Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 37 "Three Meals a Day" Production Meeting
X Apartment, Yeongdeungpo.

When Choi In-young, director of the S Broadcasting Station's Entertainment Center, returned home from get off work and saw the shoes at the entrance, she knew that her beloved daughter had returned home.

Choi In-young put her bag on the shoe cabinet, changed into slippers, and strode towards the living room.

"Our daughter is back."

I saw Choi Jinna lying on the sofa, but I didn't hear any response from her.

Choi In-young felt anxious and hurried to the sofa, put her hand on Choi Jin-na's arm and shook it gently twice.

Fortunately, Choi Jinna woke up.

Mumbling in a daze: "Mom"

Choi In-young took off Choi Jin-na's headphones and asked, "You must be tired from the business trip."

Rubbing her eyes, Choi Jinna opened her arms for a hug.

Gently stroking her daughter's hair, Choi In Young asked, "Is everything going well?"

Choi Jina half-sat up, resting her head on Choi In-young's shoulder, and said with a happy smile, "It's going well. I've been well taken care of by a grandma these days. Mom, you don't know how comfortable life on an island is. The sunrise and sunset every day are beautiful."

"I also learned how to fish. Sitting on the rocks and fishing can make you forget all your worries. And..."

Choi In-young listened to everything her daughter shared, but the tone of the picture gradually changed.

"Daughter, is the Ki Yo-gu you're talking about the lead PD of the K Broadcasting Station's 'New Journey to the West'?"

Choi Jinna nodded and said, "Yes, that's him."

Choi In Young frowned slightly and said, "I remember you told me before that you would not work with that PD Ki Yoo-gu anymore."

Choi Jinna was stunned for a moment.

After completing the subsequent editing and production work of "New Journey to the West", Choi Jinna complained to Choi In-young about Ki Yo-gu at home.

When Choi In-young asked about this, Choi Jin-na hesitated, "Really? Mom must have remembered it wrongly."

Choi In-young asked tentatively, "So this time you're on a business trip for the new program planned by PD Ki Yo-gu?"

Choi Jina moved aside, put on her slippers, and stood up while saying, "Mom, we are competitors. The broadcasting station's new plans are a secret. I brought back clams and kelp from Wancai Island. I'll cook for you tonight."

Looking at Choi Jinna's "escaping" back, Director Choi In-young did not stop Choi Jinna or continue asking questions.

Choi In-young, sitting alone on the sofa, shook her head slowly.

She is an experienced person and can definitely see many things more clearly than Choi Zhenna.

In addition, those involved in the matter are often confused while those on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Choi Jinna herself didn't even realize what kind of eyes and expression she had when she mentioned Ji Yo-jiu.

The previous dislike has disappeared and turned into admiration for Qi Yaojiu.

Choi Jinna probably doesn't even remember what she said just now, but Choi Inyoung remembers that she felt like her baby daughter was about to fall in love.

During a warm dinner, Choi In-young still made some indirect inquiries.

I jokingly asked Choi Jina if she had someone she liked. After graduating from university and successfully joining the broadcasting station and signing a formal contract, it was time for her to plan for her own happiness.

In the past, whenever Choi Jinna mentioned topics like love, love, happiness, etc., she would immediately show absolute resistance. This was also related to the environment in which Choi In-young divorced her ex-husband and raised Choi Jinna alone.

But when these topics were brought up again tonight, Choi Jina acted as if she was thinking seriously, although her answers did not change.

Late September.

Yeouido, K Broadcasting Station Headquarters.

Third floor, Arts Center.

Bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time in the meeting room with "Three Meals a Day" pasted on the door with an A4 paper.

"Click"

The door opened and writer Lee Eun-young and assistant writer walked out of the conference room.

In the hallway, writer Lee Eun-young instructed her assistant writer to buy something. "Happy Together" producer Kim Nam, passing by, peeked curiously through the crack in the conference room door.

At this time, Yoo Jae Suk raised the frame of his glasses and said to Ki Yoo Gu who was sitting opposite him, "Ki PDnim, to be honest, the only people who can cook on "Family Outing" are Hyori and Ye Jin. Although I have made breakfast, the taste of the food is really hard to describe."

Qi Yaojiu nodded and said, "That's why we invited Cha Seung-won-xi to work with you on 'Three Meals a Day' instead of inviting Kang Dae-sung, who had a great chemistry with you on 'Family Outing'."

Yoo Jae Suk asked, "Will my role in 'Three Meals a Day' still be a supporting role? Will each episode invite different guests to experience island life?"

It wasn't just Yoo Jae Suk who looked at Ki Yo Gu and waited for an answer after asking the question.

The rest of the production team also looked at Qi Yaojiu.

Qi Yaojiu waved his hand and said, "If every episode invited different guests to experience island life, it would be no different from "Family Outing"."

"is it?"

"Yes, our show, like 'New Journey to the West,' is planned and produced in seasons. Each season consists of only eight episodes, filmed over five days and four nights. Our main goal is to give viewers a healing experience."

"Through the bickering between Yoo Jae Suk and Cha Seung Won, preparing three meals a day together, fishing, playing games, and competing with the production team, we create different kinds of fun for the audience."

Yoo Jae Suk understood what Ki Yo Gu meant.

In fact, the nature of variety shows is not much different, and innovation itself is a difficult thing.

Qi Yaojiu's "New Journey to the West" was indeed eye-opening, but this "Three Meals a Day" did not bring any further surprises.

As the MC of many programs, Yoo Jae Suk had the program scenes engraved in his mind just by hearing what Ki Yo-gu said, and even thought of some scenes of interaction with Cha Seung-won.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door, and the assistant writer came back with coffee and sandwiches.

Coincidentally, Cha Seung-won also arrived.

After a brief greeting, the first thing Cha Seung-won said after sitting down was: "Why would PDnim think of inviting me to appear on a variety show? I'm worried that I won't do well."

Before Ki Yo-gu could speak, Yoo Jae-seok said, "Cha is too modest. 'Family Outing' fully showcased Cha's variety show sense."

Cha Seung-won's lips curled up, as if he was waiting for this sentence. He raised his eyebrows slightly to confirm with Yoo Jae-suk: "Really? Are you really that good?"

Yoo Jae-suk laughed and said, "I think Cha just wants to hear praise."

Cha Seung Won didn't deny it and spread his hands: "Everyone likes to be praised, right?"

Cha Seung Won said as he looked at Ki Yo Gu: "PDnim, am I right?"

Qi Yaojiu responded with a smile: "Yes, now that everyone is here, let's start discussing the content of the program while drinking coffee and eating. I also want to hear if you two have any good suggestions."

Thinking of something, Qi Yaojiu looked at Choi Jinna who was sitting next to him and said, "By the way, let me formally introduce Cha Seung-won Xi. This is our main PD of "Three Meals a Day," Choi Jinna."

Cha Seung-won was stunned for a moment. Wasn't the lead PD Ki Yo-gu? But he still greeted Choi Jin-na.

Choi Jinna didn't refute, and she was even a little used to being introduced by Ki Yo-gu as the main PD.

This time she went on a business trip to Wancai Island. She did so many things that she could be called the main PD.

After introducing Ki Yo-gu, he pushed Choi Jin-na out.

In addition to listening to the suggestions of Yoo Jae-seok and Cha Seung-won, Choi Jin-na spent the rest of the time communicating with the two, including introducing the basic situation of Wancai Island, the filming environment, and what more meaningful things can be done on Wancai Island after comprehensive suggestions.
Throughout the whole process, Qi Yaojiu listened quietly with his hands folded across his chest.

During the show, Yoo Jae Suk and Cha Seung Won went to the restroom and asked each other, "Isn't PD Ki from Wancai Island? Why is it always PD Choi who is explaining the situation?"

Ki Yo-gu, who stayed in the meeting room, also said to Choi Jin-na during this time, "PD Choi, the filming plan we just mentioned must be implemented immediately after arriving at Wanjae Island. Also, PD Choi, don't forget to dry the fish, pick up kelp, and clean up."

Choi Jinna rolled her eyes at Ki Yo-jiu.

This guy is so stingy, it's obvious that he is taking revenge on me.

However, Choi Jinna was not worried at all. The reason why she did not argue with Ji Yaojiu was because she had a backer in Wancai Island.

It is not certain who will dry the fish, pick up kelp and clean up at that time.
