On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head.

The annual Golden Melody Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.

As in previous years, it is still co-sponsored by five companies, Huaxia Record Association, Huaxia Musicians Association, Huaxia Conservatory of Music, Huaxia TV, and Voice of China Radio, but unlike previous years, from this year, the award ceremony will be broadcast live.

It is even said that the initial ceremony planning plan, there are many celebrities walking the red carpet, but because it is the first year of live broadcasting, the organizers, mainly the variety show department of Huaxia TV, do not dare to make it too big, for fear of going out of the basket, so there is no red carpet for the time being this year, and it is planned to join this link next year or the year after.

Minghu Culture Company got a total of ten admission tickets, which is certainly not much among the many record companies in China, but the people who appeared on the stage seemed to be full of weight.

Li Qian, Qi Jie, Li Jinlong, Sun Meimei and Liu Mei are the management and behind-the-scenes production staff representing Minghu Culture, while Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Xie Bing, Sun Ruoxuan and Wang Jingxue of the Rose Power Group are the singers representing the company.

Among them, those who will appear as award presenters include Li Qian, Liao Liao and He Runqing.

A gold medal producer, two divas, plus a rose power group that has not yet released an album, but is already not to be underestimated - this kind of cast, among all record companies, is definitely one of the top-notch.

In addition, Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu attended alone, as in previous years, as songwriters and members of the Musicians Association. Although Yu Bojun also plays in a band now and is a member of the music circle, his main business is still movies. Playing in a band can only be counted as a ticket. So the Golden Melody Award didn't specifically give him an invitation. He didn't bother to take care of it.

The live broadcast of the ceremony should be considered a success.

Of course, this is the current situation in China, even if it is a live broadcast, whether it is a guest or a winner's speech, even if there is no prior communication, everyone is very tacit to sing praises from beginning to end, and it is not even a little excessive joke to say too much - in short, harmony. It's also bland.

As the most popular singer in China today, Liao Liao was first responsible for awarding the award for the best rookie male singer of the year, coincidentally, this award was awarded to Zhou Ye, and then, with the irrefutable reputation and sales of "Grateful Heart", she brushed the best album of the year of "Grateful Heart" and the first place of the top ten golden songs of the year of the single "Grateful Heart".

Of course, for the former, the winner is producer Li Qian. The latter is herself.

And He Runqing, who has successfully completed the transformation in the past year, after awarding the best album of the year award to Li Qian. After a lapse of six years, she won the third Best Female Singer of the Year award in her career. In addition, the single "Dream Chaser" also indisputably entered the top ten golden songs of the year and became the third place.

As for Li Qian, he is responsible for presenting the award for the best female singer of the year, and what made the audience laugh tacitly is that there are four candidates for the best female singer of the year at this year's Golden Melody Awards, except for Li Xinru, who can be regarded as having nothing to do with him, Liao Liao and Zhou Yan are his women, and He Runqing is also a signed artist under him.

Therefore, on the TV guide screen at that time, Li Qian's expression was quite wonderful.

Fortunately, the end result didn't embarrass him too much. Awarded the award to He Runqing, for the organizer of the Golden Melody Awards, it is of course to affirm He Runqing's successful transformation this time, but for Li Qian, this result is to help him, the award presenter, resolve a family conflict that is likely to occur.

So, when the four candidates appeared on the big screen one by one and were introduced, the audience laughed tacitly, and when the awards were finally decided, the audience laughed tacitly.

The best male singer of the year was once again brushed by Zhao Xinfu, plus this time, he is the second king, among male singers, he is currently second only to Liu Mingming's four kings, and the flying band has won the championship three times. In addition, He Runqing, who was sealed three times, also surpassed him. And Zhen Zhen and Liao Liao, who have both been sealed twice, are on par with him.

The winners are happy, those who failed to win the award can only squeeze out a smiling face to show their freedom in the face of the live broadcast camera.

Li Xinru was quite disappointed to lose the best female singer again this year, even if Li Qian was in a seat that was a long distance from there, she could still notice that her agent was constantly comforting her.

Compared with her, although Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan may be even more disappointed, after all, starting this year, the Golden Melody Awards will begin to set up the Best Group of the Year Award, and the first winner in history is Wuxing Wusu. So, the three of them could only sit in their seats with their eyes blank and watch Zhou Pingping, who is now the captain of the Five Elements Wusu, take the stage to accept the award.

But after all, several of them know in their hearts that their future prospects are very bright, even if they can't get it this time, they are very hopeful of winning this award next.

Therefore, of course, there is loss, but they have attended the Golden Melody Awards ceremony for the third time, and they did not show any gaffe expressions in front of the camera.

When the awards ceremony ended, she won the first, third, fourth and sixth places in the best female singer of the year, the best album of the year, and the top ten golden songs of the year, plus Li Qian brushed the best lyrics of the year and the best composition of the year in one go.

And Li Qian knows that if you just talk about winning the award, this is just the beginning.

This year, with the status of Liao Liao and He Runqing completely stabilized, and with the successive efforts of new groups and new singers, at next year's Golden Melody Awards ceremony, it is the time when Minghu Culture is really going to kill the Quartet.

You know, the massive classic works from another time and space in his hand have just opened a hole, and there are many more good works in the future!

…………

Three days after the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, Li Qian received a call from Zhao Yigu, according to him, the feedback received from this live broadcast. Whether it's an audience evaluation. Or the most intuitive ratings. All are quite outstanding.

So...... Everyone was happy.

…………

Before the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, Liao Liao's new album "Woman Flower" has completed the recording of the studio stage and officially moved to the later stage, and then it is the practice and recording of He Runqing's new album "The Price of Love".

As the first album after the successful transformation, there is no doubt that for He Runqing, the importance of this album cannot be overemphasized - she in this period. I really need a good album that continues the style and completely solidifies my style.

Therefore, Li Qian, who knows her current state very well, has been extremely attentive since the song selection stage. Although she has a strong library of golden songs in her hand, it is not so easy to choose the ones that are suitable for her new style, suitable for her singing, and have a greater certainty that they will be loved and accepted by her current fans after singing.

In the end, after much struggle, Li Qian's selection of works for her new album "The Price of Love" are: "A Good Man Has a Safe Life", "Follow Your Feelings", "Dear Child", "The Price of Love", "Where Does the Wind Come From", "A Thousand Words", "Just Like Your Tenderness", "Water Town in a Dream", "Proverbs of Love" and "Don't Pick Wildflowers on the Roadside".

Among these ten works, "The Price of Love", as a generation of golden songs, naturally does not need to be questioned about its quality. As the album's first staple, it's warm and timeless. There will be no problems with its popularity, and He Runqing's voice and singing skills are extremely safe to control it. As the second main track of the album, "Dream Water Town" is a Chinese-style song that Li Qian has listened to and liked very much since he was a child, and there is no need to question its classicity. Not to mention that He Runqing's singing skills are higher than the original singing of this song, I don't know how many levels.

Then, "Where Does the Wind Come From", "Proverbs of Love" and "A Thousand Words" are all representative repertoire of Teresa Teng, the queen of sweet songs, but like Cai Qin's version of "Just Like Your Tenderness", Li Qian is ready to help He Runqing deal with the direction of "classic female voice". There is only one song "Don't Pick Wildflowers on the Roadside", and Li Qian still intends to process it as a sweet song route.

It can be said that the way of these songs, for He Runqing, is not only to review the previous sweet song route, strive to win the previous group of old fans, but also to stabilize the new style of the present.

Li Qian firmly believes that there will be no problems with this way.

Then, "A Good Man Has a Safe Life" As a classic work of folk songs, it has been popular in another time and space for several years, coupled with its own good meaning and full of positive energy, although it is a slow song, but folk songs in China, especially good folk songs, will never lack the market and supporters, therefore, Li Qian believes that in the current time and space, this song can also become popular, and even become a radio on-demand hit in the next few years, and in the future, like the achievements it once did in that time and space, it has become a classic memory of the era。

At this point, these eight songs, in Li Qian's opinion, are not only powerful, but at the same time quite stable, which should be enough to help He Runqing hold up her achievements, at least, it is not a big problem to stabilize her current style and status.

But in the end, he still came up with two songs to support her entire album.

"Follow the Feeling", an absolute classic golden song, the representative work of a generation of diva Su Rui, and her other song "Dear Child", as a heart-warming divine comedy, is still covered by countless singers until twenty or thirty years later, which shows its classic quality - such two diva-level works, in Li Qian's view, can successfully support the success of the entire album and help the album continue to increase total sales in the later stage.

In fact, such a song list, in mid-February, Li Qian had already handed it over to He Runqing, and after He Runqing read them one by one, he was extremely satisfied.

So, while she and Li Qian helped Liao Liao produce her new album "Woman Flower", she had already started practicing songs, and when "Woman Flower" was completely recorded, she began to move to post-production, and the recording of her new album began later.

And this time, Liao Liao, in turn, became one of the producers of her album together with Li Qian.

It's just that in the middle of the song practice, she deliberately found Li Qian and said that in comparison, she personally prefers the style of "Follow the Feeling", so she likes to change the title of the album from the relatively warm "The Price of Love" to the more casual and free-spirited "Follow the Feeling".

Li Qian could understand what she meant, and knew that she was still a little worried. still wants to work hard in the direction of catharsis and freedom in today's domestic music scene. I'm still afraid that I will be left behind by the times. Although in Li Qian's opinion. The album title "The Price of Love" will seem more timeless and classic, but since she put forward her own idea, Li Qian will no longer insist, after all, there is nothing wrong with "Follow the Feeling" as the title of the album and the first main track.

In the final analysis, there is no difference between the grade and the classics of these two songs. It's just a slight difference in style.

So subsequently, the album was renamed "Follow the Feeling" and the song was added as the third title track. The first two title songs, "The Price of Love" and "Dream Water Town", are still the first and second main songs without the slightest adjustment.

At the beginning of March, "Follow the Feeling" began to enter the recording stage.

After experiencing the tempering of so many album recordings, the current Li Qian has accumulated a lot of experience in album production, and it is becoming more and more convenient to do. Coupled with He Runqing's own 12-year career as a professional singer, he has recorded more than a dozen albums. His singing skills, state maintenance, and even his rich experience. In today's domestic music scene, it is definitely one of the best levels.

Therefore, after more than a year of running-in of various cooperations between the two, although in terms of tacit understanding, it is estimated that it will be slightly inferior to the combination of Li Qian and Liao Liao, but they are already in a state of free operation.

In addition, there is a Liao Liao next to him to help the staff officer, and the recording of this album is both efficient and fast, and the level has been maintained at a fairly high level from the beginning.

Of course, the trio of them are busy making albums here, except that Li Qian still needs to go back to school and find time to learn drama every week, almost a kind of complete devotion, but with the arrival of March, the focus of the entire Minghu Culture Company has begun to shift to distribution affairs.

In the face of the company's first album of the year, especially the first album with its own boss as the home field, the entire Minghu Culture Company, from the general manager Qi Jie, to the most ordinary employees below, have made enough efforts to make every effort!

Although several big names in the four beauty bands reluctantly decided not to do any publicity, the company obviously couldn't let the album go on the market so quietly.

After all, as the first shot of the year, the entire company has high hopes for the boss's album!

So, as early as the end of February, the company's complete set of publicity plans has been fully rolled out - although these publicity methods, because of the lack of the participation of the four beauty bands themselves, no matter how much they want to exert their efforts, there is nowhere to use. The other is to edit the performance clips of the four beauty bands at He Runqing's concert into the form of a single MV and send it to major TV stations to be played repeatedly.

In Qi Jie's view, with publicity and without publicity, the effect will be different after all.

Although the four major beauty bands and their "No Place to Shame" and "Nothing" have been opened through pirated tapes before, in fact, they have already sold all over the country and become popular all over the country.

But because of this, the market for those two songs is almost saturated.

This time, the new album is released, in addition to promoting rock and roll feelings and arousing the love of rock and roll in the hearts of countless rock fans in China, that is, to work hard to publicize and let those who have already bought pirated copies buy genuine copies again.

Of course, the main thing is to pick up the other songs from the new album.

In this case, shortly after the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, on Tuesday, March 14, the debut album "Fake Monk" of the four major beauty bands was officially released nationwide.

It's just that unlike Liao Liao, He Runqing and others who run around with great fanfare whenever a new album is released, the listing of the album "Dream Chaser" has hardly caused any storm.

Especially in mid-March, a relatively low season for record sales, although this album has attracted the attention of the entire pop music scene since its release, for the vast majority of fans, it can be described as quiet.

It's just that for some people who care, after listening to masterpieces like "Nothing" and "No Place for Shame", they don't seem to need any publicity, because they are always staring at any news related to this album.

At least, on the day of the album's release, almost every record company in the country, almost all singers, almost all professional musicians, arrangers, and songwriters chose to buy the album as soon as possible.

Because everyone is extremely curious, they are eager to hear what kind of works the four beauty bands, or Li Qian, a great talent, will come up with after "Nothing" and "No Place for Shame"!

What kind of works do they have to make this album so reassured, even when the two popular works such as "Nothing" and "No Place for Self-Respect" have been completely occupied by piracy, they are still relieved to include them, and even an album with only eight "new songs" dares not to do the slightest marketing promotion!

Can their new work really give them so much confidence?
