Chapter 607: The villain has his way

Xu Tian said: "Nothing, let's go."

At six o'clock sharp, the ceremony started on time.

The red carpet was full of big names, and reporters frantically pressed the camera shutter, and the flash made people unable to open their eyes.

As an annual grand event, the Golden Melody Awards are always the focus of attention and lively before and after they are held every year.

As an annual grand event, every award of the Golden Melody Awards has a high degree of discussion.

Especially the list of Best Female Singer this year is quite controversial. From the announcement, netizens have launched a fierce scolding war, condemning Nie Jingjing for not being worthy of the position and not being qualified to be nominated.

Of course, besides condemning Nie Jingjing, some netizens are more interested in this year's winners.

Most people put their bets on Du Yilan, the first sister of Giant Star Media.

Du Yilan debuted as a member of a singing and dancing group at the age of 14, and then flew solo, successfully transforming from an idol singer to a powerful Song Queen. She has won two other awards in the Huaxia music circle. If she can win the Golden Melody Award for Song Queen tonight, she will become the tenth Grand Slam female singer in the Huaxia music circle.

And this time, Giant Star Media, in order for Du Yilan to be successfully nominated for the Golden Melody Awards, not only invited the most authoritative music producer in the industry, but also put a lot of effort into promotion.

A while ago, shops in the streets and alleys were playing the title track of her nominated album. From middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s to children who just started school, the popularity is very high.

And the Golden Melody Awards have always liked powerful singers with high popularity, and Giant Star can be considered to have figured out the judging criteria of the judges and catered to them.

Plus, compared with other nominated singers, Du Yilan's comprehensive strength is the strongest, and her passer-by popularity is also very good, so many netizens have determined that this Best Female Singer belongs to her.

Besides Du Yilan, this popular winner, Chen Xingyao, a female singer from Tian Feng Entertainment, was also nominated.

Chen Xingyao's singing skills are unstable, but she has a sweet appearance and extremely high popularity. Because this album also has a gold-medal team to protect it, she was successfully nominated.

In short, among the five singers selected, except for Nie Jingjing, the singing skills of the other four have been recognized by professionals to varying degrees, and their passer-by popularity is also very good, so Nie Jingjing's name mixed among them seems a bit out of place, and she is even jokingly called the most "famous but not real" nominee by netizens.

On the way to the venue, Nie Jingjing sat in the back row and swiped the screen to refresh Weibo quickly.

For the past two days, the internet has been full of negative reviews about her, and she almost vomited from watching them.

"They scold me over and over again using those few sentences, without any sincerity."

"So what if I'm a vase? At least I have beauty, much stronger than those ugly monsters!"

"I'm famous but not real? Have they listened to my new album!"

"If they listened and still said I'm famous but not real, then their ears must be deaf!"

Nie Jingjing paused slightly and turned to look at Murong Xue.

"Hey, if I really don't win the award, I guess I'll have to retire. But you don't have to be afraid. Even if you don't retire, no one will say anything about you. Instead, they will sympathize with you for being implicated by me. Just pretend to be dead and don't say anything then."

Yan Qingxue, sitting in the front row, twitched her mouth.

"Pretend to be dead" or something... can she really talk.

However, Yan Qingxue started to complain in her heart, but Murong Xue beside Nie Jingjing had no reaction at all.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, didn't you hear?" Nie Jingjing reached out and patted Murong Xue on the shoulder.

"What?" Murong Xue was looking out the window absent-mindedly and was startled by her.

"What are you thinking about, didn't hear me talking to you?" Nie Jingjing was a bit speechless.

"Sor, sorry... I just zoned out."

Nie Jingjing turned her head and looked her up and down, suddenly realizing something, and said exaggeratedly.

"Murong Xue, you wouldn't be nervous, would you?"

Murong Xue:...

"No..." After a long while, she replied stubbornly.

"Looking at you like this, you are nervous." Nie Jingjing curled her lips. "This kind of occasion is actually nothing to be nervous about."

"If you win the award, it's naturally very good, but if you don't win, doesn't the earth still turn?"

"Your singing skills are not bad. Even if you don't win this year, you will have a chance in the future."

"Look at me, I'm about to retire, and I'm not as nervous as you."

In fact, Nie Jingjing didn't hold much hope for winning the award this time. There were so many competitors in the same period, and her reputation was bad. Even if she put in 200% effort, the hope of winning was very slim.

Anyway, she didn't care much. If she couldn't make it, she would just change careers to be an agent and help Mr. Xu manage artists.

Murong Xue, who was sitting beside her, pursed her lips slightly and turned to look out the window again.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had indeed been in a state of high tension recently.

Originally, if she hadn't been nominated, perhaps she could maintain a normal heart.

But now that she was nominated, if she didn't win, would Brother Xu be disappointed in her? Would her fans be disappointed?

Maybe this is the closest time she has been affirmed. If she didn't grasp it, would there be no chance in the future?

Murong Xue was pulled by this complex emotion, and there was a string tightly stretched in her brain, which would break if she was not careful.

"Alright, cheer up, don't have psychological burdens." Nie Jingjing rummaged through her bag and handed over a pack of soft candies. "Eating sweets can relieve nervous emotions. It's rare for me to have the patience to comfort people, don't go on and on..."

Murong Xue's voice was dry: "... Thank you."

She opened the candy Nie Jingjing gave her, took a piece and held it in her mouth, then lowered her head and looked at her phone.
