After Liu Lang finished explaining the matter, "James" got out of the car, got into his pickup truck and drove away.
"Liu Lang, who is the Du Han you are talking about? Is he related to him?"
Sun Hu kept listening beside him without saying a word. He also knew that the other party must have a deep background, but he couldn't understand the businessman's attitude. But he understood a little bit of the conversation between the two just now.
It seems that the identity of the other party is also unusual, especially the man named Du Han, who seems to be a revolutionary senior, and I can't help but be very curious.
"Mr. Du was an early agent of our country and made great contributions to the country. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was falsely accused and imprisoned. He stayed in prison for more than ten years. He never saw his relatives until his death. Five years ago
The country rehabilitated him, but to this day not many people know of his existence.
Now this "James" is doing the same thing, he is a person worthy of respect!"
"So that's how it is... I know that era. It was an era full of terror. Countless revolutionary martyrs shed their lives and blood, and went on to fight without fear of sacrifice. Without them, there would be no good life now. Mr. Du is one of them.
Member, we should salute him. When I return to the capital, I will definitely go to his tombstone to pay homage. I will also take my son with me to let him know how hard-won the good life is now! He has grown up
I have to learn from them in the future!”
Sun Hu was full of respect for the revolutionary martyrs.
"Yes! What the young people in the future will lack is this firm belief...Faith! When people have strong faith, they will be invincible. It's a pity that they don't have it...!"
At this moment, Liu Lang thought of the young people more than 20 years later. They were full of energy, but lacked faith. They only indulged in worthless entertainment programs every day. Stars, singers, and movie stars were the focus of their attention. That era
It is truly the best of times and the worst of times...!
One day later, Liu Lang transferred the money to the account the other party gave him. Three million US dollars for ten machine tools was a sky-high price, but for the country, it was priceless. I hope "James" can handle them.
Bar………!
On December 20, 1987, five days before Christmas in the West, the Grammy Awards were held at Madison Square Garden in New York. Liu Lang, Ye Jinsheng, Lin Guodong, and Lucas were invited to attend as guests.
.
Originally, Shengtang Company had two songs that participated in this year's Grammy selection, namely "Something Just Like This" and "Only Time", but Adese's "Baby Oime" turned out, and it only took less than two months.
The sales volume reached more than 8 million copies in one time, and teenagers across the country were obsessed with it. Adès has also become the idol of the younger generation. She has already had the shadow of a new generation of divas, and her influence is almost comparable to that of Madonna.
You must know that Madonna is already thirty years old this year. She debuted almost ten years ago. Five years ago, she finally showed her great strength. In five years, she gradually gained recognition from Hollywood. Although she cannot compare with Michael Jackson, she is still among the female artists.
She has already vaguely become a leader-level figure, but in just two months, Adès has gained a reputation that is no less than hers. Even among the group of 18- and 19-year-olds, Adès has a greater influence.
Some.
A song has led American pop culture. The Grammy jury made an exception and included this song in this year's selection. In other words, this year, three songs from Shengtang Company were selected together.
All three songs are competing for the Single of the Year Award. This award is almost uncontroversial, and Adès basically won it.
In addition, "Baby Oime" also has five other nominations for Best Dance Song, Best Pop Music, Best Newcomer, Best Stage Design, and Best Original Song, for a total of six nominations.
Unlike those awards such as Best Instrumental and Best Rock and Roll, these six are all the most important nominations, so this song has become a favorite to win the award.
"Only Time" was also nominated for Best Single and Best Pop Music, but obviously these two items will not fall on them. In addition to these two biggest awards, this song also won the Best Foreign Music Award.
, nominated for Best Arrangement, Best MTV, and Best Makeup.
Liu Lang's favorite "Something Just Like This" was a bit worse. In addition to being nominated for Best Single, it was only nominated for two awards: Best Sound and Light Effects and Best Gospel Song.
Liu Lang could see that Shengtang Company had already suffered a loss when the judges added "Baby Oime" to this year's Grammy selection list.
In fact, this is a balancing act of the jury. According to past standards, these three songs have the potential to be the best singles. It can also be seen from the sales volume that all three songs are ranked at the top.
Of the five songs, "Baby Oime" ranked first, and the other two songs ranked third and fourth. However, the total sales period of the three songs was only one year, especially "Baby Oime" which just sold two
Within a month, in terms of monthly sales, these three songs are the top three, and other songs are simply incomparable.
"Baby Oime" has only been on sale for two months. According to the Grammy selection standards, it should not be included in this year. For example, the song "Thank You" was not nominated. This song was more than a month earlier than "Baby Oime"
Woolen cloth.
But if "Baby Oime" is moved to next year, there is no doubt that this song has been scheduled to be the best single in 88 years.
This year, Shengtang Music has already achieved great success. It can win many awards just for "Something Just Like This" and "Only Time". If Shengtang wins the award next year, other music companies will have to vomit blood, so the jury simply broke the rules and let Shengtang win the award.
The three songs were selected together. Firstly, they will miss next year's awards. Secondly, they will "kill each other".
But Liu Lang doesn't care. His goal is to make Shengtang Company truly famous and increase the company's value. The song "Baby Oime" has brought a value of US$100 million to Shengtang Company. Now Wall Street analysts
They have increased the value of Shengtang from 100 million US dollars to 200 million US dollars. If it goes public, I am afraid that the market value will directly exceed 250 million US dollars. Liu Lang's goal has been achieved.
The Grammy is the top award in the American pop music world. Almost all Hollywood stars will attend. Liu Lang and his Shengtang team were invited and enjoyed the "clearing out" treatment when they walked on the red carpet. This is how
There were only a few of them on the red carpet that was more than 50 meters away, and other celebrities could also queue up behind.
There are not many celebrities who can enjoy the "clearance" treatment, only a dozen or so, such as Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, etc. Let Shengtang Company have the red carpet exclusively for Liu Lang's sake, because he is too legendary.
, even though he rarely appears in the media, he still has more gimmicks than many celebrities. In addition, there is Adès Xiang accompanying him, and the weight of the group is enough.
