Chapter 128 Flying Award
【Aaaaaah—!! A fantastic start!】
【? ? ? 】
[What happened to being a runner-up? They actually won a Feitian Award!]
[Haha, Yang Du's smile is harder to suppress than an AK.]
The youngest recipient of the Feitian Award in history has truly ascended to heaven.
[If it were me, I'd be grinning like a maniac.]
In the internet age, the speed of communication is measured in seconds. The moment Yang Du was announced as the winner, the hashtag #YoungestFlyingApsaraAwardWinnerInHistory appeared on Weibo.
Many netizens who previously thought the Feitian Awards was a commendation ceremony for middle-aged and elderly people or something else and had no intention of watching the live broadcast immediately turned on the TV or logged into CCTV after learning about the news from Weibo, WeChat Moments or other online channels.
The ratings for CCTV-3 and CCTV-15 showed a clear upward trend within just a few minutes.
Did they really win an award?
Besides fans and netizens, industry insiders also pay attention to Yang Du.
Although the Feitian Awards have a popular category, there is very little overlap with the mainstream music scene. In previous years, the list was just a quick glance and it was over. But this year, Yang Du is an exception, achieving success in both pop and mainstream music.
Even more amazingly, Yang Du actually won the Feitian Award; it was like the sun rising in the west.
In a group of industry insiders, messages are constantly being updated.
[It's just for children.]
Don't underestimate the value of steamed buns; children's awards are also Feitian Awards, and their prestige is the same.
It's sour, really sour.
If Yang Du had gotten the Feitian Award through connections, they could comfortably join in the criticism, telling themselves that it was nothing special and that they could have gotten it too if they had connections.
But the fact that one person, three songs, and four nominations is clearly not something that could be achieved by simply using connections.
If the Feitian Awards were so easily lobbied, these people would have already gone to secure nominations; why are they here spewing sour grapes?
"From now on, we really have to call her Teacher Yang when we meet." Someone suddenly said.
The group chat went quiet for a moment.
Yes, in China, the actual meaning of an award within the system far exceeds the award itself.
Putting everything else aside, everyone previously thought that Yang Du's biggest disadvantage was his age and other disadvantages. Now that he has won the Feitian Award, who would still bring up his seniority?
The Feitian Award itself is the highest level of recognition, personally certified by the propaganda department, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the Music Association.
In fact, not only were netizens and industry insiders surprised, but even Yang Du himself was somewhat taken aback when he heard "Singing and Smiling".
After the nomination list was announced, Director Huo gave Yang Du a heads-up that as a major patriotic film this year, "Today is Your Birthday" would be unlikely to have any surprises.
As for the other awards, just keep a calm attitude.
Therefore, Yang Du had already lowered his expectations, but he never expected to be pleasantly surprised right from the start.
Amid applause, Yang Du stood up with a big smile on his face, but remembering that there was still a live broadcast, he quickly suppressed his smile and forced a gentle grin.
It can't float, it can't float.
Hahaha.
Go on stage to receive the award.
Yang Du received the trophy in the shape of a flying apsara from the children's channel.
Huang Yawen, who also received an award, is Yang Du's mother's aunt, and Zeng Aimin is even his grandfather's generation. Therefore, when it came time to give his acceptance speech, Yang Du naturally upheld the spirit of respecting the elderly and being modest, letting the two seniors speak first.
To everyone's surprise, the old man was very generous: "You go first, you go first. My grandson is older than you. The young people go first."
Huang Yawen smiled and nodded, indicating that he would go first.
Unable to refuse, Yang Du had no choice but to be the first to give his acceptance speech amidst the good-natured laughter of the crowd.
"It's an honor to receive this award with both of you teachers." Yang Du gripped the trophy tightly in his hand.
"Thank you for the Feitian Award, thank you to the judging panel for this encouragement. As a newcomer to the industry, receiving this honor is the greatest affirmation for me. I also thank the children of the Beijing Conservatory of Music Affiliated Primary School Choir for their performance—thank you to my alma mater, Beijing Conservatory of Music, and thank you to Director Huo—"
In Hangzhou, Yang Zhao and Weng Shuying are watching the awards ceremony.
"—Thank you to my parents, Mom and Dad, I love you!"
The more sentimental Weng Shuying watched her son holding the trophy on TV, touched her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Yang Zhao was also gratified. He had gained both fame and fortune, and felt that his life had been worthwhile.
The awards ceremony continued.
As the process progressed, awards in the folk art and popular music categories were presented one after another. As expected, "The Lone Warrior" failed to win the popular music award.
The winners were "Grassland Herdsman" and "Affection for Bayan Har Mountain," two songs that sound very patriotic but are sung in a popular style.
Upon seeing this, many industry insiders, especially producers, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If he continues to win awards, it would be too incredible.
The following categories of bel canto and traditional opera have nothing to do with Yang Du.
More than half an hour later, the awards for ethnic songs were presented.
[It should win an award, right? According to online predictions, "Today is Your Birthday" has the highest probability of winning.]
It's a close call. If "Singing and Smiling" doesn't win an award, "Today is Your Birthday" has a high chance, but it's hard to say right now.
[Praying for blessings! This devout woman is willing to exchange ten pounds of her own fat for the chance for Yang Du to win an award.]
[If you accompany one, I'll add five pounds of pork belly.]
[Laughing so hard I almost peed myself! Do people have five-colored flowers on their bodies?]
"Who won the National Folk Song Award at this year's Feitian Awards?"
"Today is Your Birthday", lyrics and music by Yang Du.
"Golden Light on the Mountain," lyrics by ————
【Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!】
[A second time winning the Feitian Award!]
[Four nominations, two trophies, current winning rate: 50%.]
Is Grandma Jiang Yinglan alright? Has anyone kindly called 120 (emergency services) for her? I'm worried something might have happened.
Did you notice? Yang Du is in first place, while "Singing and Smiling" was in second!
Knowledgeable netizens immediately explained to the newbie in the live chat that for major awards like the Feitian Award, which selects two or three out of ten, the order in which the results are announced is actually the final ranking of the votes.
In other words, in the eyes of the judges, "Today is Your Birthday" is the undisputed winner of the first prize in the ethnic song category!
Amidst applause, Yang Du stood up again.
If Yang Du's first time on stage was filled with surprise and excitement as a newcomer to the Feitian Awards stage, then he felt more of a sudden joy.
The second time I stepped onto the stage was a little different. I felt the trophy in my hands was heavy. In addition to the joy of being recognized, there was also a sense of responsibility of being expected and favored.
"Thank you for the Feitian Awards!"
"—When I was little, I would sit in front of the TV watching Yang Jiayin sing. At that time, I never imagined that one day I would be able to collaborate with Yang Jiayin on a song, and even stand on the Feitian Awards stage for it. Thank you, Ms. Yang, thank you everyone."
Just as Yang Du said on stage, ten minutes later, Yang Jiayin successfully won the Best Actress in the Ethnic Minority Category at this year's Feitian Awards.
