The awards for the various categories of the Golden Melody Awards continued to be presented, and after several lesser-known technical minor awards were given out, the third, second and first places for the Top 10 Songs were announced.
Then many people on the scene cheered up again.
The reason is simple: the one that got third place was "Sisters Stand Up" by Wu Xing Wu Su, which became a huge hit after New Year's Day and it's no surprise that it made it to the top 10. However... the lyrics and music were written by Li Qian! And as for the first place winner "Devotion", well, there's no need to say more about Liao Liao and Li Qian's little story, which has been circulating in the circle for a while now. If you haven't heard it by now, then you can't even be considered part of the music scene.
So... let's see what they have to say.
Then everyone was disappointed.
The fifth place winner, Wu Suo's "Sisters Stand Up", was third. The first to give an acceptance speech was Sima DuoDuo, representing the sisters who stood up to speak. She thanked the company, producer Li JinLong, the organizers, the Huaxia Music Academy, and even the two major TV stations and China Voice Broadcasting Station, but she didn't mention a single word about the song's lyricist and composer, Li Qian.
Many people were greatly disappointed, and some already had a victorious smile on their faces.
Of course, everyone is not completely disappointed.
After all, there is still Liao Liao.
As the dark horse that rose to fame in the second half of last year and is absolutely one of the most popular female singers in the country, Liao Liao has a reputation for being somewhat chivalrous in the circle. Moreover, she was also one of the first people to recognize Li Qian and use his works, it can be said that they are each other's mutual achievements. And according to rumors, the two have a very close private relationship...
So-called chivalrousness... put bluntly, isn't it just being willful?
So, under the pressure, she will make the same choice as He Runqing and Wu Xingwusu. Or will she choose to be more arbitrary and stand up for Li Qian?
Of course, thinking about returning and expecting to return. Even if it's just a slight understanding of the Golden Melody Awards nomination list, everyone actually understands that Liao Liang and the Golden Melody Awards organizers are unlikely to be at odds with each other.
The logic is simple, He Rongqing and Wu Xing Wusu have set an example in their previous award-winning speeches. Even if doing so would be criticized as "burning the bridge after crossing the river", she was just following suit, with the least pressure on her. The greatest pressure lies with He Rongqing, who won the first prize but didn't mention Li Qian, and secondly with Wu Xing Wusu.
And with He Runqing and Wuxingwusu finishing the top 10 golden songs, it's basically time to announce the end of the awards ceremony. But Liao Liao's main event is still yet to come!
Album of the Year and Female Singer of the Year, Liao Liao has both nominations! Moreover, many industry insiders believe that these two awards are very likely to be won by Liao Liao! Both awards are definitely heavyweight among heavyweights, how can Liao Liao not care as a singer?
Even if she only gets the most promising annual best female singer, she can truly announce her retirement! With Zhen Zhen releasing an album every two or three years, Zhou Mei's comeback is uncertain, and He Runying is gradually declining. She may even take this opportunity to directly reach the top and become the most powerful and prestigious first-tier singer in the domestic music scene!
Even if he could win both awards, plus the current top 10 golden songs first place, as a singer, Liao Liao has just released his first album, but he can already declare a Golden Melody Award Grand Slam!
If considering the Golden Melody Awards organizers want to shut them up, it's very likely that there will be a certain degree of bias in the awards... As long as Liao Liang is honest, maybe this time they can really achieve a grand slam!
These twists and turns, even if Liao Liao herself couldn't understand them, Chen Changsheng sitting next to her was a famous clever person in the circle. How could he not understand? Having understood, how could he possibly not clearly explain the pros and cons to Liao Liao?
What a great opportunity. How long will it take for her to have a second chance? How dare she be so reckless again?
So, is she daring to openly defy the wishes of the Golden Melody Awards organizers at a time when it's highly likely that she'll win? And all for something so trivial, just because of whether or not to mention a certain name in her acceptance speech!
If Liao Liao still dares to ignore the wishes of the Golden Melody Awards organizers in this situation and still mentions Li Qian, then she is not being arrogant or willful, but simply stupid!
…………
At this moment, some people are expecting, some are nervous, but everyone is paying close attention.
So, the Golden Melody Awards ceremony witnessed an unprecedented awkward moment in history - after Liu Mingliang, who won the second place of the Top 10 Golden Songs, finished his acceptance speech, everyone just symbolically applauded twice and then stopped abruptly, with all eyes fixed on Liao Liao.
The applause lasted for only a few seconds... This made Liu Mingliang, who was walking down from the podium, slightly embarrassed.
But when he walked back, he glanced at Liao Liao and felt relieved again: the applause was short, but at this time, no one would think that the people on the scene were not giving themselves face, everyone just wanted to hear what Liao Liao had to say.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at Liao Liao again and gave him a warm smile.
He knew that this girl, who was just over twenty years old, must be carrying a huge burden on her shoulders! At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is really unique to the extreme. The Golden Melody Awards have been held for seventeen years, and this should still be the first time that someone who didn't even come to the scene has clearly dominated everyone's thoughts on the scene!
Although it was really just a coincidence, one can't help but say that the mere mention of his name completely dominated the scene, giving people an eerie and absurd feeling - he only appeared for half a year, released over a dozen works, and yet his influence on the domestic music scene has already become this strong?
Facing Liu Mingliang's gaze, Liao Liao smiled back.
Then she put away her smile and walked up to the podium with a calm expression.
At this moment, she is really the focus of all attention.
At this moment, she had a faint smile on her face, with an air of ease and calmness, without any sign of excitement or... tears in her eyes. She glanced at the audience seats below, which were actually not very visible. She slowly opened her mouth to say: "Actually, I was originally going to be more honest, honestly winning, honestly giving a winning speech..."
In an instant. Liao's words had just been spoken for two sentences, but many people in the audience already understood her meaning, so at this moment, the audience suddenly became agitated.
She actually... dared to say it!
At this time, he heard a commotion from under the stage. Liao Liao smiled, very generously, and in that generosity, there was also a hint of playfulness.
Then she reached out and tapped on the microphone.
The scene soon fell silent again.
But at the same time, Chen Changsheng and others from Changsheng Records who came to attend the Golden Melody Awards ceremony couldn't help but frown - especially Chen Changsheng, who couldn't help but let out a long sigh and slump back in his chair.
"I knew it... I knew it..." he muttered in dismay.
But at this time, Liao Liao on the stage smiled and continued to say calmly: "I can get the first place in the top ten golden songs. There are many people I want to thank, thank the organizer, thank Huaxia Music Academy, thank Huaxia TV Station, thank Shuntian TV Station, thank Voice of China Radio... Hmm, I know you've all heard it many times before, but what needs to be said must be said, don't worry everyone!"
Suddenly, a burst of applause erupted from below the stage, accompanied by faint laughter.
But the applause rose and fell, and everyone quickly stopped again, their eyes wide with wonder, their ears perked up. They were all focused on Liao Liao, who stood calmly in front of the podium.
Liao Liao put the trophy next to the microphone, smiled faintly and looked down at the audience, saying: "Just before the awards ceremony started, I heard... of course, I know, I guess everyone has heard that rumor. Hmm, no mistake, it's just that rumor that doesn't allow me to mention a certain name, but here, I must clarify this point, the organizer has never told me, my company, my agent or my assistant such words! So, I can be sure that this is definitely a rumor deliberately created by some people! Someone wants to frame the organizer!"
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the audience.
This is truly astonishing!
No one had expected that Liao Liao would not only go against the organizer, insisting on saying the name of that big boy, but she actually flipped the table!
She directly shook out the rumors and even turned around to plead injustice for the organizer!
Everyone present was shocked beyond words when they heard what she had to say!
But soon, many people came back to their senses!
The problem is that when she says this with a smile on her face, and when she flips the table, who can say anything about her? Even if everyone thinks that this rumor is not what the organizer means, at least it should be spread under the organizer's tacit consent. The question is, Liao Liao said this is a rumor, saying that it is framing the organizer, what can the organizer do?
Would the organizers dare to admit they were actually the first spreaders of rumors?
They wouldn't dare even if you killed them!
Li Qian's excuse is very clear: he needs to study and prepare for the college entrance exam, so he doesn't have time. That's it, you don't give him an award, and there are all sorts of reasons that can be found. After all, Li Qian may be strong, but others aren't weak either. Giving the award to someone else is completely justifiable. But if you're going to blacklist him simply because he can't attend the awards ceremony... who do you think you are!
At this time, almost all the people sitting in the audience were the most musically talented and intelligent ones in this circle. So, after hearing Liao Liao's words, it only took a few seconds for many people to understand.
Then, many people looked at Liao Liao in the center of the stage with surprise and admiration, and couldn't help but secretly give her a thumbs up for her bold idea, while subconsciously raising their evaluation of this young girl who was just over twenty years old by several notches!
This girl is not only good at singing, but also beautiful and smart enough!
Think carefully, it was only after arriving at the awards ceremony that I heard that rumor, but what was He Rongqing's reaction? What about Wu Xusuo? And not just them, among so many self-proclaimed clever people on the scene, how many could think of a solution like this? To come up with such a two-birds-with-one-stone method in the blink of an eye, if that's not being clever, what is?
Although in reality, her direct and forceful approach would still offend the organizers and possibly many people behind the scenes, there is absolutely no one who dares to openly say or do anything about it!
Even to the point that, just to wash away their own suspicion, at the upcoming awards ceremony, or even next year's awards ceremony, the organizers not only dare not take any action against Liao Liao, but instead have to proactively give her more awards!
Do you dare not to give awards to Liao Liao, isn't it just proving that Liao Liao has offended you? Isn't it tantamount to admitting that this rumor incident was actually operated by you or with your tacit consent?
At this time, many people in the audience couldn't help but look at the leaders sitting in the front row after withdrawing their gaze from Liao Liao... Everyone was whispering to each other with a smile on their faces!
Few people noticed that at this time, He Runkui's face under the stage had already turned pale!
And the several girls in the Five Elements, except for Xie Bing and Wang Jingxue who were surprised, the other girls couldn't help but feel regretful and complained in their hearts: "How come we didn't think of this before!"
At this time, Liao Liao had already put away his smile, and waited until the audience was slightly quieter before continuing: "But it's precisely because of the existence of those rumors that I want to stand here and sincerely thank that person!"
She paused for a moment, then slowly said: "It was him, with his five works, that helped me step by step to get here. It was he who wrote 'Devotion' for me, and I won the first place in the top ten golden songs! So..."
She leaned in close to the microphone and said with a smile: "Li Qian, thank you!"
Thunderous applause erupted from under the stage.
Not to mention what undercurrents are surging in the pop music scene, nor what some people are secretly planning to do. At least as a musician, especially among the top musicians in this circle, everyone is willing to recognize Li Qian's ability and strength, so they won't be stingy with applause!
Not to mention that all the calculations on and off the stage were broken by Liao Liao's one word, and the cleverness and bravery shown by Liao Liao in this matter are already brilliant enough to make people stand up and applaud!
At this time, everyone thought Liao Liao was going to step down amidst applause, but no.
She continued to stand steadily on the podium.
After the applause subsided, Liao Liao continued: "Finally, I want to say, Li Qian, I'm still waiting for you to make an album for me! This world is so wonderful, how can it be without you?"
After finishing speaking, she slightly moved away from the microphone, bowed slightly and said seriously: "Thank you, thank you everyone!"
Thunderous applause erupted from under the stage once again.
