The seasoned veterans quickly regained their composure. The status of a "musical master" is relative; there are only a handful of such masters nationwide, and after their initial embarrassment, they immediately rallied, thinking they should be a little more serious in the future. They decided to reduce their leisure time by at least half a month each year. The young people were too energetic, releasing over a dozen songs a year – it was practically killing them!

The thought of having to work harder to write one or two more songs in the future makes the songwriters a little apprehensive. Wouldn't it be better to write one or two songs a year? Why not spend your free time at home taking care of your grandchildren or visiting old friends? Why go through all that trouble?

Why can't you just quietly shine in the film and television industry? Why come here to stir up trouble and disturb the peaceful lives of us old folks?

The awards ceremony continued on stage, and somewhat surprisingly, Chung Hung-pao missed out on both the Best Arranger and Best Recording Engineer awards, which was a little disappointing.

Subsequent awards such as Best Children's Song Album, Best Spiritual Album, Best Crossover Album, Best Opera Album, and Best Folk Song Album all had absolutely no connection to Fang Yang.

Without Fang Yang, the audience became lively again. It is said that fish only have a seven-second memory, but humans are also forgetful animals. After winning their awards, they all put their previous unpleasantness behind them, and the scene became harmonious again.

This must have been intentional on the part of the organizers. Looking at the cheerful crowd going up to the stage to receive their awards, Zhang Ze smiled and said, "It seems there aren't any major problems, unless you go up to the stage to receive an award tonight."

Fang Yang raised an eyebrow. "Do you think that's possible? At least I'll still have a few songs on the list of ten hit songs, right?"

Zhang Ze thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. You've already won Best Composer and Best Lyricist, so it's only natural that your song is among the top ten. It's a must."

"So, do you think anyone will still be jealous?"

"Haha," Zhang Ze chuckled. "That's for sure. But a talent that isn't envied is a talent. I'm sure President Fang won't take this little thing to heart. Actually, it's good this way. Competition is what produces good works. A stagnant pool for too long can easily lead to laziness. I think that's what the organizers want to see."

Fang Yang gave Zhang Ze a meaningful look. There are quite a few smart people in this world, but very few of them are simple-minded and can successfully gain a foothold in this industry!

Next, Fang Yang deservedly won the Best Mandarin Male Singer award with "Blue and White Porcelain," while Zhang Xiuli was unbeatable with "Wishing We Last Forever" for Best Mandarin Female Singer. Fang Yang also stole the show with "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," and Zheng Xiuli won the Best Cantonese Female Singer award with "Easily Hurt Woman."

The four prestigious awards stunned the guests who joined the event, and also made the viewers in front of the TV and the netizens in the live broadcast room very happy. The Chinese Golden Melody Awards have been held for more than ten sessions, and there has never been a time when a single company has swept so many awards. Moreover, looking at Zheng Xiuli's appearance, everyone was laughing so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

As Zheng Xiuli said, it's really inconvenient without a table. Zheng Xiuli is sitting upright in her seat. There are too many trophies to hold in both hands, so she puts all the awards on the skirt between her legs. Her lips are so pouty that you could hang a soy sauce bottle on them!

"Haha, my poor wife Zheng Xiuli, she has eight trophies that she can't even hold in both hands. Is this what they call the 'trotter trouble'?"

"Pfft, the person upstairs is a genius. I'm afraid everyone would have such a problem. It's just that Fang Yang is simply inhuman. He doesn't treat my Zheng Xiuli like a human being."

"Pah, Mr. Fang is the boss. If you, Zheng Xiuli, don't want to take things, there are plenty of people who will. Look at all the people around you who are envious and jealous. They all wish they could switch places with Zheng Xiuli."

"That's true. There are also several prestigious awards. I'm afraid Mr. Fang will buy a whole bag of trophies this time. It'll be a problem how to get them back!"

"That's good too. Award ceremonies in their later years are all about 'you're good, I'm good, everyone's good,' and they become less and less interesting. An award ceremony where you can guess the ending from the beginning has no soul!"

"Indeed, with Mr. Fang stirring things up like this, maybe a few classic songs will be released next year. People won't move unless they're pushed."

"I think Mr. Fang is like the catfish in my hometown. Originally, the fish in the pond were stagnant, and the fish that were raised were never ideal. Later, an old professor suggested putting a few catfish in the pond to force the fish to exercise more. Now, not only do they taste much better, but the yield has also increased significantly."

"The guy upstairs is right. This is called the catfish effect. It has been proven by scientists and it makes a lot of sense. Besides, look at the TV dramas now. Aren't they much better than before? This is also thanks to Boss Fang. He forced you to adapt the dramas by using ratings. Otherwise, no TV station would buy your dramas. Look at the past six months. There are far fewer of those cringeworthy TV dramas starring popular celebrities."

"There is a bit of that flavor. I see that Kun Kun doesn't get any offers to act in TV dramas now. He can only hang out in variety shows all day. It's nothing like before, when he could just recite lines and get the scenes right. The scenes were all done with green screen, which looked very fake."

“You people, my Kunkun works so hard, 25 hours a day. He’s not as bad as you say. Only people like you who do nothing all day would keep harping on my Kunkun.”

"Yes, your Kunkun is really hardworking. He complained about going to the hospital as soon as he got a small scratch on his finger, causing the entire crew to stop filming for three days. However, his finger had already scabbed over before he even got to the hospital."

"Sisters, someone is slandering our Kun Kun, let's go and teach him a lesson."

However, there were few responses. In recent months, the entire online trend has changed. The traffic stars who used to cause screams as soon as they appeared are showing signs of leaving the market as their appearances decrease. Apart from variety shows, they are increasingly retiring from the TV drama and music scenes.

On the contrary, minor actors like Zhu Qi and Zhou Yi, who were previously unknown, have become very popular. With their handsome appearances and a little bit of acting skills, they have begun to emerge and have more opportunities to act.

Fang Yang was unfortunately not selected for the Top Ten Chinese Albums because his album contained Cantonese songs, and he also did not make the Top Ten Cantonese Albums list. The atmosphere became lively again, with cheers and laughter celebrating this rare moment of glory.

After all, these two top ten awards combined represent twenty singers and albums. The stage was filled with award-winning singers, including all the top stars, ensuring everyone received an award. This made the executives of each company very happy, finally managing to salvage their dignity.

However, the Best Rock Artist award once again went to Fang Yang's "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," casting a shadow over everyone's minds. Just how many awards will this Mr. Fang take home?
