Peninsula Entertainment started from Reply 1988

Chapter 156 Policy Impact

Time flies, and it is the end of August in a blink of an eye.

At this point, the filming progress of "Bhunga" has reached 70%, and most of the subsequent filming will be based on flashback segments.

If nothing unexpected happens, we can wrap up the filming in another month and a half.

The filming was going smoothly for Jin Qixuan, but at the end of August, many things happened related to him.

All the Peninsula artists who are developing in China have constantly changing performance plans in the mainland, including advertising endorsements, drama role changes, program screen editing, mosaic processing, etc.

Among them, the local artists who co-starred with them were very upset about this matter.
For example, T-ara, which failed to make it in the Korean Peninsula after the troll incident, is now flourishing in China and is known as the number one girl group in China;

For example, Rain, the Asian dance king, chose to develop in China because his new album after returning from military service received a mediocre response due to the rapid replacement of his generation;

Another example is Lee Ji-eun, who has reached a certain threshold of fame in Peninsula and is planning to expand into the Chinese market and go global;

There is also Song Zhongji, who won the title of "National Husband" for his hit drama "Descendants of the Sun" in China, and his salary for acting in Chinese dramas is as high as 100 million RMB; etc.
These are the best group of Peninsula artists currently developing in China, and the applications of idol groups to perform in China are not approved at all.

In fact, this restriction also had a certain impact on Jin Qixuan. The only two dramas he starred in, "Reply 1988" and "Producer", were instantly removed from iQIYI.

However, GM Glasses has reserved certain opportunities for Jin Qixuan to show up in China.

After all, this is a brand owned by Peninsula, so there is no such thing as changing the spokesperson.

In fact, this restriction only blocks the culture and tourism of the peninsula, but does not stop import and export trade and commercial exchanges.

For example, although Samsung mobile phones, Hyundai cars, LG LCD TVs, etc. have been affected to a certain extent, their sales are still very high.

Speaking of which, Lee Ji-eun is quite lucky.

Just a few days before the policy was implemented, the last China Tour Concert was completed in Pengcheng, and the brand spokesperson in China was not changed.

As the saying goes, every policy from the top has a countermeasure from the bottom.

In order to avoid losses, the CEO of Handu Yishe decided to change Li Zhien's spokesperson position to fashion director.

Of course, this is only a superficial change of identity. In fact, she is still active as a spokesperson.

If Lee Ji-eun is allowed to be the fashion director of Handu Yishe at this stage, then Handu Yishe's position as the top brand of TB women's clothing will be in jeopardy.
Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned artists, Kim Jong Kook’s development in China is also restricted due to this restriction.

Speaking of which, Kim Jong Kook's development in China in the past year has been very good.

Thanks to the recognition of his musical ability by the Milk Tea Lun + JJ small circle, as well as RM's influence in China, he has been featured in many advertisements and TV shows.

In addition, Fang Wenshan + JJ created an exclusive Jin-style Chinese love song for her - "Hate Happiness Has Come", which received good response after its release.

In general, his income from one year in China is more than his income from three years in Peninsula combined (excluding investments, only income from performing arts).

The biggest impact of this restriction on Kim Ki-hyeon is the management system of Kim Jong-kook who suddenly became idle.

In the past, Kim Jong Kook was traveling between China and the Peninsula, and because family gatherings always urged him to get married, he didn't like to go home, while Kim Ki-Hyun was busy with school and filming.

So apart from phone calls and video calls, the frequency of meetings between uncle Jin and nephew is basically measured in months.

And now, because of their frequent meetings, the perceptive Kim Jong Kook naturally discovered clues about Kim Ki-hyun's emotional state.

Normally speaking, if a couple does not contact each other for three months, it is considered a breakup.

In the past, Jin Qixuan would send her messages from time to time to ask about her well-being, but after receiving no response, he gradually became cold.

However, just three days ago, Jin Yarong finally called Jin Qixuan to officially break up with him.

"In fact, I have thought about this decision for a long time. I have enjoyed the time I have spent with you. Even now, when I think back on it, it is full of sweetness. Thank you very much for giving me this sweet time..." Jin Qixuan interrupted her:
"I understand. You don't need to say more. I wish you a prosperous future in your career."

"Thank you... That's it, bye... Toot toot..."

There was no noise or crying during the whole process, just calmness and clarity.

Although he had already predicted the result, this was Jin Qixuan's first love after all, so he would be a little emo when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

And this emotion will naturally extend to life outside of work.
For example, loss of appetite, lack of energy for fitness, absent-mindedness about everything, sitting in a daze when doing nothing, etc.

At first, when Kim Jong Kook saw Kim Ki-hyun's condition, he just suspected that Kim Ki-hyun had secretly tasted the bitterness of love.

What made Kim Jong Kook really sure of this was that when Kim Ki-Hyun wanted to throw away items that reminded him of Kim Ah-Young and contained memories of Kim Jong Kook, he was stopped by Kim Jong Kook's thrifty skills.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you throwing away such a good thing?"

As he was talking, Kim Jong Kook found a pair of black silk stockings from Balenciaga in the storage box that Kim Ki Hyun had sorted out to throw away.
When Jin Qixuan saw Kim Jong Kook holding up the black stockings and looking at him with a weird look, he felt sick all over.

"This...isn't it yours?"

"of course not!"

Jin Qixuan hurriedly explained.

"So, you were secretly in a relationship? And then you broke up?"

Jin Qixuan didn't reply, which was considered as his agreement.

"Is it the girl who played your lover?"

Couple? Ah... he is talking about Liu Huiying, she is not small!

"Isn't it? Lee Hye-ri? It doesn't look like..."

Having said that, Kim Jong Kook shook his head and denied it himself.

Then, he stared into Jin Qixuan's eyes and asked, "IU?"

Kim Jong Kook only guessed the women that Kim Ki Hyun had contact with at the moment, but in fact, the information he had was from half a year ago...

"No."

"Your eyes flickered just now, could it really be IU?"

Jin Qixuan pursed his lips and shook his head:
"It's really not true."

"Oh, I told you, no one can fancy you."

Jin Qixuan:?

"Uncle! What am I lacking? I have height, good looks, education, and you."

"emm..."

Kim Jong Kook pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then joked:
"What you said does make sense, but... why are you so excited all of a sudden?"

"Because I think I'm worthy of even the Queen on whom the Sun Never Sets."

Kim Jong Kook: “…”
