Life is Easier If You're Handsome
Chapter 195

The Grand Bell Awards, despite being a highly prestigious film festival, had always been riddled with controversy.
From proxy acceptances to selling voting rights—
Even as recently as last year, in 2016, its credibility had been hanging by a thread.
So why did Director Lee Seong-deok decide to submit his film here?
“Whether we win or not, people will be talking about it.”
That was the key. Regardless of the festival’s reputation, it would serve as promotion for the film.
Actors just needed to deliver their performances as directed.
Directors not only had to capture those performances well but also—
“They have to sell them.”
It was the director’s job to ensure the film reached the audience in the best possible light.
No matter how well-made a movie was, if it sat collecting dust in a warehouse, what was the point?
No matter how famous a restaurant was, if no one could actually eat there, it was meaningless.
“In today’s world, promotion is everything.”
Lee Seong-deok never had high hopes for the Grand Bell Awards.
What he was really aiming for were two other awards:
The Blue Dragon Film Awards in early December and the Baeksang Arts Awards in May.
Flashes continued to go off as he tried to adjust.
Glancing at Kim Donghu beside him, he felt reassured.
“It’s like having a tiger with wings at my side.”
He had no idea why that old saying popped into his head—

But it perfectly described how he felt.
"Aha! Here we have True Hero's Kim Donghu and Director Lee Seong-deok arriving!"
"Please, over here! Yes, look to the left! Now the right...! And one for the front! Thank you!"
After walking the red carpet, the next step was the photo zone,
followed by a brief statement on how they felt about being there.
Then, they’d take their assigned seats and wait.
After that, it was just a matter of sitting through the event and awaiting the results.
The only thing to be careful about—
“No yawning when receiving an award. Donghu will handle himself just fine, but I need to stay sharp!”
The cameras would occasionally zoom out for wide shots, so he had to stay on guard.
As long as he avoided that mistake, everything else would be fine.
Of course, the internet was already dissecting every moment of the broadcast.
↳ "Wait, Lee Seong-deok looks way more nervous than I expected, lmao. He gives off this artsy vibe, but he's totally on edge."
↳ "HAHAHA, he straightens his shoulders every time he looks at Kim Donghu. It's hilarious."
↳ "Why does he keep staring at Donghu like he's his high school gang leader or something?"
↳ "Fact: It's worse than that."
↳ "Fact: When True Hero and Endless Frontline were both offered to him, Kim Donghu chose Hero over everything else."
↳ "Current stats: True Hero has surpassed 16 million viewers. Estimated to hit 19 million soon."
Since the event was being streamed live, reactions were pouring in instantly.
[Wait, doesn’t the Grand Bell Festival have a ton of proxy acceptances? Is this okay?]

Isn’t True Hero basically sweeping the awards? But only Kim Donghu and Lee Seong-deok are here?
Based on its box office numbers alone, it should take everything; I bet there’ll be tons of proxy acceptances.↳ Han Taegun just arrived.
↳ His expression looks way too serious—he’s definitely preparing to roast someone.
↳ The Grand Bell is no match for the Blue Dragon these days.
↳ Judging by the atmosphere, it feels like Lee Seong-deok was the one who wanted to attend.
↳ He’s definitely making a statement by showing up during all this controversy.
↳ The confidence of a rookie director and a rookie actor, lol.
↳ Rookie director? (Mise-en-scène 4-time winner, debut commercial film at 16 million viewers) Rookie actor? (^That absurdly long title^)
[After tonight, Kim Donghu’s "Absurdly Long Title" Will Need an Update]
Oh god...!!!
