Chapter 119 As a newcomer, Xu Kong still needs to settle down
In addition to Xu Kong himself being shortlisted, Su Zhi was also shortlisted this time.
And she is also the most valuable "Best Female Singer of the Year".
Su Zhi previously won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer, and also successfully set a new record as the youngest singer in the domestic music scene.
It is very meaningful for her to be shortlisted for the annual Chinese-language ceremony this time.
If he could win the award, he would have won two-thirds of the three most influential music awards in China.
But like Xu Kong, the competition among divas there is equally fierce.
In addition to singers like Su Zhi who have had diva honors, there are also many first-line singers who are very famous and influential in order to compete with divas.
The most important thing is that Su Zhi was able to be shortlisted, in fact, it was indeed inseparable from Xu Kong's help.
Especially the songs Xu Kong wrote for each other on the "Singer" stage.
The popularity and data can almost rank it in the top ten of Chinese singles this year.
Movies like "As You Like" and "So Many People in This World" are undoubtedly hits.
But the key to the problem is that Su Zhi has been preparing for the release of the album for more than a year, and its reputation is really unsatisfactory.
So if you want to win the prize this time, unless you are very lucky, the chances are actually not high.
"The clothes Huayi ordered for you are not suitable. I have asked them to change them."
"Also, you need a female companion to attend the event this time. Can you communicate with Su Zhi?"
"If that doesn't work, I'll help you contact other female artists."
In order to participate in the award ceremony of the Chinese Music Festival, the crew of Fairy Sword was forced to take another vacation.
In Zhu Yu's words, he doesn't have to go to other awards, but the Music Festival, one of the three most influential music awards in China, still tries his best to attend.
It’s not just about whether he can win an award, but also whether it will help Xu Kong’s own reputation.
But organizers like the Chinese Music Festival still have a huge influence in the domestic music industry. If you don't go, the other party is likely to think that it is Xu Kong's attitude problem, and thus exclude newcomers like Xu Kong. .
Although it is unlikely to be too blatant, it will definitely have an impact.
At least for the next award, Xu Kong may not even be shortlisted.
Xu Kong was not surprised by this.
After all, the entertainment industry looks glamorous and everyone seems to be nice and friendly.
But in fact there are still many so-called circles.
Although he couldn't stand this kind of clique-like behavior, there was no need to deliberately offend him.
"Su Zhi, let me ask, it should be fine."
Xu Kong originally signed a three-year endorsement contract with Huayi, but now it seems that the other party has really made money.
Even though Huayi is a so-called high-end brand, Xu Kong's reputation and popularity have increased so fast in the past half year or so.
A traffic star who could barely reach the top ranks of domestic entertainment at the beginning has now been shortlisted for five heavyweight awards at music festivals.
This time Xu Kong wore their clothes to receive the award in accordance with the contract requirements, which brought huge exposure to Huayi.
So as early as when the shortlist was announced, the other party showed great importance.
Several sets of different styles of clothes were specially customized for Xu Kong.
However, Zhu Yu finally asked the other party to make changes again because it was too gorgeous and fancy.
Xu Kong is currently the most discussed among the shortlisted singers. There is no need to dress up to attract the public's attention. Instead, a more low-key and restrained style is more suitable.
On the eve of the Chinese music festival, in a hotel in Shanghai.
"How was it?"
Xu Kong put on a new suit provided by Huayi.
The black suit looks plain and simple, but it just reflects Xu Kong's slender figure.
The exercise I had been doing since I traveled back through time has taken effect now. My previously thin figure has really become fleshy without clothes, and I look slimmer when I wear clothes.
Zhu Yu carefully looked at Xu Kong in front of her, especially when she saw the sunny smile on the corner of his mouth.
The heartbeat was inevitably a little faster than expected.
Not to mention anything else, Xu Kong's appearance and condition are truly a blessing from God.
He is already handsome enough in normal times, but now that he is wearing formal clothes, he has become even more charming as a mature man.
"Quite handsome."
Zhu Yu smiled and praised.
After all, she was no longer a young girl, so the scene wouldn't be too confusing.
"Sister Yu, can you wear a tie?"
Xu Kong suddenly asked.
"Where's your assistant?"
Zhu Yu asked subconsciously.
Usually this kind of thing is done by artist assistants.
"Do you think the fat man can?"
Xu Kong said with a smile.
Thinking of Xu Kong's manager Guo Zihao, Zhu Yu helplessly reached out to Xu Kong:
"I know, give it to me."
Subconsciously with a slightly coquettish tone, he took the dark blue striped tie from Xu Kong's hand.
Zhu Yu's height was just up to Xu Kong's nose, and when she helped him tie his tie, she could clearly see his raised Adam's apple.
Coupled with Xu Kong's breathing, his chest rose and fell slightly.
You could feel that Xu Kong was looking down at his every move.
All this made Zhu Yu feel that the whole process was quite long.
"Thank you, Sister Yu."
After finally getting it done, Xu Kong said with a smile.
It wasn't until Xu Kong left to find Su Zhi that Zhu Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"I'm so crazy"
Subconsciously fanning her hands to cool down her hot face, Zhu Yu murmured in a low voice.
Su Zhi and Xu Kong booked a hotel.
Since both of them were shortlisted for the award, they were able to spend time together to receive the award.
In fact, Su Zhi was always alone at similar awards or red carpet occasions in the past.
So when Xu Kong asked, Su Zhi's agent Yuan Yinan subconsciously thought that Su Zhi would refuse, but who knew that Su Zhi agreed without even thinking about it.
"Are you wearing these clothes on purpose to dress me as a couple?"
Su Zhi is also wearing a black women's suit, but the style is more neutral, which is in line with the other party's daily dressing habits.
But standing together with Xu Kong, they match well.
Of course, Xu Kong was just joking casually. After all, Su Zhi had always dressed like this, so it was most likely a coincidence.
But what surprised Xu Kong was that Su Zhi nodded very seriously.
"Hmm." "What?" Xu Kong was also a little surprised.
"I went to ask your agent about the clothes you want to wear for this award, and then I went to choose them specially."
Su Zhi's words really surprised Xu Kong at all.
Because from his understanding, this was completely unlike what Su Zhi would do.
Before Xu Kong could think about it further, Su Zhi had already reached out and held his arm.
"Let's go."
"It's Xu Kong and Su Zhi!!!"
"Damn, they are so perfect for each other. I can't help but cry when I see them in person."
"Xukong Su Zhi, look here, look here."
At the entrance of the award venue of the Chinese Music Festival, many media reporters and Internet celebrities who came to enjoy the live broadcast were already squatting here early.
The scandal between Xu Kong and Su Zhi has been rumored since the time of "Singer".
But apart from having very little interaction on the show "Our Song", the two of them have almost never been in the same frame again.
At this time, they were participating in the awards ceremony and walking on the red carpet together. The combination of this golden boy and beautiful girl naturally caused quite a stir.
"As far as I know, since Su Zhi debuted, this is the first time she has participated in an event and actively partnered with a male artist, right?"
"These two people are definitely real, I bet you ten packs of spicy strips!"
"If nothing else, Xu Kong is really handsome. I didn't think so before, but now I really feel that he is so handsome."
In Fat Bird's live broadcast room, I have to say that even he himself started to express some disapproval of Xu Kong and Su Zhi's CP.
Su Zhi is the kind of girl who looks like a stranger and has a strong sense of distance, so she seems unable to blend in in most public places.
But when standing together with Xu Kong, there was a rare and inexplicable sense of harmony.
Fat Bird also keenly discovered that in the past, when seeing Xu Kong in his live broadcast room, most of the viewers would be very disgusted.
But since Xu Kong showed his talent in music, his reputation has really changed completely.
Even many male netizens began to praise Xu Kong's good looks. You must know that before, this was usually something that only female fans in the fandom would like to say.
"Teacher Xu Kong, are you confident that you will win the award this time?"
"As the singer who has been nominated for the most awards this year, how many trophies do you think you can win in the end?"
During the interview session at the entrance of the venue, Xu Kong and Su Zhi were surrounded.
On the contrary, there were only a few first-line singers nearby, which seemed a little desolate.
"Actually, being shortlisted is the best encouragement for me. Of course I hope to win awards, but this kind of thing cannot be forced."
"The most important thing is to make your own music well."
Xu Kong replied with a smile.
He behaved very humbly, and his words in the scene were flawless.
It's not too difficult for him to deal with such a scene.
What Xu Kong didn't expect was that when he asked Su Zhi next to him, the other party said something shocking.
"I think the several awards that Xu Kong was shortlisted for this time are all worthy of winning."
The reporters who interviewed the two people all smiled and showed "I understand" expressions.
"What are they laughing at?"
"These are all my true thoughts."
Su Zhi looked at Xu Kong with some confusion.
Xu Kong helplessly spread his hands, saying that he didn't know either.
But he probably understood that, just like on the "Our Song" program, Su Zhi inadvertently revealed her unreserved preference for him, which was enough for the media reporters to hype up.
The video of this interview has been released, it is estimated that the CP party will have another party.
"Teacher Bai, do you think you can win the award this year?"
"This is the third consecutive year that you have been shortlisted for the best male singer at the music festival. If you still can't win the award this time, will you still choose to challenge for the top singer next year?"
"Competing for the same award with Xu Kong, the most popular newcomer in the music industry, how would you personally evaluate it?"
In addition to the lively performances of Xu Kong and Su Zhi, which attracted many interviews from the media, singers who have been shortlisted for some heavyweight awards are also favored by the media.
For example, Bai Mintao was agitated by some questions at this time.
As a first-line singer, this is the eighth time in these years that he has been nominated for the Best Male Singer of the Year in the three major music awards.
In order to compete for the honor of the so-called king of singers, Bai Mintao has been regarded as a model worker in recent years, and his output has even reached an exaggerated level. At least one album a year, plus a mess of eps, singles and so on, it is estimated that he can produce dozens of new songs.
Regardless of whether the quality is good or bad, this amazing perseverance has indeed made netizens talk about it for a long time.
At this year's music festival, in addition to Xu Kong, a newcomer who has been shortlisted for five awards, Bai Mintao is also the focus of discussion.
After all, people won’t remember much about hiring a singer who was shortlisted for the best of the year but didn’t win, unless you were shortlisted every time but didn’t win every time.
Bai Mintao's album this year has a very good reputation and data, and there is also a hit single. Fans think this is his most promising year to win awards.
Of course, last year and the year before were also the most promising years.
The same happened the year before last.
"Xu Kong is indeed a rare and talented young singer."
“But after all, it’s only been more than a year since I debuted, so I still need to settle down a bit”
Bai Mintao replied casually.
At this moment in Fat Bird's live broadcast room, although this sentence sounds okay at first glance, if you look at it carefully, it seems to have a bit of deep meaning in it!
"Bai Mintao thinks that Xu Kong is too popular and it is unreasonable to be nominated for too many awards?"
Fat Bird couldn't help but speak.
At this time, the viewers watching the live broadcast also reacted.
"It seems to mean so!"
"We still need to settle down. Doesn't it mean that Xu Kong is not worthy of winning the award now? He is not even qualified to be shortlisted?"
"It seems that Xu Kong has been shortlisted for too many awards this time, and he has even been shortlisted for the most valuable award such as Best Male Singer of the Year. Many singers are not convinced?"
Bai Mintao couldn't see the comments from netizens in the live broadcast room.
After answering a few more perfunctory questions, he hurried into the venue.
"Bai Mintao really has no bearing at all. Look at a veteran singer like She Huaning."
"It's normal. If you had been trying to become the king of singers for so many years without success, you would have been furious."
"Can Bai Mintao compare with She Huaning? He has already won all the awards he deserves. He is already successful and famous, and he no longer cares about these things."
The awards of the Chinese Music Festival are broadcast live in real time.
At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded 200,000, mainly because it is very popular. Even if you have never listened to the song, you are not a fan of anyone. There are many netizens who simply come to join in the fun.
However, Fat Bird’s own live broadcast room still has a fixed number of tens of thousands of people.
Now Fat Bird has been able to obtain the so-called live broadcast rights from official channels.
The main purpose of this type of music award event is to expand its influence, but it doesn't care about popular Internet celebrities like Fat Bird coming to attract a wave of traffic.
With the red carpet session lasting more than half an hour, most of the shortlisted musicians all entered, and the awards ceremony of the Chinese Music Festival finally officially began.
