The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 679: Value in the Zhouyi Era

If the self-introductions of Zhou Yi, Sun Yanzi, Jay Chou and Zhang Shaohan were a surprise to the stars and fans below the stage, then the appearance of Zhu Xiaotian's VCR completely changed the nature of the event.

It’s the opposite!

You, Zhu Xiaotian, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually betrayed me? !

This thought immediately popped up in everyone’s mind, regardless of whether they were F4 fans or not.

Although you, Zhu Xiaotian, have already entered the mainland to film, aren't you licking Zhou Yi a little too quickly?

As Zhou Yi broke through the restrictions and performed on the Golden Melody Awards stage for the first time, this congratulatory VCR can be described as one of the two following the other -

In addition to Zhu Xiaotian, many well-known industry figures such as Twins, Wang Xinling, Lin Yichen, Wang Feng, Xiao Yaxuan, Yao Qian, Zhou Jianhui, Aaron Kwok, Richie Jen, Liu Ruoyin, Cheng Long, Jiang Wen and others all sent their blessings.

There is even the man who once competed with Zhou Yi in mainland China: Xie Tingfeng.

"Seriously, sometimes I'm really jealous of you, Ayi..."

Xie Tingfeng on the screen was talking to himself, but the camera on the scene was very good at finding the subject and directly captured Wang Fei's face.

Unlike Zhou Yi who often breaks tabloid records with the number of his rumored girlfriends, the twists and turns of the love story between Wang Fei and Xie Tingfeng frequently attracts the audience's attention.

Although the two broke up completely in November last year and Wang Fei has been frequently rumored to be having an affair with Li Yapeng recently, many people still regard them as a couple.

It’s a pity that Queen Wang, who had experienced many ups and downs, did not have any extra expression, and could even applaud Zhou Yi with a smile.

In fact, after Zhu Xiaotian, the order of appearance of these VCRs is also very particular. Basically, they are arranged in the order in which Zhou Yi has known and grown up since his debut.

After the last person's VCR was played, the members of Gunke Band changed their instruments and played the prelude again -

Only this time, the music they played was cheerful.

First came "A Mistake in the Flower Field", followed by "Beside the Plum Blossoms", "The West Chamber", "Broken by the East Wind", and finally ended with "Blue and White Porcelain".

Chinese style medley special!
Every song is familiar to the audience. Although they are just excerpts and adaptations, the whole audience can still sing along to every song!
Especially when the melody of "Blue and White Porcelain" sounded, even many stars at the scene stood up and applauded, singing along with the chorus -

"The glaze color renders the charm of the lady's picture and is kept privately"

"And your sweet smile is like a bud about to bloom
"Your beauty drifts away, to places I can't go~"

Holding a microphone in hand, Zhou Yi walked around the stage, his left hand raised high and swaying with the melody. When he sang the chorus, he pointed to the audience seats and the location of his fan club.

"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you~
"The smoke from the cooking stove rises up, thousands of miles away across the river~"

Amid the chorus of the whole audience, colorful ribbons floated down from the sky. Zhou Yi pointed to his chest and made a heart gesture towards them with both hands.

The sky is waiting for mist and rain, and I am waiting for you.

Even though there are thousands of miles between us.

The most literary and implicit lyrics, the simplest and most straightforward confession.

It satisfied all the fans who had been loyal to the brand for four years at once, and moved them to tears.

Now, they finally know why Warner went to great lengths to keep this special show at the Golden Melody Awards a secret.

This is a love letter from Zhou Yi that is four years late;
It’s twenty minutes dedicated to their pasta.

The Golden Melody Awards has set a record for the opening performance time since its inception, but no one has raised any objections, and many people even think it is too short.

"Thank you!"

Finally, after singing a Chinese-style medley that represented his four years of singing, Zhou Yi and the three people who had stopped the accompaniment and stood shoulder to shoulder with him bowed to the audience to express their gratitude. They slowly left the stage amid cheers and applause and walked backstage.

....................................

“Ahhhhh! I told you it’d work! How about this and that!”

As soon as he entered the backstage, Sun Yanzi instantly lost the vigor he had on the stage. He shook Zhou Yi's shoulders with a smile on his face, as if to say "I am a hero, come and praise me."

"Indeed, thanks to you."

Zhou Yi smiled and put his hand on her forehead, forcibly pulling her away from him, pretending to be disgusted: "But you played the wrong note, so I'll deduct points."

Sun Yanzi: "..."

Jay Chou and Zhang Shaohan laughed out loud.

Since they didn't put on the so-called performance makeup, they put down their instruments, accepted the interview with Dongfeng Satellite TV, and then returned to the Golden Melody Awards. After all, except Zhang Shaohan, the others were nominated for this year's Golden Melody Awards, and they still had to see if they won the award.

Zhou Yi doesn't care, but they do.

When they returned to their seats, they were greeted with applause like the return of heroes.

Qian Jiang was very pleased.

With this, he wouldn't care even if Zhou Yi returned empty-handed tonight because of the conceptual problems of "Gui Zang".

However, the facts have proved that the influence of Zhouyi is still too great.

Despite the inevitable controversy no matter how it was reviewed, Zhou Yi still won the Best Composition and Arrangement trophies for "Blue and White Porcelain", and helped Ning Hao win the Best Video Director for "The End of War".

Best Lyrics, lost to Song Yueting/Life's a Struggle.

Of course, this is a posthumous work, as the hip-hop genius Song Yueting himself died in 2002.

According to Chinese tradition, the dead are the greatest.

In the next singing competition, Wu Sikai, the winner of the first Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer, finally won the trophy for Best Mandarin Male Singer in the late stage of his career after nearly 20 years of being a runner-up. Zhou Yi, Wang Lihong, Jay Chou and Zhe Tao lost.

There is no other way. If I don’t give Wu Sikai the award now, I’m afraid there will be no chance in the future. I have to respect the old senior who is about to retire.

The Golden Melody Awards officials think that this reason can also shut them up.

After receiving the award, Wu Sikai was obviously very excited and almost burst into tears, and she even stumbled when speaking her speech.

When the camera scanned Zhou Yi, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but was smiling and applauding.

To be honest, he didn't have a very deep impression of Wu Sikai. He just knew that her song "Special Love for Special You" was very popular all over the country.

Sun Yanzi, one of the Warner Twin Stars, also lost in the competition for Best Singer to Wang Fei, who is about to retire from the music scene. The Golden Melody Awards were also afraid that they would never have the chance to give out trophies again, so this year's Best Singer and Best Actress awards were given to the two old men.

The Best Newcomer award was presented by Zhang Shaohan to Lin Junjie of Ocean Butterflies;
After the Best Album Producer Award was presented, Wang Lihong, who had been trying to prove himself since entering the Zhouyi era, won the trophy with "Incredible" -

"Honestly, I'm very excited. I didn't expect that I could win this producer award. I want to thank the record company, my parents, and the people around me who have always supported me in making the music I love..."

Wang Lihong was really about to cry.

Judging from the time of his debut, he, who pretended to be a new generation, has been under a lot of pressure since the millennium, especially after his previous failure in going to Japan.

Fortunately, whether it was because Zhou Yi's "Return to the Vault" was too sensitive or because of other factors, he eventually defeated Jay Chou, Zhe Tao and others and snatched the Best Album Producer Award from Zhou Yi, the big devil.

It is of great value.

Not every creator has the ability or qualifications to snatch something from Zhou Yi's fingernails.

Jay Chou, who also wanted to win this award, could not hide his disappointment on his face.

But soon, he was overjoyed - the Best Singing Album Award, which was the main performance, went to "Ye Huimei".

yes!

When hearing his name spoken by Luo Dayou, Jay Chou couldn't hold back his joy. He jumped up and clenched his fist in the air, then hugged Zhou Yi who congratulated him: "Although it's a bit unfair to win, it's really not easy to beat you once."

"You're overthinking. Go get your award."

Zhou Yi kicked the cocky Jay Chou on the butt and cursed him with a smile.

Jay Chou, who came on stage rubbing his butt, held up the trophy and smiled happily: "Well, I'm very happy. As everyone knows, Ayi has been feeding me countless cups of milk tea, which has caused me to gain weight. It is very difficult to lose weight.

“I’m very lucky this year that I can drink it back.”

The audience burst into laughter.

The milk tea appointment can be considered as a grudge between the two since their debut.

"Thank you to the Golden Melody Awards, the record company, and everyone around me, thank you."

Jay Chou and Wang Lihong, a pair of creative talents shrouded in the shadow of the Zhouyi era, finally got their wish at this year's Golden Melody Awards and won the award they regard as the most valuable.

Until the Golden Melody Awards ceremony was over, the corners of their mouths never relaxed.
