Peninsula: The Best Actor Starts from an Idol Battleground

Chapter 91 The Comfort of Truth and Yoonjin's Desire to Be a Fan

In the end, Li Zhixing did not kick the two out; a phone call temporarily interrupted his attempt to do so.

It was Li Zhixing's cell phone, which was next to his computer, that rang.

He picked it up and glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?"

A deliberately lowered voice came from the other side.

"Is this Teacher Zhixing?"

"Um?

This title —

Li Zhixing quickly realized what was happening.

"Cui Zhenli?"

Shirley's laughter came through the receiver; she seemed very happy that Li Zhixing could recognize her voice.

"It's me, Teacher Zhixing."

Upon hearing that name, Yoona's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

Lin Yunzhen asked curiously, "You know him?"

Yoona explained in a low voice, "It's Sulli, a junior colleague who just debuted at our company."

Lin Yunzhen suddenly realized that she knew all the members of her sister's company's various groups like the back of her hand.

Sherry's image flashed through my mind instantly.

She frowned.

"That child isn't an adult yet, is he?"

Lin Yunzhen muttered in a low voice, "This little pervert is good at attracting young girls."

"Nothing has changed after all these years."

Yoona looked at her unnie with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"If you keep talking nonsense, Oppa will really kick you out."

Meanwhile, the call continued.

"Truth, how did you get my phone number? What do you need me for?"

Choi Jin-ri, looking a little embarrassed, paused for a moment before saying, "I accidentally glanced at the number on Soo-jung's phone."

Seemingly afraid that Li Zhixing would delve deeper, she quickly said, "Teacher, I just saw the nomination list for this year's Grand Bell Awards."

"You weren't even nominated for Best New Actor."

"This is simply unreasonable."

"The actor who played the lifeguard was so good."

It turns out that the call was because of this matter.

Li Zhixing said with a smile, "This year's situation is quite special. There are more films participating, and the competition is fierce."

"It's normal not to be nominated."

"So, teachers, please don't be unhappy."

"And even if I don't get nominated this time, there are still the Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Baeksang Arts Awards, and so many other film awards."

"The teacher will definitely win the award."

Choi Jin-ri sounded very serious.

Li Zhixing then realized the purpose of her call and said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Zhenli, are you trying to comfort me?"

"Ah—well, it's not really to comfort you, it's just to encourage the teacher, in case you're feeling down."

Don't worry.

Li Zhixing smiled and said, "I don't care about these things at all."

Then, he asked in confusion, "Where are you? Why are you speaking so softly? Are you still on a schedule?"

"No, no, I'm already in the dorm."

"Everyone was waiting in the living room to watch episode 3 of IRIS, so I sneaked into the bedroom to make a phone call."

Li Zhixing was speechless.

What's wrong with you? Is there anything shameful about talking to yourself on the phone?

"It's true, since today's schedule is ending early, we should go and rest early."

"Episode 3 is not suitable for you kids."

"Soojung too, you can call Soojung to go to sleep together later."

"If she doesn't listen to you, call me again."

"Did you hear me?"

Choi Jin-ri, who was on the other side, was dumbfounded.

She's been looking forward to seeing Li Zhixing's scenes in the third episode.

Seeing that Choi Jin-ri remained silent, Lee Ji-haeng said in a slightly serious tone, "Go quickly, or I'll call your manager later."

"All right----"

"Goodnight, teacher. I'll go wake up Xiujing for bed now."

"Um.

""

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhixing glanced at Lin Yoona, who had snuck over to eavesdrop.

"You've finished your noodles, aren't you leaving?"

Yoona rubbed her stomach and said with feigned helplessness, "I'm too full. Let's digest a bit before we go."

Then, she asked curiously, "Oppa, are you close to Sulli? Why does she call you 'teacher'?"

Li Zhixing glanced at her sideways.

"It's very impolite to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls, don't you know that?"

Yoona replied matter-of-factly, "I'm just concerned about a junior colleague. Doesn't Oppa know how attractive he is to young girls? What if Sulli falls for you?"

Li Zhixing snorted coldly.

"What does a little kid know about liking? And is it just little girls? I'm very attractive to adult women too, okay?"

Lin Yunzhen rolled her eyes.

Sure enough, even with amnesia, his narcissistic nature wouldn't change in the slightest.

Of course, he's still just as annoying and arrogant as ever.

Yoona was also somewhat helpless.

Oppa's talent for making others' fists hard has always been off the charts.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, somewhat puzzled, "Were you talking about the Grand Bell Awards nominations? Has the nomination list been released this year?"

"Oppa didn't even make the cut?"

Lin Yunzhen was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "With such high box office numbers for 'Haeundae,' how could you not even get a nomination?"

Li Zhixing glanced at her.

"If awards are given simply based on box office success, then what's the point of having judges?"

"Why not just award prizes based on box office revenue?"

"you----"

Lin Yunzhen instinctively wanted to retort.

But I managed to hold back.

Chong'er still didn't quite understand: "Even so, Oppa's popularity has been so high lately. If he doesn't even get a nomination, it will probably cause quite a bit of controversy."

Li Zhixing pursed his lips.

"There is indeed controversy, but I'm afraid it doesn't concern me."

"What do you mean?"

Li Zhixing lowered his voice: "Ji Won-na was not nominated for Best Actress."

"What?"

Yoona's eyes widened suddenly.

"How is this possible?"

Lin Yunzhen didn't react for a moment.

"Ji-won noona? Ha Ji-won?"

"Is not being nominated a big deal?"

"Of course it's serious!"

Yoona explained, "Ha Ji-won is the leading lady in two hit movies this summer."

"It's 'Haeundae' and 'My Love Is By My Side'."

"It's no exaggeration to say that she's the most talked-about actress this year."

"Moreover, one of the two films was a box office hit, and the other received high praise for both the reviews and the performance. The senior actress was already considered a top contender for Best Actress by the media and film critics."

"If they don't even get a nomination for this, then the problem with the Grand Bell Awards this time is more than just controversy."

"At that time, both fairness and authority will be questioned."

Then, Yoona seemed to remember something, walked to the computer on the table, turned on the screen, and entered the password with practiced ease.

870423.

Li Zhixing was a little confused.

"No, Lim Yoona?"

When did you find out my password?

Yoona chuckled.

"It's just Oppa's birthday, you can easily guess."

Li Zhixing paused for a moment, somewhat confused: "Have I ever publicly announced my birthday?"

Lin Yunzhen also gathered in front of the computer.

As he passed by Li Zhixing, he gave him a meaningful glance.

After all these years, he still only knows how to use his birthday as a password.

I guess this is also the bank card password.

The Grand Bell Awards are one of the three major film awards in South Korea and one of the most valued awards by South Korean filmmakers.

It's not just celebrities who are paying attention; because South Koreans have a high enthusiasm for watching movies, with each person watching an average of three or four movies a year, the general public is also very interested in the winners of various awards.

Therefore, as soon as the nominations for the Grand Bell Awards were announced, the real-time search terms on several portal websites quickly rose to the top.

Along with the "Grand Bell Awards nomination list," Ha Ji-won, who was not nominated, also made the list.

Yoona clicked on the relevant link, and the list of nominees quickly popped up.

She glanced at the list and exclaimed in surprise, "Haeundae has quite a few nominations."

"Haeundae" received a total of nine nominations at the Grand Bell Awards this year.

It was nominated for major awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

Even Kim In-kwon was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

Haeundae thus became the most nominated work at this year's awards.

But the biggest controversy is precisely related to "Haeundae".

After confirming that Ha Ji-won was indeed not on the Best Actress list, Yoona subconsciously looked at the Best New Actor nominees.

Best New Actor: Kang Ji-hwan (My Level 7 Civil Servant), Cha Seung-woo (Rock 'n' Roll 70s), Kim Nam-gil (Modern Boys), So Ji-sub (Rough Cut), Song Chang-eui (Don't Cry).

Yoona's face showed a somewhat absurd and incomprehensible expression.

"Didn't senior actor Kang Ji-hwan win quite a few newcomer awards for 'Rough Cut'?"

"Why is she nominated for the Best Newcomer Award again for 'Level 7 Civil Servant'?"

"This isn't right."

Lin Yunzhen was also stunned when she saw the nomination list.

"So Ji-sub? He's been in the industry for so many years."

"Competing for the newest talent award? Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Li Zhixing thought for a moment and said, "Jixie-ge's suggestion makes sense."

"Generally speaking, the award for best new film actor does not primarily consider the number of years since debut."

"Anyone who plays an important role in a film no more than three times is eligible to compete for the Best Newcomer Award."

"But I don't quite understand Jiang Zhihuan's case either."

"elder brother?"

Lin Yunzhen paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Are Zhixing and So Ji-sub close?"

Li Zhixing nodded.

"We have a good relationship."

Yoona added from the side, "So Ji-sub was nominated this time for 'Rough Cut', and he was the action director for that movie."

"real?"

Lin Yunzhen grabbed Li Zhixing in surprise.

"Quickly, get me an autograph."

Li Zhixing was stunned and looked at her with a strange expression.

"Aren't you my fan?"

Lin Yunzhen waved her hand dismissively.

"Oh, seeing the real person, they're just so-so."

"I've stopped being a fan."

"What?"

Li Zhixing was stunned.

Is this something to be done casually?

Moreover, how could he really be "just so-so"?

Li Zhixing could no longer tolerate it.

He must drive this person, who is even more despicable than Lin Yoona, out of Yuan.

Just as they were about to take their duties, Menfer's bell rang once, and the restaurant door was pushed open again.

"Oppa, aren't you going home yet? The drama is about to start."

It is gratitude.

Seeing that Li Zhixing had not returned home for a long time, she came directly to look for him.

But as soon as she entered, she saw Lim Yoona sitting in front of Li Zhixing's computer, turning her head to look at her.

And Yoona was wearing—

Ji-eun's face changed instantly, and she pointed angrily at her.

"Yoona, why are you wearing Oppa's clothes so hastily?"
