The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 464 Singing
In the huge and empty auto repair shop, the lights of the pile of TV sets were concentrated together. Although the faces of the four people were illuminated, they looked extremely gloomy.

"Here is the live broadcast of CBS TV in the United States!
Tonight, the 61st Annual Grammy Awards kicks off at [-]nd New York's Madison Square Garden, and the greatest night in music just keeps getting better and better, with Grammy moments like never before! "

In the TV program, the voice of the host is passionate and contagious. With the help of the electronic tuning system, the montage screen switches back and forth, giving people a sense of grand professionalism.

"Wait, you brought us here to see this thing?"

John Constantine couldn't help complaining, "And the picture quality is too bad, right? Can't I watch it at home?"

"Yo, so you can talk?"

The clown raised his eyebrows and sarcastically said to Constantine, "I thought you were dumb."

"Hehe." Constantine sneered, took out a crumpled Sika cigarette from his pocket very skillfully, put an invisible air isolation circle on himself, and lit the cigarette with his fingertips ,
While puffing in the space created by the isolation circle, he retorted: "Don't be too happy, do you know how we deal with rape?

At that time, for a traitor like you, I am afraid that even death will be a luxury. "

Hearing Constantine's threat, the clown just grinned his lips in disdain and made a grimace, "Don't worry, Mr. Warlock. You and I are all the same kind of people to a certain extent,

For us, physical pain can only be regarded as a kind of entertainment.

And mental torture is by no means a threat to heartless scum like us."

"That's not necessarily true." Constantine seemed to have remembered something, interrupting the clown's words, "Academy City's torture methods will exceed your imagination."

The clown curled his lips, and did not argue with Constantine on this issue, but just widened his eyes to the limit, like two swollen eggs, staring at the picture,

At the same time, he stretched out his index finger and pressed it lightly on the scarlet lips, "Hush, the host hasn't finished yet."

The corners of Constantine's mouth twitched, and he remained silent—since Li Ang was leading him this time, the second-rate warlock didn't bother to think about it any longer. Anyway, the sky was falling and there was a tall man to support him, let alone an epic-level giant like Li Ang. Golden thighs.

The live broadcast of the Grammys continues.

"Guests here are Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Little Big Town, Money, Sting, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee!

And the duo who performed together for the first time, Martian and Cardi B, Elton John and Miley."

The Grammy Award, one of the most important awards in the American recording industry and the world music industry (combining the three major elements of authority, fairness, and influence, it is not an exaggeration to call it the Oscar of the music industry), is awarded by the Recording Society of America , the purpose is to reward the industry's outstanding achievements in the past year.

At the beginning of each year, the Grammy Awards, which has a history of more than [-] years, will hold an extremely grand awards ceremony in the United States. Not only will all the well-known stars be present, but various programs will also be staged in turn.

With the popularity of the Internet, the number of viewers of the Grammy Awards has gradually increased in recent years, breaking through the 2000 million mark and slowly sprinting towards the figure of 3000 million.

However, at this very moment, the No.60 Grammy Awards ceremony has not yet officially started, and there are already more than [-] million TV viewers from all over the world, standing in front of the TV, waiting for the live broadcast of the American CBS TV station .

On the Internet, the number of viewers who watch the live broadcast on various platforms has to be doubled several times.

Of course, this is definitely not because a certain traffic fresh meat in a certain group of Dongfang Huaguo was "invited to attend" the Grammy Awards Ceremony, which caused traffic fresh meat fans to buy "broiler computers" all over the world to watch the live broadcast number of people.

It's because in this year's Grammy Awards Ceremony, there is a much-anticipated star who will appear at the awards ceremony with the dominance of more than [-] nominations.

That's right!

She is the direct descendant of the frost giant Ymir, the appointed ruler of Jotunheim, the second in line heir to Asgard, the god of lies and cunning, and the epic background king far surpassing Big Sweet - Luo Ji.

In the past half a year, Luo Ji, who has the endorsement of Academy City, can be said to have gathered the mighty power of the world and the love of all people.
CAA, WMA, ICM and other brokerage companies are acting like cows and horses for her, wishing that Luo Ji's pictures can completely occupy all the electronic screens in the world,
Record companies such as Columbia Records and Capitol Records respected her, and countless music stars lined up, waiting to cooperate with Rocky and create songs.

Film companies such as Warner Bros., MGM, Paramount, Universal, 20th Century Fox, and Disney have done their best for her, and have done everything possible to increase her appearance rate. Countless Oscar winners can only play in the movies starring Rocky Acting as a gold medal supporting role.

For Luo Ji, every minute and every second of her schedule, including food and drink, has been accurately calculated, in order to squeeze out as much time as possible and keep swiping the screen in front of people all over the world. Refresh the screen again.

Fortunately, Luo Ji is a descendant of the Frost Giant, who can withstand such a high intensity of activity. Otherwise, a star with an ordinary physique would have died of pain and happiness on the way to the show.

It is precisely because of the exquisite appearance and divine temperament brought by Luo Ji's frost giant body that the people around the world who have been bombarded indiscriminately are not bored with her.

From the old man to the young child, no one can say no to a naive and seductive adolescent girl, not to mention the pervasive public opinion manipulation system, which subtly enhances the public's goodwill towards Luo Ji .

It can be said that in only half a year, Rocky has become the hottest entertainment star in the world - even Elvis Presley and even Michael Jackson in history cannot match Rocky in terms of the number of fans.

Even if it is the daughter of the head of the American family, it is absolutely impossible to enjoy such super high-end treatment; even the most Mary Sue novels dare not portray such a background king who easily dominates the entertainment industry.

What's more, because Luo Ji's star journey is so smooth, some netizens with rich associations began to imagine who is behind her.

What are the direct heirs of the Rockefeller and Rothschild families, what are the reserve princesses of the Middle Eastern royal family, and even diplomats sent to Earth by alien civilizations.

In these fantasies, there are many people who connect Luo Ji's background to Academy City and even Li Ang, and arrange various jokes involving "hidden rules", "support", "overbearing president" and so on.

Of course, if the arrangement is too explicit or involves personal attacks on Li Ang, the network monitoring department of Academy City is not good at nothing. It takes minutes to find rumor-mongers along the network lines across countries and even continents, and let him try what is called "Free Speech Online".

On the TV screen, the aerial perspective kept zooming in, showing the huge screen inside the Second New York's Madison Square Garden.

The huge screen is magnificent, the stage lights are colorful and gorgeous, and the halls and rooms are brightly illuminated.

The gloomy guests attending the ceremony all dressed up one after another, and any one picked at random was a famous elite in the industry—to a certain extent, all the audience off the stage were wealthy people with assets of millions or even tens of millions.

However, none of them are the protagonists tonight, whether it is
"Next, the opening act, let's welcome—"

The host's announcement sounded extremely long, as if wishing to extend this second to an hour.

On the live broadcast platforms around the world, the audience has long been impatient, pressing their fingers on the keyboard like flying, expressing the mania in their hearts through barrage.

"Let us welcome Brother Bolan, Liang Feifan, Liang Yifeng and other all-star ghost animals!"

"Let us welcome Huang He, the director of Jiangnan Leather Factory in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, who has been missing for a long time, and his sister-in-law!"

"You have switched to a 2G/3G/4G cellular network."

"Mama, I'm on TV!"

"If you don't say anything, host, I'll cover my mouth to prevent myself from crying. By the way, let's talk about BBox again."

When netizens from all over the world expressed their impatience, the host finally said the name - "Loki!"

In an instant, all the live streaming platforms exploded, and those netizens who were fans of Luo Ji swiped their screens frantically, wishing to completely cover the entire screen.

"Luo Ji, I declare you ah ah ah ah!"

"Luo Ji, maybe you don't know it yet, I have already obtained a marriage certificate for us, and your name is written on the real estate certificate."

"I punch a monster with one punch!!"

Even though the major live broadcast platforms have made full preparations, under the bombardment of the huge barrage, the screen still appeared a little stuttered. It was not until Academy City Network Technology Department received assistance that the global live broadcast screen could be maintained as much as possible. Synchronize.

At the scene, as the stage lights gradually dimmed, a flag fluttered on the huge screen.

The flag is blue as a whole, with a globe pattern painted with white lines on it, and below the pattern is an inverted triangle with the three letters PDC embedded in the triangle.

Planet Defensive Council
This is the logo of the Planetary Defense Council.

There were voices of discussion in the audience, and it was obvious that the song that Luo Ji was going to sing was related to the Planetary Defense Council.

There is no problem with this. The Grammy was just a very ordinary music award at the beginning of its birth.

Over time, the Grammys have gradually been influenced by Hollywood's politically correct atmosphere, and more political factors have been mixed in.

The awarding criteria are no longer just based on the aspect of "whether the music is excellent", but also the singer's race, skin color, and religious belief.

In many cases, the controversy of the Grammy Awards lies in the high-selling pop albums of white singers, and the hip hop albums of black singers, which album is more eligible, and obviously the latter is more "politically correct" Advantage.

Especially in recent years, Grammy's white-left political tendency has become more and more obvious, and it has basically become the weathervane of American populist culture.

In this atmosphere, there is absolutely no problem for Luo Ji to sing related songs of the Planetary Defense Council-after all, defending the earth is obviously a higher-level political correctness than low-level political correctness such as race, culture, and religion.

As the flag of the Planetary Defense Council fluttered slowly on the big screen, the discussions off the court gradually quieted down.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Luo Ji to appear.

呲————

With the psychedelic smoke rising from the stage floor, a circular crystal platform slowly rises from the center of the stage. Luo Ji, who is wearing a white gauze dress, holds a microphone, just like Venus, the goddess of beauty rising from the ocean in mythology. , with a peaceful and gentle face.

“There comes a time when we heed a certain call”

(When we hear the earnest call)

“When the world must come together as one”

(The world should unite)
Luo Ji lightly parted her vermilion lips, and sang.

All the musicians in the audience showed expressions of astonishment on their faces, not because of how amazing Luo Ji's singing was, nor because of how touching Luo Ji's singing was, but because of the lyrics and melody of this song. the meaning behind it.

In 1984, British singers Phil Collins and Bob Geldof gathered more than ten singers to record the song "Do they know it's Christmas", which raised a lot of money for the hungry in Africa.

The charitable deeds of the British music scene moved American musicians, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, who were shocked by the food shortage and starving people in Libya and Sudan at that time, spent four days composing the song "we are the world", That is, "One Family of Four Seas".

And on January 1985, 1, after the American Music Awards ceremony, 28 singers were called to the A&M recording studio in Los Angeles, and it took one night to complete the recording.

The song raised a total of more than 6000 million US dollars in charitable donations. With the help of this charity, civilians in African countries including Mozambique, Senegal, and Mauritania have been helped.

It can be said that "we are the world" not only has a strong stroke in the history of world music, but also its rich humanistic meaning is even more thought-provoking.

Especially in this general environment where the alien civilization is overwhelming and the future of all living beings on the earth is uncertain, the concept of "world harmony" described in the lyrics coincides with the spiritual support that human beings urgently need.

"Hahahahaha, the show is about to begin!"

In the auto repair shop, the clown laughed frantically, and the utter madness was hidden in those dark pupils that were as small as dust.

"..."

Li Ang looked at the former Gotham crime king indifferently, and quickly pieced together all the clues he had in his mind, trying to find a smooth path to the truth from the chaotic and complicated situation.

Wallfacer, Wallbreaker, Professor Charles, Ghost Rider, Tomoko, Luo Ji, Faith Conferred God Project, Trisolaran Movement Organization, Planetary Defense Council, the song "Universe", the Grammy Awards Ceremony...

All these information gradually merged in Li Ang's mind.

"It's getting more and more interesting..."
