Chapter 142 142: Sissi, your makeup looks really nice today.

The Golden Melody Award, which was held in 1990, is the highest honor in the Chinese music industry. Countless musicians want to win this award.

Jay Chou is one of them.

In his previous life, Jay Lun took his grandmother to attend the 14th Golden Melody Awards Ceremony in 2003. His third album "Eight Dimensions of Space" was shortlisted for five awards, but was not accepted in the end.

Afterwards, media reporters kept asking his grandmother what she thought of Jay Chou not winning the award... This was so shameless.

Then in the album "Qilixiang" released in August 2004, he specially wrote a song "Grandma" to recall the scene at that time.

Fortunately, I didn't win the award at that time.

If it wins a certain award, maybe no one will hear the song "Grandma"... Looking at it this way, do we have to thank the judges for the golden song?

Xu Ning knew that he had not released a single album, so logically speaking, it was unlikely that he would receive this nomination.

"10,000 Reasons" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" are just for making money and sound good, but their quality is not very high.

Xu Ning hung up Fang Wenshan's phone, then found Yu Zhengxiang's number and dialed it. The call was connected, and Yu Zhengxiang laughed and said:

"Xiao Xu, I was just about to call you...you were nominated for the Golden Melody Award, did you know?"

"Mr. Yu, what's going on?" Xu Ning didn't know about this, and he didn't tell himself about it when he signed up!

"Last time we were drinking, I said I wanted to sign you up... Maybe you were too drunk to remember... Well, I just tried to sign up."

Yu Zhengxiang sat in the office and laughed and said: "I thought I wouldn't be shortlisted, so I didn't tell you, but yesterday Mr. Wang from the mobile company intervened in this matter..."

After listening for a few minutes, he roughly figured out the whole story. First, Yu Zhengxiang signed up, and then the mobile company intervened and forced Xu Ning to take over.

because,

"Ten Thousand Reasons" is now the leader in the mobile ring tones business, killing all other songs.

In less than a year, the number of downloads has exceeded 10 million, and it is estimated that by next year, it will reach 20 million.

You know, in his previous life, Zheng Yuan's "Ten Thousand Reasons" had a total of 120 million downloads and made crazy money.

In addition, no mainland singer has won the Golden Melody Award for two years, which is not conducive to expanding its influence.

So this time, they followed the trend, sent a favor to China Mobile, and nominated Xu Ning for two awards.

One is the Best Singer Award, and the other is the Best New Singer Award... If I win, it will most likely be the Best Newcomer Award.

But what Xu Ning didn't know was that the Best Newcomer Award in his previous life was won by Lin Junjie, and it was not easy for him to win this award.

Time flies by.

Zhang Yimou summoned all the actors to Huairou Film and Television Base to shoot the indoor scenes of "House of Flying Daggers".

morning,

As soon as the opening ceremony ended, a female reporter from the Beijing Entertainment News blocked him with a microphone:

"Hello Xu Ning... Among the nominees for the 15th Golden Melody Award, you are the only singer who has not released an album. What do you think of this matter?"

"Thank you to the Golden Melody Jury for their love. I am also flattered by this. Maybe the judges like to listen to my "Ten Thousand Reasons"... Haha, just kidding."

No matter how hard the female reporter tried to make things difficult, he never answered directly and just talked about some innocuous things.

Finally, the female reporter asked again: "I heard that your new album will be recorded soon. Is this true?"

Xu Ning nodded and said with a smile: "We will start recording next week. It is estimated that the album will be released to everyone in early 2004."

Female reporter: "Thank you very much. I wish your album will sell well. I will be the first to support it when the time comes."

Xu Ning: "Thank you very much!"

After waving goodbye to her, he entered the studio, where he was preparing to shoot the last scene of "House of Flying Daggers".

There were very few indoor scenes, and it took Zhang Yimou only three days to complete them, but it cost more than three million to build the scenes.

Immediately afterwards, the crew flew to Chongqing and filmed for two or three days in the Tea Mountain and Bamboo Sea, and the film was officially completed.

But at the closing banquet,

Liu Dehua and Xu Ning received a call one after another. The caller was Anita Mui's assistant.

"Aunt Mei will hold a farewell concert on November 15th. Let's go there together then." Liu Dehua said lonely.

Xu Ning had actually known about this for a long time, but it was still a bit regretful to hear the news at this moment.

The last time he met Aunt Mei, he was still deeply impressed. At the banquet, Anita Mui took good care of his younger brother.

It is a pity for many people that such a beautiful person passed away like this.

In the early morning of December 30, 2003, she would pass away forever... as if following in the footsteps of her friend Leslie Cheung.

The two were in the same year,

Went to another country together.

On the night of the farewell concert, Xu Ning was invited to the stage to sing a duet with her, "Laughing at the Changes".

After singing the song, they hugged each other.

Aunt Mei patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't feel sorry for me. You should cherish every day now and live your life well."

…

…

After returning from Xiangjiang, Xu Ning devoted himself wholeheartedly to the recording of the album. Anita Mui was right when she said that you should cherish every day.

At present, the album name has been finalized, it is called "Episode", and the production and distribution company is still Feile.

Before the song was recorded, Yu Zhengxiang had already spent money to open up all channels, including major platforms such as CCTV and Mango TV.

In addition, we also contacted more than 100 radio stations across Asia to simultaneously broadcast the title song "Nocturne".

This battle,

It was even more powerful than when Jay Chou played "In the Name of the Father" simultaneously on 50 radio stations in Asia in July 2003.

In Beijing Blues Recording Studio,

Music producer Sanbao was sitting behind the monitoring station and putting on headphones. The sound engineer next to him slowly pushed the recording switch and signaled the recording to start.

After an exciting melody, Xu Ning sang the first lyrics of "Nocturne":

"A bunch of bloodthirsty ants"

"Attracted to carrion"

"..."

Sanbao was invited by Xu Ning to be the producer, but he didn't expect that he would be more responsible than Xu Ning himself.

"Nocturne", as the title song of the album, was recorded for a whole morning at the request of Sanbao.

And, it's not done yet.

Everyone finished lunch at noon.

Sanbao returned to the recording studio early. After listening to the demo several times, he felt something was wrong and called Xu Ning to record it again.

In this way, after a week, I finally finished all the album matters.

Next, all we have to do is shoot some MVs. The MV shooting progress is very fast, and Xu Ning’s elite [directing] ability can easily handle it.

Until mid-December.

Cai Yinong from Sugar Man Film and Television personally went to the capital to invite Xu Ning to Hengdian to film "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

He took Xiao Yueyue, Chen Yu, and Cai Yinong to take a plane to Shanghai to change trains.

When Aunt Liu met Liu Yifei's mother and daughter in Shanghai again, when she saw Xu Ning, she returned to her cold demeanor.

The difference between this person before and after him is huge.

If Xu Ning had not had an in-depth communication with her, he would never have known how enthusiastic and proactive she was behind the scenes.

Several people got into the nanny car together. Xu Ning and Liu Yifei sat in the same row, and Liu Xiaoli sat in the passenger seat.

From the back, you could just see Aunt Liu's side face. Since the heating in the car was turned on high, Liu Xiaoli took off her down jacket and only wore a tight-fitting black bottoming shirt.

Looking at it from the back row, Xu Ning truly realized what it means to "look like a ridge when viewed from the side and a peak when viewed from the side".

He wanted to shout in his heart: "Aunt Liu... can you put on some clothes? I don't want to see it in front of so many people."

Perhaps feeling his gaze, Aunt Liu turned her body to the side, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

After being out of sight, Xu Ning finally had the energy to laugh and joke with Sissi: "Sissi, the light makeup you put on today looks very good."

Liu Yifei touched her face and laughed: "Really? I just learned it a few days ago. I will often draw like this in the future, okay?"
