Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 12 You Are Lee Ji-eun

K Broadcasting Station, third floor, entertainment center.

Happy Together editorial office.

PD Kim Kwang-soo sat in a chair, his arms folded across his chest, staring at the computer screen.

The person in charge of editing the latest episode is the new PD Choi Jina, who has just joined the company about two months ago.

Generally speaking, if you want to sit in the editing room and edit a program, you need at least half a year of experience in following the crew. Then the main PD of the program group will take the new PD to teach how to edit the content.

Even if you have taken editing courses in school, the various auxiliary tools needed for program editing at the broadcasting station, including but not limited to lens switching, BMG and special sound effects, subtitle effects, etc., are different from what you learned in school.

There is only one reason why Choi Jina was able to get started so quickly and the main PD was always patiently sitting next to her to provide help at any time: her mother is Choi In-young, the current director of the variety show department of S Broadcasting Station.

"tatter"

There was a knock on the door.

PD Kim Kwang-soo turned his head and looked over at the chair.

The person who came was a new variety writer recruited by K Broadcasting Station in the 34th round. She was assigned to the "Happy Together" program team for internship together with Choi Jina.

PD Kim Kwang-soo thought something was going on with the "Happy Together" program, so before he could ask, the new writer bowed to Kim Kwang-soo and walked over to him and whispered, "PDnim, I just received a notice from the HR department that PD Choi Jin-na and I will be reporting to the new program tomorrow. HR asked me to tell PD Choi Jin-na."

Jin Guangxiu frowned slightly.

It’s not because I’m reluctant to see Choi Zhenna being transferred.

From Kim Kwang-soo's perspective, it is a question whether he can continue to serve as the main PD of "Happy Together" after mastering editing skills given Choi Jina's status.

But I’m also curious about what the new show is like.

So, PD Kim Kwang-soo asked the new writer, "What program? Director Park Jong-min didn't mention any new programs being prepared during the meeting today."

The new writer was not particularly clear, but he did get some information from the human resources department and replied to Kim Kwang-soo: "I don't know the details, but I heard that the new program is "New Journey to the West" produced by the PD of "Two Days and One Night"."

When talking about "Two Days and One Night", the only person Kim Kwang-soo can think of is Na Young-seok.

As one of PD Lee Myung-han's most valued juniors, since taking over "Two Days and One Night", Luo Yingshi has made changes to the program content and the ratings have increased visibly.

The key point is that "Two Days and One Night" and "Happy Together" produced by itself are currently the ace pillars of K Broadcasting Station's variety programs, and the main PD should not be replaced easily.

Judging from the new writer's appearance, he really didn't know the inside story, so Jin Guangxiu left the editing room first, using the excuse of going to the bathroom.

Corridor aisle.

PD Kim Kwang-soo called PD Na Young-seok.

Inside the editorial office.

The new writer lowered her voice and said, "PD Choi Jina"

Choi Jina, who was concentrating on editing, didn't notice at first that someone was looking for her.

The new writer called out three times and then gently nudged Choi Jina's shoulder before she responded, "Writer Lee, what's up?"

Choi Jina also thought it was related to the program content, but the new writer said, "The HR department asked me to tell PD Choi to report to the "New Journey to the West" production team at 9 am tomorrow."

Choi Jina's reaction was similar to Kim Kwang-soo's, and the new writer reiterated all the relevant information he knew.

The editing continued, but Choi Jina wasn't particularly focused after that.

"New Journey to the West"?
My mind is full of thoughts about what show this is.

A new program planned by the PD of "Two Days and One Night". Is PD Na Young-seok going to leave "Two Days and One Night"?
It seems that Qi Yaojiu is in "Two Days and One Night".

No way.

Could it be that the broadcasting station wants Ki Yo-gu to take over "Two Days and One Night"?
PD Kim Kwang-soo, who called back, didn't say anything to Choi Jinna, but just arranged for her to go home early and rest today, and leave the editing work to him.

This afternoon, the K Broadcasting Station's Entertainment Center seemed calm on the surface, but privately everyone was secretly discussing topics related to the new program.

Night falls.

After getting on the Yeouido Line 5 and transferring once, Ki Yoo-gu got off the subway at Samseong Station.

Exit 7.

At this time, Samseong-dong had not yet been redeveloped, and the surrounding environment, in the words of Ki Yo-jiu, was of the style of a county town or even an urban village.

The only tall building visible on either side of the street was a hotel called Shilla Stay.

I took out my phone to confirm the address on the text message: 168-19 Samseong-dong.

The address in the text message was the address of the house Qi Yaojiu wanted to rent. He had found the house online and had already agreed with the landlord before arriving. He walked around the streets and alleys, then entered an alley and compared the house numbers along the street.

I finally saw the three-story building with the address 168-19 next to a pharmacy.

To be precise, it should be the fourth floor. Qi Yaojiu called the landlord and heard a series of responses from behind him.

The landlord came out of the pharmacy. She was a woman in her mid-50s with curly hair, wearing a floral short-sleeved shirt and trousers. She waved at Qi Yaojiu, who looked back at her. "Is that you? A young man looking to rent a room?"

Qi Yaojiu said that it was him, said hello, and came to the door of the building under the guidance of the landlady.

The aunt was very enthusiastic and said, "The people living here are all college students from nearby. Most of them came to Seoul from other places. They don't have much money, so I only charge a 200 million won deposit and 35 won per month in rent. Young people, you should know that this price is almost impossible in Seoul, especially Gangnam."

Qi Yaojiu just nodded. What his aunt said was true, but he would not give her a thumbs up and praise her as a saint.

Pointing to the stairs: "Let's go down"

Qi Yaojiu was stunned for a moment: "Auntie, isn't it upstairs?"

Auntie smiled and said, "Everything up there has been rented out. The only thing that's been vacated is a semi-basement. Don't think your living environment is bad just because it's a semi-basement. Look over there, the windows are at ground level, so there's plenty of sunlight."

There was nothing to look forward to, but in the end Qi Yaojiu still rented this semi-basement house.

Auntie also left all the furniture left by the previous tenant to Qi Yaojiu, otherwise Qi Yaojiu would have just rented the place as an empty shell.

The pillows and bedding were bought at a small shop nearby.

When I felt hungry, it was already dark outside.

People say that you should eat noodles with soybean paste when moving, but Qi Yaojiu doesn't have that idea.

The main reason was that I had eaten jjajangmyeon twice with PD Na Young-seok and his team near the broadcasting station. The taste was hard to describe. It was completely modified to suit the taste of H country people. Even if chili powder was added, Ki Yo-jiu couldn't get used to the sweet taste.

Fortunately, there was a convenience store nearby, and ramen was not what Qi Yaojiu wanted to eat, but it was better than jjajangmyeon.

I closed the door and went to the convenience store, bought boxed ramen, sausages and eggs, and started processing them in the convenience store.

Then I boiled the water. A quiet voice beside me muttered, "Shouldn't you put the seasoning packet in first and then add the hot water?"

Qi Yaojiu didn't care. After getting the boiled water, he took the ramen box and walked to the long table in the convenience store prepared for customers to eat.

I put the box away, unpacked the sausages, and peeled the eggs.

Before I started eating, a petite girl wearing a baseball cap suddenly said, "Ramen tastes best when soaked for three minutes, and you have to add the seasoning packet before eating it."

Qi Yaojiu pointed at himself and said, "Are you talking to me?"

The girl didn't say anything. She held the ramen box in both hands, stepped rhythmically on the floor with her right foot, and her eyes were always alert to every move outside the glass window. She looked very sneaky.

Ran away from home during the rebellious period of middle school?
Jingle Bell.

The phone rings.

The girl took out her phone and subconsciously turned sideways, bent over, and said, "Ouni, I'm in the dormitory. I know about the photoshoot schedule tomorrow. Don't worry, Ouni, I didn't eat anything. Really, I will go to bed early. Bye, Ouni."

Qi Yaojiu was also curious.

Judging from her figure, the girl in front of me is definitely not a model.

The schedule for the pictorial shoot indicates that she is an artist.

If an artist is managed so strictly, he or she is most likely an idol singer.

If you don’t pay attention to your body management, there is a high probability that you will be drowned in the sea of idols after your debut and no one will even remember your name.

Qi Yaojiu asked casually, "Are you an artist?"

The girl shook her head frantically in denial.

Qi Yaojiu was even more certain: "He is an idol singer."

As soon as these words came out, the girl who had never raised her head suddenly looked up at Qi Yaojiu: "I said it's not true."

The girl probably looked up to let Qi Yaojiu see her. If she was an idol singer or other artist, she would at least be on TV and would most likely be recognized.

But she didn't, and she wasn't lying. At this moment, she was not an artist or an idol singer.

Unexpectedly, what Qi Yaojiu said next shocked the girl so much that she stood there in a daze.

She clearly heard the five words "You are Lee Ji-eun" from the mouth of the man in front of her who looked to be in his 20s.
