Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 423: Show No Acting
Lying in bed always makes you feel bored.

The weather is getting hotter day by day. The end of May is already becoming unbearable. The sun rises earlier and earlier, and the sunlight becomes hotter and hotter.

A lot of people came to see him in the first one or two days after the news of his injury spread, but after the peak period, fewer and fewer people came.

Correspondingly, his health got better and better, he felt less awkward when moving, and he felt that he could use his waist again.

"The sea of ​​hope?"

"Since this is a singing show, why would you invite me for no reason?"

Quan Xuanhe slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at the Han River not far away, with its shimmering waves and the hustle and bustle of traffic, and spoke to Liu Aili without turning his head.

"Go Eun-no-na is also participating?"

Quan Xuanhe was a little surprised, and then turned around to ask her, holding his waist and pacing repeatedly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly getting used to the rehabilitation.

“What is this show mainly about?”

Liu Aili held the notebook in her hand and continued after hearing his question, "This is a healing variety show where the stars personally select the songs and prepare the dishes at a live concert with a view of the mysterious and beautiful ocean, and the stories of the guests and the stars are told."

A slow variety show with a healing style.

"My singing skills aren't that great, and I don't have any famous songs. There's no point in being on this show."

"Other actors who were invited include Lee Dong Wook and Lee Ji Ah."

"I can't attend, so I'll postpone it."

Quan Xuanhe shook his head, looking unmoved.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, it is not just the film and television industry that has changed. Even the ecology of the variety show industry has slowly changed. Online variety shows have gradually become popular, and TV variety shows are no longer the absolute mainstream. Even this kind of healing slow variety show will gradually be eliminated.

It is happy enough for celebrities to make money. If they can use that money to travel around the world singing and having fun, wouldn’t that be like enjoying heaven?

The pace of society is getting faster and faster, and the pressure is getting greater and greater. Slow variety shows cannot slow down and may even have a counterproductive effect.

"And one more thing"

"The Dream Concert, which was suspended for a year, is now being held again, and we would like to invite you to be the host."

Dream concert?
Quan Xuanhe searched through the memories in his mind. The Dream Concert has been held every year, and it has been held normally except for one year delayed due to the epidemic.

"What day is Baeksang?"

He remembered the next important event and asked again.

"June 19th."

"Talk to me over there first. Wait two days before returning to the crew to see how the filming is progressing. Then go when you can find time."

Hearing this, Liu Aili nodded.

"Jungjung Oppa said that he had met someone from another association introduced by Min Sundong before, and that he had connections with Professor Kim on the committee, and that he would vote for us when the time comes."

This is the key point. Seeing that the public relations matter has made progress, Quan Xuanhe nodded with relief.

No matter what the long-term plan is, the short-term goal of winning Baeksang Arts is the top priority.

Quan Xuanhe looked at the increasingly bright sunshine and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, letting out the depression caused by lying in bed for a long time. He felt much more energetic and his mind was very clear.

The days of rest from his back injury have restored his energy level to full, even to the point of almost bursting.

Liu Aili explained some work matters to him again. Quan Xuanhe lay back on the sofa carefully and slowly, listening with a distracted mind.

Just as his mind was about to drift to heaven, there was a knock at the door.

Quan Xuanhe raised his head and looked towards the door, calling out, "Who is it?"

"I."

This sound.
It sounds familiar, but I can't hear it clearly because of the distance between us and the door.

Quan Xuanhe signaled Liu Aili with his eyes, and she immediately prepared to go forward to open the door, but unexpectedly the door opened automatically.

"Ji Soo?"

Quan Xuanhe raised his head and saw who was coming. His expression suddenly changed. He wanted to sit up, but the movement was difficult. He sat up staggeringly and with some effort.

"Haven't you changed your password yet? Are you so confident?"

Kim Ji-soo's voice rang out, and then she appeared before him.

She was just trying it out, but she didn't expect that the password to Quan Xuanhe's door had not been changed after such a long time.

Are you so confident in her?
Only then did Quan Xuanhe have the mind to take a closer look at Kim Jisoo in front of him.

In fact, there is no need to look too closely. In front is Tzuyu and Sana, and behind is Hyojoo and Jisoo. Each of them is dressed in a graceful, radiant and eye-catching way. Each one has a unique style, but they are all beautiful in the same way.

"feel better now?"

Kim Ji-soo put down the supplements she was carrying and put them aside. She first smiled at Liu Aili, then sat on the sofa opposite him.

Quan Xuanhe slowly sat up and looked at her.

She was wearing a skirt, her legs were very white, and her absolute area was faintly visible.

No, he has already taken it and tasted it, why is he still here just feasting his eyes on it?

"It's not serious. I feel better after a few days of rest. I will be able to return to filming in two days."

He turned his gaze to the things she brought.

"These are some supplements. They will be good for your health."

Seeing where he was looking, Kim Ji-soo took the initiative to explain.

"Thank you."

Hearing this, Jin Zhixiu felt a little annoyed, but smiled nonchalantly, "Why don't you call me Noona?"

"We're all so familiar with each other already."

"That's not OK."

Kim Ji-soo had a smile on her face, but her words were very cold and ruthless, which made Kwon Hyun-hyuk a little helpless.

"Jisu-noona, is this okay?"

When she heard that he called her sister obediently without much argument, a hint of surprise flashed in Kim Ji-soo's eyes.

Did he become more honest after being hurt?
Or is it because I haven't seen a change in personality for too long?

"I was quite busy the past few days, shooting for a magazine, so I didn't have time to see you. Sorry."

Kim Ji-soo has cut off ties with him since the official announcement of their breakup, mainly because her feelings towards Kwon Hyun-hyuk are unclear, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk's somewhat cynical attitude makes her undecided.

After the official announcement of their breakup, Quan Xuanhe seemed to have no attachment to their relationship at all. She had never actively contacted him during that time, as if his words about pretending to be real were just a joke, and she was the only one who took it seriously.

This behavior made Kim Ji-soo very concerned, but other things about Kwon Hyun-hyuk often made her dazed and hesitant.

So, after seeing that Quan Xuanhe was injured, she put aside her unhappiness for the time being and took the initiative to visit Quan Xuanhe.

"There's nothing to apologize for. At most, I just made a mental note."

When she heard the first half of the sentence, Kim Ji-soo felt quite relaxed, habitually thinking that he would not take it to heart. But when she heard the second half, her expression froze, and then a hint of anger appeared on her face, and she smiled speechlessly.

"mo?"

"We have such a good relationship, I would definitely mind if you didn't come to see me."

Kwon Hyun Hyuk spoke as if it was a matter of course, even with strong arguments, which made Kim Ji Soo feel uncomfortable.

"Your Qinjia"

Jin Zhixiu sighed heavily, her expression somewhat distressed. "How come everything I say is justified by you? You're so unreasonable and don't give me any chance at all."

She mumbled and criticized Kwon Hyun Hyuk fluently. After suppressing her complicated emotions, Kim Ji Soo was still quite individual and not at all conflicted.

"Nuna." Quan Xuanhe looked up at Liu Aili, held back what he wanted to say, and did not continue.

He wanted to talk nonsense, but then he thought that there was someone here to listen and gave up.

"Nuna, pour me a glass of water and wash some fruit. I'm feeling a bit hungry."

Quan Xuanhe sat there steadily, motioning for her to put down her bag and relax.

Kim Ji-soo is now Dior's highest global spokesperson, and also serves as the global spokesperson for its beauty line. This treatment is basically unmatched in Korean entertainment. Naturally, she often wears Dior clothing on a daily basis.

This was achieved thanks to the goddess's arrival and her already high popularity, and it is not fake at all.

"What to eat?"

Kim Ji-soo walked to the refrigerator with ease, opened the door, and looked inside.

She knew Quan Xuanhe's home best, and she still felt familiar when she came back after a few months.

"Cherry."

Kim Ji-soo raised her hand and tied her hair up with skillful movements. Soon, a plate of cherries was placed in front of Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

"Eat."

She took a piece of paper to wipe her hands, then sat opposite Quan Xuanhe. The expression on her face was still bright, and she was willing to take care of him as a patient.

Quan Xuanhe picked up one and put it in his mouth. The juice burst out, slightly sour and sweet, and the flesh was thick.

“Is the project delay urgent?”

Kim Ji-soo thought about it and finally started the conversation with his work.

For some reason, it was difficult for her to completely relax and chat with Quan Xuanhe like a close friend. She was lively and cheerful, but her thoughts were off track.

"It's okay. We were almost done filming anyway. Although there were some delays, it's still within expectations."

Some rental venues and equipment will have to be postponed, and labor costs will also increase accordingly. There is no way around it, but fortunately the time is not delayed for too long.

"That would be best. You've been filming this drama for almost four months, right?"

"Yes, we are almost done filming. How about you?"

Quan Xuanhe nodded and asked.

"I'm on vacation, and I've been shooting for a magazine these days."

The pace of the whole year of 2021 was not very busy. Kim Ji-soo carried out activities in the two areas of fashion and business, and made a lot of money this year.

I have taken on several advertisements through "True Beauty". If it were not for the restrictions of the company, I would have taken on more, and the overall income can be guaranteed to reach 10 billion won.

"Another magazine shoot, is it so hot?"

Quan Xuanhe looked up in surprise and asked.

"It's a group, the cover of Vogue's June issue."

“As expected of BLACKPINK.”

Quan Xuanhe naturally thought of the fact that his LV Vogue magazine had not yet arrived, and he didn't know when the brand would arrange it.

"Talk about me?"

Kim Ji-soo blurted out this sentence, and then took out two notebooks from her bag, which looked like scripts.

"Please give me some advice. I'm a little hesitant between these two scripts and don't know which one to choose."

"So that's why you came to me. I'm a little disappointed."

Upon hearing this, Quan Xuanhe expressed disappointment, shook his head and sighed.

"Don't be disappointed. Why should you be disappointed? You can't be disappointed."

Kim Ji-soo still had a smile on her face, ignoring Kwon Hyun-hyuk's deliberate sarcasm.

"Didn't they say there's a high probability that there won't be any projects this year?"

"The company is coming back next year, and there are no schedules from the second half of the year until the beginning of next year. It would be too boring if I didn't find something to do. The rest time is long enough."

After facing his serious question, Jin Zhixiu answered him in a gentle and thoughtful tone.

Kwon Hyun Hyuk nodded, paused, and then suddenly said something that made Kim Ji Soo dumbfounded.

"You only thought of me when you wanted to use me?"

This sudden remark made Jin Zhixiu unable to hold back. She immediately refuted him with her almond-shaped eyes wide open, "Ah, how can you say that!"

Link: Eat Hard and Love You

"meteor"

Before Kim Ji-soo could criticize him, Kwon Hyun-hyuk was quick to reach out and snatch the script from her hand, and a stream of information immediately popped up in his mind.

Kim Ji-soo frowned, and only after he suddenly offended her from time to time did she feel the reality of being younger than her. She felt that he was like a child, although sometimes a little irritating.

“The director and production company are both very good.”

"Have you confirmed your partner?"

Quan Xuanhe first praised her, then took one away and looked through it, then looked up and asked her.

"The production company said it will probably be Kim Young Dae, but the script has been confirmed for Yeo Jun Goo."

Kim Ji-soo's original intention was to just come and see him, but thinking that Kwon Hyun-hyuk had a lot of ideas, he tricked her into playing the unpopular but extremely successful Goddess Arrives. As someone who has experienced it personally, doesn't she know the value of his vision?

She emphasized that the former was starred by Ryu Jun-yeol to illustrate the quality of the lineup.

Ryu Jun-yeol is still considered one of the top stars in the 95s. After all, he has a solid foundation and has been a star since he was a child. Choosing to star in a melo drama again is also a relatively popular project, and young actresses of the same age are vying for it.

According to the memories that came to my mind, the heroines of these two books are Lee Sung-kyung and Moon Ga-young.

Unexpectedly, due to the butterfly effect, the book came into Kim Ji-soo's hands first and she chose it first.

Yes, Kim Ji-soo's current popularity cannot be underestimated. The popularity of the group alone can allow her to directly occupy a place when she transforms, not to mention that the drama "True Beauty" has laid a good foundation. All suitable melo scripts are looking for her.

The man has Quan Xuanhe and the woman has Jin Zhixiu, they both have a bright future.

"Which one do you like?"

Quan Xuanhe suddenly had the idea of ​​seeing what her vision was like, and asked instead.

"I feel like this one will be better. I feel like the plot is better, and the cast is safer. Isn't the subject matter of this one a bit clichéd?"

Comparing the two scripts, Kim Ji-soo prefers the Link project rather than Meteor.

Who is Kim Young-dae?
A 95-year-old who is still in the struggling stage, his most famous role is a supporting role in The Penthouse. He once co-starred with Quan Xuanhe in One Day, but his status is not as big as Quan Xuanhe. This Meteor is his first leading role project.

What's the difference between this and asking Kim Ji-soo to promote him? It's a disguised form of blood transfusion.

"em"

“There’s actually not much difference.”

The two series did not perform well after they were broadcast. The ratings went downhill steadily and ended up at around 1.3%. This is a failure for both series.

On cable TV, 3% is considered the bottom line for a hit drama. The average viewership rating of "Girlfriend: Ragnarok" is just over 3%, which is considered a hit drama with average results in Korea, and a Korean drama that has been a big hit overseas.

If it is any lower, it will be considered a failure. If there is no compensation on OTT, it will be a complete failure.

After screening, Kim Ji-soo still got these two scripts in front of him. It really makes people wonder whether there is something wrong with her vision or with her agency.

Why are there so many of these scripts? After they are broadcast, they will only consume popularity and will not be able to attract more fans.

"Nuna, you should go to a temple and pray, and then find a professional agent. If that happens, your career as an actor will be over. I'm not kidding."

Faced with Kwon Hyun-hyuk's words, Kim Ji-soo opened her mouth for a moment, not knowing what to say, and felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her heart.
