So it was a fate that Jiang Yan and Kobe met again.
"Burou, I thought we would meet again in the finals, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Kobe Bryant, a tall man in a custom-made suit, grinned widely and fist bumped with Jiang Yan.
This is what Kobe Bryant has repeatedly warned, saying that if the Lakers make it to the finals this year, Jiang Yan must be present, otherwise the brothers will have nothing to do.
Jiang Yan naturally agreed, that's why Kobe said this.
"Corvo, I didn't expect you to be invited by Glyme, otherwise the next time we meet would be at the finals."
Jiang Yan really didn’t expect that Kobe would also come to the Grammys.
After getting to know it, I found out that this guy released a rap album in the second half of last year, and the quality was just that, and it was definitely not good enough for Grammy to formally invite him.
But who makes Kobe a member of Warner now? As a half-singer, the venue is at the Staples Center, and Kobe is half the owner of this place. In addition, he is also a good friend of Jiang Yan, so he was invited.
It's normal.
"No meat, you won the award today, are you confident?" Kobe asked again.
"I have answered this question several times in the past few days."
Jiang Yan shrugged and whispered to Kobe, "This is not basketball after all. It has nothing to do with whether you have confidence or not. The referee has the final say."
"So, I think you still have to come to the NBA." Kobe also shrugged and started marketing for the nth time.
Jiang Yan laughed but didn't reply.
The two were chatting and laughing, and soon the red carpet session began.
After the red carpet session, Jiang Yan had to prepare for the performance.
With Warner behind the scenes, this kind of opportunity can naturally be obtained.
For other singers, this kind of opportunity is very rare.
The Grammy performance is definitely not as good as the Super Bowl halftime and Victoria's Secret, but it has a lot of viewers. It is a good opportunity to gain recognition and enrich the singer's qualifications.
At least, if a popular singer in the United States has not performed live at the Grammys, his career is absolutely incomplete.
For Jiang Yan, appearing on the Grammy stage also set a new record in the Chinese music world and even the Asian music world.
In his impression, it seems that no Chinese singer has ever performed on the Grammy stage.
But in fact, for Jiang Yan, the biggest benefit of performing, besides refreshing history and improving his face, may be that he can take a break.
You must know that the entire Grammy awards ceremony is very long. This year's Grammy Awards has a total of 98 awards. It is really painful, so I went up to sing a song, plus the preparation time,
It's really the intermission.
Soon, it was Jiang Yan's turn to walk on the red carpet.
The red carpets at award ceremonies in the United States are either indoors or outdoors. Some have a large number of spectators watching. They are both red carpets and show the popularity of artists. Some are completely shows for reporters to take photos, mainly for the purpose of competing for beauty.
Because of the rain this year at Grammy, it was an indoor red carpet. All the attendees were journalists. It was arranged in a wide corridor, with a large number of reporters on one side and a background wall on the other.
The process is roughly as follows: the artist enters the venue, walks around the red carpet, is photographed by reporters, signs and takes pictures on the signature wall at the end, and then is interviewed.
Jiang Yan had no interest in red carpet shows, and he didn't have a female companion, so he walked smoothly. Warner originally wanted to arrange a female companion for him, but Jiang Yan had no interest in flirting with a strange woman. As for Kobe,
Come on, he doesn't want to be rumored about that, and besides, Kobe also has a girlfriend.
In fact, Jiang Yan originally wanted to take his wife or simply invite Liu Qianqian to go, but the conditions did not allow it. After all, he was a pioneer in China, and many things could not be messed up. After all, this weight was heavy, and others could not grasp it.
Once on the red carpet, he didn't bother taking photos, let alone waiting for the staff to come up and chase him away.
Jiang Yan arrived at the red carpet and walked all the way to the autograph wall under the cameras of reporters, signing autographs and smiling for photos. He had no intention of staying long, but the reporters were very interested in him.
"Joey, you have received 5 nominations this time. Do you think you have a chance to win?"
"I am personally confident, but whether I can win or not depends on the organizing committee and the judges."
Exports must have standard answers, Jiang Yan never contains lakes.
"Christina and you were also nominated for 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Song'. If she won the award, would you be angry?"
"Best Newcomer" is considered to be the most important award in the life of any pop singer, because you only have one chance to win it, and it is gone once you pass it. The gold content is huge.
So in previous years there would be a lot of gossip about the competition for this award.
The reporter asked about Christina. To be honest, she had never heard of Jiang Yan. However, this girl actually had three songs on the Billboard No. 1 in her album this year. Compared to Jiang Yan, who is always the second child, Christina has one advantage.
It's obvious by looking at it.
But in reality, compared to Jiang Yan's songs, her songs have very little stamina.
The highlight of an album is that three songs topped the Billboard charts for a week, and then were quickly dropped.
Almost all of Jiang Yan's songs have stayed on the charts for 20 weeks, among which "youarebeautifl" and "freeloop" are still dominating the European Billboard charts.
So in general, there are actually 6 people nominated for "Best Newcomer" this year. On the surface, the one with the strongest performance is Christina, but the one with the highest song popularity and sales is Jiang Yan, and she can be said to be the best.
So the reporter’s question is actually also a question for many fans.
And Jiang Yan also gave the standard answer:
"Of course not. I will applaud whoever wins. In addition, I believe in the fairness of the Billboard rankings, so no matter what the result is, I will accept it. And regardless of whether I don't win, I will continue to work hard next year..."
He kept saying good things without any explosive points, which made many old American media feel disappointed, but there was nothing they could do. After all, Jiang Yan could not be treated like one of those black singers. If possible, then it would be true.
Interesting.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After finishing the interview and arriving at the venue, Jiang Yan found that it was awkward not to hang out in the American music scene for a long time.
As a supernova, the seats are arranged relatively forward, and there is only one person sitting there. The group of relatives and friends is in the auditorium at the back. Everyone around them is unknown, and there is no one to chat with.
There are a few Chinese people coming this year, but Jiang Yan hasn't seen them yet. Maybe he hasn't entered the venue yet, or he's too far away from the ground, so he can only sit in his seat by himself, so he looks a little bit isolated.
Feel.
But it doesn't matter to him. In fact, he can also switch to Kobe's side, but Kobe has a girlfriend now, so why did he eat dog food in the past?
Also, if the front row is changed to the back row, I’m not sure what people outside will say.
In fact, there has been discussion outside now.
The camera panned to Jiang Yan, who was the only Chinese man sitting there, with no one chatting with him.
Many domestic viewers watching the live broadcast were thinking, Jiang Yan is so pitiful...
At the same time, there are many people giving advice there.
Jiang Yan needs to socialize.
Don't be too shy.
There are even some people who are weird, saying that Jiang Yan is doing well in Europe and the United States, but in fact he is not doing so well. Don't you think he doesn't even know anyone?
Anyway, good words are the easiest to say to your own family, so the public opinion suddenly became a little noisy.
Yang Shi's explanation was a little short of words at the moment, after all, Jiang Yan's scene just now was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Being isolated seems to be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. Fortunately, the camera quickly moved elsewhere.
So the narration quickly began to introduce the people in the camera.
"This is Mike Gray, who is also nominated for Best Newcomer this year... This is Christina, who is Jiang Yan's most powerful competitor this time... Oh, this is... Audiences, look who is here
!”
At this time, the camera was scanning one supernova after another, but the next second the camera turned, it turned to Jiang Yan.
In the picture, a white woman was communicating with a white man next to Jiang Yan. Then the white man soon left his seat, and the white woman sat down. Then she and Jiang Yan began to talk and laugh.
His posture seemed to look like he was very happy to see Jiang Yan.
Who is this?
very beautiful!
Could it be Jiang Yan's scandal?
The audience was immediately curious, but the fact that the camera was frozen here for a long time also showed that this woman was unusual, or that this matter was unusual.
Fortunately, Yangshi's commentary is indeed professional.
They quickly provided an explanation:
"This is Enya, a famous European diva..."
The commentator just started talking.
The audience in front of the TV opened their eyes unconsciously.
Queen!
Then, the commentator explained Enya's series of awards, such as winning the Grammy Award for Best New Age Album, Best New Artist and Singer in Europe, and selling tens of millions of albums.
Everything proves this woman's brilliance.
At the same time, many fans and fans also reacted.
The European diva took the initiative to chat with Jiang Yan and looked very happy.
