Chapter 307: Awards Season
When Chen Lang was studying hard in school, Hua Xing was worried that Chen Lang's exposure would decrease, so he wanted Chen Lang to appear in front of everyone from time to time, but later Hua Xing found that this worry seemed to be a little redundant.
Because every day the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" serialized in "Oriental Daily" reminds people of Chen Lang, and at the same time, a single copy of the "Zhu Xian" comic is released every month and a half, which also makes everyone talk about Chen Lang.
So Chen Lang has more time to concentrate on his studies, Chen Lang does not listen to things outside the window, and only reads the sages The days pass quickly, under the guidance of the head teacher Dongfang Xin and the teachers, Chen Lang has made great progress in learning.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year of 1983 has arrived.
At the end of the year, there is also a special season for the major entertainment industries - awards season.
The most popular film and music awards are coming from the increasingly popular film and music award ceremonies.
In terms of films, in the past 1982, Hong Kong gave birth to its own film awards ceremony - the Hong Kong Film Awards.
The Hong Kong Film Awards (HKFA) is one of the most important awards in the Hong Kong and Greater China film industry, organized by the professional film magazine "Film Fortnightly", co-organized by Radio Television Hong Kong, and organized and awarded by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association every year.
Unlike the Golden Rooster Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, where the jury composed of dozens of professional judges votes to determine the winners, the Hong Kong Film Awards adopts a multi-round, multi-person, and multi-level film review system similar to the Academy Awards.
The "Academy Awards Voters", composed of 13 members of the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild and the Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild, and the "Professional Jury" composed of film industry insiders and professional media workers recommended and invited by the Selection Committee, selected the final winners after two rounds of voting.
The Chinese Film Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards are also known as the three major awards for Chinese films.
The first Hong Kong Film Awards was held at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in April 1982, but because it was a grassroots creation, there were many shortcomings.
For example, in terms of awards, the first Hong Kong Film Awards only set up five awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress.
The first Hong Kong Film Awards was also the only one that was not televised, and there was no list of award nominees at all, which means that filmmakers were invited to attend the ceremony, but they didn't even know if they were shortlisted.
At the same time, although the Hong Kong film market is becoming more and more prosperous, a large number of good movies have appeared, and they have also dominated the whole of Asia, but the Hong Kong Film Awards, which were created by the grass, are very shabby because they have no sponsorship, and they do not have the bearing of an award ceremony at all, which is far from Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards.
Coupled with the lack of popularity and influence, many filmmakers who came to participate were very unimpressed.
This was not until later with the addition of television broadcasts, increasing sponsorship and the invincibility of Hong Kong films in Asia, which made the Hong Kong Film Awards more and more important, and even became one of the most important film awards in Asia.
In terms of music, the three most important awards for Hong Kong musicians are the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award Ceremony, the Golden Record Award Ceremony and the Commercial Taiwan Chinese Song Competition Award.
As for the top ten golden songs award ceremony, the top pop chart award ceremony and the new city hot music award ceremony in the four famous awards ceremonies in later generations, they have not yet been born.
Among them, the Golden Disc Awards Ceremony is generally scheduled in the summer because the sales are counted from March to March of the following year, and the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony and the Commercial Taiwan Chinese Song Competition Award are selected in January.
Chen Lang was nominated and invited to two award ceremonies because of the word-of-mouth and sales of his second album "Catchy".
First up was the Commercial Radio Chinese Pitch Awards.
As one of the two major radio stations in Hong Kong, the selection criteria for commercial radio stations are naturally the on-demand rate of radio stations, but in addition to the annual Top 20 records, the awards presented by commercial radio stations will also select the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of mixing golden records and the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.
The Top 20 albums issued by commercial radio include Xu Guanjie's "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" and "Best Partner Show Magical Powers", Teresa Teng's "Teresa Teng Concert", Chen Lang's "Catchy", Alan Tam's "Lover, Goddess" and "Hardcover Alan Tam", Chen Baiqiang's "Breakthrough Selection" and "Confide", Lianna's "Infatuation" and so on.
It can be seen from this that many singers now release multiple records in a year, and the number of records released by top singers like Chen Lang with strong popularity and market appeal is obviously small.
It is worth mentioning that Alan Tam was able to become the king of record sales in his previous life, which also has a certain relationship with the number of records he released.
A superstar like Anita Mui is actually no worse than Alan Tam in terms of popularity and market appeal, but there is a huge difference in record sales between the two, and one of the reasons is that Alan Tam has released almost twice as many records as Anita Mui.
Finally, among the top ten commercial station Chinese golden songs selected by commercial radio, Chen Lang is the only three yuan, and the three songs "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "The Rainy Season at the Age of Seventeen" and "My Future Is Not a Dream" are ranked among the top ten at the same time, which shows the great influence of Chen Lang's songs among teenagers.
The remaining seven songs are from Xu Guanjie's "Best Partner", Chen Baiqiang's "Breakthrough" and "Ripples", Cai Fenghua's "The Beginning of Man", Alan Tam's "Rain, Love", Leianna's "Infatuation" and Xu Xiaofeng's "Star Ask".
At the awards ceremony of commercial radio, Chen Lang met a number of top masters in the Hong Kong music scene, but Chen Lang is only familiar with Xu Guanjie, Alan Tam and Chen Baiqiang, and the others are just nodding friends.
"You kid can give it up, but I really didn't expect you kid to be so powerful, and he actually took three out of ten songs by himself." Alan Tam gave a punch when he saw Chen Lang coming up, and said with a sour taste.
"No way, genius is always different." Chen Lang was able to take a day off from his painful study, and his heart was also a lot more relaxed, and he was very happy to see his good friends who he hadn't seen for a long time.
