Chapter 102: The First Collision of the Fortnight (3) [7k words]
For this year's nominees for Best Composition, losing to "Hanada Wrong" is not a very uncomfortable thing.
At the moment when the R&B genre is on fire, Zhou Yi is the first person to innovatively integrate Western R&B with Eastern Peking Opera to such a point.
In comparison, whether it is Li Zongsheng, Zhang Yu and others who take the traditional route, or Jay Chou, whose composition is also full of imagination, they are slightly inferior in innovation.
And this is exactly what the jury of this year's Golden Melody Awards values the most.
"How about Zhou Yi, the first time you participated in the Golden Melody Awards, you got your second Golden Melody Trophy, how do you feel in your heart?"
Wu Zongxian, who was in control of the scene, looked at Zhou Yi, who was proud of the spring breeze after winning the trophy, and stood beside the host stage with a smile: "Is there any trick to writing songs that you can share with me, and you can tell me quietly."
"It's better to tell me quietly, I also want to do the whole album by myself like you, so it's easy to release an album."
When the singers and record company executives in the audience heard this, they all showed a knowing smile on their faces.
"Absolutely."
Zhou Yi, who was holding the trophy, pretended to approach Wu Zongxian, obviously speaking in a low voice, but the microphone in his hand was handed to his mouth at some point, and the trick of writing songs suddenly spread throughout the venue: "Read more books and read more newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more." Really, don't lie to you, Brother Xian, this really works. β
ββ¦β¦β
Wu Zongxian, who had never heard this kind of answer, failed to organize the language at the first time, and instinctively widened his eyes to match Zhou Yi's serious nonsense posture, which immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter.
Stefanie Sun, who doesn't have any idol baggage, whistled a few times, grinned, and the shiny front teeth shot was particularly eye-catching.
"That, classmate Xiao Zhou - you haven't graduated yet, it's okay for me to call you that."
After the laughter in the audience subsided, and after coughing twice in embarrassment, Wu Zongxian raised his head slightly, and looked up and down at the man beside him who was more than 1.8 meters a few times with a suspicious gaze: "For the sake of us who have known each other for a long time, you shouldn't lie to me, right?" β
"I never lie, and those who know me know it, and I have a good reputation."
Zhou Yi shrugged his shoulders: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Jielun, when he asked me to play, I didn't arrive on time and never let him go." β
"So is the inspiration for the song "Bullfighting" in Jay's "JAY" that the two of you often date balls? I remember in the photo not long ago, you really liked to shoot threes. β
After a few bends, he returned to Wu Zongxian on the news of "Gemini Love Exposed", and even Jay Chou was teased by him: "So Jay Lun, who is the girlfriend in this song?" β
Jay Chou in the audience was obviously a little shy after being cue, and the moment he raised his right hand, the back of his hand blocked his mouth and smiled without speaking.
Sun Yanzi, who was still making a fuss before, also reflected the purpose of Wu Zongxian's "uneasy and kind" ridicule, and sat in her place with a smile amid the sudden earth-shaking screams of the fans, looking like a lady.
After the scandal of the Warner twin stars came out, even though Jackie Chan and Zhang Ziyi came out to attract firepower, there were still quite a few fans among the two of them who ate this scandal.
Even on the Internet, there have been some love fans who specialize in capturing the "Warner Gemini Twin Sweet Past" to prove the authenticity of their relationship.
Thanks to the unilateral restriction of Zhou Yi by Treasure Island before, in some surveillance videos thrown out by Warner, the relationship between Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi has simply become a source of energy for these love fans to generate their own electricity.
When Zhou Yi's parents in the audience heard Wu Zongxian ridicule like this, their eyes immediately fell on Sun Yanzi, who suddenly became quiet under the gaze of the audience.
Then, they saw a middle-aged man with a top turned to look at them from his seat: "I am Yanzi's father, Sun Yaohong. The two of you are Zhou Yi's parents, your son is really amazing......"
In the area that the camera did not notice, Sun Yaohong had his first contact with Zhou Yi's parents.
In a kind laugh, Zhou Yi, who lifted the second trophy tonight, stepped off the stage, and the camera followed his footsteps until he was completely seated.
Zhou Yi, who wanted to hand over the trophy to his parents for safekeeping, turned his head and saw that the second elder was chatting with Sun Yanzi's father and didn't know what he was talking about, and his mouth was gushing, so he didn't bother and left the trophy in his hand-
"Give me a touch of this trophy first."
Sun Yanzi, whose eyes floated over several times, still couldn't hold back after all, and stretched out her hand with a smile.
She shouldn't have a chance to get her own golden melody trophy tonight, but fortunately, she can still touch Zhou Yi's trophy and have a good time.
"It's charged."
"Isn't it just a trophy for your size, and I still have a newcomer trophy at the Singapore Golden Melody Awards."
Sun Yanzi, who took the trophy from Zhou Yi and weighed it carefully several times, pretended to be disdainful and said, "You don't." β
"It's hard for me to say who took advantage of the home game."
Seeing Sun Yanzi perform a self-deceptive method that can be called a bull and a horse, Zhou Yi laughed mercilessly.
Sun Yanzi, who had a very effective spiritual victory method, didn't bother to reply to him, but stuffed it back into Zhou Yi's hand after playing with the trophy: "It's not interesting, that's it, I'll give it back to you." β
ββ¦β¦β
Thank you.
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes vaguely: "If you want to take it, you can help me get it." I have six nominations, and I should have something to do next. β
ββ¦β¦ How many trophies do you think you'll win at the end? β
Seeing that the performance started on stage again, after the lights dimmed, Sun Yanzi tilted her head tactically, leaned into Zhou Yi's ear and whispered: "How do I feel that you seem to have a great advantage, you won't really let you do wholesale, right?" β
"Don't say it, I'm a little confused about the jury of this Golden Melody Awards now."
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, and there was a rare little uncertainty in his tone. He was nominated for two nominations in a row, which he did not expect in advance.
Could it be that his album is more in line with the tastes of this year's judges?
At the same time, Jay Chou, who missed the nomination twice in a row, became a little lost after the joke, and his good partner Fang Wenshan who was sitting next to him became nervous-
"Jayron, we shouldn't be able to win a single nomination."
Seeing that the shortlist for the Best Lyricist Award had already begun to be displayed on the stage, Fang Wenshan, who saw his name, also sat up straight, crossed his fingers in front of his lips, and took several deep breaths in a row.
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi, who were sitting not far away.
This time for the Best Lyrics Award, Zhou Yi is still nominated.
You can't be a triple hit, can you?
How optimistic is the Golden Melody Award winner about him?
"It's hard to say, Ah Yi's work shortlisted for the best lyrics is "Give Me Time for a Song". Jay Chou, who has always been extremely confident in music, inevitably suffered a bit of frustration in his mentality after losing two trophies in a row.
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he personally liked the song.
Zhou Yi also gave him a lot of inspiration in the handling of this song.
Fang Wenshan's words for "Lady" are amazing, but if he is the judge, he still prefers Zhou Yi.
Not to mention the competition for the Best Lyricist Award, there are three strong opponents -
Lin Xi's "Laughing and Forgetting Book" is from Faye Wong's album "Fable";
Na Ying's own lyrics of "Sad Romance" are from the album "Sad Romance";
Li Zongsheng's "Twelfth Floor" is from Karen Mok's album "Karen Mok on the Twelfth Floor".
"Well, do you think you can still take it?"
The moment she saw the final shortlist, Sun Yanzi, who was holding the trophy of the Zhou Yi Best Composition Award in her hand, turned her head and teased: "I think you have great hopes, according to the Golden Melody Award just now." β
"Honestly, I don't know, but I do want to take it."
Zhou Yi shook his head.
In his impression, the best lyricist winner of this year's Golden Melody Awards should be "Sad Romance" written by Na Ying herself.
Coupled with the queen of golden songs, the two heavyweight golden melody trophies are the foundation for Na Ying to sit in the big sister position in the music world in the future and no one can shake it.
In terms of her status in the music world, she was able to completely get rid of Tian Zhen, Sun Yue and others, and she also started from winning these two heavyweight Golden Melody trophies at this Golden Melody Awards.
"The winner of the Best Lyricist Award at the 12th Golden Melody Awards isβ"
seemed to be aware of the anticipation of Zhou Yi, Fang Wenshan, Jay Chou and others in the audience, on the stage, the other female host in charge of the lottery shook a shot, and after elongating the tone, the camera turned to the audience for a moment-
the nervous Jay Chou Fang Wenshan, the Sun Yanzi who clutched the Best Composition Award trophy because of nervousness, and Zhou Yi, who finally didn't seem so calm;
Na Ying was already taking deep breaths to adjust her heart rate, which was constantly rising due to nervousness.
Only one of Li Zongsheng's old gods sat comfortably in his position, and he could still raise his hand to interact when he saw the camera, and he didn't see any emotional abnormalities at all.
"Li Zongsheng, "The Twelfth Floor"! Let's congratulate Lao Li! β
At the moment when the female supporter opened the lottery, the scene also sounded "The Twelfth Floor" sung by Karen Mok. Li Zongsheng, who didn't expect that he could win the best lyrics, flashed a trace of astonishment in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, got up and hugged his friends.
Zhou Yi, who was sitting in the position, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he saw Li Zongsheng walking towards him, he stood up while applauding, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations." β
"Thank you."
Li Zongsheng smiled and patted the shoulder of the young man in front of him, and then took the stage to receive the trophy after shaking hands with Na Ying, Fang Wenshan and others one by one.
The stage lights hit the leader of the Chinese music scene of the previous era, illuminating the white hair on his sideburns: "To be honest, I was really surprised to win this award. Last year, when I heard the music of a new generation of musicians such as Zhou Yi and Jay Chou, I told Hua Jian that our era may be coming to an end. β
Saying that, he also smiled with relief: "Thank you for the Golden Melody Award for allowing Xiao Li to breathe a little longer, thank you." β
The modest speech was in line with Li Zongsheng's consistent style, and Zhou Yifa, who had not had much contact with Li Zongsheng, applauded sincerely.
"Looks like your next best arrangement is a bit dangerous. If I'm not mistaken, you were shortlisted for the best arrangement for "Hate Dream of Red Mansions", right? β
Seeing Li Zongsheng walk off the stage after winning the award, Sun Yanzi speculated in a low voice: "Will the jury not give you any awards in the future?" β
It stands to reason that a newcomer is participating in the Golden Melody Awards for the first time, and two of the six nominees are already very good. After all, other singers are not cabbages, let Zhou Yi knead them.
But after experiencing the first two nominations and two middle schools, Stefanie Sun's heart couldn't help but be raised in anticipation.
"It's hard to say, the judging team of the Golden Melody Awards is still composed of people in the final analysis, and it is inevitable that people will have their own conflicts of ideas."
The idea of winning the Golden Melody Award was directly frustrated, although he had already prepared for this, but when the truth came, Zhou Yi still felt a little regretful in his heart.
As it turned out, Zhou Yi's feeling was right.
In the competition for the Best Arrangement Award, he lost again, losing to Zhang Yadong, who was also from the mainland, and losing to "Chanel", which was arranged by him.
This conceptual song is one of Faye Wong's concept albums "Fables" shortlisted for this year's Golden Melody Awards.
"As of now, two out of four nominations, you still have the last two nominations."
Stefanie Sun crossed her fingers and seriously analyzed for Zhou Yi: "Best Pop Music Singing Album Award and Best Album Producer Award."
"Considering your personal strength in album production, I think there's a good chance you'll win them all. However, in these two awards, the biggest competition with you should be Jay Chou. β
As a singer with some creative ability but not much, Stefanie Sun quickly found Zhou Yi's biggest opponent in these two awards-
It just so happened that Jay Chou, who had lost all the previous trophy competitions, also set his sights on the direction where Zhou Yi was.
If there was any local singer-songwriter on Baodao last year who could pose a threat to Zhou Yi in the awards, it was Jay Chou.
The host Wu Zongxian, who returned to the stage, obviously understood this truth, and after a lively atmosphere on the stage, he did not rush to invite the award presenters to come out to present the awards, but interviewed the people who were shortlisted for the Best Album Producer Award with a smile-
The brothers Li Sixiang and Li Weixiang, who helped Na Young produce the album "Sad Romance".
and Zhang Yadong, Faye Wong, and Alvin Leong, who co-produced the album "Fable", and Li Zongsheng, who helped Karen Mok produce the album "Karen Mok on the Twelfth Floor";
and - Jay Chou of "JAY", Zhou Yi of "Zhou Yi".
The first few are all old fritters in the music world, and they speak very smoothly. Only Jay Chou, a newcomer in the music scene, although his words are humble, but he still clearly reveals that he wants to be recognized by the award very much.
It can only be said that it is indeed very new.
And when the award presenter was invited out by Wu Zongxian, the spirit of the nominees on the scene was also shocked-
Luo Dayou, Wu Bai.
A real heavyweight.
This can also illustrate the importance that the Golden Melody Awards attaches to these two awards.
"I'm very happy that in the past year, there have been a lot of excellent albums and album producers in the Chinese music scene. Especially young people like Zhou Yi, Jielun, and Leehom. β
As a godfather-level figure in the Chinese music scene, Luo Dayou opened his mouth with a familiar smell of broken gongs.
Wu Bai, who was in charge of receiving the speech, looked down at the unopened list of winners in his hand, and rubbed his hands expectantly: "It can only be said that it is really difficult to choose, but fortunately I am not a judge."
"Otherwise, in the face of so many excellent musicians and albums, it would be enough of a headache to pick out the shortlist."
Wu Bai, who has a great talent for comedians, laughed twice, and commented on the judges of the Golden Melody Awards in a joking tone, and several young musicians who were named were immediately taken care of by the camera-
Jay Chou, who rarely wears a suit and leather shoes, is obviously still a little nervous, and he hasn't switched emotionally;
Leehom Wang, who is a returnee elite Fan Laman, made a YES gesture to the camera very brightly, even if he didn't get his only Golden Melody King nomination tonight.
As for Zhou Yi......
He was still talking to Stefanie Sun, and the camera swept over, and the appearance of the two of them approaching and whispering attracted the screams of the fans who entered the scene to watch this year's awards ceremony.
"It seems that the story of a talented and beautiful woman is more popular, 1+1>2." Wu Zongxian, who was in charge of controlling the field, was interested, estimated the time of the award ceremony in his heart, and opened his mouth to ridicule Jay Chou and Wang Leehom, whose fans were obviously overshadowed by the Warner twin stars.
Knowing that tonight's stalk can't be passed, Sun Yanzi had no choice but to bared her big teeth and laugh, and didn't speak, trying to get through with a cute smile.
"Brother Xian, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, I'm still a big man with yellow flowers."
Zhou Yi, who refuted this set of remarks with a smile, once again made the audience laugh, and the novel title of Huanghua girl was a little unbearable.
"Okay, then the yellow flower lady, do you think you have a chance to win the trophy tonight?"
Wu Zongxian, who is already a variety show, really loves Zhou Yi, a stalk that can be made casually, if only Jay Chou of his own company could talk like this.
"Personally, I'd definitely like to have as many trophies as possible, because I don't have a lot of trophies in my honour room right now.
"If it weren't for the fear of breaking the law, I would even want to rush into the trophy showroom of the Golden Melody Awards Organizing Committee on the spot and keep all the trophies in it for myself."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yi's eyebrows climbed a little joke at the right time: "No way, I learned too well in my major class, so I suppressed this thought, thank my alma mater, Peking University." β
By his side, Sun Yanzi, who still couldn't hold back after all, once laughed out of a goose cry, without any idol baggage.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi could only shrug his shoulders helplessly: "Understand, her laughter may be relatively low." β
The left and right have been ridiculed to this extent, Sun Yanzi simply broke the jar and broke it, raised his hand and slapped his arm after Zhou Yi said this, got up and snatched the microphone in his hand to protest: "Correct everyone, I usually don't laugh like this, but I can't help it today." β
Zhou Yi, who was robbed of the microphone, had to be innocent in front of the camera.
"This person is a little interesting, Warner Wheat Field seems to be in contact with you, haven't you seen him in the mainland?"
Faye Wong, who was on the seat, elbowed Zhang Yadong beside her, and said curiously.
"No, I've only been to Warner Wheat Field once, and I haven't met him."
Zhang Yadong, who is also known as a mainland music genius, looked at the Warner twins with interest: "Are the two of them really fake?" Why is Wu Zongxian playing this scandal. β
Faye Wong nodded in the direction where Na Ying was not far away: "Who knows, anyway, there is no accurate rumor at present." If you ask Lao Na, maybe it's okay, she has almost finished negotiating the contract with Warner's Chen Zeshan. β
"Then forget it, there's no need for this, this kid's previous scandals are also flying all over the sky, and he doesn't seem to be a safe master."
Zhang Yadong shook his head with a smile, and instead focused on Wu Zongxian, who took back the control of the field.
After the joking interview, Luo Dayou opened the first envelope in his hand-
"The winner of the Best Album Producer Award at the 12th Golden Melody Awards is: Zhou Yi!"
After Luo Dayou's slightly hoarse voice, Wu Bai added loudly: "Congratulations to Zhou Yi!" β
With the classic track "Happy Worship" in the "Zhou Yi" album sounding at the scene, Jay Chou's eyes, which were full of expectation, suddenly flashed a little bitterness, but he still raised his hands to applaud and sent heartfelt congratulations to the award-winning Zhou Yi.
"Congratulations, Zhou Yi, you complete the leading production of an entire album by yourself, you really don't give other teams the opportunity to make a lot of money."
After the talkative Wu Bai handed over the trophy in his hand to Zhou Yi, he didn't forget to laugh and tease.
As an original singer, he knows best how many teams work together to produce a good album.
It is extremely rare for a person like Zhou Yi to be led by one person, and all the rest of the team are just tools under his ideological command. That's why he won the Best Album Producer Award.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Golden Melody Awards for the official recognition of me, thank you to everyone who gave me encouragement when I was making the album last year, I will continue to work hard."
The radiant Zhou Yi raised the trophy in his hand, and his face bloomed with joy.
"Three out of five, I'm convinced."
After returning to the audience, Stefanie Sun directly gave a thumbs up to Zhou Yi, who returned, with a look of envy: "You are really here to wholesale." β
"Low-key, low-key."
Before coming, Zhou Yi, who never expected that he would be able to win three trophies, was really happy and crooked this time: "The next Best Pop Music Singing Album Award should be Jay Chou's, after all, he is a native of Treasure Island, and the judges of the Golden Melody Awards still have to take care of the locals, just like the Singapore Golden Melody Awards take care of you." β
In his memory, the only golden melody trophy that the fledgling Jay Chou won this year was precisely the final Best Pop Music Singing Album Award.
Three of the six nominations, not to mention the newcomers, are also extremely explosive in the ranks of old fritters in the music world.
"But his album isn't as popular as you, right? And the songs in your album are more difficult to sing and innovative than his "JAY". Stefanie Sun disagrees with this point of view: "Originally, the official of this Golden Melody Awards must ensure maximum fairness and justice so as not to cause big controversy, and I think your album is better than his "JAY".
"In terms of innovation, no one can compare, and it loses Faye Wong's "Fable" in terms of conceptual connotation."
Zhou Yi shook his head: "No, no, no, you don't understand, it's enough for the Golden Melody Award to give me three awards, and its name is still called the Treasure Island Golden Melody Award after all."
"If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet. If you win, I promise you a request, and if you lose, you promise me a request. β
"Okay."
Aroused by the competitive Sun Yanzi agreed: "Bet on it, whoever is afraid of whom, I think you will lose." The storm that sealed you before was so big, they will never ignore the innovation and popularity of your album. β
Zhou Yi pursed his lips noncommittally: "We'll see." β
Soon, after the performance, when Luo Dayou opened the envelope of the winners of the Best Pop Music Singing Album Award, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face-
"Wow, I don't think there has been such a crazy scene tonight in the entire history of the Golden Melody Awards."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yi in the audience was suddenly stunned-
οΌ
"That's right, before this, I never thought that a newcomer who entered the Golden Melody Awards stage for the first time would leave his own unique and colorful mark on this stage."
Wu Bai, who also opened the award envelope, stroked his long hair a few times, and exclaimed: "If someone had said this to me yesterday, I would definitely think he was crazy." β
The last light in Jay Chou's eyes in the audience also dimmed, and Fang Wenshan, who pursed his lips, wanted to speak and stopped, but the words of comfort came to his lips but still couldn't say it, so he could only pat him on the shoulder helplessly: "It's okay Jay Lun, we can do this album again this year." β
In the audience, the fans holding Zhou Yi's name plate seemed to smell something, and began to chant Zhou Yi's name constantly-
"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! β¦β¦β
Sun Yanzi, who couldn't hide her excitement, grabbed Zhou Yi's burgundy blazer tightly for a moment, stared nervously at Luo Dayou and Wu Bai on the stage, and kept reminding the men around her: "Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi, you're going to lose to me! β
It was rare for his heart to beat at an accelerated pace, and it felt a little impossible Zhou Yi's tongue swept over his slightly dry lips, and there was also some disbelief in his eyes.
"The winner of the Best Pop Music Vocal Album Award at the 12th Golden Melody Awards isβ"
Luo Dayou slammed the envelope in his hand on the presiding platform, and it was rare for him to shout out a passionate momentum in his broken voice: "Zhou Yi! β
Wu Bai, who was already loud in the high voice, even took out the momentum of a rock shouting field, and stretched out his hand in the direction where Zhou Yi was under the stage: "Congratulations to Zhou Yi!" β
The lights in the audience dimmed for a moment, and only one of the brightest lights hit Zhou Yi's body.
With the cheers and applause of the fans, Zhou Yi, who stood up slowly, turned his head to take a look, and Sun Yanzi, who was applauding, directly tilted his head and gave him a wink, and after sticking out his tongue slightly, he made a lip gesture at him: I won.
Honestly, it feels a bit dreamy.
Even if his mentality is as stable as Zhou Yi, he never thought that he would be able to take away four Golden Melody trophies tonight.
He felt that he could temporarily retract his evaluation of the Golden Melody Awards just now.
Under the excitement, Zhou Yi walked directly in three steps and two steps, not even taking the steps, and climbed onto the stage in an arrow step under the stage, and after receiving the trophy with both hands, he immediately raised it high and faced the audience-
"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! β
With the awarding of tonight's biggest prize, the passionate music also sounded, and the fans chanted his name in unison, as if they were welcoming a new king to the throne in front of the old king Luo Dayou-
The smile on Zhou Yi's face was unprecedentedly bright.
The gold content of tonight's Golden Melody Awards is so high that even if the Grammys come, they can't be compared!
The king of heaven is here, and tonight's Golden Melody Award is stronger!
