The forty-fifth Grammy Awards were officially held subsequently.
Xiang Nan was shortlisted for three awards, namely Single of the Year, Best R&B Song, and Best Pop Male Vocal.
In the end, he won single of the year with "YEAH!!" and two awards for best R&B song with "crymeariver".
Attending the Grammys for the first time, Xiang Nan was naturally delighted to be able to win these two heavyweight awards.
The Grammy Awards represent the highest award in the American music scene, and their status is similar to the Oscars in the film industry. It is not an easy task to be able to win the award at this awards ceremony.
Especially for newcomers, it is even more difficult.
However, Xiang Nan still successfully won the award, which naturally made him even more delighted.
…
Successfully winning the Grammy Award made Xiang Nan the darling of the media and received considerable coverage. In addition, he walked the red carpet with Mariah Carey and his intimate attitude made the media catch the scandal.
These news reports once again stimulated the sales of "uptownfunk". Within three months of its release, the cumulative sales volume has reached 20 million copies.
Seeing such a gratifying sales volume, Roy even suggested that Xiang Nan could discuss it with Mariah Carey, so as to make some scandals and hype it up.
Anyway, this kind of thing is not new in the entertainment industry. Many celebrities even made their fortunes by relying on scandals.
"You don't need to really fall in love with Maria, just put on that gesture. I think it can boost the sales of at least five million copies. Think about it, what a huge sum of money that is." Roy Advised, "If you are worried about Mary, I can help you persuade her."
"I'm more worried about your job now, I think you should consider finding another home." Xiang Nan glared at him and said angrily.
He has reached the top now, and he doesn't care too much about whether the record sales can increase by another five million. It's like having become the Four Heavenly Kings. It doesn't matter if the record sales are tens of thousands of copies, it's still in the same class anyway.
But for the sake of this sales, to have a fake affair with Mariah Carey, he will not do it.
"I'm just a suggestion. If you disagree, forget it." Seeing what Xiang Nan said, Roy quickly waved his hands.
"Don't come up with such bad ideas in the future, and I don't allow you to persuade Mary." Xiang Nan reminded him, "Otherwise, if I find out again, I will definitely overtake you. You'd better remember this and don't challenge me again bottom line."
Seeing what Xiang Nan said, Roy immediately grimaced and nodded.
…
In March, Xiang Nan returned to London to participate in the filming of the film "The Prodigal Son".
The producers were surprised by this.
He originally thought that after Xiang Nan became famous, he would give up acting in this movie. After all, he is only a small supporting role in the film, and all the roles added up to less than ten minutes.
With his current position, playing such a small role is really a bit aggrieved.
Celebrities filming, or guest appearances, showing their faces in just a few seconds.
Scenes like this can be filmed in one day at most, so don’t waste too much time, just treat it as fun.
And regardless of whether the film succeeds or fails, the guest star is not liable.
For example, Michael Jackson's cameo in "Men in Black 2", Jackie Chan's cameo in "The King of Comedy", and Madonna's cameo in "007: Die Another Day".
Either it is the protagonist, who gets the most pay and takes the heaviest role, success or failure is up to him.
As for the supporting role, which is neither important nor light, it is actually not suitable for an already famous superstar like Xiang Nan.
The salary is low, the time is long, and there are not many scenes, not many. The performance is good, but it can't be brilliant. If the performance is poor, it is likely to be criticized.
In short, this is a thankless role, and the producers did not expect Xiang Nan to continue to play it. Moreover, he has even selected a backup actor.
"Since it's something you've already promised, you shouldn't go back on your word." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
When they signed the contract with him, he hadn't officially reached the summit yet. They gave him a chance because he passed the audition.
He also accepted it at the time, but now he has to go back on his word when he reaches the summit, what kind of person would he be?
Although Xiang Nan is not a 100% gentleman, he also wants to be a man of his word, so since he has already accepted the role, he decided to play it to the end.
"Thank you, thank you very much." Producer Mai Li Bait said gratefully.
Xiang Nan did this, which really moved him. And with his joining, coupled with Johnny Depp's box office appeal, this "The Prodigal" may achieve a very good box office.
…
"The Prodigal Son" then started filming.
Xiang Nan's roles are not heavy, just the roles of three men and four men, and the total scenes are less than ten minutes.
In order to film this scene, he only stayed on the set for about seven days in total.
In just seven days, he and Johnny Depp have become good friends.
It turned out that when we met for the first time, Johnny Depp asked, "I heard that your poker skills are very good. Let's have a chance to compare them."
It turns out that Ben Affleck, Leo, Tobey Maguire and Johnny Depp are all friends and love to play poker. The place where they usually meet is at the Viper Bar founded by Johnny Depp.
The last time Shannan was in Las Vegas, he won more than 40 million dollars from Ben Affleck and Xiao Lizi, which is not a small sum.
Johnny Depp had heard about it, so he wanted to discuss with Xiang Nan.
"Someone gave me money, I naturally have no objection." Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it.
After finishing the work that day, they went to play cards, and then Johnny Depp was cut off by Xiang Nan, losing half a million dollars in a single card.
When he wanted to add more, Xiang Nan stopped him, "Okay, stop playing, you will never beat me."
"Why?" Johnny Depp asked puzzled.
"Because I have captured all your movements and expressions since you got the cards. Although you have tried hard to cover up, you still cannot escape my eyes." Xiang Nan explained.
He has inherited the technology of the God of Gamblers, and he is good at capturing the most subtle expressions and movements of the opponent, so as to analyze the opponent's winning rate.
Now that he has received the blessing of Jason Bourne's genetic medicine, he observes more carefully and thoroughly, and calculates the winning rate more accurately.
In this way, it is impossible for Johnny Depp to win him.
"Impossible." Johnny Depp was a little disbelieving.
"There are some details that you don't even notice. For example, when you get a good hand of cards, you always lower the corners of your mouth habitually, for fear of revealing yourself with a smile. But the action of lowering the corners of your mouth itself has already exposed.
When your cards are bad, you will habitually step on the ground. You thought there was a tablecloth covering it and I couldn't see it, but I did. "Xiang Nan explained.
Johnny Depp couldn't help admiring him when he heard it, and then introduced Xiang Nan as his confidant.
