Start with a pop song

Chapter 230: Domineering; three awards; "Yellow River"; the shock brought by "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"
2027 1 Month 1 Day.

in the afternoon.

Half past three.

The entrance of the Monte-Carlo Sporting Club is already full of stars.

In another time and space, Song Dao had never paid attention to the World Music Awards. Anyway, in this world, the last time it was held was more than ten years ago.

It's really a coincidence that I can catch this time.

Here, Song Dao saw many "familiar faces".

As a music student in this world, the original owner also has memories of many top Western musicians and singers.

For Song Dao, when he saw these people, the feeling of "dream linkage" between the two time and space became more obvious!

As a finalist, Song Dao received an invitation letter and was allowed to bring one companion with him.

Yan Yu, as the powerful princess of Linchuan Group, obtained the invitation letter through other channels.

However, Song Dao could take Lin Fei to walk the red carpet, while Yan Yu could only follow the aisle and enter the VIP viewing area.

The queen has no interest in walking the red carpet, and she would refuse even if asked to.

Lin Fei is dressed very beautifully today.

It is a Xia Yun haute couture dress named "Mo Yu Jing Hong".

The theme is: The divine beauty in the dark night of the East.

This was urgently produced by Xiayun Group after they learned that the two were about to participate in the World Music Awards, with slight modifications to the original design.

Slim-fitting fishtail long skirt with a black tulle cape on the shoulders and gradient dark green cloud embroidery from the side waist to the hem.

It's like ink stains when walking.

The Chinese-style stand-up collar is as high as the chin, and the edge of the collar is inlaid with half a centimeter wide gold wire flowers, with an icy jadeite dragon buckle in the center.

The sleeves are three-quarter wide, and the cuffs are lined with dark red silk. When the hand is raised, a line of vermilion is revealed, as if "the world is hidden in the sleeves".

The back of the cloak is embroidered with hundreds of crane feathers in silver thread, with miniature crystals on the tips of the feathers, which look like falling stars under the light.

The inside of the skirt is hidden with traditional Chinese ink-and-wash landscape paintings, outlined with gold thread, which appear and disappear with every step.

This dress is made of kesi brocade with extremely high warp and weft density, and a subtle metallic luster in its matte texture.

The cloak's tulle is made using the Xiangyunsha technique, dyed to create misty gray-ink layers.

Lin Fei had her hair in a high bun, with a white jade hairpin carved from a phoenix tail and a single South Sea gold bead dangling from the end of the hairpin.

The earrings are asymmetrical in design: a black agate drop hangs from the left ear, and a gold-set jade earring is worn on the right ear.

With her cool and aloof makeup, the queen's aura was fully released. The moment she appeared, the camera flashes of countless foreign media instantly became one.

Many people couldn't help but exclaim: What a beautiful oriental beauty!

Song Dao, who was also wearing a haute couture summer dress, stood next to Lin Fei.

His hair was combed back and his temples were shaved very short.

As he looked around, his eyes were like stars, shining brightly.

The two of them stood together, one soft and one hard, like a swimming dragon and a startled phoenix.

It not only displays the traditional oriental elements of Xiaguo, but also gives people an extremely fashionable feeling.

When issuing press releases, many celebrity artist teams always like to use the word “outstanding” to describe their work.

But it will probably give people a sense of exaggeration.

When Song Dao and Lin Fei appeared on the stage, the images were transmitted back to China through the CCTV delayed live broadcast.

The live broadcast of this award ceremony has had a viewership rating of over 12 for the arts channel. The vast majority of viewers, while being amazed, truly felt that absolutely beautiful feeling of "overwhelm"!

The reactions of foreign media also confirm this.

The accompanying reporter looked at the camera excitedly.

"Now on stage are our Song Dao and Lin Fei. Their looks today are like flying dragons and startling phoenixes, with a strong Xia country style and atmosphere, conveying the mysterious oriental beauty to the whole world..."

"Song Dao and Lin Fei are the type who don't like to walk slowly on the red carpet, but today they made an exception!"

"It's not that they want to go slower, but the media from all over the world are too enthusiastic..."

"Now, please follow our camera. After the two have signed autographs and accepted a short interview, we will enter the main venue together to experience this feast that brings together the world's top musicians!"

Netizens who watched the live broadcast through online channels were extremely excited.

In recent years, with the continuous strengthening of national strength, Xia Kingdom’s military status and international voice have basically been elevated to the level of “two poles”.

In most sports events, the superpower's "dominant" status is also demonstrated.

But in the field of literature and art, there is still room for improvement.

Especially for this kind of top global music award, which has not been held for many years, the "Eastern faces" of this year are actually sending a signal.

——The once proud Westerners have begun to try to make friends with the University of Tokyo in this way.

"In the final analysis, it's because our own internal awards in Xia Country are not up to par. A top young musician like Song Dao has failed to win any of the highest-level music awards in our country. We don't even believe in this kind of credibility, so how can we expect outsiders to believe in it?"

"Jing Ting Music was established too recently. I hope we can organize our own music awards next year. Isn't the overseas version of Jing Ting Music also very popular? Then, musicians from all over the world will flock to our awards and feel proud to win them!"

"The World Music Awards haven't been held for more than a decade. The fact that they invited Song Dao for the third time this time shows their sincerity. If Song Dao can really win the award, it means that our music has completely gone abroad!"

"Lin Fei and Song Dao look so beautiful. I've never seen Song Dao dress up so seriously. It's true, there are no ugly men, only lazy men!"

"There are no ugly men in front, only lazy men. It's really the opposite of Tiangang. Is it too ugly?"

"Song Dao is certainly not ugly, but today's styling is indeed unprecedentedly attentive."

"Of course we have to be attentive and let those foreign devils broaden their horizons!"

……

on site.

After Song Dao and Lin Fei signed on the autograph board, they faced a large number of media from various countries and very politely accepted brief interviews from the on-site host and a few media outlets.

When asked whether he could win the award, Song Dao said that regardless of whether he could win the award or not, he was very grateful for the jury's attention.

Then a BBC reporter asked in English: "According to the information we checked, you are the first Chinese to be nominated for the Best Single and Best New Artist at the World Music Awards. Do you feel particularly honored? Do you have anything to say about this?"

Song Dao understood and first said in Xia language: "First of all, I would like to thank the World Music Awards jury for their recognition.

I do feel honored.

But what I want to say more is that first of all, I am here to add color to the World Music Awards!
Secondly, Xia State has many excellent musicians and has produced many world-class musical works from ancient times to the present.

There were many people who were qualified before me, but perhaps the World Music Awards at that time did not have this jury, especially Mr. Lanci’s eyes that are good at discovering beauty. "

Yes, you were too arrogant and blind before, and only paid attention to people of the same color who matched your values.

It’s the same with you now. You are not very willing, but you have no choice!

After finishing speaking, he answered again in fluent English.

The reporter's eyes lit up as he pressed on, "Are you trying to say that the World Music Awards needs you to increase its influence?

And the previous World Music Awards were unfair, right?

I heard that you just encountered an unfair incident in your country, and even announced your withdrawal from the music awards in your country because of it? "

It can be seen that the TV station, which is an expert in making trouble and telling lies in both time and space, came well prepared.

Song Dao replied calmly in English: "For your first question, my answer is yes!

Behind me is the Xia country market with a population of more than one billion.

The single for which I was nominated has the most plays in the world based on the time of its release.

A cliff-like lead!

Regarding the fairness of the World Music Awards in the past, I have never participated in it and I don't know about it.

You said that, I didn't say that.

Of course, many things are legal in the Western world, such as the public relations of certain award ceremonies.

But in our Xia country, this behavior is called bribery.

is illegal.

Like you said, some bad things did happen at one of our music awards events some time ago.

However, the relevant responsible persons have been transferred to judicial authorities.

What awaits them will be severe punishment by law."

Song Dao said, and then continued: "But as far as this World Music Awards is concerned, I still feel very good, because before this, I didn't even know that I would be nominated.

So whether or not it wins an award, I am willing to believe in its purity and artistry.

At the same time, I also believe that after me, there will be more Asian faces appearing on the stage of this kind of global awards ceremony.

In the future, there will be a large number of outstanding musicians from all over the world appearing on the stage of the Xiaguo Music Awards.”

Seeing that Song was not fooled, the reporter explained the matter clearly in just a few words without avoiding the family scandal.

He also behaved extremely domineeringly and confidently.

He immediately revealed a bitter smile: "Handsome and outstanding oriental boy, I like your confidence, I wish you can win the grand prize tonight!"

Lin Fei held Song Dao's arm, and a faint smile that she couldn't control appeared on her cold and distant face.

It has to be my teacher Song, so domineering!
The West of this time and space is, in many ways, particularly like the Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty from that world.

Even though he is no longer able to do it, he still wants to maintain his former glory and dignity.

He certainly couldn't do it, but he didn't want to give in easily.

However, the young people of this generation, who have grown up along with the national strength of the Song Dynasty, will never indulge their bad habits.

If you have to fight, fight.

——I was invited here, but I came here to add to the topic and heat for you. Not only do I have more than one billion people paying attention to me, but there are also countless people in your Western world who are waiting to see me!

When Song said this, it was broadcast live to domestic audiences via the XTV Central Television Station, attracting countless cheers.

"Fuck, Brother Gou is so domineering!"

"I am honored to be invited by you, but you also need to increase your influence through me!"

"That's how it should be. Being recognized by them is a good thing, but just like our domestic music awards, an award ceremony without Song Dao is incomplete and has no credibility!"

"How popular has "In the Name of the Father" become in the West? To be honest, the jury of the World Music Awards was indeed fair, but they only gave us the honor that should have belonged to us. Thank you, but that's all!"

"Did you see that? Brother Gou said that in the future, countless Western musicians will aspire to win music awards in Xia Country. Does this mean that there will also be awards for quiet music?"

"Song Dao's reaction was really cool, neither humble nor overbearing, full of dominance. Look at the expression of the reporter behind him, it's so funny!"

"In the past, many stupid directors always liked to film our country's suffering and then go to the West to win awards. Those countries that are declining in the west also like that. They fool their own people in the end, and even fool themselves. What we lack most is Song's kind. We should criticize it when we should, and not indulge its bad habits!"

"Speaking of which, the Xiaguo Music Awards a while ago were really embarrassing! It was only because Song was so smart and not afraid of offending people that he dared to face the problem. If it were someone else, he might have been really embarrassed by others."

"I plan to stay up late to watch the award ceremony. I sincerely hope that Teacher Song can win awards in succession at this ceremony!"

……

After answering the reporters' questions, Song Dao brought Lin Fei to the scene under the guidance of the staff.

The seats for two people are in the middle area of the first row.

When the two came over, they finally saw Lanqi, the chairman of this jury.

A little old man with silver hair but in good spirits.

When he saw the two of them, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

He took the initiative to open his arms and hug Song Dao.

"Dear Song, I'm finally meeting you. I've prepared the piano for you as promised. Where's your king of musical instruments?"

Lanqi then shook hands with Lin Fei very gentlemanly.

Do they both like cuddling?
Maybe.

But they are not brainless idiots, and they know how to respect each other's habits.

It’s just that sometimes, we are too humble, even a little modest, and take the initiative to “respect” the other person’s habits.

After a long time, people will naturally get used to it.

Song Dao smiled and said, "I've asked my assistant to bring it in. He's waiting for me backstage."

Lanqi was surprised: "Oh, what a surprise, I am really looking forward to it!"

For this suona piece, Song Dao specially asked the masters of the National Folk Music Orchestra to record an accompaniment before coming.

A formal version was also recorded.

It will be released through Listen Music after the World Music Awards.

After hearing this suona music, all the masters of folk music were stunned.

Simply put, this is the “First Suona Song”.

For countries with different languages, cultures and civilizations, arts, culture and sports are the easiest to resonate with.

Needless to say, our athletes who can win world championships have a large number of fans all over the world.

The same is true for music in literature and art.

When it comes to good music, people all over the world have similar aesthetic tastes.

Just like Zhao Zhao, who played music full of Xia classical style on the piano, a group of upper-class people in the Western world were also fascinated by it.

At this time, a group of reporters accompanying the CCTV were silently filming the scene of Song Dao and Lan Qi chatting and laughing.

Deep down, everyone felt particularly excited.

It’s like being in the Olympic Games, seeing our athletes standing on the diving platform, in front of the ping-pong table... ready to win medals.

In fact, what really excited these people was what Song Dao said during the interview.

So confident.

The mood of these people is almost the same as those of netizens online.

Soon, the award ceremony officially began.

Two famous hosts came on stage, accompanied by warm applause from the audience. They first imitated the Xia Guo crosstalk way of reading out the names of dishes, and then talked about today's guests in a joking manner.

When talking about Song Dao, the beautiful and sexy female host used many flattering words -

"He is a world-class pianist and composer! This year, he came to the rescue of pianist Zhao Zhao, who is also from Xia Country, and played an unforgettable piano piece."

"Oh, he's so handsome!"

"The woman next to him is also amazing. She is a queen-level singer from Xia Country with more than one billion fans."

"His pop music is loved by young people all over the world, and some even affectionately call him... the mysterious Eastern father!"

“He’s been nominated for three awards!”

"He is Song Dao from Xia Country!"

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Yan Yu was sitting in the VIP area, not far from Song Dao and Lin Fei, looking at Song Dao with bright eyes.

Haha, foreign woman, even if you praise your dog to the sky, he will not be interested in you!
Many celebrities from all walks of life around her who were from all over the world also looked at Song Dao with curiosity as he stood up and turned around to greet her.

Many people were still whispering.

“I went to see that concert live, it was amazing!”

"I was busy at the time and couldn't go, which was a pity. I hope he can hold a solo concert, and I will definitely go!"

"He seems to be focusing more on pop songs."

"Will he hold a concert? I want to see it!"

The host on the stage took a few minutes to introduce the nominated guests.

The award ceremony officially begins.

The first awards to be presented are the regional awards.

This award is actually very important, as it is an international recognition of regional music culture.

Before Song arrived, several musicians from the Xia country had already won this honor.

Before this, according to the judgment of the Xia country media, they all thought that Song Dao had the greatest chance of winning this award.

As for the two core awards, Best Single and Best New Artist, everyone remains cautiously optimistic.

I think it’s great to be nominated.

It's like a world-class sporting event, where it seems like the one who wins the gold medal is the coolest.

But in fact, being able to enter the final round already means being among the top few or top ten in the world.

It's amazing.

really.

After the awards for Best Artist and Best Sales Artist in each state were presented and the winners sang their winning songs, we finally arrived in Asia.

All the nominated singers from various Asian countries became nervous.

In the public opinion environment of Xia Country, of course, people think that Song Dao will definitely win this award.

But to the media and netizens of Fuso and the beautiful adopted son Xiaohan's family, who are also good at music, the artists in their family are also the best!
Award winning!

Must win award!

However, apart from the TV stations cooperating with the organizer, the only one that can broadcast live on such occasions is the University of Tokyo.

If people from other Asian countries want to watch the live broadcast, they can only log on to the online channel of Xiaguo Literature and Art Channel.

Therefore, the number of people online at the Arts and Literature Channel online station has exceeded 30 million.

This number really scared the person in charge.

After the previous lag, we learned our lesson this time and signed a short-term server rental agreement with Linchuan Group in advance.

This problem can be solved through Linchuan’s powerful server.

There are also various languages in the comment section.

With an AI assistant, communication is not a problem.

It was always fine before, and netizens from various Asian countries were relatively harmonious with each other.

But when the awards for Asia's "Best Artist" and "Best Sales Artist" were about to be announced, netizens from all over the world suddenly started arguing.

When it comes to talking nonsense, netizens from the University of Tokyo have never been convinced by anyone.

——Our mother is responsible for the use of force to intimidate them, and I am responsible for scolding them to death!
However, no matter how noisy this group of people is, it will not affect the winning results on the spot.

The first award for best-selling artist was given to a group from the family of Da Piaoliang's godson.

This is a girl group that has been popular for more than a decade. The album they released in recent years has sold like hot cakes.

However, judging purely by the number of views, it is definitely not as good as "In the Name of the Father".

The gap between the two sides is even huge.

But the development of Todai is too fast.

It's all online music, and few people buy traditional old stuff like CDs, records, or even tapes.

So this group took advantage of me.

Several pretty girls with high-tech faces stood on the stage, tears streaming down their faces with excitement.

After receiving the award, she gave a wow-wow speech, wearing leggings and a miniskirt, providing a visual feast for everyone.

To be honest, it looks pretty good!
Teacher Song clapped gently to show his approval.

The Queen sister approached him gently and whispered in his ear: "Like this kind of dance? Yanyan and I can do it too!"

The dog's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wow, you have this ability, and I didn't know it before? !
After a few young Korean girls left the stage, the host invited the next award presenter.

When the name was called, there was a low exclamation from the audience.

One of the two award presenters is a legendary female singer-songwriter from Japan. She has been in retirement for many years, but when she was at the peak of her popularity, she had considerable influence around the world.

There are also many fans of hers in Xia Country.

The key is another one.

Fang Tianlong!
Song Dao was very surprised that they actually invited Brother Long!

There was also an uproar on the Internet at this time.

Netizens in Xia Country were naturally extremely happy.

Because Fang Tianlong came to the scene, Song Dao was almost certain to win the award!

Winning the first game has already met our psychological expectations.

Fang Tianlong and the female singer from Fuso Hall went on stage together, and the two seemed to know each other.

Although this female singer is not young anymore, one can still tell that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

That's no problem.

Among the contemporary beauties in the Asian entertainment industry, there are few who are not familiar with Brother Long.

The nominated singers from Asia appeared on the big screen, and a short video of several dozen seconds briefly introduced each person and his song.

When the MV of "In the Name of the Father" appeared, there was even cheers from the audience.

The accompanying reporters and several staff members of the CCTV could not help but cheer as well.

The legendary female singer of Fuso casually opened the envelope and said in the gentle tone of Fuso language: "The winner is a young male singer whom I like very much. I have heard almost every one of his songs and can sing most of them!"

As she spoke, the elder sister actually said something in Xia Yu: "I like you very much!"

Then he handed the letter to Fang Tianlong.

Fang Tianlong took it and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

With a smile on his face, he said directly in Xia Yu: "Miyuki has just said that she likes the winner very much. Now I want to tell Miyuki that the young man you like is my brother!"

As he said this, he looked in the direction of Song Dao below the stage.

"The winner of Asia's Best Artist is... Song Dao! Congratulations!"

Then he repeated it again in English, quickly and passionately.

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

In fact, before this, Western media's speculation about the winner of this World Music Award almost all concluded that Song Dao would most likely win this regional award.

If Song Dao had not won the award, there would have been no need for the jury chairman Lanqi to invite him three times in a row.

What the fuck are the differences between Eastern and Western values?

Regardless of one's values, playing tricks on others is unacceptable.

Amid the warm applause from the audience, Song Daoxian turned around and saluted very formally with his fists.

Then he opened his arms and gave a big hug to Lin Fei who also stood up.

It was also transmitted to countless viewers through live cameras.

Lin Fei, who was always cold and aloof, couldn't hide the excited smile on her exquisite and beautiful face at this moment.

Song Dao took a deep breath and walked towards the stage with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, full of energy and spirit.

At this moment, many people noticed that a piano that was originally blocked by a curtain at the edge of the stage had now appeared.

Some people who knew Lanqi's promise to Song Qi began to show more expectant expressions on their faces.

Especially the few people at the scene who had heard Song Dao save Zhao Zhao’s concert were even more excited.

Song Dao came to the stage.

First, I gave Brother Long a tight hug.

"You didn't make any movement at all. What a surprise!"

Brother Long laughed and said, "Congratulations, brother. You should teach these foreigners a good lesson!"

Afterwards, Song Dao planned to shake hands with the Fuso teacher in front of him... uh, no, the legendary singer-songwriter from Fuso.

I didn’t expect that the elder sister would actually open her arms.

Song Dao could only give her a brief hug.

"I like your work, and I like you as a person even more. I hope we can be friends!" The elder sister smiled and looked very happy.

He also spoke Xia language, and was surprisingly fluent.

"Thank you." Song Dao was very polite.

Then he took the trophy from Fang Tianlong, which was written in Chinese and English and read "Asia's Best Artist".

When he came to the microphone, his handsome and ascetic face had a very calm expression.

Completely different from the girls who burst into tears just now in Xiao Han.

Said in Xia language: "Your choice is correct!"

The on-site translator also translated this sentence into English in a timely manner, and the audience burst into applause.

The members of the Xiao Han girl group who had just won the award were still immersed in the excitement of winning the grand prize.

After seeing Song Dao come on stage, everyone stared at him intently.

After hearing those domineering words, two girls blushed.

This Xiaguo Oppa is so handsome!
So fascinating!

I'll have to ask for contact information later.

They clapped hard.

After saying this, Song Dao walked directly to the piano placed next to the stage.

Put the trophy aside and sit down calmly.

Leaving a super handsome side profile to everyone at the scene and in front of the screen.

At this time, in the online comment section of Xiaguo, countless Xiaguo netizens were already excited.

"Did you see that? What is high quality? What... what the fuck is high quality? My dog brother, at an award ceremony that focuses on pop music, Xiao Han's little sister showed her thighs and sang to me, but my dog brother played piano music!"

"Brother Song Dao looks so handsome today. I love him so much!"

"Come on, Brother Gou, let them feel the piano skills of our Xia country!"

"My acceptance speech was just one sentence: Your choice was the right one. Hahahaha, that's awesome!"

"Look at the scene, the goddess in the red dress is here too!"

Some sharp-eyed netizens even discovered Yan Yu's whereabouts.

"The girls from the Xiao Han family who just won the award looked at Brother Gou with a look of disgust in their eyes!"

"What's a little girl? I can do anything, okay? Haven't you seen a singer of Fuso Hall of Fame? That big sister actively asked for a hug?"

"What do you mean by awesome? At the World Music Awards, a piano was specially prepared for Song Dao and he was invited to play!"

on site.

When the stage lights dimmed, Song Dao adjusted his breathing.

The body is slightly leaning forward, with slender fingers hovering above the keys, like two cranes ready to fly.

The relief on the dome of the hall below the stage disappeared in the shadows, leaving only a beam of silver light between him and the Steinway.

The scene was quiet.

When the first note fell, the air seemed to freeze.

The introduction to the fourth movement of the Yellow River Concerto burst out from his fingertips - the octaves in his left hand were like thunder rolling over the clouds, while the chords in his right hand were strangely restrained.

Every note rises and falls as precisely as the gears of a clock.

Song Dao concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, the turbid waves of Hukou Waterfall surging on his fingertips!
When the cadenza came, Song Dao's shoulders and back stretched out a beautiful arc, and the octaves poured out with incredible evenness.

But there is no sense of brute force at all.

It was as if the Yellow River had split open its own channel.

There are very few people who can perform at the level of a pianist, but as musicians, there are a lot of people who have the ability to appreciate the piano!

Everyone felt a tremendous power from Song Dao's performance.

This is a new song!

A song that has never appeared in this world!

this moment.

Many people at the scene were excited.

All the people in front of the screen who understand piano music were also excited!

Mr. Lanqi, the chairman of the jury sitting in the center of the front row, was so excited that his face turned red.

His behavior was risky.

Because he gave Song Dao too much freedom!
This world-class music awards ceremony also requires rehearsals.

However, based on his previous understanding of Song Dao, he gave this young man the greatest freedom!
This is the award ceremony hosted by him, and he wants to give the whole world a surprise!
Song Dao's piano level is so high that he doesn't even need rehearsal!
Suona skills also do not require rehearsal. "Why do we have to know in advance what he wants to play? Maybe he will create a piece that has never been published when he is happy?"

He said this in response to some questioning voices.

God is my witness that he really did not have any communication or exchange with Song Dao in advance.

And Song Dao, this young oriental man whom he liked very much, actually gave him a huge surprise!

This is definitely a new song that has never appeared before.

It is full of oriental elements and is also full of that nation's spirit of perseverance and self-improvement.

The epic notes made him feel as if his soul was cleansed.

This is a sound that can only be heard at a concert by a world-class pianist!
So, everyone, thank me!
Song Dao didn't play for too long, about four minutes, and ended at a certain point.

Then he stood up, bowed slightly and expressed his thanks.

The audience instantly erupted into thunderous applause.

It was like a top concert.

It was not polite, courteous applause at all.

The musicians who can appear here have almost the same ability and level.

Even though those girls from the Xiao Han family seem to be more like idols, they also have abilities.

The singing is very clear and beautiful!
The applause continued for several minutes.

It was not until the two hosts realized that they were a little over time that they hurried onto the stage.

Then the applause gradually died down.

The female host looked at Song Dao as he walked off the stage with eyes as bright as water, and said without disguising, "Is this the heavenly sound I should hear at the World Music Awards?"

The male host was also very excited: "That's great, I almost forgot what I was here for."

There was a chuckle from the audience.

The award ceremony then continued.

But Song Dao's playing of this piano piece, whose name no one even knew yet, became an incredible hit in the Western world at an unbelievable speed!
Then many people were surprised to find that this song was included in the music program.

And it is a version collaborated with the National Symphony Orchestra.

Longer time and more momentum!
At the award ceremony, the awards were given out one by one, accompanied by wonderful performances by the award-winning guests.

It’s finally time for the global categories and core awards.

The best artist award gave Xiao Yingzi the role of lead singer of a legendary band.

This singer is also a true legendary singer.

From his debut to now, he has been popular for more than fifty years!

Having been at the forefront of pop music for half a century, this award is well deserved.

The best album was given to a famous female singer from Da Piaoliang's family.

He is also a legendary figure who has been popular for two or three decades.

When it came to the Best New Artist award, the two presenters who came out were the ones who won Best Album and Best Artist.

When many people who hoped that Song Dao would win the award saw this, their hearts sank slightly.

Although Song Dao's competitors looked much worse than Song Dao, they were all white.

In this session, Song is the only candidate in the whole of Asia.

Asian netizens, who had previously been arguing over the regional award - Asia's Best Artist, are now more united.

"I hope Song Dao Oppa wins the award!"

"Song Dao won the award, representing the whole of Asia!"

"Teacher Song Dao's song is worthy of this award."

If it were any other time, I guess netizens in Xia Country would have already started to talk nonsense.

——Song Dao is our family, why are you joining in the fun?

But now, everyone is united.

"That's right, Song Dao deserves the award!"

"Dog brother must win the award!"

"Xiao Han and Xiao Fusang, you are both right!"

The big screen on site played the classic stage scenes of each nominee one by one.

This time the time given was more sufficient, almost one minute per person.

When Song Dao arrived, there were actually many shots of him at Fang Tianlong's concert.

The ability to control the whole audience with just a glance made many people at the scene smile knowingly.

This newcomer, who debuted just one year ago and is the “newest” among all the nominees, hasn’t even held his own concert.

However, such a young man already has a huge influence on the global scale!

Especially in Asian countries, Lien Song himself did not pay much attention to the fact that in this fast-paced era, the number of his fans and influence are actually very large.

Many fans have been calling on him to hold a concert on social media.

After the introductions of the nominees were shown on the big screen, two white male and female singers who had just won the awards quickly opened their envelopes.

The man tore open the envelope, took out the small card inside and handed it to the woman.

The female singer took a look, then covered her mouth with her hands in a somewhat exaggerated manner, looking at the audience with bright eyes.

At this time, the camera turned to several finalists.

The reactions on these people's faces varied.

Some were obviously nervous, while others kept smiling.

Song Dao still looked calm.

For him, winning an award is of course the best, as it can bring him more popularity and more prestige.

Especially this time, there were several things that came out of the system mall, and he was very satisfied with them.

But hey, it’s super expensive!
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t win the award.

Anyway, his base is in Xia Country.

It doesn’t mean that it’s cool only if foreigners like it.

next moment.

The female singer said: "The winner is someone I particularly want to meet, who is known as the mysterious oriental father... Song Dao! Congratulations!"

Even though they had anticipated this result, when Song Dao's name was called out, Lin Fei and Yan Yu's eyes suddenly turned red.

Happy!
Pure joy!
All the grievances suffered at the Xiaguo Music Awards did not disappear because of the subsequent victory in the Fengyun Chart.

It was not until this moment that the feeling that my man is world-class, the best, burst out.

We really don’t need other people’s stamp of approval to be awesome, but this is like the difference between a domestic champion and a world champion.

The latter is always more noticeable.

Accompanied by warm applause from the audience, Song Dao stood up to express his gratitude and then hugged Lin Fei.

Then, in full view of the public, he walked to the VIP area, under the gaze of the audience on site and in front of countless screens.

Hugging Yan Yu happily.

The Internet in Xia Country exploded immediately!
"Fuck!"

"Brother Gou is awesome!"

"No, you can, kid. What do you mean by hugging my wife?"

"Brother Gou really is having an affair with the goddess in the red dress, I told you!"

"World Music Awards, Best Newcomer!"

"You're not pretending anymore, are you? After hugging the diva, you're hugging the goddess in a red dress. You're a little greedy!"

"At this moment, I just want to say that I envy Brother Gou's wonderful life so much!"

"I declare that Brother Song Dao is the biggest winner tonight!"

"I wish I were a goddess in a red dress and was hugged by my brother."

Yan Yu hugged Song Dao for a long time before he whispered, "Congratulations!"

She knew that there were countless cameras facing her at this moment, and she also knew that people from Xia Country were watching.

So I suppressed my inner excitement and didn’t dare to say the prefix - husband.

"I'm afraid this is the last award tonight, so I have to come over and hug you."

Song Dao spoke in Yan Yu's ear.

"Go and receive your award!"

Song Dao then went on stage amid the applause of everyone's blessings.

After hugging the two award presenters, he stood in front of the microphone and said: "Thank you for the recognition of the World Music Awards jury, and thank you Mr. Lanqi for your appreciation of me. I hope that in the future, there will be more singers from Xiaguo on this podium! At the same time, I also hope to see you all at the awards ceremony in Xiaguo in the future! Thank you!"

This time, he didn't perform a show.

Because of that suona piece, it was placed after the Best Male/Female Singer award and performance.

It’s really used to calm the situation!

Lanqi is not stupid either. Although he can't play the suona, he knows how powerful it is.

If Song really played a suona piece in the middle of the song, it would seem that he wouldn't have to sing the rest of the songs.

Just think of it as an easter egg, a surprise for this show.

At this moment.

Lanqi is full of pride deep in his heart.

When Song Dao was interviewed at the signature board, those very "flashy" words had already reached his ears.

But he didn't think the young man was arrogant at all.

That’s what it is!
The first is that the World Music Awards needs faces from the University of Tokyo, which can increase ratings and satisfy sponsors.

Secondly, he personally really admires this young man Song Dao.

Too capable!
Especially his achievements in the field of piano are truly amazing.

If he is willing to be a pianist, this young man who can compose new music independently will definitely become the darling of the Western upper class, surpassing Zhao Zhao, in a few years!

But this young man lives too freely.

He had even heard of Song Dao's classic saying: Music is for playing.

This attitude, which seems to be indifferent but is actually full of relaxation, is what a musician should truly possess and uphold.

Playing music is the most fundamental thing.

Other derived fame, status and wealth are just icing on the cake.

That's why he insisted on giving this global award to Song Dao.

He deserves it!

Song Dao, who has already won two trophies, has now made headlines on major social media platforms in Xia Country.

The popularity is leading by a cliff.

Even though it is already late at night in China, there are still countless people watching on the Internet and in front of their televisions.

The winning Xiamen TV Channel 15 even broke 21 at its peak ratings, reaching !

This somewhat outrageous data just shows how terrible the national popularity of the Song Dynasty is today.

It has never been about how great the World Music Awards are. In fact, before Song Dao was nominated, too many people had only heard of the Grammy Awards but had no idea about this award.

Because of Song Dao, everyone suddenly realized: Oh, there is such a top global music award.

The next award to be presented is the Best Single.

When Song Dao's name was read out again by the award presenter, the scene and the Internet were completely boiling.

Best Single: "In the Name of the Father"

This award is probably the least controversial in people's minds.

Within just a few months of its release, it has been viewed billions of times around the world, become a topic of discussion over tens of billions of times, and has been covered in various languages by countless short video bloggers.

Not to mention this year, even if we go back three to five years, or seven to eight years, no song can have such data.

This time, as soon as Song Dao stood up, Lanqi next to him stood up and gave him a big hug.

"How was it? Were you surprised?"

Song Dao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lanqi. I will invite you to visit our country later!"

"That's really great! Go ahead, this is your stage, handsome boy!"

Song Dao took the stage for the third time.

One award ceremony, won three awards.

Even though the regional awards may seem a bit inferior, if you think about it carefully, they are also "intercontinental level"!
Holding the trophy, standing in front of the microphone.

Song Dao finally felt some emotion.

Three nominations, three awards.

"Once again, I would like to thank the jury, Mr. Lanci, and my fans all over the world. It is your support that has enabled me to win this award."

“I hope that everyone will pay more attention to Xiaguo Music and our outstanding singers.”

"One day, when you learn and understand Xia language, you will know how beautiful the lyrics written in Xia language are!"

“We welcome friends from all over the world to travel to Xia Country, listen to Xia Country music, taste Xia Country food, and feel the enthusiasm of Xia Country people!”

"Finally, I hope that next time, the trophy in my hand can be exchanged for the World's Best Male Singer!"

"Thank you!"

A faint smile appeared on Song Dao's ascetic face.

There was immediate applause from the audience.

No one thought that Song’s last sentence was whimsical.

Being able to win the Best Newcomer award naturally shows that he is a representative of an era.

Winning the Best Male Singer award in the future is not just a dream.

Then some special honorary awards were presented.

For example, the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Diamond Award.

The winner of the former is a world-renowned top musician, and he truly deserves the title.

But in Song Dao's opinion, senior colleagues such as Xie Xiaofeng, Fang Zexi and Tan Lin also have the qualifications!

They also influenced billions of people back then!

Just wait, that day will come.

When the time comes for Xia Country’s music awards ceremony, you will all be scrambling to attend!

Then we will also give these big awards to our senior artists with good reasons.

You have to be convinced!
After the Best Male and Female Singer awards were presented and each performed their classic songs.

The host came on stage and again invited Song Dao up with a long string of compliments.

Let me show you the mysterious king of musical instruments.

Almost everyone present was a musician, so they all knew the power of this instrument.

At this point, all the grand prizes have been awarded. The winners are jubilant, while those who didn’t win are a little disappointed.

But they all maintained their composure and looked at Song Dao on the stage with ease.

Song Dao held the suona with a calm expression.

Looking at the relaxed people in the audience.

Tremble, mortal.

In the following period of time, you will truly witness the pinnacle music songs from Todai!

This time, the big screen at the back gave information about the song based on the USB flash drive brought by Song Dao.

"A Hundred Birds Face the Phoenix"

This is the most classic suona piece.

As the recorded soundtrack played, the moment Song Dao blew the first note, the originally relaxed scene suddenly became quiet.

For many people who understand music, even if they don’t understand Eastern culture, the “falling phoenix” in the first paragraph makes them feel as if they are being “sent away”.

It's like the cry of a phoenix before its rebirth.

But this melody is really beautiful.

The mysterious oriental culture, the elegant Chinese music, even the music of sending people away, sounds so beautiful!

The "Nirvana" in the second section presents a lively feeling, adding glissando like a baby's cry, symbolizing new life.

at the same time.

On the big screen at the back, there are very considerate explanations for foreigners who don’t understand Chinese culture.

For example: Phoenix Nirvana.

In this mysterious ancient oriental country, the death of the mythical bird Phoenix never means true death.

But nirvana and rebirth!

Even people who don’t understand music can feel the power of new life in this section.

People who understand music will only feel shocked!

Those who originally preferred piano music and thought it was the king of musical instruments and the most elegant, now all widened their eyes.

It’s not like they haven’t heard suona music before.

But I have never heard any suona music that can combine so many elements together.

Death, nirvana, rebirth, nature, and various bird calls.

In the third paragraph, it is "Chao Feng".

The allegro is boiling, and the dense double-tongue sounds simulate the singing of hundreds of birds, which is matched with the drum beats of the sedan chair, full of joy.

The long and melodious sound of the phoenix at the climax made everyone present stare in a daze.

transfixed!

What level of lung capacity does this have to be?!
Before this, there had been top suona performers in this time and space, who had brought this traditional Chinese instrument into the highest-level concerts.

But there has never been a time like this time when this ancient musical instrument became so popular in front of the global audience!

Countless people around the world are getting to know this musical instrument from China for the first time.

I don’t know how many people fell in love with it instantly!
The Internet in Xia Country was completely blown up!

"Oh my god, is Brother Gou going to blow up the place?"

"I was so naive. I originally thought that the piano piece was enough to shock foreigners, but it turned out that Dog Brother actually treated the whole world to a feast as an Easter egg at the end of the award ceremony!"

"Fuck, this is so exciting. This piece of music is called "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"? The various bird calls in it are so awesome!"

"It's so explosive! I can only say that it's really amazing that Gou Ge would actually go to a stage like this to play the suona."

“Among all musical instruments, suona is the king!”

"The feast is about to begin. Today, Mr. Song, who won three World Music Awards, invites everyone in the global village to join in the feast!"

"From now on, I will not submit to anyone but Song Dao. This song is so damn good, and the key is that the expressions of those people at the scene can be used as emoticons!"

"Song Dao, my God!"

It wasn’t just the netizens in Xia who were shocked.

It can be said that as this song was played, people around the world who were watching the live broadcast were shocked beyond words.

There are too many people who don’t understand Eastern culture, and at this moment they have only one thought in their minds: that civilization is so brilliant!
Who would have believed that Song Dao could play such a small instrument so well?

Lanqi, who was sitting in the audience, had a head of silver hair that was about to explode.

The old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

If it weren't for the fact that the song was so moving, it would have attracted almost all of his attention.

Even wanted to laugh out loud.

The World Music Awards that I am in charge of this year is enough to become a classic in the history of music.

This is the real god-level scene!
Just ask who else?
Song Dao had a focused look and a calm expression, and he felt extremely empty inside when he played this piece of music.

Playing the suona on such a world-class stage, both the spiritual core and the instrument, is the essence of Chinese culture!

This feeling is super great!

Today, I will let you foreigners broaden your horizons!

What's the best newcomer, what's the best single, what's the best artist in Asia?
These are secondary.

What I really want is to use the most traditional musical instruments of the University of Tokyo to shock you to the point of being stunned and dumbfounded!

When the song is finished.

The thunderous applause at the scene seemed like the best proof of everyone’s inner release.

The show is all over.

It is estimated that the rental period has not yet expired.

Anyway, no one is urging me.

The group of people at the scene all gave the best response.

The applause lasted about ten minutes.

The expression on everyone's face was still full of shock.

Song Dao thanked him again and again.

He knew that after tonight, there would be a lot more people around the world who wanted to learn suona and understand Chinese culture.

I have made some contribution to the country, right?

he thought.

After stepping down from the stage, at the award ceremony that had completely ended, many people couldn't help but come up to Song Dao and want to leave their contact information.

The little Korean girl from the girl group with fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs looked at Song Dao with eyes that seemed to be dripping with tears.

The accompanying reporters and camera crews of CCTV also recorded this scene very faithfully.

The live broadcast is over.

But these are the most precious materials!
Which singer who can attend this kind of award ceremony is not a big star?
But even big names have people who like them, or even idols who they admire.

The tall, handsome and abstinent male god Song Dao is, at this moment, the idol in the hearts of this group of people.

In this award ceremony mainly featuring pop music, he won three awards but didn't sing a single song.

Just with a piano piece and a suona piece, he won everyone's heart.

Awesome!
It's so arrogant!

……

On the Internet in Xiaguo.

The hot searches were once again dominated by "the innate headline saint" Song Dao.

#SongDao successfully won three awards#
#Song Dao original piano piece Yellow River#
#Song Dao's original suona piece "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"#
The video clips of him receiving the award also quickly spread across the Internet.

What’s interesting is that many foreign fans who came here through Xiamen TV’s third online channel because there was no live broadcast in their own country downloaded the audio-visual program “Show With Me”.

Then join in.

Even though it was already early in the morning, the entire network was still extremely lively.

For too many people, this night was so exciting that they couldn't sleep.

Plus it’s New Year’s Day holiday.

You can enjoy the waves.

Although the department leader behind the Xiaguo Music Conference had previously held a public press conference to apologize.

As this night belonged to Song Dao, he was once again brought out by many netizens to criticize him.

"Although many people have been arrested, and the leaders of the relevant departments have come out to apologize, I still want to spit at those bastards. Ugh! Disgusting!"

"Those people probably never dreamed that just when they thought they could cover up everything and say that music is an art that is open to personal opinion, the World Music Awards raised its arm and gave them a resounding slap in the face!"

"To be honest, I have never been interested in those foreign awards in the past. I felt that they were just something a bunch of Westerners did to entertain themselves. But today I suddenly realized that they are not bad. Especially the super performance of Gou Ge at the award ceremony today. It was really amazing!"

"Some people say that Song Dao is a bit arrogant. It's 2027 and there are still people who like to kneel down to talk? How is he arrogant? In my opinion, he is polite and well-mannered. He can fully represent the spiritual core of our Xia country. We are respectful and enthusiastic to friends and brave and resolute to enemies!"

"Luckily I have a day off tomorrow. I can't sleep tonight. As soon as I close my eyes I hear the chirping of birds. It's too brainwashing! I want to ask a certain old man named Mei if he can give his evaluation of Song's performance tonight when he wakes up tomorrow."

"What the hell is he worth? Is he worthy of it?"

……

The next day.

When Song Dao woke up in the bedroom of the presidential suite, he found a lot of various messages on his mobile phone.

Most of the friends he added last night sent him bilingual messages in their native language and Xia language.

In fact, today’s translation software is very powerful, and Teacher Song has a trick up his sleeve and is proficient in various languages, so it doesn’t matter if those people just send in their native language.

However, the other party's Xia language actually represents an attitude.

——I will adapt to you.

In Xiao Han's famous girl group, there were actually two brave ones who sent him many particularly seductive photos.

[Picture][Picture][Picture]

She expressed her desire to have a friendly match with her idol, Oppa Song, in a very passionate and bold way.

Song Daohui didn't reply.

Who would eat whole grains when you have herbal jelly at home?
I dropped my phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Then he called Lin Fei and Yan Yu and went to the restaurant to have a simple breakfast.

I met that beautiful reporter girl while having dinner.

It is obvious that this girl must have fallen in love with him during this award ceremony.

However, in front of the two goddesses, Lin Fei and Yan Yu, no matter how much he liked her, he could only keep it secretly in his heart.

Fortunately, I had already added Teacher Song as a friend.

The days are long.

The accompanying director confirmed with Song Dao various interview arrangements regarding his subsequent return to China.

"I know that Mr. Song is busy and doesn't like business very much, but the results you achieved this time are so fruitful!"

"It is inevitable that you will be on Xiashi News. There are already several columns that want to invite you to come over."

"At the same time, Director Zhou also called me this morning and said that Teacher Song really brought glory to the country this time, especially in promoting our traditional culture, which is comparable to Fang Tianlong..."

Song Dao took a quick look at the list of programs listed by the director. They were all very substantial and not inferior to those on the "opposite side", so he nodded and agreed.

The reputation he gained at last night's awards ceremony was incredibly astonishing.

I am in a very happy mood.

It seems that "globalization" does have many benefits.

……

in the afternoon.

Song Dao called Lanqi to say goodbye.

Lanqi felt a little regretful.

"I'm sorry, my schedule is a bit tight this time, and due to my status, it's not convenient for me to treat you to a meal. Next time we meet, I will definitely have a good chat with you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lanqi. Next time you come to Xia Country, I'll treat you!"

"Then it's happily decided!"

Afterwards, the group boarded two luxury buses and headed to the Chinese Embassy in France.

Over there, there was a dinner party which was said to be of very high standard.
