Chapter 649: The Hottest Must Die

Lin Fan felt very sorry for the musicians he had accidentally hurt, but he would never make amends.

There is no way to change it. All the English singles he released were of very good quality, widely circulated, and loved by a large number of fans. Lin Fan had no chance to hear the ones of slightly lower quality.

Therefore, accidental injuries will continue to occur.

As for what those who were accidentally injured think, whether they think Lin Fan did it on purpose, or whether they have ill will towards Lin Fan, these are not things Lin Fan can control, and he can only let nature take its course.

As for the fourth place nominee, Lin Fan said that he could take the initiative to apologize to the other party, as long as the other party did not think that he was deliberately showing off.

However, Yang Hongxia thought: "Let's just forget it and pretend we don't know about it, so as to avoid the other party getting angry and becoming an enemy even if there is no grudge."

But just because Lin Fan doesn't want to cause trouble doesn't mean the other party doesn't want to cause trouble.

Arthur, the singer who was nominated for the Best New Artist at the B Chart Music Awards together with Lin Fan, and who was ranked fourth, was checking the process with his agent.

"Is that Chinese guy sure he wants to attend the award ceremony?" Arthur asked.

The agent smiled and said, "The Chinese people still take this award ceremony very seriously. Many of their artists will come to the red carpet even without an invitation. This nominated Chinese singer will definitely not give up this opportunity. After all, as long as they show up in the backstage, they can brag about it when they return home."

Arthur said, "But he was nominated for the music festival, but he didn't show up. Instead, he attended their own award ceremony."

"Maybe he learned from some channel that he would not win the award and didn't want to come and run for the whole thing, so he didn't participate. But he can still fight for the B Chart Music Award, after all, the sales of his three songs are very good."

Arthur snorted, "What's the use of having good sales? After all, they are Chinese."

The agent agreed: "Yes, but he is a Chinese. The organizing committee will not let him take our award. Besides this Chinese, the other three nominees cannot compare with you in terms of songs or performance. Arthur, you are the best newcomer this year."

Arthur smiled, but immediately stopped smiling: "Are you sure? You know, there are still a few stubborn people on the jury who think that music has no national boundaries. No matter if the artist is from our country or not, as long as the work meets their standards, they will give out the award."

Especially the B Chart Music Award, which is an award that speaks with data. Lin Fan’s three songs have occupied the top three places on the B Chart for so long, so the competitiveness is still very strong.

In addition, this is Lin Fan's first time releasing a song overseas. As a newcomer, he is able to achieve such results. If it weren't for Lin Fan's nationality holding him back, this Best Newcomer award would have belonged to Lin Fan.

The agent smiled and said, "Isn't this easy? Spend some money to hype up Lin's popularity. You have to know that there is a saying in China that is actually very true: the most popular will die."

The more the public is optimistic about a certain singer or a certain song, the more it will actually cause the judges to have a rebellious mentality, thinking that this singer or this song does not reach a certain artistic level. You have to know that when it comes to art, the more unpopular the music is, the more it will be favored by awards.

Arthur nodded in agreement: "Then I will wait for your good news."

Therefore, before Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia arrived in the United States, reports that Lin Fan had already won the Best New Artist and Best Song awards at this year's B Chart Music Awards flooded the Internet.

Most of these reports come from various online self-media, or famous online anchors and bloggers, with a small number of radio stations and local media, and the momentum is not that huge.

However, many singers from the United States took the initiative to step down, especially several Best New Artist nominees headed by Arthur, who expressed their opinions on their social accounts: Lin is the most popular best new artist, and we are convinced that we lost to Lin! So, this wave of reports, or rumors, that came out of nowhere but were very clear in direction, quickly spread throughout the entire network! Xia Shaozhang, who was closely following Lin Fan, immediately noticed something was wrong: "This is flattery. Starting with the public, with the help of the statements of other nominees, Lin Fan was praised to the forefront. If Lin Fan doesn't win the award in the end, then these reports will become Lin Fan's black material."

If Lin Fan can win an award, these reports will be the icing on the cake. If he can't win an award, it will become a joke! More importantly, it will cause disgust among the judges.

Originally, Lin Fan, as a Chinese, went to the United States to receive the award, which in itself touched the nerves of the American people. Now with this incident, it is really easy for the judges to affect the fairness of the selection due to their personal emotions.

It was obvious that someone was making trouble, and Xia Shaozhang did not intend to wait for Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia to arrive, so he directly dealt with a large part of the reports that contained extreme remarks.

However, the rumor that Lin Fan is the strongest contender for the Best Newcomer of this year has spread all over the Internet. However, surprisingly, netizens are very receptive to this! This can be seen from the comments of netizens on this matter: [What the hell? Who is this Chinese guy? Why is he so arrogant? The award ceremony hasn't even started yet, but he thinks that this award belongs to him? ]

[When I first read this report, I almost blurted out a curse word, but then I saw that it was Lin, the Lin who sang "We will rock you", so it's okay.]

[Hahaha, me too! I was about to start cursing, but then I realized that I was talking about the singer who sang "We will rock you" and "Sugar", so he is indeed qualified to say such things.]

[Isn't "See You Again" worthy of a name? It's clearly three songs, where did you put me? ]

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

…

These reports were originally intended to arouse the disgust of netizens and the judges of the B Chart Music Awards and to flatter Lin Fan. However, it was unexpected that because Lin Fan's three singles performed so well, netizens actually accepted the statements in the reports without any obstacles!

If it was Lin Fan's unilateral self-promotion and public relations award, and he didn't win the award in the end, these publicity reports would really become a joke.

But when this matter is accepted and recognized by the public, even if Lin Fan fails to win the award in the end, the public will not laugh at Lin Fan, but will think that the members of the jury are blind.

This is a good thing! Xia Shaozhang watched as things were moving in a favorable direction, and finally decided: Forget it, don't interfere too much, just let it develop on its own.

Anyway, no matter what happens to Lin Fan, some strange changes will happen.
