Peninsula Entertainment started from Reply 1988

Chapter 275: Renewal of contract with Gucci, endorsement of three luxury brands, and soaring international influence!

Jin Qixuan's name echoed in the venue, as if it had a magical power, instantly making the scene boil.

The fans were so excited that they could not sit still and stood up one after another. Cheers and screams surged like a tide, drowning the entire venue in a warm atmosphere.

Jin Qixuan was stunned by this sudden good news, as if time had stopped at that moment.

Until Xue Jingqiu beside him patted his shoulder lightly and shouted excitedly:

"Qixuan, it's you! You won the prize!"

Only then did he wake up from his dream.

"Qixuan, what are you standing there for? Go now!"

Director Bian Chengxian also urged with a smile.

Seeing this, Kim Ki-hyeon stood up and hugged Seol Kyung-gu, Byeon Sung-hyun, Kim Hee-won and others one by one.

He then straightened his suit and walked towards the stage with firm steps.

As Jin Qixuan walked toward the stage, his seniors cast admiring glances at him and expressed their support and encouragement with applause.

Zhao In-seong and Cha Tae-hyun smiled and patted his shoulders.

At the same time, the announcer's voice echoed passionately in the venue, introducing Jin Qixuan's outstanding performance:

"In the movie 'The Untamed', Kim Ki-Hyun successfully portrayed the role of undercover policeman Hyun-Soo, and his performance was very lifelike. With his deep and calm eyes and calm tone of voice, he gave a new connotation to the undercover role, which was well received by the audience. Let us once again express our warm congratulations to him for winning the award!"

The words fell.

Jin Qixuan walked calmly onto the stage and bowed to the award presenter to show his respect. He then took the flowers and trophy and stood upright in front of the microphone.

At this moment, the spotlights on the stage focused on him, outlining his tall figure and handsome face.

"Hello everyone, I am Jin Qixuan."

As Jin Qixuan finished speaking, the entire venue became lively again.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

Screams and cheers rose and fell, like surging waves.

Jin Qixuan nodded slightly with a gentle smile on his face. He looked around and saw those familiar faces.

"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Blue Dragon jury. At the same time, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the CJ production team for their efforts in the careful production of this work. I would also like to thank Director Byeon Sung-hyun and seniors Sol Kyung-gu, Kim Hee-won, and Jeon Hye-jin for their superb acting skills, which laid a solid foundation for the success of "The Untamed". Of course, I would also like to thank every member of the crew for their silent dedication and hard work."

Jin Qixuan paused for a moment and continued:
"I would also like to thank Uncle Taehyun, Brother Joong-ki, Brother Zhou Huan, and Baojian from Blossom Company, as well as my family Uncle Jong-kook, my grandparents, my sister, and Samp Bunny... I would like to especially thank my fans. It is your support and love that has made me what I am today. Every shout and every support from you is my motivation to move forward. I will continue to work hard and repay you with better works."

After saying that, Jin Qixuan nodded again and bowed deeply.

Upon seeing this, the scene erupted into thunderous applause and cheers.

The applause surged like a tide, one wave higher than the other, seeming to drown the entire venue.

The cheers were deafening, gathering into an invisible force that stirred everyone's heart.

At the same time, the live broadcast interface presented a lively scene.

The overwhelming barrage of comments came like a rolling flood.

They were like colorful streams converging together, instantly filling up the screen of the live broadcast room.

"Ahhhhh our Xuanxuan won the award!"

“I’m so excited that I can’t breathe!!!”

"Grand Slam, our Xuanxuan is awesome!"

"There are too many actors and too few performers. Well done to Jin Qixuan!"

"I was moved by his crying Sun Woo the first time I saw him."

"That's right, Jin Qixuan's acting skills are really first-rate. I am deeply moved every time I watch his performances. This award is well deserved!"

"Congratulations to our Xuanxuan!!"

……

Under the bright lights of the Peace Hall, countless spectators raised their mobile phones to record the glorious moment of Jin Qixuan holding the trophy.

This precious picture seems to have frozen time, engraving his glory and splendor forever in people's hearts.

The Grand Slam of Newcomer Awards is an honor that is unique and unprecedented in the history of Peninsula films.

However, Jin Qixuan successfully won the title with his talent and hard work and created his own legend.

Many people immediately posted photos and videos of the scene to various chat groups and SNS, using words to express their excitement about witnessing history.

On the Internet, various topics and hot searches exploded instantly.

Jin Qixuan's name and his Rookie Award Grand Slam honor are like a bright meteor, streaking through the night sky and lighting up the entire online world.

"Jin Qixuan's newcomer grand slam!"

“An unprecedented honor for Peninsula Films!”

"Jin Qixuan deserves the title for witnessing this historic moment!"

……

Countless netizens left messages expressing their admiration and congratulations to Jin Qixuan.

The number of comments and likes on his personal social media account instantly reached a new height.

Many official IG accounts of products endorsed by Jin Qixuan also left messages of congratulations.

"Congratulations on winning the Blue Dragon Award for Best New Actor!"

“Congratulations, congratulations, and look forward to more wonderful works in the future!”

……

At the same time, major media also reported this grand event, spreading Jin Qixuan's glorious moment to every corner.

"The shining pearl of the Peninsula film industry - Jin Qixuan!"

"From an unknown to a newcomer who won the Grand Slam, his career is as bright as a star!"

"Jin Qixuan is the most popular actor, and the Blue Dragon Awards stage has set off a frenzy!"

……

At the award ceremony at the Peace Hall, Jin Qixuan returned to his seat with his trophy and was once again greeted with cheers from his crewmates.

As a member of the crew of "Bhunter", Jin Qixuan was the first to win an award among ten nominations.

It undoubtedly won a good start for the entire crew and also foreshadowed good luck in the future.

The trophy was passed from one person to another, and everyone wanted to share in his joy.

In a moment, the title of the new actress on the stage was settled.

The winner is still the highly anticipated Cui Xixu.

Poor sister Yoona has to run away again.

Speaking of which, Cui Xixu and Jin Qixuan's achievements are quite similar.

They all conquered the jury with their outstanding acting skills and strength, sweeping away all the competitors.

She won the Best New Actress awards at the three major film festivals, Blue Dragon, Daejong and Baeksang Film Festival, and this achievement undoubtedly demonstrated her extraordinary status in the film and television industry.

However, for her, who is already 32 years old, such honor seems to come a little late.

After all, Han Hyo-joo, who is one year younger than her, has already won the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress.

It's interesting though.

Choi Hee-seo achieved a grand slam in the three major awards for newcomers, which is a rare honor in itself.

However, she failed to win again in some small awards and second-class awards, and failed to achieve the same Newcomer Award Grand Slam as Jin Qixuan.

However, life is always full of unknowns and variables.

Perhaps, it is these regrets and shortcomings that make life more interesting.

In a blink of an eye, the atmosphere of the award ceremony became more and more heated, and the audience's heartbeats accelerated with the announcement of each award.

In this series of honors, the Best Cinematography Lighting Award and the Best Cinematography Award were both won by the film "Bhunga", which is undoubtedly a high praise for the skills of the film's shooting team.

The atmosphere at the scene reached a boiling point when Kim Hee-won won the Best Supporting Actor award.

Kim Hee-won walked onto the stage with his signature smile, accepting congratulations and applause from all sides.

The Blue Dragon Film Festival was originally praised as a grand event that allows a hundred flowers to bloom, is balanced and fair, and aims to showcase the diversity and prosperity of the peninsula's film industry.

However, as the awards were announced one by one, many people found that this film festival seemed to have become the exclusive stage for the crew of "Bhunga", and more like a victory gathering for them.

Once this thought arose in everyone's minds, everyone's attitude towards Jin Qixuan subtly changed again.

Jin Qixuan has long been the representative of ratings koi on major TV stations.

But at this moment, his influence seems to go far beyond what this title can cover.

In tradition, good feng shui often refers to a prosperous husband or wife, but now Jin Qixuan seems to have become the "lucky star" of the entire crew.

Not only has he achieved great success in his personal career, he also seems to have brought good luck and success to the entire "Bhunhak" crew.

This kind of influence is astonishing.

Can this... really bring prosperity to the whole family???

In an instant, those people in the venue who felt that they were unlucky straightened their backs, with gleams in their eyes, and began to secretly consider the possibility of seeking cooperation with Jin Qixuan.

They know that Jin Qixuan is not only a ratings favorite, but also a popular star. Working with him will undoubtedly bring good luck and opportunities for success.

Some people began to exchange glances secretly and discuss specific cooperation plans in a low voice, trying to find opportunities for common development with Jin Qixuan.

Others began to organize their image and information, preparing to extend an olive branch to Jin Qixuan at the right time.

"Hello, Jin Qixuanxi?"

At this time, Ha Zhengyu came from somewhere and patted Jin Qixuan on the shoulder from behind.

"Congratulations, we have gained a lot tonight."

Jin Qixuan turned his head and immediately put on a smile.

This person is also one of the philatelic members of his uncle’s circle.

"Thank you, Ha Jung-woo."

Jin Qixuan responded respectfully.

"Speaking of gains, I wonder if you are interested in movies about rural themes?"

As he spoke, Ha Zhengyu took out his cell phone and said to Jin Qixuan:
"I'm currently planning to shoot a rural-themed movie. The copyright for this movie was imported from Huaxia. It's called "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". I think the script is very profound. If the schedule allows, can we finish and chat about it later?"

"what?"

Just as Jin Qixuan was stunned, a hearty laugh suddenly broke out beside him. A director laughed and said:
"Hahaha, what does a good harvest have to do with selling blood???"

After saying that, he also took out his cell phone and showed it to Jin Qixuan:
"I have a romantic movie project here. If you are willing to participate, the choice of the heroine can be determined according to your wishes."

At the same time, another director came over and said:
"Hey, Qixuan, are you going to return to the small screen? A fantasy-themed romance drama will definitely take your popularity to the next level!"

……

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan was a little amused and took out his mobile phone to add these directors as friends one by one.

Witnessing this scene, fans took out their mobile phones from their pockets or bags, turned on the camera function, and quickly aimed at the scene where Jin Qixuan was surrounded by many directors, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Once the photos were uploaded to the Internet, they instantly caused heated discussion.

"Directors are all vying for Jin Qixuan. Is this going to start a new wave of collaboration?"

"Hahaha, my Xuanxuan is so popular!"

"Yeah, yeah, it feels like a lot of directors are vying for him!"

"This is a reflection of his strength. Jin Qixuan's acting skills and popularity are there, so naturally he attracted the attention of many directors."

"But this way, our Xuanxuan will have more choices. I look forward to his next work!"

"Qixuan is really amazing. Not only is he a good actor, but he can also make the crew prosperous. Who wouldn't want to work with him?"

"Xuanxuan has become a hot commodity now, kkk~"

"It looks like Jin Qixuan is going to dominate the screen. I'm really looking forward to his new work!"

……

As time goes by, the Blue Dragon Film Festival Awards Ceremony has quietly come to an end.

When the last award was finally announced, the entire audience seemed to be ignited, with thunderous applause and cheers.

Although the crew of "Bhunga" did not sweep all the awards, winning half of the ten nominations is already a dazzling and impressive report card.

Sol Kyung-gu missed the Best Actor award, and the honor finally fell on Song Kang-ho's shoulders.

Because Kim Hee Won won the Best Supporting Actor award.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a movie to produce both the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards.

In the history of the Blue Dragon Awards, this award has only appeared twice, at the first and 31st sessions. So, despite some regrets, Sol Kyung-gu is still happy about the performance of this film.

That night, in order to celebrate this glorious moment, the crew of "Bhunhak" specially held a small celebration banquet and live-streamed the entire process to interact with the audience.

There was constant laughter and joy at the celebration banquet, and everyone shared the joy and honor.

The actors expressed their gratitude to each other and thanked each other for their support and help during the filming process.

The audience also sent their most sincere blessings and congratulations to the crew and actors through live interaction.

……

After winning the Grand Slam of the Newcomer Award, Jin Qixuan's value has skyrocketed rapidly and the results are immediate.

This significant change immediately attracted the attention of major brands, among which Gucci acted quickly and has begun discussing contract renewal matters with Jin Qixuan.

Jin Qixuan's current contract with Gucci will expire in March next year, but this time the title of the renewal was unexpectedly upgraded to global spokesperson, which is undoubtedly a high recognition of his recent achievements.

However, Sheng Bingxu was not led by Gucci this time, because he knew very well that Jin Qixuan is no longer the same as before.

He has more choices and more say.

Ever since it took first place on the red list at the last fashion show in Milan, Jin Qixuan has attracted the attention of many other red and blue blood brands.

These brands have contacted Jin Qixuan privately, hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with him.

Faced with this situation, the "non-competition clause" proposed by Gucci naturally became the focus of negotiations between the two parties.

Sheng Bingxu was well aware of the restrictions and constraints this clause imposed on Jin Qixuan.

He knew that Jin Qixuan was no longer the newcomer who was at the mercy of others. He had enough strength and influence to fight for his own rights.

Therefore, at the negotiating table, Sheng Bingxu expressed his position very tactfully.

"As you know, Qixuan is now in the rising stage of his career. His potential and influence are constantly increasing, but the current situation is a bit complicated."

Sheng Bingxu smiled and began to explain the dilemma they were facing:

"Zenith and Bulgari are two major brands that value Qixuan's image and market value very much. They really hope that Qixuan can wear their products in public."

He paused for a moment, observed the Gucci representative's reaction, and then continued:
“However, this involves the issue of our contract with your company. The original competition restriction clause seems a bit inappropriate in this case. After all, Zenith and Bulgari’s products are not direct competitors of Gucci, but we don’t want to violate the agreement with Gucci by wearing products of other brands.”

Sheng Bingxu's tone remained polite and sincere throughout. He knew that in negotiations he had to express his position but not be too tough and cause dissatisfaction on the other side.

“So, the choices we face now are: either not to renew the contract after it expires to maintain good relations with major brands; or to negotiate with your company to make appropriate modifications to the original competition restriction clause to adapt to the current market environment and cooperation needs.”

He spread his hands and made a helpless but frank gesture:
"We cherish the opportunity to cooperate with Gucci and hope to continue to work together. But at the same time, we cannot ignore the willingness of other brands to cooperate. After all, in the ever-changing stage of the entertainment industry, more choices mean more opportunities."

Gucci obviously anticipated this situation.

After all, Jin Qixuan is very popular now, and he has a wide range of options.

At the same time, they also realized that although the non-competition clause protected the brand exclusivity to a certain extent, it might also lead to the loss of the newly cultivated spokesperson.

Therefore, if they want to continue to retain Jin Qixuan, they have to consider providing him with more resources and support.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Gucci representative finally gave in and said:
"We can modify the competitive restriction clause appropriately, but the specific content of the modification needs further discussion. After all, as a luxury brand, Gucci has strict standards for the image and requirements of spokespersons. We hope to find a balance that can both meet Mr. Jin Qixuan's diversified development needs and maintain the image and interests of our brand."

Hearing the answer from the Gucci representative, Sheng Bingxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this was the biggest concession Gucci could make.

So he nodded, indicating that he agreed to continue discussing the specific content of the revised terms.

In the following period of time, the two parties conducted in-depth discussions and negotiations on the modification of the competition restriction clauses.

Gucci said they are willing to relax restrictions on Jin Qixuan's endorsement of competing products, but still hope to maintain a certain degree of brand exclusivity.

However, Sheng Bingxu insisted that as an artist, Jin Qixuan needed diversified development space and should not be bound by too many restrictions.

After intense discussions and compromises, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

Gucci agreed to relax its competitive restriction clause, allowing Jin Qixuan to maintain a certain degree of flexibility in endorsing other brands.

Jin Qixuan also promised that when endorsing other brands, he would fully consider Gucci's brand image and interests to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

With the agreement reached between the two parties, Jin Qixuan's contract renewal and title upgrade with Gucci were also successfully finalized.

It goes without saying that Gucci values ​​Jin Qixuan.

They have prepared abundant resources and support for this global spokesperson.

I hope he can continue to shine in the future and bring more surprises to the brand.

Jin Qixuan also knows the importance of this contract.

He understood that he needed to work harder and continuously improve his strength and influence in order to repay Gucci's trust and support.

At the same time, the two major brands Zenith and Bulgari also extended olive branches to Jin Qixuan.

As a top Swiss watchmaking brand, Zenith has always been renowned worldwide for its exquisite craftsmanship and excellent quality.

They admire Jin Qixuan's elegant temperament and unique taste very much and hope that he can become the global spokesperson for the brand.

Bulgari is world-famous for its unique jewelry design and luxurious style.

They were impressed by Jin Qixuan's influence and appeal in the fashion industry and hoped that he could become the brand's fashion ambassador, injecting more youth and vitality into the brand.

Faced with the invitations from the two major brands, Jin Qixuan naturally accepted their intention to cooperate.

Therefore, while renewing his contract with Gucci, he also signed cooperation agreements with Zenith and Bulgari.

The signing of these three important contracts not only means that Kim Ki-hyun will continue to maintain his leading position in the Korean entertainment industry.

It also means that he has greater influence and voice in fashion and luxury brands.

In this way, Jin Qixuan successfully became one of the top international luxury brand spokespersons, standing shoulder to shoulder with many first-line stars.

Today, he holds the titles of global spokesperson for Gucci, Zenith and Fairy Water, plus the title of brand ambassador for Bulgari. Such achievements are enough to make him stand out in the Korean entertainment industry.

In terms of commercial value and influence, Jin Qixuan is already an unrivaled leader in the peninsula region.

With the news that Jin Qixuan renewed his contract with Gucci and signed cooperation agreements with Zenith and Bulgari, the entire entertainment and fashion circles were shocked.

Jin Qixuan's name quickly made headlines in major news and became the focus of everyone's attention.

Jin Qixuan also shared the good news on his personal INS as soon as possible, and wrote:
“I am honored to continue to work with Gucci, and I am very grateful to Zenith and Bulgari for their recognition and trust in me. In the future, I will continue to work hard, constantly improve myself, and bring more excellent works and surprises to everyone. Thank you to all those who support me, let us create a better future together!”

This post on Instagram quickly triggered a warm response from fans, with the number of likes and comments continuing to rise.

"Congratulations to Jin Qixuan for renewing his contract with Gucci and getting promoted! That's awesome!"

"The newcomer award has won the Grand Slam, and now it has cooperated with multiple luxury brands. Jin Qixuan is about to take off!"

"Great! Jin Qixuan has not only transformed from an unconditional follower of established rules to a new rule maker who breaks the old and establishes the new, but also demonstrated his unparalleled international business value and the unique charm of his personal big IP! Congratulations!"

"Haha, my Xuanxuan is really awesome. Congratulations!"

"Great! Keep going, Xuanxuan!"

“The first three luxury brands in China, so awesome!!”

……

Jin Qixuan himself also expressed his gratitude to everyone through social media, and promised to continue working hard to bring more excellent works and performances to everyone.

Major media outlets have also begun reporting on Jin Qixuan's achievements and influence, praising him to the sky.

As these reports and comments spread.

Kim Ki-hyun's popularity and influence on the peninsula are already on par with national-level figures like Yoo Jae-suk.

At the same time, after hearing what Lee Hye-ri said, Yoo Jun-yeol's slender willow-leaf eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

"What? Jin Qixuan renewed his contract with Gucci and was promoted to a global title?"

Li Huili nodded and praised:

"Yeah, he also reached cooperation intentions with Zenith and Bulgari at the same time. Wow, that's really amazing~"

"How can this be??"

He was already very unhappy because Jin Qixuan had snatched away countless Best Newcomer awards.

Because his roles in "The King" and "Taxi Driver" are limited, they can't compare to Jin Qixuan's movies where he is the entire character.

So, he comforted himself at that time.

Although Jin Qixuan is very popular now, it is ultimately just a flash in the pan.

With that face of his, he is destined to play only cool roles.

So what if I win the Rookie of the Year Grand Slam?
If you want to survive in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry for a long time, that kind of vase will definitely not last long.

When it comes to acting skills, he is not afraid of Jin Qixuan at all.

In terms of resources, C-jeS is much stronger than Blossom.

C-jeS is an actor agency famous for training Chungmuro ​​actors. The number of actors from Chungmuro ​​under its agency far exceeds that of Blossom.

Therefore, he had already vaguely foreseen that by the time he won the Best Actor award, Jin Qixuan would have returned to the TV drama industry in disgrace.

But unexpectedly, Jin Qixuan brought such good news in the blink of an eye.

This made him even more wary and alert towards Jin Qixuan.

In the entertainment industry, both strength and popularity are indispensable.

Jin Qixuan now has the blessing of these two, and his future development prospects are bright.

In addition to jealousy, he now feels more of an invisible pressure.

After all, Jin Qixuan's success seemed to come too easily, making him begin to doubt whether he also had the opportunity to reach such a height.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. How about taking this opportunity to give him a good beating?"

Lee Hye-ri put down her phone and suggested with a smile.

"Don't go."

Liu Junyeol rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.

"Why??"

Li Huili was a little confused.

"We have not been friends for a long time. Now that he is a head taller than us, how can he look up to us?"

"No, he's not that kind of person."

Liu Junlie sneered and said:
"There are no real friends in the entertainment industry. It's all just an exchange of interests."

Then, Liu Junlie stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He admitted that he was now jealous of Jin Qixuan's success.

"But……"

Lee Hye-ri wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yoo Jun-yeol.

“Don’t say but, Hyeri.”

Liu Junlie turned around and looked at Li Huili, with an unquestionable firmness in his eyes:

"What we need now is to focus on our own careers instead of getting involved in meaningless social activities."

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the jealousy and resentment in his heart into his lungs, and then slowly expel it.

Lee Hye-ri remained silent and looked at Yoo Jun-yeol with complicated eyes.

"Come on, have a drink with me."

Liu Junlie seemed to be in a very annoyed mood. He said this and turned away.

Li Huili looked at his departing back, feeling a little uneasy.

These days, Liu Junlie has been in a bad mood and seems to be under a lot of pressure.

At first, Lee Hye-ri thought he was feeling regretful and unhappy because he lost to Kim Ki-hyun at the awards ceremony.

But after these few days, Li Huili discovered that things were far from as simple as she had imagined.

……

With the finale of the Blue Dragon Film Festival at the end of November, the 2017 Peninsula film industry award ceremony season has come to an end.

Then, throughout December, the peninsula ushered in the music industry's award ceremony season and the three major TV stations' year-end awards season.

Jin Qixuan also began his busy work schedule.

Not only does he have to shoot new advertisements and promotional photos for the three major brands, Gucci, Zenith and Bulgari, but he is also invited to be the award presenter at various ceremonies.

Although he is busy with work, Jin Qixuan enjoys it.

December, 3rd.

Jin Qixuan was invited to attend the MMA awards ceremony.

This time he is presenting the "Album of the Year" award, but the specific recipient will not be announced until the award is announced on site.
