Perhaps many people think that the Grammys are too commercial and too mainstream to dismiss the Grammys, but objectively speaking, no one can deny the powerful influence of the Grammys. From the Beatles to Michael Jackson, from Elvis Pressley to Frank Sinatra, from Whitney Houston to Mariah Carey, the Grammys have always featured prominently in the honor books of these top superstars.

Glory to death will not change itself for the sake of the Grammys, but it is undeniable that being able to win the Grammy award is a very important step for Glory to Death, for new metal rock, and for alternative rock.

Of course, it has nothing to do with the band, they just have fun. Hugo looked at the excited teammates in front of him, looked at the colleagues who flocked to congratulate him, and the memories that flashed briefly in his heart gradually dissipated, he never regretted this journey, and he will not regret it, he will continue to walk unswervingly. The beautiful scenery on the road will be firmly remembered in his mind and become his most valuable treasure.

As I said in my acceptance speech, at least this is not the end.

Hugo shook the gramophone trophy in his hand vigorously, and the joy of winning the award for Best Rock Song was hidden deep in his heart, because he knew that he had a bigger task ahead of him tonight. Since the Grammys have begun to change, but they are cautious and afraid of making mistakes, let Glory to Death be the driving force!

After the crowd of congratulations dispersed, the glorious and dying team members gathered together again, Pedro was still out of breath, obviously jumping up and down just now was too powerful, Alfonso glanced at Pedro helplessly, and then turned his head to look at Hugo and the others, "What's next?" ”

This is a pun, that is, asking them how to prepare for the performance next, they unexpectedly won the award, skipping the steps of the staff to lead them to the backstage, and stood directly backstage, so there is no guidance on what should happen next; At the same time, it is also an inquiry, the Grammys unexpectedly presented awards to them, so is the glorious and deathly performance still going according to plan? Or do you continue to work openly against the Grammys?

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm ready, what about you?" Obviously, Hugo is saying that not a single qiē has changed.

The five members of the Glory to Death exchanged glances with each other, and then all smiled in agreement, and Neil spoke, "Show time!" Glory unto death! It's a cheering slogan before every band performs, and as captain, Neil says this phrase to mean that a hurricane is about to descend on the stage of the Holy Auditorium.

"Gentlemen, please follow me." A staff member walked over and smiled at the members of the Honor to Death, apparently he would be in charge of the string before the Honor to Death show began. Resting the instrument, adjusting the instrument, verifying the microphone, etc., a grand performance, the preparation should not be overlooked.

While Glory to Death was preparing for the show, Henry was heading towards the monitoring room.

For tonight, Henry, Rick, and Joseph have been planning for a long time, and they have a feeling of gathering together to do bad things, and it is very strange that Henry and Rick are both agents, and it stands to reason that they will never agree to this kind of "big rebellion" thing, but they have all become accomplices in crime, not only do they not worry, but they also have a sense of excitement and pleasure in achieving great things.

It's a wonderful thing.

While the award ceremony was going on just now, Henry went separate from Joseph and Rick. Before the award ceremony, they had either persuaded or bribed the staff to ensure that during the Glory to Death performance, the lighting team and the sound team were all staff on their side, and even if the director team gave the order to stop, they would not stand to interrupt the supply of lights or impressions, so as to buy more time for Glory to Death.

But even so, they still need to send someone on the scene to supervise and make sure things don't go wrong. Joseph is in charge of the sound and Rick is in charge of the lighting, and they will be the double insurance deposits.

As for Henry, he has the most important and difficult part: preventing the director from reacting in the first place. If the director directly switches the picture in the broadcast studio and switches the live screen to an advertisement or a promotional video, then all the work on the scene will be in vain.

But the director is not like other positions, they can persuade the deputy or assistant of the lighting engineer or sound engineer to take over the work at the moment of glory to death, or destroy the connection between the main person in charge and the director, or pass on the wrong instructions, so that the director's correct instructions are ten or twenty seconds late, maybe it will be done. But the position of director is not good.

For the director, Henry had to go there himself, and the situation on the set was full of unknowns beyond his control. Henry walked steadily towards the monitoring room, but his mind was recalling the director's information.

Joey Henderson, the general director of tonight's Grammy Awards, was the director who made music videos, and his first job was as a lighting assistant on the set of Michael Jackson's famous music video "Billy Jane", which was the first milestone that changed the course of music history.

After this experience, Joey's work went very well, and he shot music videos for top singers such as Madonna, Whitney Houston, Guns N' N' Roses, and Aerosmith, which became his stepping stone to the television industry. Over the past three years, Joey has directed a number of TV series, and although he has only directed a few episodes, he has gained a lot of experience and has become the live director of MTV's most famous music show, MTV.Unplug.

It is the job of "MTV Unplugged" that made Joey the director of the 37th Grammy, and his scheduling of live shots and the control of the audience's atmosphere are the biggest advantages.

From Joey's experience, we can see that he has always had an indissoluble bond with rock and roll, and many of his jobs are closely related to rock and roll. Kurt Cobain's last official TV show before his suicide was "MTV Unplugged," and Joey was there at the time.

Henry can only hope that the rock and roll elements of Joey's many experiences will leave a mark on his veins and become the breakthrough for him to complete the fatal blow tonight.

Thinking about it, the monitoring room was already close in front of him, and Henry looked at the door, fortunately, due to the long history of the Holy Auditorium, the doorknobs here were all old-fashioned, and they were not iron doors. It's just that if the door is locked, how will he get in?

At this moment, the door of the monitoring room actually opened, and a staff member walked out, Henry couldn't dodge, and actually ran into it head-on, and the other party looked at Henry suspiciously. Although it is said that the backstage is not guarded, generally speaking, outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit this kind of live broadcast center at will.

Henry's eyes rolled, and he said directly, "The backstage bathroom is full, and my artist is about to take the stage, is there a bathroom on the other side?" ”

"Your artist?" The staff was obviously not so easy to fool, and asked with a frown.

"Mariah Carey, I'm her assistant." Henry said with a wry face, and seeing the staff's suddenly realized expression, Henry put on a look of the passer, and then added, "You know, she always asks for more of her own personal matters. ”

The staff nodded with a "you know, I know" expression, it has been more than four years since Maria's rise, especially in the last year or two, the rumors about Maria's pickiness and trouble have spread one after another, and some people have vaguely begun to complain that Maria likes to play big names. Although it is only a few rumors at the moment, and it has not really been widely confirmed, the people who wander around this circle know more or less a little.

More importantly, the artist's stylist, hairstylist, and assistant are often the first-hand source of information.

So, Henry's argument is very convincing.

The staff looked back at the end of the hallway, "Here's one for the staff to use, you can let Maria go over and use it, emergency." If she goes to the other side of the stage and has to go around in a big circle, she probably doesn't want to. At the end of the sentence, the staff blinked, as if to say, "She's really troublesome." ”

Henry spread his hands and expressed helplessness, in fact, he agreed, "Don't say it, I have to run back quickly, otherwise if you slow down, things will be bad." With a sympathetic look on his face, the staff watched as Henry turned away.

Henry got to the corner of the hallway, hid, and began to calculate. At least there is good news, it seems that the staff is not very vigilant, which creates an opportunity for him.

"Whew......" Henry let out a long breath and began to brew a head-to-head confrontation with Joey for a while. This feeling of nervousness, which has really been lost for a long time, reminds Henry of when he first entered the industry.

Tonight is more important for Glory to Death than signing with EMI Records, and more important than the glory of the album "Bathing in the Morning Light". Henry wanted to help Glory to His death realize this grand plan.

At this point, Glory to Death, who was standing on the side stage, began to move his limbs, and their performance was closely followed by Pearl Sauce, which was the penultimate tandem performance of the first half, after which two awards would be awarded, followed by Neil Young's halftime performance, and the first half was over.

Hugo watched Pearl Sauce sweat on stage, and the members of Pearl Sauce worked hard today, because this was the first time that grunge had landed on the Grammys in the true sense of the word, and the Sound Garden Band would also be on stage, hoping to make the grunge grunge feel to the audience watching around the world. It's their duty, and it's their dream.

As the song came to an end, Neil's voice came over, "Guys! The four teammates turned their gaze to the captain, then looked at Neil and said, "It's our turn!" ”
