Chapter 814 Me?
"..."

His sight moved to Jung Eun-ji who was walking next to him. Ji Jingyuan looked up and down at his friend whom he almost didn't recognize...

The Busan girl is pretending to be a lady again today. The ends of her long dark hair are highlighted with brown. She is wearing a white long skirt that covers her entire body. Her hips and waist seem to have been deliberately tightened to highlight her lines.

What is even more speechless is that her long skirt is a low-cut style. At this moment, she is trying her best to show off a cleavage that she has worked so hard to put together. I don’t know how many layers of padding are underneath. Although she is wearing a coat on the outside to slightly cover her neck, it is still very clear.

It seemed as if he heard the moaning sound of the soft cushion under the skirt being lifted up with all her might, and Chi Jingyuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

As expected, as female idols grow older and more mature, they become more open-minded.

"Aren't you in the comeback period? Why are you so bored every day reading this rubbish news?"

"It's so popular on the Internet, who doesn't know about it?" As if sensing the deep meaning in Chi Jingyuan's eyes, Zheng Enji glanced at him unkindly: "What's going on?"

"Well...it was when I went on stage..." After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan did not hide it and summarized it out.

There were so many witnesses backstage at the time, and such things are not easy to keep secret in the circle. Even if he didn't say it, Jung Eun-ji would be able to find out by herself in a few days... But what she heard should be the embellished version after it was spread a few times.

"Of course you can, you are a hero saving a beautiful girl!" After hearing the truth, Jung Eun-ji's eyes changed, and she looked up and down at Chi Jingyuan in surprise, as if she knew him again: "If I am the girl, she will definitely fall in love with you... Is there any follow-up progress?"

"No, it's not that easy... and I'm not single now."

"Don't disbelieve me, the plot of a hero saving a beautiful girl is a little cliché, but it has lasted for so long because it is the most lethal to girls. Tsk tsk... It's too coincidental, if I didn't know your character, I would think you arranged this."

"Do I need to use such means to interact with others?"

"That's true..." Jung Eun-ji looked at him with admiration and nodded, seeming to agree with his heroic act of saving the damsel in distress, and then asked casually, "Can you win the prize today?"

"That's tough..." Chi Jingyuan was unsure about this, but he was also quite carefree: "But if I have it, I'm naturally happy. If I don't have it, it doesn't matter."

The two of them didn't talk much after a brief chat. At this time, many artists had come to the hotel venue used for rest, and many of them were familiar faces. It was an excellent opportunity to connect with each other and reminisce about the past. Jung Eun-ji also had many friends to say hello to, and the same was true for Ji Kyung-won.

Just as Chi Jingyuan separated from Zheng Enji, he saw Park Baoying waving at him and smiling, "Jingyuanxi~"

"Senior~" Chi Jingyuan smiled immediately upon seeing this and walked over while greeting him.

He has always felt that Park Bo-young is very distinctive among the young actresses on Peninsula today. Her baby face is quite to his liking and pleasing to the eye. He has met her many times before at activities and award ceremonies and exchanged contact information.

...It's a pity that he is a little older and shorter.

Today's TVN 10th anniversary event was indeed grand. Basically, all the leading actors or creators of TVN's successful TV dramas in recent years were invited, such as the leading actors of "Oh, My Ghost" where Park Bo Young was.

After chatting and laughing with the sister for a few words, Chi Jingyuan stood up again. With a casual glance, he could see many familiar faces.

Cha Seung-won and Nam Joo-hyuk from "Three Meals a Day", several MCs from "Comedy League", and a large group of people from the three series of "Reply" 97, 94, and 88.
"Three-Colored Tower" "Oh Hae-young Again"...

Oh, and Ahn Jae-hyun from "New Journey to the West"... Chi Jingyuan bumped into him before he even took two steps.
This guy became quite famous this year thanks to "New Journey to the West", but when he was at the rising stage of his career, his relationship with Gu Hye Sun, his co-star in the romance drama "Blood", was revealed last year. What was even more unexpected was that the two actually got married in May this year!
Ahn Jae Hyun was born in 87. He has developed well as a model, actor and variety show MC. He was able to get married so early...

If you look at it this way, I think I love it very much...

After saying a few simple words, Chi Jingyuan walked towards the crews of "Reply 1997" and "Misaeng" one after another.

After he debuted as an actor, except for "The Heirs" which was a drama on SBS, all other dramas he has starred in were TVN dramas. And today, many actors and creators of these dramas happened to be here. Seeing so many familiar faces he had worked with before, the memories of the past came to his mind, making Chi Jingyuan feel happy and nostalgic.
For example, Shin Won-ho, the director of "Reply 1997", the PD who personally selected him to be the male lead in his first drama really helped him a lot at the time. To some extent, he was one of the guides on his acting path. The addition of Ji Kyung-won also added a lot of color to "1997", and made the "Reply" series, where success or failure is the key, a good start. The director and the actor can be said to have achieved each other.

At this time, Shen Yuanhao was very happy when he saw Chi Jingyuan. He patted his shoulder and boasted with a smile.

Several main actors of "Reply 1997" were there, including Jung Eun-ji, Lee Si-eon, Lee Ho-won, and Shin So-ok. Unfortunately, Ji Kyung-won looked around but didn't see Eun Ji-won. He remembered that this guy had the job of being an award presenter in the evening.

Not only has this guy been able to do what he loves from his youth to middle age, but he was also able to return as an original idol sixteen years after his debut... Even Chi Jingyuan envied his free and easy attitude.

As for "Misaeng", except for a few main actors, everyone else is here, including Tae In-ho, Nam Seok-ho, and Kim Dae-myung from sales team 3.

The heroine Jiang Su-ra was not present today. It seemed that she would not come today. Ji Jingyuan didn’t have much contact with this girl, and I don’t know how she is doing... Maybe she is busy dating the handsome guy Hyun Bin.

It was indeed exciting to meet so many acquaintances, and Chi Jingyuan himself had a good relationship with people. Moreover, he was probably the best developed among all the people he was working with at that time, so he naturally felt the enthusiasm of others and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

After a lively chat about the past, Zhao Zhenxiong and Li Xingmin came together in suits. Both of them are of high seniority and popularity, and have extensive connections. They were welcomed by many friends as soon as they entered the door.

Compared to the reserved Jo Jin-woong, Lee Sung-min is more lively. When he was filming "Misaeng", he often took Chi Jingyuan to drink. After greeting the people around him, he approached and found Chi Jingyuan, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Oh my god, Jingyuan came so early~"

"You've matured a bit, and look more handsome than before." Li Xingmin patted Chi Jingyuan enthusiastically and couldn't help sighing. It was obvious that he had a good impression of this junior with whom he had a very pleasant cooperation at that time. Zhao Zhenxiong next to him also laughed and nodded at Chi Jingyuan.

Cho Jin-woong and Lee Sung-min have a very close relationship. The two are currently working together on the comedy film "The Sheriff". They have been filming in Busan recently and they came here together overnight last night.

As a junior, Chi Jingyuan was not afraid of the stage. He smiled familiarly and said, "How can I be as handsome as you? The middle-aged uncle type is popular in the Peninsula recently. I am a bit out of date now."

"Hahaha..." Li Xingmin laughed, then took Chi Jingyuan's hand and said, "We haven't gathered for a long time. It's just right that you are all here. Don't leave after the evening. Let's have a drink together."

Of course Chi Jingyuan would not refuse such an invitation and nodded with a smile.

Twenty minutes later, Kim Hye-soo, another leading actor of "Signal" and also a heavyweight actor today, also arrived at the scene. The first second he saw this senior, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

Although the coat covered her shoulders, the slim-fitting golden-orange dress was extremely generous, and the soft flesh on her chest was almost overflowing, showing off her amazing cleavage.

He couldn't help but glance at Zheng Endi who was not far away, and his gaze was self-evident... look at her.

What impressed Chi Jingyuan even more was that after this sister came in, when she saw her boyfriend Liu Haizhen, a well-known ugly man with whom she had been dating for several years and just broke up in April this year, she greeted him very naturally and gave him a gentle hug. The generous expression and free and easy behavior when facing her ex were so generous that even Chi Jingyuan asked himself if he could do it.

As expected of a senior, he still has a lot to learn...

…………

The red carpet event was held as scheduled at 6 pm, and various film, television and variety show celebrities set off from the hotel in luxury cars prepared by the organizers.

This kind of grand evening party is rare even in the Peninsula. Today, quite a lot of audiences came to the scene, and many of them were Aili who came specifically to see Chi Jingyuan. With the professional atmosphere group and fans' support, the whole red carpet session was extremely lively.

“This is… ahhh ‘Oh Hae Young Again’!!”

“Ahh~ Grandpas Over Flowers!!”

"Ahhh, 1988!! Go Hwan, Deok Sun!!"

I have to say that TVN has been very fruitful in recent years. Although there are many guests, all of them are well-known, whether they are from TV dramas or variety shows. They can be recognized instantly as soon as they get off the car. All kinds of cheers and screams are heard, making the guests walking the red carpet instantly feel the enthusiasm of the fans and feel very proud.

Although he is the male lead of three dramas, Ji Kyung-won still walked the red carpet with the "Signal" crew under the arrangement of the organizer. "Signal" is TVN's recent hit drama, and the starring lineup of Jo Jin-woong, Kim Hye-soo and Ji Kyung-won was arranged to be the last to appear.

"The next one to appear is... Oh my god, it's 'Signal'! They have traveled through time and appeared in front of us again!"

"Ahh, Jingyuan Oppa!!"

“Yuan!!”

When Chi Jingyuan stepped out of the nanny car and just showed his face, before he turned around, deafening screams rose up all around him, directly covering the voices of the two red carpet hosts on the speakers.

With his idol fan base, Ji Kyung-won's cheers are always the loudest in such occasions, but Cho Jin-woong and Kim Hye-soo are also very popular.

The aura of the trio of "Signal" seems to be higher than the previous groups. Zhao Zhenxiong is tall in a pure black suit, with a calm and smiling face.

Chi Jingyuan was wearing a suit tailored specifically for him by GUCCI. There were faint silver lines on the dark suit and the signature embroidered logo on the chest. It had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was a perfect fit. Compared with Zhao Zhenxiong's pure black, he looked more lively, especially with a youthful vibe that was extremely dazzling.

In order to have more aura when walking on the red carpet, Kim Hye-soo wore a pair of high heels that were probably about 15 or 16 centimeters high. She was less than 1.7 meters tall and she looked almost the same height as Ji Jingyuan... Unfortunately, it was very inconvenient to walk in such high shoes and tight clothes, and she needed Ji Jingyuan to hold her hand the whole time in order to walk normally.

She was trembling all the way here, regardless of her figure and breasts... Chi Jingyuan was worried that this girl would suddenly fall on him.

You know, he was powerless to do anything about it, because his right arm was injured yesterday. He was already trying very hard to hold her hand at this moment. If he really fell, he would not be able to use any strength at all...

Fortunately, they were safe all the way from the red carpet to the indoor venue, and they didn't calm down until they were seated.

The stage design for today's award ceremony was very interesting. A space was reserved in the center of the main stage, and many audiences were arranged to stand directly in the middle of the stage very close to the actors. Two rows of round tables were set up in a semicircle around the main stage, and each TV series and variety show crew sat at one table.

The crew of "Signal" was sitting at the table in the middle of the first row. Ji Jingyuan sat down next to Kim Hye-soo. Coincidentally, the crew of "Misaeng" was on their left, and the director of both dramas was Kim Won-sik. As a result, this guy took a look and probably because he was afraid of being overshadowed, he directly abandoned Ji Jingyuan and the others and sat at the table of "Misaeng".

The actors at the same table started chatting in low voices, and the VJ next to them also arrived with a camera. After waiting for about ten minutes, the party officially began.

"Wow, COME ON!"

"Hello everyone! Aniha Saiyo~"

With a burst of enthusiastic shouts, tonight's host strode onto the stage.

The MCs for tonight's party are Kang Ho-dong and Shin Dong-yeop. As soon as they came on stage, they immediately excited the audience... This hosting lineup is really strong, which is something you never see under normal circumstances.

After just watching for a while, as Kang Ho-dong and Shin Dong-yeop made jokes and said a lot of opening words, Ji Kyung-won felt that these two MCs who hold a very important position in the variety show industry did not match well.

Kang Ho-dong is the type who is noisy and shouts all the time to create atmosphere, while Shin Dong-yeop's style mainly relies on humorous language and various borderline and rude jokes.

These two people have completely different styles and can't work together at all.

But since they are not the protagonists today, it doesn’t matter.

"The 10th anniversary awards ceremony made in tvN's men's TV drama department has announced the nominees..."

After several awards were announced, it was finally Chi Jingyuan's first shortlisted award. Under the guidance of the award presenters Lee Seo-jin and Cha Seung-won, the big screen at the back began to play a VCR:

"Ryu Jun-yeol from Reply 1988."

"Park Bo Gum from Reply 1988."

"Ji Jingyuan from Reply 1997."

"Ji Jingyuan from "Misaeng"."

"Jung Woo from Reply 1994."

As the VCR of TV drama clips played, several candidates gradually emerged. The Reply series dominated the screen, and the interesting scene of Chi Jingyuan's name and face appearing twice in a row immediately made the venue lively. This kind of scene is still rare.

"The winner is...Cho Kamida, Ji Kyung-won from 'Reply 1997' xi~" Cha Seung-won did not delay and announced the winner directly. The screams of fans in the back instantly rose, and accompanied by the strong rhythm of the BGM, Ji Kyung-won stood up from his seat shyly.

In fact, he was a little embarrassed. He won this award for "Reply 1997", but now he is sitting on the side of "Signal"...

After turning around and paying several respects to "97", Chi Jingyuan strode onto the stage, bowed to the two senior award presenters, and took the trophy from Li Ruizhen...

It's just a plastic trophy in the shape of the three letters TVN. The workmanship is average, not as good as MAMA
"Ne, Aniha Saiyo, Chi Jingyuan Yimi Da~"

"Well...I am really grateful for giving me this award..."

It was not difficult for Chi Jingyuan to give an acceptance speech, but this time it was more than four years since he won the award as the lead actor in his first drama "Reply 1997". Thinking back to the time, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional and said a few more words:

"…Now that I think about it, it’s been several years. Reply was my first time to participate in a TV drama, and it means a lot to me. I’m really grateful to the producer and PD at the time for giving me this opportunity. I’m also very grateful to Director Shin Won-ho for all the help he gave me at the time. He was my guide on the road to acting…"

"I will continue to work hard and meet you all in a better state. Thank you."

Amidst the applause and cheers, Chi Jingyuan strode off the stage, sat back in his seat, playing with the trophy in his hand, and calming the excitement that had just surged in his heart.

This award has a long name, but it is actually just a consolation prize and its value is average.

In other words, the value of all the awards tonight is not that high. This 10th anniversary awards ceremony is just for TVN to show off its outstanding works in the past ten years, and it is more entertaining in nature than valuable.

But it is not true to say that all the awards are meaningless. At least the last few major awards, Best Actor, Best Actor, Best TV Series and the 10th Anniversary Acting Awards are still very meaningful. Although their value is definitely not as high as that of regular film and television award ceremonies such as the Baeksang Best Actor Award, it is also a very good recognition in terms of personal honor.

However, Ji Jingyuan has little confidence in these heavyweight awards. Although the three dramas he starred in have left a strong mark in the development history of TVN, excluding the youth drama "1997", he starred in "Misaeng" and "Signal", which have the greatest chance of winning awards, and performed very well, but he was not the most eye-catching one, or not the only eye-catching one.

"Misaeng" has Lee Sung Min and "Signal" has Cho Jin Woong. Both of them performed very well in the dramas and have rich experience. Lee Sung Min also won the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Actor, beating Ji Kyung Won with this drama. His chances of winning the award today are estimated to be much higher than Ji Kyung Won.

So his original purpose today was to join in the fun and meet old friends and seniors...

Just as he expected, the previous awards today were basically all consolation prizes. As long as everyone present had the opportunity to show their face, the atmosphere on the scene seemed very harmonious and relaxed, and no one cared much about winning or not.

What surprised Ji Jingyuan was that he also saw his senior Song Yoon-ah, who came specially to serve as the award presenter after finishing filming "The K2" today.

After observing him closely from the audience, Chi Jingyuan found that although this senior was not young, he was really very elegant and made people feel good about him.

It’s just a pity that Yoona didn’t come today... But in comparison, the other Yoona seems a little more charming.

By the end of the second half, after all the fun and noise, the most important awards of the day began to be presented, and the actors also became a little more serious.

As expected, TVN's Best Actress award was given to Kim Hye-soo. Although her performance in "Signal" was criticized, some impulsive viewers even rated her as "holding back the other two leading actors."

But the drama became a hit, and Kim Hye-soo’s status was high enough, so after looking around, she seemed to be the most suitable role.

After the Best Actress award, it was the turn of the heavyweight award of Best Actor. Chi Jingyuan clearly felt that the actors at the two tables next to him all sat up straight.

At this time, the big screen also played the candidate's VCR
"Misaeng, Lee Sung-min."

"Misaeng, Chi Jingyuan"

"'Oh Hae-young Again', Moon Jung-hyuk."

"Signal, Cho Jin-woong."

"Reply Series, Sung Dong-il."

All of them are hit dramas produced by TVN in the past two years, and all of them feature characters and actors whose acting skills are widely recognized and praised...including Ji Jingyuan himself.

However, when Chi Jingyuan saw the list of candidates, he already had an idea in his mind:
It's either Zhao Zhenxiong or Li Xingmin, there shouldn't be anyone else. In terms of performance, these two are obviously better than others... But if we ignore seniority and qualifications, Chi Jingyuan can also be ranked in their group.

Sung Dong-il is good, but he's not the lead actor.

"tvN 10th Anniversary Awards, the Best Actor is..."

Just when Chi Jingyuan was thinking about which familiar guy would win the award and whether he should high-five or shake hands as a means of congratulation, he suddenly heard an unexpected name:
"Chi Jingyuan~"
