Chapter 175 Spread around the world
A backstage staff member of a Chinese music television station in Malaysia said: "The ratings have hit a record. It seems that broadcasting the Grammys this year is the right thing to do."

The station manager said, "Haha, everyone is here to see Luo Ji. He is the pride of Chinese people all over the world. It is not easy for him to reach this point."

"Yeah, Luo Ji's song "Long Live Life" won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year." A staff member backstage said loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese people on the TV station all cheered. Although several Malays and Indians on the TV station were indifferent to this, they went with the flow and cheered along with everyone.

The TV host explained: "Now, Luo Ji has won three Grammys, Best Single of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Collaboration and Best Pop Vocal Album."

"Grammy's Luo Ji is now giving an acceptance speech. He said that here he would like to thank his father David Luo who has passed away. When he was a child, his father always forced him to learn violin and piano. He was always very repulsive when he was a child and always wanted to He went out to play, but he didn’t quite understand his father’s tiger dad behavior. Now he understands that it is precisely because of the original training that he can now stand on the world’s top music stage at the Grammys. Father, thank you for everything you have given to me. , I know you must be proud of me now, and I hope you can hear my words in heaven."

The host of the Grammys said: "The next performers on stage are Lang Lang and jazz master Herbie Hancock, who won the Album of the Year Award. They will be on stage together to perform Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody" and Excerpts from George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.”

At the same time, a Chinese family in Malaysia was watching the Grammys on TV.

The 15-year-old daughter looked at Luo Ji leaving the stage in front of the TV and said, "He is so handsome!"

"Why is he so handsome? Do you only see him as handsome?"

The mother continued to her daughter: "Didn't you hear what he said? I said, it's right to send you to piano lessons. Look at Luo Ji and this Lang Lang. They were all musical instruments learned when they were young. Otherwise, how could we achieve today’s musical achievements?”

After hearing this, my daughter did not retort as usual, but said seriously: "I will study it. Music is so charming."

In Singapore, there is only a Chinese family of three and a Filipino maid living in a large villa. With the development of the economy, people nowadays are becoming less and less willing to have children.

The Grammy Awards ceremony in the United States is being broadcast on television.

The Grammy host introduced: "The person on stage at this time is the famous American child star Miley Cyrus, who starred in the sitcom "Hannah Montana." The other one is Paul, a member of the Beatles. McCartney, they won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1965."

The host of the Singapore TV broadcast said: "I feel that Luo Ji has a high chance of winning this award. Because the Grammy award presenters are very particular. Luo Ji said in front of the media more than once that the Beatles are his idol, and his musical style was also deeply influenced by the Beatles.”

The Grammy host said: "The Grammy nominees for Best New Artist include Taylor Swift, Logic, Amy Winehouse, Feist, and Paramore Rock Band."

Miley Cyrus opens the envelope on TV and hands it to Paul McCartney with a smile.McCartney smiled and said, "It's Logic, congratulations!"

The TV camera immediately cut to Luo Ji's face. He smiled happily and then hugged the people around him intimately.

"Those two middle-aged white women, one is Luo Ji's mother, and the other is Luo Ji's mother-in-law, right?" the hostess of the villa said.

"Yes."

The youngest daughter continued: "I didn't like Luo Ji's girlfriend Taylor Swift in the past. Their looks are not worthy of each other. But after watching their performance today, I completely fell in love with this couple."

At this time, Luo Ji on TV had already walked onto the stage. He first hugged Miley Cyrus gently, and then hugged Paul McCartney fiercely for five seconds before leaving. Get in front of the microphone.

"Today is like hugging the idol himself."

The audience immediately burst into laughter, and Paul McCartney also smiled. This old white man felt very good at the moment.

"And, of course, Hannah Montana herself."

There was another burst of laughter from the audience.

Luo Ji then said seriously: "The Beatles are my idols, as well as the idols of my father and mother. When I was a child, I often listened to their songs at home. After listening to them for more than ten years, I still don't get tired of them. Every time I listen to them, I get excited. It has a different feeling. This is a classic, and it still sounds beautiful after the baptism of time. My music style is also deeply influenced by them. Today, like the Beatles, I also won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. I will continue to work hard and hope that one day I can create songs that can withstand the baptism of time. Thank you all."

After Luo Ji on the TV finished speaking, he walked off the stage with the two award-presenting guests.

At the same time, people in English-speaking countries also saw this scene, especially British audiences, and couldn't help but feel more favorable to Logic.

Huaguo, NetEase music broadcast channel, there are various comments from various IDs below.

Sister Furong: "I'm a girl. I took a logic class some time ago and I felt very good."

Yan Tieyou: "I'm a girl, and I've also taken a logic class."

Happiness and I are not accustomed to each other: "I am a man, and I have also taken logic classes."

The Best Rap Collaboration Award has just been awarded, and the winner is Rihanna's "Umbrella." At this moment, everyone is chatting and spanking, and the comments below are full of joy.

After crying, "The result of Album of the Year is out? Did Logic win? I'm stuck here."

Angel's Hickey: "When it came out, the winner was Herbie Hancock's "River: The Joni Letters," which was a bit unexpected. I thought it would be Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black." Or Luo Ji’s “16.”

Damn my little life: "It's not fair. Luo Ji's "16" sold so well, but it didn't win any awards. It's a shady story, it's definitely a shady story."

Shanghai Li Zhongke: "This award is to reward producers. Logic's album "16" itself has a low production level! What are you saying here? Do you think that awards like domestic awards are all shady!"

Looking around blankly: "Yes, yes, damn little life, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Damn little days: "..."

Baodao, a music forum, everyone is discussing the Grammy. It has come to an end, and the last award is being awarded, the best production of the year.

Unable to calm down: "It's over. Luo Ji has no hope of winning the last award. The one who presented the award was Tony Bennett, who is a leading figure in jazz. Logic, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake , Amy Winehouse. Of the five nominees, only Amy Winehouse’s album was jazz.”

Losing to Likes: "It's hard to get over it. Just as you expected, the award-winning Amy Winehouse won the final Best Production of the Year. You know Omi Music very well!"

Falling into warmth: "It's already pretty good. Luo Ji won four out of six nominations and won four Grammys. He has already made history."

Los Angeles, Universal Music’s celebration party.Luo Ji and Taylor were smiling, and there was an endless stream of people at the party who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

Universal Music President Doug Morris walked over with a smile, and the people surrounding Luo Ji and Taylor immediately left in a smart manner, leaving room for the two to chat.

"Hi Logic, Taylor, congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Luo Ji and Taylor replied in unison.

Doug Morris smiled and said: "Logic, do you have any plans to release an album this year? Universal Music can spend 300 million in promotional expenses this time, and you can also get 300 million. 600 million will definitely make your new album more popular." Go up a floor.”

Luo Ji said, "Not yet. My "16" is currently selling better than many singers' albums. Releasing albums too frequently will have an impact on "16"."

Doug Morris didn't show any anger and said with a smile: "That's okay, but with the Grammy news coming out, your album sales should pick up, so during this period, I'll arrange a few autograph sessions for you. How about increasing album sales?”

"Okay, anyway, I don't have anything important to do during this period except for movie scores!" Luo Ji continued: "But when it comes to movie scores, although I won't release an album, I plan to release a movie soundtrack." Doug· Morris asked doubtfully: "Original soundtrack?"

"That's my movie Twilight."

"How are you going to make it?"

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Let's make a mixed album. The title song is "Perfect" that I wrote for Taylor. Other singers in the company will produce about four songs, and Taylor will also produce two songs. I plan to cover a few other songs. A classic song from the last century.”

"what do you mean?"

Luo Ji said, "I can't figure out the copyright of some classic songs. I hope you can help me."

"Which ones?"

"Elvis Presley's 'Can't Help Falling in Love' and Heidi West's 'Five Hundred Miles.'"

"Then your movie soundtrack will be country songs, soft rock and folk songs!"

Luo Ji said, "Well, this is the director's request, which is the kind of romantic, elegant, and slightly sad song. There are relatively few songs that I have written that are suitable, so I thought I might as well cover classic songs."

Doug Morris thought for a while: "Heidi West's song is easier to handle and has been covered many times, but Elvis Presley's song is difficult to handle! We need to go to Sony."

Taylor started to help, and said with a smile: "Mr. Morris, you are a big shot, Sony will definitely sell you this face."

Doug Morris was very helpful: "Hahaha, then I'll ask Logic."

Luo Ji said, "Thank you very much. I will cooperate here."

Doug Morris then looked at Taylor, smiled and said, "Taylor, do you have any plans to release an album this year?"

"Yes, I hope you can provide more publicity funds when the time comes."

Luo Ji added, "I have heard the song "Love Story" written by Taylor. It is a great song and will definitely be a hit!"

"Really?"

Luo Ji looked Doug Morris directly in the eyes and said seriously: "I never brag! Taylor is definitely a talented creator, just like me!"

Doug Morris said: "As long as the quality of the songs is high, there is absolutely no problem with promotional funds."

Taylor then said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Morris."

The three of them chatted for a while and then parted ways.

Taylor turned to Luo Ji and said, "He's the president of Universal Music. He seems to have a very good attitude towards you?"

"Can it be bad? I am now a cash cow for Universal Music! Last year, my album sales, single sales, mobile ringtones and MV playback income brought them nearly 5000 million meters in income. Who can make me such a It’s a lot of money, and I’m super nice to them.”

Taylor praised: "You are a super genius."

"That's not true!" Luo Ji said sternly.

Taylor said, "Then write a song for me too. You've already written a song for Lady Gaga."

Luo Ji immediately responded: "We'll talk about it later when we have some inspiration."

"You..." Taylor slapped Luo Ji angrily.

Luo Ji was still thinking about how to escape when he saw Miley Cyrus walking over with a smile.

"Logic, Taylor, good evening!"

Luo Ji immediately got relieved and hurriedly walked up: "You performed very well when you presented the award today! You don't have stage fright at all."

Miley Cyrus laughed and said: "Hahaha, I've practiced it all."

Miley's smile looks exaggerated, just like the one she plays in the "Hannah Montana" sitcom, and it affects reality.

Taylor also said: "Why are you here now?"

Taylor and Miley have known each other for a long time. They met at a country music awards ceremony and became good friends during the period.It was Taylor who invited her to come to Universal Music's celebration party tonight.

Miley Cyrus said depressedly: "I just walked away from a party at Disney and there were all these sycophants."

Despite their young age, Disney's group of child stars are very competitive.Luo Ji had his own company, and Taylor was Big Machine Records' only cash cow, so he basically didn't have these worries.

Taylor said: "Who is it?"

"It's just the ones who were in the same period as me. I won't talk about them anymore. They're so annoying." Miley continued: "Taylor, I have good news for you."

"What good news?"

"The movie "Hannah Montana" will be filmed in a while. There is a role of a country singer in it. I recommended you to the director. You can come and audition when the time comes."

"Okay!" Taylor immediately jumped up excitedly, then she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Luo Ji awkwardly.

Luo Ji immediately raised his forehead. As expected, Taylor had been attracted to him since the first time she met him. She also lied to Luo Ji and said she didn't like "Hannah Montana", which was obviously a sign that she liked him very much.

Scheming girl!
Luo Ji whispered in her ear: "I'll take care of you when I go back tonight!"

Taylor's face turned red when he heard this.

Miley protested loudly: "What are you whispering about? Take me with you too."

Luo Ji looked at Miley, touched his chin and thought seriously, then looked at Taylor seriously with a questioning look.

Taylor immediately glared at Luo Ji, then smiled and said to Miley, "He said he would help me write a song for my album."
