Chapter 116 Award Ceremony 1

The Golden Voice Award, as the highest award for musicians in China, has been attracting worldwide attention since its pre-launch promotion in November.

Today's host is none other than He Lingling, a veteran figure in the industry.

Shi Shi was originally going to walk the red carpet alone today. However, the song "Over the Top" earned Shen Jingyuan three major awards, so they decided to walk the red carpet together.

Douxiaoyin platform has partnered with the organizers of Jin嗓子 (Jin嗓子 is a popular online singing competition). The entire event will be live-streamed by Douxiaoyin.

Shi Shi checked her makeup one last time, nodded to Shen Jingyuan, opened the car door, and the two got out of the car together.

Shen Jingyuan is a "regular" at Golden Voice Awards. After many years in the industry, he already has three Golden Voice Awards trophies at home.

He has won awards such as Best Pop Music Award, Most Popular Male Singer Award, and Vanguard Music Award.

The only thing missing is an annual Golden Melody Award, and his song "Over the Top" this year was aimed at that trophy. But looking at Shi Shi next to him, he felt his chances were slim. He was nominated because Shi Shi wrote "Over the Top," but he was also in danger because of Shi Shi's other songs. It's really tough!

The two walked down the red carpet. Shen Jingyuan was wearing a suit with a dark bamboo pattern, exuding a refined and scholarly air. However, he completely paled in comparison to Shishi.

Viewers watching the live stream were flooding the chat with comments.

Cherry Calf: Oh my god, I saw the big boss in the suit!

Suspect who's feeling sleepy: Shishi, a girl, can wear a suit so cool! I want to lick her!

Luo Tuo Xiangzi: What an amazing couple! Shi Shi and Shen Jingyuan standing together are such a feast for the eyes!

The champion of staying up all night: I bet five cents that Lao Shen will definitely win the Song of the Year award tonight!

Popcorn lover: Shen Jingyuan absolutely has to have a chance! "Over the Fire" is just sooooo good!

Pancake Dog: Has anyone noticed Shi Shi? She was nominated for eleven awards! My daughter is so amazing.

Strawberry Jam: Shi Shi's aura is so powerful, she walks with such confidence, she's totally a queen!

Chili-flavored Cookies: Shen Jingyuan is not bad either. He looks like a male protagonist straight out of a novel in that suit.

With each step the two took on the red carpet, a flood of comments poured in, with netizens enthusiastically discussing their performance and eagerly anticipating the winner of tonight's Golden Voice Award.

As soon as Shi Shi and Shen Jingyuan sat down, someone came to greet them.

The person who arrived was Peng Feier.

"Oh my, congratulations, Ms. Shi! Eleven nominations! That must have infuriated those old fogies in the songwriting world." When Peng Feier made her comeback and tried to sell her songs, everyone looked down on her, trying to fob her off with some third-rate tunes. But then Shi Shi wrote "Left Finger Pointing to the Moon." One song made her an overnight sensation. She was even the opening act for the Golden Voice Concert!

Knowing that Shi Shi had been nominated for many awards, she quickly came over to say hello. What was she thinking if her father, Qu, wasn't going to support someone of this caliber?

She was in a hurry to prepare for the performance, so she only said goodbye and left in a hurry.

However, Shishi didn't have much of a chance to chat with her uncle before someone else came to greet her.

This time, it was Min Lian and Min Ling who came. The twin sisters had identical makeup and hairstyles today, like real-life Barbie dolls. The only difference was that the older sister's hair clip was gold, while the younger sister's was silver.

Their album "Girl's Heart" made them Numberone, a favorite singer among teenagers. Although they were secretly groomed by their company several years ago, they have only officially debuted for a little over a year. They are determined to win both the Newcomer of the Year and Best Group awards.

Her face, brimming with collagen, exudes an ambition beyond her years. But Shishi isn't unpleasant. Having chosen this path, how could she not be ambitious?

Just after the twins left, a young man in a shiny suit walked towards Shi Shi.

Shen Jingyuan whispered in Shishi's ear, "This is Ming Yaowei, be careful."

Although I don't understand why we need to be careful, since my aunt's husband reminded me, there must be a story behind it.

To Shi Shi's surprise, Ming Yaowei wasn't sarcastic or mean at all; on the contrary, he was quite friendly. He came up to greet her and said a few words about hoping to have the opportunity to collaborate in the future. After exchanging contact information, he even told Shi Shi to let him know in advance if she was going to release a song. This left Shi Shi completely confused.

Seeing her silly look, Shen Jingyuan was speechless: "You two are practically mortal enemies."

Shishi was already confused, and now she was even more bewildered: "Did I offend him?"

"Ming Yaowei was an idol abroad before, and since returning to China in the last six months, he's been releasing songs non-stop. He's probably been buying a lot of trending topics. But you two are like sworn enemies. Every time he trends, you release a song. You always manage to completely overshadow him. You're truly a well-trained person."

"What's wrong?"

"You're too well-mannered. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to resist beating you to death."

Shi Shi: ...

"Is this really necessary?"

Shen Jingyuan gave her a deep look: "You don't associate with people from the Songwriting Association. Of course you don't know that you're incredibly famous now. Just think about it, it's only been half a year, how many songs have you released? Every single one of them is a classic, not a single bad song. That's the most remarkable thing."

Shi Shi thought to herself: That's because Hang Minmin's "I Miss You" hasn't been released yet, otherwise she would have a catchy pop song too.

"What, are those senior figures curious about me?"

"Of course you're curious. You young people should go out and explore more." The awards ceremony was about to begin, and countless cameras were pointed at them. Shen Jingyuan spoke tactfully, but Shishi understood—someone had a problem with her. Her aunt's husband was giving her a heads-up.

She chuckled twice: "I love making friends. I wonder if I'll be able to get my wish."

"Making friends is about getting along if you're compatible and parting ways if you're not. Just go with the flow."

Shi Shi understood immediately. It seemed like a minor matter, but her long absence from public view inevitably gave people a sense of aloofness and arrogance.

As everyone gradually arrived, the awards ceremony officially began.

The audience was completely silent, while the viewers in the live stream were eagerly waiting for their turn.

Teletubbies selling hard-boiled eggs: Peng Feier! You woman, come out here right now!

Deep-fried Pikachu: Waiting for Sister Peng to kill me with her high-pitched voice!

Keep up with her little bun hairstyle: Looking forward to Peng Feier's live performance!

At this moment, the intro began, and He Lingling said from the side of the stage, "Let's welcome our opening guest—Peng Feier. She will be performing 'Left Finger Pointing to the Moon'."

He spoke at the perfect time, just two seconds after he finished speaking.

A woman's voice came from inside...

"Left hand grasps the earth"

Right hand holding the sky

Lightning bolts cracked in the palm lines in all directions.

Time

hastily exchanged for the year

Three thousand lifetimes as if unseen

Holding a flower in her left hand and wielding a sword in her right.

"Ten thousand years of snow fell between my brows"

Some songs are best enjoyed live. Even Shen Jingyuan, sitting in the audience, said admiringly, "Your lyrics are really good. Write one for me next time, please."

Shi Shi: "Isn't going overboard a bad thing?"

Shen Jingyuan clicked his tongue: "Who would complain about having too many good songs?"
