Chapter 240 The Importance of Dry and Wet Separation
"Happy New Year!"
As the countdown ends, fireworks explode in the night sky.
Everyone in the square also began to say words of blessing to each other.
……
For Xu Kong, he actually doesn't have much feeling about similar festivals and so-called rituals.
But it's pretty good to be able to spend time like this with Su Zhi and the others.
There was no uncontrollable scene like he was worried about before, and Xu Kong was actually very satisfied.
Even he never thought that one day he would be able to see Su Zhi and Song Youyou in a relatively harmonious scene together.
What Xu Kong didn't know was that on the other side, on the way back, Song Youyou found Su Zhi with an anxious mood.
"Sister Su Zhi, how are you?"
Su Zhi still had the same cold expression that had not changed.
At this time, he just shook his head lightly and did not speak.
But this was an answer, and Song Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, after quickly reacting, he began to comfort the other person.
……
That's right, the reason why Su Zhi was able to ask Song Youyou to help her create opportunities to be alone with Xu Kong.
The reason used was that she was planning to confess her love to Xu Kong on New Year's Eve.
Song Youyou subconsciously wanted to refuse at first.
But she finally agreed. After all, she actually wanted to know the answer.
Although Su Zhi looked "sad", the news was a good thing for Song Youyou.
This last move completely dispelled Song Youyou's last worry.
I have to say that although Su Zhi's little tricks seem a little clumsy.
But Youyou, a little girl with no experience, is already enough.
……
"Brother Xu Kong, don't be too indifferent to Sister Su Zhi..."
"But don't be too enthusiastic, just keep it the way you were before."
After comforting Su Zhi, Song Youyou went to Xu Kong and gave him some advice.
Xu Kong naturally agreed with a complicated expression.
I have to say that although Youyou is very possessive, she is still kind and sensible.
There is a sense of stupidity and sweetness in helping people count money after being cheated.
But for Xu Kong, at least this way of handling it can be regarded as temporarily overcoming the New Year's Eve crisis.
It can be said that it has almost nothing to do with him.
It was all Su Zhi's own plan.
……
As for Shang Yuxin, Su Zhi didn't pay much attention at all.
Both of them maintained the tacit understanding they had at the beginning.
Xu Kong was quite confused before.
But now, I just look away and take it one step at a time.
There is no other better way.
……
As Song Youyou and Su Zhi left one after another, the filming of "Sweet Honey" returned to normal filming.
But this New Year's Eve is indeed quite torturous for Xu Kong.
Because they were followed by three people the whole time, there was no chance to be alone together.
So it was perfect for Xu Kong to experience what it means to be able to see but not eat.
The key point is that neither Youyou nor Su Zhi have peaceful and honest characters.
During this period, whenever there was an opportunity, Xu Kong would be attacked suddenly, but he only had a brief taste of it, and there was no way to communicate in depth.
So after the two left, the sins they had committed could only be redeemed by Shang Green Tea.
The key is that the opponent doesn't have the same strong recovery ability as Su Zhi.
It set a record for the most surrenders Xu Kong received in one day.
……
In the past week of the New Year, all filming of "Sweet Honey" in Hong Kong City has been completed.
After the crew cleaned up and prepared, all that was left was a small portion of the final overseas scenes.
Generally speaking, the filming of the entire movie is almost in the final stage, and it is estimated that it will be completed within this month before the New Year.
However, before Xu Kong goes abroad to shoot the last part of the scene, he still has some things that have not been completed yet.
Mainly it’s the recording issue on the “Singer” side.
Although Wu Youxue also said before that he can decide how many episodes of the program to participate in based on his own schedule.
But we can’t really stop participating and just wait for the finals, right?
So before going abroad to shoot the last part, I must take time to participate in one episode of the "Singer" program.
But the most important thing is that last year’s shortlist for the three major music awards was announced.
……
"Damn it, are you really shortlisted for all three major awards?"
"It's normal to be shortlisted. If Su Zhi's "Su Xu" this year is not included in the best album, it will make your own authority questionable."
"It feels like it's not the album "Su Xu" that needs their awards now, but "Su Xu" that needs them to prove the gold content of the three major awards."
Online, when the specific shortlists for the three major awards were announced, the popularity quickly rose, triggering discussions among many netizens.
The one that attracted the most attention was, of course, "Su Xu", which was nominated for the best album among the three major awards.
Almost all the songs in the entire album of "Su Xu" can be ranked at the top of this year's singles.
It is no exaggeration to say that it has almost maintained the exaggerated level of the first hit model.
And even if the market feedback is good, it also has quite high ratings among some professional music critics, music fans and ordinary listeners.
It can be said that shortlisting is certain.
What everyone is concerned about is nothing more than how many awards this album can win in the end and whether it can break the previous record.
The person who had the most awards for an album before was a certain veteran singer from Hong Kong who had passed away.
Among the three major awards, a total of eleven trophies were won.
This time, "Su Xu" includes various awards such as Best Album, Best Female Singer, and Best Single. It is estimated that it has been shortlisted for more than twenty awards.
Such results are undoubtedly data that shock ordinary netizens and colleagues.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that this year's three major awards seemed to have an appointment, and the shortlists were announced at almost the same time.
If they were separated, people would not have such an intuitive feeling.
But in recent years, or even within ten years, it will definitely be unique.
……
“It’s not unprecedented, nor is it unprecedented.”
"However, such achievements are definitely quite exaggerated."
In Fat Bird's live broadcast room, he himself looked a little high-spirited at this time.
It's not because Su Zhi's new album was shortlisted for so many awards.
After all, the quality of the album is there. This has already been predicted by most music critics or media before.
The main reason is that Fat Bird, an Internet celebrity who started his career through critical reviews, actually received an official invitation from the Chinese Music Media Awards, one of the three major awards in the country.
Although he is just an ordinary audience, he was invited to participate. Apart from some traditional music critics, he is probably the first music self-media person in the streaming media era.
"I don't know if the record can be broken, but no one will be able to shake it in a short time..."
Fat Bird just said something, and soon saw the barrage mentioning what if Xu Kong released a new album?
So he quickly took back what he just said. "If Xu Kong releases a new album within three years..."
"Then just pretend that I didn't say what I just said."
In the past, it was estimated that some viewers in the live broadcast room would soon stand up and object.
But now, everyone takes it for granted.
In the current Chinese music scene, if there is another new album of the caliber of "Su Xu", it seems that only Xu Kong will be left.
……
It is worth mentioning that Xu Kong did not release many new songs last year.
And most of it is the soundtrack for the series.
So this time, he was not nominated for the best male singer in the three major awards.
However, there are still quite a few behind-the-scenes awards.
For example, for best lyrics, best composition, best album production, etc., although the attention is not particularly high, the level of recognition in the industry is indeed quite terrifying.
Especially for the Best Album Producer award, almost all the winners are music director-level people from various companies.
Excellent album producers are even rarer than singers.
Not to mention awards for writing lyrics and music, which in themselves represent the creative ability of the songwriter.
The current Xu Kong can almost represent the level of the best new songwriters in the Chinese music scene.
Compared to singers, the identities of songwriters and album producers are more valuable.
After all, there are quite a few new singers with excellent voices and even talents emerging almost every year.
But it is quite rare to find songwriters who are worth cultivating and have creative talent and market acumen.
If Xu Kong wasn't already very famous, and everyone knew that Feng Ge was unlikely to let him go, a big company like Jiying might have already started spending money to poach people.
……
But even so, Xu Kong was indeed affected to a certain extent by the companies shortlisted for the three major awards.
I don't even know who found his contact information.
He directly bypassed Zhu Yu as his manager and personally offered him a sky-high price to invite him to sing, or seek cooperation.
Even Xu Kong was quite helpless, although he had rejected quite a few people.
There are many people who come here to find connections.
But every time a similar situation occurs, there will still be a large number of persevering people.
The key is that Xu Kong has completely passed the stage where he needs to make money by selling songs.
But the better thing is that Xu Kong is a newcomer after all. Strictly speaking, there are not that many "acquaintances" or "old friends" in the current circle.
He grew up so fast that he hardly owed much favors.
Otherwise, in this circle, there is often no way to reject them all.
……
After Su Zhi was shortlisted, she acted quite calmly.
Although she won the Singer King when she first debuted, she has almost never appeared on the podium of the three major awards.
Even last year, they were all shortlisted and did not win any awards.
But after listening to all the songs in the album produced by Xu Kong, Su Zhi had actually guessed that such a day would come.
Especially with the release of the song becoming a hit and the concert becoming overcrowded, I became even more certain.
On the contrary, when this day came, I was no longer so excited.
But now they are only shortlisted, so it is not suitable to open champagne at half time.
So Xu Kong didn't say anything about celebrating in advance.
Just taking the opportunity to attend the award ceremony, I had the opportunity to meet Su Zhi again.
……
"Do you always talk so much?"
In a hotel in Shanghai, Xu Kong and Su Zhi, who were attending the Chinese Music Media Awards, had the opportunity to meet again.
"It seems..."
Xu Kong said with some uncertainty.
However, he could also guess some, probably after experiencing the story template specially prepared by Su Zhi for the other party.
Song Youyou often chats with Su Zhi.
Su Zhi herself doesn't like chatting with others online, even Xu Kong is no exception.
He knew this.
So it's possible that some people can't stand the overly enthusiastic and active Song Youyou.
……
"Youyou and I told you that the three of us can be together someday when we have time..."
Su Zhi suddenly said something.
Xu Kong was obviously stunned after hearing this.
He always felt that something was wrong. Has the chat between these two people reached this level?
However, Xu Kong soon realized that something was wrong. It was most likely that Su Zhi had deliberately lied to him.
Sure enough, Su Zhi was looking at him seriously at this time.
"You don't really think about it this way, do you?"
Xu Kong, realizing that he had fallen into the opponent's trap, quickly denied Sanlian.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
……
But it was obvious that Su Zhi had already seen through his thoughts at this time.
"I don't object."
Su Zhi said something first, and then added:
"If you can convince Song Youyou..."
Xu Kong just pretended not to hear.
When a woman makes tentative remarks like this, she is probably setting a trap waiting for you to jump into.
I didn't react at first, but now if I continue to follow the other person's words, I'm asking for trouble.
"I really didn't think about it!"
Xu Kong defended again.
……
But at this time, Su Zhi obviously didn't want to listen to his explanation anymore.
Last time, Su Zhi's trip to Hong Kong City was not completed because of Song Youyou.
Given the opportunity this time, it was naturally impossible to let it go.
Before Xu Kong could react, the other person had already exposed the collar and put it on his neck, and Xu Kong didn't notice it.
Xu Kong was used to the small and cute experience of Shang Green Tea, and suddenly experienced the turbulent waves of Shuiwa again. Xu Kong was a little uncomfortable for a while.
However, it seems that only Su Zhi can do this special project at present.
The eyes were flooded and resurfaced. The handcuffed hands were raised in surrender, but Su Zhi was still observing calmly.
……
It has to be said that Xu Kong was able to deal with Shang Yuxin, who had little actual combat experience, or Youyou, who had many tricks but didn't know how to use them, with ease.
Only in Su Zhi's case, she always fell into the sand and was forced to lose.
Of course, it also has something to do with Su Zhi's cold face that hardly changes.
In fact, it was Xu Kongxian who won.
It's just that the other party seemed too calm, so Xu Kong didn't feel much victory.
But fortunately Xu Kong had the foresight to book a double room this time.
After such a long period of understanding, I know the importance of dry and wet separation.
