Chapter 184 Full of drama
From the award ceremony to now, this man who has never stood on the podium, but whose name has been mentioned n times, is finally his turn!
Fans of Ye Zhiqiu who watched the show suddenly became excited.
"Finally, I can win a prize!"
"It shouldn't be a big problem, right? The phenomenal song "The Wind Rises" has won so many awards."
"Not necessarily, there is still competition. Although Fan Wenguang's "Follow the Wind" has average market performance, its arrangement is very high-end and has been praised by many people in the industry."
"Um... the guest presenting the award is Huang Xishan?"
"If you don't understand, just ask, what's wrong with Huang Xishan? He's a 'genius' in the music industry."
"Haha, there's no problem with my qualifications. I wonder if the guy upstairs doesn't know, but he and Ye Zhiqiu had a quarrel before."
On the stage, Huang Xishan, who has gray and semi-long hair, is wearing a traditional black robe and black-rimmed glasses. He really has a gentle and elegant atmosphere.
The shots of the five nominees on the screen kept switching. Except for Ye Zhiqiu, they all had faces in their thirties or forties. Ye Zhiqiu's appearance really stood out among them.
Huang Xishan on the stage took the envelope containing the name of the winner, and glanced at Ye Zhiqiu vaguely behind his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes full of resentment.
"I used to receive this award by myself, so being a presenter is really a bit unaccustomed to me."
While opening the envelope, Huang Xishan joked in a slightly blunt Mandarin. Many people at the scene gave him face and cooperated, and there was a burst of good-natured laughter.
Huang Xishan took the card out of the envelope, glanced down at the name on the card, and looked surprised.
Well... the acting of this "surprise" was very poor, but it still succeeded in arousing everyone's curiosity.
Who is it? Can Ye Zhiqiu win this award?
"The winner of [Best Composer of the Year] is——"
Not surprisingly, Huang Xishan stopped at this point and moved his gaze back and forth to the audience, seeming to be looking for the winner.
After searching for several seconds, Huang Xishan stopped looking, and the direction he was looking at was Ye Zhiqiu!
Could it be that Ye Zhiqiu won the award? Everyone who caught Huang Xishan's little move speculated.
The corners of Huang Xishan's mouth curved and he raised his voice.
"Ye Zhiqiu..."
Ye Zhiqiu won the award!
After reading these three words, Ding Jie, who was behind Ye Zhiqiu, stood up from her seat with excitement. The Huahai Entertainment team members backstage also had happy faces.
However, Huang Xishan dragged out his unfinished words and made a 180° reversal, pouring cold water on everyone who was excited.
"Ye Zhiqiu... is not the winner, which is a pity."
Ding Jie's smiling face froze. The Huahai Entertainment team members in the background had just raised their hands halfway, and the "congratulations" barrage sent by netizens with fast hands in the live broadcast room came to an abrupt end.
"Wow!" There was an uproar at the scene.
Huang Xishan's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "The atmosphere is too tense, just kidding, Mr. Ye is an excellent newcomer, he shouldn't blame me."
The camera showed Ye Zhiqiu sitting in his seat. Ye Zhiqiu had a faint look of surprise in his eyes and shrugged.
On the other hand, Yu Caiwei next to him had a cold expression, and Ding Jie behind him had an even more angry expression.
Huang Xishan turned his eyes back to the card and read loudly again: "The winner of the [Best Composition Award of the Year] is - Fan Wenguang's "Dream with the Wind"! Congratulations!"
On the other side of the seat, a middle-aged man's face was stunned at first, before he could react to the reversal. Then he turned into ecstasy and stood up to celebrate with the people around him.
When Fan Wenguang went on stage to receive the award, applause broke out, but the atmosphere in the venue was a bit subtle.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Huang Xishan did it deliberately just now. His purpose was to make Ye Zhiqiu look embarrassed!
Just imagine, this award is extremely precious. When you think you have won the award and are excited to celebrate, you are suddenly told that you have not won the award. Just kidding. What an embarrassing scene it is.
Fortunately, Ye Zhiqiu's calmness from beginning to end was not an act, and he did not stand up so quickly. Fortunately, he did not make a fool of himself.
Many people present knew about the feud between Huang Xishan and Ye Zhiqiu, but in any case, the situation in which Huang Xishan's "joke" was made was extremely inappropriate.
Simply relying on his status as a senior in the music industry, it is blatantly disgusting!
Being talented does not necessarily mean being virtuous. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "talented people are not virtuous". Huang Xishan can be said to have vividly interpreted this term.
The expressions on the faces of everyone present were extremely strange. Huang Xishan once again proved his reputation as a "small-minded" person in the circle, but this move was not unscrupulous.
He already said that he was "joking". If Ye Zhiqiu retaliated angrily or scolded his senior in public, he would be accused of being "not generous enough".
There are many cases of bullying in the entertainment industry. Often at this time, even though you feel as sick as if you swallowed a fly, you can only swallow it.
At this time, many viewers watching the live broadcast had already cursed.
"Fuck! This old guy is so sinister!"
"What a fart joke, it was obviously intentional!"
"You can understand the quality of Huang Xishan if you look at his previous deeds."
"Haha, you are still using these low-level methods at your age. It seems that Ye Zhiqiu's last sentence of 'Who is Huang Xishan?' got him off guard."
"I think it's mainly because of jealousy. Rumor has it that Wang Nanchen ghost-wrote the last few songs in "Sing a New Voice", but he lost them all to Ye Zhiqiu."
"No matter what, I feel sick when I see his so handsome face!"
After the [Best Composer of the Year] award, there is a sister award, [Best Lyricist of the Year].
For these two awards, the same person is often the presenter. Huang Xishan is still standing on the stage...
First, the five nominated songs.
"Ye Zhiqiu: "The Most Romantic Thing"!"
"..."
"..."
Ye Zhiqiu was selected again, and this time, the selected song was "The Most Romantic Thing".
"The Most Romantic Thing" was sung by Ye Zhiqiu in the "Fireworks" themed issue of "Sing a New Voice" at the end of December, and it happened to meet the qualifications for selection.
In fact, in terms of lyrics, songs such as "The Wind Rises" and "Ordinary Road" are fully eligible for selection, but a creator can only choose one song. The official New Song Award finally selected this song.
At first, some music critics commented that the lyrics of this song were "bland", but now in the nominations for the "Best Lyricist of the Year" award, these people have been officially slapped in the face.
It also happened to confirm the evaluation of the lyrics by instructor Li Guojian at the time.
The third stage of lyric writing: returning to nature, without piling up gorgeous and complicated words, that is, "Looking at mountains is still mountains, looking at water is still water."
Huang Xishan took the envelope, opened it and saw the name of the winner, and his expression changed again.
The acting seemed much more natural this time.
However, after the episode just now, everyone became uncertain.
Chapter completed!
