Chapter 285 The Busiest Person at the Awards Ceremony

Kang Do Hwan was still a little surprised when he heard Gong Yoo's question.

How did people know that he was going to make a movie?
"Yes, Gong Liu, how did you know?"

Gong Liu smiled cheerfully. He did not hide anything and said frankly:
"Hahaha, many people in the industry are paying attention to Director Luo Hongzhen's movements."

“Ah…I see.”

Kang Do-hwan did receive an invitation from director Na Hong-jin some time ago to become the lead actor in his next movie.

The script is very well written and is adapted from the novel "Those Who Are Not Protected" by Japanese writer Nanari Nakayama.

The original Miyagi Prefecture stage was changed to Daegu City, and the story content was changed quite a lot.

But the main story is about people who need subsistence allowances but fail to get them.

Kang Do-hwan was chosen by director Na Hong-jin partly because the director recognized his acting skills.

Another part is that his popularity can indeed have a certain impact on the box office.

Gong Yoo looked at Do Hwan who stood up straight and said jokingly with a smile:
"When you finish filming Director Luo's work, you might even become the best actor."

"Brother Gong Liu, if you say that, I will make fun of your nomination for Best Actor."

Gong Liu laughed out loud twice, patted Cho Hwan's shoulder vigorously, and said cheerfully:

"You finally seem to be more lively now. Do you want to have dinner with me some time?"

"It's better to do it today than today. Today? I was just thinking about dinner in the car."

"You kid, everyone else is nervous about whether they can win the award, but you are quite relaxed?"

Jiang Zhaohuan smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He was quite confident about the work he starred in.

And what is yours is definitely yours and it can’t run away, so there is no need to worry.

"Gong Yoo, you don't look nervous at all."

"Ah Xi, how long have I been in the industry? How can you compare with me?"

The two smiled at each other, and after seeing the rest of the actors entering the stage one after another, they simply activated their social phobia mode.

If you chat enthusiastically, there is a high chance that someone will strike up a conversation with you.

Neither of them is good at dealing with strangers, so they might as well pretend to be cool.

From the TV department's new acting award to the TV film department's script award.

It is very tiring to sit in a seat for more than twenty minutes.

Moreover, award ceremonies for actors are quite different from those for idols. Such occasions are more formal, so it is impossible to make many movements and expressions.

Kang Do Hwan regretted sitting next to Gong Yoo very much, which resulted in an extremely high probability that the two of them would be caught on camera by the director.

He felt that his face, which was maintaining a fake smile, was starting to become stiff.

"Now, please welcome the presenters of the Newcomer Acting Award in the Film Department - Park Jung-min and Park So-dam. Thank you for your hard work!"

Hearing the familiar name, Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Today, Sudan Nuna was very happy. When she smiled, she looked almost the same as Kim Go Eun Nuna.

When Gong Yoo heard the name of the award, he leaned close to Do Hwan's ear and whispered:

"You were nominated for this award, right?"

"Inside."

"How sure are you?"

"Nine points?"

Gong Yoo couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, he is really confident.

However, there is indeed a cost for confidence. Do Hwan's performance in "Train to Busan" is remarkable, and his popularity has soared after the film was broadcast.

Park Jung-min, who was on the stage, held the envelope containing the list of winners and said seriously:

"Can I open it now? To be honest, when I was backstage, I was eager to see what was inside."

Although his face showed no expression, his words were quite interesting. The contrasting effect also made some actors in the audience laugh.

Kang Do-hwan looked straight ahead calmly. Among the actors nominated together with him, his biggest competitor was probably Ryu Jun-yeol.

If I remember correctly, this acquaintance's goal is the same as mine, which is Chungmuro.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment. His acting skills were indeed good, but if he had to say what was the most special feature of Chungmuro, it would probably be his appearance.

Hiss, I don’t know why, but when I saw this guy’s face, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"This friend must be very busy today. The Best New Actor Award in the Film Category - Kang Do Hwan from Train to Busan! Congratulations!"

Oh, it’s me.

Kang Do-hwan, who was still wondering if the award was his, smiled when he heard his own name.

He calmly buttoned up his single-breasted suit, shook hands with Gong Yoo who was smiling like an old father, and then walked towards the stage with his long legs.

Park So-dam's smile widened when she heard Do-hwan's name.

There is no better news than hearing a friend win an award.

Moreover, when the two were working together on "Death Is Coming", Do Hwan also took good care of her. He NGed the scene where she was choked many times, and even when her neck turned red, he chose to take care of her feelings.

"Congratulations."

When Kang Do-hwan received the trophy, he nodded to Park So-dam after hearing her blessing.

He walked to the back of the microphone, but found that it was a little low.

With no other choice, he leaned down, looked at the people in the audience, and said calmly:
"Last year I won the TV Drama Newcomer Award here, and I didn't expect to win the Film Newcomer Award this year. I think these two awards are also a recognition of my acting career, and I am very grateful."

The thank you speeches that followed were simply for the crew and staff.

He didn't say much, and left some words for the next possible award.

Jiang Chaohuan bowed deeply and walked off the stage, returned to his seat and unbuttoned his suit.

He has always been very good at suit etiquette.

Gong Liu glanced at the bouquet and trophy in his hands, then stepped forward and whispered:

"Zhaohuan, will you directly win three awards this time?"

Kang Do-hwan was nominated for two awards this time just for "Train to Busan". In addition, he was also successfully nominated for the Best Actor Award and Best Popular Actor Award for "Dying to Die".

He definitely can't compete with Gong Yoo for the Best Actor award; for him to be nominated at his age is enough to brag about it on posters.

As for the Best Popular Actor Award, there is still a chance of winning it.

"I don't know, if I win three awards, will you treat me to a meal?"

"Hahaha, of course. How about a Slow Life group dinner?"

"Okay, she happens to have no schedule recently, so she's basically in the dormitory..."

At this point, Jiang Zhaohuan realized that he had let something slip.

He secretly observed Gong Yoo's expression out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, this guy had a gossipy look on his face, and he definitely heard something wrong.

It’s not like Gong Yoo has never been in love before. Just as he was about to speak, congratulations came from the stage.

It turns out that Kim Seolhyun also won the Best New Actress Award in the Film Department for her role in "Train to Busan".

When the two noticed the camera scanning over them, they immediately smiled and applauded, as if nothing had happened just now.

After Kim Seolhyun finished her acceptance speech, Gong Yoo whispered gossiping:

"Brother will give you a chance, don't waste it~ Let's make an appointment later."

"……Inside."

　The update will be late tomorrow, before 22:.
