Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 541 That's great!

“You made the right choice back then. Now the controversy surrounding snowdrops is getting more and more serious. Changing projects was not a mistake. Your thinking at the time was correct.”

The agent has clearly noticed the online controversy surrounding "Snowdrop," and the debate is quite heated. It's impossible to turn things around now; public opinion has deteriorated to such an extent that nobody cares about what happens next.

“Ani, you were also trying to persuade me back then, so you deserve credit for this as well.”

Upon hearing this, Kim Jisoo's eyes flashed with emotion and contemplation. The more she saw these things, the more she felt that she had done the right thing.

She couldn't imagine what a disastrous start it would have been if she had starred in "Snowdrop".

Let alone Meimei going solo and transitioning into an actress, she'll probably have to stick with being an idol for a while longer.

The original Kim Jisoo was indeed like that. After Snowdrop, it took her almost three years to have a new work. Her resources were also thanks to the fact that her idol popularity did not drop too much and she maintained a relatively good position.

However, the blame for poor acting is firmly placed on it, and in the battle between fan groups, "Snowdrop" is always a point that rivals can use to attack it at any time.

Of course, the most criticized aspect of Kim Jisoo is herself; she's truly hopeless when it comes to dancing and singing.

The manager glanced at her and said, "Actually, it's all thanks to Kwon Seonhyuk finding you back then, otherwise..."

Otherwise, she would be the one who fell down now, which is really painful.

It's like indirectly giving her a boost in her career, saving her from a potential collapse at the start.

To be honest, it was hard for her not to have complicated emotions, including gratitude towards Quan Xuanhe and lingering fear towards Xue Dihua.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk may not have to say anything, but she has to express herself.

"You can try to communicate with him and express some of your thoughts."

The agent gave her instructions tactfully.

"I know."

Kim Jisoo nodded, pondered for a moment, and said with some confusion, "How should I communicate with him? I can't just call him and say all this, can I? It feels like I'm inexplicably clinging to him."

"It's okay, no matter what, as long as you get the message across."

"He should be in a break right now, not having officially started his next project yet, so time isn't too tight."

"There are still quite a few calls online for the two of you to team up again."

The agent brought it up casually.

That's true.

Jisoo Kim's speech at the AAA Awards was actually quite ambiguous, no different from publicly displaying affection.

Just two months after the rumors of their relationship during Paris Fashion Week were clarified, they came up with a new move at the end of the year, openly saying something meaningful on the stage of a formal awards ceremony.

Now, if you say there's really nothing going on, that there's really nothing fishy going on, it'll be hard for everyone to believe you.

In everyone's eyes, this is the same as a secret relationship that everyone knows about, but they stubbornly refuse to admit it publicly.

Jisoo's solo fans are still frantically clarifying and finding all sorts of so-called detailed evidence, but under repeated attacks, they seem rather powerless and pale in the eyes of casual observers.

These two must have some kind of relationship, right?

This is the public's true opinion.

This idea wouldn't have been possible without the guidance of CP fans. The large number of CP fans played a crucial role, so there will definitely be a lot of enthusiasm for pairing the two together again.

The key question now is, is there any possibility of a second draft?

Yes, brother, yes.

Many scripts were submitted to both of them at the same time, but for well-known reasons, Kwon Heonhyuk will definitely be busy again next year, and it will be difficult for him to start a project on his own.

It's possible to open a show, but I'll have to juggle multiple projects at the same time.

Therefore, the key to whether they can team up again lies with Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

However, Kim Ji-soo just saw a photo of him with Kim Yoo-jung and other actors from the new project online yesterday.

In the photo, Kim Yoo-jung smiles sweetly and tilts her head slightly to the side, a sight that has drawn attention from many.

Objectively speaking, without personal bias, he would look good standing there with anyone.

Kim Yoo-jung is naturally approachable and charismatic; she looks sweet and lovely standing there, and she wouldn't look bad standing next to anyone.

The news of the project's launch is generating quite a bit of buzz, so maybe she's already bought some press releases and promoted the couple. Who knows, she might ride on Quan Xuanhe's coattails to become a hot topic.

Now that Kwon Heon-hyuk is such a hot commodity, who wouldn't want a piece of his pie?

Kim Jisoo is shrewd and calculating. Although she may seem a bit eccentric on the surface, she's not stupid; she thinks a lot.

"Is this your eye for talent? It's really impressive."

After thinking for a while, Kim Jisoo felt it was a bit troublesome, so she simply sent him a message directly and also sent him a screenshot of the controversial comments online.

Quan Xuanhe hadn't had time to reply to her message yet; he was currently in another meeting.

Seeing that Quan Xuanhe hadn't replied to the message for a long time, and that it was still unread, without any movement, she was disappointed.

After waiting for a while, Kim Jisoo became a little annoyed and stopped sending messages, assuming he was busy with something.

Night Owl

This project was personally snatched from Cjes by the company president, Sun Xiyu. To show his respect for Kwon Hyunhyuk, BH will fully fund its production, placing it second only to "Concrete Utopia" in importance.

Next year will be the last year of Kwon Hyun-hyuk's three-year contract. Now is the time for BH to perform well and try to get him to renew his contract. So it is only right to pay more attention to him in all aspects.

The scale of this meeting was clearly higher than that of "20th Century Girl," and the entire production team was a complete upgrade.

Producers Bai Yanzi, Li Zhouxian, and Li Kangzhen were responsible for project coordination, funding coordination, and on-site execution, respectively. Fang Xiuyin and Xuan Kuili participated in scriptwriting, balancing the historical background and political intrigue.

The production team is quite solid, and they are prepared to meticulously craft this work.

Because it was entirely produced by BH, Kwon Heonhyuk took the opportunity to also be listed as a producer. However, compared to his role in "20th Century Girl," where he had some real influence, this project was of a much higher level, so he shouldn't expect too much in terms of influence.

"In short, I hope everyone can cooperate with each other and work hard for this project to achieve good results. If you have any questions, please raise them in time, and we will discuss and resolve them on the spot during the meeting."

Director Ahn Tae-jin sat in the main seat of the conference room and looked around at everyone.

Ahn Tae-jin is the core creator of "Night Owl," serving as both director and co-writer.

He previously served as assistant director on films such as The King and the Clown (2005) and The Two Men on the Street (2001), accumulating nearly 20 years of industry experience.

"Night Owl" was his first serious directorial work.

This upward trajectory is the same as that of most directors in Chungmuro: they gradually made their way up and then were able to direct films on their own.

Interestingly enough, apart from "The Decision to Break Up," all the other films Kwon Heon-hyuk has worked on have been directed by new directors.

This gives a glimpse into the ecosystem of the South Korean film industry.

For a newcomer to a film to become the lead, they will most likely have to work with a new director, since they are both newcomers.

Experienced and seasoned directors continue to walk alongside the leading actors of Chungmuro.

"no problem."

Seeing that no one was speaking, Quan Xuanhe took the initiative to speak up.

An Tae-jin turned to look at him, a slight smile on his face, and nodded.

Being able to collaborate with Chungmuro's Rookie King is certainly a win for him. Kwon Heonhyuk's most resounding reputation in the industry is his "golden touch"—this halo is there for him, and without him even having to do anything, many doubts and obstacles have vanished without him even realizing it.

"If there are no further questions, shall we adjourn today's meeting?"

An Tai Town asked this question.

"If there are no problems, then we can end here."

The people in the meeting room nodded and then began to disperse.

Amidst the slightly noisy sounds, Kwon Hyun-hyuk took the initiative to approach Ahn Tae-jin.

"Director, I'm sorry."

It's certain that he's filming these two dramas simultaneously. He's definitely in control of his roles and performance level, but he's worried that the demanding director might have too many opinions about him, so he's still saying this.

"It's alright. Xuanhe's acting skills are trustworthy, and I don't believe it will interfere with filming."

An Taizhen smiled slightly, still managing to say all the right things.

"Don't worry, it definitely won't delay filming. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the heart to hold everyone back."

His acting skills have always been solid. With so many roles to hone his craft, he can deliver a flawless performance even without any special advantages.

"That's actually good. The main concern with filming multiple projects at once is that you might not be able to take care of both at the same time, and end up not filming either project well."

An Tae-jin still trusts him; he didn't win those rookie awards for nothing, and he still has the ability to persuade people.

They exchanged a few pleasantries as they walked, but Quan Xuanhe didn't bring up the idea of ​​having a meal together because he had other plans, so they left it at that.

It wasn't until he got back into the van that Kwon Heonhyuk took out his phone and saw the message Kim Jisoo had sent him.

He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Kim Jisoo had taken the initiative to message him.

After all, although she had resolved her issues, it didn't mean that their relationship had immediately returned to its best state.

"This shows that everything is preordained, and you made the right choice to follow me."

They've really started bragging about themselves.

Despite thinking this, Kim Jisoo smiled and tapped her fingers on the screen.

"Wow, you're really amazing!"

"Hmm, you've gotten a little bit better. Now you're working hard to get even better and keep up with me."

What he said was exaggerated, almost like he was joking.

Kim Jisoo burst out laughing, a slightly silly laugh that contrasted sharply with her delicate appearance. "...I give up."

"Don't you feel anything when you see this?"

"I feel that's not enough; it would be better if it were completely wiped out?"

"Eh?"

Kim Ji-soo thought he was referring to Snowdrop, but after thinking about it, she wondered what could make him so ruthless towards Snowdrop. Could it be just because of his efforts to get her to star in "Goddess Arrives"?

Isn't it?

Kim Jisoo looked a little confused, blinking her clear eyes, "Why?"

"Because that male lead tried to harm me before..."

"Ah... Jung Hae-in?"

She vaguely remembered that the two of them were competing for the drama DP, and in the end, Kwon Heon-hyuk was the better one and defeated Jung Hae-in.

Why would he want to harm you?

"Because he surrounded me at the airport."

"???"

And this thing?

Kim Jisoo was completely unaware of the situation, so she was extremely surprised when she saw his message, and her emotions were palpable.

Even Zhao Meiyan, Zhao Meiyan's official girlfriend, was unaware of the situation at the time, let alone the others.

"what's going on?"

"That's right, he took advantage of my misfortune at the airport to get revenge on me."

"Some of the media present at the time were bought by them."

The news caught her eye and stunned Kim Jisoo, then her brain began to race.

She still finds it hard to imagine that Jung Hae-in, who looks kind and has a warm, sunny smile, is this kind of person.

She almost collaborated with him back then!
Thinking of this, Kim Jisoo pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.

They've become completely entangled, with a mess of causes and effects, and too many things involved.

"Then why don't you take this opportunity to stomp on him hard and vent your anger?"

Kim Jisoo, of course, undoubtedly stood by his side. After putting aside past grievances,

"It's already being stepped on."

Upon seeing this message, Kim Jisoo found it somewhat humorous and couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Then you're great."

She replied with a rather humorous remark.

Chatting with Kwon Heon-hyuk still makes her happy.

The chat ended there, as Kwon Heonhyuk was about to reach his destination and meet people he hadn't seen in a long time.

Before getting out of the car, Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked at himself in the mirror and smoothed his hair back. It was a little messy, but it didn't matter much because it looked like he had styled his hair and was still handsomely messy.

After putting on a mask, Kwon Heonhyuk immediately got out of the car and entered the restaurant with his head down.

The lights were dim, and I walked on the marble floor, following behind the waiter, until I arrived at a door.

The waiter stepped aside, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk knocked on the door before pushing it open and going inside.

Sana Minatozaki, who was idly waiting for Kwon Hyun-hyuk to arrive, immediately looked up when she heard the noise, and a bright smile immediately spread across her face.

Her long, flowing hair, paired with black-rimmed glasses, exudes an intellectual charm. Her exquisite makeup focuses on a clear base and natural lip color, while her delicate eye makeup lines accentuate her naturally expressive eyes.

A dark gray loose-fitting knit top paired with light blue slim-fit jeans exudes a casual beauty in its simplicity, while the loose knit top cleverly reveals her own beautiful curves.

The lotus buds are just beginning to emerge, but Sana Minatozaki certainly has the looks and talent.

Sana Minatozaki sat relaxed in front of a black round table, her hands supporting her chin. Her slightly curled hair and flowing top complemented each other, creating a gentle atmosphere against the backdrop of gray wooden floors and beige background.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

She tilted her head slightly up to look at Quan Xuanhe as he walked in, gazing at him with a smile.
