Chapter 799: Racial Discrimination at the Grammy Awards

Kerry was not willing to let it go, but continued to ask: "Mr. Ye, as a guest invited to attend this Grammy Awards, I want to know what you think of this Grammy Awards. Who do you think has the best chance of winning the title of male or female singer?"

This is a trap, and it is a big one. If Ye Ming is a newcomer, he may be fooled, but Ye Ming is not a newcomer, he is an old fox who is actually older than Kerry, so , Ye Ming, who has been a man for two generations, laughed kindly, and the laughter was full of ridicule.

Ye Ming smiled like an angel, but Kerry felt like a cunning devil. Ye Ming said lightly: "This reporter, as a guest of the Grammy Awards, I am obliged to abide by the rules. Guess Awards are your reporter's business, and what we singers have to do is sing our own songs well and wait for the exciting and unbearable moment to come. Well, since someone is not following the rules, the press conference is over."

Everyone must abide by the rules, and the Grammy Awards also have their own rules. For example, reporters can casually guess who is more likely to win the award, and people in the entertainment industry can do the same.

But only people who are invited to participate in the Grammy Awards cannot do this. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished. Who will win the Grammy Awards is the opinion of experts.

In fact, in the American entertainment industry, there are more than one or two people who have such rules. Generally speaking, if a film is recognized by the Golden Globe Awards, it will usually be nominated for at least an Oscar, and there is more than half a chance of being nominated for an Oscar. In terms of winning awards, the Golden Globe Awards have the title of Oscar bellwether.

Sure enough, the Grammy organizing committee sent someone to remind Ye Ming to pay attention to his words and deeds before the Grammy Awards.

This is because Ye Ming did not talk nonsense according to his character, otherwise it would not be impossible for him to be banned from the Grammy Awards.

But Ye Ming abided by the rules, and the people in the Grammy Awards organizing committee couldn't say anything more. This is also the rule.

On February 21st, the 43rd Grammy Awards ceremony was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

This is a prosperous era in the Western music world. Many stars attended this party. Famous singers Madonna, Superboy, Bad Boy Eminem, Irish pop band U2, etc. all participated in the Grammy Awards ceremony.

Of course, such a grand celebration requires rehearsals. The singers will not be rehearsing in person for the first few times. The organizing committee will arrange staff to conduct adjustments. The singer himself will be present at the last rehearsal. This is As a sign of respect to the Grammy Awards staff, even Madonna will be present in person during the last rehearsal.

To be honest, Ye Ming doesn't have many acquaintances here, so sometimes, Ye Ming seems a little lonely.

Of course, the people in the organizing committee did not make Ye Ming feel lonely. The dressing rooms are also divided into three levels. One is the luxurious dressing room for superstars such as Madonna and Bad Boy Eminem. , and another one is the invited guests.

The dressing rooms of ordinary singers, and finally the public dressing rooms of dancers, bands, etc. Although Ye Ming is not very famous in the West, since he was invited, he naturally has his own independent dressing room. .

What the Grammy Awards Organizing Committee did in such a matter was very unethical. Ye Ming was not assigned to a separate dressing room, but to a public dressing room. This was obvious racial discrimination.

Ye Ming immediately said angrily: "This is simply bullying. I will lodge a protest with the organizing committee."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "Mr. Ye, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you at the Grammy Awards ceremony.

What, do you have any objections to the organizing committee’s arrangement? In fact, to be honest, when Eastern singers arrive at the Grammys, they are usually arranged in this kind of public dressing room, and no one will raise any objections. This is the Grammy Awards ceremony, and the stage is full of top-notch performers. King of Heaven and Queen of Heaven, this is not the Chinese Heavenly Palace. "

Ye Ming looked at Ayumi Hamasaki who was walking slowly over sadly and said: "Hamaji, to be honest, I feel sad for you too. If you don't fight for this matter yourself, how can others do it?" I look up to you. You have to fight for your rights. If you look down on yourself, why would others put you in a public dressing room like this?"

Ye Ming was not polite at all to Ayumi Hamasaki's ridicule. In fact, to be honest, if Hamasaki is really willing to cooperate with Ye Ming to protest this arrangement of the Grammy Awards organizing committee, Ye Ming will really put aside his grudge and cooperate with Hamasaki.

But Hamasaki obviously had no intention of reconciliation, but really stood aside and watched the joke.

Ye Ming very quickly found Jim, the staff member who arranged the dressing room, and said, "Sir, I was invited here and am your guest. Do you treat your guests like that? According to the Grammy Awards According to the rules, I have a separate dressing room, and I demand my legitimate rights."

Jim said unhappily: "Sir, please don't be too busy. We are already very busy. You still have so many things to do. You are not the only singer who is putting on makeup here. Why aren't others doing it?" If you raise a protest, you are the only one who raises a protest."

Ye Ming looked at Ayumi Hamasaki, who had been watching the show, shrugged his shoulders and said to Jim: "Others are others, I am me, I was invited here, and I am a singer nominated for the best song and dance record. I have the right to demand my treatment. If you don't correct your mistakes immediately, then I reserve the right to hold you accountable for this matter. You are already suspected of racial discrimination.

I think your honor is very willing to give me justice. "

People on the organizing committee are also very worried. Although racial discrimination has not been eliminated in the United States, white people basically have the concept that white people are superior people, but now no one is willing to bear the concept of racial discrimination. Later, the organizing committee found out that there were thirteen single rooms in the dressing room. As a result, too many guests were invited, and only Ye Ming had to do his makeup in the public dressing room.

Moreover, Jim, the staff member, is such a white-minded person that he thinks it is good that Asians are invited.

Do they have the right to ask for anything else?

But at this time, Robert, the chairman of the organizing committee, hurried over and roared loudly. Robert's angry voice could be heard from far away: "Jim, you bastard, idiot, I asked you to receive the singer, not You are causing trouble for the organizing committee. Do you know that we have received six calls from lawyers now, all about your alleged racial discrimination? If you can't do this job well, then what will happen? In one case, you just have to stop doing it and get out of here."

At this time, Jim seemed to realize that something like this was not good. Ye Ming was not an ordinary person. Orientals have a saying, be prepared for a rainy day. This guy must have called a lawyer before looking for him.

Otherwise, in a matter like this, the lawyer's call would not have come so quickly. Robert drove Jim away angrily, and then said to Ye Ming pleasantly: "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry. I didn't pay attention to the arrangements of the staff below. This was a dereliction of duty on my part. I'll find someone right away." I’ll free up a dressing room for you.”

I don’t know how much energy Ye Ming mobilized in these ten minutes. The Chinese Embassy lodged a protest against Grammy’s unfair treatment of the Chinese people.

This is what annoys Robert the most. Americans have always used human rights issues to attack China. This time China actually used racial discrimination to protest against the United States. This is simply unbelievable, but it is a fact.

The White House press secretary has already called. If Robert can't do well, just get out and don't be embarrassed. Moreover, Ye Ming directly found several famous lawyers in Hollywood, Wall Street, Washington, etc., almost all over the United States. If these lawyers were to fight with Grammy, they would just talk about Grammy. This racial discrimination has led to lawsuits.

And Robert is very sure that his lawsuit will definitely make Grammy vomit blood.

In fact, Robert didn't know that Ye Ming was responsible for promoting the Beijing Olympics at the Grammy Awards. Therefore, Ye Ming was actually racially discriminated against at the Grammy Awards. The Chinese Embassy would let this go. Opportunity?

Obviously that was impossible, so the call to protest was quickly made. Ayumi Hamasaki was stunned. This guy Ye Ming is indeed quite powerful. Robert, the chairman of the Grammy Organizing Committee, personally came out to apologize. If you think about it, Hamasaki, it was simply impossible. things.

But in fact, Robert not only came to apologize, but also politely took Ye Ming to his own dressing room.

In fact, at this time, Hamasaki thought about it, what Ye Min said was correct. If a person couldn't even look down on himself, then in a situation like this, who would really think highly of you?

Ye Ming stated with ironclad facts that the Grammy Awards organizing committee is not as unattainable as the legend says.

At least that's how it is in front of Ye Ming. As for other Asia-Pacific singers, they don't get the same treatment as Ye Ming. (To be continued)
