Chapter 315: Yes, King-making!

No one expected that the 【Hua Ge Award】 would actually pull a stunt like this!

It wouldn't have been very surprising for Luo Mo to win 【Best Newcomer Award】, but participating in the competition for 【Annual Best Male Singer】 was a bit of an eye-opener.

"There has been no precedent for this before!"

"This is equivalent to breaking the rules for him!"

Although there is no regulation stating that a newcomer cannot win other awards, because it has been this way every year, it has gradually evolved into an unwritten rule.

In recent years, there have indeed been very few brilliant newcomers in the music scene, which has made the Newcomer King of each year less of a focus than in previous years, and no one felt they were qualified to compete for other awards.

But if you push time back a few years, in the golden age, every major awards ceremony could be described by one term—gods fighting!

Many of the Annual Best Newcomers from those years have now become big figures in the music industry.

Yet even such a group of people could not compete for other awards in their first year of debut.

What's more... this is one of the three major awards, 【Annual Best Male Singer】!

On Blue Star, the three most watched awards are Annual Best Male/Female Singer, and Annual Best Album!

This caused an uproar across the entire internet, and the Strangers were even more excited one by one.

"If he takes this award, he will be a legitimate Song King!"

"Under normal circumstances, if a male singer has solid album sales, high enough popularity, and has won the Song King honor from both the Hua Ge Award and the Golden Melody Awards, he can join the ranks of Heavenly King level singers!"

"If Luo Mo wins it, in a fantasy novel, that would be the 【Half-Step Heavenly King Realm】!"

"No, no, no! You have actually overlooked one point!"

Yes, many people overlooked a very important point.

Because Luo Mo scored five kills in one night on the night of the Golden Melody Awards, he had already taken five trophies.

If he takes another 【Annual Best Male Singer】, he will have essentially taken almost every award a male singer can take, just not at the same awards ceremony.

Although the awards ceremonies are not the same one, in his personal file, it is as if he has almost completed the set!

Only one 【Best Lyricist】 is missing!

Yes, the Golden Melody Awards did not give Luo Mo Best Lyricist, because if this award were also given to him, he would have directly achieved a Grand Slam of behind-the-scenes awards.

And the so-called Grand Slam honor is divided into three categories.

One category is the behind-the-scenes award Grand Slam, which means taking Lyricist, Composer, Arranger, and Producer.

One category is the singer category Grand Slam, which means taking Best Newcomer, Best Singer, Best Album, Best Single, and so on.

And there is another category, which is the most Ox—taking them all!

Those sesame-seed-sized awards can be ignored, such as cover design and the like. If you take all the heavyweight awards, then this is the strongest Grand Slam!

Blue Star does indeed have such a person, and that is the aforementioned top Heavenly King—Chen Luo.

This person is a creative Heavenly King.

It's just that his Grand Slam was actually "pieced together" from the two major ceremonies, the 【Hua Ge Award】 and the 【Golden Melody Awards】.

For example, having won Best Lyricist at the Hua Ge Award and Best Composer at the Golden Melody Awards.

It is not to say that he took all the awards from these two major ceremonies, but that when put together, he has them all!

Chen Luo once said that his biggest wish now is to be able to truly achieve a Grand Slam at both major awards before retiring.

And looking at Luo Mo, he has only been debuted for one year, and he is already infinitely close to this achievement!

Of course, the premise is that he takes the heavyweight Song King honor, which is the biggest hurdle.

At this moment, Xu Chujing held the card and did not announce the winner directly.

Because the camera needs to give close-ups to those who received a Nomination, and it has to freeze for more than ten seconds to capture their facial expressions.

Luo Mo's expression was incomparably calm, while Zhao Xueqin, who also received a Nomination, was a bit awkward.

"What I fear comes, it really comes!" Zhao Xueqin least wanted to receive a Nomination for the same award as Luo Mo.

He would rather not have this Nomination!

If he loses, "old stories" will be mentioned by everyone again.

If he wins, everyone will say it's a dark operation.

And besides Zhao Xueqin, there was another Heavenly King level singer who received a Nomination, named Wu Yuefeng.

If we take our dear Heavenly King Zhao, Zhao Xueqin, as a unit of measurement, this person is one level stronger than the ordinary Heavenly King Zhao Xueqin, and can tentatively be called Heavenly King Level Two.

But this Wu Yuefeng is called the next Chen Luo by many people.

Because he is very young.

He is a full seven years younger than Zhao Xueqin, yet his achievements are already much higher than Zhao Xueqin's.

This Wu Yuefeng also comes from the music industry giant—Cilong Entertainment!

What makes Luo Mo relatively gratified is that Sun Yi also received this Nomination. Of course, no matter how you look at it, he is here to accompany the runner.

Like Sun Yi and Tao Jie, they have actually firmly sat on the throne of First-line Singer; if Luo Mo carefully crafts an album for them, it will be hard to say for the next ceremony!

After pondering for a while, Xu Chujing approached the microphone to announce the final winner.

"The winners of this year's Hua Ge Award for Best Male Singer are..."

She began to gasp for air, creating suspense.

Some people were slightly puzzled, feeling that she had made a grammatical error.

Everyone usually says "The winner is—", not "The winners are—".

The latter sounds like it is not one spot, but multiple people.

But Xu Chujing's next words caused an uproar at the scene.

"Congratulations to Luo Mo! Congratulations to Wu Yuefeng!"

"I didn't expect this year's Hua Ge Award for Best Male Singer to be a double-yolk egg." Xu Chujing made a small joke.

Amidst the astonished applause of everyone, Luo Mo and Wu Yuefeng also stood up in a slight daze.

I have heard of two people winning Best Actress together.

But two people winning Song King together is unheard of!

The industry insiders in the audience were all lost in thought.

"Is this how they use such special means to convince the masses?"

"The Hua Ge Award really went to great lengths to boost Luo Mo."

"I see Wu Yuefeng's face turning green; it feels like his wife gave half of her butt to another man for no reason."

"It can't feel very good for a long-established Heavenly King to share an award with a Newcomer."

"That's still better than Heavenly King Zhao, who walked away with nothing."

No one can guess what the organizers of the Hua Ge Award were thinking.

But it is very clear that the officials have an supreme favoritism toward Luo Mo!

Even the Golden Melody Awards didn't break the rules to give Luo Mo the title of Song King, yet the Hua Ge Award, with its official background, gave it generously!

Winning both Best Newcomer and Best Male Singer in one year—if not for the "double egg" fig leaf, it would be equivalent to telling the entire music scene: "None of you men could beat Luo Mo this year!"

Female Singers: "Good thing we aren't the same gender."

At this moment, both award-winning male Singers buttoned their suit jackets and walked with long strides toward the podium.

After getting on stage, Luo Mo snuck a glance at the paper card in Xu Chujing's hand, and seeing that he wanted to watch, the Heavenly Queen Xu generously let him see it.

Others saw this scene and thought Luo Mo was just being funny, deliberately putting on an incredulous look to liven up the atmosphere.

In reality, Luo Mo just wanted to know if his name was written first among the winners, or if Wu Yuefeng's name was written first.

The answer was—Wu Yuefeng!

Yet Xu Chujing had just read Luo Mo's name first!

The staff brought up the two trophies that had been prepared long ago, and Xu Chujing smiled as she presented the awards to the two of them.

When presenting the award to Wu Yuefeng, there wasn't much interaction.

After the trophy was in Luo Mo's hands and the two finished shaking hands, Xu Chujing, perhaps thinking of something, raised an eyebrow and whispered: "Not going to Embrace me?"

Upon hearing this, how could Luo Mo miss out on such a benefit?

A woman with such a voluptuous figure is just comfortable to hold.

After the two separated, Xu Chujing smiled, raised her hand in a gesture of invitation, and said: "You may deliver your acceptance speech."

Luo Mo gestured for Wu Yuefeng, as the senior, to go first; Wu Yuefeng just nodded faintly, accepting it as his due.

"Thank you to the Hua Ge Award for allowing me to receive the honor of Annual Best Male Singer for two consecutive years."

Right from the start, he pointed out that he had won the award consecutively.

Whether intentional or unintentional, it sounded like he was drawing a line between himself and Luo Mo, firmly keeping him a notch below.

Following that, what he said wasn't anything special, but the man himself gave off an air of extraordinary bearing.

At the end of his acceptance speech, he even sang two lines of his new song.

This song was to give back to his fans, and these two lines of lyrics were quite fitting for an acceptance speech.

Wu Yuefeng's Singing skills were still beyond reproach; although it was an a cappella performance on the spot, the singing was very pleasant to hear.

After finishing, he took a step back and yielded the microphone to Luo Mo.

There was no communication between the two in the middle, and he didn't make any movements or gestures.

Luo Mo had previously made a gesture of invitation toward him, but he hadn't given any response to that either.

Since his debut, Wu Yuefeng had followed a cold and aloof path; he had always been like this, acting arrogant all day long.

Yet many people just bought into this, thinking he was very cool, and expressed that they had been won over by this cold male god.

Luo Mo didn't take it to heart, but Xu Chujing frowned slightly on the side.

She just stood there and took a simple look at Wu Yuefeng.

Wu Yuefeng seemed to sense her gaze, glanced over with his peripheral vision, and immediately turned slightly to the side.

This woman's aura was too strong; Wu Yuefeng didn't even dare to meet her eyes.

"Are you really protecting this Newcomer that much?" he thought to himself.

"Has she been infatuated by this pretty boy?"

On the other side, Luo Mo had already walked toward the microphone.

Luo Mo's acceptance speech remained brief and official, nothing more than thanking this person and thanking that person.

Last time, he had even said, "I regret not seeing the ancients, and I regret the ancients did not see my madness," which directly set off the biggest climax of the Golden Melody Awards.

This time he was much more restrained, perhaps because he was sharing the award with someone else... as if.

After finishing the "main text" of his acceptance speech, he even gave everyone an "extra chapter."

He was seen raising the trophy in his hand, then turning his head to look at Xu Chujing, and smiling as he said:

"After saying so much, actually, I just wanted to come up here and Embrace you."
