In order to compete with TVB's "Jinge Golden Melody Awards" for the right to speak and provide a platform for its artists, Hong Kong ViuTV held its first music awards ceremony "ChillClub Promotion List Annual Promotion 2021" on Sunday evening (18th). The results were not unexpected, ViuTV's idol group MIRARROR won 8 awards, becoming the biggest winner of this year's awards ceremony.
According to recent news reports by Hong Kong media, MIRROR won the annual group gold award, the group popularity Wang Jiang Tao won the annual male singer silver award, member Chen Zhuoxian won the annual male singer bronze award, member Liu Yingting won the best newcomer award, and their 4 songs won the Golden Melody Award.
Since the debut of the talent show "All the People Make Stars" in 2018, MIRROR has never won such a great honor in the Hong Kong music scene, so they were interviewed by the Hong Kong media with great enthusiasm and talked about the feelings of winning good results. "Happy to be able to get the award with my brother, today's award ceremony is of great significance, we want to thank the company, fans, family support." Member Anson Kong said.
Jiang Tao, the popular Wang who won the Silver Award for Male Singer of the Year, mentioned in his acceptance speech that he hoped that Hong Kong singers would become the first in Asia and successfully win the applause of young fans on the stage. And he said in an interview that the sentence was a bit rampant, and he regretted it a little when he said it, "I was a little scared when I said it at the moment." But this is my ideal, everyone has this goal and attitude, and I know that this hope will be realized. ”
Jer, a member who won the Best Newcomer Award, said that it is not too important to win the award, and it is very happy to see other newcomers who are serious about making music, "When I heard the results of the Newcomer Award, I was also surprised, because other newcomer friends are working hard to make music." I hope that fans will not only support MIRAR, but also support the local music scene. ”
After watching the results of the awards ceremony, I only had one feeling: after the TVB singers dominated the "Golden Song", ViuTV also held the awards ceremony as its own annual meeting.
Some Hong Kong netizens (non-ViuTV and MIRROR supporters) were also disappointed after seeing the results, believing that there was no difference between ViuTV's awards ceremony and TVB's "Golden Song", and only cared about their own people, and it was also a facade for outsiders to give the awards. "10 Golden Melody Awards, 5 Capitals to Their Own People!" Karen Mok's hit single "Breathing Harmful" is a TVB drama song, even if you don't give it to others, even Several Hit songs by Dear Jane "Galaxy Repairman" are not in? ViuTV host Lin Erwen actually won the gold award for female singer of the year, which is equivalent to the most popular female singer! What an insult to the Hong Kong music scene! One fan wrote angrily online. PS: The Female Singer of the Year Award was voted by 77,528 ViuTV members, and Lin Erwen received 15,558 votes.
It is worth mentioning that earlier "Oriental Daily" and "Hong Kong 01" reported that Xu Tingheng learned that he had great hopes of winning the Male Singer of the Year Award, and this time in order to participate in the award ceremony, even the mentor invitation of the old owner TVB's "Legend of Sound Dream" was temporarily withdrawn, and he did not expect to really come to the award ceremony, he only won a Golden Melody Award (there are 10 Golden Melody Awards) with "Powerless Feeling".
In addition, while participating in the award ceremony, ViuTV artists did not forget to continue to mock TVB to the media, and 193 (Guo Jiajun), who had just won the support of tens of thousands of local post-generation boys for taunting Zeng Zhiwei, once again said: "TVB Millennium Five Tigers is called Tai Niang, too old-fashioned." ”
