Chapter Seventy-Five: Award Winning

really good at archery, right"It's just so-so, mostly depends on luck, I don't know how my luck is today.Ji Jingyuan chatted casually with them for a few words, and then the PD of the program group wa...After the opening song, most of the performers left the stage, leaving a few to keep the heat going. Ji-sung and D.O. dashed backstage with the help of their manager and assistant to quickly change into their EXO outfits. Their performance was just around the corner, the next show on their schedule.

It was still the performance of "MAMA," though the song isn't very popular, the audience below gave plenty of face, the cheers were especially loud, especially from the two fan camps belonging to EXO and Yuan, they almost wanted to hoarse their voices.

It's a shame that such passionate fans only got one group stage performance from EXO. After performing for just over three minutes, they took their leave.

The entire concert lasted for more than two hours. After all the program performances were over, all the ** Town artists appeared together and sang the ending song "Hope".

The artists weren't separated by different groups, but were all mixed together. They sang and joked with the people beside them.

Originally, Chi Jingyuan held a microphone and hid by the side, swimming. When the camera came over, he would smile and make lip movements, looking very happy.

To his surprise, before he could even bask in the glory for a moment, he was pulled away by Sunny and Taeyeon together, pushed to the front of the camera, singing and laughing at him.

Hyoeon somehow got a giant flower wreath and put it on Jikyeong's neck from behind, laughing and clapping frantically.

Fans were taking quick photos below, and the camera stayed fixed on them the whole time.

Chi Jingyuan felt helpless but maintained a business smile on his face. Standing with these three sisters, he finished singing the song facing the camera.

Fireworks lit up the sky once again as the family concert came to a close amidst thunderous applause.

After the family concert, there weren't any gatherings or meals. Everyone was tired after working so hard for the concert these past few days, and some of the groups weren't that familiar with each other.

After everyone said their goodbyes, they all went back home. However, EXO went back to their dorm for a small celebration, ordering lots of takeout like fried chicken, sweet and sour pork, and pizza. The twelve members had a great time together in the living room, the atmosphere was really lively.

…………

I told you, we'll see each other again soon.

Ki Chungsun held out his hand to Jeong Eonji who was walking towards him. The other party let out a soft hum and walked over with a smirk, forcefully clapping his hand, saying with unconvinced lips, “You're the only smart one, who doesn't know”

Today is October 2nd. Ji Chang Wook, who just finished participating in a family concert yesterday, is currently backstage at the Gyeongsangnam-do Culture and Arts Center in Hanam. The fifth Han River TV Drama Festival will be held here today. He has been nominated for several awards, including Best Male Newcomer, Best Female Newcomer, and Best Couple Award.

The Peninsula TV Drama Festival, also known as the Peninsula TV Drama Awards, is an annual awards ceremony hosted by the Peninsula TV Drama Committee. The awards are given to outstanding television dramas from terrestrial and cable television stations in the Peninsula within the past year. It started in 2007, took a break in 2009, and is now in its fifth edition.

Of course, in terms of importance, it can't compare to the prestigious Baeksang Arts Awards, the most prestigious award among all Korean television dramas.

The three most prestigious awards ceremonies in the Korean film industry are the Blue Dragon Film Awards, the Grand Bell Awards, and the Baeksang Arts Awards.

However, the first two awards are more niche and only focus on films.

Only Baeksang has set up awards for both film and television, so it is the highest award for a Peninsula drama.

And while the Television Drama Awards are below Baeksang, they're still a fairly well-known award. If you win, it will be written in an artist's Wikipedia entry and wouldn't be mocked by black fans from other agencies as a "wild" award.

And while Ji Chang-wook and Jung Eun-ji, the male and female leads of "Reply 1997," reunited at an awards ceremony less than two weeks after wrapping up filming for the drama.

Because "" became such a hit, and as the limited TV series that broke viewership records, it naturally earned quite a few accolades at the year-end awards season.

It's imaginable that due to "Reply 1988," at year-end award ceremonies, the two of them would definitely participate in many ceremonies together, getting to see each other every few days.

The organizer gave the two people a resting waiting room. Ji Jingyuan came earlier, and Zheng Eundi arrived with her manager just now. The two greeted each other with a smile.

Didn't you have a concert yesterday What was it like

After Jung Eun Ji entered, she sat down in front of the makeup table. She had already styled her hair and changed into a white dress before arriving. At this moment, she was checking her makeup to see if anything was damaged.

Before the awards ceremony begins, the two of them still have to walk the red carpet, which is very important for female artists, and they can't make any mistakes.

"Are you mocking me That wasn't my concert, it was ** Town's, EXO just had one stage."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at her.

Because she wore a white dress to the awards ceremony, she looked elegant and gentle. But when she opened her mouth, it ruined the overall impression.

It's such a waste of a dress, Chi Jingyuan thought to himself.

"What do you feel like performing in front of so many audiences at a concert Your focus is off!"

"It's okay, it's a little different from singing shows, but not much. I've performed in front of a live audience many times before."

"Oh my, a little envious. When can I hold a concert this big"

"When you're thirty or forty years old and want to retire from the industry, relying on a wave of nostalgia and subsidized cheap tickets should be hopeful."

"Damn it, you really…”

…………

"The 5th, Korea Drama Festival, Couple Award...Ji Chang Wook, Jung Eun Ji, Reply 1997, Ko Karahmida!"

To the thunderous applause and energetic accompaniment, Jung Eun Ji walked onto the stage with Park Kyung Won, standing before the microphone.

Jung Eun-ji seemed quite excited, her mouth was wide open, and her smile was radiant.

She's wearing combat boots that are fifteen centimeters high again today. Unsurprisingly, she's doing this to match Chi Jingyuan when they stand together. She'll probably wear this at every awards ceremony for the rest of the year.

It's really hard being a female artist.

Chi Jingyuan viciously thought to himself, as he attended the awards ceremony next time, whether he should put a five-centimeter insole.

They looked at each other and smiled. Chi Jingyuan gestured for her to speak first.

"We are deeply honored to receive this prestigious award from the organizers. It is truly a pleasure to be here today..."

"Thank you to my company ACUBE, thank you to CEO Choi and President Hong Seung-chul, thank you to the members of APK, thank you to my manager and all the staff, thank you to fans for your support…"

Though she was very excited, Jung Eun Ji spoke in a very organized manner, delivering a standard acceptance speech.

After speaking for a while, she bowed to the front and then looked over, gesturing that it was池景源's turn.

A burst of applause broke out, and Chi Jingyuan bowed his head slightly. This standing microphone was still a little too low.

He was in a black suit today, not quite the standard male cut, but a more youthful style. The sleeves were even adorned with silver patterns. Paired with his tall stature and styled face, when he appeared on the big screen, a wave of commotion arose below.

"Well, I'm very grateful to the organizers, and I'm honored to be here..." Qi Jingyuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Thank you to ** company, thank you to teacher Lee Soo Man, President Kim Young Min, thank you to our EXO members, thank you to the fans' support..."

Both winners delivered nearly identical acceptance speeches, filled with gratitude, just to different people.

This is also the standard acceptance speech at most award ceremonies, and others who win would basically say something similar.

Ji Jingyuan knew he would win this award before attending the ceremony. The organizers had notified him in advance. ** company also gave him a speech template for winners as a reference, telling him to just recite it if he didn't know what to say.

It may not be too outstanding, but it will definitely not disappoint.

The winner's speech at the Peninsula Drama Festival doesn't have to be too outstanding. If it were a higher-level award, like Baeksang, or if he didn't receive this kind of small award but something like Best Actor, a heavyweight award, Ji Chang Wook might improvise some words and share his own thoughts.

But for now, it's not needed.
