215 Awards Tour 1(1/2)
May 5, Hong Kong Island
The singers participating in the 20th [Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs] have already checked into the hotels arranged by the organizer.
After knowing that the awards ceremony would be a "fair" selection, Ye Fan flew to Hong Kong Island with Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan, while people from Warner Bros. came over separately.
Hong Kong reporters didn’t know his flight, but the awards ceremony was just a few days away, and Ye Fan didn’t escape even in disguise.
It’s the awards season again, and the matter of Ye Fan’s tough performance at the [Metropolitan Awards Ceremony] last year has been revealed again. The greater Ye Fan’s fame, the more people pay attention to this matter.
Ye Fan stated last year that he would not attend the [Metro News Awards] again in the future. This year's [Metro News Awards] revealed that the list of award nominees did not include Ye Fan. Such a big gossip, how could the Hong Kong and Taiwan media let Ye go?
Traditional,
"Ye Fan, the organizer of [Metropolis Awards Ceremony] said that they will not invite you this year, saying that you are putting pressure on them by not participating because of your fame, and the purpose is still to win the award. What do you think about this?
Did you say that?"
Ye Fan became happy when he heard this and said disdainfully: "What's the point of participating in a music award that requires you to pay for the pork?"
"I rely on my work and ability to speak for myself. This kind of unfairness, fairness and openness means that I don't even bother to get the award that is good to you, me, and everyone."
"They won't invite me this year. It's as if I will attend if they invite me in the future. Do you think it's meaningful to win such an award?"
Ye Fan spoke so nakedly that he tore off the reputation of Metropolis's most popular awards ceremony and directly blocked the Hong Kong and Taiwan media who wanted to find trouble.
Regardless of the results of the awards, all awards must be "fair and just". This is [ZZ correct], and reporters cannot argue with it.
If you don't even follow [ZZ is correct], then this award will become a joke, and everything else will be out of the question.
As Ye Fan's fame grows, [Metropolitan Awards Ceremony] has become a joke in the eyes of colleagues in Hong Kong.
The reporter did not succeed in making things difficult for Ye Fan, but could only ask other questions. Ye Fan did not say much, and led Xiao Zhou and Xiao Fang out of the airport under the escort of bodyguards, heading to the hotel...
As soon as Ye Fan came to the room to stay, he heard a "ding" sound, and the doorbell rang.
"Xiaofan, it's me."
Hearing Ren Xianqi's voice, Ye Fan smiled and motioned to the bodyguard to open the door.
Ren Xianqi said as soon as he entered the door: "You are finally here. How many days do you plan to stay here?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "I will go back after participating. I still have a movie to shoot there, so I squeezed out the time to come here."
"That's it. I also said that you and I would go to Wanwan to play for a few days."
"Do you still have time? Didn't you say two days ago that you were filming "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"? The crew wouldn't give you so many days off, right?"
"Hey, if you come here, I will definitely have to make time. I'm talking about the injuries I sustained during the filming. I'll take this opportunity to recuperate. You see, these are all injuries caused during the filming."
Looking at Ren Xianqi's green and purple arms, Ye Fan couldn't help but nod. It is indeed easy to get injured during filming in this era, and sometimes the injuries are not serious.
However, his injury is really nothing in this era, but compared with some young freshmen in later generations who would cry out in pain if their fingers were cut, Ren Xianqi was already very dedicated.
"It is indeed not easy, but compared with those in martial arts, your injuries are not serious. I envy you for being able to play Yang Guo. If I can play Yang Guo, it doesn't matter if I suffer such injuries."
"Haha, no, I didn't think I could play Yang Guo with my looks. You must be suitable."
Ye Fan smiled and said nothing. He didn't know if Xiao Qi would be in the same mood now after this version of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is aired and Xiao Qi is criticized for being autistic.
Ren Xianqi asked again: "By the way, how are you preparing for your new album? When will it be released?"
"The song will probably not be finished until mid- to late-term. After recording and promotion, I estimate it will be released in July."
"Xu~ That's good. I'm going to release an album at the end of August, and I don't want to run into you."
"Haha, am I so scary..."
"Lingling~"
Just when Ye Fan was about to say something else, his cell phone rang.
"Hello? It's Sister Fei...I'm fine...Okay...Brother Xiao Qi is also here...Okay, let's come over now..."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan said to Xiao Qi: "Sister Fei asked me to have dinner. Call Jielun and we can go there together."
"Okay, it's okay anyway, we just want to get together."
After saying that, the two of them walked out the door...
The next day reporters reported Ye Fan's remarks about "sharing the pork" and "being fair and just."
After Metro Radio found out, in addition to feeling angry and ashamed, they were also very helpless and regretful.
They really wanted to say that they would not invite Ye Fan from now on, but with Ye Fan's current reputation, if Xincheng Radio really did this, not only would it be humiliating itself, it would also be equivalent to taking the initiative to downgrade its own award level.
Are the singers and fans really stupid for the gold and level of the award ceremony without Ye Fan attending?
Apart from anything else, the big-name singers in this year's [Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs] are still the same people, but this year's [Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs] has attracted much more attention than last year. Isn't it because of Ye Fan?
TVB, which contracted the broadcasting rights for this year's awards ceremony, was very happy. Some TV stations in Bay, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other places also urgently contacted TVB to prepare to win the broadcasting rights in their respective regions.
It is difficult to receive the broadcast signal from TV stations in the mainland, but operations can still be seen in the coastal areas of Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangxi. Some powerful media in the mainland have also arranged for reporters to participate.
Portal websites have begun to emerge. Once there is news about the award ceremony, it can be forwarded online or sent via email, with a delay of no more than a few minutes, and it can be sent back to the mainland.
There is even a follow-up exclusive interview and pictures of Ye Fan, which is definitely a cutting-edge news for the mainland.
…
The 20th awards ceremony was held at the Hong Kong Island Convention and Exhibition Center. The award ceremony started at 7 o'clock, but the red carpet started at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
There were probably thousands of fans gathered outside the Convention and Exhibition Center. This was deliberately controlled, otherwise there would definitely have been more. After all, most of the singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan were here, not to mention Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was scheduled to appear in the second half of the show. He departed from the hotel at 5 o'clock and waited near the venue. He walked the red carpet around 5:30 to 6 o'clock.
While he was preparing, TVB had already started live broadcasting, and several places such as Wanwan had almost received the broadcast signal.
Just after 5:30, it was finally Ye Fan's turn to appear.
Warner UFO is quite pitiful now. The only big-name singers are Aaron Kwok and Sammi Cheng. In order to take care of the poor Wanwan branch, Warner China arranged for Sammi Cheng and Ye Fan to walk on the red carpet together.
Ye Fan didn't mind either. Zheng Xiuwen was pretty good-looking at this time, and Ye Fan could only wish for someone who could share the reporter's firepower and diffuse the scandal between him and Zeng Li.
Sammi Cheng gently held Ye Fan's arm as she walked on the red carpet. Both of them are favorites to win awards. Sammi Cheng is also one of the most popular female singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The two of them appeared together and immediately set off wild cheers from the audience around the red carpet.
"Fanzai, you are so handsome~"
"Ye Fan has loved you for ten thousand years!"
"Ah ah ah, Ami, I love you"
"Together with"
…
Ye Fan and Zheng Xiuwen waved to the fans around them from time to time, causing waves of noise again.
Ye Fan was shortlisted for 9 awards this year. Sammi Cheng released three albums last year and was shortlisted for many awards, with a total of 7 shortlisted.
The important awards that Sammi Cheng has been shortlisted for include: [Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs], [Top Ten Best Selling Singer of the Year Award], [Top Ten Outstanding Pop Singer Award], etc.
And Ye Fan also knows that her song ranks first among the top ten Chinese hits in history, and she is also the female singer with the most awards at this award ceremony.
I don’t know if she was lucky or not, Warner UFO was in chaos, and she was the only female singer left to support such a big mess like Warner UFO. It was really hard work.
However, in the past two years, Warner UFO has spent all its resources on her and Aaron Kwok, which is probably the reason why they have been the king and queen of the music industry in recent years.
It happened that the two of them appeared together, and the host just introduced the two to be nominated for the award, and read more than a dozen words in one breath. She almost choked to death.
Interview area outside the red carpet
The host pulled Ye Fan and Zheng Xiuwen and asked if they were confident about the award.
Sammi Cheng was involved in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene, so she naturally responded modestly, saying that there are so many capable female singers, it would be great if she could be nominated, and it would be an unexpected surprise to win.
Ye Fan naturally has no such worries. There is nothing wrong with staying humble, but sometimes being too humble can seem particularly hypocritical.
Of course, you can't be too crazy, appear aggressive, and be unpopular with passers-by.
The best way is to joke with a little confidence and show domineering but not overtly. This not only shows your attitude, but also leaves room for yourself.
As for him criticizing Metro Radio as soon as he got off the plane, well... being a young man, that's understandable.
"I personally hope to win the award, but it still depends on the judges. I have prepared my acceptance speech. I hope it will not be in vain, otherwise I will not dare to come next time. It will be too embarrassing."
His words were soft yet hard, and he could advance and retreat freely, putting pressure on the organizer in a joking way. Ye Fan didn't believe that the organizer couldn't understand what he meant.
However, this method is suitable for those who have the ability to win awards, but if someone who is not qualified to win awards says this, it is self-defeating.
After the interview, Ye Fan and the two went directly to the venue. At this time, Sitong Lifang Forum and Penguin also received news about the award ceremony.
Now not only Brother Xiaoma, but also the Sitong Lifang Forum has begun to learn to follow Ye Fan's popularity. Shenzhen City is so close to Hong Kong Island, and they are the fastest to receive information.
And many people in Guangzhou have received the signal from Hong Kong Island through the Jarhead antenna, and they are showing off to netizens while watching the live broadcast.
"Ye Fan showed up, wearing a white suit and shirt, with broken hair. This look is so trendy!"
…
"Ami is so beautiful. She and Ye Fan match well."
"What the fuck, why can she hold Ye Fan's hand? Ye Fan is mine!"
