Chapter 2530 Billboard Music Awards
Kim Yu-fan continued to chat with Ariana Grande for a while before sending Ariana Grande away in person, returning to the room to look at James Steve who was smirking, and shrugged helplessly: "Okay, this debt of favor is paid fast enough!"
James Steve shrugged and smiled: "Yes, it's really good, but Ariana Grande is also interested in inviting you to attend the Billboard Music Awards and sing your songs. This is the best way to promote you. After all, Jin, you have to understand that even if you have achieved good results in Hollywood, you have a very good influence in the minds of fans around the world with the "Twilight" movie series, but that's just the film industry. In terms of the music industry, you are indeed a newcomer, unless you really like the English songs you published before and like them to death, and remember you completely, probably not many people now know that you will be a singer."
"Although Ariana Grande is not very old, he is indeed the best singer in the American music industry. Like Justin Bieber, he is currently a representative and leader of male and female singers born in the 1990s in North America. More importantly, Ariana Grande is very strong and has a good talent, but he will not be as slaughtering as Justin Bieber. He is currently very popular and has a great influence in the music industry."
"From this point, although you know you are a little unhappy, it is true. At this Billboard Music Awards ceremony, you and Ariana Grande collaborated on singing the song "Need You Now" together, which will definitely attract huge attention. After all, Ariana Grande itself represents attention. In addition, you, Edward, suddenly came to sing, and the song you created by yourself will definitely attract greater attention."
"But I don't deny that the huge attention is because of Ariana Grande. At least you don't have any connections or relationships in the music industry at the moment. I guess you can be at the Billboard Music Awards. That is why the organizer looked at Ariana Grande and agreed to let you go, otherwise you would not be able to go even if you want to go."
Speaking of this, James Steve immediately laughed: "Although you know you don't care or don't care, it is undeniable that if you and Ariana Grande really sang the song "Need You Now" at the Billboard Music Awards Ceremony this time, at least from the outside world, you are really exposed to Ariana Grande's light. With the help and leadership of Ariana Grande, you are qualified to stand on that stage and make your own voice in the music industry."
Kim Yu-fan shrugged helplessly and said nothing. After all, this is a fact and Kim Yu-fan cannot defend himself.
Well, Kim Yu-fan said that he was really not used to it and was not adapted to this situation, but there was no way. He was in the United States. He basically had no reputation in the music industry, and no one recognized him. Not to mention the music industry, even in the film industry, if Kim Yu-fan hadn't been lucky, if he hadn't had the "Twilight" movie series, Kim Yu-fan probably wouldn't have received any recognition.
In fact, even if Kim Yu-fan has become an actor with great popularity and popularity around the world with the "Twilight" movie series, in fact, not many people in Hollywood recognize Kim Yu-fan.
The best evidence is that although Kim Yu-hwan has a high popularity and popularity, there are basically no scripts to ask Kim Yu-hwan. This is the best proof that people in the circle do not recognize Kim Yu-hwan. As for Kim Yu-hwan, they have received many scripts, but they are basically rubbish scripts, and they only value Kim Yu-hwan's global popularity and influence with "Twilight" and intends to consume Kim Yu-hwan as a fast food.
In short, good scripts, excellent scripts, excellent directors and actors do not. Isn’t this the attitude of Hollywood towards Kim Yu-fan, that is, there is no recognition of Kim Yu-fan yet.
It is undeniable that Hollywood is a place where interests are paramount. As long as Kim Yu-hwan can bring box office, then at that time, whether it is the eight major film companies or other producers and directors, they will recognize Kim Yu-hwan. But that is the future, at least not now.
Similarly, the same is true in the music industry now. After all, Kim Yu-fan has not officially entered the American music industry, so now participating in the Billboard Music Awards is indeed because of Ariana Grande. Otherwise, Kim Yu-fan is really not qualified to stand on the stage of the Billboard Music Awards. At most, he has a certain popularity and influence. As an award presenter, it is estimated that according to the American nature, even if he is an award presenter, he may not necessarily look down on Kim Yu-fan. Who made Kim Yu-fan an Asian?
"Yes, yes, yes, I know, what does that matter? In fact, as long as I am willing and have enough time, I can create a classic English album, which is not difficult for me." Kim Yu-fan looked at the giggling James Steve and said with disdain: "It just so happens that nothing is going on this year. There is no other major job except "Twilight? Dawn (Part 1). Why don't I prove it to you?"
"Okay, of course I'm happy to see you being a big shot in the music industry! After all, I'm your agent in the United States, even in Asia, Europe and the United States. Of course I'm happy to see you get recognized by mainstream European and American countries, so that you can be busier and me as an agent can show your own value. Personally, I also hope that you can be more and more successful. Only when the starring actors give me this agent will be valuable. At least with a top star is much better than with a second and third-rate star, and I have face."
James Steve said with a smile, and then said with a serious look: "However, as your agent, I must be responsible for your overall plan. If I remember correctly, you seem to have not released new albums in China and South Korea for several years. You have greeted me before and said that you plan to return to the Korean music scene this year. You are sure that under this premise, you still have time to create a high-quality English album."
Kim Yu-fan: “…”
Well, Kim Yu-fan has nothing to say. After all, James Steve’s reminder also made Kim Yu-fan sound. This year, we should indeed return to the music scenes in South Korea and China. At least we cannot keep fans waiting. We must also maintain our absolute competitiveness in the music scenes in China and South Korea.
If you calculate this, Kim Yu-fan really has no time to prepare an English album. After all, although the songs are not a big deal for Kim Yu-fan and can be taken out quickly, compared to shooting song MVs and necessary promotions, these all take time. After counting this, Kim Yu-fan really has no time.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Jin, you should rest early." Speaking of this, James Steve stood up, looking like he was about to leave: "Since you promised Ariana Grande, then you should also prepare for the Billboard Music Awards, at least you should protect your voice. Ariana Grande spoke and invited you. I guess Ariana Grande would also get the "Billboard" behind the Billboard Music Awards, so your performance is basically no problem.
.So, you should pay attention to this performance. This is the first time you have come to North America to perform as a singer and stand on a very high and important stage. Although the Billboard Music Awards are not as good as the Grammy, it has a great influence in North America because of "Billboard", especially many singers will participate. This is also a very good opportunity for you to build your connections and relationships in the North American music industry. More importantly, your identity as a singer will be recognized by the music industry, which is the most important thing."
Speaking of this, James Steve looked at Kim Yu-fan and immediately smiled: "By the way, the Billboard Music Awards will be held on May 18, which means that four days later, the location is the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas. So Kim, you can prepare now, at least be familiar with the song "Need You Now", so you can avoid being familiar with the song "Need You Now" at the Billboard Music Awards stage. When performing, your songs actually ran away or your breath could not keep up. In front of so many professional singers in the United States, it would be really embarrassing."
After saying that, James Steve didn't wait for Kim Yu-fan to say anything, nor did he see Kim Yu-fan's expression and left with a smile.
"What, No. 18, Damn!" It took a long time until James Steve drove away that Kim Yu-fan's whine suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the villa.
Kim Yu-fan never expected that the Billboard Music Awards would be held in May. In Kim Yu-fan's opinion, even if music awards ceremony like the Billboard Music Awards is not as good as Grammys, because Billboard has too much influence in North America and even in the world's music scene, the awards ceremony should be held at the end of the year, that is, December, or like the Grammys, every year from January to February.
This is normal, it should, and the singer's songs or new albums can be achieved after a year of development, so that they can see clearly what good grades they can achieve, and in terms of grades, they can be more fair and just.
Damn, who would have thought that the Billboard Music Award would be held in May? What is this? Is the Billboard Music Award so willful that it is held half of the time every year?
Well, it seems that's true, otherwise James Steve wouldn't have reminded himself specifically, and he reminded himself to participate in this Billboard Music Awards in a few days. What else can Kim Yu-fan say?
"Damn it, damn it. It seems that Simon is going to pretend to be pitiful again. If I had known that the Billboard Music Award would be held in a few days, I would not have said so readily at that time. I would definitely have gone all out to produce the late stage of "Twilight? Dawn (Part 1)" after participating in the Billboard Music Awards!"
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan sighed again depressedly, then shook his head and walked towards the underground music room.
Since he agreed to Ariana Grande and decided to participate in this Billboard Music Awards, Kim Yu-fan certainly wouldn't care at all. He must start preparing for the game slowly. As James Steve said, when he doesn't sing "Need You Now", he will be out of tune or have a huge embarrassment of having a problem with his breath, which will really smash his signature and make it more difficult for him to gain recognition from professionals in the North American music scene.
Kim Yu-fan is not afraid of difficulties, but he is a person who is afraid of trouble. He can handle it and do it well at once. Why do you have to mess up the matter yourself and increase the difficulty for yourself? This is not just being full and having nothing to do.
Of course, low-level mistakes such as out-of-tune will never happen to Kim Yu-hwan, but Kim Yu-hwan will still cheer up and do his best to prepare for this battle.
Not only because this is the first time Kim Yu-fan has made an official debut in the North American music scene, at least Ariana Grande works with him. Ariana Grande supports him fully and even wins himself the opportunity to stand on the stage of the Billboard Music Awards. It doesn't matter if he has a problem, but he can't implicate Ariana Grande. This is the most basic requirement, right?
"BOSS seems to be making a big splash!" As Kim Yu-fan entered the underground music room, Michael Keller said to Batisian Schumacher with a smile.
"Well!" Batisian Schumacher smiled and nodded: "BOSS has this strength, but she has been focusing on acting for the past few years, and her talent in music is not known. But at least we all know that BOSS is actually stronger than acting. At least during this period, BOSS's two English songs have completely conquered us."
Speaking of this, Batisian Schumacher smiled and shook his head: "Okay, Michael, you're here to stay. I'll go out to see the situation. The boss has given us a stable life. This time, the boss will attend the Billboard Music Awards. At that time, we have to follow us and we must support the boss's factory."
"YES, SIR!" Michael Keller gave an American military salute to Batisian Schumacher in a funny way, then sat down on the sofa at the stairs entering the underground music room, and took out his cell phone and started playing.
However, outsiders don’t know that there are guns and even grenades hidden under this sofa. Michael Keller is not really gossiping news, watching sports, or playing games, but the mobile phone is directly connected to the security system and camera of the entire villa, and you can see all the situations around the villa on your phone.
A few days passed quickly. Three days later, Kim Yu-fan finally managed to get Simon and Twentieth Century Fox, then gathered with James Steve and Ariana Grande, and took a group of bodyguards to board the flight to Las Vegas.
In addition to carefully preparing this performance these days, Kim Yu-fan also investigated and learned about the Billboard Music Awards without any trouble.
The Billboard Music Award is a music award ceremony hosted by Billboard. Although it is not as big as the Grammy in terms of influence, in the North American music scene, the Billboard Music Awards are not smaller than the Grammy. The main reason is that the Billboard Music Awards are held by Billboard. In the North American music scene, no one can bypass Billboard. On the other hand, the North American music scene has no need to worry about anything. It only needs to make a good effort in Billboard and get good results in Billboard, which is enough.
In some ways, "Billboard" is regarded as the most authoritative music ranking in the English-speaking region and the most important music ranking in North America. Basically, North American singers regard "Billboard"'s performance as the standard.
Therefore, the Billboard Music Awards hosted by Billboard are really no worse than Grammys, so every Billboard Music Award will basically attract countless North American singers to participate.
This is like South Korea. If there is only one MAMA Asian Music Awards Ceremony and no Seoul Song Awards or Golden Records, then there is no doubt that the MAMA Asian Music Awards Ceremony will become the most solemn music festival in South Korea and will attract countless Korean artists to participate.
In fact, the Billboard Music Awards are similar to the Korean Golden Record Awards, while the Grammys belong to the MAMA Asian Music Awards Ceremony. The former is more concentrated in the country, while the latter has a wider scope.
Or on the surface, the latter should have a wider range and will definitely have a greater impact than the former. But in fact, Korean singers pay more attention to the Golden Record Awards than the MAMA Asian Music Awards Ceremony.
The same is true for the Billboard Music Awards. As North America's own, and also the iconic and most important musical vane, the Billboard Music Awards have naturally received attention from North American singers, and even surpassed the Grammys in terms of importance.
Of course, Grammys are not bad either. After all, it is the most influential music festival in the world, so North American singers will also participate. But deep down in the hearts of North American singers, Grammys are just a show, and what they pay more attention to is the Billboard Music Awards.
At the same time, each Billboard Music Awards will be held in May every year, at the latest in June, but most of the time will be held in May. The locations are basically in Las Vegas, and they are held in the luxury Garden Theater of the MGM Grand Hotel, which is also the base camp of the Billboard Music Awards.
Well, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but be stunned by these understandings of the Billboard Music Awards. He didn't expect that the Billboard Music Awards are music awards recognized by North American singers and musicians. As for the Grammys, they are all a show, one for the whole world. Just like the Korean music industry attaches more importance to the Golden Record Awards, and as for the MAMA Asian Music Awards Ceremony, it was a show, one for Asia, especially Southeast Asia.
