The Blue House is the official residence of the President of South Korea, and of course it has many references in South Korea, so it cannot be regarded as a purely geographical concept. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn fact, the presidential palace at Sejong-ro No. 1 is not very large, and there are a lot of places that are open to the public for free in addition to ceremonial use, so the dilapidated place itself cannot afford too many large-scale events.

So...... Mr. Lee so-man kept saying that he was going to confer the medal at the Blue House, but in fact he was only receiving the award at the large venue of the Kumho Museum of Art next to the Blue House.

Of course, the Kumho Group built such a large complex on the side of the Blue House itself, which was intended to be provided to the state for free use, and was simply an annex to the Blue House. Besides, when South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, Prime Minister Kim Yong-sik, and Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Chung G-kook appeared at the venue, the term Blue House immediately became a matter of course. After all, the special thing about the Blue House is the people who live in it, not the 150,000 Blue Tiles!

As for the annex venue of the Kumho Museum, it is actually not the first time that Kim Jong-ming has been here, because this is a special place for the president to confer honors and commend some people! It's just that it seems that he is only a supporting role every time, that is to say, it is usually someone else who receives the award on the stage, and he applauds like a fool below...... That's probably what it means.

Belch...... Thinking about it this way, although the list of winners has not yet been announced, Kim Jong-ming does not think that he will take away even a fourth-class medal at the second Korean Popular Culture and Art Awards. So, he sat in a dark corner with Hong Shengcheng early, ready to watch the beautiful award.

Speaking of the Korean pop culture and art award in front of me, it sounds like a tiger, and the specifications seem to be quite high, but this thing is actually the second year this year, and it is simply an award invented by President Lee Niu......

Of course, in any case, it cannot be said that people are doing this award purely to make money (although this topic cannot be avoided), because everyone can clearly see that this award has its own positive social significance. The most obvious one is that its existence greatly improves the social status of the disadvantaged group in the field of Korean culture!

Just look at the professions of last year's first laureates. First of all, of course, there are actors, idols, writers, and other groups that are already strong and cannot be avoided, but there are also composers, recording engineers, out-of-the-way music groups, bands, voice actors, DJs, screenwriters, ...... And so on and so forth, these out-of-the-way professions can be seen on the podium.

Probably because of this, the first half of the entire award ceremony ended, and after dozens of third- and fourth-class medals were issued, Jin Zhongming only saw 7 groups of people he knew. You know, this is a cultural and artistic award!

First of all, there are several popular groups, Beast, Blue, Sons of Empire, and Afterschool, these four groups won four fourth-class medals, considering that SJ and BIGBANG were also able to win two fourth-class medals last year, this feeling of sharing the cake is not too deliberate!

And Girls' Generation received a third-class crown medal, that is, the Prime Minister's Medal, which shows their status, after all, last year SJ and BIGBANG were only fourth-class ministerial medals. But...... Sika didn't even tell himself the day before yesterday, and I don't know if he forgot about it or if he thought it didn't matter what awards he won after winning the Golden Disc Awards.

As for the fact that Mr. Song Yiguo and Miss Jang Keun Suk received a prime minister and minister medals respectively...... How can I say it? Jin Zhongming not only had no fluctuations in his heart, but even wanted to laugh a little.

But...... Next is the dinner, and then there is the second-class Silver Crown Presidential Medal and the first-class Gold Crown Cultural Medal, which need to be awarded by Lee Myung-bak himself...... The significance is extraordinary.

"Hong Sang-so, Nam Zhe, Tao Xin-woo, Kim Modeling. Jin Zhongming chanted words in the audience. "A director, a comedian, a model, a singer...... It's still quite fair, and there are no business owners who go up to make up the ......."

As soon as the words fell, the slap in the face came.

"Mr. Park Jin-young, a famous music producer!"

With the hostess's quick and simple explanation, the orangutan popped out of nowhere with a happy face, and then five people came to the stage in six and stood side by side with the previous four cultural figures from all walks of life.

"Park Jin-young is also a more serious music producer. Jin Zhongming said to Hong Shengcheng beside him with a little embarrassment.

Hong Shengcheng glanced at Jin Zhongming and did not speak.

"Famous actor...... Mr. Lee Byung-hun, please come on stage!"

Jin Zhongming immediately stopped talking.

"Famous music producer...... Mr. Yeung Hyun Suk...... There are seven of them, please accept the President's Silver Crown!"

As the host finished his almost emotionless recitation, seven courtesy ladies in full costume appeared on the stage, each holding a small gift plate with a small silver-white medal on it, and then ...... Lee Myung-bak also took the stage with a smile.

At this moment, Jin Zhongming finally couldn't help it: "No...... How is this calculated, Lao Hong, why didn't you get one?"

"You've been in Gwangju this month. Taking advantage of the fact that Hong Sang-so, the representative of the Silver Crown Medal on the stage, was speaking there, Hong Shengcheng couldn't help but sigh lightly. "I don't know what kind of drama is going on here in Seoul! It's a pity, you were wrong, if you were in it, it would be more exciting. ”

"Gwangju is also quite exciting. Jin Zhongming thought about it for a long time, and he could only say that. "But what the hell is going on?"

"I'll tell you the truth!" Hong Shengcheng stretched out his hand to cover his mouth. "This medal is the type of forced buying and selling, you can't buy it if you don't buy it!"

Jin Zhongming looked dazed.

"Here's the general thing. Hong Shengcheng didn't care about popularizing science for Jin Zhongming. "At first, I only heard that Li Xiuman wanted to take the opportunity to buy a life talisman......"

It turns out that according to Hong Shengcheng's statement, the three acquaintances standing on the stage now, and even the beast people, were not included in the list of winners! Because according to the tone set by the first award last year, this kind of already strong individual or profession is naturally not welcomed by this award...... At first, it was said that only two groups were shortlisted for this award, namely Blue, a well-developed band, and Girls' Generation, which had just made a successful debut in Japan, with the Order of the Minister of the Fourth Class and the Order of the Prime Minister of the Third Class...... This naturally makes sense.

And a long time ago, Lee so-man probably wanted to take the opportunity to send some money to Lee Myung-bak, which could be regarded as asking for a life talisman in the next increasingly fierce election wrestling...... This kind of method is too common for a businessman, and everyone doesn't care, and at that time, what he ordered was only a small ministerial medal, and no one could say anything about his identity and merits in the entertainment industry.

But...... I don't know what's going on, that is, at the beginning of this month, Li Xiuman suddenly increased his weight, and he didn't know how much money he gave, and then he directly bought a presidential silver crown medal!

"You wait. Kim Jong Ming was a little confused. "How did you know about him buying the medal? This kind of thing has always been something that can only be understood but not spoken...... You know, I know, everyone understands, why are there still people shouting out?"

"That's why it's so exciting. Hong Shengcheng covered his mouth and smiled bitterly. "You can't even think of who revealed it...... Let me tell you, it's the brother of the one on the stage, Li Xiangde!"

Jin Zhongming was dumbfounded: "He's crazy?!"

"Poor and crazy!" Hong Shengcheng said in one sentence. I don't know which business nerve touched by Li Xiuman's sudden increase in price for a higher medal, and he actually took the initiative to mark the price clearly...... In short, first the companies that were combined were found by him, saying how much does it cost to get a fourth-class medal like Blue, and then he asked me, Yang Hyun-suk, Park Jin-young, Lee Byung-hun, Bae Yong-joon, etc., and so on, saying that it was how much the presidential medal was at the same level as Lee so-man, and said that the medal was limited, and it was on a first-come, first-served ......"

"How did you get there?" Kim Jongming was curious.

"I'll take you to hide. Hong Shengcheng's answer made Jin Zhongming speechless. "I said that you are the big boss, and you don't take the medal if I take it...... But after hearing that you were filming in Gwangju and couldn't get in touch, the guy he sent insisted on me buying a fourth-class medal, and that's how the beast medal came from!"

Jin Zhongming: "It's really a long experience...... And what about later?"

"And then you saw it. Hong Shengcheng pouted on the stage. Some people are too lazy to pay attention to him, some people love to be lively, some people have the idea that more things are better than less, and some people even have an idea with Li Xiuman. Anyway...... Except for Li Xiuman, these are the last ones. ”

"What about Li Xiuman?" Jin Zhongming thought for a moment. "I knew a long time ago that he was going to be honored, and the day before yesterday when he asked Krystal to come to me, he only said that the president was going to give him a medal...... Well, could it be that he's raising the price again? The highest cultural medal, right? That's also a presidential award. ”

"That's right. Hong Shengcheng nodded. "The highest cultural medal. ”

"No wonder he specially asked my family Ermao to call me over to watch the ceremony...... It turned out that I wanted to show off. Jin Zhongming couldn't help laughing. "However, it is really worth it. ”

"yes. Hong Shengcheng replied after thinking for a while. "Last year, there were three highest cultural medals, and each of them was a real representative figure whose identity, seniority, and level have arrived, I remember that it was Shen Jiu's seniors among the actors, Gao Eunting's predecessors among the voice actors, and Lin Xichun's predecessors among the funny artists, these are all groundbreaking figures, so regardless of whether they send money or not, with Li Xiuman's own level and this medal, they are indeed qualified to come out with a long face. ”

"Indeed, that one is not the same thing as the one in front of you. Kim Jong-ming unceremoniously pointed to the seven people on the stage who were receiving the medal from Lee Myung-bak and commented. "From today onwards, the gold content of the Silver Crown in this award will probably be completely abolished by the three of them who are the bosses! And more importantly, ...... Lee's own achievements did not tarnish the award too much. ”

"Maybe!" Hong Shengcheng nodded half-approvingly, half-thoughtfully.

Soon, after receiving the medal, the seven people were either expressionless, or frowned, or walked down from the stage helplessly. In other words, the long-awaited promulgation of the Order of the Most Cultural Order is finally about to begin.

And just like the rigid introduction of the award winners just now, the host on the stage still seems very unprofessional, but the same tone gives people a different feeling when describing things about different people. Perhaps, this is the power of man.

"Mr. Lee so-man, a famous music producer. ”

A simple and similar sentence caused much louder applause than Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-seok just now, this is because Lee so-man has more weight than Park Jin-young, and that's it.

"Famous singer He Chunhua. ”

The stage continued.

"Famous actor Shin Young-kyun. ”

Sure enough, there are actors, many people think so.

"Famous writer Liu Hao ......" The host on the stage paused, but continued to read.

Jin Zhongming has already begun to frown, if there is one more than last time, then the number of people who fluctuate will reduce the gold content.

"Mr. Shin Joong-hyun, a famous musician!"

There was already some whispering in the audience, and it was a bit of a ...... to change from three to five It's too much. But......

"Famous voice actor Mr. Wu Shenglong......"

Although sitting in the corner, Jin Zhongming clearly saw Li Xiuman's unhappy expression on the stage, good guy, there are 7 second-class silver medals, and there are 6 gold crown medals, what about wholesale?

In fact, Jin Zhongming already vaguely wanted to laugh...... And when the seventh Golden Crown Medal winner Luo Wenji's predecessor appeared, Jin Zhongming really laughed.

But...... Immediately his laughter came to an abrupt end......

"Famous filmmaker...... Mr. Kim Jong Minh!"

"It's really a long time to see!" Hong Shengcheng turned to the side and commented thoughtfully.

Mr. Jin Zhongming...... Mr. Kim Jong-ming?"

"I've seen it too!" Jin Zhongming sighed. "There are more gold crowns than silver crowns!

After saying that, Jin Zhongming stood up.

The highest medal is, after all, the highest, and it is specially commented on by the president.

"Mr. Lee so-man is a well-deserved pioneer of Hallyu culture, and it can even be said that he has made the Korean entertainment industry. And the greatest contribution he has made to Korean society is to turn celebrity entertainment into a scientific system with industrial characteristics! Looking back on the past, we can say today that the Hallyu cultural business model founded by Lee so-man has become a standard in South Korea! Even, in the near future, the business model he founded may become a standard for the cultural industry in Asia......

When the commendation draft was read at this place, Kim Jong-myung on the stage suddenly applauded from the bottom of his heart, and the other colleagues sitting below followed suit, and everyone immediately interrupted President Lee Myung-bak's speech with their enthusiasm...... Actually, Kim Jong-ming felt from the bottom of his heart that Lee Myung-bak's evaluation of Lee so-man was not exaggerated, and that this was really the case, and this was the truth.

Moreover, Kim Jong-ming is not the only one who thinks so, many colleagues who came to watch the ceremony think so, in their opinion, Lee Myung-bak is not praising Lee so-man at all, but is taking out the level of learning to summarize Lee so-man! And as he concluded, this old guy who has always been smiling and squinting is such a pioneer, revolutionary, and rule-maker for Hallyu culture, plus the biggest competitor in the field of income for everyone today!

Therefore, putting aside the conflict of interests, as well as differences in concepts and beliefs, all the colleagues in the entertainment industry present feel that it is the government's duty for Li Xiuman to take this medal.

Therefore, Jin Zhongming did not hesitate to applaud. (To be continued.) )
