The flamboyant and revealing outfits were understandable; it was all for attracting attention.
After all, those who had faded into obscurity usually didn't get much exposure.
But Su Yu actually saw many artists who had been blacklisted in the Mainland on the red carpet.
This made Su Yu very displeased.
Even though these low-quality artists couldn't make it in the Mainland, they could still do very well in Taiwan, which was truly speechless.
This caused Su Yu's impression of the Golden Melody Awards to plummet to rock bottom.
He heard that the Golden Horse Awards were pretty much the same, so he decided he wouldn't attend these two awards ceremonies in the future.
Su Yu wasn't making empty claims; "lost in thailand" was nominated for four major awards at this year's Golden Horse Awards: Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Original Score.
The invitation had already been sent to Tianxing Entertainment's Film and Television Department a few days ago.
However, the awards ceremony wouldn't start until April, so Su Yu hadn't yet replied whether they would attend.
From the looks of it this time, Su Yu felt it was better to skip it.
After leaving the red carpet, the three entered the main venue.
This time, only six people from Tianxing Entertainment came: Su Yu and Li Dayue were seated in the first row, behind them were Han Jiangxue and Zhang Xiaohan, while Bi Huo and Xue Qing were in the third row.
It must be said that the Golden Melody Awards placed a very high importance on Su Yu and his team.
Otherwise, newcomers like Bi Huo and Xue Qing would have been in the back rows.
Soon, the Golden Melody Awards ceremony began.
The Golden Melody Awards had many more categories than the Huayin Award.
The main additions were in categories like Mandarin, cantonese, Taiwanese, Hakka, and Indigenous languages.
For example, Su Yu was not only nominated for Song of the Year and Album of the Year, but also for cantonese Song of the Year and Best Mandarin Album.
Otherwise, how would he have gotten eleven nominations?
And when there are more awards, doesn't that mean there's a bigger slice of the pie?
At this moment, Su Yu, sitting in the first row, actually didn't quite remember all the awards he was nominated for.
However, Su Yu's eleven nominations this time directly broke the Golden Melody Awards' highest nomination record in history.
This was also because Su Yu was truly too versatile, excelling in both individual singer categories and behind-the-scenes categories.
It was impossible for the Golden Melody Awards not to nominate him!
At this point, the awards ceremony began, and the opening singer was none other than Hu Zhixuan!
And the song Hu Zhixuan performed was the one that had been popular for a while before, "never left."
As Hu Zhixuan demonstrated what it meant to sing without a breath on stage, the camera would occasionally cut to Su Yu in the first row.
Clearly, the Golden Melody Awards also knew how to attract the attention of netizens.
As long as they kept giving Su Yu screen time, their popularity wouldn't drop significantly.
And yesterday, when Hu Zhixuan came to pick him up at the airport, he did subtly hint at wanting to request another song from Su Yu.
However, Hu Zhixuan was very reserved and extremely cautious.
He had lost the naturalness he had when he first met Su Yu.
The truth was, in just over half a year, their positions in the music industry had undergone a dramatic change.
At that time, Hu Zhixuan was much more popular than the fledgling Su Yu.
After all, he was a first-tier singer, wasn't he?
And Su Yu? At that time, he was only an intermediate composer.
Now, Su Yu was an Ace Composer in all but name, a figure standing at the pinnacle of the Chinese pop music scene.
As for him? His popularity had already begun to decline...
However, in Hu Zhixuan's eyes, Su Yu seemed to be the same Su Yu as before; he hadn't changed at all.
After hearing his subtle request for a song, he actually agreed immediately and cheerfully!
And this morning, Hu Zhixuan received a song demo called "Single Love Song."
The moment he finished listening to the demo, Hu Zhixuan's heart was truly filled with gratitude.
He knew that it wouldn't be long before he would have another representative song.
Subsequently, he had the idea of joining Tianxing Entertainment.
Although he had a small music company here, it only had a handful of signed singers.
If it weren't for him performing Su Yu's song on "The King of Singers" stage last year and gaining popularity, this company would have already gone under.
Since it wasn't developing anyway, he might as well directly join Su Yu!
After all, his dream was to sing, and Su Yu was never short of good songs.
After the live performance of "never left," which had shocked countless people, Hu Zhixuan bowed in thanks and exited the stage.
He truly enjoyed the attention of the crowd, and even more, he enjoyed a stage where he could sing to his heart's content.
This further solidified his determination to join Tianxing Entertainment.
He decided that after the Golden Melody Awards, he would go find Su Yu to discuss this matter.
As he thought about it, his steps became lighter.
After Hu Zhixuan's wonderful opening performance, the first award of the Golden Melody Awards began.
However, this first award was the Song of the Year award, for which Su Yu was nominated!
The order of this award presentation was very interesting; it was a very significant award, but it was presented so early.
The nominees for this award also included Han Jiangxue, Zhang Xiaohan, Xie Jie, Liu Ruyan, Na La, Wang Shan, and nine others.
Su Yu's nominated song this time was "qilixiang," Han Jiangxue's was ", foam," Zhang Xiaohan's was "a'diao," Xie Jie's was "This Is Love," Liu Ruyan's was "Love"...
Because Chen Yixun and Ye Mei were no longer participating in the judging, their names were not on the list of nominees.
"The winner of the Best Song of the Year is! Su Yu, "qilixiang"!"
As the two presenters excitedly announced, warm applause erupted in the venue.
The bullet comments on the live stream instantly exploded with a tidal wave of comments like "Congratulations!" "Who else but him!" "Su Shen is mighty!"
Some netizens even posted "1/11" as a record-keeping comment, clearly not believing that Su Yu would only win his first award today.
"The rain falls all night, my love overflows like rainwater. The leaves in the courtyard, like my thick pile of thoughts..."
Accompanied by the chorus of this all too familiar song, Su Yu rose and strode onto the stage.
After receiving the trophy and a symbolic embrace from the two presenters, Su Yu adjusted the microphone and looked at everyone.
"Thank you for the recognition from the Golden Melody Awards. In the future, I will write more excellent songs to give back to my fans and listeners."
Su Yu finished his concise acceptance speech and exited the stage amidst countless people gritting their teeth.
There was nothing heartfelt about it; this was just the beginning.
Having learned from the Huayin Award experience, Su Yu knew not to say everything in one acceptance speech.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to say later.
Was he supposed to repeat his acceptance speech? That would be too perfunctory.
And whether they were musicians in the audience or watching the live broadcast, what they hoped for most was for Su Yu to retire directly!
Write more and better songs? You can indeed give back to your fans and listeners, but what about us?!
