Chapter 226: Three awards for the first experience
As time goes by, awards in various major categories have been awarded one after another.
The male idol group Seventeen won the Best Dance Performance Male Group Award for their work "Don't Wanna Cry".
Shine member Lee Taemin won the Best Solo Dance Performance Award for his work "Move".
The Best Men's Group Award and the Best Women's Group Award were won by wanna one and red velvet respectively.
Immediately afterwards, Twice also won the Best Dance Performance Female Group Award for their work "Signal".
Tonight iu made her first appearance on stage to receive the award for Best Female Singer.
Under the lens
iu held the hem of her skirt and slowly stepped onto the stairs.
The design made of diamond-encrusted translucent lace fabric and a one-shoulder tube top-style mid-sleeve white gauze dress looks sexy yet beautiful, and it perfectly sets off IU's fairy-like atmosphere.
Her hair is naturally shawl-shaped, she smiles and blinks with big, lively eyes, her makeup is exquisite and her charming red lips make her smile gracefully and appropriately yet appropriately sexy.
The acceptance speech was not long, and there were no words of thanks to Li Chenghao as the audience expected.
After returning to the stage with the trophy, I passed by the singer area and the guest area and received congratulations from everyone again.
8:50 p.m.
Guest area
The on-site director bent down and ran to Li Chenghao and IU and whispered: "You two, please go backstage with me to prepare for the upcoming award ceremony."
After standing up and buttoning up his suit, Li Chenghao stood next to iu and extended his right hand.
iu gently placed her left hand on the palm of Li Chenghao's right hand and slowly stood up, followed the director and walked from the guest area to the back of the stage.
Fans in the audience noticed this and speculated what the two were going to do. They probably wouldn't leave early before the award ceremony was over.
The singers and actors were also guessing, just watching them following the director roughly guessing what special stage should be prepared.
8:55
mc pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the highest point.
"Everyone, next is the most exciting moment of the Mama Awards Ceremony xg station. The awards for Best Singer of the Year, Best Album of the Year and Best Song of the Year will be awarded soon."
"Let us give the warmest applause to the presenters of the last three awards tonight, CJ Entertainment TVN Broadcasting Bureau President Lee Seong-ho Nim and national sister Iuxi."
The audience suddenly realized that Li Chenghao and Iu had followed the director to the back of the stage to prepare for the final award.
The artists were a little surprised. Iu was one of the few senior singers to attend tonight's award ceremony. She deserved the Best Female Singer award, but the most important thing about her attending the award ceremony tonight was actually being the guest to present the three major awards.
Awards.
But it was much easier to accept the thought of being together with Li Chenghao. After all, they were lovers who had made their relationship public.
From the aisle on the right side of the stage, iu took Li Chenghao's arm and walked out slowly.
Li Chenghao smiled and held the envelope and waved hello to the audience.
in front of microphone
Li Chenghao raised his hand and patted the microphone gently: "Hello everyone, I am Li Chenghao."
"ah!"
iu followed closely: "Hello everyone, I am Li Zhien"
The two men simply introduced themselves and screamed. The reason is very simple. They both spoke in Cantonese.
Li Chenghao has participated in many music award ceremonies. He naturally turned to look at IU and said: "Congratulations again to you for winning the Best Female Singer Award."
iu racked his brains to think of a response: "Thank you, but I'm very nervous now"
"Why are you nervous?"
"The people sitting in the audience are all singers and actors who are better than me, including my seniors. I never thought that one day I would stand in the position of award guest to present such an important award."
Li Chenghao smiled softly: "Just get used to it."
Again, it’s just a habit. Iu, if you get used to it, will you be able to appear as the most important award-giving guest at large award ceremonies in the future?
"Who do you think will win these awards tonight?"
iu echoed: "There were so many excellent singers and works emerging last year. I personally guess bts?"
"ah"
"exo?"
"ah"
"twice?"
"ah"
Every time a group's name was spoken, a burst of crazy screams erupted from the scene.
The idol group whose name was called by iu also stood up in the next second and bowed down to salute iu on the stage.
These are all IU's juniors in the music industry, and among them, IU's favorite is of course Twice.
"Actually, I'm also looking forward to whose name will be in the envelope, so let's start awarding awards now."
As the background music filled up, Li Chenghao slowly opened the first envelope: "The first thing I want to present is the Best Singer of the Year Award."
After opening the envelope, Li Chenghao motioned to iu to come, but iu waved his hand for Li Chenghao to come.
Shrugging, Li Chenghao leaned in front of the microphone: "Okay, I will present the first award, the 2017 MAMA Best Singer of the Year Award, and the winner is..."
Offstage
The audience shouted the names of their favorite singers loudly. Although the voices were mixed, most of them were focused on the voices of BTS and EXO.
Li Chenghao saw the name of the winner and faced the camera: "bts"
The camera immediately switched to the BTS members in the singer area. Everyone stood up from their positions with excited expressions, hugged each other with the other singers around them, and then walked onto the stage under the leadership of the captain.
Li Chenghao handed over the trophy and iu sent flowers.
All BTS members stood in front of the microphone and gave their acceptance speeches before walking off the stage amidst cheers.
“Next up is the award for Song of the Year.”
Li Chenghao handed the envelope to iu's hand, and while opening it, iu said: "Ah, why am I so nervous?"
The audience in the audience burst into applause to encourage iu.
"2017 Mama Best Song of the Year Award, the winner is..."
Dugong Dugong
The background music once again heightens the tension.
iu's hand holding the envelope trembled slightly.
After seeing the name of the winner, iu smiled and focused his attention on a certain location in the singer area.
The idol groups and solo singers in the singer area also focused their attention on IU. Most of them knew that this award had nothing to do with them. A few popular singers and idol groups failed to manage their expressions and showed nervous anticipation.
"twice, congratulations"
Upon hearing their names, all members of Twice stood up slowly in disbelief. The members exchanged glances and then hugged each other happily.
Leader Park Jihyo greeted the members and walked onto the stage.
After receiving the trophy and flowers, the members hugged IU one after another. Nayeon kept her eyes on IU throughout the whole process, and said excitedly during the hug: "Unnie is so beautiful today, I actually took it from Unnie's hand."
I’m so happy to receive the trophy.”
A proper fan girl, IU held Nayeon's hand: "I'm also very happy that it's you who won the award, go to the team."
After twice gave his acceptance speech, the last award tonight will be announced soon.
This time, Li Chenghao and IU jointly completed the award ceremony. Amidst the roars of the audience, the two shouted the name of the group "exo" together.
With the work "the war", exo successfully won the best album of the year award.
In China, exo's popularity is unique. The difference was obvious from the moment they won the award. The whole audience chanted the name "exo" in unison.
The audience seemed to be waiting for them to win the final grand prize all night, and the members walked on the stage very confidently.
The acceptance speech was also well prepared, written in Chinese, H and English respectively, expressing the support of fans from various countries and regions around the world.
After the awards ceremony was over, iu returned to the back of the stage and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Without returning to the guest area, Li Chenghao and IU returned directly to the lounge.
After the awards ceremony, they will go to the W Hotel with some artists to attend tonight's special dinner.
