A strange thing happened at the 2010 music festival
is obviously one of the top ten influential singers, but only nine people have received the award
The last empty is there
And this position originally belonged to the grassroots singer Daolang
01
The shortlist for the music awards is chosen by the general public
Whether or not you can win the award in the end depends on the "face" of the judges
thinks that back then, the album sales dominated the music world
Successfully shortlisted for the "2010 Music Festival Top Ten Influential Singers" list
It is only a matter of time before we win the award
But who would have thought that Cheng Biting Gold would be killed halfway!
02
Na Ying, who is both a contestant and a judge
"Daolang's songs do not have aesthetic characteristics"
"If it is the Olympics, choose one of Daolang and Liu Huan, I will definitely stand in Liu Huan's position".
Eliminated Daolang with his own hands
In the end, it led to the tragedy of "I'd rather be empty than give Dao Lang an award".
Although Daolang himself doesn't care much about music awards
But this incident has become a scar that can never be erased in the hearts of knife fans
03
After the incident
Many people think that Naying is small
There is no room for Dao Lang in his eyes
For this reason, there is a follow-up story about Na Ying suffering serious cyberbullying in 2023
Here's the problem:
Although Na Ying is a queen of the music scene, she does not have the "power of life and death"
Why can one sentence eliminate Daolang?
All this starts with the rules of the entertainment industry!
04
The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind
The gun shoots the first bird, everyone should understand this truth
"Heroes" can appear within the group
But not outside the group
Because his presence would make the whole group feel threatened
Daolang is a grassroots singer
This kind of artist can't get into the eyes of mainstream singers at all
If you spread rumors too much, the result will definitely be boycotted
In 2004, Daolang's debut album "The First Snow in 2002" was not promoted without any promotion
More than 2.7 million were sold
It is reported that more than 10 million pirated copies were sold
This is something that no mainstream singer has done
Jay Chou, who is as strong as the unbeatable, only sold more than 2.6 million copies
Now, this scene is happening to a grassroots person
The mainstream music industry can accept it
05
Take, for example, the 2010 music festival
Na Ying has been shortlisted for the "Top Ten Influential Singers" list
Even if the organizer arranged for her to be a judge in advance
should also let Na Ying avoid suspicion after learning this news
The result is: Na Ying became the chairman of the jury with "one veto power".
also personally planned the "elimination of Daolang"
The details prove: Depriving Daolang of the music award may not be Na Ying's personal intention
It's the attitude of the entire mainstream music scene
They can't tolerate a grassroots standing on top of the Chinese music scene
06
As it turned out: they were right to be worried
Entering 2024 and beyond
The retired Daolang relied on the album "Mountain Songs".
Won more than 10 music awards in one go
Including Top Ten Singers, Top Ten Albums, Top Ten Songs, Golden Melody Awards, Huading Awards, etc
Imagine, if the mainstream music industry hadn't suppressed Daolang back then
What will happen?
Daolang's name will appear at various awards parties, taking away the light of mainstream singers
There will also be more and more grassroots artists rising
And those mainstream singers who rely on resources and capital to get to the top
will gradually lose the opportunity to perform
Of course, from the perspective of ordinary people
We hope that grassroots singers like Daolang will become mainstream
Because they have the qualities of humility and low-key, simplicity and kindness, and indifference to fame and fortune
And this kind of quality is worth following, learning and becoming
As for Na Ying, who everyone complains, she is just a "puppet" of capital
