Chapter 333 Accompanying the Whole Journey

Zhou You attaches great importance to the Starlight Award.

After all, this is in front of people all over the world.

You can walk around in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the "Shengtang Hotel" and look out at the prosperous street scene of Datang.

To the left is a modern commercial district lined with high-rise buildings, flashing with various 3D large-screen advertisements.

On the right is the retro "Chinatown"... There is actually a Chinatown in this world. It's just that this Chinatown is different from that Chinatown... People in the Tang Dynasty call themselves Tang people.

So their Chinatown means "ancient city" and "old street".

I looked at the time,

It was almost time, and Zhou You just walked towards the uniquely designed clothes rack in the hotel bedroom.

For this Starlight Awards Ceremony, Zhang Yao specially invited top designers from Xiao Xiao Fashion Design Company to tailor a high-end suit for Zhou You.

Customized gray suit and shirt.

Calmly put on your shirt and trousers, pick up the sleeve pins, watches, handkerchiefs and other accessories that you had prepared on the table... absolutely dress up for the occasion.

Um,

I traveled around without wearing a tie.

On the contrary, it highlights a bit of casualness in the formality.

This is the best state to pursue when traveling around.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Zhou You and Li Qingyao appeared on the red carpet on time.

It was still Li Qingyao holding Zhou You's hand.

However, when they appeared, the screams and shouts of the fans around them were obviously much quieter.

"Who are these two?"

"You don't watch the Spring Festival Gala? The woman's name is Li Qingyao, the one who sings "Legend", and the man's name is Zhou You, who sings "Gong Xi Fa Cai"

"Oh!! It's them. I know the songs "Legend" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai", but I don't know them."

"I saw it on the Spring Festival Gala, but I forgot about it."

The reporters and fans around him were talking quietly.

The flashbulb hit the two of them.

However, the intensity of flashlights is obviously not as high as when the stars of the Tang Dynasty appeared before.

possible,

Musicians from Datang are the most popular contestants to win the prize.

In their opinion, Zhou You and Li Qingyao were just running around.

The response from Xia Guo's fans in the live broadcast room was very enthusiastic.

"Ahhhh!! They are actually together again.,"

"Kill to death."

"Did you find that today's tour was particularly cool?"

"Goddess!! Husband!"

The barrage was dense.

Zhou You and Li Qingyao greeted the camera with smiles.

Zhou You asked softly: "Are you nervous?"

Li Qingyao: "A little bit."

Even though she was used to big scenes in Xia Kingdom and the flashbulbs of reporters, this time in Datang, Li Qingyao still felt uneasy.

because!

This battle is too big.

There are ten times as many reporters on site as before.

Walk the red carpet, sign autographs on the signature wall, take photos, walk into the venue, find your seat and sit down.

Zhou You and Li Qingyao's seats were arranged in the third row.

The first and second rows are basically all singers and songwriters from Datang.

All bright and beautiful.

Shine brightly.

Talking in low voices in twos and threes.

Most of these people did not know each other when traveling around, except for Justin and Du Weier, who met in the spring evening.

You don't know anyone else.

No one else knew Zhou You either.

So Zhou You and Li Qingyao were mostly talking to each other throughout the whole process.

Just talking,

A blond girl with blue eyes and fair skin sat down on Zhou You's left side and took the initiative to chat with Zhou You, "Hello, Mr. Zhou You."

"Hello." Zhou You responded politely.

This blonde girl is very beautiful...well, sexy would be more appropriate to describe her.

Zhou You's aesthetic is more oriental.

I prefer the gentleness and grace of oriental girls.

The blonde girl is an exotic and unrestrained type. Well, she is beautiful, but she doesn’t want to have any stories with her.

"Jin Anna, you can call me Anna." The blonde girl said.

"Yeah." Zhou You nodded.

"I'm a big fan of yours," Jin Anna said.

"I'm just a little singer." Zhou You said.

"Mr. Zhou You, you are so humble." Jin Anna said, "I have listened to all the works you have written and I like them very much. I dream of having the opportunity to invite you to sing. Today I finally saw a living person."

Jin Anna is a bit talkative.

But don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.

What's more, the other party is still his fan girl... Zhou You showed a kind attitude, "Of course you can invite song invitations. Our Big Fish Entertainment welcomes song invitations and cooperation from all parties."

"Really?"

"Um."

"Then let's add contact information?"

"good."

Zhou You agreed, took out his phone and let the other party scan it.

Jin Anna finally became quieter after adding her contact information, but she still chatted with Zhou You from time to time, while Zhou You was more willing to chat with Li Qingyao.

Time passes minute by minute.

Finally the host takes the stage!

The Starlight Awards Ceremony begins.

"Welcome to the annual Starlight Awards Ceremony..."

After the host opened the ceremony, someone from the music association made a speech and announced the start of the awards ceremony.

Immediately there was warm applause from the audience.

“It’s started, it’s started!!”

"The highlight of traveling around is coming soon."

“Looking forward to traveling on stage to receive the award!!”

"Winning the Starlight Award for Zhou You!! It's an honor for our Xia country music scene."

"I'm so nervous!!"

"Me too."

The tour off stage was equally intense.

He is looking forward to the Starlight Awards.

But the expectations are not that high.

After all, the Starlight Award is a global award!

It is definitely unrealistic to dominate the crowd and dominate the awards like the Xiaguo Music Network Awards Ceremony.

Get a trophy!

Just get a trophy and be satisfied!

The anticipation of traveling around is a trophy.

And he believes that he is most likely to win the award for Best Lyricist, after all, the lyrics of the song "May I Live Longer" are so impressive.

On Earth,

This song is written with the word "Su Shi" as the lyrics, and the barrage is absolutely "wtf, wtf, Wuyang Wuyang".

Su Shi! !

The value of the name Earth cannot be overstated.

According to the process,

The Starlight Awards first award awards in the pop music category.

Then there are music awards in rock, R&B, rap, classical and other genres.

The pop music awards will be awarded first, which means that the nominations and awards won by Zhou You and Li Qingyao will be announced at the beginning of the awards ceremony. After all, most of their masterpieces are in the pop music category.

The most important comprehensive awards, Album of the Year, Production of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Newcomer, will be awarded at the end.

Of course, special awards, such as Lifetime Achievement Award, Starlight Award for Person of the Year, Starlight Award for Person of the Hall of Glory, etc., do not need to be considered for travel at this stage.

Because there is no qualification at all.

The awards ceremony began.

The songwriters and singers at the scene became quiet and became nervous.

Pay attention to the awarding of major awards.

The award for Best Pop Vocalist was awarded first.

"Nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance!"

"Justin, Du Weier, Li Qingyao..."

The number of nominations for each award is eight.

The names and photos of eight singers appeared on the big screen.

What people didn’t expect was that Li Qingyao was on the list!

"Li Qingyao is already on the list, but Zhou You is not nominated. I don't understand."

"This unscientific."

"The creative field is what makes you travel so well. In terms of singing, it is true that Li Qingyao is not out of the circle."

"Okay, I agree with that."

“Travel could be the award for being nominated for the creative human race.”

"I feel so too."

Justin and Du Weier did not expect that Li Qingyao would also be nominated.

To know,

Seven of the eight nominated singers are international first-tier singers, and only Li Qingyao is an international second-tier singer.

Therefore, Li Qingyao is extremely special and inconspicuous among the ranks of international first-line singers.

Although it appears on the nomination list,

But Justin and Duweier did not regard them as competitors. There's no way she's going to win.

Fans of Xia Guo basically have the same view.

"Holy shit! All the nominees are first-tier international singers, and only Li Qingyao is second-tier."

"It seems that Li Qingyao has no chance of winning the Best Singer Award."

"It's nothing. Who said the opponent is too strong?"

“It’s already great to have a nomination.”

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone thinks Li Qingyao will not win the award.

Li Qingyao thinks so too.

However, what everyone did not expect was that the results announced by the award presenters were:

"The winner of this year's award for Best Pop Vocalist is!"

The award-giving guest paused,

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Hold your breath.

focus.

Tighten your nerves!

"Congratulations to Li Qingyao!"

Li Qingyao was stunned when he heard his name, "Why is it me?" Li Qingyao asked Zhou You.

"You're not bad," Zhou You said, "Hurry up and get on stage to receive the award."

Justin and Du Weier looked at each other.

Justin attended the Spring Festival Gala this year and thought that this award would be born between him and Du Weier... If it was Du Weier, Justin would be convinced.

But why is it Li Qingyao?

This new international second-tier singer?

Duweier's reactions and psychological activities are much the same as Justin's.

People at the scene and in the live broadcast room also started talking about it.

"Why is it Li Qingyao?"

"Justin and Duweier didn't win this award!"

"Ahhh!! It's Li Qingyao!! That's great."

"Congratulations to my Qingbao."

Li Qingyao’s loyal fans are really happy for Li Qingyao.

Fans of Zhou You feel that Li Qingyao has won awards, but Zhou You won one or two trophies because he didn't run away.

After Li Qingyao took the stage,

The award presenter also explained the reason for the award, "In 2024, Li Qingyao's songs such as "May You Live Longer", "Legend", and "Invisible Wings" were widely circulated around the world, with his amazing singing skills and perfect singing voice. Winning the love of fans and friends..."

In short, the core reason for winning the award is the two hundred songs "May People Live Longer" and "Legend".

These two songs directly elevated it to the altar.

As soon as the reason for winning the award came out, the dissatisfied and dissatisfied people were speechless.

Because these two songs are really awesome.

Especially "May You Live Longer".

Li Qingyao came on stage and gave an acceptance speech. He first thanked the Starlight Award, and then thanked Zhou You in particular, "I would like to especially thank Zhou You. He has helped me create many excellent works in the past year..."

in addition! !

He also became my boyfriend.

She muttered in her mind.

Li Qingyao walked off the stage with the trophy.

Another respected senior award presenter came on stage and continued to present the remaining awards.

"Nominated for Best Creator is"

"Zhou You, Kubo, Winter, Zhong Daoxuan..."

The situation was the same as when Li Qingyao was nominated. Among the seven S-level creators, Zhou You, a B-level creator, seemed particularly out of place on the nomination list.

But it’s also very eye-catching.

Because this is the first time a B-level creator has been nominated for the Starlight Award.

"The lyrics of "I hope people last forever" can help Zhou You win the best composer award."

"This wave is stable."

"Damn it!! As expected of Zhou You!! He always kills people beyond his level."

However!

The result was a huge disappointment to fans, Zhou You and others.

"The winner of the Best Creator Award is!"

"Winter!"

"Congratulations!"

There was warm applause.

Zhou You also applauded.

Although there is a huge loss in my heart.

The award presenter also announced the reasons for the award, but the fans in the live broadcast room did not accept it.

"Wouldn't "Farewell" and "May You Live Forever" help Zhou You win the Best Creator Award?"

"I'm not convinced!! There must be something shady."

"Isn't "May You Live Longer" still an indication of Zhou You's strength?"

"Why not travel around?"

"The same question!"

However, there will definitely be no response or result.

Awards have been given.

Li Qingyao held Zhou You's hand tightly and wanted to say something, but Zhou You said before she could say anything: "It's okay."

"Yeah." Li Qingyao nodded.

There is no Best Creator Award.

There should be a place for me in the Best Lyrics Award, right?

In terms of qualifications, Zhou You is indeed not as good as those S-level creators, and Zhou You can understand that.

As long as he wins the best lyricist award, he will be satisfied.

But what a pity!

There wasn't even a single nomination for Best Lyricist.

"Nothing wrong with the nomination?"

"Is the lyrics of "May You Live Longer" so unsatisfactory?"

"Is "Young China Talk" so unappealing?"

"You didn't even mention "Farewell", right?"

The reaction from fans in the live broadcast room was very intense.

Zhou You's expression gradually became colder.

No nomination for Best Lyricist?

This is very unscientific! !

Zhou You was very unconvinced.

This not only denies him, denies the system, but also denies the earth’s classics!

If you don’t give me the award, I will accept it.

Why don't you give me a nomination?

Su Shi's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" didn't even get a nomination. How did you feel about letting Su Dongpo know?

Jin Anna on the side was also aggrieved by this, "This is not fair!!"

But then he comforted Zhou You: "Maybe there are other arrangements for the Starlight Awards, such as the Song of the Year Award... What they have prepared for you is the Song of the Year Award. The album "Red" might also have a chance to win the Album of the Year Award. Production of the Year Award.”

Jin Anna's comfort helped a little.

But Zhou You no longer has high hopes for major awards.

It is clear,

The Starlight Awards are not planning to honor him this year.

As Zhou You expected,

In the following awards, Zhou You only received nominations for Album of the Year and Production of the Year.

"May You Live" was nominated for Song of the Year, but did not win the award.

Zhou You and Zhou You’s works were nominated four times in total!

But it's just a nomination.

You didn’t get a single award from Travel!

Accompany you throughout the entire run!

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Fans were dissatisfied and sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

“Not a single award!!”

“The Starlight Awards are too much.”

"Is this directed at us traveling around?"

"Exclusive!! This is the Starlight Awards exclusive!"

"They only want to award the award to singers and songwriters from Datang."

"At least the best lyricist should be awarded to Zhou You, right?"

"The Starlight Award, as the most authoritative music award in the Star Federation, actually involves secret operations!"

"unacceptable!"

People were outraged.

Because the popularity was too high and the impact was too great, the Starlight Awards had to stand up and explain: "The song "May You Live Longer" is of course an excellent work. During the award evaluation, our judges also had different opinions. In the end, it was In consideration of fairness, we award the Best Singer Award for this song to Li Qingyao..."

The general meaning is that every award in the Starlight Awards is very important.

When judging awards, try to avoid winning twice.

This is the greatest fairness to songwriters and singers.

For example, "May Life Be Long" awarded the Best Singer Award, and participated in the selection of the Best Lyricist and Best Creator Awards.

However, the public does not accept this explanation very well.

The Starlight Awards did not provide any further explanation.

Zhou You's mood at this moment is extremely complicated.

He was not satisfied with the result.

Many people in the circle laughed at him and took pleasure in his misfortune.

A fierce energy arose in Zhou You's heart!

No awards will be given to me this year!

next year!

I will sweep the Starlight Awards!

Zhou You can afford to lose, but he won't accept such unfair treatment!
