Chapter 252 The feeling of no return

Although Li Hyuk received four nominations, after winning the Best Newcomer Award, there is no need to count on subsequent awards.

Although the Grammys are the highest palace in the pop music industry, this award ceremony is still full of cake-sharing. Lee Hyuk's achievements from last year to the beginning of this year are so outstanding that it would be inappropriate not to give him an award.

But the Grammy officials are not willing to give other awards. Although the Best New Artist Award is very important, it is only for newcomers. If it is such a heavyweight award as Best Single of the Year or Best Rock Song of the Year, then it is

unacceptable.

So the Grammy weighed in and decided to create a double-yolked egg, which would not only honor Lee Hyuk's achievements last year, but also prevent Lee Hyuk from continuing to receive recognition from heavyweight awards.

The reason is also very simple. The English songs released by Li Hyuk are all singles and there is no complete English album. It is good to be awarded the best new artist.

No matter what, Li Hyuk can be regarded as a breakthrough for a Chinese musician or an Asian musician at the Grammy Awards.

At this moment, not only Chinese fans, but also Japanese and Korean fans were proud and happy for Lee Hyuk. In such a happy situation, the Korean media once again followed the tradition and changed the ancestral home for Lee Hyuk.

Chinese media and netizens are used to it. Every time Li Hyuk achieves such results, the Korean media will help Li Hyuk change his nationality.

People who didn't know the reason thought that Lee Hyuk had become Korean and attacked Lee Hyuk, but it turned out that it was an own mistake.

The awards ceremony continued, and the Best Single of the Year was won by "Despacito", a collaboration between Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber.

Both Li Hyuk and Alessia Cara were shortlisted for this award, but unfortunately they did not win.

The best rock song went to the Foo Fighters' "Run", and Lee Hyuk's "Yellow" lost out again.

The best collaborative singles include "Nothin' On You" by Lee Hyuk and BOB, and "We Don't Talk Anymore" by Lee Hyuk and Taylor Swift, both of which have reached the top singles.

song.

In the end, it lost to the single "Despacito", a collaboration between Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber.

The Grammy's idea of ​​sharing the cake is not unimportant. In order to compensate Taylor and BOB, they also gave two awards in the album of the year and best rapper.

After that, it was time for Li Hyuk and Taylor to perform. The two changed their performance clothes early, and Taylor wore a black short skirt, showing off her slender legs.

Li Hyuk had a simple look, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans and casual shoes, and appeared while playing the piano.

"We don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore

Like we used to do.”

The first part was Li Hyuk's solo, and Taylor was walking around on the stage, showing off her long legs and her good figure.

During the second verse of the verse, Taylor started to sing, walked to the piano and looked at Li Hyuk, his eyes were like water.

"I just hope you're lyin' next to somebody

Who knows how to love you like me

There must be a good reason that you're gone

Every now and then I think you

Might want me to show up at your door

But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong."

The interaction between the two on stage was great. Li He was playing the piano, but his eyes kept following Taylor's figure.

During the last melody, Taylor sat behind Lee Hyuk and put his head on Lee Hyuk's back, looking very intimate.

This performance was very good, at least when it ended, I received applause and cheers from the audience.

Li Hyuk and Taylor put their arms around each other, like a pair of good buddies, and bowed to complete the performance.

No need to think about it, naturally there are big players in China who will intercept this clip and circulate it in the country.

The only pity is that Li Hyuk did not get the opportunity to showcase Chinese songs at the American Music Awards. This is also a pity for Chinese fans.

But no matter what, this Grammy trip can't be considered a failure. After all, I got a Best New Artist trophy.

When the Grammys ended, it happened to be noon in China, and reports from major media outlets were sent out in the afternoon. The previous ones were just short messages, but this time it was hard-core reports.

At the same time, a Chinese reporter who rushed to the United States approached Li He for an interview: "How do you feel about winning the Best Newcomer this time?"

I originally thought that Li Hyuk would express his excitement, happiness, etc., but who would have thought that Li Hyuk would not act according to common sense.

"I miss home." Li He smiled.

"Ah?" The reporter was stunned.

Li He continued: "I don't feel at home, but I feel like home is good outside. I miss my mother's braised pork, grandma's pork dumplings, our little toffee, and Di Xiaopang."

"Then you have no expression at all about winning the award?" the reporter asked.

Li Hyuk said indifferently: "It's just the Best Newcomer Award, there's nothing much to say."

The reporter looked confused and didn't know how to write a report. So he thought about it, added more details, and wrote an acceptance speech that said Li He was very happy to win the award, but also missed home and the food in his hometown.

Not to mention, the effect is good. Returning home is a unique plot for Chinese people. What wanderers miss most is their mother’s craftsmanship.

Therefore, this interview with Li Hyuk was actually well received by netizens. Fortunately, it was a written report. If it were a video, I don’t know how the reporter would have responded.

Li Hyuk can't feel the popularity in China for the time being. Next, he will go to Los Angeles to meet with Avril Lavigne to complete the recording of the collaborative single.

Avril Lavigne's sixth studio album is named "Head Above Water" and is also the title song of the album. This song tells the story of Avril Lavigne's mental journey in the past few years, overcoming illness and rising from the ashes.

At the same time, after a selection of songs for the entire album, the album's producers were Avril Lavigne, Stephen Mossio, John Carlson, Jon Levine, J. R. Rotem, Mickey Alan and Li He. Standard

This version contains 15 songs.

Three of the songs are written and composed by Lee Hyuk, two punk rock songs "Basket Case" and "21 Guns", and one choral pop song "Just Give Me a Reason".

Li Hyuk is naturally the co-singer of the chorus. He just won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and is currently in the spotlight.

"Jay, the more I sing these two punk rock songs, the more I like them. They feel like they have become pop rock songs." After recording a song, Avril said to Li He.

"I used all my skills to tailor this for you. Just like it." Li He was very happy that Avril Lavigne was satisfied with it.

"By the way, the single we collaborated on is a bit difficult, especially the treble part. Your key is actually higher than mine. Can you do it?" Avril asked.

"No problem, I'm the little prince of high notes, so I can handle this level easily." Li He patted his chest.

"Well, I have listened to your songs, and there are many high-pitched songs, especially your Chinese songs." Avril felt relieved.

In fact, younger fans don't know that when Avril Lavigne endorsed iced tea, she also sang a Chinese version of the song, and the lyrics impressed Li Hyuk deeply.

It was the song "Girlfriend". After this song topped the Billboard charts, it was said that the record company tied Avril Lavigne to record versions in various languages.

Of course, the rumors cannot be taken seriously, but the English version is very fun and a very punk rock song, but it was changed to the Chinese version.

Sorry, this version is a bit ridiculous.

Excuse me, it is very common to insert English lyrics into Chinese, but why is it so weird to insert Chinese lyrics into English lyrics?

Anyway, after Li Hyuk listened to it, he didn't dare to listen to the song "Girlfriend" for a long time, because he was afraid that he would not be able to go back.
