Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 111 Someone is messing with Qi Yaojiu

"tatter"

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the K Broadcasting Station Entertainment Center office.

Before Li Enying could react, a panting voice came to her ears: "I saw it, I saw it."

"What did Ji-hwan oppa see?"

After catching his breath, Kim Ji-hwan looked around, his mysterious look making Lee Eun-young even more curious.

"What did you see?"

Kim Ji-hwan lowered his voice and said, "PDnim Ki and PDnim Choi."

"and then?"

"They came out of the coffee shop together, and PDnim was still sorting his clothes."

Li Enying's expression gradually changed from excitement to calm.

"Eun-young, your reaction..."

Lee Eun-young said calmly, "Oppa, is it strange to come out of the coffee shop to sort out clothes? Is it possible that PDnim Ki is putting his wallet away?"

Jin Zhihuan shook his head repeatedly: "It's not to put the wallet, they didn't buy coffee."

Li Enying became interested again when she heard this.

Going to a coffee shop early in the morning and not buying coffee, sorting clothes? There must be something.

"Good morning"

Before I could ask, Ki Yo-gu and Choi Jin-na also arrived at the office.

Li Enying and Jin Zhihuan secretly observed the two of them and felt that Qi Yaojiu was in a good mood today. As for Choi Zhenna, she seemed to be in a good mood too.

Qi Yaojiu and Cui Zhenna came to the workstation, said a simple hello and immediately got into work mode.

"Writer Li, when will the final makeup photos for the crew be released?"

"Jin FD, are you ready for the production conference?"

Choi Jina took the initiative and said, "The media organizations invited to the press conference have been confirmed. In addition to our news department, there are also mainstream media such as S Sports, CX Daily, and D Agency."

Li Enying and Jin Zhihuan also reported on the progress of their respective work.

Not far apart.

Several people gathered around Yoon Ji-hye.

It really has the feeling of a workplace scene in a TV drama. From the audience's perspective, you can see at a glance that there are at least two hostile teams in this office.

No one concealed the fact that Yoon Ji-hye's people were also busy discussing the progress of the TV series preparations that Ki Yo-gu was discussing.

A certain entertainment writer was recruited for the 31st issue: "With such a high-profile production press conference, if the ratings for the first broadcast are low, I wonder how I'll get out of this."

The 32nd public recruitment for a variety writer asked: "If the results are not good, will Ki Yo-gu voluntarily resign and leave the broadcasting station?"

A certain FD during the 32nd public recruitment said: "If it were me, I would definitely resign. How can I have the nerve to stay in the broadcasting station if I can't produce results?"

The 33rd issue of the public recruitment of a certain entertainment writer: "What if Qi Yaojiu is thick-skinned? I think the director-nim will protect him."

Yoon Ji-hye slowly spoke, "If he can't produce results, the director won't continue to support Ki Yo-gu unless he resigns. Just wait and see."

7th floor, high-rise office area.

Office of Vice President Li Yuanjun.

Director Park Jong-min of the Entertainment Center and Director Kim Hye-joo of the TV Drama Production Center sat on either side of the sofa, one on the left and one on the right.

Li Yuanjun sat in the middle, took a sip of tea, and said, "The adaptation of 'Boys Over Flowers' has been very successful. It's a great start for our broadcasting station's TV drama lineup this year."

Kim Hye-joo didn't dare to take credit for it, and responded, "Vice President-nim has a unique vision. He saw that the adaptation of 'Boys Over Flowers' would be a success, which is why he had such a good start."

Park Jong-min secretly gave a thumbs up and looked at Kim Hye-joo as if to say, "You flatter me well."

They talked about "Brilliant Inheritance," which will soon be the successor to "Boys Over Flowers." This drama is the first original drama produced by the broadcasting station this year, and it is also the first TV series that Ki Yo-koo has directed after changing his career.

A total of 28 episodes are required for the review, which is the longest screening time during prime time.

Vice President Li Yuanjun told Jin Huizhu that if the ratings failed to reach the minimum threshold of 15% after the first four episodes were broadcast, the production of 28 episodes would have to be shortened by at least 12 episodes to a 16-episode TV series.

Kim Hye-joo did not speak well of Ki Yo-gu. The broadcasting station invested a lot of money in supporting this drama, and if it fails to achieve the desired effect, it will definitely be cancelled.

Reality has always been so cruel, but Kim Hye-joo believes in the vision of the "Hong Sisters". They all think that good works will not perform badly.

Vice President Li Yuanjun turned around and said to Park Jongmin, "I heard that S Broadcasting Station will be launching a new variety show this year. Has Director Park heard anything?"

The two people are in different positions, so their networks of connections are naturally different.

Li Yuanjun also interacted with people of equal or higher rank, while Park Jongmin only interacted with people at the department director level at most.

Li Yuanjun did not agree to hear the specific information, after all, the other party would not leak commercial secrets.

But it is possible for Park Jong-min to find out the detailed information. It's not that they have planted spies, but the broadcasting station circle is so small, and the relationships between classmates, friends, and fellow townsmen are complicated. It is impossible to keep it completely confidential.

Park Jong-min actually heard some specific details. The program format is outdoor competitive, and a competition rule will be established. The performers will be divided into two teams to exchange PK.

Other things are still under discussion, such as the rewards and punishments for winning and losing, and the list of performers.

However, the production team has confirmed that it will be handled by the team of "X-MAN" and "Family Outing".

This team is also the most powerful ace team in the entertainment center of S Broadcasting Station so far. It is known as the three major production teams of wireless broadcasting stations together with M Broadcasting Station's "Infinite Challenge" team and K Broadcasting Station's "Two Days and One Night" team.

The topic came back to Ki Yo-gu, and Vice President Lee Won-jun asked Director Park Jong-min if Ki Yo-gu had any new program plans this year.

After saying this, Vice President Li Yuanjun laughed himself, and lamented when the two core departments of the Broadcasting Bureau began to rely on newcomers.

There is something in the words.

Park Jong-min and Kim Hye-joo both heard it.

I always thought that Vice President Li Yuanjun supported Qi Yaojiu, but now it seems that is not the case.

Park Jong-min said that recently Ki Yo-gu's most important energy has been focused on TV drama production, but Ki Yo-gu mentioned the new program during the meeting at the end of last year, and the specific plan can only be determined after discussing it with Ki Yo-gu.

Vice President Li Yuanjun just waved his hand and asked Park Jong-min to pay more attention to other people in the entertainment center. Creating more excellent production teams is also one of Park Jong-min's jobs.

Leaving Vice President Li Yuanjun's office.

Park Jong-min did not return to the entertainment center but followed Kim Hye-joo to the TV drama production center.

Lock the door.

Jin Huizhu was the first to speak: "Someone must be doing something behind the scenes."

Park Jong-min nodded and said, "If the TV series doesn't perform well, we must have a new variety show to take it up. Ideally, one that can compete with S Broadcasting Station."

Jin Huizhu was silent for a moment and then agreed, "This is what Vice President Nim wanted to talk to us about today. I'm suddenly a little worried."

Park Jong-min frowned slightly and asked Kim Hye-joo, "What are you worried about?"

Kim Hye-joo pondered, "Is it right to take over 'Boys Over Flowers'? The streets and alleys are full of the trendy atmosphere brought about by 'Boys Over Flowers'. 'Shining Legacy' is completely different in plot type. The results..."

Park Jong-min sighed and said, "I will do my best to protect Ki Yo-gu. If I can't, he will become the most formidable competitor of the broadcasting station in the future."

"Did anyone tell you anything?"

Park Jong-min spread his hands and said, "PD Lee Myung-han has always been very interested in Cho Yo-gu. He has now begun to take charge of the TVN Entertainment Center. What do you think?"

You two look at me, I look at you.

People are selfish. It would be great if Qi Yaojiu succeeded, and both directors would have contributed to his achievements. But if Qi Yaojiu failed, they would face a direct impact from Qi Yaojiu in the future.

Neither Kim Hye-joo nor Park Jong-min ever thought about what would happen if Ki Yo-gu lost his job as a PD at a broadcasting station due to the conspiracy behind the scenes.

They knew very well that Qi Yaojiu could go to other broadcasting stations. With his ability and talent, his future growth would become a time bomb and an instability factor for the two directors.
