Chapter 417 As Soon as the Music Started Playing, Luo Quan Won the Prize
After resting in the capital for a night, Luo Quan and the Girls' Generation girls came to Studio 1 of the CCTV Building the next day.
Tonight, the CCTV Music Festival will be held here to award awards to outstanding Chinese music and musicians in the past year.
This grand ceremony is currently the most valuable pop music award in China. It is awarded every two years. Any shortlisted works have been fully tested by time and the market.
Tonight's CCTV Music Festival was a gathering of stars.
Although many celebrities were forced to retire some time ago, the Chinese music scene was not greatly affected by this storm. Those who suffered were mostly popular singers.
After all, if you want to become popular in the music world, you still have to rely on your own works in most cases, and there are still relatively few people who like to specialize in trivial matters.
On the one hand, this time all the singers went to the ceremony to witness the honor, and on the other hand, the selection of singing programs for the Spring Festival Gala has already begun.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was a great success, with ratings hitting a new high in recent years.
In order to continue the success, the Spring Festival Gala director team has made many reforms this time, adding more popular elements to the song selection, and made it clear to newcomers that they will give more opportunities.
Among the candidates this time, Luo Quan and Girls' Generation are basically scheduled to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
As the most popular female solo singer last year, Luo Quan has good looks, talent, and singing skills. She has also made great achievements. It would be unreasonable for her not to attend the Spring Festival Gala.
In the same way, Girls' Generation is the most popular girl group that emerged from last year's most popular variety show. It is popular all over Asia and even the world. Its members also include outstanding girl idols from Japan and South Korea, which reflects China's tolerance.
If I hadn't suffered from the prejudice of the feudal female management, I should have attended the Mid-Autumn Festival Party last year.
But now the female manager has left, so this time Girls' Generation didn't encounter any obstacles and went straight to the Spring Festival Gala.
Today Luo Quan and Girls' Generation are also sitting in the front row with a group of big shots. In addition to CCTV's recognition of their strength, it also means that they will win awards this year.
In fact, you can think of these things with your toes. The Huaxia Orchestra is currently in a bit of a recession, so it just points to these girls to expand its international reputation.
The award ceremony was broadcast live on all platforms. Due to environmental considerations, most people chose to watch the live broadcast at Station B. Here you can post barrages, there are many people, and everyone speaks nicely.
The most important thing is that Luoquan and Girls’ Generation at Station B have very, very many fans.
"The Chinese music scene has undergone tremendous changes in the past two years. Countless outstanding musicians with talents and ideas have emerged. From various music variety shows, too many musicians have been discovered..."
Two CCTV hosts gave the opening remarks on the stage.
As they say, the Chinese music scene has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, independent musicians published songs on the Internet, and after becoming famous, they were called Internet singers.
Nowadays, most of them are released on Douyin, and after becoming famous, they are also called Internet celebrity singers.
Different people have different opinions on the level of the two, but they all have one thing in common, that is, their works are very popular with the public.
Excluding those Internet celebrity singers who have plagiarism controversies, all the people who came to the CCTV Music Festival this time were relatively powerful Internet celebrity singers.
After the opening remarks and greetings, the announcement of the first award soon came.
"Music is always progressing. The predecessors are pioneering the path, and the younger generations are forging ahead. Tradition and change go hand in hand. There is never a shortage of outstanding newcomers in the Chinese music scene.
What is to be announced next is the Best Newcomer of the Year Award at the CCTV Music Festival! "
As soon as the name of the award came out, guests near Luoquan already started to congratulate her.
"Hey, it's a pity that the best new artist can only be a solo singer, otherwise we would still have a candidate." Wen Xia congratulated and regretted at the same time.
It is indeed a pity. After all, it is the most valuable music award in China. Even just one nomination is of great value.
"The winner of this year's Rookie of the Year is——Luo Quan!"
The atmosphere team went to work immediately. Fireworks and steam seemed to rise in front of the stage. Luo Quan walked onto the stage amidst a round of applause.
She didn't wear an evening dress today, so there was no need to compete with anyone on CCTV. She just wore an ordinary black woolen coat and a blue sky scarf around her neck.
The overall style looks very mature, and the outfit is much better than last summer's T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops.
"Thank you CCTV, thank you CCTV Music Festival for recognizing me, and also thank my family and friends for their support. Finally, thank you to all the fans who like me. Without you, I would not have these honors." Luo Quan took the trophy and put his Prepare your first acceptance speech.
For this grand ceremony, she specially prepared several acceptance speeches in order to avoid repetition in the future.
In the past, when the CCTV Music Festival gave awards, because the nominees were all talented people, no matter who won the award, it would usually cause controversy.
Often when an award-winning singer is announced on stage, the names of the singer and the competitor will immediately be trending on Weibo, and fans of the two groups will immediately start to fight.
But this time, it can be said that Luo Quan, who won the award, is well-received by everyone. When she comes to participate in the ceremony, no one will think that she is here to accompany her.
As long as she is nominated for an award, 99.99% of the time she will win.
As soon as Luo Quan returned to the auditorium and sat down, Girls' Generation next to him was about to take the stage again.
Because the next thing to be awarded is the Best Newcomer Group of the Year award.
The female host looked at the camera and smiled and said: "They come from all over the world, even foreign countries. They were selected from 30,000 contestants, and after months of study and competition, nine people finally formed a team.
This year’s best new artist group is our Girls’ Generation! "
Girls' Generation's masterpiece "GEE" played, and nine beautiful and lovely girls walked to the stage together, and various support slogans were posted overwhelmingly:
"One day a girl, always a girl!"
"Wang Dao Wen Xia, Yoona is stunningly beautiful, and Junko is adorable!"
"Nine little ones, just go, go, go!"
……………………
As the captain, Wen Xia naturally delivered the speech of thanks.
In fact, since she debuted in South Korea and returned to China for more than a year, she has attended countless award ceremonies.
But this was my first time attending the CCTV Music Festival, so even though I have rich experience, I still seemed a little excited.
Not only because of myself, but also because of the girls in the entire group and the girl group industry being recognized by CCTV.
From the moment Girls' Generation debuted, China finally had a girl group that could compete with Japan and South Korea.
Now in China, they have reached the top. The next step is South Korea, and the next step is the whole world!
Of course, this ambition cannot be made public right now. Although Wen Xia is excited, he has not lost his mind. He has recited his acceptance speech countless times without making any mistakes.
After the two appetizers, it was time to enter the more important awards, starting with the best Chinese pop song of the year.
This is an award where you can tell who will win just by listening to the name.
However, there is no missing link. All nominated songs are scrolled on the big screen one by one.
Interestingly, Luo Quan is the only singer with two nominations. "Nocturne" and "In the Name of the Father" are both nominated for the best pop song of the year.
According to the rules, each singer can only have one song nominated at a time, but Luo Quan's two songs were so outstanding that each could win an award, so the judging panel made an exception and allowed both of them to be nominated.
"The award-winning work this year is..." The host deliberately prolonged his voice when he said this, torturing the guests and the audience.
"The winning work is Luo Quan's "Nocturne"!"
As the female host shouted, Nocturne's iconic and ear-catching guitar accompaniment sounded, and Luo Quan's singing almost made the barrage in the live broadcast room climax.
"Singing Chopin's nocturne for you, in memory of my dead love..."
Stepping on his own singing, Luo Quan trotted all the way onto the stage.
If it were Weibo Night, she might have said, "I give my full recognition to the judges for awarding this award to me."
However, Luo Quan didn't dare to be arrogant in CCTV, so she could only use a prepared acceptance speech to thank all those who helped her.
Warm applause rang out, and Luo Quan Shiran walked off the stage.
But tonight, her run has just begun.
The next award is Best New Single of the Year.
This award was created to encourage singers who have the courage to develop new genres. The works that won the award in the past were relatively experimental, such as Cao Mufeng and Liu Yang, who had appeared on "I Am a Singer" once before.
Both of these are candidates who are more likely to win the award before the award ceremony begins.
However, after seeing Luo Quan's "In the Name of the Father" appear in the nominations, there was once again no suspense about the award.
"This song pioneered the dark genre, using a heavy melody to describe a story about redemption.
Then I announce that the winner of this year's Best New Work Award is... Luo Quan's "In the Name of the Father"! "
"Merciful Father, I have fallen into a kingdom where I cannot see sin..."
As soon as the song started playing, Luo Quan won the award.
Luo Quan, who was in the audience, had just returned to his seat, but his butt was not even warm, so he ran to the stage again.
Seeing Luo Quan's face flushed and breathing lightly, the barrage immediately started:
“Lose weight and lose weight!”
"It's good to run. I haven't moved in the room every day for the past few days, and I don't know how much fat I have on my stomach."
"No meat, just touched it last night."
"Who has yellow urine? Come on!"
"Good guy, I'm afraid you're living in a dream!"
After taking the trophy, Luo Quan just sat down after getting off the stage, and the third award started again.
The next thing to be awarded is the Best Lyricist of the Year Award.
There's not much suspense either.
The works in this award have always been monopolized by Chinese-style songs, and Luo Quan wrote a song called "Blue and White Porcelain" that has become the pinnacle of Chinese-style lyrics in the industry!
"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you..."
The award-winning song soon sounded, and Luo Quan handed the trophy that he couldn't let go to Wen Xia beside him, and ran onto the stage.
All the celebrity guests in the audience were numb with applause.
I thought that Luoquan would have a big harvest this time, but I didn't expect to directly monopolize it.
How long has it been since a second celebrity came on stage to receive an award? Counting the commercial time, it’s half an hour!
Still full of humble gratitude, she was already worried about whether tonight's acceptance speech would be enough while holding the trophy.
However, the host would not give her time to search for her acceptance speech, and the award ceremony continued.
The next thing to be awarded is the best arranger of the year.
A very important award. In the arrangement industry, technology is more important than talent.
A good arrangement can turn decay into magic!
There is no suspense about the winning work, it must be "In the Name of the Father" by Luo Quan.
The arrangement of this song has reached a state of perfection. There are so many elements, samples, and richness in it that it cannot be compared to any popular music in the current Chinese music scene.
Even if it is placed in the European and American music scene, which has always been known for its arrangement, the excellence of "In the Name of the Father" is still obvious!
The singing sounded again, and "In the Name of the Father" achieved a double hit.
There is no room for the trophy in Wen Xia, so Luo Quan can only ask Junzi to help hold it.
The camera lens moved over at this time and captured this scene. The barrage was immediately overwhelmed by joyful ridicule:
"Wen Xia was holding three trophies in her hands like a baby. I was laughing so hard."
"Awesome, this is my fifth trophy."
"Come on, let's try to take home a trophy for Girls' Generation's human flesh tonight."
"What is dominance? This is called dominance!"
"Don't panic, there are still many awards to come."
"Luo Bao, don't win the prize, mom is afraid."
………………
The last barrage was obviously a joke, but the list of winners that has been decided cannot be changed.
The next award is Best National Song of the Year.
The winning work is "The River Flows" adapted by Luo Quan.
Although she is not really original, the adapted version is actually very different from the original version, and is obviously more popular with the new era audience. It has now become a must-sing song at major evening parties, which shows how much the adaptation has been success.
Therefore, Luo Quan deserves the award!
At this time, in the barrage, other than Luo Quan's awesomeness, he no longer knew what to praise.
Besides being awesome, it’s still awesome!
Next up, the best pure music of the year.
The winner was Luo Quan's "Nightingale". In the Shangyi Music Competition, the one-man symphony orchestra was amazing. "Nightingale" has now become popular overseas, so it is understandable to win the award.
Best Rap of the Year, "Compendium of Materia Medica" won the award.
Best Composition of the Year, "Canon".
Best Single of the Year, "In the Name of the Father" won.
Album of the Year, Chopin in November.
Best Singer of the Year, Luo Quan.
……………………
Just like what was said in the barrage, this time Luo Quan let all Girls’ Generation members get a trophy!
Countless newcomers to the industry in the audience looked at Luo Quan, who was shining brightly on the stage, with eyes full of envy and admiration.
What kind of talent does it take to be like Luo Quan?
