Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

The Grammy Awards is one of the four major performing arts awards in the world. Its status in the music industry is similar to the Oscars in the film industry, the Emmy Awards in the television industry, and the Tony Awards in the theater industry. Therefore, every year when this award is presented, it is a major event in the music industry.

Before the award ceremony officially began, the red carpet was already spectacular.

Many big stars from the music industry attended the event in their best attire. Their dressing styles varied and each one was carefully dressed, making it a feast for the eyes.

Taylor was undoubtedly a highlight on the red carpet. She wore a dark blue dress, a short top with a super long skirt, which cleverly elongated her figure, making her body proportions almost perfect.

The dark blue dress was dotted with sparkling silver rhinestones like stars, shining brightly under the light, as if the deep night sky was draped over her body.

That unique and aggressive beauty in the world of fame and fortune instantly became the focus of the entire audience, attracting countless cameras and flashing spotlights.

Beyonce's appearance also attracted countless eyes. The dress she wore was uniquely designed. The nude bra hook on the upper body showed off her proud curves, showing a sexy and fashionable charm. The golden skirt on the lower body sparkled under the light, and the shiny material added a bit of gorgeousness for her.

This undoubtedly became one of the most eye-catching looks on the red carpet, amazed the audience and media present and became a hot topic.

The burgundy velvet dress that Adele wore was also quite stunning. The neckline of the dress was an exaggerated ruffle, which was full of retro charm. It was perfect with her big golden wavy hair.

It can be evaluated with a sharp word: the light she exudes is much more dazzling than the diamond earrings she wears!

Looking at the red carpet, European and American stars showed off their style.

Most of the female stars attracted attention with their exaggerated and hot looks, showing their unique charm; more than half of the male stars wore suits and dresses, showing their gentlemanly demeanor; in comparison, some rock and pop stars dressed more casually, and many people still insisted on their love for T-shirts and jeans, and attended the event in a relaxed and casual outfit.

However, Shen Lang's appearance was undoubtedly a bright spot on the red carpet.

This time, his appearance instantly ignited the atmosphere at the scene, with screams and cheers rising one after another.

Because in the past year, Shen Lang released two English albums and held 50 concerts. With his outstanding musical talent and unique personal charm, his popularity and fame have reached new heights.

And tonight he chose Hanfu again, but this time the style was changed to Ming Dynasty Feiyufu.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei often wore Feiyu clothing on solemn occasions such as the morning sun, the evening moon, the farming season, and the viewing of livestock in the Forbidden City. This clothing was not only a symbol of status, but also revealed majesty and domineering.

On the red carpet, Shen Lang, wearing a Feiyu suit, showed oriental charm in his every move. The exquisite embroidery, smooth lines, and unique design made him seem like he walked out of the scroll of history.

His fans are already familiar with his Hanfu style. In previous concerts, he has displayed various styles of Hanfu, and each time left a deep impression on people.

After walking down the red carpet and entering the venue, Justin ran over to chat with Shen Lang.

To be honest, he has been in the European and American music scene for more than a year, but he doesn't really know many European and American singers, Justin is one of them, and the other is the Coldplay band.

However, neither of them was nominated for a Grammy this year because Justin only released an R&B single "Good Foot" in collaboration with Timbaland last year; Coldplay even faded out of the public eye to focus on album production.

After chatting for a while, Justin said, "You are under a lot of pressure tonight."

Shen Lang was slightly startled, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked back: "Me?"

Justin nodded and said seriously: "Yes, your biggest competitor Charles has a considerable advantage."

At this time, Taylor on the side listened quietly to the conversation between the two.

Charles, she knows, was hailed as the American soul king. After his death last year, he released "Genius Loves Company", a song that combines soul, rock, R&B, country, jazz and blues. The album ranked second on the US pop music chart in September as soon as it was released. This is also the best-selling album of his lifetime, with 9 million copies sold in the United States alone. He also received 210 nominations at this year's Grammy Awards.

Among them, Charles competed with Shen Lang for some awards.

Shen Lang had a calm smile on his face and said calmly, "I don't feel any pressure. As for winning the award, I'll just go with the flow."

When Justin heard Shen Lang's words, a look of surprise appeared on his face. In his opinion, the Grammy Award is an honor that countless singers dream of, but Shen Lang was so nonchalant, as if this award was not important to him.

Taylor is full of confidence in Shen Lang. In her eyes, the two albums released by Shen Lang last year are top-notch in the industry in terms of music quality and sales, and no one can match them.

At the same time, in another place in the venue, Beyonce, JAY-Z, Katherine and others sat together, and the topic also revolved around the competition between Shen Lang and Charles.

Beyoncé smiled lightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and said, "How can he compare with Charles?"

JAY-Z also laughed and echoed, "Charles' death will win him more votes in the selection. I'm afraid Shen Lang will find it difficult to compete with him."

Catherine squinted her eyes and said with disdain, "In terms of the depth of the songs alone, Charles is miles ahead of him."

These people usually had some conflicts with Shen Lang, so at this moment they naturally supported Charles one-sidedly, and their words were full of contempt for Shen Lang.

At the same time, far away in Yanjing, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were staring at the TV screen, watching the live broadcast of this year's Grammy Awards ceremony with full concentration.

Relying on his own strength and influence, Shen Lang successfully opened the door to the Grammy Awards, which greatly increased the domestic attention to the Grammy Awards.

It is for this reason that CCTV Music Channel, Yanjing Music Radio and Sina.com have all spent money to purchase the copyright of the Grammy Awards ceremony for live broadcast, allowing many domestic music lovers to watch this musical feast first hand.

Liu Yifei leaned forward slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation, as if she was paying more attention to the results of the award ceremony than Shen Lang himself.

Shu Chang would occasionally look through his laptop, browsing netizens' discussions about the award ceremony.

Liu Yifei sighed softly and said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that the red carpet ceremony is not broadcast live, so we can't see what dress Brother Lang is wearing today."

Shu Chang stared at the screen and responded casually: "There are pictures online. It's the Feiyu suit from the Ming Dynasty. It's so handsome."

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved closer to Shu Chang and said anxiously, "Where is it? Let me see."

Shu Chang slid the mouse skillfully and quickly found the picture of Shen Lang wearing a flying fish suit that he had browsed before.

Liu Yifei took a closer look, and a sweet smile instantly appeared on her face that was originally a little regretful, and her eyes were full of appreciation. The Feiyu suit worn on Shen Lang not only set off his tall figure, but also showed a unique oriental charm, which made her fascinated. Shu Chang looked at her crazy look and couldn't help but laugh and teased: "Oh, our fairy sister, my saliva is about to flow out."

Liu Yifei finally reacted and subconsciously slurped her saliva. A blush appeared on her face, and she turned and retorted coquettishly: "Humph, you are the one drooling."

The two were laughing and joking when the lights on the stage suddenly became dazzling and the award ceremony officially began.

They instantly fell silent, their eyes shifting to the TV screen.

However, for the next hour, the awards ceremony on stage seemed a bit dull.

Most of those awards were given to singers who were little known in the country, and the genres of music involved were also relatively unpopular.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang's originally expectant expressions gradually became a little tired, their eyes began to become blurry, sleepiness unconsciously welled up in their hearts, and they felt drowsy.

In fact, it’s not just the two of them. Many viewers in China who are watching the live broadcast in front of their TVs also have the same feeling.

The reason why everyone paid so much attention to the Grammy Awards ceremony was mainly because of Shen Lang and Taylor.

It was difficult for the audience to arouse interest in those relatively niche awards and unfamiliar singers, and they were all looking forward to the moment when Shen Lang and Taylor appeared.

And this moment didn't make everyone wait too long. The cheerful music started and Taylor, wearing a blue dress, walked onto the stage.

She was one of the performers, singing "Love Story," which was nominated for Best Country Song.

Along with the melodious melody, Taylor's clear and infectious voice came out slowly: "We were both young when I first saw you (when I first saw you, we were both young), I close my eyes and the flashback starts (I close my eyes and the past scenes reappear in my mind), I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air (I stand on the balcony and the air is full of the smell of summer)..."

Gradually, the audience was immersed in the romantic atmosphere she created.

The song that Shen Lang created for Taylor brought her to the peak of her career as soon as she debuted.

At the age of 15, she won the Billboard No. 500 single, and with over million digital downloads, it became the most downloaded country song in the United States. It was also the first country music single in history to win the Billboard Pop Radio Singles Chart.

Not only that, this song also nominated Taylor for three Grammy awards: Best New Artist, Best Female Country Vocalist and Best Country Song.

However, many singers at the scene did not think so. In their opinion, Taylor was able to rise to fame only because of Shen Lang's help.

They selectively ignored Taylor's own efforts and talents. They didn't know, or didn't believe, that this seemingly young and immature girl would grow into a world-class superstar in the future and shine brightly on the music stage.

As the last note of "Love Story" slowly dissipated in the air, the award ceremony arrived as expected, and the award for Best Country Song happened to be presented.

Taylor returned to his seat, feeling much more nervous than when he was performing on the coveted Grammy stage.

After all, this is her first time to be nominated for a Grammy, and for her, the Grammy is an extremely important pursuit in her music career.

Shen Lang keenly captured the subtle changes in Taylor's emotions. He reached out and gently patted the back of Taylor's hand, giving her silent comfort.

Taylor turned around and saw Shen Lang's smile, which was like the warm sunshine in spring, carrying a reassuring power.

Shen Lang whispered: "Relax."

With his encouragement, Taylor's nervousness was relieved a lot.

In fact, she knows in her heart that her competitors are all seniors in the field of country music. These seniors have worked in the country music scene for many years and have a deep musical foundation and wide influence.

As for me, I am just a newcomer who has just made a name for myself. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to stand out in such fierce competition.

However, Taylor has a trust in Shen Lang that is almost worshipful.

After all, "Love Story" was a song tailor-made for her by Shen Lang. Shen Lang's talent and understanding of music made her firmly believe that this song had a unique charm. So, on the one hand, she felt that it was unlikely for her to win an award as a newcomer. On the other hand, she felt that with Shen Lang's blessing, winning the award seemed reasonable.

In this way, Taylor waited quietly for the award presenter to announce the final result in a complex emotion of nervousness and anticipation.

Finally, the clear and loud voice of the award presenter rang out in the venue: "The winner of the 47th Best Country Song is...'Love Story', Taylor!"

When Taylor heard her name being spoken by the award presenter, she was stunned at first. For a few seconds, she seemed to be immersed in disbelief. Then, her original nervousness was instantly replaced by surprise and joy, and her eyes were shining with excitement.

Shen Lang on the side had a gentle smile on his face and clapped calmly, as if he had expected all this.

After a moment of daze, Taylor stood up excitedly and hugged Shen Lang tightly.

Shen Lang patted her back gently and whispered, "Go up."

Amid warm applause, Taylor slowly walked onto the stage. The moment she held the trophy in both hands, tears flowed uncontrollably.

In front of the TV, Shu Chang said with envy: "She won a Grammy at the age of 16. She is invincible."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips slightly and said, "Brother Lang taught me well."

At this time, Taylor, who had adjusted his mood, began to give his acceptance speech.

She first sincerely thanked the Grammy organizers and jury for their recognition, and thanked her parents for their continued support.

And then, the person she mentioned most in her words was Shen Lang. She expressed her praise and gratitude to Shen Lang without hesitation. From composing songs to guiding singing, the help Shen Lang gave her was reflected in her words one by one.

Hearing these words, Shen Lang looked at Taylor on the stage with gentle eyes and a gratified smile on his face.

I thought of the young girl when I first met Taylor, and now she is shining on the Grammy stage, and my heart is filled with emotion.

He saw Taylor's growth and success and kept it in mind. It was due to his cultivation, but more importantly, it was the reward of Taylor's own efforts. (End of this chapter)
