Chapter 470: Grammy Invite, Refuse Ten Thousand Endorsements
Chen Yan and Dayao did not forget to have a commercial exchange of blows after the game.
Dayao: "I don't think it's surprising what kind of data Chen plays. I have been his opponent and teammate, so I know he has Dayao. Yao's face is not too depressed. It is reasonable to lose against the Suns."
Winning is a surprise.
Chen Yan said: "In the past, the impression of Yao was that of a traditional center, but now he has strengthened his support ability and shooting range without losing his previous low-post skills. He is the most comprehensive center in the league today, no one."
As the first Spring Festival war, the gold content of the game was still high enough, and there was no one-sided situation as predicted before the game.
Domestic fans were very satisfied. The two sides played back and forth, and the two Chinese players performed well.
After the game, Chen Yan called his parents to say New Year's greetings via video. During this period, mobile phones basically did not have video functions. If he wanted to make a video call, he had to hold his computer and use QQ video, which was very troublesome.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. All the relatives came to Chen Yan’s house to watch the game. Now Chen Yan is the pride of the family. Not only his parents but also relatives like to show off about him. Everyone tells everyone that there is an NBA star in his family.
National team players, the kind who make a lot of money.
This is a typical Chinese relative who likes to use money to measure a person's achievements and value.
Seeing that all his relatives were there, Chen Yan paid New Year's greetings to them one by one out of politeness. Since Chen Yan was far away on the other side of the ocean and the Internet was not very smooth, the screen was stuck one after another like a slideshow. Chen Yan didn't know if his relatives heard him clearly.
, talked for a few minutes and then hung up the video.
The next day, Chen Yan made the front page headlines again.
However, he made the headlines not because of his wonderful performance in the Spring Festival War, but because he was invited by the Grammys, who officially invited him to attend the 51st Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center.
As the highest award in the music industry, the Grammy Awards represent the highest level of current pop music. Every year, they attract and invite entertainment stars from the United States and around the world to attend. Since there are so many young artists competing for this year’s major music awards, the Grammy Awards
There are so many, so the winner of the grand prize is quite suspenseful.
Chen Yan himself was also surprised. He never thought that he would be able to participate in the Grammy Awards, but it makes sense if he thinks about it carefully. After all, this song "i-get-feeling" won the 52nd Grammy Awards in his previous life.
Award for "Best Pop Band/Group".
Chen Yan received two Grammy nominations for this single, namely Best Single of the Year and Best New Artist of the Year.
His main competitors are new British female singer Adele and British new star Duffy, American teen idol group Jonas Brothers and young R&B singer-songwriter Jazmine.
In terms of votes, Duffy far exceeded the other shortlisted artists. For a newcomer, Duffy stole the show in 2008. His first album sold more than 4 million copies worldwide in just six months.
, and won the top spot in the UK charts.
Even the famous electronic game manufacturer Electronic EA chose "Mercy" from Duffy's "The Ferry" album as the theme song of the game "FIFA 2009".
British female singer Adele and the group Jonathan Brothers are also very popular. Chen Yan also knows that it is difficult for him to beat them in the competition. For Chen Yan, going to the Grammys is more like a ticket trip.
But being able to win a Grammy is also a success to a certain extent.
Chen Yan's nomination also made his girlfriend Swift very envious. Swift has only been nominated for a Grammy so far. In 2008, she was nominated for Best New Artist, but lost to Amy, who was in the limelight at the time.
-Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse won five awards at the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Newcomer and Best Female Pop Vocalist, becoming the first person to win five Grammys in a single year.
American award-winning British singer.
"I have prepared an acceptance speech for you. If you win the award, just go up and read it." Swift joked during the phone call.
"If I really win the award, I can just retire and become a full-time singer." Chen Yan also joked with Swift with a smile.
"Haha, then the basketball world will lose a superstar." Swift laughed.
"But there will be a new star in the music industry." Chen Yan also smiled.
"Come on, you better play your game. If you really retire and pursue music, your fans will definitely kill me." Swift said.
"Why did I kill you?" Chen Yan asked.
"Because you have a girlfriend who is a singer, they will definitely think that I encouraged you to pursue music," Swift said.
"It seems to make sense." Chen Yan nodded.
Swift continued: "And I've only heard of basketball players singing as a side job. I've never heard of a singer playing in the NBA as a side job."
"Haha, Taylor, don't be so serious, you sound like I can really win a prize." Chen Yan said.
"I'm optimistic about you. People like to see some novel things. If an NBA player wins a Grammy, it will be explosive news." Swift said.
"The organizer will not allow such a thing to happen. To you, I am an amateur. An amateur took away the award from a professional. What do you want those professionals to do?" Chen Yan said to himself
The cognition is still very clear.
Swift smiled and said: "Let the professionals switch careers to play basketball."
Swift is also in a good mood. Although she was not nominated, she was invited by the organizer and will sing live on the day of the Grammys.
After hanging up the phone from Swift, Chen Yan immediately received a call from Bill Duffy.
Bill Duffy told Chen Yan on the phone that a new endorsement had come to his door, but it was for the pharmaceutical product he most disliked.
The reason why I called Chen Yan to confirm was because the other party gave me too much.
"Strengthening Medicine has launched a new body-strengthening and bone-strengthening product. They have invited you to be their spokesperson. Chen, do you want to consider it?"
"I won't consider it." Chen Yan refused directly.
"Their endorsement fee reaches tens of millions, do you really not want to consider it?" Bill Duffy said.
Johnson & Johnson is a well-known pharmaceutical company in the United States. There is only one reason why they asked Chen Yan to be their spokesperson. They only rested for one game after the last bad fall, and then came back and continued to produce amazing data. They felt that Chen Yan was very suitable to be the new player.
Product spokesperson.
But Chen Yan has never believed in pharmaceutical brands. If something happens to him, his credibility as a spokesperson will be greatly reduced.
A multi-million dollar contract is indeed a lot, but it is nothing compared to my reputation.
Moreover, Chen Yan is not short of money now. In addition to Li Ning's dividend, Chen Yan has also purchased a large number of real estate at home and abroad, and registered an investment company in New York to specialize in investing in technology companies, stocks and funds with great potential.
Chen Yan has the perspective of a time traveler, making it difficult for him to make mistakes when investing.
