Chapter 123 Nomination
On December 10th, the Golden Chart Music Awards, a major event in the Chinese music scene with significant commercial influence and high public attention, officially announced its nomination list.
Over the past week, everyone has been amazed that "Swallowtail Butterfly" still managed to achieve a remarkable 220 million sales in its first week despite being overshadowed by "Goodbye Love," and that Tao Cheng, a rising star, has gained a slight advantage in a head-to-head competition with veteran diva Du Li.
Today, with the release of the nomination list, everyone undoubtedly has a clearer understanding of Tao Cheng's commercial appeal and dominance.
Tao Cheng garnered ten award nominations, including Best Female Pop Singer, Best Single Chart Singer, Best Single, and Most Popular Female Singer.
With ten nominations, it stands head and shoulders above the rest, leading the pack at this year's Golden Chart Music Awards.
[It's such a pity. "Swallowtail Butterfly" was released on November 30th. Although the data for songs like "Bubble" and "Cage" is enough to support a single nomination, the overall album's success will probably have to wait until next year. Otherwise, with the sales of "Swallowtail Butterfly," it could have won Best Album and Best Album Artist awards.]
[You're all lamenting that "Swallowtail Butterfly" didn't get an album nomination, but I'm the only one shocked that Tao Cheng is the first post-00s artist to be nominated for Best Female Pop Singer?]
—"A soft moan escaped her lips, her delicate body trembling!"
"That's exactly right. You can go check out Tao Cheng's supertopic; the fans are already celebrating the New Year."
"Congratulations, senior! You're the first person born in the 00s to be nominated for Best Female Pop Singer at the Golden Music Awards." Yang Du congratulated her on WeChat.
The Golden Chart Music Awards have six major awards: Best Pop Male and Female Singer (based on overall strength), Best Single Chart Singer (representing single dominance), Best Album Chart Singer (representing album dominance), Best Single, and Best Album.
For a long time, the nomination pool for the Best Male/Female Pop Singer award has been dominated by those born in the 80s and 90s.
Just look at the nomination list for Best Pop Male Singer next door. Although some netizens insist that this year is a slow year, with the "Big Four and Three Small" and "Big Four and Four Small" basically not making any moves, the nominees for Best Pop Male Singer are still all top singers born in the 80s and 90s.
[Hooray! Tao Cheng's nomination marks the beginning of Gen Z's official rise to the core stage of the Chinese music scene.]
—"Sister, you must be very good at history."
Who says Gen Z doesn't have its own representative figures? Look who's here!
[The new generation's leading lady, truly deserving of the title.]
[Yang Du, the man behind the leading lady!]
Not only Tao Cheng, but Jiang Yan and Lin Xu, who collaborated with Yang Du, also had a successful year on this list.
Jiang Yan received three nominations for Best Newcomer, Best Single, and Best Streaming Single for her song "Painting Heart".
Lin Xu's hard work paid off, earning him five nominations: Best Newcomer, Best Single, Best Digital Single, Best Social Single, and Most Popular Song.
The only regret is that, unlike the Golden Bell Awards, which recognizes behind-the-scenes production as an important award, the Golden Chart Music Awards is a purely commercial award. It has always focused only on the commercial value of singers, streaming data, and chart performance, and rarely pays attention to the behind-the-scenes members.
Therefore, there were no places reserved for behind-the-scenes personnel in the music industry on the nomination list, and Yang Du didn't get a single nomination.
Although Yang Du's name was not on the nomination list, legends about him abound online.
[Tao Cheng received ten nominations, Jiang Yan received three, and Lin Xu received five. Behind these eighteen nominations stands the same man: Yang Du!]
"Jin Shi should really kowtow to Yang Du."
"The uncrowned king has a bit of the feel of the godfather of the music scene in the 1980s and 90s."
Five days later, on Tuesday, December 15th.
The album "Swallowtail Butterfly" and the single "Swallowtail Butterfly" both achieved a double number one ranking on the Gold Chart Album Chart and the Gold Chart Singles Chart.
The album "Swallowtail Butterfly" has accumulated sales of over 400 million copies, directly earning platinum certification!
On the same afternoon, the China Music Flying Apsaras Awards announced its nomination list for this year.
Unlike the highly commercialized Golden Chart Music Awards, which caters to the mass market, the Feitian Awards, as a publicity award, is an honor highly valued by artists within the system, and retains a rigorous official character in its award settings and titles.
For example, there is no term for "singer" in the Feitian Awards; all artists are uniformly referred to as "actors." Also, each award recognizes two people out of ten nominees.
Logically speaking, the nomination list for this kind of award rarely attracts the attention of ordinary netizens, since it is no secret that the Feitian Award prefers works with ideological, artistic and social value.
Those who make the list are either masterpieces of national-level galas or mainstream works that resonate widely with society. It is indeed quite difficult for so-called kings and queens of the music industry to get into this list.
However, this year is an exception.
Yang Du, who was ubiquitous on the list of winners but never achieved anything, had his moment of glory at the Feitian Awards.
First, "Today is Your Birthday" was nominated for the National Song Award, and its singer, Yang Jiayin, was nominated for the National Actress Award.
Secondly, "Singing and Smiling" was nominated for the children's song award.
What surprised Yang Du the most was that "The Lone Warrior" also won a nomination for the popular song award.
Yang Du single-handedly won nominations in the folk, popular, and children's categories with three songs, even though the Feitian Awards only have eight categories in total.
So when netizens saw that Yang Du received a producer nomination in the professional category, their feelings were very complicated.
On the one hand, it's not surprising, since the three songs span three categories, and each one is highly praised.
Some people may not like one of the songs, but it's not a problem with the quality of the song; it's more a matter of personal taste. What's sweet to one is bitter to another.
Given Yang Du's professional abilities, it's only natural that he received a producer nomination.
On the other hand, it seems somewhat bizarre and absurd.
After all, he was so young that his name seemed completely out of place among the many nominees from the older generation, including fathers and grandfathers.
However, it's not entirely surprising, given the quality and success of Yang Du's single.
Wow! I was discussing Yang Du online before, and because he has so many works, I always felt like he'd been in the industry for years. But I just found out today that this is his first individual award nomination!
"+1, I always forget Yang Du's age because of his high productivity."
Has no one noticed? If Yang Du wins the award, he will be the youngest recipient in the history of the Feitian Award.
[It's like watching your own child suddenly ascend to great heights—I'm so worried that Yang Du will win such a prestigious award and then really become an artist and stop making pop music.]
"Don't worry, upstairs sister. If you're really worried, you can check out his Weibo. You'll feel relieved soon."
"Speaking of which, as a music producer with the title of member of the Music Association, your Weibo posts are all about emotions. @YangDudu, aren't you neglecting your duties a bit?"
Soon, Tao Cheng replied to Yang Du with a message: "Congratulations, junior. Strive to stand out from the crowd!"
