Section 219: Fox and Tiger

When the first heavy snow of the year falls in Jianye, it means that winter has completely arrived, and the Spring Festival is not far away.

For ordinary workers, the Spring Festival is a day of rest, but for those working in the service industry, the Spring Festival is often the busiest day of the year.

Entertainment industry practitioners, can also be said to be service-oriented industry workers, the Spring Festival is also the busiest day of the year for many people in this industry, and the number of staff required for various galas and Spring Festival programs is huge, which not only includes music stars and music singers in front of the stage, but also includes a larger number of behind-the-scenes staff. However, although more manpower is needed behind the scenes, it is still easier to find substitutes, and the star resources with huge attraction in front of the stage are so scarce compared to the huge amount of programs during the Spring Festival, so the resource competition for stars in front of the stage is the highlight of major TV stations during the Spring Festival, and it often starts a few months in advance.

Shen Huan felt this very clearly.

CCTV Spring Festival Gala has not sent him an invitation letter, stepping into this point in time, it seems that there is really no willingness to invite him to attend, but there are a lot of invitations sent by other TV stations, and each David TV basically showed him the intention to invite, and the offers are also very good, but without exception he rejected them one by one, which also gave him a lot of time so that he could do his own thing and do "Latent" well , but during the period, he was not a pure retreat after all, and still found some time to do something else, that is, this year's Golden Melody Awards.

This year seems to be another year for Shen Huan, at the Golden Melody Awards nomination ceremony in December, he not only received several nominations in the sub-category, but also was nominated for three awards in the four awards as last year - unlike last year, this year his nomination for Best New Artist of the Year was replaced by a Best Singer of the Year nomination.

And in terms of the total number, he has more nominations this year than last year, reaching a full 9 nominations, and he alone leads the nominations for this year's Golden Melody Awards.

Naturally, this has made the media enthusiastically report on this, speculating about how many awards he will eventually win this year.

In addition to Shen Huan, another eye-catching point of this year's Golden Melody Awards is the cutting-edge female singer Lin Hexi, who has just become popular this year.

The female singer was not only nominated for Best Newcomer of the Year, but also shortlisted for Album of the Year in the four awards, plus some awards in the sub-category, and was nominated for as many as 5 awards.

For a newcomer in the music scene, this is already a very bright achievement, and judging from the current trend, it is still very likely that she will finally accept the best newcomer singer of the year, which is considered the big favorite among the four contenders this year.

Such results, coupled with the previous excellent sales, this is like another female version of Shen Huan, and the future is very promising, so many big record companies have also started the idea of this female singer.

Some of these companies negotiated with Haifeng Records, some directly bypassed Haifeng Records and contacted Lin Hexi himself, and some found someone to talk to, and they all offered favorable conditions, just to sign the female singer to their banner, but I don't know if talented singers are so troublesome now, Lin Hexi is also the same as Shen Huan, and he can't get it for a long time, which makes the personnel in charge of this matter in these big companies have a headache.

If she doesn't win it now, if Lin Hexi really wins a few more awards at the Golden Melody Awards, or even one or two more awards in the two four awards she nominated, the price will be different from now.

……

"The winner of the best new artist of the year is ......"

Shen Huan dragged out his voice, unhurriedly opened the envelope in his hand, and looked down.

He is now on the stage of the Golden Melody Awards, standing in front of the podium, and the people sitting below him are black, including the elite and backbone of the entire Chinese music scene.

Today is the annual Golden Melody Awards Gala, and he also temporarily put down the post-production work of "Latent" and came to participate.

Just like last year, he was also invited to perform at the gala this year, but unlike last year, in addition to being a guest performer, he also received a guest of honor, and it was also one of the four awards - the award of the best new singer of the year.

I don't know if the organizing committee took a fancy to his popularity this year, or because he won the best newcomer of the year last year, and wanted to have some inheritance, but he still liked this job. On the other hand, Lin Hexi is also the nominee for the best newcomer singer of the year, if he can really award this award to Lin Hexi himself, he thinks it is quite interesting.

And just as Shen Huan was unpacking the envelope on the stage, in a seat at the back of the stage, Chen Ziwei, an old acquaintance of Shen Huan, looked at the person on the stage with a smile and listened to the whispers of the two people beside him.

“…… I believe that of course Lao Chen knows him,"

One of them looked sideways at the other, laughing, his eyes full of disbelief, "I know him too, but he doesn't know me." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was sitting next to him, and he had to take into account the other party's face, he might have said it more bluntly.

Chen Ziwei knows Shen Huan, and Shen Huan is a good buddy?

What kind of cowhide is this boasting?

If that's the case, does Chen Ziwei still need to sit here like them? Shen Huan's speed of becoming popular is obvious to all, especially his talent in music, which has been unanimously recognized by professionals, and many people want to ask him to invite songs, but except for Shen Huan's friend Ben Ru in the circle, I haven't heard of any success.

If Chen Ziwei was really Shen Huan's good buddy, Shen Huan would have carried him and pulled him, he would have sat in front a little earlier, right?

Seeing this, the other person said, "Last year, Shen Huan came over to say hello to Lao Chen, and Xiao Tian also saw it, right, Xiao Tian?"

He whispered to another person from two seats, and the man he called by name answered, "Yes." ”

The person who questioned it before was surprised in his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Ziwei more, seeing the smile on Chen Ziwei's face, as if he was happy for his friend, he couldn't help but doubt himself in his heart.

Could it be that this Lao Chen is really friends with Shen Huan?

said that Chen Ziwei and Shen Huan were good buddies, and he felt even more happy when he saw this scene, and blew it directly: "Let Lao Chen go and say hello to Shen Huan later, let's have a supper together and introduce you to each other!"

Although Chen Ziwei kept looking at the stage, his ears kept paying attention to the people next to him, and he also took the words of several people into his ears.

It was okay before, but now when I hear this, I feel a little nervous in my heart.

Fortunately, the other party was quite clever and spoke in a measured manner, and after finishing speaking, he did not forget to throw these words back to Chen Ziwei and give him a space to maneuver.

"Lao Chen, what do you think of my proposal?"

Chen Ziwei pretended to have just heard it, turned his head, glanced at them, and asked, "What is the proposal?"

The man then repeated what he had just said, Chen Ziwei thought for a while, and replied: "I'm afraid he won't be available this night, you know, they should have a party later, next time, next time." ”

The person who had already been suspicious of the letter before, but now that he saw that Chen Ziwei shirked it, there was a little more suspicion, and he smiled, "Then next time." ”

Seeing this, the other person hurriedly said, "That's the same, but when the show ends later, Lao Chen, do you think we should go over and say hello to him?"

Chen Ziwei thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

He thought that last year, Shen Huan's attitude towards him was still very friendly and face-saving, and when he was recording "The Voice of China", although Shen Huan didn't talk much, didn't communicate with people much, and was very low-key, he didn't prick himself, he just performed honestly, he shouldn't be a troublesome person, he would go over to say hello to him later, chat a few words, he should still give this face.

At that time, there should be a lot of media around Shen Huan, and it would be even better if the picture of the two of them in the same frame and talking cordially could be re-entered into a mirror or something.

The person who had questioned it before saw this situation, and he became skeptical again.

Could it be that Lao Chen and Shen Huan are really friends?

Is it a good friend to say two things first, just knowing Shen Huan and being able to take this road is a pretty good resource channel. Make good use of it, it can be very helpful for your career.

This made him laugh too, and his attitude became warm: "Okay, Lao Chen, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, and have such a friend......"

Several people laughed and whispered, while Chen Ziwei continued to look at the stage with a smile.

He cooperated with others to say this, exaggerating his relationship with Shen Huan, not just for the sake of face, for pretending to be addicted, but more importantly, for his own career.

They created the concept of "Chen Ziwei is a good friend of Shen Huan", so that more people can accept this concept, and even make this concept a "fact", which is very helpful for his career. Many of the jobs that may not have been his turn may have his share.

This is not to say that the power of this name is really so great that it can reverse the mind of the program team, but under the conditions that the candidates are roughly the same, one side has no background, but the other side is Shen Huan's old iron, so the program team will naturally choose to use this "Shen Huan's old iron" when it is difficult to decide.

To put it simply, in fact, it is a fox and a fake tiger, many people in the entertainment industry do this, and there are many of him Chen Ziwei, the difference is only that some people do a good job, and some people do not do well.

And Chen Ziwei's mind about Shen Huan has also changed.

When he was in "The Voice of China", he didn't have to say much about Shen Huan's thoughts about this down-and-out household, and he was too lazy to take care of it, and then at last year's Golden Melody Awards Gala, he was in a complicated mood: on the one hand, he was jealous of Shen Huan and him from the same starting point, or even the starting point was not as good as him, but in just one year, he did what he thought of most in his life, on the other hand, because he knew Shen Huan and Shen Huan gave him face at that time, he was faintly proud, and finally this year, his attitude changed again.

He was no longer jealous of Shen Huan.

Jealousy can only happen between two people who don't have a big gap, and when the gap between Shen Huan and him is getting bigger and bigger, to a terrifying level, he can't be jealous anymore, he is just glad that he didn't offend Shen Huan blatantly at the beginning, and how to use this illusory relationship between him and Shen Huan in the future.

He is now sincerely happy for Shen Huan's achievements as the guest of honor, and he sincerely hopes that Shen Huan can win a little more in the four major awards by then, and it is best to completely suppress Luo Xianyang, in that case, he can also get a little more light at that time.

He even began to think about how he could use this former "friendship with classmates" to really have something to do with Shen Huan and rely on this backer.

……

Shen Huan on the stage didn't know that there was a "good friend" sitting in the audience who thought about himself so much, and he was opening the envelope.

The quality of the envelope on the list of the Golden Melody Awards ceremony is good, even the person who glued this envelope this year didn't know if it was because of the lack of roots in his brain or too sincere, and it was too sticky, and Shen Huan didn't dare to use too much force, so he directly tore up the contents of it, so he didn't open the envelope for a few seconds.

But he didn't want to think about it, there has never been a shortage of old people in the past award presenters, and those old people can easily open the envelope, but he can't open it for a long time, which is obviously more psychological factors.

That is, nervousness.

This can also be seen from the movements of his hands - Shen Huan seems to have entered old age in advance, his fingers trembled slightly when he opened the envelope, and it seemed that there was a slight precursor to Parkinson's.

“…… It's ......"

Shen Huan's voice dragged on for a long time and couldn't come out, so he finally had to raise his head, smile at the audience, and complain to ease the tense atmosphere: "The organizing committee can consider adding a salary to the dedicated staff who made this envelope, which is too sticky." ”

The people below are waiting for the names to be announced, especially the four candidates, the TV cameras have been gathering on their faces, giving them a close-up of the four people in the same frame, you can see that their faces are very nervous, but unexpectedly, Shen Huan suddenly came to such a show after dismantling it for a long time, and they all laughed.

Among them, the most ugly laugh is Bai Zhanzhong, who is the nominee for the best newcomer singer of the year who is the only one in Lin Hexi's odds of winning the award this year, and he is also the one with the most pressure - the two in the back know that their probability is low, so they relax their mentality, and Lin Hexi in the front has the highest probability and the greatest confidence, which is the second most stressful.

And the one who laughed the happiest was Lin Hexi.

In the eyes of the audience in front of the TV, it is a sign of confidence that she is smiling so brightly, but no one knows the real reason why she is smiling so happily now.

It's not a loss to Brother Huan, he looks so handsome even if he can't open the envelope.

And if others are like this, I am afraid that they will be embarrassed to death, but he can talk and laugh and easily resolve the embarrassment.

Shen Huan didn't know Lin Hexi's thoughts, after tossing for another two seconds, he finally opened the letter with his hand, which had suffered from a slight Parkinson's in advance, without damaging the envelope, and then held his breath, pinched the card inside, and slowly pulled it out, his eyes staring.

To be honest, last year, whether he was before or after the award or when he came to the stage to deliver his acceptance speech, he was relatively calm and never so nervous.
