Chapter 960 - 958: Award-Sweeping Machine
"No need for that..."Nuonuo said as she picked up her phone to send celebratory messages to Little Treasure and her parents. When she messaged Da Bao, she specifically added a line, "Bro, no need for you to come over specifically, just focus on your own things, Si Jun will take me home after the event."
Nuonuo has always been against Da Bao and family members coming to support her at events, not because she doesn’t want her family to witness her joyful moments, but mainly to avoid giving the media a chance to write nonsense.
Of course, she knows that her parents or brother have the ability to suppress many negative remarks, but she doesn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble for them.
As for Si Jun, the Ji Family’s trust in him is about the same as in Tian Fang, the manager.
"Alright, then we’ll wait for you to come home and celebrate properly."
Da Bao replied, then didn’t send another word, probably really busy.
As for Si Han, after winning the Best Composer award, she held little hope of winning any subsequent awards. Her thinking was that since her other nominations didn’t stand a chance, the committee gave her this not-too-big-not-too-small consolation prize.
Thus, she went on stage to accept the Best Album award completely unprepared, and then unexpectedly grabbed the final big prize for Most Popular Female Singer.
The Best Album and Most Popular Female Singer were two of the three major awards that night, plus the Best Composer, making Si Han undoubtedly the biggest winner of the evening.
That fact, not only surprised Si Han herself, but also Young Master Ji, who was in the office simultaneously working and watching the live video stream, occasionally distractedly checking on the progress.
Of course, if he had known earlier that his precious Nuonuo would become the biggest winner of the evening, he would have disregarded Nuonuo’s wishes and personally accompanied her to attend the awards ceremony.
After the awards, Si Han held three trophies for a group interview, and once again, reporters played the same old tune.
"Si Han, you’ve won three major awards tonight and are the biggest winner. Could you break the rules this time and introduce him to everyone?"
Actually, until now, many people are still fantasizing about Si Han and Si Jun being a couple.
After all, the two standing together are just too well-matched.
It’s just that unexpectedly, when Mr. Ji stands alongside Si Han, the scene is much more beautiful than when Si Jun stands next to her.
Of course, these are all stories for later, while for now, Si Han smiles at the reporters’ questioning, "Yes, I’m an honest girl who keeps her word."
"Just break your word this once, we won’t blame you..." The reporters laughed, trying to coax sensational news out of Si Han.
But Si Han is famously tight-lipped. If she doesn’t want to speak, no matter how the media tries to inquire, she always has a way to dodge them.
This time was no different; the reporters’ aggressive questions were again deflected by Si Han’s high-level Tai Chi maneuvers.
In the upcoming days, various awards ceremonies and annual galas are one after another. As the darling of the fashion world and with outstanding achievements in film and music this year, Si Han is so busy she almost can’t find her bearings, previously circulating rumors about career burnout have been pushed away by the back-to-back work.
By the end of January, Si Han had already won ten awards from various big and small award ceremonies. These awards range in size, with the most prestigious ones being the Golden Music Festival awards and the Golden Lion Film Festival awards, held on February 1 and 2, respectively, both in Beijing.
Originally, Da Bao had planned a three-day holiday to accompany Si Han to these critical domestic music and film awards ceremonies. Yet, as plans can’t keep up with changes, the day before Nuonuo was set to depart, a large manufacturing plant under Ji Family Brand received a surprise pollution inspection notice. As the project manager, Da Bao naturally had to stay and guide the employees in response.
Tian Fang’s daughter was born in mid-January, and as she was currently in confinement, responsibility to accompany Si Han to Beijing fell naturally on Si Jun.
Little Treasure, hearing that brother couldn’t accompany sister to the awards, also inquired if Nuonuo needed his company.
Nuonuo shook her head and said no need. She treated it as her work, and Si Jun, as the boss’s assistant, is considered a colleague, so it’s normal for him to accompany her. But Little Treasure is family; it’s unnecessary for him to tag along.
Besides, such award ceremonies often last several hours, a torturous ordeal for an active young master like Little Treasure.
Little Treasure didn’t insist; anyway, brother would fly to Beijing after finishing his work, and if the flight is on time, he might even make it to the awards.
The Golden Music Festival awards more categories than other music awards, besides the usual newcomer awards, lyrics/composition awards, it also honors backstage productions such as Best Producer and Best Production awards. Additionally, ten songs released this year will be picked as the year’s ten golden hits.
With the previous awards as a precursor, Si Han has already become a hot candidate for various awards. Some even call Si Han the award-winning machine.
As the awards were announced one by one, unsurprisingly, Si Han won the Best Selling Album, Most Popular Female Singer, and Best Golden Song, all three major awards.
Once again, she became the biggest winner of the night, naturally becoming the focus of the entire event.
Although it was different awards ceremonies, the media she faced were pretty much the same, so after several confrontations, media reporters had given up trying to pry any privacy out of Si Han, finally asking seriously when she planned to release her next album.
To this, Si Han genuinely hadn’t thought it through.
"No plans at the moment, maybe because I’m quite spontaneous. The previous album was a sudden burst of inspiration, so I whimsically made it. The next one will probably wait until I have another burst of inspiration!"
Reporters assumed she was just trying to be coy, enticing interest to increase the mystery for the next album. After all, the entertainment industry is quite realistic, and everyone wants to make money while they’re popular, otherwise, who can guarantee they’ll still be in the limelight the next morning?
Little did they know, what Si Han said was indeed her current thought; she wasn’t even sure if she’d release another album.
Having finally dealt with the media, Nuonuo managed to return backstage to remove her makeup, even though there was a celebratory party after the awards ceremony. Today, the makeup artist had applied heavy makeup on her to match her red gown, and Nuonuo, who’s used to light makeup, almost couldn’t recognize herself in the mirror.
With a crowd of women in the makeup room, Si Jun probably didn’t fit, and after staying for a short while, he told Si Han he was going out for some air. As soon as he left, Si Han’s phone rang, and it was Ji Dabao, who hadn’t made a sound all day.
