I am the savior of China Entertainment
Chapter 249 The Struggle Behind the Grammys
At a restaurant in New York, Lee Hyuk and Taylor had dinner together.
Seeing Li He clumsily cutting the steak with a knife and fork, Taylor couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle: "You're a little too clumsy, and the plate will be chopped into pieces."
Li He glared at Taylor and said: "You can say that if you have the ability, go to eat Chinese food and feel the charm of chopsticks."
"It's not like I haven't eaten before. There are many Chinese restaurants in Chinatown," Taylor said.
"Those Chinese foods are not authentic. If you have time to go to China, I will take you to eat eight major cuisines to let you feel what real Chinese food is." Li He said.
Taylor's eyes lit up: "Okay, this year I plan to tour China again. You are the host, so you must treat me well."
"Don't worry, Sichuan cuisine will be arranged for you." Li He smiled proudly.
Although Li Hyuk himself can't eat spicy food very well, he thinks he can last longer than Taylor Swift.
At this year's Grammys, Lee Hyuk and Taylor had a performance task together, but the Grammys didn't give Lee Hyuk more room to perform, so he ended up singing a song with Taylor.
In terms of winning awards, although Fantasy Records and Sony Music have invested a lot in public relations, the public relations team believes that Li Hyuk has little hope of winning the award.
As we all know, Oscars can be publicized. Behind an Oscar-winning movie, there are tens of millions of dollars in public relations expenses.
The same goes for the Grammys, where money is used for public relations. As long as the quality of the music is not bad, whoever does good public relations is likely to win the award.
But in addition to the investment in public relations, Li Hyuk also has a disadvantage. He is not white or black, or even American.
The exclusivity of North American society is clearly reflected in the music scene. Apart from the British and Americans, few singers from other countries have received Grammy nominations, let alone awards.
The most troublesome thing is that Li He is still a yellow race who is looked down upon. He is not an islander or a Korean, but a Chinese.
This is an inherent disadvantage, so the public relations team believes that getting nominated is already a good achievement, and the hope of winning an award is very small.
Lee Hyuk is also prepared to achieve nothing. After all, in order to prevent Lee Hyuk from continuing to list on the US Billboard, this year they even revised the rules of the Billboard to stipulate that singers from non-US companies cannot be on the list.
Li Hyuk is a singer of Fantasy Records, and his overseas distribution work is with Sony Music Asia. Of course, he is not a signed singer to a local record company in the United States.
The Public Security Bureau even wanted to cancel Li Hyuk's four first-place titles, but it was suspected of being a slap in the face, so they didn't do it in the end.
In the field of popular culture, people still attach great importance to it. As soon as Li Hyuk made a point of criticism, he was immediately suppressed. Now the popularity of Li Hyuk on YouTube and Google has been greatly suppressed.
Of course, Lee Hyuk's reputation has already been established, and European and American fans can still learn about Lee Hyuk and his music through various channels.
At this point, some people may ask, why is Li Hyuk being suppressed? But the cultural works of Japanese and Korean musicians are not.
It's very simple. Does your son dare to disobey his father? Especially since this father is very powerful and lives directly in your house. If he dares to resist, he will be a big mouth.
Under such absolute control, if you give me some sweet dates, my son will be grateful.
But Li He is different. Li He and the family he represents are not here to be a son, but to grab food. This makes the Jiang who wants to be a father happy.
In Na Jiang's eyes, the world has always been a zero-sum game, where the weak and the strong prey on each other, and there is no thought of win-win cooperation.
This is especially true in the field of popular culture, which has a huge say.
Relying on the Hollywood and pop music scene, Najib harvested waves of spiritual food around the world and cultivated batches of diehards.
Under such circumstances, even if Li Hyuk is not here to grab food or engage in a culture war, that person will still not let him go.
Think about Michael Jackson. If he had not been a black man, he would not have suffered the slander and encounters he suffered later.
There is one truth behind all this: But when Li Hyuk reaches a certain level in pop music, the meaning he represents has transcended himself and become a representative of a culture.
As a cultural image promotion ambassador, Li Hyuk has long surpassed himself as a musician. It is also because of this official status that the big capital and large flow of money in the country do not dare to trick Li Hyuk, which also leads to hostility from other cultural forces.
On January 28, the 60th Grammy Awards ceremony was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.
This award ceremony is the 60th birthday of the Grammy Awards. Many superstars attended the award ceremony and gave wonderful performances.
The awards ceremony will be hosted by James Corden, and CBS and Penguin Video will broadcast the ceremony.
The Penguin Video broadcast was naturally because of Lee Hyuk, and netizens were very concerned about whether Lee Hyuk would win the Grammy this time.
The red carpet ceremony started quickly. Because of Taylor's relationship, Li Hyuk's red carpet time was naturally taken very late.
On the red carpet, Taylor and Lee Hyuk appeared very close. Even at the request of reporters, Taylor gave a funny kiss to Lee Hyuk on the cheek, causing fans to scream.
However, Reba, who was far away in China watching the live broadcast, was not happy. This Taylor had bad intentions, and Reba was also afraid that Li He could not resist the temptation of Taylor, a big horse.
This is completely overthinking. If Avril was a few years younger, it would be okay, but she has no interest in Taylor and Li Hyuk who have many friends.
Red carpet ceremonies all over the world seem to be the same: walk on the red carpet, pose, sign autographs for fans, and then leave autographs on the red carpet and accept interviews.
During the interview, the red carpet host asked Li Hyuk if he was confident about winning the award. Li Hyuk replied: "I am very happy that my music can be recognized by the judges, but I don't think there is much hope of winning."
The subtext is that I am not American and will not win the award.
Such a statement was naturally regarded as evidence of lack of confidence, and Li He didn't care anymore, just pretending that he was here for a trip.
Sit down in your seat, and soon the awards ceremony will begin. First is the opening performance, the new generation of American singer Cady Klamerson brought a pure East Coast rap performance.
The backup dancers were very interesting. They were actually a group of soldiers wearing SEAL combat uniforms and carrying guns. They were very local. As for whether it had other meanings, Li He couldn't figure it out.
After Kaidi's performance, Lady Gaga took the stage to play and sing by herself.
After the two opening songs, James Corden took the stage to host, and a generation of jazz legend, an old man whom Li He didn't know, presented the first award, Best Rap Single.
The winner was Kaidi, who just performed on stage. His single with Rihanna won this award.
The overall process of the Grammy is to award two or three awards, and then intersperse some song performances, with major pop singers going up to show off their talents.
Someone once said that if you can conquer the Grammy audience, you have conquered the world.
As the most watched award and the highest palace of pop music, the Grammy is essentially only a regional award, but this is true, the audience of the Grammy is so wide.
Even Li Hyuk, a Chinese singer, was nominated, and domestic fans were extremely excited, which shows the influence of Grammy.
From this aspect, the Baodao Golden Melody Awards, which are also local awards, have much less influence.
