On the award ceremony stage, Lao Lang held the card in his hand and spoke word by word.
"The [Best Male Singer] who won this year's China Chinese Music Golden Songs Chart is - Cao Xuan."
Bang bang bang~
Applause broke out. Cao Xuan, who had known the final result for a long time, exploded with acting skills. He stood up with a face of surprise and came to the center of the stage with congratulations from the surrounding guests.
I hugged Lao Lang and the host, received the trophy and certificate, and gave the speech I had prepared long ago according to the script.
"For getting this trophy, I want to thank... thank you... thank you... I will definitely keep up my efforts... thank you."
After delivering his speech, Cao Xuan returned to his seat, looked at his transparent trophy, and analyzed whether the material was crystal or glass.
On the other side, Master Cui, as a guest at the awards ceremony, awarded the [Best Female Singer] trophy to Wei Wei. Cao Xuan glanced at Naying, and his face looked a little stinky.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, there were about four people who could be called queens in the mainland pop music scene: Mao Amin, Tian Zhen, Wei Wei and Naying.
But later, Mao Amin's reputation was greatly damaged due to tax issues, and he rarely appeared in public in the past two years.
So at present, in the mainland music scene, Tian Zhen, Wei Wei and Na Ying are basically competing against each other. Occasionally, Sun Yue, Ye Bei, Chen Hong, Chen Ming and others make a dark horse counterattack.
The three empresses are at odds with each other.
Wei Wei and Tian Zhen are better. As for Naying, I haven't heard of any news that she is friendly with the other two, but she has a close relationship with Wang Fei.
Objectively speaking, considering last year's album performance and popularity, Naying is indeed the one with the best development momentum among the three.
As a result, she lost to Wei Wei. It's surprising that Naying was happy with her temper.
However, the organizer was also very good at playing tricks, and soon awarded Naying the title of "Most Popular Female Singer".
As for the "Most Popular Male Singer", it was Tu Honggang who became famous at the beginning of the year because of "Serving the Country". In addition, there was also the "Best Singer-Songwriter", which went to Pu Shu.
The classic awards ceremony is divided into pork...
After the award ceremony was over, Cao Xuan was not in a hurry to leave, so he kept in touch with colleagues in the industry.
Cao Xuan also wanted to talk to Pu Shu. He has always liked Pu Shu's songs. When filming the MV a few days ago, he played and sang "New Boy" from her new album to Hu Jing on the set.
"Does your old pocket watch still spin? Can your old leather shoes still wear? There is a Future cigarette here. Don't you want to try it..."
Among Pu Shu's songs, apart from "Those Flowers" and "Born Like Summer Flowers", Cao Xuan likes this one the most.
As for "The Ordinary Road", it has been included in Cao Xuan's must-copy notebooks, so naturally it has nothing to do with Pu Shu.
Ho... bah!
However, seeing the short, tight and greasy face next to Pu Shu, Cao Xuan gave up the idea and turned to congratulate Wei Wei.
It was rare to see Naying deflated, which made him feel a little happy.
………
The next day, the media published a lot of reports about this award ceremony, and the outside world generally recognized this award.
There is no way to deny it. At present, each of the more popular singers in the mainland is getting an award, so there is no topic to argue about.
In addition to the awards, many media have unanimously focused on the upcoming summer war.
Although this summer vacation is known as the battle between immortals and Cao Xuan, with big names from Taiwan and Xiangjiang taking part, the mainland media has focused more on [Naying VS Cao Xuan].
This is already the second time the two have faced off.
Last year, Cao Xuan was just a fledgling new singer. No one expected that he would be the rival of Na Young who was at the height of her power at that time, nor did they expect that Cao Xuan would defeat Na Young by defeating the weak.
Supernova provoked the mainland diva, which made the media happy. At the same time, it also accumulated "grievances" between the two.
So when the two men faced off again at the same time this year, the mainland media almost had a collective climax.
Moreover, compared to last year, Cao Xuan's fame has greatly increased, and he is the most popular male singer in the mainland, while Naying is the most popular female singer in the mainland.
Mainland's most popular male and female singers compete against each other.
It has become a hot topic. If the mainland media doesn't follow suit, they will not be able to bear the press credentials hanging on their chests.
Cao Xuan did not respond to this, and Naying also did not speak out, but she was obviously very active in promoting the album.
These days, she has appeared frequently on major TV stations, media and public events, in order to expand the influence of her new album. She even invited her boyfriend Gao Feng to show off her affection.
Unfortunately, Gao Feng had already transferred to the Liao Province Sea Lions at this time. If he were still in Guoan, the fans would have to start scolding him again.
This is not a fabrication. When Gao Feng was in Guoan, whenever she was in poor condition, fans would spray Naying, saying that she was a sinner of Chinese football.
But don’t underestimate the influence of Gaofeng + Naying.
With an A-level football star and a popular singer, many mainland media regard them as the Chinese version of Beckham + Victoria.
Unfortunately, after the peak, the status has declined seriously, coupled with the inability of the national football team, the Chinese version of Beckham + Spice Girls is ultimately just the media's own imagination.
But at this time, Beckham was at his peak, Manchester United had just won the Triple Crown, and the media was happy to praise Gao Feng and Na Young.
For a time, Naying became very popular.
On July 7, 1999, Naying officially released her new album "Jian Jie".
Frankly speaking, the production level of this album is not bad, especially "Missing Me" is recognized as the song with the highest production level in Naying's career.
Even Naying herself admitted that she personally prefers "Better" than her most famous album "Conquer".
However, "Better" and the song "Missing Me" did not achieve the popularity expected. On the contrary, "A Dream" and "I Will Accept Loss" were very popular and quickly entered the top ten, posing a threat to Zhang Huimei.
Before Cao Xuan entered the stage, two major queens from Mainland China and Taiwan Province performed a show.
But Naying is really no match for Jang Hye-mei.
How popular is Zhang Huimei now?
Let's put it this way, she held a concert at the Workers' Stadium this year, and the venue was packed with 80,000 people. It is currently the largest concert in the mainland.
Living up to her reputation as Taiwan's First Day Queen, she is the only female singer in the Chinese music scene who can compete with Wang Fei.
Before the millennium, except for Ren Xianqi, other Taiwanese singers faced Zhang Huimei.
There is only one word for the outcome, kill them all!
If she hadn't been banned for some reason later, the so-called Four Major and Three Small Taiwan Provinces would have been little sisters in front of Zhang Huimei after seven days.
As of mid-July, Naying was completely suppressed by Jang Hye-mei in the rankings. She was stunned when she first came on the stage, and her previous high-profile momentum suddenly stalled.
At this juncture, Cao Xuan released his second title song "Love Because of Love" and began to hit the charts.
This song became extremely popular in 2000, almost ranking among the top five of the year.
Now born one year ahead of schedule, coupled with Cao Xuan's already extremely high popularity, the popularity is even greater than in the original time and space.
It only took one day to break into the top ten. Three days later, it easily beat Na Young's "A Dream" and challenged Jang Hye-mei's "Can I Hug You" at the top of the list.
This year’s summer singing competition has finally fired its first shot!
