From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Unexpected, completely unexpected, the Grammys performance by August 31st Band was already brilliant and legendary enough, but the behind-the-scenes stories hidden behind the stage could actually make this stage even more legendary—

Everything actually happened that night!

Like Cinderella's ball.

Random.

Temporary.

Sudden.

Inspired.

As a result, it became a legend and a classic.

Sure enough, everything is about music, and only about music.

August 31st Band treated the Grammy Awards stage as the streets of Manhattan, returning to the sunny afternoon when they first met, regaining their original intention, and once again writing a classic moment comparable to "Wake Me Up."

Sure enough, the only thing that can surpass August 31st Band is the band itself.

People missed the classic moment when Anson and the band members created "Wake Me Up" on the street, but now they witnessed the birth of another legendary performance at the Grammy Awards, making the trip worthwhile.

Shock and impact, one wave after another.

"Anson, please, please record and release it as soon as possible, my wallet is all yours."

"Although Anson's schedule is full, can you take an afternoon to record it? I'm really begging you."

"Ahhh, I'm really looking forward to it, I hope I don't have to wait as long as 'Wake Me Up' this time."

"…I can wait! No matter how long, I'll wait!"

"So, is this Archie's song? Did anyone see what happened on the red carpet?"

Noisy and bustling, discussions continued, and various discussions were raging in major forums.

According to the stories pieced together by different witnesses, the emotion spread. At this moment, recalling the live performance of that song at the Grammy Awards, the emotion and passion could no longer be controlled, and further soared.

As Anson has always said, real music, real performances, have their own voice, and they can always be heard and discovered.

The calls are rising steadily, and some people even shouted—

New album!

The quality of the album "Midsummer Midnight" is truly amazing, and now that the band continues to maintain its vigorous creative vitality, they can completely expect and should expect the band's second studio album.

"Album!"

"Album!"

"Album!"

The calls continued to rise, becoming more and more intense, just like Anson's momentum.

Not to mention the Oscars, even the Grammys themselves were stunned, completely unexpected that Anson's momentum had reached such a level.

An incredible height!

However, fans still need to wait patiently, just like waiting for "Wake Me Up" back then.

Although the single still needs to wait for a while, at least Warner Records is not completely without good news, they announced the name of the song—

"One More Light."

The focus is not on the light, but on another light that illuminates the starry sky, a faint, small, unnoticed light that is still an indispensable light in the vast night sky, thousands of lights hidden in the corners of the shadows that quietly illuminate a small piece of the world, they are just as important.

Uncontrollably, the blood boiled again.

Later, the 46th Grammy Awards ceremony was rebroadcast on CBS.

The number of viewers still maintained an excellent eight million, a small surprise; however, at the moment when Anson made an unremarkable appearance in the opening performance of the second half, the number of viewers soared to 18 million, also creating a new high in the rebroadcast ratings of the Grammys in the past twenty years.

Horrifying!

This wave of heat should not stop in a short time.

No wonder the Oscars are being roasted on the fire again—

Now the topic figure that the entire North American continent is hotly discussing is absent from the Oscars, even if the Academy has always disdained using traffic and popularity as publicity points, they still have to admit that the pressure on ratings has always been there.

Frustrated.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has never been so frustrated.

However, the decision is not here with them—

The outside world has not leaked the news for the time being, but they are very clear:

August 31st Band has disbanded.

This is a peaceful breakup, and Anson and the band members are still good friends; and it is not a business relationship, they are talking and laughing and have a close relationship.

But imagine, if the inside story is revealed at such a juncture, it will definitely be a chaos, and competitors will probably seize the opportunity to severely attack them.

This is the dilemma that Warner Records does not want to face.

Therefore, they are even more eager for the single "One More Light" than the fans—

At least, it can temporarily shift the attention and win space for their subsequent layout and response.

In this regard, Miles, Lily, and Connor are 100% willing to cooperate.

In fact, the three of them are also preparing their own band to prepare a brand new album; but as Anson said, August 31st Band no longer exists, but they are still friends playing music together.

The focus is still on Anson.

Not long ago, Anson said that after the Grammy Awards, he will immediately enter the crew, and the work "Walk the Line" will officially start. Helplessly, he can only regretfully miss this year's Oscars.

This is not an excuse, but a fact.

"Walk the Line" has long been ready, and the entire crew is waiting for Anson alone; but this year's awards season, Anson's schedule is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and he doesn't even have time to breathe, so the crew has to be patient.

Now, Anson is willing to miss the Oscars to ensure that the "Walk the Line" crew can start as soon as possible, and the two "James" can be described as ecstatic and grateful.

Anson hopes to keep his promise.

The Grammy Awards…was an accident.

Even Anson himself did not expect that "One More Light" and the performance stage could cause a tsunami-like reaction, far beyond imagination.

Dilemma.

Despite the regret, Anson still hopes to abide by his promise to the crew, and go to the crew to report as soon as possible. The recording of "One More Light" will be put on hold for the time being, and see if there is a chance to complete the recording in the future.

After all, an agreement is an agreement.

Anson had already promised the two James first, hadn't he?

However, after one accident, another accident occurred, disrupting Anson's plan.

An unexpected face followed Edgar's footsteps to visit.

"Matt Brown, you should be Lucas Wood, please forgive my rash visit, I hope I didn't disturb your daily life."

The man standing in front of him was thin and tall, with gray hair on his temples, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, like a university professor, with a scholarly temperament.

Lucas was the one who greeted the guests at the gate of Anson's villa.

Lucas glanced at Edgar, didn't say much, and then looked at this scholar, "The purpose of your visit today is to disrupt Anson's schedule, so you seized this time to come to the door, Mr. Brown."

Sharp, straightforward, but with a bit of ridicule, Lucas did not hide his sharpness.
