"And the award for Best Male Cantonese Singer of the Year goes to... Ting Yu!"
Wow!
Mo Yan's voice echoed throughout the venue.
Dual-language Best Male Singer!
The applause from the live audience hadn't stopped before it erupted again, louder this time.
Su Yu looked at Mo Yan's smiling face and finally understood why he had asked, "Are you going to give your acceptance speech now?"
So the next award was for him too...
However, he felt like he had snatched an award from Zhang Wei, as Zhang Wei was particularly skilled in Cantonese music.
Lost in thought, he got up and walked onto the stage.
"Thank you everyone for your support, and thank you for listening to my songs!"
Su Yu approached the microphone again and waved to the audience.
Holding one trophy in each hand, he looked incredibly glamorous. But the audience knew this was just the beginning.
After the awards for singers were presented, there were still awards for musicians, which was where Ting Yu truly shone.
Just as Su Yu was about to leave with his two trophies, Mo Yan's voice, laced with teasing, rang out from behind him.
"Are you sure you want to go back?"
Hearing this, Su Yu turned and asked, "There's more?"
"If you want to make more trips, you can go back and I'll announce them later. After all, the walk from the audience seats to the stage is something countless singers dream of, and the show's format is like this too. No matter how many awards there are, you can walk this path again." Mo Yan said with a smile, gesturing with the script in his hand.
The audience below burst into laughter at Mo Yan's words.
Indeed, Mo Yan was right. The walk from the audience to the stage was a journey many singers pursued their entire lives.
Many spent their entire careers in the industry without ever getting to take that walk even once.
Therefore, to them, walking the stage for each award was not excessive.
"Teacher Mo Yan, please stop teasing me. Just give me any remaining awards directly," Su Yu said with a wry smile.
He didn't know what other awards were coming, but he knew that if this continued, he wouldn't only feel uncomfortable, but he'd also be seen as a clown by others.
"Haha, then I shall begin announcing..." Mo Yan laughed heartily, then adjusted the glasses on his nose.
He cleared his throat.
Following the script, he began to read out the subsequent awards.
"Most Popular Male Singer of the Year... Ting Yu!"
"Most Influential Male Singer of the Year, Ting Yu!"
"Best Stage Performance Singer of the Year, Ting Yu!!"
"Yearly..."
As Mo Yan announced each award, his emotion and tone grew with each pronouncement!
The applause from the live audience rose in waves, mirroring his rising tone!
This meant Ting Yu had swept all the most prestigious male singer awards!
In the past two years, he had participated in "Masked Singer" and "King of Music Era" as a singer, and had won both championships.
It was only natural that he would receive these major awards. Although the audience had already anticipated this outcome, seeing Mo Yan list the awards like reciting a menu was truly astounding.
The program staff, those beautiful women in cheongsams, each carrying a trophy, came up from backstage and stood beside Ting Yu.
The impact was immense!
It made the singers in the audience so envious they looked distorted!
"I wouldn't even dare to dream of this!"
"A grand slam for male singers!!"
"Male singers are truly unfortunate. For the first time, I'm so glad I'm a woman..."
"This is too ridiculous. I dare say if there were gender restrictions, tonight all singers, regardless of gender, wouldn't have won any awards; they would all have been taken by Ting Yu!"
"He's transcended humanity, taking everything for himself!"
"Can you consider our feelings?"
"Gong Ju Ren and Zhang Wei still haven't won an award."
"Hahaha, thinking about it that way makes me feel better!"
Nearly ten major awards had been presented.
Su Yu had several staff members in cheongsams standing on each side of him.
Even he himself was starting to worry if the program staff would be enough.
However, these awards had been decided in advance, so the production team should have been prepared and wouldn't run out of staff.
The audience watching the live broadcast was also deeply impressed by the scene!
In the history of the Chinese music industry, such a spectacle had never been witnessed.
"I think he should be worried about how to carry all these trophies back..."
"Others come to receive awards, but Ting Yu is here to stock up!"
"Haha, if he can't carry them, he should just sell them off on the spot!"
"It's too outrageous, he's taken all the significant male singer awards!"
As time passed, Su Yu stood on stage for a full five minutes.
During these five minutes, fourteen cheongsam beauties stood beside him, and combined with the two trophies in his hands, he had received a total of sixteen awards!
A singer's grand slam!!
Mo Yan took a deep breath, clearing his slightly hoarse throat. "Giving you awards has taken half my life, old man..."
"Is that all?" Su Yu asked with a smile.
"For now, yes." Mo Yan's smile turned peculiar again.
They had only just begun presenting the singer awards. Next were major song awards like the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, which were Ting Yu's main events.
"Then, could the production team temporarily hold my trophies for me?"
Su Yu glanced at the cheongsam-clad women holding his trophies on either side and asked Mo Yan somewhat awkwardly.
He genuinely couldn't carry so many trophies.
"I believe the production team wouldn't refuse," Mo Yan said with a smile.
After Mo Yan finished speaking, Su Yu nodded to him and prepared to walk off stage.
He had been standing on stage for several minutes. Although the audience below was very gracious, with applause that never ceased and continuing as long as Mo Yan announced awards, he had nothing to do on stage, which naturally made him feel a bit awkward. He wanted to get down quickly.
"You've won so many awards, and you're not saying a few words of thanks?" Mo Yan reminded him with a hint of exasperation.
"Uh... I forgot." Su Yu scratched his head.
He then approached the microphone, thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything to say.
"Thank you all for listening to my songs. I wish you an early New Year."
After saying this, he clasped his hands towards the camera and the audience, then walked off stage with his two trophies.
The venue was silent for a full three seconds before erupting into laughter.
The New Year had just passed, and he was already wishing everyone an early New Year?
Was he trying to be funny?
"Honestly, if I had won so many awards, I would also be too excited to speak..."
"That's you being excited; Ting Yu is indifferent. These awards mean nothing to him."
"Haha, Ting Yu is too funny. It's the first time I've seen someone not know what to say in an acceptance speech because they've won too many awards!"
"This is nothing. The main events are yet to come; the producer awards haven't been announced. I predict Ting Yu will be on stage for more than a few minutes, possibly until the end of the ceremony..."
The singer awards had just been presented, and Ting Yu had already achieved a grand slam in that category. His achievements as a producer were even greater, having reached the pinnacle of the Blue Star. The awards to come were likely to be astonishing!
