Su Yu was a complete newcomer to the Huayin Award, but walking on the red carpet, he was the center of attention, incredibly dazzling.
And Su Yu's impossibly young and handsome face had, unknowingly, become a nightmare for many songwriters.
Because several months had passed, and it was precisely this young man who had kept them from ever raising their heads.
The New Song Chart, which they could easily enter before, now made even getting into the top ten a luxury.
Previously, works they wrote without much effort could achieve good sales if promoted well.
Now, even the works they painstakingly wrote couldn't sell for a remarkable price.
Su Yu's erratic, high-volume song releases had, imperceptibly, raised the overall quality of songs in the entire Chinese music scene.
Their good days of making money while lying down were gone forever.
However, this wasn't without positive developments: songwriters were increasingly valued by major entertainment companies.
Especially some new songwriters who had just entered the industry; their treatment was simply incomparable.
Because every entertainment company wanted to discover their own “Su Yu”!
On the red carpet, Su Yu and Han Jiangxue walked quickly.
After all, the constant flashes of light really made Su Yu a bit unaccustomed.
Being stared at by pairs of fervent eyes even made him feel like a panda in a zoo.
On the other hand, Han Jiangxue, while holding Su Yu's arm, kept a sweet and happy smile on her face.
This scene was naturally perfectly captured by countless cameras.
The screaming bullet comments from netizens, fans, and CP fans who saw this during the live broadcast were also ceaseless.
These past few days, for the Yu Xue CP fans, it was simply as joyful as a festival.
Because their most anticipated wish—for Su Yu to act in a historical drama—had come true! They would soon see Su Yu playing Yang Kang.
Moreover, Su Yu and Han Jiangxue, a real-life couple, would actually play a screen couple in a TV series?
This made them even more uncontrollably excited.
Many fans who had never watched “the legend of the condor heroes” even went to binge-watch the book and bought a copy of “the return of the condor heroes” at the bookstore.
Such a draw was something Su Yu hadn't expected, but it indeed led to a very significant increase in physical book sales for “the return of the condor heroes.”
This laid the foundation for Su Yu's plan to also release a physical book for his next novel.
The red carpet quickly came to an end. After Su Yu and Han Jiangxue signed their names on the signature wall, the host was already eager to start asking questions.
“Teacher Su Yu, is this your first time at the Huayin Award? Is there any particular award you really want to win?”
This question was very important!
Everyone in the live broadcast room also looked at Su Yu, waiting for his answer.
Some even wondered if Su Yu would be like Xiao Jingyu and say he wanted them all?
That would be too interesting!
“Behind-the-scenes awards, I guess. After all, I'm primarily a songwriter, and songwriting is my main profession, with being a singer as a side job.”
Su Yu's answer surprised many people.
Behind-the-scenes awards? Songwriter as main profession? Singer just a side job?
Does he have to be so humblebragging?!
His side job dominated the “The King of Singers” competition, which was a veritable battlefield, and he ultimately emerged victorious.
The first album released by his side job directly broke the digital album record and became the new record holder!
And this? Is it still a side job?!
“Ahem, ahem, then among composing, lyric writing, and arranging, which award does Teacher Su Yu most want to win?”
The host cleared his throat twice, forcing himself to regain composure, and continued to ask about the awards.
“If possible, naturally I want them all! Isn't that every songwriter's ultimate dream?” Su Yu answered with firm eyes.
And his “ultimate dream” was also equivalent to strongly endorsing the Huayin Award.
After all, both Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards and Hong Kong's Golden Song Awards were older than the Huayin Award.
In terms of authority, the Golden Melody Awards were even higher, but in the mainland music scene, the Huayin Award had the highest value.
This was beyond doubt.
Su Yu also believed that the Huayin Award would get better and better, surpassing the other two major awards in influence and authority.
After all, both the Golden Melody Awards and the Golden Song Awards had already begun to decline. With the rapid economic development in the mainland, the cultural and entertainment industry was also catching up quickly, and the mainland was the future center and main battlefield.
“Teacher Han, this is your second time at the Huayin Award. Is there any award you want to win this time?”
The host didn't dare to neglect Han Jiangxue and turned to ask her.
The first time, Han Jiangxue was just a newcomer and received nothing.
But this time at the Huayin Award, Han Jiangxue clearly had the strength and qualifications to contend for awards.
“Best Song, I have confidence in 'thousand thousand songs'!” Han Jiangxue replied with a smile.
Her answer was similar to Chen Yixun's recent answer.
Chen Yixun was full of confidence in “ten years,” while Han Jiangxue was overflowing with confidence in “thousand thousand songs.”
On the other hand, Han Jiangxue didn't have much confidence in the Most Popular Female Singer award.
After all, whether it was Han Zhuoma, Kong Jing, Zhang Xiaohan, or Na La, they were all very strong contenders for this award.
But she wasn't nervous either.
“I heard that Teacher Su Yu and Teacher Han participated in the filming of the wuxia drama 'the legend of the condor heroes,' and they play a couple in the drama. Do both teachers have plans to develop into the film and television industry in the future?”
The host changed the subject and asked about the hottest topic recently.
Before, Su Yu and Han Jiangxue's online promotion of the new drama and giving away prizes even trended on hot searches, so netizens were naturally very interested in this matter.
And although this was the Huayin Award ceremony, no one stipulated that questions about the film and television industry couldn't be asked, right?
They would also capitalize on the popularity.
“If there are suitable roles, we will still try them! However, music is our fundamental base,” Su Yu answered on behalf of both of them.
This answer greatly disappointed many musicians.
You should go develop in the film and television industry! The music scene doesn't welcome you, you troublemaker!
“Then the fans of both teachers are truly blessed! If I may be so bold as to ask, do both teachers have any plans to get married soon?”
When the host asked this question, his eyes narrowed.
This question wasn't asked by the director backstage, but rather, as a Yu Xue CP fan himself, he took the liberty of adding it in!
And as soon as this question was asked, the bullet comments directly went wild.
“Holy cow! Confirmed! The host is one of us, a Yu Xue CP fan!”
“Hahahaha, CP fans rushing marriage on the spot? Who else!”
“I'm impressed, our ally has infiltrated the inside! That's awesome.”
“If you dare to get married, I'll buy ten albums as a wedding gift!”
Su Yu had obviously predicted the explosion of bullet comments, as this question was simply too eye-catching.
Su Yu did not answer the question directly, but instead turned to look at Han Jiangxue. As they looked at each other, he seemed to be asking for Han Jiangxue's opinion...
