Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Chapter 113 Best Male Singer

As soon as Song Mo entered, all the guests who were already seated looked over.

Princess, Na-young, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Pu Shu, Lao Lang, and Lu Yi.

That's right, it's Lu Yi. He also released an album this year. Although his singing wasn't great, he still managed to sell over a million copies thanks to his immense popularity.

During this period, he attended many award ceremonies and won just as many trophies as Song Mo.

Song Mo went over to greet them one by one. The princess was not in a good state. During this period, her relationship with Nicholas Tse had been on and off, constantly dominating the headlines of Hong Kong media.

Nayoung, who has a great voice, was very enthusiastic towards Song Mo, promising him, with the air of a big sister in the music industry, that he could come to her for anything.

Overjoyed by this opportunity, Song Mo immediately called on Sister Na. Na Ying was also all smiles and asked him if he knew how to play mahjong, saying she would call him next time they needed one more player.

After greeting everyone, Song Mo sat down. As soon as he did, a hoarse voice asked, "What were you talking about with them? And why did you talk for so long?"

He looked up and saw Zhou Xun blinking at him, her face full of charm.

She was wearing a black slip dress with a lace-up cardigan over it, her hair was casually loose, and she had minimal makeup on, but her eyes were so bright, like two pools of spring water.

"Brother Xun, why are you sitting here?" Song Mo asked, somewhat surprised.

"I changed it," Zhou Xun said nonchalantly, sitting down next to him and crossing her legs.

She came as a singer this time. These days, singers have a good job, so it's not uncommon for actors to sing.

"Song Mo, I really like your song 'Southern Girl,' it's so beautiful." Zhou Xun tilted her head and looked at him earnestly.

"Thank you, I also like your 'Drifting'." Song Mo laughed heartily, immediately launching into a round of mutual flattery.

But Zhou Xun's singing isn't just a hobby; after all, she used to perform at bars, and her husky voice is quite distinctive. Although her singing skills aren't exceptional, her energy and style are something most people can't imitate.

Upon hearing Song Mo's words, Zhou Xun immediately beamed with joy. As an artistic young woman, she valued her singing career quite a bit, and upon hearing Song Mo's words, she immediately regarded Song Mo as a confidant.

"I also think I sing pretty well, of course, I can't compare to you professionals. How about we collaborate sometime?" Zhou Xun asked directly without any politeness or probing.

"No problem, let's collaborate sometime." Song Mo agreed with a smile. After all, Zhou Xun is now a top star in the film industry, a true chosen one. It would definitely not hurt to have a good relationship with her.

"Then it's a deal." Zhou Xun reached out and gave him a high five, then stood up, patted her skirt, and said, "You'll definitely get a prize tonight, don't be nervous."

Song Mo smiled. "You too."

At these kinds of parties, almost everyone who attends receives a prize. Otherwise, why didn't people like Yang Kun and Sha Baoliang come? They all knew they had no chance, so they simply didn't bother coming and wasting their time.

The lights dimmed quickly, and the ceremony began. After the opening remarks, the first segment was a tribute to the brother who passed away earlier this year.

It must be said that Leslie Cheung was indeed very popular, and the solemn atmosphere lasted for quite some time after the memorial service ended.

The subsequent awards ceremony was fast-paced and lively; after all, it was a distribution of prizes, and everyone was eagerly anticipating it.

In the end, Lu Yi won the Most Popular Newcomer Award in Mainland China. Immediately, some people in the audience started to grumble: "Why didn't it go to Sha Baoliang? Isn't Anxiang popular enough?" and "Song Mo sold 170 million copies, and he still didn't win the Most Popular Newcomer Award?" The constant questioning made Lu Yi, who went on stage to accept the award, sweat profusely.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong with the subsequent awards. Zhou Xun won the Most Popular Song of the Year in Mainland China, said thank you on stage, and then walked off.

Na Ying won the Most Popular Female Singer of the Year in Mainland China, while Faye Wong won the Best Female Singer in Asia. One was outgoing and the other aloof, and they went on stage one after the other to accept their awards, which was quite a sight to behold.

Song Mo ultimately won the Mainland China's Best Male Singer of the Year award, which is quite prestigious, considering that the Mainland China's Best Female Singer of the Year award goes to heavyweight Han Hong.

Therefore, when he won this award, there were quite a few complaints. After all, many people felt that if Song Mo came to MTV this time, he should have won the Most Popular Newcomer in Mainland China. Now that he directly won the Best Male Singer award, it naturally made them somewhat resentful.

Unlike Lu Yi, Song Mo wasn't flustered. He accepted the trophy and immediately said "GG" into the microphone: "Thank you MTV, thank you to all the friends who like my album. My new album will be released in a few months. This new album is still one that I have carefully polished myself, and I believe it will not disappoint you. We will definitely see each other again at next year's MTV."

Song Mo's confident and high-spirited words made many people in the audience laugh.

Na-young and Zhou Xun took the lead in clapping.

Song Mo bowed and stepped off the stage. Sun Yanzi, who was sitting in the front row, gave Song Mo a thumbs up. She had announced a few days ago that she would be taking a year off. Song Mo nodded back.

At that time, almost no one in the music scene could understand Sun Yanzi's choice, even though she was the queen of the music scene and her position in the music scene was very stable.

However, the fierce competition in the music scene is well-known. On one hand, Jolin Tsai has just made a comeback, while on the other hand, Liang Jinru, Elva Hsiao and others are relentlessly pursuing her.

In addition, Angela Chang and Cyndi Wang, who have just made their debut, are gaining momentum, and three of the four future "Queens" have already begun to emerge.

S.H.E further solidified their status as a top Asian girl group with "SuperStar".

From any perspective, retiring at this time was not a good idea, but she made the decision so gracefully.

Song Mo couldn't help but give her the title of "cool and carefree sister".

However, Song Mo was also well aware that although Sun Yanzi seemed to have only rested for one year, she had missed a good opportunity to fully open up the mainland market.

In 2004, with the popularization of MP3 players and the Internet, the sales of physical records and cassettes declined sharply, severely impacting the traditional star-making and profit-making models in mainland China.

In contrast, music from Hong Kong and Taiwan, with its superior production standards and star-making model, has directly swept through the mainland market.

CCTV's "The Same Song" and other music promotion programs have also opened back doors for Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, allowing them to directly reach a wider audience.

Therefore, even in many rural areas where people cannot afford records, the influence of young singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan has increased dramatically.

People tend to have preconceived notions; if you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step.

Sun Yanzi's influence in mainland China after her return is now a level below that of Cai Yilin and S.H.E.

The day after the MTV Music Awards, entertainment newspapers and magazines across the country published news that Song Mo had won the Best Male Singer of the Year award in Mainland China.

Song Mo beats Liu Huan and Sun Nan to win the Mainland China's Best Male Singer of the Year award.

Song Mo boldly declares his second album will return to the MTV Awards.

Song Mo replaces Wang Leehom as the youngest male singer to win MTV's Best Male Artist of the Year award.
