Chapter 444 Winning the Prize

Unlike the Oscar ceremony, which is arranged like a theater performance, the Grammy ceremony is arranged like a concert. There is an extended sub-stage in the middle of the rectangular main stage to facilitate the interaction between the performing guests and the guests in the audience.

In the past, during the Grammy opening performances, many singers would perform live performances on the stage in order to leave a deep impression on everyone.

Some will sing while doing gymnastics, and some will perform performance art that makes people scratch their heads.

However, these are very normal things in the eyes of big families. After all, the West advocates rebellion and being different. It would be too boring to follow the same rules.

But on the other hand, if someone suddenly performs a serious performance without any bells and whistles after so many lives, it would be rebellion in another sense.

To sum up, no matter what method you use to perform, as long as it is good enough, everyone will applaud.

Compared with the exaggerated and unrestrained stage performances in Europe and the United States, Luo Quan's stage performances have always been more reserved. In most cases, he just sings step by step with a microphone.

Today is no exception. Although she is dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, what she sings is not a big, gorgeous song like "My Heart Will Go On", but a simple and refreshing song.

"Next, please welcome Luo Quan to give you the opening performance. The song is called "In my life"! (The original singer is the Beatles.)"

"I will remember many places

A lot of what I have experienced in my life has changed

Some eternal persistence is not for the better

Some have left and some have stayed.

Every place has its own unique memory

I can still recall the time spent with my lovers and friends

Some people have passed away and some people are still alive

I’ve loved them all in my life…”

The lyrics are warm and slightly sad, and the style of the song is fresh and light. There is no accompaniment in the entire song, and Luo Quan plays the guitar and sings entirely by himself.

What's interesting is that she herself is hidden behind a thin translucent curtain, and everyone can only see her silhouette playing the guitar, which is full of hazy beauty.

To be honest, this song was a bit beyond the expectations of the guests in the audience.

It was a bit too fresh and refined, and seemed a bit out of place with the luxurious Grammy stage.

This is one of the most influential award ceremonies in the world's entertainment industry. It should have been decorated with explosive performances, but Luo Quan chose such a song with originality.

The key point is that this song is surprisingly good. Just from the first line, the guests in the audience suddenly felt their eyes light up and shook their bodies slightly.

The excellence of this song has surpassed almost all the saliva songs on the market.

Seeing Luo Quan singing in a simple way on the stage, the singers in the audience suddenly became enlightened.

Music, it seems, shouldn’t be that complicated.

Today's Western music seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, the more complex and gorgeous the accompaniment and arrangement are, the better the song will be.

Lyrics and melody are no longer the first set of factors to judge whether a song is good or not. Instead, it is production, a technical factor.

The advancement of technology has added too much content to a song, and singers can express more and more thoughts in it, creating magical styles one after another.

But it ignores the most essential thing of the song, which is the melody and lyrics.

It's not the superb production skills that make a good song, it never has been.

But now many people have fallen into this misunderstanding, but Luo Quan has always remained sober.

Counting the many songs released by Luo Quan, none of them have such superb production technology, and the accompaniment usually only has a few sounds.

Sometimes it only takes her an hour or two to make a song. She plays the accompaniment herself and then sings it again to create a song.

When other singers make a song, they often need to collect more than a dozen types of sound source materials and rack their brains to fuse them together. The production cycle of a song often takes more than half a month.

And even a song with such a long production cycle cannot compare to a song Luo Quanhua made in a few hours.

This is not a simple gap in musical talent. More importantly, it should be that the direction they chose was wrong from the beginning.

Therefore, the more you work in this direction, the more outrageous your mistakes will be, and the greater the distance between you and Luo Quan will be.

The song "In my life" awakened them at this moment.

A guitar, a voice, and everyone can't even see the real person of Luo Quan.

But who dares to say that this song is not good? No!

Even though it is so simple, as long as it is posted online, even if it is posted anonymously, it will definitely reach the top of the B list and win the top single.

The only difference is that if Luo Quan's name is used, the time it takes to reach the top of the B chart will be shortened to the extreme, but this should not affect the performance of this song.

After all, the melody and lyrics are there. How could fans not like such a beautiful song?

The singers seem to understand Luo Quan's secret to success.

In fact, the European and American music scene at the beginning of the century was not like it is now. Songs with beautiful melodies emerged one after another, and there were countless outstanding composers.

But I don’t know since when, everyone started to spend their energy on things other than music.

I don’t know whether technological progress is a good thing or a bad thing.

While he was thinking about it, Luo Quan's fresh song had already been sung.

The guests were very surprised. It didn't even last three minutes. Is this too fast?

The show isn't over yet, of course, and Grammy opening acts are never about singing just one song.

Luo Quan also understood that in such a big scene, it would be unjustifiable not to be enthusiastic.

When she sang "In my life", she didn't actually want to tell other singers the truth about music. She just wanted to use this song to recall the relatives and friends she had met in her past life.

This song is sung to them.

The thin curtain was used to cover it because the clothes she was wearing were too flashy and singing such a song would seem a bit inappropriate.

As for the many things that the guests in the audience made up in their own minds, the many insights they gained were not her original intention.

Now that the appetizers are over, the main course is about to begin.

First, the thin curtain fell, and Luo Quan suddenly appeared in front of everyone, wearing a pink feather dress.

A refreshing wind blew under the stage, causing the hem of Luo Quan's skirt and the feathers on it to float up and down, making it look like a pair of flapping wings.

"Music Angel!" Some guest in the audience who liked Luo Quan suddenly shouted her nickname loudly.

Luo Quan actually has many nicknames, such as the most beautiful in the world, Oriental Mozart, fashionable black hole, and the mouth of the abyss...

But the most famous in the pop music circle is the Music Angel.

After all, this nickname appeared in the title of Time magazine, and it fits her personality quite well.

Now that he suddenly shouted out, no one in the audience thought there was anything wrong. Everything was so natural.

Luo Quan on stage now is indeed an angel of music.

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

I've burned everything but you just looked on with cold eyes

Well that's all right

But that's okay

Because I like the way it hurts

Because I like this feeling of heartache

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

I couldn't help but cry, but you just looked on with cold eyes

Well that's all right

But that's okay

Because I love the way you lie

Because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie..."

A cappella song, the guests immediately recognized that this song was a song Luo Quan had released before, the song was called "Love the way you lie" (Even the way you lie is loved).

However, this song does not seem to be a solo, but a combination of pop and rap, and the rap part was completed by Leon, who is known as the Little King of Rap.

That is to say......

The next second, the exciting drum beats and accompaniment sounded, and Lyon sang passionate rap, walking arrogantly and domineeringly, and slowly walked to the front of the stage.

(ps. For specific pictures, you can go to station B to search for Amr Rihanna’s Grammy performance)

"I knew it, I knew it!"

The guests in the audience cheered excitedly, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

As if to suit the atmosphere, a blazing flame appeared on the large electronic screen on the stage, and Leon walked to the front of the stage under this background.

In the United States, Luo Quan and Lyon are recognized as the best combination.

Although the number of times they have sung on the same stage is very small, the effect of Tao's singing every time is outstanding. The characteristics of the two complement each other almost perfectly, and their appearance is the best in the world. Whether it is auditory or visual, for It is an extremely beautiful experience for the audience.

This time at the Grammys, the outside world had speculated about the possibility of the two performing together, but the organizer announced that only Luo Quan would be the one, so no one had too many expectations in this regard.

However, unexpectedly, Leon still came out.

I can’t say I didn’t expect it, because this is a very reasonable thing.

Just how effective the duet between Luo Quan and Leon is. You can tell by asking the B-chart toppers who were swept away. Their duet songs are still on the charts now. There are very few songs in the music world that can be so strong. .

And the song the two of them are singing on stage is definitely one of the best songs in recent years, both in pop and rap.

Lyon's rap is very infectious, the rhythm is bright and powerful, and Luo Quan's singing voice is loud and clear, both in terms of timbre and technique, they have reached the pinnacle.

Listening to the performance of these two people is a kind of enjoyment even for the top musicians in the audience, not to mention the audience who are watching the live broadcast at this time. They have already screamed with excitement and all kinds of barrages are going crazy. After turning up the screen, it was trending on Twitter in less than three minutes.

After singing the song, the two siblings were still posing on the stage. All the guests in the audience stood up unknowingly and gave the two their most enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The warm-up session was successfully completed.

The two quickly left the stage, leaving the stage to the host.

Next, it’s time for the main event tonight, which is the exciting awards ceremony.

Unlike the comprehensive Oscars, there are many categories of Grammy awards, such as pop, rap, country, folk, rock, jazz, classical... etc. Different music genres are awarded.

Each music genre has several bests, and then there is the overall best of the year.

In addition, there are some special awards, such as production, children, reading, musicals, etc.

In short, there are many categories, so the awarding process seems to be much faster.

Like all award shows, the awards phase begins with inconsequential awards, such as best children's music album, best spoken word, best comedy, and the like.

Unless he heard about these awards in person, Luo Quan didn't even know that the Grammys would award these things.

This is much broader than the Oscars or anything like that.

Soon, her first grand prize came.

"The winner of this year's Grammy for Best Gospel Song is Luo Quan!" the host said the name of the winner that surprised many people.

Gospel song? I don’t remember Luo Quan singing any religious songs.

In fact, she has sung it, and the song is quite famous.

Last fall, Chanel released its new autumn and winter series, and she was asked to compose a promotional song specifically for these new clothes.

Because the designer added a lot of religious elements to the clothes, she also specially chose a gospel song "Wake".

To put it bluntly, this should be considered a song that combines pop electronic music with gospel. The music style is very exciting, but the lyrics are quite serious.

After it came out, it received quite a lot of clicks on YouTube, but because the song was so exciting, few people thought of it as a gospel song.

But in the eyes of the judges, this is indeed a gospel song.

Its essence cannot be denied just because of its popular elements.

Amid applause, Luo Quan walked onto the stage with a smile on his face and won the first trophy.

After seeing her figure, both the guests sitting in the audience and the audience watching the live broadcast knew that her big show was about to begin.

This award just blew her clarion call to sweep the Grammys.

Sure enough, after the side prizes were finished, Luo Quan basically participated in the remaining important awards.

As the most prolific singer with the highest level of production in the past two years, Luo Quan has dabbled in almost most mainstream music types, and each song has reached one of the best levels of this century. This was obtained by "The Rock" magazine What has been authenticated by the authority cannot be denied at all.

"The winner of the best folk song will be announced below...it is Luo Quan, the author of "Scarborough Fair"!"

This is an award without any suspense. The greatness of "Scarborough Fair" has been described on all major authoritative music websites. It is not an exaggeration to call it a world-famous song.

Next up is Best Classical Vocal.

"The winner of this award is A Time to Farewell!"

Needless to say, it is another world-famous song. In the West, especially Europe, this is one of Luo Quan's most influential songs.

Then, there is the best classical composition, and the winner is "Canon".

This is a divine song that completely sets Luo Quan apart from other pop singers. It is also a stepping stone for her to enter the classical music circle, and her reputation as an Oriental Mozart has been completely publicized.

In just a few minutes, Luo Quan had already won three awards in a row.

And her performance has only just begun.
