Chapter XXIV: Causes

"Nuna is for the promotion of the TV series, right?" Kang Tae-cheol thought for a while, then looked up at Kim Tae-hee and asked. But although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

Kim Tae-hee nodded.

"So for the big prize after the year?"

"It can't be SBS, Qinglong and Daejong don't have TV drama awards, so it can only be the Baeksang Art Awards?" Jiang Taizhe muttered to himself, and the light in his eyes was even brighter.

"Nuna, do you want the 'Best Acting Award' or the 'Best Actress Award'?" Kang Tae-chul stared at Kim Tae-hee.

Kim Tae-hee didn't speak, his eyes widened, as if he was surprised by Kang Tae-chul's ability to reason.

After a while, Kim Tae-hee recovered from his surprise and shook his head with a wry smile, "How can Nuna have such a luxury, I am very satisfied to get the popularity award." ”

Looking at Kim Tae-hee, whose smile was full of bitterness, Kang Tae-cheol also sighed.

If it were another year, Kim Tae-hee wouldn't talk about the popularity award, even if it was an acting award and a big award, he would be able to hope for it.

It's a pity that this year is 2004, a year when Korean dramas completely exploded.

First of all, the historical drama "Dae Jang Geum", which began broadcasting in September last year and ended in March this year, was produced by MBC. The TV series, starring Lee Young-ae, broke through 50% of the ratings and finished with 47. The average rating of 8% locked in the 2004 Korean ratings champion in advance!

Lee Young-ae has become one of the most valuable artists in South Korea right now!

Next is the weekend drama "Paris Lovers", produced by SBS and which began to air in June this year, this TV series started high and went high, with 23 ratings for the first episode. 6%! After that, he made a great progress, and finally won 56. The 3% ratings are over. It is the TV series that has broken through 40% and 50% of the ratings in the shortest time in recent years, and it is also the ratings champion of this year's single episode.

There is also the KBS family weekend drama "Conditions of Love" starring Han Jiaren, which also broke through 45% of the ratings, making Han Jiaren one of the most trending actresses this year.

"Stairway to Heaven", led by Kwon Sang-woo and Choi Ji-woo, has the highest rating of 42. 4%; "The Story of Bali" starring Ha Ji Won and Cho In-sung also broke through 40% of the ratings.

"Full House of Romance" starring Rain and Song Hye Kyo did not have an average rating of more than 40% in the end, but it also had 37%, not to mention that this TV series set off a boom in Asian Korean dramas, and it is very hot throughout Asia. The two leading actors have become the new representatives of the Korean Wave.

In South Korea, if a TV series has more than 10% ratings, then it is not considered a failure. If it exceeds 20%, then it is a successful TV series.

If you are lucky enough to pass 30%, then it is definitely a big hit this year. If it's over 40%, then congratulations, this is a national-level TV series, and the annual ratings champion is beckoning to you.

If it can exceed 50%, then this TV series will forever become a classic and will be engraved on the historical list of Korean dramas.

Kim Tae-hee starred in the SBS drama "Love at Harvard" this year. With a cost of 5 billion won, the drama is arguably one of the largest productions in recent years. And Kim Tae-hee's appearance in it is also remarkable.

The ratings of the first episode of the TV series are 13% nationwide and 15% in Seoul, which is not an unsuccessful report card, but it pales in comparison with several other TV dramas this year.

Since the TV series aired last month, the ratings have not been high or low, and after breaking through the 20% ratings, it fell again, which made Kim Tae-hee very distressed.

Her goal is to win this year's Baeksang Art Awards, but even if it is a popularity award, it needs popularity to support, not that you can get it if you want to. The leading actors of so many popular TV series are waiting in line, why is it their turn?

So Kim Tae-hee came up with such a way to use the popularity of Kang Tae-chul, who has recently become popular, to increase the popularity of himself and the TV series, so that he can have a higher success rate in winning the Baeksang Art Awards in 3 months.

Jiang Taizhe figured this out in a short period of time, and couldn't help but sigh. "It's really hard to be an actor."

"Then can you help?" Kim Tae-hee wrinkled his nose.

"Help, when are you going to shoot?" Jiang Tae-cheol's chest was so loud that he would go even if he was asked to take a CT scan.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

After chatting with Kim Tae-hee for a while, Kim Tae-hee got up and said goodbye, she still had scenes to shoot in the afternoon.

Li Meihui inspected the house and found that Jiang Taizhe was doing really well, at least the house was clean. This time, she came mainly for the year-end women's federation meeting, and by the way, she visited Kang Tae-cheol.

Kang Tae-cheol sent Lee Mi-hye outside the door, and after hugging him, he found that there was an extra thing in his hand.

"Don't be stingy with dinner, our family is not short of this money."

"I'm optimistic about you, boy." Lee Mi-hye winked at Kang Tae-cheol.

Looking at a credit card in his hand, Jiang Taizhe didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

――――

CF, the full name is CommercialFilm, which translates to advertising film. To put it more colloquially, it is generally seen in TV advertisements, magazine covers, and these short film photos are all CF.

What Kim Tae-hee wanted him to shoot was a set of covers for entertainment magazines.

The first CF is the cover level, and if you let insiders know, I'm afraid you will be envious of Jiang Taizhe.

"Taizhe, have you cleaned up?" Kim Tae-hee sat on the sofa and drank tea with his legs crossed.

"It's down." As soon as the words fell, Jiang Taizhe walked down from the upper floor.

Kim Tae-hee's eyes lit up.

The top is a classic Burberry brown raged trench coat, a white cardigan by Zegna inside, an Armani waistcoat on the outside, and a black embroidered slacks by D&G. Wear yours with Hermes sneakers.

Kang Tae-cheol's previous dressing style was influenced by Kang Jin-hyuk, and he has always been dominated by black and gray, although he looks stable and reliable, but it does not match his age. The current dress is warm, and with a sunny smile, it makes people feel warm.

Kim Tae-hee had a thin boy in his mind, and then gradually coincided with the boy in front of him.

After so many years, the only thing that has not changed is the warm but shy smile on the boy's face.

"Let's go."

Due to the short period of time, Kim Tae-hee's car did not park in the garage, but directly outside the gate.

The model is BMW Z4, a new convertible coupe launched by BMW in 2002, and the white streamlined body makes Jiang Taizhe can't help but stroke it.

"Here you go." Kim Tae-hee threw over a key.

"I don't know how to drive." Kang Tae-chul's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks.

Kim Tae-hee glanced at him curiously, then giggled. She really didn't expect that a person of Jiang Taizhe's status would not be able to drive.

"I'm going to go back to school." Facing the wind, Kang Tae-cheol shed tears.

He has trachoma.

Kang Tae-chul didn't have breakfast in the morning, so at his strong request, Kim Tae-hee took him to the other side of Seongbuk-dong first.

After eating a bowl of kimchi rice at Auntie's, Jiang Taizhe got into the car with the two sugar cakes he was wrapping.

After half an hour of driving, Kang Tae-cheol arrived at his destination.
