Chapter 1241 The lingering lingering charm
Boom, boom boom boom!
Seeing that calm had returned to the Staples Center and the ceremony was finally ready to continue, an incredible energy swept over them.
In the air, there was a slight vibration, which was not obvious, but you could still feel the vague agitation, and then burned wave after wave.
Anson: What happened? Could it be an earthquake?
The members who were getting ready to change in the locker room all looked at each other and asked each other, but they were all at a loss. No one understood the situation in front of them.
Higgins also looked confused. What is going on? Never experienced this before!
Anson turned to look at Higgins, "If an earthquake occurs during the awards ceremony, how does the official manual deal with it?"
Higgins, "Huh?"
Official manual? What official manual?
Anson, "When encountering natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, etc., the organizers of the awards ceremony should have a plan to evacuate the crowd, right?"
Higgins:...
He never knew that there was an official manual for disasters at the award ceremony. What kind of circuitry was in Anson's brain?
Anson knew the answer when he saw the astonishment on Higgins's face, "Lily, Lily! I don't think you should change your clothes yet. We may need to evacuate."
For evening wear, Lily chooses a long skirt; for performance attire, Lily chooses a suit of the same color as Anson, which makes it easier to get on and off the stage.
And now, with the show over, Lily is switching back to evening gown mode.
Lily stood on tiptoes and poked her head out from behind the compartment, "Evacuate, what evacuation?"
Then.
Higgins finally got the answer from the staff's intercom channel, "It should be a delay in the live broadcast, and the audience is only seeing your performance now."
Everyone exchanged glances and suddenly realized, "Oh."
In the intercom channel, although Higgins did not see the live broadcast director's expression with his own eyes, his pride and excitement could be felt in his voice.
Tonight, it was thanks to the director's decisiveness that he made his judgment in the blink of an eye. Not only did he work with the August 31st band to complete such a performance, but he also allowed the August 31st band to adjust on the spot and seize the opportunity. An inspiration that ended up in a scene that went down in Grammy history.
Later, someone asked the director how Anson persuaded him?
The director said, "He's very convincing. You know, he's Anson Wood?"
So, what’s the truth?
In fact, Anson said at the time that if the director refused, then he would refuse to perform on stage.
It's more of a threat than a persuasion. The director knew that Anson was absent from the Oscars, and he didn’t even care about the Oscars, let alone the Grammys?
But the director did not tell the truth. He thought his defense was correct, "He made a proposal that I couldn't refuse."
Indeed, he couldn't say no, right? How could an ordinary worker refuse?
The truth was buried like this, but the director still took half of the credit. This became an achievement that he later talked about, adding luster to his resume.
People who really experience that night know that the so -called grand occasion is by no means a fiction.
There was indeed a "live broadcast accident" at the 46th Grammy Awards, but this time it was not an accident, but a surprise——
Due to the delay of the live broadcast, there was a time lag between the band's performance at the Staples Center and other areas on August 31, which ultimately resulted in a reaction time lag.
One wave after another, one wave after another.
This scene is absolutely spectacular. This was the first time guests at the Staples Center had the opportunity to witness the audience's reaction in real time and truly feel the impact of the August 31st band.
Vast and endless.
Although the awards ceremony is still going on, it can be determined now that the August 31st band will undoubtedly be the biggest topic tonight.
However, a topic is a topic and an award is an award. These are two different things.
On the topic level, the August 31st Band opened the second half of the show and conquered the stage with their strength, liveness, and wonderful performance.
Beyoncé, who originally shined in the first half, was immediately snatched away from the spotlight. Everyone was talking about the band August 31st, completely forgetting that Beyoncé once won a round of applause for her energetic singing and dancing at the opening of the award ceremony. It's not even over yet, the topic has already changed.
However, in terms of awards, Beyoncé is undoubtedly the big winner, taking the lead with an overwhelming attitude.
Best Female R&B Vocalist, Best R&B Vocal/Group, Best R&B Song, Best Contemporary R&B Album, and Best Rap Vocal/Group.
With a total of five gramophone trophies, Beyoncé dominated tonight's award ceremony with a sweep, sharing the main award in the rhythm and blues department with Luther Vandross, and gained both fame and fortune in her first solo career after leaving the right girl. ——
Champion single; Grammy trophy; album sales; pop index.
Everything you need.
Perhaps the only slight regret is the album sales. The album "Dangerous Love" "only" sold 2.5 million copies, ranking seventh on the year-end charts.
For ordinary singers, this is a perfect answer, especially for new singers; but Beyoncé’s album has received too much brilliance and success, so this sales performance is slightly insufficient.
That's nitpicking, though, and apparently no one will think Beyoncé is "regretful" after tonight's Grammys.
Besides Beyoncé, another focus tonight is Justin Timberlake.
Just like Beyoncé, Justin has just left the super boy group and his first solo album has also been a huge success.
Tonight, Justin received two Grammy trophies for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance and Best Pop Album, which is a huge deal.
However, is this really good?
In the "Super Bowl Incident", the innocent Janet Jackson was banned. The instigator, Justin Timberlake, not only did not suffer any punishment, but attended tonight's award ceremony with dignity, he also took away two gramophone trophies, standing under the spotlight and pretending to be the victim with a smile. who.
It is now foreseeable that after the awards ceremony, this year's Grammys will be plunged into a whirlpool of controversy.
Here again, thanks to Anson.
The band's opening performance of the second half on August 31st was so exciting and beautiful that it stole all the focus and topics with its overwhelming attitude. Even Beyoncé shrank away, as did Justin. The controversy surrounding Justin's award in the first half was temporary. Get relief and take a breather.
In the second half, the bustling discussion was all focused on the August 31st band, so much attention was paid to other awards.
The awards ceremony continued, but the afterglow could be felt inside and outside the Staples Center. When the attention returned to the stage, it inadvertently recalled the band's performance on August 31st and couldn't help but sigh. , the whole scene was never able to get over the aftertaste, so that the award ceremony was slightly absent-minded.
It was not until August 31 that the band's image appeared on the big screen again. In an instant, all the scattered attention of the audience was captured by the big screen image——
Nominated for Newcomer of the Year.
