Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 512 Why did you spend money to buy my room?

"11.207 percent".

On the day the crew held their wrap party, the ratings for "Memories of the Alhambra" finally reached their peak.

This result is definitely not bad. It's not a blockbuster, but it's definitely a hit, so the atmosphere at the dinner was quite relaxed.

The pairing of Ming Yan and Park Shin-hye has also gained recognition in the industry; what more could one ask for than a 10% viewership rating on cable TV?

In particular, Ming Yan has achieved good results in two consecutive TV series she starred in. Although she did not become an overnight sensation, she has gained a lot of popularity and her acting skills are up to par. She is the type of actress that sponsors like the most.

He has now become a hot new star in the market, and Zheng Yuanlong receives many invitations from advertisers every day.

If all goes well, Mingyan said that by 2019, he may have more than 15 endorsements.

This is recognition of his popularity among the people, and it also means a lot of money coming in.

Making money from movies is nowhere near as lucrative as making commercials.

"Xiao Yan, choosing you to be the male lead was definitely the right decision." An Jihao rolled up his shirt sleeves, held a glass of wine, and came to Ming Yan.

The director had a lot to do during filming, but now that filming has wrapped, his workload has lightened considerably.

The way Ahn Gil-ho was talking to Ming-yeon at this moment gave him the air of a senior brother.

Ming lowered his cup and said, "I still want to thank the director. You have taught me a lot."

“Young people these days aren’t so easy to manage; everyone wants to be an actor.” Ahn Gil-ho, after drinking, spoke somewhat bluntly: “You and Chanyeol are both good young men; you need to work hard in the future.”

"Yes, no matter what, we are all people you trained."

Mingyan pulled Park Chanyeol to toast him, making the other guy wonder who was actually older.

However, he frequents nightclubs quite often, and when it comes to the rules in the acting circle, Mingyan is truly a senior figure.

Song Jae-jung, the screenwriter, was also very satisfied with the result. She knew when she was writing the script that there was definitely a limit to this type of subject matter, but even so, the actors' performances exceeded her expectations.

"I really envy Eun-sook now, she has such a good student." She really couldn't find anything wrong with Ming-yeon.

Well, the only problem might be that she heard this kid has a lot of romantic luck, but that's not a problem in the industry. As long as he dates honestly and doesn't do anything immoral, there's no problem.

Mingyan immediately patted his chest and said, "If you need any help, you can call me anytime. I'll be there whenever you need me."

South Korea has a screenwriter-centric system, and these screenwriters have a lot of power in casting.

Ming Yan still maintains contact with Lim Sang-chun, the screenwriter of "Fight for My Way".

"Then Eun-sook probably won't like it. She cherishes you, her student, very much."

"The teacher is worried about me, but if it were you, there would definitely be no problem."

Mingyan said that he had drunk quite a bit during this meeting. The director and screenwriter are the two most important people, and then there are other actors and staff such as Park Shin-hye and Park Chan-yeol.

Fortunately, Korean soju isn't too strong; if it were baijiu (Chinese liquor), even a god would probably be knocked out.

"Brother Yuanlong, could you please take me home?"

"Oh."

Silent all night.

The biggest change Mingyan experienced when he woke up the next day was that he had become a free man again. After a drama ended, he would always have some time to rest, and a year or two would not be too much.

Of course, he is currently on the rise, so it's best to avoid long periods of inactivity.

The public's memory doesn't last that long. Once someone has openly accepted an endorsement deal, maintaining the buzz and cooperating with promotions becomes an obligation they should fulfill, since they can't just take the money for nothing.

"Moving to the new house is the most important thing." After getting up and washing up, the man called Kim Ji-soo again.

"Hello~"

"Let's go."

"I'm so tired, there are too many events at the end of the year."

"Let's go and decorate the house first, so that Minjun can celebrate his birthday in the new house."

"Then wait a bit." The wrap party for "Memories of the Alhambra" was at the end of December, and then the new year came, and then it was Jisoo and Minjun's birthdays. Everything was happening all at once.

Perfect timing! A new year, a new beginning, a fresh start.

Mingyan drove to BLACKPINK's dormitory building, picked up Jisoo who was rushing downstairs, and headed towards their new home.

The man glanced at her; the girl was only wearing a simple hoodie and jacket, clearly having just thrown on some clothes and run out. "You must be very tired lately."

"Actually it's not too bad, it's just that preparing for next year's world tour is quite tiring."

Kim Jisoo gave a small yawn.

Her physical strength is not one of the group's strengths, so it's normal for her to feel tired when the intensity of the activity increases.

"World tour? Then you'll be a big star from now on." Although K-pop groups are conquering all over the world, there are actually very few groups that can pull off large-scale tours.

BLACKPINK has only been around for two and a half years, and they haven't even had many comebacks before going on tour. It just goes to show that YG Entertainment's thought process is truly extraordinary.

"I'm a big star."

Kim Jisoo has indeed not experienced many setbacks since her debut.

The group was hailed as monster rookies from the very beginning, breaking the record for the fastest debut to win first place. They had few schedules, not much work, and quick payouts, and then "DDU-DDU-DDU" became a huge hit.

Therefore, the saying in this circle that a small success depends on promotion, while a big success depends on fate is not unfounded.

Who knew that YG's starvation strategy would actually work? I seriously doubt that even the company itself knows how BLACKPINK became so popular.

Mingyan suddenly remembered another question: "Hey, Jisoo, could you put together enough songs for a whole concert?"

"Hey, what do you mean!" the girl gritted her teeth. Why did this person have to bring up such a sore spot?

"I've done the math, and it seems you've only released nine songs so far. Is that enough for a concert?"

The man silently did a math problem in his mind, up to ten.

Mingyan knows every song Kim Jisoo has ever released, so giving this number isn't difficult for him.

"There will also be solo stages for each person." Kim Jisoo may also feel that the group has too few songs: "The four of us can put together enough songs."

She didn't know what the company was thinking; they probably just wanted to see profits as soon as possible.

Concerts are the best money-making machine.

The two chatted as they arrived at their new home. Mingyan said that after paying the money, he would be the owner of the house. Most of the furnishings in the house remained untouched, and they could simply move in with their bags.

"Ah, this is the taste of money."

Kim Jisoo opened her arms.

Three billion won is not a small sum, even if she is confident that she can earn it.

"It hurts too. I should have let you split the cost of the room." Mingyan said with a bitter face. He shouldn't have borne everything himself.

Kim Jisoo made a face and stuck out her tongue: "Too late."

"Oh, then I have the right to take your room back."

"What right do you have to take back my room?"

"Because it was my money."

Why would you pay to buy my room?

Kim Jisoo's intelligence shines through when she's facing Mingyan; her little brain works incredibly fast.

The girl was beaming with pride.

Even if this guy becomes a TV King and a Movie King, and gets a girlfriend, in the end he'll still be completely under my control.
