Entertaining Children

  Chapter 759 Awards ceremony begins

  Entering the venue of the awards ceremony, immediately a staff member stepped forward and took Xiao Yao and Gong Chen to their seats.

   "Oh, look at this position, I'm afraid you won't have less prizes tonight!" Gong Chen smiled and said to Xiao Yao when he was taken to his seat by the staff.

  The seating arrangement of stars is also very particular about the award ceremony. In addition to not arranging celebrities with tight personal relationships or having holidays together, the star’s seat position can also tell the star’s reputation and the possibility of winning.

   Generally speaking, the more famous stars are located in the front and near the middle of the auditorium, because people in this area have the most chances of appearing in the lens. Also, on this basis, the more likely a star is to win the prize, the closer the position to the front and the aisle. This will make it easier for the star to get up on stage to receive the award, save the time spent on the stage to receive the award, and try to avoid following when on stage. The people in the next position squeezed around.

  The staff pointed out that the seat to Xiao Yao was next to the aisle on the third row of the middle area, which was considered to be one of the best positions in the audience. Judging from this position, it seems that Xiao Yao won the awards on stage tonight.

   "Let you auspicious words! Please!" Xiao Yao smiled, reached out his hand and made a please gesture, letting Gong Chen sit in first.

Although    was the red carpet where the partners walked together, the positions of Xiao Yao and Gong Chen were not arranged together. Although they are in the same row, there are still two places in the middle. However, Gong Chen is not dissatisfied with this arrangement, because the staff has introduced that the two positions between them are reserved for Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying. We all belong to the same company, so we can sit together. If Xiao Yao wins the prize, Xiao Yao's interaction with her parents will definitely be more interesting than her colleagues and friends, so the people in Qijia Studio have no objection to the organizer's arrangement.

   Xiao Yao and Gong Chen took their seats, and the two empty spaces between them seemed a little awkward and abrupt, but this situation did not last long. After a while, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were also led by the staff to their seats.

   "Dad, why is it so long? You have been asked by Lu Ke for a long time?" Xiao Yao got up and moved away from the outside, and asked Xiao Siqi by the way. The red carpet sequence of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying is just behind Xiao Yao and Gong Chen. Estimated from the time they came in, they obviously had also been interviewed by Lu Ke.

  "Don't mention it, half of the questions Lu Ke asked me are related to you." Xiao Siqi shook his head and sighed, "I should stick to your proposal at the beginning. It would be nice if we two walked on the red carpet together."

   "Boss, then I can't sit here." Gong Chen stretched his head forward when he heard the words, and looked at Xiao Siqi sideways.

   "Why? Is it wrong to walk the red carpet with me?" Ye Jiaying also turned her head and looked at Xiao Siqi.

"No no," Xiao Siqi hurriedly said, "I mean Lu Ke, obviously August 1 is right in front of us. I must have been interviewed by her, and he also pulled me to ask a bunch of questions about Bayi. I don't know about her. How did you become the host?"

   "Sister Ke!" Xiao Yao turned to look behind Xiao Siqi.

   "Huh?" Xiao Siqi hurriedly looked back, only to find that he was empty behind him, without Lu Ke at all.

   "You kid, even dad is playing!" Xiao Siqi patted Xiao Yao on the back of the head dissatisfied.

   "Deserve it!" Ye Jiaying smiled, "Who makes you speak ill of others behind your back, you have a guilty conscience!"

  The family of three laughed for a while, and then fell silent. They were originally arranged to walk the red carpet in a relatively backward position, and there are not many stars behind. In other words, it has not been long since the award ceremony started at this time.

  At 7:50 in the evening, the red carpet show ended, all the stars entered the stage, the lights above the stage were completely turned off, and preparations began. At eight o'clock exactly, the lights above the auditorium suddenly became much dimmed, and the audience suddenly became quiet.

  "Welcome to the "Golden Disc" awards award ceremony site, the award ceremony officially begins now! First of all, please invite the opening performers to bring tonight's opening performance!" A narration-style introduction sounded on the scene.

  "Wow~" The ordinary audience in the middle and back area of ​​the auditorium burst into cheers. The star guests sitting in front also smiled and clapped their hands, all of them turned their eyes to the front stage.

  However, even though the sound announcing the start of the awards ceremony had sounded, the lights above the stage still did not light up, and the stage was still very dim, and only the silhouettes of a few people could be seen fascinatingly.

  Amidst applause and cheers, violin and piano music sounded from the live speakers. Everyone understands that this is the musical prelude to the opening performance. The star guests in the front stopped applauding, and the cheers of the audience at the back also weakened a lot.

   "Huh~," a soft laugh, and then a female monologue: "AfterAllYouPutMeThrough, YouThinkIDespiseYou, ButInTheEnd, IWannaThankYou, CauseYouMakeMeThatMuchStronger..."

  "WellIThoughtIKnewYou, ThinkingThatYouWereTrue~" After the monologue, a strong female voice blasted into the ears of the audience. At the same time, the lights on the stage were bright, and the whole scene of the stage was finally revealed to the audience.

   "Wow~"

   "Xueying! Xueying!"

  The dazzling lighting background and stunning performers appeared, the audience and celebrity guests all sent a burst of warm applause and cheers, and some fans in the back even stood up and shouted the name of the idol.

  The performers and songs of the opening performance are very familiar to the audience and celebrity guests. It is the overseas promotion song "Fighter" of the China Basketball Professional League sung by Liang Xueying! Xiao Yao did have a performance tonight, but the new song he prepared is a relatively quiet folk song, which is not suitable as an opening performance to drive the atmosphere of the scene, so the organizer chose Liang Xueying, which once opened in the basketball league. The "Fighter" that detonated the audience was the opening performance of the awards ceremony tonight.

   "Xueying's appearance today is very impactful!" Xiao Siqi turned his head and whispered to Xiao Yao, "It's very different from when she performed at the opening ceremony of the basketball league."

At this time, Liang Xueying on the stage tied her long hair into a tall ponytail, her upper body was dark red sports underwear, her lower body was leather shorts and black boots below her knees, she was covered in a red boxing cloak, with both hands. There is also a white bandage on it, which is obviously a shape close to a boxer.

The dancers behind him are all similar in shape to Liang Xueying, but only her boxing cloak is sleeveless and the belt is not tied up. From the close-ups given on the big screen, it can be seen that her hands, arms and abdomen are all There are more obvious muscle contours. The whole shape is very visually impactful and can give people a strong sense of strength, and it is a "fighter" she sang!

"Well, the effect is indeed very good, but she didn't care less about it." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "For tonight's performance, she went to the gym to practice for a month. She even wanted me to teach her something. Boxing moves, but I was not free, so I introduced Hiroko to her."

  "A month ago you were not free? You were in Yanjing and you didn't have to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. Why were you not free? I think you are lazy, right?" Xiao Siqi glanced at Xiao Yao and ruthlessly exposed his lies.

"It's good to know, why have to say it." Xiao Yao touched his nose, "But it's good for Haozi to teach. He is a professional boxer, a professional athlete, and his boxing moves are more standard than mine. Strength and physical fitness I know more about these aspects of exercise, and I definitely teach better than me. Moreover, he also likes Sister Xueying and her songs, and giving Haozi the opportunity to be an idol personal trainer is a great thing for both of them. "

  "You always have a reason!" Xiao Siqi smiled, then stared again, "So, does Xueying still have boxing moves in this performance?"

   "She appeared in this image, so it should be. She and Haozi would never learn boxing to learn to fight." Xiao Yao smiled.

  Sure enough, when Liang Xueying sang "Fighter" in the last sentence of the chorus, she lifted the elbow of her left hand holding the microphone, twisted her body, and threw a powerful right uppercut to the audience! Accompanied by the swing of this right uppercut, the lights on the stage suddenly brightened, and a bunch of electric sparks exploded next to them, and they fell on the stage one after another.

  Of course, this is only the lighting effect of the scene, it is not that the lighting system is overloaded and there is a real explosion. The lights on the scene are still on. However, such a scene completely ignited the passion of the audience and made the atmosphere of the scene explode. Many ordinary spectators in the back row of the auditorium stood up from their seats and shouted Liang Xueying's name. Even some celebrity guests in the front row also stood up from their seats, raising their arms and cheering.

  "SoThanksForMakingMeAFighter!" Accompanied by the last singing and accompaniment, she stopped at the same time, and Liang Xueying again ended the performance of the whole song with a boxing action.

  The audience seemed to feel Liang Xueying’s last “Fighter” echoing in their ears. They paused unconsciously, then applauded and cheered. This time, almost half of the star guests in the front row stood up.

   "Thank you," Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, Liang Xueying resumed her normal standing posture and bowed to the audience. After getting up, Liang Xueying, whose chest was obviously still undulating slightly, stretched out a finger to point to the auditorium, and said in English, "ThankYou!ThankYouForMakingAFighterForMe!"

  "Wow~" There were several exclamations from the star guests in the front row.

  A rocker camera on the scene pushed the lens towards the auditorium in the direction pointed by Liang Xueying, and the large screen on the scene also switched to the picture taken by this camera.

   "Wow~" Seeing Xiao Yao appearing on the big screen at the scene, there was a louder exclamation.

Seeing Xiao Yao, who originally gave the thumbs-up on the stage, smiled and waved his hands on the big screen, many people suddenly realized that Liang Xueying’s last sentence was not exactly the same as the last sentence of the song, but was different. of. Thinking of this, there was another burst of greater cheers at the scene.

The Chinese meaning of the last sentence in the lyrics of    is thank you for making me a fighter, and Liang Xueying's last sentence translated is thank you for writing (making) a fighter for me. The English sounded very close, but the meaning was very different. She publicly expressed her gratitude to Xiao Yao who wrote this song on the stage.

  Liang Xueying has said more than once that her idol is an American diva singer since her debut, and she has been working hard to develop in the direction of internationalization. However, although she has achieved very good results in China over the years, her results in the European and American markets have always been relatively average. The English songs released in the standard European and American markets have never been in the top 50 on the US bulletin board.

But her "Fighter" has not only reached the top 20 on the billboards in the United States, it has also rushed to a very high position on the music charts in many European countries, compared to her previous songs. It's not one and a half. As a result, she has gained a lot of popularity among European and American music fans. At the end of last year, with this song, she won several performance opportunities at major music festivals and music award ceremonies in European and American countries. A well-known singer at the international level.

In addition to the general music promotion channels, a very important reason why this song is widely known abroad is that this song is an overseas promotional song for the China Basketball Professional League. Many basketball fans are inspired by the exciting basketball league promotional film. Know and love this song. This song was written by Xiao Yao for Liang Xueying, and it was also the reason why Xiao Yao was selected as the overseas propaganda song for the basketball league by the Basketball Association. So it is not difficult for Liang Xueying to publicly express her gratitude to Xiao Yao on this occasion.

  Amidst the cheers of the audience, Liang Xueying exited the stage with several dancers.

   "Please invite the host of the award ceremony..." The sound of the introduction sounded from the live speakers, and the four hosts, two men, two women, also walked onto the stage together with the introduction.

  The four introduced themselves, and each of them said a few opening remarks, and then they entered the award-giving session.

  "The first award we give out tonight is the Best Creative Newcomer Award. Here are the award-giving guests..." After the opening remarks, Lu Ke introduced the first award and the first group of award-giving guests.

  In many award ceremonies, the newcomer awards are awarded at the top positions, and the "Golden Disc" award is no exception.

  Previously, the "Golden Disc" award for newcomer only had two awards: best newcomer and best newcomer singer. The best rookie singer, regardless of gender, has only one. This is different from many music awards in the past and present. It has also caused some controversy, but it has been retained by the "Golden Disc" award as a unique feature. However, this feature has not been maintained in the end, they still made changes last year.

   After Xiao Yao, who performed exceptionally well the year before, was selected as the best rookie singer of the previous year, this kind of controversy was unprecedentedly strong, and many fans expressed great dissatisfaction with the "Golden Disc" award. Since Fan Linxuan had the "hard target" to defeat Xiao Yao in "Good Voice" and Xiao Yao helped him win the championship. Later, Fan Linxuan entered Xiao Yao's studio and became Xiao Yao's colleague. Xiao Yao also helped Fan Linxuan wrote a song, and the two showed a very good relationship, so Xiao Yao's fans did not have much opinion on Fan Linxuan's award, and finally pointed the finger at the award setting.

  The other awards are for the best new male singer and the best new female singer. Why is there only one "Golden Disc" award? If it is the best male rookie singer and the best female rookie singer, then Xiao Yao and Fan Linxuan are one by one, wouldn't everyone be happy? Even if they are not die-hard fans of Xiao Yao and Fan Linxuan, ordinary music fans think that both of them should have won awards. As a result, there have been a lot of stubborn and stereotyped comments criticizing the "Golden Disc" award.

Although the organizing committee of the "Golden Disc" Award finally compromised under the unprecedented pressure of public opinion, and last year divided the Best New Artist Award into two awards: Best New Male Singer and Best New Female Singer, but in addition to proving it from the side Aside from Xiao Yao's influence, there was no substantial influence on Xiao Yao. The change in the award setting only increases the chance for future rookie singers to win. It is absolutely impossible to reissue Xiao Yao's trophy for the best rookie male singer.

  For Xiao Yao, who is on the scene today, the change in award setting also means that he has to wait a little longer before he has a chance to hear his name. Because although Xiao Yao received a lot of nominations this year, as a musician nominated for the third year, he has long been no longer eligible to compete for any newcomer awards, and the first three newcomer awards cannot have any relationship.
