Not long after they returned to the hotel, Ke Lan and Xu Chenhao arrived. Everyone has been busy with their own things recently and we haven't gotten together for a long time. When we met, we had endless things to talk about. Ji Zehui is obviously not a member of IUD, and is not very familiar with Xu Chenhao and others, but he can actually chat with everyone and looks like he doesn't want to leave.
Xie Yang let them make a fuss, called the hotel manager, and told him not to let the waiters go to this floor and not to let anyone in to disturb them, then he returned to the suite.
Everyone chatted until after eleven o'clock, and only dispersed to rest when Qin Cheng came over and urged them to.
The next day, Xie Yang got up early to prepare for the award ceremony in the afternoon.
When the waiter brought in breakfast, the hotel manager followed him. He said to Jie Yang, "Last night, a man named Zhou Zibin came to see you. We stopped him before he tried to enter this floor and, as you instructed, told him that you were having a party with friends and didn't want to be disturbed. We also asked him if he needed us to pass on a message. He refused and left the hotel on his own."
Jie Yang unexpectedly.
Zhou Zibin actually came to the hotel?
And how did Zhou Zibin know that he was staying in this hotel and which floor he was staying on?
Qin Cheng just happened to come over. When he heard what the manager said, he frowned and asked Jie Yang: "What's going on?"
Xie Yang sent the manager away first, and when he was the only one left in the room, he told him about Zhou Zibin.
Qin Cheng's face darkened after hearing this. He said, "There is a type of person in the circle who looks glamorous on the surface, but is actually a commodity with a clear price tag behind the scenes. He relies on selling his body to exchange for resources, job opportunities, and money. Zhou Zibin is such a person, and his target clients are all men. Zhou Zibin is very famous in that circle and only does things for money. He is very discerning and never flirts or makes appointments randomly, but now he actually takes the initiative to approach you."
"You mean, he was paid to seduce me?"
Qin Cheng nodded. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He said, "Fortunately, the hotel management is in place and he didn't come to your room. Fortunately, this floor is empty and the paparazzi can't get in. Otherwise, if someone took a picture of him wandering around your door or even entering your room, and then leaked it, you wouldn't be able to explain it even if you had a lot of mouths."
Xie Yang seemed to be thinking about something.
Qin Cheng continued, "Don't think this is a trivial matter. Being written about by paparazzi is not the worst thing. The worst thing is if Mr. Qiu misunderstands you after you expose the scandal..." He didn't finish the rest of the words, but the meaning was very clear.
If Xie Yang was misunderstood by Qiu Xing, he would definitely be in trouble. At the very least, he would have a conflict with Qiu Xing, or at the worst... what if they broke up?
Xie Yang also thought of this. Moreover, he had a vague feeling that if Zhou Zibin was really bought by someone, then the real purpose of the person behind the scenes in buying Zhou Zibin should be to sow discord between him and Qiu Xing.
He said, "It seems I have to find a chance to talk to Zhou Zibin."
Qin Cheng shook his head and said, "Probably nothing can be said. The reason Zhou Zibin has managed to stay in business until now is that he is tight-lipped. If he really was paid to get close to you, he would never tell you who paid for it."
"Whether he keeps his mouth shut depends on whether the benefits are big enough and the threats are severe enough. Don't worry, I'm not going to use money to hit him. Go find someone to test him, and when testing him, try to make up some particularly powerful fake background for me. If you can scare him into telling the truth, that would be the best. If not, then observe his reaction."
"reaction?"
"Well, if he's very nervous, then the person who bought him probably doesn't have a strong background. If he's very calm, then that proves the person who bought him has a strong background. There are only a few people who don't like me, and you can make a rough guess based on his reaction."
Qin Cheng understood, and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to scare him right away."
…
The award ceremony started on time at one o'clock in the afternoon. All the nominees had to walk the red carpet. Jie Yang was arranged to walk with the other members of the new IUD group, in the middle, which was neither good nor bad.
After stepping onto the red carpet, Xie Yang consciously walked to the side, leaving the middle position for Tong Jian and Ke Lan.
Coincidentally, the people walking in front of them were Yuan Pang and Mu Zhouyi. When they reached the middle of the red carpet, Mu Zhouyi and Yuan Pang happened to walk in front of the autograph board and were interviewed by the host in one sentence.
Xie Yang looked at Mu Zhouyi from a distance.
Today, Mu Zhouyi was wearing a long-sleeved dress with her hair tied up. She looked gentle and elegant. Her exposed skin seemed to have regained its fair color, and her hair was also soft and shiny.
Xie Yang withdrew his gaze.
Is Mu Zhouyi using the likeability value to optimize himself again?
But where does Mu Zhouyi get so many like points to use? She hasn't had any works or exposure for such a long time, and she has been involved in rumors of being a mistress. Her image and reputation have plummeted to the bottom. It should have been a long time since she received any new like points.
Moreover, Mu Zhouyi should have used her favorability skills on Hong Zhijie and Feng Qingbai a lot during this period. Even if she had accumulated a lot of favorability points in the past, there should be very little left now, and she cannot afford to squander it.
Mu Zhouyi’s interview ended, and he followed Yuan Pang into the award ceremony venue.
Xie Yang gathered his thoughts and followed Tong Jian and the others to the signature board. They signed their names and then walked to the host for a one-sentence interview. After the interview, several people went to the backstage.
Like their seats on the red carpet, the new IUD's seats backstage are also in the middle, sitting together with other singing groups and more famous new generation singers in the circle.
After Xie Yang sat down, he discovered that the person sitting next to him was Xue Xian. What was even more coincidental was that the person sitting in front of him was Ge Zhuo. Xue Xian looked embarrassed. After saying hello to Jie Yang, he went to talk to the singer sitting on the other side of him.
Xie Yang glanced around the venue and found that Ji Zehui was sitting in the second row, next to Yuan Pang. Mu Zhouyi was not next to Yuan Pang, and no one knew where he sat.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the award ceremony in the back field officially began.
In the first half hour, some small and unimportant prizes were awarded, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. After the small awards were presented, there were performances. After the performances, the first relatively important award of the day, Best Lyrics, was finally presented.
Both Xie Yang and Ke Lan were shortlisted for this award. Xie Yang's shortlisted song is "Reincarnation" and Ke Lan's shortlisted song is "Iud". Tong Jian became visibly nervous and unconsciously reached out to grab Jie Yang's sleeve.
Xie Yang looked at his hands, then at the camera that was swinging over, pulled out his sleeves, and comforted Tong Jian, "Don't worry, IUD is very good."
The song "iud" embodies the hard work of the entire new iud team. The lyrics were written by Ke Lan based on the psychological changes he has experienced over the past few years in the group. It is the condensation of his emotions and is very touching. Although "Reincarnation" is not bad, it is still a little worse than "IUD".
When the final awards were announced, "iud" won the Best Lyrics Award.
Ke Lan suddenly loosened her clenched hands, stood up amid the applause, walked past Tong Jian, and gave the first hug to Li Yang. Ke Lan's voice was a little choked up, and she said, "Thank you."
Xie Yang patted Ke Lan on the back and said, "This is just the beginning."
This is really just the beginning.
Not long after the Best Lyricist award, it was the turn of the Best Arranger, and "iud" was nominated again. In the end, Xu Chenhao won the Best Arrangement Award with "iud", while Jie Yang's work nominated for Best Arrangement - "Happy" - a new song he made for Tong Jian, unfortunately lost.
Like Ke Lan, Xu Chenhao hugged Li Yang the first thing he did after he stood up. Xie Yang said nothing, but smiled and patted Xu Chenhao on the shoulder.
Soon, it was time for the best composition. "IUD" was shortlisted again, and was placed together with the works of Xue Xian, Ge Zhuo and others.
Tong Jian, Ke Lan and Xu Chenhao were all secretly excited. As long as it wins the Best Composition award, "iud" will officially become the true song of the year. Moreover, the soul of "iud" is composition, so this award must belong to Jie Yang! It is such an honor for a song to win Best Composition, Best Lyrics, and Best Arrangement at the same time!
After the award presenter kept the audience in suspense for a while, the winner was announced: Ge Zhuo.
Except for Jie Yang, everyone in this row, including Tong Jian, Ke Lan, Xu Chenhao, and even Xue Xian, all had dazed expressions, and then looked towards Jie Yang at the same time. The camera turned over and Xie Yang led the applause, and pushed Tong Jian subtly with his elbow.
Everyone came back to their senses, and led by Jie Yang, everyone in the row started to applaud.
Ge Zhuo stood up and prepared to go on stage to receive the award. With a smile on his face, he shook hands with the people sitting next to him, and even turned his head to nod at Jie Yang and Xue Xian before walking out.
As soon as the camera left, Tong Jian immediately stopped clapping, feeling aggrieved and unwilling, and said, "How could this happen..."
Xie Yang patted Tong Jian's arm and told him to stop talking nonsense.
Although Ke Lan and Xu Chenhao controlled their expressions and said nothing, their thoughts were the same as Tong Jian's.
Yes, how could this be? Ge Zhuo’s work is obviously not as good as “IUD”.
Afterwards, all the major awards were announced one by one, and finally Jie Yang won two heavyweight individual awards, one for Best Single Producer and one for Best Album Producer. The song that won him the Best Single Producer award was "iud", and the song that won him the Best Album Producer award was "Tong Yu" by Tong Jian.
At the young age of 20, in the first year of his debut, he won two producer awards representing the highest standards. If it were any other singer, he would probably cry with excitement, but Jie Yang was very calm. He behaved generously and calmly on stage both times, like a veteran producer who has been through many battles and won countless awards.
Although he did not win the Best Composition, Lyrics or Arrangement awards, there is no doubt that Jie Yang is the biggest winner of this year's Golden Melody Awards.
Finally, the highlight arrived and the Best Group Award was presented. The new IUD won the trophy with their mini album "IUD", replicating the glory of their debut.
When receiving the award, Xie Yang finally showed a smile that suited his age. When Ke Lan was giving her acceptance speech, he looked at the camera and shook the trophy in his hand.
…
The award ceremony was gradually coming to an end. Before presenting the last three heavyweight awards - Best Male Singer, Best Female Singer, and Best Album - the host introduced a warm-up performance according to the procedure.
After that, the host left the stage, and Mu Zhouyi, who was wearing a long skirt and was so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing, walked onto the stage holding the microphone and holding up the hem of her skirt.
Below the stage, Xie Yang looked at Mu Zhouyi standing in the center of the stage. He moved his fingers and began to mobilize the supernatural powers that had been restored in his core today.
