"The rivers and lakes are surging
Look how free I am
Who is the most uncomfortable?
Being second in the world is also pretty good..."
On the way back to the hotel, Shen Lang sang happily, feeling extremely happy.
The lyrics perfectly reflect his current state of mind - I am free and unrestrained, not afraid of ever-changing situations, I don't fight to be the first, I just want to be the only one, being second in the world is also good.
He is like an unruly knight, galloping freely in the world of music, facing achievements in a free and easy manner, not obsessed with the title of the first, but enjoying the happiness brought by music in a unique attitude.
As for the fact that Shen Lang "writes songs with his mouth", Chen Yaochuan and Du Ting are no longer surprised.
In their eyes, Shen Lang possesses magical abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Musical inspiration flows out of his mind like a spring. He can hum at will and create amazing melodies and lyrics.
After all, they are geniuses. Those things that seem outrageous to them are commonplace in the eyes of geniuses, as simple as eating and drinking.
At this moment, the excitement and excitement in the hearts of the two were still difficult to subside. Witnessing the birth of such a miracle and history was a scene they could hardly have dreamed of.
After Shen Lang stopped, Chen Yaochuan said: "Being the best in the world is often too lonely, and the one who sticks out gets shot. Being the second in the world is really good." In a highly competitive world, sometimes being second can help avoid too much pressure and attention, while also maintaining the motivation to move forward.
Du Ting said directly: "I think the Grammys should not let this record be occupied by a foreigner for a long time."
After all, the Grammy Awards ceremony is different from sports. The results of sports are relatively objective, one is one, two is two, while the results of music awards are very subjective and highly operational.
Of course, sports are not completely unmanageable, such as taking banned drugs, changing the rules, etc.
But no matter what, seven Grammy trophies, tying the second best result in history, is already very remarkable.
Shen Lang smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry too much about this. It's just an award ceremony. It has nothing to do with your real strength and ability."
Chen Yaochuan and Du Ting looked at him with great admiration. This attitude showed his open-mindedness and detachment.
They also understand that true strength and ability do not depend solely on one award, but are demonstrated through continuous creation and hard work.
This mentality of not being bound by awards allows Shen Lang to maintain his original intention on the road of music and keep moving forward.
Chen Yaochuan then asked, "So, for the celebration banquet, should we go back and hold it?"
Upon hearing this, Du Ting said, "Just now, Universal Music called. One is to congratulate the boss on winning the Grammy Award, and the other is to invite the boss to their cocktail party."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Well, let's hold a celebration party in New York tomorrow. Invite all the artists, employees, and other partners of the company to come, so I don't have to go."
Also, he has invested in Nvidia, Google, and Marvel, so he can invite senior executives from the three companies here and use this opportunity to build relationships.
After a while, the three people's cell phones kept ringing, all calling to congratulate Shen Lang.
When the live broadcast of the award ceremony just ended, everyone considered that Shen Lang might have other things to do such as interviews, so they waited patiently for more than half an hour before calling.
It wasn't until we arrived at the hotel that the phone calls gradually became less frequent.
"Will you be back tomorrow?" Gao Yuanyuan asked Shen Lang with a hint of anticipation.
"It won't work tomorrow. Let's hold a celebration party here first. After all, we have a branch office here and we won the award here. The celebration party will end tomorrow night and we will take the early morning flight back." Shen Lang explained.
"Oh, then you should be careful over there." Gao Yuanyuan said with concern.
"I know, and you too. You must be careful when filming in the snowy mountains." Shen Lang warned.
"Since you talked to the director, we won't take any risks in filming now. We also found a local guide and only started filming after we made sure it was safe," said Gao Yuanyuan.
The two chatted for more than half an hour before hanging up. It felt like a long time since they last saw each other. As Shen Lang's closest person, it was a bit regrettable that he couldn't be there.
On Shen Lang's side, just as he put down his phone, it rang again. It was Sun Yanzi calling.
"Finally got through..." Sun Yanzi let out a long sigh. She had been on the phone for half an hour.
"They are all congratulations, one after another. I don't even have time to call you." Shen Lang said matter-of-factly.
"It's okay. I can hit you anytime." Sun Yanzi said considerately.
"I'm going to New York to hold a celebration party and will return to Yanjing the day after tomorrow. Remember to come." Shen Lang said.
"Well, then I'll book a flight to Yanjing tomorrow and wait for you at the villa." Sun Yanzi said happily.
These two chatted for half an hour, showing their deep love.
It was morning in China, but already early morning in the United States. Shen Lang washed up and went to bed very late.
The next morning, he flew to New York. At the airport, many people recognized him, which attracted quite a lot of attention.
Last year, Shen Lang was nominated for a Grammy and won a Billboard Music Award, which had a huge impact.
However, it was only widely reported in Asia, and was only mentioned briefly in Europe and the United States.
But this year is different. First of all, the album "Shen Lang·Towering Waves" made his influence and popularity rank among the top, and then 12 Grammy nominations and 7 Grammy trophies made him a world-class superstar who is currently very popular.
Therefore, it would be a shame to the newspaper sales if it didn’t make the front page headlines this time.
Los Angeles Times: Beyoncé steals the spotlight, Shen Lang takes over the pop music scene!
"New York Daily News": The trendsetters of pop music are revealed, the 50th anniversary of the Grammy Awards, Chinese singer Shen Lang makes history!
"Billboard Magazine": The most successful pop singer of the 21st century, the successor to the King of Pop Jackson!
The Times: Grammy breakthrough, Shen Lang shines!
"Times" Magazine: With both popularity and strength, Shen Lang deserves the title!
The Sun: Shen Lang, a Chinese singer, has become the new king of American music!
Most media outlets are exaggerating or making objective comments.
Of course, there are also some media criticizing.
For example, the Associated Press pointed out sharply that a group of deceased artists won awards, the Best New Artist award was given to a disbanded band, and the award ceremony was strictly prevented from repeating the "Janet Jackson incident". The Grammy Awards are inevitably on a downward trend.
The article pointed out that the 46th Grammy Awards ceremony ended in a seemingly peaceful atmosphere after more than four hours of "assembly line operation", but in the hearts of music fans, this commercial event that emphasizes popularity over strength is becoming less and less interesting, and the luster of the "Golden Trumpet" is fading. The fledgling Shen Lang and Beyonce took home 4 and 7 Golden Trumpets respectively, while Bon Jovi, who is deeply loved by music fans, is still not on the list.
The last comment was very sharp - the Grammys are just a show and have little to do with the music itself. But regardless of whether there is controversy or not, the heat can no longer be stopped.
After the Grammy Awards, Shen Lang's name swept the global entertainment industry like a storm.
In addition to widespread media coverage, celebrities around the world also commented on their respective social media.
Avril praised: "I watched Shen Lang's performance live at the last Grammy Awards. He is a very talented singer." Her words were full of recognition and appreciation for Shen Lang.
Coldplay said: "We are all rock musicians and know his strength. We are convinced that we lost to him in the Album of the Year award this time." From the perspective of their peers, they spoke highly of Shen Lang's musical talent.
The comment from the King of Understanding was hilarious: "No one understands China better than me. Shen Lang is suitable to be the spokesperson for my hotel." This unique statement added a different kind of fun to the event.
Beckham recalled his previous experience of working with Shen Lang on the World Cup theme song MV: "We exchanged signatures, I gave him a signed football, and got his signed album. Next time we meet, we'll see if we can exchange trophies. He won 7 last night anyway." There was a joking element in his words, but also an expectation for future interactions.
Spielberg also spoke highly of Shen Lang: "He is a very talented and charming star. If there is a chance, we can cooperate with him, whether in movies or music." The recognition of this famous director shows that Shen Lang has broken the circle.
Scarlett Johansson expressed her love for Shen Lang's songs: "I have been listening to Shen Lang's songs, I like them very much, and hope he can release more English songs." Her support undoubtedly shows the depth of Shen Lang's charm, which transcends national boundaries.
These comments from celebrities further expanded Shen Lang's influence around the world.
Europe and the United States are so popular, what do you think it will be like in Asia?
Originally, Asia was Shen Lang’s main market, so this time he was going to be very excited.
However, all the songs released before were in Chinese, and they were mostly supported by Chinese in the Japanese and Korean markets, so their popularity in the local market was relatively average.
After winning the award this time, everything felt different.
Among them, the Korean media was the most shameless. They directly published an article stating that Shen Lang might be Korean. They even interviewed a couple who were looking for their son. They made very convincing arguments and held up a mosaic photo, saying that it looked exactly like Shen Lang.
Damn, when Shen Lang saw this news, he had already made that gesture.
The Japanese media was much more restrained, only comparing him with some well-known Japanese stars, and even held a vote with the title - [Who has more strength and charm as an Asian superstar].
Then, Japanese stars include Utada Hikaru, Nakajima Miyuki, Amuro Namie and so on. Objectively speaking, in terms of album sales and world fame, Shen Lang is far ahead of them. However, this is a vote in Japan, with the local bonus. More Japanese netizens choose their own stars, which is normal. If you bring these people to China to vote, let alone Shen Lang, even Huang Bo can surpass them.
After lingering at the airport for a long time before being able to leave, Shen Lang also bought a lot of newspapers for the day. He felt very happy when he saw these good reports.
Arrived in New York, began to prepare for the celebration party.
In the hotel, foreign artists under Jingtao Music, including Rihanna, Adele, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Chris Hemsworth and OneRepublic, all sent their congratulations. Their eyes were full of admiration and amazement. Seven Grammy trophies, what an honor it is.
"Teacher, congratulations!" Taylor ran to Shen Lang with a smile.
"Thank you." Shen Lang responded with a smile.
"I also have good news for you." Taylor said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"What good news?" Shen Lang asked following her words.
"I can go to China!" Taylor said excitedly.
"Don't you still have to go to school?" Shen Lang asked in surprise.
"Be an exchange student. I asked my dad to give it a try before, and I didn't expect it to be successful." Taylor said happily.
Does this work too?
This little girl...
Shen Lang shook off the thoughts in his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Okay, contact me when the time comes, and I will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation over there."
Taylor smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
That’s right, she came up with the idea of becoming an exchange student because of Shen Lang.
What music school teacher can compare to a singer who has won seven Grammy Awards?
Therefore, she was eager to learn more music knowledge and skills from Shen Lang to improve her own musical level.
The celebration banquet was extremely lively, with many celebrities and businessmen who are still unknown now coming to attend.
They may not be well known to the public at this time, but in the future, they will all become famous figures.
Shen Lang was filled with emotion as he looked at these faces full of vitality and potential.
The changes brought about by time travel are too many and too great.
He saw the gears of fate turning, and countless possibilities were waiting to be unlocked in the future.
In the early morning, they left New York and returned to Yanjing.
The plane cuts through the night sky, carrying with it a lot of memories and expectations.
Shen Lang knew that a new journey was about to begin, and he would continue to write his own legendary story in this "new world".

The Capital Airport is crowded with people.
These people come from different places and have different backgrounds, but at this moment they all gather here for the same person.
The media reporters were carrying cameras and had focused and anxious expressions. Their eyes were fixed on the airport exit, and their cameras were ready to press the shutter at any time to record that anticipated moment.
Fans were holding various cheering items, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. They had been waiting here for two days, just waiting for Shen Lang's "return as the king."
The atmosphere at the airport was tense and heated, everyone was looking forward to it, and at this moment full of anticipation, time seemed to be exceptionally long.
Shen Lang did not choose to go back in a low-key and secret manner, but walked out of the airport passage without any disguise.
Having won the award, you naturally have reason to relax at this moment and enjoy the joy that success brings.
His appearance, like a bright star, illuminated the entire airport and instantly caused a sensation. (End of this chapter)
