Chapter 622: The King’s Flag Changing on the City Wall

Me?

Me? ?

Me? ? ?

The huge surprise overwhelmed Rihanna so much that she didn't even know what the host on TV said. In the end, it was Ivan Rogers' call that brought her back to her senses-

After forcibly suppressing the excitement in her heart, Rihanna immediately asked: "When will we go to New York to sign? Are you sure we can sign?"

New York, the headquarters of Warner Records. The legendary place of decadence and luxury, it is also the city of her dreams.

Countless times in her dreams at midnight, she would imagine herself as a diamond shining in the sky above New York...

She was afraid that all these expectations would end up in vain.

"Of course, we will leave tomorrow. As for whether you can sign the contract in the end, it depends on you."

Ivan Rogers warned: "Spike's evaluation of you is your voice. As long as you can show the characteristics in the demo as usual, I believe that signing the contract should not be a problem. After signing with Warner, I will help you produce your first album with Warner."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Rihanna, who finally couldn't control herself, stood up and jumped, punching the air three times!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Looking at the Grammy scene that had already entered the backstage, Zhou Yi, who appeared from time to time in the camera, seemed to her to have an extra layer of filter - the holy light filter!

She didn't know whether Spike would ask women to sleep with him like the gossip stories in the industry she had heard, but considering the man's reputation, if it was him...she would not be unacceptable.

At least it was pleasing to the eyes and made her feel enjoyable.

However, it seemed that there were no black people among Zhou Yi's rumored objects?

"A-choo!"

At the Grammys, Zhou Yi sneezed quietly when he entered the venue.

Which bastard is nagging me behind my back?

Eminem or 50 Cent?

Zhou Yi immediately cast his suspicious eyes on the hip-hop gang sitting on the other side.

"Do you have a cold, Spike?" Warner's new CEO Edgar Jr. sat on Zhou Yi's left hand side. His serious look showed no trace of his past playboy temperament.

"No, maybe I just haven't adapted to the damn weather in Los Angeles yet."

Zhou Yi shook his head.

On his right hand side sat Qian Jiang, the general agent who managed his management team.

Compared to other singers such as Justin Timberlake, he directly brought his family members, such as parents and brothers.

It's just a Grammy, and it's not the first time he has won an award. He doesn't have to take his parents abroad and travel a long way.

"Are you Spike? Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Yoko Ono."

"I'm Olivia Harrison."

Just as Zhou Yi was having encrypted conversations with Qian Jiang in Chinese from time to time, the arrival of several figures made Zhou Yi stunned for a moment-

Olivia Harrison, the wife of George Harrison, a member of the Beatles, a legendary band in the history of the world music scene, and Yoko Ono, the wife of John Lennon who died of a gunshot, were invited by the Grammy Organizing Committee to this year's awards ceremony to accept praise on behalf of the Beatles.

Coincidentally, after Zhou Yi released his second album, not only did his performance go against the sky, but he also boasted more and more fiercely-something like being on par with the Beatles, surpassing the Beatles, etc.

And now, it can be said that the real owner has come to the door.

As for why only the two widows of the Beatles were invited to the scene to commend the Beatles, but the other two existing members were not invited and would only appear in the form of VCR...

That depends on personal opinion.

Anyway, in Zhou Yi's opinion, it should be caused by the historical legacy of the past bands. After all, the Beatles were too ugly when they disbanded, but many people were blinded by the legendary nature of this band.

"Your album is great. I heard the attitude in it, which is the soul of rock music." Yoko Ono, who had done many abstract art behaviors with John Lennon in her early years and claimed to be an artist, said with a smile after shaking hands.

Olivia Harrison took out a copy of Zhou Yi's "Forever Young": "I hope you can have fun tonight, Spike."

Yes, play.

In the eyes of the two of them, the so-called Grammy is actually play.

Otherwise, why not invite them earlier or later? How long have they been dead before they were invited?

It's a fuss.

And they only dared to play a marginal ball, and could not convince the other members of the Beatles who were still alive to come to the scene to present the award to Zhou Yi.

Yes.

From the moment they accepted the invitation, they had a feeling that in addition to commending the Beatles, they had another use-being invited to present the award.

Present the award to Zhou Yi.

Facts have proved that it was not wrong.

"Surprise, spike."

After a brief meeting, Zhou Yi, who sat down, immediately received surprise congratulations from the president Edgar next to him: "How is it, did you get enough cards?"

The widow of the legendary band presented the award, which was undoubtedly to exaggerate Zhou Yi's own legendary nature, while also reducing the criticism of Zhou Yi by the fans of the Beatles.

After all, to put it bluntly, the original marketing was indeed riding on the Beatles.

"You did it?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Little Edgar showed a proud expression: "You know, there was a lot of bad blood between the Beatles. Among them, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were even more troubled. The lawsuit was filed directly in court, permanently banning the possibility of the Beatles reuniting."

Although John Lennon later died of a shooting, this did not mean that the conflict between the two parties was over.

Especially for the two widows, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison.

"I admit, this is indeed a surprise."

Zhou Yi shrugged.

In his impression, the two widows did appear at this Grammy Awards, but they were only to express condolences and thank the Grammy organizing committee for their recognition and praise, and had no role as award presenters.

Obviously, this is the result of little Edgar's operation.

The new generation of Warner Records needs to establish absolute authority and flex its muscles, and Zhou Yi, who is a shareholder himself, is undoubtedly the best candidate to be used as a facade model.

Little Edgar is known as a prodigal son, but this also means that he has made many connections along the way.

After the opening show of Prince and Beyoncé, Zhou Yi, who knew that he was guaranteed tonight, sat very relaxed.

Justin Timberlake was completely unaffected by any Super Bowl halftime show and went on stage to receive the Best Male Pop Vocal Award. He even brought up old incidents on stage, pretending to be innocent and saying that the Super Bowl incident a few days ago was unintentional;

Later, when a scantily clad female singer came on stage to accept the award, she also gave a hint to Jennifer Jackson, who was not present, saying that she did not want to be naked like her.

It can only be said that the king's flag has changed on the city wall.

Thinking back to when the Jackson sisters were glorious, how could they encounter such ridicule by naming them.

The award-giving guests passed round after round, and when it was the turn of the rock awards, Warner was all in high spirits - Best Rock Male Vocalist, Best Hard Rock Performance, Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Zhouyi was nominated for all five categories of rock album awards.

The first Best Male Rock Singer Award was presented by Yoko Ono, who had greeted Zhou Yi before the show started.

"well..."

After taking the stage, Yoko Ono, who enjoyed the applause of the audience, patted the microphone, held the envelope she had glanced at in her hand, and smiled with a professional kindness: "I think everyone present knows that last year, a lot of people emerged in the music world. An extremely dazzling rock star.

"From him, I saw a little bit of what John was like in the past. He was so against all the injustices in the world..."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone turned their attention to Zhou Yi, who was still sitting in the chair with a smile and indifference. From time to time, someone frowned——

"Fuck! John Lennon's widow gave him a platform?!"

In the hip-hop area, 50 Cent raised his hand to cover his lips after seeing this, and uttered a curse word in a low voice.

This was such a fucking surprise to him.

This is the first of its kind.

What is this? The inheritance of rock music?

Why, do you want to change the royal flag on the city wall of your rock music?

"Now, I am honored to announce here that the winner of the 46th Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance is... Spike!"

After reading out her name, Yoko Ono held the trophy given by the organizing committee in her hands. When the live music started, Zhou Yi came on stage. As the widow of John Lennon, she caught all Beatles fans off guard. The gesture recognized Zhouyi’s status as the new king——

"Congratulations, Spike, I'm proud of you. I think if John is alive in heaven, he will be proud of your performance."

Yoko Ono emotionally mentioned her late husband.

As we all know, the most famous and legendary figure in the Beatles was John Lennon, who was shot and killed by a fan.
