Beijing, in an old hutong courtyard.
Ding Zhihong, a big-name domestic songwriter, was contemplating which songs to recommend for nomination for this year's Golden Song Award.
As the end of the year approached, the beginning of the new year was always the time for various awards evaluations and recommendations.
The Golden Song Award, the most important music award in Hua Country, was also held at the beginning of the year.
All songs and albums released within the year could apply for the Golden Song Award by the end of the year.
But ordinary applications needed to go through a complex preliminary review.
As a special invitee judge like Ding Zhihong, he had the privilege to recommend some songs every year, bypassing the preliminary review and entering the final selection stage directly.
This could indeed save a lot of trouble, and the songs recommended by special invitee judges would also receive more attention.
