Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 149 Image Route
The filming time slowly passed, and the efficiency of the crew who were working at full capacity to meet the deadline was quite high.

They are all veteran actors, and it is rare for them to fail in their performances, most of the problems are in the minor details.

Fortunately, Quan Xuanhe's growth rate is also quite fast. Although he has been called off more times than others, his growth can still be clearly seen.

This is thanks to Kwon Hyun-hyuk's natural talent, and the fact that the crew has a professor-level acting veteran like Bae Jong-ok to guide him.

Those who can perform may not necessarily teach, and it is even rarer to find someone like Pei Zongyu who can both perform and teach and has knowledge. It is impossible to invite him privately, so this is the right opportunity.

After finishing filming today's scenes, Quan Xuanhe got in the nanny car and hurried to catch up with his schedule.

Today's shoot was for the magazine promoted by LV, Esquire, one of the only two top men's magazines in Korea.

It’s my first time on the cover of a top magazine, and it feels different.

Only the covers of top magazines count towards an artist’s achievements.

More than half a year after his debut, he finally won his first title with the help of two works.

So how fast is Quan Xuanhe's progress?
Quite quickly, to be honest.

A serious artist at his level would probably only be able to shoot a cover for a second-tier magazine, not even enough to appear on the cover of most second-tier magazines.

Otherwise, guess why some people called Kwon Hyun Hyuk a resourceful guy when he just debuted and got the cover of a second-tier magazine.

Because what they are scolding is really not wrong, he is indeed a resourceful person.

None of his contemporaries, who were born after 1995, have ever appeared on the cover of a first-tier magazine, and even very few have appeared on the cover of a second-tier magazine.

No one else has been able to secure high-end luxury endorsements like him, and he was still struggling at the same time. Now, judging by popularity, the only young artists who can compete with him are Song Jiang and Cha Eun-woo.

This time the shooting was still done in an indoor studio. The reason was simple: due to the epidemic, it was impossible to go abroad or shoot blockbusters outdoors.

Some of his business was also delayed due to the epidemic.

For example, some of the products he endorses are linked to some activities he organizes, such as meet-and-greets, autograph sessions, etc., which require him to go offline to support them, that is, commercial performances.

But when the epidemic came, we were forced to cancel it. There was nothing we could do.

Quan Xuanhe naturally cannot be held responsible for such force majeure factors, and in the end the business party has to bear the responsibility.

This time, we invited Yang Zhixun, a master of Korean photography, to take part in the photo shoot.

He is a Korean photographer who excels at creating works with light. Most of his works are inseparable from the element of light.

He perfectly combines light and people to form his own unique photography style.

He is very good at using light and shadow to create atmosphere, and has a good grasp of the model's emotions. Combined with the texture of film, his works are extremely atmospheric and infectious.

There were as many as ten sets of clothes matched today, and he had to take pictures of each one.

Being a spokesperson does more than just shoot a commercial.

Fashion magazines don’t just focus on taking photos of the cover, they also have to take photos of related clothing items, which actually means they are models.

There is his photo on the left and a blah blah advertising slogan on the right.

There are too many clothes for the upper body, and it would be too tedious to describe them one by one in detail.

Anyway, the current shooting time is March, and the magazine release is the April cover.

The clothes he was given were all spring and summer styles, either the catwalk styles released during last year's fashion week or the everyday styles that will be promoted next.

When we browse or search for a celebrity online, we often see several classic photos appearing repeatedly.

Some outstanding ones are called divine photos and are widely circulated.

Most of the time, they are taken for fashion magazines, and occasionally there are some highlights of life that are taken at the right time.

Quan Xuanhe sat on a high stool. His hair had never been trimmed for the character's appearance, and it had grown to a point where it was ostentatious. He always liked to lift his bangs to reveal his forehead. As for why, it looked more energetic.

There are very few idols, let alone actors, who can pull off a forehead-exposing look. It’s not that they look ugly, but that they look handsome without the carefully styled bangs.

Not to mention some people who have always had a bowl cut and almost never show their foreheads. That must be a flaw in their face shape, as their foreheads look ugly in the light.

Name the shorty king as the ticket collector Jin, who has always been ignored. To put it politely, he is very obsessed with appearance. To put it bluntly.
But today's styling is entirely arranged by the magazine. The magazine's aesthetic is online and not too avant-garde.

So Quan Xuanhe was quite relieved. After all, it is undeniable that those who are involved in fashion do need to know more.

The high-end contracts he currently has include one for ready-to-wear and one for beauty products.

There is still a lot of space left.

For example, jewelry, watches, luggage, and further subdivided into glasses, belts, underwear, etc., no luxury brands have come knocking on our door yet.

In addition, there are endorsements for outdoor sports brands that do not violate the agreement, etc., which are currently vacant.

There are too many Korean stars, and the Korean economy cannot keep up with the development speed of the entertainment industry. Therefore, sometimes even if one's popularity has steadily increased, advertising endorsements may not come to them.

Because there are so many to choose from.

Not to mention the quality of the signed advertising endorsements, the Korean entertainment industry doesn't pay much attention to this. After all, even financial-related things like credit cards, insurance, and banks can be endorsed, so the lower limit is very low.

When Kim Soo Hyun came to China to make money, he took all kinds of random products without any quality assurance, which was simply a way to make quick money.

It is said that they made several hundred million, roughly four or five hundred million. The authenticity of this remains to be verified, but it is certain that it exceeded one hundred million.

This is just the Chinese market, and the number is even greater if overseas markets are included.

So even now, Kim Soo-hyun is still one of the most expensive stars in South Korea, both in terms of film pay and endorsements.

When it comes to the performance of Korean fan clubs, the most intuitive data is the number of advertising endorsements they have signed.

After the magazine shoot, Kwon Hyun Hyuk sat down and accepted another interview from the magazine.

"What do you think of today's shoot?"

“Since collaborating with Louis Vuitton, I have experienced the unique quality and craftsmanship of the clothing.”

First he gave me some flattery, then he asked some life-related questions.

"What does Xuanhexi do all day?"

"Eat, have dinner, meet up with friends and relatives."

Speaking of interviews, he is actually focusing on some marginal materials on the Internet.

Basically they are interviews with magazines or Reuters coverage of some offline events.

He has never participated in any serious variety show or even a radio show.

Kim Hye-yoon and Kim Ro-woon appeared on Knowing Brothers and Please Give Me a Dinner at the beginning of the year. It is natural for them to be promoted as the first and second cast members.

He was busy filming and had to handle big things like launching on Netflix all by himself. He was so busy that he simply didn't go.

Before the show started, Master Jin arranged for him to appear as an award presenter at the SBS Acting Awards to promote the show. The popular sequel already had a lot of attention and did not need too much publicity.

There were some small interviews arranged by SBS for promotion, but he never had any serious program exposure.

And there is also a very important point.

When he participated in the show Produce 101, he gave the impression of being a trainee, and he received a lot of exposure during that period.

After that, the company stopped arranging this kind of exposure for him, hoping to change his identity as soon as possible, reduce the exposure of variety shows that show his personality, let him calm down, and strengthen his image in film and television.
