Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 384 Come on, Kim Jisoo.

Mingyan did not hesitate either.

He's currently in the promotional period for his movie, so appearing on a variety show is a win-win-win situation.

Moreover, Lee Kwang-soo had agreed to help him without hesitation, so it was only right to return the favor.

"Then it's settled."

Lee Kwang-soo smiled and bumped fists with Myung-yeon.

Besides the role of the main MC, what matters most in a variety show is the caliber of the guests they can invite; this is when the production team's connections are put to the test.

The two enjoyed their drinks quite a bit, barely exchanging any work-related conversation. Lee Kwang-soo mainly talked about how Lee Sun-bin pursued him and how they got together.

Mingyan couldn't listen for long; this guy was genuinely excited that an old tree was sprouting new buds.

Of course, alcohol also plays a role in this.

The story was told over drinks, and Mingyan and Lee Kwang-soo drank for more than three hours, until it was completely dark before they finally broke up.

Park Geun-sik didn't mention paying the bill, and even thoughtfully called a designated driver for the two of them to take them home to sleep.

The store's business has improved a lot today, probably because someone saw Mingyan here and posted about it online, attracting a lot of fans.

Tsk, being handsome definitely has its advantages.

……

"Xiaoyan, I've thought about it. If you really like this variety show, then we'll collaborate with TVN."

The next day, Zheng Yuanlong shared his views with Mingyan.

As an excellent agent, one of his job responsibilities is to realize the artist's ideas. He went back yesterday and has been making plans, and also had preliminary communication with the program team.

TVN was naturally delighted.

They originally just wanted to try and see if they could get Mingyan to participate. Most actors aren't interested in appearing on variety shows, let alone Mingyan, who doesn't have many appearances to begin with.

Unexpectedly, a windfall came from heaven; Mingyan not only responded but also expressed interest in cooperation.

The TV station was naturally delighted, as Mingyan himself was a guarantee of high ratings. With the addition of other guests, the show would be a success.

"cooperate?"

“That’s right. With your current fame, you can definitely negotiate through cooperation.” Zheng Yuanlong analyzed for Mingyan: “TVN is quite open-minded and willing to spend money, as long as it produces good results in the end.”

"I think it has potential, but there's a lot of work to be done."

First, he needs to coordinate the timing of inviting guests.

Secondly, the filming process in China requires relevant approvals, and local staff may be needed to maintain order during on-site filming.

Filming across borders involves a lot of complexities; it's not something you can just do by gathering people, flying them over, and setting up cameras.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Zheng Yuanlong said with great enthusiasm.

It's just work.

Dry!
"Okay, let me think about it some more, and then I'll send you the guest list."

"Then hurry up." Zheng Yuanlong glanced at Mingyan's schedule: "There are less than two months left until you join the crew."

It was still before June, and the filming of "Memories of the Alhambra" was scheduled to begin in early August, a gap that was neither too long nor too short.

"Oh right, Wonryong hyung, I also promised Kwangsoo hyung that I would participate in an episode of 'The Culprit'."

"You really know how to find things for me to do."

……

Mingyan directly called Kim Jisoo.

He thought about it and realized that this kind of show would be perfect for him. It was in Chinese, featured food, and would also give Kim Jisoo some exposure.

Lim Nayeon wouldn't be suitable. Twice's schedule is too busy, and it's impossible for them to have Nayeon become a regular MC on a variety show right now.

Kim Ji-won is even less likely to succeed; that other woman's Asian fan meeting tour has just started, and she still has a lot to do.

With Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Ji-soo, and himself, this lineup is sure to generate a lot of discussion.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Kim Jisoo's voice still sounded a bit tired.

BLACKPINK is currently preparing for a comeback. Although the members don't have many public appearances, they are still very busy every day.

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Let's talk in person," Mingyan said decisively.

“Okay, then come straight to the company. I’ll wait for you here.” Kim Jisoo wasn’t surprised; this girl came to YG quite often. “Also, remember to bring a few cups of coffee.”

"Ok."

Mingyan arrived at YG with six cups of coffee.

Four cups were given to the members of BLACKPINK, one to their manager, and one for myself to quench my thirst.

He entered the children's practice room and immediately spotted Kim Jisoo sprawled on the floor in front of the air conditioner. That's just how carefree she is.

"Jisoo unnie, oppa's here!" Rosé's voice suddenly rang out in the practice room, startling the other three people who all looked up in their direction.

"Chaeyoung, your coffee." Mingyan shook the bag in his hand: "Jennie, Lisa, everyone has some."

The three girls thanked him one after another: "Thank you, oppa~"

They knew they were benefiting from Kim Jisoo's fame, so after exchanging a few casual words with Mingyan, they went out to rest.

"What's wrong? Are you tired from practicing dance?" The man, holding the last two cups of coffee, sat down on the ground next to Kim Jisoo.

"It's okay~"

Kim Jisoo's tone unconsciously carried a hint of coquettishness.

This woman doesn't intentionally act coquettish, but she always unconsciously acts coquettish when facing Mingyan.

"Do you want me to massage your legs?" Mingyan pinched the girl's calves. "You're too tired; it's easy to get injured."

Kim Jisoo didn't say anything, but simply spun around on the ground and tucked her legs into the man's arms. The whole sequence of movements was fluid and natural, showing no hint of ambiguity, only practice.

"Our dance is actually not too difficult."

The girl sighed contentedly.

She had been wanting to give him a massage for a few days, but she hadn't mentioned it because she was afraid Mingyan would be too busy.

"It's alright, anyway, I think it's pretty good." One of Mingyan's interests is watching Kim Jisoo's stage fancams. No matter how much criticism this girl receives for her skills, he really likes her.

Even if Kim Jisoo were doing radio calisthenics, I would still give her a perfect score.

The girl swung her chubby legs a couple of times: "Hey, haven't you been to the house where we filmed our variety show since?"

“No, it’s probably under renovation again now.” Mingyan thought for a moment: “I remember the contract said it would become an IP operation site later.”

In short, it's about buying things, such as BLACKPINK merchandise, etc.

"Hmm, it's a bit of a pity. I put a lot of thought into the design back then."

"I'm buying a new house soon, and I'll have you design the renovation."

"Come on, you're probably just looking for a free supervisor, aren't you?" Kim Jisoo said warily, giving off a "I've seen right through you" look.

"What can I do? I don't trust anyone else."

"Hmph, we'll see when the time comes." The girl seemed to remember something, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly: "Maybe someone will be eager to be this free supervisor."

Mingyan cleverly changed the subject: "Jisou, let's not talk about the house for now. I want to discuss something serious with you today."

"Isn't a house proper?"

"Something more serious."

Kim Jisoo shut her mouth, her round eyes looking at the man in front of her with an unusual clarity.

"I have a variety show and I'm looking for guests. Why don't you come too?" Ming Yan emphasizes brevity; if he said too much, he'd probably get confused.

“Sure, go talk to your agent and see if the schedule can be adjusted.”

"Ah."
