Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 372: Breaking Up Now

【Can I win the prize this time? 】

【have no idea…】

[Please take it down. I really beg Qinglong to open his eyes.]

【Chebai...】

The communication among fans is very close. Overseas fans are actually not as able to understand the situation of Blue Dragon in Korea as Koreans. They only vaguely know that this is the most prestigious award ceremony in Korea after being educated.

In terms of popularity, he has surpassed other candidates, has a large number of supporters, and is also highly recognized by professionals.

Quan Xuanhe sat in the audience and waited patiently for the show to start. The seats were still one meter apart and they wore masks. Selected online audiences were watching on the big screen on one side, and the host's voice echoed throughout the venue.

After the announcement of some small awards at the beginning, it was time to announce the Best New Actor.

Generally speaking, the Newcomer Award is the first award presented at the awards ceremony.

"Next, actors Park Hae-soo and Lee Sung-kyung will announce the winner of the Best New Actor Award."

After host Yoo Yeon-seok spoke, the two of them appeared from one side.

The camera gave close-ups of the two people respectively. The sensible director cut to Kwon Hyun Hyuk's face after giving the shot to Lee Sung Kyung.

In the audience, he saw his face appear on the big screen and responded with a smile through his mask.

After the two of them came on stage and finished their warm-up speeches, they showed the shortlisted clips one by one. The clip in which Kwon Hyun Hyuk was shortlisted was naturally his highlight moment, and it was part of the monologue he performed opposite Shin Hye Sun.

This scene is still being boasted about by fans. I won’t say how amazing it is, but the reversal of his handsome face to a talented actor is very impressive.

The judges actually have this kind of complex. They are like Leonardo DiCaprio, who ran for the Best Actor award countless times but finally won it by torturing himself and not caring about his image. The vase has to be broken into pieces and then put back together before they are satisfied.

"The winner of the 41st Blue Dragon Film Awards for Best New Actor is..."

Lee Sung-kyung slowly announced the final winner, her eyes gradually moving around the audience.

The audience on and off the stage were waiting with bated breath, and in front of the camera, thousands of young girls were waiting for the result. On the big screen were the faces of five people, each with a different expression.

As the youngest among them, he actually looked the most relaxed and stress-free. He even had the mind to look at the camera and smile, not afraid of being criticized for his frivolous attitude.

A short, breathtaking silence.

"Quan Xuanhe!"

Li Jingcheng read out his name and looked at him with a warm smile on her face.

As expected, he won the Blue Dragon Award and became the strongest newcomer of the year.

An important part of the Grand Slam!
Quan Xuanhe took off his mask, then stood up confidently, responded to the people on both sides of the road who applauded and congratulated him as he walked, and strode towards the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm actor Kwon Hyun Hyuk."

Quan Xuanhe's face appeared on the big screen, full of energy and a bright smile.

Dozens or even hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience were watching him, watching the new representative figure who had emerged from the fierce entertainment industry last year.

What is basically certain is that in the award ceremonies of the past two years, Quan Xuanhe's seniority can be said to be the youngest. He is too young and has too little experience.

Moreover, the most important point is that the three major awards have never been a stage for young people.

“I would like to thank all the judges for giving me this award. It is a great recognition for me.”

"As a newcomer, I must walk down the path firmly and water this seed with sweat. I hope to have a career built on my hard work in the future."

"grateful…"

The rhetoric that is so common in China sounds quite novel in Korea. His speaking style and logic were formed in his upbringing. His award-winning speeches are always sincere and novel. It is no wonder that his award-winning clips are always the most played in the collection.

Holding the heavy trophy in his hand, Quan Xuanhe couldn't let it go and couldn't help feeling excited.

This is a milestone achievement for him and has extraordinary significance. No matter how calm he felt before receiving the award, it was only to cover up the disappointment in case he lost.

Regardless of the previous awards, big or small, such as AAA, Acting Awards, Baeksang Arts Awards, etc., in the final analysis, none of them can compare to the recognition of Blue Dragon.

It means that you have more confidence in your heart and are more determined on the path you take.

Quan Xuanhe no longer paid much attention to what awards were given out later. He sat in his seat and went through the entire process absent-mindedly. When the show ended, things became lively again.

"Congratulations, Xuanhe."

"Is the newcomer award about to be swept?"

Congratulations came from all directions, and Quan Xuanhe couldn't stop smiling.

Online comments related to him also came out immediately.

【Competition is fierce, here are the Qinglong winners! 】

【Shocked, he's only one step away from a Grand Slam! 】

[Sweeping the award shows within a year and a half of debut, is a new record in the film and television industry about to be set? ]

The last newcomer to shine so brightly was Park Yoochun, who truly swept all major award ceremonies and won all three major newcomer awards.

As a latecomer, Kwon Hyun Hyuk managed to win two awards, but he was still one award short of the Grand Bell Awards. However, the Grand Bell Awards were cancelled this year due to the epidemic, making it impossible for him to realize his wish of sweeping the three major awards.

However, even so, his brilliant record still made him the focus after the end.

Anyone who meets him has to smile and congratulate him, and those who are a little familiar with him will come up and chat with him.

After the award ceremony, Kwon Hyun-hyuk went to a dinner party with Lee Byung-hun, Lee Jung-jae and others, and mingled with the gatherings of actors and directors in Chungmuro.

Before leaving, Quan Xuanhe was stopped by someone again. He looked at the person in front of him, was stunned for a moment before he remembered and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Senior Luo, nim."

"Long time no see, Xuanhexi."

Luo Changmin looked at Quan Xuanhe, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a year, and the smile on his face was still warm.

Quan Xuanhe also found out the origin of the person opposite him. He was the owner of a film production company and was planning to develop a new project called "Korean Mummy", which was a supernatural theme.

From the very beginning when they contacted him, it seemed that they intended him to play one of the roles, and even threw out the title of a big director to lure him.

"Congratulations on winning the Best Newcomer award. You've been really lucky lately. I guess you've been getting a lot of script offers."

In response to Luo Changmin's nice words, Quan Xuanhe smiled and nodded, "I've been very busy recently and haven't thought about my next work yet."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changmin's smile remained unchanged, and he extended another generous olive branch, inviting Choi Min-sik and Song Kang-ho to star in this film. "We're looking to cast Choi Min-sik and Song Kang-ho, and we need to select an outstanding actor from among the young cast."

"I'm sorry, Minister Luo, I remember we were about to launch the project last year. Why did we wait until now?"

What kind of project hasn't been launched for almost a whole year? Is this really not a scam?
It is not uncommon for people to cheat each other under the banner of big directors and big actors, and finally run away with the investors' money.

"We are looking for the right time slot and mainly looking for actors who are easy to work with."

"I'll go back and think about it seriously."

After several exchanges, Park Jung-jung came out to help and ended the exchange politely.

"Be careful with film projects. Eight out of ten projects are scams these days. There are many tricks involved. Be careful not to get scammed."

The film industry took a sharp turn for the worse, and for a while there was a lot of wailing, and anything could happen.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to the representative of NEW Company's film division."

Park Jung-jung dragged him away in a hurry, and they stayed there all night, drinking and chatting, and even stayed overnight in the club.

The outside world's reaction is also gradually beginning to ferment.

[64 entertainment industry leaders give their evaluations] Survey of 64 leading figures in the Korean entertainment industry: The most anticipated male actors in 2021!!!
Quan Xuanhe ranked first,
[2020 Shining Artist Survey, a survey of 200 industry insiders.]

Kwon Hyun Hyuk is not at the top, but he has squeezed into the list. The presence of his name is a success. Those ahead of him are Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Min Ho, Park Seo Joon and the like. His popularity is soaring now, but in terms of foundation, he is still a little lacking.

In addition, Quan Xuanhe received an official invitation because of his recent strong performance.

The Korean Film Council has selected 200 representative actors from the Korean film industry (2021 men and 200 women) for the international promotional campaign 'Korean Actors '.

The purpose is to take photos and videos for the actors and provide overseas publicity and casting opportunities. It can be regarded as an official external publicity with quite a large scale. Being included in the list means that they have established a foothold and it is a proof.

The only one of his peers who was shortlisted was Ryu Jun-yeol, who debuted as a child star and has a long career. There was no one else.

"That's Song Hye Kyo, and her character suits you very well. It's definitely a big project that's guaranteed to work."

Park Jung-jung said this with great confidence, and then continued to add before he could finish his words: "This is a rise in status. Acting with Song Hye-kyo means that you are on the same level as Song Joong-ki!"

Ok?
Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo are not two words that can be put together casually, so it would be even more weird to compare them with him.

Quan Xuanhe looked at him strangely, which made Park Zhengting correct his words, "It's about status. After all, he is on Park Bo Gum's level."

There is no doubt that Song Hye Kyo is the queen of Korean dramas. Being able to partner with her can significantly improve your own status, which can even make other factors be ignored to a certain extent.

"Look at it, the character setting is still a sister-brother relationship, with perfect appearance, clear mind, and a free soul. This setting is not standard and is imposed on you. How can you not act like this?"

Now, We're Breaking Up

Although Park Jung-jung respected his ideas very much, after learning that Lee Gi-bok, the assistant director of the Drama Doctor crew, was about to direct Song Hye-kyo's new drama and had also sent a casting invitation to Kwon Hyun-hyuk for the male lead, he found it difficult not to persuade Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

If this drama is not stable, then what drama is stable?

"Let me think about it. The screenwriter has no previous good works to support her. You mentioned Park Bo Gum. The last drama she worked with was mediocre. With such a strong cast, it only ended up being an ordinary hit. What's the difference between this and a flop?"

Song Hye Kyo is not a simple person. She has been through many ups and downs for decades and had a romance with her boss Lee Byung-hun. She feels a little uncomfortable about working with him this time.

"I'll take the book back and think about it."

Seeing that Park Jung-jung still wanted to persuade him, he interrupted him and said decisively.

"Oh, okay, just take a good look at the project."

Seeing this, Park Jung-jung stopped persuading him.

For Quan Xuanhe, every project during the rising period is important, as it determines how smooth his future path will be. He has to maximize his profits while his sixth sense, which may disappear at any time, still exists and strive to climb up.

However, there were not many suitable scripts in the gap before the broadcast of Squid Game. He wanted a project that could fill this gap and maximize the exposure effect.

The discussion about the script had just ended when Han Hyo Joo, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, called me.

"Congratulations Xuanhe!"

Han Hyo Joo's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding very cheerful.

"Thank you, Noona."

It's heartwarming. No matter what, it was Han Hyo Joo's support that allowed Kwon Hyun Hyuk to play the role of Innocence, and he got the precious film resources easily.

"It's really amazing. Our Xuanhe is so powerful, much stronger than I was back then. Ay Gu, why didn't I make you my brother sooner? It's such a pity."

Han Hyo Joo teased him, but the happiness in her words was genuine and she didn't hide it. She asked with a smile.

"You must be super busy right now, with so many scripts you're worried about which role to play?"

From a chance encounter to becoming a fellow student, and then growing all the way to becoming a top star, Han Hyo Joo feels like watching the growth of a little brother next door. Compared to her biological brother who got into trouble, this one is more like her ideal little brother.

"No, there aren't that many good scripts. You know I'm quite picky about scripts, Nuna."

Quan Xuanhe replied with a smile, which aroused Han Xiaozhou's curiosity. "Then tell me, how do you choose the script?"

It's normal for Han Hyo Joo to be curious. Kwon Hyun Hyuk has made every right step since his rise to fame from "One Day". If he doesn't make any mistakes in the future, his good vision will be spread more and more widely, and more and more people will follow him.

Han Hyo Joo's taste in choosing scripts is actually...

There are various factors involved. Although there are a lot of resources, there are also a lot of failures.

"It's a feeling. Whether you can become popular or not depends on your feeling."

"It's very perfunctory."

Hearing this, Han Hyo Joo clicked her tongue, obviously this reason could not convince her.

"Tell me about your project, Nuna. Show me the notebook and I'll know what it's like."

The first person Kwon Hyun Hyuk came into contact with was Han Hyo Joo, so he naturally had a good understanding of her subsequent development path, and he knew exactly which projects would be popular and which would fail.

"Are you coming to see it?"

"Okay, come to my house, I'll show you the script, and you can tell me if you should take it."

Han Hyo Joo was actually interested in what he said and agreed immediately, with some serious thoughts and also the intention of getting closer to him after not seeing him for many days.

"OK, Noona, wait for me."

Quan Xuanhe agreed immediately.

Take the opportunity to develop friendship with Han Hyo Joo?
