I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 119: As a newcomer, Xu Kong needs to settle down
In addition to Xu Kong himself being shortlisted, Su Zhi was also shortlisted this time.

And it is also the most valuable "Best Female Singer of the Year".

Su Zhi had previously won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer and also successfully broke the record of the youngest queen of the domestic music scene.

Being shortlisted for the Chinese Language Annual Awards this time is very meaningful to her.

If we can win an award, we will have already conquered two-thirds of the three most influential music awards in the country.

But like Xu Kong, the competition for the singing queen there is equally fierce.

In addition to singers like Su Zhi who have already been crowned as queen of singing, there are also many first-line singers who are striving to become queen of singing and whose popularity and influence of their works are quite strong.

The most important thing is that Su Zhi’s ability to be shortlisted is actually inseparable from Xu Kong’s help.

Especially the songs that Xu Kong wrote for the other party on the "Singer" stage.

The popularity and data are almost enough to rank it in the top ten Chinese singles this year.

Films like "As Wish" and "So Many People in This World" are undoubtedly hits.

But the crux of the matter is that the reputation of this album, which Su Zhi had been preparing for more than a year, is really disappointing.

So if you want to win the prize this time, unless you are extremely lucky, the chances are actually not high.

"The few clothes Huayi ordered for you don't seem to fit. I've asked them to change them."

"Also, you need a female companion for this event. Can you communicate with Su Zhi?"

"If that doesn't work, I can help you contact other female artists."

In order to attend the award ceremony of the Chinese Music Festival, the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was forced to take a vacation again.

In Zhu Yu's words, he can skip other award ceremonies, but he will try his best to attend the Music Festival, one of the three most influential music awards in China.

It is not just a question of whether he can win the award, but also whether it will help Xu Kong's own fame.

But organizers like the Chinese Music Festival still have a huge influence on the domestic music industry. If Xu Kong doesn't go, the other party may think that it is a problem with his attitude and thus exclude newcomers like Xu Kong.

Although it is unlikely to be too blatant, it will definitely have an impact.

At least for the next award, Xu Kong might even have trouble getting shortlisted.

Xu Kong was not surprised by this.

After all, the entertainment industry looks glamorous and everyone seems to be harmonious on the surface.

But in fact, there are still many so-called circles.

Although he also disliked this kind of clique-forming behavior, there was no need to offend them deliberately.

"Su Zhi, let me ask, it should be no problem."

Xu Kong originally signed a three-year endorsement contract with Huayi. Now it seems that the other party really made a profit.

Although Huayi is a so-called high-end brand, Xu Kong's fame and popularity have increased very rapidly over the past six months.

A popular star who once barely made it into the top of the domestic entertainment industry has now been nominated for five heavyweight awards at the music festival at one time.

This time, Xu Kong wore their clothes to receive the award as required by the contract, which brought Huayi a huge amount of exposure.

Therefore, as early as when the shortlist was announced, the other party showed great importance.

He also customized several sets of clothes in different styles for Xu Kong.

However, Zhu Yu eventually asked the other party to make changes on the grounds that it was too gorgeous and fancy.

Currently, Xu Kong is already the most discussed singer among all the nominated singers. There is no need for him to attract public attention with his appearance. Instead, a more low-key and restrained style would be more suitable.

On the eve of the Chinese Music Festival, in a hotel in Shanghai.

"How about it?"

Xu Kong changed into a new suit provided by Huayi.

The black suit looks plain and simple, but it perfectly highlights Xu Kong's slender figure.

The exercise that I have been insisting on after traveling through time has finally taken effect. My originally thin figure has now become one that has muscles when I take off my clothes and looks thin when I put on clothes.

Zhu Yu looked carefully at Xu Kong in front of her, especially when she saw the sunny smile on the corner of his mouth.

My heartbeat inevitably quickened a little.

Putting aside other things, Xu Kong's appearance is really a gift from God.

He is handsome enough at ordinary times, and now that he is wearing formal clothes, he has even more charm of a mature man.

"quite handsome."

Zhu Yu praised with a smile.

After all, she is not a young girl anymore, so this situation is not too chaotic.

"Sister Yu, can you tie a tie?"

Xu Kong suddenly asked.

"Where's your assistant?"

Zhu Yu asked subconsciously.

Generally, this kind of work is done by the artist's assistant.

"Do you think the fat guy will?"

Xu Kong said with a smile.

Thinking of Xu Kong's agent Guo Zihao, Zhu Yu reluctantly reached out to Xu Kong:

"I know, give it to me."

Subconsciously, with a slightly coquettish tone, she took the dark blue striped tie from Xu Kong's hand.

Zhu Yu’s height was just up to Xu Kong’s nose, and when she was helping him tie his tie, she could clearly see his protruding Adam’s apple.

Coupled with Xu Kong's intermittent breathing, his chest rose and fell slightly.

I could feel Xu Kong looking down at my every move.

All this made Zhu Yu feel that the whole process was quite long.

"Thank you, Sister Yu."

After it was finally done, Xu Kong said with a smile.

It was not until Xu Kong left to find Su Zhi that Zhu Yu could not help but take a deep breath.

“I’m really crazy”

Subconsciously fanning herself to cool down her hot face, Zhu Yu muttered softly.

Su Zhi and Xu Kong booked the same hotel.

Since both of them were shortlisted for the award, they could go to receive the award together this time.

In fact, Su Zhi always attended similar award ceremonies or red carpet events alone.

So when Xu Kong went to ask, Su Zhi's agent Yuan Yinan subconsciously thought that Su Zhi would refuse, but who knew that Su Zhi agreed without even thinking about it.

"Are you wearing this outfit on purpose to match me?"

Su Zhi was also wearing a black women's suit, but the style and shape were more neutral, which was in line with her daily dressing habits.

But standing next to Xu Kong, they look quite a good match.

Of course, Xu Kong was just joking. After all, Su Zhi has always dressed like this, so it was probably a coincidence.

But to Xu Kong's surprise, Su Zhi nodded very seriously.

"Yeah." "What?" Xu Kong was also a little surprised.

"I asked your agent about the clothes you were going to wear for this awards ceremony, and then I went to choose them specifically for you."

Su Zhi's words really caught Xu Kong off guard.

Because as far as he knew, this was totally not something Su Zhi would do.

Before Xu Kong could think about it further, Su Zhi had already reached out and held his arm.

"Let's go."

"It's Xu Kong and Su Zhi!!!"

"Fuck, they are such a perfect match. I can't help but want to have sex with them when I see them in person."

"Xu Kong Su Zhi, look here, look here."

At the entrance of the Chinese Music Festival awards venue, many media reporters and internet celebrities who came to take advantage of the live broadcast had already squatted here early.

The rumors about Xu Kong and Su Zhi have been circulating since the time they were on "Singer".

But after that, except for a few interactions on the show "Our Song", the two of them almost never appeared in the same frame again.

At this time, attending the award ceremony and walking the red carpet together, this pairing of golden boy and jade girl naturally caused quite a stir.

"As far as I know, this is the first time since Su Zhi debuted that she has taken the initiative to partner with a male artist at an event, right?"

"These two are definitely real, I bet ten bags of spicy noodles!"

"Apart from anything else, Xu Kong is really handsome. I didn't think so before, but now I really think his looks are amazing."

In Feiniao's live broadcast room, it has to be said that even he himself has started to support the couple Xu Kong and Su Zhi.

Su Zhi is the kind of girl who looks like she doesn't want strangers to approach her and has a strong sense of distance, so she can't seem to fit in in most public situations.

But when standing with Xu Kong, there was a rare and inexplicable sense of harmony.

Feiniao also keenly discovered that in the past, most of the viewers in his live broadcast room would express disgust after seeing Xu Kong.

But since Xu Kong showed his talent in music, word of mouth has really changed completely.

Even many male netizens began to praise Xu Kong's appearance. You have to know that before, this was something that only female fans in the fan circle would like to say.

"Teacher Xu Kong, are you confident that you can win the award this time?"

"As the singer nominated for the most awards this year, how many trophies do you think you can take home in the end?"

During the interview session at the entrance of the venue, Xu Kong and Su Zhi were surrounded by a crowd of people.

On the contrary, there were only a few first-line singers nearby, which seemed a bit desolate.

"Being nominated is actually the best encouragement for me. Of course I hope to win the prize, but this kind of thing cannot be forced."

“The most important thing is to do your own music well.”

Xu Kong replied with a smile.

He behaved very modestly and spoke politely without any mistakes.

It was not difficult for him to deal with such a situation.

What Xu Kong didn't expect was that when he asked Su Zhi next to him, the other party said something shocking.

"I think Xu Kong deserves to win the awards he was nominated for this time."

The reporters who interviewed the two people all gave a half-smile and an "I understand" expression.

"What are they laughing at?"

“These are my true thoughts.”

Su Zhi looked at Xu Kong with some confusion.

Xu Kong spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he didn't know either.

But he probably understood that, just like when she was on the show "Our Song", Su Zhi's unreserved preference for him that she inadvertently revealed was enough for the media reporters to hype up.

Now that the video of this interview is released, I guess the CP fans will have another party.

"Teacher Bai, do you think you can win the award this year?"

"This is your third consecutive year in being nominated for the Best Male Singer at the Music Festival. If you still can't win the award this time, will you choose to challenge for the Best Singer award next year?"

"How would you personally evaluate competing for the same award with Xu Kong, the new music star who has the highest popularity among the outside world?"

In addition to the lively scene when Xu Kong and Su Zhi entered the venue, which attracted many media interviews, singers who were nominated for some heavyweight awards were also favored by the media.

For example, Bai Mintao, who seemed a little annoyed when being asked this question.

As a first-line singer, this is his eighth time to be nominated for the Best Male Singer of the Year in the three major music awards over the years.

In order to achieve the so-called title of King of Singers, Bai Mintao has been a model worker in recent years. His output has even reached an exaggerated level, with at least one album a year, plus a variety of EPs and singles. It is estimated that he can produce dozens of new songs.

Regardless of the quality, this amazing perseverance has indeed made netizens talk about it for a long time.

At this year's music festival, in addition to Xu Kong, the newcomer who was nominated for five awards, Bai Mintao was also the focus of everyone's discussion.

After all, people won't remember inviting a singer who was nominated for the best singer of the year but didn't win, unless you are nominated every time and never win.

Bai Mintao's album this year has received very good reputation and data, and he also has a hit single. Fans believe that this is the year he has the best chance of winning an award.

Of course, last year and the year before were also the most promising years.

The same thing happened two years ago.
"Xu Kong is indeed a rare and talented young singer."

"But after all, it's only been a year since my debut, so I still need to settle down."

Bai Mintao answered casually.

At this moment in Feiniao's live broadcast room, although this sentence sounds fine at first glance, if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is some deep meaning in it!
"Does Bai Mintao think that Xu Kong is too popular and it's a bit unreasonable for him to be nominated for so many awards?"

Fat Bird couldn't help but speak.

At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast also reacted.

"That seems to be the meaning!"

"It takes time for him to calm down. Doesn't that mean Xu Kong is not worthy of winning the award right now? He doesn't even have the qualifications to be shortlisted?"

"It seems that Xu Kong has been nominated for too many awards this time, even the most prestigious award, the Best Male Singer of the Year. Many singers are dissatisfied, right?"

Bai Mintao cannot see the comments from netizens in the live broadcast room.

After answering a few questions perfunctorily, he hurried into the venue.

"Bai Mintao really has no bearing at all. Look at She Huaning, a veteran singer."

"That's normal. If you had been trying to become the singing king for so many years without success, you would also be angry."

"Can Bai Mintao be compared with She Huaning? He has already won all the awards he deserves. He is already successful and famous, so he doesn't care about these things anymore."

The awards ceremony of the Chinese Music Festival is broadcast live.

At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded 200,000, mainly because the popularity is very high. Even if they have never heard the song and are not a fan of anyone, there are many netizens who just come to join in the fun.

However, Feiniao’s live broadcast room still has tens of thousands of regular viewers.

Now Feiniao has been able to obtain the so-called live broadcast rights from official channels.

The main purpose of this type of music award ceremony is to expand its influence, and they don't care about internet celebrities like Feiniao who have their own popularity coming to take advantage of the traffic.

After more than half an hour of red carpet performance, most of the nominated musicians entered the venue, and the award ceremony of the Chinese Music Festival finally officially began.
