Chapter 189: Walking CD Player, Famous Scene From the Golden Melody Awards [Please Order the Full Version! ]

YES933 Channel [Top Popular Music Radio] broadcasts Chinese pop music, with listeners covering the Chinese community in Southeast Asia. It is also the radio station with the highest listening rate in Singapore.

The 933 Golden Melody Awards were discontinued in 1997, which was regretted by the Chinese in Southeast Asia and Singapore.

It’s hard to leave the homeland, and fallen leaves return to their roots. For thousands of Chinese wandering in foreign lands, [xiangyin] is the bridge for their souls to return to their homeland.

1998.

The 933 Golden Melody Awards were re-organized, and Chinese people in Southeast Asia and Singapore immediately squatted in front of TV and radio stations to watch the awards show.

Singapore, a high-rise residential building.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and the sky was gloomy and gloomy.

Inside the window, several junior high school girls were nestled on the sofa. The oldest girl turned her head and stared at the window, kicked her sister next to her, and said lazily: "Stefanie, please go and close the window."

"Why did you ask me to go! The awards show has started and I want to watch TV!" Stefanie Sun was pretty and showed her big white teeth when she spoke.

She is obsessed with music. She has learned piano since she was a child. She sang on stage at the age of 10 and dreams of becoming a professional singer.

The 933 Golden Melody Awards, a career dream that almost every Singaporean singer dreams of, Stefanie Sun is no exception. She stares at the TV and refuses to look away, even for a second!

"I said yes!" Sister Sun Yanjia also stared at the TV with a focused expression.

On TV.

The director switched the camera and pointed it at the audience area. The dimly lit audience area was flashing with colorful fluorescent lights, which eventually converged into a river of lights, lighting up the word [Xu Chen]!

"Besides, my sister, your sister, if I tell you to go and take care of yourself, you have to go." Sun Yanjia did not bow her head.

He kicked his legs wildly and shouted excitedly: "I'm not the only one who likes Xu Chen, hahaha, his [Descendants of the Dragon] and [Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales] are so cool!"

With his eyes fixed on the TV, he sighed: "Xu Chen will probably go to the Golden Melody Awards to accept the award. With him this time, well, he will definitely come!"

"Crazy woman." Stefanie Sun was very incomprehensible to her sister's fanatical crush on Xu Chen!

The window was making random noises and the cold wind was whistling. Stefanie Sun crossed her legs, kicked the youngest girl next to her, and said lazily: "Sun Yanmei, please go and close the window." ’

"Why did you ask me to go?" Sun Yanmei held the milk bottle.

"My sister, your sister, besides, I said yes." Stefanie Sun spread her hands: "You have to go if I tell you to, sister, you are right."

"Just go, why are you staring at me?" Sun Yanmei pouted and muttered angrily.

[Winner of the 933 Enchanting Golden Melody Award and the Most Popular Male Singer Award...]

【Andy Lau! 】

On TV, the award ceremony seemed deserted. Hosts Zeng Xiaoying and Guo Liang tried their best to liven up the atmosphere. Unfortunately, none of the award-winning stars were present, and the most anticipated and thrilling announcement of the awards was also missing...

The entire awards show was overshadowed by dust.

Zeng Xiaoying looked at the winning card and said to the guest area: "Mr. Andy Lau entrusted Mr. Xu Chen to help receive the award. Please come to the stage."

"Xu Chen. Xu Chen!"

"Xu Chen, Xu Chen!"

The director's camera shot cut to Xu Chen, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding a button tightly with one hand. His handsome and elegant appearance instantly caused enthusiastic screams in the audience area, and the sound waves turned the roof.

Next to him sat Fan Wenfang, the most beautiful woman in Singapore.

Fan Wenfang raised her head, smiled, and applauded to congratulate Andy Lau!

The director knows how to capture shots. In the composition, the man in a suit and leather shoes is handsome and handsome, and the beautiful woman is gentle and demure. Their eyes meet each other, and they look like a couple of gods and goddesses, with a look that lasts for eternity.

Stefanie Sun covered her ears tightly with her hands, feeling unbearable pain. Her elder sister went crazy, her legs spread wildly, she was as excited as a big hen, clucking and screaming: "So handsome, so handsome, hahaha~ Fan Wenfang and Xu Chen are so perfect for each other, cluck cluck~ "

"Also..." Stefanie Sun stared and muttered: "He's really handsome. He helped Andy Lau receive the award. He is also an idol, right?"

Stefanie Sun is much more sober than her elder sister. She is not interested in celebrities, and she is handsome but cannot be regarded as handsome. Her idol princess not only sings well, but is also very cool!

…………

[933 Enchanting Golden Melody Awards] The recording studio is very small, with dozens of people in the audience area and a few people in the guest area, all of whom are local Singaporean singers.

The fans and popularity are hard to describe.

The once glorious [933 Enchanting Golden Melody Awards] is in such a bleak situation. Hosts Zeng Xiaoying and Guo Liang feel sad. Fortunately, Xu Chen’s fans are very awesome and keep screaming and shouting...

It added a bit of brilliance to the entire bleak awards show.

Andy Lau won the "Most Popular Male Singer Award" for the song "Lone Star Tears". Xu Chen accepted the award on Andy's behalf. He made trouble in his acceptance speech, shouting from the air: "Please remember that the singer who won the Most Popular Male Singer Award is... "

"Andy Lau!"

"I hope it will be me next time! Thank you!" Xu Chen was not afraid of offending Andy Lau and made harmless jokes.

His wanton arrogance made fans scream and scream. Xu Chen is really cool.

"Mr. Xu!" Guo Liang is in charge of typhoon stability and is especially good at handling [emergency incidents].

Xu Chen's high popularity is in sharp contrast to the desolation of "933 Golden Songs", which is both cold and desolate.

Guo Liang had a sudden idea and called Xu Chen: "Mr. Xu, you accept the trophy on behalf of Mr. Andy Lau. Didn't Mr. Andy Lau tell you that you also want to sing the award-winning song on his behalf?"

"That's right, Mr. Xu!" Zeng Xiaoying understood her partner's intention instantly.

Xu Chen just called out to Andy Lau, hoping that he can win the [Most Popular Male Singer Award] next time. It is common sense to infer that the two may compete.

Now, asking Xu Chen to sing Andy Lau's song [Tears of the Lonely Star] is indeed a highlight for the bleak award ceremony!

Besides...

Xu Chen's fans are very powerful!

The idol is going to sing Andy Lau's [Tears of the Lonely Star]. Fans waved light sticks, eager to hear the idol sing, and screamed: "Xu Chen! Xu Chen!"

Under the stage, the guest area.

The local singer of Singapore secretly glanced at the audience area, touched his nose awkwardly, and supported his forehead with one hand, ashamed to see people!

Shameful!

In the local music awards in Singapore, Andy Lau and the princess are popular, they can understand, but a new singer from mainland China is also popular in Singapore...

The point is that he is more popular than them, which is very incomprehensible and unacceptable!

Now Xu Chen sings Andy Lau's song [Tears of the Lonely Star]. Although it is petty to say it out, the Singaporean singer is indeed secretly happy.

Andy Lau is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but his "Tears of the Lonely Star" is not simple. Xu Chen can...

Xu Chen can't sing well!

There is no reason. Just because Andy Lau is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Xu Chen is a newcomer in the Chinese music scene, and Xu Chen won the "Best Male Singer for Song Performance", but his song performance ability lost to Andy Lau...

The logic is correct, but the audience is not logical!

Fan Wenfang propped her chin with one hand. Her face is very pleasing, virtuous and gentle, and her watery eyes are as gentle as water.

She has a good impression of Xu Chen. After all, he is polite and handsome, and Xu Chen was very surprised and said: "Sister Wenfang, you are my idol. Sister Wenfang played so well in "End of Life"!"

Fan Wenfang can't help but worry about fans.

…………

Andy Lau's "Tears of the Lonely Star".

Xu Chen didn't expect to accept the award on behalf of others, and an accident happened.

Damn, in addition to Andy Lau, he also helped Zhang Huimei and the princess to accept the award.

If he sang Andy Lau's [Tears of the Lonely Star], A-mei's [Listening to the Sea], and the princess's [One Hundred Years of Solitude], wouldn't he have to sing them all!

And he also had to sing the song [Song of Farewell], 4 songs, 4 different styles, and there were 3 Chinese pop kings and queens before him.

If his singing was too weak, wouldn't his fans be embarrassed to tell others about it!

"Mr. Guo, Ms. Zeng, I like Brother Dehua's [Tears of the Lonely Star] very much." Xu Chen thought for a while.

Take a chance, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle, although the risk is high, the benefits are not small!

[933 Intoxicated Golden Songs] is aimed at Southeast Asia, Singapore, Japan and South Korea live broadcast, and the radio station covers nearly 100 million people. If he can perfectly perform the songs of Andy Lau, the princess, and A-mei...

His album landed in Southeast Asia, it would have become a gimmick, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a walking CD player, it is awesome!

Xu Chen agreed.

Zeng Wenfang and Guo Liang looked at each other, glanced at the hot award ceremony, smiled, and left the stage for Xu Chen.

…………

Arrived at the backstage.

Zeng Wenfang and Guo Liang were called over by the leader. [933 Drunk Golden Melody Awards] was broadcast live on Singapore TV Channel 8 and reported by Radio 933 at the same time.

The leader attached great importance to the TV ratings and told them: "This Xu Chen is very popular. The next award ceremony should guide more topics to him. The current ratings are 9.2, and we will strive for 10.5."

10.5, [933 Drunk Golden Melody Awards] has the lowest ratings in history. If it can maintain 10.5, it is at least not embarrassing.

Zeng Wenfang and Guo Liang looked at each other, both of them felt helpless. The task was too arduous. Without stars and awards, the music awards ceremony would be missing two major gimmicks, and it would be difficult to guarantee the ratings!

He went to the backstage with a lot of worries.

Xu Chen held the electric guitar, adjusted the microphone height, coughed twice, tested the sound, and gestured OK to the sound staff.

[Lonely Star Tears], the theme song of the movie [Black Gold], was composed by Wu Bai, with lyrics by Pu, and sung by Andy Lau.

Wu Bai's style of music is straightforward, and he is particularly good at catchy lyrics and exciting and brisk melodies, both of which make Wu Bai's songs simple.

Or, after listening to it twice, you dare to say [Wu Bai knows nothing about Wu Bai]!

Precisely because it is simple, it is difficult, and it requires extremely strong [emotional rendering power] to portray the extraordinary joys and sorrows under ordinary lyrics.

The lights of the award ceremony were dim.

Xu Chen tapped the electric guitar lightly, the sound accompaniment flowed, the prelude was very brisk, and the patting sound in the microphone was like a heart beating.

After tapping for 5 seconds, Xu Chen's fingertips were like butterflies, flying and landing on the electric guitar, and the dynamic electronic sound was instantly vented, and the electronic sound ended like a storm.

Xu Chen's voice was slightly hoarse, as if there was broken glass in his throat, and every word was vomiting blood: "I am a tear of a lonely star in the distance/I have been hidden in you for tens of thousands of years/All your worries are seen by me/Let me warm your face/Slip quietly on your face..."

Backstage.

Zeng Wenfang and Guo Liang are both senior hosts of [933 Drunk Channel], especially Guo Liang, the founding veteran of the channel.

Drunk Channel's philosophy: "More songs, less words, no interference!"

It means less talking, more songs, not being interfered by the status and popularity of the Chinese music scene, and selecting the most classic and beautiful songs for the audience.

"Xu Chen's singing voice is very good, completely different from Andy Lau." Zeng Wenfang closed her eyes and listened.

Andy Lau's breath and singing voice in [Lonely Star Tears] are perfectly controlled, and his skills in interpreting songs are not shallow. In comparison, Xu Chen's breath is very stable, but his singing voice is flawed.

Each word of Yao Wenjue is full of emotion, which is very contagious. Zeng Wenfang can hear the sadness in the song even if she closes her eyes.

"Andy Lau's singing voice is not as good as Xu Chen's." Guo Liang tapped the wall with his fingers and followed the beat.

Among the [Four Heavenly Kings], Andy Lau's singing skills ranked in the top three, and he was in the top three, but his shortcomings were obvious, and he was too crafty.

Simply put, Andy Lau tried his best to sing well, but it was precisely this [overexertion] effort that made him unable to touch the threshold of top singers forever.

Pay attention, touch the threshold!

For talented people like Jacky Cheung, Xu Chen, and Princess Wang, the threshold is under their feet and the ceiling is broken above their heads.

"Xu Chen's singing voice is willful and natural. He sings the way he wants to sing." Guo Liang stared at Xu Chen's back and said with a frown: "I have only seen this kind of relaxed state in Jacky Cheung."

"Hong Kong Song God Jacky Cheung." Zeng Wenfang didn't expect Guo Liang to have such a high evaluation of Xu Chen.

…………

Xu Chen sang [Lonely Star Tears].

The local Singaporean singers in the guest area were also shocked. Their feelings were deep and shallow, but emotions could not deceive people. Sadness and depression filled the air.

The fans were quiet, and they did not have the strength to hold up the cheering light boards. Their eyes were focused on the idol in the center of the stage, and they were proud of him.

In front of the TV.

The three sisters curled up on the sofa were also silly.

The eldest sister Sun Yanjia hugged the pillow to her chest, her knees were bent, and her eyes were fixed on Xu Chen who was singing. Suddenly, she turned her head and said to her younger sister Sun Yanzi: "Second sister, do you hate me very much?"

"!!!" Sun Yanzi rolled her eyes subconsciously. The eldest sister was too ignorant.

Reluctantly looking away, Xu Chen sang well, although not as good as the princess, but better than Andy Lau.

Sun Yanzi turned her head and asked her younger sister Sun Yanmei: "Third sister, do you hate me very much?"

"That's right!" Sun Yanmei nodded innocently, hating the unscrupulous elder and second sisters, and said contemptuously: "Sun Yanzi, I hate you so much, you are so bad."

"Don't talk to the second sister/second sister like that."

Two slaps cut her head, Sun Yanmei was indignant and muttered: "Two psychopaths, just listen to the song, why are you so serious."

…………

The song ended.

Xu Chen took a breath lightly. The performance of [Lonely Star Tears] was not easy, but for him, Wu Bai's [emotional flow] was too simple.

"Mr. Xu, thank you, it's great!" Guo Liang applauded enthusiastically.

He had a hunch that Xu Chen would become a regular guest of the [Singapore Golden Melody Awards]. There are very few singers in the Chinese music scene with strong singing and creative abilities.

"Thank you!" Xu Chen did not stop.

Back in the guest area, Singaporean local singers looked at him differently, and he was used to it.

"Mr. Xu, you sang really well!" Fan Wenfang clapped her hands and moved her legs apart.

She had a new understanding of Xu Chen. He was so charming when he sang. She tilted her head and asked with a bright smile: "Is Mr. Xu really a newcomer? Are newcomers in the Chinese pop music scene so powerful now?"

Question + exclamation.

"Sister Wenfang, I'm just average. I have a better understanding of Andy Lau's songs, so I sang well. The other songs..."

[Won the 933 Intoxicated Golden Melody Award, the winner of the Most Popular Female Singer Award...]

[Princess! ]

The award ceremony continued. Zeng Wenfang and Guo Liang were very interested in Xu Chen now. The award was announced quickly. When the name of the princess was said.

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Wenfang said: "The princess entrusted Mr. Xu to help accept the award. Mr. Xu, please move to the stage. I noticed that Mr. Xu wrote the lyrics and composed the music for the princess's winning song [One Hundred Years of Solitude]~"

Come on!

Andy Lau has sung it, so there is no reason not to sing [One Hundred Years of Solitude], which was written and composed by Xu Chen.

All eyes were focused on Xu Chen in an instant. When they talked about the [933 Golden Melody Award], Xu Chen ran up and down, stealing the show for him.

"Mr. Xu, you can sing the princess's songs even if you can't sing them, right?" Fann Wong looked very gentle and quiet.

Her eyes widened. The princess was her idol!

In the entire Chinese music scene, the princess's singing style and singing were difficult to imitate. She was so talented!

"I know a little bit, I know a little bit!" Xu Chen asked, "Sister Wenfang, do you like [One Hundred Years of Solitude]?"

"I like it!" Fann Wong nodded decisively.

"Then this song is for Sister Wenfang." Xu Chen smiled, he had a good impression of Fann Wong.

…………

Xu Chen went on stage to receive the award.

Fann Wong looked a little confused. Did the little fan tease her? She touched her face with the back of her hand and felt that her face was a little wet.

But the next moment she stared at Xu Chen's back with great interest, full of expectations for [One Hundred Years of Solitude].

With high emotional intelligence, gentlemanly, and humorous, Fann Wong has a [favorable impression +1] of Xu Chen!
