The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1232 Don't Be Serious
Noisy, lively, bustling.

During the short halftime, the Staples Center was busy.

However, it was fleeting, and before we even had time to relax, the second half of the award ceremony was ready and the live broadcast was about to start again.

Wait, this is a bit weird.

The stage, no change, what's going on?

At the Grammys, performance is undoubtedly the top priority. The lighting, scenery and design of each stage will be specially adjusted to present the audience with the best performance feast.

Among them, the opening of the first and second half is the absolute focus.

This year's Grammy opened with Beyoncé, which shows the importance of the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences; the second half was originally going to open with Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross, showing the past and present of the Grammy.

As a result, the "Super Bowl incident" disrupted the original plan without warning, and things fell into a maze. How the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences would handle the opening performance of the second half became the focus of Hollywood.

This is a hot potato——

Everyone knows that this is an opportunity, and if they seize it well, they can become famous overnight; but at the same time, they are under tremendous pressure, and they have to rush to do it with only a short week left before the awards ceremony. What if something goes wrong?
At that time, people may respond with sympathy, but sympathy is of no help. Behind the pity and regret is gloating and taking advantage of others' misfortune.

For a while, Hollywood rumors were rife, but none of them were confirmed.

CBS TV station has done a good job of keeping the secret, and no information has been leaked until today, which has made the expectations of the guests on the night of the awards ceremony reach a peak.

But at this time?
Normally, the halftime period is for setting up the stage, but now the stage has not changed at all and it looks like there is no preparation at all.

An ominous premonition quietly emerged:
Is it possible that the Grammys simply could not find a suitable substitute, and had to hastily use the fourteenth substitute plan at the last minute, having to go on stage anyway, so that there was no time to set up the stage?

Will this turn into a disaster?
In a flash, all kinds of speculations and thoughts surged in the air.

Depressing and dull, tense and anxious.

The entire Staples Center was like a pressure cooker, tense to the extreme.

Five. Three. Two. One.

In the second half, the live broadcast begins.

However, the stage was still empty, without scenery or lighting, crude and primitive, simple and mediocre, lying there nakedly.

It's like a joke.

"Live broadcast accident" was probably the common thought in everyone's mind at the Staples Center. This was the second live broadcast accident within a week after the Super Bowl, which was enough to go down in the history of North American television.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that CBS TV delayed the broadcast for five minutes, so the American audience has not yet discovered the disaster.

Gloria's mind was also filled with question marks at this moment. The big screen at the Staples Center was broadcasting live simultaneously, and they could see the situation inside simultaneously, but no one had an answer and didn't know what was going on.

Archie looked at Gloria, believing that Gloria had the answers to all his questions.

But Gloria was also stunned, spreading her hands, knowing nothing.

"is this normal?"

"I do not know either."

"Isn't this a live broadcast accident?"

"I don't know either."

Not only them, but all the spectators at the entrance of Staples Center were confused. No one understood what was happening and no one knew how to deal with it.

However, at this moment.

Archie stared at the screen with wide eyes and exclaimed incoherently.

"what……"

Gloria looked over reflexively and froze in place.

Anson? Who else but Anson Wood?

Everyone inside and outside the Staples Center was stunned and shocked.

what happened?

On the simple stage, there are no dazzling lights, no turning off all lights and then turning on spotlights to create a mysterious effect. Everything is straightforward, showing every corner of the stage before your eyes.

Then, Anson came on the scene.

A light blue vertical striped collarless shirt, a light grey suit jacket and trousers, but the sleeves of the suit jacket are rolled up in half, paired with a pair of white flat cloth shoes, it looks casual and relaxed.

Carrying a guitar on his back, with clean sleeves, he looked relaxed and casual, as if he had just passed by the Staples Center by chance and happened to see the bustle here so he came to visit.

Some time ago, Anson performed in a New York bar, where at least there was a light and a chair, creating a quiet and beautiful atmosphere.

There was no light or chairs in front of me, and it was even more rudimentary.

No matter how bad or chaotic the situation was, at least the lighting technician could control the situation with a spotlight, focusing attention on Anson, covering up the simplicity and crudeness of the stage, while creating opportunities for the on-site staff to save the situation and prevent things from getting worse.

However, this also did not happen.

The stage lights were fully on, showing this undecorated and unadorned platform in every detail, exposing all its ugly aspects right before our eyes.

Unbelievable, unimaginable.

This scene was so unexpected and shocking that it made everyone lose the ability to react. All the guests and audiences inside and outside the Staples Center were frozen in their tracks.

Everyone was dumbfounded, stunned, staring at the stage, but no one knew what was happening?
and so--

Is this the opening performance of the second half, the August 31st band coming to the rescue? Or is it Anson who comes on stage to inform everyone that there was an accident during the live broadcast, and now all the guests are needed to cooperate and perform a miracle within five minutes?
Or maybe Anson will do a stand-up comedy to save face? It's not like the entire CBS TV live broadcast team will turn into zombies and a Hollywood movie will be shown at the Staples Center the next second, right?
For a moment, my mind was full of wild thoughts.

But no one knew the correct answer. They all stared at Anson like fools.

At this moment, Anson is the only one who holds the answer.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Anson walked calmly to the microphone, bathing in the bustling yet silent gaze of the audience, with a smile rising slightly at the corners of his mouth.

"Hello, good evening."

Actually, they said hello?

But he did not introduce himself, nor did he say anything else. Then, Anson lowered his head, immersed in his own world.

However, Anson picked up the guitar on his back, held it in his arms, and lightly touched the strings with his fingertips, and clear and bright string sounds spread out.

Ripples are spreading gently on the lake of my heart.

However, Anson did not play along. Instead, he pressed the strings with his fingertips and raised his head again, his face full of concentration.

"Cough cough."

Cleared his throat.

"let's start."

Wait, what is starting? How did it start? Where are the other members of the August 31st band? Why did Anson appear on stage? How did it start?

Question marks, one after another, almost submerged the entire Staples Center.

However, there was still no time to breathe, because Anson had already begun -

No accompaniment, no melody, just singing a cappella.

Everything returns to its original simplicity, back to the original state, with only a voice. Strip away the complexity and wash away the dross to show the most essential appearance of the voice.
