Time passed, April passed in a blink of an eye, and it entered May.

On May 9, 2013, the 49th Baeksang Art Awards were held at the Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University in Seoul.

In the evening of the same day, the stars were studded and star-studded.

Lee Seung-woo was dressed in a straight black suit, which set off a more handsome face, Son Ye-jin on his left hand and Lim Ji-yeon on his right, walking across the red carpet with two girls under the shine of the spotlight.

Take a photo and be interviewed by a reporter.

After dealing with two sentences casually, Lee Seung-woo turned around and walked into the hall, leaving a group of reporters with deep resentment towards Lee Seung-woo.

Participating in the award ceremony again this time is different from participating in the Big Bell Award and the Blue Dragon Award before.

At that time, although Lee Seung-woo was not unpopular, not many people took the initiative to greet Lee Seung-woo. After all, the box office of the movie "Don't Stop the Camera" is not bad, but it is more about creativity, and the whole film is a bit shoddy in all seriousness.

And because of this.

Lee Seung-woo, who has not 'proven' his strength, naturally does not have many people in the circle to recognize him.

But this time it's different.

Whether it is the popularity of the ratings of "I Want to See You" or the box office explosion of "Lost Delta", Lee Seung-woo has really built a solid foundation and has been recognized by people in the industry.

As soon as I walked into the ceremony hall, the greetings sounded one after another.

Lee Seung-woo was polite and polite, but he also kept his distance.

Sending away another artist, Lee Seung-woo exhaled lightly, and suddenly a call sounded not far away.

"Chengyou, come over and introduce you to a few seniors."

Lee Seung-woo heard about the prestige and found out that it was Choi Min-sik.

Cui Min-sik needless to say, a top Korean actor and representative of the Chungmuro acting school, is known as one of the troika of Chungmuro.

Besides.

Choi Min-sik also has an identity, a well-known alumnus of Dongguk University, and a senior from the same school as Lee Seung-woo.

Whether it is in the Korean entertainment industry or the entertainment industry in other countries, there are still circles within the circle. It is quite similar to the ancient imperial examination system, what is the teacher, the same year, according to the degree of relationship, large and small circles are divided one after another.

Lee Seung-woo was born in Dongguo University, and with such a relationship, Choi Min-sik is naturally close to Lee Seung-woo.

As a senior from the same school, although Lee Seung-woo has not yet become famous before, Choi Min-sik also has a lot of support for Lee Seung-woo, and introduced a lot of contacts to Lee Seung-woo when he participated in the Daejong Award and Blue Dragon Award ceremonies before.

Of course.

At that time, Lee Seung-woo had not yet proved his strength, even if he was introduced by Choi Min-sik, it was more just a nodding acquaintance, and he was polite on the surface, but not many people really valued Lee Seung-woo.

Seeing Cui Min-sik greeting, Lee Seung-woo hurriedly signaled to Lin Zhiyan slightly, and then walked over alone.

As for Son Ye-jin?

Son Ye-jin has debuted for so many years, so she naturally has her own circle. Seeing that Li Chengyou was here, he went to chat with his friends for the time being.

And Lim Ji-yeon?

A newcomer to the film has few connections, of course, he follows Lee Seung-woo closely, and it is convenient to make a few more contacts.

Lee Seung-woo didn't care either.

No matter how you say it, the two have also had a negative distance to learn, and Li Chengyou will not refuse to do it easily.

But at this moment, when she went to see Cui Minzhi, it was inconvenient for Lin Zhiyan to pass.

Four words –

There are not enough coffee seats!

If Lin Zhiyan is really brought over, even if Cui Minzhi and the others don't say it, they will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts.

No way.

Koreans attach great importance to seniority rank, or rather, to rank.

Lee Seung-woo himself is okay to say, after all, he is a director, and he has entered the five-million box office club, proving his strength, even if he is younger, others will no longer despise him, and can barely regard him as an equal to himself.

But Lim Ji-yeon?

A newcomer who has only debuted for less than a year, his acting skills are immature, and he has not even been nominated for the Newcomer Award, such a thin identity is like the difference between the master and the maid, who would think that the master and the maid can be on an equal footing.

Unless Lin Ji-yeon is Lee Seung-woo's girlfriend, so that others may pay some attention to Lee Seung-woo's face.

But it is obviously impossible for Lee Seung-woo to spread such a misunderstanding to the outside world.

Step forward.

There were five or six people gathered around Choi Min-sik.

In addition to Choi Min-sik, several other people Lee Seung-woo also knew ...... Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae, Park Hoon-jung, Han Seok-gyu, Yoo Seung-hun, Ha Jung-woo and so on.

Take a look, the main creators of the two movies.

One is "New World" starring Choi Min-sik, Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae and others, and the other is "Berlin" starring Han Seok-gyu, Ha Jung-woo and others.

As for Park Hoon-jung and Yoo Seung-hun, one is the director of "New World" and the other is the director of "Berlin".

Among them, Han Seok-gyu, like Choi Min-sik and Lee Seung-woo, was also born at Dongguk University. Park Hoon-jung was the screenwriter of the movie "Improper Deal" directed by Yoo Seung-hun, and Hwang Jung-min was the star of "Improper Deal".

As soon as this connection was made, the circle came out.

If Lee Seung-woo is also demarcated into a circle, he now belongs to the circle of Choi Min-sik and Han Seok-gyu, and if there are suitable works in the future, priority must be given to Choi Min-sik Han Seok-gyu and others, who made him also from Dongguk University.

In the entertainment industry, they all support each other, and it is inevitable to form gangs.

If he didn't help him, when he was famous last year, Cui Minzhi would only promote him and help him introduce contacts.

"Brother Min Zhi, Brother Shi Gui ......"

Lee Seung-woo stepped forward and bowed to the two of them first.

Then, under the introduction of Choi Min-sik, he greeted Park Hoon-jung, Yoo Seung-hyun and others one by one.

"Chengyou, I watched your "Lost Delta", which is interlocking and exquisitely structured, and the emergence of talents like you among the new generation of Korean directors shows that we have successors to Korean films, which is really a great thing worth celebrating." After saying hello, Park Hoon-jung first praised Lee Seung-woo.

I have to say.

South Korea has a small territory and limited strength, but perhaps because of this, Korean filmmakers are very united, and they are more supportive than suppressed.

"Seungwoo is truly a genius when it comes to creativity......"

Yoo Seung-hyun also praised: "Whether it is the previous "Don't Stop the Camera", or the later "I Want to See You" and "Lost Delta", Seungwoo is indeed unique and talented in terms of plot structure. ”

As the saying goes, literati are inferior to each other, and it is naturally impossible for the same director to have no heart for comparison.

For example, this year's Baeksang Art Awards.

"Berlin" and "Lost Delta" were shortlisted for Best Picture at the same time, and Lee Seung-woo and Park Hoon-jung were also shortlisted for Best New Director at the same time, but the shortlisted were shortlisted, and everyone else knew in their hearts that with Lee Seung-woo's qualifications, there was still some hope for the Best New Director Award, and there was no hope for Best Picture.

And Park Hoon-jung won the Blue Dragon Award for Best Screenplay with "Improper Dealing" two years earlier, proving himself. Lee Seung-woo is much younger than him, and in his eyes, Lee Seung-woo is just a junior.

What's more, Park Hoon-jung, who won the Best New Director Award in the film department of this year's Baeksang Arts Awards, is also full of confidence.

didn't regard Lee Seung-woo as an opponent, so naturally he didn't care about praise.
