"let it go let it go

There's no way to go back

let it go let it
Turn around and don't care anymore
......"

At the scene of the Teana Awards Ceremony, Yao Beina in a white dress sang loudly, and the song "Let It Go" won bursts of applause.

This song is the theme song of the Hollywood animation film "Frozen", and the Chinese version of "Let It Go", which has become popular all over the world, became very popular in China last year along with the movie.

If it wasn't for the fact that this song is a re-creation of an English song and is not original, it is very likely to win multiple nominations.

However, although she was not shortlisted, the singer Yao Beina was naturally invited to perform at the first Tian Lai Awards, which was considered a wave of face.

At the same time, this is Yao Beina's first comeback after a period of silence.

Before Yao Beina won the first season of "I Am a Singer", her career has risen to a new level, but it didn't take long before she turned down most of her work due to illness.

Now it can be regarded as a staged major victory, Cao Xuan personally ordered her to participate in the Tianlai Award and perform.

Although it was later proved that this award is a bit "special for China", the influence can be seen.

Cao Xuan and last year's best-performing album "Cao Xuan" announced their withdrawal from the first Tian Lai Award.

Chopstick Brothers also came today, and they sang a song "Little Apple + The Most Dazzling National Style" with Phoenix Legend, and staged a feast of square dance divine comedy, which is the treatment of the Spring Festival Gala.

And songs such as "Social Shake" and "My Skate Shoes" are popular, but the quality is mediocre, the reputation is low, and there are certain controversial songs. It is difficult to win awards.

Similar rules are actually not uncommon in the selection of awards. Under normal circumstances, the judging committee will find big names who have not participated in the competition in the past two years, and those who have participated in the competition will also refuse the invitation.

The biggest favorite, Eason Chan, defeated Lin Junjie, Pu Shu, Fang Datong and others, and won the laurel easily.

So this matter is a dilemma. Whether you participate in the election or not, there are certain disadvantages.

An ancient song by Huo Zun.

Although it is a bit of a blow to the gold content and credibility of the Teana Award, Cao Xuan has been "ignored" by other domestic awards for more than ten years, and everyone is used to it. When Cao Xuan completely retires, the next Teana Award will not have this entanglement.

If there is really a song that is so popular, it may really hope to become the "Top Ten of the Year".

This matter had a great impact, Cao Xuan even hesitated a few times, and kept making phone calls with China to negotiate with China during the concert.

……

The Judging Committee for the Teana Awards has a total of seven people, including singers, musicians, producers, music critics and even related practitioners besides Cao Xuan.

The early stage of the selection of the Teana Award is a bit complicated, there are several rounds of auditions, and the rules are also very complicated, but in the end it is easier to choose the winner from the 5 finalists.

Zhou Jianhui is neither a singer nor a musician, and even has not developed much in the entertainment circle in recent years, but his past contribution, status and influence in the Chinese music scene are still very large, and he has enough appreciation level, so he is definitely qualified to be a judge of the Teana Award .

But Can't Hold This is really popular, and it can even be said to be one of the hottest songs this year.

Stars and entertainers made their debuts on stage, honors were announced one after another, and wonderful performances were performed one after another.

But although it is not as good as his previous peak works, he is Jay Chou after all, and maybe some singles are not particularly outstanding, but the overall quality of the album is definitely the first among all the finalists.

If the rhythm is out of control, the Teana Awards will become a self-entertaining joke.

Ordinary audiences are more interested in listening to songs and watching celebrities, but there are also many people who eat melons and fans who pay more attention to awards, especially the singer award and the "Top Ten of the Year".

If the best albums and singers don't participate, others may not be convinced if they take it.

However, it is also understandable that there is great hope for the [Best Composition] behind-the-scenes award, and Li Ronghao is not easy to follow.

On the other hand, he himself is the chairman and founder of the judging committee. If he participates in the election, how should the award be judged.

Of course, Li Ronghao's song explosion last year is also an important reason. For example, the second song "Top Ten of the Year" revealed later is his "Li Bai".

Finally, I saw a piece of good news that was not good news.

Perhaps the Chopsticks Brothers are not bad, but their biggest reliance on "Little Apple" is that they cannot participate in the election, so they naturally fall into a disadvantage.

This is because of Cao Xuan's previous interviews, many people paid special attention to this small-eyed singer and had a certain understanding of him.

He was the referee and won the championship, and he was even the organizer. No matter how good the ball was, the controversy would not be small.

"Annual Rings" by Zhang Bichen.

But if there are no restrictions, it’s not that Cao Xuan is talking big, with Cao Xuan’s performance last year and the influence of the songs, he can cover the related awards of the Tianlai Award, and four of the top ten songs are guaranteed.
Then other singers won't be the ones who give him bad feet?
It’s not that Cao Xuan has never won an award. The Golden Melody Award has also played the miracle of "receive the award on stage when the stars are heard", but the key is that his identity is too sensitive.

Fanxing arranges physical examinations for employees every year, which can be regarded as an important benefit, especially for artists who are the company's main income, they provide a full set of medical examination services twice a year, trying to kill the danger at the very beginning.

That is a regulation of the Teana Awards. In order to ensure the fairness and justice of the selection, all the judges, their names and related works will not be shortlisted for nominations.

It's just that he doesn't have a high reputation, and the Golden Melody Awards have been declining in recent years, so he hasn't caused much impact, but he is still very popular in a small area.

It is difficult to treat people equally, even if Cao Xuan himself can't do this, but he can't completely shut him out, just follow the rules.

So Cao Xuan gritted his teeth and wanted to do it, so he could only find this excuse and avoid himself out a little far-fetched.

However, according to the quality and influence of last year's results, it is not a sure thing, but the finalists should definitely have a name.

This is normally difficult to do, but under the huge appeal of Cao Xuan, a large number of stars and high-quality programs have been assembled.It's still not satisfactory.

Most of the judges here are not directly related to the award selection. For example, Xiao Zhou is actually qualified as a judge, but he was not invited because he might be nominated.

Whether you admit it or not, these two years are indeed the explosive period of TFBOYS. Their popularity and song influence are good, and they are the most powerful combination in these two years.

Li Ronghao's previous award-winning "King of Comedy", as well as songs such as "Model" and "Old Street", have a higher reputation than it.

Although breast cancer is also one of the incurable diseases, in theory, as long as it is discovered early enough and treated in time, the survival rate is very high, and there is even a certain hope of cure.

But even so, Cao Xuan still gave them the qualifications to be shortlisted, and even one song was nominated, which is unimaginable in other music awards.

This is also the most embarrassing point of this year's Teana Awards. It even caused fierce quarrels among the jury and was widely disputed by the outside world.

Although it is a mouthwatering song like "Li Bai", it still has a certain quality and reputation, and it is widely recognized by the public, so it can be awarded.

Cao Xuan voted for Cai Yilin in the two rounds, but he didn't expect Su Yunying to be very popular with music critics, Wei Xixi and Liu Huan. He secured three votes in the two rounds and won easily.

At the same time, it also revealed a signal to the outside world, that is, the Teana Award is not as serious and noble as other awards.

Forcibly suppressing Cao Xuan violates the principle of fairness and justice of the awards. Such a big award controversy in the first session will be a huge blow to the newly established Tianle Award.

But there is no way, the album and the concert related matters have been decided a few years ago, and it cannot be withdrawn immediately.

There is one thing to say, the quality of the song "Li Bai" is not high.

The awarding of major awards, the revealing of the "Top Ten of the Year", guest performances, interspersed with each other in a completely orderly manner.

Compared with the unpopularity of the queen, there is not much suspense for the first Tianlai singer.

"Cao Xuan" - Cao Xuan.

It can be regarded as witnessing his rebirth as a phoenix with everyone!
After that is 【Best Composition】, and there are also some famous singers shortlisted.

By winning this award, Xiao Zhou can still maintain his face, not to mention that his song "What kind of man" won the "Top Ten of the Year".

This time "shelved" is also very good, giving newcomers some opportunities to stand out.

This is an old friend of Cao Xuan. It was thanks to him that Cao Xuan became famous back then. After Warner changed hands two years ago, he resigned and founded a music equipment company by himself.

Yao Beina is the object of Cao Xuan's focus, and she must be included in the physical examination report every year.

Although it is difficult to guarantee controversy, at least it is more decent than winning a big victory in the election or going straight to the election.

"It's a pity if there is no if" by Lin Junjie.

However, Cao Xuan felt that pop music should let a hundred flowers bloom, even those earthy, ghost and animal songs are not without the slightest merit, and there is no need to kill them all at once.

Without Cao Xuan's outstanding performance, the competition for "Best Composition" will be more intense.

The Teana Award greatly reduces the boringness of an awards ceremony, turning it into a feast of entertainment and music, so that the audience will not feel peeing as much as possible.

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Cao Xuan secretly smiled wryly. In fact, it was something he hadn't expected at the beginning.

Yao Beina was recruited, but she was discovered very early, and there is great hope for a cure. After "I Am a Singer", Yao Beina has been silent for a year, except for a few works such as "Let It Go", and is actively treating her.

Afterwards, Cao Xuan felt that the unique style of the original + "Yezi" song was the magic weapon for Su Yunying to impress several judges.

Lin Junjie, Xiao Zhou, Li Ronghao, and Chang Shilei.

In the end, it was won by Li Ronghao's "King of Comedy", which surprised the outside world. It was guessed in advance that Xiao Zhou and Lin Junjie were the biggest favorites.

As for another "Best Album" with a high gold content, it was won by Xiao Zhou's "Ouch, Not Bad".

Fortunately, most people in the outside world still understand. First, the judges should avoid suspicion. Second, it is true that Cao Xuan's level is too different from the domestic singers. Putting it together is simply a one-sided crush.

This song is more like a saliva song. Even Li Ronghao himself expressed his dislike, claiming that he could make it in 15 minutes.

But no matter what, the premise is that the results are not weak, and I dare not say that they are popular, but they all have a certain influence.

[Top Ten of the Year] The quality of the songs is not just judged, but the performance and popularity are also important factors, which account for a high proportion in the selection, and can even be regarded as necessary conditions to a certain extent.

[Best Newcomer] was won by Deng Ziqi, and the winner of [Best Combination] was TFBOYS.

This is also normal, no matter how good the quality of a song is, if the song is unpopular, how can it be called the "Top Ten of the Year".

Such rules ensure the fairness of the awards to the greatest extent, at least on the surface.

So he was put on the shelf, and Cao Xuan regretted it countless times, why didn't he stagger the release time of the album and the holding time.

With the song "Wild Son", newcomer Su Yunying defeated famous singers such as Na Ying, Jolin Tsai, and Zhang Liangying, and won the first Tian Lai Song Queen.

In everyone's mind, Cao Xuan was originally the only existence, and he was about to retire, so there was really no need to go down to earth to fight for the prize.

As for the other "Top Ten of the Year" songs, each type has different advantages, some are more popular, some are of higher quality, some are more distinctive, and some have novel production concepts.

First, there is a discussion on the proportion of the conditions of all parties, and a comprehensive evaluation. Two places will be eliminated, and the remaining three will be voted. There are two rounds in total. The elimination with the fewest votes will be the winner.

At Cao Xuan's level, he has no shortage of honor, and he doesn't need to talk about it to add glory to him. He is unwilling to participate, but he is afraid of affecting the credibility of the award.

This album is actually one of Xiao Zhou's overall low quality and influence, otherwise he wouldn't have performed very little in the Teana Awards.

Later, Zeng Li gave Cao Xuan an idea. He didn't dare to say it was perfect, but it was a good excuse for him to minimize the influence as much as possible.

[Best Female Singer] was a huge upset.

The same is true for the awards. After several years of preparation, it was finally held officially. I don’t know how many people are staring at it. Once it is postponed, it is difficult to say what will happen.

For example, "Little Apple", this song has been popular in China for two years, and it almost made the people of the whole country vomit. It was slaughtered all over the major charts, and the Chopstick Brothers even went to the American Music Awards to perform and win awards.

Because of "The Voice of China", "Nanshan South", which became very popular.

Cao Xuan was noncommittal to the three boys, but since they performed well, he would not mess around and damage the credibility of the Tian Lai Award.

Will you participate in the Teana Award?
This was a dilemma for Cao Xuan. On the one hand, Cao Xuan had already announced his withdrawal from the competition for domestic awards, and he was about to retire, so there was no need for him to backtrack.

The first few are easy to talk about, but the last one is more complicated. For example, Zhou Jianhui, the former president of Warner Asia.

The same is true for several other judges, who are very rich in gold, such as singer Liu Huan, Cao Xuan's queen producer, Wei Xixi, the number one producer in Asia, and former "Contemporary Music" editor-in-chief Yunyun.

If it wasn't because it was "made" by Cao Xuan, and he wasn't eligible for the selection, he might have been able to get one of the "Top Ten of the Year".

The quality of the songs is not high, but the results are hot, so it is not a kind of "good".

The other awards are executed very well. The reason why the Teana Award is special is that Cao Xuan is the founder of this award, so he has to be a judge, and his album performance is so good that it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

Of course, the Teana Award is somewhat burdensome.

It may be because of the first session, the judges were relatively conservative, and the "Top Ten of the Year" did not get a repeat singer, which has to be said to be a pity.

Otherwise, if someone wins two or even three [Annual Top Ten], they will be even more popular than Tian Lai Song Wang Ge Hou.

----

ps: The top ten of the year may not be as expected, but there is no way, the few good songs in the past two years have been snatched away by someone, and the Chinese music scene is bald, so I can't make it up...
