Chapter 164 The Rain Keeps Falling, Zhang Yu Presents Awards

The Baodao Golden Melody Awards gala was held on December 27 at the Taipei International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The Golden Melody Awards were founded in 1990. At the beginning, the awards were only targeted at the Baodao Chinese pop music scene.

In the eighth reform, we co-organized the Golden Tripod Recording Awards and the Golden Melody Awards. The awards cover the Chinese music scene and the candidates cover all Chinese regions around the world.

only.

The first seven Golden Melody Awards were held since then, and as of the eighth Golden Melody Awards, the main entries were still Taiwanese singers. Only Andy Lau and Lai Lai from Hong Kong were selected, and only Xu Chen from the Mainland was selected.

Moreover, the current authoritative awards in the Baodao music scene are Baodao Golden Melody Dragon and Tiger List. In comparison, the Baodao Golden Melody Awards seem weak.

certainly.

Although the Baodao Golden Melody Awards are not scheduled, the award content is not low, especially Xu Chen's nomination for the Baodao Golden Melody Awards Singer.

If he can defeat Taiwanese local singers Qi Qin, Yam Xianqi, and Malaysian singer Moo Qixian, then he will make history and become the first non-local singer to win the Golden Melody King!

The time is until 5:00 pm.

A strong wind blew in Taipei. Iron-gray clouds pushed across the sea level, and the darkness like a pot lid pressed against the treetops.

The God of Heaven holds the rainstorm in his mouth.

At the entrance of the Taipei International Convention and Exhibition Center, the Golden Melody Awards Committee did not roll out a red carpet.

A dozen or so reporters listlessly carried cameras and microphones to interview guests from the Baodao singing circle.

I really don’t blame reporters for not having a fighting spirit.

The only reason is that the Golden Melody Awards have no news reporting value.

Before the awards were announced at the awards night, the media came up with the list of winners, and the list of winners was very authoritative, with almost six guesses out of ten.

Just talk about this year's golden song king, Baodao media can think of it with their toes...

The one who wins the golden song song must be Qi Qin!

Other awards, big and small, three melons and two dates, were given out to so many people that it was too much ink to publish them in the newspaper.

Reporters were listless.

The Baodao singers who attended the Golden Melody Awards Gala were also not in high spirits. They waved their hands at the camera perfunctorily and gave a professional fake smile.

Without waiting for the reporter to tell me what to do, I fled into the venue with my down jacket in my arms. It was so cold.

The reporter was listlessly going about his errands, staring at Xu Chen getting out of a Porsche at the door, and suddenly swelled like a catfish.

Leaving behind the singer who was being interviewed, they rushed to Xu Chen, with more than a dozen microphones trying to pry open Xu Chen's mouth like a baby's hand...

This guy’s news value is too high!

"Xu Chen, did you perform "Rose Boy" in your wedding dress at Zhang Rongguo's concert to prove that you support gay love?"

"Xu Chen, there was a rumor last night that you showed up at a music bar in Ximending. Queen Zhang Huimei took the initiative to kiss you passionately. Who has the better kissing skills between the princess and Zhang Huimei!"

"Xu Chen, you are shortlisted for the Treasure Island Golden Song King this time. Are you confident that you can defeat Qi Qin and win the award?"

"Xu Chen... I am Guangcheng Daily from Mainland China, we are a fellow countryman! When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes well up with tears. Look at me!"

"..."

Xu Chen was wearing a suit and leather shoes. Fortunately, he borrowed two security guards from Ren Xianqi yesterday, otherwise he would have been ruined today.

Two strong security guards formed a human wall close to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen walked quickly.

He now has experience in dealing with reporters and cannot ignore them, but he cannot answer every question either.

Picking a few topics and answering: "I sang "Rose Boy" just to tell everyone to be brave enough to be themselves. Leslie Cheung's love affair is personal privacy. If the audience really likes him, we have to give him his own space in life."

"The Golden Melody Awards will have fair, open and impartial judges."

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

The sales volume of Guangcheng Daily in mainland Guangdong Province was not enough. Xu Chen stopped and said in Mandarin: "Hello, do you have anything to ask me?"

The reporter from Guangcheng Daily was so excited that he stretched out his microphone and asked: "Xu Chen, how confident are you that this time Baodao Golden Melody Award-winning Song King will win? Can you win the award on behalf of the mainland!"

So far, no local singer from the Mainland has won an award in the Chinese music scene!

"What do you think?" Xu Chen asked with a smile.

"Making great achievements is now!" a reporter from Plaza Daily said impassionedly.

He is stationed in Taipei and reports all the news about Taiwan's music scene. If Xu Chen can come out on top, the news will definitely stir up trouble in the mainland!

"He is Xu Chen, he is so handsome."

Reporters crowded around Xu Chen.

Many Baodao music stars stood in front of the Convention and Exhibition Center and looked around. The woman who spoke was named Shiyilang, and the person standing next to her was called Zhang Yu.

The black and white swords of Chinese pop music.

Shiyilang's eyes were curious, and "The Rain Keeps Falling" written by Xu Chen touched her heart.

She saw from the lyrics that Xu Chen was sensitive and sentimental, and finally met the real person, a very sunny and cheerful little boy.

"He is Xu Chen!"

The same words made Zhang Yu full of melancholy and sad. In 1997, Zhang's love song Xu Chen took the lead, and Lao Zhang was depressed to death!

Whenever I meet someone, I ask him: "Zhang Yu, your wife Shiyi Lang has been in contact with Xu Chen recently? I won't let you sing for him anymore."

屮.

"Old Zhang, what are you doing standing here, waiting for Xu Chen? What's the relationship between you two?" Qi Qin looked handsome in a silver suit.

Born in 1960, he is now 37 years old. He is in his prime as a singer. His singing skills, experience, and life insights make him a hexagonal god of war!

In 1997, Qi Qin released his first English album and entered the European and American music scene.

"...I don't know him." Zhang Yu looked depressed.

He wanted to give Qi Qin a big slap in the face, but after thinking about it, he held it back. He still wanted to continue to be a part of the Chinese music scene.

"Brother Qi, Xu Chen is nominated for the Golden Melody Award, but it's for you!" Shiyilang teased.

Xu Chen's chances of winning are not high.

"I have a concert in the mainland this year, Xu Chen is very popular in the mainland..." Qi Qin is an old fox.

Affirming Xu Chen's status and strength, he shrugged and said easily: "I am old, and the music world is ultimately dominated by young people."

…………

The Golden Melody Awards ceremony in Taiwan was very fast.

Xu Chen sat in the second row, next to Zhang Qingfang and Peng Jiahui.

Both of them are new and powerful singers in the Taiwan music scene, especially Peng Jiahui, who is very energetic. "It's a pity to meet too late" and "Old Dreams" are both Chinese golden songs.

Zhang Qingfang sat upright and serious.

Peng Jiahui has a cheerful and lively personality. When she saw Xu Chen sitting next to her, she subconsciously held the invitation tightly, thought for a moment, and said politely: "Hello, senior Xu, I am Peng Jiahui, I like your songs very much."

Xu Chen is unparalleled in the Chinese music scene, and is crowned as "the successor of Li Zongsheng!"

"Hello, Miss Peng, thank you, Old Dreams is very nice." Xu Chen likes "It's a pity to meet too late".

"Miss Peng is older than me, just call me Achen. I debuted this year, and Sister Peng debuted last year, so I should call Sister Peng senior."

"Brother Chen..." Peng Jiahui has seen the power of the duck king. He is gentle, modest and polite. It is hard not to like him.

"The winner of the Best Composer in the Pop Music Category of the 8th Formosa Golden Melody Awards..."

Host Wu Zongxian paused habitually, creating a perfect atmosphere, and shouted enthusiastically: "The rain keeps falling, Xu Chen, congratulations to Xu Chen, Xu Chen won an award at the Formosa Golden Melody Awards for the first time!"

"Please welcome the award presenter Zhang Yu..."

Richie Ren, A-Mei Zhang, and Coco Lee gave Xu Chen face and applauded.

"Sister Peng will talk later, I'll go up to receive the award." Xu Chen stood up and buttoned his suit with one hand.

It was Peng Jiahui's first time to attend the Golden Melody Awards Gala, and the process was a little confusing. She stood up with some strange intention.

The camera swept over and saw two figures standing on the big screen.

Peng Jiahui glanced at it and immediately tapped her toes in embarrassment.

"Sister Peng, thank you." Xu Chen was happy to help others, and gentlemanly hugged Peng Jiahui to relieve her embarrassment.

Peng Jiahui sat there in a daze, with only one thought in her mind: The King of Ducks is so awesome!

"Mr. Xu, congratulations." Wu Zongxian had a very good impression of Xu Chen, the God of Wealth.

Wu Zongxian felt that the most cost-effective deal he had made in his life was to sell Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan to Time Pictures.

Xu Chen was at a loss!

"Thank you." The victim, Old Wu, was too enthusiastic, and Xu Chen was a little embarrassed.

Give Old Wu a big red envelope in the future, 200 cap!

"Xu Chen, congratulations, it keeps raining, it's a very good song!" Zhang Yu held the trophy with mixed feelings.

There is always a feeling that your wife got pregnant with someone else without your knowledge, and you worked hard to raise the child until he was 18 years old, and then you have to send him back.

"..." Xu Chen was silent for a while: "Thank you."

Don't doubt it, you are the victim of this song!

Holding the trophy, Xu Chen's acceptance speech was simple: "Thank you, I believe that the Golden Melody Award is a fair, open and just Chinese song award. In the future, I will continue to strengthen my ties with the Taiwanese music scene!"

"Wow..."

The applause was overwhelming. The Taiwanese music scene had a very good impression of Xu Chen. After all, Xu Chen, Richie Jen and A-Mei Zhang are all good friends. The media strongly supports the "Three Musketeers"!

Zhang Yu raised his hand and applauded.

After the award ceremony, Xu Chen was going to sing the award song.

The classic melody of Zhang's love song "The Rain Keeps Falling" sounded, and Zhang Yu was completely numb.

Heavy metal + dynamic bursting rhythm + emotional rendering, Lao Zhang's three axes, Xu Chen wielded them more proficiently than him, leaving Lao Zhang confused.

Especially Xu Chen imitated his singing style, which was heartbreaking and affectionate, and interpreted a heartless prodigal and scumbag to the fullest.

"The rain keeps falling..."

"The atmosphere is not harmonious..."

"Under the same roof..."

Xu Chen sang affectionately, and Shiyilang subconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt with both hands. Although she didn't want to admit it, Xu Chen understood her!

The more Zhang Yu listened, the more uncomfortable she felt, as if a thorn in her back was on pins and needles.

Fortunately, Xu Chen finished singing quickly, and the two hugged each other politely, and Zhang Yu staggered off the stage.

He didn't want to see Xu Chen in this life.

The Formosa Golden Melody Awards are divided into pop music and folk music, and several major awards have been announced one after another.

Best Lyricist "Matchstick Paradise" Zhao Junjie and Xiong Wei.

Best Newcomer Award "Tell the Truth" Peng Jiahui, Peng Jiahui also hugged Xu Chen before accepting the award.

After several insignificant awards, Xu Chen won the Grand Prize for Best Record Producer again.

He deserves this award.

Twelve songs of Tianxia Wushuang, each of which is a golden song, explore the new style of Chinese pop music, and old-style love songs and new-style love songs complement each other.

After winning two Golden Melody Awards in a row, Xu Chen no longer has any hope for the Golden Melody King!

Warner Zhou Jianbin not only spent a lot of money, but also cut his aorta.

Soon.

The award ceremony reached its climax, and the hosts Taozijie and Wu Zongxian were full of passion: "The nominees for the Best Mandarin Male Singer Award at the 8th Golden Melody Awards are..."

"Xu Chen, it's raining!"

Even though the nominees were announced early, when the host read out Xu Chen's name.

The entire award ceremony still felt unreal in the Taiwan music scene.

Xu Chen, a mainland singer, actually won two awards at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards and was also nominated for the Golden Melody King.

The camera cuts to Richie Jen and A-Mei Chang. They are in a good mood and make a weird face to the camera.

"Chyi Chin, Silk Road!"

The camera switches to Chyi Chin. The old wolf boy Chyi Chin looks relaxed and puts his hands together to thank.

Sister Taozi is full of passion and continues to announce the list of nominees: "Richie Jen, I'm very hurt."

On the big screen, Richie Jen covers his chest. Xu Chen is really hurt by winning consecutive awards.

Jack Wu is full of passion and announces the last candidate: "Eric Moo, I can't feel you."

Eric Moo is a Malaysian singer. He was nominated for the Golden Melody King for the first time. He was excited and subconsciously clenched his trousers with both hands.

When the name of the last candidate was announced, the atmosphere of the entire awards ceremony suddenly became tense and expectant.

Although the Golden Melody Award is a small award, the four nominees are also ranked high on the Golden Melody Dragon and Tiger Chart of Taiwan!

The Golden Melody Dragon and Tiger Chart counts the annual sales of albums. A-Mei Chang is unrivaled and ranks first in the year, with the highest sales in the island.

Xu Chen ranked second on the Dragon and Tiger Chart, Ren Xianqi ranked sixth on the Dragon and Tiger Chart, Qi Qin ranked ninth on the Dragon and Tiger Chart, and Eric Moo ranked eleventh on the Dragon and Tiger Chart.

Judging from the album sales and album quality, the four people have unquestionable reasons and strength to win the Golden Melody King.

Wu Zongxian and Taozijie looked at each other and announced the final winner: "The winner of the 8th Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Male Singer is..."

Tactical pause.

The camera frequently switched to the four candidates. At this time, even the old warrior Qi Qin in the Chinese music scene looked very nervous.

The Chinese music scene is ultimately dominated by young people, but Qi Qin is not old yet, and it is far from time for him to retire.

The hearts of the Taiwan music scene trembled to their throats.

For the first time, the Golden Melody King was nominated for a non-Taiwan local singer. As a member of the Taiwan music scene, they all did not want the award to fall to outsiders.

Wu Zongxian and Taozi looked at each other in surprise, and finally, they said in unison: "Xu Chen!"

"Congratulations to Xu Chen!"

"Xu Chen's album Tianxia Wushuang won the Best Composer, Best Album Producer, and Taiwan Golden Melody King. Congratulations to Xu Chen!"

Boom...

The heavy rain that had been suppressed in Taipei for an afternoon finally poured down, and pedestrians fled the streets of Taipei, which were surging and turbulent.

International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The Taiwan music scene was shocked by the thunder and Xu Chen, and it took a long time to come back to its senses.

When the camera switched, Qi Qin, Shiyilang, and Zhang Yu could not control their expressions and were stunned.

Zhang Huimei, Ren Xianqi, and Coco Lee were stunned for a moment and applauded enthusiastically. Zhang Huimei stood up from her seat, turned her head and stared at Xu Chen, grinning happily.

He really won the Taiwan Golden Melody King!

Everyone looked at Xu Chen. A mainlander was killing it in Taiwan's music scene. At this moment, the mood of Taiwan's music scene was indescribable.

Xu Chen buttoned up his suit with one hand. Under the camera, he stood straight and full of vigor. From this moment on, the 18-year-old mainland boy embarked on the road of legend!

At the entrance of the exhibition center.

Sparse reporters were hiding from the heavy rain. Only the reporter from Guangzhou Daily was left in the corridor to avoid the rain.

The award-winning news came out from the award ceremony hall of the evening party.

The reporter from Guangzhou Daily was stunned when he heard the news. He braved the heavy rain and found the canteen to call the mainland editor-in-chief. He said incoherently: "Xu Chen...Xu Chen won the Golden Melody Award of Taiwan, the best composer, and the best album producer. He won three awards of the Golden Melody Award of Taiwan alone!"

"He is the Golden Melody Award of the Year!"

"..." The editor-in-chief was silent on the phone: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Hang up the phone.

The editor-in-chief looked at the two new copybooks in his hand.

One piece of news that Xu Chen sang the song "Rose Boy" in a wedding dress at Zhang Rongguo's concert in Hong Kong to support Zhang Rongguo, which was immoral.

One piece of news that Xu Chen won the Golden Melody Award in Taiwan, and became the king of the Golden Melody Awards, spreading his influence in the mainland music scene.

One piece of news that honored and one piece of news that slandered, the two pieces of news were placed in front of the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief's mind was in a mess...

How to report this news!

After thinking for half an hour, the editor-in-chief slammed his fist on the coffee table, and simply published the news on both the front and back of the newspaper!

The right and wrong, honor and disgrace, merits and demerits, are left to the people to judge.
