Xiao Yunhai returned to the manor and took a bath to his heart's content.
He went to the bedroom, turned on the computer, and found that the web page was full of the Oscars and Grammys.
The Grammys were originally held in February every year, but for some reason, it was scheduled to be held on April 16 this year, less than a week away from the Oscars.
Xiao Yunhai didn't even look at the Oscars. Anyway, his movie hadn't been submitted, so the award ceremony had nothing to do with him. But his album was submitted for the Grammys by the original recording company. It was said that the Grammys organizing committee personally called Vincent and asked him to do so.
After all, the Grammys were the most influential music festival in the world. If Xiao Yunhai, who had broken almost all records with an album, didn't attend, it would be too unreasonable.
It couldn't be helped, Xiao Yunhai was really too awesome last year. His album swept the world's pop music industry and sold 130 million copies. 2012 was popular in the world's film industry and sold 22 billion US dollars.
Because 2012 was not involved in the Oscar selection, it was ridiculed by countless fans and lost the prestige of the Oscars. The Grammys didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Oscars.
Especially now that the Hua Xia Jinzun International Music Festival was so successful that it directly threatened the status of the Grammys. Naturally, they had to be more careful.
This time, Xiao Yunhai was nominated for five awards: Best Rock Song, Best Arrangement, Best Male Pop Singer, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. Among them, several songs were nominated for Best Rock Song, Best Arrangement, and Best Song. It could be said that he stood out. As long as there were no accidents, the five awards would definitely belong to him.
Not to mention the industry insiders, even the fans were very clear about this.
"This year's Grammys were specially prepared for Kungfu Xiao, right? It's amazing that he was nominated for five awards. "
"What's so amazing about that? If you ask me, Xiao should be the Best Newcomer. "
"That's right. Although Xiao has been an international superstar for a long time, his English album is the first. To be honest, he should be the Best Newcomer. "
"Brothers, can you not be so stingy? Xiao is the King of Music, okay? It would be too much of a bully to compete with those new singers for the Best Newcomer Award. Can't you see that even Xiao doesn't care? "
"These five prizes will definitely be Xiao's. There's no doubt about it."
"Yes. If one of the awards is not given to Xiao, then we can basically conclude that there is something fishy going on. "
"I hope the Grammys don't learn from the Oscars. The Oscars are so awkward right now."
"It's their fault for not knowing how to correct it. Even after such a huge incident, the committee still hasn't made any changes. They're simply courting death. "
"Sigh, the Oscars have completely fallen, but Hua Xia's Jingou International Film Festival has successfully replaced it. Hopefully, the Grammys won't end up like the Oscars. "
On Xiao Yunhai's homepage, there were countless comments left by his fans. Most of them congratulated him for being nominated. Of course, there were also some fans of other singers who attacked him, but such fans were almost negligible.
Just as Xiao Yunhai was browsing online, Xiao Yunhai's phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was a call from Vincent.
"Hey, Boss, do you have any instructions?" Xiao Yunhai joked.
"Can you not make fun of me? You're already the richest man in the world. How would I dare to be your boss? Xiao, congratulations on winning five Grammy awards. "
"Thank you. However, to be honest, even if you give me all the Grammys, I won't be too excited. "
"That's true. With your current fame and status, these awards are really useless to you. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and asked, "Vincent, tell me, what's the matter?"
Vincent said, "Tonight, the Grammy organizing committee called me. They hope that you can be a guest performer at the Grammy Awards. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and refused without thinking. "Forget it, I'm not going to perform."
To Xiao Yunhai's surprise, Vincent didn't say anything after hearing his words. Instead, he asked another question. "Xiao, I heard that your wife, Ms. Zhao, is going to release an English album, right?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You're quite well-informed. That's right, I've prepared ten songs for her, and the overall quality is not inferior to my album. When I came, she was almost done in our recording studio. I'm going to let her hit the charts in the near future and follow my old path. It would be best if she can reach or surpass my record. "
Vincent smiled and said, "Xiao, with all due respect, although your wife has also filmed several movies, her fame in Europe and America is not big. She's not even as famous as a second-tier singer. If she doesn't do some sensational publicity, no matter how good the songs are, she won't be able to achieve what you did last year. Xiao, why don't you let me release Ms. Zhao's English album? I promise to make her a hit and become the top singer in Europe and America. You should believe that our original record company has the ability to do so. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "So that's what you've been talking about. Unfortunately, I'll have to disappoint you. My wife is not a free person. Her Hua Xia's Tianzhai Records doesn't seem to intend to hand it over to others. Some time ago, their boss even came to my house in person and told us that all the scripts had been written according to the content of the songs. And they also invited the best MV director in Europe and America, Todd Lytton, to shoot it himself, so I'm sorry. "
Vincent said with annoyance, "That's a pity. However, I doubt that Tianzhai Records can do well in Europe and America. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You may have forgotten my Marvel TV station. We'll be ready to premiere the day after tomorrow. As long as the quality of the songs is good, there will be no problem in publicity with our Marvel TV station. "
Vincent smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao, you're really amazing now. But I still suggest you attend the Grammy Awards. After all, it's the most famous music ceremony in Europe and America. If your Marvel TV station can get its copyright, it will definitely be a good thing for you. If the organizing committee agrees that Miss Zhao can also perform on stage, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial for the promotion of her album. Don't you think so? "
It had to be said that Vincent's words were very attractive.
Last year, the ratings of the Grammy Awards reached 26%, and tens of millions of videos were downloaded. Such a huge public base really made Xiao Yunhai salivate.
However, he also knew very well that it was very difficult to get the copyright of the Grammy Awards, but it should not be a problem to let Zhao Wanqing perform a song on stage.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Vincent, you're really a negotiation master. After going around in circles, you actually came back to this matter. You're amazing. "
Vincent smiled and said, "You're flattering me. Xiao, I heard that too many people in charge of TV stations went to the Grammy organizing committee to buy the copyright of the awards ceremony, causing the chairman of the Grammy Awards, Cliff Adolf, to have a headache. As a result, the copyright has not been sold yet. There's no other way. He can't offend anyone, so he can only let the major TV stations participate in the auction. Whoever offers the highest price can get the copyright of the Grammy Awards ceremony. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "My Marvel TV station only covers North America now. The broadcast in Europe has not been settled yet."
Vincent said, "It doesn't matter. Because the Grammy Awards were divided into two parts by Mr. Adolf. One part is North America, and the other part is Europe. In this way, the Grammy organizing committee will definitely make more money. Haha, they're not stupid. "
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up and said, "This gives me a chance. Vincent, when will the auction be held? "
Vincent said, "It's tomorrow night at the Royal Hotel. If you want to get involved, you'd better contact Cliff Adolf as soon as possible. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Vincent, can you help me ask Mr. Adolf out before noon tomorrow?"
Vincent smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. You're the richest man in the world and also the music king. No matter how busy Mr. Adolf is, he will give you face. "
After the two of them chatted for a while, Xiao Yunhai hung up the phone.
