Chapter 863 Kang Sang Mi Da~
"..."

Chi Jingyuan of course noticed the death stares from his teammates. Wu Sehun next to him tilted his head and stared at him wildly. The one further away had a calm but murderous look in his eyes. He could sense the emotions in the members' hearts without even thinking.

Being stared at by so many indifferent eyes made him feel awkward and helpless, and indeed a little ashamed. He couldn't help but think, "If I hadn't helped Twice write and produce this song, maybe we would have won all the awards."

But it was just a thought. It was already written, so what could he do now? Lee Soo Man himself looked down on him, so what could he do? And who knew that such an ordinary song could become so popular?

Who would have thought that 'shy shy shy', a song with lyrics as stupid as 'GEE', could be brought to the top of the national hit list with Sana Minatozaki's ridiculous accent?

And this part was not originally sung by Minatozaki Sana, at the beginning it was sung by Park Ji-hyo, but later it was given to her by Ji Kyung-won. This kind of coincidence seems to be destined... There is nothing we can do about it, we can only say that they might be born with good fortune.

It would be even more embarrassing if he looked back at this time, so Chi Jingyuan could only pretend not to see his teammates' gazes. His heart was twitching, but he still maintained a gentle smile and clapped gently, looking like he was sincerely congratulating the younger generation.

...Asi, stop looking at it. If you look at it again, fans will question the team’s spirit!
As if they heard the cry in his heart, or perhaps the other members also realized that looking at him like that was a bit obvious, they all withdrew their gazes after a second, stood up at the same time, turned around, forced smiles, and applauded in congratulations.

And the winners of the grand prize... the nine members of Twice were all stunned at this point. After hearing the name of their group, they all looked in disbelief, with shocked eyes, until the narration and BGM sounded, then they stood up belatedly and began to mechanically applaud and bow to express their gratitude.

Some members still couldn't believe it after they stood up, covering their mouths that couldn't be closed after they opened them. The smiles on their faces were too bold and too wanton, with a bit of caution and caution... They really didn't expect it would be them...

Why are you pretending? You're so pretentious. Get on stage quickly!

Although Chi Jingyuan had a bright smile, when he saw Lin Nayeon behind him covering her mouth, turning away with an expression of disbelief and half crying, he reflexively complained in his heart.

But just as this thought came to his mind, he suddenly remembered that Tu Yaer had just reminded him, which allowed him and EXO to avoid a storm. Then Chi Jingyuan's heart suddenly stagnated, and his previous malicious complaints involuntarily dissipated. He hesitated for a moment, and then turned into a helpless sigh.

Okay, okay, I know you are moved, so hurry up and go up

…Standpoints and impressions have changed, and senses seem to have changed as well.

"Pretty Gemma..."

"cheer up baby~~cheer up baby~~"

With the background music of "Cheer Up", the members of Twice seemed to finally come to their senses. They bowed vigorously to the idols who were congratulating them and then walked towards the stage. Chi Jingyuan stood at the place where they had to pass to the stage, smiling and clapping, watching the nine people wearing stage costumes with black jackets and small capes pass by him one by one.

"()"

After exchanging a tacit glance with Ming Jingnan, Chi Jingyuan looked at Zhou Ziyu who was walking at the end. It was not known whether it was because of the lighting, makeup or hair color, but the little black girl whose skin looked particularly dark today was grinning with joy. After seeing this, Chi Jingyuan was no longer troubled and seemed to have forgotten his recent troubles. He habitually showed his little fangs and grinned at him.

Then she put on a small cape, swung her big round legs and walked onto the stage.

Looking at her agile back, Chi Jingyuan smiled in his heart and sat down again.

"...Why do I feel like you're quite happy?" Wu Sehun next to him glanced at him.

"Because originally this..."

Chi Jingyuan wanted to say, "I couldn't get this award in the first place," but after thinking about it, he didn't finish his words. He controlled his expression and said quietly, "It's a pity actually."

But Wu Sehun didn't believe it at all, and asked sarcastically: "Then which girl group are you going to sing another song for next year? Or Twice?"

"Ha ha……"

Chi Jingyuan was speechless and didn't know how to fight back. In the end, he could only laugh awkwardly and then cleared his throat: "The camera is coming, be careful."

Then he ignored the contemptuous looks from the people around him and looked intently at the stage.

At this time, the nine members of Twice were standing in a row on the stage. The captain Park Ji-hyo was crying while giving her acceptance speech... Seeing how fluent she spoke, it seemed that she had already thought about what she would say if she won the award.

Most of the other people around them were already sobbing and choking. Yu Jeongyeon lowered her head and covered her face, and Lim Nayeon hid behind Son Chaeyoung, hanging her head like a turtle to prevent the camera from capturing her.

Ming Jingnan pursed her lips tightly and wiped away her tears gently. Her tearful eyes were so distressing. Zhou Ziyu, who was playful just now, now pursed her lips and her eyes were full of tears. However, she was still trying hard to make herself laugh. Her short face was wrinkled and looked very funny.

Looking at this group of familiar girls crying with joy and mixed emotions, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

To put it more broadly, he watched Twice debut, from judging "sixteen" to their official debut, and then to the more than a month they spent together producing "cheer up". Unknowingly, so much time had passed, and this group of girls who in his impression were still a little ignorant and childish had actually won the highest honor for idols in the Kpop music industry.

Last year they were just a bunch of green cucumbers, but this year they actually won the grand prize, wow.

This is their first grand prize since their debut... Chi Jingyuan had the same experience. He still remembers the excitement he felt when he won the first grand prize after his debut, so he understands how Ming Jingnan and the others feel at this moment.

In fact, Twice's experience is somewhat similar to EXO's at the time. Both debuted not very smoothly, but then their second album soared to success, and both won grand awards in the second year after their debut.

It’s just that EXO’s debut year was more difficult. Compared to Twice, who ran around in activities and gradually increased their popularity, they had a rather long cold period.

…By the way, EXO’s first major award seemed to be MMA’s Song of the Year. What a coincidence, and there seemed to be a sense of inheritance for some reason.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the group of acquaintances crying on the stage and clapped his hands in his heart.

Cry,

If I don't cry, I'll feel regretful when I think back...

"Shh..."

During Park Ji-hyo's speech, there were occasional boos and the audience
Chi Jingyuan heard it very clearly and looked back a few times inadvertently. After turning around, he appeared calm on the surface, but felt a little helpless in his heart.

Many A.R.I.M.s were obviously very unhappy about the awarding of the grand prize to Twice. They felt that there was some shady deal and that their oppa was being taken advantage of. Many fans who had come to the event specifically to witness EXO win all three grand prizes were furious because their hopes were dashed.

In fact, many Aili also knew in their hearts that it was normal for "Cheer Up", which ranked first in the annual chart and was popular all over the peninsula, to be the song of the year. But at this time, many people no longer cared about what was normal or not, they just wanted to vent their emotions.

Moreover, a little girl group that they had never taken seriously before snatched away their own grand prize, which made many people even more furious.

So when Twice went on stage to receive the award, many A-listers simply turned off the A-lister sticks in their hands.

More than half of the audience at MMA today were EXO fans holding sticks. A considerable number of them turned off the lights, and the entire auditorium went dark instantly, trying to create a silent and deep sea of ​​black. They wanted to use this scene, which would be a huge blow to any idol, to tell the Twice fans who were still immersed in the first grand prize that they were not to be messed with.

The effect is also very obvious.

Twice saw this scene when they stood on the stage just now. The abyss-like darkness made several girls' faces change obviously. Ji Jingyuan saw it clearly. For example, Kim Dahyun and Minatozaki Sana's smiles suddenly became a little forced.

The on-site PD also obviously noticed this scene. The camera has been cutting to the audience seats from the beginning to now. It seems that the director who wanted to show off to the audience how big the venue is and how full the audience is, did not cut the camera at all. Since Twice came on stage, he has been shooting at the stage and did not shoot below at all.

However, this scene in the Black Sea was obviously not communicated in advance, so the coordination was not very good, and many of the more rational Ellies did not turn off the lights.

At the same time, there are a large number of Ji Kyung-won fans. They seem to think that "Cheer Up" is a song written by their own oppa, and that winning the song of the year proves their oppa's strength. Twice also won half of the grand prizes as their own oppa, so they are all quite happy, happily shaking their Ariel sticks, and still cheering for Twice together with the group of rational fans.

Crazy fans of the group asked us to turn off the lights? ... Please, do you know who wrote and produced "Cheer Up"?

The group's grand prize was divided? What does it have to do with us? ... And the data of "Miss You" was far behind others. You are just dreaming.

Because of this internal division, this short-lived sea of ​​black was not complete enough. Coupled with other people's fans and passers-by, many places on the scene were dark with light, light with dark, and fragmented. If you don't look at the scene where the group turned off the lights, the attack and insult were actually not as strong as imagined.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know what to say about the commotion caused by his own fans.

AIRI's unconditional support and belief in herself and EXO have helped them reach their current position step by step.

Although... they seem to be a little more aggressive, a little more combative, and a little more irrational.

But even so, for Chi Jingyuan and all the members of EXO, they are still the best group in the world.

Although their behavior at this time would bring some unnecessary trouble and impact to Chi Jingyuan, they were in no position to blame him for anything.

Chi Jingyuan could only smile bitterly and complain a little in his heart.

Did you know my girlfriend is up there? And the lights are off!
amount……

As soon as he thought of this, he reacted.

If Ai Li, especially his fans, knew that Ming Jingnan on the stage was his girlfriend, they would probably rush over and tear her apart instead of just turning off the lights...

Forget it, let's just turn off the lights...

Just when he was a little distracted and thinking about all sorts of things, a loud scream suddenly broke out from the back, and the VJ knelt down beside him with a camera. Chi Jingyuan came back to his senses instantly.

"...Thank you Park Jin-young PDnim, thank you JYP, thank you...thank you Yuan senior who wrote the song "Cheer Up" for us, thank you so much."

It turned out that Park Ji Hyo was talking about the part of thanking others, and then she mentioned Ji Kyung Won. When she heard the name, many fans behind her screamed loudly. The director was also very considerate and gave the camera to Ji Kyung Won's reaction.
Chi Jingyuan managed his expression instantly, facing the camera, he looked at the big screen, clapped gently, and had a very standard sunny smile, without acting particularly friendly, which made all the fans excited, as well as satisfied and at ease.

Suddenly there was such a lively commotion, and several members of Twice on the stage naturally glanced towards the artist seats, but then quickly retracted their gazes and continued to listen to the captain's speech.

Although he was thanked directly, Chi Jingyuan didn't have any special thoughts in his mind at this time. He was thinking about other things curiously... He looked at the shot of Ming Jingnan on the big screen, and suddenly found that his girlfriend felt pity when she was crying with tears in her eyes. Combined with her unique temperament, there was a very special beauty... He couldn't describe it.

How can you cry so beautifully?

Chi Jingyuan was amazed.

I remember that my first impression of Ming Jingnan was that she was a crybaby...but after they got together, I don’t know if it was because she was in too good a mood, but Chi Jingyuan basically never saw her cry. At this moment, he was quite amazed at the first glance at her.

"Wow……"

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and it was obvious that Chi Jingyuan was not the only one who had similar thoughts.

Unfortunately, the shot was only for a short second, and soon it cut to Park Ji-hyo's big face. The huge difference was really sad.

After finishing their speeches, TWICE, who received their first grand prize since their debut, bowed deeply to the audience, then walked off the stage surrounded by each other and returned to the artist seats amid the various gazes of the idols.

Ji Jingyuan was sitting there and could hear Lin Nayeon's incessant crying behind him. Yu Jeongyeon next to her pretended to be strong and choked up as usual to comfort her, while she was sobbing herself. The two of them were like acting out a children's comedy.

Before he could laugh, the presenter of the last major award, Artist of the Year, walked onto the stage through the sliding door.

The award presenters this time were GOD's An Xinyuan and Son Haoyong...MMA is really interesting. HOT, Crystal Boys, and GOD, the three original idols from 20 years ago, were all invited today, making it like a nostalgia convention.

"The winner of the 2016 Melon Music Award, Artist of the Year, is..."

The two presenters didn't waste any time after a brief chat. They quickly watched the VCR and started to announce the results with the cards in hand. After a brief pause, they smiled at each other amid the constant shouts of "XO! XO!" from the audience and shouted out loudly: "XO!"

"Ahhhh!"

"You can call me Monster~"

"My blood, tears and sweat, take it all~"

Amid deafening cheers and screams, the passionate introduction of the narration, and the dynamic music of "Monster" and "Blood Sweat & Tears", the nine members of EXO jumped up from their seats, signaled to the other idols, and walked onto the stage in high spirits.

Chi Jingyuan stood on the far right of the team, listening to the captain Jin Junmyeon's emotional acceptance speech, staring at the countless points of light below in a trance.

Artist of the Year is the last award. Winning this award means the end of all MMA awards this year, and also means that EXO’s glorious journey is about to end today.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong emotion in his heart at this moment, which he had not felt so strongly when he received the Artist of the Year award just now.

Before this, when Chi Jingyuan saw the news about awards and grand prizes, or even discussed these with the members, he didn't really take them too seriously. It might be because of his brilliant idol career in recent years, and deep down he had thoughts like 'I'm used to winning too much', 'There's no suspense anyway, it will definitely be us', 'There's no more surprises than before'.

But this time, he really won the most important award again, standing in the center of the stage, in the center of everyone's attention.

Feeling the gazes of countless people, looking at the brilliant galaxy formed by thousands of silver-white lights below, looking at the faces of fans who were excited, crazy, and even crying with joy because of their awards, thinking of this hard and unforgettable journey this year, all the previous thoughts disappeared in an instant like a burst bubble.

Today, EXO received a total of six trophies including two grand prizes. None of them were obtained by simply waving their hands, and none of them were supposed to belong to them from the beginning.

Aren’t all these the result of their hard work day and night in the practice room, aren’t these the result of their albums one by one supported by the A-listers, and aren’t these the result of countless fans’ hard work and selfless voting day and night?

At this point, the fans are so excited and happy. Watching them standing on the stage to receive the awards is like they have accomplished the greatest thing in their lives. How can they really remain calm?

Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt a strong sense of self-blame and shame in his heart. He felt that his previous idea of ​​"I've been used to it" was so naive and irresponsible. He had lost his original awe and original intention.

He couldn't help biting his lip and frowning, then lowered his head and patted his forehead.

The teammates' emotions were obviously fluctuating strongly. Kim Junmyeon talked for a long time, which was rare. Kim Jongdae's voice became louder and louder with emotion, and Byun Baekhyun, who always showed a perfect appearance, also choked up.

Each member seemed to be filled with emotion, and no longer cared about maintaining the demeanor and attitude of a senior. Instead, they expressed their emotions to fans as childishly as newcomers.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but recall the year 2016.

Although EXO's performance this year is still brilliant, with sales continuing the strong performance of last year, and being as unrivaled as the scorching sun in the entire Kpop industry... but beneath the brilliant surface, there are actually many shadows. They did not have a smooth year and also encountered many difficulties.

Park Chanyeol was in a car accident at the beginning of the year and suffered serious foot injuries. He gritted his teeth and completed the work during that period.

In order to lose weight and train his abdominal muscles to look better on camera, Byun Baekhyun lost so much weight that he was admitted to the hospital.

Kim Jong-in's leg injury kept recurring, he limped and then got better, and he even missed his second comeback this year.

CBX's debut was not smooth and they were beaten by Twice, and they were ridiculed by the entire fan circle. Kim Minseok's condition and mood have been obviously not right recently. He has shown signs of depression and has gone to a psychologist for counseling many times.

Album comeback, personal career, concerts, and all sorts of other things. The non-stop, life-threatening schedule from the beginning of the year to now has left all members in a bad state, and all kinds of physical pain and illness have become commonplace... Chi Jingyuan is the one who understands this the most, not to mention how many days he worked all night long during the year, nor how many times he was sick and injured.

The most obvious thing is that he, who used to have a very rich private life, has even spent less time dating his girlfriend this year.

At the same time, because of the large number of group and personal schedules, the practice time for some stages was inevitably reduced. The results of the live stages in the middle were not satisfactory. Several times, fans and passers-by accused me of inconsistent dancing, regression, and slacking, etc.

In general, despite the impressive results, this year has been a year in which everyone in EXO has been on high alert and somewhat overwhelmed.

"Jingyuan..."

At this time, Kim Junmyeon next to him called him, and after the other members had given their speeches, he motioned for him to say a few words as well.

They all knew that fans would definitely love to see Chi Jingyuan speak.

"..."

Chi Jingyuan, who was originally standing at the side, was pulled to the middle and stood in front of the microphone. Facing the sudden cheers mixed with crying, as well as the countless sincere faces below, Chi Jingyuan was suddenly speechless.

To be honest, he did not prepare any acceptance speech, but this kind of thing was not difficult for him. He could come up with a few words easily if he wanted to. However, after a change of emotions, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He originally wanted to sincerely thank the fans for their support, say something like "We will still be standing here next year" to make them happy, or express his feelings about the hard journey this year and look forward to the glory of next year.

However, after he went through all these thoughts and words in his mind, and after much hesitation and pondering, he didn't say any of them in the end.

He looked at the silver dots waving in the audience, and he no longer had the calmness of a senior when he was on stage before. Instead, his smile and expression were a bit shy, and his voice was not very fluent:
"I'm really happy to receive this award. Um...we...will definitely continue to work hard to become an artist that all of our fans...Aili can feel the pride and be proud of."

"...Consamida."
