Love Story: Starting from Marriage

At noon.

Kwon Yool returned to the Seongbuk-dong villa.

I waved to Sanyue in the courtyard and said, "I'll take you to the park in the afternoon."

Open the door and enter the house.

The aroma of vegetables hits my face.

After changing into slippers, Quan Lu called out: "Is it Dun's ribs?"

restaurant
The ribs just arrived.

Taeyeon responded: "You are back."

Kwon Ryul walked straight to the restaurant, and Taeyeon went to the kitchen to get busy again. Didn't she study diving fish the day before yesterday? Last night she was talking about making a diving fish dish and then a Jeonju bibimbap, but today what's on the table is braised pork ribs.

Taeyeon brought out two large round bowls.

There was already rice in the round bowl. He looked at Kwon Yool who was standing at the table and said, "I thought about it and thought that braised pork ribs can be used as a main dish and as a sauce for bibimbap. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Quan Lu corrected him with a smile: "It should be said that it kills two birds with one stone."

"Is it different?"

"It's almost the same, but it's more appropriate to kill two birds with one stone."

Taeyeon muttered: "The four-character idiom is so complicated."

"Are you going to participate in any show?"

After pulling out a chair and sitting down, Taeyeon thought of something and ran to the kitchen.

"This pickled crab was delivered by my mother this morning."

Sauce crab is one of the few side dishes that Kwon Yul likes to eat. Kwon Yul doesn't really like the ones sold in restaurants outside, but it's the ones made by Taeyeon's mother that Kwon Yul finds delicious.

"Auntie, might she be too partial to me?"

Taeyeon pushed Jiang Crab in front of Quan Lu and said, "It's good that you know, I don't even get this treatment."

Quan Lu chuckled and said, "You're kidding. Whatever you want to eat, aunt and uncle will make it right away and bring it over."

Taeyeon gave Kwon Yool a piece of ribs.

With Taeyeon's expectant eyes, Kwon Ryul took a bite and nodded gently without saying anything. Taeyeon asked, "Is it salty?"

“Not salty, very delicious.”

Pointing to the stew pot containing the ribs: "I specially added spices and dried chili peppers."

Quan Lu saw it. This braised pork rib dish was accurately made according to the method of Quan Lu's hometown.

Taeyeon asked Kwon Yul to try rice soaked in soup. Kwon Yul asked Taeyeon to eat the ribs first. Soaking rice in soup was the last step. Besides, the best soup should be used to cook noodles. This is Kwon Yul’s hometown. The highest praise for the deliciousness of a dish.

Taeyeon's braised pork ribs today taste really good. It will also be delicious soaked in rice or used to cook noodles.

Taeyeon took a bite of rice and said casually: "Did your company representative ask you to say anything today?"

Kwon Yul finished chewing a piece of ribs before responding to Taeyeon: "I just talked about the Grand Bell Awards ceremony and next year's work plan."

"Next year's work plan? Will the company promote you again next year?"

Quan Lu shrugged: "Let me focus on the Chinese market next year, and I have to lead people."

"What? Huaxia Market?"

"Well, it is said that the company is going to open a branch in China, and I guess it also wants to train one or more actors in China."

"Of course, the company's actors also want to attract the attention of fans by starring in works in China. Everyone knows that the fan economy in the Chinese market is very scary."

Taeyeon quite agrees with this.

Although Girls' Generation did not debut in China, China is where Girls' Generation's albums sell best. So does Xiaoka.

Since the launch of the small card, SM’s peripheral profits have increased by at least 80% compared to before.
In this year's "I got a boy" album package, Taeyeon and Yoona's photos are the most popular in China.

Taeyeon has Kwon Yool's light, and Yoona is a real manifestation of her popularity.

Taeyeon also said that Yoona has been studying Chinese crazily recently, and she probably also hopes to have the opportunity to develop in China as an actor in the future.

See it.

So many people want to go to China to develop, so China is the largest market and the most popular place for artists.

There are also many singers or actors who are not well-known in Country H and are making preparations in this regard.

As long as there are a small number of fans in China who like and are willing to pay for you, it is an amount that cannot be underestimated.

We talked about the Grand Bell Awards Ceremony.

Taeyeon looked at Kwon Yool and said, "Did your company representative tell you any gossip?"

Kwon Ryul looked at Taeyeon: "Why do you ask that?"

Taeyeon explained: "No, if you win an award at the award ceremony, wouldn't you disclose some information in advance so that the actors can be prepared? Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the actor cannot attend the award ceremony."

Kwon Ryul relayed to Taeyeon what Bae Yongjun told him today, which was that there was a high chance of winning the award.

But Kwon Ryul himself wasn’t looking forward to it very much.

The main reason is that the competition is too strong. Huang Zhengmin's acting skills in this movie are really top-notch. In Kwon Yul's opinion, his chances of winning are the highest.

Taeyeon said: "But I heard from Yoona that you are very likely to win the Best Actor award this time, and it should be you."

"Huh? Yoona said that?"

Taeyeon nodded: "Well, she also heard a rumor from a director. It is said that S Group, one of the organizers, wants you to win the award."

Quan Lu pointed at himself: "Me? The organizer named me to win the award?"

Taeyeon didn't understand either, so she told Kwon Yool exactly what Yoona said.

This means that S Group wants to support Kwon Yool to win the award, not only to attract more attention to the award ceremony, but it seems to be related to the new digital products and chips launched by S Group next year.

Next year S Group will also focus on the Chinese market, and they need to find a suitable product spokesperson in China.

There may have been many candidates considered, but in the end, S Group felt that Kwon Yul was the most suitable spokesperson.

So let Kwon Yul win a very important Best Actor award first, push Kwon Yul's popularity and recognition to a higher level again, and then cooperate with Kwon Yul.

The fans are crazy.

The mobile phones and other digital products endorsed by Kwon Yul, even the chips, are expected to explode.

A Grand Bell Award Best Actor trophy and Kwon Yul's endorsement fees are nothing compared to S Group's estimated annual revenue in the Chinese market.

Quan Lu frowned when he heard this.

He never thought that the Big Bell Award, known as the three major award ceremonies in H country, would still have such a situation.

As an actor, Kwon Yul certainly hopes that his award is a fair result voted by the Filmmakers Association, directors, screenwriters, etc. This is the recognition of the actor.

It’s just that the capital market doesn’t think so.

Therefore, winning the Best Actor Award at this year’s Grand Bell Awards is not actually a reflection of his strength, but the result of being selected by capital?
Taeyeon felt something was strange about Quan Yul, and she didn't know what to say, so she comforted her: "Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, without the recognition of directors in the industry, the recognition of actors and the support of fans, even if you want an actor to win the best award, The male protagonist won’t be able to do it that easily.”

"I mean, if you are just an ordinary actor, even if S Group wants you to win the grand prize, it will not work. After winning the award, there will definitely be countless people who are dissatisfied, right?"

Quan Lu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I was comforted that what Taeyeon said is true. If you don’t have the level and popularity foundation to give you a big prize, you won’t be able to win it.

But it just felt awkward, as it was better not to know this gossip, which made Kwon Yul not only not looking forward to the Grand Bell Award but also a bit disappointed. (End of chapter)
