How to become an ACE of a top boy group

The electronic screen above the stage then projected clips from the selected music videos, including the giant cuckoo monster from Iletter's "Fatal Desire," the post-apocalyptic collapse of a city from Crop Circle's "Warning," and the blue sea and lovers embracing on a small boat from Rain Symphony Orchestra's "Once Upon a Time, Tomorrow." Finally, the screen paused on the collapsed city amidst the flames and ruins.

""warn"!"

Rong Tian made the final decision.

"From Crop Circle 2X44's February album 'Solving the Time-Traveling Problem,' the song 'Warning' uses grand scenes and sophisticated virtual reality technology to vividly recreate various historical disaster scenes. Furthermore, the multi-layered narrative structure cleverly highlights the album's central theme: knowing it's an irreversible tragedy, is there still the courage to travel back in time and face the disaster again? The music video uses an objective perspective..."

Suddenly, the camera switched to IL and Rain Symphony on another large electronic screen. The director then focused on recording the reactions of Luo Xi and Lee Yong-hyun. Lee Yong-hyun was staring blankly with a beautiful expression, while Luo Xi was clapping enthusiastically. She didn't have the forced smile that Bo Nam had when he won the award. Her smile was so bright that the camera lingered on her for two seconds.

Although I really wanted my band to win, the awards for Crop Circle or Rain Symphony's music video were well-deserved, and even Luo Xi himself felt there was a high chance they wouldn't win. Crop Circle's "Warning" music video has 40 million views, Rain Symphony's "Once Upon a Time, Tomorrow" music video has nearly 9 million views, while I Letter's "Fatal Desire" music video only has a few hundred thousand views. It's not very realistic for them to suddenly win an award.

During the rehearsals for the China Music Awards, all the invited groups went up to rehearse and pre-record. However, due to time constraints, the groups that did not win an award did not have a stage during the official recording.

To prevent them from not being able to perform on stage because they won no awards, Mo Ri Entertainment used a bit of "privilege" when arranging the stage, linking ILitter's stage with FD's stage. Although they couldn't perform their hit song "Fatal Desire" because they didn't win any awards, ILitter could at least perform a short segment of "Black and Red" to connect with FD's stage as the opening act for FD's performance, which was acceptable since they were a twin group.

Such a situation is rare, but as the planner, Moji Entertainment has a say. Even though it was clearly intended to give IL a chance to shine, it was approved.

I didn't expect it to be edged again.

Sigh, Rosie thought they'd at least get a newcomer award.

【It's all Bao Nan's fault! They're ripping people off! How could they do this by inflating their scores?! They even managed to get an award! They'll get their comeuppance!】041, who had been cursing all along, started to curse helplessly.

"It's come to this," Rosie encouraged herself. She could still capture every moment, shining brightly and attracting fans!

The ceremony and awards presentation are ongoing.

After several more "Best" awards were given out, Fiction (D) won the Best Choreography award for their wildly popular bunny stage.

Song of the Year was ultimately awarded to ZONE's "Bite!", praised for its precise grasp of the year's retro trend and its use of emerging pop music elements, achieving significant success overseas. Album of the Year went to One Origin's "Life Adjustment," a cohesive and well-rounded album that expressed delicate and sincere emotions with high-level composition and outstanding sales and streaming numbers. The Global Fans' Choice Award went to ZONE's leader, Kang So-wan, the guy who always has a grumpy face and acts like a diva in private. Group of the Year Pink Sugar was the best-performing group on the retro aesthetic stage this year…

Luo Xi only heard the host's voice; she didn't see the actual award ceremony because she and her members were already backstage preparing to go on stage.

The stage lights slowly came on, a retro gramophone sound effect played, and after a few seconds of sampled music from the Republican era, it switched to the accompaniment of "Black and Red," and Luo Xi and the members appeared on stage.

Having practiced the moves countless times, she performed them with even greater skill, dancing with elegant and restrained choreography to the lively drumbeats and the dangerous yet captivating atmosphere created by the music, while singing lyrics she knew by heart.

Standing in the highest and widest view, Luo Xi finally saw a corner, a dark corner, an ILitter light sign submerged among numerous light signs... The reason she could see it was because there were about dozens of small, cylindrical, golden candle-shaped lights around the light sign, perhaps homemade support lights, the light gathered together as bright as a flashlight, instantly shining from one side of the stage to the other, and onto Luo Xi's face.

Luo Xi was suddenly touched. As she sang her own part, she couldn't help but wink at the corner where the candlelight was, her original cool choreography move of tapping the ground with one hand was instantly changed to making a small heart shape with both hands.

I was so engrossed that I didn't even hear the system notification: "God-level shot completed, reward 500 points, first-time reward 1000 points, current points: 4959."

The stage appearance lasted only half a minute before quickly ending. The giant bird-shaped monster prop, originally designed to enhance the stage, appeared amidst smoke and dimming lights. Gunshots rang out, and the five members of ILitterer fell to the ground. The stage went completely dark, and all the lights converged into a single beam upwards. Fiction (D) descended from the sky in a rabbit-shaped hot air balloon prop, and the stage erupted in even louder cheers—the sound of popularity and market success.

ILetter quietly walked off the stage.
