406: Chapter 406 The Crowning of the Heavenly King
"The Chinese Wave is the coolest."
Lin Chuyan had already forgotten what he said before.
The people in the audience and the netizens watching the livestream only registered those last seven words.
Ah, is that something you can say?
Isn't that a bit too arrogant?
Also, won't he get mocked for saying something like that?
But thinking about it, the person who said it is Lin Chuyan, and suddenly it made sense...
What wouldn't this guy say?
Looking at Lin Chuyan on stage, the Singers in the audience naturally had to applaud, though who knows what they were thinking.
Some, like Wawa, were naturally clapping until their hands were sore: others might not know, but Lin Chuyan truly had the right to say that; he really is that cool, you have to admit it.
Others were already waiting for Lin Chuyan to get roasted.
Who cares what you're trying to express? Such a high-profile statement is bound to be disliked by some.
The comment section was indeed in an uproar.
[This Sounds of Nature is really a bootlicker; they might as well rename it to Sounds of Lin the Dog!]
[Lin the Dog is getting more and more shameless. Who does he represent? "The Chinese Wave is the coolest"?]
[They're anxious, someone's anxious.]
[My son's defense was broken.]
[Hit a stone and the dog barks.]
[This is called cultural confidence, do you understand!]
Lin Chuyan's thought process was even simpler.
This is called paying tribute; you guys don't understand.
Furthermore, in the year or two since coming to this world, he had slowly figured out a way of doing things.
That is to work diligently and do things well. On that foundation, one doesn't need to worry so much about what they say.
The next award continued.
It was another award that exceeded his expectations.
Lin Chuyan even suspected that this was a dig at the recently concluded Golden Feather Awards.
Best Film and Television Song β "dream chaser".
Reason for the award: "As the theme song for the movie 'a moment of romance', 'dream chaser', with its deep and powerful melody, not only carries the characters' struggle against fate and their yearning for the future, but also evokes deep emotional resonance in the hearts of countless listeners through its moving lyrics and melodious tune. It is not just the soul footnote of the film's plot, but transcends the screen, using the power of music to elevate the film's emotions to a new height, truly deserving to be a model of the perfect combination of film and music."
The organizer of "Sounds of Nature" indeed wanted to take a dig at the Golden Feather Awards.
The latter had just ended, and the trending topic about 'a moment of romance' receiving zero awards hadn't been long ago. Since you, the Golden Feather Awards, don't know how to conduct yourself, who says music awards can't be given to films? The Grammys do it that way, okay.
Won't this push the trending topic back up?
That's what makes it interesting.
Ruan Xingyu went up to accept the award, after all, she was the Singer.
"Thank you, thank you Sound of Nature Festival, thank you Director Du Qiyu for inviting me to sing this song."
Ruan Xingyu hadn't prepared for winning this award, so she just said a few words.
" 'a moment of romance' is a good movie, and it's very good to watch. My boyfriend and I went to the cinema to watch it several times, and I still remember the plot."
"I think Miss Zhou Shiyun and Uncle Da both acted very well, and Director Mu Sheng filmed it well too. I hope they can have some success with awards later."
"Thank you all for liking 'a moment of romance' and liking 'dream chaser'. Thanks again to the organizer, thank you."
After stepping off the stage, Lin Chuyan secretly leaned his head towards her: "Why didn't you praise your boyfriend?"
Ruan Xingyu whispered: "I did it on purpose. I only mentioned people who were nominated at the Golden Feather Awards but didn't win, to subtly jab at the Golden Feather Awards."
"Ruan Xingyu, you are so bad, I love it."
"It's all learned from you."
The awards ceremony continued.
Next was Song of the Year.
Lin Chuyan's fans were still hoping to win it, especially hoping it would be awarded to "in the name of the father".
But things didn't go as planned, and it was ultimately awarded to "as you wish".
In other words, "in the name of the father" only received Best Arrangement, which was a bit like a consolation prize.
But fortunately, it was "as you wish" that won, so there was no controversy.
Reason for the award: " 'as you wish', with its profound theme, delicate emotional expression, and grand musical structure, has become one of the most influential songs in the Chinese Music Industry this year. With 'inheritance and hope' as its core, through warm melodies and poetic lyrics, this song depicts the emotional bond and spiritual inheritance between generations, expressing both respect for the struggles of the older generation and expectations for a better life in the future. Whether in terms of artistry, ideology, or social influence, 'as you wish' is worthy of the honor of 'Song of the Year'."
The so-called social influence naturally refers to the Spring Festival Gala.
Album of the Year β "Ruan Xingyu".
Reason for the award: "Lin Chuyan's musical talent is fully displayed in this album. He not only outlines the contours of love with moving melodies but also endows each song with profound emotional connotations through poetic lyrics. His voice, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes passionate as a tide, perfectly interprets the sweetness, bitterness, persistence, and hope in love. The production level of the album is top-notch; from the exquisite arrangement to the delicate mixing, every detail highlights the ultimate pursuit of music quality. This album not only achieved outstanding success in music but also resonated with countless people emotionally. It makes us believe that love can be so beautiful, so pure, and so eternal. It lets us see that music can become a carrier of emotion, traversing time and space, touching everyone's heart."
Lin Chuyan went on stage again.
Damn it, that's a bit cheesy.
When he used the album to confess before, he didn't think much of it, but hearing others publicly state the reason for the award made him feel quite embarrassed.
He stood on stage and looked at Ruan Xingyu.
The latter was below the stage, winking and making faces at him.
Lin Chuyan, who was originally pondering how to give his speech, was amused, and all the flowery romantic words he had organized were forgotten.
Then he'd just say a few casual words!
"Ruan Xingyu, I hope we can be together forever. If one day I release an album of sad love songs, um, it must be because I am imagining the days of losing you."
[No, is this how romantic words are said now?]
[Lin Chuyan is something else; he's got all these lines, no wonder Ruan Xingyu is completely wrapped around his finger.]
[Congratulations Lin Chuyan! Congratulations "Ruan Xingyu"!]
[The question is: when is this sad love song album coming out?]
Lin Chuyan went straight backstage; he and Ruan Xingyu would sing a duet.
By the time the two returned to the stage, netizens were still guessing what the song would be, but the large screen in the background had already displayed the four characters "A Glimpse of Beauty".
[Holy crap, a new song premiere? And a duet?]
The prelude started quickly.
This was a Chinese-style song.
Speaking of the Chinese Wave, the Chinese Wave arrived immediately.
Lin Chuyan began: "Turning hands to clouds, covering hands to rain, washing hands in a golden basin to stop the wind and rain; not longing for the mortal world, yet hard to part with memories, every segment has you."
After four lines, it was Ruan Xingyu's turn: "The first meeting in youth is always in my heart, the deep affection has not diminished over the years; how can the landscape like a painting compare to the scenery you gave me."
[Good, good, good! Love songs should be sung while holding hands!]
[Help, these two are making eyes at each other again.]
[He only has her in his eyes.]
Then the most lingering part of this song was about to come.
Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu sang line by line, telling the story gently.
Even though the two people on stage were just holding hands, it sounded like they were glued together.
"Listening to the jade zither under the willow tree, dancing and singing along."
"As if reflecting the graceful shadow of that year."
"Who stirred up feelings with a few words."
"Whose smile and frown swayed the nebula."
"The paper fan hides foreshadowing and mystery in the poetry."
"Purple smoke burns with heart's words, leaving fragrance waiting for someone to seek."
"History books list heroes, how much merit and fault is there."
"What do I seek in this life, only you."
[Tell me loudly: Is the Chinese Wave cool or not?!]
[These two are too suitable for duets, hahaha, love songs should be sung by couples to taste right!]
[This song is good, when is it being released? Don't finish singing and not release the single, hey!]
[What a line "What do I seek in this life, only you", so that's how you confess!]
[When are you getting married??? Should I bring the Civil Affairs Bureau over to you???]
The song ended.
The awards continued.
The Sound of Nature Festival was still outputting.
Most Popular Male Singer, Best Male Singer β Lin Chuyan.
Most Popular Female Singer, Best Female Singer β Ruan Xingyu.
Give it to you, give it all to you.
The Huayin Awards and Golden Melody Awards later, get the hell out of here!
How many awards did they win this night?
Lin Chuyan didn't count.
Netizens suddenly remembered Wawa's words: The Coronation of the Heavenly King, next year.
She is a Heavenly Queen, and he can finally be called a Heavenly King.
The awards ceremony hadn't ended, but Teacher Wawa couldn't help but post on Weibo.
[The Chinese Wave is the coolest. Congratulations Lin Chuyan! The madman of the era, the king of music. Chinese Music Industry, come and welcome your emperor!]
