“Wave goodbye, don’t be reluctant to look back”, accompanied by the song of “Brilliant Adventurer”, the annual Tencent Music Entertainment Festival TMEA came to an end at the Galaxy Macau Arena.

Zhou Shen said, "Thank you to everyone who is still listening to my singing." And we in front of the screen can't help but envy everyone who can listen to the music live.

Zhou Shen's five songs in a row seemed to be a footnote to this year's TMEA ceremony:Warm and brilliant, the "little beauty" that kind of music can bring to you is really valuable!

The TMEA Festival, founded in 2019, has come to its fifth year this year. "Be with Music" is the theme of this year. People who love music will not be alone. The TMEA Festival is more like a two-way rush for musicians and fans, and it is also a unique limited carnival in summer.

A 2-day indoor music festival + a grand music ceremony, it's so lively.

Considering the temperature in Macau, TMEA Music Festival was moved from outdoor to indoor, and the fans were not neglected at all. Rikimaru, Wang Feifei, Zando, BOYNEXTDOOR, ILLIT and others took turns to perform, and the international stage was right at the doorstep, which is unique in the domestic entertainment industry.

The lineup of the ceremony is even stronger. National singers such as Huang Qishan, Zhou Shen, Wang Yuan, Xue Zhiqian, Yuan Yawei, Jane Zhang, Wilber Pan, Hai Lai Amu, Power Train, Chen Li and others are all here. This ticket is really worth it.

There is no red carpet for haute couture shows and musical instruments, but a rolled-up stage for both new and old songs, and no more pork-and-pepper distribution of honors, making this year's TMEA ceremony more lively, more vivid, and more humane.

Red carpet, musical instruments are the protagonists

At major ceremonies, the red carpet is always the focus, and entertainers dress in various styles, as no one wants to lose to others in terms of styling.

The TMEA Festival took a different approach by showcasing musical instruments, sharing playlists, and drawing singers. With just three moves, it focused all attention on the music, making it the protagonist.

Traditional musical instruments such as bone flutes, clay xun, fishing drums, shengs, suonas, and na'e were brought to the red carpet. Artists had to choose one of their favorite instruments to walk the red carpet. In front of these ancient instruments, haute couture also lost some of its luster.

Mika walked on the red carpet holding a traditional musical instrument, a sheng, and a yellow rose. He looked cool in a leather jacket, and his yellow hair was particularly eye-catching. He gave the yellow rose to the media teacher at the scene, which was both considerate and romantic.

Xu Weizhou's styling was subversive, with a white cape and suona, looking chic and elegant, like the prince charming in the fairy tale walked down to earth. He was a walking clothes rack, and it was hard to take your eyes off him on the red carpet.

Zhang Yuqi appeared on the red carpet with a traditional fishing drum and shared her happy playlist "Send Flowing Water". As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they are happy. This year, she returned to the public eye with "Singer 2024" and became more calm and free on the red carpet.

Chen Zhuoxuan appeared in a 3D gilded diamond dress, elegant and majestic, becoming a bright spot on the red carpet, and her dimples were particularly attractive when she smiled. What is really attractive is that she actually has a deep understanding of the musical instrument bone flute, worthy of being a recognized academic representative in the music circle.

Liu Yu also chose the bone flute. He looked like a prince on the run from an ancient castle in a red and black dress, handsome and pleasing to the eye. The design of the dark night cape was ingenious, the porcelain decoration on the neck was dazzling, and the makeup was integrated with the whole person's temperament. Every time he walked on the red carpet, he was refreshing.

Yuan Yawei's fishbone couture dress is the first to be worn in the world. The 12 fishbone patterns echo her birthday and complement the musical instrument in her hand. Recently, she has been working non-stop, with variety shows, concerts, and award ceremonies. Her hard work has paid off, and her popularity, status, and resources have all improved.

Zhou Shen, who was the last to appear on stage, looked so cute as he jumped and played the suona. He kept greeting the audience while walking on the red carpet. As a result, he accidentally dropped his ring and was so scared that he quickly picked it up.

You must fill the hole you dug yourself. Regarding the fact that his ring fell off and became a hot topic, Zhou Shen joked: "I am not as important as the ring. Maybe the ring doesn't like me. I hope everyone will not abandon me like the ring."

Stage, volume is an attitude

At this year's TMEA ceremony, the organizers are "rolling" the lineup, the fans are "rolling" the passion, the singers are "rolling" the stage, and "rolling" has become an attitude.

The entire music festival was like a grand concert, with national-level singers and new-generation Chinese singers battling on the same stage. There were different music styles including rap, Chinese style, electronic music, folk songs, etc., with one surprise after another.

The opening of the ceremony caught you off guard, with two hit songs, "Blue Bird" and "Sakura", by the Biology Chief, opening the show, full of memories. The place was boiling in an instant. This is the kind of emotion and passion that only the original singers can bring.

The new generation of singers coming out of major talent shows have made such incredible progress on stage.

As the dance director of the ceremony, Rikimaru's new song "Can't Get Enough" was full of surprises. He sang and danced with a steady breath, had excellent stage performance, and the performance with its own sense of atmosphere naturally moved the audience.

Chen Zhuoxuan, a new generation female singer, sang "Flowers Along the Way" to cheer for the Olympic athletes. Her voice conveyed hope and dreams to every audience member, and also to herself - this time she finally stood high enough! However, she has always been very low-key and modest. In an interview, she emphasized: There are always higher mountains than the other one, and we have to keep climbing.

Other contestants in the Chuang series also stood high enough. Liu Yu's new song "FUTURISTIC AUTOMATIC" was full of power and beauty, and Mika's first stage performance of "Hand-Planted Roses" was bright and eye-catching.

On the stage, he was full of energy. When he received the honor, Rikimaru was so nervous that he had to lift the table to take the trophy. Everything came from his passion. The idols on the stage were charismatic, and the fans in the audience cheered. We saw two individuals running in both directions, liking and being liked. It was beautiful and noble.

Zhang Yuqi wrote the lyrics and composed the song "Answer" when she was 17 years old. It is still very popular on the stage of the festival. The melody is catchy, the rhythm is comfortable, and the lazy and charming tone is very attractive. Zhang Yuqi, who just had an eye-catching performance in "Singer 2024", is enviable. After many years of debut, she is still 22 years old when she returns. No one can stay young forever, but some people are young.

Who would have thought that Shan Yichun, who has always been known for her love songs, actually became a "singing and dancing singer". In the first performance of her new song "Pure Sister", she easily mastered dolphin sound, rap, opera and other styles, showing her lively and playful side on the stage.

The new generation of singers presented rich and colorful stages, and national-level singers were not to be outdone, allowing the audience to see what true live performance abilities are.

Hailai Amu performed his famous work "Children of the West Tower". His voice was sincere and simple, and his unique singing style had a sense of story and image. Hailai Amu was able to become a dark horse in the "Singer 2024" breakout competition, relying not only on solid singing, but also on the resonance from the public.

Yuan Yawei sang two songs "North Star" and "Twilight of Idol" from her new album "In the Inherent Imbalance". The powerful Diva had a great time today. Her hard work and stage aesthetics are always trustworthy.

Returning after 4 years, singer-songwriter Wang Yuan brought the atmosphere of the ceremony to a climax with a psychedelic song "Living Room Carnival", and the stage was transformed into a large-scale concert.

Jane Zhang became a mermaid on the stage. "If This Is Love" and "Secret Love" triggered a chorus from the audience. "Jiang-style love songs" are still very lethal.

Huang Qishan's "Xiao Xia" was full of emotion. She seemed to be telling an autobiography with music. Every word of the lyrics was a conversation with the fans. Sincerity was the most tear-jerking weapon on the stage.

As an old friend of the TMEA ceremony, Zhou Shen's identity this year is even more special. He will be the finale of both the red carpet and the ceremony. He performed five songs of different styles, including "A Little Happiness", "Alarm", "People Are_", "Leave Me Alone" and "Brilliant Adventurer".

Whether it is a lyrical song or a dynamic dance music, the "all-rounder" Zhou Shen can easily handle it, with affectionate, ethereal and graceful voices, touching the softest part of the listener's heart.

Honor, fiery and exciting

The TMEA Festival is not only a star-studded music feast, but also a stage of honor that attracts global attention.

Hailai Amu and ØZI were named Breakthrough Singers of the Year, while Breakthrough Singer and Dancer of the Year, Breakthrough Potential Singer of the Year, and Breakthrough All-Around Artist of the Year were won by Yao Chen, Zhang Yuqi, and Xu Weizhou respectively. Breakthrough Producer of the Year went to Wang Linkai, Breakthrough Popularity Singer of the Year went to Liu Yu, and Breakthrough Stage Performance Singer of the Year went to Meng Jia.

Huang Qishan won the honor of Breakthrough Singer of the Year. At the age of 56, she is still breaking through the walls of the industry and her own comfort zone, using music to convey warmth and strength. She deserves this honor.

Yuan Yawei won the title of the most influential mainland female singer of the year. She performed countless classic stages with her highly recognizable voice, and received thunderous applause from the audience. The "niche singer" won public recognition at this moment.

From an ignorant boy to a talented musician, Wang Yuan has won numerous music awards. This year's TMEA ceremony, the two music honors of the Most Influential Mainland Male Singer of the Year and the Best Mainland Singer-Songwriter of the Year, are another affirmation of his strength. TFBOYS posted a message to cheer for him, and I believe many fans are destined to have a sleepless night tonight.

Xue Zhiqian won the Best Mainland Male Singer of the Year, and his "Aliens from the Sky" concert won the honor of the annual concert. He treated the stage as a concert, and his skits and jokes came out at will. The grand ceremony could not be without such an atmosphere expert.

Shan Yichun, who debuted only four years ago, has made steady progress in her acting career. It is truly impressive that she has received such an honor. As a singer recognized for her talent, her future is worth looking forward to.

Jane Zhang won the Female Singer of the Year award, an honor without any qualifiers, and the greatest recognition of Jane Zhang's stage performance. Jane Zhang has been speaking for herself on stage and through her works for many years since her debut, and she is undoubtedly the big winner of the ceremony.

Another winner is Zhou Shen. After ten years of debut, his musical talent and personality have been recognized. He has many hit songs and has won many honors. At this year's TMEA ceremony, Zhou Shen reaped a lot of rewards. "The Journey of Bell Buds" won the annual top ten golden songs, and "Flowers Bloom and Forget Worries" won the Tencent Music You Chart-Annual Top Song. He also won important honors such as the Most Influential All-Round Singer of the Year and the Male Singer of the Year.

Zhou Shen was obviously in a good mood. He kept bickering with the media teacher during the interview. He joked that it was the first time he saw such a low microphone. During the interview, the microphone even hit his forehead. The media teacher wanted him to sing live. Although he said "dream", he sang immediately. The whole interview area was filled with wows. The atmosphere of every Zhou Shen group interview is so good.

Wang Heye, who has continuously contributed popular songs in various music variety shows, was awarded the honor of the annual new force recommended singer. Whether as a producer or a singer, Wang Heye has always had a deep understanding of music. He was able to collaborate with so many big-name singers on classic stages. Behind his luck is his hard power.

The TMEA ceremony not only gave young musicians a stage to showcase their talents, but also gave them more honors. Chen Zhuoxuan won the Emerging Power Breakthrough Singer of the Year, Cao Yang won the Emerging Power Singer-Songwriter of the Year, Rikimaru won the Emerging Power Potential Singer of the Year, Hu Mengzhou won the Best Electronic Music Singer of the Year, and Deng Yujun won the Best Chinese Style Singer of the Year.
