Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 26 M! Countdown Debut Stage
结束《新西游记》的拍摄工作返回首尔，从9月10号到9月17号的7天时间里奇耀九一直都待在K放送局艺能中心的剪辑室里。

Colleagues from other program teams would always hear quarrels when they occasionally passed by the editing room of "New Journey to the West".

At least three times a day, you can see PD Choi Jina from the "New Journey to the West" production team entering and leaving the editing room with a stern face and cursing.

As for Qi Yaojiu, whenever he came out of the editing room and met any colleague, he would greet them with a smile.

"Whoo~"

Blowing hard on the bangs.

The 7-day editing work is coming to an end, and Choi Jina is clicking the mouse innocently in the editing room.

Next to him, Qi Yaojiu leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and moved his lips, saying, "Is the source of the background music noted?"

Choi Jinna didn't say anything, but just responded by tapping the space bar on the keyboard.

Every time Qi Yaojiu asked a question, Choi Jinna would hit the space bar hard.

After asking, Qi Yaojiu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Choi Jinna, who was slightly hunched over, and said, "Are you playing Audition during work hours?"

"Hey Yixi"

Cursing under her breath, Choi Jina turned and glared at the relaxed Ki Yo-gu: "Hey Ki Yo-gu PDnim, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

Qi Yaojiu spread his hands and asked, "What do you mean?"

Choi Jina blew her bangs again and said dissatisfiedly, "I've been working alone since we entered the editing room, and you're just like Wang, leaning back in a chair to take a nap, and then mumbling a few words when you wake up. Are you a bird? A starling? Are there any notes on the BMG? Are there any notes on the attraction introduction? Are there any subtitles for the food introduction? Are there any repeated close-ups of everyone's hilarious moments in the game?"

"What? Audition? Yes, I'm playing Audition. What's wrong with that? Do you have any opinion?"

Qi Yaojiu moved his butt and sat up straight, smiling slightly and said, "Why is PD Cui so angry? You should know..."

Before Ki Yo-gu could say anything, Choi Jin-na interrupted him with a wave of her hands: "Don't try to brainwash me by saying that editing a program alone is the dream opportunity for all new PDs."

"Qi Yaojiu, let me tell you right now, 'New Journey to the West' is our first and last collaboration. I'm not stupid, I'm not a three-year-old child, I won't let you keep using me like this."

Qi Yaojiu continued to speak slowly, "You can't be so absolute. PD Choi has worked hard. Go home tonight and take a good bath to rest. Maybe you won't feel the same way tomorrow."

Choi Jinna pushed the desk with both hands, using inertia to move the chair.

Standing up, Choi Jinna looked down at Ki Yo-jiu and said, "Don't worry, I won't change my mind. This must be the last time we work together, and it would be best if we never see each other again."

After saying that, Choi Jinna opened the door and left angrily.

Qi Yaojiu didn't chase after him. He reached out and grabbed the edge of the desk and pulled it hard to sit in front of the computer.

The workload of editing was huge. Although he did not do it himself, he stayed in the editing room all the time.

Qi Yaojiu has been watching all of Choi Jinna's work in the past few days. He didn't know how to edit before and had never done it before. If he sat directly in front of the computer, wouldn't it be exposed? After all, his academic qualifications show that he graduated from the Film Department of Hanyang University.

Now he knows how to do it. After Choi Jinna left, Qi Yaojiu went through the program content from beginning to end and edited it into eight episodes. Before leaving the editing room, Qi Yaojiu also did some operation himself.

Its daybreak.

Qi Yaojiu was very sleepy.

Only after placing the edited program USB flash drive in Director Park Jong-min's office did Ki Yo-jiu walk out of the K Broadcasting Station building.

at the same time.

Mapo, Sangam-dong, Ment Broadcasting Station.

Unlike other broadcasting stations, Ment Broadcasting Station is a television broadcasting platform under the jurisdiction of Ment Entertainment Company. It mainly operates two major business segments: entertainment and online TV channels, and is under the overall jurisdiction of CJE&M Group.

The entertainment section includes music shows, music charts, award ceremonies, etc.

Among them, M! Countdown is an authoritative and representative music chart and a music program. It selects the top 50 popular music charts every week and invites singers or bands to perform the latest and most popular music works live.

Today is just an ordinary Thursday for office workers, but for idols or solo singers, it is the most important day of the week for the recording of promotional stages for their debut or album comeback.

In the morning, IU went to Gangnam's most upscale beauty salon for her first time with her manager. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and slightly curled inwards.

After finishing her hairstyle and makeup that was completely inconsistent with her age, Lee Ji-eun kept sighing with worry as she walked towards the Ment Broadcasting Station in Sangam-dong.

The agent kept comforting Li Zhien: "Don't be nervous, just act like you are in the practice room. You have the ability, and everyone in the company believes that you can make a big splash."

IU didn't respond.

Today is the day she officially debuted. The first stage is the most important stage in life for anyone pursuing the dream of becoming a singer.

It is normal to feel nervous, anxious, and uneasy. Being able to overcome these factors and stand on the stage to perfectly display your musical talent is the first real step.

However, IU is not worried about performing poorly on stage, but is uneasy about the particularly elaborate makeup that she is doing for the first time.

She is obviously only 15 years old (16 in lunar age), why does she have to dress like an adult? It is completely different from her imagination of two cute buns or even a pure ponytail style.

The stage costumes prepared by makeup artist Ouni are also mature in style, a late autumn top with black and silver sleeves, a black short skirt, thick black stockings, and black high heels.

Li Zhien raised her hand to cover her forehead, unable to figure out whether this was the representative's intention or the agent's intention.

When she put her hands down and saw the crimson nails, Lee Ji-eun almost collapsed.

As a sad love song is her debut song, Lee Ji-eun needs to work very hard to do her best in order to get some attention and praise. Coupled with today's makeup, Lee Ji-eun feels that all her efforts in this period seem to be in vain.

She really couldn't understand why the company didn't let her debut with a cute style, which was the style that best suited her age.

Is it because of SM company’s senior BOA, who debuted at the age of 13 and became a legend in the KPOP world? Do you want to learn from BOA’s path to success?

There is only one BOA in this world, and there is also only one Lee Ji-eun.

Why does it have to be like this?

In silence, Lee Ji-eun could only keep cheering herself up in her heart.

Just complete your debut first. At least you have taken the first step. I believe the company will make adjustments after seeing the results of your hard work, unless the company abandons you immediately.

If that's the case...

"Ding"

The cell phone beeps.

When she opened the text message dialog box, she found that it was from her mother, telling Li Zhien that her parents had already arrived at the broadcasting station. On such an important day today, her parents would definitely be there to cheer her on.

Closing the flip book, Li Zhien couldn't help but take a look at herself in the mirror again, sighing in her heart: "I wonder how my parents will react when they see me like this."

Ding.

Received another text message.

It was sent by my cousin to cheer for Lee Ji-eun. She also took a photo and sent it via MMS. In the photo, she, Lee Ji-eun's grandmother and brother were posing for cheering.

My eyes are foggy.

"Whoo~"

Adjust your breathing.

No matter what, I can't let down those who are cheering for me. I have to perform the best on the first stage, I have to be the best.

Without looking at her phone again, from the moment she arrived at the broadcasting station, Lee Ji-eun's attention was completely focused on today's debut stage.

There was an unread message that IU received during rehearsal.

The content is "Look at the news, you have your debut stage today, kid, keep going."
