Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 878 - 628: Golden Melody Awards Ceremony_2

Apart from the two singers, Liang and Mo, surrounding artists like Lin Junjie and Dai Peini also greeted him, saying they liked his songs and hoped to have a chance to chat about music together.

After Princess finished her acceptance speech and came down with the trophy, the presentation of other awards continued on the stage.

The Best Mandarin Male Singer Award was won by Wu Sikai from Taiwan Island, whose representative work was the song "Special Love for Special You" released in 1990, and this year he won the award with his new album "Love's Pianist".

Wang Leehom won the 'Best Album Producer Award' with his album "Incredible," featuring hit songs "You're Not Here," "Love Love Love," etc., selling 80,000 copies in the first week in Taiwan Island, topping the album charts, and 500,000 copies in 9 days in Mainland, both showing good results.

Next, the Best Composer and Best Lyricist Awards were presented.

The Best Composer Award went to two people, Xiao Tairan with "Prodigal" and Chen Xiaojuan/Yezi with "A Bit Hurt".

The Best Lyricist Award was won by Song Yueting/Life's a Struggle with "Life's a Struggle".

"It's okay, there will be other chances."

Princess said, comforting from the side.

Link smiled and shook his head, indicating he didn't mind.

At this moment, Lin Junjie and Dai Peini took turns to perform onstage.

Last year, Lin Junjie released his first fully self-created music album "Music Walker," including 11 songs like "It's Me," "Can Read," "Freeze," etc.

After release, it topped the album sales chart for three consecutive weeks in Taiwan Island, sold over 500,000 copies in Mainland, and finally broke through a million copies in total sales in Huaxia and Southeast Asia regions.

He was also the strongest new Mandarin singer in terms of sales last year, besides Link, and was also nominated for the Best New Singer Award.

Dai Peini is Malaysian, debuted in 1999, her representative work is "What It Would Be Like If We Are Still Together" released in 2001, and her third album "No Pen, No Gain" released last year had good sales, hence she was nominated for the Best Mandarin Female Singer Performance Award.

After the two performances, other awards continued to be presented, including Best Band Award, Best Duet Award, and Best New Singer Award.

The Best Band Award was taken by Mayday with "Time Machine," and the Best Duet Award was won by Ah Bao & Brandy with their "Ah Bao & Brandy First Creation Album".

The Best New Singer Award went to Link with "Wind-blown Waves".

"Link, congratulations! Did you prepare an acceptance speech in advance?"

Princess clapped and laughed.

"No! I don't need that."

"Congratulations, Link!"

Zhang Yadong and other surrounding singers also congratulated him.

Link shook hands with several people, went on stage to receive the award, and gave his acceptance speech.

Firstly, he thanked the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards, expressed his honor in receiving this award here, and appreciated the works of the four new singers who were nominated for the same award, expressing his pleasure to enter the music industry with them and become classmates.

Later, he continued to thank Wheat Field Music, Song Ke, Gao Xiaosong, Zhang Yadong, and other production teams, his manager Zhang Ying, and finally thanked his girlfriend Zhang Zilin.

With a clear voice, logical and humorous speech, and his decent appearance and demeanor, he still received much applause after finishing his acceptance speech.

Clap clap clap!

"Zilin, did you hear that? Link even thanked you."

In the apartment in Kyoto City's Seek Knowledge Park, Yu Na watching the TV broadcast nudged Zhang Zilin beside her and shouted.

"I heard it, but I couldn't help him when he was writing songs or releasing albums."

Zhang Zilin sat cross-legged on the sofa, her cheeks flushed.

"Link's album is full of love songs, maybe he found inspiration in you while creating."

Du Juan said while eating fruit.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Zilin blinked and thought about it, unsure, because the songs in Link's album such as "Because of Love," "Stable Happiness," "Long Time No See," "Love Transfer," etc., all seemed very profound and complex.

Meanwhile, her relationship with Link had been smooth, even mundane; she had taken a liking to Link from the start, and later when Link met her, he actively asked her out, and she did not refuse. Over time, the two became a couple.

After co-living, because Link's personality was very good and he was caring, the two never had any arguments, except in bed, at other times they didn't even blush.

It seems like only "Stable Happiness" in this album resembles the snapshot of their life, the rest do not.

She had asked Link this question, and Link said he found inspiration from books and movies.

Considering that Link was only 18 when they started dating and didn't have a complicated romantic history, she believed what Link said.

"Zilin, Link is even better now, you have to watch out, don't let someone steal him from you."

Yu Na bumped her shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, Link isn't that kind of person."

Zhang Zilin said.

Yu Na shook her head, feeling that Zhang Zilin was somewhat naively sweet, comparing her to those shrewd women in the entertainment circle, she was far too simple, surely no match if they were to vie for Link.

However, Link excelled in sports and music, and is now one of the top ten popular singers in the country, reportedly worth tens of millions, even donated one million to his hometown at the end of last year.

If he wanted to break up with Zhang Zilin for another girl, Zhang Zilin wouldn't stand a chance to retain him.

So maybe Zhang Zilin's thought was right, to trust Link, not to worry about those things that hadn't happened yet.

Also, Link publicly thanked his girlfriend Zhang Zilin on the award stage just now, this shows he is serious about this relationship, and not like other idol stars who hide their marriages for decades, pretending to be single to gain fans' affection.

From this aspect, Link is indeed a very good man.

Yu Na glanced at Zhang Zilin, jealously draped her arm around her shoulder, messing up her hair.

"My idol is so handsome! That figure, that temperament, that demeanor, no one in the circle can compare to him."

In the Central Drama College's class of 2002 acting students, Bai Baihe, Tang Yan, Wen Zhang, Tong Yao, and others exclaimed while watching Link giving an award acceptance speech on TV.

"Infatuated! Xie Tingfeng, Wu Yanzu, Liu Dehua, and even I am handsome too, it's just that everyone has a different style, each with their own strengths, you can't say none are as good as Link, that's too biased."

Wen Zhang said, touching his hair.

Bai Baihe glanced at him with the corners of her eyes, "If you were mute, you'd definitely be a heartthrob."

Wen Zhang opened his mouth, then decided to act mute for a moment.

"Link looks very different from those stars in the circle, not only is he good-looking, but there's also an indescribable and captivating aura about him."

Tang Yan said, gazing at Link on the TV.

"I feel the same, he appears very young, but gives off a mature and stable vibe, and feels safe, also his physique is so great, he's so handsome, multi-talented, no matter what type of person, everyone finds something likable about him, which is quite magical."

Shen Jianyi, a classmate, evaluated.

"My idol is everyone's dream."

Bai Baihe laughed.

As they were watching, suddenly the TV switched to CCTV news channel, reporting on the war in Iraq, and the capture of Saddam.

Bai Baihe frowned, glared at Wen Zhang, screamed something like, "Do you want to die?" and with balled fists moved to punch him.

Seeing the mood shift, Wen Zhang grabbed the remote control and ran outside, with the girls shouting and chasing after him.

At the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, after Link received the Best Newcomer Award, other music awards continued to be presented, and the whole ceremony lasted for two hours before ending.

The biggest winner of this Golden Melody Award was Jay Chou's "In the Name of the Father", winning multiple awards including the Best Pop Vocal Album Award.

At the end of the awards ceremony, Jay Chou went on stage to perform "In the Name of the Father"

The 15th Golden Melody Awards ended, and the organizers held a banquet at the adjacent Junyue Hotel to entertain all the guests who attended the ceremony.

Link and Princess, Zhang Yadong also lingered at the banquet for a while, chatted with some folks from the circle, and left for the hotel they were staying at after 9 pm, preparing to return to Capital City the next day.
