Chapter 538: Li Zhang's Contribution to the Chinese Music World(1/2)
All Beka singers were silent. Their faces felt so hot that they couldn't even hold on to their fake smiles.
Among the first 4 of the top ten classics, only one is a work by Li Fan. Who would have thought that the next 6 songs would be all-inclusive.
Among the top ten classical music awards, one songwriter's works account for 7, which is unprecedented in the two awards ceremonies.
A new record was born.
The previous record only accounted for half of the country, and was created by the godfather of music in the 1980s. Last year, Li Kai tied this record, but this year, he improved this record by two songs.
Don't underestimate the improvement of these two songs. They represent two levels. The difficulty is no less than that of a first-tier singer, reaching the top of the first-tier, and climbing to the quasi-super first-tier, or even beyond the first-tier.
You must know that award ceremonies and sales charts are different. The latter is iron-clad data. If you sell one more record than others, your ranking will be higher than others. The former is a comprehensive data evaluation, and there is a very important point in it.
The default rule is to avoid duplication of singers, duplication of songwriters' works, and duplication of record companies as much as possible when the gap is not large...
Taking the top ten classic music awards as an example, a single singer is basically capped at two songs, a single songwriter is basically capped at three songs, and a single record company is basically capped at four songs.
If you want to break through, unless the advantages of comprehensive evaluation data are too obvious.
It is precisely because they know that such a default rule exists that the Beka singers and Hua Can singers argue endlessly and do not buy each other's opinions.
According to their judgment, regardless of the fact that 13 of Li Fan's works were shortlisted for the top ten classical music awards, it is certain to break the default rules, but if it is exhausted, it will only win 5 works like last year.
For two consecutive years at the Billboard Awards Ceremony, the top ten songs have occupied half of the list. This is already a record and an unprecedented surprise.
Among the 20 shortlisted songs, the remaining 7 were shortlisted. Except for Liu Mingliang's song, the rest were all composed by Luo Yusheng, and 4 of them were definitely winners.
There is only one song difference between them. Luo Yusheng has been in the industry for 6 years and has much more seniority than Li Fan. This is a very important factor in the selection of the Best Songwriter Award.
In addition, there are two separate awards for lyricists and composers, and there is a high probability that the winners will not overlap. That is, Li Kai and Luo Yusheng will each get one.
If one person really wants to do it all, the probability of Luo Yusheng is higher than that of Li Fan.
It has to be said that their judgment was not groundless speculation, but the cold facts told them that they were wrong.
As the award-winning songs were announced one after another, in fact, some of them had already woken up. They were somewhat blinded by the first part of the awards and their position.
In the history of the domestic music scene, which album has sold triple platinum, which one was not among the top ten classic songs at the awards ceremony on both charts?
Last year, 9 albums featuring Li Fan's works achieved triple platinum sales or above.
Mainly featuring Luo Yusheng's works, there is only one piece.
Tan Guangyue's album featured "Heart Is Too Soft", and Four Dog Days' album featured "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", but it was unprecedented that they failed to win the top ten classic music awards.
To put it bluntly, this is an awards ceremony that takes the default rules to the extreme!
As for the 7 winning songs, the albums included in them all achieved platinum sales in a single month, and each of them has reached the top of the charts and stayed on the charts for more than a month and a half.
They are all classics among classics. If they don't win, not to mention the fans not agreeing, even the industry will question the credibility of the Billboard Awards Ceremony.
Therefore, facing the three reeds sung by Lin Yue and the three Hua Can singers, and the sneer looks of the Hua Can singers, the Beka singers were far less ashamed than ashamed, compared to the humiliation in their hearts.
On the other side, in the area where the record company personnel were, Luo Yusheng's assistant also wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. The glances directed at him from all directions felt like thorns. From the corner of his eye, he saw the young man on the left and the young man on the right.
The girl looked forward seriously, which seemed to him to be purposely not to embarrass him, which made him even more embarrassed.
But in fact, given his status, if he yells in public, no matter how unflattering he is, others will treat it as a shameless joke, and it will be forgotten long ago...
On the stage, Ning Lan held the trophy that could be held with one hand, but it still felt heavy.
Counting the more than two years since she retired, she has been in the industry for 11 years. She has won more than 20 awards at the two awards ceremonies, but she only lacked two of the most important trophies.
One, the annual classic song award for the top ten classic songs, and the second, the most popular female singer award.
These two awards are like the NBA scoring champion award and the finals championship.
Many NBA superstars, even inducted into the Hall of Fame, missed out on these two trophies during their glorious careers.
The regret can be imagined.
Tonight, at this moment, Ning Lan finally made up for one of the two major regrets in her career as a singer.
Ning Lan wiped the reddish corners of her eyes and suppressed her excitement and said: "Since my debut in 1987, it is still 5 months away from the full 11 years. I have won many awards, but I have never won the Top Ten Songs of the Year award.
Music Award, it is your perseverance that has allowed me to realize this dream. Thank you, my dear fans..."
Speaking of this, his voice became choked, but his face bloomed with a lily-like smile, and he raised the trophy above his head with both hands.
The scene was filled with cheers.
"Ninglan, Ninglan, Ninglan..."
Countless arms were seen waving in the stands, and no less than two thousand fans chanted Ninglan's name in unison. The sound was like a mountain collapsing and the earth was cracking, deafening!
The shouting lasted for a long time, and then gradually died down. Ning Lan also adjusted her mood. The next thanks for winning the award were similar, and finally she thanked Li Kai, the songwriter of the song "Human World".
I didn't emphasize it too much, because there was no need. I just said it and waved towards the singer area.
After the top ten classical music awards were awarded, Murphy took the stage as a guest singer to sing the award-winning classical song "Floating", which also made everyone in the circle smell an unusual meaning.
According to the default rules of the award ceremony, the singer must win the award, and the singer who performs at the same time will win the most important award.
The weight of the top ten classics may not be as good as some of the awards in the third part, but it is definitely lower than the most popular female singer award.
In other words, Murphy's early appearance on stage basically announced that the winner of the Most Popular Female Singer Award at last year's Billboard Awards Ceremony had no hope of defending her title.
After Murphy's performance, we entered the third part of the awards ceremony.
The first awards were the Best New Group Award, Best New Female Singer Award, and Best New Male Singer Award.
For the Best Newcomer Group Award, four male and female groups were shortlisted. Unsurprisingly, the winner was Future Girls.
With just one record, he quickly jumped from newcomer to queen, setting a precedent in the domestic music scene. Even though the Tidal Group's first album was awarded double platinum by default, and the youthful charm of their first single was awarded platinum by default, they can only be surpassed. .
There were 5 nominees for the Best New Female Singer Award, including He Jingyun, but the winner was Nie Lanxin.
It was not a surprise to insiders, and only a small number of the fans at the scene booed dissatisfiedly. Everyone knows that this year’s two award ceremonies have specially appointed the Rookie King, since Future Girls has already won the Best Newcomer Group Award , it is already self-evident who the new king is.
The opponent that Nie Lanxin really defeated was Shen Jing. Although the latter's full-month album sales were higher than the former's, due to the update of the singer's level, it only climbed to the top line.
But the former is the first line that is guaranteed to be fake.
There were 5 nominees for Best New Male Singer, and the winner was Liang Qiumo.
With a single that ranks third in sales in the history of the domestic music scene, and an album that is certified triple platinum, he truly deserves the title!
As a guest singer, Liang Qiumo sang not the award-winning sutra, but the album's first hit, "Love is Like Tide."
Then the Best Lyricist Award, Best Composer Award, Best Group Award, Best Band Award, and Popular Singer Award were announced.
The latter two are new awards this year, but the Best Newcomer Lyricist and Composer awards have been cancelled.
There were three finalists for the Best Songwriter Award. Before the announcement, the whole audience shouted out Li Fan's name.
Originally, it would have been good if half of the fans at the scene knew the identity of Li Kai as the songwriter. But now that the award ceremony is going on, nearly ten popular singers have thanked Li Kai more than a dozen times. It is impossible to even think about it.
Among the top ten classics, Li Kai's works account for 7 of them. Who else is the best songwriter?
In the singer area, all the singers of Beka Records were silent, sighing secretly. To put it bluntly, if the winner announced in such a scene was not Li Fan, I am afraid that the winner would be booed to death by the fans, and the Billboard would be scolded to death by the fans. !
Originally, they were hoping that Luo Yusheng would win the award, but at this time, they were thinking that the organizers must not be stupid and award the award to Luo Yusheng, which would make the latter a target of public criticism and put them on the fire.
Facts have proved that the organizers were not guilty, and the winner was Li Fu.
The Best Composer Award, no surprise, goes to Li Kai.
For the Best Band Award, three bands were shortlisted, Dog Days Band, Sunshine Band, and Lightyear Band. Before the announcement, the voices of the three bands were almost the same.
The winner was finally announced, Dog Days Band.
For the Best Group Award, 3 groups were shortlisted. There is no suspense. The winner is Future Girl.
For the Fengyun Singer Award, 5 singers were shortlisted, and the winner was Tan Guangyue.
As a guest singer, Future Girl took the stage to sing the award-winning song "spuer star".
The three girls Lin Yue ignited the scene with their youthful and passionate singing, and at the same time served as a perfect preparation for several of the most important awards in the finale.
Next, the highlight will be the Newcomer Award, Most Popular Female Singer Award, and Most Popular Male Singer Award.
For the Newcomer Award, although there were two male, one female and one girl groups shortlisted, the result was as expected by all insiders, and the winner was none other than He Jingyun.
Two albums were released last year, one with a default of 400 gold medals and the other with a default of almost 500 gold medals. Such achievements are enough to aspire to be the number one newcomer in the history of the domestic music scene.
For the Most Popular Female Singer Award, 6 people were shortlisted, Ning Lan, He Jingyun, Xu Qiaoling, Future Girl, Murphy, Su Yaqing, six major queens in the domestic music scene.
The final winner is Ning Lan!
After being successfully awarded with an album that was almost 400 gold medals by default, he also aspired to the domestic music scene with an album that was almost 5 and a half platinum gold medals by default.
After 11 years of singing career, Ning Lan finally realized her dream.
I only won two awards tonight, but they are the two most important awards for domestic female singers. I made up for the two major regrets.
For the Most Popular Male Singer Award, 4 people were shortlisted, Liu Mingliang, Guo Yifu, Li Jie, the three veteran kings, plus Li Kai.
The most important winner is Li Kai!
There was only one album released last year, but it was the best-selling album by a male singer, with a default gold price of 400 gold, and with a cumulative sales of 351 copies, it became the number one album in actual sales last year.
In addition, during the summer tour, Li Fan served as a guest singer many times, showing that his popularity is not inferior to the first-line.
According to the estimates of senior people in the industry, Li Kai's current popularity is probably not far behind that of Liu Mingliang.
