On December 4, 1999, the Grammy Awards Selection Committee announced the list of nominees for all 74 awards at the 44th Grammy Awards, and Liao Liao and Li Qian joined hands to win a total of 15 nominations for related awards through "My-Heart-Will-Go-On" and "Titanic Movie Soundtrack".

Among them, Liao Liao personally won a total of 12 nominations, including Best Newcomer of the Year, Best Female Singer of the Year, Best Single of the Year, Best Country Singer of the Year, Best Country Single of the Year, Best Film and Television Song of the Year, Best R&B Song of the Year, Best R&B Singer of the Year, and Best Pop Singer of the Year, while Li Qian won three nominations for Best Album of the Year, Best Production of the Year, and Best Original Film and Television Music of the Year.
In terms of the Grammy Awards, the heaviest awards are the best album of the year, the best male and female singers of the year, the best newcomer of the year, the best production of the year and the best single of the year.
When the news was transmitted back to China, it immediately caused quite a stir.
Of course, given the success of "Titanic" and "My-Heart-Will-Go-On" throughout 1999, it is no surprise that the Grammys have given these nominations.
It's just that for the Chinese music industry, which has always been difficult to enter the international mainstream market, this time Li Qian and Liao Liao, the husband and wife duo, have teamed up to win so many nominations, especially in the context of the current domestic music scene is about to enter a trough, it still brings a lot of confidence to the entire Chinese music scene.
And only a few days later, on December 10, 1999, the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards officially announced the list of nominees for the 57th Golden Globe Awards, and "Titanic" led the way with 14 nominations, of which Li Qian was indisputably nominated for Best Film Music.
All of a sudden, the awards season for the United States arrived, and for the first time in history, it touched the hearts of the Chinese people, and more and more discussions and reports about these American awards began to be published on television, radio and newspapers.
And at this time, the domestic awards season also kicked off at the same time.
On December 28, 1999, the Great Wall Award for Film and Television took the lead in announcing the list of nominees for the major awards in 1999, which is almost indisputable.
Best TV Series of the Year, Best Costume Drama of the Year, Best TV Drama Director of the Year, Best New Director of the Year, Best Actor of the Year, Best Actress of the Year, Best Supporting Actor of the Year, Best Supporting Actress of the Year, Best New Actor of the Year, Best TV Series Original Music of the Year, Best TV Drama Song of the Year, Best TV Drama Editing of the Year, Best TV Drama Adapted Script of the Year, Best TV Drama Cinematography of the Year, Best TV Costume Design of the Year, Best TV Drama Art Director of the Year.
In short, there is almost no one who can catch up with the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady".
Four days later, on January 1, 2000, the nominations for the Huaxia TV Drama Feitian Award were subsequently announced. Because the awards are set more concisely, this time, "The Legend of the New White Lady" has received a total of nine nominations, once again leading this old TV drama award.
In terms of domestic awards, the Feitian Award is co-sponsored by Huaxia TV and Jiangsu TV, the two earliest established TV stations, the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
The Great Wall Award is jointly sponsored by the Chinese Film and Television Association, Shuntian Film Academy, Huaxia Drama Academy, Huaxia Media College, Huaxia Directors Association, Huaxia Actors Association, Huaxia Screenwriters Association and other thirteen units.
It's just that it has a big problem, that is, it is too ambitious, and it rushed to take care of both movies and TV series at the beginning, but in the end, it made both sides less authoritative.
In terms of TV drama awards, the Feitian Award is more authoritative than it, and in the film awards, of course, the Huabiao Award is more authoritative.
On January 8, 2000, Zhou Yan's new album "Red Beans" was produced, Li Qian completely left the post-production to He Wei and Li Jinlong, and he went to the United States with Liao Liao, Xie Mingyuan, and Sun Meimei to attend the Golden Globe Awards dinner.
This time, it is said that a total of several domestic TV stations and more newspapers also went to the United States to report for the first time, because everyone can vaguely guess that although it is the first time to be nominated, with the strength of "Titanic", this time, Li Qian is likely to win the award.
Of course, Huaxia TV and Shuntian Satellite TV both proposed to simultaneously film the whole process of Li Qian and his entourage going to the United States, but Li Qian refused without hesitation.
If nothing else, he will spend the next month traveling back and forth between China and the United States, attending various award ceremonies.
January 11 is the Golden Globe Awards in the United States, January 18 is the Great Wall Award in China, January 25 is the Feitian Award in China, February 3 is the Grammy in the United States, and the Chinese Music Golden Melody Award on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar.
And, of course, the Oscars.
On January 14, shortly after the Golden Globe Awards, the Oscars will announce the nominees, and the ceremony will be held on January 28.
And if nothing else, Li Qian thinks that there should be no problem in getting the relevant nominations in this regard with the soundtrack of "Titanic".
Anyway, in about twenty days or so, he was going to be a trapeze artist again.
This kind of life is what Li Qian doesn't like very much, and in fact, he has always never attached much importance to various awards, from the time when he was invited to participate in the Golden Melody Awards and was rejected by him, until now, he still has this attitude.
Whether it is out of personal feelings or for his own career, he has always been very active in moving the excellent literary and artistic works in his mind to this world, but in his heart, although he has also put in a lot of efforts and even a lot of creations on the way to "carry", deep down, it is difficult for him to really regard those works as his own works.
It's OK to win the award, but when he stands on the podium to receive the award, he will feel a little ashamed, so he has always been able to dodge and avoid when he can.
However, that's just his positioning for himself, as a singer, he thinks that Liao Liao doesn't have to be ashamed at all to win the award, because he can be classified as a "plagiarist", but Liao Liao's singing is absolutely original.
The same reason, because from the creation of the script of "The Legend of the New White Lady", to the creation of the storyboard script that lasted hundreds of days, to the construction of the crew one by one, to shoot shot by shot, to direct the performance of the actors, to editing, soundtrack, etc., although it is definitely impossible to get rid of the concept of "plagiarism", Li Qian believes in his heart that he still has a high degree of originality in the filming of the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady".
To summarize it with the simplest concept: copying a song that only needs 3MB or 4MB is absolutely different from copying a TV series that requires 20G.
There are too many things involved in the filming and production of TV dramas, to be honest, even if the original TV series has been watched a hundred or two hundred times, if there is no corresponding ability, if there is no re-creation to a certain extent, it is absolutely impossible to shoot it in another time and space.
Therefore, compared with music awards, he attaches a little more importance to TV drama awards.
Even if on one side is the Grammy, Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, which are well-known all over the world, and on the other hand, the influence is only limited to the Great Wall Award and the Feitian Award in China.
…………
On January 11, 2000, at the 57th Golden Globe Awards Gala, "Titanic" unsurprisingly won a total of thirteen awards, fourteen nominations, and only one missed.
And Li Qian became the first person in history to stand on the podium of the Golden Globe Awards as a Chinese, although in the Golden Globe Awards, a film and television award, he won music-related awards, but the first is the first.
The news was transmitted back to China, and public opinion was boiling for a while.
Considering that in the United States, the Golden Globe Awards have always existed as an outpost and weather vane of the Oscars, the domestic media and Li Qian's fans are generally full of expectations for the next Oscars.
Only three days later, on January 14, 2000, the Oscars officially announced the list of nominees, and "Titanic" once again led the Oscars with fourteen nominations.
As the film's composer on the music side, Li Qian won three nominations either alone or alongside Xie Mingyuan, which are: Best Sound, Best Sound Editing and Best Original Music.
Liao Liao, on the other hand, won the nomination for Best Original Song with "My-Heart-Will-Go-On" without dispute.
If there is no accident, the first person to stand on the Oscar podium as a Chinese is also about to appear.
Of course, Li Qian and his group of four, after attending the Golden Globe Awards gala, did not wait for the Oscar nominees to be announced, and they had already returned to China.
Because the award ceremony of the Great Wall Award for Chinese Film and Television will be held on January 18.
And "The Legend of the New White Lady" is a big favorite to win the award!
