Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 198 Have You Heard
In the second week of July, the news that K Broadcasting Station was openly recruiting performers for its new variety show continued to heat up.

Entertainment Bureau Director Park Jong-min is very satisfied with the heated discussions on the Internet. At least the attention it receives is not inferior to the new program that the broadcasting station is also warming up.

Park Jong-min called Ki Yo-gu and asked about the progress of the program's early preparations.

In addition to the selection of performers, the new program has not yet announced the MC.

In Park Jong-min's opinion, the two major national MCs, Kang Ho-dong and Yoo Jae-suk, have both collaborated with Ki Yo-gu. This time, the MC of S Broadcasting Station's new program is Kang Ho-dong, and it is highly likely that the MC of Ki Yo-gu's new program will be Yoo Jae-suk.

When this was mentioned, Qi Yaojiu realized that he seemed to have forgotten to confirm the MC.

On the phone, Ji Yaojiu just told Director Park Jongmin that the MC candidate would be decided within three days.

It was so mysterious that Park Jong-min couldn't help but wonder who Ki Yo-gu would invite to be the MC of the new show.

Apart from Kang Ho-dong and Yoo Jae-suk, who else can create variety show chemistry with idols?

Could it be Kim Je-dong who has decided to leave Star Golden Bell?

Or Shin Dong-yeop, who hosted shows like "Human Explorers"?

I don't think it will be the senior MC Lee Kyung-kyu, but I don't rule out Kim Gura, who co-hosted "Closed Love Notes" with Lee Kyung-kyu.

Sitting in the office, Park Jong-min was immersed in a world of analysis and speculation.

the other side.

Sinchon, MAX Production Company studio.

In the large office, Ki Yo-gu stood next to Lee Eun-young and asked, "Eun-young, do you know Kim Shin-young?"

Lee Eun-young hesitated for a moment before responding, "PDnim, are you talking about the comedian who recently appeared on 'We Got Married' and partnered with actor Shin Sung-rok on the show?"

Qi Yaojiu didn’t know what other programs Kim Shin-young had hosted before. He remembered that he knew Kim Shin-young through "We Got Married" because he was watching Kim Taeyeon at that time.

Qi Yaojiu nodded and said to Li Enying, "Contact Jin Shenying and ask her if she is willing to be the MC of the new program."

Li Enying turned around and asked Qi Yaojiu in surprise: "PDnim, are you serious?"

Qi Yaojiu simply said, "Just contact her. If she wants to consider it, tell her she'll have three days to respond. If she doesn't want to MC the new show, I can make other choices."

Li Enying didn't dare to ask more questions and immediately began trying to contact Jin Shenying.

After explaining this matter, Qi Yaojiu went to his office. He didn't need to explain why he chose a funny female artist who seemed to have no hosting experience to be the MC of the show.

In Qi Yaojiu's impression, Kim Shin-young's comedic talent was well demonstrated through "Youth Never Fails", and he is also the biggest laugh maker in the show.

Of course, "Youth Never Dies" will still be co-hosted by two MCs, and Qi Yaojiu has another person in mind who can perfectly match Kim Shin Young's humorous hosting style.

Standing in front of the windowsill, Qi Yaojiu dialed the phone.

After the beep, a grumble came from the other end of the line: "If you're not looking for me to drink, it's really too much to call so early."

Qi Yaojiu took the phone in front of him and looked at it. It was 9:20 in the morning. He put the phone to his ear again and said, "Brother, were you drunk again last night?"

"Well, Hodong-hyung called a dinner party, but why haven't you shown up lately?"

"I've been busy with a new program lately. Haven't you heard that K Broadcasting Station is going to start a new program?"

The person on the other end of the phone said casually: "What does launching a new show have to do with me? Do I, a small, invisible character, need to know about this? Ah Xi, you won't let me host a new show."

Qi Yaojiu laughed twice and said slowly: "Why do you think I called you so early?"

"..."

After about ten seconds of silence, the voice of the person on the other end of the phone became much clearer, and the tone was no longer as casual as before. He said cautiously: "Hey, no way, you didn't call me this early in the morning just to tease me, did you? Are you recording a show?"

Qi Yaojiu didn't beat around the bush and said, "I have three days to think about the MC of the new show."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone responded immediately: "Really? I will do it. If you let me be the MC of the new show, I will definitely work hard."

Qi Yaojiu anticipated that the other party would not hesitate and left a message: "When you wake up, come to Xincun Studio to find me and talk." He could hear the other party excitedly saying while getting up: "I'll wash up and come over right away. Wait for me, you must wait for me."

After ending the call, Qi Yaojiu put away his phone, shook his head and laughed.

The person he just called was Lee Soo Geun.

Lee Soo Geun, who shined in "Two Days and One Night", is also a comedian, and joined the K Broadcasting Station through the public recruitment of comedians six years earlier than Ki Yo-gu.

He debuted on the stage of "Funny Concert" and gradually gained popularity after joining "Two Days and One Night" in 07.

But compared to other MCs in "Two Days and One Night", Lee Soo Geun can only be regarded as a transparent minor role at this time.

Qi Yaojiu knows how good Lee Soo Geun is, but there is no platform for Lee Soo Geun to fully realize his talent.

"Youth Never Fails" is not it either, but "Youth Never Fails" can definitely be a good start for Lee Soo Geun as the main MC.

He and Kim Shin-young were a pair, and Ki Yoo-gu felt it would be hilarious just by thinking about it.

The call was made at 9:20 in the morning, and Lee Soo Geun arrived at the MAX Production Company studio at 9:55 in the morning.

They were all acquaintances. All the college students in the production company had gone to "Two Days and One Night" to study before taking part-time jobs. Although they were a little confused about Lee Soo Geun's sudden appearance, they were mostly happy.

It wasn't until ten minutes later when Ki Yo-gu and Lee Soo-geun came to the big office and announced to all the staff that Lee Soo-geun would be the main MC of the new show that everyone realized what was going on.

Applause and cheers broke out.

If you don’t know, you might think this is an awards ceremony and Lee Soo Geun won the grand prize.

The anticipation was already building, and just as Lee Eun-young had contacted Kim Shin-young, the other party readily agreed to be the MC of the new program after repeatedly confirming that he was not a scammer.

afternoon.

Two new pieces of news came out from K Broadcasting Station.

First, the name of the program has been officially confirmed as "Invincible Youth".

One is that the program MCs have been officially confirmed to be Lee Soo Geun and Kim Shin Young from "Two Days and One Night".

K Broadcasting Station, Entertainment Center Director's Office.

Park Jong-min still doesn't quite understand Ki Yo-gu's choice.

The new program is intended to compete with S Broadcasting Station's "Strong Heart".

This comparison does not mean that "Strong Heart" has confirmed Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi as MCs, but also that Ki Yo-gu's new program will use "Two Days and One Night" member Lee Soo Geun as MC.

Park Jong-min even wondered if Ki Yo-gu was acting impulsively.

Can Lee Soo Geun be the main MC? He has always cooperated with Kang Ho Dong in the "Two Days and One Night" program.

Only Qi Yaojiu can give the answer to this question.

The answer is Lee Soo Geun can do it. Even if the new program may not surpass "Strong Heart", at least it will not lose embarrassingly, and Lee Soo Geun is an MC who is definitely worth training.

Lee Soo Geun also heard these rumors from his acquaintances.

He didn't go to confirm with Qi Yaojiu.

No matter what, from this moment on, Lee Soo Geun has only one attitude towards Ki Yo Gu, that is, a gentleman will die for his friend.

The MC has been confirmed, and the next thing for Qi Yaojiu to do is to decide on the list of performers.

The method is very simple. The chosen person will receive a call from Qi Yaojiu.

For a time, the idol artists who participated in the registration and whose private companies had reached cooperation agreements with Qi Yaojiu were all looking forward to receiving a call from Qi Yaojiu.
