Chapter 68 Sun Nan Presents Awards, Shrimp and Pork Heart
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, guests and even the camera, Zhou Yi, who always had a smile on his face, gave Sun Yanzi and Cheng Hao a high-five and hugged his parents before leaving. seat--
As he strutted with his head held high, his slender body looked particularly tall against the backdrop of the theater lights.
"Congratulations, Zhou Yi."
Zhu Xun, who was standing here tonight as the representative of the CCTV host, personally handed a trophy shaped like a satellite to the man's hand and expressed his heartfelt congratulations.
The other two hosts David Wu and Ke Lan also applauded him.
"Thank you, Sister Zhu Xun."
Taking advantage of the situation, he stood in the position where Zhu Xun and Ke Lan moved out of the way. Zhou Yi, who was holding the trophy in one hand and raising the angle of the microphone with the other, lowered his head slightly——
"Thank you to CCTV, thank you to ChannelV, and thank you to Sister Zhu Xun for awarding me this award."
After thanking the organizers including CCTV as usual, Zhou Yi pursed his lips and looked at the big names in the music industry in the audience. He felt somewhat strange in his heart: "Of course, I also want to thank my fans and friends for their support of me. Thank you for your support and love.”
Although he wanted to be flirty, considering that this was his first time on this occasion, Zhou Yi still resisted the desire to talk flirtatiously in his heart.
In the CCTV territory at the beginning of the millennium, he, a newcomer, still had to be more serious, and there were still many leaders sitting in the audience.
On the other hand, his fans who bought tickets and entered the stadium were as happy as anything in the audience, especially after seeing Zhou Yi holding up the trophy and waving to them, the cheers were even louder.
This is Zhou Yi's first award since his debut.
Nineteen years old, in the traditional concept of contemporary Chinese people, he is still a teenager at this age.
Become famous at a young age.
Zhou Yi stood in the light with a bright smile and a high-spirited look. Even those in the Hong Kong circle would give a thumbs up and say "You are handsome".
A high-spirited young man.
The CCTV leaders in the audience were also very satisfied.
Look at this figure, this temperament, this face, who said that the mainland is not as good as Hong Kong and Taiwan?
A large part of the reason why CCTV created this mainland pop award is because the Hong Kong and Taiwan awards are too strong and there are hidden unspoken rules of not accepting or discriminating against mainland singers.
It has been held for six times before. Although the winners may seem to be enjoying themselves, the Haolai Award is also a mainland award and can give mainland singers a warm comfort.
The emergence of Zhou Yi has exponentially increased the gold content of mainland singers in this year's seventh list.
After taking the trophy off the stage, he played with it for his parents who were already smiling from ear to ear. Then Zhou Yi sat down again and watched Zhu Xun and Ke Lan on the stage announcing the second most popular song. The winner of the Welcome Song Award - Cai Yilin from Baodao.
It's just that she didn't have Zhou Yi's super standard treatment of setting the tone with a series of opening words. She simply said her name, followed by the third award-winning song.
After awarding the most popular song awards to three consecutive songs, the two winners except Zhou Yi walked backstage to start performing.
"Strange, why don't you prepare for the performance?"
Seeing the lights dimming, Cai Yilin, wrapped in a big blue cotton-padded jacket, performed her award-winning sweet song on the stage. Cheng Hao, who felt strange, whispered into Zhou Yi's ear and asked.
"Qian Jiang told me that my performance was not in the opening, but in the middle part, together with Wang Lihong and Xie Tingfeng."
Through the darkness, Zhou Yi vaguely pointed at the two groups of people not far away from him.
Cheng Hao suddenly understood.
One of them is a representative singer from Baodao, and the other is a representative singer from Xiangjiang. They haven't performed yet, so Zhou Yi naturally can't play his trump card too early.
"How many prizes do you have tonight?"
"I don't know. I can definitely win the Most Popular Song Award and the Best Newcomer Award. There is also the Mainland's Best Singer-Songwriter Award that no one can win except me."
Zhou Yi counted on his fingers, covered his mouth with his hands and whispered: "The only variable is that theoretically, it should be the award originally intended for Sun Nan."
As he spoke, he still cast his eyes on Sun Nan, who was sitting not far in front of him.
Hearing this, Cheng Hao was surprised: "How many can you get? This is your first time participating, right?"
Given the culture of ranking based on seniority in the Mainland, isn't Zhou Yi's limelight somewhat contrary to common sense?
How many seniors who debuted early in the Mainland are still counting on this award to increase their qualifications?
"Qian Jiang said that he was surprised when he received the notice from the organizing committee. He guessed that Xie Tingfeng's popularity after attending the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year stimulated some people in the mainland who were unhappy with the superior treatment of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I was in the second half of the year The only mainland singer who can compete with it.”
Although Sun Nan is strong, he is still old.
Take a look at the male singers launched by the younger generation in Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are all in their twenties, and how popular Xie Tingfeng has become.
Sun Nan, an old gangster, would lose his face if he got involved in the mainland, not to mention that he couldn't beat Xie Tingfeng.
All we can do is stay in a quarrel, which is even more embarrassing.
Considering that Zhu Xun specially added an introduction when introducing himself at the beginning, Zhou Yi figured out something about it.
However, whether it is exactly what he thinks depends on how many subsequent awards he can get.
Facts have proved that Zhou Yi's speculation was somewhat accurate.
"Best Newcomer Award: Sun Yanzi."
"Best Newcomer Award: Zhou Yi!"
After sitting in the audience for less than 20 minutes, Zhou Yi heard his name from Zhu Xun again. What surprised him was that the award presenter was Sun Nan, the current top singer in the mainland? ? ?
He was not here to receive the award?
Why was he here to present the award?
"Congratulations, Zhou Yi, you did a great job."
"Congratulations, Sun Yanzi."
Sun Nan, who seemed to be approachable, had a smile on his face and personally handed over the best newcomer awards for men and women to the two newcomers in front of him.
"Thank you, Brother Sun Nan."
Zhou Yi thanked Liu Huan, who was sitting as steady as a mountain, after a subtle glance.
This was very interesting.
Looking at the previous awards ceremonies, even if there was an award presentation, it should be an old senior like Liu Huan who was no longer on the same track as pop singers.
Sun Nan was in his prime, how did he get to the award presentation seat this time?
Sun Yanzi, who got the only trophy tonight, didn't know what Zhou Yi and Sun Nan were thinking, but he happily said thank you and went backstage to prepare for the performance.
Zhou Yi's butt was not warm after he got off the stage. Not long after Sun Yanzi finished singing, he heard his name on the stage again-
Wu Zongxian and the co-awarding guests Zhang Yimou and Tang Jili gave him another award.
"Best Album Video Award: "Love Heaven and Earth", Li Ming. Congratulations Li Ming!"
"Best Album Video Award: "Flower Field Mistake", Zhou Yi! Congratulations Zhou Yi!"
Zhou Yi, who received the trophy from the old man who didn't have so many wrinkles, looked at the crowd below the stage and didn't know how to give a speech.
This is the official CCTV trying hard to gild him.
Sure enough, after he left the stage with his third trophy tonight, about twenty minutes later, he went on stage again.
"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation: Wang Lihong."
"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation: Xie Tingfeng."
"The best singer-songwriter of the new generation - let us congratulate Zhou Yi!"
In the audience, the fans who didn't know what was going on were almost shouting their throats crazy.
Sun Nan, who was applauding from the audience, had a professional fake smile on his face, but he clenched his teeth secretly, and his eyes were a little dim.
From the moment he knew that he would be the award presenter tonight, he didn't have any luck in his mind. The honor that once belonged to him on the stage is no longer exclusive to him.
Letting him personally present the newcomer award to Zhou Yi is the last dignity that the official allows him to retain, as a senior.
Fuck!
You robbed my resources, and now you want to rob my position!
You are only nineteen years old, why are you in such a hurry? !
Sun Nan was unwilling, but facing Zhou Yi's surging offensive, he had no ability to resist at all.
He could only walk down the throne in embarrassment and be a spectator applauding from the audience.
January 17, 2001, 9:30 p.m.
The position that once symbolized the top singer in the mainland music scene was officially handed over from Sun Nan to Zhou Yi-
"The Most Popular Male Singer Award at the 7th Global Chinese Music Chart: Zhou Yi!!!"
Zhou Yi, who won five trophies from the Most Popular Song, Best Newcomer to Most Popular Male Singer, Best Album Video, and Best Singer-songwriter with the album "Zhou Yi", became the biggest winner on this night and completed his last transformation.
The 19-year-old Zhou Yi faced the light, and under the gaze of his parents, Sun Yanzi, Cheng Hao and others behind him, he surpassed Sun Nan, Naying, Tengger, Yuquan, Pushu and others, and officially wore the crown of the top singer in the mainland music scene!
