Before Dai Shutao left, Xiao Xu tried hard to give her extra lessons.
It is probably very likely that Dai Shutao will win the award, but the most valuable Golden Melody Award will definitely not go to Dai Shutao. After all, it is a music awards ceremony with the word "Asia" in its name. Not only domestic musicians but also foreign singers come to participate, and among them are veteran producers who have been in the music industry for more than 50 years.
Dai Shutao also took the time to listen to the other party's works. It must be said that the experience brought by time is really important. Just the preludes of the songs that Dai Shutao listened to were enough to capture people's hearts.
If there were anyone present who could convince Dai Shutao, it would probably be only those true veterans who had spent half a decade and even half their lives in the music industry.
In a short while, the host had read out the list of winners of most awards. Amidst thunderous applause, even a musician next to Dai Shutao received a trophy, and he could not hide his joy on his face.
In their view, they have spent so many years working hard not only for fame and fortune, but also for public recognition, and the trophies they have won are equivalent to affirmation of them.
After waiting for rounds and rounds, the host finally called Dai Shutao's name. She deserved the Best Newcomer Award and the Most Promising Female Singer Award.
After delivering a brief thank-you speech, Dai Shutao had barely taken a few steps off the stage when she heard the host's excited call: "Please stay, Taozi. Today, we will celebrate the first triple-yolk musician of this year! Let us welcome the Best Golden Melody Award winner, Dai! Shu! Tao!, and please return to the stage to accept your award!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of the musicians present slowly faded. Even Dai Shutao frowned, and in her beautiful eyes there was not only disbelief but also a hint of anger.
Xiao Xu, who was recording all this at the backstage, finally panicked and looked at the staff around him with unforgivable anger.
"What's going on?"
The staff did not expect such a result and quickly apologized and called the judging panel to confirm.
The main reason for their anger was that Dai Shutao would be attacked because of this early honor.
Dai Shutao's anger stemmed from the absurdity of the organizing committee.
Because Dai Shutao had been standing in the same place without moving, the light from above her head made the cold light in Dai Shutao's eyes even clearer, which made the host couldn't help but shift his gaze and caused some tension in his heart.
He held the cue card in his hand but couldn't make any sound. It was not until now that he realized how much influence his words would have.
The veteran musicians sitting in the front row all had sad eyes at this moment.
Many of them are already over 50 years old. They have everything, whether it is fame or fortune. Even so, they still want to win awards that can recognize their strength in the last few years of their lives.
But they didn't expect that reality would give them a hard slap in the face.
It is undeniable that Dai Shutao has the ability, but behind his ability, there are also veteran creators with rich experience.
The most veteran female singer closest to Dai Shutao has missed the Golden Melody Awards for six consecutive years. Everyone says that she is just a little short of it. As for this year's work, she also worked hard to create it. Despite this, she still got such a result.
Perhaps they should have known long ago that today's award ceremonies not only consider the singer's personal ability, but also his fame and number of fans.
Among the people present, Dai Shutao is probably the most balanced young actress of the new era, and these front-wave stars will eventually be washed ashore by the back-waves. This is the helplessness of the end of an era.
The host heard the organizer's urging voice in his earphones, asking him to liven up the atmosphere and repeatedly emphasizing that the organizing committee's decision was correct and that Dai Shutao was indeed the winner of this year's Golden Melody Award.
The host swallowed his saliva and livened up the atmosphere somewhat stiffly. This was also the most ridiculous thing he had encountered in his hosting career.
Finally, when the music sounded again, Dai Shutao seemed to come back to his senses. He raised his feet and walked towards the stage step by step, which made the host breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the two trophies in Dai Shutao's hands, they had already been handed over to his assistant who came jogging over. He himself had an indifferent look on his face, and did not have the decency and good mood he had when he first won the awards.
"Hello everyone."
After stopping, Dai Shutao looked around and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
This situation was so familiar. She had encountered this situation in her previous life when she was still working behind the scenes.
The most valuable trophy was not awarded to the person who deserved it, but was won by a new-age superstar who suddenly emerged.
The reason is very simple. The organizers and the judging panel took into consideration the fans and commercial value behind the new-age superstar, and concluded that after he won such a prestigious award, he would definitely return the favor and bring greater profits to the music market, thus becoming the most profitable tool in their hands.
In the end, the so-called little king who won the award was unable to continue to shine in the music market. Instead, he took advantage of this favorable situation to enter the film and television industry and finally made a fortune.
Until Dai Shutao came into this world, one could still occasionally see various news about this little superstar's happy life.
The organizers, the jury, and the investors behind them are calculating a lot. In their view, this award, which countless musicians have worked hard to get, has no meaning. It is just a reflection of commercial value and a symbol to prove their means.
What they need is one perfect copy after another, and the object they choose is just their current self.
Even if the world changes, the same routine remains unchanged.
Dai Shutao's stomach suddenly churned, but she forced it down.
Vomiting on the spot after receiving the award would definitely cause an uproar, right?
But it doesn't matter, she is going to do something even more eye-catching next.
"I'm a new singer, Dai Shutao."
Dai Shutao expertly grasped the microphone on the stand, glanced around, and nodded apologetically to the rows of established songwriters closest to the stage. She then said, "I'm very grateful to the organizers for awarding me the Newcomer Award and the Best Potential Award, and to everyone here for their recognition. I'm also very grateful to the organizers for inviting me to this awards ceremony. This is a recognition of my musical career. Thank you."
After saying this, Dai Shutao bowed to everyone present. When she stood up, she spoke calmly, word by word, "I love music and respect it, so I refuse to accept the Golden Melody Award. I'm sorry."
