HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 391 [391] It was said that the heat would eventually cool down, so why is Qi Yuan completely unrestricted!
Qi Yuan's fans and a large number of Taiwanese bystanders were amused.

"Am I seeing things? Did F4 really run away when they saw Qi Yuan come to Taiwan?"

"Finally, we got rid of those four talentless people. They can't act, they can't sing, they're not handsome enough, and they're always on the front page. I'm so annoyed with them. At least Qi Yuan has some works to his name, and he's more handsome than them."

"Is this the terrifying popularity of an international superstar? It makes Taiwan's most popular boy band run away in fear!"

……

hotel.

Qi Yuan, who had just finished morning exercises with Lin Chih-ling, was somewhat bewildered when she received a call from Chou Chieh-lun.

"Ah Yuan, you're awesome, F4 ran away."

Chou Chieh Lun was very envious of Chi Yuan's popularity, as he couldn't even surpass F4 in Taiwan.

"???"

Qi Yuan was even more confused.

When did he stoop so low as to compare himself to F4? Wouldn't that just be a step backward?
After talking to Jay Chou, Qi Yuan learned that a fan war had broken out that morning.

F4 fans were unhappy with their actions of stealing the headlines and a war of words broke out between them and their own fans.

Then paparazzi photographed F4 boarding a plane to Hong Kong, which was quite embarrassing.

Those F4 fans who were cheering for their idols just a second ago have really embarrassed themselves.

They boasted about their idol for a long time, trying to prove that their idol was no worse than Qi Yuan, but their idol ran away. Isn't that the same as admitting defeat?
Qi Yuan found it funny. He hadn't done anything, yet he had scared away Taiwan's top boy band F4? F4 was nothing special!

Qi Yuan also knew that F4 was currently in a period of rising popularity, and was far from reaching its peak.

Meteor Garden premiered in Taiwan and was then repeatedly rebroadcast on various TV stations. However, the show has not yet spread to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and other regions.

From this perspective, it's understandable that F4 were scared away by him.

Strictly speaking, it can't be said that he scared them away. He went to Hong Kong before coming to Taiwan and knew that "Meteor Garden" was going to be broadcast in Hong Kong.

With him around, F4's exposure will definitely be greatly reduced, so it's better to promote elsewhere and build up popularity.

This strategy is wise and correct; the problem lies with those fanatical fans who have become too arrogant in Taiwan lately.

They dared to criticize any superstar, but this time they kicked Qi Yuan, a tough nut to crack, breaking his leg and splattering blood all over their idol's face.

I bet F4 and Chai Zhiping are both ready to yell at these fans.

Many idols are dragged down by their fans.

If the fans don't stir up trouble or argue with Qi Yuan's fans, will they be at a disadvantage?
Qi Yuan asked, "Jielun, you seem very happy. Do you have a grudge against F4?"

When asked about Qi Yuan, Zhou Jielun didn't hold back: "They really don't look very nice to me. I can't explain why, but I just feel uncomfortable looking at them."

Qi Yuan: "..."

First impressions are really a mysterious thing.

Later, when Jay Chou and F4 met for the first time, they almost got into a fight.

If Chen Guanxi hadn't grabbed a stool and stood next to Zhou Jielun, Zhou Jielun might have gotten a beating.

Qi Yuan found it strange when she saw the news in her previous life that they had such a falling out on their first meeting. It turned out that they didn't like each other, so it wasn't surprising.

Both sides are concerned about saving face, and both are young. One person provoked the other, and in the end, the conflict escalated to an uncontrollable point because of the desire to save face.

After chatting for a bit more, Chou Chieh-lun spoke confidently about tonight's Golden Melody Awards, saying he would bring his grandmother to the event so she could watch him win an award.

Qi Yuan was starting to lose her composure.

Jay Chou might be disappointed. But from a fan's perspective, it's a good thing; she did a great job at the Golden Melody Awards.

If you don't put some pressure on Zhou Jielun and make him lose face, he won't know how much potential he has.

……

At 19 p.m., Qi Yuan arrived at the Kai-Shen Cultural Center in Kaohsiung.

The theme of this year's Golden Melody Awards is "anti-piracy," and it is touted as a rally to save the Taiwanese music industry.

It turned out to be ineffective. Under the impact of MP3s and the future Internet, not only the Taiwanese record market, but the entire Chinese record market collapsed.

This is Qi Yuan's fourth time attending the Golden Melody Awards. The hosts have finally changed, now consisting of Fang Fangfang, Wu Zhongxian, and Peng Qiaqia.

The awards ceremony began with a red carpet event on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where celebrities and musicians, dressed in their finest attire, walked the red carpet, posing for photos and giving brief interviews to the media.

Male celebrities really don't have many outfits to choose from when attending such grand occasions.

Qi Yuan appeared in a custom-made dark black suit with Chinese elements, accompanied by three female singers: Zhang Shaohan, Sun Yanzi, and Na Ying.

The organizers of the Golden Melody Awards are good at generating buzz, so they deliberately arranged for Na-young to walk the red carpet with Chi-Yuan.

Rumors have been circulating both inside and outside the entertainment industry that Chen Zeshan has successfully poached Nayoung, and that Nayoung is preparing to join Warner Music as a member of the "Queen of Pop" troupe.

The signing date is set after the Golden Melody Awards.

Nayoung has been nominated for Best Female Vocalist at the Golden Melody Awards again.

If she wins the award and then publicly and publicly signs with Warner, it will bring a huge wave of exposure to her and Chen Zeshan's Tianhou Palace project, and the Tianhou Palace brand can be promoted.

When asked by reporters whether Nayoung would join Warner, Qi Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know. As you all know, I just came back from the United States, and there are many things I don't understand."

When asked if she was confident of winning an award, Qi Yuan said confidently, "The last organization that didn't give me an award was the Grammys. The whole world knows they're rigged."

The reporter was ecstatic! He knew the guy would say something surprising, and he certainly didn't disappoint!

Some veteran journalists also believe that Chi Yuan is too confident, pointing out that there is a rule in the Golden Melody Awards: the most popular will inevitably fall short.

Qi Yuan became incredibly popular, winning Best Producer and Best Newcomer in his first year, and his second and third years were practically a complete sweep.

Will the Golden Melody Awards jury allow Chi Yuan to monopolize all the major awards for many years?

Many people are speculating that the Golden Melody Awards might limit the number of awards Chi Yuan receives.

Otherwise, if all the awards were taken by Qi Yuan, how would Taiwanese singers survive?
Na Ying, Sun Yanzi, and Zhang Shaohan lacked Qi Yuan's confidence; the three of them only offered perfunctory remarks.

Na-young was asked an extra question: whether she would cooperate with Ki-won.

Na-young wished she could snatch the microphone and shove it into the reporter's mouth.

Isn't Qi Yuan right here? Go ask Qi Yuan for me! What's the use of asking me? He's an international superstar. Do you think he'll just cooperate with me because I say I want to?

……

Once inside the venue, the celebrities took their seats, and several hosts began the opening ceremony, officially commencing the 12th Golden Melody Awards presentation.

As in previous years, the first award presented was for Best Mandarin Male Singer, also known as the Golden Melody Award for Best Male Singer.

The singers and musicians present were all curious whether the rule that a hit must eventually fade away would apply to Qi Yuan.

When the lottery results were announced, people couldn't contain themselves.

No, wasn't it supposed to be that things will cool down after they get really hot? Why doesn't this rule apply to Qi Yuan at all?
