Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 144 is here. I heard it’s for Zhiyan.
(Yes, I'm asking for monthly tickets. A new program is about to start. The female performers must be featured. The program must be written with emphasis. There are four of us plus Qi Yaojiu. It's fun.)
The facade of the Leon Entertainment building.

Bae Jong-han called out to Lee Ji-eun, who was pacing back and forth and muttering to herself, "Ji-eun, aren't you tired? Why don't you sit in the hall and rest for a while?"

Stopping, Lee Ji-eun looked at Bae Jong-han, who had his hands on his hips and an anxious expression, and said, "If you're tired, go and rest, Oppa. I'm thinking about something."

Bae Jong-han could see that Lee Ji-eun was thinking about something, but he didn't understand what she was thinking about.

Just now in the representative office, Qi Yaojiu made it very clear that the purpose of coming to the company was to invite Li Zhien to appear on his new show.

Although it is not clear why Qi Yaojiu had to make the trip in person, even though he had left K Broadcasting Station, he was well-known and many entertainment companies sent people for interviews when their programs needed them.

Perhaps Leon Entertainment will also arrange for Lee Ji-eun to take the initiative to interview. After all, if she can appear in the program produced by Ki Yo-gu and seize the opportunity, the probability of her becoming popular is quite high.

Bae Jong-han, who had been following Li Zhien's figure and looking around, persuaded her with tired eyes: "Ji Eun, if there is anything you don't understand, can't you tell Oppa and Oppa will help you figure it out."

Stopping again, Li Zhien looked at Bae Jong-han for a full five seconds, and finally shook her head and said, "Oppa can't help me."

"what?"

As he was speaking, Qi Yaojiu walked out of the hall.

"PDnim"

Looking at Lee Ji-eun pacing back and forth at the building entrance, Ki Yo-gu asked Bae Jong-han who was greeting him, "What is she doing?"

Pei Zhonghan shook his head and said, "He said he was thinking about something."

Qi Yaojiu smiled and then strode towards Li Zhien.

Pei Zhonghan saw clearly that Qi Yaojiu was really smiling, and that smile was clearly a doting smile.

why?
Why did Qi Yaojiu show such a doting smile?

Bae Jong-han moved his gaze and when he looked again, he saw Ki Yo-gu and Lee Ji-eun standing face to face.

Lee Ji-eun held Ki Yo-gu's sleeve with her right hand, and looked like she was acting coquettishly.

No, remove the word "feeling".

Lee Ji-eun was shaking Ki Yo-gu's sleeve while stomping her feet and pouting. This is how she acts coquettishly.

Pei Zhonghan couldn't hear clearly what Qi Yaojiu was saying with a smile. At the end, he seemed to make a phone call gesture to Li Zhien and then walked towards the side of the road.

One in front and one behind, IU watched Ki Yo-gu take a taxi away, and Bae Jong-han watched IU watch Ki Yo-gu take a taxi away.

After coming to his senses, Bae Jong-han walked towards Lee Ji-eun.

"Jie Eun."

Lee Ji-eun was still looking at the roadside, and said "hmm" without looking back.

Pei Zhonghan patted Li Zhien's shoulder gently and said, "I've left, don't look at it."

Li Zhien then slowly turned around, said "Oh" and said: "Let's go."

Bae Jong-han stopped Lee Ji-eun and said, "Wait, Ji-eun, tell me the truth, do you know PD Ki Yo-jiu?"

Lee Ji-eun looked at Bae Jong-han who had a sincere expression on his face.

In Lee Ji-eun's mind, the person who treats her best in the company is Bae Jong-han in front of her, and she also trusts this agent brother very much.

It's not that I wanted to hide it from Pei Zhonghan on purpose, but if I had told him before, Pei Zhonghan might have stopped me from meeting Qi Yaojiu secretly.

After all, she is a new singer who just debuted, so she must pay more attention to personal issues, especially love scandals.

The reason why all entertainment companies prohibit artists from dating during their rookie period is the same. The blooming period is very short, and there are not many opportunities and time to stand out and make money. If you want to reap the rewards, you must at least be responsible to the fans who support you.

It's almost the same now. If he tells me, Bae Jong-han will definitely pay more attention to what Lee Ji-eun does after get off work, and will also subconsciously be alert every time Lee Ji-eun and Ki Yo-gu meet and spend time together.

Lee Ji-eun still kept it a secret and changed the subject, saying, "PDnim Ki said my appearance fee was only 100 million H won."

Pei Zhonghan was immediately led astray and consoled her, "It's a little less, but it's much better than spending money to get resources without any connections. Just think of it as a local performance. It's not uncommon for local performances to use rice as performance fees, right, Jieun?"

Lee Ji-eun continued the conversation as she walked towards the company lobby, saying to Bae Jong-han, "But 100 million won is for one season. Even though one season only takes 7 days to shoot, the contract is for three seasons."

Pei Zhonghan's mood went up and down like a roller coaster.

100 million H yuan per season feels unfair.

Shooting a season in just seven days might seem reasonable, but the contract is for three seasons. Even if filming is done quickly, plus post-production and broadcast time, a season would take at least three months. Could it be finished in a year? It's unrealistic. Ki Yo-gu has other shows and hasn't ruled out new TV series.

Ki Yo-gu, who left Leon Entertainment, is on his way to DSP Entertainment in Nonhyeon-dong.

At this time, he already had two sponsorship contracts and a three-season performance contract as an artist.

It was almost the same as planned. The decision to go to SM first was definitely the right one. With SM as a comparison, other companies would not refuse the sponsorship fee, contract period and performance fee proposed by Ki Yo-gu.

This is also a psychological suggestion technique, which makes the heads of other entertainment companies subconsciously think that since SM Entertainment has signed the contract, it must be correct. In addition to Qi Yaojiu's own fame and representative works, the 2000 million H yuan sponsorship is really a gamble on whether their own artists will become more popular after appearing on the show.

The timing is also good.

For Qi Yaojiu, it was a perfect time, place and people.

Kara's comeback with "Honey" at the beginning of the year was lukewarm, and she is currently preparing for her second full-length album in the second half of the year. "Butt Dance," a hit song across Asia, is the breakout song from her second full-length album.

By the time the show is produced and aired, this trend will become even more popular, and Kara will officially join the ranks of TOP idols.

DSP Entertainment had some difficulties in negotiating cooperation with the previous two companies.

Qi Yaojiu mentioned Goo Hara, and the company meant to promote Han Seung Yeon because Han Seung Yeon has been the main promoter of the company since Kara debuted. In the fan circle, Han Seung Yeon also has the title of "Announcement Queen".

But in the end, the deal was made. Ji Yaojiu convinced the senior management of DSP that Goo Hara's artistic sense would definitely become popular. If the show's effect was not good, Ji Yaojiu verbally promised the senior management of DSP that he would reserve a place for DSP's artists in other shows or TV dramas.

The last stop is also at MBK Entertainment in Nonhyeon-dong.

At the entrance of the Star Building, Ji Yaojiu looked at the glass door on the stairs. If it weren't for the pictures of MBK Entertainment artists pasted on the exterior glass, Ji Yaojiu would have thought this was just an ordinary apartment building.

Second floor, representative office.

Ki Yoo-gu met with Kim Kwang-soo, the CEO of MBK Entertainment.

First impression: a polo shirt, uneven eyes, a sparse, greasy hairstyle with a 2:8 split, a Rolex watch, a round face, skin as bumpy as the surface of the moon, with scars piled up, and gloomy eyes. He doesn't look like a good person.

His voice was deep as he said, "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank PDnim Ki in person for his care. Min-kyung and Ji-ah are able to star in 'Shining Legacy' thanks to PDnim."

Qi Yaojiu waved his hand and said, "They got the roles through their own hard work in the auditions, and they performed well. They are all the heroes of the success of the TV series."

"Why is Qi PDnim coming to the company today?"

Qi Yaojiu got straight to the point: "I'm here for my new show. I want to invite Park Ji Yeonxi to appear on my new show."

"Okay, of course, absolutely no problem. How do you need us to cooperate?"

Qi Yaojiu was a little surprised by this attitude.

Kim Kwang-soo smiled and said, "Before PDnim came, I heard DSP Representative Lee-nim talk about it. The sponsorship is 2000 million H-yuan, right? Is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Here's what I think. If Ki PDnim has other new shows at the same time, I'll also sponsor 2000 million H won. Although T-ara hasn't debuted yet, the kids are all good. If there's a new show, Eun Jung can be arranged to appear in it."

He doesn't look like a good person, but he is actually very open-minded. However, this open-mindedness only deepens the negative impression that Kim Kwang-soo is not a good person.

First floor.

The agent hurried into the practice room.

Looking at the six girls who were taking a break to drink water, the agent said, "Here they are."

"Oppa, who's here?"

"Qi Yaojiu PDnim is here. I just heard from the planning team that he is in the representative nim's office now."

Reactions vary.

The manager looked at Park Ji-yeon and said, "I heard from the planning team that they came here for Ji-yeon."

Park Ji-yeon pointed at herself with wide eyes: "Me?"

Park Hyomin immediately said, "That's what I knew."

The other four people also looked at Park Ji-yeon.

So, what does Park Hyomin know, what does Park Ji-yeon hide, and why does Ki Yo-gu suddenly come to the company for Park Ji-yeon?
