Chapter 690 Golden Melody Awards List

And on the very next day, the official platform of the Golden Melody Awards also announced the list of candidates for the Golden Melody Awards.

As in the past, there are five candidates shortlisted for each award.

In the column of the best songs of the year, "Shame" is undoubtedly on the list, as is "Rock and Roll on the New Long March", but the singer's name behind "Shame" is Liu Yao.

Many rock fans felt a little helpless after watching it, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, judging from the number of downloads, Liu Yao's version was indeed at the top of the list. If the winner was "Shame", then who should go on stage to receive the award? This is a very interesting question.

There is no precedent for this before, so everyone is looking forward to what the final situation will be.

Liu Yao had never thought of this before. When she saw the list of candidates, she was stunned for a while. She had been nominated for many Golden Melody Awards, and even for three consecutive years, but she had never won a single award.

But this time, she felt that if she was given the award, she would feel something was not right.

After making up her mind, she wanted to make an appointment with Bian Lang to meet for dinner and talk about this matter.

As for the best male singer, Bian Lang is definitely on the list, and as for the other four, except for one first-tier singer, the other three are idol singers. Two of the top four male singers were not on the list, which made the fans of those two a little unhappy.

However, this time their anger was not directed at Bian Lang, but at the three idol singers.

As for the best female singer, Dong Youbian's name is on the list.

The Rolling Stones had not received any information about this matter, and even Liang Kuan couldn't figure out what was going on.

She was silent for a long time while looking at this column. After analyzing the other four opponents in her mind, she told Chen Shuting her thoughts: "I think Youbian will definitely win the Best Female Singer award this time, but Bian Lang will probably not win the Best Male Singer award. This is a kind of balance of the organizing committee!"

"Indeed, none of You Bian's three opponents can beat us, but given the current situation, it's a bit unrealistic for her to return home to receive the award." Chen Shuting was a little worried at this time: "I don't know if the organizing committee is doing this for the Rolling Stones or for Bian Lang. What do you think caused this incident?"

In the end, Liang Kuan called Chen Manman and told them the news. Liang Kuan also explained the situation directly at the end: "It is uncertain whether you can win the award. You can decide whether to come or not. If you don't come, you can designate someone to receive the award. If there is no one, the company will arrange it when you win the award."

Chen Manman didn't even ask Dong Youbian, she made the decision right away: "No, we don't think it's likely. Youbian has a lot of study to do here, and it's going to take more than a week... As for whether to designate a recipient, Youbian and I will discuss it and give Sister Kuan a reply."

Liang Kuan was on speakerphone when making the call, and Chen Shuting heard everything that was said.

"It's better this way. I don't know what Bian Lang will do when we see him!"

After discussing this, the two continued to look down the list.

The best album, "Tang Dynasty" was released this year, while the one by New Pants failed to make the list, so there is nothing related to the Rolling Stones in this list.

As for the newly added award of Best Rock Band, both the Rolling Stones and New Pants are on the list.

"This is absolutely a sure thing. If we don't give it to the Rolling Stones, it will be an absolute joke!"

Bian Lang's name was also included in the Best Lyricist, Best Composition, and Best Arrangement. However, unlike other candidates, there was no song title after Bian Lang's name, which was the first time in the history of the Golden Melody Awards.

"With Bian Lang's output, I guess the people in the organizing committee are also having a headache. Which song should he give the award to?" Liang Kuan put himself in his shoes and thought that this should be the simplest way to deal with it.

As for how to discuss this balance later, that was the judges' headache! In previous years, Liang Kuan could still get some inside information from Liu Ziyang, but this year Liu Ziyang directly did not accept the invitation from the organizing committee.

It's not that he wanted to avoid suspicion because Bian Lang was among the candidates. It's mainly because he was too busy to leave after joining Rolling Stone. The key is that being a boring judge is not as exciting as making music for Rolling Stone.

Thinking of this, Liang Kuan added: "I think Bian Lang's three awards are also on the line. Look, among the candidates for composing, there is a veteran who has been running for many years, and for lyric writing, there is also a vice president of the association. Arranging... arranging should not be a problem!"

Chen Shuting got a little angry when she heard this: "Actually, sometimes I envy some cultural characteristics of foreign countries. Either it's pure inside information or pure strength. Instead of doing this kind of seniority-based ranking, it would be better to just give a lifetime achievement award."

“Who told Bian Lang to be so fierce? I would do the same if I were a judge! Anyway, Bian Lang’s output and quality are stable, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. In this first year of rise, we can give those old guys who will be in eternal despair in the future a little final dignity!” Although these words sound a bit strange, you can tell that Liang Kuan is extremely confident about Bian Lang’s future!

Then the Best New Artist Award has nothing to do with the Rolling Stones, and some other awards such as Best Song Written for a TV Series or a Film have nothing to do with the Rolling Stones either.

After reading the list, Liang Kuan said seriously, "We still have half a year to do this. We will try to have all the names of our Rolling Stones on the shortlist by next year!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuting was somewhat excited, but the other things were easy to say, except for the Best Newcomer Award.

"With the OST from Director Geng, nominations shouldn't be a problem. Chuchu has worked a little harder this year, so the Best Female Singer award won't be a big problem, but the Best Newcomer award is a little more difficult!"

After hearing what Chen Shuting said, Liang Kuan thought that Bian Lang had so many good songs, and as long as he was willing to spend money on publicity, it wouldn't be a big problem. The key was that it was hard to find new singers that Bian Lang would like.

In today's Internet society, there are so many ways for ordinary people to become famous. It is not like before when they had to go through various competitions and talent shows to find a way out. Otherwise, there would not be broker-type agents like Chen Shuting.

Thinking of this, Liang Kuan smiled a little sinisterly and said, "Shu Ting, you wouldn't have forgotten your own abilities before signing the contract with Bian Lang, right?"

Chen Shuting was stunned by Liang Kuan's words, then waved her hand and smiled, "I don't have the time now. I'm too busy with the Rolling Stones' affairs."

"Take in another apprentice. See if there's anyone suitable among those you've worked with before." Speaking of this, Chen Shuting thought of Little Witch, but Little Witch specializes in rock music, which is a bit too single-minded. Now the business of the Rolling Stones is not just about rock music. The business of Magic Rock covers pop, folk music, rap, etc...

"There is indeed such a person, but she is a blogger in the niche music circle. I will talk to her. It's better to have someone than nothing!"

In the past, Chen Shuting would never have been so calm when facing this news, but after nearly a year of baptism, he felt that so many nominations from Rolling Stone were justified, and Bian Lang deserved the award!
But other people in the circle didn't see it that way. The moment Zhu Wen saw the list, he started cursing: "We've worked so hard before, but the organizing committee hasn't set up an award for the best rock band. Isn't this just tailor-made for the Rolling Stones? There must be something fishy going on! This award must have been paid for by the Rolling Stones!"

Although he knew that this was impossible, Zhu Wen would not let go of any opportunity to discredit the Rolling Stones.

Moreover, at this time, you don’t even need to spend much money to hire water armies. As long as the news is thrown out, those marketing accounts that want traffic will naturally follow, and they will even add fuel to the fire to help improve the content and inferences.

Zhu Wen didn't hesitate for a moment and directly gave the job to a man he often hired to do shady work.

Normally, this kind of work would be XHS50, public account 200, and Weibo and other things would just be a package price.

But today, after seeing this work, the shady guy raised the price directly: "The matter between the Rolling Stones and the Golden Melody Awards is not an ordinary matter. It is not just targeting the Rolling Stones. You are also slandering the Golden Melody Awards. XHS80 for one post starting at 50 followers, and 1000 for one post on the official account..."

"Why don't you go grab it..." Zhu Wen typed all these words into the dialog box, but finally thought about it and deleted them, and changed it to: "XHS 300, 5 waists of the public account!"

Considering the various media battles that will take place in the future, any stain on the Rolling Stones now can become a powerful weapon when everyone turns against them in the future. So he still thinks this little money should be spent.

As for Li Yiliang, he was no longer in a state of impotent rage and just smiled contemptuously after seeing it.

He really hopes that Bian Lang will win all the nominated awards this time!

As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. I hope Bianlang can withstand the backlash when the time comes!

Anyway, he has determined one thing now: no matter how hard he tries in his life, he will never be able to catch up with Bian Lang in creation. But as long as he keeps doing it, in this environment that likes grassroots counterattack stories, he, Li Yiliang, will eventually gain a considerable number of supporters.

What's more, they are indiscriminate and even more unreasonable than those young and brainless fans, and they are even more powerful!

……

Looking at Bian Lang himself, he was still in the rehearsal room. It was not until Dayong saw Chen Shuting standing outside for a while that he spoke to remind Bian Lang.

Bian Lang knew Chen Shuting's habits. No matter what happened at work, she would not take the initiative to interrupt the Rolling Stones who were rehearsing. If the matter was not urgent, she would just leave after a glance. If the matter was urgent, she would stand outside and wait like she did today.

After Bian Lang stopped the rehearsal, he opened the door and let Chen Shuting in.

"Congratulations everyone, we, the Rolling Stones and New Pants, have been nominated for Rock Band of the Year."

Although this was already expected, the band members still cheered in unison when they heard the news.

Even Di Lu, who was the most indifferent, took down his zither and punched Dayong hard.

Dayong did not dodge, pretending to rub the painful spot with his hands, grinning and saying: "Good job! I never thought that I, Chen Shaoyong, would be able to have this day. It seems that the sacrifices made by those bands before were not in vain!"

"Go to hell with you, Dayong! How can you talk like that?" Huang Kai immediately confronted Dayong.

Strauss, who is still not able to read and write Chinese fluently, also smiled happily under Hua Yan's translation: "It seems that joining the Rolling Stones is the best decision I have made so far in my music career."

No matter who they are, their vanity is greatly satisfied at this moment. This is the highest honor in the Chinese music scene, and it is a recognition of their continuous pursuit over the years. When they stand on the podium, they believe that their family and friends who did not understand them before, those who looked down on them or even hated them, will look at them with new eyes.

After a brief moment of jubilation, Dayong ran over and asked loudly, "No, is that the end? Where is Bian Lang's personal award?"

After Chen Shuting finished talking about the other awards that Bian Lang was nominated for with a smile, everyone came forward to hug Bian Lang. In their eyes, it was natural for these awards to be given to Bian Lang, and even if any of them went to someone else, it was all a shady deal!
After everyone had finished making noise, Chen Shuting continued, "There will be performances at the awards ceremony. Think about it, what will we sing?"

"Um, aren't we singing the Golden Melody Award-winning songs?" Huang Kai's rhetorical question was a matter of course.

"Normally, that's the case!" Chen Shuting paused after saying this, and then continued, "But if 'Shame' wins, the singer will be Liu Yao, so we have to be prepared. Another thing is that the organizing committee notified us that we can sing new songs without worrying about anything, so..."

"They are eager for us to sing new songs so that they can attract popularity for the award ceremony. These guys are really calculating!" After Dayong said this, he looked at Bian Lang with some helplessness, probably feeling sorry for the incident with "Shame".

Huang Kai saw through his thoughts and spoke up: "It's all good news. Whether it's "Shame" or "Rock and Roll on the New Long March Road", they are all honors for us Rolling Stones. Even if Liu Piku won this award, he should be grateful to Bian Lang and us Rolling Stones!"

Ever since Liu Yao and the rolling circle reconciled, no one had mentioned the name Liu Piku for a long time. Now when Huang Kai suddenly called out to him, everyone laughed out loud at the same time!

"Yeah, Sister Leather Pants has been nominated before, but she has never won a Golden Melody Award, right? If she wins the award this time, she will have to nod and call us brother every time she sees us in the future!" Dayong joked.

Bian Lang also joked, "Give it to her this time. He won't have a chance in the future!"
