Chapter 111: Rumors
To be serious, no matter what career a person does, once he has achieved a certain level, there is really no one who does not value awards at all - especially those who are engaged in literature and art.
Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second martial arts, and this is not just a matter of talking.
In ancient society, you said that the force is worth, that is simple, it is OK to pull it out and fight, and whoever wins is of course powerful. In modern society, if you are engaged in sports, if you can run seven seconds in the 100 meters, then you can run in seven seconds, and others may not be able to run you so fast no matter how hard they try, and you can jump to a certain level, but others can't do it in their lifetime - they can be directly quantified, and there is a world record hanging above their heads.
In fact, to a certain extent, once it reaches a certain height, it is only the size of the audience, and there is no real sense of who is high and who is low, so the selection of awards is more important.
Therefore, in modern society, there is a Nobel Prize in literature, a Pulitzer, a Grammy in music, an Oscar in movies, and in China, there are Golden Melody Awards in music and the Great Wall Award in movies.
If the best-selling list and the golden song on-demand list prove the popularity of a singer among the general public, then the golden melody award will prove the reputation of a song, an album, and a singer in the music and literary circles, and to a certain extent, it basically represents your artistic level.
Only the former, no matter how popular you are, the coffee position in the circle will always inexplicably feel half a head shorter than people, if there is only the latter, then the word "good or not" is enough to make any singer distressed. Only when the former and the latter are combined, a singer can be considered truly successful, and he can be confident wherever he goes and who he faces.
From Li Qian's point of view, of course, he also hopes to win the award, and if he can win the award. That's not just a question of what honors he has won or what positions he has won, but more importantly, it will represent the world he is currently in, and the works he has brought from another time and space. Recognition was given.
This is especially important to him.
But to tell the truth, he knows that he is only seventeen years old this year, and he will be eighteen years old when he turns the new year. First, he is really young, and secondly, his qualifications are very shallow, although the works must be good works, and even for this time and space, they are quite pioneering, but in the past year, there must be many good works in the domestic music scene, so, in fact, in his own opinion, although there are a lot of nominations. But the odds of winning the prize in the end are not too high.
Of course, Li Qian is not in a hurry - there are really a lot of good works in his hands!
It is precisely because of this confidence in his heart that in the face of so many nominations for the Golden Melody Awards this time, although Li Qian also has expectations in his heart, he really doesn't take it too seriously.
So when Cao Zhan, a veteran of the music industry, analyzed the odds of winning each of these awards with him one by one, he listened a little absent-mindedly.
But. Well, Lao Cao is a member of the Golden Melody Award Selection Committee after all, although according to the selection mechanism of the Golden Melody Awards, a member like him has to avoid suspicion. Once you have a work selected, you have to withdraw from the final award stage, and only the standing committee members are eligible to participate in all the selections from beginning to end, for example, this year, Lao Cao has a work written to Zhang Chang that was nominated for the top ten golden songs, and he went home directly after participating in the selection of the nomination stage yesterday morning. However, as a veteran, many of his speculations are still very credible, and they are roughly similar to Li Qian's own speculations.
For example, on the top ten golden songs, although Liao Liao has been popular for half a year, and there are still a few songs on the golden song on-demand list, but the three songs "Persistence", "Wild Flowers" and "Cheers, Friends" have been nominated at the same time, but because of the similar style, if you enter the top ten golden songs in the end, you can only choose one of them, and the selection committee of the Golden Melody Award will not be able to let the second song of the same person and the same style get the top ten golden songs unless the whole is brainwashed.
And considering the audience and market response of those three songs, there is a good chance that "Persistence" with a greater aura will become a masterpiece.
Of course, the principle that only one of the three can be selected from works with a similar style is the same, even if you Liao Liao is so popular that it will be directly sealed with an album, it is difficult to get the second place in the top ten golden songs, even "My Hometown in Love" must be very positive, and it will definitely be very popular with the selection committee members who have come from the popular era of folk songs, but, "Persistence" and "My Hometown in Love" are two choices.
Therefore, it is almost certain that Liao Liao will get one of the top ten golden songs, but the second one is almost hopeless, no matter how good and popular your song is, or even if it is groundbreaking, or even enough to kill other singers' works, it is useless. In the opinion of the Golden Melody Award Selection Committee, a top ten golden song is already enough praise.
Then, it is conceivable that Liao Liao's "Unfinished Love" is estimated to have no chance, but He Runqing's single "Half a Pot of Yarn" - even if it is just to affirm the new Chinese style, after suppressing Liao Liao's "Unfinished Love", He Runqing's "Half Pot Yarn" will suddenly increase the chances of winning the award!
As for the five elements......
Well, I'm afraid even a few of the girls themselves have to admit that the path they have taken is idol, dynamic, youthful, and fast singing...... It's really hard to please the academics of the Golden Melody Awards selection committee.
The song "Sister Sister Stand Up" is too popular and popular, but even so, if you want to get the top ten golden songs, it can only be said to be five or five. On the contrary, it is "Farewell", although the singing skills of Wuxing Wusu have made many insiders complain, but aside from their singing skills, this song is definitely enough to impress the judges of the Golden Melody Awards.
Therefore, they either can't get any of them, or most likely they can only get "Farewell".
As for the best album, Cao Zhan said with confidence that the probability of the album "Liao Liao" winning the best album of the year is more than seventy percent. Because in the past 1995, in terms of the maturity of the work, the popularity of the market, and the reputation in the circle, Liao Liao's album was almost completely unrivaled.
As for Liao Liao's best female singer of the year...... According to Cao Zhan, unless the Golden Melody Awards are intent on producing some moths, otherwise, the probability of Liao Liao winning the award in the end is even greater than ninety percent!
In the second half of 1995, Liao Liao was so brilliant that it made people feel that she was the only star left in the entire domestic music scene!
Of course, as for Li Qian's best lyrics and best composition...... In Cao Zhan's words, although with the song "Farewell", no one can have a second word even if he wins these two awards, but Li Qian's hope of winning the award is only half of it at best.
In this regard, Cao Zhan of course couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Qian, and couldn't help but refute the so-called default rules that were very boring and scoundrels one by one. However, Li Qian only laughed at this.
Award selection, that's a game for the whole circle, if it's not shady, what is it called?
…………
After sitting at Cao Zhan's side for most of the morning, when it was almost noon, Li Qian and Wang Jinglu said goodbye and left.
As a result, the two were eating rice noodles in the rice noodle shop they had been to twice, but Li Qian received a call from Qi Jie.
A few days after arriving in Shuntian Mansion, she had already called to talk about the contract with Changsheng Records, and finally the contract was negotiated, only Li Qian was required to sign, in fact, the main task of her trip to the north was completed, the reason why she still stayed in Shuntian Mansion, the rest was actually just to use Liao Liao's help to call her as Li Qian's agent, so in the past few days, because there was nothing to do, she didn't call Li Qian much.
When the phone was connected, Li Qian had just finished pulling a bowl of rice noodles, wiping his mouth and chewing the rice noodles in his mouth.
On the phone, Qi Jie's style was as concise as the previous times, and said, "There are two things. The first thing is that although I don't have a chance to hear it myself, according to Liao Liao, there have been some rumors that are very unfavorable to you in the music industry recently, and it is said that many people say it again, and they all say it with noses and eyes. ”
Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed, "My rumors?" hehe...... Tell me, what did they say?"
On the other end of the phone, Qi Jie said: "Many, various, of course, some people with a little bit of brains won't believe it, for example, you plagiarize, say that you steal songs, say that you find a gunman to create for you, etc., although there are still people who keep saying it, but Liao Liao said, don't pay attention to this at all, a fool will believe it, and you have so many works, and there will be more works in the future, especially when her new album comes out, this statement is self-defeating." But there are still some ......"
Li Qian finished wiping his mouth, his expression gradually became cold, and he said lightly: "Say, it's just a little rumor, and I'm afraid that I will be hit if I hear it?"
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Jie said: "Some people say that you are arrogant and arrogant, and you have been in the industry for half a year, but you have never been to Shuntian Mansion, even if you make an album for the Five Elements and Wusu, you have to let the people of Huage take the initiative to go to Jinan Mansion to accommodate you." Others said...... said that you are very greedy for money, just because you became popular with Liao Liao, and for a while you became a little famous, you opened your mouth with the lion of Chinese Records, and asked for 15% of the royalties of an album at once, and it is even said that some people called on major record companies to boycott you together. ”
The front is okay, hearing the last point, Li Qian almost burst out laughing.
"Resist me?"
