Chapter 503: Media Coverage

"Last night, the 7th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony came to a grand end, and the major awards fell to each family, which can be described as a few joys and sorrows, and the high-profile Tan Chen dispute also came to an end temporarily.

At last night's ceremony, Chen Lang's "I Am a Little Bird" and "Glorious Years" both won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, while Chen Lang won the Best Chinese (Pop) Song Award for "Red Sun", which was recognized by the industry authority for the first time in song creation, and finally won the IFPI Award for the ceremony with two golden songs.

Chen Lang won four awards alone, becoming the biggest winner last night, and was in a strong position in the competition for the most popular male singer five days later.

Alan Tam's "The Root of Love" and "Love in Late Autumn" also won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, and also won the IFPI Award for winning two Golden Melody Awards, and it is worth mentioning that his record "The Root of Love" also won the Best Record Producer Award.

Alan Tam won the three grand prizes of the ceremony last night and became the winner after Chen Lang.

The rivalry between Chan Lang and Alan Tam has been going through the two awards ceremonies that have already taken place, and the winner will be decided in five days.

So far, in the commercial radio awards ceremony, Chen Lang with 3 golden song awards and 1 top 20 records ahead of Alan Tam, who won 2 golden songs and 1 top 20 records, in the RTHK award ceremony, Chen Lang won 1 best Chinese (pop) song award over Alan Tam, who won 3 awards.

Judging from the situation of the two major award ceremonies, Chen Lang is currently one position ahead in the competition for the most popular male singer, but Alan Tam also performed well in the awards ceremony this year, only slightly inferior to Chen Lang, and there is also a great chance of reversal in the final award competition. ”

"Another big awards ceremony of Crazy January officially came to an end last night, the singers and the major record companies were happy or sad, but these are not important, the important thing is that our crazy star chasers once again dedicated a wonderful confrontation for everyone.

It can be seen from the two awards ceremonies that have ended, that the current new generation of singers has completely captured the hearts of the younger generation of fans, and the passion and madness of young fans have shocked everyone.

Among the many singers, there are five singers who have a large number of fans and are enthusiastic, these five people are Chen Lang, Alan Tam, Chen Baiqiang, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, the four male singers are the leaders of the new generation of male singers, and Anita Mui is also a well-deserved first person among the new generation of female singers.

These five singers are the most popular and charismatic singers in Hong Kong's music scene at the moment, and if nothing else, they will also be superstars in the following years of the 80s.

Anita Mui is a singer close to the status of a diva among female singers, and her popularity is unrivaled among female singers, but among male singers, although Chen Baiqiang and Leslie Cheung are also very popular, there is still a gap between Chen Lang and Alan Tam.

The rivalry between Chan Lang and Alan Tam was well known in Hong Kong long before Crazy January began, and the competition in the two awards ceremonies that have been held so far has also reached a fever pitch, with two fans equally eye-catching.

From the beginning of the red carpet, the fans of the two began to compete, and when the awards ceremony was held, especially when the two singers won the award, the enthusiasm of their fans shocked the entire Red Pavilion.

The most exciting scene is undoubtedly when Chen Lang sang "I Am a Little Bird", all Chen Lang's fans in the audience sang loudly, turning the entire Red Pavilion into Chen Lang's personal concert scene.

Chen Lang's fans' support and love for idols were vividly displayed, and the scene of the whole chorus also shocked all the audience.

But then Alan Tam's fans quickly fought back after winning the award in "Love in Late Autumn", and the scene became a concert again, but the singer became Alan Tam, and while shocked by Alan Tam's skyrocketing popularity among young people, the confrontation between the two major fan groups also made countless people admire.

In the end, when the two biggest competitors won the award at the same time, only two names "Alun" and "Lang Lang" echoed in the Red Pavilion, and the competition between the two fans undoubtedly became one of the most beautiful scenery last night. ”

"The 7th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony ended grandly last night, and the battle between Chen Lang and Alan Tam was full of sparks, and the battle between Anita Mui and Zhenni was also full of smoke.

In the awards ceremony of commercial radio, Anita Mui won the top 20 records and 1 golden song, and Zhen Ni also won the same result, but Zhen Ni's award-winning golden song was a song sung with Xu Guanjie, which made Zhen Ni slightly inferior in the competition.

In last night's ceremony, Anita Mui and Jenny once again won a golden song, and Anita Mui's record "Flying Stage" also won the Best Envelope Design Award, although it has little to do with the singer itself, but the record award still gives Anita Mui a little more advantage.

In terms of awards, Anita Mui is slightly ahead for the time being, but so far, Jenny's record "Charming May" has sold 270,000, while Anita Mui's "Leaping Stage" has just reached 5 platinum, and Jenny has a slight advantage in sales.

It is also worth mentioning that in last night's ceremony, only three female singers won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, except for Zhen Ni and Anita Mui, Su Rui.

The female singer became famous in her first year in Hong Kong for the song "Dry Wine Sells Nothing", she not only won a top ten Chinese golden song award, but also won the most popular performance Chinese song award, arguably the best female singer last night.

She also has a performance that is not inferior to Anita Mui and Jenny at the commercial radio awards ceremony, if you only look at the awards, Su Rui is definitely the most outstanding female singer.

But Su Rui was born in Taiwan, and she has only been in Hong Kong for a year, the Most Popular Female Singer Award of the Top Ten Golden Songs In addition to the affirmation of professionals, the votes of fans also account for a large proportion, compared with Anita Mui and Zhen Ni, Su Rui, who just came to Hong Kong from Taiwan, obviously has a great disadvantage.

In the case of almost or even some gap in the strength of singers, the difference in identity is fatal, and the regional concept exists in all countries and regions, so I think that although Su Rui's performance is excellent, the final choice of the queen can still only be between Jenny and Anita Mui, as for who won the award, we can only wait for 5 days to be revealed. ”

"The 7th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony has ended, the major popular singers can be described as shining all over the audience, and the award-winning singers have caused a climax of the scene, but beside the major singers, we can always see the senior management of the major record companies, because the ceremony is not only a feast for singers, but also a battlefield for major record companies to compete for.

At last night's awards ceremony, a total of 10 Golden Melody Awards and another 9 awards were awarded, and the high-profile Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards were awarded to a total of eight singers, but they were divided among four record companies.

Huaxing Records won a total of four golden songs because of Chen Lang's two goals, as well as the outstanding performances of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, and won the audience.

Alan Tam's solo two yuan and Su Rui's outstanding performance won three golden song trophies for PolyGram, ranking second.

Warner Records won two golden songs with the trophies of Chen Baiqiang and Lin Zixiang and became the third runner-up.

The last golden song was included by Jenny, and LL Records became the fourth record company to receive the top ten Chinese golden songs.

Among the other 9 major awards, Chen Huixian won the Most Promising Newcomer Award, Alan Tam's record "The Root of Love" won the Best Record Producer Award, Su Rui's "Dry Wine Sells Nothing" won the Best Chinese Performance Song Award, Alan Tam also won the IFPI Award, and Polygram won four awards for a record company.

Chen Lang won the Best Chinese (Pop) Song Award for "Red Sun" and won the IFPI Award, both of which have nothing to do with the record, so these two awards can be counted on the head of LL Records.

Anita Mui's album "Flying Stage" won the Best Record Envelope Design Award, winning an award for Huaxing Records.

As for Xu Riqin's award for the most creative song, Lin Zhenqiang's award for the best Chinese (pop) lyrics, and Liu Dong's highest honor, because the three are now independent of the record label and do not belong to any record label, so they are not counted.

To sum up, Polygram Records won 7 awards alone, domineering and suppressing the audience.

Huaxing Records won 5 awards, ranking second.

LL Records won 3 major awards and became the third runner-up last night.

Warner Records ranked fourth among record labels with 2 Golden Melody Trophies.

Except for Polygram, Huaxing, Warner and LL Records, the other record companies did nothing.

From last night's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards ceremony, we got a conclusion that although Hong Kong's record market is still growing, Hong Kong has gathered more and more record companies, and the music scene will also pour in a lot of new talents every year, but in the competition for awards is monopolized by four record companies.

In terms of awards and sales, Polygram, Huaxing, Warner and LL Records can be said to be the top four record companies among Hong Kong record companies, and the other Kangyi Chengyin, Entertainment, Eternity, CBS/Xinli, etc. can only be regarded as second-rate.

PolyGram, as the long-standing hegemon of Hong Kong record labels, dominates the scene, while the battle between Huaxing, Warner and LL Records is fierce.

Huaxing, who originally owned Chen Lang, will undoubtedly be the second best candidate in the Hong Kong record company, but after Chen Lang left Huaxing, founded LL Records and signed Zhen Ni and Xu Guanjie, he instantly ranked among the first-class Hong Kong record companies, and has the ability to compete with Huaxing and Warner for the second place.

As for other record companies such as Kangyi Sound, Entertainment, Eternity and CBS/Xinli, they are obviously at a disadvantage in the fierce competition, not to mention other record companies that are not in the stream.

In the current Hong Kong music scene, Polygram is the only one, Huaxing, Warner and LL Records, the three first-class record companies are fighting for the second position, and other record companies are working hard to enter the list of first-class record companies. ”
