Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 38 Preparation for training.

[Myeong-eun and Kim Ji-won are about to team up again?! ]

[Director Kim Na-jung: Seo Dae-young and Yoon Myung-joo are my favorite TV characters, and I've invited them to play roles in the new script.]

[The new drama is called "Fight for My Way" and Kim Ji-won's agency said they are considering it.]

After Mingyan officially signed the contract, the TV series-related preheating and marketing methods began to be used one after another.

Even if the TV series may not be released for half a year or even longer, setting an expectation in the minds of the audience will make the formal promotion period more effective.

His company also receives calls from the media, but Zheng Yuanlong handles them all, so the artists don't need to worry about it themselves.

This thing has a mature processing process.

First, he said that he had indeed received the script, then he said that he was considering it, and finally he admitted to starring in the role. At least three press releases were issued for one thing. It sounds like he was just repeating the same old stuff, but in fact, the most important thing is to grab the attention.

"Kwang Soo, do you have any Taekwondo training places you can recommend to me?"

Mingyan called Lee Kwang Soo.

In his circle, this guy is the type who loves fitness. Don’t be fooled by his thin and tall appearance, but once he takes off his clothes, he will see muscles everywhere.

In real life, Lee Kwang-soo is not the weakling image he appears in variety shows; he just does it for the show's effect.

Of course, there is still a big gap between Lee Kwang Soo and Kim Jong Kook.

"Taekwondo, do you want to practice this?" Lee Kwang-soo thought that his younger brother was bored during his unemployment period, so he wanted to find some new sports to play. Many artists do this.

Football, golf, bowling... various sports have also spawned circles of all sizes.

Exercise is also a form of social interaction.

Ming Yan smiled and explained, "I've accepted a new role and need to learn some Taekwondo."

"Have you taken on a new role?"

Lee Kwang-soo is really a little envious and jealous. This guy has really good resources.

"Well, you can find out by searching the news. Actually, I don't really want to take the call." Ming Yan was acting like a shrewd boy, as Lee Kwang Soo's emotions were already on point, and it would be unreasonable for him not to take the call.

"You don't want to perform for me, I don't mind."

Mingyan thought for a moment and said, "Kwang Soo, don't you have a TV series coming out soon? What's the name of it?"

Every time the brothers get together, they will update each other on their recent situation and talk about the resources they have. Mingyan even took the script and asked his brothers how to perform it.

Those are all seniors, it would be a waste not to use them.

"The Sound of Your Heart" is a comedy.

Lee Kwang-soo actually doesn't like to always act in comedies. While he gained huge popularity from starring in "Running Man", his acting range was also severely restricted.

However, actors sometimes don’t have the right to be picky. If they want to realize their dreams... they have to survive first.

Survival is not just about eating, but about having roles to play. After all, opportunities don’t just fall from the sky.

"Oh, I remember now, you were partnered with Jung So Min-sun."

"You just remember the actress."

……

Lee Kwang-soo introduced Mingyan to a Taekwondo gym.

According to Jin Najing, "Fight for My Way" may start filming at the end of the year.

It was mid-October, and there was still more than a month left. He had to race against time to familiarize himself with everything about the role. Mastering Taekwondo was impossible in such a short time, but it was still possible to develop some decent skills for filming.

Ming Yan has been exercising all the time. On the one hand, it is to maintain his figure. After all, image is very important for an actor. On the other hand, it is also to pick up girls. Girls like attractive men.

What's more, strengthening your core strength can help you last longer.

"Hello, Director Park."

Mingyan greeted the director of the Taekwondo gym.

"Hello, Mingyanxi, what level of study do you want to achieve?" Director Park is a professional teacher and has seen many people like Mingyan who have short-term needs.

As long as the money is in place, nothing is a problem.

"Director Park, you know I'm an actor." Ming Yan said without further ado: "The role in the new drama that will be filmed soon is that of a national Taekwondo athlete, so..."

"Then I understand. You just have to fight beautifully."

"That's pretty much what it means."

Mingyan studied the script carefully and even wrote a character biography for Gao Dongwan. He had already constructed images of certain scenes in his mind.

When filming, the most important thing is the final shooting effect.

"Okay, then I'll find a teacher to teach you some basic knowledge and movements, and then design the movements. What do you think?" Director Park quickly organized his thoughts.

Mingyan likes high efficiency: "No problem."

He hunched his shoulders as he strolled around the Taekwondo gym. This gym was quite famous in Seoul and had many students. His ears were filled with the sounds of breathing.

"Hey, wait, you're not from that day..." Unexpectedly, Ming Yan actually found an acquaintance.

The fan I met at SM that day - Quail Egg.

"You are... Ming Yanxi?"

[Quail Egg] was also startled. The little girl seemed to have not expected to meet Ming Yan again.

Although Seoul is small and there are many artists, the probability of running into the same person in different places is still very low.

If Mingyan wasn't an artist, [Quail Egg] would have almost thought he had run into some pervert who liked to stalk him.

She is not an unknown person. She has quite a few fans on Instagram and is at least a moderately famous internet celebrity.

Mingyan thought this [quail egg] was quite cute and jumped up and down: "Yeah, are you learning Taekwondo here?"

"I started learning Taekwondo since I was a child." [Quail Egg] raised her little face slightly. She was still very confident in her professional field.

"Is that so? That's impressive." Ming Yan gave a thumbs up: "What were you doing at SM that day..."

"I'm a trainee at SM Entertainment."

[Quail Egg] is a special recruit, recruited by scouts through private messages on Instagram, and does not even need to be interviewed like other people.

"Mr. Ming, do you two know each other?" When Director Park came back, he saw the two people having a great conversation.

Ming Yan nodded: "Ah, I guess we know each other."

"That's perfect, Mr. Ming. Zhimin is a very outstanding student in our Taekwondo gym. Don't be fooled by her young age, she's already a black belt. She will definitely have no problem teaching her some basic moves."

Mingyan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that [Quail Egg] was actually a black belt in Taekwondo. That meant he was more than qualified to be his teacher.

There is no order of learning; the wisest one is the teacher.
