Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 220 Ready to go
After all matters were settled, time passed slowly and it was finally time for the movie Innocence to be released.

The day before the release, the film company will hold a press conference and a preview immediately after the press conference.

Lotte Cinema, Lotte World Tower store.

Before the press conference, the main creators arrived one after another, and Kwon Hyun Hyuk was naturally not absent. The previous publicity, variety show appearances, and the illegitimate incidents were all for this movie.

He intends to rely on this movie to win awards and build reputation. After all, the role he plays and his character are unconventional, and the level of his performance is also different from before.

Although winning awards doesn't really depend on box office performance, it certainly won't work if there's no box office at all.

Entrance to the press conference.

First, they had to enter the venue and take photos. Quan Xuanhe was naturally in high spirits, and his appearance was a blockbuster.

He likes to lift his hair up for styling, not only because he likes it, but also because he doesn't want to have thick bangs or a middle part that would be considered a typical melo actor's look, and wants to look a little different.

It is enough to keep the styling in the drama, and show differences at other times.

Many media outlets were invited to the press conference. As the first wave of movies released after the epidemic, it naturally attracted much attention. Various media outlets came in droves, and the flash cameras were constantly shooting when they appeared on stage.

Seating is also based on ranking. In Korea, the C position is not always the most important. People are also arranged in order from the left or right.

The director sat first on the far left, Shin Hye-sun second, Bae Jong-ok third, and he fourth.

The film launch began and the media in the audience began to ask questions one after another.

[What was the opportunity that led Shin Hye-sun to star in this movie? ]

What did you gain from directing this film?

[How did you feel when you co-starred with Shin Hye-sun? What were your expectations for this? ]

The previous questions were asked in turn, and when it was Quan Xuanhe's turn, the media at the scene became much more enthusiastic.

In terms of fame in a broad sense, Quan Xuanhe is naturally not as popular as the former, but now we are talking about popularity. He is very popular now, and neither of the two leading actors can compare to him. It just so happens that after the arrangement, he sits in the center seat.

[May I ask why Xuanhexi chose to play such a role with intellectual disabilities? ]

This question hits the nail on the head. Not only the media are curious, but even his fans are curious.

Why would he play a fool with such a handsome face? Can't he just stay in melo dramas? Can't he learn the growth path of his seniors like Lee Min Ho? Why does he have to play a fool that damages his image?

Hearing this, Quan Xuanhe nodded, raised the microphone and spoke fluently.

"First of all, it's because I want to act. Although I've only been in the industry for a short time, I want to seek more breakthroughs."

This sentence sets the tone first and is said directly, unlike others who talk a lot and say clichés but never get to the point, leaving people confused. In the end, all they know is that you said something but it's as if you didn't say anything.

What you say should be meaningful.

"I can't just play handsome and pretty roles, I also need to make significant progress in my acting skills. Otherwise, even if I'm popular, I'll just stay where I am."

Although this may sound innocuous, how many people in the entertainment industry dare to speak these words openly? This is even more so in the conservative Korean entertainment industry, where everyone talks about old stuff and it goes in one ear and out the other.

If he maintains his frank and sincere style of speaking, it will naturally benefit his public image. His fan circle will naturally follow him blindly, but injustice is in the hearts of the people, and public opinion is just as important to his future development as his fan circle. Of course, this also has risks. If you speak so frankly, won't others look stingy? So, you're the only one who can speak well?
It is inevitable that some people will not like it.

Furthermore, even if you speak frankly, some media may misinterpret your meaning and nitpick your words.

But there is no reason to avoid showing off one's talents or to give up on something because of fear of choking. Quan Xuanhe dares to do it and takes responsibility for it.

"Playing a role like a fool is definitely a way to train myself, and I also hope that my fans and the public will have some expectations for my acting skills."

Quan Xuanhe's words were quite frank and enough for the media to report back to. It was a very good answer.

"Also, how did you feel about the previous illegitimate incident?"

This question was asked closely following the previous hot topic, and Quan Xuanhe was not surprised and answered.

"If she comes to me openly, such as when she attends an event, I welcome her and there is no problem at all."

"But privacy is something that cannot be violated, and I hope that all fans can fully respect the privacy of artists."

Quan Xuanhe expressed his attitude simply and clearly.

"I recently heard that Xuanhexi is involved in a big production for Netflix, working with directors like Lee Jung-jae and Hwang Dong-hyuk. Could you tell me more about it?"

A media outlet asked this question.

This news has been circulating in the industry and has also been leaked from the outside world. It is quite noteworthy that Quan Xuanhe was able to get involved in such a big project. It is not just him himself, but this project is worthy of attention.

Think about it, Netflix invested tens of millions of dollars in this big production, and the production cost of each episode is enough to break the record of Korean dramas. How could this unprecedented international big production not attract people's attention? It can even be said that it is the focus of everyone in the industry and is eagerly awaited.

"This news is true, but please focus on our upcoming movie Innocence. Thank you."

Quan Xuanhe clasped his hands together and waved to the audience. He naturally couldn't say more without instructions from Netflix. Besides, it was still in the production stage and the release would be in the second half of next year. It was too early to tell the outside world.

He simply confirmed the message and then gave more answers.

The hectic movie launch conference has come to an end. There will also be a preview in the afternoon, so the whole day is fully scheduled.

We had a simple lunch at noon and then left. At the preview in the afternoon, several people had to come out and talk to us for a few minutes after the movie ended.

This format is actually similar to what we often see on Tik Tok, where some well-known artists are invited to watch the show and then comment on it.

However, the focus of South Korea’s publicity was mainly on inviting people to attend preview screenings, and there was no dedicated person to film the post-screening remarks.

Those invited to the preview in the afternoon also needed to appear in front of the media and be photographed. This was held in a CGV cinema in Cheongdam-dong.

There were many people helping out this time.

For example, Kwon Hyun Hyuk single-handedly invited Han Hyo Joo, TWICE, Kim Ji Soo, Lee Sung Kyung, Jo Mi Yeon, as well as Kim Ro Woon, Kim Sang Seob, Yoo In Sik and other acquaintances in front of and behind the scenes who have worked with him before or will work with him in the future.

It can be said that it is a gathering of stars.
