"Metro Hit Awards Ceremony 2024" broke the framework of previous music award ceremonies and used the theme of "Our Pride" in the music world and sports world for the first time, in order to express gratitude to all the athletes from Hong Kong, China who participated in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as every singer and behind-the- scenes heroes who have contributed to the music scene. Hins Cheung King Hin won the Gold Award for "Hit Creative Singer", the "Hit Singer of the Year" award and the "Hit Song of the Year" award for THE LAST MAD SURGE OF YOUTH at the Metro Hit Awards 2024 yesterday, becoming the big winner with 3 individual awards. Terence Lam Ka Him and Gin Lee Hung Ngai became the gold medal winners of "Hit Male and Female Singers".
The first report card of the music scene this year was distributed yesterday by the "Metro Hit Awards Ceremony 2024", which presented a total of 67 awards. In addition to more than 100 singers attending this year's "Metro Hit Awards Ceremony 2024", 21 outstanding athletes including Sarah Lee Wai Sze, Juanita Mok Uen Ying, Rafeek Kikabhoy (Ho Won Fai), Lynn Zhang Ling, Minnie Soo Wai Yam, Yip Pui Yin, Christy Yiu Kit Ching, etc., as well as the "Chief instructor of the Ng Family Chinese Martial Arts Association" Philip Ng Wan Lung served as the award presenter. Many sports and music scene elites shared the stage on a rare occasion.
Cheung King Hin, Gin Lee, Vincy Chan (Wing Yee), Lam Ka Him, Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun, Jason Chan Pak Yu, Phil Lam Yik Hon, AGA Kong Hoi Ka, the pregnant Grace Wong Kwan Hing and members of MIDLIFE SING AND SHINE and STAR ACADEMY Chantel Yiu Cheuk Fei, Yumi Chung Yau Mei, Windy Zhan Tianwen, Aska Cheung Chi Ho, Archie Sin Ching Fung, Felix Lam Chi Lok, Albert Chau Kat Pui, Ramon Lo (Law Kai Ho), etc., nearly 100 singers participated in the "Metro Hit Awards Ceremony 2024" yesterday. However, all the artists and singers of Media Asia, Warner, and ViuTV were absent; but absent singers still won awards. They included the TVB frozen (suspended) Gigi Yim Ming Hei, Jackson Wang, MIRROR member Ian Chan Cheuk Yin. Jackson Wang's song FEELING LUCKY with Korean female singer BIBI was awarded the "Hit Airplay Index Song", and he sent a thank you video. In the end Emperor Entertainment swept up 13 awards, followed by Sony Music with 10, Universal Music and All About Music with 7 awards.
"Big Winner" Cheung King Hin also won the "Hit Singer of the Year" award again. He said that he has not attended the award show in two years and it felt like a a party. He was very happy, and hug DJ "Pear" Barry Yip Man Fai backstage. He recalled that when he first entered the industry 20 years ago, he already participated in his radio's program and felt a sense of affection. He no longer remembered if he only missed the rookie award at this award show. Speaking of the absence of many record companies this time, he thought nothing could be done because many changes have taken place in the music scene over the years. He personally did not like arguments or unpleasantness, because he felt that the industry was already very narrow. Of course each award ceremony platform has its own mechanism, but having encouragement and more exposure opportunities for newcomers were good. The most important thing was harmony as a whole. "Sometimes it's very hard to say who is helping who, many singers can't get into the other award shows' mechanism. I feel great about winning an award here. Lately I have been working with Korean artists and realized that the world is very big. We should enlarge our own hearts more." He added, "My goal is to be able to attend. As long as the media and fans don't give up on me, I will continue to attend the award ceremonies." He stated that this year he decided to retreat and not campaign for votes, feeling that the biggest challenge was not work but family. Referring to some of his family problems he revealed earlier, he said that it was difficult to make family matters public; but as his parents got older and their health began to decline, he began to feel that the burden on his shoulders as an only child was very heavy. He would not regard it as a burden though, and hoped to accompany his parents and travel more with his family next year. They just moved back to Hong Kong and he hoped for peace in the world. When Hin Jai met Jeffrey backstage, the two even excitedly took a photo together.
Cheung King Hin has always picked Chau Yan Ting to win with FORTUNE OF THREE LIFETIMES, praising him for his singing and looks. He thought Chau Yan Ting was a very determined singer with heart. He always said that Heaven would reward diligence, keep working hard and never giving up were the keys to victory. "Earlier for the Commercial Radio Ultimate Awards My Favorite Song, I selfishly want Lam Ka Him's THE LAST DANCE theme song to win. This song is top notch in its vision and taste, bringing pop song to another level. Actually my SEASONS and UNDER THE CHERRY BLOSSOM were not big hits back then either, they required time to become fine wine."
Gin Lee won the Female Gold and Song Awards. Speaking of joining Emperor for two years, she kept winning awards. She admitted that for the past two years she kept charging ahead and felt very fulfilled. She would wait until after the award shows to settle her emotions. She was very happy that her parents were there to witness in person in the first row and hoped that she could be the pride of her parents. She denied that she already knew that she would win in advance, explaining that whenever her parents were in Hong Kong, she would ask them to support her at the award shows every time. She revealed that she now only eats one meal a day in order to get into her award ceremony dress. She joked that she was very hungry, but needed to continue this hunger mode until she would complete another award ceremony on New Year's Day.
Her record company Emperor won a total of 13 awards. When Gin Lee's fellow label mates Tang Siu Hau, Arvin Tsang Ngo Fei, Dark Wong Ming Tak and girl group VIVA took the stage to accept the awards, they did not forget to thank the late executive Shirley. Siu Hau even looked up to the sky many times to hold back her tears.
In addition to winning the men's gold, Lam Ka Him also won the "Hit Album of the Year"; both were major awards. He said that he was very happy and felt worthy of these two awards, because he was excessively diligent last year. He has never released so many years since his career started. Was it because earlier a music scene elder referred to him as wasted youth? Ka Him said that he no long recalled and stressed that they were unrelated. Referring to the fact that the theme song of the movie THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) was not nominated for the Song Award, he described the results as "the standard has been exceeded" (the goal has exceeded expectations). As Dayo Wong Tze Wah said, the box office has exceeded expectations, which is a rare occurrence in a thousand years. "If in the future a movie feels I am suitable, my door would always be open." As for Cheung King Hin picking him as a favorite, he said that if Cheung King Hin had the magic touch being the right choice would be decent.
Ngai Chun Sun received the "Hit Singer of Excellence" and with the song FURNITURE won a Hit Song award. He felt that he could answer to the team and also thanked Cheung King Hin for praising his song BEFORE SUNSET. He really wanted the opportunity to collaborate. As for the upcoming award shows he would go with the flow. Next year he would continue to work hard on every song. He was an independent singer, producing each song was very expensive. With the poor market now, he would think of ways to save a little on music but would not lower the quality.
STAR Academy Little Flowers and After Class members Chantel Yiu Cheuk Fei, Yumi Chung Yau Mei and Windy Zhan Tianwen won a total of 7 awards with their fellow students Archie Sin Ching Fung, Felix Lam Chi Lok, Aska Cheung Chi Ho and Hugo Wong Yik Bun at the "Metro Hit Awards", with Lam Chi Lok and Chantel winning the Gold Award in the "Hit Leaping Male and Female Singers" respectively. Sin Ching Fung won the Bronze Award in the "Leaping Male Singers" category. Chantel has spent most of this year studying in New Zealand and has to cross the ocean to juggle her performance career, so she said on stage that winning the award was a miracle.
Chantel revealed that she did not know whether she would stay in Hong Kong or study abroad yet, but she would participate in a stage play in June. She also appealed to fans not to send her the "Little Elephant Fei" that symbolized her fans, and proposed that they could write letters instead of gifts. She also said that her girl group After Class formed by Windy, Yumi and Gigi Yim Ming Hei has not been together for a long time. She hoped to have the opportunity to "form the group" next year.
As for Yumi, Windy and Hugo Wong Yik Bun, they won the gold, silver and bronze awards for the "Hit Generation Z Music Power Dance Singer". Cheung Chi Ho became one of the "Top Ten Singers of Excellence". With both her studies and career Yumi might have dark circles under her eyes, but still put in an effort when she danced and sang.
Emperor girl group VIVA took the lead yesterday as the first group to take the stage to receive the Gold Award for "Hit New Band/Group", while the silver and bronze awards went to MATCH and Emperor's band Locksmiths. VIVA member Carina said that her mind was blank when they won the award. "When I attended the award ceremony I thought I was ready, but actually I wasn't. Thank you to the company for giving us the opportunity. We debuted at the end of May, then we have been on big and small stages, and tried to shoot live broadcasts and dormitory films. I think this year has been so fulfilling, and the award is the icing on the cake." Macy said that she was nervous and overwhelmed when the results were announced. "I feel like I have taken a step forward after winning the prize, and the pressure grew." All 4 girls said in unison that they wanted to take 4 or 5 days off to celebrate.
