Chapter 634: Awarding the Boss an Award? Definitely!
"I've waited a thousand years, just one chance..."
Zhou Yue was holding his cell phone in the Earthling Studio, listening to the song "A Thousand Years of Waiting" for the 101st time. When he was about to listen to it for the 102nd time, a phone call came in.
However, Zhou Yue had also changed his cell phone ringtone to this song. He didn’t react at first and thought it was playing for the 102nd time, so he just kept listening.
But after listening to half of the song, the phone was hung up, the music stopped, and the song from the phone's player came out. Zhou Yue realized something was wrong and picked up the phone to see that there was a missed call.
Just when I was about to ignore it, another phone call came in.
After looking at the name note, I found that it was an acquaintance.
Member of the China Golden Melody Awards Organizing Committee, Zhou Yue’s old friend, Meng Anping.
Zhou Yue suddenly didn't want to answer the call anymore.
However, Meng Anping knew Zhou Yue's personality very well. He was most afraid of being harassed. It didn't matter if he didn't answer the phone. He would keep calling until he got tired of it and had to answer the phone! As expected, after Meng Anping tirelessly called more than 20 times, Zhou Yue was so annoyed that he had to answer the phone: "Hello, I'm busy. I'm not going!"
Meng Anping: ...Oh! You old man, you want to pull up your pants and turn your back on me again! How can this be possible! "If you don't come, who will give the award to your new boss?"
Zhou Yue paused as he was about to hang up the phone, then put the phone to his ear again as if nothing had happened: "Hello, hello, hello, the signal was bad just now, can you tell me again? Who did you give the award to?"
Meng Anping: ...So, we must hold back on things like the Golden Melody Awards, and not give them out too easily! Otherwise, it will be like this old guy, after he has won all the awards he can, he will become arrogant. Every year, we have to think of ways to beg him to participate in various ways! If I had known earlier, I would have held back on giving him any awards, and see if he would still be arrogant! However, no matter how much I complained in my heart, I couldn't change the fact that Zhou Yue had already won all the Golden Melody Awards. Meng Anping sighed, "The invitations have been sent to you, so just give me a definite answer, are you coming or not?"
Zhou Yue said: "Then you give me a definite answer first, who will win the award? Who should I give the award to?"
Although the new boss is Lin Fan, Xia Yan is the boss's wife!
Of course Meng Anping was unwilling to tell Zhou Yue directly: "The final voting results haven't come out yet!"
I can't tell you even if it comes out! Zhou Yue didn't know that Meng Anping was deliberately teasing him: "Old Meng, this is boring. Let's not talk about anything else. Did I give you face last year? Did I attend?
I can’t say that none of the new songs released this year are any good, anyway, their fighting power can’t be compared with Lin Fan. If you would rather give the award to those songs, then I really don’t want to go! ”
Zhou Yue didn't want to attend the Golden Melody Awards. Besides the fact that there were no more awards that could attract him, the biggest reason was that he didn't want to see all those random people winning awards. It made him look like he was on the same level as them, which made him angry! Nowadays, the Golden Melody Awards have fallen to the point where you can win by singing a high note. Some young people even brag about it. It's ridiculous!
But what can we do?
The Golden Melody Awards also need to make a living, and there are various conflicts of interest among the organizing committee members. A purely technical award cannot survive. If the Golden Melody Awards wants to balance the relationship between professionalism and the market, it has to make some trade-offs.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the Golden Melody Awards have to compromise with the market, capital, and even traffic on some awards.
Zhou Yue alone could not influence the entire organizing committee of the Golden Melody Awards, so he could only choose not to attend, not to support or oppose, and to confront in silence.
To be honest, the Golden Melody Awards have a bottom line. The awards they give out are always accepted by most people. Even if there are some compromises, they will not be disgusting. Therefore, Zhou Yue will occasionally give face and attend one or two episodes, and has not completely fallen out with the Golden Melody Awards.
But if Meng Anping wanted to persuade Zhou Yue to attend, he had to offer something; it was obvious that he would not be able to impress this old guy.
"Old Zhou, you also said that we are not close friends. If there is no winner you like, why would I ask you to attend and present the award?"
Meng Anping knew that if he dared to fool Zhou Yue, the old man would definitely hit him on the head, so he simply gave a clearer hint, "I don't know what the specific award is, the voting results haven't come out yet. But I'm sure that your new employer will definitely have someone who can win! And it's a heavyweight award!"
Zhou Yue was finally satisfied after getting the information he wanted: "Okay then, I'll take a look at it then."
Meng Anping was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by 'take a look'? Come if you want! I have told you such important news, and you can't give me some reassurance? Whether you are coming or not, give me a definite answer!"
Zhou Yue laughed: "Come on! I will definitely attend if my new employer wins an award! But if you dare to trick me and give awards to those traffic stars or idols, humph!"
After getting Zhou Yue's approval, Meng Anping was overjoyed: "Just come! Don't worry, when have I ever cheated you? I have sent you the invitation letter, remember what you said!"
As if afraid that Zhou Yue would go back on his word, Meng Anping quickly hung up the phone.
Zhou Yue thought about it, took out his phone and prepared to report the good news to his new employer, and also to give some inside information so that Lin Fan and Xia Yan could go to the Golden Melody Awards with peace of mind.
But as soon as he got downstairs, he was caught by Yang Hongxia: "Teacher Zhou! I have good news!"
Good news? Did Yang Hongxia also know about the Golden Melody Awards? Zhou Yue smiled and said, "Hongxia, you are very well-informed. I just received the news and you already know it. Then I don't have to make an extra trip."
Yang Hongxia was surprised: "Teacher Zhou also knows?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhou Yue nodded: "I just found out about it too. I was thinking of looking for you guys! But Hongxia, just keep it to yourself. You arranged Lin Fan and Xia Yan's schedule anyway. Just let me know later. I don't have anything else to do anyway."
Yang Hongxia said in surprise: "Teacher Zhou, are you going to accompany Lin Fan? That's great. I haven't participated in a foreign song award ceremony yet, and I'm worried that no one will give me advice! Teacher Zhou, it's really a great help for me that you are willing to go with me!"
Zhou Yue was confused: "Wait, what do you mean by abroad? The Golden Melody Awards will be held abroad this year? How come I didn't know that?"
Yang Hongxia was even more confused: "Huh? Aren't we talking about the Billboard Music Awards? What does it have to do with the Golden Melody Awards?"
Zhou Yue: …
Yang Hongxia: …
The relationship is all about talking at cross purposes! The two people are talking about exactly the same thing!
But Zhou Yue and Yang Hongxia have been in the circle for so many years and have seen all kinds of situations. They don’t take this little embarrassment seriously at all.
Zhou Yue coughed dryly. "Well, someone from the Golden Melody Awards organizing committee just called me and said that this year there will be a heavyweight award between Lin Fan and Xia Yan. What's the situation on your side?"
Yang Hongxia was also happy when she heard this: "I just received an invitation letter from the Billboard Music Awards, inviting Lin Fan to attend the awards ceremony, and Lin Fan's three English singles have been nominated!"
