The MAMA awards ceremony is about to begin. The invited guests boarded the red carpet one by one, signed on the signature wall, and then accepted photos from the media. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the award ceremony officially started.
Zheng Qian was sitting in the guest seat, surrounded by some well-known singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
During this period, someone pretended to pass by Zheng Qian's seat casually. When he saw Zheng Qian, he shook hands with Zheng Qian pretending to be surprised and happy, exchanged a few words with enthusiasm, and left with satisfaction.
It can be regarded as a refreshment of the sense of presence.
Today, Zheng Qian's fame in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles is in full swing, and he is vaguely known as the number one singer-songwriter.
Therefore, many people want to invite Zheng Qian to sing, but Zheng Qian's works are now very expensive and unmarketable. Even if they want to invite Zheng Qian to sing with a lot of money, it is said that they have to wait until three months later.
.
It's not that Zheng Qian can't write, but now, with his fame, the value of a song has far exceeded one million.
If an ordinary singer gets Zheng Qian's songs, with the popularity brought by the name Zheng Qian, he is very likely to become a popular singer.
Even if the singer fails to become popular in the end, with this famous song, various commercial performances can still receive help, and the indirect benefits brought by it can easily make tens of millions of profits.
After all, just from Monternet's ring tones business announced this year, many singers have made tens of millions in net profit from the ring tones of a popular song.
Therefore, unless it is a friendship like Hua Zai and Wei Yehong.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Zheng Qian's works are priceless and will not be sold easily.
But there are always people who don't give up.
Over time, Zheng Qian became a favorite in the circle and was highly respected.
At this time, several Hong Kong and Taiwan singers who were arranged to sit next to them were faintly excited.
Although I was not familiar with this great master, when we chatted with each other, we would often look at Zheng Qian. Everyone understood it tacitly, and the topics they talked about often involved Zheng Qian.
Zheng Qian had no choice but to chime in a few words when he was mentioned.
Because of Zheng Qian's presence, the atmosphere in the seats at the front, back and left was quite lively.
However, compared to the high praise of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, many singers in the Korean music scene are not interested in Zheng Qian.
Except for some juniors who come over to greet Zheng Qian, most Korean singers actually don’t know Zheng Qian. Maybe if you explain carefully, someone will suddenly say: "Oh, he is the Chinese singer who had an affair with Miss Han Yun'e!"
Other than that, not much impression.
Although Miracle Boy was active for a while a few years ago, it was only for a few months.
Now, five years later, in the Korean entertainment industry, which is undergoing such intense iterations, people have almost forgotten about this group.
Moreover, although the other members of Miracle Boy made their solo debuts, they did not become famous in the end. The most famous one so far has transformed into a comedian, and is currently making a slight improvement in the Korean variety show industry.
Although the MAMA Awards are customized to cover all of Asia, the main countries that win awards are China, Japan and South Korea.
Among them, Korean artists account for 80%.
Therefore, many times, this award is often jokingly called the back garden of the Korean music scene.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The MAMA Awards originally existed solely to promote the Korean Wave to Asia and increase its influence.
In the early days, it can be said that it was a matter of enclosure.
However, as the number of events increases, in order to expand their influence, the organizers will be very enthusiastic about sending invitations to famous singers from China and Japan.
Over the years, many Chinese and Japanese celebrities have been invited to participate in awards, performances, etc., which has really made the MAMA Awards more and more famous.
Up to now, it can be said to be the most important music awards ceremony in South Korea.
Its influence throughout Asia is also increasing day by day.
In particular, the Korean Wave is becoming more and more unstoppable. Not only in China, Japan and South Korea, but also in the ten ASEAN countries, a large number of fans will spread information to each other and watch this awards ceremony for the Hallyu idols they admire.
At the scene, there were a total of 6,000 fans and spectators in the entire exhibition hall.
From the opening performance, the audience was enthusiastic, making the atmosphere in the exhibition hall steaming and lively.
The performances of the singers and groups also made Zheng Qian quite emotional.
These white thighs, the curved waist, and the neat and uniform choreography have a strong visual impact.
No wonder the Korean Wave is unstoppable.
In the entire East Asian culture, it can be said that Korean artists broke through the "sexual" constraints of Asian people in public for the first time. Especially after the Korean Wave became a basic national policy and increased support, they also completely let themselves go, and scenes of 18-ban bans appeared frequently.
Even though Zheng Qian has read countless films, he still can't resist the temptation.
When some members of the girl group performed "difficult" moves, he would look away in embarrassment.
I have to say that visually, Hallyu can definitely catch people’s attention.
In terms of hearing, a large number of brainwashing words are repeated continuously, which also has a certain degree of toxicity, making people unknowingly remember the characteristics of these works.
During the award presentation, Zheng Qian almost fell asleep.
After finally getting through some scenes where some singers gave tearful and emotional acceptance speeches, finally, it was the turn of the "Overseas Audience Choice Award" to be presented.
This award is the highest recognition for popular overseas singers and is generated by collecting a large number of votes from overseas audiences.
The nominees are all foreign singers except South Korea.
Zheng Qian is among them.
Competing for this award at the same time as Zheng Qian, there is also a Thai singer and a Japanese singer.
The Thai singer was very excited. When the camera caught him, he waved his hands frequently and made loud noises, as if he was on drugs. He even made a rap gesture.
The Japanese singer... didn't come at all.
It is worth mentioning that a considerable number of Japanese singers sneer at the so-called MAMA Awards. Rather than saying this, it is better to say that they sneer at the entire Korean award.
Singers who are really popular in Japan never bother to go overseas to receive awards.
Only new singers like Hayakawa Nazhi rush to the stage when they are invited to be nominated.
Of course, this is only for the Japanese music scene.
After all, in terms of development, Japan is the second largest entertainment market in the world, currently second only to the United States, and it has the capital to be proud of.
Even some of South Korea's top actors and singers were focused on entering the Japanese entertainment market during this period, and they have been very successful in conquering Japanese entertainment markets over the years.
Of course, judging from the development status of the previous life, as China later became the world's largest ticket bank and the second largest entertainment market, the objects of South Korea's kneeling and licking gradually changed. However, due to some politically sensitive issues, the so-called
The Korean restriction order directly strangled Han Yu's neck. It can also be said that he will die if he doesn't do it.
The last person nominated was Zheng Qian.
Facing the camera, Zheng Qian behaved very gently, smiling and nodding.
When Zheng Qian appeared on the big screen, the feedback from the scene was not enthusiastic. Only some Hong Kong audiences shouted loudly.
Although it is held in Hong Kong, the audience for the MAMA Awards this time comes from all over the world. Hong Kong audiences only account for a part of them. The majority are from South Korea, and they are also die-hard fans of their respective idols.
How do they know Zheng Qian?
Zheng Qian had no special reaction to this.
When Hong Kong singer Tam Lin performed just now, the cheers were not enthusiastic at all. Most of them were from local fans.
He is a king in Hong Kong.
The King of Heaven is treated like this, how can he expect these Korean stick men to cheer for him?
"The recipient of the 2004 MAMA Awards Overseas Audience Choice Award is - Zheng Qian!"
On the stage, under the spotlight, the presenter called out Zheng Qian's name.
The camera instantly moved to Zheng Qian. Zheng Qian smiled, stood up, waved to the audience, and walked onto the podium amidst the congratulations of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.
After receiving the award from the guest, Zheng Qian gave an acceptance speech: "Thank you to the organizer for giving me this award, thank you to my fans, I will continue to work hard."
After a brief sentence, without any lengthy words, Zheng Qian picked up the award, waved it vigorously twice with a smile, and walked off the stage.
No one expected Zheng Qian's acceptance speech to be so short.
There was no crying speech by some Korean singers before, no making up stories, no thanking God, no thanking the land, no thanking parents and company...
"This guy is so crazy."
"impolite!"
"Shouldn't we be grateful to some of the people who trained him? Without his company, who would have distributed his films?"
"At least I have to thank the person who wrote the songs for him... Oh, it turns out he writes the songs himself, so that's okay."
Zheng Qian returned to the backstage and handed the trophy to Ren Xin. The latter picked up the golden trophy and took a look at it in surprise. It was a golden square grid. After playing with it for a while, he immediately placed it in the most obvious place in the lounge.
Then he said with a smile: "Although it is a bit ugly, it is the first trophy I got. I must keep it well! It is very memorable!"
"If you show some promise, you will win more prizes in the future."
As Zheng Qian said that, with the help of Mao Miaorui, he put on a gray woolen coat, which highlighted his tall figure. When he stood in front of the mirror, he patted the pleats a few times, and then left the lounge with satisfaction and went to
stage.
He has a show about to start.
The backstage staff led the way and led Zheng Qian to the bottom of the stage. When everything was ready, Zheng Qian took the elevator and appeared in the center of the stage in front of everyone's attention.
The audience on all four sides raised their heads and looked at Zheng Qian, their eyes full of unfamiliarity.
There were no shouts to the heavens and the earth, no signs of support.
Tsk.
Zheng Qian was really uncomfortable with it.
Zheng Qian has been so busy recently that he almost thought he was internationally famous.
It turns out this is reality.
At this time, the lights in the entire venue were turned off, and a beam of light appeared on Zheng Qian's body.
The piano sounded slowly, and as drums, cymbals and other musical instruments began to beat violently, in an instant, magical and noisy music hit people's ears.
Countless pairs of eyes began to focus, all looking at the tall figure on the stage.
On the stage, Zheng Qian stood on the same spot, his steps did not move even an inch from beginning to end, he just lowered his head, put the microphone in front of his chin, and sang softly.
"If someone asks me, I will tell you, but no one will come
I looked forward to it until I was helpless. I had something to say but couldn’t get it..."
At first, Zheng Qian didn’t think the song “Exaggerated” was catchy.
But with the accumulation of time, understanding of the lyrics, and understanding of the singing method, Zheng Qian gradually felt that if this song could perfectly interpret the taste, it would be a work that can drive people crazy.
This is a song about little people.
Zheng Qian doesn't care whether the Korean guy underneath can understand it.
Since you invited me to sing, I just need to feel comfortable singing.
"My mood is like a bottle waiting to be lifted.
The mouth is growing moss
The quieter the crowd becomes, the more indifferent they become.
I'm going to cause an accident..."
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Because of Zheng Qian's popularity in China, many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have tried hard to understand this song carefully and understand the meaning that these songs want to express.
at the same time.
In the eyes of everyone, the lonely and lonely man was lowering his head and silently looking at his toes.
Played on the big screen, his expression seemed full of melancholy.
"Zheng Qian is invincible when he sings Cantonese songs!"
"You can't tell he is a mainland singer at all! And he is very emotional."
"Yes, the way he looks, he is definitely immersing himself in the performance situation."
"The singing is free and easy, very gentle, and the emotions seem to be calm, but it makes people feel sad."
"awesome!"
Hong Kong and Taiwan singers whispered to each other and praised him endlessly.
Although no one understands it, it doesn't stop them from pretending to be experts.
But some people praise it, and some people disdain it.
For example, those Korean singers sitting in the audience.
Because I couldn't even understand the language, I could only frown, be puzzled, and look puzzled.
They seem to be wondering.
Is this the level of a singer who can win the "Overseas Audience Choice Award", also known as the "Best Overseas Popularity Award"?
However, the next moment was beyond everyone's expectation.
It's like a huge wave rising in a calm lake.
A well-placed falsetto, like the cry of a dying lark, made everyone's hearts suddenly tighten.
"Like suddenly singing——"
Everyone looked up in shock.
"Anywhere is like opening a four-sided terrace.
Wearing the flashiest shirt
Acting very emotional
When someone comes to take pictures, remember to insert your pocket——"
Is it so easy to switch between real and false sounds?
Everyone in the industry felt their scalps going numb.
Especially from the moment the falsetto was released, people felt that the nerves in their backs were being compressed violently, making them unable to move.
Electric currents instantly shot through the body.
Then, like a virus, it spread throughout the chest and abdomen!
All the singers took a breath.
Until Zheng Qian stopped speaking, those last few words were like drums in the evening and bells in the morning, each word was deafening and enlightening!
This song...
nice!
Many people in the industry in the audience slowly tasted the flavor of this song.
For a moment, I felt a little surprised!
At this moment, the loud sound of copper cymbals appeared again, making people wake up instantly.
The song, which seemed to be mixed with sorrow and indignation, was like the light breaking through the dawn, spreading to every corner of the exhibition hall in an instant.
"You think I'm exaggerating. I'm exaggerating just because I'm afraid.
If it looks like wood or stone, will it be noticed?
In fact, I'm afraid of being forgotten, so I'll enlarge it and show it.
I’m very uneasy, how can I be elegant? Is silence still praised in the world?
Not explosive enough
Why is there a topic for me to praise?
Be a great entertainer——"
"This boy!"
In the hearing room, Hong Kong singing king Tam Lin's eyes seemed to burst with fireworks as he stared at Zheng Qian on the stage in amazement.
At this moment, he actually felt like a lake was boiling in his heart.
Resonance! Uncontrollable resonance!
This kind of resonance made his soul tremble so strongly!
Start with the chorus and sing it to the end in one breath.
The whole process made Tan Lin's heart tighten and tighten again along with the singing!
till the end!
Tan Lin's chest rose and fell one after another, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. He stared dumbfounded at the singer on the stage who was shouting with grief and anger because of his unwillingness to give up——
This kid looks like a psycho!
He is going crazy!
How could he sing such a song!
"When I was eighteen years old, at the alma mater dance, I stood there like a gangster
At that time, I swore with tears that everyone must see me..."
At this time, many singers in the audience stopped what they were doing and stopped chatting with the people next to them.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the man singing on the stage.
At this moment, the song hit the bottom of my heart.
There is a twinkling light in people's eyes.
"There are too many ordinary and ordinary roads in the world
Which housing estate do you live in?
I have been neglected too much in love and work
My self-esteem has suffered a lot..."
A period of singing passed, and Zheng Qian stood there without moving at all.
Within a square inch, it is as motionless as a mountain.
But it attracted everyone's attention.
"Paying attention can cure hunger
If you have never obtained it, you will know why I am
Many big moves make these mistakes
Do you think I'm sick if you look at me——"
Suddenly, the music stopped.
Only the echo of singing echoed throughout the audience.
The next moment, just when everyone thought the equipment was malfunctioning.
The whole place was brightly lit, with colorful lights shooting from all directions.
At the same time, the fireworks launchers on the edge of the stage were activated instantly, and more than ten fireworks shot into the sky.
"You, think I am exaggerating -"
At this moment, Zheng Qian's singing swept over like a tsunami, rushing towards everyone.
Coupled with top-notch choreography, fireworks, and high notes that seem to break through the sky.
At this moment, everyone could not restrain their shocked expressions. They all seemed dumbfounded and opened their mouths slightly.
They raised their heads and looked at the figure standing on the stage, not moving at all from the beginning to the end, but singing loudly as if going crazy——
