Chapter 379 Anecdotes of the Celebration Banquet
After the Best Actor Award, the Best Actress Award was won by Jeon Do-yeon for "Birthday".
The final grand prize, the best work, was won by "Parasite", which had both box office and word-of-mouth success.
At this point, the 56th Grand Bell Awards has come to a successful conclusion.
Except for the two awards of Best Actor and Best Actress, "Parasite" swept all the other heavyweight awards.
In the eyes of insiders, the biggest winner tonight is undoubtedly "Parasite".
However, in the eyes of outsiders, the most glorious one is none other than Jin Qixuan.
In one night, the nominated clips alone appeared 24 times.
Not to mention that the director gave him frequent shots, and he won the Grand Bell Grand Slam and his third Best Actor trophy.
Anyone who saw it would sigh "outrageous"!
After the award ceremony.
Kim Qixuan met with directors Lee Ji-eun and Han Dong-wook and went to the celebration banquet after the award ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, there will be a celebration banquet after each of the three grand prizes.
Due to the sponsorship methods and the reasons behind them, the banquets of the three major awards have different focuses.
To put it simply, there are all kinds of business figures in the Qinglong Banquet.
In Baeksang Banquet, the political atmosphere can be more intense.
As for Dazhong Yan, it is more inclined to academia.
Therefore, compared to the celebration banquets of the first two, Jin Qixuan preferred to attend the bell celebration banquet.
Not only was the Big Bell Banquet reopened after four years of suspension, but the most important thing was that these people and professors were all his elders.
Before, very few artists attended the Grand Bell Awards for several consecutive years, and no one came to the celebration banquet, which only added to the laughing stock.
But this year is different.
The actors were stimulated by the manipulation of the Grand Bell Awards organizing committee last year, and attendance surged.
Although not all the artists nominated for the works were present, at least they were much better than before.
So, this Dazhong Banquet has a certain meaning of "setting sail again".
The celebration banquet was held in the cafeteria of Kyung Hee University, which was a buffet style.
Of course, the dishes must be better than the original dishes in the university cafeteria, and they are not all made of grass...
But in fact, no one cares about the quality of the dishes.
On such occasions, eating must be the least important thing.
In addition to relevant actors and directors, performing idols, and singers, the others present tonight are the Ministry of Culture and Tourism behind the organizer of the Grand Bell Awards + members of the nine major film associations, and professors on the jury them.
An artist’s acquaintance with political officials or business tycoons may cause some trouble, and may also lead to criticism from netizens or the media.
But it's different with professors.
The professor's status in the peninsula is very high.
It is no exaggeration to say that when a certain female artist encountered unspoken rules, it was revealed that the reputation of a certain professor was more effective than a gangster.
That's why.
At the celebration banquet, each professor was surrounded by a group of people.
Of course, professors are not always nice to everyone.
After all, the peninsula's system has accustomed these scholars to have a higher level of attention than ordinary actors and idols.
However, this situation does not exist for Jin Qixuan.
Because, he is the descendant of the professors from the Actors Guild, Genzheng Miaohong, and he can be regarded as having benefited from the mentor Jin Qixuan.
Because of this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they saw Jin Qixuan sucking away all the professors like a magnet.
Some things are one thing to think about, another thing to hear others talk about them, and another thing to see them with your own eyes.
At this moment, some actors who followed the trend of boycotting Jin Qixuan realized a problem that they had always ignored.
It seems that Jin Qixuan is not only an actor, but also a fashion icon...
He is also a PhD candidate at Chung-Ang University.
If nothing else, becoming a professor in the future is a sure thing.
By that time, it can be said that the offense and defense are out of position.
How old is Jin Qixuan? He can definitely take a break for a few years and attend the three awards jury. It’s disgusting.
This kind of thing has never happened before.
For example, the issue of who will win the Best Actor Award at this year’s Grand Bell Awards.
Did Kim Qixuan’s acting skills really surpass Seol Kyung-gu and Song Kang-ho?
Not necessarily.
There are many factors involved in selecting awards, and acting is just one of them.
When faced with similar options, the jury will definitely favor the one they like more.
The circle culture in Peninsula is very serious, and the film circle is no exception.
Therefore, when thinking about the future scenes, some actors suddenly became uneasy.
Actually, it is very simple to break Jin Qixuan's conspiracy.
You can do it with money.
Just give sponsorship to the nine major film associations.
The government is behind the Grand Bell Award, and all expenditures are issued by the Revitalization Committee.
The money saved will naturally be divided equally among the nine major associations and receive kickbacks together.
The Grand Bell Award declined because the president of the Federation of Filmmakers did not give rebates to other families.
Then the Directors Guild, together with several other associations, demanded that actors not be allowed to attend.
Subsequently, the Grand Bell Awards did not award awards to actors who did not attend, causing its credibility to become increasingly low.
The actors also went from being forced not to attend at the beginning to voluntarily not attending at the end.
The ultimate reason is all because of that little money.
Actually, the Grand Bell Award does not spend much money to hold an event.
The venue is the Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University, the staff are from various associations, and the trophies are given one by one.
Labour costs account for the majority.
In the end, the kickbacks received by the nine major associations were actually only about 200 million won.
However, with just such a small amount of money, Big Bell Awards almost went bankrupt.
It was precisely last year that Jin Qixuan brought huge attention and brand sponsorship to the Grand Bell Awards, which gradually brought it back to life.
With money, the previous conflicts between the nine major associations are no longer conflicts.
After all, what is eternal is always profit.
So, as long as these people's appetites are satisfied, they can naturally continue to boycott Jin Qixuan.
But, the key is, this is too expensive.
Originally, the purpose of boycotting Jin Qixuan was to gain benefits, but as a result, a lot of money was spent on it, which was completely putting the cart before the horse.
In Peninsula, the most profitable thing for actors is not their salary, but advertising endorsements.
Those middle-aged and elderly drama stars don’t get any good advertisements at all, so they can only keep filming and appearing in variety shows all year round.
For example, the well-known Cheng Dongyi, he is considered to be the top earner among these veteran actors.
But compared with the income of powerful idols such as Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien, it is also very different.
A real example is that Li Zhien’s income from a few concerts is equivalent to Cheng Dongyi’s income in two or three years.
No one's money comes from the strong wind. It is really not a wise move to struggle with money just to vent your anger.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, the balance in everyone's mind couldn't help but begin to tilt.
Some people even went over to congratulate Jin Qixuan with wine glasses.
Seeing the endless stream of people toasting around him, Jin Qixuan secretly glanced at Li Zhien next to him.
After receiving the signal, Li Zhien pretended not to hold the wine glass firmly and spilled the wine on Jin Qixuan's clothes.
Jin Qixuan: "..."
Although, this suit of clothes is a new model co-branded with Gucci, so there is no need to lose money.
But he was still speechless about Li Zhien's silly behavior.
Looking at Jin Qixuan who was splashed and stunned on the spot, Li Zhien also realized that he seemed to have received the wrong signal.
So, his big eyes rolled around twice, and he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, pretending to be innocent.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan tried his best to resist the urge to blow her brains out, and quickly confessed to the people around him.
"Sorry, excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom to take care of it." "Sorry..."
Li Zhien also quickly confessed to the people around him and slipped out of the social vanity fair closely behind Jin Qixuan.
Looking at Jin Qixuan’s back, the people around him looked at each other.
They are not blind, they can clearly see Li Zhien's little moves.
However, they were all hybrids, so everyone just pretended not to see them.
“What did you mean by that look just now?”
Outside the court, Li Zhien asked while wiping Jin Qixuan's clothes.
“That’s what it means.”
“Really?”
Hearing this, Li Zhien raised his eyes, blinked and said.
“Really.”
No matter what the process is, at least the result is what Jin Qixuan wants now, that’s it.
"Oh."
Li Zhien nodded doubtfully. She always felt that Jin Qixuan was not telling the truth.
But it did not affect the sweetness in her heart.
"Are you hungry?"
"A little hungry."
"Let's go back and have something to eat."
"No." Li Zhien shook his head and said, "I want to go home and eat roasted pig's trotters later."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, then looked at his watch and said:
“I called the chef during the intermission, and they are already baking. By the time we get home, we should be able to catch the best taste.”
"Yeah."
Since there was no one around, Li Zhien leaned into Jin Qixuan's arms without any scruples and whispered.
Actually, her behavior is very unfriendly to singles.
Fortunately, they were outside the field blowing the evening breeze, and no one paid attention to it.
"My album will be released next month, and I will be on a variety show to promote it. I'm afraid I won't be able to control the show. Would you like to go with me?"
"Next month? Me I thought you were going to post it in time for the first snowfall.”
Her album is called "Lovepoem".
The romantic connotation of Chuxue perfectly complements the title of her new album. If it can be released at a certain time, it will definitely be a major selling point.
“Eh?”
Hearing this, Li Zhien raised his head in his arms, blinked and said:
"Isn't your major in drama? Why does it feel like marketing to me?"
"I thought you were You’re praising me.”
"Of course it's a compliment!"
After saying that, Li Zhien thought for a while and continued:
"How about I send it on your birthday, that way there is a better chance of catching the first snow. Bigger.”
"Ah, Li Zhien, you are so handsome when you pretend to be public and serve your own interests!"
"Hehe~"
Li Zhien didn't care at all about Jin Qixuan's teasing, and was even a little smug that she could draw inferences.
"So, what about being on a variety show?"
"It's easy to say, my crew will be wrapping up filming at that time. If it doesn't work, I'll take a leave."
"You're so kind~"
Hearing this, Li Zhien suddenly became as happy as a child, jumping around with his arms around Jin Qixuan's neck.
Because Li Zhien was dancing, her shoes accidentally stepped on Jin Qixuan's leather shoes.
As the saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart, and the same goes for the toes. Plus, she wears high heels, so the pain doubles.
As a result, Li Zhien's ankle crooked and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan, not caring about the pain in his toes, quickly took the clumsy little penguin into his arms.
“Ah, so stupid.”
"I, I, I..."
Li Zhien was also fooled by himself. He was so embarrassed that he huddled in Jin Qixuan's arms, not daring to look up.
Looking at the ostrich in his arms, Jin Qixuan smiled and stopped teasing her.
After a while, Li Zhien calmed down and asked in a low voice:
"Does your foot still hurt?"
"It hurts so much that you can't walk anymore."< br>
Jin Qixuan pretended to be in pain and said:
"It hurts so much. I feel like my foot is going to be broken. I may have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair."
"Wheelchair? ”
Hearing this word, Li Zhien subconsciously thought of Jin Qixuan in a wheelchair.
"I remember Oppa Sheng Bingxu told me, that wheelchair company asked you to endorse it again?"
Jin Qixuan really didn't keep up with Li Zhien's brain circuit.
Previously, when he won his first Best Actor trophy with "My First Class Brother", the wheelchair endorsement company approached him.
This time, in "When a Man Falls in Love", he also has a wheelchair-bound scene.
So, this wheelchair brand saw the opportunity and came to the door again.
However, considering image issues, Sheng Bingxu declined again.
“There is such a thing, but I refused.”
“Oh.”
Li Zhien nodded, then looked at the time and said:
"Let's go back, it's a bit cold outside."
"Okay, but I can't walk, you have to carry me. ”
"This..."
Li Zhien looked around, with a troubled look on his face.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to carry it, but that Jin Qixuan was too tall and she was too short. She was afraid that if she bent down, they would fall apart together.
Moreover, even if she was carried into the dinner party by Jin Qixuan, there would be no need to cancel the hot search tomorrow.
Just thinking about it made Li Zhien dig her toes into the ground in shame.
Looking at Li Zhien’s unpredictable little face, Jin Qixuan knew that she had nothing good in mind, so he teased:
"If you don't carry me, then I will just lie here and let others laugh at me."
"Yeah!"
Looking at Jin Qixuan acting rogue, Li Zhien raised his hand and punched him in the chest.
Since she didn't use any force, Jin Qixuan didn't pretend either, and joked:
"We Zhien are really kind-hearted people. We were afraid that the beating would hurt me, so we hit me with the palm of our hands."
"You... …”
Li Zhien raised his fist, then slowly released it, and said angrily:
"I won't let you hug me tonight."
"..."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan put away his playful smile, straightened his expression, and skipped towards the venue.
Li Zhien:? ? ?
Looking at Jin Qixuan's back, which was walking as fast as flying, Li Zhien's mouth twitched, but without saying anything, he quickly followed him on high heels.
Because Jin Qixuan came in 'jumping'.
Therefore, it naturally attracted most people’s attention.
“Hey Yigu, what’s wrong with your feet?”
"Hey, this is really hard to describe in words..."
Jin Qixuan waved his hand with a sigh on his face.
He had the excuse of dirty clothes + injured feet, coupled with his actor-level performance.
Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien also naturally left in advance.
Go home and enjoy their world together.
