Chapter 684: 09 KBS Acting Awards (Part II)
After asking Jang Sung-won, the three hosts asked Kim Tae-hee a few more questions, and then the couple award winners withdrew, and the first part of the KBS Acting Awards ended here.
This was followed by a singing performance, performed by the female singer Baek Ji-young, known as the "Queen of the OST", and the track she sang today was a TV drama song called "Please Don't Forget", which is the theme song of Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee in "IRIS".
When the low and mournful singing voice sounded, the audience suddenly fell silent, and Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee gradually immersed themselves in this song they were very familiar with, and slowly recalled some scenes when they were filming "IRIS" together, so the two stared at each other unconsciously. In the eyes of each other, they clearly felt each other's love for themselves, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a faint happy smile. As for whether it was filmed by the camera and sent out, and whether it would cause any scandals in the future, the two had no intention of paying attention to it at this time.
Subsequently, the three hosts appeared again, and after saying a few words about the situation, they began to introduce several TV dramas to be broadcast by KBS TV next year. This is one of the must-have programs at KBS's annual year-end acting awards, and the same is true for the other two TV stations, so everyone is not surprised, and just watches quietly.
This time, a total of three films were introduced, which are a little less than in previous years, namely "God of Learning", "Tui Nu" and "Famous Family". Among them, "God of Learning" is starring Kim so-ro and Yu Seung-ho, and Park Ji-yeon, the old man of the T-ara group known by Jang Sung-won, also participated in this drama. In addition, this drama is also a TV series invested by Zhang Chengyuan's company.
And the drama "Pushing Slave" is a TV series that Zhang Chengyuan previously selected for Li Dahai in order to reunite her popularity. Starring Jang He, Oh Ji Ho, Lee Do-hae. It was also invested by his company. In Jang Sung-won's prediction. This drama will definitely shine next year and earn a lot of returns for JSW.
As for "Famous Family", starring well-known actors Cha In-pyeon and Han Go-eun, but this drama has nothing to do with Jang Sung-won, so Jang Sung-won didn't pay much attention to it.
Since then, awards have continued to be awarded, and the Internet Popularity Award was awarded, and the winners were Jang Sung-won and the actress of "Boys Over Flowers" Goo Hye-sun. Since before that. Jang Sung-won was distracted, so he didn't realize that he had won another award at first, and was secretly kicked by Kim Tae-hee before he came to his senses. immediately walked on the stage, said a cliché of thanking the crew and thanking the fans, and then immediately walked off the stage, during which he took a few more glances at Gu Hye-sun, who also won this award.
This is not only because this Hye-sun is beautiful, but also because Jang Sung-won remembered that more than two years ago, when he went to visit Li Zhen and Jun Hye-bin in the crew of "King and Me", he had a relationship with this woman. At that time, he also wanted to sign her. It's just that she was an entertainer at JYP, and his company was weak at the time. I had to give up. However, at present, his company is full of talented actresses on the one hand, and there is no need to sign her anymore.
After the Internet Popularity Award, there is the Supporting Actor Award and the Writer Award, and the winners, Zhang Chengyuan, don't know each other, so he doesn't care. Then there is the popularity award. The difference between this award and the Internet Popularity Award is that one is selected by the judges, and the other is voted by netizens, as for which award can better represent the popularity of the actor, it is difficult to say.
Tonight's popularity award was won by Yoon Sang-hyun, Yoon Eun-hye, and Kim So-yeon. Seeing Kim So-yeon winning the award, Jang Sung-won felt a little strange, thinking that Kim Tae-hee, the more popular female number one, did not win the award, how could it be that Kim So-yeon, the second female number one in the same drama, won the award? However, it is understandable to think that the organizer may be artificially adjusting the distribution of awards, after all, he has long been used to this situation, and Kim Tae-hee does not need to use this award to prove himself, so he is too lazy to care about it. Moreover, this situation usually indicates that the person who should have won this award may win other more important awards, so he has some expectations. One glance at Kim Tae-hee revealed that she seemed to have similar thoughts.
It is worth mentioning that Kim So-yeon was extremely excited after learning of the award, although she did not cry, but when she gave her speech, she spoke faster and faster, which was amazing; But what is even more surprising is that she speaks at more than twice the speed of ordinary people, and she actually speaks quite clearly, with only occasional vagueness. After seeing her abnormal reaction, the audience laughed good-naturedly and clapped their hands in encouragement.
This was followed by a special merit award, which was awarded to an actress who had just passed away this year. Because he is a deceased actor, he has to remember again, so it took a full five minutes to end the award. Since Zhang Chengyuan did not recognize this winner, Zhang Chengyuan did not have any special feelings, but sat in his seat with a solemn face and pretended to mourn, and many others seemed to be the same.
Then the award ceremony entered the third part, which began with another singing performance, which was sung by the four sons of the TV series "The Sons of the Songyao Pharmacy" played by Son Hyun-joo, Lee Bi-mo, Han Sang-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and a piano accompanist - the girl pianist Chen Baola, and the chorus was "Magic City".
Judging from the gimmick, the appearance of these five performers is definitely eye-catching, because the drama "The Sons of the Songyao Pharmacy" is also a hit drama this year, with the highest ratings of about 45%, which is higher than Zhang Chengyuan's "IRIS", of course, this is also because this drama accounts for a large number of episodes and has a relatively long broadcast time, otherwise it is definitely not as good as "IRIS", however, this is enough to make these four people become popular actors this year, not to mention that Sun Xianzhou was originally a very famous and powerful actor. In addition, the girl pianist Chen Baola is also quite popular, after all, artistic talents are often very eye-catching, and she is quite beautiful.
It's just a pity that these four actors are not professional singers after all, and their singing skills are slightly weak, so from the perspective of artistry, they are still slightly lacking, at least worse than the previous Bai Zhiying. Of course, this is just Zhang Chengyuan's picky thoughts, and others don't care about these at all, but they are very interesting and listen to them one by one. After their performance, they gave a very warm applause.
After that, the Outstanding Actor Award began. This award is a grand prize and is divided into four categories, namely the Outstanding Actor Award for Japanese Dramas, the Outstanding Actor Award for Miniseries, the Outstanding Actor Award for Novella TV Series, and the Outstanding Actor Award for Long-Form TV Dramas. At a glance, it is clear that the establishment of these awards is to let more actors shine. However, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this arrangement, at least the difficulty of the judges' selection is reduced when there are more awards, and many actors can also use this to increase their stardom and increase their worth.
Among Jang Sung-won's sisters, tonight's finalists for the Outstanding Actor Award are Kim Tae-hee, Kim Ya-jung, and Yoon Eun-hye. Among them, Kim Ya-jung and Yoon Eun-hye were shortlisted for the Miniseries Outstanding Actress Award together. It's a pity that there is only one winner of this award tonight, which is Kim Ya-jung, so Yoon Eun-hye can only regretfully miss this trophy.
However, she has already won the Best Couple Award and the Popularity Award before, so it's okay if she didn't win this award. And if Jin Yazhong didn't win this award, then she would be empty-handed, and an actor who has won the Dazhong Award for Best Actress and has performed really well this year, if he doesn't win any awards, it will be a big shame, and it will also cause a lot of controversy.
It can be seen that the organizers sometimes have to consider some other factors when selecting the awards.
And Kim Tae-hee won the Outstanding Actor Award for the novella TV series, which is definitely much more meaningful and worthy of her attention than the popularity award for Kim Tae-hee, who has always been criticized for her acting skills and is eager to get recognition for her acting skills. So, when she won the award, she couldn't help but cry with joy, well, to be exact, she cried with joy, but she shed tears, and she didn't cry out loud. Although she was really excited and joyful, her self-cultivation and reserve did not make her cry in front of so many people.
However, this is already the most gaffe scene that Zhang Chengyuan has seen since he met her. Previously, he had never seen her shed tears except in the TV series, and she was far stronger than she looked. And at this time, she actually cried in public, which shows how excited her mood is now. It's a pity that in this kind of scene, he can only endure the love in his heart, and can't go on stage to hug her and comfort her.
After Kim Tae-hee finished his speech with tears in his eyes and returned to his seat, Jang Sung-won hurriedly handed over the tissue he urgently called the staff to find, wiped Kim Tae-hee's tears, and whispered a few words of relief to her. However, he was a little worried a little too much, but in fact, Kim Tae-hee was happy, not too sad, so he didn't need to comfort him at all. But she was still very relieved that he cared so much about her and cared about her.
After the Outstanding Actor Award, it came to the Best Actor Award. Although there is only one word difference between these two awards, the Best Actor Award is obviously much more weighty than the Outstanding Actor Award. Because the winners are usually one male and female, a total of two, unlike the Outstanding Actor Award, which has a total of 8 men and women. And the highest award of the entire awards ceremony, the final award, was also selected from among the candidates for the Best Actor Award.
It is this award that Jang Sung-won has been shortlisted for tonight, and there is a lot of hope. Because "IRIS" is the most popular TV series on KBS TV this year, and Jang Sung-won's performance is absolutely impeccable and eye-catching.
The only obstacle may be that he is still young, not yet 27 years old, but he has even won the Big Bell Award and the Blue Dragon Award before, who dares not to let him win the TV series award for this reason? Could it be that the TV series awards will be more honorable than the actors? It is important to know that in almost all countries, the status of movies is higher than that of television, and even much higher, and South Korea is no exception.
Therefore, before this award was awarded, almost everyone thought that Jang Sung-won had won the award, and tonight's result lived up to expectations, and Jang Sung-won the final award that he had been looking forward to for many years.
The reason may be that KBS TV station did not dare to take the risk of disapproval and oppose the audience, nor did it want to offend Jang Sung-won, who is now rich in assets and extremely powerful, for no reason, so this award was given to Jang Sung-won. Of course, this may be even more because there is no benefit in it, and if there is any huge benefit, they are afraid that there is nothing they dare not dare. (To be continued......)
