337 Special Award (1/2)
The show went into another commercial break to increase the suspense for the last three official awards. Congratulations rained down upon the winners, especially for Iris Long and Jin Chonglin. Not only were they the two artists who received the most nominations, but they were also the ones who won the most so far. And the event wasn't done yet. They might even win more.
Jin Chonglin won the most awards so far. He now had five trophies, including the people's choice award for Most Popular Male Artist. Iris Long won four trophies so far, including the people's choice award for Most Popular Female Artist.
However, the competition between them was bound to heat up even more. The ceremony resumed after the commercial break.
Everyone was very excited. The Black Stars and Jin Chonglin's army of fans were on the edge of their seats while holding their hands together to pray for their Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin's victory against each other.
”The Album of the Year Award goes to…'Rebirth' by Iris Long!!!”
The Black Stars jumped up in unison and cheered loudly. Jin Chonglin's army of fans looked at them in envy while politely clapping their hands.
”Our Prince Lin Lin will get the next award for sure,” they told themselves.
Iris wasn't even back to her seat yet when…
”The Song of the Year Award goes to…'Rebirth' by Iris Long!!!”
For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She stood in the aisle while still carrying the award she had just received moments ago. But now she was being called back to the stage to receive another one.
”Brat, give it to me! Hurry up and go back to the stage! Ahaha!” JJ shouted at her in delight.
She handed her award to him and returned to the stage. Standing in front of the mic for the sixth time tonight, even she couldn't believe it.
”I…thank you. Wow. I honestly don't know what to say anymore. I've already used up all of my speeches.”
Everyone laughed.
”Just…thank you so very much!”
Although the contents of her speech was unimpressive, the context of the situation was extraordinary. The other musicians present would do anything to be in her current position. Running out of speeches was the most wonderful problem they would be willing to experience if it meant that they could also win so many awards like her in a single night.
Once again, Iris didn't make it into her seat immediately because the people offered their congratulations to her on the way. But since the next award was the last one, the hosts didn't jump into it right away. They first hyped everyone up and increased the suspense.
Iris was able to return to her seat beside JJ and DJ Song who looked absolutely proud and delighted of her wins.
Needless to say, the Black Stars were beyond happy. Even they couldn't believe that their boss would win so many awards tonight. With one last award left, they also wanted their Boss Iris to win it. Wouldn't it be amazing if she won it? It would mean that she swept the majority of the most important awards for this year's music awards.
As for Jin Chonglin's army of fans, they were feeling extremely anxious. They prayed hard for their Prince Lin Lin to win the last and the most important award of the night.
Male host: ”The moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived. We will now announce the nominees for the Artist of the Year Award!”
All six nominees were introduced with much fanfare. Among them were Jin Chonglin and Iris Long. Of course, they received the most cheers and applause.
Female host: ”And the Artist of the Year Award goes to…”
The male host opened the envelope. The female host peeked at it and gasped. She looked visibly shocked. Her reaction was caught by the cameras. It increased the anxiety of the nominees and their fans.
