Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 456 I Live Alone

In the specially built set, there is a rockery that is more than ten meters high. A large green screen is placed around the rockery. The camera is adjusted to the position and the lighting is also adjusted to look like real sunlight.

Park Chan-wook's works have a strong personal style, and are even known for their dark and weird style. Some people even comment that he should be classified as a CULT film director, and he does not shy away from bloody, violent and pornographic scenes.

But in this movie, the style continues, but the bloody and violent scenes are much more conservative and not so nakedly displayed.

"Press and hold this button. If something unexpected happens, release and hold the parking brake."

The security personnel finally instructed Park Hae-il, but Kwon Hyun-hyuk on the side put on the equipment first.

The shot that will be filmed now is Park Hae-il and Kwon Hyun-hyuk using a cable device to assist them in climbing up the mountain. Like rock climbers, they follow the cliff and use the rope to go up, which is the reverse of rappelling.

"Three, two, one!"

This is considered a difficult shot in the entire film. The two men are back to back, Park Hae-il is operating the equipment and walking up, while Kwon Hyun-hyuk is like a burden, with his long legs hanging down.

"Ready, Action!"

After the two people in mid-air were ready, Quan Xuanhe began to recite his lines with great emotion, his tone full of speechlessness, "You can obviously walk up, why do you have to go up like this?"

Park Hae-il spoke with a little effort, "This is the deceased's route, and we are the police."

Quan Xuanhe was speechless after hearing this. "So are we going to fall when we go down the mountain? And we have to collide three more times?"

"Why would anyone climb up to a place like this? Shouldn't there be a law against this?"

From the dialogue, one can clearly feel the personality traits and differences of the two people, and the plot progresses slowly.

There are many details, metaphors, and language in this movie that are worth pondering, but for the actors shooting on the spot, they just read the lines and react step by step according to the script, and repeatedly ponder the characters.

For the talented Quan Xuanhe, he understands every role well and can act it out with ease, exactly as the director had in mind.

The two were still hanging on the rockery in mid-air, and director Park Chan-wook nodded slightly as he looked at the scene in the camera.

"Not bad, good performance."

Park Chan-wook expressed his approval, but without wasting time, he continued filming.

The set was bustling with activity. When Park Jung-jung arrived, he only saw Kwon Hyun-hyuk hanging in mid-air next to a fake stone, reciting his lines with difficulty.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who was waiting in the air, also saw Park Jung-jung and waved his hand vigorously. This action made the two people in the air sway and become unstable.

This frightened Park Jung-ting below so much that his heart started beating wildly, and he quickly pressed his hand towards him.

Quan Xuanhe is extremely valuable now, and nothing can go wrong with him.

After the filming of this scene was completed, Park Jung-jung walked up to him, pulled him aside and talked to him.

"Pack up and get ready to leave."

"Where are you going?"

“Filming a variety show.”

"Now?"

"Yes, right now. I've asked for leave from your crew. You don't need to prepare anything else. Just leave this afternoon. I'll go say hello to the director then. This was agreed upon before we started working."

Park Jung-jung's decisiveness made Kwon Hyun-hyuk a little confused.

"Okay, but why don't I know?"

"Your mind is not on this at all, there are only those women in your mind."

Park Jung-jung started complaining about her at this time, which made her speechless and she didn't know what to say.

"You can't tell the director about this kind of thing. It will have a bad impact. I have to tell him."

This is what agents do. They can’t just boss artists around and order them around. They’re not idols.

After Kwon Hyun Hyuk hurriedly said hello to the director, he was taken away. It was only when he sat in the nanny car that he felt the reality.

"Where?"

"Photo shoot for a magazine."

"Isn't this a variety show?"

"Strictly speaking, I filmed the variety show on the side. Now it's getting late, I have to hurry up and shoot the magazine. After the August magazine, I may also be promoted later."

"Chaumet has been testing the waters for two months. This time, we're going to spend money to promote you and see which way the wind blows. If it works out, we can secure the endorsement contract before the end of the year."

"What level?"

Quan Xuanhe asked.

His commercial value has taken off now, and most of the things that follow will come naturally, step by step, without having to spend too much time worrying about it.

Except for the unpopular and less popular Porsche endorsement.

Porsche, who had been making slow progress, softened his attitude when he saw that Ji Ji was unable to support Ji Ji and looked at Quan Xuanhe who took the initiative to express the idea of ​​cooperation.

"The lowest level is South Korea, but it's hard to just give you a global title. There are only a few global ambassador positions, and you have to wait for someone's contract to expire before a new person can take the position. It's more likely that they won't be given a specific title, but the publicity level will at least be Asian level."

Park Jung-jung was talking here, explaining the situation of Chaumet Paris to him.

"And you obviously have two dramas waiting to be aired this year. At this point, any brand would want to wait a little longer."

Will the next step for the new top star be to continue to move upward with great momentum?

Or standing still with no success or failure.

Or it may fail miserably and suffer a great loss.

"Wait, no rush, just wait."

Quan Xuanhe chuckled and showed that he didn't care at all.

When DP and Squid Games are broadcast later, there is no need to argue here anymore. Everyone will have to come forward and his price will have to be raised again.

"The advantage is mine."

Quan Xuanhe said confidently.

Compared to his humble attitude back then, he is now more arrogant. The more popular he becomes, the more he has to show off his aura when facing these brands.

We drove all the way there quickly, as today we were going to shoot the cover of Vogue magazine.

Fortunately, the filming was still carried out in South Korea and there was no need to fly overseas to shoot.

After arriving at the studio, two people came towards me, one of them carrying a camera.

"This is the follow-up PD for my live-alone show."

It seemed that the connection had been made long ago, so Park Jung-jung introduced him directly.

I Live Alone

A star observation program, as the name suggests, the cameramen who follow the star will record his entire day's itinerary, and the people in the recording studio will comment on it from an observational perspective.

This program started in 2013 and has been broadcast until today after receiving a good response. It has become more and more popular and has been broadcast steadily, and has become a long-running variety show.
In recent years, star observation programs have been very popular, and various types of observation programs have gradually emerged. At the peak period, there were 21 observation variety shows according to incomplete statistics.

On this basis, a new emerging trend is love observation.

The first season of the now-popular observational dating show "Love in Transit" premiered at the end of June, but the timing wasn't ideal, as it almost coincided with the Olympics, making it difficult to generate buzz. It wasn't until the second season that it exploded, especially overseas, with guests like Hae-eun and Hyun-kyu performing very well.

This kind of program relies heavily on the talents of the participating guests. If the guests are well chosen, the program will naturally be interesting.

This is the same as the response to "Goodbye Lovers", which was hovering around the level. It was not until the fourth season that some effective guests such as Mai Lin, Yang Zi, and Liu Jishou appeared, which created a hot response that broke through the circle.

Netflix, seeing the signs of success and thinking it has a piece of cake, has started planning variety shows again. Among them, one is called "Single is Hell".

As you can tell from the name, Koreans’ obsession with love is like a transfer and hell.

However, there have been programs that observe relationships in the past, but they were not widely discussed overseas. It was considered a new form that opened up the market and was called "Heart Signal". Later, it was not known whether the copyright was purchased in China, but Mango TV launched a similar program called "Signal of Heartbeat".

The Korean love variety show "Heart Signal" was first aired in 2017 and has been filmed until its fourth season. It became a big hit since the second season and was highly discussed in South Korea, reaching the level of a legend, but it did not receive much response overseas.

That is, Netflix's "Single Is Hell" became further famous in the entire Korean Wave circle, and observation dating variety shows became completely popular both at home and abroad. Subsequently, various forms emerged like mushrooms after rain.

Netflix made a lot of money from filming Korean variety shows and found it profitable, so it increased its investment in variety shows, which in turn affected its investment in film and television. Of course, this happened later, so I won’t go into details.

"The show starts filming from now on."

"Hello."

Quan Xuanhe simply said hello, and then the program team showed him the general script. The specific process was still designed according to his schedule.

After the camera observes Kwon Hyun Hyuk shooting a magazine, the program crew will follow him throughout what he does after get off work, such as going out to eat, walking the dog, and in short, observing the specific content of his life.

Park Jung-jung had considered letting him appear on this program. At present, letting him appear on Running Man or something like that would be tiring and would not have much publicity effect. Knowing Brothers is a cable TV station. Since it is for promotion, it has to be chosen from programs on wireless stations that have wider audience ratings.

After careful selection, he finally chose this program which would not make Quan Xuanhe tired but would give him some free time in disguise.

He is such a thoughtful uncle.

Back to the topic, after entering the studio, Kwon Hyun Hyuk began to busy himself preparing to start shooting the magazine.

The photographer we invited here today, Mo Zhengxu, is also an experienced and excellent photographer whose works have received constant praise. He often shoots for magazines such as "Vogue", "W" and "Dazed".

He has photographed many big celebrities, such as Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye Jin, IU, etc., basically all of them. In addition to regular magazine covers, he also photographed the famous IU's Palette album cover.

In conclusion, he is a photographer who never makes mistakes and has a great style. His works are simple and elegant without losing their charm, especially the processing of the texture of the pictures, which is meticulous and sophisticated.

In order to promote him on the cover this time, Louis Vuitton indeed invited a big shot, spent a lot of money, and offered him the best salary. The entire cloakroom was filled with unreleased new ready-to-wear clothes.

It was destined to be a long filming process.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The filming continued until almost dawn.

From a suit and tie to loose clothes, Quan Xuanhe's brain was almost numb. This was the most complicated filming process since his debut.

He changed into a woolen sweater and work pants, and the makeup artist in front of him stood on tiptoe to touch up Quan Xuanhe's makeup.

The main style of this shoot is cold style. There is no need to smile throughout the whole process. The camera is full of texture.

"OK, walk back and forth, pretend to turn around, and make your expression even colder, like you're looking at garbage, your eyes should be indifferent!"

Photographer Mo Zhengxu shouted while holding up his camera, he was full of passion while shooting. As he looked at Quan Xuanhe whose expression became increasingly cold, he felt more and more excited, and felt that he was becoming more and more beautiful in the camera.

The camera simply got close to Quan Xuanhe's face. The person assisting him raised the props and placed them behind Quan Xuanhe. The shutter sounds in Mo Zhengxu's hands kept coming, and finally he shouted.

"OK!"

The cold expression on Quan Xuanhe's face disappeared, and he nodded with a slight smile on his face.

"Today's filming ends here. Thank you for your hard work."

After the filming was finished and I had done an interview, the crew of the program "I Live Alone" came up to me again, turned on the camera and started filming.

Quan Xuanhe had just come out of the waiting room. He had changed his clothes and removed his makeup. He walked out wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are still filming with me at this late hour."

"It doesn't matter. It's normal to confuse black and white."

followPD is a girl. She wore a mask and waved with a smile.

"Shall I treat you to dinner?"

Hearing this, the girl shook her head and refused, not wanting to delay the filming time.

"Then I'll buy you some coffee. You must be very sleepy since we're still filming so late."

Quan Xuanhe spoke again, regardless of whether the camera was on or not, he communicated with the girl in a natural tone.

followPD nodded and stopped refusing.

"Then I'll call someone."

Quan Xuanhe thought about it and thought, although it was about filming a person's life, what's the point if he goes home alone? They were all following him anyway, so he might as well create some show effects.

Looking for boys.
He thought about it and quickly rejected the idea.

Looking for a woman.
It's a bit risky, as fans might have objections. If we use a female idol, the female fans might have even more objections.

Who cares? Just find whoever you want. You've reached this point now, can't you just do whatever you want?

When Quan Xuanhe thought of this, he didn't waste any time and just dialed the number.

"Hey?"

"Do you have time?"

"I'm filming a variety show and I need some material. If you don't mind, come out."

"Now?"

The female voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little surprised.

"Right now, aren't you willing? There's footage anyway, and it's not like we're doing anything weird."

"ah!"

The voice on the other end suddenly became dissatisfied.

"I'll wait for you. I'll send you the location later."

After Quan Xuanhe made the decision, he hung up the phone without giving her any explanation or chance to refuse, and looked up at followPD.

"Is this okay? Can you get someone over here?"

He asked casually, apparently ready to follow his own ideas.

Logically speaking, if I live alone, then the mode must be to observe him alone, but Quan Xuanhe is popular, so if he insists on doing so, it's not a big problem.

So she just nodded through her mask and said, "It will be edited appropriately later."

Hearing this, Quan Xuanhe nodded and said, "Then let's meet at the destination."

On the other side, Minatozaki Sana held her head and sighed, then she got up from the sofa and got up busily to prepare to leave.

Sometimes she really has no way to deal with Quan Xuanhe.
