Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 228 The Biggest Suspense
On the bright side, although Qi Luo'an never mentioned his maternal uncle, at least he didn't call him "Old Deng"...

Anyway, Yu Wei was too embarrassed to tell Ye Shengyu, otherwise the old man would be heartbroken. The child he had spoiled since childhood didn't even deserve a name in her eyes.

They were identified as distant relatives.

Yu Wei just gave an awkward laugh, neither confirming nor denying, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"That's enough. Aren't you just making Yu Wei the target of everyone's criticism?"

Zhong Qing, who was standing nearby, promptly interrupted the two's idle chatter. Although Ye Shengyu was an old rascal, he still had the strength and status, and it was well-deserved for him to sit in the first seat.

He came in and started chatting with Yu Wei about everyday things. What do the other artists and singers think?
It won't have a direct impact, but there are plenty of people in the business world who stand out and get shot down. If Yu Wei gets into trouble, this old man will be the scapegoat.

Yu Wei was deeply moved by these words and stopped criticizing Teacher Zhong as a "loser." She was such a kind person...

"Are young people afraid of these things?"

Ye Shengyu, however, was somewhat unconcerned. "Only mediocre people don't get jealous. As long as you're strong enough, there's nothing to worry about."

Despite saying that, he did stop there, and he and Yu Wei sat down without continuing their conversation, as the awards ceremony was about to begin.

As the main lights dimmed, the stage was illuminated by dreamy blue beams of light. Yu Wei checked her phone one last time to make sure it was silent, and then focused all her attention on the stage.

The online live stream started simultaneously, and several photographers began to move around in the corridor, with very steady camera movement.

Yu Wei really wanted to see what the viewers in the live stream were saying, but it wasn't appropriate to look at her phone at this time, so she could only imagine it.

"You can't even use your phone inside, how pitiful."

Qi Luoan watched Shen Yutong and Qi Yuan, who were looking very serious in the camera lens, from the lounge, and felt a little smug.

Where is Yu Wei?

She knew Yu Wei was sitting in the first row, but the photographer just wouldn't shoot from the front; he was only focused on taking pictures in the back row, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"After that, the front row will be the only seats available."

Since they're already there, the organizers will naturally give them some screen time to make the fans watching on screen happy, but that's about it.

Once the awards ceremony actually begins, these people will just be fleeting figures in the background.

Those who are nominated can get a few close-ups, while those who aren't nominated can just wander off into the background and watch the show.

That's how the entertainment industry is; not being famous is a cardinal sin. In such a star-studded event, being able to even show your face is considered a sign of the organizers' kindness.

"Seeing our harmony."

"Who are all these people? I don't recognize any of these celebrities these days."

"There are so many people, where is our Leying?"

Unlike the online buzz often found in entertainment novels, these kinds of grand events are actually only of interest to fans.

People who don't follow the entertainment industry rarely watch live streams; at most, they might browse related short videos and read bloggers' brief comments.

Most fans of celebrities have their own fandom, which is why not many people mentioned Yu Wei at the beginning of the live stream. Fans of different celebrities just had a good impression of him, but they were most concerned about the celebrity himself.

Yu Wei's fans are mostly casual viewers; ordinary people don't usually pay attention to these kinds of activities, let alone watch live streams and spam the chat.

The ceremony began on time, and a rock singer ignited the entire audience with two classic songs. His free-spirited shouts and candid, passionate performance instantly set the atmosphere ablaze.

Yu Weizheng listened intently, and the photographer finally managed to capture the first row.

When the camera panned across the veteran musicians and then suddenly revealed a young, artistic face, the audience's brains clearly went blank for a moment.

What is this? Did I accidentally wander into the Heavenly Palace?

Regardless of seniority or experience, age is still a significant factor. Who understands the sense of redemption that comes from suddenly seeing a twenty-year-old young man standing out among a group of elderly people?

“I knew long ago that Yu Wei was the reincarnation of Lao Deng, and it turned out to be true.”

"Who says Yu Wei is old? Yu Wei is amazing."

"Grandpa, the novel you've been following has finally been updated. Yu Wei hasn't gotten old."

Seeing this, even those who aren't Yu Wei's fans have to say something. Who taught the organizers to arrange the seating like this, treating Yu Wei like an old man?

Unfortunately, Yu Wei can't see any of this now, as the awards ceremony has already begun.

After the opening performance, the host took the stage to introduce the background and scale of the event. The music gala brought together more than 100 Chinese musicians and will unveil 41 music honors.

The opening awards are usually just for show and don't have much value; the real prizes are always saved for later, otherwise the audience would have left long before the awards were over.

The first award is "Newcomer Singer of the Year," which sounds like a prize for those with high online popularity. The more obscure the name, the lower its prestige.

What promising new star is shining brightly, and which award uses this name?

As long as there are enough prefixes, anyone can be the best of the year.

"Let's congratulate Yu Wei!"

"?"

Yu Wei had thought he would win an award, but he didn't expect his first award to come so quickly. The key point is that this award doesn't seem to have much prestige...

But since the person had already been given, Yu Wei couldn't refuse. As he got up and went on stage, the live stream chat exploded.

"Damn, I almost forgot that Yu Wei is still a newcomer."

"Having left for half a lifetime, I return still a new person."

"This award is a bit of a scrap; we can't just give Yu Wei some junk, can we?"

Although it may not be a very prestigious award, it would be perfectly acceptable to give it to Yu Wei. He has only recently gained momentum and is a rising star.
Yu Wei accepted the trophy and said a few words of thanks, not daring to say what he had prepared beforehand, wondering what he would say next. "Congratulations again."

Amidst enthusiastic applause from the artists present, Yu Wei stepped down from the stage and took his seat. Although the awards were rather ordinary, the trophy looked quite nice; at least it was a work of art when placed on the shelf.

As luck would have it, the second award was the "Singer of the Year" that Yu Wei had just been secretly complaining about.

It's called "shining," but actually anyone can have it. Every singer has one or two shining performances, so it wouldn't be surprising if it were given to someone else.

"Let's congratulate Yu Wei!"

"..."

It was quite surprising to give it to him. Yu Wei didn't expect the organizers to be so generous, not only giving him one, but also two.

These small prizes are usually used for social niceties, so what's the point of giving them to him? Are you really planning to let everyone else come empty-handed?
Not only the audience, but the other artists present also didn't understand. If you're talking about whether he deserved it or not, then Yu Wei deserved 90% of the awards at the event, but you can't really give 90% of the awards to him alone...

Fortunately, the third award finally went to someone else. When Yu Wei heard that she wasn't the winner of "Quality Performance of the Year," she even felt a sense of relief.

I almost thought the organizers really intended for him to accept all the prizes. That's more like it. Small prizes are meaningless to him; it's better to give them to others to add to the fun.

The subsequent series of inflated awards had nothing to do with Yu Wei, as if the initial situation had never occurred.

"What does this mean?"

Qi Luoan was a little confused. This kind of "slacking off" award should either be given out in one go or in several ways. What does it mean to give out two and that's enough?

"Thunder and rain are both blessings from Heaven; accept them if they are given to you."

Liu Ning saw things clearly: Yu Weineng could win the prestigious awards, but the two low-quality awards were just something the organizers could give him.

It's like the disposable toothbrush your boss brings back from a business trip. Whether you want it or not, or whether you'll use it or not, the fact that he's giving it to you is a gesture, and you can only accept it.

After the pork-sharing segment ended, the stage cut to a short performance, and then came the main event, which included not only the grand prize but also the nominations.

"All-Round Musician of the Year" is the highest recognition of a singer's comprehensive abilities in singing, songwriting, production and other aspects.

Meng Han had specifically mentioned this award before Yu Weilai arrived, so he was quite impressed with it. The so-called all-rounder could be an army by himself.

To win the All-Round Musician Award, you need at least one high-quality original song with a high level of completion.

Four singers were nominated, including Yu Wei and Shen Yutong. I wasn't very familiar with Yu Wei, but I did have some impression of her.

Almost instantly upon hearing about the award, netizens exclaimed, "It's a customized award!"

Stop keeping me in suspense, there's no need to guess. There's some controversy about other things, but when it comes to all-around abilities, who can be more all-around than Yu Wei?
Not only is Yu Wei's creative technique versatile, but his creative categories are also versatile.

He can write pop songs, retro songs, rock and rap, and even Japanese songs. If this doesn't count as being all-around talented, then what does?

It would be really unfair if this award didn't go to Yu Wei; even those who aren't fans would have something to say about it.

The winner is Yu Wei.

This award was well-deserved. Yu Wei stepped onto the stage and gave a very sincere acceptance speech, as if this was his first award of the night.

"Music is my whole life, and I will continue to explore more possibilities."

As soon as he said that, a series of question marks appeared in the live chat. Nonsense! We would believe other musicians if they said that, but no one would believe Yu Wei if he said that.

Isn't writing books your whole life?
The next award is Song of the Year, a real grand prize, whose prestige ranks among the top three music awards ceremonies.

The Song of the Year, as the name suggests, is the most prestigious song of the year, and this award is actually the biggest suspense of this music festival.

The suspense isn't about who wins the award; it should definitely go to Yu Wei. If he doesn't win, no one else can. The only question is which song he'll win with.

He has so many good works that it's not easy to pick out the best one.

Those who like love songs will love "Red Bean," those who like rock music will think "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" is a masterpiece, and those who love children's songs will definitely recommend "Riding the Waves."

Yu Wei's most popular song recently is definitely "We Are a Loving Family", but the selection of the best song started last month, and songs performed at the concert are not included.

"It really is 'Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart,' the more you listen to it, the more addictive it becomes."

Where do you put my "The Ordinary Road"?

"Later is also a masterpiece, but it's a pity it's only been out for two days."

Yu Wei has many fans, and this discussion is somewhat one-sided, with each side trying to cite data and boost popularity, making it difficult to reach a consensus.

Fans will definitely think that the songs they like are the best. When it comes to songs, there is no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. Who dares to claim to be invincible and who dares to say that they are undefeated?

If it were a case of selecting the best among the short, the award would be uncontroversial. It's precisely because Yu Weihao has so many works that it's difficult for people to judge.

Yu Wei was well aware of this; if it were to win over the public, it would definitely be that one song…

"Congratulations, Yu Wei, on 'The Ordinary Road'."

In terms of quality and popularity, every song has a chance to win an award, but in terms of significance, this song is truly extraordinary.

In short, it defeated Chen Ping and even won.

This event was so impressive that it made even the most acclaimed masterpieces pale in comparison; calling it epoch-making is no exaggeration.

In the eyes of other musicians, especially the older generation, this song is indispensable.

If you take down the boss's last drop of health with a basic attack, then that's the most outrageous move, especially since this song doesn't involve basic attacks.

The song truly deserves the title "Master of Dragon Slaying."

He stepped on the first person to win the award, and no other musician would dare to utter a sound.
