Coincidentally, he had nothing to do today. The number of people who had watched the movie had already exceeded 4 million. Xu Zhixuan, who was resting at home, was surfing the internet out of boredom. Song Ji-hyo had already rushed to catch up with her schedule. Ever since RM became popular in South Korea, the regular MC in the movie had received a lot of attention. As for why Xu Zhixuan was not busy, there was no other reason. He had rejected all the advertisers because he wanted to bet on himself to win the Best Actor award. That way, the advertising fees would be significantly higher.
"Zhixuan, I have received the list of nominees for the 47th Grand Bell Awards. You have been nominated for the Best Actor Award!"
Choi Ho-woon's excited voice could be heard from the phone. After all, there was no manager who did not wish to have a Best Actor under them. Ever since "The Lone Agent" became popular in South Korea, everyone knew about the uncles. Many young girls had changed the nickname of their boyfriends to "uncles". This caused the "uncles" culture of the past few years to once again sweep through South Korea.
The "uncles" culture started from the earliest days when Wen Genying and Jin Laiyuan acted in the movie "My Little Bride". In the movie, the "uncles" element gradually rose to prominence. Following that, the classic sad idol drama directly caused the "uncles" element to explode. This caused Su Zhixie to become famous in the entertainment industry as an "uncle".
Six years in the Shige, Xu Zhixuan's return was an even more direct, cool and mesmerizing movie, 'The Lone Agent'. The character that Xu Zhixuan played was the epitome of an uncle. Even if one didn't look at the movie's results, just take Xu Zhixuan for example. Now, whenever he left the house, housewives older than him would act like little girls and chase after him, calling him uncle. This was the reason why Xu Zhixuan was cooped up at home even though it was rare for him to have a holiday.
"Really? Who are my competitors? "
Xu Zhixuan was very calm about his nomination. After all, even his teacher, Lee Shunzai, had made a move, not to mention the popularity of "The Lone Agent". If the Grand Bell Awards really dared to reject Xu Zhixuan, then this movie award would be over.
"Lee Byeong Hyun is nominated, but we still don't know which movie he relied on. Song Seung Hyun was pulled in to make up the numbers, so he is not a threat to you. Hyun Bin and Zhu Zhenmo's abilities are limited. Although they may pose a threat to you, the most dangerous one is Choi Min-Sik... His performance in" The Devil "was very well received, so the Best Actor Award..." Choi Ho-woon told Xu Zhixuan.
Xu Zhixuan quickly searched the Internet for the people that Choi Ho-woon mentioned. As he said, the most dangerous person was Choi Min-Sik. This person was an old actor. He was born in Seoul, South Korea on May 30, 1962. He was a Korean actor and graduated from Seoul University's Acting and Film Department.
In 1999, Choi Min-Sik's "Life and Death Spy" was regarded as the starting point of Korean commercial films. In 2003, his "Old Boys" won the Grand Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival and swept the Best Actor Award at the Grand Bell Awards, Green Dragon Awards, and Baeksang Arts Awards. The Korean media called him "a milestone in Korean film history."
It was easy to imagine that to compete with such a person for the Best Actor Award, even if Xu Zhixuan had Lee Shunzai behind him, the pressure was not small. But would Xu Zhixuan be afraid? No, because there was no need to. Confidence made him look down on all his enemies.
Xu Zhixuan searched for some of Choi Min-Sik's previous movies and watched them for a whole day. He had to admit that Choi Min-Sik's acting skills were much better than his. This might have something to do with his life experience. He then searched for the movie "Seeing the Devil" that was uploaded on the Internet. Korean pirated versions were everywhere. Although it was not very clear, Xu Zhixuan could feel that Choi Min-Sik's role as a psychopathic murderer in the movie "Seeing the Devil" had left a deep impression on him, let alone others.
"Amazing, but I will step on your body and walk to the Best Actor Award!" Although Xu Zhixuan was shocked by Choi Min-Sik's acting skills in "Seeing the Devil", he did not lose confidence because his acting skills in "The Lone Agent" were not to be outdone. If he could compete with Choi Min-Sik for the Best Actor Award, then the award would be worthy of recognition.
The phone rang again. It was Lee Shunzai. "Hello, teacher. What's the matter?" Xu Zhixuan's relationship with Lee Shunzai was like that of a father and son. Although his tone was respectful, it was more like a family conversation.
Lee Shunzai did not tell Xu Zhixuan the purpose of his call. Instead, he took the initiative to ask Xu Zhixuan, "What are you doing now?"
Xu Zhixuan replied, "I'm watching Choi Min-Sik's movie!"
"Oh? You know the list of nominees? "
Lee Shunzai was a little surprised. He knew the list of nominees because he was now the president of the Broadcasting Actors Association.
"No, I just heard some rumors. After some analysis, I think Choi Min-Sik might be the biggest competitor for the Big Bell Awards this time!" Xu Zhixuan did not hide the news he heard. After all, the authenticity of the news was not high.
Lee Shunzai nodded. If a movie award was known before it was announced, then there was no need to organize the movie awards. However, he still said with certainty, "Yes. Although I don't know where you heard this, your biggest competitor for the Big Bell Awards, Green Dragon Awards, and so on will be Choi Min-Sik. But don't worry, you won't lose to him. You must have confidence in yourself!"
"Yes, I know, teacher!"
Lee Shunzai did not hear the disappointment in Xu Zhixuan's voice. He said, "Yes, you'd better ask your company to do some PR. Although the movie awards are not as unscrupulous as before, there are still some unspoken rules. I'll send you a document later. Pass it to Yang Xianshuo and ask him to do his job well. But remember, burn it after reading it. It won't be good for you if others know about it!"
"Yes, thank you, teacher!" Xu Zhixuan knew that it was rare for Lee Shunzai to go so far for him. After all, he was using his identity to help his disciple with PR. If the news was exposed, not only would Xu Zhixuan be finished, but Lee Shunzai would also be affected. One could imagine how high Xu Zhixuan's position was in Lee Shunzai's heart.
Lee Shunzai also knew that Xu Zhixuan was very steady in his work. He said, "Well, that's it then. Come over when you're free. My wife misses you a little!" After receiving Xu Zhixuan's reply, Lee Shunzai hung up the phone.
Xu Zhixuan held the phone and began to ponder. He knew the purpose of Lee Shunzai's actions. It seemed that when he had discussed with Lee Shunzai about taking over his position as the president of the Release Society, Lee Shunzai had already begun to pave the way for Xu Zhixuan. However, Xu Zhixuan was a little worried. After all, if he failed, he still had many cards up his sleeve. On the other hand, Lee Shunzai's reputation would be tarnished. He had no choice but to be cautious.
Dialing Yang Xianshuo's number, Xu Zhixuan repeated Lee Shunzai's instructions to Yang Xianshuo. Then, he reminded him, "Faxing is too dangerous. The internet is so advanced now. Anything can happen. Why don't you go directly to my house and destroy it after reading it? This document is too fatal for me!"
"Well, okay. I'll go now!" Yang Xianshuo also knew that it was serious, so he immediately agreed.
Seeing this, Xu Zhixuan returned Lee Shunzai's call and told him that Yang Xianshuo would immediately go to his house to read the document. After reading it, he would destroy it. After all, this was related to Lee Shunzai's reputation. Moreover, it was for his own personal gain. Therefore, Xu Zhixuan had to be careful. However, this move still received Lee Shunzai's approval. As he didn't understand the internet, he didn't pay much attention to faxing. Now that he heard Xu Zhixuan's words, he felt that it wasn't a bad idea.
