Chapter 475 474. Is being nominated a gift? I won’t go without a big award. (Subscribe)
A rare leisure time.
In fact, Wang Qian doesn't have much free time.
Things at work keep coming.
Just after the live broadcast of the appointment, the Oscars and Grammys program teams sent invitations again and made their promises! Qin Xuerong's eyes flashed with surprise and seriousness, and he handed the phone to Wang Qian to take a look.
Wang Qian looked carefully at a few lines of simple English words.
The meaning is actually very simple! The organizing committees of the two major evening parties made promises to Wang Qian at the same time!
This was actually the first time Wang Qian had seen such a promise.
The Oscars said: If Wang Qian accepts the invitation, then as long as Wang Qian's music works can appear in film works in the future, Wang Qian will at least be given a nomination. If he is lucky, he will also be given an award such as the Oscar for Best Original Score.
The Grammys directly stated: If Wang Qian appears on the Grammy stage, the organizing committee will give Wang Qian at least three nominations, including Best New Artist, Best Classical New Artist, and Best Rock New Artist, but it is not certain whether he can win the awards.
However, Grammy implicitly said: If Wang Qian can attend the Grammy performance every year, he will definitely win a big prize in the future! The big prizes among these world-class awards must be the main awards such as Best Singer of the Year, Best Album of the Year, and Best Single.
Just like the main awards in the Oscars are Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Picture! Ordinary people rarely pay attention to other awards.
If you ask passers-by on the street who won the Oscar for Best Original Score last year, I'm afraid only one person out of a thousand will know.
However, if you ask who the best actor and actress are, you probably only need to ask ten people and one or two will know.
Wang Qian looked carefully at the information of the two organizing committees.
Qin Xuerong whispered, "So far, no Chinese has ever won any award at the Oscars or Grammys, or even been nominated. Only one music master from an island country won the Oscar for Best Original Score ten years ago... As for the Grammys, no one in Asia has ever been nominated for any."
"If you can get nominated for these two awards, it will be very beneficial to your development. It will also be regarded as creating history for Chinese and Asian singers, and it may elevate your historical status."
Any breakthrough from zero will definitely go down in history.
Wang Qian thought about it for a while, then shook his head gently and said softly: "Refuse it!"
Qin Xuerong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why? Their remuneration is very sincere. 20 million for a performance is definitely the highest price they can offer. And they also promised to give award nominations, which has never happened before. We can go back later and it won't affect anything. Or we can go back first and rehearse when the performance is about to start..."
Wang Qian returned the phone to Qin Xuerong and continued to lie on the sofa, scrolling through his phone. He smiled and said, "If I want to be nominated, what else do I have to pay for? Then, what's the point of this so-called nomination? Besides, if I don't win the award, what's the point of being nominated for me?"
"If I can't win the award, then the only meaning of nominating me is that they want to use this award to make others beat me, to undermine my fame and status."
Wang Qian saw it very clearly.
The Grammys and the Oscars are the two world-class awards in the entertainment industry. Together with the Emmy Awards in North America, North America has encompassed the most influential awards in the three major fields of film, television and music in the world entertainment industry.
However, although these three awards are said to be world-class, they are actually extremely exclusive.
Not to mention Asians, even for celebrities in the European entertainment industry, it is extremely difficult to win these three major awards. They have to keep flattering the judges of the three major awards and the people of North America to have a chance of winning, and that is just a possibility.
Now the Oscars and Grammys have invited Wang Qian so humbly, the only purpose is profit, they want to harvest the traffic and attention from Wang Qian.
There is no loss for them at all in paying for one or two nominations, it just means the compensation is beyond their previous budget.
However, compared with the ratings that Wang Qian's performance can bring, the salary of 20 or 20 million US dollars is almost negligible.
and!
The Oscars just said that they would nominate Wang Qian for Best Original Score only when a movie uses his work. Who can predict what will happen in the future? The Grammys are even more interesting.
It just said nomination, but it said that you may not win the award!
So……
Would the winners nominated at the same time as Wang Qian be considered to have defeated Wang Qian head-on? Wang Qian believed that many European and American entertainment media and regular media would probably publicize it in this way.
Wang Qian was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, but he didn't win in the end. Does that mean Wang Qian is not the best newcomer and lost to the real best newcomer? Many European and American people will definitely be affected by this kind of public opinion, and their evaluation of Wang Qian will drop a level.
So what if you sell more? So what if you set countless records?
You lost in the award! How much benefit will the winner get by defeating Wang Qian, who has set many historical records?
Moreover, many people in the country may also be affected.
Many people in China also have this kind of worshipful thinking, believing that the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys and other highly influential awards in North America represent the highest achievements in the three major fields of film, television and music in the entertainment industry. They also believe that these three world-class awards are very fair and just, and the most professional. Those who win are strong, and those who lose are weak.
Qin Xuerong listened to Wang Qian's words and gradually thought of these things in his heart. A trace of self-blame flashed in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. Then I will reject them now."
Wang Qian nodded and said indifferently, "Well, don't be polite to refuse. Unless you give me the Best Singer and Best Work of the Year awards directly, don't invite me. I'm not interested in being someone else's foil. As for the Oscars, it's impossible for me to be nominated. So unless you pay me $100 million and the copyright of the performance belongs to me and has nothing to do with them, don't invite me."
Qin Xuerong smiled slightly and said, "They will never agree to these two conditions!"
Wang Qian shrugged: "Then there's no way we can cooperate."
Qin Xuerong immediately sent Wang Qian’s words to the two major program organizing committees.
…
Los Angeles.
In an office.
Several important leaders of the Grammy Awards Organizing Committee are meeting together.
The invitation just sent to Wang Qian was the result of a discussion among them.
Such an important decision requires the unanimous agreement of several people to be passed.
after all……
Even if a nomination is given, it is done behind closed doors. If they don't discuss it in advance and make all preparations, it will easily be exposed, which will deal a serious blow to the authority of the Grammys.
"I think he will be so excited. No Chinese singer has ever been nominated for any Grammy Awards. Giving him three nominations at once is enough for him to make history in China."
A middle-aged man in a suit said calmly, with a somewhat arrogant look on his face: "Twenty million dollars is too much. I suggest five million dollars is enough. The highest reward we have offered before is only two million dollars. Giving him five million dollars is a great gift."
A middle-aged woman frowned slightly, looked at her phone, and said, "No reply yet. Twenty million dollars can show our sincerity. As for the three nominations, I don't think he should have any reason to refuse. This is a chance for Chinese singers to break history."
The old man in the middle said calmly: "Since Wang Qian has been nominated for the Best Newcomer, then Sophie, Adam, Green and other newcomers of the same period should also be nominated. When the time comes, the award will be given to Adam..."
The old man's eyes were full of brilliance.
The other people in the meeting room listened, thought about it, and nodded.
Indeed.
They all admit that Wang Qian's works are undoubtedly excellent and will become classics of the era in time.
But, so what? It still depends on their faces.
In the end, didn’t he still lose to Adam from North America in the competition for Best Newcomer?
By then, they will be looking for media to publicize and build momentum for Adam.
It is possible that Adam will come from behind and it is not impossible that his popularity and popularity will surpass Wang Qian.
Because Wang Qian is now at a very high level, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the highest level in history. So whoever can defeat Wang Qian will likely harvest most of Wang Qian's popularity and traffic.
As the beneficiary, they chose Adam.
Sophie?
That's French, not North American.
Several people immediately discussed the details.
Buzz buzz buzz...
At this moment, the middle-aged woman's phone vibrated. She saw that it was a message from Qin Xuerong and said hurriedly, "I've sent a reply."
Everyone looked at the middle-aged woman with great concern.
Although, they think they can manipulate Wang Qian at will, they even think they can manipulate any musician at will.
However, they were also very nervous because Wang Qian was a super popular singer who could bring them huge profits.
They couldn't help but get excited when they thought that Wang Qian would join the Grammy stage and that their income this year might exceed that of any previous year.
The old man in the middle said, "Let the legal department draft a contract. If it's finalized soon, we can use his name for publicity right away. Please note that the nomination we promised should not appear in any public information..."
Several people nodded to show that they understood.
However, the middle-aged woman who was looking down at the message on her phone suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said in a heavy tone: "Everyone, he refused."
The others were already thinking about how to get the most benefit from Wang Qian, when they suddenly heard the woman say that Wang Qian still refused.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Several people were stunned and looked at the middle-aged woman with some disbelief.
There are actually Asians who rejected their Grammy nominations?
And they are Chinese who worship Oscars and Grammys? They know that a famous Chinese director has shot five films in the past 20 years in order to win an Oscar. Each film is more tacky than the last, constantly exposing the ignorance and poverty of the Chinese people. As a result, he won the European Golden Tree Award, but still failed to get an Oscar nomination. It is said that the director is planning a new film, which is said to expose the dark side of the bottom of Chinese society in a deeper level...
Many Chinese musicians also dream of winning a Grammy.
In their opinion, if they promised Wang Qian three nominations, Wang Qian would definitely agree immediately...
They even regretted paying too high a reward. Perhaps if they had given Wang Qian $10,000, Wang Qian would have happily agreed...
However, Wang Qian's reply was still a rejection! The few of them were silent for more than ten seconds.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Why did he say that? Did he put forward any conditions?"
The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Several people frowned when they saw this, and the middle-aged man said, "Tell us, let's see what he wants!"
The middle-aged woman said awkwardly, "He said that he would not come unless he was given the Best Singer of the Year and Best Single of the Year awards. He was talking about winning, not being nominated!"
Hiss! The meeting room fell silent again.
Several people looked at each other.
The old man in the middle asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure he said that? He wants the Best Singer of the Year and Best Single of the Year awards? Not the Best Newcomer of the Year? Best Rock?"
Everyone looked at the middle-aged woman.
They are all powerful figures who have worked in the Grammy Awards Organizing Committee for many years, and it is no exaggeration to say that they can influence the outcome of the awards.
Therefore, they are more aware of the significance of the two awards that Wang Qian requested.
Even they don't dare to manipulate these two awards and can only influence them slightly from the side.
These two awards are one of the core reasons why they attract the attention of the entire European, American and even world pop music field.
If even these two most prestigious awards lose their authority, then the reputation of the Grammys will suffer a devastating blow! The middle-aged woman operated her phone and projected the screen onto the wall: "See for yourself!"
Everyone could clearly see what Wang Qian wanted.
"Ignorant Chinese, does he know the significance of Best Singer and Best Single of the Year? How dare he ask for these two awards?"
"Ignorance is fearless. Let him go."
"I propose that we at the Grammys permanently ban Wang Qian and never let him appear in any of our Grammy nominations. He doesn't deserve it."
"He just debuted, and we gave him three nominations, which is already a great blessing. He actually wants the grand prize. It's simply incomprehensible. Let him go back to China."
Several people talked angrily, and everyone was very annoyed at Wang Qian's exorbitant demands.
The middle-aged man looked at the news on the screen and said seriously, "The nominations remain the same. Best Newcomer Sophie, Adam, Elizabeth, and Japanese Miyuki Nakamori are also included. Since he doesn't want it, then we will give the first Asian nomination to Miyuki Nakamori. She also has the ability and qualifications to be nominated."
"However, the winner must be Adam. French Sophie, English Elizabeth, and Japanese Miyuki Nakamori can only serve as foils for our North American Adam. As for Wang Qian, we can just say that he is not eligible for the nomination."
"Invite a few more authoritative judges to publicly explain why Wang Qian is not qualified."
Several others agreed.
"Okay, we should let him see that just because he broke the sales record, he can do whatever he wants."
"In the world of music, the Grammys still have the final say. He should just go back."
"I suggest inviting musicians and singers from all over the European and American music scene to criticize and call on fans to boycott Wang Qian. I think it might be effective."
"Don't even think about it. They definitely won't agree, or even if they agree, they won't do it. They only want to make money now, and they don't dare to go against Wang Qian."
"Then we will start the process now and announce the nominations next week..."
…
In another meeting room.
Several people from the Oscar Organizing Committee also received Qin Xuerong's rejection message.
"Wardfa, a compensation of 100 million US dollars? And the copyright of the performance has nothing to do with us? God, we can't afford so much money."
"This is the first time I've seen such an arrogant Chinese singer."
"Then let him go. We will never work with him again, and his name will never appear on the Oscar list..."
"Then let's announce the news. Don't say he rejected us. Let's say we carefully considered it and felt he wasn't suitable for our stage, so we didn't invite him!"
"I've said long ago that we shouldn't invite him. Twenty million dollars is too much. And it would have a bad influence if he, a Chinese singer, were to appear as the finale."
"What an arrogant Chinese singer! If he were that Chinese director, we wouldn't have to pay a penny, or make any promises, or even pay for travel and accommodation. All we have to do is ask him to appear on the stage of our party, and he would definitely come right away at his own expense..."
…
And at this time.
Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, Adam, Elizabeth and others have also received invitations to perform at the Oscars and Grammy Awards.
Adam, Elizabeth, Jonathan and other contestants all agreed to the invitation as soon as they received it.
but.
Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori did not agree immediately.
They all followed Wang Qian's news with curiosity.
Then.
The Grammys and Oscars officially announced the news first.
