Chapter 443 Grammy Awards
Once the king emerges, who will compete with him?
When the guests and chefs at the scene smelled the aroma that could make Buddha jump over the wall, they already knew who the title of Chef God should belong to.
Fortunately, although there is only one chef, all the chefs who entered the finals can participate in the production of the state banquet in a few days. This time, their purpose of coming was achieved.
In addition, being able to see so many dishes beyond imagination is really a worthwhile trip.
It can only be said that they are convinced by Luo Quan, the god of cooking.
Soon, after tasting all the dishes, the judges announced their scores.
Without any suspense, Luo Quan once again won with perfect scores and became the champion of this Master of Chef Competition.
After the game, Real Sea Bream Jiangshan Tu and Buddha Jumping Over the Wall were no longer as simple as being on trending searches, but became popular in WeChat Moments.
You can get it on Hot Search for a little money, but it can fill your circle of friends with relevant news, and it is definitely a hot topic across the country.
The Master of Chef Competition was originally a program recently promoted by CCTV. Most of the people who watched it were middle-aged and elderly people. But with Luo Quan joining, young people also became interested, which made the audience group very broad.
The two dishes Luo Quan made in the finals were very gimmicks.
One is inspired by the Chinese territory, and is a one-fish, four-eating dish that includes four distinctive food flavors from four regions. It is unique and has a lofty ambition.
Needless to say, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a dish that vividly embodies the unique Chinese food culture. Almost all cooking techniques are used in the production process, and the ingredients are also quite rich.
Although the finished product is not as popular as the real sea bream Jiangshantu, the taste was unanimously recognized by all the guests at the scene. Wu Tao even praised it as "the taste is the best in the world!"
It is self-evident how authoritative it is for a highly respected veteran in the culinary industry to make such a comment on CCTV.
Overnight, these two dishes from Luo Quan were all over WeChat Moments. Almost everyone mentioned these two dishes when talking about the delicacies they wanted to eat.
The good news is that these two dishes do not have as strict requirements on production techniques as Golden Open Smile. Although it is a little troublesome, it can definitely be reproduced.
Luo Quan also generously announced the recipe at the end of the program. After it came out, major restaurants started researching it that night.
There are a few chefs with relatively high levels of skills who can already cook the real sea bream map the next day.
Although the taste is definitely not as good as what Luo Quan cooks on the show, ordinary people have never eaten Luo Quan's dishes.
Now is the time when this dish is becoming famous. Many people follow the trend and take photos to check in after eating. Whether they post it on Moments to like it or on Douyin to attract traffic, it will always be detrimental.
In comparison, Luoquan in the capital seemed much duller.
Generally speaking, the chef who wins the MasterChef Competition must be the chef that every major five-star hotel desires.
But her situation is too special. The whole country knows that she is a singer. In the eyes of most people, she came to the competition just to play for tickets. Unexpectedly, she was so strong and she won the championship in an invincible manner. .
Although she won the championship, these hotels also knew that it was impossible to sign her. Music was Luo Quan's main business.
Therefore, no hotel contacted her after the competition. After all, the recipes had been announced, and there was nothing to talk to her about.
So for the past few days, she was playing fish on her phone in the hotel. Three days later, she officially participated in the production of the state banquet.
Unlike the Master of Chef Competition, which was broadcast live in front of the whole country, Luo Quan and all the other chefs did not have the opportunity to appear in front of the camera.
After going through strict security checks, they were taken into the kitchen to cook, and after finishing cooking, they went back to their respective homes. After all, the purpose of foreign guests coming to China is not to eat food, and they would not call the chef over to praise the food in person because the food is delicious. Ichiban.
This time Luo Quan cooked Golden Smile and Beef Wellington, one Chinese food and one Western food.
The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was left to Wu Tao. This old chef had a better grasp of the heat than Luo Quan. Even Luo Quan, who had so many magical kitchen utensils, could not guarantee that he could make it taste better than him.
After the state banquet was finished, Luo Quan's trip to the capital came to an end.
Although she was not able to show her face on a real big occasion, the dishes she cooked this time still left a deep impression on several important people. Even a simple compliment can definitely be regarded as a good job for the officials who arranged the state banquet. Results came out.
After receiving one level of awards after another, Luoquan naturally received high praise from Vice Minister Zhao.
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Being praised by the deputy director of the GD Bureau almost means that she can go sideways in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future. Whether it is music or movies, it will be much easier than others to pass the review.
This is her biggest gain from this trip.
And her schedule didn't stop there. She didn't seem to get much rest time since the New Year holiday.
First, he went to South Korea to accompany Wen Xia and the others on a variety show, then moved to the United States to win an Oscar, then returned to China to work as a cook, and now he is going to the United States again.
Because the annual Grammy Awards are about to begin, and as the most famous musician in recent years, she had previously promised to sweep the Grammy Awards.
And this time the Grammys were very generous and directly invited her to compose and sing for the opening performance.
In the past, Grammy opening concerts would invite big names and veteran performers in the industry to perform friendly performances. Newcomers rarely had the chance to attend, but this time Luo Quan was invited, which meant that the message was very clear.
The domestic music scene, which had been dormant for some time, suddenly revived and began to wonder how many Grammys Luo Quan could win this time. Some even directly compared Luo Quan's historical status with that of older musicians from the last century.
In today's music circle, no one is qualified to compete with those old musicians of the last century, but except for Luo Quan, she really has this qualification.
Many people are unwilling to admit it, but in fact, Luo Quan's current achievements and his own level are actually beyond many, many seniors.
After this Grammy, the controversy about her will basically disappear completely.
She has already swept all the authoritative music awards in China and Japan. If she wins the Grammy again, let alone China, she will be qualified to take a chance on even seniors from all over the world.
By then, the title of the greatest singer of the new century will become even more secure.
Yes, he is the greatest singer of the new century.
Now Luo Quan's nickname is no longer the leader of Asia's new generation of singer-songwriters, but the greatest singer of the new century.
This has been certified by many music websites including "Big Stone" magazine. Whether it is from a commercial perspective, a musical perspective or a production perspective, no singer who has debuted since the new century can match this. She compared it.
The only factor that affects the public's recognition of this name may be her age. Nineteen is indeed too young, but it also reflects how talented Luo Quan is.
In short, after the news that Luo Quan was invited to participate in the Grammys came out, the entire Internet was hotly searched and discussed.
Zhihu has even started celebrating, celebrating that China has once again achieved a milestone in world entertainment.
Although the response from station B was not so strong, the push arrangement was also arranged. After all, it is its own artist.
However, in comparison, fans are more concerned about the daily videos posted by Luo Quan.
When the news spread, Luo Quan had already arrived in Los Angeles.
It had been less than a month since she last came here.
The Oscars are held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood outside the city, while the Grammys are held at the Staples Center in the city.
Anyone who is familiar with basketball knows that this is the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers. It is very well-known both at home and abroad. It is a must-visit place for many foreign tourists.
However, Luo Quan had never been here during his previous visits to Los Angeles.
Of course, she has not been to other well-known attractions.
On the one hand, she is lazy, and on the other hand, there are many people here. If she joins in the fun and is recognized, she will become a tourist attraction and be checked in by others.
But this time the situation is different. The Grammy Awards ceremony is considered a second-tier event in the entertainment industry than the Oscars.
The former invites film and television stars from all over the world, while the latter invites music stars from all over the world.
Of course, the guests invited to the two ceremonies are not so strict. As long as you are famous enough, you can be invited to participate, whether you are a movie star, a singer, or even an Internet celebrity.
The red carpet of Western award ceremonies has always been a runway for female stars to show off their looks and figures.
Last time at the Oscars, Luo Quan wore more ordinary and low-key clothes because he was not very confident about winning the Golden Melody Award.
This time the Grammys are completely her home field. For her, this is destined to become a shining point on her resume.
And how could she not dress up for such an important event?
So when she came back from the Oscars, she went to Chanel headquarters and asked for a haute couture dress that could stand up to the occasion.
It's definitely too late to make them now, but Chanel has been a long-standing brand for decades and has accumulated too many good-looking clothes, so he sent Luo Quan several sets to choose from.
Among so many beautiful clothes, Luo Quan chose a large purple skirt. The hem was ridiculously large and very noble. It looked like a pair of furry wings. It was really difficult for most people to control this style.
But for her, there is no style that she can't control.
She is a natural clothes hanger, and her figure is even more explosive than most Victoria's Secret supermodels. After making up for the shortcomings of the cat walk, she will not feel out of place even if she immediately walks on the catwalk.
On the night of the Grammys, Luo Quan still arrived by car with Leon.
Seifert was also present this time. The three of them got out of the Lincoln limousine and walked towards the red carpet.
Unlike his low-key and reserved appearance at the Oscars, Luo Quan became quite confident and flamboyant this time.
She has always been synonymous with modesty in China, but foreign cultures are different and she will not follow this pattern. If she is too modest, it would be hypocrisy.
With her current achievements, there is no need to use humility to win the favor of passers-by. The more confident she is, the more respect she can gain from others.
Today, no one is more confident than her.
From passers-by to reporters to singers, everyone knows that today she is here to sweep the Grammys, and not even Jesus can stop her!
And the winged dress she wore today made it clear that she wanted to leave a deep impression on everyone present.
"Tonight's Staples Center is her home court." A reporter said.
In the past, when he came here for interviews, he would say this to basketball stars, but today he said it to a singer. It was really strange.
But it is true.
The two men specially asked Luo Quan to walk in front and receive the baptism of the flashlight alone.
In the middle of the red carpet, Luo Quan stopped and accepted the usual interview.
Compared with before, Luo Quan had more to say this time.
"Luo Quan, what are your expectations for this Grammy?" the reporter quickly asked.
"It's very big." Luo Quan smiled brightly, "Of course it's very big. After all, no one will think that he has won too many awards, right?"
Another reporter said: "You look so beautiful today. This is very different from your pure and elegant image in the past."
"People are not static, and it is normal to make changes sometimes." Luo Quan laughed when he said this, "Besides, being pure and elegant has never been my inherent label."
This is also true. I have taken so many promotional photos for Chanel in dresses that are famous for their sexy and coquettish clothes, as well as a whole beach photo album. Her bold appearance and hot figure do not really match her innocence.
It must be said that this is just Luo Quan's early style. The key point is that although her face is pure, it has always exuded the original sin that tempted everyone's desire from the beginning.
Therefore, her label should be that she is so beautiful that she brings disaster to the country and the people.
The reporters smiled and then continued to ask: "After winning this award, do you have any plans for the next step? Whether it is music or film and television, as far as I know, you have already composed the theme song for "Titanic"." It’s made, right?”
This person is quite well-informed, and I don’t know where he got it.
Luo Quan was secretly surprised, but the smile on his face did not change: "I can't reveal the specific details of "Titanic" yet. As for my next plan, I have about two movies to make. Just continue to create music.
But there will definitely be some time left for the album. After all, I just released a trilingual album a while ago. No matter how productive I am, I have to give me some time to rest. "
After answering the three questions, the reporters still wanted to continue the discussion.
But this is the red carpet after all, and no matter how much it is her home court, she can't occupy it for so long. Others have to leave too.
So after answering this question, Luo Quan said sorry to the reporters, turned around and walked inside the Staples Center...
