This time Jiayi Group is no longer just going through the motions. Among the top ten golden song nominations in 1980, Jiayi accounted for nine, and Wang Jie personally had six songs on the nomination list.
Compared with the first one that was held in a hurry, preparations for this one were more complete. The host was Zheng Shaoqiu, a well-known TVB artist who is known as handsome, Jiashi’s first host sister Zhou Xiaoyan, Polygram singer Xu Guanjie, and the previous session
Best Singer winner EMI's diva Ip Li-yee will be in charge.
Not to mention anything else, the star of this host is bright enough. Zhou Xiaoyan, the only weak one among them, is also a celebrity in the show hosting industry, and Jiayi Group also intends to let her enter the film, television and music industry.
After a formal opening speech of the music festival, the main meal finally arrived.
(Zhou Xiaoyan) "Last year was a prosperous year for our Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese music scene. Countless outstanding musicians emerged during this year. Now I announce that the best new male singer in 1980 is."
(Zheng Shaoqiu/Zhou Xiaoyan) "Wang Jie, the masterpiece "Who Knows the Prodigal's Heart"."
When Wang Jie stood up and took the stage, Li Jianhui seemed relatively calm, but Wang Jie's fans present were quite passionate, and Jie Tsai's shouts could be heard even outside the stage.
Although it was just an appetizer, the status of the guest who presented the award to Wang Jie was not low. It was presented to him personally by Luo Wen, a famous musician in Hong Kong and vice chairman of the Hong Kong Music Association.
"Thank you all very much, and I would also like to express my gratitude to Li Sheng here. If it weren't for Li Sheng's care for me, I would still be unknown now. I send this song to everyone here and in front of the TV.
audience."
As the music played, Wang Jie's fans sang the song with him, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
For Best New Female Singer, Jiayi's Ye Qianwen and Kuang Meiyun both lost. The winner was Far East Records and Far East TV's first sister Mei Yanfang's "Heart Debt".
They all debuted last year, and it’s really hard to say who is more popular among these three. Last year, Ye Qianwen’s record sales were even higher than Mei Yanfang’s.
But sometimes it needs to be considered comprehensively. The judges obviously don't want all the awards to be taken by the best artists. If the difference is not big, the judges will also balance it to avoid a dominant one.
This is not only true for the best new female singer, but also for the top ten hits in Hong Kong. If the song rankings were ranked last year, Wang Jie alone would account for most of them. This is obviously not allowed by the judges.
(Zheng Shaoqiu) "The winners of the top ten Golden Melody Awards in Hong Kong in 1980 are"
(Yip Liyi) ""Who Knows the Prodigal's Heart" - Wang Jie."
…
""The Wind Keeps Blowing"——Zhang Guorong."
""Gong Xi Fa Cai"——Andy Lau."
""Heart Debt"——Anita Mui."
""No More Tears" - Chen Boqiang."
""Tears of Heroes"——Wang Jie."
""The Time to Wake Up"——Ye Qianwen."
""In the Middle of the Water" - Lin Zixiang."
""The Crime of Not Being Romantic"——Wang Jie."
Wang Jie ranked third among the top ten hits last year. This is because he considered giving more opportunities to others. Last year, he was in the top ten of the song list for a long time. It was a bit sad and a bit crazy. Maybe, none of the three songs entered the top ten.
Golden song chart.
Kuang Meiyun also became a victim of the selection of this festival. Her masterpiece last year's "Have Never Been Deeply Loved Is Heartless" was no worse than Heart Debt and Awakening Time. It didn't matter if she didn't get the best new female singer. In the end, it didn't even make the top ten hits.
Come on, how can you not let him down?
You must know that she has enjoyed top-notch treatment as soon as she entered the company. Among female singers, she is tied with Ye Qianwen and Tsai Chin. Now Wang Jie has become the top brother of Jiayi Music Company. No one can challenge her status in a short time. Kuang Meiyun also hopes that she can
Become the first sister of Jiayi Music Company.
But now it seems that this goal is getting further and further away. Ye Qianwen is likely to reach the top and become the banner of Jiayi female singers.
As for the Best Singer of 1980, there is nothing to guess. The winner is undoubtedly Wang Jie.
Last year was definitely a fruitful year for Wang Jie's career. He reached his peak when he debuted. Not only did his achievements in the music industry reach their peak, he also gained a lot in the film and television industry.
Although the Hong Kong Film Festival won't be held until the middle of next month, the role of Ponyboy in last year's movie A Better Tomorrow directly led to him booking the Best Actor award.
As the most important award at the music festival, the status of the presenter of the Best Singer Award is also quite high.
(Zhou Xiaoyan) "Congratulations to Jie Zi for winning the 1980 Best Singer Award. I also invite Mr. Qiu Degen, Honorary President of the Music Association, to present the award to him."
Far East Qiu Family owns high-quality industries such as Far East Bank and Far East Hotels. It is also the largest shareholder of Far East Film and Television Media Group and one of the core members of New Asia Group.
The Far East Film and Television Group was established from scratch last year, and its development momentum is extremely strong. Even though the Kowloon Film and Television Media Group, a subsidiary of the Xianghua Consortium, has the help of left-wing companies such as Yindu and Ta Kung Pao, it still cannot be compared with the Far East Film and Television Media.
Especially when Hang Lung Group was in crisis, Qiu Degen personally took action and recruited many outstanding talents from ATV and Golden Harvest, including kung fu superstar Hong Jinbao.
Li Jianhui loved the film and television industry in his previous life. Although he did not acquire ATV in this life due to the butterfly effect, he had an extra Far East.
Moreover, Qiu Degen and Run Run Shaw have a very good personal relationship. When he presided over the establishment of the Xiangjiang Music Association, Run Run Shaw, as the president of the association, specifically asked Qiu Degen to be an honorary president in order to increase the influence of the association.
Going to the center of the stage, Qiu Degen took the microphone from Zheng Shaoqiu and said: "I am very honored to be able to present the award to the best singer last year.
I am very happy to see this ceremony today. There are talented people from generation to generation. Looking at the immature faces of most of today’s winners, I can see the glorious future of our Chinese music scene.
I also hope that all musicians will not let the bustling city of Hong Kong affect their original intention to engage in music, so that citizens can hear better singing."
When awarding the trophy to Wang Jie, Qiu Deba also sent congratulations and blessings.
"Every time I see you young people who are already successful and famous, I feel old.
The future of Xiangjiang belongs to you, the younger generation, and the extent to which Xiangjiang’s music scene can develop depends on the efforts of your generation.
You are top notch in both talent and strength. I hope you won’t start slacking off just because of your current achievements.
When the world talks about the Hong Kong music scene in the future, I hope your name will be among the top people."
"Thanks to Qiu Sheng for the advice. I know that my current achievements are entirely due to Li Sheng's care for me.
In the days to come, I will work harder to improve my abilities so as to live up to Li Sheng’s importance and expectations for me.”
Listening to Wang Jie's response, Qiu Degen felt that his previous words were in vain. This Wang Jie always spoke of Li Jianhui. It was probably impossible for Far East to lure him over.
