Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 12 The Wind Rises
As he is about to join the crew, Quan Xuanhe sometimes has to skip classes in the acting training class.

A portion of the contract remuneration was paid first, and then the rest would be paid during and after the show ended.

The salary I received first was not much, just enough for a few episodes.

Meanwhile, MBC TV officially announced the series lineup through news media.

It was originally nothing special, just the reaction of some fans, but when Kwon Hyun Hyuk's name appeared and he played the second male lead, the news became particularly prominent.

Some media even used such titles or comments.

"Twelfth place Quan Xuanhe has surpassed expectations!"

"Kwon Hyun Hyuk is quickly taking on a new role, undeterred by his audition failure!"

"Kwon Hyun Hyuk makes his actor debut!!"

"This face has finally found its place!"

"With such a handsome face, I should act to purify my pupils and make my eyes happy in the future!"

With the end of the talent show, fans of Quan Xuan Hepburn who had nowhere to vent their emotions seemed to have quickly found a place to gather and started celebrating.

This has become increasingly prominent as the controversy surrounding talent show fraud has intensified, and has even made it onto Naver's hot list. The most popular expression in the polls of people browsing the news below was surprise, followed by happiness.

Most people don’t actually know who he is, but after seeing the news reports about him being one of the biggest victims of suspected talent show fraud, they actually formed a preliminary impression of him.

In this way, Kwon Hyun-hyuk's name officially appeared in the public eye, replacing the title of victim of talent show fraud.

Along with this is the popularity of the new drama, which unexpectedly refreshed its popularity after being linked together.

As he was at the center of the storm and the attention he received suddenly increased dramatically, Quan Xuanhe also opened his own Instagram account.

The number of followers grew rapidly, eventually stopping at around 100,000.

One hundred thousand may seem like a small amount, but it is more than enough for the current situation. After all, he still has no works and is just a particularly popular audition trainee.

This number is similar to that of some third-tier actors. For actors, the number of fans on Instagram usually represents their Korean Wave, that is, their popularity overseas.

The first post Quan Xuanhe posted on Instagram was a few landscape photos and a selfie at the end. This post immediately received tens of thousands of likes and thousands of comments. The high-quality content also led to a slight increase in the number of followers.

After all this, Quan Xuanhe went from being defeated in the talent show to re-entering the public eye as an actor.

In this place which is only one province but has a highly developed entertainment industry and a number of artists comparable to that of a large country, the competition in Korean entertainment is extremely fierce and popularity is fleeting, so every moment of popularity must be cherished.

Script reading session.

The location is a large conference room inside MBC TV station. The main creative staff and actors of the crew will participate to start rehearsals and determine the direction and tone of the series.

Quan Xuanhe came alone. There were quite a lot of people in the TV station, especially when he came to the conference room, many people were staring at him.

As the main character, Quan Xuanhe politely greeted everyone present and then found his seat and sat down.

Soon, the leading male member of the boy group SF9, Kim Ro-woon, the female lead Kim Hye-yoon and others also arrived one after another.

The producer started by briefly introducing the main people present. Especially when introducing Quan Xuanhe, he could feel that many people were looking at him.

Next is the script reading. This part is actually not too difficult. It mainly involves going through the scripts of the previous episodes and familiarizing the main creative staff with each other.

Kwon Hyun Hyuk was born in 1997 and is the youngest except for the second female lead Lee Na Eun.

The script reading will last for a whole day, with natural breaks in between.

Several main creative staff members share a waiting room, and it is easy for young people to communicate with each other and get closer, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk took the initiative to talk to the leading female character, Kim Hye-yoon.

"I think you memorized all the lines during the script reading, didn't you? It was very smooth during rehearsal."

He took the initiative to praise.

Kim Hye-yoon is only one year older than him, but she entered the industry earlier, so it’s okay for her to call him senior.

"Just call me Huiyun." For actors who will be working together for several months, it will be more convenient to film later if they get familiar with each other early.

Kim Hye-yoon is a cheerful and sunny girl, she said with a smile.

"It's not bad actually. I've played this kind of role a few times."

The two of them started chatting with each other, and the male protagonist Kim Ro-woon also joined in the conversation.

Kim Ro-woon, who came from a boy group, is also playing the leading male role in a TV series on one of the three major TV stations for the first time. Although he has had works before, he is still a newcomer.

Kim Ro-woon knew a lot about idols, which made Kwon Hyun-hyuk quite interested, so he asked casually.

"Do you know Twice?"

Jin Luyun thought about it and nodded decisively.

"We often met each other during previous activities, but why, do you want their contact information?"

"I'm a fan of both of them. I like Tzuyu the most. She's very beautiful."

Quan Xuanhe said this casually and didn't ask any further questions.

We just met and aren't familiar with each other yet, so it's a bit too hasty to rush in getting to know each other through an intermediary. It's not too late to talk about this after we get to know each other better.

"Tzuyu... there are a lot of people pursuing her."

Jin Luyun thought for a moment and said.

Quan Xuanhe nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong.

It's normal that beautiful people should be popular.

A few people continued to chat about other random things.

However, the second female lead Lee Na-eun came over and started talking to him.

"Do you want to meet them?"

“I don’t have too many ideas yet.”

Quan Xuanhe turned his head to look at her, and was a little surprised to see her proactive attitude.

It’s not that he really wants to pursue them. He has nothing now and doesn’t know them.

He just wanted to make friends and try out his sixth sense to see if he could get more inspiration.

"I used to be a trainee at JYP and knew Chaeyoung, and we're still in touch."

This actually surprised him. Looking at Lee Na-eun in front of him, he asked, "Were you a trainee at JYP?"

Lee Na Eun smiled and said, "Are you surprised?"

"I just didn't expect that so many people with nothing in common could be connected. It's a bit magical," said Quan Xuanhe.

"Like Rowun-xi, I often see him during group activities, and we were already quite familiar with each other before, so we are close friends."

Lee Na Eun explained with a smile.

Quan Xuanhe nodded in agreement.

In this case, it is normal for those couples in the entertainment industry who have nothing in common to get together.

However, Quan Xuanhe was not in a hurry. His current focus was still on his career. He could use this adjustment at the moment but it should not take up too much of his energy.

Wait until the work is performed, then develop the relationship between men and women, deeply experience what the relationship between men and women in the entertainment industry is like, and criticize it carefully.

As I said before, Quan Xuanhe entered the entertainment industry for fame and profit, and the profit naturally included...
