The Best Ballad of the Year went to an unknown singer, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Before coming to attend the grand ceremony, many people predicted that this ceremony might become a banquet for Starlight Music to harvest awards.
After all, the singers of Starlight Music have become so popular in the past two years.
As long as the albums and songs are released, the sales volume will definitely be among the best, and all the singing programs will be crazy to win the championship.
However, the reality is so strange. The best ballad of the year was lost to Southbound Moonlight, and it was so natural.
This reality quickly inspired many people and gave them a new understanding of participation in the festival.
This is a place where you can realize your dreams. Why isn’t you the next person to be noticed?
But everyone's eager dreams will have to wait a little longer, because the song and dance performance has begun again.
"Now please enjoy the new work brought by Tu Xiaogang, the best new singer of the year - "Chinese Kung Fu"."
Zhou Tao's speech made everyone a little confused.
Chinese Kung Fu is not practiced, why is it done by singers?
Is there something wrong?
Among the thousands of people, only the old god Xiao Qian was there, with a mischievous smile hidden in his eyes.
Tu Xiaogang's new work is of course his masterpiece.
It is another popular classic from the previous life, and the same Chinese-style song perfectly demonstrates the charm of Chinese Kung Fu.
Before the audience could taste more, a melody with a Beijing opera accent came.
Since "Who Belongs to the Hero", this has almost become Tu Xiaogang's label.
Only in his hands, the originally irritating babbling sounds of Peking Opera seemed to take on new vitality.
The dark stage suddenly lit up, and at some point, a large group of young people with improved figures appeared. They held various weapons in their hands and stood silently, like sculptures.
Tu Xiaogang walked out from behind the crowd, wearing a straight tunic suit that further highlighted his majesty.
This guy is already tall, and he has developed a graceful figure since he was a child. His every move has a special aura that makes people addicted.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he brought the microphone close to his mouth, and his singing voice continued like a chant, just like the surging river water washing away the audience's cochlea.
【Lying like a bow】
[Standing like a pine]
[Sitting like a bell without moving or shaking]
The beautiful singing voice and very familiar lyrics made everyone feel fresh and new.
There is nothing novel about the lyrics. Anyone who is familiar with Chinese Kung Fu knows that what he sings is the principle of Kung Fu.
What's novel is that these formulas are paired with musical melody, and it immediately becomes a good song.
No one had ever imagined that this could be done and that it could be done so well.
It is not the overwhelming sound of love and love, nor is it rebellious enough, but it spreads the Chinese spirit to the world and becomes a force of its own.
Similar to the end of the singing of Peking Opera, Tu Xiaogang's rhythm suddenly accelerated, and the lyrics he spat out were like RAP.
At the same time, those holding weapons also began to move.
Various gorgeous martial arts movements unfolded on the stage, flying up and down, with swords and swords flashing, and majestic.
At this moment, the perfect combination of song and dance completely created the spirit of Chinese Kung Fu.
Seeing this scene, many musicians shook their heads and sighed. They looked at Tu Xiaogang with deep envy.
They knew that after this song, Tu Xiaogang would become his own group and have his own special status in the Chinese music scene.
How lucky...
A singer who has just won the Best Newcomer of the Year can start a sect. Where will they go after they have been in the music industry for many years?
But it's useless for them to be envious and hateful because there is no producer named Xiao Qian behind them.
But regardless of the size of the audience, watching a wonderful performance and listening to an exciting song is the greatest satisfaction.
Amid the overwhelming cheers, many people became fans of Tu Xiaogang.
Even Tu Xiaogang stepped down, but his charm remained, making Zhu Jun's introduction seem much duller.
"The award that will be presented below is the best blues of the year. The presenters are Zhang Zerui, general manager of China Audio and Video Publishing House, and Xu Yafei, a famous singer."
Xu Yafei is a top female singer in the north with many fans. The audience was extremely happy to hear that she was also a guest presenter.
But people in the industry know better.
Although only a few awards were awarded, everyone has discovered a pattern. That is, almost every group of award presenters is composed of a big shot within the system and a top star.
And even the general manager of China Audio and Video Publishing House can only come to present unimportant awards. So when it comes to the grand prize later, what kind of heavyweight guests will come out?
In the midst of random thoughts, the best blues of the year have been announced.
When formulating the award, according to the opinion of the organizing committee, this award should be called the Best Blues of the Year.
Musicians initially used this type of Western music in literal translation, but it was Xiao Qian who made the decision and named it blues.
The reason...
Because of symmetry (┬＿┬)
The other awards all had six characters, but here came one with seven characters, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He is the boss, he has the final say.
The winner is still not from Starlight Music, but a female singer who sings in a Guangzhou bar.
These days, Chinese musicians can’t even understand ordinary pop music, and blues has an even smaller audience in the country.
So the winners are basically shorter than generals, but the quality of their works is actually not very good.
But Xiao Qian's purpose is to cultivate China's music industry and encourage the healthy development of various types of music, so he still sets up such awards.
When the winning female singer came on stage, even though she was already holding the trophy, she still felt like she was in a dream.
She is just a wandering singer. It is not easy to sing in a bar. How could she expect to be on a legendary stage like a music festival?
The process of her exposure to blues music is also magical, stemming from her mixed-race family.
Her mother is of mixed Chinese and American descent and once worked in an American blues choir, so she learned this music through her ears and eyes.
But in the country, there are very few people who understand the blues.
Whenever she sang, she felt like she was standing alone in the desert without any response.
It was an Italian who opened a bar in Guangzhou who appreciated her better and gave her a job opportunity.
She originally thought that she would spend her whole life in a bar, alone and accompanied by music that only she understood.
The invitation letter sent from the magical city brought her the most beautiful light.
"I really didn't expect that mainland China would pay so much attention to a niche music like blues."
Huang Zhan sighed again and again, all from the bottom of his heart.
The award ceremonies he has experienced in Hong Kong only focus on reputation when setting up awards, but never consider supporting niche music.
The top ten singers of the year, the Golden Record Singer, etc. may seem like a gimmick, but they have no role in promoting the development of pop music.
As a result, the mainstream voices in the pop music industry have always been dominated by big-name singers, while those who engage in niche music have been unable to get ahead. Over time, it is not surprising that the music scene in Hong Kong has gradually withered away, without fresh blood and fresh elements.
It's a pity that the people sitting next to him are all managers in the music industry, not producers, so it is difficult to find good news about his emotions, and he is alone.
But then, the announcement of the next award shocked him again.
Best R&B of the Year is another niche award.
R&B, also called rhythm and blues, is even a category under blues, and even fewer people in China understand it.
In the 1990s, there were very few domestic musicians playing R&B, and the public didn’t even know what R&B was.
It was not until the appearance of Tao Jiji in 1997 that the concept of R&B was introduced for the first time.
However, the irony is that after the millennium, almost all slow songs in China were produced based on R&B music forms.
In this life, Xiao Qian proposed this concept in advance and set up a special award.
As a result, the winner was still a little-known non-mainstream singer, and his excited expression was no different from the previous ones.
More than halfway through the ceremony, the most outstanding person was Tu Xiaogang.
He walked onto the stage again and received his second trophy - the best national style of the year.
This is another award established by Xiao Qian. At first, the committee members were confused and had no idea what the national style was.
But now that they see Tu Xiaogang winning the award, many people have quietly left the concept of national style in their minds.
Songs made by using traditional Chinese culture and integrating modern popular concepts are Chinese style music.
Tu Xiaogang's "Who Belongs to the Hero" is, as is the "Chinese Kung Fu" performance just now.
It can be said that the establishment of many new types of awards has created a precedent for the domestic music industry and has also brought great exposure to domestic musicians.
While many people are feeling sentimental, they are beginning to think about a musical path that suits them.
This is the impact of the music festival, which will definitely make Chinese pop music blossom and bear fruit one day in the future.
