Chapter 904 Six Nominations
Pu Tong was the last person to know that he was nominated for the Juno Awards.

After the nominations for this international award were announced last night, the domestic Internet was in chaos when seeing the only Chinese name on the list...

The Juno Awards were established in the 1970s by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and are awarded annually to recognize outstanding talents and works in the international music industry.

This is the first time that a Chinese name appears in the nomination list of this international music award, and this person is Pu Tong, who made a splash internationally some time ago.

While being shocked, everyone also felt that it was natural. If there was only one singer in the country who could stand on that podium, it could only be Pu Tong.

After all, he is the only one who has reached the world, and his works are the only ones that can be heard by the world...

There is still a certain gap between the Juno Awards and the Grammy Awards. At present, the Grammy Awards are still the most prestigious awards in the world, but the Juno Awards are equally authoritative and influential. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the second most prestigious award after the Grammy Awards.

The Juno Awards are decided by voting by members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of Canada. Although the Academy of Arts and Sciences belongs to the country, its members come from all over the world. Therefore, winning the Juno Award means that it has been recognized by industry insiders, and the winning works are usually of guaranteed quality.

In addition, the Juno Awards cover a wide range of music genres, including pop, rap, rock, country, classical, jazz, gospel and other music genres; it also leaves a track for relatively niche music genres, such as classical music; there are even awards specifically for arrangers and recording engineers. Of course, these parts that determine the quality of music are not taken seriously by the public.

Pu Tong received six Juno Award nominations this time, including Single of the Year, Most Popular Award, Best Solo Artist, Best Pop Music, Best Songwriter and Best Newcomer.

Pu Tong's strength is unquestionable as she appears on the same nomination list six times. However, receiving multiple nominations at the same time is not unique. Many international singers who reached the peak as soon as they debuted have done it.

Take Charlie Brown from the Hostile Five for example. In his first year of debut, he received five Grammy nominations with his absolute strength.

But speaking objectively, it is relatively easy to get nominated for awards in your own country. There are only a few foreign singers like Pu Tong who have received multiple nominations.

After all, cultural differences and contempt chains exist objectively. If it is not for absolute strength, it is difficult for artists from other regions to be recognized.

The Juno Awards were fine, but Pu Tong was sure that no matter how good his work was, it would be difficult for him to win a Grammy Award. After all, he had already offended them...

But it doesn't matter. He is not very enthusiastic about these awards. When he heard that he was nominated for six awards, he was not as happy as if he had received full marks in the exam.

For him, the honors he gained by directly transferring works did not belong entirely to him, so he never aimed at these things.

He really doesn't need this award, but the country really needs an authoritative and fair music award, rather than just the Chinese Golden Melody Award when someone asks about it.

If one wants to truly have a place of his own in the international music scene, recognition is a must. Therefore, when it was learned that Pu Tong had received six Juno Award nominations, the country was in an uproar.

Even though being nominated only means the possibility of winning, and not actually winning, everyone who knows the Chinese music scene is still as happy as a child.

It is still uncertain whether Pu Tong can win the award, but when his name appears on the nomination list, it is already a big step forward for the Chinese music scene.

Any award has regional differences. Pu Tong can make the international music scene abandon its prejudices, which was impossible in the past.

And the chances of winning are huge, isn’t it?

That's six nominations, so the chances of winning at least one award are pretty high. If he was a runner-up for six times, that would be a little unbelievable. Even so, the Best Newcomer Award should be a foregone conclusion...

In this year, are there any other new singers who can be compared with Pu Tong?

In March this year, he released his first English song as a creator, which topped the charts for 23 consecutive days and was played over 100 million times. In July, two songs with just a few lines attracted the attention of netizens around the world, and the number of topics and key words exploded.

The release of his first original solo song "Runaway" in August immediately set off a new hip-hop storm and has been ranked first on the hot list until now.

With such a brilliant performance, it would be unreasonable not to win an award, unless the organizing committee is really blind...

Everyone is looking forward to next week's Juno Awards ceremony and wants to witness Pu Tong go on stage and hold up the trophy they have dreamed of, but what they don't know is that Pu Tong, the person involved, doesn't even plan to be there.

"Is it appropriate for you not to go and claim this huge prize in person?"

Yu Wanwan and the others were a little bit incredulous when they heard that. If it were them, let alone getting a nomination or winning an award, even if they were just invited to be a pendant, they would have gone for it happily.

After all, there are not many opportunities to attend international occasions, and this is also a good opportunity for exposure.

Who would have thought that Pu Tong, who was nominated for six awards and had a high chance of winning, didn't even plan to go in person...

"We have a monthly exam next week."

Pu Tong stretched lazily, "You know, every exam in the third year of high school is crucial, how can I be absent?"

"Didn't you get admitted?"

Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth in disappointment. That was an international award, the goal she had been pursuing all her life. She was willing to make every effort for it, but this guy didn't even plan to go, and his reason was so lame.

"We can't skip the exam, right?"

All I can say is that if the administration of Huailin No. 1 Middle School knew that they would refuse to attend the international stage because of their exams, they would probably have to change the exam time overnight.

This boy is too weird. Isn't such an important occasion more important than an exam?

"If you don't want to go, don't go."

Iori Yukino understood that exams were just excuses. Based on her understanding of Pu Tong, this guy didn't want to go at all.

He is a person who doesn't like to show up in public. He was forced to go to the cultural festival last time. If he was asked to go there on his own initiative this time, he would definitely be very unwilling.

What's more, he was the only one invited on this trip, and he didn't even have a companion this time. It would be strange if Pu Tong was willing to go through this alone.

Seeing that he was really unwilling to give in, Lin Yuxi looked at Yu Wanwan beside her for help.

"Hurry, think of a solution."

Yu Wanwan smiled and did not analyze the Juno Awards from the perspective of importance or pros and cons. She knew Pu Tong too well. If she wanted him to go, she had to come up with a reason that would truly interest him.

"This time, Charlie and his group of five will all be present...Are you sure you won't go?"
