"Brother Chenchen, Shirley asked you to go to the awards ceremony!"

When Chen Chen was in the practice room as usual, Shen Xiaoting called him and he knew it was almost time to set off.

The Baeksang Arts Awards is on June 5th this year, so Xiaoting has been here for half a month.

Due to being unfamiliar with the place and not being able to speak the language, Chen Chen could only place her in headquarters C to receive the most basic education, and then send her to the starship once her foundation was laid.

At the very least, give people the ability to find their way back to C headquarters if they get lost in Seoul. Otherwise, if they really get lost, Chen Chen would be quite irresponsible.

"I'm ready to go now."

When Chen Chen heard the sound, he immediately stopped what he was doing, turned off the music, and picked up the clothes he had thrown on the ground and finished cleaning up.

"How about you?" Chen Chen walked up to Shen Xiaoting, "How do you feel? Is there anything you are not used to?"

"It's not that I'm not used to it. Yiren has helped me a lot." Shen Xiaoting blinked in confusion, "And the seniors at Integrate seem to be very free and are happy to help me solve various problems."

"Well, they are indeed very idle recently." Chen Chen touched his nose and changed the subject. "But as long as you don't encounter any trouble, it's okay. If you have nothing to do, you can watch more TV or something. While learning the language, you must also understand how the entertainment industry here works."

"In this way, if you can debut in the future, then you can be considered prepared." Chen Chen didn't want to make it too obvious that she could debut, so he was a little long-winded. "Of course, if you can really debut, there will be some things that you will be trained on separately, and you don't have to make it clear at this time."

"..."

Shen Xiaoting couldn't help but frown and felt a little dizzy.

You say you need to study but you also say you don’t need to understand it too clearly. So what should I do? Is there anything you don’t need to understand too clearly when studying?
"That's it." Chen Chen patted her shoulder, "I'm going to go to work, you continue to do what you have to do."

He was normal when talking, but staggered when he went out. Chen Chen forgot that he had not completed the contact yet.

Xiaoting was tall and mature, so she was not suitable for Chen Chen's usual head-patting trick, so it was a little late.

It’s not that Chen Chen’s vigilance has been worn away by time, but that he feels that there is no need to be extra vigilant.

The timeline is getting closer and closer to the point where Chen Chen came from. The things that should appear in his memory are actually happening one by one instead of needing to be recalled in his memory. Therefore, the impact of various people and things on Chen Chen is decreasing.

If he really reached the starting point, Chen Chen would no longer have to be on guard against anything.

……

Gyeonggi Province is only 40 kilometers away from Seoul, so it doesn’t take too long to drive there.

"Hey~ Oppa, long time no see."

As soon as I arrived backstage, Suzy came up to me with a smile and greeted me. She had arrived earlier.

"It's been a long time since we last met." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and went over to say hello. "Is the filming going smoothly? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"To be honest, there are quite a lot of difficulties." Suzy replied: "The protagonist has to do too much. Although it is a group portrait movie, if more than 100 minutes are centered around three people, it is actually very hard for each person."

"After all, it wasn't just 30 or 40 minutes per person, but three of us got together for over a hundred minutes." Chen Chen smiled at her, "But I see you seem to be enjoying it. You're excited just talking about it."

"The heroine of a movie, who wouldn't be excited?" Suzy blushed and covered her chest, "This is my first official movie heroine, the first lead!"

"That's true." Chen Chen joked, "Think about it, I haven't been the leading actor in a movie yet, so my career as an artist is a bit regretful." "If the president wants to be the leading actor in a movie, it's just a matter of saying a word, and naturally a good director will come to us with a good script!" Suzy flattered him and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, I don't have the time or the energy to do that anymore." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, "Just take good pictures."

"Seriously," Suzy found a very different angle, "If the Blue House shoots a documentary about the fight against the epidemic, Oppa will definitely be the protagonist."

"Haha, this is really good!" Chen Chen was amused, "And I feel that the Blue House will definitely film this thing!"

"Then Oppa, just wait." Suzy continued with Chen Chen's words, "Everyone will definitely be grateful for everything Oppa has done during the epidemic."

"Never mind that, we'll talk about it later. Let me take a look at the script first." Chen Chen did not continue to speak but suddenly stretched out his hand, "I decided to attend the award ceremony at the last minute, so I don't know what the situation is now."

"Oh well."

Suzy was stunned for a moment, then took out the script from the waiting room and handed it to Chen Chen.

"Hmm." After just one glance, Chen Chen found something very inappropriate. "The Best Director Award at this year's Baeksang Arts Awards was not given to Bong Joon-ho? He is the Best Director at the Golden Globe Awards!"

"I wouldn't know if Oppa asked me about this kind of thing," Suzy pouted her lips to express her helplessness, "I'm just a host, that's all."

"Who knows, next year I might be the one to receive the award in the film category."

Chen Chen said perfunctorily, frowning as he continued to read the list.

Another abnormal thing is that the Best Screenplay award was not given to "Parasite" but to "Exit".

It's outrageous, so outrageous that one can tell at a glance that this is the award distribution requested by CJ, and they just have to find an award to give to "Extreme Escape Plan".

The script of "Exit Point" can at best be considered average and excellent. Winning the Best Screenplay award is somewhat insulting to other people's IQ. All we can say is that CJ is very well-informed and thick-skinned.

The other awards were all normal, with nothing messy. Chen Chen was satisfied to see that "When the Camellia Blooms" was winning the TV drama category.

I even saw that Lee Ji-eun was nominated for Best Actress for "Hotel Del Luna".

It’s definitely impossible to get it, but at least it means that she will be there today and I can go and play with her later.

"Hey, Chen Chen, why are you here?"

There was no need to wait any longer, as Lee Ji-eun appeared backstage at this time.

"Come and be the award presenter." Chen Chen turned his head. "It's already very uncomfortable without a live audience this year. If no one watches the live broadcast on TV, the organizers will be crazy and can't accept it!"

"With so many artists there, there's no way no one would watch it. Are you trying to flatter yourself?" Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes. "I think you just want to see C's work win an award with your own eyes!"

"That's not the case. I was just invited by Baeksang Arts Center as the most promising rising star in the film and television industry. I don't know anything more." Chen Chen glanced at the end of the list and suddenly laughed. "Let's not talk about that. Help me recognize two people later. There will be fun things to come."

"This year's Best New Actor in a TV Series category is quite interesting."
