Chapter 377: Big Bell Award

Compared with previous Grand Bell Awards ceremonies, this year's ceremony was star-studded.

Not only did the number of actors attending reach a new high, but each competing candidate was also very strong.

The seating for this year's Grand Bell Awards is just the regular crew sitting together.

Last year, candidates from various units sat together in order to increase the tension, create a tense atmosphere and make the show more interesting.

However, as the number of attendees last year was very small, the Grand Bell Awards organizing committee was afraid that the same situation would happen again this year, so they did not do any of those fancy things.

But what they didn't expect was that due to the crazy promotion of newcomers by the Grand Bell Awards last year, those actors who had originally jointly boycotted the Grand Bell Awards also attended this year.

After all, if people don’t show up, the Grand Bell Awards organizing committee really won’t give awards…

Jin Qixuan's crew of "When a Man Falls in Love" was sitting at a round table in the third row.

The crews of "The Evil Dead" and "Parasite" were right in front of them, and everyone was not far away.

At this time, the award ceremony has not yet begun.

Everyone sat down to chat, the atmosphere was relaxed yet lively.

Unlike the previous session when he was worried about gains and losses, Jin Qixuan's mentality this time can be said to be quite relaxed.

I even feel like teasing Lee Ji-eun all the time.

Park So-dam's seat was right in front of them, and Kim Ki-hyeon kept making fun of her for being jealous of Park So-dam.

Hearing this, Li Zhien's pretty face blushed slightly, pursed her lips, stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh on Jin Qixuan's waist, and warned in a low voice:

"Don't mention it again!"

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it, I won't mention it..."

Having said that, Jin Qixuan still had a teasing smile on his face.

About half an hour later, all the guests entered the venue.

The dazzling light and shadow effects, accompanied by solemn and grand background music, announced the official start of this year's award ceremony!
After a VCR reviewing this year's works similar to previous years was played on the big screen, tonight's host came on stage.

The hosts of the Grand Bell Awards are the same as those of other award ceremonies, with one veteran and one new host.

Lee Hwi Jae is paired with Han Hye Jin.

After a simple opening speech, Lee Hwi Jae began to warm up the atmosphere and teased all the crews present, which heated up the atmosphere of the award ceremony.

And during this period.

The director also kept cutting the camera to the actors who were being teased, in order to increase interactivity and program effect.

More than ten minutes later.

The two hosts then invited the award presenters to the stage to present the Best Male and Female Newcomer Awards.

The Best New Artist Award was won by Ding Haiyin for "Yoo Yeol's Music Album".

This movie is Kim Go-eun's new work, a fresh and pure love film.

When it was released, it happened to conflict with the movie "When a Man Falls in Love", which is also about "love".

As a result, the film was instantly destroyed in terms of both box office and word of mouth.

But this did not affect Ding Haiyin's winning of the award.

Compared to other nominees, Ding Haiyin's biggest advantage is that he is the male lead in the film.

That means there are many lenses.

More shots mean that the judges can see more details of his performance.

In addition, if one's personal conditions are good and his acting skills are not ridiculously bad, he can usually win an award.

Similarly, the Best New Actress award was given to Lee Ji-eun as expected.

When the presenter reads out the winner's name.

The director also understood what he meant and cut the camera to Jin Qixuan's face.

Just as the director expected.

The next second, Lee Ji-eun entered the camera.

Before Jin Qixuan had the chance to applaud and congratulate, he felt a soft jade in his arms.

"Congratulations, go and claim your award and hug it when you get home."

Jin Qixuan quickly smiled and patted her on the back gently.

"Ah."

Lee Ji-eun nodded and let go of Kim Ki-hyeon, then she lifted her skirt, bent down to return the greeting, and walked up to the podium.

The audience who saw the two hugging each other on the big screen instantly burst into screams like a kettle boiling, even louder than when Lee Ji-eun won the award...

At the same time, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room flooded in like a tide.

"Ah, IU cuddle up with her husband as soon as she wins an award, so sweet!"

“IU: Honey, I won an award, praise me!”

"The director understands us so well. The cut is just right. The sweet interaction between Kim Ki-hyun and IU is more addictive than the movie!"

"This dog food was even sprinkled at the award ceremony..."

"You two should get married soon. I have prepared the money for your gift!"

"I don't agree with this marriage! Jin Qixuan, stay away from my wife!"

"Someone upstairs is crazy, drag him away, next one!"

"..."

As IU made her way onto the stage, the narrator began to give a summary of her performance in When a Man Falls in Love.

"IU's Zhou Haoting successfully created a three-dimensional and charming female character with her real and natural acting."

“Her performance is full of genuine emotion, whether it is laughter or tears, it can deeply touch the hearts of the audience.”

"Let us once again congratulate IU for winning the Best New Actress Award at the 56th Grand Bell Awards!"

While the narration was introducing the summary of Lee Ji-eun's performance, clips of her wonderful performance in "When a Man Loves" were constantly shown on the big screen.

After a while.

IU went on stage and after the award presenters bowed to each other, she received the trophy from them.

Then, he slowly stood in front of the microphone holding the trophy.

Under the spotlight on the stage, her skin was so white that it was glowing, and her beautiful facial features made everyone stunned for a moment.

She first thanked the organizing committee and judges for their recognition of her.

Then, he thanked the entire crew of "When a Man Falls in Love" and all the staff in front of and behind the scenes for their efforts.

Finally, I would like to thank IUTeam for their help, U Aina for their support, my family for their care, and Jin Qixuan for his company.

As Li Zhien spoke, the audience burst into warm applause again.

At the same time, the director understood what he meant and cut the camera to Jin Qixuan's face.

At this moment, there was a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were full of doting and pride for Lee Ji-eun.

It was as if he was the one who won the award.

This shot instantly ignited the live broadcast room.

"The way Jin Qixuan looks at IU is full of love!"

"Yes, this look is so gentle that it can drip water!"

"IU was shining brightly on the stage, and Kim Ki-hyun was silently supporting her from the audience. What a fairy tale love!"

"..."

IU ended her speech amid warm applause.

After bowing again to express her gratitude, she slowly walked off the stage with a smile on her face, holding the trophy in one hand and the hem of her skirt in the other.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan immediately stood up to greet him.

"Interview our beautiful Miss Jieun. How does she feel after winning the Best New Actress award?"

"Happy, I want to eat roasted pig's trotters tonight."

"Eat out or at home?"

"At home."

"Then I'll ask the chef to prepare it in advance."

"Hmm~"

The two were chatting quietly.

At this time, the award presenter came on stage to present the Best New Director Award. After a brief introduction, the big screen played clips of the five nominated directors' works.

The first song played was "When a Man Falls in Love".

Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun also stopped talking at this moment and looked up at the big screen at the same time.

All I saw was the clear blue sky.

The heroine played by Lee Ji-eun was walking on the road with her head down, biting a popsicle.

The male protagonist played by Jin Qixuan was beside her, also eating popsicles and stealing glances at her from time to time.

Neither of them spoke, but a warm atmosphere permeated along with the background music.

Seeing this scene, both of them couldn't help but think back to the time when they took the photos.

“It feels like it just happened yesterday.”

Jin Qixuan chuckled and sighed softly.

"Yeah, time flies so fast."

Li Zhien also nodded with emotion.

At this moment, the warm and sweet scene on the big screen changed.

The male protagonist played by Jin Qixuan suddenly moved to the left side of the female protagonist and forced her to the edge of the screen.

The heroine played by Lee Ji-eun blinked her big eyes and looked at him blankly.

At the latter's prompt, she slowly turned her head and looked at the sign. Then, she glared at him unhappily, folded her arms, and walked away angrily.

At this time, the camera slowly moved upwards following Jin Qixuan's gaze.

I saw that the sign read "Motel".

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this scene, the audience burst into laughter.

This scene is considered one of the famous scenes in this movie.

In the end, Han Dongyu won the Best New Director award.

no way.

Whether in terms of work ratings or box office results, the movie "When a Man Loves" crushed the other four.

After the Best New Director Award, the "Best Costume Award" began to be presented.

None of the three works starred by Jin Qixuan were shortlisted for this award.

However, in the following "Best Art Direction", Jin Qixuan made two appearances on the big screen with "Parasite" and "When a Man Falls in Love".

The clip played in "Parasite" is the one where he and Park So Dam are squatting next to the toilet looking for wifi.

"When a Man Falls in Love" plays a selection of clips of Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun crying under a street light.

In the end, the award was won by "Savaha".

"Savaha" is a very excellent suspense film starring Lee Jung-jae.

The film combines Western theology like "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Wailing" with Eastern metaphysics, using three narrative lines of "ghosts", "priests" and "mysterious new religion" to uncover a cruel conspiracy that has been hidden for many years.

Unfortunately, after the film was released, it was suspected of portraying Daejongism as a cult, leading to lawsuits from believers.

The dark horse movie that was expected to attract millions of viewers in a single weekend ended up with a dismal admission of just over 230 million.

Therefore, a movie’s high box office performance really depends on the right time, place and people.

After the "Best Art Award" comes the "Best Screenplay Award", one of the most important awards.

The clip selected by "Parasite" for this award is the one in which Kim Ki-woo, played by Kim Kye-hyun, reads the Morse code sent by Kim Ki-taek outside the villa through a telescope on the snowy mountains.

As expected, the first major award was won by "Parasite".

Seeing this, Li Zhien couldn't help but poke Jin Qixuan and asked in a low voice:

"You're on camera too often, aren't you? You've appeared on camera four times with just a few awards."

"Uh……"

Jin Qixuan was also a little confused.

He was only nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor.

At this rate, conservatively speaking, he will show up twice more...

But six times proved impossible.

For the next "Best Original Score Award", Jin Qixuan made three more appearances with "When a Man Falls in Love", "The Devil", and "Parasite".

Then came the finale of the first half - the Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards.

After the two award presenters chatted for a while on the stage, the big screen at the scene started to play the selected clips of the five nominees one by one.

This clip shows Kim Ki-woo, played by Kim Kye-hyun, going crazy and stupid after the birthday party murder.

To be honest, no matter how you look at it, this award will be won by Jin Qixuan.

After all, he has more scenes in "Parasite" than Song Kang-ho, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he can compete for the Best Actor award, let alone the Best Supporting Actor award.

After a while.

After the performance clips of the five candidates were played on the big screen, the award presenter opened the envelope in his hand.

"The winner of this year's Grand Bell Awards for Best Supporting Actor is..."

The award presenter raised his head, looking through the crowd and directly at Jin Qixuan, saying:

"Congratulations to Kim Ki-hyun, the actor who plays Kim Ki-woo in Parasite!"

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

A burst of enthusiastic screams rang out from the audience seats below the stage.

The senior and junior actors in the guest seats all looked at the youngest Grand Slam winner since the establishment of the Daejong Awards.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all had smiles on their faces at this moment and applauded him sincerely.

"Congratulations!!!"

On the side, Lee Ji-eun took the lead and gave him a big hug.

Immediately afterwards, Director Han Dongyu also stood up and hugged him.

On his way to the stage.

Ma Dong-seok, Kim Mu-yeol, and all the crew members of "Parasite" came over to hug him, with smiles on their faces that showed they were genuinely happy for him.

At the same time, the live broadcast room was also in an uproar.

"Big win!! Jin Qixuan is totally big win!!!"

"Congratulations!!!"

"Too awesome! This award is so easy to get."

"The youngest Grand Bell Award winner (Newcomer, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor), this record is probably unprecedented and will never be surpassed, right?"

"Jin Qixuan is an absolutely talented actor. His acting skills are amazing."

“This award was won too quickly.”

"..."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jin Qixuan took the trophy from the award presenter and then stood in front of the microphone.

His speech was similar to what Lee Ji-eun said.

It's all very official.

After giving his speech, Jin Qixuan walked down from the stage amid applause.

IU took the Best Supporting Actor trophy from him and compared it with her own Best New Actress trophy.

As expected, apart from the different models and names, the materials and weight are the same.

Soon, the camera turned to the next award - Best Supporting Actress.

What surprised Jin Qixuan was that when Li Zhenyin's clips were playing, there were also shots of him.

Including this paragraph.

In the first half of the award ceremony, Jin Qixuan appeared on camera nine times.

When everyone saw Lee Young-eun with a bruised face riding on her husband's back to massage him, the camera turned to show Kim Ki-hyeon, Song Kang-ho and the other three kneeling on the ground with their hands raised in grievance.

The audience burst into laughter instantly.
