Chapter 144 Single Year(1/2)
The award ceremony enters the first part.
The first award, the Popular Newcomer Award, has five finalists. The two newcomers who won the award both released a single and an album this year. The album sales exceeded gold, but were less than platinum.
The second award, the Popular Singer Award, has five finalists. One of the winners is a top second-tier artist and one is a mid-tier first-tier artist. Both of them released an album this year, with sales exceeding platinum. The album ranked first on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and recommended new songs through seven rounds.
, it stayed on the list for two or three weeks.
The third award, the Storm Group Award, was shortlisted for three groups. The winner was one of the few rock bands in the domestic music scene. This year they released an album with sales exceeding 600,000.
The fourth award, the Pioneer Award, has five finalists, and the winner is one male and female singer each.
These awards are considered appetizers and are called fringe awards.
Except for one singer from Huage Records, all the winners are from first-tier record companies.
It can also be understood as a kind of care from the organizer.
Only two of these award-winning singers sang live.
About half an hour later, after the appetizers, it was time to award the top ten classics.
The atmosphere in the singer area became obviously tense.
The Top Ten Classical Songs Award is the only award that can be won repeatedly. In theory, a singer can win all ten classics.
Of course, generally speaking, ten songs will be ten singers.
In the past ten awards ceremonies, there have only been four occasions when a singer has won awards for two songs at the same time, and the only time a singer has won awards for three songs at the same time.
And the singer who won awards for three songs at the same time is the king Yifu Guo.
In 1994, a single and an album were released.
The single plus the album's first and second hits ranked among the top ten classics.
The single is the theme song of a movie and sold 1.7 million copies in a single year.
The album sold nearly 400 gold copies in a single year, and the album was the number one and two hits, staying on the charts for eight and six weeks respectively.
The female host Zhang Qin invited the award guest, the deputy editor-in-chief of Daily Entertainment, to reveal the tenth place, "Indulgence" by the quasi-king Zhao Yongkang, which has been on the chart for four weeks. It has been nearly seven months since the album of the same name was released.
Sales exceeded 1.4 million.
Zhao Yongkang walked to the stage with the congratulations of other singers in the company and the cheers of the fans at the scene. He took the heavy trophy and gave the usual thank you speech in his acceptance speech: "Thank you to the Billboard, thank you to Beka Records, thank you to Magic City TV Station...
.”
Beka Records is also one of the five giants. It was once very popular in the 1980s, but began to decline gradually in the 1990s. Now the company has many first-line singers, but none of them exceed the first-line.
Not long ago, Zhao Yongkang was named the Quasi King, precisely because the company was eager to promote a King.
This puts a lot of pressure on Zhao Yongkang. As a top-tier player, his popularity is still lower than that of Ning Lan back then.
Therefore, being able to win this award is very important to him, and it is an affirmation of his title of quasi-king.
He seemed a little excited. After thanking the fans, he specifically mentioned his producer, Mr. Huang Wenhua, calling Huang Wenhua his teacher.
At the location of Becca Records, a slightly thin middle-aged man was smiling, applauding, and waving towards the live camera.
After Zhao Yongkang, the ninth place was announced, Queen Murphy's "Erased Love", which stayed on the chart for five weeks and briefly topped the list for a week. It has been nearly 9 months since the album of the same name was released, with sales exceeding 220
Ten thousand.
The second hit of her album also stayed on the chart for five weeks, ranking slightly lower than the first hit. It was also shortlisted for the top ten songs. However, as the award for the first hit was settled, it also meant that,
The second major hit didn't have the chance to win the award at the same time.
She is the first sister of Niso Records and the first sister of the Chinese music industry. She won the Top Ten Songs Award for the ninth time. Since the start of the award ceremony, she received the most intense applause and cheers. She stepped on the stage and gave her acceptance speech.
It was brief, specifically naming Dou Song, the songwriter and songwriter of the song, saying Dou Song was his mentor and helpful friend.
Murphy has other award nominations coming up, so he will not sing for the time being. After Zhao Yongkang sang, the male host Cheng Feng invited the presenter, the deputy editor-in-chief of Entertainment Express, to continue to announce the eighth song.
"Short Hair"!
Five months after its release, sales exceeded 1.3 million. Although it peaked at No. 4 on the charts, it stayed there for seven weeks.
Xu Qiaoling had a surprised look on her face, and while other Daishi Records singers congratulated her, there was a touch of envy and emotion in their eyes.
They knew in their hearts that Xu Qiaoling was going to create the history of Daishi Records!
Because Xu Qiaoling's song is most likely to win the top ten classics, it is the first hit of the new album, and it has topped the charts for three weeks in a row.
Previously, only four singers from Daishi Records had won the Top Ten Music Awards, and each of them had one song.
Now that Xu Qiaoling has been named the Inspirational Little Queen, her status in the company is exactly the same as that of Deng Yaxuan, and even slightly higher. At this moment, Deng Yaxuan's eyes are particularly complicated, just like her heart.
She also had a song shortlisted, but she knew that the chance of winning was very low because it only stayed on the two charts for three days and the ranking was not very high.
Deng Yaxuan thinks that she is better than Xu Qiaoling in terms of voice condition and image.
Xu Qiaoling was able to transform from an ugly duckling into a little swan in just half a year.
The praise from Daishi Records was only secondary. The key was that there was a big hand behind Xu Qiaoling that forcefully lifted her up.
Involuntarily, she glanced towards Time Records, and after a moment, she glanced at the five giants in the guest area, her eyes flickering slightly.
It was the first time that Xu Qiaoling went on stage to receive an award. It was one of the two most important award ceremonies in the domestic music scene. She held the trophy in her hand and did not show any timidity when she spoke. She thanked the organizer, the TV station, the record company, and the production.
After thanking a lot of people, she also thanked her fans.
She thought it was going to be over, but it didn't. She raised the trophy in her hand, raised her voice, but it was not harsh at all, and said sonorously: "Finally, I would also like to thank the songwriter of the song "Short Hair", Li Kai.
Without him, I wouldn't be able to stand here...Brother Kai, thank you, thank you."
Then, a very interesting scene happened.
Almost everyone in the circle knew who Li Fan was. In the singer area and the guest area, many people looked sideways and looked at Li Fan.
But the live broadcast footage was given to the guest area. He paused for a few seconds and then turned to Li Fan.
By convention, in a singer's speech, he will mention a person to whom he is grateful, be it a producer, a songwriter, or a certain leader. When these people attend the award ceremony, they almost always sit in the guest area.
Therefore, the close-ups provided by the camera are almost inertial. If Xu Qiaoling hadn't waved to the singer area, it is estimated that the correction would have been longer, or even the mistake would have been made.
Li Huan smiled and clapped his hands there, and the applause suddenly started, accompanied by several screams of "Li Huan, Huan Huan".
The combined popularity of Xu Qiaoling's fans and Li Fan's fans directly overshadowed Zhao Yongkang, even compared to Murphy.
After Xu Qiaoling, the seventh place was announced, Tao Liang's "Love Across a World", which was released six months ago and sold more than 1.4 million. Although the sales volume is not very outstanding, the number one hit is still on the charts.
eight weeks.
After Tao Liang jumped from Dime Records to Snow, with this album, although it has not really reached the first-tier standard, the price quoted by the performance company is already at the mid-tier level of the first-tier album.
Tao Liang is also highly praised by the company, and they want to push him to the top or even beyond the front line.
Xu Qiaoling is still shortlisted for awards, but she has not performed any singing for the time being. Tao Liang has sung one song, and then changed to the female host Zhang Qin. The guest presenter, the editor-in-chief of the Entertainment Online Newspaper, announced the sixth song, "May You Live Longer"
》.
It has been on the market for a little more than three months, with sales exceeding 1.4 million. It stayed on the charts for ten weeks, and its highest ranking was No. 2.
Ning Lan's face showed joy, knowing that this was the only award she was expected to win tonight. Now she got her wish and got the sixth place.
After walking on the stage and receiving the trophy, Ning Lan looked calm and composed. After the usual thank you, she cast her eyes in the same direction as Xu Qiaoling. Her tone was unpleasant but her words were clear and authentic: "Finally, I would also like to thank "May You Live Longer"
The songwriter of this song, Li Kai, is my luck to meet you when my career is at its lowest point. Thank you, thank you, my destined person, Li Kai."
Ning Lan also called Li Fan a noble man, this...
Ning Lan is a quasi-diva, with two platinum albums to her name, one of which is just tens of thousands shy of becoming double platinum.
More than three years ago, the platinum gold nearly four years ago is comparable to the current double platinum. The double platinum back then is comparable to the current triple platinum. This is the default in the circle.
Even when Ning Lan was at her lowest point, Li Huan helped her out. It was just a song, so she wouldn't be called a destined person.
In the music circle, there are not many examples of people calling someone a hit person. Singers usually call songwriters or producers, but almost all of them have a relationship that brings them fame.
In the guest area, many people looked surprised. Several senior executives and producers of Snow Rolling Records, etc., had unsightly expressions on their faces.
In the singer area, there were also many singers who looked surprised. A sneer flashed at the corner of Su Yaqing's mouth, and she covered her mouth and whispered a few words to a female singer next to her. A trace of disdain flashed through her bright eyes.
Li Kai was also slightly surprised. It would not be surprising if Xu Qiaoling called him a destined person. In private, Xu Qiaoling had already said that Xu Qiaoling's two albums so far feature his works. Everyone in the circle knows that
, it was he who single-handedly made Xu Qiaoling famous.
But Ning Lan is worthy of being a noble person, so this weight is heavy.
Ning Lan put him above all the people who had "helped" her after she entered the circle.
Saying such words in public at such a prestigious award ceremony is not just for show. Just like her title of quasi-diva, she cannot take it back.
But doubts remained doubts, and the applause sounded as expected.
Li Kai's fans are extremely excited. Li Kai has not won the award yet, but he has been mentioned twice. This is Li Kai's honor, and they cannot be more honored.
Coupled with Ning Lan's fans, this wave of on-site reactions was even greater than Xu Qiaoling's before.
After Ning Lan, the fifth place was announced again, Guo Yifu's "Fiery Heart", which stayed on the scene for seven weeks and won the top spot for two weeks. The album of the same name was released at the end of June. It has sold nearly 1.8 million copies in more than six months.
Guo Tianwang's appearance on the stage aroused a round of applause and cheers that matched those of Murphy. He gave a brief speech and finally thanked his producer, Liao Huadong.
Liao Huadong has been Guo Tianwang's producer since his second year in the industry, and it has been nine years now.
To be continued...
