Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 49 Lee Sung-kyung

After arranging the stage, the next step is to join the crew of the new play.

Romantic Doctor Kim is a key project of SBS at the beginning of next year, so the salary standards arranged are quite top-notch.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk felt it when he entered the meeting room of the production department of SBS TV station.

The decoration is simple and high-end, with large floor-to-ceiling round windows full of design sense.

As a newbie in the crew, he certainly couldn't miss these details, so he arrived here early.

There weren't many people in the meeting room when he arrived, so when the director, screenwriter, etc. arrived, he immediately stood up and politely greeted them. His attitude was spot on and no one could find fault with him.

"Xuan He is here so early."

Screenwriter Jiang Yinqing is a mature screenwriter. Having been in the industry for many years, he naturally knows how to judge the situation, so his attitude is relatively warm when facing him.

Seeing that Quan Xuanhe arrived at the scene early and was respectful, and did not get angry just because of the resources, he was quite impressed.

“Newcomers need to learn more.”

He replied modestly, and took out a bouquet from behind his back and gave it to the female screenwriter in front of him.

He is serious about mixing in the circle and has to master the ways of the world.

"Hey Gu, Xuanhe is thoughtful."

Jiang Yinqing had a kind smile on his face, and he seemed to enjoy the smile.

This is Quan Xuanhe's way of returning the favor and showing his sincerity.

After the screenwriter, a group of people arrived one after another.

"Good director."

Seeing director Liu Renzhi coming again, Quan Xuanhe repeated his previous actions.

He had just exchanged a few words with the director when someone else came outside the meeting room.

"Ani Asaiyo."

Quan Xuanhe turned his head and saw a tall girl. At first glance, it was the second female lead Lee Sung Kyung who was acting with him this time.

This person belongs to the actor department of YG company and is a third-tier star in the current entertainment industry. She originally started out as a model.

Her representative work is Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, which did not receive a warm response in Korea, but received quite good responses overseas. She is also famous for her beautiful appearance but her acting skills are mediocre.

So she is a Korean actress, more popular overseas than in Korea, with good advertising endorsements, started her career in idol dramas, and is currently still famous for her beauty, and is not ranked among the 90s flowers.

Of course, if you see it in real life, the most eye-catching thing is her pair of long legs, which are straight and long, with excellent proportions. I can only say that she is worthy of being a model.

Lee Sung-kyung is 1.75 meters tall, which is rare among actresses.

"Hello, I'm Quan Xuanhe."

He smiled and greeted Lee Sung Kyung.

"I'm Lee Sung-kyung."

With unique brown eyes, plump lips, a slender figure and a baby face, she possesses both Western and Eastern charm.

She naturally knew about their collaboration in advance, and her current understanding of him was that he was a rising star with strong background and resources.

She had nothing to say about him squeezing out Ahn Hyo Seop for the position.

Because she also squeezed out others to get the role.

The gossip circulating outside was correct. She squeezed out Jeon So-ni and got the second female lead in this highly anticipated hit sequel, which was actually the first female lead.

As both of them are well-resourced, with this strong cast, she also feels that she and Quan Xuanhe are of the same kind. Of course, it is just a preliminary feeling.

The two of them greeted each other and sat down first.

Then, with the arrival of Han Suk-kyu, the series' biggest star, the entire conference room stood up and greeted him. Han Suk-kyu is a veteran actor with a rich early career, but his recent output has been limited, unlike some of the more well-known film stars.

Seeing everyone standing up to welcome him, Han Suk-kyu smiled kindly, nodded, exchanged a few words with the director and screenwriter, and then sat down.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk and Lee Sung-kyung just met him and greeted him politely.

When Kwon Hyun Hyuk saw him, he remembered what Lee Byung Hun had told him.

Han Suk-kyu is actually a complacent person, but he pretends to be humble in front of the camera.

Coincidentally, there was a camera shooting today, which would be released as a behind-the-scenes footage, so Quan Xuanhe had not had the opportunity to judge his true character with his own eyes.

The thought flashed through his mind, and after sitting down, Quan Xuanhe glanced at Li Jingjing beside him. It was rare to see the feeling of a newcomer on her face, who seemed even more nervous than himself.

"Relax, Noona."

He noticed Li Jingjing's nervousness and had some guesses in his heart. He whispered a word of comfort in the noisy conference room.

Lee Sung-kyung was surprised, and after adjusting her face, she smiled: "Do I look nervous?"

"For one thing, I feel like you're more nervous than I am."

Hearing this, Lee Sung-kyung smiled helplessly, "With such a great director, screenwriter, and actors here, of course I'd feel nervous."

Apart from the role of weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo three years ago, Lee Sung Kyung has not made any big splash since then. Despite YG's support, she has starred in movies and TV series one after another, but the response has not been as expected. If she doesn't get a life-saving boost, her career will go downhill.

This time, she got a great opportunity by starring in Romantic Doctor Kim 2. To exaggerate a little, it can be considered as her life-saving straw. She relied on this drama to rise in status and get out of the predicament.

"I'm not nervous, so don't be nervous either. It's just the two of us."

Kwon Hyun Hyuk joked and tried to lighten her mood.

"You have a really strong heart."

Seeing him so generous and cheerful, Li Jingjing couldn't help but smile.

He was right. The sequel basically retains the original lineup, except for the addition of these two people. They need more time to adapt than others.

After everyone is present, the script reading officially begins. Before it starts, the main creative staff will be introduced.

They introduced each one in turn. When it was Lee Sung Kyung's turn next to him, although she was calm when she stood up to introduce herself, Kwon Hyun Hyuk could clearly feel her caution and a hint of nervousness.

When it was Quan Xuanhe's turn, he was very calm and relaxed.

"I'm fortunate to be working with the director and screenwriter..."

"Especially Han Suk-kyu, it is a great honor to have the opportunity to work with you and learn acting from you."

Quan Xuanhe's words were flawless and he praised everything that deserved praise.

After hearing this, Han Sukyu smiled and nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with his attitude.

Li Jingcheng, who was sitting next to him, looked up at him and was impressed by his calm personality despite being a newcomer.

It also increased expectations for the two's future collaboration.

Not to mention the outside world, even she herself, from an objective point of view, did not have much confidence in the two of them playing the second male and female roles.

She is well aware of her acting skills, which are nothing outstanding and even a drag on the show.

She had also watched Quan Xuanhe's acting clips, so how should she put it...

Growing so fast, talent is no joke.

This puts a lot of pressure on her, and she is afraid that she will end up showing worse results than Quan Xuanhe.

He was new, but she wasn't.
