Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 274 You and Jimin unnie didn't go on a date, did you?

"Xiao Yan, why didn't you get better first before coming here?"

Zheng Yuanlong was puzzled as to why Mingyan had suddenly become so diligent.

He wasn't saying this guy wasn't hardworking, but "The King" has already finished filming, and his next project hasn't been confirmed yet. Now is a good time to rest, so there's no reason for him to keep running to the company.

Mingyan shrugged. This guy has a distorted view of himself.

He pointed inside: Is the teacher here?

"The president is here, you should go and say hello quickly," Zheng Yuanlong said with a smile. "She was very worried after hearing that you were sick."

Mingyan nodded. He had received a text message from Kim Eun-sook to greet him, but his loss of voice came too quickly, so he could only reply by text message in the same way.

The sound of workers typing on keyboards echoed through the building. Mingyan was familiar with most of the people there, as he was the company's only artist.

Hwa&Dam Pictures is actually not a large company. It was initially established to serve Kim Eun-sook's business negotiations, and at that time the entire company had less than ten people.

Later, it was explicitly stated that an artist management department was added.

It can be said that the company is divided into two parts: one part serves Kim Eun-sook, and the other part serves Myung-eon.

"Dang Dang Dang."

Mingyan arrived at Kim Eun-sook's door and deliberately knocked on it in a way that was different from usual.

"Come in." When Mingyan came in, he found his teacher unconsciously twirling a pen in her hand, a habit Kim Eun-sook had when she was thinking about the plot.

As a prominent figure in the South Korean screenwriting circle, Kim Eun-sook naturally possesses some quirks typical of creators. She never creates in the office, but prefers noisy places instead.

For example, a coffee shop, or a park with high foot traffic.

While basking in the sun and listening to the hustle and bustle of the world, I wrote down words that would set one viewership record after another on television.

He quietly sat on the sofa in the reception area, crossed his legs, and waited for Kim Eun-sook to come to her senses. The response to the knock on the door was just a subconscious reaction from the teacher.

A few more minutes passed before Kim Eun-sook stopped what she was doing: "Xiao Yan, what brings you here?"

Kim Eun-sook stood up from her office chair and walked to the sofa to carefully examine Ming-yeon's complexion. Although it was still somewhat dull, his overall spirit was quite good.

Mingyan pointed to his throat and shook his head.

"Oh, right, I forgot you can't speak." Kim Eun-sook suddenly slapped her forehead: "Since you can come to the company, it means you'll be better soon, right?"

Mingyan typed a few lines on his phone: Teacher, I'm just being professional. I came to the company while sick mainly because I didn't want you to worry.

"If you're afraid I'll worry, then don't get sick. You always talk so eloquently about others, but when it comes to yourself, you forget everything."

Kim Eun-sook grabbed Myung-yeon by the ear and started scolding him.

In someone's circle of friends, only she is qualified to do this.

Mingyan clasped his hands together and waved them repeatedly, begging for mercy. Kim Eun-sook didn't use much force; it was mainly a matter of posture.

"You came here for the play 'Memories of the Alhambra,' right?" Kim Eun-sook could guess what her student was thinking right away, since Song Jae-jung had informed her beforehand.

If you want to use someone else's students, you definitely need the teacher's permission.

Mingyan grinned and nodded, knowing that listening to Kim Eun-sook's opinion on dramas was definitely the right thing to do.

"What do you think of 'King of Glory'?" Kim Eun-sook asked, then shook her head with a smile. "Never mind, you can't speak right now, but your teacher understands what you're thinking."

After you've made movies, you should know that you need connections to succeed in this industry.

All I can say is that *Memories of the Alhambra* will definitely be helpful to you; as for how well you achieve it, that depends on your performance.

She and Song Jae-jung have been old friends for a long time. Being the same age is a very important dividing line between friends and seniors/juniors in South Korea, and two people of the same age can easily become friends.

Compared to "Fight for My Way," the script for "Memories of the Alhambra" gives the actors even more room to perform.

Ming Yan seemed thoughtful. The success of "Fight for My Way" was largely due to his and Kim Ji-won's performances, and online discussions about the actors' and actresses' acting skills far outweighed those about the plot.

After "The King", he was indeed eager to take on more challenging roles.

Kim Eun-sook added, "You need to recover quickly. If you have any lasting effects, you won't be able to think about anything else." Ming-yeon nodded, then typed on his phone and handed it to his teacher: "How's it going with the discussion with YG about the group's comprehensive project?"

"You should ask your agent about that; I don't handle the specifics."

Kim Eun-sook is a successful businesswoman and a creator who is not very patient with her daily work.

She has her own secretary, and even has a dedicated assistant for refining and proofreading the script.

Mingyan had only come to say hello and reassure Kim Eun-sook. Now that he had achieved his goal, he should get up and leave. It was more important to get down to business.

He communicated with Zheng Yuanlong through gestures and typing.

A mature agent is efficient; Jung Won-ryong has already contacted BLACKPINK's team at YG Entertainment, and they are very interested in the opportunity to work with a popular actor.

The next step should be to determine the number of episodes.

South Korea has a very mature entertainment industry, and idol group variety shows also have a whole production team working on them, with each episode having a different theme.

"Brother Yuanlong, let Zhixiu and I discuss the details." Mingyan showed the words on his phone to Zheng Yuanlong.

"That's fine too."

"As for the TV series, I'll arrange an audition once I'm better."

"Okay, it's good that you've made up your mind. Leave the rest to me."

……

Mingyan took a stroll around the company before going home to rest.

Oh, and I also need to take my medicine.

His phone had an alarm set by Kim Jisoo to remind him when it was time to take his medicine, so that he wouldn't forget and delay his recovery.

"Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up."

Mingyan turned off the alarm clock and hummed Blackpink's debut song in a muffled, guttural voice.

"Uncle, what did you and Jimin unnie do today?" The first thing Kim Minjun asked when he got home was why Yoo Jimin was late.

The little guy didn't believe Ning Yizhuo's nonsense at first, but then he realized that Liu Zhimin's return time didn't match up at all.

It shouldn't take that long to pick up a phone.

Mingyan typed a few words in a flurry: "Didn't Zhimin say anything when she got back?"

"Jimin unnie said that you guys went to have breakfast."

Mingyan spread his hands, the truth was clear: he and Liu Zhimin had only had breakfast together.

If I hadn't stopped him, that kid would have even tried to skip a whole day of practice, and the two of them might have been caught at home by Kim Minjung when he came home from get out of class.

Hmm... using the word "block" isn't quite appropriate, since they haven't done anything wrong.

This word is more suitable for Kim Ji-won.

"You didn't even take me to breakfast..." Kim Minjung muttered softly.

"Jealous."

Ming Yan specifically used bold text to express his teasing of his niece.

Jealousy isn't just something that happens between lovers; similar feelings can exist between family members, such as siblings vying for their parents' attention.

"Uncle, I'm not jealous at all," Kim Minjung retorted loudly. "It's Ningning who keeps saying you went on a date with Jimin unnie..."

Mingyan feigned a terrified expression, as if he had been discovered.

"Uncle!"
