Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 425 Finishing

Time waits for no one, and June 2021 has quietly arrived.

The crew's progress is constantly advancing, Quan Xuanhe's injuries are getting better day by day, and the day of finishing work is getting closer.

Seeing that his schedule was well-balanced and he had free time, the team arranged for him to host this year's Dream Concert.

The concert will still be held without an audience and will be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. I don’t know why such a large venue is used when there will be no audience in attendance.

At the same time, Twice's comeback is just around the corner.

What can be clearly felt is that within the entire fan circle, including the public, the feedback on Twice is gradually becoming dull and is not as hot as in the past two years.

On the contrary, BLACKPINK's popularity is growing, and the discussion among the public remains high.

But Twice's comeback this time seems to be quite well-produced, and the quality seems to be much higher than before, so fans are still very much looking forward to it.

"The Chinese college entrance exam is coming soon, right?"

Quan Xuanhe looked at the time that suddenly reminded him on his mobile phone, and suddenly thought of Chinese fans and this point.

"China's college entrance examination?"

Liu Aili, who was standing by, was a little confused. She lowered her head and searched on her phone. Then she looked up and nodded in realization, "Yes, it's only two days away."

"How about making a blessing video? That should be appropriate."

Quan Xuanhe suggested.

It seems that he has to please fans no matter what. He hasn't held any offline activities for a year or two, and hasn't met his offline fans, which makes Quan Xuanhe feel like something is missing. He still wants to be more proactive in operations.

"Wait, I'll go report to the company."

As an assistant, Liu Aili also serves as a messenger. She has no decision-making power on matters and must report everything first.

“The company said it was no problem.”

"Then let's wait until I finish filming. The clothes I'm wearing now are not suitable for filming a blessing video. How can I wear this?"

Quan Xuanhe looked down at himself. He was still wearing military uniform, and even if it was a costume, it would not be appropriate to appear in the camera outside the play.

The crew is now in an abandoned air-raid shelter, no longer in the city of Seoul, but further north, even in the wilderness. It is covered with dense trees, with undulating low hills, lush greenery, and fresh air.

Today is the day we shoot the final scene, which is also the climax of the plot.

The weather in June was hot and you would start sweating if you stood outside for a while. The crew gathered at the door of the air-raid shelter. The cool air coming out of the shelter made people feel a little calmer and less hot.

The makeup on Quan Xuanhe's face was dirty.

The crew pointed out the route to a few people, walked into the air-raid shelter tunnel, and explained the main scenes.

There was only dim light in the air-raid shelter, making it a little dark, but the darkness was soon broken by the lighting technician from the crew who came in, making it bright.

"One last question, are there really no problems with the action scenes? The stunt double can always follow."

The director and even the producer turned their eyes to him with concern.

Quan Xuanhe touched his waist, moved around a bit, and finally nodded, "It's okay."

With his nod, the crew's filming officially began.

There was a track base on the ground. The photographer held the camera to find the picture. Several people found their positions in front of the camera and took the final climax shot first.

Shi Feng, the key figure at the end of the plot, was forced into a desperate situation and got the criminal police's gun. His emotions were on the verge of collapse and he was in an extremely uncontrollable state.

In the play, Shi Feng was bullied by the military. He was originally a teacher before joining the army. After joining the army, he suffered a mental breakdown due to the continuous bullying by the military. After escaping, he accidentally injured a criminal policeman, and went alone to settle accounts with those who bullied him, which caused a lot of discussion in society.

This caused the military to lose face and they decided to send out troops to capture him personally or even kill him. However, the protagonists believed that Shi Feng could be persuaded to return to the team voluntarily and be dealt with leniently.

The two sides finally chased to the air-raid shelter, and the situation reached the final critical moment.

Generally speaking, the plot of DP Deserter is compact in the final moments, the storylines are closely linked, and the theme is profound. Otherwise, it would not have received a high score of more than nine points on Douban, becoming a phenomenal Korean drama that reflects reality at the social level.

A gunshot!
The sound of gunfire echoed in the air-raid shelter, and everyone was startled and their expressions changed drastically.

Gu Kyo-hwan, whose real name in the play is Han Junhao, was so scared that he bent over with a look of horror on his face.

Quan Xuanhe rushed over with an anxious look on his face, and immediately shouted at Shi Feng who was about to act impulsively.

With blood all over his face and breathing heavily as he hurried, Quan Xuanhe looked towards Shi Feng with an anxious and worried expression. He looked at Shi Feng helplessly, "Brother, Shan Ya is still waiting for you. Her grades have improved a lot. She said she's very grateful to you and that she'll wait for your holiday so she can go eat spicy rice cakes with you."

"But brother, what are you doing now?"

Quan Xuanhe limped closer and closer to him, tears welling up in his eyes, and his emotions were brewing just right at this moment.

Watching a kind person being forced into a desperate situation, or even making irreparable mistakes, makes me feel extremely complicated.

Just when the two men's persuasion was making Shi Feng waver, the troops arrived hurriedly, making Shi Feng, who had begun to hesitate, become impulsive and reckless again. He dragged Huang Zhangxiu and stumbled to the edge of the cliff of the air-raid shelter, waving the gun in his hand with a look of horror.

The situation became increasingly urgent and reached a critical moment.

"Don't come over here, you bastards, shit!"

Shi Feng was on the verge of collapse. His eyes were hazy, and the crowd in front of him appeared in his sight with overlapping and disordered figures. The shouting in his ears was noisy and disorderly, and for a time he lost the ability to think.

He slowly looked at Quan Xuanhe, also known as Junhao.

"Junhao, I can't be a teacher anymore."

He hesitated and struggled, unable to shoot the person who hurt him, but he was extremely determined on himself. He muttered that he had to do something, and finally picked up the gun and pointed it at himself.

Kind people always choose to hurt themselves.

Another gunshot rang out. Shi Feng, who was kind-hearted by nature, did not choose to kill Huang Zhangxiu, who bullied him. Instead, he pointed the gun at himself and pulled the trigger.

In a flash, Quan Xuanhe pounced forward, leaped over and knocked him to the ground, trying to stop him.

But the opportunity had been missed, and blood spurted out from his neck, staining it bright red.

Shi Feng collapsed to the ground, his breathing short and twitching. He lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the front, as if he had been deprived of air. He let out a rapid and heavy gasp from his throat, "Mom."

Quan Xuanhe reacted, his eyes filled with great shock and despair, his fingers trembling as he wanted to step forward and touch Shi Feng.

At this moment, the camera's focus was all on Quan Xuanhe. The camera focused on his face, capturing all his changes in expression.

The kind-hearted Junhao could not accept that a kind person ended up committing suicide in this way.

His lips trembled slightly, as if telling of the pain in his heart. His voice was trapped in his throat, unable to make a sound. After a few howls, he burst into tears, and he didn't know when the tears in his eyes slid down his face.

I've said it a thousand times, but Kwon Hyun Hyuk's most striking feature is his eyes. When they express something, the sum of their parts is clearly greater than the sum of their parts. Directors he's worked with, upon noticing his brilliance, have tended to focus more on his eyes. His eyes speak volumes, his frowns and frowns convey a sense of heartbreak, leaving him speechless.

"cut!"

"OK, very good, very good shot, really good."

Quan Xuanhe's acting skills are improving all the time. At the same time, there is the comparison with the original version. Each drama is different. The rapid improvement is his ability. The award is not won easily, it is real.

The director was behind the dispatcher, watching the performance of the entire scene and nodding his head, praising Quan Xuanhe.

He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mood. For a moment, he couldn't force a smile on his face. He showed a forced response and then slowly adjusted his state.

There's nothing I can do about the emotions I get while filming, I need to adjust.

"Camera ready for the next scene."

As the crew moved equipment, Quan Xuanhe adjusted his state and continued to prepare for the filming of the next scene.

At the end of the transition, Quan Xuanhe returned to the military camp where the filming started.

"Okay, everyone has finished their meal, and the weather is so beautiful. How can the morale of an invincible army be like this?"

The original instructor stood on the staircase platform, overlooking the rows of recruits standing below.

"Animeda! (No)"

"Okay, everyone get ready and start training."

"loyalty!"

As row after row of soldiers turned and left, Quan Xuanhe, who was standing at the end of the team, remained standing there, expressionless, his eyes staring blankly into the empty space ahead.

The camera angle changed and gradually moved in, facing his face.

The sergeant standing nearby saw him still standing there, muttered something, and then shouted at him: "An Junhao, why don't you come over?"

one two three
As he counted down in his heart, Quan Xuanhe's eyes moved upwards and met the camera's.

His expression in front of the camera was empty and numb. After experiencing the Shi Feng incident, he seemed to have lost hope in everything in this army.

He said nothing, looked at the camera briefly, and then turned away.

Turn left, separate yourself from the crowd turning right, and walk in the opposite direction.

The camera follows behind him, watching his back all the way.

Then his pace became faster and faster. Quan Xuanhe took off his hat, staggered his steps, and ran on the deserted road.

Finished!
"OK!"

"DP Deserter Wanted, Ahn Jun-ho, our Xuan-hyuk, officially wrapped filming today!"

The director called "cut" and then took the microphone to announce the wrap-up to everyone in the audience.

It was not only the completion of his own filming, but also the completion of the last scene of the crew. Because he was injured in the middle of the filming, in the end only his scene was not completed.

At this point, the entire crew officially finished filming, and Quan Xuanhe's fifth project came to an end.

The crew suddenly became jubilant. Someone bought a large bouquet of flowers and stuffed it into Quan Xuanhe's arms. Fireworks suddenly exploded over Quan Xuanhe's head, and the shining fireworks fell down, and applause and cheers were like a tide.

"Damn it!"

"Kang Sanmidha, thank you all for your cooperation and tolerance."

The filming of DP lasted nearly four months, and it was basically smooth sailing. Except for the initial dispute over casting, the entire filming process went extremely smoothly. Whether it was external investment promotion or other aspects, it was quite smooth. A group of veteran actors finished filming the show in an orderly manner.

“Let’s take a picture together!”

Dozens of people from the entire crew surrounded Quan Xuanhe and stood in the middle, with the director standing beside him. The dozens of people faced the crew and took a group photo.

"tonight!"

"I'll pay!"

Quan Xuanhe turned slightly to the side, waved his hand and made a generous gesture, which immediately caused the entire crew to cheer, making the scene even more lively.

"The director has worked hard during this period."

After everyone dispersed, Kwon Hyun Hyuk shook hands with the director and producer.

"It doesn't matter. Xuanhe's efforts during this period are obvious to all."

DP Deserter was officially completed from March to June 2021.

The news of the completion of filming was released immediately through Quan Xuanhe’s Instagram post.

[It ended successfully. Thank you all for your hard work. See you in August! ]

He uploaded about ten photos in total, which almost recorded all the big and small events during the entire filming period.

The news of the filming completion excited the industry, and the news that it would be launched in August excited the industry again. The super-efficient scheduling attracted the attention of people of all sizes in the industry.

Netflix's current broadcast scheduling is not so efficient. Generally, it takes at least a year and a half to broadcast after filming.

Netflix is ​​not a charity. Although it does not interfere in the huge investments, the massive output under such a large-scale investment will inevitably require some planning for the broadcast of the project. This planning will take a year or two. The actors and production companies have no power to make decisions and can only follow the arrangements.

Netflix's scheduled release date was August, but it had to be adjusted due to a last-minute insertion by Kwon Hyun-hyuk. It was because of Kwon Hyun-hyuk's insistence that it had to be released in August. They almost explicitly said that it had to be broadcast before Squid Game was released, or later in the next year, but that would extend the battle line again, and the only TV series he would star in in 2021 would be "Goddess Arrives" at the beginning of the year.

Thanks to the record of Korean drama playback created by "True Beauty" on Netflix, and its ranking in the top ten in the world, Netflix has repeatedly emphasized its importance to it.

So, in the end, we managed to rush and finally release it on Netflix at the end of August, and Squid Games in mid-September.

The two dramas were launched closely together.

The happiest ones are the fans. In the absence of materials, only the new drama at that time can quench their thirst.

A lot of things happened during the time of his new drama.

He officially announced his breakup with Kim Ji-soo, held an online fan meeting, and his relationship with Yoo Ji-min hit a freezing point again. However, his relationship with Han Hyo-joo took a step forward, and he and Chou Tzu-yu broke the ice and eased things.

And use your abilities to help those around you.

I don’t know what will happen in the next stage of life, and who will fill the vacant girlfriend position beside him.

Or will you just continue to solo like this?
