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

Chapter 838 Brother Yi, We Are Wrong

"J-game", also known as "Wild Game".

It is Cai Yilin's new album released in April this year. It is also her first album after she made a comeback and left Jay Chou.

Due to the breakup of the "Double J Love", although it was rumored that Jay Chou was invited to write songs for this album, in the end, as expected - Jay Chou was not involved in the album after it was completed.

Cai Yilin, who was trying to prove that she could still do well without Jay Chou, wanted to use this album to tell the world that she could do it, but the cruel reality told her that this album was a complete flop.

Even with Wang Lihong, Huang Junlang, Chen Zhenchuan, Li Zhaoxiong and even foreigners found by Sony, it still didn't help.

This is a very dangerous signal in today's music ranking battle.

Although Sony still renewed her contract, due to the failure of both the single and album of "Sarcastic Game", the treatment she received was still quite different from what she had expected.

This world is so cruel.

Compared to Elva Hsiao and Sun Yanzi, two leading new generation female singers who have been successful all the way, she has put in 200% more effort than her peers but the recognition she has received is far less than what these two have received for just showing off their skills on stage.

The only thing she has gained from the marketing of "Di Cai" so far is probably her strong mentality to regain confidence when facing failure and the so-called "hard work" on the public level.

only……

Cai Yilin, who had just signed the contract extension in Chen Zeshan's office, looked down and saw the newspapers on his desk.

"Sun Yanzi's big hit in Europe?"

"Asian divas are attacking Europe!"

Liverpool...

Sun Yanzi encountered such an outrageous hot topic just by going out to eat, drink and have fun. Are her efforts... really meaningful?
Entering the European and American circles is the dream of every ambitious Chinese singer.

Zhou Yi, who can easily lead others to success when traveling, has undoubtedly become the most handsome guy on the red carpet of this year's Golden Melody Awards. Wearing a purple-black suit and a new hairstyle, his refreshing handsomeness once again set a new record for the most discussed red carpet on the Taiwanese red carpet.

In 2005, when long and side bangs had become popular, Zhou Yi looked unusually fresh.

Fans lined up on both sides of the red carpet early in the morning, and when their idol got out of the car and walked onto the red carpet to sign autographs, they burst into the most deafening cheers of the day -

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!! Zhou Yi!!!"

Even though he had just arrived in Taipei by private plane in the morning, Zhou Yi still looked very energetic.

"Welcome, Zhou Yi."

Luo Dayou, who rarely attended the Golden Melody Awards, saw Zhou Yi coming in the backstage, stood up with a smile, opened his arms, and greeted him with a hug.

Wu Bai, Chen Sheng, Fei Xiang and others were sitting on his side.

"As for Lao Duan's matter, he was too impatient."

"It's a small matter, normal."

Zhou Yi actually doesn't care much about the Rolling Stones forming a team to show off their power.

Because this year's Golden Melody Awards can be said to be the most unpopular Golden Melody Awards since the new century - even if the timeline is extended to 10 or even 20 years, this year's Golden Melody Awards can also compete for the championship in the "most unpopular" track.

The Rolling Stones worked hard for a long time, but ended up making wedding dresses for others.

As for how unpopular it is...

Let's put it this way, except for Warner's Sun Yanzi's Best Female Vocalist, F.I.R's Best New Artist, and Luo Dayou's Best Arranger, all other popular category awards were big upsets.

Strictly speaking, Luo Dayou's Best Arrangement was also a surprise, because his song was obviously not the best among the nominated songs, and it was just a trophy given to him.

Not only did Jay Chou, who brought his grandmother to the Golden Melody Awards, get nothing again, but he also got a lot of attention for his relationship with host Hou.

Even singers including Lin Junjie, Wang Lihong, and Wu Yuetian all missed the trophy.

Wang Lihong even caused a very embarrassing scene——

Because of the accent of award presenter Karen Mok, she read "Huang Lixing" as "Wang Lixing" when presenting the Best Male Singer award, causing Wang Lihong to think that he had won the award.

As a result, the scene became very chaotic for a while: Wang Lihong and Huang Lixing both thought they had won awards, so they stood up to celebrate with the people around them, and then went on stage to receive the awards at the same time, causing a big mistake.

In the end, the farce ended with Wang Lihong slinking off the stage in embarrassment.

However, this embarrassing scene probably won't happen tonight.

After all, Wang Lihong's original album "The Sun and Moon in My Heart" was not released last year and was moved to this year. So tonight he was just a guest presenter at the Golden Melody Awards and did not participate in the competition.

However, judging from the fact that he brought his grandmother with him, Jay Chou's previous statement that he didn't care about the Golden Melody Awards and wanted to withdraw was probably just empty talk.

I just wonder if tonight's failure to achieve anything will stimulate Jay Chou to re-create and adapt the song "Grandma". After all, he was the lead singer last time, and Jay Chou, who hadn't gained momentum yet, didn't have any psychological imbalance problems at all.

"I'm going to present the awards. Do you think you can get off to a good start?"

After they sat down, Sun Yanzi, who was standing behind Zhou Yi, came over and pointed meaningfully towards something not far away.

She and her teacher Li Sisong were the first round of award presenters, including the two best pop awards for Best Composition and Best Arrangement.

"I don't know. I don't think so."

Because the Golden Melody Awards have always adhered to the principle of not announcing the prizes in advance and has an increasingly strict confidentiality mechanism, even Zhou Yi is not sure whether the organizing committee will give him the trophy tonight.

"real or fake?"

Sun Yanzi was obviously a little unconvinced.

But when she actually went on stage to draw the prizes, she believed it.

"The winner of the 16th Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Composition is... Wang Hongen and Zhong Chenghu / "Dear Baby", album "The Wind Walker"."

???

? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ?

When Sun Yanzi took the envelope from his teacher Li Sisong on the stage and opened it to announce the winners, the huge Golden Melody Awards venue was filled with nothing but the sound of people whispering to each other, except for the sudden sound of music. The audience watching this year's Golden Melody Awards on TV in thousands of households were even more excited.

"The list of nominees for Best Composition is quite impressive. I feel like anyone could win any of the top few."

"Zhou Yi's "General's Order" is very strong, and it deserves the award."

"Luo Dayou's "The Falling City" is also good, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Jay Chou's 'Stranded' is also OK, this song is pretty good."

"It's no problem to take Li Sisong's "Same Kind" or Lin Junjie's "The World"."

"Who the hell are Wang Hongen and Zhong Chenghu?!"

Unpopular!

What a big upset!
An absolute upset!

It is conservatively estimated that about 75% of the audience at the scene and even in front of the TV did not know or hear the song and its author. Shui Lingling defeated Zhou Yi, Luo Dayou, Jay Chou, Lin Junjie, and Li Sisong, and won the Best Composition Award.

“WTF, the Golden Melody Awards also has its own Istanbul Night?!”

"No way, buddy, this can convince everyone?"

"The Golden Melody Awards have gone crazy? Are they trying to put some pressure on Warner?"

"..."

All the fans in the audience were stunned into silence by this winner. Even Wang Hongen and Zhong Chenghu themselves did not expect that they could win the award. They were obviously a little dizzy when they went on stage to receive the award.

Fortunately, the next best arrangement award went to Luo Dayou, which somewhat calmed the doubts of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.

"The winner of the 16th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards for Best Lyricist is... Zhou Yi - "Hair Like Snow"! Congratulations!"

The Golden Melody Awards officials were fair, giving Luo Dayou and Zhou Yi one award each, which immediately made Jay Chou and others excited——

Ok?
Wanna play balance?

Even Zhou Yi himself was mumbling in his heart, and he went on stage to receive the trophy for the best lyricist from Liang Yongqi.

"Thank you."

The most concise and powerful acceptance speech in the history of the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards came out just in time to catch everyone off guard.

Before Liang Yongqi, the award presenter, could react, Zhou Yi had already walked off the stage with one hand in his pocket.

"It seems like I was overthinking it. The Golden Melody Awards officials clearly don't have the guts to do it."

"It's open, it's open. Who will have the last laugh, Zhou Yi, Luo Dayou, or Jay Chou?"

"I bet on Zhou Yi."

"I bet on Luo Dayou."

"Book of Changes..."

Small groups were still opening their bets, but the big hand of the Golden Melody Awards smashed their bets with unprecedented force.

The winners of major awards such as Best Male Singer, Best Album, and Best Album Producer were not Zhou Yi, Luo Dayou, Jay Chou, or Lin Junjie. All of them were unexpected favorites.

Even the best group was not the most popular Wu Yuetian, but Power Train, which only released one compilation.

Zhou Yi, who had almost dominated the last few awards in the past, only won the Best Lyrics Award tonight, and the highly respected Luo Dayou only won the Best Arrangement Award;
Jay Chou remained silent and didn't get any harvest, but his grandmother and girlfriend were still sitting beside him...

The only two hot candidates: Sun Yanzi retained her Best Female Singer award and successfully defeated Liang Jingru to win the Best Female Singer award for the second time, becoming the youngest Chinese singer to win the Best Female Singer award twice in the history of the Golden Melody Awards;
Fei Er won the Best Newcomer award with overwhelming strength.

Just like the Istanbul night that shocked the world not long ago, Luo Dayou and Zhou Yi's respective awards at the beginning made people think that tonight would be a hot melee -

Who would have thought that the remaining grand prizes almost all encountered unexpected moments.

"Golden Melody Awards Istanbul Night"——

The next day, most Taiwanese newspapers that had just concluded the Golden Melody Awards used this headline.

The busts of Zhou Yi and Luo Dayou are at the two ends of the photo, and the goddess of luck Sun Yanzi is standing above them.

The popular contestants with only portraits behind the three people, including Jay Chou, were all drawn as footballs falling into the net - and the scene of the award ceremony was changed to the stadium in Istanbul at night.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The fan groups of popular singers in the Taiwanese music scene were all silenced by this result.

What followed was a spectacular scene of them all lining up to apologize under Zhou Yi’s blog.

"Brother Yi, we were wrong! You are right to withdraw from the Golden Melody Awards! We support you!"

"Brother Yi, we were wrong! We shouldn't have said that you were bullying others by taking advantage of your power!"

"Brother Yi, we were wrong..."

Fans of Jay Chou, Wu Yuetian, Lin Junjie, and even fans of Lin Zhixuan and Luo Dayou...

"Brother Yi, we were wrong!"

It was a rare scene of unity, unique since the birth of the Internet. People who had originally been critical of Zhou Yi turned their guns around, kowtowed and admitted their mistakes to show their support.

Damn Golden Melody Awards, I gave you the chance but you didn’t use it!
