Two days later.
Shanghai.
The Annual Music Awards Ceremony began.
As the stars gathered, the awards were unveiled one by one.
"The nominees for the Best Lyrics Award are: Chen Guang, 'Worlds Apart'; Zhang Ye, 'Exaggerated'; Zhang Ye, 'I Really Love You'; Zhao Yunji, 'A Dream'; Sun Tiandong, 'White Birch'. Next, I will announce that the winner of the Best Lyrics Award is — His name is — Zhang Ye! Exaggeration! "
Applause rang out!
Everyone congratulated him.
"Congratulations!"
"Haha, congratulations, Director Zhang!"
"What a good start!"
"There's no doubt that Teacher Zhang will win this award!"
"Yeah, he wrote too many good songs this year."
"Yes, if we really want to go by the quality of the lyrics, then it wouldn't be too much even if Zhang Ye's songs were nominated for this year's Best Lyrics Award."
"For this award, Old Chen still can't beat him."
"Zhang Ye's advantage is overwhelming."
"It's time to compose."
"Let's see who's the best composer."
Below.
The award was announced again.
"The nominees for the Best Composition Award are: Zhang Ye, 'I'; Shu Han, 'A Little Dance'; Zhang Ye, 'Because of Love'; Xu Qi, 'Boundless Spring Winds'. Next, we announce that the winner of the Best Composition Award is — Teacher Zhang Ye! Because of Love! "
A round of applause!
"Wow!"
"Another one!"
"Not bad, Teacher Zhang!"
"Director Zhang, treat us. I owe you three meals already!"
"They even won the Lyrics and Music of the Year Awards! In the history of music festivals, only two people have done it! "
"Yeah, only two people got it at the same time!"
"Don't worry, there's still the best song of the year."
"Yes, Zhang Ye might become the first person in history to win three consecutive cities!"
Finally, the Best Song of the Year was announced.
"The winner of the Golden Melody Award is —"
"What's the first song that comes to mind?"
"Which song will it be?"
"I hereby announce that the winner of this year's Golden Melody Award is — 'The King of Karaoke'!"
The audience applauded!
Many people even stood up and gave their applause and cheers to Zhang Ye!
"This song is really good!"
"Three consecutive defeats!"
"This is the first time in history!"
"All three heavyweight awards have been given to Zhang Ye!"
"It's a pity that he didn't get the Best Arrangement Award."
"Other than the awards for Best Newcomer, Best Arrangement, Best Band, Best Group, etc., Zhang Ye has won all the awards that he could!"
"Zhang Ye is the biggest winner today!"
…
The next day.
Nanjing.
The Film and Television Awards Ceremony began.
Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Adaptation, and many other awards were announced.
Zhang Ye naturally had no fate with these awards.
…
It was another day.
At night.
The Annual Director Award was unveiled.
This was an independent director award that was different from the film and television awards.
"The winner of the annual Variety Director Award goes to — Zhang Ye!"
"The winner of the Highest Film Award of the Year is Li Ke!"
"The winner of the Highest Director Award of the Year is — Zhang! Ye! "
The announcement of the final award stunned many people in the industry!
"What?"
"The Highest Director Award has been given to Zhang Ye?"
"Ah?"
"This is too unexpected!"
"The biggest dark horse!"
"This is the highest Director's Award that surpasses all the other Director's Awards. Normally, this award would be given to a movie director. After all, the artistry of a movie is definitely incomparable to other variety shows and TV series. It's the same every year. Why would it be given to a variety show director? There's no such precedent! "
"I didn't give it to the variety director."
"What's that?"
"The highest award for directing was given to the gala director!"
"You mean the Spring Festival Gala?"
"I see!"
"Your words have woken me up!"
"That makes sense! So it was given to the executive director of the Spring Festival Gala! "
"With the height of this year's Spring Festival Gala, there's nothing wrong with that!"
…
That night.
Another award ceremony was held at the same time.
"The winner of the Best Dance Award is —"
"There seems to be no suspense for this award anymore."
"The winner of the award is — Thousand-Hand Guanyin!"
"Thousand-hand Guanyin" won the highest award in the dance category!
As the choreographer and planner, Zhang Ye went onstage with Qi Xiaomei and the deaf-mute dance team to receive the award.
…
The next day.
At an award ceremony venue.
"Next, we will announce the Most Outstanding Artist of the Year award."
"The winner is — Zhang Ye!"
…
One.
Five.
Ten.
In recent days, there had been a lot of awards.
In recent days, Zhang Ye had received so many awards that his hands were getting tired.
There were many awards, but only a few of them were the highest awards that gave him a boost to his popularity on the Celebrity Rankings Index. Many of the other awards did not. For example, the Most Outstanding Artist of the Year Award sounded very impressive, but it was actually an award given by a non-governmental organization and was not a national award. There was also the Most Trending Person of the Year Award and the Most Popular Weibo Person Award. Zhang Ye had also won them. It was considered an honor to show that the organization and the public had acknowledged him. As for whether it gave him a boost to his popularity or not, it didn't really matter.
All the major non-governmental awards.
All the mainstream awards.
All the highest awards.
Zhang Ye had won a total of 12 awards, placing him in the top three among all the celebrities!
…
The netizens were also very surprised.
"Zhang Ye is going crazy!"
"Why are they all his awards!"
"I don't think we can keep all these awards at home, right? Hahaha! "
"Last year was a bumper harvest for Zhang Ye. He reached the top of the domestic S-list and won a mountain of awards. There was no other celebrity in the entertainment industry who was more glorious than him."
"Yeah, although Sister Zhang won more awards than Zhang Ye, more than half of her awards were in the film category. Zhang Ye doesn't even make movies anymore, nor has he ever acted in a TV series before. If this fellow were to really act in the film industry and his acting skills were good, he would probably win even more awards than Sister Zhang this year."
"That former Heavenly King won't be able to catch up!"
"Yeah, he's pulled away from his popularity by a lot!"
"Zhang Ye has finally stabilized his position in the domestic S-list!"
"It's the new year. What do you guys think Zhang Ye will do?"
"Who knows?"
"He should have already reached the top of the domestic market, right?"
"Could Zhang Ye be planning to take the Asian route?"
"It's possible!"
…
On this day.
The final award ceremony came to an end.
At night, Zhang Ye drove home. The moment he stepped through the entrance of the villa, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The large villa was brightly decorated!
Bang!
Bang!
Ribbons flew everywhere!
Everyone was clapping and screaming!
"Director Zhang!"
"Congratulations!"
"We're here to celebrate for you!"
"Everyone, let's cheer up!"
"Hahaha!"
"We were simply too great last year!"
Wu Zeqing was smiling as she watched the commotion. Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, Little Wang, Tong Fu, and the other staff from the studio were all here. All of them looked very happy.
Zhang Ye also smiled. "What's going on?"
Ha Qiqi said, "To celebrate for you."
Zhang Ye said happily, "Sure, thanks."
"There's also a cake." Little Wang hummed a little tune as she pushed the cake over. "Director Zhang, hurry up and cut it."
Zhang Ye looked at Old Wu. "Did you organize this?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "It has nothing to do with me. They were the ones who organized it."
Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "We haven't even officially held a celebration party for your ascension to the top of the entertainment circle. You've won so many awards this time, with five of them even being the highest awards. Our popularity has also gone up a notch, so we don't have to worry about being caught up by those behind us anymore. We can really celebrate this in peace."
"Let's eat the cake."
"The wine is here."
"Come, cheers."
"Everyone, cheers!"
It was very lively at home. Everyone was very excited.
They had taken down a Heavenly King!
There were countless awards!
This was Zhang Ye's harvest and results from last year!
Ha Qiqi drank two mouthfuls of red wine and started to talk more. "Director Zhang, we've surpassed last year's target and completed the 'Reach the Summit' plan. It's a new year, so why don't you set a new goal for everyone? What are we going to do this year? Which direction should we go in? We await your instructions! "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Shouldn't we be aiming for Asia this year?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Asia?"
"That's great!"
"We should've gone to Asia a long time ago!"
"Compared to our domestic popularity, we're still far behind in Asia."
"Yeah, even though we're already an A-list celebrity in Asia, we're still ranked at the bottom of the Asian A-list rankings. Moreover, once we're out of China, our popularity isn't that high either. We're just at the same level as the other Asian B-list celebrities. That's because a large portion of our Asian popularity score comes from our domestic popularity score. It's our domestic popularity score that pushes us up the rankings."
"Right, we can do something in Asia!"
"Yeah, there's still a lot of room for development."
"Alright, it's settled then!"
"We'll follow Director Zhang's instructions."
Everyone was extremely excited and felt unprecedentedly confident.
Ha Qiqi also said, "That's great, Director Zhang. Our studio has just received an invitation and hasn't had the chance to inform you about it yet. It just so happens that there's going to be an event in Asia. Since you haven't even been to China before, why don't you take this opportunity to show your face in Asia? Increase your popularity a little? Or do you want to scout ahead? "
When Zhang Ye heard that, he said, "Sure."
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Alright, I'll reply to them then."
"Come! Let's have another toast! "
"Our target is the Asian S-list celebrity!"
"Alright, our target is the Asian Heavenly King!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The goal for this year was set just like that!
