On August 21, the 32nd Golden Melody Awards came to an end. For various reasons, this year's Golden Melody Awards have only been broadcast live on a small scale, so that many people do not know that it has ended.
However, even the netizens who know this year's Golden Melody Awards continue to sing the Golden Melody Awards as usual.
First of all, it is undeniable that in recent years, due to the shrinkage of the music market, the indiscriminate bombardment of the Vibrato Divine Comedy, and the slowdown in the frequency of filming by a group of well-known Hong Kong and Taiwan musicians in the millennium, people's musical aesthetics have gradually broken down and subdivided.
The watchability of the Golden Melody Awards is indeed getting lower and lower, and the strength of the singers with higher popularity is getting fewer and fewer entries, which also makes the authority of the Golden Melody Awards questioned. But what is even more lamentable is that most listeners still block themselves in the early music appreciation circle, unwilling to contact new songs and understand new musicians, and will only accept the rotten music operated by capital, and constantly regret the "decline of the music world".
In fact, the music world has never declined, on the contrary, there are more and more ways to contact good music, musical styles are blooming, and good music mushrooms every year.
In fact, the music market has always had capital intervention, but twenty years ago, the capital pushed to the front of the stage is Zhou Wang Taolin and other musicians, and now Xue Zhiqian, Li Ronghao, Deng Ziqi, but we can find that the number of hot songs of these so-called mainstream singers is still hanging by online songs.
Further down are Chen Xuening, Flower Porridge, Ren Ran, etc., but in the final analysis, it is still what song and who can make money, and capital and the market will push what.
Are we, the listeners, completely irresponsible? Maybe it's because of short videos, it's because of the rice circle, who will bother to find good music? Who wants to take the initiative to go out and pursue a new musical aesthetic? Or very little.
Back to the Golden Melody Awards
Many people feel that the Golden Melody Awards are becoming less and less unwatchable, and the lengthy shortlist is full of people they don't know. 10 years ago, the Golden Melody Awards, every year there are well-known singers shortlisted for the award, and now, the Golden Melody Awards have become a small number of people's self-intoxication.
But in fact, the Golden Melody Awards are also constantly throwing olive branches to mainland musicians every year, like the mainland musicians nominated or won by the Golden Melody Awards in recent years, including Gong Ge, Yu Jiayun, Xu Jun, Ding Shiguang, as well as Li Quan, Tan Weiwei and others who were shortlisted this year.
Really talented and serious about music but not to get the audience's affirmation, some people but send bad songs to maintain popularity, and then on a few variety shows to talk about a few paragraphs can earn countless gold, this is not the choice of listeners?
Now let's take a closer look at the golden melody awards that are highly recognized and the winners:
Best Chinese Male VocalIst: Egg Castle, "Home Music"
Best Chinese Female Singer: Tian Fuzhen, "Nobody Knows"
Best Chinese Album Award: Egg Castle, "Home Music"
Album of the Year: Sambui's "Power Pulu'em"
Best Album Producer: Chen Jianqi, "Nobody Knows"
Song of the Year Award: "The Name Carved in My Heart"
Special Contribution Award (Lifetime Achievement Award): Luo Dayou
Seeing such a list of winners, how many people will think that this person named Egg Castle won the best album this year and was in the case of defeating a number of top male singers such as Jay Chou, Lin Junjie, wu Qingfeng, although I have not heard of it, but winning the award shows that this person's music should be good, it is worth listening to. There are other finalists who never knew, but I can pay attention to his music.
But it seems that most people's focus is not on music, but on whether the stars they know are shortlisted.
In recent years, this situation has not been seen, and even many netizens have called it Taiwan's own award, so they have sneered at it.
However, in fact, the Golden Melody Award is still the most influential and authoritative award in the Chinese music scene, and it is also the industry award that all singers value and awe most.
Therefore, this is also doomed to the Golden Melody Award, even if it has repeatedly declined, it is still a major "belief" of a number of Chinese singers.
Of course, in recent years, the judging tendency of the Golden Melody Awards has also undergone a major change, and the most commendable point is that it not only encourages innovation but also praises popularity, respects the roots and strives for diversity and inclusiveness, giving many young newcomers the opportunity to be seen by the public.
Finally, let's talk about Luo Dayou separately
Luo Dayou deserved to win the Lifetime Achievement Award. Awarding him this award is also very careful, Ma Shifang like the "Heard and Heard" program to introduce, telling the music world of Luo Dayou's era, let people feel infinite emotion.
Immediately after a group of juniors covered Luo Dayou's classic works, although not so stable, and even a little bit of a car accident scene, but still can't help but thick up the past and the present - it seems that the era of masters has gone forever.
The rebels of such an era, the time has passed and sat under the stage or the restrained and tough predecessor, but there is more warmth, and the appearance of the award speech on the stage is still the big brother we are familiar with, the legend.
We don't need to be harsh or complain about any Golden Melody Awards in recent years, nor do we have to be too unfair to a singer, this award did not undertake such a function, perhaps in the golden 2010-2015 there was such a capability, but the Golden Melody Awards and the scenery of the music it represents have been fixed in the "golden age" of the Chinese music scene.
