Regarding the Grammy Awards, Jiang Yuan has been nominated for five awards in total. In terms of the number of nominations, it is not the most among all singers.
The reason why it attracted attention was not only the public opinion on the topic on the Internet, but also because Jiang Yuan was shortlisted for five awards, from the singer category to the creative category, which were the major awards of the night.
This combination of awards also immediately increased the gold content of Jiang Yuan's nomination.
As for being able to compete with Jiang Yuan at tonight's award ceremony, even Luo Aier is not an easy candidate.
Although it is still not considered to be the best in the entire industry, Roel's album last year still received certain praise.
In addition to the rap awards, he has also been nominated for awards such as Best Album and Best Singer.
Obviously this is also the main reason for Loire's expansion.
On the stage, after the nominees were reviewed on the big screen, the award presenters opened the envelopes in their hands immediately.
"Congratulations Roel..."
In the end, this award was awarded to Loire, which was relatively consistent with the predictions given by some music critics.
After all, last year was considered a small year for rap works, and Luo Er's chances of winning were not small.
After it was confirmed that he had received this award, Luo Ai immediately jumped up from his seat and began to celebrate with the singers around him.
Jiang Yuan watched this scene without any reaction. He just clapped politely along with Paul and others around him.
Then he watched Roel jump up to the stage and begin to deliver his acceptance speech.
As a rapper, Loire's acceptance speech was somewhat flamboyant.
This was also fully reflected in the other party’s acceptance speech.
Although he had already suffered from a wave of online public opinion, after winning the award and being recognized, Loel began to feel that he could do it again.
Although he did not take the initiative to cue Jiang Yuan again, he did not hide his desire for subsequent awards after already winning a trophy.
He even put down his bold words and explained that he had left part of his acceptance speech and planned to deliver it when he was on the podium again.
The singers in the audience were obviously not surprised by such arrogant remarks.
After all, there are always quite a few such arrogant singers at every award ceremony. The audience just smiled and didn't take it to heart. They were still very tolerant.
After Roel won his first trophy, he returned to his seat from the podium with satisfaction.
What Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that on the way back to his seat, the other party even looked at him provocatively and showed off the trophy in his hand.
When Jiang Yuan saw this, he looked at Paul, feeling somewhat funny about this situation.
However, since the awards that Jiang Yuan has been shortlisted for have not officially started to be awarded yet, it would really not look good if there was nothing to gain all night long.
"Don't worry too much." Paul said as he and Jiang Yuan drank a glass of sparkling water.
"No." Jiang Yuan shook his head. So far, he has not missed any awards, so his mentality remains very stable.
After Loel received the award, the performance began on stage.
A female vocalist with a big vocal style performed a song that needed a lot of singing skills, and she also looked particularly dazzling at the music awards ceremony.
It immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience, and even the audience watching the live broadcast were full of praise for this performance on the message board.
It can be said to be an excellent stage for performances at the ceremony that night.
"Which song are you going to sing tonight? I didn't hear your rehearsal yesterday." During the applause, Paul suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuan also performed that night, so he asked curiously.
"Well... we'll keep it a secret for the time being." Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled without saying a word.
Noticing Jiang Yuan's reaction, Paul thought about it and felt that it seemed unusual.
After all, Jiang Yuan's album has been released, so even if it's a performance, he should just select the tracks directly from it.
However, based on Jiang Yuan's reaction and intuition, Paul began to feel that this performance might not be too simple.
"You didn't make up a new performance specifically for this award ceremony, did you?" Paul guessed after briefly recalling the scene of his band's performance at the award ceremony in the first year.
After hearing Paul's guess, Jiang Yuan thought about it for a while, then nodded, "It's pretty much the same."
"I have indeed made special preparations for the award ceremony."
Paul nodded when he heard this, "This is normal. That was when we first boarded..."
As they talked, Paul and others also began to reminisce with Jiang Yuan about the past years.
Accompanied by the chatter of Paul and others, on the awards stage, popular or unpopular awards were being announced one after another.
The first half of the Grammy Awards ceremony left such an impression on Jiang Yuan.
The time is composed of Paul's chattering, the award-winning speeches of the presenters on stage, and the award-winning singer's award-winning speeches.
The picture looked really star-studded, which was incomparable to some award ceremonies that Jiang Yuan had attended in the past.
At the same time, everyone in the venue was paying close attention to the ownership of each award.
The live broadcast was carried out simultaneously, and the on-site award results soon began to spread around the world through the Internet.
When the new awards were announced and the winners emerged, the previous nominations had turned into bubbles.
It is destined not to leave much of a deep impression on people. After a while, the nomination list will be forgotten, and everyone will only remember who the final winner of each award is.
Even if a work is considered by the public to be a legacy, when it is mentioned in the future, it will mostly serve as a background to highlight the award-winning singer or the gold content of the work.
It is enough to see that competition in the music industry is also very cruel, and only the winners can enjoy the spotlight.
The live broadcast of the awards ceremony was ongoing, and less than half the time gradually passed.
After witnessing the presentation of many awards, enjoying many performances, chatting with Paul several times, and even reminiscing about the past.
Tonight's first award related to Jiang Yuan's nomination is also getting closer bit by bit.
Grammy Award for Best New Artist of the Year.
Although from a domestic perspective, Jiang Yuan can be considered a singer who has been debuting for many years.
However, in Europe and the United States, Jiang Yuan is only a new singer who released his first English album last year, so he is naturally qualified to be shortlisted for this award.
Among the prediction results of music critics, this Newcomer Award is also the award that all music critics agree that Jiang Yuan is most likely to win.
Different from awards such as Album of the Year and Singer of the Year, which are considered kings and queens, the competition for the Newcomer Award is always smaller.
Even considering the quality of Jiang Yuan's albums and his achievements on the music charts, among the candidates, he can even be described as standing out from the crowd.
Previously, some comments on the Internet that Jiang Yuan could not be crowned the King of Songs used some rhetoric, and even used the description that he would win the Newcomer Award at most.
It can be seen that it has some meaning of being popular.
Before the Best Newcomer Award began to be awarded, many Jiang Yuan's fans also stayed in front of the live broadcast, waiting excitedly and nervously for the award.
I wanted to witness the moment when Jiang Yuan won the award, but I was also worried that Jiang Yuan would regret missing out on the award.
Even with the time difference, the Yuan Universe app is a lively scene.
Many fans were a little afraid to watch the live broadcast, and were waiting in the Yuan Universe for text reports from other fans.
It’s similar to watching a game and not knowing the outcome.
It is also true that some fans are broadcasting the awards ceremony live in real-time via text.
[The next award is the Best Newcomer Award, the first nomination tonight! It is also the award most likely to win. 】
[Before the awards ceremony started, there was a performance by a band. After the performance, the awards ceremony was about to begin (exciting)! 】
Watching the real-time text broadcast, fans became nervous one by one.
【So nervous!】
[Everyone, please be normal, I took a screenshot of the waiting scene [picture]]
[Is the order of performance just after this award? 】
[It seems that I hope to perform directly after winning the award. 】
[Oh my god, I’ve never been so nervous about buying tickets before.]
——
The award results of the Best Newcomer of the Year Award have always concerned the fans.
It’s not like fans have never seen the award ceremony before, but this is indeed the first time for fans to participate in an award ceremony of this level. At the same time, they still have a sense of pride that they can only rely on Jiang Yuan to succeed alone.
In addition, the whole day's online public opinion has somewhat disturbed the mentality. Everyone wants to see Jiang Yuan win such an award to relax their emotions.
At the award ceremony, as the performance on stage gradually came to an end, Jiang Yuan's mood began to fluctuate and he became a little nervous.
In addition to the results of the Newcomer Award, I am also worried that if I miss out on the award with the highest probability of winning tonight, there is a high probability that I will miss out on other trophies in the future.
Paul, Shang Yaner and others beside him also noticed the change in Jiang Yuan's expression, but there were no good words to comfort him at this time.
In response, Shang Yan'er just stretched out her hand and shook Jiang Yuan's palm under the seat to express her support.
Jiang Yuan looked down, and then looked at each other with Shang Yan'er, feeling much calmer.
After the performance on stage was over, it was time for the highly anticipated award, the Best Newcomer of the Year, to be officially announced.
The first is the appearance of the award presenter. The presenter is not a well-known singer, but a well-known actor.
The first time the other party appeared on the stage, Jiang Yuan also recognized him.
Although I don’t know the specific name, in some of the film and television works Jiang Yuan has watched, this face always appears in different shapes.
He is an actor whose face and eyes are familiar to him.
During the introduction of the award-winning guest, Jiang Yuan finally learned the other person’s name, Charles Turan.
According to Paul on the side, he further introduced that he was an actor who had won the Best Actor Award, which shows that the importance of the Best Newcomer Award is still very high.
"There are singers who have been successfully shortlisted for this year's Best Newcomer Award. Please watch the big screen." Turan said after standing on stage in a straight suit.
Then, the works of the nominated candidates began to be played on the big screen.
The first one to appear on the big screen was the MV for "Sugar". So far, this is still the most played MV among Jiang Yuan's first album.
When the MV was playing, the split-screen shot on the other side showed Jiang Yuan.
After noticing the camera, Jiang Yuan smiled and said hello, subconsciously managing his expression.
At this time, everyone's attention was also focused on Jiang Yuan, speculating on the possibility of winning the award, which shows that the attention is indeed very high.
After the "Sugar" MV clips were played, the works of several other candidates also began to be played on the big screen one after another.
There are four newcomers who were shortlisted at the same time as Jiang Yuan.
Of the two men and two women, only one is in a similar situation to Jiang Yuan, releasing an English album for the first time in many years since his debut.
The other three candidates are all relatively young singer-songwriters with good creative talents. They are backed by large companies and achieved good results with their first album.
After the MV ended, close-ups of Jiang Yuan and the other five candidates appeared on the big screen.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stage, or rather on the award guest on the stage, Charles Tulan.
"Okay, after taking a quick look, the five of them are actually very good musicians."
"The first English album I produced has achieved great success in the music world. I often listen to your music in my free time," Turan said with a smile.
However, it still failed to alleviate some of the nervousness.
No one can completely ignore the newcomer award that comes only once in a lifetime.
"So, let us now reveal the answer in the envelope." Turan said and began to open the envelope in his hand.
The name of the final winner is written on the stationery inside the envelope.
"The singer who won this year's Best Newcomer Award is..."
After opening the envelope, Turan read the name on the letter without any pause and announced the final winner.
"Jiang Yuan, "The Ordinary Life", congratulations!"
Turan's dialogue skills are excellent, and his voice is very loud when announcing.
The audience paused for a moment, and then began to applaud.
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he confirmed the result, and a smile broke out on his face.
Paul also smiled and applauded Jiang Yuan, his face full of relief.
After Jiang Yuan reacted, he straightened his clothes and stood up slowly.
Then he turned to look at Shang Yan'er and wanted to celebrate. Unexpectedly, Shang Yan'er was also very excited at this moment. She jumped up from her seat and hugged Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan also hugged each other heavily for a while before letting go, and began to shout congratulations from the surroundings, and walked towards the award podium with firm steps.
At the same time, there was also a scene of joy and excitement in Yuan Universe.
