Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 357

Time has come to 2021, a brand new beginning.

The year 2020 also left its last footprint in a flash. In this year of great significance to Quan Xuanhe, many things happened, and it was also a milestone year on his road to success.

From the Romantic Doctor Kim 2 at the beginning of the year, to the movie Innocence in the middle of the year, to Goddess Arrives at the end of the year.

Two dramas, one movie, and one drama to be broadcast were effectively broadcast throughout the year.

This output is particularly prominent in the era of the epidemic.

Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2 laid the foundation for Kwon Hyun Hyuk to become a top star in South Korea, and he became one of the best of the new generation. With a highest viewership rating of over %, it is still Kwon Hyun Hyuk's representative work in South Korea.

Innocence allowed Quan Xuanhe to take a solid step on the road of film and make a name for himself. He played a fool with a godly face, and his unconventional performance broke the shackles of idol that had not yet become solid.

The show "True Beauty" was a huge hit when it was aired at the end of the year. It attracted attention from home and abroad from before to after the premiere. It is still on the air and fascinates girls all over the world.

Finally, there is another drama that has been completed and is waiting to be broadcast. It is in the post-production editing stage and waiting to be scheduled by Netflix. It is called "Squid Game" and is expected to be broadcast in mid-to-late 2021.

A point that is easily overlooked is that so far, he has not had a backlog of unbroadcast dramas. Of course, it may also be because he has not filmed enough dramas and his debut time is still short. However, with his sixth sense guiding him, he believes that the probability of encountering failure in the future will be zero, and there will be no dramas that cannot be scheduled for broadcast.

Sometimes it is an advantage to be able to broadcast the film immediately after filming without delay, which means high turnover and high efficiency.

It took two years for Zombie School to be filmed and broadcast, and nearly three years for Super Power Tribe to be filmed and broadcast. The backlog of episodes wasted the actors' precious rising period.

Her personal business value also achieved a breakthrough this year, earning nearly 3 billion yuan. She was favored by high-end luxury brands and became the Korean ambassador for LV ready-to-wear and Dior beauty lines.

With the addition of advertisements, he has endorsed a total of seven brands, covering various fields such as finance, food, and daily necessities.

She has shot for four magazines, including Dazed, Nylon, Maria Claire, and Vogue, appearing on the cover three times and on the inside pages once. Her fashion expression and achievements rank first among her peers.

His popularity has soared, and he has nearly 10 million followers on Instagram, ranking among the top in commercial value among the younger generation.

He won two awards: Best Newcomer and Couple in TV series, and Best New Film in film, aiming for the Blue Dragon.

In terms of love.
He and Chou Tzu-yu had a wonderful love affair. Although it ended in an unhappy way, it is still lingering in people's minds and hard to let go.

I got along well with many idols, expanded my social circle, and broadened my circle of friends.

In the end, he made a gorgeous return to being single, and it was unclear whether Kim Ji-soo could be considered a couple in the strict sense.

Well. The people I had relatively close contact with this year were Lee Sung-kyung, Chou Tzu-yu, Jo Mi-yeon, and Kim Ji-soo, a total of four people. I wonder if there are anyone else I missed.

Overall, this year was a busy year for Quan Xuanhe's career, a year of rapid career growth, and a solid foundation for him to reach a higher level.

On the first day of the new year, the biggest news in the entertainment section was a pair of officially announced new year couples, Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, who fell in love on the set and finally got together because of the drama Crash Landing on You.

This is the biggest news of the year.

This kind of falling in love on the set is not unprecedented in the entertainment industry, especially among actors, and it is something that people like to see.

Such exciting news easily makes people think of Kwon Hyun Hyuk and Kim Ji Soo.

The hottest melo drama currently being broadcast has explosive popularity overseas. The two leading actors were involved in a scandal, which they vaguely admitted.

An obvious couple.

However, there wasn't much discussion surrounding the two of them, and it wasn't negative.

"True Beauty" has been on the air for more than a month and has already cultivated a large number of fans. As the saying goes, the east wind prevails over the west wind. Large numbers of fans wish that the two will walk straight into the marriage hall, just like the Song-Song couple before their divorce.

Time just passes by like flowing water.

After experiencing the peak ratings in the eighth episode, the ratings subsequently stabilized and fluctuated around 4%, and the curve did not show a straight upward trend.

The plot itself is not exciting enough. The cliché is one aspect, but it is not the main point. The more critical factor is the off-field factors.

After the broadcast of a Trot program on TV Chosun, its ratings skyrocketed, and its evening ratings frequently exceeded 30%.

Apart from that, there is no need to mention The Penthouse. The finale is being broadcast these two days, and the industry estimates that the ratings will be 30%.

The cake is so small that the audience has been sucked away. As a melodrama targeting young audiences, "True Beauty" naturally won't get much good ratings.

But this is not the point. No one has linked the explosive popularity of "Goddess's Advent" with the ratings. The focus is on the Internet.

Netflix's current number of viewers has exceeded 40 million, firmly occupying the first place on the global list, and its weekly viewing volume has a gap of millions with the second place.

Secondly, and more importantly, it’s not just popular on Netflix.

On Google, the search keyword "True Beauty Advent" is the most searched TV series in the world in the past two months, and it ranks first without the Korean drama prefix.

There is no need to elaborate on this trend and momentum. It is certain that it will be included in the Korean Wave White Paper.

But apart from this, there is another thing that is related to Quan Xuanhe.

That is Gidle's return with the title song Sparks.

I watched the MV and Zhao Meiyan is absolutely beautiful.

"Why didn't you tell me? I only found out about your return from watching the news."

Kwon Hyun Hyuk just finished watching Zhao Meiyan's appearance in the MV. She has black hair and a princess cut, a bit like Hancock, the Empress in One Piece.

Gorgeous and exquisite, with skin whiter than snow, black hair like lacquer, and a cold beauty.

It's true that fame brings good fortune. He seems to have shed the immature look he had when he debuted. The shots in the MV are so beautiful. Why didn't I feel this way before he got off the car?

"Oh, I forgot."

When Zhao Meiyan received a call from Quan Xuanhe, she was so nervous that she didn't know how to face him.

You said that she was an indirect cause of their breakup. I feel like it's difficult to breathe and I feel ashamed every time I think about it.

She didn't even know how to communicate or keep in touch with Quan Xuanhe.

As it happened that she was busy returning home, she deliberately forgot about it and put it aside for the time being.

Who would have thought that Quan Xuanhe would call him directly and torture him on the spot.

"Forgot? I don't believe you're so forgetful."

Quan Xuanhe's tone was intriguing, and he spoke with a smile.

He still remembers it clearly, as it wasn't that long ago.

He was surprised at the time about the hype and even how Chou Tzuyu knew about some other things.

It turned out to be a chain of events, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and finally it reached Zhou Ziyu's ears.

"After all, you are the culprit that caused the breakup."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw a big pot of black pot on her, catching Zhao Meiyan off guard.

Even though Zhao Meiyan was mentally prepared, she still felt difficulty breathing when she heard what Quan Xuanhe said, and felt like the sky was falling in an instant.

I really feel like crying but have no tears. All the psychological preparation I have been doing has collapsed at this moment.

"I…I didn't mean to do that."

The refined and cool atmosphere was suddenly broken. A pleading look appeared on Zhao Meiyan's face, with her eyebrows drooping. Although she was not face to face with Quan Xuanhe, her temper had already softened.

She swears to God, she really didn't know that when this matter reached Zhou Ziyu, it would lead to their breakup. She didn't expect it to have such serious consequences.

No. She didn't think that the two of them would break up all of a sudden just because of this incident. Who could have imagined that?

Are feelings a little... too fragile?

Zhao Meiyan didn't have time to think too much. Quan Xuanhe's further torture made her panic and confused. She was at a loss and could only follow his thoughts.

"Not intentional?"

"You and Ye Shuhua are teammates, and she's close to Tzuyu. Why don't you think carefully before you say these things?"

"If she overhears this and exaggerates it to tell Tzuyu, the consequences could be disastrous."

Quan Xuanhe tortured Zhao Meiyan severely, and his words left Zhao Meiyan with almost no room for rebuttal.

Zhao Meiyan opened her mouth and felt confused, not knowing what to say.

There was silence on the phone.

"I'm sorry...I made a mistake."

Zhao Meiyan acted like a punching bag, speaking in a humble voice, showing weakness in everything she said and was extremely cautious. She had to bear the blame firmly.

"Is a simple apology enough?"

"If apologies work, what's the point of having police?"

This line...

Is that really what you should say?
Zhao Meiyan felt embarrassed after hearing what he said, and she refuted him in a low voice, "Why are you so fierce? I apologized, and I didn't know it would be like this..."

It sounds like a girlfriend who has done something wrong and is feeling aggrieved and acting like a spoiled child.

"Let me ask, what did Ye Shuhua know?"

A playful smile appeared on Quan Xuanhe's lips, and he could clearly imagine what expression Zhao Meiyan had at that moment.

So easy to adjust?

"whats the matter?"

"We usually chat a lot, I don't know what they are about..."

Zhao Meiyan spoke hesitantly and vaguely.

Normally, we talk about everything in private, and there are so many things to say, so who knows what will be spread out from Ye Shuhua.

"Not sure?"

"Don't you know what you said?"

Quan Xuanhe tortured him repeatedly.

"Ah...why are you so fierce?"

Zhao Meiyan felt a surge of grievances in her heart. Quan Xuanhe's relentless pressure made her very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but pout and speak in a dissatisfied tone.

"Where are you being mean? Think carefully about whether you have reflected on yourself and have sincerely admitted your mistakes."

"Ah Qinjia, I didn't do it on purpose. How could I have known it would end up like this?"

"If you want to find it, go find Shuhua. It's not my fault."

Zhao Meiyan couldn't stand being oppressed by him like this. Thinking of the real murderer, she felt more aggrieved than anyone else for a moment.

"Shhua?"

"I don't need to go find her. She will learn it herself later."

What Quan Xuanhe said was very intriguing, which surprised Zhao Meiyan. She was attracted to it and asked questions repeatedly.

"why?"

"You don't need to know that."

How could Quan Xuanhe possibly tell Zhao Meiyan? This sentence immediately killed Zhao Meiyan's curiosity.

"Anyway, you owe me something. You ruined my relationship. If it's a bit more serious, do you know what it's called?"

"You don't want other people to know about this, right? Mei Yanxi?"

A teasing voice rang in Zhao Meiyan's ears, making her shiver and swallow. She felt inexplicably weak in the legs and her heart was in a state of panic.

"What are you talking about? Is it really necessary to be like this? We are still close friends, so do we have to be so ruthless?"

Faced with Quan Xuanhe's aggressive attitude, Zhao Meiyan had a small outburst. His attitude was irritating.

"em"

"You're right."

what?
Quan Xuanhe's sudden turn made Zhao Meiyan dumbfounded. She thought she would at least argue for a few more words, but she didn't expect Quan Xuanhe to take advantage of the situation and back down like that.

"That's all. Anyway, remember that you owe me and Tzuyu a favor, Arasso?"

"Moya."

Zhao Meiyan had countless complaints in her heart that she wanted to burst out from her chest, but she was stuck in the middle by him. She was extremely depressed and resentful.

"I wish you a smooth return and strive to win ten first places."

Quan Xuanhe was not really angry, but it is not right to say that Zhao Meiyan did not make any mistakes. It is enough for her to honestly take the blame and bow her head in front of Quan Xuanhe.

Eh?
"Why ten?"

Zhao Meiyan noticed that he had said a very specific number and asked curiously.

"Just saying it casually, the more the better."

The song Sparkle was a song that performed very well during Gidle's rising period. It's okay to consider it a big hit, and it's even easier to consider it as the best song among the promoted girl groups, which jumped to the top.

But this is obviously not the key point. The important thing is that this comeback seems to be a last gasp. Not long after that, member Seo Soo-jin was involved in a school violence controversy, which caused the team to almost go into semi-hibernation and its development period was fractured.

It’s really like thinking about heaven and hell.

But don’t tell this to Zhao Meiyan right in front of you, it’s meaningless.

"I can't help you promote it anymore, so I can only talk to you on the phone and cheer you on."

He is currently in the CP period with Kim Ji-soo. It's not out of personal feelings, but they have signed a contract in black and white and cannot violate the contract during this period. Naturally, this also includes publicity with other opposite sexes. Temporarily cutting ties with other CPs during this period is no joke.

"I see."

"Come on, I'll be cheering for you after the show is over."

General Quan was as warm and considerate as ever, and gave Zhao Meiyan thoughtful instructions.

Hearing this, Zhao Meiyan, who had been scolded on the phone and couldn't even raise her head, felt a sense of relief in her heart, and the depression and resentment she had just felt disappeared.
