Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 71: Nan Tingfeng is not good at all

There are fights in the Chinese music scene every year.

The Hong Kong Jade Solid Gold Awards Ceremony, which has been held since 1983, selects the Song of the Year and the Best Singer of the Year every year. It was once a battleground for all kinds of singers.

Another one is the Golden Melody Awards. Since 1990, the Golden Melody Awards held by Formosa Province has become the largest and most influential music award in the Chinese music scene, and has witnessed the highlight moments of many singers becoming gods.

Although the competition between Shen Lang and Xie Tingfeng is like a child's fight in front of the battle between their predecessors, it is a collision between representative figures of the new generation of singers in the Chinese music scene.

The Chinese music scene belongs to both the older generation and the new generation, but ultimately it belongs to the new generation.

Therefore, countless people from both inside and outside the industry are paying attention to it.

On the first day of the album's release alone, music radio stations across the country were flooded with song request hotlines.

This has also led to changes in major music charts.

"Fairy Tale", which had been at the top for 17 consecutive weeks, finally gave up its place and dropped to tenth place.

Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun's "Marry Me Today" topped the charts;
Shen Lang and Wang Jingfei, "Because of Love", second place;
Shen Lang and Anita Mui’s “It’s Hard to Love” came in third;
Xie Tingfeng, “Jade Butterfly”, fourth;
Stefanie Sun’s “The Happiness I Want” ranked fifth;
Shen Lang and Cai Yilin, “Prague Square”, No. 6;
Shen Lang and Xiao Yaxuan’s “Can’t Help Loving You” ranked seventh;
Xie Tingfeng's "Hidden Dragon" No. 8;
Elva Hsiao’s “Theme Song of Love” ranked ninth;
Shen Lang, Fairy Tale, No. 10;
……

Among the top ten, there are only two old songs and a new song by Stefanie Sun, and the rest are all divided between Shen Lang and Xie Tingfeng.

In terms of quantity and ranking, Shen Lang is currently in the lead.

It's just that he looks like one person, but in fact there are eleven people.

Music magazines in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan also put this fight on their covers in their new issues.

"The Big World of Fans": The list has been changed, but not completely changed, Shen Lang dominates the list again!
"Contemporary Music Scene": Whether Xie Tingfeng can successfully capture the mainland market depends on this battle!
"The Singer and the Song": Shen Lang's whirlwind swept the Hong Kong music scene, how did Xie Tingfeng cope with it!

"Ming Pao": The battle for the successor to the new century king!

"Yu Guang Music": 10 heavyweight female singers, Shen Lang's new album brings out new ideas!

"Global Audio": Shen Lang and Xie Tingfeng have a big fight over their new albums, who will have the last laugh?
The media hyped it up like crazy.

The public is enjoying the show.

With such high attention, the sales of Shen Lang and Xie Tingfeng's new albums have been rising steadily.

The first day was a tie.

Shen Lang sold 5 tickets in mainland China.

Xie Tingfeng's album sold 4 copies in Hong Kong.

But when it comes to No. 5, the data has changed drastically.

Shen Lang, 12 tickets in the Mainland, 3 tickets in Hong Kong, 10 tickets in Formosa Province, and a total of 28 tickets in Asia.

Xie Tingfeng, 5 tickets in the Mainland, 5 tickets in Hong Kong, 4 tickets in Formosa Province, and a total of 19 tickets in Asia.

The gap has reached 9 tickets.

Xie Tingfeng only has a slight advantage in Hong Kong.

Shen Lang basically suppressed everything.

The biggest beneficiary is Stefanie Sun, whose new album "The Happiness I Want" did not become cannon fodder in the competition between the two heroes.

On the contrary, we took advantage of this big wave and achieved good sales results.

Zhou Jianhui was so happy that he thought this bet was so accurate.

Today, there is another big event, the 12th Golden Melody Awards is held at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center.

It was widely rumored that this was the most glorious Golden Melody Awards since the millennium.

Powerful singers such as Wang Jingfei, Na Ying, Zhang Huimei, Mo Wenwei, Li Zongsheng, and Yu Chengqing.

The new generation also includes Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, Lihong Wang, Penny Tai, Kee Chen, Mayday, etc.

The only difference is that there is one more Shen Lang.

With just one album "Shen Lang·Radio Love Song", he was nominated for seven awards including Best Composition, Best Lyricist, Best Arranger, Best Album Producer, Best Newcomer, Best Male Singer, and Best Album.

It has surpassed Na Ying's six nominations.

As a result, he became the first mainland singer in history to be nominated for the most Golden Melody Awards.

Of course, just being shortlisted is not enough. It depends on who wins more and bigger prizes tonight.

At 6pm, the Golden Melody Awards Avenue of Stars opened.

The star-studded cast was even more impressive than the nominated singers, with Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Andy Lau, Luo Dayou, Sandy Lam, Chen Shuhua and other Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars present.

During the interview, the question they were asked most often was about the fight between Shen Lang and Xie Tingfeng.

Zhang Guorong: "They are all new forces in the Chinese music scene, so you shouldn't hype them up against each other."

Anita Mui: "I had a great time working with Alang. He is very talented and insightful in music. Tingfeng is also a singer and actor I like very much."

Andy Lau: "I've been busy preparing for concerts and new albums recently, so I've only heard a little bit about it."

Luo Dayou: "Only those who have written songs know how difficult it is for one person to write lyrics, compose music and arrange the music."

Lin Yilian: "I've heard them all. Their styles are different. They are all talented singers."

Chen Shuhua: "I like Shen Lang's "Prose Poems for My Father", which is real and touching."

Everyone is very careful.

After all, I have been in the entertainment industry for more than ten or twenty years, how could I fall into a trap so easily?

The bigwigs being dragged down also added fuel to the fight that was hyped up by the media.

At this time, the Avenue of Stars.

"The person you see on the screen now is Stefanie Sun, who has been nominated for six awards!"

The fans on both sides screamed non-stop.

Stefanie Sun’s outfit today is normal, a black and white tube top dress, which makes her look quiet and pretty.

She was accompanied by her father, teacher Li Sisong, album producer Bao Xiaobo and boss Zhou Jianhui.

When we arrived at the interview area, the two hosts spoke one sentence each.

"Hello, congratulations, that's amazing, you've been nominated for three awards personally, and your album has been nominated for three more awards."

"This is very special. I'm nominated for both the 'Best Female Vocalist Award' and the 'Best Newcomer Award'. The competition is very fierce. Previously, Shen Lang snatched away the Best Newcomer award on the Global Chinese Music Chart. Are you confident that you can win it back this time?"

Sun Yanzi smiled and said softly, "No, I didn't think too much about winning the award. Besides, Shen Lang and I are very good friends. I am also very happy that he won the award."

"Okay, thank you Sun Yanzi, thank you all."

As soon as the interview ended, deafening screams were heard from the scene.

"Shen Lang, ah, so handsome!"

"Shen Lang, I love you!"

"Shen Lang, I summon you!"

Chen Yaochuan followed Shen Lang.

Neither of them had expected that his popularity in Formosa Province had become so high.

Shen Lang kept smiling and waved to the fans on both sides as he walked.

Fortunately, there were enough security guards, otherwise they would not be able to stop those eager female fans.

When we arrived at the interview area, the two hosts were still singing in unison as before.

"Congratulations! You have been nominated for seven awards in total. You are the singer with the most nominations at this year's Golden Melody Awards. That's amazing."

"Wow, you look so handsome today. Have you set any goals for yourself?"

Shen Lang said calmly: "I don't have any goals. This is my first time participating. I have no burden or pressure."

Host: "You are now known as the 'No. 1 Newcomer in the Chinese Music Scene'. What do you think of this title?"

Shen Lang said in his heart: "The title is given by others, but your life is your own, just be yourself."

"Thank you Shen Lang, I wish you a good harvest tonight."

After leaving the interview area, Shen Lang and Chen Yaochuan entered the venue.

Arriving at the inner field, Shen Lang looked around.

Now two-thirds of the seats are already occupied.

I saw where Stefanie Sun was and prepared to go over and chat with her since we haven't seen each other for a while.

As a result, he was stopped after walking a few steps.
