Lin Yi has recently participated in more important events than his own new car launch, but this time he is not the protagonist.
"Why did you think of coming with me to receive the award?"
"Didn't you say that the organizing committee has already hinted in advance that it will award the grand prize to you? I want to go and witness the important moments in your life."
"It's not very important. I already have two trophies for the Friendship Award at home."
"Yes, yes, you are the cube of the Queen of Heaven."
Classmate Gu Caiwei's expression was obviously disgusting. Lin Yi chose to cooperate without hesitation, which made her very happy, so she didn't care much about why Lin Yi suddenly thought of accompanying her to attend the award ceremony.
She has maintained the pace of releasing an album every year with high quality and quantity since 2019. She has been nominated every year, winning three out of three, plus the one she won collectively as a girl group, so this is her third trophy.
The odds are terrifying, and they basically dominate the market for female singers.
On the one hand, it is because after the decline of the recording industry, it has lost its ability to create stars and no new singers have emerged; on the other hand, it has no profitability, and even famous singers cannot make money by releasing songs.
As for those female anchors who are active on online platforms, they seem to have a lot of fans, but they either simply sing covers or create a few of their own songs that are despised by the industry.
They will never be able to become real female stars because they lack a professional music production team to provide work support and a complete set of systematic packaging from a brokerage company.
Gu Caiwei is different. She sings songs as a hobby and does not care about profit or loss. She is more pure than traditional singers and is more dimensionally reduced than online singers.
Therefore, against the backdrop of a declining market, she became the only "savior of the Chinese music scene" who was still singing seriously.
Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei walked hand in hand out of an extended courtesy car, and then walked along the paved red carpet to the interview area, murdering countless films along the way.
The host was surprised by Lin Yi's appearance.
Their relationship has been announced for three years. Anyone who pays attention to Gu Caiwei knows Lin Yi. In addition, Lin Yi's reputation as the "Mainland Iron Man" has become more and more famous in the past two years, and he is already a man of great influence.
But Lin Yi usually appears as a rich man, entrepreneur, and business person. This is his first time participating in an entertainment industry event with Gu Caiwei.
The host was very interested in him, made a grandiose introduction to the two, and then started the interview.
"Mr. Lin, we know that Vivian is a frequent attendee of the Friendship Awards and a strong contender for this year's Best Female Singer crown, but it seems like this is your first time here. Are you here to cheer her on?"
During the small scene, Lin Yi laughed and said: "I heard someone commented that Gu Caiwei is the biological daughter of the Zhiyin Award, so when I come here, it's like going home. Isn't it strange?"
"Hahaha, it's really like that!"
The host laughed a few times very cooperatively, making Lin Yi mistakenly think that his humor skills had improved, and then made a few more remarks before letting them go.
After entering the venue and taking their seats, they seemed to have been forgotten by the whole world, and Lin Yi was confused again.
"Although you said before that your popularity in the industry is not very good, but sitting down for a long time without anyone saying hello is too deserted, isn't it?"
Gu Caiwei complained: "I usually do, but today I guess it's because I saw you coming, so I didn't dare to come over."
Lin Yi was surprised: "Am I so scary?"
Gu Caiwei felt that this guy had no self-awareness: "What do you think?"
As the valuations of Pengcheng Automobile and Muse have risen, Lin Yi's net worth has also increased steadily in the past two years, and has already exceeded 10 billion US dollars.
However, his ranking on the rich list is not too high, and he himself does not want to be in the limelight.
When it comes to female celebrities finding rich boyfriends or marrying into rich families, Gu Caiwei is definitely not the only one, but there is really no comparison with Lin Yi's level.
According to some statistics, he is undoubtedly ranked first on the list of "the most valuable unmarried young men in the country" and is a real golden bachelor.
Moreover, it is really rare for such a top-tier rich man to actually appear at an event in the entertainment industry and sit in the guest box with Gu Caiwei.
In what capacity, family members?
The concept of superiority and inferiority in the entertainment industry is very strong. It would be fine if it were Gu Caiwei. The reason why no one comes to say hello now is because they feel that they are not qualified to be friends with Lin Yipan.
In short, under this dual atmosphere that seemed deserted but actually attracted much attention, the awards ceremony officially began.
Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to the previous small awards, and had never even heard of some of them, but Gu Caiwei came on stage to present an award midway through.
The big prizes are usually placed at the end, so they sat there for a long time.
"I announce that the winner of this year's Zhiyin Award for Best Female Singer is... Vivian! Let us congratulate her for winning this honor for the third time!"
In fact, Gu Caiwei has been acting under her real name since GIVE ME FIVE disbanded, but many people are still used to calling her by her debut stage name.
The cameras at the scene swept over in time.
Gu Caiwei's acting skills were average. She didn't try to hold back any expressions of surprise even though she knew what was going on in advance. She just hugged Lin Yi excitedly and went on stage with her heavy dress skirt in hand.
"Today is the third time I stand here."
"When I won the award for the first time, I thanked my teammates, the teachers who wrote lyrics and music for us, my agency, and the organizing committee. I know that it contains a lot of encouragement and expectations."
"When I won the award for the second time, I had grown into a real singer. I would like to thank my father and mother, all my family members, and my fans and friends who love me."
"Today, besides those, I also want to thank someone."
"He happens to be not far away. He is sitting in the audience at this moment. You should have seen him on the red carpet before."
The camera was focused again, and Lin Yi stood up to say hello gracefully, then turned back to Gu Caiwei on the stage, listening attentively.
"You may be curious, although he is great, what does it have to do with me winning the award?"
"It has a great relationship, because it is his protection that allows me to be free from all kinds of distractions and able to focus on the inspiration and creation of music."
"Also, I am able to engage in this job that I love because of his tolerance and support."
"Mr. Lin, thank you."
Gu Caiwei then said some words of thanks, but they had nothing to do with Lin Yi, so he was still immersed in the emotion just now.
Then she did not step off the stage immediately after receiving the award, because her performance was arranged immediately afterwards, and the song was the winning piece.
The organizing committee has made the best use of its staff. Gu Caiwei played the three roles of award presenter, award recipient and performing guest at the same time today. She can be called a model worker.
When Lin Yi listened to her singing in the audience, he felt warm and moved in his heart.
However, this may not be the case for others. For example, a competitor who lost the Queen's Award sadly smiled and applauded gracefully on the surface, but in reality he was mad with jealousy.
Damn it, you still show affection after winning an award, what kind of qualities do you have!
