Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 196 Let’s adjust the members
I did gain something from returning to the K Broadcasting Station headquarters today. At least the promotion of the new program is about to officially start, and Director Park Jong-min also agreed to help Ki Yo-gu say hello to Park Tae-ho of the M Broadcasting Station's Entertainment Center and take care of the new group that is about to debut.

In a blink of an eye.

In the first week of July, the K Broadcasting Station's music program "Music Bank" will be recorded.

Idol groups that have just debuted or returned, as well as solo singers, all saw a notice board recruiting performers for K Broadcasting Station's new program in the corridor of the second-floor studio.

Wave after wave of idol groups gathered around the KT board curiously to discuss.

The KT board did not say what the new program was, only that Ki Yo-gu was the producer of the new program.

Not all idol artists know Qi Yaojiu, but the story about Qi Yaojiu quickly spread in the idol circle through word of mouth.

The idols from small entertainment companies all actively signed up at the instruction of their agents. The large entertainment companies were slightly different from the entertainment companies that Qi Yaojiu had worked with.

Sinchon, MAX Production Company studio.

Ki Yoo-gu is answering a call from MBK Entertainment's representative Kim Kwang-soo.

Kim Kwang-soo on the other end of the phone first exchanged pleasantries and said that he had heard about some things that happened during the recording of "Bounce Earth Game Hall". He was very grateful to Ki Yo-jiu for taking care of Park Ji-yeon and others, and was looking forward to the broadcast of the show.

After going around in circles, he got to the point and asked Qi Yaojiu whether he was going to collaborate with K Broadcasting Station on a new variety show.

Unlike before when Qi Yaojiu personally visited several entertainment companies, this time Qi Yaojiu let K Broadcasting Station promote and promote the open recruitment, and the initiative was in his hands.

Qi Yaojiu, a performer on the show "Youth Never Dies", already had a list in his mind.

The list also includes people from MBK Entertainment, including Park Hyomin, who is in the same group as Park Ji-yeon but has not yet officially debuted.

Park Hyomin's joining is one of the highlights of the show. The screen CP she formed with Girls' Generation member Sunny is very popular in the fan circle.

So when Ki Yoo-gu received the call from Kim Kwang-soo, he had already thought of what to say.

Across the phone, Qi Yaojiu said slowly: "Indeed, there is a new program being produced with K Broadcasting Station."

Kim Kwang-soo immediately responded, "PDnim Ki, we've already had a foundation of cooperation, and I personally find it very pleasant to work with you. This new program..."

Qi Yaojiu paused, and replied with a deliberately awkward tone, "It is an honor for us at MAX Productions to be able to work with Kim Kwang-soo, the representative-nim, but this time we are openly recruiting actors, so..."

Kim Kwang-soo seemed to have guessed what Ki Yo-gu would say and said, "What's wrong with Ki PDnim? Registration is registration, but isn't it Ki PDnim who ultimately decides the cast list?"

"That being said, though..."

Before Ki Yo-gu could continue, Kim Kwang-soo interrupted him and said, "I've already prepared a 2000 million H-yuan cooperation agreement. I'm just waiting for Ki PDnim to sign and stamp it."

Qi Yaojiu was not in a hurry. Just then, another call came in. He said to Jin Guangzhu, "I need some time to think about Mr. Kim's proposal. DSP Entertainment called. I'll call back."

I could faintly hear Kim Kwang-soo mutter, "Does that guy want to join in too, Ah Si?"

After ending the call with Representative Kim Kwang-soo, Ki Yoo-gu called back Director Choi of DSP Entertainment.

The content of the call was roughly the same. He also knew that Ji Yaojiu was going to start a new program and wanted Ji Yaojiu to arrange for Kara members to participate.

There was a tacit understanding between the companies, and Ki Yo-gu still didn't agree immediately because SM's Director Tak Yong-jun called. All three companies had plans for group comebacks or new group debuts in the second half of the year, and they didn't want to miss any promotional opportunities.

In addition, we have already cooperated with Qi Yaojiu once. To put it bluntly, the sponsorship funds of 2000 million H yuan will not have much impact on the company's overall publicity expenses arrangement.

Compared to "Beng Beng Earth Game Hall", the new program has received a lot of attention after the promotion started. This 2000 million H yuan sponsorship is really a great deal if it can get people into the program.

Unlike the previous two companies, Qi Yaojiu responded directly that there was no place for Fx in Zhuo Yongjun's new program.

Zhuo Yongjun suggested that Qi Yaojiu consider the members of Shinee. Qi Yaojiu revealed that although the new program is open for recruitment without gender restrictions, the final performing group will be composed of female group members.

There's no Fx in the plan, and Shinee doesn't meet the requirements for a performer, so...

Zhuo Yongjun said: "How is Girls' Generation? PDnim should have heard about Girls' Generation's performance this year."

Qi Yaojiu asked Zhu Yongjun, "Does Girls' Generation still need to increase its recognition and popularity through variety shows?"

Zhuo Yongjun answered with certainty that it was necessary.

In fact, the song "Gee" sparked a girl group craze for Girls' Generation in Country H. Although Girls' Generation and their fans did not think this song was a good work, the achievement did change Girls' Generation.

The positioning of this group in SM company has always been very vague. It is a large female idol group of 9 members. In order to attract attention, the company did a series of weird operations. The team went through the darkest moment. When it seemed that it would be shelved if there was no improvement, it made a comeback through the song "Gee", which can be said to be a catchy song.

But in the eyes of the company's management, they only saw an opportunity to turn things around. If they wanted Girls' Generation to make money for the company, they had to take advantage of the craze to keep Girls' Generation in the public eye, let the members be active in various fields, increase national recognition, and rebuild their reputation. If they did these things, the opportunities to make money would naturally come.

Naturally, there are also members of Girls' Generation on Ki Yo-gu's list. In addition to Sunny, who forms a screen CP with Park Hyo-min and is full of artistic sense, there is also Kwon Yuri, who Ki Yo-gu believes is the member who can be responsible for the appearance of the group.

Maybe many people who know Girls' Generation think Yoona is pretty.

It is undeniable that Yoona is indeed beautiful and cute, especially in the TV series "The Prince" co-starring with Kwon Sang-woo in April this year, Seo Yoo-jin further highlighted Yoona's beauty.

But Qi Yaojiu personally felt that at least during this period, Kwon Yuri had the highest appearance in the group.

She just didn't get more opportunities to show her charm like Yoona, and this new show Qi Yaojiu did not exclude her from the list.

S.M. Entertainment is very wealthy, and Ki Yo-koo did not tell Tak Yong-jun that he needed to consider it. As Girls' Generation has no comeback plans in the second half of the year, they naturally cannot complete the registration at K Broadcasting Station.

Qi Yaojiu simply told Zhuo Yongjun that there were two members of Girls' Generation who were suitable for the new show, but if they cooperated, the sponsorship amount of 2000 million H yuan would remain the same, 2000 million H yuan per person.

It seems like some shady deal.

But that's the business.

Qi Yaojiu's purpose in producing programs is to make money, not to devote himself to enlighten others.

The full support of K Broadcasting Station means that he does not need to worry about the production costs of the new program, and the sponsorship funds obtained are obviously the pure profit of MAX Production Company.

After ending the call, Qi Yaojiu leaned back in his chair, tapping his desk lightly with his right index finger, muttering, "SM company 4000 million H won, DSP company 2000 million H won, MBK company 2000 million H won, and which company is HyunA's company? Han Sunhwa? The members should be adjusted."
