The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 142 Online Debate and the Bigger Stage
Tianya Forum
A post titled [Do singers have to be present at the award ceremony to win the prize?] was pinned to the top of the most prominent position by a moderator of Tianya Forum on the morning of Labor Day.

Landlord:

I'm sure you've all seen the news, so what do you think of a certain singer's remarks such as "The award will be given to those who are present, and if you are not present, it will be given to the next person." and "Zhang Chen was not present, but on what basis should he win the award"?
@希望幸福: What singer? Isn’t it Tian Zhen?
@阅读书太快因洛负忍: Since the "Most Popular Female Singer" award was chosen by audience voting, it should be given to Tian Zhen no matter what. Otherwise, what's the point of having the audience vote?
@0: Isn’t it because she is reluctant to give up the title of “Most Popular Female Singer”?

@白月光的小鱼儿℃: What does that eagle have to do with it? This was arranged by the organizer, and it was postponed to her. It wasn't her who took the initiative to snatch Tian Zhen's award.

@薰勿空: She later said she would rush to the scene, so why did the award still go to the eagle?
@My mom didn't hit me for three days: Isn't anyone paying attention to another question? I want to ask, what level is Tian Zhen? How dare she compare with Zhang Chen? Zhang Chen is winning glory for the country and filming a promotional advertisement for the World Cup. If she has the ability, she should go too.

@0: The truth of the matter is, the organizer confirmed with her that morning, and she said she couldn't make it. But when she arrived, the organizer had already made arrangements, so she rushed to the scene.

@白月光的小鱼儿℃: In other words, she thought she had arrived at the scene and the award was hers? But she watched helplessly as the eagle took it away. Haha.

@希望美满: Comparing with Zhang Chen? What can she compare with? If there is no award for Zhang Chen at an award ceremony in China, everyone will question the fairness of the award. But there are several female singers who are as good as Tian Zhen. Would she dare not attend like Zhang Chen did?
@看书太快由于失微笑: Ultimately, the organizers did not dare to make a fuss about Zhang Chen’s award, but the other awards became a tool for them to divide the cake among the other singers. If you want to have a piece of this cake, you have to be there to support them.

@My mom didn’t hit me for three days: This incident also let us know that only singers who were present at the event will get awards. Next time, we can just look at who showed up and we don’t need to watch the award ceremony afterwards.

As soon as this post was published on Tianya, it triggered netizens' opinions on this matter, and some supported Tian Zhen's boycott of the organizer's behavior.

Some people think that Eagle is shameless and stole the award from Tian Zhen.

I also felt that Tian Zhen was deliberately causing trouble for the organizers.

There are many different opinions.

However, most netizens still support Tian Zhen, and think that the organizer's practice of giving awards only to those who show up is unfair.

As for Zhang Chen’s award?

Everyone thought there was nothing wrong.

Who dares to discredit Zhang Chen's award? If there is no award for Zhang Chen at any domestic award ceremony this year, everyone will pull the organizer to take a good look at Zhang Chen's album dominating the charts.

Not to mention that everyone witnessed and participated in Zhang Chen's Billboard chart-topping event in the United States, as well as his glorious achievement of winning 12 out of 7 Grammy nominations not long ago.

This has made the people's admiration for Zhang Chen reach an almost fanatical level, and no one in the country believes that Zhang Chen cannot win domestic awards.

Regardless of the public's reaction, Tian Zhen was definitely affected.

First, DJs from major music radio stations gave Tian Zhen’s songs the “cold treatment”.

Secondly, the "Top Ten Golden Songs" award that had originally been awarded to Tian Zhen was also taken back.

"Tian Zhen is so cool."

There are too few entertainment activities nowadays. If you want to have fun, you can only go to entertainment venues like karaoke bars, or find netizens to chat with on the Internet.

Today is Labor Day. Liu Yifei, who doesn't want to chat with Zhang Chen through an Internet cable, brings Yao Beina to Zhang Chen's newly built courtyard for vacation.

"Didn't you ask me to help the organizers scold her before?"

Zhang Chen held Xiaohua, who had moved into the new home, and planned to let it adapt to the new environment.

"You promised to let me raise Xiaohua, but you didn't keep your promise!" Liu Yifei looked at the chubby Xiaohua she had raised, snoring comfortably in Zhang Chen's arms, and felt a little jealous.

But she was just complaining because her mother was usually not at home and she had to go to school, so she had no time to take care of the kitten.

Now that Sun Fangping has retired to the second line, she can often stay at home to grow flowers and feed fish, so the right to clean up Xiaohua's poop has naturally been handed over to Zhang Chen's family.

Seeing that the change of custody rights was a foregone conclusion, Liu Yifei no longer worried about it. At worst, she could just come over more often.

"That was the past. Now I think what Tian Zhen said is right. It's too unfair to give prizes just for showing up." Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose in indignation.

"What if the sponsor requires the organizer to have all the winning singers present?"

“Then change the sponsor!”

"What if one day, most of the singers can't come to the awards ceremony because of something else? What will we do then?"

"Then keep all these awards."

"Then let me ask you, what about the ratings? Without ratings, why would sponsors pay?"

"This"

Seeing that Liu Yifei was speechless after being asked, Zhang Chen also began to stare at the goldfish in the pond in a daze.

What's the problem with this matter?
If it is an award like the Grammy, all singers look forward to the award ceremony, and they will try their best to arrange their schedules every year in order to participate in a musician's grand ceremony.

What about domestic awards?
There is no award that is recognized as the most authoritative by many singers. This year alone, Zhang Chen has received no less than ten music award ceremonies.

It is either a ranking list or some music list. The names are varied and the awards are also unique. The most important thing is that it has little to do with the song itself, but more to highlight the honorary title of the singer himself.

For example, outstanding xx, best xx, best xx of the millennium
What new awards to add will depend entirely on which singers are present on the day. If there are not enough awards, we will make them up on the spot.

The organizers of these awards are all more powerful than each other, making it difficult to figure out which one is the legitimate one.

How can singers reserve their schedules? Do they have nothing to do all year round but attend award ceremonies?
Why are these awards organized like this? Isn’t it to attract more singers, to make their award ceremonies full of stars, and to make themselves the most authoritative award.

Another thing that must be mentioned is that awards require sponsorship, and sponsors also need to use the fame of celebrities to promote their products. This is one of the reasons why there are so many award ceremonies.

"What about Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards? Are you going?" Liu Yifei thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she decided to give up thinking and chose to change the topic to continue killing time.

"Do you know the qualifications for winning the Golden Melody Awards?" Zhang Chen felt it necessary to give Xiao Liu some knowledge about the Golden Melody Awards.

"Ah? I need to be qualified?" Liu Yifei was confused. She really didn't know. "Isn't it enough to just sing Chinese songs?"

“First of all, the singer’s album must be released first in Taiwan.” Zhang Chen raised his index finger.

"Second, you need to actively sign up." Zhang Chen raised his second finger.

"First release? As I recall, none of your albums have ever been first released in Taiwan?" Liu Yifei pointed her index finger at her chin, and carefully recalled the order in which Zhang Chen released his Chinese albums each time.

It seems that Zhang Chen's albums have always been released in the order of mainland China, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian countries. "Yes, so." Zhang Chen held Xiaohua's armpits with both hands and lifted it up to the sky, "I am not eligible for the Golden Melody Award."

In fact, ever since a little-known singer defeated a number of big names such as Zhang Xueyou and won the Golden Melody Album Award last year, the Golden Melody Awards have not been questioned. Instead, they have been regarded as the conscience of the industry and do not distribute awards based on the singer's status.

Therefore, the number of singers participating in the Golden Melody Awards this year has surpassed that of last year, and there is a momentum that it will become a benchmark for music awards.

But Zhang Chen knew that this momentum would not last long.

Not to mention that the Golden Melody Awards was born in the small place of Taiwan. The market itself determines the limitations of this award. Also, because there is a group of people who like to stir up trouble, they often use some awards as a stage for clowns, so the decline of this award is also due to external factors.

Then there is the so-called fairness. Perhaps in the next few years they will be more restrained in order to maintain fairness, but in the future it will be revealed that a certain agent threatened that the Golden Melody Awards can only give the award to his own singers.

Since then, the Golden Melody Awards have been completely despised by all singers and have lost their former glory.

"Brother Chenchen, how about we hold an award?"

That’s why we say children are so smart! Student Liu immediately came up with a solution.

"Do you want me to retire early?" Zhang Chen flicked Liu Yifei in annoyance.

"It hurts a lot. I found that my forehead is more bulging than when I was a child." Liu Yifei pouted and covered her forehead.

"That's a mosquito bite. Don't try to put the blame on me."

"Then why would I ask you to retire? I didn't even say anything, but you hit me!" Liu Yifei argued and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

“If someone organizes an award and all the winners are his, what do you think other people will think of him?”

"It's definitely a conspiracy!" Liu Yifei blurted out without even thinking.

"so?"

"So, I can only wait until I retire to do it?" Liu Yifei also figured out the problem.

"There must be a way."

"any solution?"

"Not ready yet."

Zhang Chen didn't plan to continue talking about this headache-inducing topic. He stood up, let Xiaohua go, turned around, waved at Liu Yifei, and said:
"Come on, I'll take you to have some fun."

"Is this what you call 'fun'?" Liu Yifei looked at the scene in front of her with shock on her face.

She followed Zhang Chen with great anticipation, wondering if there was any surprise waiting for her.

As a result, this is it?
Liu Yifei fell silent as she looked at the dazzling array of musical instruments in front of her.

"Of course. For us musicians, these are just fun, right?" Zhang Chen said as if it was a matter of course.

"Ah, I don't want it~" Liu Yifei wailed, "I came here to vacation, not to practice more."

"Musicians don't have any holidays, roll up!" Zhang Chen pushed Liu Yifei into the music room.

"But I did some early morning exercises."

"I asked you to practice new songs, not basic skills." Zhang Chen was rummaging through the music score on his desk.

"Have you written a new song for me again?" Speaking of new songs, Liu Yifei is no longer sleepy. Which song of her brother Chenchen is not a hit?

This year, Liu Yifei realized how powerful her brother Chenchen was, allowing her to win several important singing awards at the age of 15 among many singers.

Now I heard Zhang Chen say that there is another new song, and he asked her to practice it, so it must be written for her.

"No, I don't have time to write new songs recently." Zhang Chen took a music score and slapped it on Liu Yifei's hand.

"Didn't someone say your song is too childish? This time, practice this song well and give her a slap in the face."

"But I'm not suitable for singing love songs, am I?"

In Liu Yifei's opinion, songs that are not for young people are love songs.

"Who told you it's a love song? Is there nothing else in your mind except love?" Zhang Chen picked up the notebook and slapped Xiao Liu, whose head was full of unhealthy thoughts.

"If it's not a love song, what else could it be?" Liu Yifei muttered.

She initially thought that Zhang Chen had a surprise for her, but it turned out that he wanted her to practice singing.

She thought Zhang Chen had written a new song for her, but it turned out to be an old song.

She just thought it was a love song that Zhang Chen specially selected for her to cover, but it turned out not to be a love song.

"Look, this is the title of the song. Have you looked carefully?" Zhang Chen pointed to the big words on the score.

"'Flag of Victory'?" Liu Yifei looked confused.

"The Chinese version of Wavin Flag. Do you understand it now?"

I don’t know how Liu Yifei learned music theory. Can’t she tell which song it is by looking at the notes in the score?
"Do I also have to shoot a World Cup promotional video?" After listening to Zhang Chen's explanation and carefully comparing the tunes of the two songs, Liu Yifei was pleasantly surprised to find that it was indeed the same song.

“It’s hard to say about the promo video, but after practicing well, maybe I can get on a bigger stage.”

After all, he didn't know whether the football team in this life could qualify as usual.
