After a simple thank you, Zhang Xiaohan left the stage.
She wasn't so emotional that she cried buckets, nor did she utter any grand declarations about thirty years of prosperity and thirty years of decline.
It was as if after experiencing the darkest moments of her life, she had come to terms with everything.
After the Most Popular Female Singer award, it was time for the Most Popular Male Singer award.
The guest presenting this award was also a heavyweight.
He was a popular veteran singer from the 70s and 80s, an evergreen in the music industry.
Su Yu actually knew this person, and even felt that Fei Qing was very interesting.
He felt that this person was the Blue Star version of the King of Filth.
Su Yu didn't expect that it would be him presenting the Most Popular Male Singer award this time.
"The nominees for Most Popular Male Singer are Su Yu, Xie Jie, Wang Shan..."
As his voice came, images of the nominees appeared on the big screen.
Among the domestic nominees, only Su Yu came; Xie Jie and Wang Shan did not.
However, among the nominees, Su Yu saw a familiar face, Hu Zhixuan.
At this moment, Hu Zhixuan's face was calm, and when Su Yu's gaze fell on him, he even politely waved and nodded in acknowledgment.
As for the other nominees, Su Yu didn't recognize them, as they were all just there to fill out the roster.
"The winner of the Golden Melody Awards for Most Popular Male Singer is Su Yu!"
Fei Qing announced Su Yu's name without any hesitation, decisively and straightforwardly.
This time, he didn't show off his comedic skills or crack any jokes during the announcement.
Because Fei Qing, having reached his current position, was naturally a seasoned veteran.
He knew that some people's jokes should never be made.
Even if Su Yu was a rising star.
The moment Su Yu's name was announced, the guests present were taken aback and erupted in an uproar.
Because they knew what it truly meant for Su Yu to receive this award!
This not only signified Su Yu becoming The King of Singers and even a Heavenly King in the music industry.
It also meant that Su Yu had successfully nurtured a Queen of Singers and a King of Singers, smoothly transitioning from a Gold-tier Composer to an Ace Composer!
Although they knew this day would come sooner or later and couldn't be avoided.
But this day came too quickly, and too suddenly!
At this moment, the live stream's bullet comments were already boiling over.
"5/11! Congratulations to Su Shen for the Golden Melody Awards penta kill! Becoming the Heavenly King of the music industry!"
"Heavenly King? No! Su Shen has become an Ace Composer!"
"Holy cow! Han Jiangxue's Queen of Singers, and now he himself has won The King of Singers, he's really ascended to Ace Composer!"
"8 months! From a beginner composer to an Ace Composer, it's simply a miraculous dream!!"
"......"
This time, Su Yu's BGM finally changed; it was no longer the previous "qilixiang" but directly became the climax part of "night of confession" that Su Yu had just performed.
It has to be said that the Golden Melody Awards' ability to seize every opportunity is truly impressive.
"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Fei Qing handed the trophy to Su Yu, offering his sincere congratulations.
He knew what it meant for Su Yu to receive this award.
So, when facing Su Yu, his smile became much more genuine.
He truly admired rising stars like Su Yu, as their younger generation here wasn't very accomplished.
Of course, it would be even better if he could establish a good relationship with Su Yu.
What if Su Yu took a liking to him, an old senior, and wrote one or two songs for him?
He knew very well that Su Yu was good at writing retro-style songs.
The songs he specialized in were even older than the songs Su Yu wrote for Andy Lau and Ye Tianhou.
"Thank you!" Su Yu took the trophy and replied politely.
Actually, he did have many songs suitable for Fei Qing, but now wasn't the time to talk about it.
He would discuss it if there was an opportunity in the future.
"Thank you for the Golden Melody Awards' kindness, and thank you to my fans and listeners who love my songs. In the future, I will sing more songs to give back and thank you! Definitely! Thank you."
Su Yu held the Golden Melody Awards trophy, expressing his sincere gratitude.
This speech was actually for his fans and listeners. Su Yu knew how much his fans and listeners trusted him now.
As long as it was his work, they would almost blindly purchase it without even listening to a preview.
This made Su Yu feel trusted, but also a certain amount of pressure.
He truly didn't want to betray this trust, so no matter what, every future work, even those he personally created, would not disappoint these fans and listeners.
Lowering song prices was the first step in Su Yu's reciprocation to his fans and listeners, but it would definitely not be the last.
Of course, he wouldn't say this to take credit, because there was no need.
Amidst the applause, whether genuine or feigned, from the guests present, Su Yu stepped off the stage.
Su Yu didn't care what these people were thinking.
Because at this moment, System Miss's voice had already sounded in his mind!
【Congratulations, Host, for becoming an Ace Composer and completing Life Mission Seven!
Mission rewards are being distributed...
Congratulations, Host, you have received ten years of absolute lifespan, Diamond Chests × 3.】
Su Yu was thrilled when he returned to his seat; he hadn't expected the mission to be completed so smoothly!
He had thought he would need twelve consecutive championships to become an Ace Composer.
After all, the three major music awards could all have chosen not to give him the Most Popular Male Singer, or The King of Singers, trophy in the first year.
Giving Su Yu the Best New Artist award would have been the most appropriate award.
But the Huayin Award held firm, while the Golden Melody Awards did not!
This led to Su Yu completing Life Mission Seven several months ahead of schedule.
Before Su Yu could even open the three Diamond Chests, System Miss's voice came again.
【Life Mission Eight: Obtain one billion overseas entertainment reputation points!
Mission Reward: ten years of lifespan; Diamond Chests × 3.
Mission Failure: No reward.】
Indeed, System Miss's new mission was released.
Su Yu didn't ask much but instead looked at the now refreshed main system interface.
Below the section that had once again reached over 1 billion entertainment reputation points, there was now an additional value for overseas entertainment reputation points.
The newly added overseas entertainment reputation points were not zero; instead, there were over eighty million.
This should be the reputation points provided by fans and listeners from countries surrounding China.
It's just that before, they were all included in the total reputation points and were not directly displayed as a separate category.
But thinking about it, it made sense; whether it was South Korea or Japan, or even other countries, there were Chinese people present.
Even if the local people didn't listen to Su Yu's songs, these Chinese people would.
Especially after the Spring Festival Gala, Su Yu's popularity among all Chinese people across Blue Star would be extremely high.
However, relying solely on these overseas Chinese to reach one billion overseas entertainment reputation points was clearly a drop in the bucket.
Although System Miss hadn't specified a time limit for this mission, Su Yu always had to complete it as soon as possible.
After all, there was a ten-year absolute lifespan reward attached to it!
Therefore, the direction of his songs might have to shift from domestic to overseas in the future.
