Chapter 122: Li Qians Battle for Supremacy, First Match!

  The Top 10 Songs have been awarded, and the Golden Melody Awards ceremony has come to an end.

  Of course, for an awards ceremony, the finale is always the climax.

  It's the next three major awards that will truly decide the ultimate winner of the Golden Melody Awards - Best Male Singer, Best Female Singer and Album of the Year!

  Liao Liao, Liu Mingliang and Wu Xingsu stepped down amidst thunderous applause, but the host and award presenters did not immediately take the stage - the entire stage suddenly fell into a vacuum of about half a minute.

  A little closer, many people can see that several people sitting in the front row of the audience seem to be leaning together and whispering to each other for a while. Then one of them quickly ran to the host's waiting area on one side of the stage and told the hosts who were presenting the awards ceremony something. After that, the hosts quickly went on stage.

  Many people in the audience looked at the host on stage with expectation, but soon they were disappointed.

  The host smiled and briefly commented on this year's top 10 golden songs, but it was all nonsense. As for Liao Liao's performance just now, not a word was mentioned. Then, they announced the award presenter for the Best Male Singer of the Year to come on stage - many people understood at that time, it seems that the previous segment of Liao Liao will definitely be edited out in the later broadcast.

  It's actually not a big deal, the music industry is where geniuses and weirdos are most abundant. In the past decade or so, there have been several minor surprises at the Golden Melody Awards ceremonies. For the sake of maintaining stability and harmony, as well as upholding the absolute authority of the organizers, those minor surprises were clearly edited out in the editing room. By the time they were presented to the national audience, the scene of awarding and receiving had become perfectly harmonious, leaving only pure gratitude.

  Then, last year's Best Female Singer winner, Zhang Zhen, and a leader from China Voice Broadcasting Station, took the stage in their finest attire. Before revealing the answer, there was first a round of usual chatter...

  On stage, two people interacted. In the Sony Records seating area, Sony Records' president Watanabe and Yi subtly shifted their bodies. Leaning towards music director Xie Mingyuan sitting next to him, he said in fluent Chinese that was completely free of any accent, "Runqing just lost points."

  Xie Ming nodded and slightly turned his body, also speaking in a low voice: "Don't worry. If Xinda does this, we're definitely not the only ones who are unhappy! Hmph, what's called being too clever for one's own good? This is it!"

  Watanabe Kazuichi burst out laughing and said: "If Liao didn't expose them, they might have gotten away with it!"

  Xie Mingyuan thought for a moment, nodded his head. After a pause, he smiled and said: "I'll definitely get back to Changsheng Records about this! It seems that Liao Liao is smart enough and tough enough, she's definitely not a fool! As long as the message gets through her to Li Qian, Xinda will be shooting himself in the foot!"

  Watanabe thought for a moment and shook his head with a smile. "I don't think it's necessary! Although Longsheng Records is small, Chen Longsheng is not a simple person! If he can't figure it out in a short time, it's only because he doesn't know much about the three major companies, but if you give him a day to think about it, he'll definitely understand! Once he understands, won't Liao Liao also understand? If we pass on the message, it would be too deliberate!"

  Xie Ming thought for a moment and nodded with a smile.

  Also, in the past, Changsheng Records was too small. With small arms and legs, Chen Changsheng didn't even have the qualifications to play with the three major record companies, and he wasn't very familiar with some slightly higher-end struggles. But this time, Xinda suddenly did something so excessive that with Chen Changsheng's intelligence, it would only take him one day of effort to figure everything out.

  Xie Mingyuan nodded and stopped talking.

  At this time, in fact, although Watanabe Kazuo and Xie Mingyuan thought they had already looked up to Chen Changsheng, it was clear that they still underestimated the little boss who killed his way into the music circle with bare hands.

  Just as Liao Liao was about to blow up with a few words, perhaps the psychology of a broken jar was at work, or perhaps Liao's words had reminded him to some extent. In short, after calming down slightly and thinking back on today's events, Chen Changsheng's mind began to clear up.

  Does the Golden Melody Awards organizer want to ban Li Jian?

  Don't be kidding!

  Li Jian is undoubtedly the most recognized figure in the domestic music scene in 1995, and there must be people who don't like him in this circle. Even if he didn't attend the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, it would definitely make some people on the organizing committee unhappy. However, to say that the entire domestic music scene dislikes him, or that the Golden Melody Awards is so petty that they would intentionally suppress him or even blacklist him just because he didn't attend the awards ceremony, that's really going too far.

  For the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards, this kid may not be very face-giving, but after all, he is just a big boy. An evaluation of "not understanding things" is inevitable. If you don't come, those awards that should be given to you will not be given to you either, and it's also inevitable. However, that's all there is to it.

  Li Qian's works, which were created and popularized in the market last year, whether it was light rock urban love songs, folk songs, Chinese style, or folk songs like "Farewell" and "Moscow Suburbs at Night", are either pioneering or extremely expanding on existing types, with a strong classic attribute. For an academic school that has always been dedicated to promoting and encouraging the expansion of Chinese music styles, how can they possibly be killed by a small matter?

  Maybe some people inside the Golden Melody Awards don't like Li Jian very much, but those people are definitely not mainstream. Even if they don't like Li Jian, since there's no grudge between them, just because of dislike, it wouldn't make them take action to do such a thing.

  At most, when they sensed the rumors, the Golden Melody Awards organizers just chose to ignore and not suppress them.

  As for the entire music circle, Li Qian is a legendary figure. The songs he wrote and the albums he produced suddenly took away everyone's attention, but people in the industry understand that he didn't take anyone's job, on the contrary, his appearance opened up several new territories for the domestic music scene - to some extent, he showed many people the way, and the new paths he pioneered also gave many people a golden rice bowl!

  So, Li Qian, such a big boy, while showing off his absolute musical talent, you say that there are people in the circle who will envy him, that's true, some people will be jealous of him, that's also true, some people will dislike him, that's also possible, but if you say someone hates him, even to the point of resorting to evil means to suppress him, then it's basically impossible!

  To put it bluntly, in one sentence - whether it's the domestic music industry or the Golden Melody Awards organizers, none of them are so petty!

  So, the reason why some people make trouble is because they see benefits in it!

  So, who is behind all this trouble?

  It's simple, just see who benefits from it!

  Those who have the qualifications and courage to stir up trouble at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony are limited, mainly from the academic sector, government sector, TV and radio stations, which are unlikely to take action. The remaining ones are naturally the three major record companies in the industry.

  As for the three major companies, Sony has always been ready to poach Li Qian at any time. Although Chen Changsheng is unaware of this, currently, Li Qian and He Runyi also have a cooperative relationship. If they want to dig a hole for Li Qian, as a heavyweight artist under Sony, He Runyi will also be put in a difficult position.

  You know, for Sony Records, the name He Runqing represents a profit of 10 million yuan per year! How could Sony possibly afford to let He Runqing's reputation be damaged?

  On the other hand, Huage's company's Wu Xing Wu Su was actually brought up by Li Qian. Perhaps getting rid of Li Qian wouldn't be a psychological burden for them, but would they dig a hole and throw their newly cultivated Wu Xing Wu Su, who is about to make a fortune, into it? Unless Huang Dazhong has gone crazy!

  So, there is only one record left, which is Xin Da.

  Among the three major record companies, or among all the major record companies, Chen Changsheng was of course very familiar with the open and secret struggles between them. As he himself was also in the midst of it, he naturally understood the theory that "the enemy's loss is my gain".

  Take a look, just one rumor spread like this, He Runkui dare not mention Li Qian again. The evaluation in the circle will immediately drop by one level, let alone whether she will offend Li Qian because of this? By the way, how good can Li Qian be to Sony Records?

  As for Huage, Wu Xuan's reputation will also be affected. If we consider the rumors about Wu Xuan's next album that have been circulating quietly in the circle, then when this matter comes out, won't the rift between Li Qian and Huage Records become even bigger when Wu Xuan's new album is finally released?

  With just this one move, two of the three major domestic record companies were directly eliminated!

  When Li Qian wanted to officially debut, when it was time to compete with Li Qian and try to pull him over to his side, wouldn't Shinda Records save a lot of effort? And also gain more control?

  Even from Chen Changsheng's perspective, Liao Liao is now very popular, but her record contract only has one album left, and her management contract also has less than a year left - does Xindah have the intention of poaching Liao Liao?

  Liao Liao and Li Qian's relationship is so close, she just said that she was waiting for Li Qian to help her with her next album. If Liao Liao fulfills her contract and jumps ship, Li Qian's opinion will definitely have a great impact on her. At that time, Sony and Huaguo will lose points, and the three major record companies will only have one Shengda left. Which other record company can compete with them?

  ***

  How about we continue with three more explosions today?

  The gap with the previous one is only 20 or 30 votes. I'll work hard to burst out, everyone please vote more, okay? (.)
