Chapter 403: Shangtai Chinese Song Competition Award
On January 10, 1984, the awards season, which was hyped by countless media and attracted countless eyeballs, finally kicked off.
The first to appear was the Commercial Radio Chinese Song Pitch Award.
Compared with the other three award ceremonies, the Commercial Radio Chinese Song Competition Award is somewhat different, and this alternative is manifested in two aspects.
First of all, in terms of award setting, in addition to the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" at the music award ceremony, the commercial radio Chinese song competition award also includes the record belonging to the song with the highest demand rate on commercial radio in the past year, and a total of 20 records have won the award.
Another alternative aspect is the scale of the award ceremony, compared to the other three major award ceremonies, the award of commercial radio Chinese song competition is much simpler, not so much an award ceremony, but a press conference.
The whole award scene is a press conference scene, and the host podium, the podium and the seats under the stage form a somewhat shabby award scene.
However, although the award scene of the Commercial Radio Chinese Song Competition Award is a little shabby, it has a high status in the hearts of many singers for no more than two reasons.
The first point is because radio on-demand rates are also an important part of record sales.
Take the world-famous Billboard (i.e. Billboardhot 100) as an example, the chart has one of the most watched singles charts, and the singles chart is calculated not only by album sales in physical stores, but also by radio on-demand rates.
The sales of many singers' physical records are not the first, but with a very high on-demand rate, they can occupy the first place on the singles list, which shows that the industry attaches great importance to the radio on-demand rate.
The second point is because of the audience of commercial radio stations.
Because of its official nature, Radio Television Hong Kong has become an authoritative radio station in everyone's hearts, and many adults love to listen to Radio Television Hong Kong.
On the contrary, commercial radio focuses on young people, with young people as the audience of radio stations, with rich and colorful content, commercial radio has indeed become the favorite of young people.
If your song has a high on-demand rate on commercial radio, it means that you have a high popularity and appeal among young people, who will always be the most fanatical, energetic and extensive fan group.
has won the recognition of young people, not only the hot popularity, but also the company's resource tilt, advertisers' sponsorship, and invitations to film and television dramas, etc., it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that young people win the world, Chen Lang is undoubtedly the best proof.
If you won the "Top 10 Chinese Golden Songs" and the top 20 best records of commercial radio, it shows your popularity and appeal among young people, and you are definitely one of the most loved singers in the Hong Kong music scene.
Therefore, even if the awards ceremony of commercial radio stations is a little unimpressive, it has always been an awards ceremony that singers, record companies, and major product companies attach great importance to.
On the evening of January 10, outside the commercial radio Chinese song competition award venue, many fans and media reporters had already gathered, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the appearance of superstar idols.
The first to appear are generally the new generation of singers in the Hong Kong music scene, such as Zhang Delan, Cai Fenghua, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui.
followed by singers who have debuted for a longer time and have good popularity and achievements, similar to Cai Zhentang, Ye Dexian, Alan Tam and so on.
The last to appear are the superstars in the music industry who have outstanding qualifications and achievements, Zhen Ni, Xu Xiaofeng, Guan Zhengjie, Luo Wen, Lin Zixiang and Xu Guanjie.
Among them, there are only two exceptions, that is, Shuang Chen, who is also known as the new generation of twin stars, Chen Lang, a young talent, and Chen Baiqiang, a melancholy prince.
Originally, Chen Lang didn't want to make a finale appearance with the older generation of singers, but the commercial radio station arranged it like this, and Hua Xing and Chen Shufen also persuaded Chen Lang to make a finale appearance in the back.
Because this is the greatest affirmation and praise for Chen Lang's achievements, and it also shows that everyone has put Chen Lang in the same position as the old superstar.
In the later appearance, he proved that he was at the same level as the old superstar, and if he appeared early, he would prove that he was still a rookie singer, Chen Lang was a little speechless about this logic that made people hurt.
Whether he is a superstar or not is only what fans say, but the order of appearance is so troublesome, which is really a little speechless.
Chen Lang was finally able to understand this unspoken rule of ranking seniority and popularity grades, and he had coveted the title of superstar for a long time, so he finally agreed.
As for Chen Baiqiang's situation with Chen Lang, the company has taken great pains to package the two of them as superstars.
Originally, Chen Lang and Hua Xing had a quarrel because of the issue of contract renewal, but after Chen Lang and Fang Yihua reached a private agreement, Fang Yihua's attitude changed, and at the same time, Hua Xing also asked Chen Lang to act as required in order to prove that he could cultivate superstars.
Fortunately, although Chen Lang also appeared later, he was still arranged in front of Xu Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng and others, which made Chen Lang feel that he was not too cheating.
The female companion who got out of the car with Chen Lang was not Honggu Zhong Chuhong, but Li Lizhen.
In order to continue to enhance Li Lizhen's fame, the company has this arrangement, hoping to make Li Lizhen take the position through scandals.
However, Chen Lang originally wanted to walk the red carpet with Honggu, but Honggu was really afraid of another scandal, so she refused, and finally Chen Lang chose Li Lizhen as her female companion after discussing with the company in line with the principle of not wasting it.
The two who walked on the red carpet instantly became the focus of everyone, and fans were shouting frantically when they saw their idols coming.
The reporters saw that the male and female protagonists of the recently popular dark horse movie "Happy Ghost" appeared at the same time, and naturally it was another crazy shooting.
At this time, Chen Lang was wearing a decent casual suit, different from the fashionable neat short hair, with Chen Lang's handsome face and warm smile, which made Chen Lang look charming.
Li Lizhen, on the other side, is wearing a white princess dress carefully created by the company, with a youthful and pretty appearance, and a somewhat nervous expression, looking delicate and lovely.
The two stand together, and the combination of handsome men and beautiful women makes everyone feel pleasing to the eye.
Chen Lang walked to his fan area and shook hands with his fans to say hello.
"Lang Lang, you are so beautiful!"
"Lang Lang, I love you!"
"Lang Lang, wrap up ten songs!"
……
Hearing the screams of the fans, Chen Lang laughed happily, and Li Lizhen on the side was very envious of Chen Lang's popularity, while the reporters only cared about taking pictures.
After greeting the fans, Chen Lang quickly entered the award ceremony.
With Li Lizhen, Chen Lang came to Alan Tam, who had already sat down, and Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui were also sitting not far away.
"Aaron, long time no see." Chen Lang patted Alan Tam's shoulder and smiled.
"I've only seen you for a while." Alan Tam smiled and gave Chen Lang a punch.
"When? How come I don't remember? Chen Lang immediately returned the punch and refused to suffer.
"Yesterday I went to see "Happy Ghost" and met you, a young man."
Chen Lang reacted when he heard this, "Rong Zai, Ah Mei." ”
"Lang Lang, the movie is so good, I laughed to death." Anita Mui walked over and looked at Chen Lang with admiration.
Chen Lang was a little amused when he saw Anita Mui pretending, and after stretching out his hands to mess up Anita Mui's release, he pretended to be angry and said, "Amei, do you know that your appearance is so fake, your acting skills are too bad." ”
Anita Mui screamed and quickly cleaned up her hair, "You bastard, my hair was done for two hours, and it was ruined by you in three seconds, in addition, are you qualified to say that my acting skills are poor, don't you know that your acting skills have been scolded and smelly?" ”
Chen Lang was stunned when he heard this, he really has no talent in acting, maybe he is the kind of actor who needs a role?
Just like Liu Yifei is suitable for playing the little dragon girl, the other roles feel a lot worse.
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed when they saw Chen Lang deflated.
Looking at Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam who were laughing, and Li Lizhen who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Chen Lang felt a little helpless, this was his only stain.
"I'm good at eating with my face, who wants acting."
"Shh......h
Chen Lang's words drew unanimous boos from everyone.
Several future kings and queens did not talk and laugh properly, only Li Lizhen on the side witnessed this moment.
"Seeing you young people, I really feel old." I don't know when, Xu Guanjie stood behind several people.
"Sam!" "Idol!" "God of Song!"
Everyone immediately stood up and said hello.
"Stinky boy, how many times have I said it, don't call me the god of songs, you are pulling hatred for me, you know?" Xu Guanjie punched Chen Lang angrily.
Chen Lang smiled and didn't take it seriously, and Xu Guanjie, who was watching, could only shake his head helplessly.
"Lang Lang, how many golden songs are you going to get tonight?" Xu Guanjie asked.
As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Chen Lang instantly, and Chen Lang felt uncomfortable for a while.
There is no way, Chen Lang's popularity among young people is too high, and several of the people present can be regarded as popular singers of the new generation, but they are obviously a lot worse than Chen Lang.
Even Chen Baiqiang, one of the twin stars, has a big gap with Chen Lang in terms of popularity.
"The more the merrier, the more the merrier." Chen Lang said with a "modest" face.
"You don't even want to have one song tonight!"
"It's just that you don't have your share tonight."
"There should still be a song."
The last sentence must be the words of Chen Baiqiang, the prince of melancholy.
Seeing Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam staring at him, Chen Baiqiang smiled shyly.
Half an hour later, all the invited singers arrived at the award ceremony, and many reporters and some lucky audience members also sat down in the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, and welcome to the award ceremony of the 5th Commercial Radio Chinese Song Awards! I'm the host, Chen Xinjian.
In the past 1983, the Hong Kong music scene gave birth to a large number of classic songs, and a total of 95 songs on commercial radio ranked in the weekly top 10 of the commercial radio Chinese song ring, and 28 songs among these 95 songs won the weekly on-demand championship! ”
With the appearance of the host, the award ceremony officially began.
