HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 392 [392] Unprecedented? The Golden Melody Awards are swept by one person!
"The winner of the Best Mandarin Male Vocalist Award at the 12th Golden Melody Awards, Qi Yuan."

Among the five nominees—Adi-zai's "Struggle," Su Yong-kang's "Meeting Too Early," Yuan Wei-ren's "Confession," Wang Li-hong's "Descendants of the Dragon," and Qi Yuan's "Wrong Love"—the Golden Melody Awards surprisingly awarded the Best Male Vocalist award to Qi Yuan.

This is very unusual.

Qi Yuan had already won the title of Best Male Vocalist three times before, and with this latest win, he will be the fourth winner, breaking the record since the Golden Melody Awards were founded.

The Golden Melody Awards have only been held twelve times.

Wang Lihong was somewhat disappointed; he had once again failed to win.

If it weren't for Chi Yuan, his song "Revolution" would have had a good chance of winning Best Male Vocalist at the 99 Golden Melody Awards.

He was a little depressed after running into Qi Yuan twice in a row. Was Qi Yuan destined to bring him bad luck?

Isn't it said that the Golden Melody Awards are going to limit the number of awards Qi Yuan can receive? Why can't I see any restrictions at all?

Chou Chieh-lun was equally puzzled; last year, he and Chi Yuan had the same number of nominations, ten awards each.

As a result, Qi Yuan made him lose badly; apart from the Best Newcomer award, he didn't win any other awards.

Today he was nominated for Best Album, Best Producer, Best Lyricist, and two Best Arrangers.

He won Best Album and Best Producer, while the other three went to Fang Wenshan and Zhong Xingming.

Chou Chieh Lun suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that he would be a runner-up again this year?

He even brought his grandmother along; he really wants to lose so badly!
Fine, Jay Chou has lowered his standards. He doesn't want Best Album and Best Producer, but he can still try for the other three, right?
Neither Fang Wenshan nor Zhong Xingming came, so he went on stage to help accept the award, hoping to save face in front of his grandmother.

As Qi Yuan's agent, Zhang Hao was not happy about Qi Yuan winning the award.

His first reaction was, "What is the Golden Melody Awards trying to do? Are they crazy? Winning the title of Best Male Vocalist four times in a row, what are they planning!"
Perhaps seeing that Chi Yuan was suppressed at the Grammys this year, the Golden Melody Awards dared not reduce the number of Chi Yuan's awards?

This explanation makes some sense. Qi Yuan was targeted by the Grammys, and at the time, netizens across the country were criticizing the Grammys.

If the Golden Melody Awards continue to suppress Chi Yuan, the Golden Melody Awards will be criticized to death.

Qi Yuan glanced at the 'Strong Luck' trait in the system panel. Could this be considered an effect of Strong Luck?

The Golden Melody Awards had already planned to stop him from winning so many awards every year, but the Grammys' discrimination has made things very difficult for the Golden Melody Awards.

Since the strong luck has already shone, Qi Yuan felt there shouldn't be any pitfalls. Winning the title of King of Singers four times is fine; he's made history.

Even if the Golden Melody Awards try some tricks, he'll just deal with them as they come.

Qi Yuan went on stage, accepted the King of Singers trophy, and gave a very official acceptance speech.

Unsurprisingly, Nayoung won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Vocalist.

Nayoung was qualified to win Best Female Singer in the same year as "Conquer".

Na Ying also became the first mainland Chinese female singer to win the Best Female Vocalist award at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

Nayoung was quite humble and restrained, thanking her fans and judges on stage.

Mayday won the Best Band award. This band began to emerge, and although many people criticized their rock music as not deserving of the name, it did not stop them from becoming popular quickly.

For the Best Newcomer Award, the music videos of the nominated singers were played on the big screen, leaving many singers and record company executives present stunned.

Warner, can't you even be a human being?

I wish you could just act like a human being.

Sun Yanzi and Zhang Shaohan are both nominated for Best Newcomer, so why not just give this award to Warner Music?

By the way, Christine Fan from Linfair Records is also nominated for Best Newcomer.

There was no surprise at all in the end; Sun Yanzi was the winner.

Then the absurd things started, and the subsequent award ceremony left everyone speechless.

Best Album, Award Winner: Qi Yuan's "As You Wish".

Best Composer: Qi Yuan ("Far Away"). Best Lyricist: Vincent Fang ("Far Away").

Best arranger, winner Qi Yuan, "Peerless Hero".

Best Album Producer, winner Qi Yuan, "As You Wish".

Best Music Video, awarded to Qi Yuan for "Flower Field Mistake".

Aside from awards that Qi Yuan wasn't nominated for, such as Best Ensemble and Best Male/Female Singer in Dialect, she basically won all the awards.

Qi Yuan won six trophies by himself, and he also contributed to Sun Yanzi's Best Newcomer award. He also collaborated with Fang Wenshan on "Far Away". All eight trophies are related to him.

Everyone present couldn't understand why the Golden Melody Awards were behaving this way.

Should Qi Yuan's number of awards be reduced?

We could give away less prestigious awards like Best Composer, Best Lyricist, Best Arranger, and Best Music Video to others.

Including the Golden Melody Award for Best Male Vocalist, which Qi Yuan has won three times, it could be given to someone else.

The Golden Melody Awards did the opposite, giving all the awards they could to Chi Yuan. What exactly does that mean?
After the awards ceremony, singers like Jay Chou and Wang Lihong, who didn't win anything, were somewhat downcast.

Subsequently, the entire Taiwanese media erupted in outrage.

[Unprecedented! Eleven nominations, six wins—he has made history!]

[Qi Yuan, the undisputed number one king of the Chinese music scene two thousand years from now!]

A superstar in the Chinese music scene, and an international superstar!

Qi Yuan's Taiwanese fans were also very happy, and kept discussing online how awesome Qi Yuan's album was, and how reasonable it was to win six trophies.

……

Warner.

Zhou Jianhui, Chen Zeshan, Zhang Hao, and others all had their brows furrowed.

They had all been told beforehand that Qi Yuan's number of trophies would decrease, but instead it increased. There's definitely something fishy about this.

Sure enough, after the Golden Melody Awards, the entire Taiwanese media raved about Qi Yuan for several days.

This past weekend, the chief judges of this year's Golden Melody Awards appeared on a TV show.

During the show, the judges praised Qi Yuan's musical talent, commending him for the innovative nature of each of his albums, calling him a true musical genius.

He also praised Qi Yuan's achievements in the world music scene.

Then came the point.

"I think top-notch musical talents like Qi Yuan should focus their attention and career on the international stage."

The Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong are admirable, not only for their outstanding professional skills, but also for their magnanimity.

Li Ming was the first to withdraw from the awards ceremony, announcing that he would no longer accept the award, followed closely by Zhang Xueyou.

After achieving success, they all chose to give more exposure opportunities to newcomers...

The chief judge said a lot, but it can be summarized into one point.

If Chi Yuan announces his withdrawal from the Golden Melody Awards, Chi Yuan will be great, just like Li Ming and Chang Hsueh-yu.

Conversely, if Qi Yuan continues to accept awards, he will become a dragon that restricts the development of the Chinese music scene, stifling the opportunity for newcomers to rise to prominence.

The Golden Melody Awards have considered this: Chi Yuan is too strong. Reducing the number of Chi Yuan's awards won't help. The most prestigious awards, such as Best Album, will still be won by Chi Yuan. Taiwanese singers will always be suppressed by Chi Yuan.

Why not take advantage of the Grammys' suppression of Qi Yuan, "support" Qi Yuan, flatter him, and force him to permanently withdraw from the Golden Melody Awards?
