Chapter 107 The first collision in Fortnight (3) [7k words]

For this year's nominees for Best Composer, losing to "Flower Field" is not such an uncomfortable thing.

In the current era of R\u0026B music, Zhou Yi is the first person to innovatively combine Western R\u0026B and Eastern Peking Opera art to such an extent.

In comparison, whether it is Li Zongsheng, Zhang Yu and others who follow the traditional route, or Jay Chou, whose composition is also full of wild imagination, they are all slightly inferior in innovation.

And this is precisely what the jury of this year’s Golden Melody Awards values ​​most.

"How about Zhou Yi? He won his second Golden Melody trophy after participating in the Golden Melody Awards for the first time. How do you feel about it?"

Wu Zongxian, who was in charge of the field, looked at Zhou Yi who was so proud after winning the trophy, and stood beside the host table with a smile: "If you have any tips for writing songs that you can share with me, you can tell me quietly.

"It's best to tell me quietly that I also want to do the entire album by myself like you. It will save you a lot of trouble when releasing the album."

When the singers and record company executives in the audience heard this, they all showed a knowing smile on their faces.

"Of course."

Zhou Yi, holding the trophy in his hand, pretended to be close to Wu Zongxian. He was speaking in a low voice, but the microphone in his hand was handed to his mouth at some point. The secret of songwriting suddenly spread throughout the venue: "Read more newspapers, eat less snacks." Get more sleep. Seriously, brother Xian, I’m not going to lie to you, this really works.”

"..."

Wu Zongxian, who had never heard such an answer before, could not organize his words at the first time. He instinctively widened his eyes to match Zhou Yi's serious posture of telling lies, which immediately caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.

Stefanie Sun, who does not have any idol baggage, even whistled a few times, grinning widely, and her shining front teeth caught the eye in the camera.

"Um, classmate Xiao Zhou - you haven't graduated yet, so it's okay for me to call you that."

After the laughter in the audience subsided and he coughed twice in embarrassment, Wu Zongxian raised his head slightly and looked at the 1.8-meter-plus man next to him with suspicious eyes: "Seeing as we are very early, Since we’ve known each other before, you shouldn’t lie to me, right?”

"I never lie to anyone. Everyone who knows me knows that. It's a well-known fact."

Zhou Yi shrugged: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Jie Lun, when he asked me to play ball, I didn't arrive on time and never let him go."

"So Jay Lun's song "Bullfighting" in "JAY" was inspired by the fact that the two of you often play ball? I remember in the photo not long ago, you seemed to really like shooting three-pointers."

After all the twists and turns, Wu Zongxian returned to the news of "Twin Stars' Love Affair Revealed" and he laughed so hard that even Jay Chou was teased by him: "So Jay Lun, who is the girlfriend in this song?" ?”

Jay Chou in the audience was obviously a little shy after being cueed. The moment he raised his right hand, he put the back of his hand in front of his mouth and smiled without speaking.

Stefanie Sun, who had been following the commotion before, now realized the purpose of Wu Zongxian's "uneasy and kind-hearted" teasing. She sat down in her seat with a smile amidst the sudden earth-shattering screams of the fans in the audience. That's called a lady.

After the scandal between the two Warner Bros. stars came out, even though Jackie Chan and Zhang Ziyi came to attract attention, there were still quite a few fans of the two of them who hated the rumor.

There are even some love fans on the Internet who specialize in capturing "Warner Gemini's sweet past" to prove the authenticity of their relationship.

Thanks to the previous unilateral restrictions on Zhou Yi by Baodao, in some surveillance videos released by Warner, the relationship between Zhou Yi and Stefanie Sun has become a source of self-generated energy for these love fans.

When Zhou Yi's parents in the audience heard Wu Zongxian's teasing, their eyes immediately fell on Stefanie Sun, who suddenly became quiet and quiet under the gaze of everyone.

Then, they saw a middle-aged balding man turning around and looking at them in his seat: "I am Yan Zi's father, Sun Yaohong. You two are Zhou Yi's parents, your son is really amazing..."

In an area not noticed by the camera, Sun Yaohong had his first contact with Zhou Yi's parents.

Amid good-natured laughter, Zhou Yi, who had won the second trophy tonight, stepped down from the stage. The camera followed his footsteps until he was completely seated.

Zhou Yi, who wanted to give the trophy to his parents for safekeeping, turned around and saw his elder brother and Stefanie Sun's father talking about something. They were talking incessantly, so he kept the trophy in his hands without disturbing him. ——

"Let me touch this trophy first."

Stefanie Sun, whose eyes drifted towards her several times, couldn't hold back in the end. She smiled and reached out her hand.

She probably wouldn't have a chance to get her own golden song trophy tonight, but fortunately she could still enjoy touching Zhou Yi's trophy.

"There is a fee."

"For what you charge, isn't it just a trophy? I also have the Newcomer trophy from the Singapore Golden Melody Awards."

Stefanie Sun, who took the trophy from Zhou Yi and weighed it carefully several times, pretended to be disdainful and said: "You didn't."

"I can't say who took advantage of playing at home."

Seeing Stefanie Sun using her own level of self-deception, Zhou Yi laughed mercilessly.

Stefanie Sun, whose spiritual victory method was quite effective, didn't bother to reply to him. Instead, after playing with the trophy for a while, she stuffed it back into Zhou Yi's hand: "It's boring, just give it to you like that."

"..."

I thank you.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes cryptically: "If you want to get it, you can get it for me. I have six nominations, so I should be involved next time."

"...How many trophies do you think you can win in the end?"

Seeing that the performance started again on the stage, after the lights dimmed, Stefanie Sun tilted her head back and whispered in Zhou Yi's ear: "Why do I feel that you have a great advantage? I won't really let you do it." Wholesale?"

"Don't tell me, I can't figure out the context of this year's Golden Melody Awards jury."

Zhou Yi shook his head gently, with a rare hint of uncertainty in his tone. He was nominated twice in a row, which he had not thought of beforehand.

Is it possible that his album is more in line with the taste of this jury?

At the same time, Jay Chou, who missed two nominations in a row, looked a little disappointed after the joke, and his good partner Fang Wenshan who was sitting next to him became nervous——

"Jie Lun, shouldn't we be able to win even a single nomination?"

Seeing that the shortlist for the Best Lyricist Award was already displayed on the stage, Fang Wenshan, who saw his name, also sat up straight, crossed his fingers with his hands in front of his lips, took several deep breaths in succession, and said.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yi and Stefanie Sun who were sitting not far away.

Zhou Yi is still nominated for the Best Lyrics Award this time.

You can't hit three in a row, right?

How optimistic are you about him at the Golden Melody Awards?

"It's hard to say, but Ah Yi's shortlisted work for best lyrics is "Give Me Time for a Song."" Jay Chou, who has always been extremely confident in music, inevitably felt a little frustrated after losing two trophies in a row.

To be honest, he personally likes this song.

Zhou Yi also gave him a lot of inspiration in the processing of this song.

Fang Wenshan's lyrics for "The Lady" are certainly amazing, but if he were to be the judge, he would still prefer Zhou Yi.

Not to mention that there are three strong opponents for the Best Lyricist Award——

"The Book of Laughter and Forgetting" written by Lin Xi is from Faye Wong's album "Fable";

"Sad Romance", written by Na Young herself, is from the album "Sad Romance";

"Twelfth Floor", written by Li Zongsheng, is from Karen Mok's album "Mok Wenwei on the Twelfth Floor".

"How about it, do you think you can still get it?"

The moment she saw the finalists, Stefanie Sun, who was holding the Zhouyi Best Composition Award trophy in her hand, turned her head and joked: "I think you have great hopes, just follow the way the Golden Melody Award was given."

"Honestly, I don't know, but I do want to get it."

Zhou Yi shook his head.

In his mind, the winner of this year's Golden Melody Award for Best Lyricist should be "Sad Romance" written by Naying herself.

Coupled with the golden song queen, the two heavyweight golden trophies are the foundation for Naying to occupy the position of the eldest sister in the music world and no one can shake it.

She was able to completely leave behind Tian Zhen, Sun Yue and others in terms of status in the music industry only after she won these two heavyweight Golden Melody Awards at this year's Golden Melody Awards.

"The winner of the Best Lyricist Award at the 12th Golden Melody Awards is——"

As if aware of the eager anticipation of Yi, Fang Wenshan, Jay Chou and others on the stage, the other female host in charge of the lottery draw feinted a shot on the stage. After elongating her tone, the camera turned to the audience in an instant——

Jay Chou who was nervous and Wenshan Fang, Stefanie Sun who clutched the Best Composer Award trophy because of nervousness, and Zhou Yi who finally looked less calm;

Naying was already taking deep breaths to adjust her heart rate, which was constantly rising due to nervousness.

Only the old god Li Zongsheng sat comfortably in his position, and he could raise his hands to interact when the camera came, without showing any emotional abnormalities at all.

"Li Zongsheng, "The Twelfth Floor"! Let us congratulate Lao Li!"

The moment the female supporter announced the lottery, "The Twelfth Floor" sung by Karen Mok rang out. Li Zongsheng, who didn't expect that he could actually win the best lyricist, had a flash of astonishment in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and stood up to hug his friends.

Zhou Yi, who was sitting in his seat, felt inexplicably relieved. When he saw Li Zongsheng walking towards him, he stood up while applauding, smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Li Zongsheng smiled and patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder, and then after shaking hands with Naying, Fang Wenshan and others one by one, he went on stage to receive the trophy.

The lights on the stage shone on this leader of the Chinese music scene in the past era, illuminating the white hair on his temples: "To be honest, I was really surprised to win this award. Last year, I heard about Zhou Yi, Jay Chou and others. When it came to the music of the new generation of musicians, I told Hua Jian that our era might be coming to an end."

As he said this, he smiled happily and said, "Thanks to the Golden Melody Award for allowing Xiao Li and me to survive a little longer, thank you."

The humble speech was in line with Li Zongsheng's consistent style. Zhou Yi, who had little contact with Li Zongsheng, applauded sincerely.

"It seems that your next best arrangement is a bit dangerous. If I remember correctly, your finalist for best arrangement is "Hate the Dream of Red Mansions", right?"

Watching Li Zongsheng walk off the stage after receiving the award, Stefanie Sun speculated in a low voice: "Will the jury not give you a single award in the future?"

Logically speaking, for a newcomer to participate in the Golden Melody Awards for the first time, it is already very good to win two out of six nominations. After all, other singers are not cabbages and can be manipulated by Zhou Yi.

But after experiencing two nominations and two wins at the beginning, Stefanie Sun couldn't help but have her expectations raised.

"It's hard to say. In the final analysis, the Golden Melody Awards review team is composed of people. As people, it is inevitable that they will have conflicts of ideas."

The idea of ​​winning all the Golden Melody Awards came to nothing. Although he had been prepared for this, when the fact came, Zhou Yi still felt a little regretful.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yi's feeling was right.

In the competition for the Best Arranger Award, he lost again, losing to Zhang Yadong, who was also born in the Mainland, and lost to "Chanel" arranged by him.

This conceptual song is one of Faye Wong's concept albums "Fable", which was shortlisted for this year's Golden Melody Award.

"So far, two out of four nominations, you still have the last two nominations."

Stefanie Sun clasped her fingers and analyzed Zhou Yi carefully: "The Best Pop Music Vocal Album Award and the Best Album Producer Award.

"Considering your personal strength in album production, I think you are very likely to win them all. But for these two awards, the one who competes with you the most is probably Jay Chou."

As a singer with some creative ability but not much, Stefanie Sun quickly found Zhou Yi's biggest rival in these two awards -

Coincidentally, Jay Chou, who had been defeated in all previous trophy competitions, also set his sights in the direction of Zhou Yi.

If there was any local male singer-songwriter in Baodao who could pose a threat to Zhou Yi in awards last year, it was none other than Jay Chou.

The host Wu Zongxian who returned to the stage obviously understood this truth. After a lively atmosphere on the stage, he did not rush to invite the award presenters to come out to present the awards. Instead, he smiled and interviewed the people who were shortlisted for the Best Album Producer Award——

Brothers Lee Sa-song and Lee Weesong helped Na-young produce the album "Sad Romance".

There are also Zhang Yadong, Faye Wong and Alvin Leong who jointly produced the album "Fable", and Li Zongsheng who helped Karen Mok produce the album "Mok on the Twelfth Floor";

And - Jay Chou from "JAY", Zhou Yi from "The Book of Changes".

The first few people are all veterans of the music industry, and they all speak tactfully. Only Jay Chou, a newbie in the music scene, although his words are modest, it is clear that he really wants to be recognized by the award.

All I can say is that it’s really cute.

When the award presenter was invited out by Wu Zongxian, the spirits of the nominees were also shaken——

Luo Dayou, Wu Bai.

A real heavyweight.

This also illustrates the importance that the Golden Melody Awards attaches to these two awards.

"I'm very happy. In the past year, a large number of excellent albums and album producers have emerged in the Chinese music scene. Especially young people like Zhou Yi, Jie Lun, and Leehom."

As a godfather-level figure in the Chinese music scene, Luo Dayou's voice sounded familiar to Zhou Yi as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wu Bai, who was in charge of answering, looked down at the unopened list of winners in his hand and rubbed his hands expectantly: "I can only say that it is really difficult to choose. Fortunately, I am not a judge.

"Otherwise, with so many outstanding musicians and albums, it would be a headache just to pick out the shortlist."

Wu Bai, who is very talented as a comedian, laughed strangely twice and commented on the Golden Melody Award judges in a joking tone. Several young musicians who were named were immediately taken care of by the camera——

Jay Chou, who rarely wears a suit and leather shoes, is obviously still a little nervous and has not yet recovered emotionally;

Leehom Wang, who has returned from overseas and is an elite actor, made a YES gesture to the camera very openly, even though he did not get the only Golden Singer nomination tonight.

As for the Book of Changes...

He was still talking to Stefanie Sun when the camera panned over. The two of them were leaning close to each other and whispering, which caused the fans who came to watch this award ceremony to scream louder than ever. .

"It seems that stories about talented men and beautiful women are more popular, 1+1\u003e2." Wu Zongxian, who was in charge of controlling the field, became interested. He estimated the time of the award ceremony in his mind and joked about the fact that the fans' voice was obviously overshadowed by the Warner Twins. Jay Chou and Leehom Wang.

Knowing that tonight's joke would be difficult to pass, Stefanie had no choice but to bar her teeth and say nothing, trying to get by with a cute smile.

"Brother Xian, please don't mess around with me. I'm still a young lady."

Zhou Yi, who refuted this set of remarks with a smile, once again made the whole audience burst into laughter. This novel title of a yellow flower girl was a bit unbearable.

"Okay, then, my yellow-flowered male student, do you think you still have a chance to win the trophy tonight?"

Wu Zongxian, who is a variety artist, really loves Zhou Yi's casual jokes. It would be great if his own company's Jay Chou could talk like this.

“Personally, I definitely hope to have as many trophies as possible, after all, I don’t have many trophies in the honor room now.

"If I weren't afraid of breaking the law, I would even want to rush into the trophy display room of the Golden Melody Awards Organizing Committee on the spot and take all the trophies in it for myself."

When Zhou Yi said this, there was a hint of teasing between his brows: "I can't help it. I studied my professional courses so well that I suppressed this idea. Thank you to my alma mater, Peking University."

Beside him, Stefanie Sun, who still couldn't hold back, once laughed like a goose. She had no idol baggage at all.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi could only shrug helplessly: "Understand, her smile point may be low."

Everyone has been ridiculed to this extent. Stefanie Sun simply broke the pot. After Zhou Yi said this to her, she raised her hand and patted his arm. She stood up and grabbed the microphone in his hand to protest: "Correction Everyone, I don’t usually laugh like this, but I just couldn’t help it today.”

Zhou Yi, who had his microphone taken away, could only pretend to be innocent when facing the camera.

"This guy is interesting. Warner Wheatfield seems to be contacting you. Have you never seen him in the mainland?"

Faye Wong, who was sitting on the seat, turned her elbow to Zhang Yadong beside her and said curiously.

"No, I have only been to Warner Wheatfield once and have never seen him."

Zhang Yadong, who is also known as a mainland music genius, looked at the Warner twins with great interest: "Are they really fake? Why is Wu Zongxian still involved in this scandal?"

Faye Wong pursed her lips in the direction of Naying who was not far away: "Who knows, there is no accurate news at the moment. Maybe you can ask Na Ying, she has almost finished negotiating the contract with Chen Zeshan from Warner. "

"Then forget it. There's no need. This guy's previous scandals were all over the place. He doesn't seem to be a peaceful man."

Zhang Yadong smiled and shook his head, and turned his attention to Wu Zongxian who regained control of the field.

After the joking interview, Luo Dayou opened the first envelope in his hand——

"The winner of the Best Album Producer Award at the 12th Golden Melody Awards is: Zhou Yi!"

After Luo Dayou's slightly hoarse voice, Wu Bai added loudly: "Congratulations to Zhou Yi!"

As the classic track "Happy Worship" from the "Book of Changes" album played at the scene, Jay Chou's eyes were full of anticipation, and there was a bit of bitterness in his eyes, but he still raised his hands to applaud, giving a heartfelt tribute to Zhou Yi who won the award. Congratulations.

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi, for completing the production of an entire album by yourself. You really don't give other teams a chance to make big money."

The talkative Wu Bai did not forget to joke with a smile after handing the trophy to Zhou Yi.

As an original singer, he knows best how many teams need to work together to produce an excellent album.

It is extremely rare for a person like Zhou Yi to take the lead and all other teams to be just tools under his ideological command. This is also the reason why he was able to win the Best Album Producer Award.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you to the official Golden Melody Awards for recognizing me, and thank you to everyone who encouraged me when I was making the album last year. I will continue to work hard."

The radiant Zhou Yi raised the trophy in his hand with joy on his face.

"Three out of five, I'm convinced."

After returning to the stage, Stefanie Sun gave a thumbs up to Zhou Yi who returned, with an envious look on her face: "You are really here to wholesale."

"low profile."

Zhou Yi, who never expected that he could win three trophies before coming here, was so happy this time: "The next Best Pop Vocal Album Award should go to Jay Chou. After all, he is a native of Baodao and has golden songs. The judges of the awards should still take care of the locals, just like the Singapore Golden Melody Awards take care of you."

In his memory, the only golden song trophy that the fledgling Jay Chou won this year was precisely the final award for Best Pop Vocal Album.

Three out of six nominations, this record is extremely impressive not only for newcomers, but also for veterans in the music industry.

"But his album is not as popular as yours, right? And the songs in your album are more difficult and innovative than his "JAY"." Stefanie Sun did not agree with this view: "Originally, the officials of this Golden Melody Award must ensure the maximum Only by being fair and just to the maximum extent will it not cause big controversy. I think your album is better than his "JAY".

"No one can compare to it in terms of innovation, and it only loses to Faye Wong's "Fable" in terms of conceptual connotation."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "No, no, no, you don't understand. The Golden Melody Award gave me three awards. It's enough. After all, its name is Baodao Golden Melody Award.

"If you don't believe it, how about we make a bet. If you win, I will promise you a request. If you lose, you will promise me a request."

"OK."

Stefanie Sun, who was aroused to be competitive, immediately agreed: "Let's bet, whoever is afraid of whom, I think you will lose. There was such a big disturbance before banning you, they will never ignore the innovation and popularity of your album sex."

Zhou Yi curled his lips noncommittally: "We'll see."

Soon after the performance, when Luo Dayou opened the envelope of the winner list for the Best Pop Vocal Album Award, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face——

"Wow, I don't think there has ever been such a crazy scene tonight in the entire history of the Golden Melody Awards."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yi in the audience suddenly looked startled——

?

"That's right, before this, I never thought that a newcomer who debuted on the Golden Melody Awards stage would leave a unique and profound mark on this stage."

Wu Bai, who also opened the winning envelope, ruffled his long hair a few times and exclaimed: "If someone had said this to me yesterday, I would have definitely thought he was crazy."

The last light in Jay Chou's eyes in the audience also dimmed. Fang Wenshan pursed his lips and hesitated to speak. The comforting words reached his lips but he still couldn't say them out. He could only pat him on the shoulder helplessly. : "It's okay Jay Lun, we can just start the album again this year."

In the audience, the fans holding Zhou Yi's nameplates seemed to have smelled something and began to chant Zhou Yi's name——

"Book of Changes! Book of Changes! Book of Changes!..."

Stefanie Sun, who couldn't hide her excitement, instantly clutched Zhou Yi's burgundy suit jacket, staring nervously at Luo Dayou and Wu Bai on the stage, and kept reminding the men around her: "Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi, you are going to lose to me. Got it!"

His heart was beating faster and faster than expected. It felt a little impossible. The tip of Zhou Yi's tongue passed over his slightly dry lips, and his eyes were also unbelievable.

"The winner of the 12th Golden Melody Awards for Best Pop Vocal Album is——"

Luo Dayou slammed the envelope in his hand on the stage, and with a broken voice, he shouted with rare passion: "Zhouyi!"

Wu Bai, who already had a loud soprano, showed off the momentum of a rock and roll shouting match and stretched out his hand in the direction of Yi on stage: "Congratulations to Zhou Yi!"

The lights in the entire venue dimmed in an instant, and only the brightest light shone on Zhou Yi.

With the cheers and applause of the fans in the audience, Zhou Yi stood up slowly and turned his head to take a look. Stefanie Sun, who was applauding, tilted her head and gave him a wink. She stuck out her tongue slightly and then mouthed at him: I won.

To be honest, it feels a bit dreamy.

Even though his mentality was as stable as Zhou Yi's, he never thought that he would be able to win four golden song trophies tonight.

He felt that he could temporarily withdraw his previous comments about the Golden Melody Award.

In excitement, Zhou Yi took three steps and then two steps, without even walking up the steps. He climbed onto the stage in one stride. After taking the trophy with both hands, he immediately raised it high and faced the audience. Seat——

"Book of Changes! Book of Changes! Book of Changes!"

As tonight's biggest award was awarded, passionate music also sounded, and fans chanted his name in unison, as if they were welcoming a new king to the throne in front of the old king Luo Dayou——

The smile on Zhou Yi's face was as bright as ever.

Tonight's Golden Melody Awards contain so much gold that even the Grammys can't compare to it!

The King of Heaven is here, and tonight’s Golden Melody Awards will be even better!

Ps: More than seven thousand two hundred words!

The number of words this time can’t be considered too small!
