Chapter 57: Finalist

On the street, a reporter from the Youth Education Channel stopped a young man at random and said, "Hello, I'm sorry to bother, I'm a reporter from CCTV, do you usually read comics?" Have you ever seen a light girl? ”

"I've seen it, and I kind of like this comic." The interviewee nodded in affirmation.

"You, Weishenme, would love this comic, what attracted you to this comic?" Then he asked.

"Because the main character in the manga is so cute, I couldn't help but like it when I first saw it." When the young man interviewed answered this question, the expression on his face was a little shy and a little embarrassed.

Another interviewee was a female junior high school student, still wearing a school uniform, and after answering that she usually likes to read comics, the reporter then asked: "Have you ever seen a girl with a light voice?" What do you think of this manga? ”

"The light-sounding girl is the most haode now.,Of course I've seen it.,This comic is great.,The students in our class like it very much.。

"Some people say that this manga is vulgar and not suitable for teenagers, do you think this statement is correct?"

Then he asked, and the female junior high school student said: "I have also paid attention to the reports during this time, and I usually communicate with some friends when I go online, and my friends think this statement is ridiculous." ”

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€

The reporter then asked, and the female junior high school student laughed: "Comics are originally fictional, I think school uniforms and clubs really can't constitute the target of criticism, if everything is realistic, then it is better to watch a documentary." The only thing that can be considered overdone so far in the manga serialization is that Mio fell on the stage and accidentally exposed her underwear. ”

"I don't know what the experts are worried about, but the main character's school in the manga is a girls' school, and Mio is very shy when she is gone. Are experts worried that we will deliberately fall and walk naked to attract the attention of others? Please, we can tell what's haode and what's bad, and we don't need to be dictated by others. ”

The sensation caused by the comics has not completely subsided, and some other media will often mention it after the Youth Education Channel, but Zhang Yao has diverted their attention.

Zheng Xiaoyi's album "Let Me Introduce Myself Again" ended with a total sales of more than 2.3 million, followed by the "Infernal Affairs" movie, with a box office of as high as 1.6 billion soft girl coins.

"Congratulations, Mr. 100 million box office screenwriter."

After Zheng Xiaoyi came back with such a good result, his expression was like a spring breeze, and he teased Zhang Yao, Zhang Yao scratched his head and said: "The report said that this is the highest box office record for Chinese films, and I didn't expect that an idea would be so powerful." ”

Originally, in time and space, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" was also very good, but it was not so rebellious, even in the ten years after its release, the most popular domestic films were more than 1.2 billion, which cannot be compared at all.

Thinking about the fact that the market in this time and space is also very large, and Zhang Yao is relieved that the copyright is well protected, Ai Xiaoqi said: "With the on-demand broadcast of the Internet and the sale of DVD versions, the total income is estimated to be at least two billion, so they don't say anything to Zhang Yao, a great hero?" ”

"Yes, but we don't have a chance to go."

Zheng Xiao also nodded and smiled: "Song Ge Film and Television invited us to participate in the celebration banquet of the film, and the time coincides with the Gramophone annual ceremony, unless we give up this award ceremony, it will be about the same." ”

"Speaking of which, it's true that the Gramophone Awards are not a few days away."

Zhang Yao said: "Let's push off the celebration party, music is our main job, and it's not this to work hard to get the album out in March, how can anyone give up the annual event in the music industry in order to participate in the celebration banquet of the movie." ”

"Sister Xiaoyi, has the invitation been issued, how many strengths have you been shortlisted?"

Ai Xiaoqi immediately diverted his attention, and Zheng Xiaoyi took out two gramophone-style cards and said: "This is the invitation, Zhang Yao and I have been shortlisted, and I feel that the harvest should not be handy." ”

"I hereby invite Ms. Zheng Xiaoyi to attend the Gramophone Music Billboard Annual Ceremony at the Capital Gymnasium in Beijing on April 6."

Ai Xiaoqi read it out word by word, and the back of the invitation letter also had the strengths of the finalists, and she dug up and said as soon as she saw it: "Wow, Sister Xiaoyi, you have been shortlisted for a lot of awards." ”

Zhang Yao took a look at it, and Zheng Xiao was also shortlisted for four awards: Best Album, Best Female Singer, Most Popular Female Singer in the Mainland, and Best Album Producer, all of which will be heavyweight.

"What about mine, which awards have you been shortlisted for?"

In the past, Zhang Yao didn't even have the qualifications to see the enthusiasm, but now he is naturally very excited to be shortlisted, Ai Xiaoqi opened it and said: "Yours is the best EP, the best newcomer, the best lyricist and the best composition, and there are also four shortlisted, but the weight of the best songwriter is lighter." ”

"This is just for fans, in the eyes of fans, the aura of songwriters is indeed not as good as that of stars, but in the industry, it is different, no one will underestimate songwriters."

Zheng Xiaoyi said with a smile: "There are five shortlisted candidates for each award, and Zhang Yao has been shortlisted for three songs for lyrics and composition, and these two awards are also nine out of ten, and the same is true for the best EP." ”

The singer knows very well that he can become a star, and respect for the songwriter is inevitable, and what can a song star do without haode to attract fans? Zheng Xiaoyi has been lonely because of this before, and he will definitely not be able to turn over without haode's works.

Best lyricist Zhang Yao was shortlisted for "Childhood", "Not That Simple" and "Woman Flower", and the best composition was without "It's Not That Simple", and the shortlisted became "Love You a Thousand Times in My Life".

In the case of Zhang Yao, in fact, these songs are all as classic, and they can't tell which is better or worse, and "My Future Is Not a Dream" and "Red Dragonfly", which were not shortlisted, are the same, but the judges have their own standards.

"Although Gramophone's album score does not mean that it will win an award, it is also known as the vane of the awards ceremony.

Ai Xiaoqi is very confident in Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi, and said: "Best lyrics and best composition, I estimate that the five candidates are all Zhang Yao, which is a bit unsightly, and the organizing committee weighed it before doing this." ”

"It doesn't matter if you can win the prize."

Zhang Yao can understand the painstaking efforts of the organizing committee, and said: "It is not easy to maintain the prestige of an award ceremony, and the monopoly of awards is actually not beneficial to the development of music itself, and it is natural to do so." ”

Originally, the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s was the world of Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam, and the major award ceremonies were the stage and battlefield for the two of them, until the two announced that they would no longer participate in any awards.

After the two superstars, the Four Kings came out, and the 90s was the era of the Four Heavenly Kings, creating countless glories, but also causing a lot of criticism, many people said that their monopoly hurt the development of the Hong Kong music scene.

Zhang Yao feels that this statement is a bit excessive, after all, any industry is like a pyramid, there are always people standing at the top, and some people are pressed below, but since there will be this statement, there should be some truth.

Zheng Xiaoyi said: "If there are only a few people playing at an award ceremony, then it can't be done, and there is really no need to dwell on these." ”

"Hey, I'm talking to you, why did you educate me instead."

Zheng Xiao pouted dissatisfiedly, and then asked, "By the way, what about Yu Yao, how many awards has she been shortlisted for?" ”

"There are notices in this gramophone magazine and on the official website that she was only shortlisted for two awards: Best Female Singer and Best Female Singer in the Mainland."

Zheng Xiao also said: "In addition, there is a direct competition for the top ten golden songs of the year, this award is voted by fans, in fact, it is to select the ten most popular songs of the year." ”

"Anyway, it should overpower Yuyao anyway, so just the two of you come on, I'll watch the two of you win the prize on the TV."

Ai Xiaoqi waved his fist to cheer them up, and Zhang Yao said suspiciously: "Wait, you mean not to join us in the fun?" This doesn't suit your character, but the 6th happens to be a holiday. ”

"The award ceremony is on the evening of the 6th, and the Qingming Festival will be closed on the 7th, okay?"

Ai Xiaoqi looked a little bored, and said: "I don't know when my family will go to the grave to worship their ancestors, so I have to toss back and forth on a plane to watch an award ceremony, so I don't want to suffer this kind of torture, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

"Well, but as far as Sister Xiaoyi and I are concerned, there is a lot of pressure on lonely men and widows."

One more person is more lively, Zhang Yao still hopes that Ai Xiaoqi can also go together, but when he said this, he was attacked by the two women repeatedly.

"No kidding, if Xiaoqi doesn't go, just wait for us to return triumphantly. Zhang Yao, we can only live in the imperial capital on the night of the 6th, you have to ask the school for leave first. ”

After Zheng Xiaoyi finished speaking, he took out a bag from the sofa and said, "You can simply clean up and salute, this is the dress I bought for you when I came back, so I will wear this set when the time comes." ”

"Sister Xiaoyi, Xiexie you."

Zhang Yao first expressed his gratitude, and then said weakly: "But don't make it so grand, I feel uncomfortable wearing formal clothes, let alone dresses, or T-shirts and jeans are comfortable." ”

"Please, you have to walk the red carpet before the awards, if you really wear a T-shirt and jeans on the red carpet, don't say I know you later."

Ai Xiaoqi complained, snatched the bag in Zhang Yao's hand and said, "I'll see what style it is first, with Sister Xiaoyi's eyes, it must be no worse." ”

"When I participated in the event in the magic capital before, I deliberately took time out to take a look."

Zheng Xiao also explained and said: "Zhang Yao, the Gramophone Annual Ceremony is a grand event in the Chinese music scene, and you really need to dress ceremoniously, otherwise some people will say that you don't pay attention to it, don't respect the award or something." ”

"Okay then."

Zhang Yao nodded, it's better not to let the entertainment reporter use the topic to play.
