Chapter 299 Nomination to Break the Glasses
In a debate, the shortlist of the 17th Golden Melody Awards was announced on the 5th. Tao Zhe and Hu Defu were shortlisted for the six most beautiful items, which can be said to be infinite scenery. The most shocking thing is that Jay Chou was not favored by the judges. Wu Kequn can be called the dark horse will compete with Zhang Xueyou, the "god of song". Last year, Stefanie Sun Yan and Taiwanese Wang Shixian, the king of the song, and Sun Shumei, the queen of the song, were once again shortlisted for Lianzhuang.
In addition to Tao Zhe, there are also shortlisted regular Lin Zhixuan, Zhang Xueyou, who is undoubtedly singing, Wu Kequn, who is regarded as a dark horse, and Hu Defu and Wang Lihong. This is also the only shortlisted award for Wang Lihong, which surprised the outside world.
In this award, Wang Zhengfei and Jay Chou were both not shortlisted at all. This is more surprising than not winning the award. If there is no award, it can actually be regarded as a surprise, but if it is not even shortlisted, it can no longer be explained. Yes.
The biggest surprise of this year is the little king Zhou Jielun. The record "Chopin in November" released by Zhou Jielun last year sold well, second only to Wang Zhengfei's "Fireworks Easy Cold", which made him full of confidence in being nominated. He said that he especially put down the movie "All Over the City with Golden Armor". He made a special trip to return to Taiwan from Yanjing, nominally 8 The recording of the new album launched in the month is actually waiting for the nomination list to be announced, ready to be congratulated by all parties. Wang Zhengfei also talked to Jay Chou on the phone in private to congratulate him on his upcoming shortlisting.
Although the two are competitors in the Golden Melody Awards, they are actually a pair of good friends in private. They basically have time to play together.
Unexpectedly, Jay Chou was not favored by the judges this year. Among the 31 awards, he was eliminated in the individual award category. Only Fang Wenshan, the lyricist of his song "Snow Like Snow", was nominated for "Best Lyricist", and Hong Jingyao, the arranger of another song "Blue Storm", was nominated for "Best Arranger". On the contrary, Jay Chou was appreciated by the judges for others. His "Dreaming Fish" composed for Jiang Hui was shortlisted for "Best Taiwanese Pop Music Singing Album" and "Best Song of the Year". As for his old girlfriend Jolin Tsai, I don't know if she was affected by the transfer record company and didn't get any of the nominations.
And Wang Zhengfei's shortlisting is also not whether it was expected or not. Originally, in the previous reporters' expectations, either none of them were shortlisted, or they were shortlisted on a large scale to sweep a major award, but they were shortlisted only for the Best Composer, Best Lyricist, and Best Album Producer Award. Awards, these three awards can't be important, but they can't be said to be unimportant, but none of the awards Wang Zhengfei values most have been shortlisted. The only one of these three awards is the Best Album Producer Award, which is the most important award for creative musicians. For example, Jay Chou, Wang Lihong and Lin Junjie, in fact, they value this award more than the best singer and other awards that are more concerned by the outside world. Compared with the song king and the song queen, this award is more eye-catching.
Wang Zhengfei also values this award very much. Compared with other awards, in fact, in his heart, he still agrees with the award of the best album producer. This is a test of the whole album. Only when the whole album is good can he be shortlisted.
And it tests the ability of a music producer, and Wang Zhengfei is now working in the direction of this producer.
Although the market reaction of "Perfect Day" of "temperament" in this year's best female singer list is not as good as expected, she has the opportunity to win the throne of cicadas. She and Cai Jianya's "Xingzhou Gang" will compete with the "Maji School" Liang Jingru and Dai Peini, and the competition is very fierce; Chen Qizhen is expected to be shortlisted for many times, Wang Pei Although Rong was unhappy with Rolling Stone, the judge gave her justice. Fan Weiqi, who was shortlisted for the first time, had good news after five years after being shortlisted for the Newcomer Award.
Tao Zhe's musical quality is affirmed in the shortlist of the Golden Melody Award. This time, his personal and album Taiping Shengshi have won a total of 6 finalists, tied with Master-level Hu Defu as the biggest winners, followed by Wu Bai and Chen Qizhen respectively. Tao Zhe, Hu Defu, Chen Qizhen and Dai Penny will fight in many awards such as album and production.
In general, this Golden Melody Award can be regarded as falling beyond almost everyone's imagination, and the most exciting result I thought before was not as exciting as this time.
Wang Zhengfei, who was previously considered the most popular and the most unpopular, was only shortlisted for three awards. Although it was much better than the shortlisting, it undoubtedly aroused the dissatisfaction of Wang Zhengfei's fans.
Wang Zhengfei is very calm about the things he failed to shortlisted for several items, because compared with the worst case, he has nothing to say about being shortlisted for the three items. Anyway, this award is biased towards the Taiwanese themselves. He knows this in his mind. Even if it is known as the top singing award in the Chinese music world, the region There are still surnames.
But what he can't accept is that Jay Chou's shortlisting this time made him unable to accept it at all. Jay Chou's last record was second only to his "Killing of the Three Kingdoms". Such achievements are unique everywhere, but he can't be shortlisted. This is not Chiguo's revenge. What about it.
This Golden Melody Award was held by Apple News, and Apple News had a big conflict with Jay Chou last year because of paparazzi. As we all know, Jay Chou hates paparazzi and wrote a song to satirize the paparazzi. At that time, it was a period of praise from all the artists in the circle, but I didn't expect retribution to come so soon, and this Apple's revenge was obviously with the idea of revenge.
In addition, Zhou Jielun did not gain last year, which made Wang Zhengfei wonder where the so-called fair surname of the Golden Melody Award is. Although it is not necessarily a big sale and you will be shortlisted, and the Golden Melody Award often plays this kind of game, there should also be a limit to play, which cannot be completely limited at all. If you don't have it, just mess it up. Wang Zhengfei can't accept it anyway.
The host of the press conference also "comforted" Jay Chou and said, "You have won the Hong Kong and Taiwan Film Newcomer Award. You have distributed the award to others. Don't be angry."
What kind of theory is this? Movies are movies, music is music, and it's just two things. In this way, they can be linked together. This is an extremely absurd theory. According to this theory, Wang Zhengfei can't get a few shortlists this time. Doesn't he deserve it? Who let him win nine awards at the Golden Statue Awards? It's really divorce. The score is inexplicable.
Due to doubts about this fair surname, Wang Zhengfei naturally lacked interest, which was not as enthusiastic when he participated in the Golden Bell Award, the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Statue Award at that time. At that time, he went because of the unknown surname of the award, but for this kind of justice surname at all. In terms of awards, he is not interested at all.
While the outside world is still making a fuss about the shortlist for the Golden Melody Award, Wang Zhengfei's attention has shifted to another place, that is, Ning Hao's preparation for several months of "Ye Wen" is finally ready to start shooting. Although the story of "Ye Wen" this time mainly takes place in Foshan, in fact It can't be put in Foshan when shooting, because the buildings in Foshan in the 1930s and 1940s have been demolished, which is not suitable for shooting. This is also a very regrettable place to be unable to shoot a movie in the place where the story takes place.
After thinking about it for a long time, after calling Wang Zhengfei, Ning Hao finally chose the shooting location in the old city where Wang Zhengfei shot Snow Leopard. The old city of this place has just been established, completely in the architectural style of the 1930s and 1940s. Part of it was completed here, and part of it It was filmed at Shanghai Songjiang Film and Television Base. In this way, everything will be foolproof.
However, the first start-up press conference was still held in Foshan, the ancestral temple Ye Wentang.
And Wang Zhengfei is the chief screenwriter and one of the planners of the play. He can't be without the show. Because he flew from the set in Shanghai, when he arrived at the press conference, the press conference had already started for a period of time. Seeing Wang Zhengfei enter the stage, countless reporters suddenly raised their cameras to Wang Zhengfei. Wipe the card and shoot.
"Well, now it's Wang Zhengfei, our screenwriter Wang Zhengfei. Now Wang Zhengfei is very hard from the set. Let's welcome Wang Zhengfei to his seat!" The host at the scene said.
Wang Zhengfei looked at the position specially vacating for himself, very close to the middle, next to the two most important characters, Ning Hao and Donnie Yen. Generally speaking, the position of this kind of press conference, the more in the middle, it means that your status is more important for this play. Ning Hao, as a director, there is no need to say. It is to sit in the middle, which is his right to be a director. Donnie Yen is the leading actor, and he is also an old front-line star. It is actually not strange to sit in the middle, but Wang Zhengfei is nominally just a screenwriter. Basically, he sits in the corner, unless a reporter asks, it will attract attention.
But now the position has been moved directly to the middle, and the others don't seem to have any opinions, which shows how Wang Zhengfei's status is in everyone's mind.
