Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 5 I Want It All

According to the information he obtained, the ratings of this drama were average, but the online discussion was surprisingly high, even surpassing When the Camellia Blooms which was broadcast at the same time!
When the Camellia Blooms was the KBS TV drama of 2019. The female lead Kong Hyo Jin and the male lead Kang Ha Neul were both Best Actor and Best Actress winners, and the cast was even more powerful. The final ratings broke the record.

Even so, the discussion on the Internet has not surpassed that of this drama.

Such a high level of online discussion shows that the audience of this drama is mostly young people. Nowadays, young people rarely sit in front of the TV to watch TV, but watch it on the Internet.

This is the best type of show to attract loyal fans and personal followers.

The drama received much greater response overseas than in South Korea, achieving explosive success.

This is enough to attract Quan Xuanhe.

Some of the other scripts have supporting characters who appear on screen quite a lot, and the cast and production are relatively stronger, but they don't bring as much personal bonus as this one after it was broadcast.

Even some of them had a large cast, such as Crash Landing on You, but they were only shot for a few moments before being taken off the air, so he didn't think about squeezing in.

Even if there are enough roles for the protagonist, it is the worst type of one-act play and web drama.

All in all, this is Quan Xuanhe's decision.

"The second male lead in this drama is just as charming as the male lead, and it's even easy to perform well."

"Besides, if I audition, the competition from a completely new cast will put less pressure on me. Playing the second male lead on one of the three major TV stations right after my debut will be beneficial to my future development."

The cast of this drama is very new. The male lead is Kim Ro-woon, a member of the boy group SF9, and the female lead debuted as a child star. The auditioned actors for the other roles will have even less experience.

"Besides, this is a campus romance drama, a melodrama (which can be roughly understood as a romantic drama). The threshold for me to act is much lower, and it suits me well."

Quan Xuanhe couldn't tell him directly that he had a trick and asked him to listen to him, so he could only try to approach it from a different angle.

"I can't afford to waste time now. I'm going to star in a drama while I still have some popularity and make the transition."

"The competition is weak, the threshold for acting is low, the ranking is high, and the foundation is not bad. It is one of the three major Taiwanese dramas."

"Besides, I'm not just auditioning for this one. I'll go for every role I'm supposed to."

Park Jung-jung saw that he didn't choose this drama out of impulse because of his fame, but had his own thoughts, and his frown gradually relaxed.

It's just an audition, it doesn't mean you have already won the role. It's just a decision to make.

Thinking of this, Park Jung-ting didn't say anything else.

"Think about it for a while. You're still a complete newbie, and there are more important things to focus on right now."

Seeing that he did not express any objection and respected his opinion, Quan Xuanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Park Jung-ting is a senior figure, and his words carry more weight than his.

So what are the areas that need more attention?
"The rankings of Produce 101 have become increasingly controversial since its release, with more and more people online questioning the issue."

"TV stations and several major companies are putting pressure on it, but it's hard to say whether the controversy can be suppressed."

Because Kwon Hyun Hyuk and several contestants with high debut hopes were not selected for the debut list, the uproar on the Internet has actually become very big and is even getting more intense.

Among them, the controversy surrounding Quan Xuanhe is the most prominent.

He can be said to be one of the people with the greatest hope of debuting, but who would have thought that in the end he would end up competing for the last debut spot. His personal fans are currently making a big fuss online.

Naver's hot searches, Pann's hot posts, and discussion videos on YouTube all have very high click frequencies, and controversies are endless.

In fact, Kwon Hyun-hyuk knew from Park Jung-jung long before his debut that he had no hope of debuting and was kicked out due to the exchange of interests.

The main reason is that Kwon Hyun Hyuk entered the program using a shell company and he did not join Bh Company, so he could not use the shell company's name.

Even though Park Jung-jung has connections and abilities, he is unable to stand alone under the siege of many companies and the complicity of TV stations.

"The more violent the commotion, the better. It's satisfying only when everyone knows about it."

You ask whether Quan Xuanhe hates it or not. That is inevitable. No one can tolerate this. Now we can only hope that the power of the broad masses of people will smash this dark curtain.

Park Jung-jung didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement. In fact, after knowing that Quan Xuanhe's debut prospects were slim, he took the initiative to negotiate with the TV station and the program's producers, and temporarily reached a verbal agreement.

He voluntarily gave up the slim chance of debuting in exchange for some resources.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Go back and prepare for tomorrow's classes. Then there's the next series of auditions."

Before he got off the car, Park Jung-jung reminded him, "Remember to think about it more specifically when the time comes."

"understood."

Apart from anything else, his uncle was very dedicated to him and made all the arrangements in place.

From the time he came to Korea until now, he didn't have to worry about anything and everything was arranged properly.

Just as I thought of this, I received various information about the afternoon acting class from Park Jung-jung on my phone.

Quan Xuanhe smiled, put away his phone and strode back home.

His family was relatively well-off, and his daily expenses were enough for him to spend lavishly.

The community where I live is a mid-range one, and it's far from being so crowded that people have to squeeze into a single room.

The house covers an area of ​​more than 30 ping, which is just over 100 square meters. Don’t think it is small, as this is the pure living area without any public areas.

Another little-known fact is that interior partition walls in Korean houses are mostly made of gypsum boards, and because of the geographical location, the walls are not very thick, which allows for a lot of extra space.

It even feels a bit empty living alone.

Kwon Hyun Hyuk made some friends when he came to Korea, but he didn't make many on the talent show.

The 360-degree, no-blind-angle camera in the show makes the relationships between people seem full of hypocrisy. At the same time, his personalities don't get along well with those of this group of trainees, and they are just casual acquaintances.

As mentioned before, because of his family's work, although he was born in the United States and has American citizenship, he came to China with his family for work reasons.

So he attended international schools in Shanghai during his junior high and high school years, until he applied to one of the Ivy League schools and returned to the United States to attend college.

I can speak Chinese and English fluently. Because I went to school in China during the period when the three important views in life were formed, my personality is different from that of traditional Koreans, and my thinking and cognition are broader.

Because of his nationality, he does not have to serve in the military, which is an advantage.

Korean Wave is widely spread in Asia, so he didn't mention his participation in the show, but in fact most people around him know that he is now in the Korean entertainment industry.

Because the room was too quiet, Quan Xuanhe turned on the TV. A rerun program was playing on the TV, and a pleasant melody came from the middle.

"Fancy You..."

Quan Xuanhe casually turned his head and watched the girl group dancing on the TV screen, and couldn't help nodding.

"The center looks too much like a rabbit, no."

Of course he knew Twice, the most popular and famous girl group in South Korea, and the one he was looking at was Lim Nayeon, who was at the center.

But it wasn't quite to his liking.

When it came to the next part of the chorus, Quan Xuanhe's eyes lit up again and again.

"This one looks good, and that one looks good too."

Zhou Ziyu's delicate face appeared on the screen, and Quan Xuanhe was amazed.

“This one is still the best looking.”

Quan Xuanhe was here to recruit his troops and generals.

Now is fantasy time!
He never deliberately hides his desires. He is in the entertainment industry for fame and fortune, and stars and idols with dazzling feminine charm are naturally included in it.

Who doesn’t want to have a jaw-dropping, heart-wrenching love affair with a female star?
