Chapter 201: Golden Melody Awards “shocking” Sci-fi Blockbuster 《magic City Fortress》
【Chi Ge,《Jiangnan》 has been nominated for the Golden Melody Awards, starting in half a month.】
Keke sent a message about《Jiangnan》’s nomination for the Golden Melody Awards.
Speaking of this, actually《Jiangnan》’s release time was a bit too late to apply for the Golden Melody Awards, and generally Mainland singers have very “strict” conditions for applying for the Golden Melody Awards.
The most basic requirement among them is that works applying for the Golden Melody Awards must be submitted by local Taipei companies for spots; out-of-town record companies do not have the conditions to apply.
In this, Jin Sui clearly played an important role.
Because her aunt herself has certain connections and influence in Hong Kong and Taipei, plus “Professor Chi”‘s popularity in the Southeast Asia region, after some operations, she managed to catch the tail end of this year’s Golden Melody Awards application through her relationship.
——Of course, even without this relationship, Chi Ye would probably have been nominated for the Golden Melody Awards this year.
This was the message he received later.
The leader called him and said only one sentence: “Hard work, Xiao Chi, go get the award.”
Chi Ye instantly understood the higher-up’s intention.
Here is a brief introduction to the Golden Melody Awards.
Although the Chinese Music Scene has gradually declined in recent years, the Golden Melody Awards is truly the highest award in the Chinese Music Scene, without exception.
In the early years, countless Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens in the music industry were called “Heavenly Kings” and rose to fame precisely because they won the Golden Melody Awards.
This is different from the “King of Singers” after《singers》 win championships.
The Golden Melody Awards’ influence in the music industry can be equated to the three golden Movie Emperor awards in film and television, and is recognized by the industry as a top-tier award.
To put it this way, Ying Zi is called the “uncrowned king” of the Golden Melody Awards, nominated three times but never won once… In this, it’s no longer much related to singing skill, more due to other reasons.
Besides Ying Zi, Teacher Han Hong has such strong singing skill but hasn’t even had a single nomination.
The rest, big and small powerful singers, King of Singers and Singer Queens in the（Mainland） region of the Chinese Music Scene, none have truly won the Golden Melody Awards.
Yes, not a single one; Mainland history has zero winners.
The few who have been nominated were originally signed to Taipei record companies for debut, and after coming to the Mainland, they basically lost the possibility of winning the Golden Melody Awards.
Ironically, the Golden Melody Awards is not quite like the Golden Horse Awards; the Golden Horse is now much criticized, but the Golden Melody Awards is one of the most authoritative awards in the music industry, the highest honor in Chinese music.
So, the meaning of the leader’s words is very clear: the time to “represent” has come again.
Due to “Professor Chi”‘s popularity, Chi Ye is now actually a very “special” existence.
He is not only disparity-popular in the Mainland; in the entire Southeast Asia, Professor Chi still has enormous influence—especially since《Xing Ni》 aired, he hasn’t been to Taipei once.
So, Professor Chi’s first trip to Taiwan is bound to be “of great significance.”
——Taiwan entertainment and the Golden Melody Awards are desperate for him to come; Taiwan region fans are “overjoyed to tears.”
——Mainland fans are looking forward eagerly, even the entire Chinese Music Scene is waiting for the final result reveal, to see if he can “break through the siege” and make history.
Even in deeper cultural “breakthrough” aspects…
Indeed of great significance.
Chi Ye originally didn’t have this schedule, but since he has to “represent” again, he does need to go there personally to check.
Additionally, on this trip to Taiwan, he has many other things to handle, like the upcoming《influenza》 film crew, needing to check the Taipei filming location, and the big shot’s post-release filming in Taipei… and…
A certain Ning-surnamed artist thinks he’s super bad, and he feels he can’t take the blame, needs to shake it off.
“Where are you going?”
That day, after Chi Ye finished communicating with the film crew and was about to leave the crew, Sister Shang, who had been sulking, called out to him.
Chi Ye said straightforwardly: “Didn’t I say? I’m going to the Golden Melody Awards to show off.”
Sister Shang wavered: “Can’t you not show off?”
Chi Ye: “Huh?”
“……If you go, what about me.”
Sister Shang was low in emotion: “Also, that ending of yours is no good, ‘I’ don’t accept it.”
Chi Ye: “……”
He looked at Shang Youshu with slight concern: “Do you want to rest a bit?”
——Sister Shang is too sentimental.
Ever since filming《Girl》, the first half was fine, but in the second half, she secretly posted Moments from her alt account every night… in “Shen Jiayi”‘s tone and perspective.
Secret crush brain supplement chapter:
【You always say physics formulas are too hard, but the hardest to solve is the gaze I give you that you never turn back to.】
【I write your name all over draft paper, then erase it over and over with correction tape, just like between us—clearly existed, but no one knew.】
【The milk tea you handed me, I only discovered at the last sip that the bottom of the cup had ‘good luck on the exam.’ Turns out even sweetness takes a long time to taste.】
True feelings chapter:
【Later I realized that the three words ‘good friend’ are the farthest distance between us.】
【If time could rewind, I would definitely tilt the umbrella a bit more toward you on that rainy day.】
【Earphones looping《Sunny Day》, but our story forever stops at ‘Rainy Day.’】
She thought Chi Ye didn’t know, but actually, Chi Ye had seen the draft paper she left behind while touching up makeup.
“《Sunny Day》 is so good… Teacher Xiao Chi, you’re so talented, can you sing it for me?”
Chi Ye: “……Sis, how about I take you with me, go relax a bit.”
“？!”
Sister Shang’s eyes lit up.
Chi Ye paused, then said: “It’s just that the trip might be a bit tiring… I’ll also check on the next film’s preparations, the environment there isn’t great… Anyway, if you’re not afraid of being tired, come with me.”
“！！”
Sister Shang paused, her literary brain returned to normal, shaking her head frantically: “NONONO, Teacher Xiao Chi, go suffer by yourself… go alone, I’m not going.”
Chi Ye: “……Alright, see you later.”
Sister Shang became low again, staring at him unblinkingly: “I’ll wait for you, can you come back soon?”
Chi Ye was silent for a moment: “I’ll be quick.”
“You haven’t finished your homework, I won’t do it for you.”
“……”
Chi Ye “fled in panic.”
Shang Youshu stared at his back for a long time before looking away; her face no longer had the earlier “resentment,” but her mood was still a bit low.
“Sis, what Professor Chi said earlier… wasn’t that tiring, if you want to go, he’d definitely take you, why not go?”
The assistant nearby was puzzled.
She knew Sister Shang; though lazy, Chi Ye was clearly teasing her earlier, it actually wasn’t that “tiring.”
But… Sister Shang… why not go?
“You wouldn’t understand.”
Sister Shang sighed, her tone light: “I can’t stand seeing him get close to other women right now; to maintain my persona, better not go.”
The assistant was stunned: “Other women?”
Who?
Is Jin Xia also going to the Golden Melody Awards?
Sister Shang didn’t speak, but Chi Ye soon knew who the “other woman” was.
……
Flight, waiting area.
“You want me to ride on Chi Ye’s popularity? Bind him for CP hype? Ha, what a joke, I didn’t ride when he was most popular, you want me to ride now?!”
Shi Jinwei listened to her agent’s suggestion on the phone, very “incredulous”: “When did I, Shi Jinwei, need to ride his popularity? Are you cursing me?!”
“……Then reject it if you’re not riding, where are you now?!”
The agent on the other end was displeased, saying loudly: “Answer me! Where are you standing! Is it the airport, same flight as Chi Ye! Did you schedule it with him!”
Sister Qianzi was furious: “I’m forced into this by you all!”
“You and your mouth, you couldn’t catch up to shit while it’s hot.”
The agent unceremoniously evaluated and hung up.
Sister Qianzi was even angrier: “Ha, what did she say? She said I eat shit… I really… I’m leaving now, going back! Not attending the Golden Melody Awards!”
“Hey… Sis, Sister Shi, don’t rush, she misunderstood you, could I misunderstand you?”
The little assistant pulled Shi Jinwei: “I know you didn’t mean that, it’s fine, we’re clear-conscienced.”
“……You get me.”
Sister Qianzi wasn’t really unwilling to go to the Golden Melody Awards… after all, as a singer, no one refuses a Golden Melody Awards invitation.
Mainly… thinking of Chi Ye being nominated for seven or eight of the most valuable Golden Melody Awards categories this time made her feel awkward.
Ding dong.
At that moment, her WeChat notification sound suddenly rang.
Sister Qianzi picked up her mobile phone and saw Chi Ye’s message:
【Qian, seeing this is like seeing you.】
【I’ve seen you waiting for me, but considering you don’t like riding popularity, I’ve boarded quietly by myself, see you at the Golden Melody Awards site.】
【Disparity rank above Ye.】
Sister Qianzi: “？？!”
“Chi Ye! You won’t… won’t… ah! Pissing me off!”
Sister Qianzi wanted to curse Chi Ye to a bad end, but inexplicably felt it wasn’t good; yet she couldn’t swallow this, feeling full of grievances with nowhere to vent.
She had specially waited five hours for Chi Ye here…
And he actually left first.
Left…
I didn’t want to ride your popularity, I just wanted to keep you company.
The more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt; in the end, her eyes even turned red.
“Sister Shi… you… are you okay?”
The little assistant was startled.
“What could be wrong with her? Whoever dares make something wrong with her, clamp him, clamp him dead.”
A familiar voice sounded; Shi Jinwei was stunned, turned back, and saw Chi Ye walking over cheerfully, waving his boarding pass: “What are you spacing out for, got it? If yes, let’s go.”
Shi Jinwei glared at him, standing still without moving.
Chi Ye subconsciously adjusted his mask, looked around left and right, then lowered his voice: “Hurry or this side might get blocked dead, security check time is almost up, you going or not?”
Sister Qianzi raised her head, her beautiful and striking features “looking down” on Chi Ye.
Chi Ye glanced faintly at her, didn’t wait, and turned to walk inside.
Shi Jinwei: “？！！”
She was furious to the point of explosion, trembling all over, annoyed and aggrieved: “What does he mean? He’s giving me attitude now… Does he… does he have a heart? Always like this to me!”
Can’t you say some soft words to me?!
As long as you’re “soft” to me a bit, I… I might get cocky… but I’d definitely have a “better view” of you!
Damn!
Sister Qianzi thought of this, her mentality exploded even more; she stomped on the spot and gave her little assistant a look.
Little assistant: “?”
“Oh… oh… you go, go quick! If you don’t go I won’t pay this month’s salary! Sister Shi, I’m bullying you!”
Shi Jinwei: “……”
She gave up on the little assistant, strode her long legs, and “chased” after.
“Sis, don’t rush… slow down.”
“Rush what, time’s almost up, if not going security check time will pass.”
Little assistant: “……”
Then what were you doing earlier?
……
On the airplane.
Chi Ye sat by the window, still holding several files to review.
Next to him, Sister Qianzi half-leaned outward, most of her butt also outside, side-facing away from Chi Ye, pose slightly odd and not very comfortable… From boarding till now, maintained for about twenty minutes.
Hmm…
Chi Ye still didn’t “actively apologize to her.”
Sister Qianzi was even angrier; she felt this time it wasn’t just thyroid, breast glandular cancer would be pissed out by Chi Ye.
“Qian.”
“Hm?!”
Finally, Chi Ye spoke; Sister Qianzi immediately took the chance to change pose, still in “back-facing angry” state, but butt secretly sat inward a bit, much more comfortable.
She “coldly” looked at Chi Ye: “Something?”
“Oh, nothing, just testing if you’re listening to music.”
Chi Ye casually pointed at her Bluetooth earphones hanging on her fair tender ears: “Looks like you really aren’t, responding first time even at such low volume.”
Shi Jinwei’s little face visibly flushed red: “Chi Ye, I feel like you’re always PUA-ing me, you… have you thought about how I feel?”
“Or seeing me like this gives you a sense of achievement?!”
“……”
Chi Ye thought seriously, then said frankly: “It’s okay, mainly my mouth is bad to begin with, and running into your type… I really don’t mean to, sometimes it’s just ‘repelling the same kind.'”
“……”
Shi Jinwei looked at him for a few seconds, withdrew her gaze, actually hummed, didn’t flare up.
Because… he actually said “I don’t mean to”…
He apologized!
Chi Ye apologized to her, Shi Jinwei!!
Hahaha, apologized, this is softening, this is “admitting fault”!
Mm, then I’ll reluctantly generously forgive your few improper behaviors.
Sister Qianzi instantly felt partly cloudy turning sunny, an indescribable happiness and satisfaction, even her feelings toward Chi Ye improved a lot.
Over here.
Chi Ye looked puzzled at Sister Qianzi whose corners of mouth he couldn’t control, very strange.
What’s up, sis?
Sister Shang dreams at night, you’re starting daytime already?
Live long enough to see this.
……
Meanwhile.
Yu Yan boarded the flight to Taiwan, asked: “Isn’t Chi Ye getting charter flight treatment? Why fly commercial himself.”
“He probably wants to keep a low profile.”
“Low profile?”
Yu Yan was taken aback, then smiled: “Then he really needs to keep low profile.”
His starring sci-fi blockbuster, the《Magic City Fortress》 claiming to be the domestic first sci-fi blockbuster, has been scheduled for this year’s summer slot.
Chi Ye really needs to keep low profile, because he’s going to “kill” back.
Unrivaled Top Streamer after months, time to step aside.
