Chapter 58 New Year's Holiday (1/2)
Amid the applause of the audience, Ye Zhao slowly walked onto the stage, took over his trophy, and after he made a normal speech on the award, he walked off the stage and returned to his seat. Although he had a decent smile on his face, one capital question mark after another flashed in his heart. Is this BRUNING lifting his hostility to him, or is there any other reason?
This year's annual award was finally won by Mr. Child for the famous song "Innocent World".
The evaluation criteria for the annual grand prize come from the sales of the singles, the votes of the audience and 22 judges, and only after consideration can we decide after multiple considerations. This is also the reason why Makoto Kondo's Record Awards has a shady scene - the single he won the grand prize sold only 180,000, and it is almost difficult to even be qualified to be shortlisted.
In terms of sales, the single "innocent world" ranked first in the annual list in 1994 with 1.8 million copies. In terms of musicality, there is no need to elaborate on the greatness of this song, but there is no doubt that it is precisely because of the appearance of this song that Sakurai Kazuo led his band to the unparalleled mode and fought all over the music industry. The world view shaped by Sakurai Kazuo in the lyrics has influenced countless later generations.
The only thing that was a little embarrassed was that Mr. Child did not attend tonight's record award at all. The last person to come on stage to receive the award was Koichi Inaba, the representative of the record company.
The award ceremony came to an end, and the TBS broadcasting center came out. He sat in the back seat of the car. Ye Zhao put the trophy aside and yawned, "I'm so bored."
Uemura Yuki joked, "Ye Zhaosang, if you hear this by someone who has not won the award, you must despise you." No matter how precious the award is, being able to appear on the stage of award-winning albums is itself a kind of recognition.
"If you win the prize, you're really bored." Ye Zhao stretched, "Just put me at Sanxuan Tea House Station. For the New Year, you can go home as soon as possible."
"Will Ye Zhaosang go back to his hometown?" asked Umura Yuki.
"It's too late today. I'll go back tomorrow. I've already agreed with my family."
Since this was the case, Uemura Yuki didn't say much, and drove the car quietly until he took Ye Zhao to Sanxuan Tea House Station.
A person's New Year's Eve is a boring and lonely thing, especially for Ye Zhao, who has to endure not only the loneliness of being alone, but also the reality of saying goodbye to relatives and friends who have completely given him their previous life.
Back at the apartment of Sanxuan Tea House, turn on the TV. At the NHK's Red and White Song Festival, X-JAPAN is performing "Rusty Nail". The lead singer TOSHI is wearing white clothes and black sunglasses, and is unscrupulous in his unique high notes. Even at the Red and White Song Festival, drummer YOSHIKI still plays shirtlessly, playing drums while doing his signature head-shaking movements. This year is the peak period of X-JAPAN. The always indifferent red and white audiences are also ignited by the performance of this legendary band and are working hard to support them off the stage.
After X-JAPAN left the stage, the Red Group sent Kudo Shizuka. This year, the relationship between YOSHIKI and Kudo Shizuka was exposed. NHK was also quite good at taking advantage of the popularity and arranged the couple to fight at the Red and White Song Festival that year. Kudo Shizuka, who was also in white and white dress, sang a song "Blue Rose" enthusiastically against the backdrop of four black dancers.
Even from the current perspective, Kudo Shizuka's makeup and dressing at this time did not have the slightest taste, and her eyebrows and eyes were even more beautiful and handsome. With her outstanding personal talent, it is not difficult to understand why after the disbandment of the Kitten Club, she jumped to the top, becoming a super idol with a total sales of nearly 15 million.
In addition to his career, Kudo Shizuka has successively captured the hearts of two superstars, YOSHIKI and Takuya Kimura, and has become the target of envy, jealousy and hated by all RB women.
After Kudo Shizuka left the stage, there was another round of singing performances. After that, Kenichi Mikawa and Yukiko Kobayashi appeared one after another, continuing their clothes duel. The gorgeous clothes of these two singers at the Red and White Songs Club have always been the highlights that the audience talked about.
The final winner of this year's Red and White Song Festival was the Red Group. After the on-site vote count was completed, Kazuo Nakamura, the General Director of the NHK Radio, handed the banner with the victory to the Red Group Association, Emiko Uenuma. When the singers in the audience sang "The Light of Firefly" in the Spring Festival Gala under the guidance of conductor Yasu Miyagawa, Ye Zhao raised his hand and turned off the TV.
...
The next morning, Ye Zhao took the JR train to Yokohama alone with a sports bag for changing clothes and a trolley case filled with local products purchased from the tour with his left hand.
On December 29, Ye Zhao received a call from his sister Ye Qing asking him to go home for the New Year.
"I will participate in the live broadcast of the Record Awards on the evening of the 31st. It will be very late when the end is over, and I am afraid I will not be able to go back." Ye Zhao explained.
"Then come back on January 1st!" Ye Qing set a schedule for Ye Zhao without saying anything, "I said, brother, you are still angry with your parents, so you are so embarrassed, right?"
"You are just shy!" Ye Zhao said disgusted, "Don't worry, I will definitely go back one morning." After the scandal, the reporter found out that Ye Zhao's hometown address and the school where his parents taught, and chased them one after another. In this case, Ye Zhao's parents and sister firmly chose to stand on his side and angrily scolded the false report brought by Mika Ogawa. Ye Qing also went to Tokyo for this purpose and sent the Imakawa yaki made by her mother You Xiangrong.
Ye Qing on the phone received a positive answer and said in a good mood: "Then it's settled, one morning! If my brother doesn't come back, I'll go to Tokyo to settle the score with you!"
Ye Zhao's hometown is located in Wakaba Town, SZ District, Yokohama. It is an ordinary Japanese-style two-story one-household building. It seems to be built when Ye Linyou Xiangrong and his wife were newly married. The house does not cover much land area, and both the courtyard and the house have a small and exquisite feeling.
When he was expelled from the house, Ye Zhao, the former, mailed the keys from the house out of stubbornness, which led to the fact that although Ye Zhao was returning to his own home, he had to ring the doorbell to report.
After waiting for about a minute or two, accompanied by the long-toned "Here's coming" and the sound of trotting thrust from far to near through the door. With a "huh", the door was opened with force, and the petite Ye Qing leaned out.
"Have you got up yet?" Ye Zhao pointed at Ye Qing's messy long hair and pink bear pajamas.
Ye Qing yawned and took the trolley case from Ye Zhao's hand, "There's no way, I slept too late yesterday."
After entering the house and changing shoes in the entrance hall, Ye Zhaozhao asked casually: "Where is your parents?"
"I probably went out, otherwise there would be no need for me, who is still in bed, to come out and open the door." Ye Qing found the slippers for Ye Zhao from the shoe cabinet.
"Thank you." After changing into slippers, Ye Zhao carried his sports bag and followed his body's memory to the second floor, preparing to take the things to his room.
"Brother, there's still a box?"
"No need, the contents are all local products brought back from the North Promotion this time. Open it and see if you like it."
Ye Qing cheered and walked into the living room with a box.
