The Billboard Music Awards is a music award sponsored by the well-known American music magazine "Billboard". The annual awards ceremony has been held since 1989, and the entire ceremony is broadcast live on Fox TV. It is a famous commercial music award in the United States.
Different from the Grammy Awards and other awards that determine the winner through voting, the Billboard Music Awards uses Nielsen to provide U.S. sales, downloads, and playback data to generate the list, which is a list generated based on sales.
At present, offline sales and online on-demand are the main data channels. Due to the birth of p3, electronic network downloads have also been included in the list data rules in the past two years, but the approximate proportion is less than the total data.
5%.
Taylor's songs can be said to be coming from behind. "Fade" made her famous in one fell swoop, and "Tik-tk" made her rank No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart for nine consecutive weeks. Her popularity is close to that of A-list superstars, and "Taylor Swift"
"The hot sales of the songs in this album have also made her frequently appear on the music charts in more than ten countries in Europe and the United States. She also became the sales champion of the album chart on the Billboard chart, completely establishing the music industry.
The status of Queen of Heaven.
Although he cannot be compared with the kings and queens of the older generation, among the new generation, Taylor is the well-deserved king of popularity.
In the past month, the variety shows she has participated in, whether they are talk shows or live interviews, have reached the first place in the ratings for their time period, which is eye-catching.
At the same time, with Taylor's rapid rise to fame, the name Li Qing also attracted the attention of most fans amid frequent media reports.
Recently, the news that Li Qing, the author of "Harry Potter" will join hands with Taylor to participate in the US Billboard Music Awards, has also been very noisy, attracting attention in the European and American music and literary circles.
The 2nd Billboard Music Awards was held at the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel is one of the largest hotels in the casino city of Las Vegas, covering a total area of nearly 400,000 square meters.
The hotel has a luxury casino with an area of 15,000 square meters, five outdoor swimming pools with an area of 2.7 hectares, rivers and man-made waterfalls, and a conference center with an area of 330,000 square meters. MGM
Garden gymnasium and super large spa.
This year's Billboard Music Awards will be held at the Garden Arena in the MGM Hotel.
This is a stadium that can accommodate more than 80,000 people. It is almost a must-stop for world-class singers when they hold concert tours.
As guest performers, Li Qing and Taylor came to the MGM Garden Arena early for rehearsal. Receiving Li Qing and others were Alan Lewis, deputy editor of Billboard magazine, and the president who hosted the awards ceremony.
Director, Robin McCarthy.
Although Robin is a director, he is not a person who likes to read.
When receiving Taylor, he was enthusiastic, but he was not as enthusiastic as expected towards Li Qing. Hearing that he was one of the performers at this year's Billboard Awards, he just smiled and said a few perfunctory words, and said to Taylor: "Taylor
, if you need a director for your concert, feel free to contact me, the price is absolutely cheap!”
Taylor laughed loudly, "Of course, dear Robin, I will remember what you said, don't ignore me then."
Robin shrugged: "If Miss Taylor summons me, even if there are many difficulties, I will rush to your side as soon as possible. This is the most basic etiquette of a gentleman."
On the other hand, deputy editor-in-chief Allen was very fond of Li Qing. When watching the rehearsal of the song "Regaining Old Love" sung by Li Qing and Taylor, he nodded frequently. When the rehearsal was completed, he walked with tall legs.
Legs, smiled and came to Li Qing: "Hi, Leesin, are you interested in being interviewed by "Billboard"? In our editorial department, you are definitely our focus!"
Ellen is a blond woman in her early thirties. Her appearance, even in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, is considered to be an upper-middle-class beauty. She is also a veritable gold-collar worker, so she naturally attracts much attention.
The moment Allen asked Li Qing, many men around him couldn't help but glance over. People didn't seem to care about Li Qing, a yellow man, and they all looked at Allen, the deputy editor-in-chief.
Women who are powerful, rich and beautiful are the most popular, especially single women. Ellen almost fulfilled all these conditions!
But Li Qing seemed a little confused: "Why are you interviewing me?"
Allen smiled and said: "Although you are a writer, you are a legend in the editorial department of our "Billboard" magazine. All Taylor's songs are written by you. This alone can already make "Billboard"
Brand" has opened a separate interview page for you. We all work behind the scenes and understand the truth of this very well. It can be said that without you, there would be no Taylor today. Am I right?"
Li Qing smiled: "That's an exaggeration. Taylor is a shining pearl. I just helped her brush off the dust on it."
Allen blinked his brown eyes and said, "Do you know what Americans hate most about Orientals?"
Without waiting for Li Qing to answer, Allen said directly: "It is your so-called virtue of humility. Humility is a very bad word. It will hide some facts at certain times and eventually make people lose some of the most important judgments.
"
Li Qing finally agreed to the interview proposed by Allen, but did not set a time immediately.
During the rehearsal process, top singers and bands from all over Europe and the United States appeared on the stage one by one. Although there was an empty auditorium in front of them, and there were no more than a hundred people watching their rehearsal, the superstars still acted with the most serious attitude.
Attitude to rehearse your own performance.
In fact, the rehearsal of the performance is not the most important. Everyone is an experienced master, and the probability of making mistakes during the performance is very small. The reason why the singers arrive on time is just to familiarize themselves with the scenes arranged by the director and practice their moves.
Taylor's appearance ignited the enthusiasm of many staff and singers at the scene. Although Li Qing was also noticed, he was overshadowed by Taylor's halo.
Seeing Taylor being surrounded by everyone, Li Qing smiled happily.
Although there are similarities between the music world and the literary world, there is generally not much overlap. Even if people are familiar with "Harry Potter" and know Leesin's name, if no one points it out, Li Qing, an Asian
People, in the eyes of a group of Europeans and Americans, are relatively easy to be ignored.
If it hadn't been for a brief rehearsal with Taylor, Allen might not have come forward to chat with Li Qing and have an interview.
After all, although Li Qing is famous, his appearance is too unrecognizable and does not match his fame.
Li Qing didn't care about this.
He seemed to be enjoying his current situation more. Looking at Taylor who was surrounded by people questioning him, Li Qing seemed to see himself in China, and there was a sudden feeling of relief in his chest.
So...enjoy the moment!
Maybe it won't be long before everything will change... ——
