Lu Chen, Yu Ming, Wang Quanfeng, Xue An, and Ou Yanghan!
The five nominees for the Best Male Singer of the Global Chinese Original Songs Chart.
In the Chinese music industry, which was full of talented people, male singers had always occupied more than half of the country. Therefore, no matter what music award, the Best Male Singer was the most important and the most eye-catching.
Therefore, in some music awards in previous years, there were even strange things that several male singers won the "Best" at the same time.
There was only one Best Male Singer of the Global Chinese Original Songs Chart!
The main hall of the National Grand Theater suddenly became very quiet. The 5,000 audience and guests all held their breath, waiting for the most important award to be announced.
Even those who were watching the live broadcast of the music festival in front of their TVs and computers.
Among the five singers who were nominated, Yu Ming was undoubtedly the most popular.
The 40-year-old singer had a brilliant resume. In his more than 20 years of singing career, he had released a total of 15 solo albums and accumulated a total of more than 22 million album sales. He was undoubtedly one of the top figures in the domestic pop music industry.
In terms of qualifications, prestige, fame, and connections … Yu Ming was firmly ahead of the other four competitors.
Including Lu Chen.
Among the five nominees, Lu Chen was second only to Yu Ming in popularity.
Xue An and Ou Yanghan were not weak and had their own wonderful performances in 2016. However, they came from Taiwan and Hong Kong respectively. Participating in the highest domestic pop music evaluation was undoubtedly a loss of "geographical location" and "social harmony".
Of course, these two were still nominated for the "Best Overseas Male Singer" later.
The "overseas" here mainly referred to the three special zones and Southeast Asian countries, and also included the Chinese people in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea. It was a general concept.
As for Wang Quanfeng, he was basically an accompaniment.
Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the Best Male Singer was mainly between Lu Chen and Yu Ming.
Yu Ming's advantage was obvious, but he was not without weaknesses.
In 2016, Yu Ming did not release a solo album. He only released two singles. Although both songs had topped the original music chart, compared with Lu Chen's proud achievements in the pop music industry, they were undoubtedly dwarfed.
This made the Best Male Singer competition a huge suspense.
Who would the judges of the Global Chinese Original Songs Chart give more votes to?
Everyone was waiting to see what would happen.
The person in charge of revealing the answer was Lu Ning, the vice president of the Chinese Musicians' Association. This highly respected and famous musician had always been concerned about the development of domestic pop music. The establishment of the Global Chinese Top Songs Chart was inseparable from his strong support and promotion.
In addition, Lu Ning was also the chairman of the Golden Melody Chart's judging panel.
The panel of judges consisted of 72 judges, who were basically well-known figures in the industry. Some of them were great seniors of the pop music industry who had retired long ago, some were senior executives of the media and news circle, and some were famous music critics and educators.
Impartiality, openness, and fairness were the principles of the judging panel of the Golden Melody Chart.
Lu Ning was the cornerstone that guaranteed the three principles of the selection.
He personally came to present the Best Male Singer award, which fully demonstrated the importance and value of this award.
In front of the 5,000 audience, the white-haired Lu Ning calmly opened the red envelope and took out the paper with the winner's name printed inside.
The seven cameras at the scene were all pointed at him.
Lu Ning's gaze froze for three seconds as he stared at the unfolded letter.
These three seconds felt like an eternity, making people wonder if something had gone wrong.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy and oppressive.
At this time, under the director's command, several cameras promptly focused on the five candidates.
Yu Ming looked very calm with a smile on his face, but there was still a hint of nervousness in his eyes. Although he had won countless awards in the first 20 years of his singing career, the Best Male Singer award in the first Global Chinese Top Songs Chart had a completely different meaning.
Lu Chen was calm and focused. His hand was tightly holding Chen Fei 'er's hand. Obviously, his heart was different from what he looked like on the surface.
Xue An, Ou Yanghan, and the others were either nervous or excited, showing their strong expectations.
Lu Ning slowly opened his mouth and said, "Won …"
"The Best Male Singer of the Global Chinese Top Songs Chart is …"
"Lu Chen!"
The famous musician emphasized the last two words and enunciated them particularly clearly.
His voice was transmitted through the microphone to the digital music processing equipment at the speed of light along the cable. Then, with the help of the high-fidelity sound system arranged around the hall, it was clearly transmitted to the 5,000 guests and the tens of millions of people in front of their televisions and computers.
Lu Chen!
The Best Male Singer of the first Global Chinese Top Songs Chart belonged to Lu Chen, a young singer who had debuted less than two years ago, and it also pushed him to the peak of the Chinese pop music world.
It was a little incredible, but it was so reasonable!
Looking back at the whole of 2016, there was really no more outstanding male singer than Lu Chen in the Chinese pop music world. The original works he created and sang had a deep impact on the whole music world. To a large extent, he reversed the original trend of a large number of domestic pop songs covering, plagiarizing, and imitating European, American, Japanese, and Korean works.
From the second half of 2015 to the first half of 2016, LuChen's works frequently appeared on the Original Music Chart. His second album, "The Ordinary Road", created excellent sales results. The first of the ten works in the album was a fine work, and he became popular all over the country.
Lu Chen deserved to win the Best Male Singer of the Year. Even those who didn't like him couldn't deny the achievements and popularity he had gained in the past year, and his contribution to the pop music world couldn't be ignored.
"Congratulations, Lu Chen!"
As Lu Chen's biggest competitor, Yu Ming, who lost this important award, was the first to stand up and applaud, sending his sincere congratulations to the winner.
Although he was very sorry, he was not very disappointed, nor was he dissatisfied at all.
Even if he had lost to a very young junior, he would not be able to do so.
Because Lu Chen's performance in 2016 was really too good, the voting result of the Top Songs Chart's judges was fair.
"Congratulations!"
Chen Fei 'er first gave Lu Chen a Big hug, full of joy.
Then the guests and the audience stood up one after another, and the messy applause soon became neat, like a summer storm sweeping through the main hall of the National Grand Theater.
"Congratulations!"
Tan Hong, Liao Jia, and others sitting next to Lu Chen hugged Lu Chen one by one, patting him on the back to encourage and support him.
"Thank you!" "Thank you!"
Lu Chen didn't know how many blessings and congratulations he received along the way.
This was his peak moment!
