The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 494: Surprising performance, the biggest suspense revealed

"How to do?"

Backstage, everyone who had a say in the Grammy Awards gathered together.

Logically speaking, there should be people from Chenguang Entertainment here.

But they found a deserted corner and gathered together where no one else could see them.

What they discussed was also very simple.

“I see the eager look in the eyes of singers from other countries.”

"How many people have already coveted our Grammy Awards? Is this normal?"

"This time is different! Music has been developing for so many years, and this Grammy Awards has attracted the most attention!"

“Yes, I think if we give one of the four major comprehensive awards to Leon, it should make them feel that they can also enter the Grammys in the future.”

"We have never restricted songs from other countries or other languages from entering the Grammy Awards."

"It's fine if you can just lie to others, but don't we know about this?"

"But." The person who had been opposed from the beginning was embarrassed. "We came to China to hold the award ceremony, which has caused many people outside to question whether we are trying to please Lyon too much. If we give awards to Lyon's Chinese songs again, the value of our awards will be lower than after last year's incident, right?"

Hearing this, the dozen or so people at the scene fell silent.

They originally gave Lyon two options.

First, he came to participate in the Grammy Awards, and the Grammy Awards welcomed him back with the highest level of awards. Even the major awards for Chinese songs could be negotiated.

The second was also proposed by Lyon himself, to move the Grammy Awards to China.

But the price is that the Grammy Awards will no longer consider Chinese song awards.

Yes, it is not considered, not the ambiguous "might give".

They also want face.

Chasing to China is not enough. After China hosts the Grammy Awards, will we give Lyon a big award for its Chinese song?
So shameless!
"Now what?"

Isn't the reason they gathered in the corner to discuss because their previous concerns have led to new problems?

Now singers all over the world are waiting for Leon to win the award.

Originally, it was Lyon who won the award in China with a Chinese song, and they would be branded as "licking" Lyon.

Now, it is Lyon who won the award with his Chinese song, which gives singers from other languages hope of entering the Grammy Awards.

This can greatly enhance the Grammy Awards' international influence.

Now there is also the Crystal Award of the United States and the Juno Award of the Maple Leaf Country, which have the potential to catch up with the Grammy Awards.

Even the American Music Awards and Billboard Awards in the United States can threaten the status of the Grammy Awards.

But if the Grammy Awards can make every award ceremony like today's one in China, it can gain popularity among singers from all over the world.

Then it would be nothing short of a pipe dream for music awards in other regions to catch up with the influence of the Grammy Awards.

This is the perfect time to kick off and other music awards.

But this opportunity still carries risks.

This is what they were worried about before. If they held the event in China and gave awards to Lyon's Chinese songs, would they be questioned as "kneeling down and licking the boots"?

Before, they thought they would definitely be questioned for "kneeling down and licking the boots".

Now they believe that the risk has been reduced to a level where the desire of singers from all over the world makes it worth taking the risk.

This is why they came here to discuss secretly while the award ceremony is still going on.

You said the awards should be decided before the awards ceremony?
It’s okay to fool ordinary people, but don’t believe this kind of thing on your own people.

Now if someone says they want to spend $1 million to buy a prize, they can immediately change the list of winners.

It’s just a matter of whether the benefits are enough.

Now there is a huge temptation before them.

Want it or not?

Should we take this risk or not?
"Everyone, vote!"

Several people looked at each other and picked up a piece of paper from the ground in front of them.

He took out a pen from his pocket, wrote and drew on the piece of paper for a while, then folded the paper and put it back.

The person presiding over this "meeting" took a deep breath, opened the papers one by one, and counted everyone's opinions.

"Okay, this is the result." He spread out all the papers for everyone to see, "Then let's do as everyone wishes!"

“I hope we made the right choice.”

While the Grammy officials were still on their way back to the hall.

At the venue where Zhang Chen was, the R&B music awards ceremony was already taking place.

He looked at Teacher He on the stage and heard the name "Diddy", then looked around the scene curiously.

After noticing that the figure holding up his pants was gone, he curled his lips in a slightly bored manner.

"boss."

Xue Yining, who was standing by, glanced at her phone, then came close to Zhang Chen and whispered something.

"what happened?"

Teacher Song, who was playing with the golden gramophone in his hand, looked over curiously.

"It was what Teacher Song said on the stage that worked." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Oh?" Teacher Song was stunned when he heard that, and then he started laughing, "Looks like there's a surprise tonight?"

"Maybe. I didn't get any more details."

This is Zhang Chen's territory.

How could he not know about the small meeting being held in his house?

As soon as the Grammy executives ran to the corner, they were noticed by the surveillance cameras that were everywhere in the venue.

Although these people were very careful and did not reveal the results of their negotiations.

But it was enough for Zhang Chen to know that things were turning around.

"By the way, where's your little girl?"

Teacher Song had been sitting next to Zhang Chen for a long time, but he didn't see the "tail-follower" next to Zhang Chen, which was very strange.

Although she doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, she is still very familiar with Sun Fangping.

When the two chatted privately, they often heard about this little girl who had always followed Zhang Chen and "won" all the stars in China except Zhang Chen.

Why didn't this girl stick to Zhang Chen on this important occasion today?

This is different from what Sun Fangping said.

"Her?" Zhang Chen raised his chin and pointed to the stage, "Look, isn't she over there?"

Teacher Song looked in the direction Zhang Chen indicated.

Liu Yifei has changed her clothes and stood on the stage with four other girls.

"Avril? Taylor? Who are the other two?"

Not only Teacher Song, but everyone else at the scene was shocked.

What kind of magical combination is this?
Looking at the few people who have just come up on the stage.

Avril Lavigne is the drummer?

Taylor Swift is a guitar?
The other two girls with Asian faces are the keyboard player and bassist.

But why aren't Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne the lead singers?

“Isn’t this girl the one who stood next to Leon when he entered just now?”

“I remember her name is Liu?”

"I've been following her for a few years. She was a member of the Princess Team in The Voice of China."

"The one who is rumored to be having an affair with Leon?"

"What a treat, two European and American divas accompanying her, it's really a big deal!"

During the Grammy Awards, many singers will perform.

This is also a Grammy program.

For music-loving audiences, this is the main reason why they continue to pay attention to the Grammy Awards.

After all, no other award ceremony can be like the Grammys, which allows most of the world's superstars, who are rarely seen in daily life, to perform on the same stage for everyone.

During the award ceremony just now, many familiar singers came on stage to sing for everyone.

Most of those singers are still European and American singers.

This time, Liu Yifei stood in the center of the stage as the lead singer, and she was accompanied by Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift, two of the most popular female singers in recent years, to form a band.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he caused a lot of discussion at the scene.

Instead of using two great vocalists, a Chinese singer was asked to be the lead singer.

this.
Everyone was very curious and looked at the five girls on the stage with doubts on their faces.

"Can it be done?"

Even Teacher Song didn't really believe in this little girl Liu Yifei.

She had heard a lot about this little girl from her good friend Sun Fangping. It seemed that this little girl had a reputation as the "Queen of Children's Songs".

Does this joking title really qualify her to perform as a singer on the Grammys, the world's top music stage?
Will you really not be laughed at?
It doesn't matter if Liu Yifei loses someone, after all, she is still young.

But this time the Grammy Awards are held in China.

It is also an identity that is closely tied to Zhang Chen.

If anything went wrong, it would be a disgrace to her personally.

However, no matter how the audience at the scene and in front of the screen questioned, Liu Yifei and others who were already in place on the stage were ready.

When Lin Yuna's piano sounded, everyone shut up.

Whether it’s okay or not, let me tell you after I listen to it.

Don’t question, just listen first.

Whether you like it or not, just listen to it first.

"My dear, where are you hiding?

Is there something on my mind that I still can’t let go of?
We always think too bad about life
Like others not allowing us to be weird

"

It doesn't have the grandma-like voice of the past.

It's a sweet and magnetic voice.

Everyone on site is knowledgeable.

From the "weak mixed" singing at the beginning, you can tell that the singer has a solid foundation.

This is totally beyond the reach of an amateur singer.

Many people sat up straight and listened carefully to the song accompanied only by the piano.

Very story-telling.

This is the first feeling of the singer who doesn’t understand Chinese.

'Goosebumps'

This is the reaction of many singers who understand Chinese after hearing the general meaning of the lyrics.

It fits the inner struggle and unwillingness of a girl trapped in love.

"You gave me a love that I don't want to lose in this life

I believe that the journey of love is the sea of stars

The beautiful story will not change
It's the best arrangement of fate
"

When the song reached its climax and Liu Yifei's emotions were put into the song, the whole story of the song was perfectly presented to all the listeners.

Liu Yifei on the stage did not pay attention to the feedback from the many big names in the audience.

Instead, close your eyes and immerse yourself in the expression of the song.

But the singers at the scene could tell just from her expression without even looking at Liu Yifei's eyes.

The lyrics of this song have made the singer Liu Yifei immersed in the story of the song.

"Love that never loses connection".

The lyrics express a firm belief in love and expectations for the future, although they are not enough to move people to tears.

But it also touched the hearts of some people who have experienced "unrequited love".

What they heard was "love that never loses connection", but what they personally felt was "the beauty that has long been lost".

Who hasn't believed, as Liu Yifei sang, that it can last forever?
Who hasn’t hoped for a better future as described in the lyrics?

unfortunately
".
You are the love that I don't want to lose in this life

Even if your breath is thousands of mountains away
Please believe that the love I give you is worthy of your love——"

When the last note fell, Liu Yifei opened her eyes.

His eyes did not linger on anyone, but went straight to the owner of the seat in the front row.

No one knows what she is thinking at this moment.

But Zhang Chen, who was being looked at directly, could see a lot of things in Liu Yifei's eyes.

The innocence and ignorance have disappeared, and smartness and depth occupy Liu Yifei's eyes.

For a moment, Liu Yifei on the stage began to overlap with the one in his memory.

People's experiences vary greatly, and countless personalities are born.

Zhang Chen has always let Liu Yifei live under his protection.

She was not exposed to the dark side of the world.

He also always hoped that this girl could grow up happily and live a carefree and heartless life.

But when Liu Yifei chose the song "Love Never Lost Connection" which he had originally planned to sing at the concert.

Zhang Chen knew that Liu Yifei was still Liu Yifei.

She is smart and will not stop growing because of the "ivory tower" that Zhang Chen has woven for her.

"Oh my god! That's amazing!"

"Is this still the Yifei I know?"

"When did Yifei become so strong?!"

"This isn't much different from the skills of a professionally trained singer, right?"

"I dare say that Yifei's performance just now is definitely better than more than 90% of the current Chinese singers."

"You can just say that many people in the Chinese entertainment music scene are half-baked, but Yifei's performance just now really deserves this evaluation."

The discussions at the scene interrupted Zhang Chen's thoughts.

He came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and looked at Liu Yifei who was still staring at him on the stage without any movement.

A hint of dissatisfaction began to emerge in those deep eyes.

Zhang Chen quickly stretched out a hand and started clapping, and did not forget to give a thumbs up in the middle.

When Zhang Chen saw the barely perceptible glimmer of pride in the little girl's eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.

This girl.
"I understand why you let her go up there."

Teacher Song, who had been feeling anxious, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Liu Yifei's performance.

She teased Zhang Chen beside her, "I think you should have given this girl a lot of extra lessons, right?"

However, Zhang Chen's answer left Teacher Song stunned for a long while.

"No, she practiced it all by herself." Zhang Chen smiled helplessly.

He actually hoped that Liu Yifei would be more playful.

It also saves me from having to think about going to the concert with him all day long.

Unfortunately, the little girl really overcame the problem she had suffered for twenty years recently.

Every day I get up early with Zhang Chen to practice morning exercises.

Since Zhang Chen didn't teach her, she learned secretly.

In addition, when Zhang Chen was busy with work, he was practicing privately with Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift and others, and Sun Fangping laid the foundation intentionally or unintentionally since childhood, which led to the performance just now.

So Liu Yifei deserves the praise from everyone.

"I used to listen to Liu Yifei's Chinese songs and always felt that they were very profound." The English host of tonight walked over to Liu Yifei and said, "After listening to Liu's live performance today, I am more convinced that Chinese songs will be a major mainstream in the future."

"Of course, with my brother here, Chinese songs will definitely be the brightest star in the future music scene!"

Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and agreed with the host's flattery.

The audience saw the woman who was full of knowledge just now, and then she opened her mouth and said
cute?

They couldn't help but smile and look in Zhang Chen's direction.

Liu Yifei looked so proud, just like a little girl showing off her toys.

Zhang Chen covered his face and didn't dare to look at the teasing looks from the people around him.

Sure enough, her nature was still the same one he was familiar with.

"I believe everyone has heard the charm of Chinese songs just now." The host also smiled and began his work, "Then let the beautiful Liu reveal who will win the Grammy Award for Best Pop Single tonight."

Liu Yifei clenched her fists nervously.

“I’m curious, could it be?”

The host looked in Zhang Chen's direction meaningfully.

Everyone's eyes followed the host and turned to Zhang Chen.

They knew that the biggest suspense of the night was about to be revealed!
Was it Zhang Chen’s English song or his Chinese song that won the award?

Or will there be someone else who can step on Zhang Chen and get to the top when Zhang Chen returns to the Grammy Awards?

"The winner of the Best Pop Single award is"

Liu Yifei closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening the envelope with her slightly trembling hands.
