Volume 2 The Commodity Society Chapter 235 Grammys

Chen Feng, who was sitting in the car, was also shocked when he saw such crazy fans outside the car window. He had only seen such a scene on TV before, but it was the first time he had seen it at the scene, not to mention that this scene was caused by him. This time, he really experienced what it was like to be a world-class star, and this meeting made him feel excited and terrifying.

Of course, Chen Feng knows how popular Long is in the United States today, but he still has no exact conclusion on how popular he is, he really didn't expect that he would have such a terrifying popularity, and the fans at the scene were so crazy.

"Xiao Feng, look, a lot of people are rushing over there!" said Momiji Hua loudly as she pointed out the car window.

Chen Feng looked in the direction of Hongye's finger, strange midwinter! At least dozens of fans over there broke through the human wall formed by the police and rushed towards them, and the fans in other places, seeing the situation here, were even more desperate to hit the thin human wall formed by the police, which was like a dam bursting, first in a small place, and then in a large place, which quickly became a flood. The human wall formed by the police was quickly broken by the fans who were tens of thousands of meters away from the scene.

β€œlong!”

β€œlong!”

……

Looking at the surging fans, even though Chen Feng had the titles of "Chen Dali" and "Chen Daring" when he was a child, his face changed at this time and became a little pale.

Adams was originally quite calm, and helped Chen Feng check the scene outside the car, but now when he saw such a situation, he was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the car door and sat in, shouting at the driver in front of him: "Lock it quickly!"

In fact, without the identity of Adams, the driver was ready to lock the door at this time.

After the locking sound sounded, everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a few seconds, the first group of fans rushed to the Rolls-Royce car, all banging on the windows with excited faces, and trying to see the true face of Long Lushan in the car. It's a pity that the special material used for the window glass makes it impossible for people on the outside to see the inside, but for people inside to see the outside.

When the second batch of fans rushed in, the entire lengthened Rolls-Royce car was surrounded by water.

"It's crazy, it's crazy!" said Adams, aloud with a pale face.

Chen Feng, who was sitting in the car, was really worried that these overly enthusiastic fans would overturn the Rolls-Royce, but fortunately, these fans just kept banging on the car windows, but there were no other rough actions.

"What the hell are the cops and security guards doing?" Adams yelled in displeasure, pulling out his cell phone to call the police station.

"I'm here at the S. Taps Center, and there is a very strict incident here, so you must send more people to maintain order at the scene......

Adams called the police here, and the security personnel at the scene outside were all busy and sweating, and a few security personnel had a physical altercation with the fans at the scene during the refusal.

After the chaos lasted for five or six minutes, a large number of riot police finally arrived at the scene, drove away the surging crowd, and quickly approached the Rolls-Royce where Chen Feng and others were riding. However, they received a death order from their superiors, and they absolutely did not allow Long to be harmed in this * chaos incident, otherwise, the impact would be very bad. The scene was broadcast live by hundreds of TV stations from all over the world.

For the disturbance that happened at the Grammy host site, this has not happened in dozens of Grammy Awards ceremonies in the past, which made the media in various countries at the scene addicted, which is undoubtedly big news.

But apparently the police in Chicago acted quickly, and the fans at the scene were still more sensible, so no violence broke out. The arrival of the riot police easily dispersed the chaotic crowd at the scene, and except for a very small number of diehards who took the opportunity to make trouble, they were carried away by the police, and there was no bloodshed in the rest, which inevitably disappointed the media reporters.

The Rolls-Royce at the center of the chaos was finally fine, and after seeing that the riot police had sent a team to protect the Rolls-Royce, everyone in the car finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for a while, Adams saw that the chaos had subsided, so he let the driver unlock the door, opened the door and thanked the police who had arrived, and asked to enter the Staples Center under their escort. The person in charge, of course, agreed to Adams' request.

After Adams explained the situation to Chen Feng in the car, he got out of the car and entered the Staples Center venue together under the joint protection of several bodyguards and a team of riot police.

Along the way, everyone saw Chen Feng Zorro's dress, of course, they all had shocked expressions, at this time, because everyone knew that this "Mr. Zorro" was a long, they were naturally disappointed in shock, but they still gave this Zorro a long dress, a tsunami-like cheer, applause, whistle, and shout.

All the way to the venue of the Grammy party, under the leadership of the relevant staff, came to the backstage to make the necessary preparations, and arranged a single rest room, according to Adams, this is only the most popular singer can enjoy the treatment, generally the backstage rest room is at least two people for use, only superstars like Madonna and Michael Jackson can enjoy a single room.

Chen Feng didn't feel happy about this small treatment.

Adams said some things to Chen Feng that should be paid attention to, and then asked Chen Feng to stay in the lounge first, and he went outside to find out the news.

The party is scheduled to be held at five o'clock in the evening, but the singers and performers usually arrive at five o'clock, and the bigger stars like to arrive late, and the formal performances and awards generally start at six o'clock.

But at five o'clock, some of the awards began to be announced. The first thing that came was that Sting won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Male Singer, and soon after the Best Pop Group Award was announced, the winner was Stilly Dan, a veteran band, and the next Best Pop Duet Award was won by BBKING, which is also a veteran singer, and it has to make people wonder if this year's Grammys take special care of the elderly.

A few minutes later, the Best Female Pop Singer award was also announced, and the winner was Macy Gray. For this "strange-looking" black female singer, Chen Feng has memories of his previous life, and before this year's Grammys are revealed, I am afraid that not many fans in China know Messi Gray. In fact, the momentum of this new Grammy singer in the European and American music scene has long overtaken Whitney Houston. This female singer, whose voice was often ridiculed by her friends when she was a child, finally won people's applause with her extraordinary strength and unique voice. She has a long horse face, her facial features occupy one of the positions on her face, and she also has a fluffy "marshmallow" on her head, and her appearance is not ordinary weird. But as long as you have heard her singing, you will be deeply attracted by her hoarse and mellow singing, at least her singing is very relaxed, and the truly self-sufficient urban female * style makes people feel comfortable to listen to. In the field of R&B, a beautiful female voice is born every few years. And the appearance of Messi Gray suddenly raised those superficial R&B voices by a big cut. Macy Grey's voice is rough, wild*, raw but full of excellent control, she can make you laugh along with her while listening, she feels very kind, she never gives you a tight hip-hop feeling, she is very casual, she sings whimsically, slides wherever she goes, but she doesn't make you hear the flaws.

In addition to not being complimented by Chen Feng for her appearance, Chen Feng still appreciates her songs, such as one of her masterpieces "ITRY" Chen Feng has heard it, and it feels good.

However, the outside world is still a little surprised by Messi Gray's award, because the nominations for this award also include Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina, these two are the two most popular young women in the United States today, and the most popular for this award before was Madonna.

Of course, these news were inquired by Adams, and at this time, at the invitation of the organizer, Chen Feng and Adams walked into the venue together. He was in a good position, close to the front row, and Adams sat next to him.

Many people around saw Chen Feng's Zorro outfit and looked sideways, but tonight Chen Feng was not the weirdest outfit, if you want to say the weirdest thing is the Blue Man Orchestra, they actually wrapped their entire face in blue, making it look like a Smurf. Needless to say, they dress up like this to attract the attention of the media and create a gimmick.

At about six o'clock, the host came to the stage, and the award ceremony officially began. It is worth mentioning that the Japanese musician Kitaro won the best annual New Century Album this time, and this person Chen Feng remembers very clearly, that is, after this Kitaro won the award, his pure music was very popular in China, because there was only one word away from "Kitaro", and this Kitaro was later familiar to the majority of Chinese music fans.

Interspersed with performances by many superstars, such as Britney, Madonna, and Superboy, the most exaggerated and creative is one of the representatives of American culture, the "pop godmother" Madonna, who actually drove her car to the stage to amaze the audience.

After the awards passed, it was finally the turn of the "Best Single of the Year" award.

The host first read out the list of nominees on stage: "Long 'All Stands', U2's 'Beautiful Days', Faith Hill's 'Breath', Leigh Ann Womac's 'I Want You to Dance', Macy Gray's 'Try', and 'Call My Name' by Destiny's Child". ”

As the MTV footage was displayed on the big screen, the audience burst into cheers.

After the host read out the list of nominations, he gaged for a while, which made the audience laugh, but unfortunately his speech was too fast, Chen Feng didn't understand the main content of his words, and he didn't understand his American humor very much, so he was silent in the audience.

"Damn Γ—Γ—, don't you let people reveal the mystery?" Adams, who was beside Chen Feng, was really not in a hurry for the emperor and the eunuch, and couldn't help muttering quietly.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to invite Mr. Γ—Γ— to announce the winners of this 'Single of the Year' for us. Please!"

The award presenter came to the stage, and the guest didn't have much nonsense, he directly picked up the letter with the list of winners, opened it and read it: "The winner of the best single of the year is - U2, "Beautiful Day", let us congratulate them." ”

While the audience erupted in applause for U2, Adams couldn't help but explode into foul language: "****!FUCK!How can this song "Beautiful Days" be comparable to "All the Sun"? ”

Although Chen Feng didn't attach much importance to this award in his heart, he saw that he was nominated and ranked first, but in the end, he was disappointed, of course, this mood was not pleasant, but it just didn't break out on the spot.

What the two of them didn't know was that when the fans watching the big screen outside the stadium saw that the winner of the "Best Single of the Year" was U2, more than half of them were just as scolding as Adams, and the scolding was ten times worse than Adams. It's also completely understandable, the popularity of the U2 old band in the United States is really not comparable to long*.

After this relatively popular award passed, several less important awards were awarded, and after that, it was the turn of the main event - the best new award of the year.

At the beginning of this important award, the host routinely teased for three or four minutes before getting down to business and reading out the shortlist for this award: "long, Shelby Lynne, Jill Scott, Hisker, Paparachi." ”

The host didn't waste any more time this time, and directly invited the award presenter, the famous Hollywood comedy star Γ—Γ—, the comedy star got the letter with the winner, but did not immediately open it and read it, but started his self-righteous talk show, still Chen Feng didn't understand it very well, but the other people present, including Adams next to him, were teased by him and laughed.

Finally, when the comedian star opened the letter, he first made a very shocked and exaggerated expression before reading it out: "The winner of this year's Grammy Best New Talent is -long-"

As soon as the results were announced, more than half of the people at the scene jumped up excitedly, letting out deafening cheers and applause, which was like the Chinese football team entering the World Cup. And Adams, who was next to Chen Feng, jumped three feet high the moment he heard the result, and then hugged Chen Feng tightly with his hands, patted Chen Feng's back vigorously, and shouted excitedly: "Long! Congratulations! You are the best!"

At this time, the comedy star standing on the stage quickly changed his words nervously: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say sorry to you, I just read the wrong list! Please forgive me for this small mistake, although I myself also like that Long can win this award, but I am sorry, the real winner is Sprite Lin, let's ask her to come to the stage to accept the award." ”

The audience, including the fans who were celebrating outside the venue, were stunned by this sudden change, and the audience was silent for a while. This made the comedy star and the host on stage embarrassed, the former of course knew that his joke just now was a bit too big, and it also made the real winner Sprite Lin in the audience a little at a loss, not knowing whether he should go on stage to accept this award.

"Haha, Γ—Γ— obviously hasn't woken up from the comedic role he's played. The host hurriedly came to the rescue, pretending to be stern and saying to the comedy star, "Γ—Γ—, you must know that this is a Grammy, not Hollywood." ”

If it had been changed, his words would have amused a large number of people, but now no one laughed, but glared at the comedy star with hidden anger.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me for this little joke. The comedy star showed his comedic talent, folding his fingers on his chest with his fingers crossed, looking sincerely repentant, "Especially Long and Sprite Lynn, I hope you can forgive me!"

was ridiculed by him like this, and many people at the scene forgave him quite generously, and let out a good-natured laugh.

Seeing this, the host hurriedly said: "Now, let's invite this year's Grammy's best newcomer Sprite Lynn to the stage to accept the award!

There was some sparse applause at the scene, which made the two people on the stage and Sprite Lynn feel very embarrassed, but in the end Sprite Lynn still came on stage.

"****!****!Γ—Γ— this damn stupid donkey, can you make this joke casually? He must have forgotten to wear braces this morning. Adams cursed in a low voice with some disregard for his image, "The judges of this Grammy must have been isolated from the world, don't they know your current reputation in the United States? Don't they know what music is? We will count the best single before, but the best newcomer is awarded to this Sprite Lynn, how can she compare with you? With so many guests on the scene, how many of them can compare with your current popularity?" These damn judges, damn Grammys, knew we weren't going to participate this time. These two awards should have belonged to you. ”
