Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 67, Emergency

Sunday, April 4, 29pm.

"All of China is listening. Who can be more original than me..."

"Whenever the word 'love' appears in our sight, various stories will emerge. Some people recall the beauty of youth, while others lament the regrets left behind..."

"Tonight we have invited an 'old friend' of the China Songs Chart to our show. He has never fallen out of the top ten since his debut, and his song 'Fairy Tale' even set a new record of winning the championship for 17 consecutive weeks..."

At this time, tens of thousands of listeners were listening to Yanjing Music Radio's gold medal program "Chinese Song Chart" in front of the radio.

"Brother Lang is here!"

"I've been waiting in front of the radio for a long time."

"Stop talking so much and hurry up!"

"I just want to know which female singer is singing this song together today!"

"The hotline is not working. What's going on?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

……

Zhong Xia is an editor of "Contemporary Music" magazine and a loyal viewer of the program "China Song Chart". Not only can she listen to good songs in the program, but she can also find work materials.

She is very familiar with today's guest, Shen Lang, and has already written three related articles.

Her purpose this time is the same as everyone else's, which is to wait for the third title song of Shen Lang's new album "The Most Beautiful Voice".

But she not only listens, she also writes.

Because the new issue of "Contemporary Music" gave Shen Lang a special topic, and she was responsible for writing the manuscript.

The more Zhong Xia understood Shen Lang, the more incredible it seemed to him.

The album "Shen Lang·Radio Love Song" + the single disc "Fairy Tale" sold 350 million copies in Asia.

If piracy is included, the popularity of the film would have to be multiplied by at least 3, and the total sales would exceed 1000 million copies.

This can't be called a surprise, but rather a "shock".

"Why haven't you gotten to the point yet?"

Shan Lin was sitting in front of the radio, eating melon seeds while waiting for the new song to come on.

She was too lazy to take notes on these interviews, as they were all worthless questions.

We should let her go and ask, and she will definitely dig out the big news.

"Thank you very much to Shen Lang for sharing his insights on love with us. Now please enjoy the third title song "Love is Hard" from Shen Lang's new album "The Most Beautiful Voice" which will be released on May 5st."

finally come.

Zhongxia turned up the volume of the radio and turned on the tape recorder.

To analyze a song, it is not enough to listen to it once. You have to record it, listen to it repeatedly, and ponder it over and over again.

"It would be best to love forever, but who can make love a lifelong hobby..."

When the song started, Zhong Xia was stunned.

It’s actually a Cantonese song!

And this voice, Anita Mui?

At the same time, in Jinling, Wutaishan Gymnasium.

The 2000 "Jinshiyuan" Cup Awards Ceremony of the "China Pop Music Chart" hosted by China National Radio is being held here.

All award-winning singers from the mainland will appear on the scene and sing their winning songs.

Singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan also attended the event, including Zhang Xinzhe, Lin Zhixuan, Chen Xiaodong, Stefanie Sun and Cai Yilin.

Shen Lang received the notice as early as the 25th, winning the Best Newcomer and Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year awards. However, because he had been scheduled to be a guest on the show "China Songs Chart" at the beginning of the month and had also announced it to the public, missing the date would affect the sales of subsequent albums.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he chose not to go to the awards ceremony.

As a result, he lost both awards.

The reason is that this award ceremony has a strange rule that if the winner does not attend the event, his or her award will be revoked.

Shen Lang came down from the live broadcast, chatted with a few staff members, said hello to his old colleagues, and then left the radio station.

He is too busy.

Today we are shooting a night scene for "Love Across Time and Space". Work starts at 9pm and we have to rush back to the crew.

In the car, Shen Lang was planning to catch up on some sleep, but just as he closed his eyes, his cell phone rang.

"Hey."

"Shen Lang."

It’s Stefanie Sun calling.

Shen Lang was thinking of calling her tomorrow to congratulate her, but he didn't expect her to call him herself: "Congratulations, our classmate Sun has won another award."

Sun Yanzi sighed softly: "Stop talking about this award ceremony... How does the idiom say it? It's like sitting here... It means that sitting here is very uncomfortable and I don't want to stay for even a minute."

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "It's 'sitting on pins and needles', what's going on? Did something happen?"

Stefanie Sun replied: "You didn't come to the scene and missed a big show. The first half was fine, but in the second half..."

When the host announced that Tian Zhen won the annual Top Ten Golden Songs Award for the song "No Regrets in Love".

Tian Zhen, wearing sunglasses, walked onto the stage.

She was supposed to sing the winning song, but she didn't. Instead, she said angrily, "I want to expose the fraud in the awards. Yesterday, the organizing committee told me that I won the 'Most Popular Female Singer' award based on the fans' votes, but today they told me that another person won the award, and that singer came in second."

Hearing this, the two hosts quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "There must be a misunderstanding..."

Tian Zhen ignored them and continued, "I am shocked by the frivolous approach of the organizing committee. I don't want to accept this award."

After saying that, he threw the microphone hard on the table, turned around and strode off the stage.

This sudden situation caused an uproar in the audience.

The award ceremony was also interrupted for dozens of minutes.

Shen Lang was stunned after hearing this.

But they soon realized that this was the same incident as "Na Ying was second in grabbing the award and Tian Zhen angrily threw the microphone."

He had browsed related news when watching short videos in his previous life, but he didn't click in to see the details.

It turned out to have happened at today’s awards ceremony.

The cause of the incident was that Tian Zhen, who had received the award notification, also had a performance today and was not sure whether she could go.

It was not until around eleven o'clock this morning that Tian Zhen turned down the performance and her agent called the organizer and said she could go to receive the award.

Just after I boarded the plane at 5pm, the organizer suddenly called me and said, "Please, can you not come? We will bear all the losses. The pressure on our side is too great. Please, don't come."

Before I could find out the situation, the plane was about to take off, so I had to turn off my phone.

When they arrived at the scene, the organizer told Tian Zhen that the award would be given to Na Ying. They were under a lot of pressure and hoped that she could understand.

What's particularly ridiculous is that they also said: "We will set up a 'Global Most Popular Chinese Singer Award' for you. This is the highest award. The award will be given out first, and the trophy will be sent to you later when it is ready."

Tian Zhen angrily said: "My attitude is, yes is yes, no is no, what global Chinese music, the most popular singer in the world, the universe, even if you give it to me, I won't accept it."

Then the scene of revealing the inside story and throwing the microphone happened on the stage.

After listening to this, Shen Lang frowned and said, "I remember that the organizers publicly announced that in order to maximize the "public opinion" and "fairness" of the list, the selection of the three major awards, the Most Popular Male Singer Award, the Most Popular Female Singer Award, and the Most Popular Album Award, will be decided by the fans. If these votes cannot be counted, then what is the point of voting?"

Sun Yanzi sighed, "You don't know, this award ceremony is too commercial, with advertisements everywhere, and it's extremely unprofessional. Didn't you tell them you wouldn't be attending, but there are still your posters on the scene."
