"The awards ceremony has begun."
The host slowly walked onto the stage, and after a brief speech, began to announce the awards.
Unlike the Golden Voice Award and the Golden Language Award, the Golden Song Award has a large number of categories, so the time is very tight.
The first awards were some smaller ones, and singers came up on stage one after another to receive them.
Not all singers who receive awards are professionally trained; for example, Ma Miaoqing previously received a minor award.
"These awards sound prestigious, but once they're given out, they instantly feel like they're all show and no substance."
"The Golden Song Awards is the most comprehensive award in China, and it will definitely consider other singers."
"If they were all prestigious awards like the Golden Voice Award and the Golden Language Award, what chance would these little singers have?"
"That's right. The Golden Song Awards were established to encourage newcomers, which is why so many awards were created."
"..."
Unlike the audience, the singers at the scene watched the awards ceremony very attentively.
Soon, more than a dozen awards were announced, and everyone's expectations grew higher and higher.
The comments section was flooded with messages.
"If I remember correctly, the next award is for Best Newcomer of the Year."
"I'm guessing the man is Kun Kun, and the woman is Deng Yunxi."
The Best Newcomer Award is divided into Best Newcomer for Men and Best Newcomer for Women, and most people guessed that Cai Kun would win the Best Newcomer Award.
As they had predicted, Cai Kun won the Best Newcomer Award, as announced by the host.
Amidst cheers from the live chat, Cai Kun walked onto the podium under the spotlight, brimming with confidence and triumph.
"Ahhh... Kun Kun, you'll always be the best."
Fans were so eager to be there to support Cai Kun that they felt like they were actually there, rolling around on the bed to express their joy.
Just like Cai Kun, the female newcomer, Deng Yunxi, is a singer with a unique voice who became famous for her cover of "Bubble".
He rose to fame quickly and remained popular, sweeping across the market with his overwhelming presence and establishing himself as a top-tier singer.
After the newcomer award was presented, the other awards were given out, and the winners were all singers who were very popular at the time.
Soon, the awards ceremony moved on to the Best Band award, which served as a prelude to the grand finale.
Since this is the fourth to last award, its significance is self-evident.
"The bands nominated for Best Band are: Tenfeng Legend, Straw Hat Band, Yuquan Band, Flying Wheel Band, and... Exo Band!"
When the host announced the nominated bands, the entire audience fell silent.
On the live chat, people were introducing various bands.
"Tianfeng Legend is a folk song band, known as the originator of square dancing."
"Straw Hat Band is a rock band, Jade Spring Band is a two-male band, and Flying Wheel Band is a multi-male band."
"As for this Xo band, I don't think I've ever heard of them before."
"I'm so ignorant. This is a band that came back from abroad. They're a legendary band on campus and are very popular with girls."
"I heard that this band has a lot of handsome guys, and they are all very good-looking."
"What the heck, they named it after a foreign band? Did they come back from abroad? Could they be a foreign band?"
"They're not exactly a foreign band; the singers are all from China and are now developing their careers back in the country."
"What's the situation with the organizers? What does this award have to do with them?"
"Watch your mouth, you guys upstairs. They're Chinese too, you know."
No one expected that an argument would break out in the comments section because of the band Xo.
Some people are unhappy with the Golden Song Award nomination for the band X.O.
But some people don't care. They're all Chinese, just with foreign names. What's wrong with nominating someone?
The heated debate between the two sides did not affect the awarding of the prize.
"The winner of the Best Band award is... the XO Band!"
Finally, the Best Band award was announced by the host, and went to the X'O Band.
As applause erupted from the audience, the live chat exploded with comments.
"What? The winner isn't Tianfeng Legend!"
"Are you kidding me? Straw Hat fans are not having it."
"Which of these four bands is inferior to the X-Band? How could they give the award to them?"
Even Liu Wei and the others who had been watching were quite surprised.
The four of them were just discussing who would win the Best Band award.
Of the four, three voted for Tianfeng Legend.
Tianfeng Legend is a veteran band that has been popular for a long time, even though they have always sung folk songs.
Their songs, in particular, have always been revered by square dancers and are a dominant force across the country.
This year, I participated in a variety show and sang a rearranged song, and unexpectedly, I became popular again.
Compared to the other three bands, they completely overwhelmed each other in terms of both influence and popularity.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected force emerged, and the award was snatched away by the XO band.
This result was clearly somewhat unexpected.
"This band was just formed this year. It consists of a group of trainees who trained in South Korea. They became popular all over the internet as soon as they were formed."
In the group of four, Manager Zhou gave a brief introduction to the band.
Because he works at a music company, he knows more than Liu Wei and others.
After listening to Manager Zhou's explanation, Liu Wei and the others all expressed their confusion.
Even so, it cannot shake the status of the Heavenly Phoenix Legend.
"These days, awards aren't based on merit; they're based on money."
"Korean celebrities, they change their identities and come to China to make money, do they really think we don't know?"
Despite their anger, the three of them only vented their frustrations within the group chat.
While other people receive their awards in one or two-person sessions, the XO band received theirs in a group of more than ten people.
Manager Zhou is right about one thing: these people are all very good-looking.
The girls in the live chat became hysterical when they saw these people.
"So handsome!"
"I want to have their babies."
"Only children make choices; I want them all."
"Waaah, my mouth is watering."
Fortunately, the host didn't make them give their acceptance speeches one by one, otherwise it would have taken who knows how long.
The speaker was Park Yeon, who briefly said a few words in broken Chinese.
Then he led the group of members down from the podium.
"Best Mandarin Male Singer Award and Best Mandarin Female Singer of the Year Award."
The comments section was constantly refreshing, with many netizens typing the names of their favorite singers in the comments.
"May the koi fish protect you and bless you with an award."
"Even the luck of the koi fish won't help; my Kunkun will definitely win the prize."
Mao Yifan: I'm going to take this award. You guys can do whatever you want.
"..."
The stage was completely silent.
The audience held their breath in concentration.
The host smiled as he looked around.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"I hereby announce that the nominees for Best Mandarin Male Singer of the Year are..."
"Wang Junjun, Yi Yunhai, Bai Yuan, Mao Yifan, and Cai Kun!"
