Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 20 The legendary Saturday selection.

"Yes or no."

Jin Min-woon didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Mainly, she didn't know what kind of answer her uncle wanted.

She and Mingyan had just become a little familiar with each other, and she didn't want to lose the impression points she had worked so hard to accumulate in front of her uncle.

"So is it, or isn't it?" Ming Yan was almost amused by his niece's reaction. The little girl looked really cute as she tried hard to think.

Jin Min-woong gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I'm not a CP fan."

Although… she actually felt that Myung Eun and Kim Ji Won were a good match, especially in the drama.

"Is that so?" Ming Yan nodded, feeling somewhat ashamed of his arguing with his niece. "Min Yan, what did you learn today?"

"Nayeon unnie taught me a lot, as did Momo unnie."

Jin Min-woon didn't know why his uncle suddenly asked the previous question, but it seemed that he had passed.

The little girl chattered with Mingyan about what she had gained today, especially the shock she felt when she saw Twice dancing in front of her, which further strengthened her determination to become a trainee.

I also want to be a cool woman like the Twice sisters.

Kim Ji-soo: Did I miss something?
Ming Yan felt that this move was indeed correct: "Okay, wait a few days, I will take you to participate in SM's Saturday audition, do you have the confidence?"

"No."

"..."

This kid is really honest. He interrupted Mingyan before he even finished speaking.

Come to think of it, Jin Minyan has only been here from Liangshan for a few days and still speaks with an accent, so it's normal for him to feel unsure.

Even for those idols who have already debuted, the interview process may not be smooth sailing. For example, Yu Jeongyeon failed the JYP exam on her first try.

What's more, SM's Saturday auditions are notoriously difficult.

For example, idols who are currently known to have entered the company through Saturday's audition include SJ's Kim Heechul, SHINee's Lee Taemin, and Red Velvet's Kang Seulgi.

One relies on his looks, and the other two are absolutely talented.

"Minwan, your uncle will always support you from behind."

"Uncle, you should bring Jisoo and Nayeon along to support us. Maybe I can borrow some luck."

Mingyan was stunned for a moment.

Was this little guy just joking with me?
There is progress.

……

Mingyan left early in the morning.

Although he values ​​his niece very much, he cannot stay at home every day and has to go out to make money.

To some extent, actors are freelancers. They have a lot of free time when they are resting, but they have to work around the clock when they are busy.

"Brother Yuanlong, after signing this advertising contract, are there any other schedules that have come to you?"

Mingyan unbuttoned his sleeves and leaned back in the seat of the nanny car.

The driver was Zheng Yuanlong, a fat man in his early thirties. He was the first agent of Kim Eun-sook's company. After all, there was only one artist in the entire company who needed service.

"'Knowing Bros' wanted to invite you as a guest for an episode. They were planning to do a special episode on 'Descendants of the Sun.'" Zheng Yuanlong said while driving, "but I declined."

Ming Yan smiled and said, "I guess you won't even go to the protagonist's side."

Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo are the ones who benefited the most, but that guy's background is also extraordinary, and I can't compare with him for the time being.

"Yes, but there is another important reason."

"what?"

"Kim Ji-won's side declined the invitation, so it's better for us not to attend." Ming Yan sighed and shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking. "Brother Yuanlong, the teacher said there's a new script. Did you receive it?"

"Not yet. That means there's no explanation from the representative."

"Oh, don't worry, wait and see what the teacher means."

Mingyan's schedule has been very full since his debut. He filmed "The Heirs" in 13, "It's Okay, That's Love" in 14, and "Descendants of the Sun" in 15. Before he could catch his breath, he was asked by Kim Eun-sook to make a guest appearance in "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God".

There are many popular dramas, but most of them are supporting roles.

Playing the second male lead in "Descendants of the Sun" is already a huge leap. If it weren't for Kim Eun-sook's support, he really wouldn't have gotten this good opportunity.

Ming Yan has now completed the initial accumulation of popularity. He has played the second male lead, the third male lead, and the fourth male lead. His resume is pretty solid. What he needs to think about next is when to play the male lead.

You have to take this step steadily.

Not everyone can come across a hit drama, but you absolutely cannot mess it up, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the reputation of being a ratings poison.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

"Next time we should try our best to get the male lead role, or a supporting role in a big production." Zheng Yuanlong's idea was similar to Ming Yan's.

Mingyan nodded. Once one’s status becomes higher, one cannot lower one’s own value for no reason. This is an unspoken rule in the circle.

Unless, there is nothing to eat.

"Let's finish the advertising first." Ming Yan thought for a moment and said, "We can't rush filming. Actors don't win by quantity."

"By the way, there's a magazine that invited you to be on the cover. What do you want to say?"

"Send me the information first."

"it is good."

……

Jin Min-woon was a little nervous.

She was secretly practicing dance steps that might be used in the interview in her room. Fortunately, the room was well soundproofed, otherwise it would be so embarrassing if her uncle found out.

The little guy was thinking about the teachings of Lim Nayeon and Hirai Momo.

The two sisters’ words summed up similarly, which is to express their love for the stage.

The selection of trainees is not based on their completion, but on their potential, or even some characteristics that distinguish them from others.

Kim Heechul sang the national anthem during the interview.

“Will I really succeed?”

Jin Min-woon looked at himself in the mirror and muttered to himself.

She inexplicably thought of the inquiring look Mingyan gave her before they came to Seoul.

Yes, my uncle also chose to go to an art high school under a lot of pressure, and finally became a popular actor today. Since he can do it, I can do it too!
This is the path she chose.

I can’t let my mother down, I can’t let my uncle down!

Mingyan: If you insist on understanding it this way...it's not impossible.

Kim Min-woon waved his little fist in front of the mirror and said, "Come on!"
The little girl lay back on the bed that she had gradually become familiar with, took out her cell phone and opened the chat history with Kim Ji-soo. She had been sending messages to her "uncle's good brother" a lot in the past few days.

The idol’s personal contact information is so rare that no one can get it even if they want it.

She always felt that Kim Ji-soo's Kakao profile picture and Mingyan's were a couple's profile pictures, but when she thought about how the two of them interacted that day, she smiled and shook her head.

Even little couples wouldn't do that.

"Jisu-unnie, does the method you mentioned last time about telling jokes to the judges really work?"

　Happy New Year everyone.
