Chapter 112 Rumor

To be serious, no matter what career a person does, once he has reached a certain level, there really is no one who does not value awards at all—especially those who are engaged in literature and art.

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. This saying is not just a matter of words.

In ancient society, when you talk about the value of force, it is simple, just pull it out and fight it, and whoever wins is of course the best. In modern society, if you are engaged in sports, if you can run 100 meters in seven seconds, then you can run in seven seconds. Maybe other people can’t run as fast as you no matter how hard you try. If you can jump to a certain level, others It is impossible to do it in a lifetime—they can all be directly quantified, and there is a world record hanging above their heads.

But literature and art have their own strengths and advantages. In fact, once they reach a certain height, it only depends on the size of the audience. There is no real sense of who is higher and who is lower. Therefore, the selection of awards is more meaningful.

Therefore, in modern society, there are Nobel Prizes in literature, Pulitzer Prizes, Grammy Awards in music, and Oscars in movies. In China, there are also Golden Melody Awards in music and Great Wall Awards in movies.

If the best-selling list and the Golden Melody on-demand list prove the popularity of a singer among the general public, then the Golden Melody Awards will prove the word-of-mouth of a song, an album, and a singer in the music and literary circles. To some extent, it basically represents your artistic level.

Only the former, no matter how popular you are, you will always feel half a head shorter than others inexplicably in the celebrity position in the circle. If there is only the latter, then the word applause or not is enough to make any singer distressed. Only when the former and the latter are integrated, can a singer be considered a real success, and he can be confident wherever he goes and whoever he faces.

From Li Qian's point of view, of course he also hopes to win the award, and if he can win the award, it's not a matter of what honor or position he won for himself, for him More importantly, this will represent the world he is currently in, and has given recognition to these works he brought from another time and space.

This is especially important to him.

But to be honest, he knows that he is only seventeen years old this year, and he will be eighteen years old in the next year. First, he is really young, and second, his qualifications are very low. Although the works must be good works, even for this In terms of time and space, it is quite pioneering, but in the past year, there must have been many good works in the domestic music scene. Therefore, in his own opinion, although there are a lot of nominations, in the end The chances of winning the prize are not too high.

Of course, Li Qian is not in a hurry - there are really many good works in his hands!

It is precisely because of this confidence in his heart that, facing so many nominations for the Golden Melody Awards this time, although Li Qian also had expectations in his heart, he really didn't take it seriously.

So when Cao Zhan, a veteran in the music industry, analyzed the chances of winning each of the awards with him one by one, he was a little absent-minded.

But, um, Lao Cao is a member of the Golden Melody Awards Selection Committee after all. Although according to the selection mechanism of the Golden Melody Awards, members like him should avoid suspicion. Once one of his works is selected, he will withdraw from the final awards stage. Eligible to participate in all selections from beginning to end. For example, this year, Lao Cao wrote a work for Zhang Chang and was nominated for the Top Ten Golden Songs. He went home directly after participating in the selection of the nomination stage yesterday morning. However, as a senior person, many of his speculations are still very credible, and they are roughly similar to Li Qian's own speculations.

For example, in the top ten golden songs, although Liao Liao has been popular for half a year, and there are still a few songs on the golden song on-demand list, but the three songs "Persistence", "Wild Flowers" and "Cheers, Friends" are not worth watching. At the same time, they were nominated, but because of the similar styles, in the end, if they enter the top ten golden songs, they can only choose one of them. Unless the selection committee of the Golden Melody Awards is brainwashed as a whole, it is impossible for the same person to make a second song with the same style. Get top ten hits.

And considering the audience and market response of those three songs, nine times out of ten, "Persistence" with a bigger aura will become a representative work.

Of course, the principle of only choosing one of three works with similar styles is the same. Even if you Liao Liao are so popular that you can directly seal the title with just one album, it will be difficult to get the second place in the top ten golden songs, even if " My Hometown I'm Passionately Loved must have positive energy, and it will definitely be loved by the selection committee members who have come from the era of popular folk songs, but "Persistence" and "Hometown My Passionate Love" are top-notch That is, choose one of the two.

Therefore, it is almost certain that Liao Liao won one of the top ten golden songs, but the second one is almost hopeless, no matter how good your song is, how popular, even pioneering, or even enough to kill other singers' works use. In the opinion of the Golden Melody Award selection committee, one of the top ten golden songs is already enough praise.

Then, it is conceivable that Liao Liao's "Unfinished Love" probably has no chance at all. On the contrary, He Runqing's single "Half Pot Yarn"-even if it is just to affirm the new Chinese style, After suppressing Liao Liao's "Unfinished Love", the chances of He Runqing's "Half Pot Sha" will suddenly increase!

As for the five elements and my elements...

Well, I'm afraid even these girls have to admit that the road they have taken, idol, dynamic, youthful, fast singing... It is really difficult to please the academics of the Golden Melody Award Selection Committee.

The song "Sister, Sister, Stand Up" is too popular, it is very popular, but even so, if you want to win the top ten golden songs, you can only say that it is only about five or five. On the contrary, it is "Farewell". Although the singing skills of Wu Xing Wu Su made many insiders complain, but regardless of their singing skills, this song must be enough to impress the judges of the Golden Melody Awards.

Therefore, they either won't get any of them, or most likely they can only get "Farewell".

As for the best album, Cao Zhan said confidently that the possibility of the album "Liao Liao" winning the best album of the year is more than 70%. Because in the past 1995, in terms of the maturity of the work, market popularity, and word-of-mouth in the circle, Liao Liao's album was almost completely unrivaled.

As for Liao Liao's Best Female Singer of the Year...according to Cao Zhan, unless there is something wrong with the Golden Melody Awards, the probability of Liao Liao winning the award in the end is even greater than 90%!

In the second half of 1995, Liao Liao was so brilliant that people felt that she was the only star left in the entire domestic music scene!

Of course, as for Li Qian's best lyric and best composition... In Cao Zhan's words, even if the song "Farewell" wins both awards, no one can say otherwise, but Li Qian Qian Qian's hope of winning is only half at best.

Of course, Cao Zhan couldn't help feeling sorry for Li Qian, and couldn't help but refute those so-called tacit rules that were boring and rogue one by one. However, Li Qian still just laughed at this.

The selection of awards is a game of the whole circle. If there is no shady scene, what is it called an award?

... ... ...

After sitting with Cao Zhan for most of the morning, Li Qian and Wang Jinglu said goodbye and left around noon.

In the end, the two were eating rice noodles at the rice noodle shop they had been to twice, but Li Qian received a call from Qi Jie.

Within a few days of arriving in Shuntian Mansion, she had already called to talk about the contract with Changsheng Records. Finally, the contract was finished and only Li Qian had to sign it. In fact, the main task of her trip to the north was considered complete. Well, the reason why she stayed in Shuntian Mansion was that she used Liao Liao's help to get rid of her identity as Li Qian's agent, so she didn't give Li Qian much attention in the past few days because she had nothing to do. Called.

When the call was connected, Li Qian had just finished eating a bowl of rice noodles, and was chewing the rice noodles in his mouth while wiping his mouth.

On the phone, Qi Jie's style was as concise as the previous few times, and said: "There are two things in total. The first thing is that although I have no chance to hear it myself, according to Liao Liao, recently in the music circle , There are some rumors that are not good for you, and it is said that many people say it, and they all say it with their noses and eyes."

Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then laughed, "My rumors? Hehe... Tell me, what did they say?"

On the other end of the phone, Qi Jie said: "There are many, all kinds, and some people with a little brain would not believe it, for example, you plagiarized, you said you stole songs, you asked gunmen to compose for you, etc. , although there are still people talking about it, but Liao Liao said, don’t pay attention to this at all, only fools will believe it, and you have so many works, and you will come up with more works in the future, especially when her new album is released. , this statement is self-defeating. But there are some..."

After wiping his mouth, Li Qian's expression gradually calmed down, and he said casually, "Tell me, it's just a rumor, are you afraid that I will be shocked if I hear it?"

After hesitating for a while, Qi Jie said: "Some people say that you are arrogant and conceited. You have been in the industry for half a year, but you have never been to Shuntian Mansion. Even if you are making an album for Wu Xing Wu Su, you have to let the people from Hua Ge Records take the initiative to run." Go to Jinan Mansion to accommodate you. Some people say... that you are greedy for money, just because you made Liao Liao popular, and you became famous for a while, you opened your mouth to the lion of Huage Records, and you want to leave an album at once. Fifteenth of the royalties, and it is even said that some people called on the major record companies to boycott you."

The front is fine, but upon hearing the last point, Li Qian almost burst out laughing.

"Boycott me?"
