Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 264 I, Liu Renna, am here
Qi Yaojiu agreed with the description of a gentleman.

His noble qualities and elegant behavior are indeed in line with Ji Yaojiu himself. It can only be said that Director Jin Huizhu's name was not chosen in vain, and she really has a discerning eye for talent.

At the door of conference room 102, Qi Yaojiu adjusted his hairstyle and clothes.

It was also his first time meeting Ha Ji-won, and in his impression, Ha Ji-won could be called an ageless goddess.

Many artists around the world, regardless of gender, have a commendable attitude towards their profession. As an artist, they should always manage themselves strictly, no matter if they are 20, 30, 40 or 50 years old, as long as they appear in the public eye, they should be in the best and most perfect state.

Dong dong dong

Qi Yaojiu knocked on the glass door of conference room 102.

"Clang"

After a burst of noise, a gentle female voice came from the conference room: "Come in."

"crunch"

Pushing open the door of the conference room, the area inside is about ten square meters. There is a long table that can accommodate ten people for a meeting at the same time, equipped with several chairs, and a whiteboard and several stools in the corner.

Ha Ji-won was sitting on the right side of the long table near the whiteboard. Just as Ki Yo-gu had imagined, Ha Ji-won looked the same as she did in the movie Haeundae.

"Hello"

Ha Ji-won took the initiative to stand up and greet Qi Yaojiu.

Her short hair flutters in the wind, and at first glance she doesn't look like a martial arts actor at all. You can't tell she's over 30 years old, and her whole body exudes the aura of a young girl.

Qi Yaojiu responded: "Hello."

Ha Ji-won stood there with her hands a little flustered, pointing here and there. It seemed that she wanted to invite Qi Yaojiu to sit down, but she didn't know how to start.

Qi Yaojiu walked straight to the seat in front of the whiteboard, pulled out a chair and said, "Please sit down."

Ha Ji-won nodded slightly and waited for Ki Yo-gu to sit down before sitting down again.

Qi Yaojiu said, "I am Qi Yaojiu, the producer of the TV series "Secret Garden."

"rub"

Ha Ji-won stood up again and introduced herself formally: "Hello, PDnim, I'm actress Ha Ji-won. Please take care of me."

Seeing her humble attitude, Ki Yo-gu thought that Ha Ji-won would act like a big shot. After all, Ha Ji-won is not a new actress, and she has just gained a lot of attention through "Haeundae".

It is normal for young actors to feel impetuous after experiencing temporary success. The fact that Ha Ji-won can remain so humble makes Ki Yo-gu look at her with new eyes.

Perhaps this is also because many actors follow the attitude that acting is just a profession, so these people often go smoothly and far on the road of acting.

With a press of his hand, Qi Yaojiu motioned Ha Zhiyuan to sit down.

When their eyes met, Ha Ji-won shyly covered her mouth and chuckled. She would only look at Ji Yaojiu for two seconds at most before looking away.

Qi Yaojiu asked jokingly, "Is there something on my face?"

Ha Ji-won waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, nothing."

The joke did not ease the atmosphere and bring Ki Yoo-gu and Ha Ji-won closer. Ki Yoo-gu went straight to the point and asked, "Ha Ji-won, do you have anything to ask me? About the TV series?"

Ha Ji-won hasn't fully recovered yet.

At this moment, her mind was full of information about Qi Yaojiu.

First of all, he is really young and very handsome. In Country H, there are not many handsome boys with single eyelids.

Secondly, Qi Yaojiu is very consistent with some rumors in the circle, such as he has a stability that is beyond his age and a natural leadership, which is reflected in the majesty he exudes when interacting with people.

"Ha Ji-won Xi?"

With the call of Qi Yaojiu echoing in her ears, Ha Zhiyuan finally came back to her senses and subconsciously looked up at Qi Yaojiu. One second, two seconds, she lowered her head slightly and looked away before saying, "What's wrong with PDnim?"

Qi Yaojiu continued, "Do you have anything to ask me at the broadcasting station today? About the TV series?"

Ha Ji-won sat up straight and responded, "Yes, Director Jin Huizhu showed me the script. It includes the setting of the heroine and the hero's soul swapping, as well as the profession setting of the martial arts actor..."

After chatting for about ten minutes, Qi Yaojiu answered all of Ha Ji-won's questions.

There are more soul-swapping plots. Ha Ji-won is worried that she will not be able to play the role of a man well. There is also the temptation of changing clothes in the script. Ha Ji-won is also worried that she will not be able to do it well.

It is certain that there were concerns before filming, but these concerns of Ha Ji-won were nothing to Ki Yo-gu. At least she didn't worry about her action scenes being shot poorly, so that was OK.

Because of the auditions, Ki Yoo-gu didn't have much time to discuss the plot with Ha Ji-won. He simply agreed with Ha Ji-won that she would start learning the daily life and work of a martial arts stuntman. Ki Yoo-gu also recommended a martial arts director, who was originally invited to join the crew's martial arts guidance team.

As for the rest, it’s not too late to discuss it after the auditions and casting are completed and the actors gather for the first script reading.

"dong dong dong"

"PDnim, the audition is about to start."

Qi Yaojiu stood up and said goodbye to Ha Ji-won. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Ha Ji-won: "Ha Ji-won Xi is the best actress, there will be no problem."

Ha Ji-won didn't even have time to say thank you. When her agent came in to find her, Ha Ji-won looked at her agent and said, "Oppa, am I the best actress?"

The agent answered affirmatively: "Of course, in my heart you are better than Song Hye Kyo, Kim Tae Hee, and Son Ye Jin."

"Really?"

"Well, really."

"But I still can't compare to Jeon Do-yeon senior nim, Lee Young-ae senior nim, Kim Hye-soo senior nim and the others."

"You are prettier than them, really."

Ha Ji-won rolled her eyes and said speechlessly to her agent, "So Oppa is saying that I'm not as pretty as Song Hye-kyo, Kim Tae-hee, and Son Ye-jin, and that my acting skills aren't as good as Jeon Do-yeon, Lee Young-ae, and Kim Hye-soo?"

Without hesitation, the agent pulled a phone from He's pocket and put it to his ear, saying, "Yes, I'm actress Ha Ji-won's agent. Is it a TV series? I think I can arrange it soon. Could you please send me the script so we can discuss it?"

As he was talking, the agent disappeared in the meeting room.

Ha Ji-won quickly chased after him.

Auditionees were already lined up in the corridor.

Many people saw Ha Ji-won, some were surprised, some admired her, some were envious, and some were curious.

Ha Ji-won could only lower her head and quicken her pace to leave. In front of strangers, Ha Ji-won was still very introverted. On the contrary, in front of acquaintances...

The voice of the broadcasting station staff echoed in the corridor, shouting: "Everyone, the auditions are about to begin. Everyone has one minute to perform. Please enter according to the queue. Come on."

One minute.

For countless people who dream of becoming an actor, every minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage.

Absolute fairness does not exist, but you must seize this one-minute opportunity to show your acting skills. Once you are noticed by the producer, you will be considered a success.

"Whoo~"

"come on"

Various voices of support came one after another.

The person in the first position straightened his chest.

She was confident that she would rather be the first person to audition than the last one in line, so that she could leave the deepest impression on the production team when they were most awake.

The people in front were entering and exiting the large conference room used for today's auditions.

Almost none of them took more than a minute, which made the people in the back even more nervous and uneasy.

"Prepare for the 19th."

Looking down, Liu Inna glanced at her number plate.

Number 19 is me.

I took a deep breath to calm my nervous mood, and when I looked up, No. 18 in front of me had already entered the meeting room.

Liu Inna, who was standing at the door, pricked up her ears and tried to hear what was going on inside, but unfortunately she could hear nothing.

"Dong dong, dong dong"

My heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and after about a minute, number 18 came out with a frustrated expression, as if he was not satisfied with his performance.

"go in."

"Ok."

After taking another deep breath, Liu Inna took a long breath and walked into the audition room with firm steps.
