Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 348 Come on, call me uncle.

Mingyan is still inviting guests for the upcoming preview screenings.

Han Zailin gave him considerable authority, and the two not only worked together quite well, but also got closer in private through a recent dinner party.

As a new actor (in the film), Ming Yan not only drank himself, but also helped Han Jae-rim fend off drinks quite a bit.

That period was truly exhausting.

"Noona, thank you."

Mingyan is currently on the phone with Park Shin-hye.

He met this woman while filming "The Heirs." Their relationship wasn't particularly close, but it was good enough for people in the industry.

"I should be thanking you. I hope we can work well together in the future," Park Shin-hye said with a smile on the phone.

For celebrities, attending these VIP screenings is also a way to increase exposure and maintain connections. Park Shin-hye has been working in the drama industry for many years, so it wouldn't hurt to make more connections in Chungmuro.

"I definitely will. I'll need your guidance then."

"Don't dare."

Five years ago, when they filmed "The Heirs," Ming Yan was just a supporting actor, barely a third male lead. Now, however, he is a highly sought-after leading man.

It can truly be said that one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation.

The entertainment industry is the most realistic place. You may have been the lead actor, but once you're past your prime, you'll have to play a supporting role to your former juniors.

After making his statement, he called Kim Ji-won again. It's definitely not a bad thing to come to similar events and make an appearance. Who knows, it might help him get some resources. It's better than staying at home doing nothing.

Kim Ji-won's expression was still a little dazed; it was hard to tell what she was sleeping at this hour: "A preview screening?"

"Yes, 'King of Glory'." For those who know the stuff, there's no need for too much explanation; just get straight to the point.

"I vaguely remember someone saying they wanted to distance themselves from me, saying that our close ties weren't good." Kim Ji-won had a knack for being sarcastic: "Hey, who was it again?"

Although she knew that Mingyan was right, it would not be good for anyone if the two of them became too much of a couple.

However, this doesn't stop the girl from saying a few sarcastic remarks to someone; emotions and reason are two separate systems that don't affect each other.

"Who, who?"

Mingyan looked around warily, as if searching for the person who had uttered such treasonous words.

Since it's a joke, there's no need to argue. Just go along with Kim Ji-won and make this older sister happy.

"Was I the only one invited to this screening, or were there other people there as well?" Kim Ji-won got up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and her bare face made her look even more innocent and lovely.

"And Park Shin-hye and Jisoo."

"Shinhye unnie?"

Kim Ji-won was somewhat surprised. They had met when they were filming "The Heirs," and five years had passed. How had this guy managed to hook up with that older woman?

Mingyan explained, "Well, Shin-hye and I are going to work together on the next TV series, so we're getting to know each other beforehand."

"That AR drama has been confirmed?" Kim Ji-won had heard this guy mention before that he was preparing to audition for a new drama.

Someone really has great resources; they get one acting role after another without any breaks in between.

"Yeah, I guess filming will start in the second half of the year."

"Your schedule is really packed."

Kim Ji-won felt much more at ease.

Park Shin-hye is not Ming-yan's type, which was evident even during the filming of "The Heirs." It's clear that he hasn't reached the point of being completely indiscriminate in his tastes.

That woman wasn't exactly unattractive, but she did look a bit older than her age.

Mingyan smiled and said, "Nuna, so you're agreeing?"

"I will take good care of Jisoo for you."

Kim Ji-won has been wanting to meet Kim Ji-soo for a long time; it's no fun constantly bickering with Lim Na-yeon.

Mingyan only informed Kim Jisoo last, because he could make the decision for that guy, and the rest was just a matter of informing him.

"You can just talk to our company directly." Just as he expected, Kim Ji-soo agreed before Ming-yan could even finish speaking, very decisively.

Do you know what a preview screening is for?

"I don't know." "Then why did you agree so readily?"

"Didn't you tell me to go?"

Kim Jisoo's logic is powerful and simple: if you tell me to go, I'll go. Anyway, being clear won't hurt me, so why ask so many questions?

Mingyan nodded: "That makes sense. You can wait for your agent to let you know."

"You'll be there too, right?"

"Of course, that's a movie I starred in."

"That's no problem."

The man looked at the phone that had been hung up; Kim Ji-soo handled things quickly.

He then told Zheng Yuanlong about the guest he had found, and asked Na Ge to contact the guest's agent and company, and then report to the production team.

Ming said he plans to go on vacation to Jeju Island next, as staying in Seoul all the time sometimes makes him feel tired.

Having grown tired of skyscrapers and steel jungles, I just want to see sunshine, beaches, and beautiful women in swimsuits.

……

"Xiao Yan, Zhi Min, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."

Mrs. Liu politely thanked Mingyan.

From her perspective, it's highly likely that Yoo Jimin wanted to go out and play, so she dragged Kim Minjung along and asked Myung-yeon to go with her. With an adult accompanying her, everything would be more convenient.

"It's nothing. Actually, I was going to take Minjun out to play anyway," Mingyan said with a smile.

Strictly speaking, he should be considered a junior in front of Liu's mother, but since Liu Zhimin and Kim Minjung are friends, and he is Kim Minjung's uncle, the two of them have become peers in a strange way.

Today is the day we're leaving for Jeju Island, so Myung-eon brought Kim Min-jung upstairs to pick up Yoo Jimin.

Otherwise, their family wouldn't feel at ease. Their youngest daughter has been going out a lot lately, often staying out all night. She can't do without a reliable person by her side.

Kim Minjung had been here once before, but this was Myungyan's first time.

Liu Zhimin felt a little shy because of her mother's nagging: "Mom, I won't cause oppa any trouble."

"Yes, Zhimin is very well-behaved. I will definitely bring them both back safely."

"Mom, let's go."

Liu Zhimin barely managed to get through Mingyan and her mother's small talk before grabbing the two of them and rushing out of the house. Her sister would be back from her night shift soon.

If her sister asks for her contact information in front of Mingyan, then she won't be able to stop her.

This oppa can't be your brother-in-law.

Liu Zhimin was in high spirits after getting on the bus; this trip to Jeju Island was an activity she had been planning for a long time.

"Jimin unnie, you're so cunning! So that's why you asked me if I could swim last time." Kim Minjung was still a little annoyed. The little guy was quite athletic, but he couldn't swim.

Jeju Island is surrounded by the sea. I can't even swim. Is it too much to ask of me to challenge the ocean?

"It's okay, I can teach you."

Liu Zhimin had an expression that said, "I knew it."

If Kim Minjung has no objection to this arrangement, then all her efforts will have been in vain.

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. You can bungee jump, and I can swim, so we're even.

Mingyan listened to the two girls chattering away and chuckled as he added some music as background music. He felt something was missing without it.

"Oppa."

"Zhimin, your mother and I were just treating each other as equals, shouldn't you call me uncle?"

“Oppa, didn’t we say before that we should each do our own thing?”

Liu Zhimin bit her lip.

Uncle, it's so embarrassing to call out like that.
