Chapter 0438 Legendary Award
"...Ms. He Xiaolan's departure is a loss to the Chinese music scene and a loss to the world music industry. After the jury voted, Ms. He Xiaolan was awarded the Universal Gramophone Legend Award and was selected into the Universal Gramophone Hall of Fame."
"Although Ms. He Xiaolan is no longer here, we are honored to invite her son. Now, we invite Mr. Han Lan to come on stage to receive the Universal Gramophone Legend Award trophy on behalf of Ms. He Xiaolan."
Following the words of the award presenter, the cameras at the scene turned to Han Lan again.
Han Lan also realized how his invitation letter came. He originally thought it was because of Xia Ningxuan, but now it seems that it is not.
The Legend Award and the Hall of Fame are both special awards of the Universal Gramophone Music Awards. They are not awarded every year. They are awarded to musicians who they believe have made outstanding contributions to the music industry and have great influence.
"Han Lan, hurry up and receive the award." Xia Ningxuan saw that he was in a daze and quickly reminded him.
The applause also rang out at the scene. Han Lan took a deep breath and walked up to the podium with a smile.
"Your mother is very good, I hope you can be like her." The award guest was an old musician. After awarding the trophy to Han Lan, she also smiled and hugged him.
"I will." Han Lan smiled.
The presenter patted his arm, smiled and walked off the stage, leaving the stage to him.
Although she is only accepting the award on her behalf, Han Lan also has to give an acceptance speech. Foreigners seem to like this part very much, and basically every time they give an award speech, they have to thank their company, family, and friends.
The host was originally worried that he would not be able to speak out so suddenly, and was about to help him find something to talk about. In the end, he watched Han Lan talk to the audience about the past of his mother He Xiaolan with a pure British accent.
One that makes people cry.
Following his words, He Xiaolan's image became more and more plump in the hearts of the audience.
In the past, the impression He Xiaolan left on them was basically that of a very talented and elegant oriental female singer.
And now, she is a tolerant, kind, kind and loving mother.
In fact, Han Lan didn't remember what He Xiaolan was like at all, but Hua Guo's mothers actually all had a unified template, and I guess He Xiaolan was similar.
No matter what, the audience believed it anyway, everyone showed admiration, and even some were moved.
"Sir, can I sing a song here for my mother?"
As Han Lan was talking, he suddenly asked the host next to him.
The host was stunned for a moment, but soon received the director's instructions in the headset, and naturally smiled and nodded.
Now that the emotions of the audience have been aroused by him, it is understandable for a son to sing a song in memory of his mother. Foreigners still care about their families. If the organizer rejects Han Lan's request, it would be a bit too ruthless.
Han Lan temporarily handed the trophy to the host for help, then took the guitar he handed over, briefly tried the sound check, faced a group of foreigners in the audience, and smiled confidently: ""Listen to Mom"
"This is a song I released last year. Some of you here may not have heard it. I hope you like it."
The audience naturally applauded.
Han Lan smiled and said, "I've come here, I can't just accept the award and leave."
He naturally guessed what the Universal Gramophone Music Awards were trying to do by awarding the Legend Award to He Xiaolan. Awarding the Legend Award to He Xiaolan was actually similar to the ancient emperors honoring deceased heroes. They were both good ways to win people's hearts.
The outside world has been complaining that Universal Gramophone is unfair to Chinese singers, and no Chinese singer has ever won an award.
Then let’s give him a grand award now, the Legend Award and being admitted into the Hall of Fame. This is much more important than the Best Male and Female Singer of the Year and the Best Song of the Year!
Moreover, He Xiaolan is dead, and the role of the dead and the living cannot be compared. He Xiaolan winning the Legend Award will not be of much help to the Chinese music scene. After all, she can no longer represent the Chinese music scene on tours to attract fans.
.
The "Universal Gramophone" Music Awards has always been flaunted as art, but in the final analysis it is still for business services. At most, it is just to find a balance between business and art.
A singer who wins a music award will see a significant increase in fame and popularity, followed by an increase in album sales and net worth.
In order to ensure that their own artists can win awards, a large proportion of music award judges come from major record companies and entertainment companies. The so-called fairness is actually fairness between several major companies.
And do these companies want the Chinese music scene to get better? Of course not!
The worse, the better!
In this way, their singers will be even more outstanding in China!
But since they gave Han Lan a chance, Han Lan would definitely not let it go.
Originally they just came here to accompany Xia Ningxuan, but since they wanted to make a fuss about Han Lan's cheap mother, how could Han Lan let them get rid of it with a trophy?
If you don't use a lot of traffic, it would be a shame for him to have the title of the most popular little guy in China!
"Kid, do you have many questions?
Why, others are reading comics there
But I am learning to draw and talking to the piano
…”
Familiar songs were sung in the live broadcast room. A group of fans in the domestic live broadcast room were too lazy to quarrel with the navy anymore. They neatly raised their cheering stick expressions and called for Han Lan's support from a distance.
Most of the foreign audiences at the scene could not understand Chinese, but they couldn't help but shake their heads slightly to the rhythm of his music.
Han Lan glanced at the audience's reaction, and after finishing the first chorus, she suddenly sang the English version impromptu.
His foreign languages have always been very good, and coupled with the continuous recovery of his music level over the past year or so, it is not difficult for him to improvise foreign language versions.
But the audience immediately felt it.
Originally, the melody of this song was not bad, but now that they understand the lyrics, they naturally feel something about it, and the whole song seems to have suddenly sublimated. Now let them go back and listen to the original Chinese version, and they will still feel very good.
Moreover, Han Lan currently only releases Chinese versions on foreign music platforms.
In other words, if they want to listen to this song after tonight, they can only listen to the Chinese version.
After "The Fox" became a hit last time, he actually tried to use the popularity of this song to promote his other songs, but the effect was not ideal. Although foreigners clicked into his personal page because of "The Fox",
But at first glance, they are all Chinese songs. Even if there is a translation, many people do not choose to play them.
Foreigners and Chinese people are different in this regard. Many Chinese people may be interested in listening to English songs when they see them. Even if they don’t understand, it doesn’t matter. There are even people who only listen to English songs for the so-called fashion.
And it has to be played out so that people around can hear it.
But under normal circumstances, foreigners will not choose foreign language songs that they do not understand. It is one thing that the lyrics are not understood, and the other is that the music style and level are not appreciated by others.
Just like most Chinese people don't like Third Brother's songs, and occasionally they listen to them as jokes.
