This star just wants to learn

Pu Tong was the last person to know that he was nominated for the Juno Award.

After the nominations for this international award were announced last night, the domestic Internet was in chaos when seeing the only Chinese name on the list...

The Juno Award was established in the 1970s by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. It is awarded annually to honor outstanding talents and works in the international music industry.

This is the first time that a Chinese name has appeared in the nomination list of this international music award, and this person is Pu Tong, who has been shining internationally some time ago.

While being shocked, everyone felt that it was natural. If only one singer in China could stand on the podium, it could only be Pu Tong.

After all, only he has gone to the world, and only his works can be heard by the world...

The Juno Award is still a certain distance away from the Grammy Award. At present, the Grammy Award is still the most valuable award in the world, but the Juno Award is also equally authoritative and influential. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first after the Grammy Award.

The Juno Awards are decided by the members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of Canada. Although the Academy of Arts and Sciences belongs to the country, its members come from all over the world. Therefore, winning the Juno Awards means that it has been recognized by industry insiders, and the winning works are usually of guaranteed quality.

In addition, the Juno Awards cover a wide range of music types, including pop, rap, rock, country, classical, jazz, gospel, etc.; there are also tracks for relatively niche music types, such as classical music; there are even awards specifically set up for arrangers and recording engineers. Of course, these parts that determine the quality of music are not taken seriously by the public.

Pu Tong received six nominations for the Juno Awards this time, namely the Best Single of the Year, the Most Popular Award of the Year, the Best Solo Artist Award, the Best Pop Music Award, the Best Songwriter Award and the Best Newcomer Award.

Pu Tong's strength is unquestionable as he can appear six times in a nomination list at the same time, but it is not unique to receive multiple nominations at the same time. Many international singers who have peaked at the beginning of their debut have done it.

For example, Charlie Brown in the Five Hostiles received five Grammy nominations at the same time with his absolute strength in his first year of debut.

However, speaking objectively, it is relatively easy to be nominated for awards in one's own country. There are still few foreign singers like Pu Tong who have received multiple nominations.

After all, cultural differences and contempt chains exist objectively. If it is not for absolute strength, it is difficult for artists from other regions to be recognized.

The Juno Award is okay. Pu Tong is very sure that no matter how good his work is, it will be difficult to win the Grammy. After all, he has offended others...

But it doesn't matter. He is not very enthusiastic about these awards. When he heard that he received six nominations, he was not happier than getting full marks in the exam.

For him, these honors obtained by directly transferring works do not belong to him completely, so he has never aimed at these things.

He really doesn't need this award, but the country really needs an authoritative and fair music award, instead of only one Chinese Golden Melody Award when others ask.

To truly have one's own place in the international music scene, it is necessary to be recognized. Therefore, when Pu Tong was nominated for six Juno Awards, the country was boiling.

Even if the nomination only has the possibility of winning, not actually winning, all those who know the Chinese music scene are still as happy as a child.

It is not certain whether Pu Tong can win the award, but when his name appears on the nomination list, it is already a big step for the Chinese music scene.

Any award has regional differences. Pu Tong can make the international music scene abandon prejudices, which was impossible in the past.

And the possibility of winning is very high, isn't it?

These are six nominations, and the probability of winning at least one award is quite high. If he is a runner-up for six times, it would be a bit incredible. Even if he takes a step back, the Best Newcomer Award should be a foregone conclusion...

In the past year, are there other new singers who can be compared with Pu Tong?

In March this year, he released his first English song as a creator, which topped the charts for 23 consecutive days and had over 100 million views.

In July, two songs with only a few lines attracted the attention of netizens all over the world, and the topic volume and key words exploded directly.

In August, the first original solo song "Runaway" was released, which directly set off a new hip-hop storm and has been ranked first on the hot list until now.

With such a brilliant record, it is really unreasonable not to win an award, unless the organizing committee is really blind...

Everyone is looking forward to the Juno Awards ceremony next week, and wants to witness Pu Tong go on stage to hold the trophy they dream of, but what they don’t know is that Pu Tong, as the person involved, doesn’t even plan to go to the scene.

"Such a big award, is it appropriate for you not to go to the scene to receive it in person?"

Yu Wanwan and others were a little bit unbelievable when they heard it. If it were them, let alone getting nominated and winning, even if they received an invitation to be a pendant, they would go there happily.

After all, there are not many opportunities to attend international occasions, and this is also a good opportunity for exposure.

Who would have thought that Pu Tong, who was nominated for six awards and had a high chance of winning, didn't even plan to go in person...

"We have a monthly exam next week."

Pu Tong stretched, "You know, every exam in the third year of high school is crucial, how can I be absent?"

"Didn't you get admitted?"

Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth with hatred. That was an international award. She was chasing the goal in her life and was willing to make every effort for it. But in the end, this guy didn't even plan to go, and the reason was so lame.

"Then we have to take the exam..."

It can only be said that if the school of Huai Lin No. 1 Middle School knew that they were refusing to attend the international stage due to their exams, they would probably have to change the exam time overnight.

This kid is too weird. Isn't such an important occasion more important than an exam?

"If you don't want to go, don't go."

Iori Yukino still understood that exams and everything were just excuses. Based on her understanding of Pu Tong, this guy didn't want to go at all.

At his core, he is a person who doesn't like to appear in public. He was forced to do so at the last cultural festival. This time he was asked to take the initiative to go to the scene. He would definitely be unhappy.

What's more, he was the only one invited on this trip, and he didn't even have a companion this time. It's strange that Pu Tong was willing to go through the trouble alone.

Seeing that he was really unwilling to let go, Lin Yuxi looked at Yu Wanwan beside him as if asking for help.

"Quickly, think of a way."

Yu Wanwan smiled and did not analyze the Juno Award from the perspective of importance or pros and cons. She knew Pu Tong very well, and if she wanted him to go, she would have to give him a real reason to be interested.

"This time, Charlie and the five others will all attend... Are you sure you don't want to go?"
