Entertaining Children

  Chapter 760 Ballad

  After the three newcomer awards were awarded, the award ceremony came to the performance time again. Wei Zhihao, nominated for Best New Male Singer, gave a performance. Although Wei Zhihao’s popularity is not as good as Liang Xueying’s opening performance, and the whole stage effect he showed is not as shocking as Liang Xueying, he is a sing-and-jump-type artist, and the songs he performed are the most well-known title songs in his first album released last year. A very lively dance music, so the atmosphere during the performance is still very good.

"Thank you Wei Zhihao for the wonderful performance. Below we will award the best single category." After Wei Zhihao took the dancers out of the show, the two hosts appeared on the side of the stage and continued to introduce the following Process. Except when the four hosts appeared together at the beginning, the four hosts appeared in pairs in the later time. One host finished speaking, and the other continued, "Next, we will first award the awards for the best folk song and the best folk album. I would like to invite guests Yi Kun and Qin Xiaodong to present the awards."

   Amidst the sound of music, Yi Kun and Qin Xiaodong in dark red and black suits walked onto the stage together and stood in front of the microphone.

   "Hello everyone!" The two first greeted the audience at the scene, and after aroused applause and cheers, they talked briefly.

   "Hello Xiaodong, long time no see!" Yi Kun looked at Qin Xiaodong and said hello.

   "Hello Kun'er, long time no see!" Qin Xiaodong smiled gently and responded.

"Today we are awarding the best folk singles and albums of the year. You, a "music poet" in the folk music industry, are the best guest for these two awards. I am honored to be able to present the awards with you. "Yi Kun smiled and complimented.

"Thank you," Qin Xiaodong thanked him politely. Although there was still a smile on his face, his mouth suddenly became impolite, "but I think it's a bit strange to award the prize with you! I don't understand why the organizer I want to arrange for you to join me as the guest of honor for these two awards!"

   "I also sang folk songs for my debut?" Yi Kun asked, "Why can't I give this award?"

   "But you haven't sung folk songs for more than ten years. I think you should award pop awards." Qin Xiaodong continued to say unceremoniously.

  Another feature of the "Golden Disc" award is that the awarding guests are arranged according to the classification of the award. That is, those who sing folk songs give awards to the folk category, and those who play rock give awards to the rock category. Although it is not absolutely absolute, it basically follows this rule.

   "Anyway, I have sang folk songs before, and I have to come and present these two awards with a shy face!" Yi Kun said seemingly rogue.

   "Of course," Qin Xiaodong said with a shrug, "I didn't want to push you down, I just want to know why!"

   "Well, I'll tell you in a moment!" Yi Kun pretended to smile mysteriously, turned to the big screen and said, "Let’s take a look at the nomination list of this year’s "Golden Disc" Award for Best Folk Song of the Year."

  Following Yi Kun’s actions, five song clips nominated for the best folk song began to be played on the big screen at the scene, and the live narration also introduced the nominated song along with the pictures on the big screen. Among the five nominated songs, Xiao Yao is the most eye-catching, and he won the most applause and cheers, because two of the five nominated songs are works by Xiao Yao.

  The two nominated songs by Xiao Yao are "When You Are Old" and "Chengdu". In fact, in the eyes of many music critics and fans, Xiao Yao’s "Vincent" and "ThinkingOutLoud" are also excellent folk songs, enough to be nominated for the best folk song in the "Golden Disc" award, but "Golden Disc" "The award is, after all, a Chinese music award. Generally speaking, nominations for Chinese songs are given priority, and English songs are rarely nominated. In recent years, only the English song "Faded" composed by Xiao Yao and sung by Gong Chen has been nominated for the best electronic song of the past year.

  Electronic music can be regarded as an emerging style category, and it is also relatively international. The "Golden Disc" award has only been newly established in this category in recent years, and this is relatively relaxed. But folk songs are different. Since the establishment of the "Golden Disc" award, folk songs have been a fixed category, and the judging in this area is relatively traditional. And Xiao Yao already has two songs nominated for this award. If you add these two English songs, then Xiao Yao alone will occupy four nominations. There are only two candidates for this award. Not suitable.

"Let’s announce the winners of this award." Turning around and watching the nominated song clips on the big screen with the audience, Yi Kun turned around and raised a folded hand with the “Golden Disc” logo on the back. The card, opened the seal on the inner side, leaned in front of the microphone and read, "The best folk song of this year's "Golden Disc" award is ~"

  "Why don't you come?" When Yi Kun said "Yes", Yi Kun paused deliberately and handed the card to Qin Xiaodong, who turned his head and looked at the card.

   "Ha~"

   "Call~"

   Yi Kun’s behavior caused some audience members to chuckle, and some people booed with dissatisfaction.

  Qin Xiaodong waved his hand, smiled and shook his head, indicating not to use it.

   "Okay," Yi Kun took the card back, "The best folk song of this year's "Golden Disc" award is ~"

  ""When You Are Old"! Singer, Xiao Yao!" Qin Xiaodong suddenly leaned in front of the microphone and said. Obviously, when Yi Kun handed the card to Qin Xiaodong just now, Qin Xiaodong had already seen the content on the card.

   "Hey!" Yi Kun stared at Qin Xiaodong.

  "Will Xiao Yao come to the stage to accept the award!" Qin Xiaodong ignored Yi Kun and looked down the stage.

Yi Kun’s personality is more lively. In the past few years, he did some funny things when he was a mentor in The Good Voice. Everyone is not surprised by his performance, but Qin Xiaodong, a gentle and elegant “music poet” can do the same. Lively, which most people have never thought of. Could it be that Qin Xiaodong's funny side was also developed after participating in "Singer"?

  "Haha~" The audience in the audience was surprised for a short while, and then a burst of happy laughter rang out.

Amid the laughter of the audience, Xiao Yao got up from his seat, first hugged Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying beside him, and then touched his fists with Gong Chen, who was two places away, before he walked quickly. On the stage.

After the award was announced, the big screen was switched to Xiao Yao, who was under the stage, showing him interacting with relatives and friends. The lady also took advantage of this time to walk onto the stage holding the trophy, and stood to two awards. The guest's side and rear. After Xiao Yao took the stage, he took turns to hug the two award-presenting guests, and then Yi Kun took the trophy from the hostess beside him and handed it to Xiao Yao.

   "Thank you!" Xiao Yao took the trophy with both hands, and thanked Yi Kun softly before facing the audience and standing in front of the microphone.

   "When I was watching the nomination clip just now, I suddenly thought of a question." Xiao Yao spoke into the microphone, but did not say a word of thanks. Instead, he came up with such a surprising sentence. The audience suddenly calmed down and looked at Xiao Yao in the audience with curiosity.

   "I think Xiangnan Satellite TV and the "Singer" program group should give me an advertising fee." Xiao Yao laughed.

   "Huh?" The audience in the audience showed puzzled expressions. Although the awards ceremony, which was broadcast simultaneously on CCTV Three and Haiyan Video, did not prohibit mentioning the names of local satellite TVs and variety shows, after receiving the award, Xiao Yao asked Xiangnan TV and the "Singer" program group for money? What is this operation?

"I found that in the song clips nominated just now, they are all MV clips. There are only two of my songs. One is a live video clip and the other is a clip of my live performance on the "Singer" stage." Xiao Yao continued. "Of course, it’s not to blame the organizer, because I didn’t shoot the MV for these two songs, only live performances can be played. But I thought about it later and found that the few songs I was nominated this year were not MVs. Except for "Chengdu" just now, the other nominated songs were all sung on "Singer"."

  Xiao Yao made two MVs last year. Except for "ThinkingOutLoud", which was not nominated for the best song in the folk song category, it was another English song "Alone". According to the rules of the "Golden Disc" award, the nomination is for the singer of the song, and "Alone" was sung by an American female singer, and naturally it did not get the "Golden Disc" award for the best electronic song nomination.

"It doesn't matter if you swim the fish. After all, it only appears once, but the "Singer" stage of Shonan TV will appear here many times. How big a musical event is the "Golden Disc" award, and what advertising effect does it have to be?" Xiao He waved his hand exaggeratedly, "So, I think they should pay me advertising fees. What do you think?"

   "Agree!"

"Yes!"

  "Give me the money!"

  The audience in the audience laughed and roared.

   "Director Qu, Director Tao Ran, have you heard the voice of the crowd?" Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the camera lens and said, "I know you will see it!"

"I go!"

   "Profit Merchant!"

  Including Yi Kun and Qin Xiaodong on stage, many celebrities and guests were helpless in their hearts.

"Okay, serious!" Xiao Yao put away the exaggerated expression on his face and smiled, "Thank you for the award to me by the jury, thank you two awarding guests, thank you William Butler Yeats, thank you fans and fans Guys, thank you my family, thank you!"

Not everyone knows Yeats, and not everyone has seen Xiao Yao’s introduction to the song on "Singer", so after hearing Xiao Yao’s acceptance speech, some audiences, including celebrities, couldn’t help but mutter. "Huh? Thank you William Butler Yeats. What's the matter? Who is William Butler Yeats?"

"Yeats is a famous Irish playwright and poet in the nineteenth century. Xiao Yao's award-winning song "When You Are Old" is based on Yeats's poem of the same name, so I thank Yeats." But fortunately, I know. There are many people who come from Xiao Yao's song, and those who don't understand quickly get answers from people they know by their side.

   "Let me go, and my acceptance speech is so unintelligible, Xiao Yao, would you like to be so awesome?" Many people murmured in their hearts.

   Xiao Yao finished his acceptance speech and bowed to the audience. After he got up, he raised the trophy he was holding and was about to turn around and leave the stage.

"Wait!" Yi Kun, who had retreated behind Xiao Yao, stepped forward and stopped Xiao Yao, pulling him to stand in front of the microphone, "Now I can tell Xiaodong why I asked to be the award-giving guest today. Because I want to chat with you on this occasion!"

   "Huh?" The audience in the audience was a little confused, "Why did the awards ceremony tonight also add the interaction between the awarding guests and the winners? Why haven't the previous awards been received?"

   "Huh?" Xiao Yao was also a little surprised. The organizers hadn't told him before that there was this one.

   "Can you?" Yi Kun turned to ask the two hosts on the other side of the stage.

   "Of course!" The two hosts nodded together.

   "What do you want to say?" Xiao Yao looked at Yi Kundao.

  "Remember what we said on "The Voice"?" Yi Kun asked.

   "I remember every sentence, but we have said so many things. I don't know which sentence you are referring to. I can't repeat it all here, right?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly.

"Remember every sentence on the show three years ago?" Yi Kun stared, then shook his head, "No matter that, what I want to say is that I will let you into my team during the blind election, and we will revitalize it together. Folk, how did you answer?"

   "The responsibility of revitalizing folk songs is too heavy, my shoulders are still immature, I can't carry it, and..." Xiao Yao repeated truthfully.

   "It's okay," Yi Kun cut off Xiao Yao's words, "what about now, do you still think so?"

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

  "In three years, five nominations for best ballad songs, and best ballad songs for three consecutive years, is this what you call immobile?" Yi Kun said.

  "Wow~" The audience below exclaimed.

  Yi Kun said that, most people also remembered that since Xiao Yao was qualified for the "Golden Disc" award, the award for the best ballad song has not been overlooked, and he has won the award every year.

   "Haha," Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly, "Even so, can't it be said that I carried the folk song?"

"I don't say what you didn't carry, the fans know it in their hearts." Yi Kun said, "Folk songs are the category of songs that you win every year. I think this is the type you are best at. I just want to help the majority of folk songs. Fans would like to ask you, after three years, you have picked up the three best folk songs, when can we give folk fans a complete folk album?"

"Ha? Release an album? I thought you were going to kill me!" Xiao Yao patted his chest exaggeratedly, then quickly figured it out in his head, and said, "It's not difficult to release an album! I did it now. It seems that there are already seven folk songs. No, there will be eight after tonight. Based on the minimum standard of an album, there are still two songs short of it. I promise to finish this year!"

"I thought you were not afraid of heaven and earth. Are you still afraid of being killed?" Yi Kun smiled. "In fact, this is also a task assigned to me by a certain fan group, since you have personally promised to complete the folk album this year in public. , My task is considered complete."

   "What? The task explained by the fan group? There is such a thing?" Xiao Yao stared. He had been wondering why Yi Kun had such a performance tonight.

"As long as it's about you, any strange things won't make me feel too surprised." Qin Xiaodong smiled and leaned in and said, "I seem to have read similar discussion posts on a folk ballad forum, just complaining. Your album style is too mixed, and their folk music fans are very upset, why don't you specially release a folk album."

   "Okay, fans are food and clothing parents. I will release whatever album you ask me to release." Xiao Yao bowed to the camera lens.

   "Really?" Yi Kun and Qin Xiaodong both asked in surprise.

   "Of course it's fake!" Xiao Yao said immediately, "If other fans ask for it, I will issue one of each type, do I still have to live?"

   "Well, I have timed out, and I have to perform in a while, I will go back and make preparations." Xiao Yao waved to the audience again and ran backstage quickly.

  Looking at Xiao Yao running away holding the trophy, naturally there was laughter in the audience.

"Okay, next we are going to award the Best Folk Album Award." The section where Xiao Yao received the award was indeed overdue. So Qin Xiaodong saw Xiao Yao leave the stage and immediately started the following awards process, looking back. Looking at the big screen, "Let’s take a look at the nominations for the best folk album of the year for the Golden Disc Awards this year."
