Under the watchful eyes of the audience, guests and even the camera, Zhou Yi, who was always smiling all the time, easily high-fived Sun Yanzi and Cheng Hao beside him, and after hugging his parents, he left his seat-

As he strode forward, his slender body was extraordinarily tall against the backdrop of the theater lights.

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi."

Zhu Xun, who was standing here tonight as the representative of the CCTV host, personally handed a trophy shaped like a satellite to the man, and congratulated him sincerely.

The other two hosts, Wu Dawei and Ke Lan, also gave him applause.

"Thank you, Sister Zhu Xun."

Standing in the position where Zhu Xun and Ke Lan got out of the way, Zhou Yi, who was holding the trophy in one hand and breaking the microphone angle with the other, lowered his head slightly-

"Thank you CCTV, thank you ChannelV, and thank you Sister Zhu Xun for giving me this award."

After thanking the organizers including CCTV, Zhou Yi pursed his lips and looked at the music celebrities in the audience, feeling a little wonderful: "Of course, I would like to thank the fans and friends for their support and love for me, thank you." ”

Although he really wanted to skin it, considering that this occasion was the first time after all, Zhou Yi still resisted the desire to say sassy words in his heart.

At the beginning of the millennium, he was a newcomer who still had to be serious, and there were still many leaders sitting in the audience.

However, his fans who bought tickets and entered the stadium were as happy as anything in the audience, especially after seeing Zhou Yi waving at them with the trophy, the cheers were even more shocking.

This is Zhou Yi's first award since his debut.

Nineteen years old, in the traditional concept of contemporary Chinese, this age is really still a teenager.

Became famous at a young age.

Zhou Yi, who was standing in the light, had a bright smile and a high-spirited appearance, even those in the Hong Kong circle had to give a thumbs up and praise a beautiful boy.

High-spirited young man.

The CCTV leaders in the audience were also very satisfied.

Look at this figure, this temperament, and this face, who said that the mainland is inferior to Hong Kong and Taiwan?

A large part of the reason why CCTV came up with this popular award in the mainland is because the Hong Kong and Taiwan awards are too strong, and there are unspoken rules that do not accept or discriminate against mainland singers.

It has been held for six times before, and although the winners are suspected of being self-congratulatory, it is also a mainland award, which can give mainland singers a warm comfort.

And Zhou Yi's birth made the gold content of mainland singers on the seventh list of this year increase exponentially.

After stepping off the stage with the trophy, after playing with it to his parents who were already smiling from ear to ear, Zhou Yi sat down again and watched Zhu Xun and Ke Lan on the stage announce the winner of the second most popular song award - Cai Yilin from Treasure Island.

It's just that she doesn't have Zhou Yi's super-standard treatment of setting the tone with a string of opening words first, she simply said her name, followed by the third award-winning song.

After awarding three most popular song awards in a row, the two winners, except Zhou Yi, went backstage to start performing.

"Strange, why don't you go and get ready for the show?"

Seeing that the lights of the audience were dimmed, and Cai Yilin, who was wrapped in a big blue cotton jacket, was performing her award-winning sweet style song on stage, Cheng Hao, who felt strange, whispered to Zhou Yi's ear and asked.

"Qian Jiang told me that my performance was not at the beginning, but in the middle part, with Wang Lihong and Xie Tingfeng."

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhou Yi vaguely pointed to the two centaurs not far from him.

Cheng Hao suddenly understood.

One of these two is a singer representative pushed by Baodao, and the other is a singer representative pushed by Xiangjiang. None of them have yet to perform, and Zhou Yi's trump card naturally can't be played too early.

"How many prizes do you have tonight?"

"I don't know, I can definitely win the Most Popular Song Award and the Best Newcomer Award, and there is also a Best Singer-Songwriter Award in the Mainland, which no one should be able to take except me."

Zhou Yi counted with his fingers, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "The only variable is that theoretically, it should be the award that was originally going to be given to Sun Nan." ”

As he spoke, his eyes did not forget to fall on Sun Nan, who was sitting not far in front of him.

Cheng Hao, who heard this, was surprised: "Can you take so many?" You're just your first time participating, right? ”

With the mainland's trend of ranking seniority, is Zhou Yi's limelight somewhat contrary to common sense?

How many seniors who debuted early in the mainland still count on this award to brush up on their qualifications?

Qian Jiang said that he was also surprised when he received the notice from the organizing committee, and he guessed that it may be that Xie Tingfeng's popularity after attending the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year stimulated some people in the mainland who were unhappy with the preferential treatment of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I was the only mainland singer who could compete with it in the second half of the year.

Although Sun Nan is strong, he is old after all.

Take a look at the male singers launched by the younger generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan, they are all in their twenties, and Xie Tingfeng has become popular.

Sun Nan, an old gangster, mixed into the mainland, was disgraced after all, not to mention that he couldn't beat Xie Tingfeng.

can only be in the nest, which is even more embarrassing.

Considering the introduction that Zhu Xun deliberately added when he introduced himself at the beginning, Zhou Yi figured out something interesting.

It's just that whether it's as he thinks depends on how much he can get in the follow-up awards.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yi's speculation is somewhat accurate.

"Best Newcomer Award: Sun Yanzi."

"Best Newcomer Award: Zhou Yi!"

After sitting in the audience for less than twenty minutes, Zhou Yi heard his name from Zhu Xun's mouth again. To his surprise, the guest of honor was Sun Nan, the first brother in the mainland at this stage???

Didn't he come to receive the award?

Why are you still here to present the awards?

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi, you did a great job."

"Congratulations, Yanzi Sun."

Sun Nan, who seemed to be approachable, had a smile on his face, and personally handed over the two best newcomer awards for men and women to the two newcomers in front of him.

"Thank you, Brother Sun Nan."

His eyes vaguely swept over Liu Huan, who was sitting as steady as Mount Tai under the stage, and Zhou Yi thanked him.

That's where it gets interesting.

Looking at the previous editions of this awards ceremony, even if it is to present awards, it should be an old-timer like Liu Huan, who is no longer on the same track as pop singers, to come out and present the awards.

Sun Nan is in the prime of life, how did he get mixed up with the award table this time.

Sun Yanzi, who won the only trophy tonight, didn't know the psychological activities of Zhou Yi and Sun Nan, but she also said thank you beautifully, and then went backstage to prepare for the performance.

After getting off the stage, Zhou Yi's butt was not hot, and not long after Sun Yanzi sang, he heard his name on the stage again-

Wu Zongxian's joint award presenters Zhang Yimou and Tang Jili gave him another award.

Best Album Video Award: "Love Heaven and Earth", Dawn. Congratulations Dawn! ”

Best Album Video Award: "Flower Field Wrong", Zhou Yi! Congratulations to Zhou Yi! ”

Zhou Yi, who took the trophy from Lao Mouzi, who didn't have so many wrinkles, looked at the crowd in the audience, and he didn't know how to say the speech.

This is CCTV official riveting to gild him.

Sure enough, after he came off the field with his third trophy of the night, about twenty minutes later, he was on stage again.

"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation: Wang Lihong."

"Best singer-songwriter of the new generation: Xie Tingfeng."

"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation - let's congratulate, Zhou Yi!"

In the audience, the fans who don't know why are about to shout crazy.

Sun Nan, who applauded from the audience, had a professional smirk on his face, but he secretly gritted his teeth, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

From the moment he knew he was going to be the guest of honor tonight, there was no luck in his psyche. The honor that once belonged to him on the stage is no longer exclusive to him.

Let him personally award the newcomer award to Zhou Yi, which is the last dignity that the official asked him to keep, as the decency of his predecessors.

Damn it!

Grabbed my resources, and now they are going to grab my place!

You're only nineteen, what are you anxious about?!

Sun Nan was unwilling, but in the face of Zhou Yi's surging offensive, he had no ability to resist at all.

I can only step down from the throne in embarrassment and be a spectator applauding from the audience.

17 January 2001, 9.30 p.m.

The position that once symbolized the first brother in the mainland music scene was officially handed over from Sun Nan's hands to Zhou Yi's hands-

"The Most Popular Male Singer Award in the 7th Global Chinese Music Chart: Zhou Yi !!"

Zhou Yi, who won five trophies from the most popular song, best newcomer to most popular male singer, best album video, and best singer-songwriter with the album "Zhou Yi", became the biggest winner on this night and completed the last transformation.

Nineteen-year-old Zhou Yi greeted the light, and under the gaze of his parents, Sun Yanzi, Cheng Hao and others, he crossed Sun Nan, Na Ying, Tengger, Yu Quan, Pu Shu and others, and officially wore the crown of the first brother in the mainland music scene!
