Entertaining Children

Chapter 432: The Awards Ceremony Begins

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

"Hey, look at this position, I'm afraid you won't be short of prizes tonight!" Gong Chen said to Xiao Yao with a smile after being led to his seat by the staff.

The seat arrangement of the stars at the award ceremony is also very particular. In addition to not arranging celebrities who have a tense private relationship or have festivals together, the star's reputation and the possibility of winning can also be seen from the star's seat position.

Generally speaking, famous stars are located in the front and near the middle of the auditorium, because people in this area have the most chances to appear in the camera. What's more, on this basis, the more likely the award-winning star is, the closer the position will be to the front and closer to the aisle. The people on the side were jostling around.

The seat pointed out by the staff to Xiao Yao is next to the aisle on the right side of the third row in the middle area, which is considered one of the best seats in the audience. Judging from this position, it seems that Xiao Yao will not be less on stage to receive awards tonight.

"Thank you! Please!" Xiao Yao smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and let Gong Chen go in and sit down first.

Although it was a red carpet where they walked together as partners, Xiao Yao and Gong Chen's positions were not arranged together. Although they are in the same row, there are still two positions in the middle. However, Gong Chen was not dissatisfied with this arrangement, because the staff had introduced that the two positions between them were reserved for Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying. We all belong to the same company, and we just need to sit together. If Xiao Yao wins the award, the interaction between Xiao Yao and his 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 sat down, and there were two empty seats in between, which seemed a little awkward and abrupt, but this situation did not last long. After a while, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were led by the staff to their seats.

"Dad, why did it take so long? You have also been dragged by Lu Ke for a long time?" Xiao Yao got up to get out of the seat outside, and asked Xiao Siqi by the way. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying's red carpet group was right behind Xiao Yao and Gong Chen. Judging from the time when they came in, they had obviously been interviewed by Lu Ke.

"Don't mention it, half of the questions Lu Ke asked me were related to you." Xiao Siqi shook his head and sighed, "I should have insisted on your proposal back then, if only we had walked the red carpet together."

"Boss, then I won't be able to sit here." Hearing this, Gong Chen stretched his head forward, looked sideways at Xiao Siqi and said.

"What? Are you wronged to walk the red carpet with me?" Ye Jiaying also turned her head to look at Xiao Siqi and asked.

"No no,

"Xiao Siqi hurriedly said, "I mean Lu Ke, since Bayi is right in front of us, she must have been interviewed by her, and she pulled me to ask a bunch of questions about Bayi, I don't know how she is the host. When. "

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

"Ah?" Xiao Siqi hurriedly looked back, but found that there was nothing behind him, and there was no sign of Lu Ke at all.

"You kid, you even play tricks on Dad!" Xiao Siqi patted Xiao Yao on the back of the head in dissatisfaction.

"You deserve it!" Ye Jiaying laughed, "Who told you to speak ill of others behind your back, you must be guilty!"

The family of three laughed and made a fuss for a while, then quieted down. They were originally arranged to walk the red carpet at a relatively late position, and there were not many celebrities behind. In other words, it was not long before the awards ceremony began.

At 7:50 p.m., the red carpet show ended, all the stars entered the venue, the lights above the stage were completely extinguished, and preparations began. At eight o'clock, the lights above the auditorium suddenly dimmed a lot, and the audience suddenly fell silent.

"Welcome everyone to the "Golden Disc" Awards Ceremony. The awards ceremony is officially starting now! First of all, please invite the opening performers to bring tonight's opening performance!" A narration-style introduction sounded at the scene.

"Wow~" The ordinary audience in the middle and back area of ​​the auditorium let out a burst of cheers, and the celebrity guests sitting in front also laughed and applauded, and all turned their eyes to the stage in front of them.

However, even though the sound announcing the start of the awards ceremony had already sounded, the lights above the stage were still not turned on, and the stage was still very dim, with only the silhouettes of a few figures vaguely visible.

Amidst the applause and cheers, the sound of violin and piano sounded from the live speakers. Everyone understood that this was the musical prelude to the opening performance. The star guests in front stopped applauding, and the cheers from the audience behind also weakened a lot.

"Huh~," a chuckle sounded, and then a female monologue: "After All You Put Me Through, You Think I Despise You, But In The End, I Wanna Thank You, Cause You Make Me That Much Stronger..."

After the monologue of "Well I Thought I Knew You, Thinking That You Were True~", a thick female voice exploded in the ears of the audience. At the same time, the lights on the stage were brightly lit, and the whole picture of the stage was finally displayed in front of the audience. .

"Wow~"

"Xueying! Xueying!"

As soon as the dazzling lighting background and stunning performers appeared, the audience and celebrity guests all gave a burst of applause and cheers, and some fans even stood up and shouted the names of their idols.

The performers and songs of the opening performance are very familiar to the audience and celebrity guests. It is the overseas promotional 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 was a relatively quiet folk song, which was not suitable as an opening performance to boost the atmosphere of the scene, so the organizer chose Liang Xueying's song that once opened in the basketball league. "Fighter", which detonated the audience at the ceremony, was used as the opening performance of tonight's awards ceremony.

"Xueying's outfit today is very impactful!" Xiao Siqi turned her 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 high ponytail. Her upper body was wearing a dark red sports underwear, her lower body was made of leather shorts and black boots below her knees, and she was covered with a red boxing cloak. There is still a white bandage wrapped around his body, which is obviously a shape close to that of a boxer.

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

"Well, the effect is indeed very good, but she didn't spend too much time on 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 some Boxing moves, but I didn't have time, so I introduced Hiroko to her."

"You were not free a month ago? You are in Yanjing, and you don't have to attend the Spring Festival Gala. How could you be free? I think you are lazy?" Xiao Siqi glanced at Xiao Yao, and mercilessly exposed his lies.

"It's good to know, why do you 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 movements are more standard than mine. He also knows more about these aspects of training than me, and he must be better at teaching than me. And he also likes Sister Xueying and her songs. It is a great thing for both of them to give Haozi a chance to be an idol's personal trainer. "

"You always have a reason!" Xiao Siqi smiled, then glared and said, "So, Xueying's performance will still include boxing movements?"

"She appeared in this image, so she should have it. She learned boxing from Haozi, so she didn't learn to fight." Xiao Yao laughed.

Sure enough, when Liang Xueying sang "Fighter" in the last line of the chorus, she lifted her left elbow holding the microphone, twisted her body and threw a powerful right uppercut to the audience! Accompanied by this right uppercut, the lights on the stage suddenly turned on brightly, and a bunch of electric sparks exploded beside them, falling down onto the stage one after another.

Of course, this is just the lighting effect of the scene, not a real explosion due to the overload of the lighting system, and the lights on the scene are still on. However, such a scene completely ignited the passion of the audience and exploded the atmosphere of the scene. Many ordinary spectators in the back row of the auditorium stood up from their seats and shouted Liang Xueying's name, and even some celebrity guests in the front row also stood up from their seats, raised their arms and cheered.

"So Thanks For Making Me A Fighter!" Accompanied by the last line of singing and accompaniment, Liang Xueying also ended the performance of the whole song with a boxing motion.

The audience seemed to feel Liang Xueying's last sentence "Fighter" echoing in their ears, and they paused for a moment unconsciously, and then applauded and cheered. This time, almost half of the celebrity guests in the front row stood up.

"Thank you." Amid applause and cheers from the audience, Liang Xueying resumed her normal standing posture and bowed to the audience. After getting up, Liang Xueying, whose chest was obviously still rising and falling, pointed a finger at the audience, and said in English, "Thank You! Thank You For Making A Fighter For Me!"

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

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

"Wow~" Seeing Xiao Yao appear on the big screen at the scene, there was an even louder exclamation at the scene.

Seeing Xiao Yao, who was giving the thumbs up on the stage on the big screen, smiled and waved his hands in embarrassment, many people suddenly realized that Liang Xueying's last sentence was not exactly the same as the last line of the song, but there was a difference of. Thinking of this, there was another burst of louder cheers at the scene.

The Chinese meaning of the last sentence in the lyrics is "Thank you for making me a fighter", while Liang Xueying's last sentence translated is "Thank you for writing (making) a fighter for me." The English sounds very similar, but the meaning is very different. She is publicly expressing her gratitude to Xiao Yao who wrote this song for her on stage.

Since her debut, Liang Xueying has said more than once that her idol is a queen singer in the United States, and she has been working hard to develop in the direction of internationalization. However, although she has achieved very good results in China these years, her performance in the European and American markets has always been relatively average. The few English songs released in the standard European and American markets have never entered the top 50 on the US Billboard.

But her song "Fighter" has not only entered the top 20 on the US Billboard, but also rushed to a very high position on the music charts of many countries in Europe. Compared with the results of her previous songs Well, it's not a little bit. Because of this, she has gained a lot of popularity among music fans in Europe and the United States. At the end of last year, with this song, she won several performance opportunities in large-scale music festivals and music award ceremonies in Europe and the United States. She can already confidently say that she is An internationally renowned singer.

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

Amid the cheers of the audience, Liang Xueying left the stage with several backup dancers.

"The host of the award ceremony is welcome..." The sound of the introduction sounded, and the four hosts, two men and two women, also walked onto the stage together.

After each of the four made some self-introductions and said a few opening remarks, they entered the award-giving session.

"The first award we will present tonight is the Best Newcomer Award. Next, we invite the award presenters..." After the opening remarks, Lu Ke introduced the first award and the first group of award presenters.

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

In the past, there were only two awards for the "Golden Disc" Award for Best Newcomer and Best Newcomer. Among them, there is only one Best Newcomer Singer, regardless of gender. This is different from many music awards in the past and present, and has caused some controversy, but it is still retained by the "Golden Disc" Award as a unique feature. However, such characteristics have not been maintained to the end, and they still made changes last year.

After Xiao Yao, who performed exceptionally well the year before, failed to be selected as the best new singer the year before, the controversy was unprecedentedly strong, and many fans expressed great dissatisfaction with the "Golden Disc" award. Because Fan Linxuan had the "hard target" to defeat Xiao Yao to win the championship in "The Voice", and it was Xiao Yao who helped her to win the championship. Later, Fan Linxuan entered Xiao Yao's studio and became Xiao Yao's colleague. Fan Linxuan wrote songs, and the relationship between the two was very good, so Xiao Yao's fans didn't have much opinion on Fan Linxuan's winning the award, and finally pointed the finger at the setting of the award.

The other awards are Best New Male Singer and Best New Female Singer. Why is there only one "Golden Disc" award? If there is a Best New Male Singer and a Best New Female Singer, then Xiao Yao and Fan Linxuan are one and one, wouldn't everyone be happy? Even if they are not hard-core fans of Xiao Yao and Fan Linxuan, ordinary music fans think that both of them should win the award back then, and because of this, there have been a lot of comments on the Internet criticizing the stubbornness and old-fashionedness of the "Golden Disc" award.

Although the organizing committee of the "Golden Disc" award finally compromised under the pressure of unprecedented public opinion, and last year divided the Best Newcomer Singer Award into two awards, the Best Newcomer Male Singer and the Best Newcomer Female Singer. Except for Xiao Yao's influence, it didn't have any substantial influence on Xiao Yao. The change in the award setting only increases the chances of future rookie singers to win the award, and it is absolutely impossible to give Xiao Yao another trophy for the best rookie singer.

For Xiao Yao, who was at the scene today, the change in award settings also meant that he had to wait a little longer before he had the 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 disqualified from competing for any newcomer awards, and the first three newcomer awards cannot have any relationship.
