Chapter 95: Winning
ate, and after a while he disappeared.Chi Jingyuan has not yet reached adulthood and does not have a driver's license. Even if he were to go on a date, he would not be able to drive himself.However, h...As expected, Ailee won the ‘Best New Female Artist’ award.
Ji Jingyuan had already figured out it was Ailee because she was the only candidate who showed up. The other candidates didn't come, obviously because they had already been notified beforehand.
When Ailee took the stage, she was also very excited. After exchanging greetings with the two presenters, she stood in front of the microphone and delivered a heartfelt thank you speech.
While Ji Chang-wook and Jung Eun-ji stepped aside, smiling and applauding as they listened to the winner's acceptance speech, they occasionally exchanged glances and subtle expressions like raising an eyebrow.
Below, many fans were holding their phones and taking pictures of the two of them nonstop. I estimate that when it's posted online, it will probably cause another wave of discussion among CP fans.
After the heartfelt words, the two of them went backstage with Ailee. On the way to the backstage passage, they greeted each other and chatted for a few moments.
Ji Jingyuan just greeted simply, Zheng En Di is someone who can chat with anyone and never be awkward, she's really good at socializing. In just a short while, she seems to have gotten closer.
Just as Chi Jingyuan was tidying up and preparing to return to the artiste seating area, the front desk began a new round of award presentations.
This time the awards ceremony had two small livestreaming accidents.
This year's award presenter is Donnie Yen, and the award is 'Best Dance Performance - Individual'.
After Ren Shu took the stage, he didn't waste any time with idle chatter. In just a few seconds, he directly announced the winner.
But the problem was that he announced the winner too quickly, without guiding the playback of all the nominees' VCRs and directly announcing the winner. The VCRs weren't played, and the audience didn't even know who the nominees were.
Of course, it's also possible that the award had no nominees, or that the only nominee was the winner PSY.
And the second little mishap was that Uncle Ren, when he read PSY's name, pronounced each letter separately, saying 'P, S, Y'.
But actually, PSY's name is a whole word, pronounced 'Sa-i', which left PSY himself a bit puzzled. He didn't react for a long time, as if he hadn't realized he was the winner. Later, it was only with the cheers of the audience and reminders from others that he stood up, pointed at himself, confirmed it, and then walked onto the stage to warmly embrace Uncle Ren.
It is noteworthy that when PSY received the award, all the artists in attendance stood up and applauded to show their respect and support for this senior artist's achievements this year.
As PSY finished his acceptance speech and went offstage, Ji-sung also quietly came out from backstage and took a seat in the artist's section. He sat down on EXO's rightmost side, where a special spot had been reserved for him.
After sitting down, Ji-yeong scanned the scene. To his left was Wu Shixun, to his right was Amber from f(x), and in front of him was Hara from Kara.
He clearly felt that as he sat down, several pairs of eyes kept glancing over at him. The few seniors in front, like Kara, even nodded and smiled at him when the camera wasn't rolling.
Soon, Jung Eun Ji also came over and sat next to f(x).
"D.Y. is such a favorite, why are you looking so good today" Wu Shi-hunn sat beside him, watching the stage without changing his expression, clapping along while muttering under his breath.
"Is there any possibility..."
Because there was a camera filming, Ji Jingyuan also, like him, kept his eyes straight ahead: "Not just today, but every day."
"Heh…" Wu Shixun smirked and then asked, "Are you hungry"
Nonsense, what do you think Are you hungry
"I'm starving to death." He patted his stomach and sighed when the camera wasn't on him.
"I'll rest for a bit, the camera crew will remind me when they're ready." Pool Kyungsoo tapped Wu Shixun lightly and then fixed his gaze on the stage. But his pupils seemed unfocused, and he appeared to be drifting away.
The twelve members of EXO sat in the last row of the artist's seats, with a small gap in the middle.
Among them, eleven were wearing white suits. Only Chi Jingyuan was the exception because he was going on stage later and hadn't changed his clothes. He remained in his black suit, which made him stand out quite a bit.
Next, the award ceremony will follow the program schedule: performance - awards - VCR - acceptance speech - performance. Luckily, there were no live broadcast accidents like at the beginning.
Several times, the camera focused on the artist's seats. Every time the camera switched to a close-up shot, Wu Se-hun would subtly elbow empty seat next to him, which is Choi Kyung-won. Choi Kyung-won would immediately switch to a business smile and applaud with both hands, giving the audience what they wanted, causing a wave of screams and applause.
They worked together very well and there were no problems at all. Ji Chang Wook decided that for future award ceremonies like this, he would sit next to Woo Shi Hoon. It was so relaxing and comfortable, it was perfect.
As the ceremony progressed past an hour, staff members approached the audience and reminded them that all EXO members except for Ji-seong got up and followed backstage to prepare for the upcoming stage performance by changing their outfits.
When EXO left, the artist seats were suddenly much emptier. Besides them, several other groups had also gone backstage to prepare or hadn't returned after their performance, leaving almost half the seats empty.
Just as EXO left, the staff members motioned again, asking Ji Chang Wook and Jung Eun Ji to sit together in the front row. Then they asked f(x) to sit next to them in the front row as well. There will be a lot of camera shots focusing on them soon.
After they switched seats, the camera immediately panned over to them. The "Please Answer" CP appeared in the lens, causing a stir. The two also smiled and waved at the camera accordingly.
I waited for so long, and the moment to see EXO's stage performance was finally coming. Finally, it was time for the 'Best OST' award!
Both the male and female award presenters were actors from Xia Guo. This event was mainly to promote their upcoming movie and give out an award as a side activity.
After several candidates' VCRs played, the guests didn't keep it a secret and directly announced into the microphone: "OK, the winner is, Ji Chang Wook, Jung Eun Ji's 'All for You'."
As their voices fell, the chorus of "Allforyou" began to play, and the narrator returned, introducing the award winners.
Pool Kyung-won and Jeong Eun-ji also stood up from the audience seats, the two looked at each other and smiled, clapping their hands. The camera followed suit, following the two as they walked onto the stage.
The CP of "Please Answer" once again stood on the stage, this time as award winners.
All the awards' trophies look basically the same, a dark base connecting to a golden cube. The top features "MAsianMicAwards", the full name of MAMA, in black and gold lettering. The word "Mic" is enlarged in the center of the trophy, making it quite eye-catching.
All in all, MAMA's trophy is pretty nice-looking, at least way better than the glass trophy for first place on a music show stage.
Although Chi Jingyuan hasn't won an award himself, as a clapper he has seen too many others win.
This was another round of self-introductions. Jeong Eunji started by giving a speech, and after thanking everyone again, Ji Kyeongwon also smiled and said a few words: "First of all, I would like to thank everyone for liking the TV drama and supporting the OST. Thank you to ** Entertainment's Lee Soo Man teacher, Kim Young Min president, ……Thank you to everyone who contributed to this OST."
"Congratulations!" The two of them bowed together, and walked off the stage with the trophy as the audience applauded.
As soon as he stepped off the stage and into the area out of camera view, Ji Chang Wook quickly handed the trophy to Jung Eun Ji and, with the speed of a 100-meter sprinter, dashed towards the backstage.
First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkvery happy. She smiled and clapped enthusiastically."Go for it!"……"By the way, Jingyuan, I didn't have time to say it in the evening."On the way back to the dormitory, Park Jae-hyun, who was driving,...
