Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 116, Let Him Pretend
"Because of Love, congratulations to Shen Lang!"

When Na Ying heard the result announced by the award presenter, the smile on her face froze instantly.

She found it hard to believe that it wasn't her. Every award on the Global Chinese Music Chart was generated by the combination of fans' votes and experts' votes. Could Shen Lang's qualifications and honors compare to that?

Just as her thoughts were racing, Shen Lang came on stage to receive the award.

This is not what makes Na Ying most angry.

After Shen Lang finished his acceptance speech and sang the winning song on stage, he went backstage and hasn't returned yet.

"The winner of the first Global Chinese Songs Chart Best Composer Award is Shen Lang, for "Blue Lotus"!"

This is not what makes Na Ying most angry.

"Best Arranger, "Dragon Fist", Shen Lang!"

“Best Album Producer: Shen Lang for “Lang” and Zhang Yadong for “Fable”!”

"Best Duet Song, "I Want to Understand You Better", Shen Lang and Tian Zhen!"

"Best Singer-songwriter, Shen Lang; Wang Lihong!"

"Best Newcomer, Shen Lang!"

"Best Album, "The Most Beautiful Voice", Shen Lang; "Fable", Wang Jingfei!"

“The best songs of the year: Fairy Tale, Blue Lotus, and Pursuing Dreams!”

This……

Just give him a special concert!

He won ten awards in a row, plus Best Video and Best Lyricist, a total of twelve awards.

This is the first time in the history of Chinese music.

It's not a good thing for other singers.

But their abilities and strengths are there, there's nothing much to say.

"Uh……"

Shen Lang, who was on the stage, holding the trophy, didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked quite cute. He paused for several seconds before speaking: "Where was I talking about when I came on stage just now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed.

Well, I've been on stage twelve times and I've said everything I could say, so it's normal that I can't think of any words.

But beneath everyone's smiles, there is envy, jealousy, and some even hatred.

"I would like to thank the Global Chinese Songs Chart for its support, and thank all my fans for their support."

Shen Lang was neither humble nor arrogant, neither proud nor impatient. He raised the trophy and walked off the stage amid applause.

The audience was discussing.

“I don’t even know how to describe it.”

"Twelve awards, unprecedented and unrivalled."

"Look at what the organizers have been forced into. Three double-yolked eggs were opened!"

"If you ask me, 20 hits is too little. He can get all of them by himself."

"There's also a big award for 'Most Popular Male Singer' later on."

"There won't be thirteen prizes, will there?"

……

At this moment, Na Ying's face was smiling again.

Because she came to the award of Most Popular Female Singer Award with greater confidence.

After all, she won this award at several major award ceremonies this year.

The results of it……

The award was given to Wang Jingfei.

Oh, she made me so angry that I can’t sleep tonight!
The only thing that made Na Ying feel a little better was that the Most Popular Male Singer Award was not given to Shen Lang but to Zhang Xueyou.

It was just a relief. Shen Lang had won twelve awards, which was going to make her feel uncomfortable for a while. As for Shen Lang, it didn't matter whether he won the last grand prize or not.

He has made history.

It ushered in an era of its own.

All in all there were not too many surprises in the outcome of tonight’s awards, as the size of individual awards was directly proportional to the cheers from the fans.

It was the first time that mainland pop music competed on the same level as pop music in the entire Chinese-speaking region, and mainland pop music also achieved rich results thanks to Shen Lang.

It can be said that mainland pop music and Shen Lang are really very popular.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Backstage, Du Ting’s bag could no longer hold the trophy.

Shen Lang went to find a plastic bag to put it in.

Everyone sent their congratulations.

At the same time, Zhou Jielun, Xie Tingfeng and Wang Lihong who were present at the scene were already astonished.

Is that human being?
It’s not because they have won many awards, but because they have released nearly thirty songs in one year, and each song is of the quality of a hit song. As those who are also engaged in music creation, they know how difficult this is.

The word "genius" is not enough to describe it, it's like he's using a cheat.

They were convinced, really, verbally, but in their hearts, they were still a little unwilling.

When you are in your twenties and full of vigor, you are still young and have a chance. How can you give up easily?

Come, fight again!

"Hello Shen Lang, can we chat?"

At this time, Shen Lang heard someone calling him backstage. He stopped and looked in the direction of the voice. It was one of the award presenters, CCTV director Chen Yulu. He immediately knew who it was.

"Director Chen."

Chen Yulu directed the program "Variety Show" in 1990, directed the two Lantern Festival Galas in 1994 and 1995, directed the large-scale disaster relief charity performance "We Are One" in 1998, and served as the director of CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time in 1999. Her resume is quite impressive, and this is her second time directing CCTV Spring Festival Gala: "Then I will get straight to the point. On behalf of the 2002 Spring Festival Gala program team of the Year of the Horse, I extend a sincere invitation to you. I believe your participation will make our gala even better."

Du Ting's eyes lit up.

This is something she and Chen Yaochuan have been working hard on without success.

Now that they have come to invite me themselves, it really proves the saying "If it's yours, it's destined to stay with you, and if it's not yours, you'll never get it."

Regardless of whether it was to gild the reputation or to show off one's face, the Spring Festival Gala was a must. Shen Lang did not hesitate and gave his all-purpose reply: "It is my honor."

Chen Yulu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I will inform you of the specific program and rehearsal time later."

In fact, not all stars want to be on the Spring Festival Gala.

After all, this is the most important festival for the Chinese people, and everyone wants to celebrate it at home with their families.

The Spring Festival Gala is held on New Year's Eve. Except for a few surrounding cities, even if you can take a plane to other places, you will arrive home on New Year's Day and will not be able to make it in time for the New Year's Eve dinner.

For example, Zhang Xueyou was invited every year, but was declined every year.

Although Shen Lang is alone, he can eat the New Year's Eve dinner wherever he is.

But he grew up in Chengdu, which is his hometown. What if he wants to go back?

Shen Lang is the most popular singer this year, no doubt about it.

Since his first solo album "Shen Lang·Radio Love Song" became a hit last year, he was able to perform on CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

He has released new songs and new albums this year, especially the Olympic bid theme song and the national football team's expedition song. He has become the most popular star among the audience in the 2002 Spring Festival Gala, the Year of the Horse.

It would be a great pity if we can't invite you.

Now it’s done, and Chen Yulu can finally put his mind at ease.

After saying goodbye to her, Shen Lang went backstage to participate in an interview with the organizer.

After finishing all the procedures, I invited Sun Yanzi, Zhang Guorong, Tian Zhen, Li Wen and Jin Haixin to have a midnight snack together.

Friends get together, drink and chat, and can't leave for a long time.
