Peninsula: The Great Producer

TVN Broadcasting Station has made a good calculation, or perhaps this is how real society is. If you feel speechless and wronged, it is because your social and workplace status is still too low.

Ki Yo-gu's fame in the broadcasting station is rising, but he is just a talented producer that people talk about, not an absolute ratings guarantee or box office guarantee with countless classic representative works.

Even if he is, no one would dare to bet their future and job on others easily. The moment they consider themselves, there will be no one in the world who is trustworthy.

This time, TVN's adaptation of the novel of the same name "The Sun Embracing the Moon" is an important project related to personnel changes in the TVN Broadcasting Station Drama Production Center next year. Director Kim Jae-in specifically sought help from Lee Myung-han, and finally Ki Yo-gu was recommended.

Just as Ji Yaojiu thought, Director Jin Zairen had already begun to avoid risks, even though he had taken the initiative to ask Li Minghan to find Ji Yaojiu, and even though he expressed his absolute trust in Ji Yaojiu in front of Ji Yaojiu and all the directors and screenwriters of the production team.

During the brief call, Han Ga In did not mention anything about risk aversion. She just wanted to confirm with Ki Yo Gu whether the co-starring actor was really a newcomer or the result was undecided.

Qi Yaojiu did not mention risk aversion on the phone, but only told Han Ga-in that TVN Broadcasting Station had focused on the primary and secondary positioning of the roles among the actors originally invited.

The most outstanding and important character in this adapted TV series is the heroine. The hero’s role is certainly important, but apart from depicting the emotional line between the hero and heroine, his other roles are not outstanding.

It is a costume palace drama, and the male lead is the prince who inherits the throne. Emotions are inherently weak in the palace, so finding a newcomer to partner with the female lead in the emotional scenes will have a better effect.

Ki Yo-gu said frankly that this was his suggestion, but the final decision on whether to use the suggested actor still needs to be made by TVN Broadcasting Station.

The implication was obvious, and Han Ga-in understood it. In fact, she didn't want to decline the invitation to the new drama. She wanted to confirm whether the drama was coordinated by Ki Yo-gu as the TVN Broadcasting Station said.

Whether the script is suitable and whether the co-actor has acting skills are factors to consider when starring in a work, but the most important thing is the ability of the production team.

Han Ga-in has never met Ki Yo-gu in person, nor has she ever worked with him. She knows Ki Yo-gu because, firstly, Han Ga-in likes to watch the variety show "Three Meals a Day" produced by Ki Yo-gu, and secondly, the drama "Shining Inheritance" filmed by Ki Yo-gu this year was so popular that every H countryman knows about it.

Han Ga-in was actually looking forward to the opportunity to work with Ki Yo-gu, but after the call, her expectations were lowered a bit.

In front of the computer.

Qi Yaojiu was not in a good mood.

The search page is still stuck on the search results related to Kim Soo Hyun's name.

Originally, Ki Yo-gu did not suggest using certain newcomers in order to have more good stories in the future, nor did he want to leave a reputation as a Midas touch in the broadcasting and entertainment circles. He simply wanted to restore the structure of a drama.

Everyone will encounter opportunities. Even without the appearance of Ki Yo-gu, the male and female protagonists of this drama will still be Kim Soo-hyun and Han Ga-in. It’s just that Kim Soo-hyun will have to wait a few more years to accumulate more filming experience before becoming famous.

Glancing at the USB drive on the desk on the left, he suddenly remembered that it contained the program videos prepared by all the idol groups and solo singers for this year's "Gayo Daejesai", including the stages of B4 and G7 that Ji Yaojiu was concerned about. In fact, Ji Yaojiu had not seen the confirmed version, so he happened to have time to take a look now.

Link to the USB drive, the performance videos submitted by each idol group and solo singer are marked with the individual's stage name or team name.

It is not sorted by popularity, but by alphabetical order.

Qi Yaojiu did not deliberately watch the ones she was interested in first, but started watching them in order from the first girl idol group After School.

The melodies are all very familiar, and even Qi Yaojiu can hum a few lines. Many stages have newly choreographed dances prepared, and the formal song performance will only begin after the end of a performance.

They all showcased their signature works, like After School's debut hit "DIVA." In Ki Yo-gu's memory, After School also had another song with a pole dance performance that became a hit. Furthermore, After School's sub-units seemed even more memorable. Ki Yo-gu couldn't remember the names of the three members, but it seems one of them was even voted the world's most beautiful person of that year.

Time passes minute by minute.

Big office.

Choi Jina stood beside Lee Eun-young's desk and asked, "What happened to that person?"

Li Enying was stunned for a moment.

She also couldn't understand what had happened between Ki Yo-gu and Choi Jin-na, and why their relationship had become even more distant than when they were at the broadcasting station.

Or maybe Choi Jina's positioning of Ki Yoo-gu has changed, from the former Ki Yoo-gu PD, Ki Yoo-gu to the current person.

Choi Jina used to be extremely concerned about where Ji Yaojiu went and what he did, but it was almost half a year ago that Choi Jina asked about Ji Yaojiu for the first time.

Li Enying was in a daze for a moment. Choi Zhenna waved her hand and said, "Forget it, Enying, I have the background music you used before..."

Li Enying wanted to say something, but Choi Zhenna immediately turned the topic to work.

The "Shinhwa Broadcasting" she planned is expected to be broadcast in December and is about to enter the shooting stage. Choi Jina has put all her thoughts into it.

Li Enying also speculated that maybe it was because Ji Yaojiu was too outstanding, so Choi Zhenna felt that if she was ordinary and common, she would not be worthy of Ji Yaojiu, so she worked so hard to succeed in something to prove herself.

I secretly looked at Choi Zhenna and it didn't seem like that was the case. She used to dress up, but now she just does whatever she wants and is bare-faced most of the time.

Could it be that during the dinner party for the show, Choi Jina learned some secret about Ki Yo-gu, about his relationship with those beautiful young women like Kang Min-kyung, Park Ji-yeon, Goo Hara, Choi Sulli, and Lee Ji-eun?

Feelings are too complicated.

After Choi Jinna left, Lee Eun-young quietly went to the door of Ki Yo-gu's office.

Through the door, Li Enying listened carefully to the movements inside.

It wasn't anything special, just music playing. I could vaguely hear Ki Yo-gu singing, and it seemed to be the song "Fire" by 2ne1, a new girl idol group launched by YG Entertainment this year.

If Lee Eun-young knocks on the office door, she will see Ki Yo-gu not only singing along but also waving his hands and dancing.

The point is, what Ki Yo-gu watched was not 2ne1's performance video, but the video of Bigbang, a male idol group from the same company, performing Fire.

After the song ended, Qi Yaojiu was very satisfied.

It has to be said that the heyday of the second-generation groups is the most significant period in the history of the H-stream, a period of true flourishing and contention among schools of thought. (End of this chapter)
