On December 27th, it was a star-studded night, and when people were immersed in the joy of the festival, the Huading Award was awarded at ##的璀璨舞台上揭晓了答案 - 52-year-old Daolang, a music legend who has not appeared for a long time, won the "Best Asian Singer" award. Daolang, this name may have faded out of people's sight, but his music has always accompanied our growth. This is undoubtedly exciting news for knife fans.
However, there was a trace of sorrow in my heart. The Huading Award presents the award to the 52-year-old Daolang, is this really the glory of internal entertainment? In my opinion, this is more like the sorrow of internal entertainment.
Huading Award, in my impression, is more inclined to the award stage of film and television dramas, where those bright stars, dazzling lights and touching stories have been staged. But when it comes to music awards, there always seems to be something more authoritative and professional. In the development of the Huading Awards over the years, although they have also accumulated a certain amount of influence, their status always seems to be slightly awkward.
For many veteran musicians, the Huading Award is not the most important honor for them. Compared with more historical and authoritative music award ceremonies such as the Music Billboard and the China Original Song Chart, the music awards of the Huading Awards are a bit "frivolous". But why did Daolang choose to win his honor on such a stage?
I have to mention that in 2023, Daolang's music has once again swept the world. The new album "Mountain Songs" is like a clear stream, nourishing the hearts of countless people. Among them, "Rakshasa Sea City" has set a record of tens of billions of online broadcasts, which is enough to be proud of the others. Daolang's works are not only warmly sought after in China, but also won numerous praises internationally. His lyrics are full of literature, and without a certain cultural background, it is difficult to fully understand their deep meaning.
But regrettably, despite such excellent music, Daolang has never won an honor at more authoritative music awards ceremonies such as the China Original Song Award and the Music Festival Award. This can't help but make people wonder: why are well-known domestic music awards so stingy with Daolang?
At the same time, the Huading Awards awarded Daolang the "Best Asian Singer" award. This can't help but remind people of Na Ying's remarks at the 2010 Fengyun Music Festival: Awards should not only look at album sales, but also on the contribution of the music industry (resources, connections). Perhaps it is precisely because the judges of the Huading Award are not professional artists that they are not trapped by interests and can decide the award according to their own preferences and public voice.
This can't help but make people sigh: for those who work silently on the road of music, regardless of fame and fortune, Daolang's award may be an affirmation, but for the entire music industry, Daolang's award at the Huading Award is more like a helpless compromise. This is perhaps the greatest sorrow of internal entertainment - the real value of music is drowned in the whirlpool of commercial interests and interpersonal relationships.
