Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 245 Qi Yaojiu, you are here on the training ground, commanding your troops.

Qi Yaojiu couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he stood up and raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Directors, for wanting to treat me to a nice meal. But I'm really sorry, PD Kim Sangmi and I have already made an appointment to have lunch together at noon today, and we have a lot of things to discuss. I'm sorry."

After saying that, Qi Yaojiu did not linger for long.

Kim Hye-joo stood up and called out, "PD Qi, when will you have time to come to my place?"

Qi Yaojiu opened the office door and responded, "Next week, I will go to Director Nim's office to report on my work."

Qi Yaojiu quickly closed the door.

The voice of "What day next week?" still reached Qi Yaojiu's ears.

Qi Yaojiu shook his head and sighed.

The secretary looked at Qi Yaojiu who came out of the office with a smile.

After exchanging a glance, Qi Yaojiu shrugged and said, "Sometimes being too charming isn't a good thing."

The secretary chuckled and echoed, "PDnim, do you only now realize how charming you are?"

"Speaking, bye."

"Goodbye, QiPDnim."

After leaving the director's office, Qi Yaojiu went straight to the big office to find Jin Xiangmei.

Although he had not made an appointment with Kim Sang-mi to have lunch together at noon today, Ki Yo-jiu was very concerned when Kim Sang-mi said in the meeting that she would start inviting the prepared list of performers in the afternoon.

In the program "Bounce Earth Arcade", Lee Ji-eun's wish is to participate in the year-end music stage, and she must participate on the K Broadcasting Station. Ki Yo-jiu also plans to invite Kim Sang-mi to dinner at noon today, so that Lee Ji-eun can also participate in the year-end music stage on the two major broadcasting stations, M and S.

There was no one in the "Music Bank" conference room, and no one in the big office. Finally, Qi Yaojiu found Kim Sang-mi backstage in the studio on the second floor.

PD Choi waved to Ki Yo-gu and said, "Long time no see, PD Ki."

Ki Yo-gu politely responded, "Long time no see, Choi PDnim."

Handing a flyer to Ki Yo-gu, PD Choi said proudly, "We're ordering lunch. PD Ki, would you like to join us?"

Qi Yaojiu smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and said to Jin Xiangmei, "PDnim, can we talk for a moment?"

Kim Sang-mi looked at Ki Yo-gu and said to PD Choi beside him, "Don't worry about me. PD Ki and I are going out for a while."

Watching the two of them leave, PD Choi muttered, "What? In love? I knew PD Kim wouldn't be nice to someone for no reason. Even at my peak, Ki Yo-gu's looks were three points inferior to his."

At the entrance of K Broadcasting Station, Kim Sang-mi asked Ki Yo-gu, "What are you going to treat me to?"

Qi Yaojiu said with a smile: "Kim PDnim can eat whatever he wants."

They thought they were going to a high-end restaurant, but in the end they went to a nearby beef soup restaurant.

At the dinner table, Qi Yaojiu waited for Kim Sang-mi to take a mouthful of beef soup before he slowly said, "Kim PDnim, you know I have a friend named Lee Ji-eun, right?"

Kim Sang-mi hummed.

Qi Yaojiu continued, "The main thing is that I'm not familiar with the entertainment directors of S and M broadcasting stations, so can Kim PDnim..."

Kim Sang-mi put down the spoon in her hand and looked at Ki Yo-gu in confusion, "Wait, you're not familiar with the director? As far as I know, Director Choi In-young knows you, and when you went to M Broadcasting Station to visit T-ara, Director Park Tae-ho of Entertainment..."

Ki Yo-gu explained, "I'm really not familiar with them. And there's no need to bother the director with this kind of thing. PD Kim must be familiar with the PDs in charge of the year-end music performances at the two major broadcasting stations."

It’s definitely cooked.

There are only a few core staff and management members in each major broadcasting station, and they are all in the broadcasting circle. Although they are competitors at work, they interact as seniors and juniors or friends when they meet in private.

"You're particularly attentive to IU."

Qi Yaojiu didn't deny it and said with a smile, "By the way, which idol singers did K Broadcasting Station invite to participate in the "Gayo Daejusai" this year?"

Kim Sang-mi picked up a piece of radish kimchi, and the crisp "crunch, crunch" sound of chewing made people want to take a bite. She commented: "I like to eat at this restaurant because the radish kimchi here is the best I have ever eaten."

Qi Yaojiu echoed, "Kim PDnim's choices are always correct." Jin Xiangmei smiled and said, "Okay, no need to flatter him. After dinner, let's go back to the conference room and discuss it together. I'll call everyone this afternoon and notify them. You are required to come to the conference room at 10 am tomorrow morning for the meeting."

Qi Yaojiu thought that Kim Sang-mi had already prepared the list and asked in confusion, "How dare Kim PDnim say he's ready in the meeting without having prepared the list?"

Jin Xiangmei rolled her eyes.

Qi Yaojiu is a really unpredictable guy. Sometimes he seems unfathomable, but at other times he seems very consistent with his appearance as a newcomer who just graduated from school a year ago and has no idea about working life.

How could anyone say that nothing was prepared at the meeting? Moreover, for Kim Sang-mi, who is in charge of "Music Bank", drawing up the list of invited guests for the year-end music stage was too easy.

At least in front of Ki Yo-gu, Kim Sang-mi can confidently say that she understands the music industry better.

In the afternoon, in the meeting room of the "Music Bank" production team at the K Broadcasting Station Entertainment Center.

Qi Yaojiu counted on his fingers: "Girls' Generation, Shinee, FX, T-ara, Lee Ji-eun, Kara, 4MINUTE, Brown Eyed Girls, Davichi, Wonder Girls, 2AM, 2PM, Bigbang, 2ne1, After School, Secret, Rainbow, FT Island..."

Kim Sang-mi, PD Choi and others were stunned.

Ki Yo-gu had only been an intern on "Music Bank" for a month, so how come he knows so much about the music industry, especially the idol groups that debuted in the second half of last year and this year?

I listed dozens of guest names in one breath. Although they weren't all the current idol groups, but...

Noticing the atmosphere was too quiet, Qi Yaojiu stopped and looked around at everyone before asking, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

PD Choi spoke first, "When did PD Ki become so familiar with the music industry?"

Qi Yaojiu thought that the second-generation groups were the backbone of the H-stream. Even if he didn’t understand the future of the H-stream at the moment, if he liked Kpop, he would like the second-generation groups.

They are so powerful. Any group or solo singer who can survive are all extremely strong.

There are the Three Big Seven Heroes, the Beast Group, the Twin Group, the monster rookie 2ne1, Bigbang led by the most talented captain GD among the second-generation groups, and so on.

This doesn't even include TVXQ and SJ.

Both groups encountered some troubles in the second half of this year. SJ should be able to be invited, but as for TVXQ, it would be better to let the new idol group cover "Spell" during their opening performance to pay tribute to them.

There is definitely no problem with S.M. Company. They are probably trying every possible way to resolve the issues with TVXQ and SJ, and don't want to let the two cash cows fall down.

Ki Yo-gu said, "To do variety shows, you also need to understand idol artists. Choi PDnim should know that the cast of my show this year is mainly composed of idol artists."

This explanation was a bit forced. Jin Xiangmei said slowly: "Is there anything else that your PD Qi doesn't understand?"

Qi Yaojiu was stunned for a moment.

Writer Lee smiled and said, "PDnim Ki can produce both variety shows and hit dramas, and he's also so knowledgeable about the music industry. He's truly a broadcasting genius."

Qi Yaojiu wanted to say that this praise was an exaggeration, but it didn't seem to be an exaggeration either.

Waving his hands, Qi Yaojiu stopped pretending in front of the "Music Bank" production team and said, "Be low-key, you must be low-key. Just know that I can't hide the title of genius in this life, hey~"

Kim Sang-mi doesn't want to cooperate with Ki-yo's nine costumes.

Changing the subject, he continued, "If you have no objections to the idol groups and solo singers PD Qi mentioned, please start calling them shortly. Representatives from each group must gather in the conference room for a meeting at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

"understood."

Kim Sang-mi looked at Ki Yo-gu, who immediately responded, "I'll call Kara, T-ara, 4MINUTE, FX, Davichi, Girls' Generation, and Lee Ji-eun."

Jin Xiangmei nodded and said: "You have a good eye."

Qi Yaojiu touched his forehead. He wanted to slip away, but this was not his team. Kuku called out their names and told him that it would be inappropriate to just treat them as palm strike monsters in the future work, as PD Kim Sang-mi was working with them.

Ah ~
This way of working is actually quite tiring.

People who don’t know how to lead a team will only exhaust themselves.
