Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 262 It’s Ha Ji-won and Liu Inna again.

Is the inner world of a teenage girl so complicated? Ji Yaojiu did not say it out loud. On the way back, he talked with Li Zhien about some things about the year-end K broadcasting station's "Gayo Daejeon" stage. In addition to the special program of "Bounce Earth Game Hall", Li Zhien also has to prepare her own SOLO performance.

Suddenly I remembered that the audition for "Secret Garden" is about to start. Lee Ji-eun can try filming, and it is not impossible to arrange a small role for her.

The entrance of Sangam-dong Apartment.

Qi Yaojiu got out of the car by himself.

In front of the backseat window, Qi Yaojiu asked Li Zhien: "Do you want to challenge acting?"

Li Zhien was confused by the question.

Qi Yaojiu didn't waste any time and asked the driver to drive slowly and pay attention to safety on the road. He waved to Li Zhien and said, "Don't rush to answer. If you want to challenge acting, tell me and I will arrange it."

The car drove away slowly.

Lee Ji-eun in the back seat turned around and looked through the back window at the gradually blurred figure on the street.

Acting?
Oppa, do you want me to have more exposure so that my acting career can become wider?

I can easily get the role just by nodding my head, so do I want to take the challenge? What if my performance is terrible and my Oppa will definitely be implicated? What should I do? I feel so conflicted.

Qi Yaojiu didn't know that Li Zhien would have such worries, mainly because his perspective on things was completely different from that of the person involved.

It's just like the surprise and conflicted feeling that actress Ha Ji-won felt when she received a phone call from Director Kim Hye-joo-nim of the K Broadcasting Station's TV Drama Production Center.

After a short break during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Yaojiu started his busy work again.

The next day, he went to the TVN broadcasting station first.

The meeting was not entirely an excuse to tease Lee Ji-eun. Although the scale was different from the regular meetings of K Broadcasting Station, the appearance of Ki Yo-gu also made Director Kim Jae-in of the TVN Broadcasting Station's TV Drama Production Center and a group of core team members pay great attention.

Qi Yaojiu has not started writing the costume drama for TVN Broadcasting Station yet, but fortunately he still remembers the core content of the drama.

Director Kim Jae-in also wanted to reduce Ki Yoo-gu's workload this time, so the two TV drama writers and two directors sitting in the conference room were all selected by TVN to support Ki Yoo-gu's production team.

It seemed impossible not to say something, so Qi Yaojiu said humbly, "Actually, you seniors can be in charge of this TV series project, because I plan to adapt the novel of the same name, "The Moon Embracing the Sun," into a TV series."

"Seniors, please take a look at this novel first. We can sit down and discuss the plot adaptation at the next meeting. Of course, the production of the TV series will also be personally handled by the seniors."

Director Kim Jae-in was a little confused. He had asked Ki Yo-gu to come and put out the fire, but after all this time, it was the TVN Broadcasting Station's production team that took charge.

Did Director Kim Hye-joo of K Broadcasting Station say something to Ki Yo-gu?

No, Director Kim Jae-in doesn't want to lose his job.

In fact, those who can work in the TVN Broadcasting Station's TV Drama Production Center are not ordinary people. They were previously experienced directors and screenwriters in the three major broadcasting stations.

But after switching to TVN Broadcasting Station, I felt a little uncomfortable with the environment. After all, there are huge differences in all aspects between cable broadcasting stations and wireless broadcasting stations.

A TV drama with a viewership rating of over 10% is considered a success, but unfortunately, there has been no TV drama that has made a splash on TVN in the past two years.

The directors and screenwriters present at the meeting today also attended the meeting out of curiosity. What kind of genius is Qi Yaojiu? Why can he become the most talented producer in the world right after entering the workplace from campus?

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment?

None of them expected that Qi Yaojiu would propose adapting the novel into a TV series. They all thought it was Qi Yaojiu's original script, like "Shining Legacy".

Ki Yo-gu didn't stay at the TVN broadcasting station for too long.

After he left, Director Kim Jae-in, the director, and the screenwriter remained in the conference room.

The silence was broken by Director Kim Jae-in, who angrily said, "Director Kim Hye-joo must be behind this. Otherwise, Ki Yo-gu wouldn't have chosen a novel to adapt into a TV series. K Broadcasting Station is afraid that tvN will win the TV series competition next year. That must be the case."

Qi Yaojiu never expected that there would be people who would make excuses for themselves.

In fact, "The Moon Embracing the Sun" was adapted from a novel. Although Ki Yoo-gu hasn't read the novel, the adaptation is likely to be largely consistent with the original, aside from some censorship requirements. It's not that Ki Yoo-gu is lazy, nor is it that Kim Hye-joo influenced Ki Yoo-gu. It's that "The Moon Embracing the Sun" will be a true success as a TV adaptation.

Of course, the premise is the choice of actors. Kim Soo-hyun, who is still a complete newcomer, will partner with goddess Han Ga-in?

Ki Yo-gu will suggest this during the next meeting to discuss casting.

the other side.

Yeouido, K Broadcasting Station Headquarters.

5th floor, TV drama production center.

As you exit the elevator, you can see KT boards erected on both sides of the corridor.

It's all about the open auditions for the TV series "Secret Garden".

The audition will last for three days, which means that Qi Yaojiu will have to clock in at K Broadcasting Station every day for three days.

Fortunately, the male and female protagonists have already been decided, and this open audition is recruiting actors for other roles.

In a small conference room, Director Jin Huizhu folded her arms over her chest and said to the actress sitting on her left: "When I first saw the script, I thought the same as Ha Jiyuan Xi. Is the content too..."

Ha Ji-won exuded an innocence that didn't match her age, and she softly agreed, "Ages above 18, right?"

Director Jin Huizhu nodded and said, "That's right, it's a soul swap, and it's a man and a woman..."

Ha Ji-won looked at Kim Hye-joo eagerly, and Kim Hye-joo continued, "I believe Ha Ji-won must have read the script, so she came here today. Although there are some soul-swapping plots, overall this plot adds a unique way for the hero and heroine to understand each other in this world."

"Also, the female lead role is more about the martial arts scenes. PD Ki Yo-gu personally asked Ha Ji-won to play the female lead. No other actress can do it, so it has to be you."

After a moment's hesitation, Ha Ji-won said slowly, "So, Director-nim, when will PD Ki Yo-gu come to the broadcasting station today? I want to meet PD-nim."

Jin Huizhu raised her hand to check the time and muttered, "It's almost time for him to come over. That guy went to TVN this morning."

"Ok?"

"Nothing, just take a break. I'll have PD Qi Yaojiu come over here right away."

Kim Hye-joo got up and left.

Ha Ji-won leaned back in her chair and let out a sigh. This drama was very attractive to her. Although she became famous through "Haeundae", she still needed more follow-up works to go one step further.

She was also very curious about what kind of producer Qi Yaojiu was. There was not much information about him on the Internet, and the descriptions of Qi Yaojiu by people she knew were also vague.

We will meet today, and I must ask him why Qi Yaojiu specifically asked me, an actress he has never met, to play the leading female role.

There are many people competing for every role in his TV series. Even if he only has one representative work, Qi Yaojiu seems to have become synonymous with guaranteeing TV series ratings.

Fiddling with her fingers, Ha Ji-won waited for Ki Yo-gu.

In the corridor outside.

The staff at the TV drama production center were busy. There were quite a few actors and idol artists on set today. One of them was answering, "Just line up according to your number. The auditions will start soon."

"Thank you. I'd like to ask if there is anything..."

Before he could finish his words, the clerk left in a hurry.

Feeling a little embarrassed, the woman who was asking the question turned to face the corridor wall, but when she looked up, she saw the promotional poster of "The Brilliant Legacy".

I prayed silently in my heart: "Liu Renna, you must succeed in getting the role today. This is your best chance."
