The real-time broadcast screen was aimed at the stage in the venue, and the lights were dim.
The audience present or not present had already anticipated who the opening guest would be.
So the moment the lights came back on, the scene erupted into enthusiastic cheers, and the online live broadcast was reflected in the number of viewers and enthusiastic messages on the barrage.
The seats of Jiang Yuan, Louis and others were very close to the stage, so when enjoying the performance, it was very impactful both in terms of hearing and vision.
The opening show was handed over to a group of well-known singers. During the break in the performance, Louis also gave Jiang Yuan some science knowledge.
"They sang the soundtrack of a movie, and with just such a song, they were nominated for five awards tonight." Louis' tone revealed a bit of envy.
Strictly speaking, the two singers on stage were singers who launched at the same time as Lewis.
In comparison, it was also a year when no album was released. The other party relied on the popularity brought by the hit movie to win so many nominations, and now he is a guest at the opening show.
And Louis has only one nomination tonight with Jiang Yuan, so it's obviously hard not to care at all.
"Really?" Jiang Yuan's attention was mainly on the stage, but he didn't notice Louis' tone.
After hearing about the soundtrack of the popular movie, I listened more carefully for a while, and then I realized that I seemed to have seen the movie before. I can only say that it was indeed a familiar song.
After the performance of the approximately five-minute piece ended, Jiang Yuan also applauded along with the audience.
If he hadn't also participated in tonight's nominations, it would have been pretty good just being an audience member in the audience. Jiang Yuan thought casually. After all, for most of the past six months, Jiang Yuan had almost always performed on stage by himself.
What an opportunity to enjoy other people's performances.
The singers and backup dancers walked off the stage, the lights in the venue came on, and the stage returned to its original background setting.
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to chat with Paul and others beside him, tonight's host appeared in the center of the guest box and started hosting in an extremely exaggerated tone.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to tonight's IMA awards ceremony..."
"There are so many stars here tonight. Many singers on the music charts have appeared on the scene. To my left..."
With an exaggerated tone, the host began to introduce some of the more popular singers tonight.
The camera of the live broadcast also moves along with the host's introduction.
"They will probably come to our table soon." Looking at the host's moving speed, Paul said to Jiang Yuan.
"This guy is the host of a well-known show..." Then, Louis also introduced the background information of the host and muttered the name of a show.
Jiang Yuan looked confused and shook his head to express that he had never heard of it.
Although it sounds like a well-known program, with Jiang Yuan's busy schedule, it is almost the limit to be able to spare time to pay attention to the high-quality music and movies released that year.
"Oh, here, we have our famous band Blu-ray Band..."
After listening to the introduction, which was like announcing the names of dishes, the host finally walked over to Jiang Yuan's table with the camera.
By the time he walked to the front of himself and the others, Jiang Yuan felt that it was almost past the opening show performance time.
When the camera and the scene were all focused, Paul and others also smiled and waved at the camera, with nothing to say.
After the Blu-ray band, the host quickly focused on Jiang Yuan.
"Look who's next to the Blu-ray band, my God, it's Omega..."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment after listening to the introduction, obviously not expecting to hear homophones here.
However, when facing the camera, the artist's instinct began to come to mind, the corners of his mouth raised, and he greeted the camera with a smile.
When Jiang Yuan was smiling at the camera, there were certain sounds from the audience from time to time.
Although the seats in the infield are reserved for guests, the seats in the grandstand area are basically open to the public.
Therefore, a certain number of fans still came to the scene, wanting to witness the moment when Jiang Yuan won the award. Now that they finally saw Jiang Yuan on camera, they instantly became excited.
"Of course this is another identity. The singer Jiang Yuan who came to the scene today is also a winner tonight who has been nominated for six major awards."
Regarding the host's subsequent introduction, Jiang Yuan just continued to smile and nod.
There were many people at the scene, and after saying this, the camera quickly cut to Lewis on the side.
It stands to reason that Louis has become famous early and can be considered a frequent attendee of the IMA Awards. However, in recent years, the number of appearances has indeed been reduced. After all, sometimes he has not been nominated.
The host obviously has a high emotional intelligence, and there is no pot that he would not touch. He just congratulated him in advance and hoped that Louis would win tonight, and then turned around to introduce other singers.
Although there were not many shots, the few dozen seconds of Jiang Yuan's appearance in the live broadcast were quickly moved to the Yuan universe, arousing enthusiastic attention from fans.
After all, this is the complete exposure of the infield look, and at the same time, everyone is also enthusiastically discussing the topic of IMA.
[I have to say, the blond hair is really handsome, and the brooch matched with this outfit also looks great, giving me a sense of elegance and aristocracy! 】
[When the camera panned to Jiang Yuan, I felt that the picture quality had become much higher definition!]
[By the way, will the first award announced later be the award related to us? 】
[Is there an order in which the awards are announced? Which award is awarded first?]
[It seems like Best Pop Solo Performance? Not sure...]
[The nomination awards are presented here, and I feel very nervous! 】
【Nervous...】
——
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The first award that will be presented soon is the Best Pop Solo of the Year award. How about it? Are you nervous?" After the host left, Louis said
He asked Jiang Yuan curiously.
"It's hard to say." Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully and shook his head slowly.
After all, the first award to be awarded will obviously not be the most important award nominated by Jiang Yuan.
But if you don't want to win, that's not entirely true. After all, this is the first award to be awarded tonight. If possible, Jiang Yuan is certainly not willing to miss a single nomination.
"The competition for this award is actually quite fierce. Besides you, there are..." Paul had already come up with the list of nominations and was also very concerned about Jiang Yuan's award.
Because it is a solo award, it is not on the same track as Paul and others.
As Paul, who participated in the recording of "World Song" with Jiang Yuan and witnessed multiple live performances and the entire process of the final album release, he can be said to be quite supportive of Jiang Yuan at this time, "Don't be too nervous, I think this award will definitely go to you."
of."
"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded, and then waited for the host to complete a full circle in the guest seats before introducing the two award presenters for the first award, and officially started the award ceremony.
“The award presenters this year are quite famous.”
Before Jiang Yuan could see the singer on the stage clearly, he heard Louis and Paul talking quietly.
"Indeed, I didn't expect that Meghan would be the one to present the first award." Paul nodded.
Jiang Yuan caught the key words, checked the numbers in his mind, and then matched his names with those of the award-giving guests on the stage.
After entering the industry, Jiang Yuan now has a certain understanding of slightly popular singers and actors.
After all, big data will be pushed frequently, and popular people will naturally be seen, sooner or later.
The presenter on stage was the kind of singer whose name and song Jiang Yuan had heard, but who couldn't recognize him.
In other words, we knew Jiang Yuan at first, but many European and American singers' faces really fade a bit quickly, and their makeup is quite exaggerated, so it's normal that they didn't recognize him for a while.
Meghan and another female singer walked to the front of the stage as if they were walking on a catwalk.
"A total of five singers were nominated for this award tonight."
"The first thing that must be mentioned is that with so many albums released last year, being nominated for this is already a winner in itself."
"So, here are the nominees for Pop Solo of the Year:..."
After a brief opening remarks, the relevant MV began to play on the big screen.
Each of the five nominated singers selected a MV and played a short section.
Jiang Yuan chose the MV of "Sugar" for playback. After all, this is the only official MV of the album, and the others haven't even had time to be released yet.
After the clips of the five MVs were played, a real-time close-up puzzle of the five Jiang Yuan candidates began to appear on the big screen.
After Jiang Yuan noticed the camera, he smiled subconsciously, and then continued to look at the award presenter on the stage, or rather the envelope in his hand, waiting for the answer to be revealed.
Being in such an environment, Jiang Yuan's heart still aroused some desire for the award itself.
"Tonight, the 21st IMA Award for Best Pop Solo Performance of the Year is presented to Elf Revere."
However, Jiang Yuan didn't expect it for too long. The award presenter opened the envelope and revealed the answer very neatly.
There wasn't even any pause, it was just a very fast pace from knowing that I was nominated to not winning.
There was almost no process. Immediately after the music started playing, a blonde female singer in a white dress appeared on the stage with a look of joy on her face.
Jiang Yuan did not show his disappointment and applauded along with the scene.
"It doesn't matter. Sometimes winning this award has nothing to do with the final grand prize. This can also be regarded as a good signal."
After the applause, Paul's comfort came quickly.
Even though he said this, Paul actually had no idea in his heart.
After all, Jiang Yuan was shortlisted to participate in IMA for the first time. To be honest, there are not many singers who directly won the final award in the first year.
Paul felt that the quality of Jiang Yuan's album last year was enough to win the award, but Paul was not sure how the judging panel would ultimately consider it.
Listening to Paul's comfort, Jiang Yuan nodded, picked up the sparkling water on the table and took a sip to calm down.
In fact, what Jiang Yuan was thinking was quite different from Paul's comfort.
It's just that I still feel sad that I was nominated for one of the six major nominations at the beginning.
On the stage, a female singer named Elf Revere received the trophy and was giving an acceptance speech.
It seems that because of the need to control time, the acceptance speech was very short. I just talked about my feelings and the winning music and then ended.
"It doesn't matter, in a few more awards we will be nominated." After the other party stepped down, Louis glanced at the order of awards and said to Jiang Yuan.
Louis mainly gained a sense of participation in tonight's IMA awards ceremony by paying attention to Jiang Yuan's nomination.
After all, there is an award shared by both of them.
Listening to Louis' words, Jiang Yuan took a breath of water again and continued to wait.
However, the waiting time was much shorter than Jiang Yuan imagined. The awards were awarded at a fast pace that was somewhat beyond Jiang Yuan's expectation.
Basically, the nominations are announced, and then after the nomination list is announced, the winning singer is announced directly. It can be said that there is no delay at all.
However, after taking another look at the length of the awards and discovering that there were more than one hundred major and small awards to be awarded that night, Jiang Yuan understood the speed of awarding.
"We'll be here soon!" Always paying attention to the news of the awards, Louis began to become more excited.
After all, whether the sense of participation in IMA tonight is high or low, it all depends on this for Louis.
"Tsk, originally this nomination should be for my collaboration with Jiang Yuan." After Paul noticed the next award, he couldn't help but tut.
Last year Jiang Yuan also collaborated on a song with Blu-ray Band, but a singer can only be nominated for one IMA award.
According to this rule, and for some unknown reason, the review team nominated the collaboration between Jiang Yuan and Louis.
"Oh, but Jiang Yuan and I were nominated." Louis responded lightly.
"The review team is blind!" Paul choked on the established facts and started to focus on the review team.
"It's hard to say." Lewis shook his head slowly.
"How do you say that?" Paul asked curiously.
"If we don't get on the podium later, then they are indeed blind, no, deaf." Louis said while taking a sip of champagne.
Then he noticed that the previous award presentation was over. Louis subconsciously sat upright and said, "It's coming, it's coming!"
Jiang Yuan and others also concentrated for a moment, waiting for the musician who received the award on the stage to finish his acceptance speech.
After continuing to wait for a while, the presenter did not wait for the award presenter to come on stage. Instead, the host began to introduce the next group of performances.
"Damn, I forgot about the performance!" Louis leaned back on his chair in frustration.
"I forgot about this." Paul also nodded.
Jiang Yuan also took a sip and soaked in water again. It was good to watch a performance, but at this point in time, it felt like a commercial.
Fortunately, after the performance, the atmosphere returned immediately. The award-giving guests came on stage, and Jiang Yuan and others sat up straight again.
