All-rounder Artist

Chapter 918: Chapter 856 All-rounder

“The music awards ceremony will be held this year on the twenty-fifth of December. The Literature and Art Association doesn’t want to postpone it to next year. Mr. Lin has already received the invitation letter, and the nomination list for various awards will be announced at eleven this morning…”

Starlight Entertainment.

Lin Yuan’s office.

Gu Dong was providing updates.

Lin Yuan nodded, feeling quite excited inside.

He had achieved twelve consecutive season championships this year, and the music awards ceremony was essentially an annual summary of the music industry. Most of the nominees for the major categories would undoubtedly include him.

The specific results would depend on the tastes of the awards committee.

*The waters here ran deep.*

It was similar to how movie awards couldn’t rely on box office rankings alone to decide winners.

The nominations for various categories at the music awards ceremony involved considerations far beyond seasonal chart rankings.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the ceremony at all.

Everyone could just match themselves to the seasonal charts and call it a day.

As Lin Yuan received the invitation, the music industry—and even outsiders—began to turn their attention to him!

The music awards ceremony was the most influential music event on Blue Star!

It carried the dreams of countless musicians!

At that moment.

The entire music world’s eyes were locked on the official account of the music awards ceremony!

…

Midday.

Eleven o’clock.

In a certain entertainment media office.

The editor-in-chief sat in front of a computer, constantly refreshing the webpage, waiting for the announcement of the nomination list for the music awards ceremony.

Editors were chatting away below.

“Who do you think will make the list this year?”

“Xian Yu will undoubtedly have a bunch of nominations.”

“Lu Sheng’s song might also get in.”

“That means Matsushima Rain and Ito Makoto could also have a chance.”

“Even though they lost the seasonal chart rankings, the music awards aren’t only about those rankings. After all, seasonal charts don’t represent everything.”

“I’ve already got my article prepared.”

The magazine had to grab the news as fast as possible. Whoever wrote the article quicker would be the first to gain traffic.

Just then.

The editor-in-chief’s voice sounded a bit tense. “It’s out!”

Everyone’s expressions immediately turned serious, and all eyes focused on the computer screen!

…

Nominations for Best Lyrics at the Music Awards Ceremony:

Ni Hongwu “Lost Paradise,” Zou Jiaming “Fight for a Better Tomorrow,” Yao Wang “Not Worthy,” Xian Yu “Blue and White Porcelain”

…

Nominations for Best Pop Composition at the Music Awards Ceremony:

Mike “Snow,” Wu Long “Wound,” Xian Yu “Blue and White Porcelain,” Xian Yu “Nocturne”

…

Nominations for Most Popular Male Singer at the Music Awards Ceremony:

Sun Yaohuo “Blue and White Porcelain,” Lu Tong “Hollow,” Shen Mao “Eyeing the Southeast Wind,” Xian Yu “Nocturne”

…

Nominations for Best Arrangement at the Music Awards Ceremony:

Xian Yu “The Seventh Chapter of Night,” Cang Ming “Turns and Straights,” Niu Baoli “The Universe,” Tunan “Fog”

…

After seeing only a few nominations, the editors were already stunned.

Xian Yu, Xian Yu, Xian Yu!

The frequency of this name’s appearance was insane. Was this the power of a twelve-time champion?

“There’s more!”

With an editor’s exclamation, everyone kept reading—and sure enough, they saw another heap of Xian Yu’s nominations!

“One, two, three, four, five, six…”

Their counting grew more and more unnerving. By the end, everyone was utterly dumbfounded!

“Eleven, twelve, thirteen…”

Xian Yu was shockingly nominated in thirteen categories!

*What the hell!*

This was a music awards ceremony involving all five continents!

Among so many top musicians, how could one person manage to break into nominations for thirteen awards? Was this even humanly possible?

*Why?*

*Because of twelve consecutive championships?*

Even with twelve championships, it should have been impossible to achieve thirteen nominations under normal circumstances!

The editors were debating furiously!

The editor-in-chief stared intently at the screen, analyzing each major award one by one, then suddenly slapped their thigh hard:

“I get it!”

“Get what?”

“The Literature and Art Association wants to promote Xian Yu?”

“No, look carefully at the nominated awards!”

“Do you see it? ‘Sugar’ isn’t even related to composition yet got nominated for Best Music Video. Does that have anything to do with composing?”

“And ‘Blue and White Porcelain’ is nominated for Best Lyrics.”

“Normally, the lyricist, composer, and performer for a single song would all be different people. But Xian Yu? He’s a rare case—since he writes his own lyrics, composes his own music, and sometimes even performs his songs. That’s why he ends up taking all the awards himself!”

“And because he sometimes sings as well, he’s nominated for Most Popular Male Singer.”

“For Best Arrangement, he’s in once again—but the nominated track is ‘The Seventh Chapter of Night.’ Not every Maestro is skilled in arrangement, but Xian Yu happens to excel at it. Really excel at it!”

The editor-in-chief had a sharp eye.

With this explanation, everyone gradually came to their senses!

*Damn it!*

*It’s true!*

Why did it seem almost unnatural that Xian Yu got nominated for so many categories?

Because the awards he was nominated for weren’t exclusively tied to being a “Maestro”!

Lyrics…

Arrangement…

Singing…

Even music video awards…

*What kind of awards are these for a Maestro?*

Clearly, these awards were meant for lyricists, arrangers, vocalists, and other types of musicians!

And that was the problem!

Xian Yu was indeed a Maestro, but he was also incredibly versatile—exceling in lyrics, composing, arrangement, and even singing!

Look at the pattern—it wasn’t hard to figure out.

Could the music awards not nominate “Blue and White Porcelain” for Best Lyrics?

Could the music awards not nominate “The Seventh Chapter of Night” for Best Arrangement?

Whether or not the nominee was Xian Yu didn’t matter—the key was that these works met the highest standard!

Some unique circumstances also made a difference.

For example, there was the “Best Official Promotion Song” category at the music awards ceremony.

For this, “Qin Continent Welcomes You” was a no-brainer nominee!

Can you argue against it? It was this year’s official track for the Bluelympics!

If they skipped it, wouldn’t that offend the Bluelympics?

Similarly, in the Best Anime Soundtrack category, “Until The End Of The World” easily made the cut.

Without music from “Dunk Master,” the anime soundtrack category this year would feel completely off!

And let’s not forget the ironclad Maestro award nominations.

All of this combined led to Xian Yu making history as the first individual ever to secure thirteen nominations at the music awards ceremony!

Yes.

Historic!

While the music awards ceremony featured a large number of categories, no one in history had ever been nominated for thirteen awards at the same time!

This caused an enormous stir!

The reactions from this magazine were merely the tip of the iceberg under the huge waves sweeping the industry.

When the music awards unveiled this year’s nominations, the entire industry was stunned!

“Oh my god, Xian Yu got nominated for thirteen awards all at once?”

“Am I seeing this right?”

“This is the music awards, not some third-rate random prize ceremony!”

“This has never happened before!”

“The previous record holder was a top Maestro from Zhong Continent, who secured eight nominations in one go. Xian Yu crushed that number with thirteen!”

“Even twelve championships don’t justify this level of insanity!”

“It’s mainly because Xian Yu is so out of the ordinary. He may be a Maestro, but he’s also stealing awards meant for singers, lyricists, and arrangers!”

Simultaneously!

On Tribe, blogs, and every other major online platform, netizens exploded in collective shock!

The annual music awards ceremony was a significant event, and anyone with a touch of common sense understood what it meant to be nominated in thirteen categories!

“Holy cow, thirteen awards at the music ceremony! Is this what the world of elites looks like?”

“Twelve consecutive champions pave the way for such terror!”

“I figured Xian Yu, as the twelve-time champion, would be the absolute star of this year’s awards, but I wasn’t expecting him to dominate thirteen categories—even those for singers, lyricists, and arrangers!”

“This guy is a bona fide all-rounder!”

“Respect, Fish Papa is the real multifaceted warrior!”

“Come on, save some awards for others, please!”

“There’s literally no weakness to be found. Other musicians collaborate with others for songwriting, but he handles everything himself—and when he gets impatient, he sings, too. And he sings better than some Kings of Singing!”

People had always discussed Xian Yu’s versatility in music.

But because of his dazzling Maestro title, Lin Yuan’s other achievements were often overshadowed.

Today, however.

The music awards ceremony made everyone across Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han Continent realize just how all-encompassing Xian Yu’s musical talent truly was!

An all-rounder!

A multifaceted warrior!

*This description couldn’t be more accurate!*

PS: For those who don’t get the “multifaceted warrior” reference—it comes from an incident where Japanese media exclaimed with shock that Marlon was a six-sided warrior. It meant that Marlon excelled equally in speed, strength, technique, defense, serves, and experience—the six core skills of table tennis—leaving no weak points and maximizing all stats on the skill chart.
