After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 537 Li Zhang's Contribution to the Chinese Music World
The Beka singers were silent collectively, they only felt their faces were hot, and they couldn't even maintain a smirk.

Of the first four of the top ten classics, only one is Li Kai's work. Who would have thought that the next six would be all inclusive.

In the top ten music awards, one songwriter's works accounted for 7 pieces, which is unprecedented in the two list award ceremonies.

A new record was born.

The previous record only occupied half of the country, which was created by the godfather of 80s music. Last year, Li Kai equaled this record, but this year, he improved this record by two songs.

Don't underestimate the improvement of these two songs, they represent two grades, and the difficulty is no less than that of a first-tier singer, stepping up to the top of the first-tier, climbing to the quasi-superior first-tier, and even the super-first-tier.

You know, the award ceremony is different from the sales table. The latter is an iron data. If you sell one more record than others, you can rank above others. The former is a comprehensive data evaluation, and there is a very important one. The default rule is to avoid duplication of singers, songwriters, and record companies as much as possible if the gap is not large.
Taking the Top Ten Classical Music Awards as an example, there are basically two caps for a single singer, three caps for a single songwriter, and four caps for a single record company.

If you want to break through, unless the comprehensive evaluation data advantage is too obvious.

Knowing the existence of such a default rule, the singers of Becca and Huacan could argue endlessly and disagree with each other.

According to their judgment, regardless of the fact that Li Kai's works were shortlisted for 13 works in the Top Ten Classical Music Awards, it is certain that they will break the default rules, but if they are exhausted, they will only win 5 awards like last year.

For the two consecutive years of the Billboard Awards Ceremony, the top ten scriptures occupied half of the country. This is already a record, and it is unprecedentedly amazing.

Among the 20 shortlisted songs, the remaining 7 were shortlisted. Except for Liu Mingliang's song, the rest were all works by Luo Yusheng, and 4 of them won the award.

There is a gap of 1 song between each other. Luo Yusheng debuted for 6 years, and his qualifications are much deeper than Li Kai. In the selection of the best songwriter award, it is a very important factor.

In addition, there are two separate awards for lyricist and composer, and there is a high probability that the winners will not overlap, that is, Li Kai and Luo Yusheng will each get one.

If you really want to do it all by yourself, the probability of Luo Yusheng is higher than that of Li Kai.

It has to be said that their judgment was not groundless guesswork, but the cold facts told them that they were wrong.

And with the announcement of the award-winning songs one after another, in fact, some of them have come to their senses. The first part of the awards, as well as their position, have somewhat blinded their eyes.

In the history of the domestic music scene, among the albums that have sold triple platinum, which one is not listed among the top ten classics at the award ceremony of the two charts?

However, last year, among the albums featuring Li Kai's works, 9 albums sold triple platinum or above.

Focusing on Luo Yusheng's works, there is only one piece.

Tan Guangyue's album "The Heart Is Too Soft", and Four Dog Days' album "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", failed to win the Top Ten Song Award, which is unprecedented.

To put it bluntly, this is the award ceremony's use of the default rules to the extreme!
As for the 7 award-winning songs, all of the earned albums have sold platinum in a single month, and each song has won the top spot on the Billboard and stayed on the list for more than one and a half months.

They are all classics among the classics. If they don’t win, let alone the fans’ disapproval, even the circle will question the credibility of the awards ceremony.

Therefore, facing the three reeds sung by the three of Lin Yue and the sneering eyes of the Huacan singers, the Beka singers were far less ashamed than the humiliation in their hearts.

On the other side, in the area where the record company personnel are located, Luo Yusheng's assistant also wished that there would be a gap in the ground to get in. The eyes cast on him from all directions felt like thorns, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young man on the left and the man on the right. The girl stared straight ahead, which seemed to him to be deliberately avoiding her, which made him even more ashamed.

As a matter of fact, in his capacity, if he yelled in public, no matter how unastonishing his words were, others would just treat it as a brazen joke, which went in one ear and came out in the other, and he had long since forgotten about it.
On the stage, the trophy could clearly be held with one hand, but Ning Lan held it with both hands, still feeling heavy.

Counting the more than two years of retirement, she debuted for 11 years, and won more than 20 awards in the two award ceremonies, but only two of the most important trophies were missing.

First, the annual song award for the top ten classics, and second, the most popular female singer award.

These two awards are like the NBA's scoring leader award and the championship of the finals.

Many superstars in the NBA, and even those who were selected into the Hall of Fame, had brilliant careers, but they missed these two trophies.

The kind of regret can be imagined.

Tonight, at this moment, Ning Lan finally made up for one of the two major regrets in her career as a singer.

Ning Lan wiped the reddish corners of her eyes, suppressing her excitement and said: "Since I debuted in 87, there are only 5 months left, which is a full 11 years. I have won many awards, but I have never won the top ten classics of the year. Music Award, it is your unwavering perseverance that made this dream come true for me, thank you, my dear fans”

Speaking of this, his voice became a little choked up, but a lily-like smile bloomed on his face, and he raised the trophy above his head with both hands.

There were thunderous cheers at the scene.

"Ning Lan, Ning Lan, Ning Lan."

I saw countless arms waving in the stands, no less than two thousand fans shouted Ning Lan's name in unison, the sound was like a landslide, deafening!
The shouting lasted for a long time, and before it gradually subsided, Ning Lan also adjusted her mood. The next award thanks were similar, and finally she thanked Li Kai, the songwriter of the song "Human World".

He didn't overemphasize it, because it wasn't necessary, he just passed it by and waved towards the singer area.

After the awards for the Top Ten Classical Songs were awarded, Murphy sang the award-winning classic "Wandering" as a guest singer, which made everyone in the circle smell something unusual.

According to the default rules of the awards ceremony, the singers must win the awards, and they will perform at the same time after they win the most important award.

The weight of the top ten classics may not be inferior to some awards in the third part, but it is definitely below the most popular female singer award.

In other words, Murphy's early stage appearance basically declared that the winner of the Most Popular Female Singer Award at last year's Billboard Awards was hopeless to defend her title.

After Murphy's singing, we entered the third part of the awards ceremony.

First, the Best Newcomer Group Award, Best Newcomer Female Singer Award, and Best Newcomer Male Singer Award.

For the Best Newcomer Group Award, 4 male and female groups were shortlisted. Unsurprisingly, the winner was Future Girls.

With just one record, they jumped from the rookie to the sky and set a precedent in the domestic music scene. Even if the first album won the default double-platinum tide group, and the first single won the default platinum. .

For the Best New Female Singer Award, 5 people were shortlisted, including He Jingyun, but the winner was Nie Lanxin.

People in the circle were not surprised, and only a small number of fans booed dissatisfiedly. Everyone knew that this year's two chart award ceremonies specially set up a rookie king. Since the future girl has won the best rookie group award, It is self-evident who the newcomer king is.

The opponent Nie Lanxin really defeated was Shen Jing. Although the sales volume of the latter's album Full Moon was higher than that of the former, due to the update of the singer's rating, it was only on the top line.

But the former is the real front line.

Best New Male Singer, 5 shortlisted, the winner is Liang Qiumo.

A single with the third best-selling single in the history of the domestic music scene, and an album that is triple-platinum by default, he deserves it!

As a guest singer, Liang Qiumo sang not the award-winning classics, but the first hit of the album "Love is like the tide".

Then announced the Best Lyricist Award, Best Composer Award, Best Combination Award, Best Band Award, and Fengyun Singer Award.

The first two awards were newly added this year, but the best newcomer lyricist and composition awards were cancelled.

For the Best Songwriter Award, 3 people were shortlisted. Before the announcement, the audience shouted Li Kai's name.

It would have been nice if half of the fans at the scene knew the identity of Li Kai's songwriter, but now that the awards ceremony has progressed, nearly ten popular singers have thanked Li Kai more than a dozen times, so it's impossible to know.

Of the top ten classics, Li Kai's works accounted for 7 of them. Who else is the best songwriter?

In the singer area, the singers of Becca Records were silent, with self-deprecating expressions on their faces. To put it bluntly, if the winner of this scene is not Li Kai, the winner will be booed to death by the fans. The wind and cloud list will be scolded to death by fans!
Originally they were expecting Luo Yusheng to win the award, but at this time, instead, they were thinking in their hearts that the organizers must not be fooled, and if they really awarded the award to Luo Yusheng, it would make the latter a target of public criticism and put them on the fire.

Facts have proved that the organizer did not make a mistake, and the winner was Li Kai.

The Best Composer Award, no surprise, was still Li Kai.

For the Best Band Award, 3 bands were shortlisted, Four Dog Days, Sunshine, and Light Years. Before the announcement, the voices of the three were not much different.

Finally announced the winners, Dog Days Band.

The best combination award, 3 combinations were shortlisted, there is no suspense, the winner is the future girl.

Fengyun Singer Award, 5 singers were shortlisted, and the winner was Tan Guangyue.

As a guest singer, the future girl sang the award-winning classic "spuer star" on stage.

The three daughters of Lin Yue ignited the scene with their youthful and passionate singing, and at the same time served as the perfect foreshadowing for the most important awards at the finale.

Next, the main event will be the Rookie King Award, the Most Popular Female Singer Award, and the Most Popular Male Singer Award.

For the Rookie Award, although there were two men, one woman and one girl group shortlisted, the result was as expected by everyone in the circle, and the winner was He Jingyun.

Two albums were released last year, one defaulted to [-] gold, and the other defaulted to [-] gold. Such achievements are enough to aspire to the number one newcomer in the history of the domestic music scene.

The Most Popular Female Singer Award, 6 people were shortlisted, Ning Lan, He Jingyun, Xu Qiaoling, Future Girls, Murphy, Su Yaqing, the six queens of the domestic music scene gathered together.

The final winner is Ning Lan!
After the album was successfully sealed with a default quasi-[-] gold, it also won the domestic music scene with a default quasi-five and a half platinum.

After 11 years of singing career, Ning Lan finally realized her dream.

Tonight only won two awards, but they are the two most important awards for female singers in China, and the two regrets are all made up.

For the Most Popular Male Singer Award, 4 people were shortlisted, Liu Mingliang, Guo Yifu, Li Jie, besides the three veteran heavenly kings, plus Li Kai.

The final winner is Li Kai!
There was only one album released last year, but it was the best-selling male singer, with a default of 351 gold, and with a cumulative sales of [-] million copies, it became the actual number one album sold last year.

In addition, during the summer tour, Li Kai served as a guest singer many times, showing that he is not weak and super popular.

According to the estimates of senior people in the circle, Li Kai's popularity is not much worse than Liu Mingliang's.

Having won the Rookie King Award last year, this year he went a step further and won the highest honor in the domestic music scene, representing the highest honor for male singers.

He Jingyun and Ning Lan took the stage one after another. The former sang "Song of Thousand Thousand Que", and the latter sang "Human World".

Li Kai is not a guest singer, but conventionally, the most popular male singer is the finale performance of the awards ceremony.

However, after the two girls finished singing, Li Kai was not in a hurry to go on stage. The host once again invited the award presenter, the vice president of the Music Association, to announce the Fengyun Outstanding Contribution Award.

This award is the same as the Rookie Award, it is not set every year, last year's two list awards did not have this award.

The vice president stepped onto the stage, opened the coloring page in his hand, and said: "He is a bright new star rising in the Chinese music scene, and he is also known as a musical genius who comes out every ten years. He debuted only one year and four months ago. Released two albums, created a new record for single sales in the Chinese music scene, achieved the first album with an annual sales volume of over 1 million in six years, created 4 popular classic songs, and broke 6 records including single sales records, He has made outstanding contributions to promoting the development of the Chinese music scene."

Speaking of this, there were already overwhelming shouts from the scene.

The one who shouted was the same name: Li Kai.

The vice president smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and continued: "I will announce that the winner of the Outstanding Contribution Award of the 12th Billboard is Li Kai!"

boom!
The protracted shouting suddenly became louder when the vice president announced the names of the winners, and it was pulled up by more than ten decibels again.

That momentum, compared to when Ning Lan took the stage to receive the most popular female singer, was indistinguishable.

In the singer area and the area where the record company personnel are located, everyone applauded enthusiastically, and many people even stood up.

There are mixed praises and criticisms for Li Kai in the circle. Many people are not interested in his unreasonable behavior, but it is undeniable that Li Kai has made great contributions to the development of the Chinese music scene. Times have changed in the music world, genres of music and singing have become more diverse, and the record market has more than doubled in size. Li Kai can be regarded as the initiator.
