Chapter 121 The youngest singer in the Chinese music scene!
Whether it is the Chinese Music Festival, the three most influential music awards in the country, or some other domestic awards.
The most valuable ones are the best male and female singers of the year.
In addition, there are awards such as Best Single of the Year and Best Album of the Year, which are relatively highly recognized and can bring fame and actual influence.
Of course, just being shortlisted for the three major music awards such as the Chinese Music Festival is worthy of being regarded as an honor by many musicians in the domestic entertainment industry.
After all, most people in the entire music industry, including singers, lyricists, composers, and even arrangers and producers, will probably not be shortlisted once in their entire careers.
Those who can participate in this ceremony are either very potential newcomers or players who have already been at the top of the industry.
"The 28th Chinese Music Festival, the winner of the Best Female Singer of the Year is"
“Congratulations to Teacher Rongxia!”
The awards event has come to an end, and one of this year's divas has finally been announced.
It is Rong Xia, a first-line singer who is almost forty years old and has been in the industry for more than ten years, but has never been able to win the title of diva.
This result is actually not too unexpected.
Even before the awards ceremony began, some media predicted that Rong Xia had the greatest chance of successfully sealing the title this time.
There's no way around it, the album's completion and evaluation last year were quite high.
And with the new album, it has become popular and gained many young fans in their teens and twenties.
Rong Xia at the scene was so excited that her face burst into tears.
Rong Xia was actually very popular when she was in her twenties, and was a well-established first-line singer in the industry.
She has never won the Best Female Singer. She has been shortlisted several times and lost to other people of the same period. She is nicknamed half a singer. There is definitely no problem with her ability.
I have been out of fashion for a while, and I am getting older. It is indeed quite inspiring to be able to become famous again and win the title of Diva at the age of thirty-nine this year.
Xu Kong did not pay attention to these, but looked at Su Zhi beside him as soon as the results were announced.
"Are you okay?"
Su Zhi herself is much calmer than Xu Kong imagined.
Shaked his head.
She was not surprised by the results.
"Teacher Rong Xia really deserves this award more than me."
Su Zhi didn't feel it at first, but after Xu Kong accidentally enlightened her, she realized that her new album was too similar to most of her previous songs.
It looks like a lot of effort has been put into it, but in reality not much progress has been made.
So she didn't have high hopes for winning the award.
The reason why Su Zhi came so solemnly this time was because Xu Kong asked her if she could be his red carpet companion.
Mainly just to accompany Xu Kong.
"Don't worry, I'll help you make an album next year, and I'll pick it up then."
In the end, Xu Kong couldn't bear it anymore and whispered something in Su Zhi's ear.
Even Su Zhi, who was quite emotionally stable, after listening to Xu Kong's words, stared at him quite seriously and asked:
"Are you serious?"
Xu Kong nodded.
Then he leaned into Su Zhi’s ear and said:
"After all, you are talking about my lover, so I have to give you some maintenance money, right?"
Su Zhi nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked:
"Then will the reward I give you increase?"
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment, and then realized what the reward was.
"How else can this thing be increased?"
He inevitably thought of some postures that he wanted to try but never had time to practice on Su Zhi.
After Su Zhi heard Xu Kong's words, she really started to think.
"I need to go back and study it."
Ever since he made a joke when awarding the Best Single Award just now, Bai Mintao's expression didn't look very good.
Mainly, he really thinks that the best single must be his. He has been to so many Chinese music festivals and thinks that no one understands the organizers of music festivals better than him.
Who knew that this year we would not follow the original routine at all.
"Have you won four awards?"
Seeing Xu Kong casually placing the four trophies piled high at his feet because he felt troublesome, Bai Mintao found it hard not to be jealous.
He has participated in so many music festivals, but the total number of trophies he received in total is not as many as that of a newcomer who participated for the first time?
Who else can have a balanced mind?
Of course, although he had lost his composure just now, Bai Mintao soon found a reason to comfort himself.
Xu Kong won four of the four mentions, which also proves that the next Best Male Singer of the Year has nothing to do with him.
As long as the honor of being the king of singers can be secured, the rest is not that important.
The best single of the year was given up to him.
While Bai Mintao was thinking a lot, it was finally time to announce the best male singer of the year.
"Best Male Singer of the Year, the nominees are."
"Xukong"
"Pu Fu"
"Bai Mintao"
"She Huaning"
There are only four people in total. In fact, according to the predictions of various media before the award ceremony, Bai Mintao is indeed the singer with the greatest chance of winning.
Xu Kong was mentioned out of the four mentioned above, and most people thought that he might not have a chance to win the final Best Male Singer of the Year.
Even Pu Fu, another first-line singer, successfully won an award such as Album of the Year.
The final award will fall to Bai Mintao and another shortlisted singer She Huaning.
She Huaning himself is a veteran singer. He is still very productive in his fifties. He has already won various honors, so he probably won't care too much about such an award.
So after a final analysis, I feel that Bai Mintao, who has been the king of singers for so many years, will probably get his wish this year.
Fat Bird's own guess was recognized by most of the viewers in the live broadcast room.
Although it has been overturned twice in a row, anyone who has a little knowledge of the domestic music scene and Chinese music festivals will know that Fat Bird's analysis is still very reasonable.
It was really unexpected that Xu Kong could win the Best Composer and Best Single in a row before, but the nickname of Duanshui Festival is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And it has been scolded for so many years, but the organizer has not seen any change.
The disadvantage is that it sometimes feels unfair to the audience. The advantage is that it can almost take into account most of the powerful singers and musicians in the Chinese music scene.
Only this time, it seems that the organizers of the Chinese Music Festival are determined to break the outside world's inherent perception of them.
"Best Male Singer of the Year!"
"The winner is."
When they saw the names in the envelope in their hands, the two guests who had not seen it in advance were obviously stunned for a second.
However, their excellent professionalism allowed them to adjust quickly.
They looked at each other and announced to the camera together this time:
"Xukong!"
"Congratulations!"
The scene was quiet for two seconds, and then there was violent applause and cheers.
As for the live broadcast room at the moment, whether it is the official one or Fat Bird's personal live broadcast room, netizens have been completely blown away. "What happened? Xu Kong was the winner in the end?"
"Something's wrong, 100 percent wrong. Is this the water-draining ceremony I'm familiar with?"
"This year's organizer seems determined to make a big deal! They actually gave it to Xu Kong!"
"Damn it, isn't this the birth of the youngest singer in the Chinese music world?"
"The king of singing under the age of twenty! How crazy!"
Not to mention that the audience was surprised, even some media reporters who had been waiting for the final result were completely stunned at this moment.
No, we didn’t prepare a draft for Xu Kong’s award!
From before the awards began, no one thought Xu Kong could win the award.
After all, not to mention other things, he debuted less than two years ago and is not even twenty years old yet. If he really became the king of singers, would it be a bit exaggerated? ! !
So from the beginning, most reporters felt it was unnecessary and simply wrote about the other three shortlisted people, thinking of being lazy. After all, Xu Kong's award-winning manuscript would most likely not be used.
Who would have known that the music festival, with no regard for martial ethics, would actually award the best male singer to Xu Kong.
Play naked and sneak attack!
Some media outlets that have reacted have begun writing new articles non-stop.
Xu Kong won all the five awards that he was shortlisted for tonight, and even won the Best Male Singer, making him the youngest singer in the history of the Chinese music industry.
Any one of these pieces of news is quite explosive, let alone all at the same time.
This wave of heat is definitely going to explode. If it slows down a little, I won't even be able to drink the soup by then.
The second time, already the second time.
Bai Mintao's smile froze on his face.
The last second he was thinking about preparing his acceptance speech for who knows how many years.
The next second, I heard that devil-like name.
Xu Kong, Xu Kong again!
The familiar song "Qili Xiang" played for the fourth time tonight.
Bai Mintao felt that his mind was blank.
Of course, the smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts.
After hearing Xu Kong's name, even Su Zhi, whose expression had not changed all year round, showed a faint smile at this moment.
Except for Bai Mintao, the other two shortlisted people also started to smile and congratulate Xu Kong after they reacted.
Mainly, they never thought they would win the award.
Pu Fu won the best album of the year today. For him, he has achieved his goal and the trip was worthwhile.
Another veteran singer, She Huaning, has long since stopped caring about these awards. She won them twice when she was young, and she has long looked down upon them at this age.
The reason why I came to participate was just to give face to the organizer and also to join in the fun. After all, in the Chinese music world, except for the presentation of the three major awards, it is probably difficult to gather so many musicians.
In the end, it seemed that only Bai Mintao was injured.
"Congratulations!"
The award given to Xu Kong is also a veteran in the music industry, but he has been banned for a long time.
Although he is not the king of singing, his status and popularity in the circle are very high.
Mainly because of the time when the other party was active, even the Chinese music festival had not yet officially started.
"Thank you, teacher."
He politely accepted the trophy. At this time, Xu Kong's biggest feeling was not happiness and excitement, but a headache.
Mainly because no matter how good he was at editing, he never expected that he would actually win all five shortlisted awards, and he would have to give his acceptance speech five times!
No matter how good he was at making it up, Xu Kong still ran out of words when he talked about it for the fifth time.
It was inevitable that I would repeat some of the clichés from my previous acceptance speeches.
"Hahahaha, it can be seen that Xu Kong was really speechless in his acceptance speech."
"Which good person needs to prepare five sets of acceptance speeches?"
"I guess Xu Kong himself didn't expect that he would win all the five awards he was shortlisted for this time."
Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Fat Bird couldn't help but want to laugh at this time.
Although he was indeed slapped in the face several times in a row, Xu Kong was able to win five out of five this time, which undoubtedly provided him with video material and forums for a period of time.
"Brothers, I really don't want to be Xu Chui!"
"The main thing is that this guy is really a bit too fierce."
"From being a top idol at the beginning, in less than half a year, he has become the youngest singer in the music industry."
"What can I do?"
Fat Bird smiled and said.
Ever since he started to take the initiative to react to Xu Kong's various stage performances, and almost all of them were compliments, he was labeled as Xu Chui.
At the beginning, Fat Bird would retort a few words, but later he discovered that Xu Chui was pretty good, at least he didn't lack enthusiasm at all, and he didn't go against his true inner thoughts.
"It feels like Bai Mintao is really going to be broken."
"I feel a little distressed. I'll give you a best single after all. Why is it another year of no harvest?"
"Every year is the most promising year to win the Singing King, but in the end, I don't win every year. Don't tell me, Teacher Bai is almost becoming the new singing king."
Although when Xu Kong accepted the award later, the camera did not continue to cut to Bai Mintao.
But inevitably, after Xu Kong won the award, Bai Mintao's wonderful expression was hard not to be remembered.
It is estimated that even the emoticons will be released soon.
Xu Kong came off the stage after receiving the award and found that the trophies seemed to be endless.
He could only ask Su Zhi on the side to help him get two.
And this scene happened to be seen by Bai Mintao not far away.
What else could he do? He just snorted coldly and simply stood up and left early.
Subsequently, an award for special contribution was awarded.
The winner is a producer in his seventies. He is an industry veteran who is unknown to the public but has a high status. He has produced albums for many singers.
With the final touches from Bai Ziyang and another host, this Chinese music festival has come to an end.
It can be expected that this music festival will probably be the most talked-about one in recent years.
And when things have developed to this point, they are not over yet.
Bai Mintao left the venue early, but because he was too conspicuous, he was directly blocked by the media reporters stationed at the door.
"Teacher Bai, did you expect that you would not get the award this year?"
"Teacher Bai, Xu Kong has become the youngest singer at present. What do you have to say?"
"Teacher Bai, Teacher Bai"
Bai Mintao was already on the verge of an emotional outburst, but now he was being chased by the media and couldn't bear it anymore.
"Shady, pure shady!"
"I don't know what the organizer is thinking! It's totally unreasonable!"
"Xu Kong is a newcomer, how qualified is he to win an award and be the youngest singer?"
Bai Mintao burst into laughter, but at this moment the reporters' eyes were shining.
Good guy, it seems that the popularity of this year’s music festival is really going to explode.
