Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 126 This little girl is really pretty
(Various requests!!!)
9:50 am.

Invited reporters from several news media agencies, including S Sports, D Company, and CX Daily, arrived one after another at the production conference hall on the second floor of K Broadcasting Station's headquarters.

In the past, news media agencies rarely participated in the production press conferences of TV stations' own TV dramas.

Because the scale of the TV series produced by the broadcasting stations is relatively small, some are produced in about eight episodes, and some are even only one episode, which is similar to the format of micro-movies.

Therefore, broadcasting stations generally do not hold production press conferences for their own TV dramas.

Today's news is obviously a surprise. Since the casting, there has been no shortage of topics regarding K Broadcasting Station's self-produced TV series in 2009.

First of all, there is the topic surrounding the producer of this self-produced drama, Qi Yaojiu.

Looking at the current broadcasting industry in Country H, there are only a few producers who can plan and produce representative programs that are both topical and have good ratings.

The well-known "Two Days and One Night", "Infinite Challenge" and "Family Outing" are synonymous with the weekend variety shows of the three major broadcasting stations.

There are also programs that have received a lot of attention, such as "Golden Fishery", "Night Heart", "We Got Married", and "Strong Heart".

But these programs have one thing in common: they are all planned and produced by production teams with rich experience in the entertainment centers of major broadcasting stations.

Qi Yaojiu is different.

His name was first known to the public on the show "Two Days and One Night". As a new PD, PD Luo Yingshi introduced this young man who had just entered the society from college to the audience of the show.

According to the tradition of the broadcasting station, new PDs have to take turns on trial for at least two years before they have the opportunity to produce programs independently. Even if they have the opportunity to produce programs independently, many new PDs are unable to come up with outstanding programs.

What makes Qi Yaojiu different is that he had the opportunity to plan and produce programs independently in his first year as a rookie. More importantly, he came up with two low-cost, high-rated programs, "New Journey to the West" and "Three Meals a Day".

The highest production cost of these two programs is the performers' performance fees, and the other costs added together are barely equal to the production cost of two episodes of K Broadcasting Station's flagship program "Two Days and One Night".

Many people in the industry were surprised by Ki Yo-koo's planning and production skills, so much so that when it was rumored that K Broadcasting Station was going to support Ki Yo-koo in producing its own TV series, many people were subconsciously curious about what kind of results the TV series would produce, rather than questioning whether Ki Yo-koo had the production ability.

Later, news about the script of the self-produced TV series was also the most discussed for a period of time.

In the film and television industry, the Hong sisters' status has been established through their achievements.

The fact that the script was directly recognized by the Hong sisters shows that it has market value.

Then came the various news coming out from within K Broadcasting Station.

For example, the scale of TV series production will be the highest cost invested by K Broadcasting Station in recent years.

For example, the broadcasting station’s top brass has unlimited trust in Ki Yo-gu.

Inevitably, there are also rumors that delve into the backgrounds and relationships of the nine people in Qi Yao.

When the news of the open casting and confirmed actors for the TV series came to light, many people couldn't wait and began to wonder what the content of the TV series would be.

A new PD with no background or connections, the male lead Lee Seung Gi is also making his TV debut, the other actors are just mediocre, and the most recognizable and popular one is the female lead Han Hyo Joo.

With such a combination, it would not be easy for even a script approved by the Hong sisters to achieve good results.

Everyone wants answers to all kinds of questions, which is why today at the large-scale production conference, reporters from major news media are eagerly waiting for the question-and-answer session.

The discussion never stopped.

The production conference starts on time at 10 am.

In the lounge next to the hall, producer Ki Yoo-gu, PD Choi Jin-na, and main actors Lee Seung-gi, Han Hyo-joo, Bae Soo-bin, Moon Chae-won, Ban Hyo-jung, and Kim Mi-sook who were attending today's press conference were all there.

"dong dong dong"

No one paid attention to the knock at the door.

At this time, everyone in the lounge was discussing the topic of the convention.

The door opens.

Jiang Minjing bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Jin Meishu waved her hand: "It's not too late, come and sit here."

Kang Min Kyung then greeted other actors one after another, including Choi Jin Na and Ki Yo Gu.

She is one of the only three people today who didn't have many roles but was invited to attend the production press conference.

Compared to Ban Hyo-jung and Kim Mi-sook, Kang Min-kyung is still a newcomer.

Although the senior actors were very accommodating and easygoing during the dinner, Kang Min-kyung still felt a little reserved as she sat on a chair near the door. She cautiously observed the others as Ki Yo-gu said to Han Hyo-joo, "If Seung-gi's contract is to have a ratings-topping show, how about he play the balloon man at the supermarket entrance to promote agricultural products?"

Han Hyo Joo shook her head and said, "That's too easy. If I want to be number one in the ratings, I have to at least volunteer at a nursing home for a day."

Lee Seung Gi nodded: "I can do it. Not only one day of volunteering, but also a week. What about Nuna?"

Han Hyo Joo said: "If the ratings are No. 1, I will go pick up coal and fulfill the wish of a viewer."

Qi Yaojiu said, "The ratings are number one. All the actors and production team will go to pick coal and then go to the nursing home to volunteer."

"Separately, if the ratings are number one, Seung-gi, you'll enlist directly."

"Huh? Me? Enlist? Now?"

"I'll have to enlist sooner or later, and getting the top ratings isn't easy."

Lee Seung Gi immediately started thinking seriously.

Qi Yaojiu then said to Han Hyojoo, "You can go on a date with the lucky audience member who was drawn for a day. I think it's a good idea. This way, many viewers will watch the live broadcast and sign up for a date."

Lee Seung Gi said: "I can do that too."

"Forget it, or if you want the highest ratings, just shave your head. That's good."

Bae Soo Bin echoed, "If the ratings are number one, I'll shave my head too."

Wen Caiyuan said weakly: "What about me, a date? No one wants to date me."

Kim Mi-sook looked at Ki Yo-gu and said, "What about PDnim? PDnim must also have a convention, right?"

Speaking of this, Qi Yaojiu became excited and waved his hand: "I have thought of my agreement a long time ago. It's not about getting the highest ratings, but if the ratings exceed 45%, everyone in the production team and the cast will take their families on a 7-day overseas trip."

"Overseas travel?"

"Um"

"7 days?"

"right"

"Can everyone bring their families?"

"Yes."

"PDnim paid privately?"

"NONONO, the broadcasting station will pay for it."

"The broadcasting bureau agrees?"

Qi Yaojiu said calmly, "The broadcasting station doesn't think we can break 45% in the ratings."

"So, just talking?"

Qi Yaojiu waved his hand and said, "But I firmly believe that we can break through 45%, so we can definitely go on an overseas trip. Everyone, please work hard for two months. During these two months, we will focus on filming together. After the filming is completed, we will directly charter a plane to go overseas."

No one said anything. I guess they all thought Qi Yaojiu was just making empty promises.

Only Kang Min Kyung, who was sitting at the door, asked seriously, "PDnim, do we have to bring our family members? And where are we going overseas?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Minjing.

It seemed as if they were silently saying, "You really believed it."

Kang Min Kyung blinked, her face innocent, a blush tinged across her fair cheeks. She smiled and said, "I'll sit down and get ready. I believe what PDnim said. We can definitely achieve a viewership rating of over 45%."

Choi Jina frowned.

Why does Kang Min Kyung believe what Ki Yo Gu says so much?

Was she drugged into some kind of drug?

The team members' trust in Qi Yaojiu does not reach this level, and this is on the premise that they work with Qi Yaojiu every day and understand Qi Yaojiu better.

Could it be that this Kang Min Kyung has a crush on Ki Yo Gu? This kind of little girl is also pretty. If she really has a crush on him...
