Back in her seat, Zheng Xiuli took Fang Yang's trophy and said with concern, "It's really inconvenient not having a table. Look, I can't even carry it all anymore. If all else fails, I'll just put it on the floor."

Zhang Ze, who had been watching this scene closely, twitched his eye. He really didn't know how to describe it. This was like something out of Versailles. "President Fang, I didn't expect you to use this method to advertise Zheng Xiuli's album. I bet the organizers are already thinking about how to ask you for advertising fees."

Fang Yang waved his hand, "When you're poor, you have to think of ways to change things. Saying something on the front page will save me at least a few million in advertising fees. Why not? Besides, the organizers won't lose anything."

Zhang Ze rolled his eyes. Once this person becomes shameless, he'll even plaster advertisements all over the latrine. The worst part is that he's unwilling to pay a single penny, and he's even more self-righteous about it. Maybe that's the difference between him being the boss and me being just a worker!

Just as Fang Yang and Zhang Ze were joking around, the nominees for the next award, Best Album Producer, were being introduced. Zhong Hongbao was the first to be introduced for producing Fang Yang's phenomenal album. Given the album's sales record and production quality, Zhong Hongbao had a high probability of winning, since results determine everything.

Zhang Ze was starting to feel a little sour. "President Fang, it seems your company is the biggest winner this time. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

"Trouble?" Fang Yang frowned at Zhang Ze. "What trouble? Do you think someone can take a piece of my flesh?"

"No, but the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. You'll face some attacks in the future. They might not dare to target you openly, but your artists will suffer some unfair treatment."

Fang Yang waved his hand, "I'm not afraid of that. It's only mediocre people who aren't envied! There's no such thing as a smooth road ahead. As long as it's fair competition, we're happy to play along. But if anyone resorts to underhanded tactics, violates the principles of fair competition, or even goes so far as to use ruthless methods, we will definitely retaliate tenfold!"

Zhang Ze was also startled by Fang Yang's serious demeanor. Seeing the solemn expression on the overly young face, he waved his hand and said, "It's not that I have any ill intentions towards your company, but I'm just reminding you to be more careful. In recent years, some unethical practices have been rampant in the industry. It's hard to promote someone, but it's easy to ruin them. Even I am very careful when I travel, for fear that I might accidentally fall into an abyss!"

Fang Yang glanced at Zheng Xiuli, and seeing Zheng Xiuli nod in agreement, he thanked Zhang Ze and said, "This was our oversight. We will strengthen the safety level of our artists in the future. However, as I said before, it is the consumers who pay the price. Even if someone succeeds for a while, they can't hide it forever. In the end, the data will speak for itself. We are not afraid of any challenge in this regard."

Zhang Ze remained noncommittal about Fang Yang's stubbornness, saying that everyone has their own way of handling things. As an artist, Zhang Ze believed in making money through harmony, but this principle couldn't be applied to Fang Yang. Artists are different from capital; one's perspective is determined by one's position. Zhang Ze simply wanted to make a good connection and would stop there.

Fang Yang didn't completely dismiss Zhang Ze's reminder; at the very least, the safety of the artists needed to be prioritized.

Fang Yang had mentioned the idea of ​​setting up a security department to his older brother before the New Year. However, since the company headquarters was not yet completed, it was not on the agenda for the time being. But now, with Zhang Ze's reminder, Fang Yang also felt that safety was the top priority and that the establishment of a security department should be taken seriously.

Fang Yang didn't care about other aspects of competition. Competition is everywhere in modern society. Even teachers in schools, which are known as ivory towers, face a series of competitions such as evaluation, commendation, and rating. Let alone other industries!

While Yang was thinking about something on stage, Qi Lu announced that Zhong Hongbao had won the Best Record Producer Award. Zhong Hongbao, who had never won an award before, was especially happy at this moment. After hugging Zhu Laosan and others, he scurried up to the stage to accept the award.

The audience was a bit excited. Before they knew it, Fang Yang and his team had won six major awards, accounting for half of all the awards already given out. This made some large companies a little embarrassed. The awards ceremony was already halfway through, and the companies still hadn't won anything. This would affect the companies' plans for next year, and some projects might even be stalled.

Fang Yang didn't feel that way. He was happy to receive an award, but it didn't matter if he didn't. However, for his employees, winning an award meant gaining recognition in the industry and improving their social standing when they went out to do business. Therefore, this award was the highest honor for Zhu Laosan and others!

Watching Zhong Hongbao share his feelings about winning the trophy with Zhu Laosan and others after stepping down from the stage, Fang Yang smiled slightly. Although the songs played a role in this, there was no doubt that the entire Black Panther band had put a lot of effort into the soundtrack for this album.

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Fang Yang missed out on the next few awards, which made the atmosphere in the audience a little more intense. However, the Best Single Producer Award was once again won by Zhong Hongbao with the outstanding performance of "Blue and White Porcelain," which left the audience speechless once again.

This is a bit too much! The grand prize hasn't even been announced yet, and all the peripheral prizes have already been won by people from Fang Yang's company. Moreover, judging from this process, it seems that Fang Yang will also snatch up the grand prize this year, and all the other companies will just be bystanders!

The thought is terrifying. I'm afraid that tomorrow all the entertainment newspapers will be filled with news of Fang Yang's company winning an award. By the way, this year's event was the first to be broadcast live. I'm afraid that people at home and abroad have already seen this grand occasion, and the internet has been blown up.

The thought crossed everyone's mind: it was truly unbelievable that one company could crush all others!

Is it because the singers' singing abilities differ too much?

No, there are many divas and singers at the event, whose singing levels have reached their peak, and each has their own unique characteristics. No one dares to say that they can beat everyone else.

As for the band's music, there's no need to elaborate. Everyone knows the Black Panther Band's playing level is above average; to say they're top-tier is a long shot. There are at least two or three bands that are much better than the Black Panther Band at the live performance.

Putting all these factors aside, it all comes down to lyrics and composition. Fang Yang has already won two major awards for best lyrics and composition. At first, everyone was just watching the show, but as the awards ceremony progressed and Fang Yang's team swept up several more awards, everyone started to take this issue seriously!

Qu Die's status in various companies is naturally unparalleled, but at this moment he is also a little uneasy. After all, the true soul of a song still lies in the composer and lyricist.

There are so many singers, but the ability to create timeless masterpieces still rests on the shoulders of lyricists and composers. Some songs may be temporarily buried in the dust, but they will never be buried forever; history will eventually give them a legendary day.

At this moment, the faces of the several singers in the audience were flushed. They couldn't bear the stares of everyone around them. Who could guarantee that every song would become a classic? Was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of a moment's setback? Maybe Fang Yang's success was just a flash in the pan!

Everyone has their moment of glory!
