Chapter 621 EXOEXOEXOEXO
"Hello everyone, we have SJ Leeteuk as the MC for the second consecutive year."
"Anihasay, I am girls day yura."
Today's two MCs are Leeteuk and Yura. Leeteuk is an old host. He was also the MC last year. Coincidentally, the co-host is Hyeri, who is also a member of Girls Day.
The two of them are wearing a black suit and a dark blue dress, but they don't match well when they stand together. Jin Yarong's long legs are very eye-catching. She is wearing a pair of super high duckbill high heels, and she is even taller than Liter. A little bit higher.
"Now we have entered the fifth Gaon Chart K-POP AWARDS. As an awards ceremony that only reflects data, it is the most fair and objective awards ceremony in the country."
"Yes, we are the only award ceremony that does not award grand awards. All the awards we award on a monthly and quarterly basis are considered winners of the grand awards. What makes this award ceremony even more exciting are the people behind the scenes. Right-hand assistants, such as part-timers, composers, lyricists, image designers, choreographers and other staff can share the honor of winning the award.”
This is the difference between the Gaon Chart awards. Because the attention and popularity are not as high as the "four major award ceremonies", the organizers have found a new way to set up this form of award. At the same time, this is also the only one among the several major award ceremonies that will give out The behind-the-scenes staff award ceremony is actually quite unique.
"Okay, all the singers and behind-the-scenes staff have already taken their seats in front of the stage." Lee Teuk looked at the artist seats in the audience and began to introduce other guests present: "I have Big Bang in front of me. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" !”
"ah……"
"And XO."
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
"That's B.A.P over there...and Miss A, red velvet, A.O.A., Gfriend, twcie...there are too many people to introduce them one by one..."
Every time Lee Teuk shouts out a name, the fans in the audience will cheer. You can clearly judge by the volume which group has more fans and which group is more popular. The boy group has obviously more fans than the girl group. Among all the groups, Ellie's voice is the most enthusiastic.
"..." Hearing the overwhelming shouts behind them, some people at the table behind EXO couldn't help but slightly curl their lips.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the stage with a business smile. Soon the two MCs finished talking, and the award presenter came on stage and began to hand out the first few awards.
The previous awards were actually a bit like participation awards, but Chi Jingyuan still cheered up and looked at the stage seriously, because the first person to receive the award was red velvet.
With white shoes and black knee socks, Bae Joo Hyun looks pretty good, but her hair style is a bit too close to her scalp.
Chi Jingyuan looked at his father who was endorsing the book and made some comments in his mind. Then he noticed that the young lady seemed a little nervous and kept rubbing the back of his hand while talking.
After red velvet, Baek Yayan and B.A.P. came to the stage to receive the award. Speaking of which, Chi Jingyuan has not seen the boy group B.A.P. for a long time. This boy group had very good results in their debut year in 2012, and fans were crazy about EXO because of their good performance. Conflicts with the company and lawsuits meant that the group was doing very well but was unable to pursue any acting career. Their return in November last year was their first reappearance in front of the audience after nearly two years.
Unfortunately, the response to the comeback was mediocre, and Kpop was updated too quickly.
After awarding several awards, we entered into one of today’s main topics, the audio source awards for the first three months of last year.
"Let's first take a look at the music source list for January 2015..." Following the award presenter's words, the VCR began to play on the big screen in the center of the stage.
"Singer of the Year Music Department, January, fifth place, Jung Yong Hwa's "One Beautiful Day"."
"fourth place……"
The top five candidates of each month will be selected for the music source award, and then the other candidates ranked from lowest to highest will be played through the VCR, leaving the suspense of the final number one for the award presenter to read out.
This award is still very valuable. It purely depends on the comprehensive music performance of the songs in that month, including downloads and listening. There is no subjective judgment. If you win the award, you have good performance.
Unfortunately, the first two months have nothing to do with EXO. The most recent songs they released during that period were "Let It Be" and a game song in 2014. Although "Let It Be" had good music results, it was not as popular. It did not carry over to the second year.
After applauding several times, it was finally March, the month when XO made their first single comeback last year.
"Singer of the Year Award, Music Department, March, fifth place, Gain's "apple"... Fourth place, Xu Ge's "April Snow", third place, Shinhwa's "Sniper", second place, MC Dream's "Love Chowder"..."
The first four candidates were played on the VCR, leaving the final suspense. At this time, some fans from behind started shouting EXO's name, and the presenter of the award did not show any concern, and immediately shouted out: " The top music list in March, EXO’s “Call Me Baby”!
"XO's "Call Me Baby" received about 85 million Gaon indexes in March, and ranked first in downloads, streaming, and comprehensive electronic rankings in March..."
"Call me babyba, call me baby..."
Under the narration of Leeteuk and Kim Ah-young, the nine EXO members who were very close to the stage jumped up and lined up with smiles. At this time, the Aili who were present had already started singing. This was the first chorus of the awards ceremony in the first three months. The sudden singing startled several people including Bae Joo-hyun. The loud voices in the whole venue covered the voices of the two hosts who were reading the narration.
"This treatment is too different from the previous two..." Listening to the restless voices behind, Minato Saki Sana covered her mouth and leaned over to Momo Hirai's ear and complained.
However, Momo Hirai, who liked this song very much, acted as if she didn't hear it. She swayed her body and hummed the tune of "Call Me Baby" with the fans, and her hands were still cosplaying the iconic choreography in it.
At this time, the camera was focused on Big Bang in the artist's seat. Several seniors clapped and gave sincere blessings. GD also gave a thumbs up to the camera.
Chi Jingyuan followed the members onto the stage, stood at the very side, and listened to Kim Junmyeon's fluent speech that had been prepared long ago.
He looked ahead with an empty gaze, and clapped his hands from time to time to indicate that he was listening carefully. Seeing this scene, several girls in the artist's seat who had been following him couldn't help laughing.
Like Mingjing Nan, she now knows that Chi Jingyuan and her habits when participating in activities are very similar. Seeing the other person's lazy appearance, she can always associate herself with herself, and then she can't help but purse her lips and smile knowingly.
She looked at Chi Jingyuan on the stage, listened to the voices of several members next to her who were discussing something, and blinked her eyes gently.
This dark suit is really outstanding on him...
Kim Junmyeon didn't say much about his speech, and soon EXO walked off the stage and returned to his seat just now.
Although there were winners in January and February, the songs that won the first place were not very popular. The Gaon index of the measured data was only about 40 to 50 million, which was almost half lower than "Call Me Baby" in March, and the response on the scene was also average.
After March, tonight's award ceremony became more exciting.
After several groups of artists including Red Velvet performed on stage, and several other awards were presented, it was soon the first place in the music source in the following months.
"Annual Singer Award, Music Source Department, April, MissA, "Only You" Gaon Index 94 million! Coarse Camida."
In April, MissA defeated EXO's "Spring Day" and won the first place, which made Chi Jingyuan sigh in his heart.
"Spring Day" was not popular when it was first released, but after the subsequent word-of-mouth fermentation, it once counterattacked on the charts. The stamina of the music source was jaw-dropping. Not only did it rank at the top of the annual list, but almost a year has passed, and this song is still hovering around the top four rings of the list, and there is no intention of leaving the list at all.
But in terms of April alone, "Only You" is better.
It's a pity for Ji Jingyuan. Last year's album was almost the last time MissA came back. He remembered hearing from Bae Suzy that some members have confirmed that they will not renew their contracts. This girl group that won the grand prize at the debut is about to disband.
"Singer of the Year Award, Music Source Division, May... Fifth place, Shinee "view""
"Fourth place, SanE "meyou""
"Third place, EXO "Orientation Sniper""
"Second place, bigbnag "baebae"
"The last one is... bigbang "loser", Gaon index 130 million, rough and sloppy..."
In May, bigbang won the first place without any suspense, and they raised the Gaon index to a higher level as soon as they made a move.
Almost all the audience at the scene experienced the battle for the top boy group last year. Now in May, everyone knew that the excitement was coming. The VIPs and Aili at the scene kept cheering for their idols, trying to suppress the momentum of the other party.
And the next few awards also proved that the strength and enthusiasm of these two fan groups are not without reason.
"Singer of the Year Award, Music Source Division, June... Second place, bigbang "bangbangbang"... And the last one is, EXO "boy with luv", Gaon index 150 million, rough and sloppy! ~”
“In July… No. 1 is EXO’s “if you”!”
“In August, No. 1 is Bigbang’s “We Don’t Fall in Love”
“Rooftop”!”
“The most influential group in Asia on Yinyue TV, Bigbang~!”
“International Kpop Superstar Award, EXO!”
“Weibo Superstar Award, EXO.Yuan…”
As the voices of Aili and V.I.P. continued to alternate, EXO and Bigbang began a duet, you go down and I go up, I go down and I go up, and then you go down and you go up.
If there were not a few stages in the middle to serve as a diversion, many TV viewers would think that this evening's award ceremony was just for these two groups...
The audience and the idols in the artist seats watched EXO and Big Bang go up and down during this period. The smiles on their faces were a little stiff, and they just clapped their hands habitually after hearing their names.
Moreover, these two groups are of high seniority. Every time they receive an award, many new groups next to them have to stand up and salute. For example, Twice has not sat down during this period.
"Oh, so..."
Lin Nayeon, who has no idea how many times she has stood up, just bowed to Chi Jingyuan who went up to receive the award. After sitting down, she felt that her waist was not very comfortable. She rubbed it twice with her mouth puffed, and looked at Chi Jingyuan on the stage who didn't know what to say because he received too many awards, and pouted her lips slightly.
Fortunately, the first half of the award ceremony is about to end, and they can take a short break, and don't have to become the background board and clappers of the annoying ground light.
But her seemingly dissatisfied eyes were filled with obvious hope and envy.
Although there was no grand prize, this kind of continuous going up to the stage to receive awards under the gaze of everyone became the focus of countless people.
It was really handsome...
And Chi Jingyuan had no time to care about the looks of the girls below, because he was really embarrassed now.
The previous big group received awards a lot of times, and this award was received by him alone. He didn't know what to say at this time.
After hesitating for a second, he could only show a nice smile, change the sentence structure and arrangement of what he had just said, and said it again. The speed of speech was very fast as if someone was urging him. After finishing speaking, he quickly saluted and walked down quickly amid the cheers of fans.
After sitting down again, he then handed the trophy to Wu Sehun who wanted to play with it next to him. Suddenly, he felt a few eyes coming from behind his head as if someone was looking at him. He looked back casually and found that several people from Twice and Gfriend at the two tables behind were looking at this side.
But some people deliberately lowered their heads and stared at the table, as if studying the pattern and workmanship of the tablecloth.
Chi Jingyuan looked at Ming Jingnan, blinked, and turned around, tilting his head to look at the last performance of the first half.
After a short intermission, the second half of the party began. After the stage of Seventeen ended, the October sound source awards began to be presented.
"Annual Singer Award, Sound Source Department, October... Second place, IU "23"."
"Who is the winner of the October Sound Source Chart? Let me see, I have awarded her an award before... Taeyeon, congratulations!"
"Taeyeonxi's "I" received 99 million Gaon points and became the first in the October sound source department..."
Kim Taeyeon ended the two-person show of EXO and Bigbang.
It seems that the names of the two boy bands just now have made many viewers aesthetically fatigued. At this time, they finally heard different names. Many fans of other families cheered immediately while breathing a sigh of relief.
Kim Taeyeon, wearing a black dress, stood up from her seat. Facing the Red Velvet sisters who were cheering for her with their arms and legs bared, she smiled a little embarrassedly. She glanced at Chi Jingyuan, blew a kiss to the camera, and walked up the stairs to the stage in high heels.
"Aniha Saiyo, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon Yimida..."
Kim Taeyeon, holding the trophy and flowers, began to speak about her acceptance speech. Although she had already performed solo and was accepting the award as an individual, she would definitely bring the prefix "Girls' Generation" when introducing herself.
Chi Jingyuan looked at this sister on the stage and applauded.
She really has a team spirit. I don't know if some people can learn from it.
And after Kim Taeyeon's solo, whenever she receives an award related to the album "I", she will definitely mention the producer Chi Jingyuan in her acceptance speech.
"...Thank you very much for receiving this award. Thank you to the managers who worked hard during the "I" period, the musicians of Sungju who worked hard for the music, the SM staff who shared a lot of opinions with me... and Jingyuan who wrote "I" and helped me produce the entire album, who worked very hard..."
"Ahhh..."
Both Aili and Sone of Girls' Generation screamed at this time. The two fan groups that didn't get along well and cursed each other because of the scandal last year were unusually harmonious at this time.
Sone was cheering for Taeyeon's excellent solo because her idol received the award, while Aili felt that this aunt was quite tactful and knew who to thank the most, and the mention of her own oppa's name also made them feel proud.
The director also cut the camera to Chi Jingyuan's face. He was leaning on the back of the chair and looking at the stage. He gave a thumbs up generously, with a bright and dazzling smile.
At this time, Yu Jeongyeon at the next table suddenly remembered something and nudged Lin Nayeon with her elbow and whispered in her ear, "If we win an award for "Cheer Up", should we also thank Producer Ji?"
“…” Lin Nayeon’s smile fell a little when she heard it, and then she quickly managed her expression again. While watching the applause and smiling on the stage, she remained calm and uttered two words with some effort:
“No!”
…
Kim Taeyeon won the first place in November and December respectively by Zico’s “Boys and Girls” and PSY’s “Daddy”. It is worthy of being an official award ceremony. PSY, who rarely attends the four major award ceremonies, showed up in person to receive the award and took away his trophy.
The sound source awards were presented. After Kim Taeyeon and Zico’s performances, it was finally time to present the album awards.
Many viewers and idols who had already been disgusted with EXO and Big Bang’s duo performances did not realize that the most extreme scene of this year’s Gaon Chart K-POP AWARDS was about to appear.
“Annual Singer Award, First Quarter Album Department, Fifth Place, Jonghyun’s “The 1st Mini Album (base)”
“…”
“Second Place, EXO, “E” Chinese Version. ”
“In the first quarter, the winner of the album department award is…XO, “E” Korean version, Chou Ka Mida!”
Amid the cheers, EXO, who had just received the Popularity Award, came on stage again. Kim Junmyeon was really speechless, and the microphone was handed to Bian Baekhyun.
Bian Baekhyun said a few words quickly and then stepped down again, and then continued to present the second quarter album awards.
As soon as the second quarter candidate VCR came out, it immediately caused the audience to exclaim and cheer.
“Annual Singer Award, Second Quarter Album Department,
“Fifth place, EXO, “X” Korean version.”
“Fourth place, EXO, “O” Chinese version.”
“Ah…”
“Third place, EXO, “O” Korean version.”
“Ah…”
“Second place, EXO, “L” Chinese version.”
“Ah…”
“First place, EXO, “L” Korean version.”
“…”
