the backstage.

However, in front of the stage, the scene was quite different.

Everything was quiet, not a sound could be heard.

Under the spotlight, the award presenters John Mayer and Matthew Perry looked a little flustered, looking around.

But there was still no sign of the band August 31st.

How to do?
The people at the Staples Center looked at each other and exchanged glances wildly.

As a general rule, if the winner is absent, the organizer must prepare a second plan and have someone else receive the award on his or her behalf. They will never allow the situation to become awkward.

However, this did not happen when the band won the award on August 31st.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This also confirmed the speculation that something was definitely wrong with the band on August 31st, and they might even leave the Staples Center, creating an emergency so that CBS TV station would not have time to come up with a countermeasure.

Now, with this live broadcast accident, the Grammy Awards will probably become a laughing stock.

In the panic, Matthew Perry showed his talent as a comedian.

He repeated the call in the voice of Chandler Bing in "Friends", deliberately drawing out the ending tone and with a little panic and embarrassment.

"August...31st..."

At the same time, he secretly waved his hands below, signaling the audience to applaud.

That expression of pleading for help instantly brought him into the world of "Friends". The entire audience burst into laughter and the applause rang out again as expected.

Anyway, everyone is ready to watch the show.

Not only them, but also the square in front of the Staples Center was crowded with spectators. Even though they could not enter the venue, they still stayed where they were, hoping to watch the award ceremony from the front line. The giant screen on the outer wall of the Staples Center was broadcasting the grand event inside simultaneously.

Gloria and Archie were among them.

Archie can't control his worries about what's happening to Anson and the band. He tries to stop himself from thinking too much, but he finds it hard to control himself.

My heartbeat had long lost its rhythm.

Then, at this moment——

flutter.

A figure broke free from the side stage and rushed onto the stage, startling everyone at the scene.

One, two, three, four, they came out one after another.

Matthew turned around and raised his voice, smiling, "August 31st!"

Blah blah blah, blah blah.

The audience at the Staples Center looked at the August 31st band in disbelief, as if they were a magician performing a miracle.

Anson, didn't leave?

what happened?

So, what happened tonight?
Archie stood up suddenly, pumped his fist and cheered silently.

Anson, that's Anson!
Gloria also raised her arms high, looked at Archie with surprise, and shouted silently. The whole square burst into cheers in an instant.

On the stage, under the spotlight, the sweat on Anson's forehead was shining, and that brilliant smile instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire Staples Center.

An indescribable joy and excitement erupted after a long period of suppression, suspicion, complaints and denials, bursting out with astonishing energy and sweeping the entire audience.
