Chapter 537 Liu Yifei's Golden Melody Award, the New "Big Devil" Arrives

Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

An award that Zhang Chen doesn't think highly of, but which plays a vital role in Chinese music, and is even considered to be the most valuable award in China.

This award has actually only been around for a few years.

When Zhang Chen debuted, this award was not very famous.

But after Zhang Chen won numerous award ceremonies in mainland China, the Golden Melody Awards won the crown of singer awards in the Chinese-speaking region with its extremely high music appreciation and relatively fair attitude towards new and old singers.

Nowadays, the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards has become an indispensable award for many Chinese singers on their path to growth.

"It's really different from an award ceremony for actors."

Liu Yifei walked onto the red carpet and looked at the surrounding furnishings and atmosphere that were different from usual, feeling a little emotional.

"Sissi, you've even participated in the Grammy Awards, so you should be familiar with music awards, right?"

Lin Yoona held Liu Yifei's arm, and the two appeared in front of many media wearing different styles but equally grand dresses.

On the other side, it was Choi Sooyoung who was equally grand.

The three of them appeared on the red carpet of this year's 18th Golden Melody Awards as a "group".

"I've seen a lot, but this is the first time I've attended as a singer," Liu Yifei stood in the middle of the red carpet, waving at the media on both sides who were frantically taking pictures of them, and explained to Lin Yuna beside her, "This should be the second time, right?"

The second time indeed.

It was her first time attending an awards ceremony as a singer, and it was from her earlier album "Children's Songs".

It was also on this album that Zhang Chen wrote many nursery rhymes and included a song called "Song of Paradise Island".

This album won Liu Yifei the "Most Popular Award" in an online vote.

It was also this album that earned Liu Yifei the nickname "Queen of Children's Songs".

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic smile when she was being photographed by reporters.

"Hey, Yifei?"

A voice with a different tone from others and a very personal voice interrupted Liu Yifei's thoughts.

"Xiao Zhou?"

Liu Yifei is obviously a few years younger than Zhou Jielun, but she has gotten used to being called that by Zhang Chen.

So when I saw Jay Chou for the first time, I shouted out subconsciously.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that we could meet at the singer awards ceremony." Jay Chou stroked his deliberately grown beard and looked at Liu Yifei with a smile on his face, "I thought that after I became an actor, we would be able to meet at the film festival."

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Yifei smiled and shook hands with Jay Chou. "Do you think I'm not qualified to achieve anything as a singer?"

"How could I do that? How dare I!" Jay Chou waved his hands frantically, looking embarrassed. "If you don't have the qualifications, there are not many Chinese singers who dare to say they have the qualifications."

In this world, perhaps only Jay Chou himself is not qualified to comment on other singers' singing skills.

He himself is not good at singing.

While he is still young, he is using a voice-damaging singing method to sing in a way that other singers would not try.

I don’t know how far I can go in the future.

It is his creative talent that enables him to gain a foothold in this circle.

If there were no Zhang Chen, Jay Chou might be the most eye-catching creative genius in the Chinese music scene, right?

The two were reminiscing about the past in the front, while Yoona and Choi Sooyoung were following behind.

As they walked along the red carpet, singers passing by made way for them.

This scene is similar to the one when Zhang Chen attended the award ceremony.

"Sissi!"

A surprised voice passed through the crowd and accurately reached the ears of Liu Yifei who was chatting with Zhou Jielun.

She looked around and finally saw the girl at the end of the red carpet, waving her hands high.

"Shaohan!"

Liu Yifei also imitated Zhang Shaohan and waved towards this side.

But both of them were wearing dresses that made it difficult to move around, so they couldn't get there right away.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm going over first." Liu Yifei lifted her skirt and said goodbye to Jay Chou, "I'll go first."

"Oh well."

Zhou Jielun looked at Liu Yifei who left quickly before he finished speaking, and could only put down his hand awkwardly.

However, looking at Liu Yifei's back, he was lost in thought for a long time.

"Liu Yifei is participating in the Golden Melody Awards," Jay Chou muttered to himself, "It's really beyond my expectation."

"What did you expect?"

Jay Chou was startled by a hand that suddenly appeared behind him.

Turning around, I saw JJ Lin, whose signature dimples appeared when he smiled.

"JJ?" Jay Chou patted his chest exaggeratedly and let out a long sigh, "Yifei was here just now, did you see it?"

"I saw it." Lin Junjie looked at Liu Yifei who had already run far away, and said with some envy at her back, "I knew this day would come."

"How to say?"

Jay Chou knew that JJ Lin was signed to Morning Glory Records.

If we talk about her understanding of Liu Yifei, she should know more than him, an outsider.

"You don't know the situation in our company." Lin Junjie said with emotion, "In fact, when it comes to practicing martial arts, it's not us employees who work the hardest, but the boss."

"There's one more." Lin Junjie pointed at Liu Yifei who had already met up with Zhang Shaohan and said, "That's Yifei."

"Oh?" Jay Chou also looked at the distance in surprise.

"At first I just thought Yifei was just a hobby." Lin Junjie said with a smile, "But under the influence of our boss, it's hard not to make progress, right?"

"Brother Chen," Jay Chou nodded in agreement, "Learning from Brother Chen, even a pig can learn to sing, right?"

"Okay!" Lin Junjie said jokingly, "You dare to say Yifei is a pig?! You're done!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Jay Chou denied it flatly, "I never said that."

Then, he quickly changed the subject: "Since Yifei is here to attend the Golden Melody Awards, what about Brother Chen?"

When Lin Junjie heard Jay Chou mention his boss, he returned to his serious tone: "He probably won't come, right?"

Jay Chou was stunned and asked in confusion: "But the most popular album this year should be Chen Ge's "Love", right?"

The songs awarded at the Golden Melody Awards are all from albums released one year before the awards ceremony.

Zhang Chen's "Love" won a Grammy Award this year.

Similarly, you are also eligible to register for this year's Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

This album won the four most prestigious Grammy Awards: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Single of the Year.

He also won "Best Male Pop Singer" and "Best Pop Album", two of the most coveted awards for pop singers.

If Zhang Chen brings this album to the Golden Melody Awards
Jay Chou immediately wanted to pack up and go home.

"Have you figured it out?" Lin Junjie smiled awkwardly.

"Yeah," Jay Chou said with a look of fear, "Luckily Brother Chen doesn't want to compete with us juniors, otherwise we would be runners-up at every award ceremony."

"The only two awards we have a chance to compete for are the 'Best Taiwanese Female Singer' and 'Best Mandarin Female Singer' awards at the Golden Melody Awards."

"Yeah, yeah." Jay Chou agreed.

Zhang Chen’s nickname of “Big Devil” in the music world is not just talk.

If other singers were faced with a "cake-dividing" situation, they would just grit their teeth and endure it.

Besides, if the difference in songs is not too big, there is really no guarantee that you will definitely win more awards. But Zhang Chen is different.

As long as he feels that he is qualified and the organizer does not give him the award, he will definitely criticize the award organizer.

If it's a small singer, there are plenty of awards and favors at major award ceremonies.

But if it was Zhang Chen, they had tried to deal with him before.

But without exception, they were all severely punished by Zhang Chen afterwards.

Now?

Now, unless you are mentally ill, you would not provoke Zhang Chen.

Especially the Golden Melody Awards.

The current Golden Melody Awards is also a singer award ceremony that is more recognized by Morning Glory Records because many singers from the company participate.

Therefore, the Golden Melody Awards basically invites Morning Glory Entertainment to be the sponsor of the award ceremony.

Offending the financial sponsor?

Only someone with a problem in their brain would do this.

However, the Golden Melody Awards does not favor singers from the Chenguang Entertainment Group just because its financial backer is Chenguang Entertainment.

This is also one of the main reasons why other singers think that the Golden Melody Awards are fairer than other award ceremonies.

Even last year, the singers of Morning Glory Records did not win any prizes.

But this year's Golden Melody Awards sponsor is still Morning Glory Entertainment.

In this regard, the actions of the Morning Glory Group and the Golden Melody Awards have made all singers in the Chinese music scene look up to them.

One side sticks to its original intention and only looks at the song, not the person.

One party does not make use of the identity of the financial sponsor and does not do any tricks behind the scenes.

The tacit cooperation between the two parties has led to more and more Chinese singers participating in the Golden Melody Awards.

This year, Liu Yifei also participated.
"What do you think?" Zhang Huimei whispered to Jolin Tsai beside her, "Will Liu Yifei take all the Golden Melody Awards this year?"

"That shouldn't be the case?" Cai Yilin frowned and thought for a moment before shaking her head. "Morning Light Group hasn't organized an award for its own singers just because it's a sponsor in recent years."

"But she is Liu Yifei."

"Liu Yifei," Cai Yilin repeated the name several times, a hint of uneasiness on his face, "It's really possible."

It turns out that there are no secrets in this circle.

Liu Yifei's identity can be investigated as long as you have some connections in this circle.

On the surface, Liu Yifei is Zhang Chen's childhood sweetheart and the daughter of Liu Xiaoli, a veteran artist of Chenguang Entertainment.

She is also the only "sister" that Zhang Chen publicly acknowledges in this world.

But secretly, everyone in the circle actually knows that Liu Yifei’s identity is not that simple.

She is also Zhang Chen's girlfriend.

Yes, any artist who has some connections in the circle can find out this news.

But as long as Zhang Chen didn't make it public, they didn't dare to tell anyone.

This information is only known to people within the circle.

As for why Zhang Chen did not restrict the spread of the news, any smart person can understand it.

It's simply telling everyone in the circle not to have any bad thoughts towards Liu Yifei.

Some people had moved it before, but without exception, it disappeared.

It's not about disappearing from this circle.

Instead, it disappeared from this world.

Thinking of the news she learned from a certain channel and the experience of the female model, Cai Yilin shuddered fiercely: "Don't think about it. All we can do is pray that the Golden Melody Awards will continue to stick to its original intention."

"But." Zhang Huimei wanted to say something, but after seeing the frightened expression on Cai Yilin's face, she seemed to have thought of something and could only nod unwillingly, "I understand."

She looked at Liu Yifei, who was like a star surrounded by people in the distance, and the envy on her face became more and more intense.

But if you look at it for a long time, you will get an illusion.

There was an illusion that there was a shadow towering into the clouds behind Liu Yifei.

Zhang Huimei shook her head fiercely and drove the figure out of her mind.

At the same time, the thought that just popped up in my mind disappeared.

The man behind this man
She can't afford it!

I can only pray that the Golden Melody Awards can continue to be fair as Cai Yilin said just now..
There was nothing they could do except pray in their hearts.

And even if the Morning Glory Group doesn't do anything, Liu Yifei's album, which was released not long ago, is also a hot favorite for the Golden Melody Awards.

Now it has been half a month since the release of the album "Not Yet Lovers".

In the past half month, the Chinese music scene seemed to have experienced an earthquake.

The effect caused by this "earthquake" is even more severe than when Zhang Chen first debuted.

At the time, Zhang Chen's earliest album only caused a sensation within China.

After all, Zhang Chen had just made his debut at that time and did not have much fame worldwide.

Just like a normal singer, he reached the top of the world step by step.

If you remember correctly, Zhang Chen's album "Youth" only sold less than 200 million copies a year.

This was already a very exaggerated number in the music scene at that time.

At that time, Brother Qi, who had stepped on the Four Heavenly Kings, was pinned down by Zhang Chen and could not move.

But what about Liu Yifei’s album?

"Not Yet Lovers" was released half a month ago, and the digital album sales volume is 389!
The physical album sales are even more exaggerated, reaching 531 million!
Combined album sales of nearly 10 million!
The recent Chinese singers are all numb.

If the owner of this album was Zhang Chen, they would not be surprised at all, and would even think that the number was too low.

But this person is Liu Yifei!
A complete "newcomer" in the music industry!
Although Liu Yifei released an album very early on, everyone still regards her as a newcomer in the music industry.

After all, Liu Yifei’s real fame was due to four TV series and the Harry Potter movie series.

How could this artist, who is more of an actor than a singer, not be shocked by the fact that he achieved results that even Zhang Chen had not achieved when he officially released his first album?

But after the shock, there is only deep helplessness.

There is no way, Liu Yifei’s foundation is too strong.

She is the leading actress in four hit TV series in the era of Chinese TV dramas, and one of the leading actors in the highest-grossing movie IP "Harry Potter".

He is now one of the leading actors in the movie "La La Land", which is striving to become the world's number one box office hit.

Because of Zhang Chen's relationship, he frequently appeared on the main board of the world media.

Some time ago, I didn't know
Well, actually, everyone was not surprised at all when they saw that Liu Yifei’s single "After I Leave" was authorized by "La La Land".

Who made Liu Yifei Zhang Chen's person?

This "Zhang Chen's people" is several orders of magnitude more valuable than the "Zhang Chen's people" of the Chen Guang artists.

A clip from a movie with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide was released as the MV for the single, which directly attracted a large number of fans to buy the single.

It can be said that Liu Yifei has maximized her advantages.

So with the current outrageous results, everyone is shocked and helpless at the same time.

"Welcome everyone to attend the 18th Golden Melody Awards"
