Chapter 43: The Strange MKMF (Part I)
'08 is MKMF's 10th anniversary, but unfortunately the atmosphere of the festival is not obvious.
Because the organizer's intention to share the cake is too obvious, it has been questioned by the public in recent years, and the credibility has also plummeted. However, the song awards of the three major stations have just withdrawn from history and have been fully upgraded to a song celebration celebration. So if you want to watch the song award ceremony, the people don't actually have much choice.
Melon saw this opportunity, and seeing that its roots were growing stronger, he was determined to materialize the music awards next year. Completely suppress other competitors in terms of momentum and stabilize their leadership position.
Therefore, the scale of this year's MKMF has hit a record low, except for the few who want to win awards and newcomers who need stage opportunities. Who else would take it upon themselves to participate?
Although Ko Yun-ha has a nomination for Best Female Singer, will Mnet not award this to her own Lee Hyo-ri, but to her, an outsider? Not to mention IU Lee Ji-eun, Mnet just launched Davichi this year, and she can't even get the nomination.
As for Cheon Myung-hoon, Mnet was graciously invited. At least when Davichi was launched, Cheon Myung-hoon and LOEN were very dedicated, and they had to give face to themselves. But Cheon Myung-hoon was a little hesitant and did not give a reply for a long time.
MKMF is too short before the song is released, if you attend the award ceremony at this time, should MKMF nominate itself? But this kind of nomination belongs to the pure denominator, and it is impossible to get the award, which makes people inevitably feel a little strange when they see it.
But it is impossible for MKMF not to nominate him. Because if there is not even a nomination, why should Cheon Myung-hoon participate again?
But who would have thought that Cheon Myung-hoon's second album would have such a momentum after that? What about a small nomination? Even if he won the award, it wouldn't cause too much criticism.
Cheon Myung-hoon finally decided to attend, so why bother thinking about things so complicated? Will other artists come, isn't it good that they are all people they are familiar with? And taking a step back, it's not bad to watch a concert for free.
It's about to be filmed in a TV series, and then there's endless publicity. Cheon Myung-hoon will not go to the year-end ceremony of the three major stations, and if you miss this opportunity to meet, it will be difficult to see each other again!
Qian Mingxun has a very special status in the circle, which is known to most people. Except for his own frequent fans, no one would regard him as an ordinary artist. An awards ceremony is a big deal, and it doesn't even involve actual benefits. Not to mention the attribution of an award, it is too unwise to dwell on this.
On November 15th, Cheon Myung-hoon didn't get up very early. He didn't need to be there for the rehearsal, and Mnet didn't design the stage for him. Because there are performances that must win awards, this is an unwritten rule in the circle.
Goo Hye-sun's agency is YG, and she knows these things well. Lee Min Ho has also been working for a few years. Only Lee Jong Suk's two guys didn't understand, and they specially sent a congratulatory text message, saying that they were waiting to watch his brother's performance at night.
Cheon Myung-hoon didn't say much, just expressed his gratitude. There is no way to explain this kind of thing, and the more you explain it, the more you can't explain it.
There is no contact with a female artist as a companion, and there is no intention to postpone the appearance. After putting on makeup after dinner in the afternoon, Cheon Myung-hoon left. The venue remains the same as the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Stadium, and the streets near the venue are subject to traffic control.
The stadium is brightly lit in front of the main gate and has a small podium. After the guests walked through the red carpet and signed and photographed, they stopped at the rostrum for a while to be interviewed by the host. There are a few minor awards that will be awarded here, but I don't think it has much to do with Chimyeong-hoon.
"Guys, there's a new notice. The hostess said loudly, "Another star has come to our venue! Thank you very much to our hard-working staff, who always tell us the news as soon as possible." ”
The male host also chimed in: "That's right, the car has arrived on the red carpet." Let's look forward to who it will be......"
Journalists and fans are already on standby, with long guns and short guns ready to go.
"Wow, if you read that right...... That's right! It is indeed the 'national brother' Myeonghoon that we are looking forward to!"
"Really, when did the national brother get the title!" The hostess said with some complaints, "Our Mingxun has become a lyrical prince, a man who can shake a woman's heart by singing!"
"That's right, this new album is amazing! Today, Myung-hoon is also our MKMF ...... Best Male Singer, Best Album and many other candidates. ”
When the three hosts said a word, Qian Mingxun had already walked through the red carpet and came to the rostrum.
"Hello Myeongxunxi!"
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Nice to meet you!"
"Kangsang Hamida ......" Cheon Myung-hoon approached and shook hands with the three of them, and sat down in the middle of the sofa as indicated.
"Myeongxunxi, I'm very curious about one thing. The hostess quickly asked, "Are you familiar with Liu Shiyunxi, he has been showing off to us just now......"
Qian Mingxun smiled after hearing this: "Well, it can be regarded as a long-term friendship...... I often see it on TV, and it's very familiar......"
Liu Shiyun was stunned for a moment, and then took over the conversation: "Yes, I also listen to Mingxunxi's songs every day, and we are quite familiar with each other......
After hearing this, everyone smiled and turned the topic over.
Regarding Qian Mingxun's answer, Liu Shiyun was very surprised. After all, Cheon Myung-hoon is not a variety artist, and there are not many such experiences. In the face of such a sudden question, you should subconsciously answer it.
So Liu Shiyun was ready to hear a tactful or humorous denial. His ass was even halfway up, ready to stand up and "admit his mistake". But Qian Mingxun actually gave him the step down, and even gave him enough face.
If these words came from Rain and the like, Liu Shiyun would not be surprised. But judging from Qian Mingxun's age and experience, he is really exquisite, and he is talented.
Liu Shiyun turned on the storm in his brain, and quickly came up with a way to repay: "Myungxun Xi is already filming "Boys Over Flowers", is there any news you can reveal to us?"
Because this is a problem outside the script, the other hosts are a little surprised. While this has nothing to do with today's MKMF, there's no denying that it's a good question, especially for the reporters in the audience. Many of the young girls at the scene also screamed.
This problem happened suddenly, and Cheon Myung-hoon was unprepared at all: "The atmosphere of the crew is very good, and the shooting is also going well." I'll see you in the coming year, so please look forward to it......"
"Inside!"
It's time to enter, and Cheon Myung-hoon salutes and prepares to leave. Liu Shiyun stepped forward and hugged him and said again that we were very close. It's just a show for now, but I'm sure I'll get close to it soon.
