Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 631 Why haven't you left yet? (Seeking monthly votes)

When Mingyan returned to South Korea, she even encountered several fans at the airport.

He sometimes admired the kids' intelligence capabilities; they could even find out which flights the celebrities were taking and come to pick them up at the airport rain or shine.

"Don't you have class today?"

Mingyan chatted with fans while pushing his luggage.

The number of fans of the actors is not that exaggerated. Some people have even become familiar with each other after seeing them many times, so the content of the conversation is very down-to-earth.

"Oppa, we've already graduated." A fan held up their phone with one hand to film while covering their mouth with the other, laughing.

"Really? It doesn't look like it." After leaving the airport, Mingyan took the letters from the fans and prepared to sign them: "You should eat well when you get back. Good health is the most important thing."

"Thank you, oppa!"

"Let's go back quickly."

"Could you tell me about your upcoming filming plans?"

"It's a secret. All I can say is stay tuned."

Mingyan waved to a few fans who came to pick him up at the airport before getting into his van.

As an actor, occasionally interacting with fans is a recharging process. At least you know that there are many people in the world who like you. Otherwise, if you only focus on those negative comments, you'll eventually become a nuisance.

However, in Zheng Yuanlong's eyes, these fans are all money.

Ming Yan has been in the industry for over five years, and has acted in all kinds of popular dramas, hit dramas, and leading roles. In addition, he is tall and handsome, so his popularity is explosive among his peers, almost comparable to that of idols.

However, he has yet to monetize his career through fan meetings or similar events.

Zheng Yuanlong felt as if a wad of silver was slipping through his fingers: "Xiao Yan, after 'When the Camellia Blooms' is finished filming, you should consider holding a meet-and-greet."

"decide as things go."

Mingyan thought about it.

Based on the current progress, the crew should be able to start filming in June, which is about three months away.

"Don't worry about the situation. I still need to do market research and contact organizers in other cities. It will take a long time to prepare," Zheng Yuanlong urged. He had been planning to do it since "The Road to Third Rank" ended.

"Let's do the market research first, otherwise it would be embarrassing if we couldn't sell any tickets."

"No, your fans have probably been wanting to spend money for a long time."

"What if?"

"Then just say it was canceled due to force majeure."

Many artists say this when tickets don't sell, which is also related to insufficient market research in the early stages.

Full of confidence that the artist was very popular, they announced a large number of cities and set ridiculously high ticket prices, only to find that no one was buying them and had to cancel in disgrace.

Ming Yan said he is not opposed to holding fan meetings, since actors don't have many ways to monetize their careers.

He felt that he could learn from Kim Ji-won when he had time, since she had organized several autograph sessions and meet-and-greets and was quite experienced in this area.

"Jisoo, why haven't you left yet?"

The man was driven home in a nanny van, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw this guy posing in strange ways in the living room.

"Why are you back?" The two asked the same question.

Mingyan almost laughed out of anger: "I came back right after the event, you must not have seen the news."

"I saw it, Best New Actress." Kim Jisoo said lazily, "You've won so many new actress awards, I'm almost forgetting what 'new' means."

"You have a conscience."

"Hey, you've been in the industry for so long, how come you're still getting newcomer awards?"

"This is the Best Newcomer Award for film!"

Idols can only win the rookie award in their first year of debut, but actors can win it repeatedly by switching TV stations.

Mingyan said that if he went into esports, he might be able to win a rookie award if he changed his name.

"I thought you'd stay in Hong Kong for a few more days." Kim Jisoo picked up the yoga mat from the floor; having someone chattering beside her made it impossible to concentrate on yoga.

"You came back right after the event, didn't you say you were coming back next month?"

YG isn't exactly being kind by letting the BLACKPINK members rest.

They only had one concert scheduled for the entire month of March because they were still preparing their Korean album. Interspersing comebacks within their tour is somewhat reminiscent of Twice.

This is how Mingyan and Kim Jisoo communicate.

They didn't exchange more than a few words, but every word revealed their understanding of each other's schedules.

Jisoo poured a glass of water and handed it to Mingyan: "We're not Twice. Even if we make a comeback, we don't have many music show performances scheduled. The tour is still the most important thing."

YG's main strategy is scarcity marketing.

BLACKPINK is already showing signs of becoming a hit in Europe and America, and the company is pushing the group to expand into a larger market.

Because of Lisa, the group has a very solid foundation in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand, and after last year's huge success in their home country, they are even able to compete with Twice.

With Japan as their home base, and Europe and America as their destination, the two groups have taken completely different development paths in terms of style and market.

"Didn't you go home to visit your family?"

“My mom knows I’m here and told me not to come home and cause trouble. She’s going to help my sister take care of her child.”

Kim Jisoo still seemed a little unconvinced when she talked about it.

She's also a lovely daughter in the family.

"Then don't go back and cause trouble." Mingyan took off his coat and stretched his body a few times. "You rarely get a few days off, so you should rest well."

Even if there are only a few shows, you still have to get up early and work late, which is a considerable test for your body.

The current groups are lucky to be in such a good time. Back when the second and third generations were based in the local market, they would be promoting their music for ten days or half a month at a time, which was exhausting.

"I'm going back tomorrow. I need to practice the new song and prepare for the tour..."

Jisoo's voice grew softer and softer, clearly indicating her frustration.

Mingyan smiled and said, "Then what would you like to eat today? After all, it's the last supper."

"I know a place that has really delicious desserts."

"Is that something an idol who's making a comeback should be thinking about?"

This guy is really not afraid of getting fat.

"Eat less~" Kim Jisoo shook the man's arm; this trick always worked. "Okay?"

"Fine, fine, I give up. Send me the store's address." Mingyan knew exactly what this guy wanted to say without even guessing, and was already preparing to leave before he'd even settled in.

That's because he can drive.

"I will go with you."

"What are you going to do? I'll just buy it."

"If you can't drive, can't you at least take a ride? Let's go."

Kim Jisoo casually changed her clothes, put on a mask and went out with Mingyan, who had just returned home.

However, once they arrived at their destination, they still made it clear that they had gone to buy bread. Kim Ji-soo obediently sat in the passenger seat and waited, as the two of them appearing together would be too conspicuous.

"Mmm, delicious~" Kim Jisoo couldn't wait to open the packaging, tear off a piece of bread and stuff it into her mouth.

The girl had a satisfied expression on her face, showing no signs of being a popular idol; she was just an ordinary girl.

Mingyan raised his hand and wiped the bread crumbs from the corner of the guy's mouth: "Leave some for me."

"Give."

Kim Ji-soo picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

"The taste is indeed quite good." On an ordinary afternoon, Mingyan and Kim Jisoo sat in the car, taking turns eating the bread they had just bought.

For the two of them, being able to quietly enjoy a relaxing and carefree time is extremely precious.

The girl patted her belly contentedly: "That felt good."

"Comfort is not a sin."

"Let's go home and play a couple of games with me."

"Still playing League of Legends?"

"Don't worry, we're guaranteed to win."
