Entertaining Children

After the three newcomer awards were awarded, the awards ceremony came to performance time again. A performance by Wei Zhihao, nominated for Best New Male Artist. Although Wei Zhihao is not as well-known as Liang Xueying in the opening performance, and the whole stage effect he showed is not as shocking as Liang Xueying, but he is a singing and dancing artist, and the song he performed is the most famous title song in his first album released last year. It is a very lively dance music, so the atmosphere during the performance is still very good.

"Thank you Wei Zhihao for the wonderful performance. Next we will present the best single award." After Wei Zhihao left the stage with his backup dancers, the two hosts appeared on one side of the stage and continued to introduce the following process. Except for the four hosts appearing together at the beginning, the four hosts appeared in pairs in the following time. After one host finished speaking, the other continued, "Next, we will first present the awards for the best folk song and 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, who were wearing dark red and black suits respectively, 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 a round of applause and cheers, they chatted briefly.

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

"Hi Kun'er, long time no see!" Qin Xiaodong responded with a gentle smile.

"Today we are presenting the awards for the best folk single and album of the year. It is a perfect fit for you, a "music poet" in the folk world, to be the presenter of these two awards. I am honored to be presenting the awards with you." .” Yi Kun complimented with a smile.

"Thank you," Qin Xiaodong thanked politely. Although there was still a smile on his face, his mouth suddenly became rude, "But I think it's a bit strange to present the award with you! I don't understand why the organizer I will arrange for you to be the presenter of these two awards with me!"

"After all, I also made my debut singing folk songs, okay?" Yi Kun said, "Why can't I present this award?"

"But you haven't sung folk songs for more than ten years, I think you should give out pop awards." Qin Xiaodong continued bluntly.

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

"Anyway, I've sung folk songs before, so I'm too shy to insist on presenting these two awards!" Yi Kun said seemingly rascally.

"Of course," Qin Xiaodong shrugged, "I didn't intend to push you down,

I just want to know why! "

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

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

Xiao Yao's two nominated songs are "When You Are Old" and "Chengdu". In fact, in the eyes of many music critics and music fans, Xiao Yao's "Vincent" and "Thinking Out Loud" are also excellent folk songs, enough to be nominated for the "Golden Disc" Award for Best Folk Song, but "Golden Disc" After all, the "Award" is a Chinese music award, and Chinese songs are generally nominated first, and English songs are rarely nominated. In recent years, only the English song "Faded", composed by Xiao Yao and sung by Gong Chen, was nominated for the best electronic song in the past year.

Electronic music songs can be regarded as an emerging style category, and it is relatively international in itself. The "Golden Disc" award was newly established in this category in recent years, and it is relatively relaxed about it. But folk songs are different. Since the establishment of the "Golden Disc" award, folk songs have been one of the fixed categories, and the judging in this aspect is relatively traditional. Moreover, Xiao Yao already has two songs nominated for this award. If these two English songs are added, then Xiao Yao alone occupies four nominations. There are only two candidates for this award. Not quite right.

"Next we will announce the winners of this award." Turning his head and watching the clips of nominated songs played on the big screen with the audience, Yi Kun turned around and raised a folded one with the "Golden Disk" award logo printed on the back The card opened the seal on the inward side, looked at it in front of the microphone and said, "The one who won the best folk song of this year's "Golden Disc" award~"

"Why don't you come?" When he said "yes", Yi Kun deliberately paused, and handed the card to Qin Xiaodong who was looking at the card with his head turned sideways.

"Ha~"

"Woo~"

Yi Kun's behavior caused some audience members to chuckle, and some people booed dissatisfiedly.

Qin Xiaodong waved his hand, shook his head with a smile, indicating no need.

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

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

"Hello!" Yi Kun stared at Qin Xiaodong.

"Please invite Xiao Yao to the stage to receive the award!" Qin Xiaodong ignored Yi Kun and looked down the stage to himself.

Yi Kun's personality is relatively lively. He did a lot of funny things when he was a mentor in "The Voice" a few years ago. Everyone is not surprised by his performance, but Qin Xiaodong, a gentle and elegant "music poet", can do the same Lively is what most people don't think of. Could it be that after participating in "Singer" once, Qin Xiaodong's funny side was also developed?

"Haha~" The audience in the audience was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of happy laughter.

Amidst the laughter of the audience, Xiao Yao stood up from his seat, first hugged Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying beside him, and then bumped fists with Gong Chen, who was two seats away, before walking briskly on stage.

After announcing the results of the award, the big screen switched to Xiao Yao in the audience, showing him interacting with relatives and friends in the audience. The hostess also took advantage of this time to walk onto the stage with the trophy in hand, and stood before the two award presenters. The side and rear of the guests. After Xiao Yao took the stage, he hugged the two award presenters in turn, and then Yi Kun took the trophy from the hostess lady beside him and handed it to Xiao Yao.

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

"When I was watching the nomination clip in the audience just now, I suddenly thought of a question." Xiao Yao spoke into the microphone, but he didn't say a word of thanks, but rather surprised. The audience immediately quieted down, looking at Xiao Yao in the audience curiously.

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

"Huh?" The audience in the audience all showed puzzled expressions. Although the awards ceremony, which was broadcast live simultaneously by CCTV 3 and Haiyan Video, did not prohibit mentioning the names of local satellite TV and variety shows, but after winning the award, Xiao Yao asked Shonan Satellite TV and the "Singer" program group for money? What is this operation?

"I found that among the song clips nominated just now, they all have 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 stage of "Singer." Xiao Yao continued. , "Of course, I don't blame the organizers, because I didn't shoot MVs for these two songs, only the live performance images can be played. But I thought about it later and found that the few songs I was nominated for this year didn't shoot MVs , except for "Chengdu" just now, the other nominated songs were all sung on "Singer."

Xiao Yao shot two MVs last year. Apart from "Thinking Out Loud", which was not nominated for the best folk song, it was another English song "Alone". According to the rules of the "Golden Disc" award, nominations are for song singers, and "Alone" was sung by an American female singer, so naturally it was not nominated for the "Golden Disc" award for best electronic song.

"Forget about Yuyu, after all, it only appeared once, but Shonan Satellite TV's "Singer" stage will appear here many times. How big a music event is the "Golden Disc" award, and how much advertising effect does it have?" Xiao Yao exaggeratedly waved his hands and said, "So, I think they should give me advertising fees. What do you think?"

"agree!"

"yes!"

"Give me money!"

The audience in the audience laughed and booed.

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

"I go!"

"The profiteer!"

Including Yi Kun and Qin Xiaodong on stage, many celebrity guests complained helplessly in their hearts.

"Okay, let's be serious!" Xiao Yao put away the exaggerated expression on his face and smiled, "Thank the jury for giving me this award, thank you two award presenters, thank you William Butler Yeats, thank you fans Guys, thank you my family, thank you!"

Not everyone knows Yeats, and not everyone has seen Xiao Yao's song introduction on "Singer", so when they heard Xiao Yao's acceptance speech, some audience members, including celebrity guests, couldn't help murmuring : "Huh? Thanks to William Butler Yeats, what's going on? Who is William Butler Yeats?"

"Yeats was a famous Irish playwright and poet in the 19th century. Xiao Yao's award-winning song "When You Are Old" was adapted from Yeats's poem of the same name, so I would like to thank Yeats." Fortunately, I know There are also many people who know the source of Xiao Yao's song, and those who were puzzled quickly got answers from people who knew about it.

"I'll go, the acceptance speech is so incomprehensible, Xiao Yao, do you want to be so awesome?" Many people complained in their hearts.

Xiao Yao finished his acceptance speech, bowed to the audience, got up and raised the trophy in his hand, and was about to turn around and leave from the back of the stage.

"Wait!" Yi Kun, who had originally retreated behind Xiao Yao, stepped forward to stop Xiao Yao, and pulled him to stand in front of the microphone, "Now I can tell Xiaodong why I asked to be the award presenter today, Because I want to talk to you on this occasion!"

"Huh?" The audience in the audience was a little confused again, "Why is there an interaction between the award presenters and the winners in tonight's awards ceremony? Why didn't the previous awards happen?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was also a little surprised, the organizer hadn't told him that there would be another event.

"Is it okay?" Yi Kun turned his head and asked 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 Kun and said.

"Do you still 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 them all here, can I?" Xiao Yao smiled wryly.

"Do you remember every sentence from the show three years ago?" Yi Kun stared, then shook his head and said, "No matter that, what I want to say is that I will let you join my team during the blind selection, and we will revitalize together Ballad, how did you answer?"

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

"Okay," Yi Kun cut off Xiao Yao's words, "Then now, do you still think so?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"In three years, five nominations for the best ballad song, and three consecutive years for the best ballad song, is this what you mean by not being able to carry it?" Yi Kun said.

"Wow~" the audience below exclaimed.

When Yi Kun said this, most people also remembered that since Xiao Yao had the qualifications for the "Golden Disc" award, the award for the best folk song has never been left behind, and he has won the award every year.

"Hehe," Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly, "Even so, it can't be said that I carried the ballad, right?"

"I won't say whether I have carried it or not. The fans know it by themselves." Yi Kun said, "Folk songs are the category of songs that you win awards every year. I think this is the genre you are best at. I just want to help the majority of folk songs Lovers ask you, it’s been three years, and you’ve already won the three best ballad songs, when will we give folk song lovers a complete folk song album?”

"Huh? Release an album? I thought you were going to flatter me!" Xiao Yao patted his chest exaggeratedly, then made a quick calculation in his mind, and said, "It's not difficult to release an album! I've released it before. It seems that there are already seven folk songs, no, after tonight there will be eight songs, counting as the minimum standard for an album, there are still two songs left, I promise to finish it this year!"

"I thought you were fearless, and you're afraid of being flattered?" Yi Kun smiled, "Actually, this is also a task entrusted to me by a group of fans, since you have publicly promised to complete the folk album this year. , my mission is complete."

"What? The task assigned by the fan group? Is there 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, I won't be too surprised by any strange things." Qin Xiaodong smiled and interjected, "I seem to have seen similar discussion posts on a folk song forum, just complaining Your album style is too mixed, and their folk music fans are very upset, why don't you make a special folk song album."

"Okay, fans are the bread and butter of life. I will release whatever album you ask me to." Xiao Yao bowed to the camera lens.

"Really?" Yi Kun and Qin Xiaodong said in surprise.

"Of course it's a fake!" Xiao Yao immediately said, "If other fans also request the same, I will release one of each type, do you still want to live?"

"Well, I've already timed out, and I have to perform in a while, so I'll go back and get ready." Xiao Yao waved to the audience again, and quickly ran to the backstage.

Seeing Xiao Yao running away with the trophy in his arms, the audience naturally burst into laughter again.

"Okay, now we're going to present the Best Folk Album Award." The part where Xiao Yao received the award was indeed overtime, so Qin Xiaodong saw Xiao Yao leave the stage, and immediately started the following awarding process, looking back Looking at the big screen at the scene, he said, "Let's take a look at the nomination list for this year's "Golden Disc" Award for Best Folk Album of the Year."
