Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 702 The scene turned into a fan meeting, a walking top star.

Quan Xuanhe selectively ignored the barrage of comments scrolling across the screen, such as "act cute," "Please act cute!!!," "Baby is so cute," and "I want to see you act cute!!!."

"Being cute... is a bit difficult for me, friends."

He waved to the camera and leaned back slightly.

During the interaction, the number of viewers in the live stream kept increasing, from 30,000 to 50,000 to 70,000... at an astonishing speed.

The rapid increase in the number of viewers is due to the film's popularity, the AAA nomination, the long-awaited live stream, and the timing, as the late-night slot actually attracts more fans.

Quan Xuanhe also caught a glimpse of the fluctuating numbers in the upper right corner, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He cleared his throat and decided to change the subject, just in time to see a few other questions floating by.

"Ah, I saw someone asking if the new movie is scary..." He leaned forward, getting closer to the screen.

"Well... I can't say the specifics, we've signed a confidentiality agreement, but I'm sure everyone will like it once they see it."

He made a zipping motion with his mouth closed, his expression completely serious.

The comments section immediately started flooded with messages:

[Oppa, please don't spoil it! We can wait!]

[Ahhh, just hearing the description makes me both scared and excited!]

[How's Oppa's mental state while filming a horror movie? (doge)]

Oppa! What songs have you been listening to lately? Or what interesting videos have you been watching?

"I've been listening to a variety of songs lately." He thought for a moment, then remembered that he was going to collaborate with NewJeans, so he decided to mention it.

"I listen to something relaxing during breaks from filming. Funny videos... I've been mainly listening to NewJeans lately."

NewJeans? Amazing! Me too!

[They even mentioned NewJeans!!!]

The number of viewers in the live stream had already exceeded 100,000 and was still steadily increasing, with the comment density so high that it was almost impossible to see the specific comments.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was also startled by this person's anger, and his eyes widened slightly.

"More and more people are coming in. Thank you all for being here so late." He spoke sincerely, with a touch of emotion.

"Thanks to everyone, the movie is doing very well, and the new film is being shot diligently. Everyone should also remember to get some rest, especially those who are still in school. Don't stay up late watching live streams. And for those of you who are working, you probably have to go to school or work tomorrow, right?"

[I'm not listening! I'm going to stay up all night to watch my oppa!]

[Office workers say they have to go to work tomorrow, but they still want to watch this!]

[Oppa is the one! You must be exhausted from filming night scenes!]

Oppa, look at me!!!

Anyway, it was just a sudden live broadcast, and Kwon Heonhyuk broadcasted for a while, saying one sentence here and another there, for about half an hour.

Park Jung-jung pointed to his watch at the right moment, indicating that it was almost time.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk understood and said to the camera, "It seems a bit late. I'm really happy to have chatted with everyone like this today. Thank you for your support and love. I will continue to work hard to make good works to repay everyone."

He waved again, watching the comments flash by, but he couldn't actually see anything clearly.

"See you next time! Goodnight everyone, get some rest!"

Amidst a screen full of comments like "Don't go," "Goodnight Oppa," and "Fighting for the AAA Awards," the live stream went dark.

Kwon Heonhyuk's first live stream has come to an end.

Actually, it feels pretty good. I can try to do more live streams in the future, since he doesn't get much exposure. This is a good way to give back to his fans.

After the camera was completely turned off, Kwon Heonhyuk let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, looking a bit tired from the live stream.

Park Jung-jung spoke up at this moment: "The effect is very good, exceeding expectations. 200,000 live viewers."

Quan Xuanhe nodded, picked up his phone, and the screen lit up. In addition to the notification from the live streaming platform, there was also a message from Liu Zhimin.

Under the message "Oppa, I saw the live stream. Night shoots are tough, take care and get some rest, don't stay up too late... (heart emoji) (love emoji) (tears emoji)", several new messages appeared:
Liu Zhimin: My attempt to act cute failed... (mischievous expression)
Kwon Hyun-hyuk leaned back on the sofa, his finger swiping across the new message sent by Yoo Ji-min. Looking at her slightly mischievous little devil expression, he could imagine the face Yoo Ji-min made when she sent the message, all scrunched up and looking funny.

With a tap of my finger on the screen, a video call invitation was sent.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

Liu Zhimin's face appeared on the screen, with the background seemingly a dormitory room under soft lighting.

She looked like she had just removed her makeup; her clean face was slightly damp, her hair was casually tied up, and a few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, making her appear less sharp and impactful than usual, and more gentle and homely.

Liu Zhimin looked at the person on the screen. He was wearing the same dark gray hoodie he wore during the live stream, and his hair seemed a bit more voluminous. He was leaning back on the hotel sofa in a relaxed and casual posture.

However, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

"Oppa only remembered to reply to my message after his live stream ended?"

Liu Zhimin drawled out the last syllable, her eyes glancing elsewhere, her fingers unconsciously twirling a stray strand of hair, her tone carrying just the right amount of reproach.

"I posted that message during the live stream when it was at its most popular, it must have been drowned out by a sea of ​​husbands and oppas, right?"

She deliberately pronounced those two words more clearly.

It's inevitable to feel a little jealous. Although it's not jealousy over the live stream, my possessiveness is strong enough to make me feel jealous even without jealousy.

Quan Xuanhe smiled and said, "Of course I saw it. How could I not see it?"

It's just blatant lying, so what?

The two stared at each other across the screen for a few seconds. Liu Zhimin blinked, then suddenly changed the subject, asking seemingly casually, "Was the concert good?"

Quan Xuanhe raised an eyebrow, knowing that the important part was about to begin.

He remained calm and said, "Yes, the stage is pretty good, and the atmosphere is very lively."

"Oh?"

Liu Zhimin blinked, her tone becoming lighter, as if she were listening with a touch of pure curiosity.

"You must have taken a lot of great photos or videos, right? You went backstage too, you must have met a lot of friends, right?"

She didn't mention anyone's name, but the meaning was self-evident.

Quan Xuanhe looked at the light shining in her beautiful eyes and understood perfectly.

He leaned forward slightly, getting closer to the camera, with a hint of helplessness and indulgence.

"Those who were invited to go along were at least acquaintances..."

He deliberately dragged out the sound, looked into her eyes, and said slowly, "...Does Zhimin even get jealous of this?"

"Who's jealous?" Liu Zhimin immediately retorted, but a blush rose even more noticeably on her cheeks, and her voice unconsciously rose a little. Then she realized she was overreacting, so she pretended to be serious, pursed her lips, and lowered her voice.

"I was just asking casually."

She lowered her eyes, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of her phone, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly like small fans.

The feigned confidence vanished, and she looked up at the person on the screen, her voice becoming very soft and gentle, with a slight nasal tone, like a small animal grumbling.

"Oppa went to the concert without telling me, let alone the other girls."

She paused, as if feeling it wasn't enough, and then quickly added in a low voice.

"Who knows what they did?"

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do anything?"

Quan Xuanhe asked back.

"Do not believe."

Liu Zhimin shook her head vigorously, remaining wary of what Quan Xuanhe said.

Then, the next second, as if she had thought of some quirky idea or interesting thought, Liu Zhimin rolled her eyes and spoke in a clear voice.

"How about this, next time we meet, if oppa does anything, then do the same thing to me."

What is this nonsense?

Quan Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Liu Zhimin to say such a thing out of the blue.

Seeing Quan Xuanhe's stunned expression, Liu Zhimin quickly pretended that nothing had happened and that she hadn't said those words.

"Oppa...do you have to get up early to film tomorrow?"

She naturally changed the subject.

"Yes, of course, waking up early is a must."

Quan Xuanhe glanced at the time; it was indeed getting late.

"Ah, then you should rest now," Liu Zhimin said immediately.

Although there was still reluctance in her eyes, she still urged him on.
"Don't stay up too late, or you won't have the energy to film."

“Okay, you too.” Quan Xuanhe nodded, looking at her simple yet beautiful face. “Hang up.”

"Okay, goodnight Oppa." Yoo Jimin waved at the camera with a gentle smile.

"Good night." Quan Xuanhe also raised his hand in greeting.

The video call ended, and the screen went dark.

Liu Zhimin stared at the phone after it was hung up, tossed it aside, and started rolling around while hugging her doll.

Oops.

...

...

...

The next day.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk continued filming as usual, and then received another piece of new information.

He received two nominations again.

This time, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Blue Dragon Awards and a Popularity Award for his role in "Determination to Break Up".

At this year's Blue Dragon Film Awards, Daniel Henney's "Confidential Assignment 2" also received a Best Supporting Actor nomination.

Park Ji-hwan in "The Outlaws 2"

Byrne, *Idle Mountains: The Appearance of the Dragon*

Im Si-wan's Emergency Declaration

The competition is quite fierce.

He'd be content with just a nomination; his screen time is only about 10 or 20 minutes, and he doesn't have many memorable scenes. Getting a nomination, walking the red carpet, and gaining some exposure is enough for him.

This was a little news during filming. After that, Kim Yoo-jung left after visiting the set and didn't stay for more than a few days.

As time went by, Kwon Heon-hyuk's filming progressed as usual.

Before we knew it, it was time to shoot the music video.

The morning mist had not completely dissipated, and the air carried the crispness of early winter.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's van quietly pulled up in front of a somewhat old-fashioned middle school.

To match the nostalgic, youthful atmosphere with a timeless filter in the "Ditto" music video, the filming location was chosen to be a school with a distinctly vintage feel.

Kwon Seonhyuk got out of the car, wearing a simple dark casual jacket and jeans, with a bare face and his hair was just casually styled.

Park Jung-jung and his assistant followed closely behind, and ADOR staff who had been waiting at the door immediately came to greet them.

"Xuanhe-xi, Anninghaseyo, Director-nim and the other staff are already preparing over on the playground."

The staff member respectfully led the way.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk nodded and followed him through the campus corridor.

The campus was quiet in the early morning, with only the faint sounds of set adjustments and staff members talking in hushed tones in the distance.

As we walked to the edge of the playground, the filming area had already been set up.

Beside the green field, under a makeshift sunshade, the director and cameraman were gesturing together the storyboard.

Nearby, dozens of student extras dressed in uniform were gathered in twos and threes, some touching up their makeup, others chatting quietly, waiting for filming to begin.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's appearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

superstar!
The hottest star among young people!
It was initially a few extras near the entrance who noticed the figure approaching.

They glanced at it casually at first, then their gazes fixed on it, and their faces showed disbelief and confusion.

This person... looks so familiar.

A bespectacled, student-looking boy suddenly nudged his companion with his elbow, his voice barely audible but filled with shock.
"Oh... isn't that Kwon Hyun-hyuk?"

"What? That can't be right!"

His companion looked in the direction he was pointing, his eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively covered his mouth.

"Daifa...it really looks like him, no...it's him! What's he doing here?"

The filming of Kwon Hyun-hyuk was kept secret; the student extras certainly didn't know about it. Only the director and relevant professionals knew.

His arrival was indeed a huge surprise to these people.

The whispers spread rapidly like ripples.

"Really? Kwon Hyun-hyuk?"

"Oh my god...it's a real person! Why would he be filming a music video?"

"Am I seeing things? This looks like a campus-themed music video..."

"How could I be wrong! It's him. I've watched '20th Century Girl' three times."

"Isn't he filming 'The Lost Tomb'? And an actor of his caliber..."

"Wow... this job was totally worth it! I actually got to see Kwon Heonhyuk!"

"Shh... keep your voice down, don't be too obvious..."

Surprised gazes converged from all directions.

The extras who were initially tired or bored instantly perked up, each secretly eyeing Quan Xuanhe's figure, exchanging glances, and some even secretly taking out their phones.

Although no one dared to make a loud noise or disturb them, the atmosphere in the originally loose area of ​​extras clearly changed and became more enthusiastic.

Several young female extras blushed slightly and their eyes became fiery.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was already used to this kind of focused gaze, and without stopping, he walked straight towards the director.

"Director-nim, Anning Haseyo."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk walked under the sunshade, bowed slightly, and greeted the director.

The director had been waiting for Kwon Heon-hyuk, and his face immediately lit up with a smile as he warmly extended his hand.

"Xuanhexi! Anninghaseyo! You arrived so early, you must be tired."

The director's attitude was clearly respectful and enthusiastic; it was so obvious that anyone could tell at a glance.

The director smiled warmly and shook hands with Kwon Seon-hyuk, but he was very self-aware.

He's just a nobody shooting music videos, but when he meets a top star like Kwon Hyun-hyuk, he has to be treated like royalty.

"Of course, the director is exaggerating." Quan Xuanhe shook hands with the director and exchanged pleasantries with a smile.

"Not at all! It's all for the sake of the work."

The director quickly waved his hand, then took out the storyboard and prepared to begin explaining.

"Xuanhe-xi, it's still early. Shall we go over today's shooting plan first?"

"There are a few key scenarios and emotional states you need to portray that I'd like to discuss with you again to confirm your thoughts."

The director's attitude clearly shows that he highly values ​​Kwon Hyun-hyuk's opinion.

Even you are being used.

"Okay." Quan Xuanhe nodded, took the storyboard, and began to discuss it quietly with the director and cinematographer.

He was very dedicated to his work. Even though these things had been given to him in advance, he didn't slack off at all when he arrived on site.

He has managed to eliminate the "celebrity syndrome" quite well.

However, the low murmurs among the group of actors not far away did not stop; on the contrary, they became even more heated because of Quan Xuanhe's real presence, which was so close yet so far away.

"See that? He looks so handsome discussing things with the director..."

"The aura is truly different; just standing there feels like being in a movie..."

"What would he look like in a school uniform? I can't even imagine..."

Shh...don't say anything, he looks like he's looking this way!

"Oh my god...did he just smile? My goodness..."

Park Jung-jung stood a little behind, his gaze sweeping calmly over the extras who occasionally glanced in their direction, their eyes clearly not interested. He didn't interfere, but simply made sure they wouldn't rashly step forward to disturb them.

Given Kwon Seonhyuk's current status, it's quite normal for something like this to happen.
