Rolling Stone magazine published an article (Weibo) at US time1October 24th 165438+, entitled "Insider of American Music Awards 20 14: 20 Questions from Row X". The subtitle of this article is: Why did the award ceremony shoot the content that was only broadcast in China during two advertising slots and other problems of Nokia Theatre?
Jason and Chopsticks Brothers have always been on the list? Rolling Stone: No! Goodbye! Pass the ball
The Rolling Stone article asks, "What happened to the special content of China? In the third hour of the award ceremony, AMA provided two commercial breaks to shoot a customized content broadcast in China-which means that the two clips seen by the audience will not be broadcast in the United States. First, Chopsticks Boys (named Chopsticks Boys by Rolling Stone) performed their single Little Apple, which was touted as being as sensational as Uncle Bird's Jiangnan Style. They recreated the elements in the music video on the spot, including a mermaid with a long beard in red striped pajamas. After that, Pitbull, the host, awarded Jason the "Best International Artist Award"-this award can't be found in the official winners list of the award ceremony website. Jason's appearance puzzled the audience in Los Angeles, but his English speech won their hearts. He admitted that he was jet-lagged. He looked really excited and sang Michael Jackson's Save the World beautifully.
When the media on both sides of the Pacific didn't find the award-winning information of Chopsticks Brothers and Jason in AMA official website, Mark of official website DCP said: "Jason and Chopsticks Brothers have always been on the list, and they have always been on official website. My subordinates and I also heard about it, and we specially checked the website. These two have been on our website. I don't know why someone can't find it. Their names are also on our previously published winners list. "
"There is no such thing as buying a prize"? Rolling Stone: Is it still possible?
Another passage in Rolling Stone magazine reads: "Other questions caused by the two performances of Chopsticks Brothers and Jason and the awarding ceremony are: Did AMA reach an agreement with China to customize the content for China? Why are there no other nominees for the Best International Artist Award? Did AMA only find China stars who are willing to come all the way to receive the prize? Does Jason know that his prize will not be broadcast in America? If he doesn't know, why should he accept the prize in English? Does he want to impress fans in China, or does he want to impress people in the music industry of Nokia Theatre? "
When both China and the United States questioned whether there was a commercial transaction between AMA and China, Mark said, "AMA has a history of 40 years. Do you think we will do such a thing? ! For every award, we are very serious, and there is no such thing as buying a prize. "
"A special prize has just been set up this year"? AMA official website: Established for the first time!
When it was widely rumored on the Internet that Jason's agent team repeatedly stressed that the award he won was the same as that of Michael Jackson, Mark's answer was consistent with the content on AMA official website: "Jason and Chopsticks Brothers were actually specially established by AMA this year to expand the international market." If Jason's management team really said this, is it possible to deliberately confuse the audience to raise the gold content of Jason's award?
In a word, this storm not only caused netizens to speculate and vomit about China's motivation for winning overseas awards, but also many people thought that the "backstage award" and "advertising time performance" of the American Music Awards were not authentic. However, dick clark Production Company was originally a purely market-oriented commercial company, and the American Music Awards were also described by the American media as "a star-studded program". Anyway, this flawed international drama has successfully attracted onlookers in China!
