The Golden Melody Award, which began in 1990, is the highest honor in the Chinese music industry, and countless musicians want to win this award.

Jay Chou is one of them.

In his previous life, Jay Lun took his grandmother to the 14th Golden Melody Awards in 2003, and his third album "Octave Space" was shortlisted for five awards, but in the end it was not received.

Afterwards, media reporters kept asking his grandmother what he thought of Jay Chou's failure to win the award...... It's so shameless.

Then in the album "Seven Miles of Fragrance" released in August 2004, he wrote a special song "Grandma" to recall the scene at that time.

Fortunately, I didn't win the award at that time.

If you win an award, maybe you won't be able to hear the song "Grandma...... Looking at it this way, I have to thank the judges of the golden song?

Xu Ning knows that he has not released a single album, so it stands to reason that he is unlikely to receive this nomination.

"Ten Thousand Reasons" and "Wishing you prosperity" are just making money and sounding good, and their quality is not very high.

Xu Ning hung up Fang Wenshan's phone, then found Yu Zhengxiang's number and dialed it, the phone was connected, Yu Zhengxiang laughed and said:

"Xiao Xu, I was just about to call you...... You've been nominated for the Golden Melody Award, you know? ”

"Mr. Yu, what's going on?" Xu Ning didn't know about it, and he didn't tell him about it when he signed up!

"Last time we were drinking, we said we were going to sign you up...... Maybe you drank too much at the time and can't remember...... Ahem, I'm just trying to sign up. ”

Yu Zhengxiang sat in the office and laughed: "I thought I wouldn't be shortlisted, so I didn't tell you, but yesterday Mr. Wang of the mobile company intervened in this matter......

After listening for a few minutes, he roughly figured out the ins and outs, first Yu Zhengxiang signed up, and then the mobile company intervened and pushed Xu Ning up.

Because

"10,000 Reasons" is now the leader of the mobile CRBT business, leaving no other songs behind.

In less than a year, the number of downloads has exceeded 10 million, and it is estimated that by next year, it will go straight to 20 million.

You must know that Zheng Yuan's "10,000 Reasons" in his previous life had a total of 120 million downloads, and he made crazy money.

In addition, no mainland singer has won the Golden Melody Awards for two years, which is not conducive to expanding its influence.

So this time, they pushed the boat down the river, sent personal favors to mobile, and nominated Xu Ning for two awards.

One is the Best Singer Award, and the other is the Best Newcomer Singer Award...... If it can win the award, it is likely to be the best newcomer award.

But what Xu Ning didn't know was that the Best Newcomer Award in his previous life was won by Lin Junjie, and it was not easy for him to win this award.

Time flies.

Zhang Yimou summoned all the actors to Huairou Film and Television Base to shoot the indoor scene of "Ambush on All Sides".

morning

As soon as the start-up ceremony ended, the female reporter of the Beijing Entertainment News blocked him with a microphone:

"Hello Xu Ning...... Among the nominees for the 15th Golden Melody Awards, you are the only singer who has not released an album, do you have any thoughts on this matter? ”

"Thank you for the love of the Golden Melody Jury, I am also flattered by this matter, maybe the judges like to listen to my "10,000 Reasons"...... Haha, just kidding. ”

No matter how difficult the female reporter was, he didn't answer directly, just talked about some innocuous things.

Finally, the female reporter asked: "I heard that your new album is about to be recorded, is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Ning nodded and said with a smile: "I will start recording next week, and it is estimated that the album will be released in early 2004." ”

Female reporter: "Thank you very much, I wish you a great success of the album, and I will be the first to support it when the time comes." ”

Xu Ning: "Thank you very much! ”

After waving goodbye to her, he entered the studio, where he prepared to shoot the last scene of "Ambush on All Sides".

There are very few scenes in the room, and Zhang Yimou only took three days to complete it, but it took more than 3 million to build the scene.

Immediately afterwards, the crew flew to Chongqing and filmed in Chashan Zhuhai for two or three days, and the movie was officially completed.

But at the finale banquet,

Andy Lau and Xu Ning received a phone call one after another, and it was Anita Mui's assistant who called.

"Aunt Mei is going to hold a farewell concert on November 15, let's go over together then." Andy Lau said lonely.

Xu Ning actually knew about this for a long time, but it was still a little regrettable to hear the news at this moment.

The last time he had a relationship with Aunt Mui, he still remembered him deeply, and at the banquet at that time, Anita Mui took good care of his younger brother.

Such a beautiful woman left like this, which made many people feel regretful.

In the early hours of December 30, 2003, she will die forever...... seems to be following in the footsteps of her friend Leslie Cheung.

The two were in the same year,

We went to another country together.

On the night of the farewell concert, Xu Ning was invited to the stage and sang a song "Laughing and Watching the Changes" with her.

After singing a song, they hugged each other.

Aunt Mei patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't feel sorry for me, you have to cherish every day and live your life well." ”

……

……

After returning from Xiangjiang, Xu Ning devoted herself to the recording of the album, and Anita Mui was right, to cherish every day.

At present, the name of the album has been finalized, it is called "Epoch-making", and the production and distribution company is still Feile.

Before the song was recorded, Yu Zhengxiang had already spent money to open up all channels, including CCTV, Mango Satellite TV and other big platforms.

In addition, more than 100 radio stations across Asia were contacted to broadcast the title song "Nocturne" simultaneously.

This battle,

is even more fierce than Jay Chou's simultaneous broadcast of "In the Name of the Father" on 50 radio stations in Asia in July 2003.

In the Beijing Blues Studio,

Music producer Sam Bao was sitting behind the monitoring station and putting on headphones, while the recording engineer next to him slowly pushed the recording switch and signaled the recording to begin.

After a gripping melody, Xu Ning sang the first lyrics of "Nocturne":

"A swarm of bloodthirsty ants"

"Attracted by carrion"

“……”

Sanbao was invited by Xu Ning to be a producer, but he didn't expect him to be more conscientious than Xu Ning himself.

"Nocturne", as the title song of the album, was recorded all morning at the request of Sambo.

Moreover, it has not been done yet.

At noon, everyone finished lunch.

Sanbao returned to the recording studio early, and after listening to the demo a few times, he felt that something was wrong, and shouted Xu Ning to record it again.

In this way, after a week, I finally got all the things done with the album.

Next, just shoot some MVs, the shooting progress of the MV is very fast, and Xu Ning's elite-level [director] ability can be easily done.

Until mid-December.

Cai Yinong of Sugar Man Film and Television personally went to the capital to invite Xu Ning to Hengdian to shoot "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

He took Xiao Yueyue and Chen Yu with him, and took a plane to the magic capital with Cai Yinong for a transfer.

met with Liu Yifei's mother and daughter in the magic capital again, and when Aunt Liu saw Xu Ning, she turned back to a cold appearance.

There is too much difference between this man and his predecessors.

If Xu Ning hadn't had in-depth communication with her, she would never have known how enthusiastic and active she was behind people.

Several people got into the nanny car together, Xu Ning and Liu Yifei sat in the same row, and Liu Xiaoli sat in the co-pilot's seat.

In the back, you can just see Aunt Liu's side face, because the heating in the car is turned on high, Liu Xiaoli took off her down jacket and only wore a tight black undershirt.

Looking at the past from the back row, Xu Ning really realized what it means to "look horizontally into a peak on the side of the ridge".

He wanted to shout in his heart: "Aunt Liu...... Can you get dressed, I don't want to look in front of so many people. ”

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Aunt Liu leaned to the side and closed her eyes to sleep.

After not seeing it, Xu Ning had the energy to laugh and play with Sissi: "Sissi, the light makeup you painted today looks good." ”

Liu Yifei touched her face and smiled: "Really? I just learned it a few days ago, so I'll draw like this a lot in the future, okay? ”
