Chapter 164: The First Year of the Year

After filming this scene, it was already half past two in the morning, and the film crew called it a day, and several actors and some members of the crew also left separately and went home to spend time with their families or take a temporary rest, but they had to rush to the crew before seven o'clock in the morning to continue their work.

Jang Sung-won also left, but this time he went home, but instead ran to Lee Hyo-ri's apartment and slept well for a few hours with Lee Hyo-ri in his arms. After dawn, Lee Hyori deliberately got up early to have breakfast with him and sent him out, and then went back to his room to go to sleep, while Jang Sung-won drove to the crew to start his new day's shooting mission.

Time passed slowly, and on December 29th, this day, the movie "The King's Man", which had been publicized for several weeks and attracted strong public attention, was finally grandly released across the country. And Lee Joon-gi, the actor of Kong Ji, one of the male protagonists who was evaluated by the media as "more beautiful than men than women", quickly became a super idol in the minds of many people, and his popularity was so high that Jang Sung-won, who was called "the most popular young actor in 05", also seemed to be out of reach, and firmly pressed Jang Sung-won to second place in the search rankings of major Korean portals. A few days ago, Zhang Chengyuan just became the first in some search rankings because of the hit of "MyGirl".

In this regard, Li Duohai sarcastically said in front of Zhang Chengyuan and Lee Joon-gi: "Brother Chengyuan was happy for a few days, and he was ousted by Brother Jungji, which is really happy!" ”

However, as soon as she finished saying this, she was knocked on the door of her head by Zhang Chengyuan, and she was in pain.

was robbed of the position by Lee Joon-gi, Zhang Chengyuan did not feel frustrated, he still understands the truth of "flowers are not popular for a hundred days, and people are good for a thousand days", even Zhang Dongjian, Lee Byung-hun, Bae Yongjun and other superstars cannot maintain the first popularity for a long time, let alone him, he lost it this time, and he will take it back next time. What he has to do now is to work harder in order to make better works, to achieve higher achievements and to be recognized by more people.

In addition, with Lee Joon-gi's fame, the ratings of "MyGirl" also have a tendency to rise further, and the ratings of the sixth episode broadcast on the 29th are about 3% more than the previous episode, reaching 26.3%, although it cannot be said that this increase is all due to Lee Joon-gi, but at least half of the credit should be credited to him, because although the ratings of "MyGirl" have also risen steadily, they have only maintained a growth rate of more than 1%.

And the ratings of "MyGirl" are rising, so Jang Sung-won, who is the star of the TV series, naturally benefits indirectly because of Lee Joon-gi, so Jang Sung-won should also be grateful to Lee Joon-gi.

Jang Sung-won, who understands this reason, gave Lee Joon-gi a few glasses of wine at the dinner with Lee Joon-gi and Lee Da-hae that night, thanked Lee Joon-gi slightly, and said: "Maybe because of you, the ratings of this TV series may be expected to reach more than 30%, so I and Dahae will owe you a blessing." Because he and Lee Joon-gi were already good friends at this time, it was inconvenient and unnecessary to say too grateful words to him.

Lee Joon-gi smiled indifferently: "Don't thank me, am I not one of the actors in this TV series?" Isn't the ratings boost good for me, too? Besides, you and Duohai are the leading actors of this show, and the ratings are mainly supported by the two of you. ”

After hearing some compliments between Jang Sung-won and Lee Joon-gi, Li Duohai said with slight disdain: "I don't know what you are talking about, how do you sound like you are complimenting each other?" It's really two hypocritical brothers, especially Brother Cheng Yuan. As soon as she finished speaking, she received another blow on her head with Zhang Chengyuan's fingers.

………………

At the end of the year, the entertainment industry is always very busy, because various award ceremonies are about to start again, as an actor, this year's awards ceremony related to Jang Sung-won is the acting awards of the three major TV stations: MBC Acting Awards on December 30, KBS Acting Awards and SBS Acting Awards on December 31.

In 2005, several TV dramas filmed by Jang Sung-won were related to the three major TV stations, "Haojie Chunhyang" at the beginning of the year was the work of KBS TV, and then SBS weekend reversal drama and now airing "MyGirl" was produced by SBS TV, and an eight-episode short series "Taeling Player Village" was planned and broadcast by MBC TV. It can be said that Zhang Chengyuan can have such a high popularity and popularity this year, and the joint efforts of the three major TV stations are indispensable.

Therefore, in the face of the invitation to the year-end awards ceremony of the three major TV stations, Zhang Chengyuan was embarrassed to refuse, but the KBS Acting Awards and the SBS Acting Awards were held on the same night, and it took nearly an hour's drive from the award ceremony of KBS TV to the award ceremony of SBS TV. He was only shortlisted for the New Star Award, and at the KBS Acting Awards, he was shortlisted for the Outstanding Acting Award, the Popularity Award, and the Best Couple Award (with Han Chaeyoung).

In addition, at the MBC Acting Awards, he was only shortlisted for the Popularity Award, not even the New Star Award, because he had already won the MBC New Star Award for "The Crown Prince's First Love" last year, and this kind of award can only be won once in a lifetime, so Zhang Chengyuan will naturally not be shortlisted again.

And in the popularity award, his chances of winning are extremely slim, not only because his opponent is very strong, it is Hyun Bin and Kim Xuan'er who starred in "My Name is Kim Sam Soon", but also because his "Taeling Player Village" is a short series, which is not competitive, and it cannot be compared with this year's most popular and highest-rated TV series "My name is Kim Sam Soon" (more than 50%), and another reason for the last reason is that there are only two places in the popularity award, one for each gender.

In this case, it is almost certain that this popularity award is already in the pocket of Hyun Bin and Kim Xuan'er, in other words, it is impossible for Jang Sung-won to win the award, in this case, how can the arrogant Jang Sung-won be willing to be someone else's foil? If he has a choice, he will definitely hope that the time of the MBC Acting Awards can be reversed with the SBS Acting Awards, so that he has a reason to refuse the invitation of MBC related personnel, and he can also rely on his high popularity at this time and his outstanding performance in "MyGirl" to guarantee the New Star Award of the SBS Acting Awards.

And now he politely declined SBS's invitation, and I don't know if Lu Dao will miss this award after the most difficult time, after all, SBS TV does not necessarily award the New Star Award to an actor who does not give himself face and does not have much background. Of course, it doesn't have to be that it won't be awarded.

After deciding which award ceremony to attend, Jang Sung-won didn't think much about it anymore, but Lee Do-hae, who was invited and decided to participate in the SBS Acting Awards, was a little unhappy, because if Jang Sung-won could go with her, she wouldn't have to worry about being bored to attend the award ceremony alone.

At 9:20 p.m. on December 30, Jang Sung-won arrived at the MBC TV Acting Awards about half an hour early, and was led by the staff to a round table against the wall and sat down. Because "Taelung Players' Village" is not a very popular drama, and he is the only one in the entire "Taelung's Players' Village" crew who has been invited by the TV station, he can only sit at the same table with other artists, and the arranged position is still the most corner. The actors of the big hits are usually the same crew members sitting around a table, and the seats are right in the middle of the guest seats.

However, this arrangement gave him a surprise, because one of the people at the table with him was actually Yoon Eun-hye.

After Yin Enhui saw Zhang Chengyuan, he immediately stood up with a smile to greet him, and said with a smile: "Brother Chengyuan, you are here too, I am so happy to see you!" If it was when the two of them were alone, she would naturally not be so polite, but at this time, it was a public place, and she couldn't be rude.

Zhang Chengyuan sat down on a chair beside her, then pulled her to sit down, and asked, "Enhui, why are you here too?" Naturally, Zhang Chengyuan will not be too polite to Yin Enhui, so he asks her bluntly if he has any questions. This year, in addition to the currently filmed and unaired "Palace", Yoon Eun-hye has also acted in several sitcoms, but it is impossible to be shortlisted for this award because none of these sitcoms have anything to do with MBC. Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan wondered why she would come to this award ceremony.

Yoon Eun-hye said: "I don't know too much why MBC TV wants to call us here, maybe we should be asked to promote the new drama "Palace". Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce you, this is Kim Jeong-hoon oppa, one of the stars of "Palace". He pointed to a handsome and elegant young man in a black dress beside him.

Hearing this, Kim Jeong-hoon immediately stood up and bowed to Jang Sung-won, and greeted: "Hello senior, I'm rookie actor Kim Jeong-hoon." Although he is three years older than Zhang Chengyuan, he doesn't dare to hold it up, after all, the rules of the entertainment industry have always been like this, and those who debuted early are their predecessors.

Zhang Chengyuan stood up, saluted back, and said, "Don't call me senior, you should be older than me, just call me by my name, we are equals." I am Jang Sung-won, Eun-hye's brother, please take care of Eun-hye when filming in the future. For the sake of Yoon Eun-hye's face, Jang Sung-won took the initiative to show favor slightly, but with his arrogance, it is impossible to call a newcomer a "brother", even if Kim Jeong-hoon is older than him. As for the fact that Fu does not conform to the rules of Korean etiquette, he does not pay much attention to it.

Kim Jeong-hoon said abruptly: "Actually, she is more experienced than me, and she takes care of me many times, but if I can help, I will definitely do my best." ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded, said thank you, and then turned his head to look at Yin Enhui and asked, "What are you going to do here tonight?" ”

Yin Eunhui said: "As an award presenter, by the way, promote "Palace". Brother Cheng Yuan, are you here to be shortlisted for any awards? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "Popularity Award!" ”

Yin Enhui was pleasantly surprised: "We are just about to present the popularity award, brother, maybe I can award this certificate for you." ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "No, I'm just going through the motions, and the popularity award will definitely be those two, because there are only two places." Covertly pointed to Kim Xuan'er and Hyun Bin, who were at the middle of the actor's seat, and his tone was indifferent, not at all.

Yin Enhui glanced at Zhang Chengyuan's fingers, immediately turned his head, and said regretfully: "It's a pity!" As soon as she saw Kim Xuan'er and Hyun Bin, she instantly realized that Jang Sung-won really had no chance of winning the award, because these two are so popular this year that almost no one can match. Although Zhang Chengyuan relied on the popularity of four TV series this year, he is not inferior to Hyun Bin in terms of total popularity, or even slightly surpassed, but his popularity in "Taeling Player Village" alone is definitely several times worse than Hyun Bin.
