Chapter 1099: Grammy Pro
Built in 1925, the Sacred Auditorium is Los Angeles' most iconic ceremonial venue, where the Oscars hosted several awards ceremonies before the Kodak Theater was established in 2001. Before the Grammys moved to the Staples Center, the Great Hall was also the preferred place for ceremonies; Not only that, but the American Music Awards, People's Choice Awards, Black Entertainment Television Awards and other award ceremonies are also very happy to be held here.
It wasn't until the opening of the Kodak Theatre in 2001 that the iconic name of the Sacred Auditorium officially ended, and the following year, the Sacred Auditorium ended its 77-year glory days and has been history ever since.
Hugo was not familiar with the Great Hall, which had been relegated to history since the 21st century, and he had never attended a performance or banquet in Los Angeles in the years he had been here. The Holy Cathedral is a shrine in the Shrine (al. malaikahγ temple), so the whole shape is very unique. When Hugo arrived at the scene, he couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the church-like appearance of the Holy Auditorium.
But the attention of the glorious players was obviously not here, Pedro pulled his coat a little anxiously, and Alfonso, who was sitting opposite, also looked restless, and said impatiently, "Pepe, can you stop shaking your feet all the time?" I felt like the whole car was shaking. β
"Man, the car is moving forward, of course it's shaking! I'm not Hulk, don't blame me for the problem. Pedro also retorted with a depressed face.
"Are you sure you don't need to stop and chase them down?" Fokine said calmly to Henry, who was sitting in the corner.
But before Henry could reply, Alfonso and Pedro shouted in unison, "Hey! β
Henry adjusted his sitting posture, today Henry was rarely dressed in a formal suit, the crumpled shirt was finally gone, replaced by a white round-neck single-pocket T-shirt, with a black blazer, the whole person was in good spirits. But even so, Henry leaned back in his chair as if he had no bones, and his face did not make any progress.
Henry glanced at Neil, obviously hoping that Neil, the captain, would come out to mediate, but Neil was a little distracted, looking out the window without much reaction, as if he hadn't heard his teammates arguing at all. The corners of Henry's mouth twitched slightly, after all, he was still nervous, maybe they were not nervous about the Grammy ceremony, but about the performance on the global live broadcast stage, but the members of the glory to death were still nervous after all.
That's true for Pedro, Alfonso, Fokine and Neil.
Henry couldn't help but move his gaze to Hugo, the "only" trustworthy one, but he didn't want to, but Hugo's eyes looked at Henry with a smile, and the sight that seemed to be able to probe his heart made Henry dodge for the first time. Immediately, Henry reacted, in fact, he was also nervous, and Hugo found out about this.
Henry is a little different today, and Hugo did notice that, and on the surface it seems that Henry is still lazy, but every now and then Henry will look out the window and then look at Jefferson Avenue in distraction. blvd).
Hugo remembered that it was Henry who accompanied Mariah Carey on the red carpet when she won the Newcomer of the Year trophy at the 33rd Grammy Awards.
Although Henry never told the members of the Glory to Death about that memory, nor did he say anything about the feud between him and Maria, Hugo knew that deep down in his heart, Henry had never forgotten it. Trust, the most luxurious thing in the world, can only be obtained through a lot of hardship, but once broken, it will become an eternal wound in the depths of the heart, which can be healed, but cannot be erased.
Hugo took his eyes back from Henry and turned to look at his teammates, "Guys, you can't be scared, right?" β
Hugo's words immediately made Pedro and Alfonso furious, "Who are you talking about!" "Who's scared ......" and Pedro jumped up directly, squeezing down Fujin next to him, Fujin looked at Pedro with an annoyed face, almost gritting his teeth.
The chaos also made Neil react, and then looked at Hugo suspiciously. Hugo just raised his voice and said, "Then shut up!" This sentence made Pedro stand stiff in place, his shoulders against the roof of the car, his head curled up pitifully, and people couldn't help but laugh, "It's just an awards ceremony, we didn't intend to be recognized here, did we?" So why be nervous. This is just a stage performance, a very ordinary performance, even if there are many audiences, but how many of them really care about our music? For us, the most special stage belongs to the fans, and it will not be tonight. β
Tonight's performance may be an important turning point in the Glory to Death musical career, but it is not the most special existence. The glory of the light to death will always remain in their own concerts β to share with the fans who truly understand their music.
"I'm not nervous, I'm just worried about my image." Pedro tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, forced a quibble, and then sat down slowly, not forgetting to straighten his coat.
"You're handsome, trust me, those guys are going crazy about you, so, don't worry." Hugo did not pursue further.
In fact, Hugo knew that this was the first time that Glory to Death had appeared collectively on such a grand occasion, although in the past year and a half, the cause of Glory to Death has flourished, but strictly speaking, Glory to Death has always stood on the cusp, and the conflict between them and the mainstream connoisseurship has never been completely alleviated - even if "Bathing in the Morning Light" has created such an incredible achievement, just like the Nirvana band.
Although people keep repeating the greatness of the Nirvana Band and constantly emphasizing the transformation of the Nirvana Band to the music market, the Nirvana Band is always just an outsider who mistakenly intrudes into their world in the hearts of those mainstream societies. The Grammys have never had any nirvana bands, which is one of the most obvious manifestations. The same is true of glory unto death.
So, it is normal for glory to die to be nervous. Not only because this is a grand occasion, but also because they are the dwarfs who mistakenly entered the Giant Country, but also because they are about to give an amazing performance that subverts the Giant Country, how can they not be nervous when their inner excitement and apprehension collide together?
Hearing Hugo's ridicule, Pedro not only did not embarrass him, but raised his chin slightly, with a triumphant expression, like hair. The male peacock of love. Looking at Pedro's appearance, everyone else couldn't help but laugh and laughed, and the tense atmosphere dissipated a lot unconsciously. Glory to death is not a fledgling newcomer after all.
Henry looked up at the harmonious band in front of him, lowered his eyes, and flashed the figure of Mariah Carey, when he took Maria to the Grammys, she was just a young girl, nervous and overwhelmed, constantly asking him "Is my clothes okay", "My makeup is not flowered", ...... The whole carriage was filled with vigor and vigor.
Revisiting the old place after three years, Henry almost forgot how lively the atmosphere at the Grammys really was.
"Ahhh......h
Henry looked out the window, the members of Green Day were cheering on the fans in the first half of the red carpet, as the most powerful emerging band of the last year, the youthful energy of Green Day was widely welcomed among young people, and they brought with them a retro wave of punk, and Green Day was clearly in a much better position in the mainstream music market than the maverick who was glory to death.
"Now it's your showtime." Henry felt the car slowly coming to a halt and watched as the band members spoke, "Enjoy those cheers, you deserve it." β
The sedan pulled over on the side of the road, and Neil looked at his teammates, let out a long breath, and then without further hesitation, opened the door and walked down.
When Neil appeared at the beginning of the red carpet, he couldn't help but feel his muscles stiff a little. This is really not the occasion he is good at, and he still likes the tension and excitement before the concert more than the Grammy red carpet. Soon, though, Neil found a familiar feeling.
Sally Hansen, who was standing on the side of the red carpet, was the first to notice Neil's appearance. The reason why she came to the Holy Hall today is to die for glory, this is the first time that glory to death has appeared on the stage of the Grammys, and she will definitely not miss this moment in history: when alternative rock collides with mainstream music.
"Ahh Neil! Without hesitation, Sally released all the energy in her body, and burst out all the excitement, excitement, joy and happiness in her heart by screaming.
Immediately afterwards, Miluan-Torliannia, who was standing beside Sally, also cast her attention, and she also screamed without showing weakness, "Ah! Neil, it's Neil! Yes! β
Compared to Sally and Miluan, two unorganized and undisciplined fans, Eli Casvi has obviously grown up now, and he is much more mature, Eli immediately gestured to his friend Liam Pinkerman, and then a large number of fans such as Lydia Shamor, Joshua Cranston, and Kayla Cole who were standing behind him reacted immediately.
"Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! β
The fans began to beat the beat with their hands and feet, and the uniform beat went from small to large, and Sally and Milouan finally reacted and joined the rhythm of the beat. In an instant, the young volcano erupted on the red carpet of the Grammys!
