Clap clap clap.
"good!"
Flying Bird Studio applauded softly.
She was watching a video, and when she saw Zhou Tianyi miss out on the album producer award, her joy was palpable.
Sister Zhou stood aside and smiled, "Don't rush, this is just the beginning."
Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "I prefer to see him make a mess of things rather than know the outcome."
After saying that, he looked down at the screen.
She looked even more focused than when she was practicing.
...
A group of three.
"Haha, no, I have to forward this video to the group chat. We can't just be the three of us laughing."
Aikun grinned from ear to ear as he spoke in the group chat.
"I haven't finished watching it yet, but I estimate this is the funniest video of the year. Zhou Tianyi is undoubtedly the king of comedy."
After sharing the video in the fan group, Yichen said this.
"Needless to say, I haven't finished watching it yet, but just thinking about the final result makes me want to laugh."
Lianfeng popped in at the opportune moment, deliberately exiting the video call to speak to the two of them.
"I just checked, and this video has gone viral. It's true what they say, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast."
"That's right, I'm not going to say anything more, I can't wait to see Zhou Tianyi get his comeuppance."
After a brief chat, the three of them opened the video again.
...
Inside the office.
Manager Zhou's sudden silence made everyone feel a little uneasy.
An employee glanced at Manager Zhou and saw that his eyes were bloodshot.
His brows furrowed with rage.
Upon seeing this, he was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not look directly at the other person.
Manager Zhou was in a terrible mood at the moment.
The comments in the live chat are becoming increasingly direct and poignant.
Especially when the third award was announced, his expression froze like ice.
He had an air of "don't mess with me."
"Haha, this is the third award, and Zhou Tianyi is still a runner-up."
"It's fun to be a runner-up for a while, and it's also fun to be a runner-up all the time."
"Zhou Tianyi can still laugh. Just wait, it won't be long before he starts laughing and then he starts crying."
The screen was filled with bullet comments.
Everywhere you look, there are pessimistic predictions.
Manager Zhou looked like he was in excruciating pain.
"The Golden Melody Awards organizers did this on purpose. They said that very few newcomers would win awards, but the first three awards were all won by newcomers!"
Manager Zhou said through gritted teeth, "I was looking at the list and searching for the winners at the same time."
As a result, the publication dates of these people's popular science content were the same as those of Zhou Tianyi.
Even the longest they've been in the industry is only six months, while Zhou Tianyi has only been in the industry for two months. Why can't he win an award?
That's clearly prejudice!
Bias from the Golden Melody Awards official website.
While Manager Zhou was indignant on behalf of Zhou Tianyi, the fourth and fifth awards passed by in a flash.
Zhou Tianyi was nominated as always, but as always, he did not win.
At this moment, even Zhou Tianyi in the video sensed that something was wrong.
The smile on his face vanished, and he calmly looked at the others who were enjoying their moment of glory on the podium.
The barrage of comments refreshed at an incredibly fast pace.
"Oh no, Zhou Tianyi has already realized something is wrong."
"Haha, so what if he notices? He'll just have to watch obediently."
"I'm getting more and more excited to see Zhou Tianyi's expression when he finally finds out the result."
"It's so cruel, but I feel a little smug about it."
"..."
With more than half of the twelve awards already presented, Zhou Tianyi has been nominated six times, but has not won a single one.
Even the sixth award, the Best Newcomer Award, was given to a newcomer who had only debuted three months prior.
The other party also seemed surprised to receive this award.
When he accepted the award, he also mentioned Zhou Tianyi.
"Thank you, I didn't expect the official award to be given to me."
"Here, I would like to give special thanks to one person, Zhou Tianyi."
"Tianyi debuted later than me and was less lucky. I owe this award to Tianyi for giving it away."
After saying that, the other party deliberately raised the trophy towards Zhou Tianyi.
The image is frozen on Zhou Tianyi's face; although he is smiling, there is a hint of helplessness in his expression.
Upon seeing this, Manager Zhou suddenly turned off the video.
He felt a pang of guilt and could hardly bear to watch any longer.
"It was intentional, the Golden Melody Awards were definitely intentional."
Manager Zhou took a deep breath and said, his anger barely contained.
It was as if he felt the same way; he had never felt so frustrated before.
It's hard to imagine how complicated Zhou Tianyi's feelings must have been when he sat in the audience and participated in the performance.
As a music professional, he was deeply impressed by Zhou Tianyi's talent.
But at the same time, he also knew that Zhou Tianyi was clearly being targeted, and the Golden Melody Awards did not seem to have high hopes for him.
Every industry has its unspoken rules, and the Golden Melody Awards are no exception.
Knowing this is one thing, but when unspoken rules exclude people you admire, it still hurts a lot.
"well……"
In the end, Manager Zhou decided to continue watching.
The barrage of comments still greeted him, but Manager Zhou ignored them immediately.
It seems to have become a habit for Zhou Tianyi to miss out on the seventh award.
This applies not only to the current viewers' habits, but also to the habits of other viewers within the video.
It was also a habit of Manager Zhou and Zhou Tianyi.
Compared to Manager Zhou's calmness, Zhou Tianyi's calm gaze revealed a hint of profundity.
The eighth award is the team award, which Zhou Tianyi was not nominated for.
No one paid much attention, and it passed quickly.
It wasn't until the ninth award, Best Song of the Year, was announced.
