Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 371 Green Dragon
"Bye, go back and have some rest."

Liu Zhimin saw the car parked on the side of the road, unbuckled her seat belt, turned her head and gave Quan Xuanhe instructions, her big eyes full of concern.

"Well, go to bed immediately when you get home."

Quan Xuanhe nodded with a smile on his face.

"I am leaving."

Liu Zhimin said one more sentence, feeling somewhat unsatisfied and reluctant to leave.

This opportunity is so rare. We only meet once in a few months, and I don’t know when the next time will be. The time in between is so unbearable.

The two of them chose to meet late at night. It would be difficult for them to meet and have dinner during the day like normal people.

"Let's go back."

Liu Zhimin pushed the door open and got out of the car. Before closing the door, she poked her little head out, a big smile on her palm-sized face. "Goodbye!"

She wrinkled her nose at Quan Xuanhe, smiled brightly, then closed the car door and walked back briskly.

Halfway through the walk, she turned her head to look back and saw that the car was still parked there. She stopped in her tracks, turned around and waved at him happily again.

The cute and lively performance is clearly visible.

She waited until she saw Quan Xuanhe roll down the car window and wave at her before she smiled again and walked back with a happy, bouncing step.

She is so happy today!

Liu Zhimin walked back with brisk steps, and finally changed to stealthy steps to return to the dormitory, feeling relieved that no one had discovered him.

So the next day, the members felt a slightly different Yoo Ji Min.

Jin Dongtian couldn't help looking at her. He felt that she was weird today and a little more lively than usual.

Liu Zhimin looked at Jin Dongtian with an overly lively smile, blinking his eyes, full of interest.

"Ernie seems to be a little abnormal today."

"is it?"

The smile on Liu Zhimin's face was still bright. She touched her face unconsciously, asking questions even though she knew the answer.

"Yes."

Jin Dongtian nodded, and saw that her aura was lively and cheerful.

"I don't know, maybe something good happened."

"Huh? Is this something you should say, unnie?"

Jin Dongtian frowned, and his expression and tone were speechless.

“hhhhh.”

Liu Zhimin laughed and patted the thin Jin Dongtian hard, causing her face to reveal an expression of pain involuntarily, "Ah...Ouni, what are you doing!"

Sometimes she really can't stand this crazy guy.

...

Although Kwon Hyun-hyuk is still negotiating with Louis Vuitton, the cooperation intention of both sides is certain, so the dress he wore to attend the 41st Blue Dragon Film Awards was still provided by Louis Vuitton.

He has had almost no exposure since the show ended. Under normal circumstances, popular Korean drama actors will usher in a bonus period after the show is broadcast and will be invited by advertisers to attend some offline activities. This is also for the sake of publicity by the brand to take advantage of the popularity, but in general it is mutually beneficial.

However, due to the epidemic, this offline exposure rate is gone, and by the time the filmed advertisements are released online, it is already too late to catch up with the hottest time.

That's why BH suggested that he hold an online fan meeting, update Instagram more often, increase the frequency of live broadcasts, select some loyal fans to support him, and create some good stories.

BH's team is still very reliable. Although they are not good at marketing, they are steady and solid in managing artists and rarely make mistakes.

The company's artist, Byeon Woo-seok, who later became very popular, was blocked at the airport by fans, which became a high-profile crisis. However, the company was able to suppress it and shift the blame to someone else. This shows that the public relations management ability of this artist is extremely good.

Wearing clothes provided by Louis Vuitton, Kwon Hyun Hyuk also wears a ring provided by Chaumet Paris. That’s basically all he has to wear today.

Chaumet is a high-end jewelry brand that we are currently in talks with. At present, we are in preliminary contact. The brand will provide individual items to test the waters and see how the popularity feedback is.

This brand is basically at the top of the jewelry brand contempt chain. Although its popularity is relatively lower than that of Cartier and Tiffany, its level of prestige is the highest.

The price is nearly 20 million Korean won, which is equivalent to nearly 100,000 RMB. The brooch worn on the chest is even more expensive. It is in the shape of a green leaf and is inlaid with diamonds, sparkling under the light.

This brand of jewelry is expensive to begin with, and we are still testing the waters now. If we get the endorsement and attend some big brand events, it will be a welcome moment of comparison, such as wearing jewelry worth millions or tens of millions of US dollars, etc., breaking the record of the highest value worn by celebrities, and so on. Look, how expensive my artist is and how high his commercial value is.

But in fact, this is useless. At most, it looks very intimidating and is used for marketing rather than practical significance. No one will really buy it, and the brand also knows that no one will buy it.

It is given a sky-high price tag to attract attention and to highlight the style of the brand and artist.

But it is indeed valuable for fans to brag about each other.

A diamond ring and a brooch are both products that are normally on sale. Let's see how popular they will be after they appear at an event like Qinglong.

Ordinary people certainly won’t care, but brands buy advertisements for one reason, one is for visibility, and the other is to reap the benefits of their fans. Female fans have strong purchasing power, and there are naturally many wealthy women among them. Even if there are no wealthy women, they can still make a few noises to increase the buzz, so it’s not a loss in any way.

Speaking of its relationship with Chaumet, it is actually also related to LVMH Group. This can be regarded as his relationship with it through YG, and the one who is close to the water gets the moon first.

In addition to this, there are watches, because the main audience of high-end luxury watches are still people with a certain status, and they focus more on evergreen actors such as the best actor and actress, commonly known as those who are very high-end.

The situation of high-end watch endorsements in South Korea is relatively limited, and resources are relatively scarce.

So it was not that a brand came to him on its own initiative, but someone recommended him to the relevant brand.

The road to high-end luxury is long, but he has been moving very fast and is already on the leading path. There is no need to rush for the rest, just take it slow and steady.

Kwon Hyun Hyuk put on what he needed to wear and took a nanny car all the way to Incheon to attend the Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony which was postponed due to the epidemic.

His popularity has been rising since he won several Best New Actor awards for his film "Innocence", and he has become a hot favorite for this year's Blue Dragon Best Newcomer award.

No one can compare to him in terms of popularity. Some of the others can't even write a few pages on Naver Encyclopedia. This is enough to show that he is far ahead in terms of popularity and fame.

But the Blue Dragon Film Awards is by far the most important awards ceremony in the film industry. The Daejong Film Awards are getting worse year by year, and the Baeksang Arts Awards are not as pure as the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

His superiority over his peers is reflected in his award-winning achievements. Some of his peers have not even been nominated, which naturally makes him an advantage.

The car drove smoothly all the way to Incheon, waiting to perform.

There are three people shortlisted from the Innocence crew, who also happen to be the three main actors, him, Bae Jong-ok who plays his mother, and Shin Hye-sun.

But what's a bit funny is that Shin Hye-sun couldn't even make it into the competition for Best Actress, so she had to settle for the competition for Best New Actress.

The competition this year is very fierce, and the competition for Best Actor and Best Actress is the most intense.

Kim Hee-ae, Ra Mi-ran, Jeon Do-yeon, Jung Yu-mi, and Shin Min-a are all popular contestants, and it is still uncertain who will win.

The Best Actor award is even more popular. Lee Byung-hun, Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae, and Yoo Ah-in are all experts.

The nominees this year are all films that have both box office success and critical acclaim, including The Ministers of Namsan, Kim Ji-young, Born 82, Deliver Me from Evil, and The Silent.

Innocence is not a good movie, it can only be said to be average.

Due to the epidemic, there were no visitors, and only a few media outlets filmed the sparse and bleak scenes on both sides.

Quan Xuanhe appeared in the middle of the show, so there was no need to rush and he waited leisurely in the parking lot.

One nanny car after another was filled with people from the entertainment industry who were attending today, including some senior behind-the-scenes people who needed to be made friends with.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, he and Park Jung-jung sat there chatting.

Just as Park Jung-jung was complaining to his mother about why he didn't go back to visit her during the Spring Festival, a staff member came up and knocked on the car door, and stood outside the car and shouted, "Get ready to go out."

The car slowly stopped in front of the red carpet. When there was a knock on the door, the car door slowly opened and Quan Xuanhe made a grand appearance.

Click, click, click, like bullets being fired, the flash lights kept shooting at him. Although there were not many media present, without exception, all of them pointed their cameras at him.

What is a little bit rare is that because of the miraculous effect of Kwon Hyun Hyuk's hit drama around the world, it has become a model product exported by South Korea on Netflix. There has been a lot of discussion about this in and outside the film and television industry, and the media has even issued press releases.

It’s not like there haven’t been Korean dramas on Netflix before, but what’s special about “True Beauty” is that it’s the most common type of Korean drama and has universal significance.

As the core figure and a new top star, Quan Xuanhe naturally received great attention.

"Next up is Quan Xuanhexi, who was nominated for the Best New Male Actor Award for his role in "Innocence." Earlier this year, he sparked a global craze of "goddesses descending" and "campus idols descending!"

The host introduced Quan Xuanhe who entered the venue in an excited tone.

He was wearing a slim-fit suit, and the brooch on his chest sparkled particularly brightly under the flash light, shining brightly against his dark suit.

He hurried past the red carpet, which was simple and even a bit shabby, and the process was completely formulaic. He even raised his hand and waved, pretending to casually reveal the diamond ring on his hand.

After gesturing to both sides, Quan Xuanhe was led by the staff to find the waiting room.

After taking a short rest in the waiting room, Quan Xuanhe got up and left, going to the open reception room.

"It's Xuanhe."

"I've been so busy lately that I don't even have time to look for you."

When Lee Jung-jae saw him, he smiled warmly and waved at him. The people around him also looked at Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

“This is Jungmin, don’t you recognize him?”

Kwon Hyun Hyuk looked over and saw Hwang Jung Min standing next to him. They were both nominated for the same film, so it was not surprising that they were together at this time.

He greeted Hwang Jung-min, and Lee Jung-jae introduced him to him. Hwang Jung-min was very considerate and patted his shoulder with a warm smile on his face.

"He's so tall that I have to look up at him. He seems to be almost as tall as Kwang Soo."

"I'm 1.9 meters tall, a little shorter than Kwang Soo."

Quan Xuanhe said with a smile.

Then, Lee Jung-jae introduced the directors around him to him and greeted them one by one.

"You've been busy lately after filming, right?"

"It's ok. I've been filming other things. I haven't decided on the next work yet."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk understood what was going on, as if he could guess what Lee Jung-jae was going to say next, and revealed the news in advance.

"Oh, come and star in my movie. My movie is just missing a handsome guy like you."

Lee Jung-jae took the initiative to extend the invitation.

Upon hearing this, Quan Xuanhe of course understood and agreed without much hesitation.

"No problem, bro, send me the shooting schedule and I'll adjust my schedule."

Lee Jung-jae mentioned the preparations for his first directorial work as early as last year during a meal while filming Squid Game, and it looks like the project is about to start this year.

"hunting"

"You agreed so readily, it would be a shame if you were just here for a cameo."

Huang Zhengmin on the side looked at Lee Zhengzai and teased.

"Ah, you." Lee Jung-jae looked at Hwang Jung-min and said bluntly, "You're just a guest star."

His first film was star-studded, almost all of whom were familiar faces. He used all his connections. It is extremely rare for a male actor to switch careers and become a director, so he is very ambitious.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the few people dispersed. Someone came up to Quan Xuanhe, handed him a business card, and tried to get close to him and start a conversation.

Although he didn't know the whole story, Kwon Hyun-hyuk didn't refuse. He just chatted with them to find out more. He only left when he saw Lee Byung-hun.

"Bingxian, I wish you win the Best Actor award today."

Lee Byung-hun smiled and nodded at him, patting his shoulder. "You too."

He is indeed a hot favorite this year. His acting in the movie "Ministers of Nanshan" swept all award ceremonies and he is a hot favorite for the Best Actor.

"This is Director Kim Kyu-tae, this is the director of Studio Dragon, and this is..."

Lee Byung-hun intentionally brought him around, and through this, he got to know some senior people in the industry.

As luck would have it, Kwon Hyun Hyuk met Lee Sung Kyung here again. She was invited to appear as the award presenter.

"I've been seeing you quite often lately."

Kwon Hyun Hyuk looked at Lee Sung Kyung, who was wearing high heels and a black dress and had a tall and slender figure.

"This is a blessing, you know? We're the perfect couple, and I'm here to present you with the Best Newcomer award. This is destiny, and you'll definitely win it."

Lee Sung Kyung laughed heartily, and she couldn't help licking her lips when she saw Kwon Hyun Hyuk.

Among the eight best couples in Korean dramas in 2020 selected by Soompi, their CP ranked second only to Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin.

After communicating with a group of people he knew and didn't know backstage, Kwon Hyun Hyuk stuffed several business cards into his pocket. After Lee Byung Hun introduced him to some more people, this year's Blue Dragon Awards ceremony officially opened on time.

"In 2019, the number of Korean moviegoers was 110 million, while last year, it was only 40 million. Under such circumstances..."

Song Joong-ki was on the stage as the opening guest, delivering the opening words, which were broadcast to all parts of the world through the camera.

At the red carpet event that just ended, some of his fan sites and marketing accounts were the first to post photos of the red carpet.

There are many people on the Korean Internet who are following this award ceremony, but there are not many people overseas. At most, they are waiting for the list of winners to come out, or for the edited clips.

The favorites are always popular, and because of Kwon Hyun Hyuk's popularity that cannot be ignored, the Best New Film award has also attracted much attention.

Winning the Best New Film Award with great traffic seems to be a rare thing that has brought both fame and fortune.
