The first and last songs have become one of the famous scenes of this season. Even nearly twenty years later, the performance scenes at that time are still talked about.
Comparatively speaking, the most unlucky one was Dao Lang, who won the extremely difficult song "I Will Love Even If I Die".
The reason why he is unfortunate is that in addition to the super high-pitched part of the song itself, it is also testing his shortcomings of not being good at covering other people's songs.
Of course, it is not ruled out that he may become the biggest dark horse. For Liu Qingshan, it is the existence of Daolang in this version that suddenly increases the suspense of the show.
And since the last issue, Daolang has gradually entered the state, his performance level is getting higher and higher, and his attitude towards participating in the competition is getting stronger and stronger.
The song Jin Xishan wants to sing is "Dear Child". This song is an old song from the 1980s. Because it is so well-known, it is not easy to sing well. It also depends on whether the arrangement can be brilliant and subversive. Ranking is paramount.
At the end of the recording, Liu Qingshan personally sent Jin Xishan and his party to the airport.
Her follower lineup is not small, in addition to Park Hyun-hee, Feng Anyi, Li Xin, Tu Haoqian from the escort team, manager Wang Jinghua, Park Hye-jin from Snowland Group, and the entire legend band.
In addition, Fan Shengyang is the team leader, Liao Xin is responsible for logistics support, and there are also several staff from Snowland Entertainment.
But that's not all. If the negotiations go well, the xy women's team may rush over later. As for Liu Qingshan, there will only be Liu Hua left.
Taking Liu Hua there was a completely personal relationship. This man complained to Liu Qingshan many times that he had never been abroad. There was no purpose in taking him there, just to satisfy his curiosity.
In fact, I only followed him for four short days, and most of them were probably on the plane. However, Liu Hua was already very satisfied. His willingness to go abroad was secondary, because the main reason for this trip was to consolidate his future management confidence. .
After Jin Xishan flew away on the plane, Liu Qingshan returned and entered the intense post-editing process.
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and the post-production of the previous issues has been completed. However, this is not the final version, and Shanghai TV has to go through the review process.
The other party also has a small part of the editing rights, but it will not affect Liu Qingshan's overall thinking, let alone one-sided plot modifications.
After all, they are also a professional post-production team and have handled countless variety show productions. It is still necessary for them to supplement the reality of subtitles such as the previous two texts and some animation post-production effects.
Furthermore, the TV station still controls issues such as the release and insertion of advertisements. As long as the integrity and smoothness of the overall content are not affected, Liu Qingshan is still willing to let them go.
That afternoon, the xy girl group rushed over so that they could follow him on tonight's flight.
This is because not long after Jin Xishan landed, he contacted the organizing committee of the 35th American Music Awards. Naturally, they were more proactive.
And without much haggling, she actually brought up the subject of inviting Liu Qingshan to sing two songs.
After it was determined that one of the songs would be "The Lonely Warrior", the theme song of "Ip Man 1", it was also decided that this song would require live accompaniment by the Mongolian band from the mainland.
The reason why this issue was raised by Jin Xishan is because such an opportunity is crucial to the Hanggai Band.
This is because the current band has encountered a very embarrassing problem, that is, after the song they sang with Liu Qingshan became popular, their influence in the mainland market is far less than overseas, especially in Europe and the United States. .
In other words, it is true that they are famous, but they are even more famous overseas, so most of the performance notices they receive are from Europe and the United States.
And they have already gained a high reputation in the European and American rock circles, especially in the United States and Germany. Due to too many invitations, the band has not been back to their hometown for several months.
Summer was originally the off-season for open-air concerts, but because they participated in several of the concerts with the Lincoln Band, their reputation further increased.
promote.
Although he was just Liu Qingshan's band accompanist this time, the American Music Awards is a live broadcast on a global scale. It is said that even several major TV stations in remote Africa will broadcast real-time footage of this event.
Moreover, they knew Liu Qingshan's intentions very well. In addition to the above reasons, of course it also included the greater significance of promoting Mongolian music.
Therefore, the band members are very willing to have this opportunity to perform, and they will actively cooperate even if they do not receive any compensation.
In fact, the conference has some expenditures for them, but it is more symbolic.
Not only them, but other performers also receive the same treatment, which is similar to the situation in the National Television Spring Festival Gala in the Mainland.
As for Jin Xishan's other requests, the organizing committee only gave a comprehensive reply, that is, she and Taylor can get performance opportunities at the same time. It is impossible to perform alone. After all, there are only six or seven songs in total. .
Their only advantage is that they will not be classified as one of the mobile quotas. In other words, they can guarantee that the performance will not be temporarily canceled.
In fact, according to Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan's previous idea, they were fighting for a spot in the chorus, because this would have a significant impact on the overseas sales of Jin Xishan's new album.
Taylor is completely a friendly assistant, because her main purpose of participating in this conference is to win awards. After all, her third album ranks high in global sales.
Relatively speaking, Liu Qingshan's award is something he can easily grasp. And because he can be invited to appear in the three major awards for the first time, it has been regarded as the biggest selling point by the organizing committee. Maybe he will become the winner of this year's award. The biggest winner at the American Music Awards.
He also attaches great importance to being qualified to sing two songs, because with this start, if other well-known awards want to invite him, at least the treatment will be the same as this one.
You must know that there were only a few songs to perform, and he alone accounted for half of them. This privilege was not even obtained by the then King of Pop Music, Jackson.
However, this kind of special treatment can be easily understood. After all, Liu Qingshan's own traffic and topicality are extremely high, which is something that no current European and American singer can achieve.
Don't forget that Western music award ceremonies are still based on commercial interests. With traffic, there will be more profits. They have complete trust reasons for giving Liu Qingshan such treatment, and they are aboveboard.
As for the record companies behind singers who are nominated for awards, they are more concerned about their own singers winning awards, and whether they can be guest performers is a secondary issue.
For Liu Qingshan, the unexpected surprises don't stop there. According to usual practice, before the official awards ceremony, some new singers will have the opportunity to perform as a back-up performance.
Even when this kind of performance is going on, maybe half of the people in the audience are not seated yet, and there will be no special host recommendation, but there is still the possibility that it will be spread by the live broadcast signal.
Even if it is not imported into the live broadcast signal, it is an excellent publicity opportunity for those newcomers. There is not even any relevant footage leaked afterwards. It is just that when new works are released, this performance experience can be marked as a promotional selling point. , is already a great opportunity.
The xy girl group won a spot for this back-up performance.
Although they are well-known in overseas markets, in Europe and the United States where there are countless singers and bands throughout the market, their reputation is not enough to get an official invitation, even if it is just a seat at the awards ceremony Quota.
Furthermore, their works are mainly Chinese-language songs, and much of their fame comes from the influence of their external image, such as being young and beautiful.
But this time they came with an English song. This song was one of Liu Qingshan's long-planned development plans, and they had been secretly rehearsing it for a long time.
Opportunities will always only come to those who are prepared, and the works produced by Liu Qingshan are all of excellent quality that have been verified by the market, so even if it is a dispensable back-up performance, he is still confident that xy Promote girl groups.
When the plane landed in Los Angeles that day, it was just after noon local time.
Just in time for the afternoon program rehearsal.
Originally, there was no opportunity to perform during the back-up performance, but due to his reasons, he was still brought into the venue.
At this time, the Hanggai band had already arrived at the scene and had already had rehearsal experience with the legend band.
However, Liu Qingshan still had to participate in person, because according to the plan, there would be a short solo of his Mongolian sanxian at the beginning of the song.
This part of the rehearsal is about the song "The Lonely Warrior". As for the other English song, it is an old song, which is also a piece given by the organizing committee based on online voting.
That is the rock song "ysongsknohatyoudidinthedark" that he and Taylor performed together on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
The song has a long title, but it has a terrifying folk dissemination rate. It even once became one of the main background music in major entertainment occasions in Europe and the United States.
At the same time, it has also become the main dance accompaniment in NBA games. The cheerleaders of the Los Angeles Lakers even choreographed a special dance based on this song for halftime performances.
Moreover, its officially released single has topped the British Rock Singles Gold Chart for 8 consecutive weeks.
In the first week of its release in the United States, it topped the B-Songs chart and ranked third on the U.S. Hot Digital Download Songs chart. At the same time, it entered the U.S. Hot Singles Chart, Pop Songs Chart, Alternative Songs Chart, and Adult Pop Songs Chart for three consecutive months. The top 10 of the list.
The authoritative old American music magazine "Billboard" and other media gave similar comments: Completely unconventional, blowing away the mask of artificial boy idol groups, and giving you the most passionate sound of the new generation!
This evaluation is extremely valuable because the influence, professionalism and impartiality of these media's music reviews are world-renowned.
