Chapter 145 Confirmed to Play Goblin

With the final grand prize announcement, the 52nd Baeksang Arts Awards came to a successful conclusion.

The biggest winner of this year's TV category is "Descendants of the Sun".

Although they did not win the "Best TV Drama Award" and "Best Screenplay Award", the highest grand prize and the TV department's male and female popularity awards were won by Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo CP.

On the other hand, the Reply crew, despite breaking and setting records for TVN, only won the "Best Director Award" and "Best New Actor Award", which seemed a bit shabby.

The winner of the "Best TV Drama Award" and "Best Screenplay Award" was "Signal", a TVN TV series that beat "Reply 1988" and "Descendants of the Sun".

The Best Actor award went to Yoo Ah-in for "Six Flying Dragons" and the Best Actress award went to Kim Hye-soo for "Signal."

After the award ceremony, the guests and audience present left in an orderly manner.

Jin Qixuan was just about to go find screenwriter Jin Enshu, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Han Xiaozhou waving at him with a smile.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan walked over and asked:
"Nuna, how was your trip to Iceland?"

"It's great. It's a great place if you have time to travel there. But I went there at the wrong time this time, so I didn't see the aurora, which is a pity."

When talking about traveling, a bright smile spread across Han Hyo Joo's face. She took out her mobile phone to share the scenery photos she took in Iceland with Kim Ki-hyun.

After watching for a while, Han Xiaozhou finally remembered the purpose of calling Jin Qixuan over, put down the phone, and asked:
"By the way, Qixuan, when will our movie be released?"

“New Year’s Day.”

"New Year's schedule?!"

You know, the competition for movies shown at the beginning of the year is extremely fierce.

Generally speaking, the films released at the beginning of the year are blockbusters with a production cost of over 10 billion yuan.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for their film, which only cost 50 billion to produce, to become a dark horse and stand out in the fiercely competitive new year schedule.

Seeing Han Xiaozhou frowning slightly, Jin Qixuan advised:
"Nuna, don't worry too much. I think CJ has their own considerations for scheduling the film this way. After all, they won't let themselves lose money."

"Too."

Han Hyo Joo is extremely concerned about this movie. After all, her last movie "The Legend of Chusen" was a complete flop, with the total number of viewers not exceeding 30.

So, her comeback depends entirely on this movie.

If this movie "Brave Citizen" fails, she will be expelled from the Chungmuro ​​actor's hometown.

In fact, becoming a Chungmuro ​​actor does not mean you can sit back and relax.

If an actor has not produced any works for two or three consecutive years, or if three to four consecutive movies fail at the box office, he or she will be demoted to a Blue Dragon actor.

(Those who won the Best Actor/Actress, Best Newcomer, or Best Supporting Actor award at the Blue Dragon Awards can be called Blue Dragon actors, but nominations do not count.)
(Chungmuro ​​actors > Blue Dragon actors > movie actors)

(For example, after Kim Ki-Hyun won the Blue Dragon Best Newcomer Award, if he met Lee Kwang-Soo in an official and formal occasion, Lee Kwang-Soo had to use honorifics to Kim Ki-Hyun. Of course, Kim Ki-Hyun also had to use honorifics.)
There are many film and television actors who were expelled from Chungmuro, but this is the only one who was expelled twice.

The actor from Chungmuro ​​who was fired twice was none other than Kim Ki-hyeon's boss, Cha Tae-hyun.

He was promoted to a Chungmuro ​​actor with "My Sassy Girl". In the following three years, four movies failed in a row. Then he returned to the TV drama circle and was directly knocked down by "Full House" which was popular in Asia.

During those years from the peak to the trough, Cha Tae-hyun suffered from depression and once thought about committing suicide.

It was not until the two great comebacks in 08's "Super Anchor" and 10's "Happy Family" that he returned to the ranks of top actors in Chungmuro. However, in recent years, he was expelled from the Chungmuro ​​actor hometown because he was not doing his job properly, filming TV series and acting in variety shows...

In fact, Cha Tae-hyun doesn't care about these things now. After all, his achievements in the film industry are a level that some idol actors may not be able to reach in their lifetime.
Moreover, his life is already very fulfilling now. He has a medium-sized company, a beautiful wife, lovely children, and people like Song Zhongji, Park Bo Gum, and Kim Ki-hyun who work hard to make money for him...

Therefore, he can do whatever he wants. Being happy is his only life principle.

Compared to Cha Tae-hyun who has a perfect life, Han Hyo-joo is different. She is extremely career-oriented and ambitious. She cannot accept being expelled from her hometown of Chungmuro.

"Qixuan, let's take a group photo to warm up for the movie."

"Okay, Nuna."

It’s a bit late to warm up half a year in advance, and what’s worse is that the film was hyped up on social media before it even started, which aroused great expectations among the audience and fans of the actors.

After taking a few photos together, they chatted for a while and then said goodbye.

Afterwards, just as Kim Ki-hyeon met screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, Lee Hye-ri came over and bowed to her, then took him to take a photo with the 1988 crew.

Seeing that Kim Ki-hyeon was so busy, Kim Eun-sook told Kim Ki-hyeon's agent the meeting address.

After the crew took a group photo, Kim Ki-hyun continued to take private photos with Lee Hye-ri and others.

After the photo shoot, Kim Ki-hyeon said goodbye to everyone and followed Sung Byung-wook to a coffee shop near Kyung Hee University.

"Sorry, screenwriter Kim, I kept you waiting."

"It's okay, sit down."

Jin Qixuan bowed and sat opposite her, taking the rather thin script she handed him and starting to read it.

"I just asked Xue Jingqiu, and when he answered the phone, he thought I was looking for him to film a TV series. He said directly: I can't film idol romance dramas at my age."

Screenwriter Kim Eun-sook chuckled and continued:

"The filming of your drama will be completed around October, so there is still enough time."

"We will start filming in mid-August and will focus on the scenes in Quebec, Canada first. I guess you will have finished filming there by the time I come back."

"The characters you played include Wang Li from the Goryeo period, Yoo Deok-hwa, the third-generation chaebol, and Yoo Deok-hwa possessed by a god."

Jin Qixuan, who had just finished reading the character's background story, looked up in surprise and asked, "Wang Li?"

"Well, I like your majestic feeling."

As she spoke, Jin Enshu took out her mobile phone and opened the "QGkorea 2016 March Issue" - Jin Qixuan's electronic version. She showed him the cover of version A of Jin Qixuan riding a horse and said:

"Even a puppet emperor has to have such majesty. I think you can express that feeling very well."

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan nodded and said:
"Thank you, screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, for your kindness. I am willing to act in the role."

"Okay, then go to TVN to sign the contract tomorrow. There will be a script reading session around the beginning of August. I'll let you know the exact time in advance. You can take a day off then."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was stunned.

TVN? CJ again?

The four films I shot this year were all produced by CJ. If you don’t know, you might think I’m an actor under CJ.
