The camera focused on the ten girls. Except for Xia Shiyu, who remained calm, the other girls were excitedly laughing and crying.
Everyone went up on stage and received their trophies from the presenters. The trophies were passed around to each person before finally being handed to Wang Can. Xia Shiyu patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to speak.
Wang Can paused for a moment, but seeing everyone looking at her with encouraging eyes, she walked up to the microphone. However, she choked up when she uttered her first words.
"I am very grateful to the expert panel for their recognition, which allowed us to receive this honor. Although we are only a one-year limited group, we have experienced the ups and downs of life together during this year, and we have realized the importance of our teammates. We have supported each other. As for myself, I have gradually become more determined about the path I want to take next."
After she finished speaking, she paused, looked at Xia Shiyu beside her, and smiled. "Finally, I want to thank our captain Xia Xia. You are the backbone of the whole group and everyone's strongest support. Although you have done a lot without saying anything, everyone has seen it. I know that your strength is far more than what has been shown. You have suppressed your brilliance for the sake of the harmony of the whole group."
"From now on, we will be your strong support. You should shine brightly. Even if we, Shero, disband, you will always be our captain."
As Wang Can finished speaking, the other nine girls bowed deeply to Xia Shiyu, calling her "Captain."
Xia Shiyu was stunned, tears streaming down her face. She quickly turned her back, and the girls all surrounded her.
Many of the audience members, both in the audience and in front of the screen, had been following Shero all along, and they almost burst into tears upon seeing this.
A barrage of comments appeared.
Shero will never disband.
The best captain Xia Shiyu
Even if it's only for a year, Shero will always be the best girl group in my heart. Go Shero!
After Xia Shiyu finally calmed down, the host handed her the microphone, saying, "Xiaxia, why don't you say a few words?"
Xia Shiyu took the microphone, glanced at his teammates beside him, then at the audience, and smiled. "I used to think I was unlucky, but now that I've come this far, if I were to say that again, I would be ungrateful."
"I want to thank many people. Thank you to my teammates, thank you to the fans who support us, thank you to everyone who has helped me, and also, thank you to my manager, Shen Huai."
"Thank you for seeing me."
The camera then focused on Shen Huai in the audience, a gentle smile playing on his lips as he looked at Xia Shiyu on stage.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Xia Shiyu bowed to the audience before leading the other team members off the stage.
Shen Huai sighed softly, but then he thought of Ye Cang at the Golden Melody Awards two years ago. He couldn't help but look in Ye Cang's direction, only to meet Ye Cang's gaze. Ye Cang smiled and mouthed something to him.
Shen Huai recognized it and immediately shook his head helplessly.
Ye Cang turned back, satisfied.
Ye Cang also won awards afterward, but it couldn't compare to the grand slam he achieved when he was reborn. He failed to win Best Album and was left with only the final grand prize, Best Song.
The competition for Best Song this year is fierce, with Ye Cang's album title track "Is It Not?" and Lu Zhenzhen's "Queen Mary" being strong contenders.
While Ye Cang's performance was commendable, Lu Zhenzhen's rendition of Queen Mary was not only a stunning song, but also a transformative work for her, receiving unanimous praise from the industry and audiences.
Before this, although all sorts of rumors were flying around, until this moment, no one knew which song would win the grand prize today.
Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but show a hint of nervousness, staring intently at the award presenters on stage.
The presenter for this award was Fan Jing, but this highly respected senior in the music industry did not intend to reveal the result so easily. On stage, he almost had a stand-up comedy routine with another guest, which made Lu Zhenzhen so anxious that she almost went crazy before finally revealing the result.
"The winner of the Best Song award at the 28th Golden Melody Awards is Yeh Cang. Congratulations!"
A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Zhenzhen's face, but she quickly smiled again and applauded Ye Cang. Apart from her, the other candidates also sincerely congratulated Ye Cang.
After hugging each of them, Ye Cang walked onto the stage and accepted the trophy from Fan Jing.
Standing in front of the microphone, he seemed to have returned to two years ago. He looked in the direction of Shen Huai below the stage and revealed a faint smile.
"Two years ago, I was in this position and said something like, 'I hope that when my agent and I come back, my opponents will be even better.' Now it seems that my opponents have achieved that."
The crowd burst into laughter, and some people even whistled.
Ye Cang waited until the audience quieted down before continuing, "It's a bit of a pity that we didn't get the Grand Slam this time, but I'm happy to see our music becoming richer and more diverse. This is our good fortune, and also the good fortune of this era."
At first, everyone laughed a couple of times, but by the end, many musicians were moved and started applauding.
Ye Cang bowed slightly to the audience and said, "Thank you all for coming, thank you to the expert panel for their recognition, and thank you to all my competitors who are vying for this award with me today. Your presence makes all the awards more valuable."
"Finally, I want to thank you," he paused, then suddenly smiled, "but I won't say thank you this time."
"Shen Huai, I love you."
Chapter 184
The events at the Golden Melody Awards were quickly reported to all viewers through various media channels.
Although Ye Cang failed to achieve another Grand Slam, which is somewhat regrettable, most people can accept the result. Lu Zhenzhen's album was in preparation for a year and a half, and all the songs on the album are quite good, with "Queen Mary," a song that breaks away from her personal style, being particularly brilliant.
However, what's more important is Ye Cang's confession to Shen Huai on stage after receiving the award.
Netizens had varying reactions.
Ugh, the stench of love!
Ahhhhhh, C-party members are completely satisfied!
Cangcangshawo
I don't know whether I should envy Cangzai or Huaihuai.
The buzz surrounding this event almost overshadowed the Golden Melody Awards. Chu Meibo and the others didn't go to the event in person, but instead gathered at home to watch the live stream together, a rare occurrence.
Upon seeing this, all three of them unanimously made a "tsk tsk" sound.
