"It's unbelievable that he is an Asian. There is such a pure London style in the story..."
"Hmm, I just found out that there is an Asian guy. What is his relationship with Taylor? Are they dating?"
"Ha! It's just the same company."
Discussions from all directions brought the stressed Li Qing back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Taylor, who had stepped off the podium and was holding the trophy with a happy face. He opened his mouth and finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
Go down.
Li Qing smiled and said, "Congratulations."
"Here!" Taylor handed the trophy to Li Qing, like a daughter asking for credit: "I just said that we won this award together. Although I know you have won countless awards, you have definitely never won this one.
.”
Li Qing shrugged and said with a smile: "Don't be too excited. After all, you are also the new king of the European and American music circles this year. Take care of your own image. Moreover, according to the current trend, I think you will have to go on stage to receive the award later.
"
When Taylor heard this, he took a breath and calmed down, then said with a smile: "I'm just enjoying the moment!"
At this time, a staff member came over and signaled Taylor to wait a moment before getting ready to perform on stage.
The song "Reviving Old Love" rehearsed by Taylor and Li Qing will be performed after the Best Rap Artist Award. The two immediately stood up and followed the staff to the backstage to prepare.
Awards venues in Europe and the United States are not as spacious as those in China. Except for the necessary corridors, the entire stadium is designed from top to bottom, just like the seating pattern of a movie theater. There are people moving around everywhere, and because European and American men and women are all tall and powerful.
, therefore, looking around, the distance between the auditoriums is almost negligible, and the atmosphere between people is full of enthusiasm.
When Li Qing and Taylor stood up, everyone in the audience noticed this scene.
Some of Taylor's fans were screaming and cheering crazily. According to the previous practice of performing guests leaving, they knew that Taylor was about to perform on stage.
It was not Taylor's first time to perform live, but it was his first time on a stage with 80,000 spectators. He was still a little nervous. Unlike the excitement when receiving an award, performing was quite stressful.
Li Qing, on the other hand, was there as an old god. When he saw Taylor's nervous look, he softly comforted him with a few words.
Almost everyone at the scene had heard Taylor's songs, and many people were looking forward to it when they saw it.
Soon, the best rap artist award was won by an Italian rapper.
After the host Martin said his congratulations, he snapped his fingers in front of the crowd and said excitedly to the camera in front of him: "I can already feel the fiery eyes of the audience, yes, and my heart is also
Full of enthusiasm, the next guest performer is Taylor Swift, who just won the Best New Artist Award. She will sing a new song "Regaining Old Love" with the Eastern superstar from a distant country. Pay attention, this
Eastern superstar, his name is leesin!"
As soon as Martin finished speaking, the lights on the stage dimmed instantly.
The noisy atmosphere of the entire stadium was also momentarily silent, with only the hum of people talking and screams from all directions.
A few seconds later, a beam of spotlight came down from the stage and illuminated a piano.
In front of the piano, Li Qing was sitting there, wearing silver-white glasses and a simple black shirt. He was playing with the microphone on the piano stand. As he swung it, he said: "Return to the road of love, for the first time."
Next to the piano, Taylor was wearing a simple OL suit, a white shirt, a black jacket, and a high ponytail, making her look like a college student who had not yet graduated, full of youth.
At this time, she held the microphone with both hands, took a deep breath, and said, "Oh, God, I'm so nervous!"
Li Qing shrugged, "You're fine. You just need to use your natural and beautiful singing voice. I've listened to it countless times in the past three days."
Taylor hummed, then pinched his throat and said, "I feel like my throat is blocked, as if I have an allergy."
Li Qing laughed: "It's funny, this is just a three-minute song, come on."
This smooth scene performance instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
From the pretense of the dialogue, it can be seen that this is a dialogue between a teacher and a student, so the next piece of music the two collaborate on should be the piece to be performed.
After Taylor finished speaking, Li Qing's hands began to touch the keyboard and began to play beautifully and melodiously.
And Taylor also started to speak, singing softly: "i've-been-living-ith-a-shado-overhead
i've-been-sleeping-ith-a-loud”
The piano stopped and Li Qing said: "Wait a minute, the sound can be louder... because this song is just for people to listen to, right? Then, return to the road of love, the second time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taylor's voice suddenly rose.
Her cool and ethereal voice, like the sound of nature, instantly sounded throughout the stadium:
"i've-been-living-ith-a-shado-overhead
i've-been-sleeping-ith-a-loud-above-my-bed
i've-been-lonely-for-so-long…”
The scene was completely silent.
Only Taylor's beautiful singing voice echoed in the hall. The eyes of more than 80,000 people were looking at Taylor who was singing and Li Qing who was sitting there playing. There seemed to be a strange feeling flowing in the air.
"This is a love song. It obviously doesn't mention love, but why do I feel love?"
"Are they in love?"
"Oh my god, they are still looking at each other. Is this singing or showing affection? I'm so angry!"
"Tyler, my Taylor, so beautiful!"
"Alas, the whole world is filled with the rancid smell of love!"
"I really want to get married after hearing this!"
Just when people were sighing that Taylor's singing voice was so beautiful, Li Qing also sang amidst the flowing piano:
“i’ve-been-hi-all-my-hopes-and-dreams-aay…”
The so-called expert will know if there is anything as soon as he takes action.
When Li Qing's singing voice spread through the microphone, the audience from all directions suddenly burst into excited screams.
Even the singers sitting in the guest seats sat up straight and looked surprised.
“Sounds great!”
"What a magnetic voice!"
"Is this Asian? This accent doesn't make you feel foreign at all. Did you grow up in the United States?"
"My God, such a charming voice, deep and full, as if telling a story that I will never tire of hearing!"
"He is really a superstar, I believe it!"
"The father of Harry Potter, instead of writing books, he came to sing!"
"This is probably the best writer who can sing!"
"No, he should be the singer who is best at writing books!"
"What's the name of this song? Is it really original? Oh my god, I'm probably in love!"
The duet between Taylor and Li Qing caused a commotion at the scene.
The eyes of countless people were bright. At this moment, everyone remembered the man and woman who were singing duet at this moment.
Cameras from all directions were clearly recording this scene.
At this time, on the big screen on the stage, a couple sitting in the audience appeared in front of everyone.
During the singing, the man and woman suddenly saw themselves appearing on the big screen. After being a little stunned, they both became excited and laughed.
Cheers erupted all around.
The couple did not hesitate at all. While singing and captured by the camera, they got close to each other and had a deep French kiss without any gaps.
In an instant, cheers came and went!
The enthusiasm at the scene was completely ignited.
When "Regaining Old Love" was practiced for the third time, because of its simple and beautiful melody, many people present began to hum along with Li Qing and Taylor's singing...
After one song, the whole stadium burst into applause.
"Recovering Old Love" is not a top love song, but it is obviously very suitable as a performance number at the Billboard Music Awards.
In particular, Li Qing and Taylor performed a wonderful scene performance in this song, which virtually increased the sense of immersion and added a lot of color to the song.
Taylor's heavenly voice once again conquered the audience.
And Li Qing's full and magnetic singing voice also surprised many people.
The emotion in the song seems to be filled with countless love, making people feel the taste of love.
There is no doubt that the combination of Li Qing and Taylor made everyone at the scene shine.
And Li Qing, the only Asian guest in the audience, was also focused on by the cameras in the hands of the media.
After taking their seats again, many singers greeted Li Qing frequently and enthusiastically, which was completely different from the previous treatment.
The Billboard Music Awards are the most business-oriented awards in the United States. Unlike the Grammy judges' selections, this is a list determined by list accumulation, radio listening volume and album sales. Therefore, almost all awards do not have too many awards.
In suspense, the major awards will soon be settled.
After Taylor won her first award, she never left the attention of the audience and the media.
After winning the Best New Artist Award, he also won the Best Billboard 1 Artist Award, Best Hot 1 Song Award, Best Billboard 2 Album Award, Hot 1 Song Award, Best Selling Song Award, and Best Radio Song Award.
Best Radio Song Artist Award, Best Country Song Award.
Won a total of 9 awards.
Unfortunately, Taylor missed many awards such as the Best Female Artist Award and the Best Entertainer Award.
After all, Taylor is a newcomer and has accumulated too little. If he wants to win a real grand prize, he still has a long way to go.
Coupled with the fact that her album came from behind, it is obviously impossible for her to hit the Billboard charts this year.
Singers from more than ten countries in Europe and the United States are not vegetarians. Talents also need to be cultivated.
Of course, if the current trend continues, Taylor will be even more dazzling next year.
But even so, Taylor became the person who won the most Billboard Awards that night.
The next day, the entire United States and even Europe and the United States were covering the Billboard Awards ceremony.
Taylor has become the most shining star, establishing her status as a first-line singer in Europe and the United States.
Along with Taylor's reports, Li Qing's appearance and name gradually came to the attention of fans from various countries.
"Regaining Old Love" also became the most requested male-female chorus song in the United States after that night.
After all, this is a new song. Unlike other popular songs on the list, everyone is listening to it freshly. Coupled with the content of the song, it immediately became the focus of countless fans.
As a result, the number of on-demand plays of this song began to rise on major karaoke radio stations. The most direct effect was that Taylor's new album continued to sell well, and the contract company BGM Entertainment attracted the attention of the industry.
top notch.
Of course, it's not just Taylor.
After Li Qing participated in the Billboard Awards ceremony, due to his outstanding performance, he became the focus of discussion in the entertainment media in Europe and the United States. Compared with his status as a world-class writer, Li Qing's status as a singer is like being ignored.
The pearls peeled away the surface sand, revealing the crystal clear and dazzling light.
After that, several albums released by Li Qing in China actually appeared in major audio and video stores in Europe and the United States. Although sales were mediocre, they were also highly praised by many Western fans.
At least, in terms of melody, some of the songs in Li Qing's album are definitely top-notch.
This also attracted the attention of many record companies in Europe and the United States. During this period, the number of copyright dealers who came to BGM Company suddenly increased. Many people wanted to purchase the cover rights of songs in Li Qing's album through BGM Company.
After Li Qing learned about this, he was very generous and let everyone choose. As long as the price was right, everything was no problem.
In just half a month, the cover rights of more than ten songs in Li Qing's three albums were sold, with the amount reaching millions of dollars.
Those who come to buy the copyright are all record companies that have carefully studied Li Qing's songs, including many top record companies, such as Sony Records.
In Asia, Li Qing's popularity is beyond the imagination of many European and American record companies. But once you understand it, you will know how precious Li Qing's market-tested songs are.
Just like the Danish band "Mike Learns Rock" purchased the copyright to "Kiss Goodbye", this song alone made "Mike Learns Rock" a hit in the European and American music circles, and its popularity continued to rise.
"Leesin, are you interested in releasing a solo album?"
On this day, after signing the English cover copyright of "Just Met You", the director of Sony's Los Angeles branch raised this question.
Li Qing was a little stunned.
The director continued: "With your current popularity, publishing films in Europe and the United States may be risky, but your strength can withstand some of these risks. Of course, if possible, we at Sony are very willing to take on these risks for you."
.”
Sony's idea is very simple, invest in Li Qingfa's films and make money together.
If we lose money, it is ours and we will bear all the risks.
But Li Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have this idea yet. You know, the achievements of Chinese singers in the European and American music circles..."
Director Sony smiled.
In fact, not only Chinese singers, but also no singers in Asia can carve out a place for themselves in Europe and the United States. Korean record companies often report in their own country to brag about how much market they have won in the United States, but in fact, in the eyes of top European and American record companies,
, these Asians are just out to grab some leftovers and are not worth mentioning at all.
