It can be seen that An Shengji and Song Kanghao are in a relaxed mood, because they talked and laughed with people around them as soon as they sat down, and looked like they were full of thoughts. In fact, they did have full of thoughts. Qinglong and Dazhong were both one and one of the best actors, so what else could they not understand?

However, after a while, an uncle with a disagreeable idea appeared. Choi Min-sik had a dark face... Well, he always had a dark face. In short, Choi's actor sat here with a serious face. Of course, this is understandable, because compared with other works, his movie "The Heyday of Bad Guys" is naturally somewhat lacking in confidence. Specifically, this movie that intends to create a wave of the big era finally has some feeling of not supporting the epic air.

Of course, this does not mean that Choi Min-sik and Ha Jung-woo are not acting well. If they are not acting well, Choi Min-sik will not become a candidate for actors. On the contrary, at the end of this movie, it can only be forced to rely on the acting of the two starring actors to barely solve it. The problem is actually in the script and the director. The script involves the ups and downs of the Busan gangs, and until now the Busan gangs are the most arrogant ones. Some scenes are more difficult to unfold. Considering that the director is a person who has just turned 30, it is actually not bad to achieve this effect.

But no matter what the reason is, compared with the three people around him, the overall review of his movie is slightly lower and the box office is slightly lower. Then the probability of winning the award is also low. This is always impossible to refute, right? So, it is no wonder Cui Minzhi, who has been silent for a long time, looks a little dark.

However, if you are in a good mood or in a bad mood, Choi Min-zhi always speaks the same directly.

"I heard that you have obtained both CGV theaters and CJ Films. With Mijia and our cubes before, do you have any ideas?" As soon as she sat down, Cui Dapao asked without hesitation. And if Kim Jong-ming had any ideas, he expressed his thoughts first. "I think the theaters have always had too high a share!"

"You are right." Before the people around him seemed to turn their heads inadvertently, Kim Jong-ming nodded simply. "We'll go back and talk about it according to this idea."

Choi Min-sik is actually not reckless, but his personality is straightforward. Since Kim Jong-ming's short and affirmative answer made him temporarily satisfied, he immediately put down the topic and instead talked about purely movie topics before the people around him reacted.

In this way, Choi Min-sik, Kim Jong-ming and Chu Long sat on one side of the table, An Shengji and Song Kang-ho sat on the other side, and the candidates for the best actors were very eye-catching on the same table. However, due to the status of these four, few people came to disturb them... They were happy to be quiet.

Of course, this kind of tranquility is relatively important. There will always be people who are in the same circle who are in the same circle and will come to say hello, Jang Geun-soo, Yoo Inna, Kim Tae-hee, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Kwang-soo... and Yoo Ya-in.

Yoo Ah-in himself actually did not get any awards, but the movie "Fighting Young Man Yuan De" starring him was shortlisted for two important awards: Best Movie and Best Director, so he actually came here to support him. It is precisely because of this that he got stuck in the opening time and no one could say anything. So, since he came so late, it seems natural that this young actor in Kim Jong-ming was a little hello to say hello to Kim Jong-ming and hurriedly left to find a seat before he could say hello to Kim Jong-ming.

As for Kim Jong-ming, of course, there is nothing to say.

At this time, the opening music had already started. An Shengji narrowed his eyes slightly, Song Kanghao sighed slightly, and the two of them closed their mouths at the same time. But Choi Minzhi glanced at Kim Jong-ming and suddenly spoke:

"I actually like this kid Yoo Yaren very much."

"Oh." Kim Jong-ming replied without any vagueness. "It looks soft on the outside and hard on the inside, but it looks careless on the outside. In fact, he is a very opinionated person. The key is in this industry, in terms of acting skills, he is really the best in our generation... Who doesn't like this kind of person?"

"It's good that you can think so." Song Kanghao quickly cut off the opportunity and interrupted.

The topic ends here, because the 48th Baeksang Art Awards is about to officially open, hosts Lee Huicai and Kim Ya-joong have appeared on the edge of the stage ahead together, and the four candidates of the best actor each have their own crew, so the four of them dispersed, and Kim Jong-ming also returned to the crew of "Introduction to Architecture" and then sat next to the crew of "The Furnace". Everyone has not seen each other for many days, and has been shortlisted for so many awards, and the atmosphere can be called "Smile".

But with the arrival of the opening, Kim Jong-ming, who was applauding and smiling, felt a little helpless. The reason was naturally because of Yoo Ya-in's behavior just now, and he actually knew exactly what the other party meant.

By the way, unlike other people's peers, Yoo Ya-in is already very polite to say that he is soft on the outside and hard on the inside. In fact, this person can be called a strong personality, with a clear position and a strong opinion! And where is his position? There is no need to ask at all. The Korean film industry that opposes the preemptive system must be left-leaning because the government is right-leaning.

Therefore, others may be cautious and flattering to Kim Jong-ming because he became the largest capitalist in the Korean film industry, but Yoo A-in showed his alienation attitude without hesitation, just as he publicly expressed his critical attitude towards an aunt last month, the reason was that the other party was entangled with the chaebol, and the so-called fair economy slogan was deceiving the people!

To give an inappropriate example, if you say this, Lee Kwang-soo, the best male newcomer candidate sitting next to Yoo A-in, he can't even say it even if he dies. But it is precisely because Yoo A-in dares to say this and Lee Kwang-soo dares not say this that the former is protected and helped by Song Kang-ho and Choi Min-sik, while the latter has never been promoted in the film industry, so the former can get the newcomer award early to be ready to win the Best Actor Award, while the latter is just a best newcomer candidate with extremely low probability.

And this is the film circle! Entertainment, artistry, politics, capitalism, mass, and elites are naturally unified here, and this is the fundamental reason why this industry can surpass the entertainment circle.

Behind Yoo Yaren's alienation is not one person, Choi Min-sik and Song Kang-ho's protection of him is not only the two of them, but it exactly represents the attitude of a group of people towards Kim Jong-ming. This is something that I am destined to face after starting from Mika. However, the speed of the CJ industry has quickly intensified all this. Coupled with the natural scene of Baeksang Art Awards, everything is inevitable.

Just as he was thinking, Kim Jong-ming suddenly felt Chu Long hit her and looked up. It turned out that Kim Soo-hyun and Ji-yeon, who were at the same table, both won the Best Newcomer for the Movie for "Introduction to Architecture".

There is no need to be black and no talk. At this time, we must hold on. Jin Zhongming immediately stood up and applauded. Now, from the crew on the round tables around, to the large number of film practitioners and guests behind us, to the audiences around us, many people also stood up while applauding, which was a huge momentum.

"What do you think of this award?" In the corner, Li Cangdong smiled and clapped, turning his head to communicate with the people around him. "Is it fair?"

"No problem?" Choi Dong-hoon replied inexplicably. "It was a big hit."

"It's true." Park Chan-woo nodded affirmatively. "The two children were trained by accident well."

"It's absolutely fine." Bong Joon-ho even felt a little impatient in his tone.

Li Cangdong shrugged, smiled, and said nothing.

The award ceremony continues. This time the award arrangement is a kind of mixed with TV and movies. It is a bit dazzling with the already fast pace.

The best funny artist and variety show were all taken away by "Funny Concert", and the best newcomer for men and women TV was also taken away by "The Magpie Bridge Brothers" by KBS. The female newcomer worth mentioning is Uie. She has no acting career since she starred in "Yellow Sea". As for the best newcomer director of the movie, he gave a funny film director named Ren Chanyi, and the four popular actors were Jang Geun-soo, Kang So-ra, Park Yoo-chim, and Park Shin Hye... To be honest, most of these awards were not caring except for the parties involved, but they were just applauding enthusiastically anyway.

Looking at the entire first half, the only thing worth noting is the two best screenwriters. Among them, Li Yongzhou won the best screenwriter for the movie, and Lee Cangdong wisely did not ask Bong Joon-ho if he was fair. The best screenwriter in the TV category that followed also attracted much attention because this award is extremely valuable in the TV category, and in the end, it fell into the hands of the crew of SBS TV's "Big Tree and Deep Roots".

But these are just appetizers after all. Soon, with the end of cnblue's midfield performance, most people became serious. As always, the good show was always in the second half. After all, the real big cake was coming.

At the beginning of the second half, the Emperor of Video was born. Han Shigui, the senior who successfully won the emperor with "The Tree of Big and Deep Roots"; the Queen of Video was picked by Kong Hyo-jin, and her work this time was mbc's "Best Love".

To be honest, no matter how these actors are or how TV series are, there are only these three major TV stations in Korea, so no matter who is the emperor or the queen, they will be bitched. Fortunately, the live broadcast of this grand prize was handed over to the cable TV station jtbc for the first time, and it was still not a bitch online for a while.

But then again, Li Cangdong didn't ask whether it was fair or not this time, and the other three people also felt indifferent to their own affairs.

By the way, movies and TV... are really not the same thing for some people.

"The one who won the Best Actor in the Movie is..." This time the award ceremony was really straightforward and the guests didn't care about it after picking up the envelope. "Mr. Kim Jong-ming, congratulations!"

Kim Jong-ming took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to An Shengji first, came to the stage and turned back to the audience behind him. With his actions, the audience would have arrived, but almost all the people in the awards and guest seats stood up and applauded spontaneously. Unlike the young years six or seven years ago, now, except for An Shengji, no one in this industry is qualified to accept him calmly without responding.

Lee Cangdong and Bong Joon-ho are not good either. In fact, these four major directors also stood up and applauded and returned the greeting.

In this way, as Kim Jong-ming started to give a speech on the stage with the trophy, Li Cang-dong, who had just sat down, smiled and asked again: "How, do you think this award is fair?"

"Senior, what does this mean?" Choi Dong-hoon finally felt something was wrong. "Have you heard any rumors?"

"No." Li Cangdong shook his head repeatedly. "I just asked about the matter. Is there anything else to say about the award ceremony if I don't talk about this?"

"Of course there is no problem." Bong Joon-ho responded weakly. "This award is actually the fairest. The five selected movies are all movies with box office, reputation and topicality. The four candidates are also recognized by the industry. Where can there be any unfairness?"

"Yes." Park Chan-woo, who didn't talk much, also interjected. "And let's be honest, the three major prizes must be balanced after all. Senior Ahn Sung-ki and Kang Ho had already taken them over before, but this time Kim Jong-ming used two to one, and he really had nothing to say about the actor."

Li Cangdong nodded immediately and stopped talking.

The best actor is the highlight. In addition to making a speech, Kim Jong-ming also has to wait for the new actress Yan Zhenghua to end her speech. Then the two of them also freeze the ceremony on stage together to facilitate the camera and reporters to leave formal video materials.

However, less than three minutes after the TV series Best Director Kim Jong-min stepped down, Kim Jong-ming stood up and bowed to the audience. This time, he won the Best Director of the Film Series with the movie "Introduction to Architecture"!

"What do you mean?" Li Cangdong asked naturally as soon as he sat down.

"No problem, right?" Although hesitated for a moment, Choi Dong-hoon still gave an affirmative attitude. "The movie is indeed good."

"We need to consider some reasonable bonuses." Bong Joon-ho took the initiative to defend Kim Jong-ming. "Of course, I'm talking about bonuses at the film level... This is the last part of his love trilogy. Any director who completed the trilogy and achieved success in the general sense should be given extra attention!"

"That's right." Li Cangdong actually nodded seriously. "Actually, I think so too, it's reasonable and impeccable."

"And to be honest, Yoon Zongbin, the director of "Bad Guys", and Lee Han, the director of "Fighting Boys", have some obvious shortcomings in the handling of the film structure. "Train" is a bit erotic, so it's okay to get the nomination. If it's really a prize present, Baeksang, as a traditional grand prize, still have to consider the influence." Park Chan-woo also gave a pertinent evaluation.

"What about director Zheng Zhiyong from "Broken Arrow"?" Li Cangdong asked afterwards.

Park Zan-woo frowned instinctively. He was a little dissatisfied with Lee Cangdong's attitude of being responsive but constantly picky today.

"You can't say that." Bong Joon-ho said his point of view very seriously to Lee Cang-dong. "We are not the ten members of the preparatory committee sitting there. As bystanders, although we are discussing the fairness of the award's ownership, there is no reason to take it out of each candidate. Speaking of fairness, the only thing we should discuss is whether Kim Jong-ming won the award is fair or not. We cannot deny the fairness of the award just because other competitors are also competitive!"

"You're right." Surprisingly, Lee Cang-dong actually agreed with the other party's point of view again, because Park Chan-woo and Choi Dong-wook were completely confused. "I actually watched it this way... Whether Kim Jong-ming won the Best Actor Award or the Best Director, including his previous film that won the newcomers of men and women, it really makes people have nothing to say! I am a reasonable person, and this is my true words!"

Park Chan-woo felt a little moved when she heard this, as if she had thought of something, but he had such a personality and didn't want to say anything more. Choi Dong-hoon was still a little confused and uneasy about Lee Cang-dong's strange attitude. However, Bong Joon-ho became more and more helpless after being held back.

Next, as the Best TV series was taken away by Cube's "The Moon Embracing the Sun", the atmosphere between the four directors became more and more bizarre. It was not until the Best Movie was taken away by "Broken Arrow" that the veteran film director and famous film social activist Zheng Zhiyong led the crew to take the stage to receive the award, and this atmosphere became eased.

"What do you think of the grand reward?" Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Cui Dongxun asked on his own initiative, because he was afraid that Li Cangdong would say again, "Do you think it's fair?"

"A TV series, a movie." Park Chan-woo opened his squinting eyes slightly. "It's hard to award the award to individuals this time."

"It makes sense." Li Cangdong nodded repeatedly. "What about specificity?"

"How do you guess this?" Bong Joon-ho sneered. "There is no shortlist for the Grand Awards. As long as the movies that appeared tonight are basically shortlisted. Look at the awards section in front, there are so many tables, one table and one crew, who knows which one is?"

"That's true." Li Cangdong nodded slightly. "But actually, if you think about it carefully, it's just those movies."

"I don't understand the TV series." Park Chan-woo suddenly responded to Lee Cang-dong. "To be fair, except for "Broken Arrow" and "Introduction to Architecture" that have won the grand prize, the other movies are indeed very likely... "Sunny", "The Heyday of the Bad Guys", "Fighting Boy", "The Defender" that has not appeared in other awards on the list of best movies, "The Final Weapon: The Bow"... Of course, there is also "The Furnace" with a strong social topic!"

"Two more." Lee Cangdong commented without hesitation. "Although "The Final Weapon: The Bow" was favored by the judges because of the so-called big scenes, the facts later proved that South Korea could not compare with Hollywood and China in this regard. The development of this direction is necessary, but the reflection of the movie "The Bow" has become a consensus, and it is unlikely to be sought after again. As for "Fighting Boy", to be honest, the grand prize must pay attention to style after all. Even "Introduction to Architecture" does not win other awards, I am afraid that it will not be qualified, because romance and inspirational films naturally cannot support the heavyness of the grand prize in terms of themes. This is just like erotic porn films are often shortlisted for the best movies but rarely wins the award. This is a rule that anyone will instinctively follow when he is a judge."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, and had to admit that although Li Cangdong talked a lot of nonsense, they basically made sense.

"So, I think it should be the most outline of the four movies, "The Defender", "The Bad Guy", and "Sunny"," Lee Cang-dong continued to infer. "And among them, "The Defender" and "Sunny" were feared by the organizing committee with conservative official background because of some... why we all understand, so the biggest possibility should be to choose one of "The Defender" and "The Bad Guy".

The other three great directors were silent together, not because the other party was careless, but on the contrary, it was because what Li Cangdong said was very reasonable. Various so-called reasonable factors were superimposed, and there were only two alternatives left in the movie awards that seemed to have no threshold.

Kim Jong-ming, who was sitting in front, had a premonition, and he was more certain than those who were inferred in the corner. This award was probably his own... And the reason was that the group of professors from the organizing committee were deliberately flattering themselves, or maybe it was an aunt who deliberately sowed the disagreement. But no matter what, he did feel this atmosphere, and it was probably too late to react now.

Of course, more importantly, Kim Jong-ming carefully reversed the awards he won today, and even the awards he won by the movies and TV series under Cube. He asked himself that he was confident of all of them.

Back in front of you, if "Introduction to Architecture" won the grand prize, then you will definitely abandon it. It is not that the movie is bad, but that a pure romance film is indeed not qualified to win so many awards. But if "The Furnace" won the grand prize, why can't I accept it?

While thinking, the TV awards have been awarded, which are the "Tree Roots" starring Song Joong Ki and Han Se-kyu. To be honest, this is also the expected result. Although "The Moon Embracing the Sun" has a phenomenal trend, it has not yet reached that point. If it does not reach an extreme rating, the love-themed TV series "The Moon Embracing the Moon" is actually not qualified to be compared with the "historical drama" like "The Moon Embracing the Tree".

That's right, the so-called "The Tree's Deep Roots" tells the story of Sejong officially founding Korean characters in order to get rid of Chinese... Is there any historical TV series with more main themes than this? In 2011, the Korean TV series was silenced, who wouldn't you give it to?!

Some things are the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. The crew of BS's "Big Tree and Deep Roots" came on stage, and tears filled his eyes. Kim Jong-ming, a top student in history, had no expression on his face and didn't know what he thought. All of this was put on the big screen on one side by the camera of JTBC TV station with malicious intentions. Considering their TV station's pitiful ratings, I don't know what the meaning of doing this is. Perhaps the only function is to let the film and television colleagues on the scene shift their attention from the stage to Kim Jong-ming's expression?

The person who appeared in charge of the award ceremony was a little surprised. It was Lee Byung-hun! The name he appeared here was the president of the Korean Actors Association... This also makes people think a lot.

By the way, although Lee Byung-hun went to Hollywood around the Chinese New Year and ran back in shame, his artificial attitude on the stage did not change at all.

"The 48th Korean Baeksang Art Awards, winner of the film awards..." Lee Byung-hun opened the envelope, took out the card, and smiled instinctively. ""The Furnace"! Congratulations!"

The crew of "The Furnace" who had been sitting all night instinctively jumped up, and the spotlight and camera were following like shadows. Jin Ya-jung also read the award speech: "The Movie "The Furnace" reveals the darkest scene in society with its cruelest and calm vision, and uses movies to hit and torture the entire society, showing people the social responsibility and conscience of literary and artistic works. In terms of movies, this is the most socially influential work of the previous year, and it is great!"

The warm applause rang out immediately, and at this moment, Bong Joon-ho in the corner of the audience suddenly turned his head and questioned Lee Cang-dong who was applauding: "What do you say at the senior? Is it fair?"

"Very fair!" Li Cangdong replied calmly while applauding. "I have nothing to say to the award of "The Furnace"! But I feel even more afraid of Kim Jong-ming..."

"I believe in Zhong Ming's character." Cui Dongxun, who finally understood Lee Cangdong's meaning, finally expressed his attitude clearly. "I know that he, his movies and his company's movies have won too many awards today, but I don't think he has used any improper means, and every award can stand the test."

"I know." Li Cangdong replied with a serious expression.

"I know that seniors have their position as seniors." Bong Joon-ho persuaded a little weakly. "You came to us on behalf of the Directors Association. But shouldn't we just talk about the matter? How could he grow up and feel uncontrollable and just confront him? He didn't do anything too much..."

"Existence is the original sin." The entire crew of "The Furnace" on the stage was already in place and was about to accept the awards. Lee Cangdong looked calm and took out a piece of chewing gum and stuffed it into his mouth. This was a manifestation of suppressing smoking addiction. "The same thing has different starting points and different opinions. To be honest, in my opinion, Kim Jong-ming should not have deliberately put pressure on the organizing committee, and every related award is reasonable. But even in this state, the grand prize, the best director, the best actor, the best newcomer, the best screenwriter... are all his, right?"

Bong Joon-ho didn't have time to reply because as Kim Jong-ming took over the Grand Prix trophy from Lee Byung-hun as a producer, warm applause rang out around him again, and many viewers stood up and continued to applaud to express their support for the movie.

He should have made a speech after taking the trophy, but Kim Jong-ming gave the first opportunity to give a speech to director Huang Dong-hyuk and took a step back. With Huang Dong-hyuk's speech, the following directors continued their topic again, or rather, Lee Cang-dong was giving a speech to the other three silent people alone.
To be continued...
