China Entertainment 2000

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, guests and even the camera, Zhou Yi, who always had a smile on his face, gave Sun Yanzi and Cheng Hao a high-five and hugged his parents before leaving. seat--

As he strutted with his head held high, his slender body looked particularly tall against the backdrop of the theater lights.

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi."

Zhu Xun, who was standing here tonight as the representative of the CCTV host, personally handed a trophy shaped like a satellite to the man's hand and expressed his heartfelt congratulations.

The other two hosts, David Wu and Ke Lan, also applauded him.

"Thank you, Sister Zhu Xun."

Taking advantage of the situation, he stood in the position where Zhu Xun and Ke Lan moved out of the way. Zhou Yi, who was holding the trophy in one hand and tilting the microphone upwards with the other, lowered his head slightly——

"Thank you to CCTV, thank you to ChannelV, and thank you to Sister Zhu Xun for awarding me this award."

After thanking the organizers including CCTV as usual, Zhou Yi pursed his lips and looked at the big names in the music industry in the audience. He felt somewhat strange in his heart: "Of course, I also want to thank my fans and friends for their support of me. Thank you for your support and love.”

Although he wanted to be flirty, considering that this was his first time on this occasion, Zhou Yi still resisted the desire to talk flirtatiously in his heart.

In the CCTV territory at the beginning of the millennium, he, a newcomer, still had to be more serious, and there were still many leaders sitting in the audience.

On the other hand, his fans who bought tickets to enter the stadium were as happy as anything in the audience, especially after seeing Zhou Yi holding up the trophy and waving to them, the cheers were even louder.

This is Zhou Yi's first award since his debut.

Nineteen years old, in the traditional concept of contemporary Chinese people, he is still a teenager at this age.

Become famous at a young age.

Zhou Yi stood in the light with a bright smile and a high-spirited look. Even those in the Hong Kong circle would give a thumbs up and say "You are handsome".

A high-spirited young man.

The CCTV leaders in the audience were also very satisfied.

Look at this figure, this temperament, this face, who said that the mainland is not as good as Hong Kong and Taiwan?

A large part of the reason why CCTV created this mainland pop award is because the Hong Kong and Taiwan awards are too strong and there are hidden unspoken rules of not accepting or discriminating against mainland singers.

It has been held for six times before. Although the winners may seem to be enjoying themselves, the Haolai Award is also a mainland award and can give mainland singers a warm comfort.

The emergence of Zhou Yi has exponentially increased the gold content of mainland singers in this year's seventh annual list.

After coming off the stage with the trophy, he played with it for his parents who were already smiling from ear to ear. Then Zhou Yi sat down again and looked at Zhu Xun and Ke Lan on the stage announcing the second most popular song. The winner of the Song Award - Cai Yilin from Baodao.

It's just that she didn't have Zhou Yi's super standard treatment of setting the tone with a series of opening words. She simply said her name, followed by the third award-winning song.

After awarding the most popular song awards to three consecutive songs, the two winners except Zhou Yi walked backstage to start performing.

"Strange, why don't you prepare for the performance?"

Seeing the lights dimmed, Cai Yilin, wrapped in a big blue cotton-padded jacket, performed her award-winning sweet song on the stage. Cheng Hao, who felt strange, whispered into Zhou Yi's ear and asked.

"Qian Jiang told me that my performance was not in the opening, but in the middle part, together with Wang Lihong and Xie Tingfeng."

Through the darkness, Zhou Yi vaguely pointed at the two groups of people not far from him.

Cheng Hao suddenly understood.

One of them is a representative singer from Baodao, and the other is a representative singer from Xiangjiang. They haven't performed yet, so Zhou Yi naturally can't play his trump card too early.

"How many prizes do you have tonight?"

"I don't know. I can definitely win the Most Popular Song Award and the Best Newcomer Award. There is also the Mainland's Best Singer-Songwriter Award that no one can win except me."

Zhou Yi counted on his fingers, covered his mouth with his hands and whispered: "The only variable is that theoretically, it should be the award originally intended for Sun Nan."

As he spoke, he still cast his eyes on Sun Nan, who was sitting not far in front of him.

Hearing this, Cheng Hao was surprised: "You can get so many? This is your first time participating, right?"

Given the culture of ranking based on seniority in the Mainland, isn't Zhou Yi's limelight somewhat contrary to common sense?

How many seniors who debuted early in the Mainland are still counting on this award to increase their qualifications?

"Qian Jiang said that he was surprised when he received the notice from the organizing committee. He guessed that Xie Tingfeng's popularity after attending the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year stimulated some people in the mainland who were unhappy with the superior treatment of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I was in the second half of the year The only mainland singer who can compete with her."

Although Sun Nan is strong, he is still old.

Take a look at the male singers released by the younger generation in Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are all in their twenties, and how popular Xie Tingfeng has become.

Sun Nan, an old gangster, would lose his face if he got involved in the mainland, not to mention that he couldn't beat Xie Tingfeng.

All we can do is stay in a quarrel, which is even more embarrassing.

Considering that Zhu Xun specially added an introduction when introducing himself at the beginning, Zhou Yi figured out something about it.

However, whether it is exactly what he thinks depends on how many subsequent awards he can get.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yi's speculation was somewhat accurate.

"Best Newcomer Award: Sun Yanzi."

"Best Newcomer Award: Zhou Yi!"

After sitting in the audience for less than twenty minutes, Zhou Yi heard his name from Zhu Xun's mouth again. What surprised him was that the award guest was actually Sun Nan, the current top brother from Mainland China? ? ?

Isn't he here to receive the award?

Why are you here to present the award?

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi, you did a great job."

"Congratulations, Sun Yanzi."

Sun Nan, who seemed to be approachable, had a smile on his face and personally handed over the male and female best newcomer awards to the two newcomers in front of him.

"Thank you, Brother Sun Nan."

Zhou Yi glanced vaguely at Liu Huan, who was sitting as steady as a rock under the stage, and thanked him.

This is very interesting.

Looking at the previous editions of this award ceremony, even if there were to be awards, it should be seniors like Liu Huan who are no longer on the same track as pop singers.

Sun Nan is in his prime, why did he end up at the awards table this year?

Sun Yanzi, who won the only trophy tonight, didn't know the psychological activities of Zhou Yi and Sun Nan, so he happily said thank you and went backstage to prepare for the performance.

After leaving the stage, Zhou Yi's buttocks were still hot. Not long after Sun Yanzi sang, he heard his name coming from the stage again——

Wu Zongxian and award-winning guests Zhang Yimou and Tang Jili presented him with another award.

"Best Album Video Award: "Love Heaven and Love Earth", Dawn. Congratulations to Dawn!"

"Best Album Video Award: "Hua Tian Cuo", Zhou Yi! Congratulations to Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Yi, who took the trophy from the less wrinkled Lao Mouzi, looked at the crowd of people in the audience and didn't know how to say his speech.

This is CCTV official trying their best to gild him.

Sure enough, after he left the field with his third trophy of the night, about twenty minutes later, he came on stage again.

"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation: Wang Lihong."

"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation: Xie Tingfeng."

"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation - let us congratulate, Zhou Yi!"

In the audience, the fans who didn't know what was going on were shouting like crazy.

Sun Nan, who was applauded by the audience, had a professional fake smile on his face, but secretly gritted his teeth and his eyes were a little dim.

From the moment he knew he was going to be the guest of honor tonight, there was nothing left to chance in his mind. The honor that once belonged to him on the stage no longer belongs exclusively to him.

Asking him to personally award the Newcomer Award to Zhou Yi was the last dignity that the official allowed him to retain, the dignity of a senior.

damn it!

You stole my resources, and now you want to steal my position!

You are only nineteen years old. Why are you so anxious? !

Sun Nan was unwilling to give in, but facing Zhou Yi's surging offensive, he had no ability to resist at all.

I can only walk down from the throne in embarrassment and become a spectator applauding in the audience.

January 17, 2001, 9:30 pm.

The position that once symbolized the top brother in the mainland music scene was officially handed over from Sun Nan to Zhou Yi——

"The Most Popular Male Singer Award in the 7th Global Chinese Music Chart: Zhou Yi!!!"

With the "Zhouyi" album, Zhouyi won five trophies, including most popular song, best new artist, most popular male singer, best album video, and best singer-songwriter. On this night, Zhouyi became the biggest winner and completed The last transformation.

Nineteen-year-old Zhou Yi faced the light, and under the watchful eyes of his parents, Sun Yanzi, Cheng Hao and others, he surpassed Sun Nan, Naying, Tengger, Yu Quan, Pu Shu and others, and officially wore the title of the first brother in the mainland music scene. The crown!
