Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 45: PD Qi, how about challenging yourself to shoot a TV series?

Life returned to normal.

Yeouido, K Broadcasting Station Headquarters.

Qi Yaojiu strolled into the first floor lobby of the broadcasting station with a bag of Chinese flower tea that he had bought when he was shopping for ingredients in Dalindong.

Although it was just past 8 o'clock in the morning, the people rushing in and out of the lobby on the first floor exuded an air of busyness.

The post-production editing of "Three Meals a Day" has been completed. Yesterday, before leaving the broadcasting station, Ki Yo-koo submitted the USB flash drive to Director Park Jong-min for review.

There are still about two months until the end of the year, and I am somewhat looking forward to Qi Yaojiu coming to the broadcasting station today.

The main thing is that it is not clear which department the Entertainment Center will transfer him to for support. It would be great if he returns to "Two Days and One Night". It always does no harm to communicate more with PD Luo Yingshi.

Third floor, office.

Qi Yaojiu, who had just made a cup of scented tea with boiling water, was called to the director's office before he could even take a sip.

"dong dong dong"

After knocking on the door three times, Director Park Jong-min's voice came from inside the room: "Come in."

"crunch"

After opening the door, Qi Yaojiu immediately saw Park Jongmin sitting in the main seat on the left side of the reception sofa.

However, in addition to Park Jong-min, there was also Director Kim Hye-joo of the K Broadcasting Station's TV Drama Center in the office.

Previously, Director Kim Hye-joo also participated in the final interview of the 34th public recruitment of PD, and had a brief communication with Qi Yaojiu.

Director Park Jong-min waved to Qi Yaojiu who was standing at the door and said, "You're here. Come and sit over here."

Qi Yaojiu was very confused.

Is Director Kim Hye-joo from the TV Drama Production Center here for business?

If the two directors were communicating about work, it would not be appropriate for him to enter the office now.

Director Kim Hye-joo let herself into the office and showed no intention of leaving. Could it be that this was related to her?

Kim Hye-joo took the initiative to greet Ki Yo-gu: "Chi PD, long time no see"

Qi Yaojiu politely responded: "Long time no see, Director-nim."

Jin Huizhu was a little surprised: "You know me?"

Qi Yaojiu said, "Who among the staff of the broadcasting station doesn't know Director Nim?"

Jin Huizhu nodded gently in agreement, "That's right. It's really troublesome not knowing who your boss is in the workplace."

Rough words are not rough.

Qi Yaojiu sat on the sofa on the right.

Director Park Jong-min said slowly, "I've seen 'Three Meals a Day' and it's scheduled to premiere at the end of October. I've already submitted it to Vice President Lee Won-jun and we just need his signature before we can schedule it."

Qi Yaojiu nodded gratefully.

In fact, this was also a consideration that Director Park Jong-min made specifically for Ki Yo-gu. He wanted the two new programs produced by Ki Yo-gu this year to participate in the competition for the first K Broadcasting Station Entertainment Awards.

Park Jong-min pointed at Kim Hye-joo who was sitting on the sofa on the left and said with a smile, "I've finished what I want to say, Director Kim Hye-joo, it's your turn."

These words made Qi Yaojiu, who was sitting opposite Director Jin Huizhu, frown.

The key point is that I chatted about similar topics with Lee Ji-eun while having dinner in the rental house last night.

IU was curious why Ki Yo-gu didn't interview for a TV drama director or a movie director, after all, this was more in line with Ki Yo-gu's expertise.

I never thought I would encounter this situation as soon as I arrived at the broadcasting station today.

Qi Yaojiu really felt that the system was causing trouble.

Just like a certain short video APP, people who watch videos just stay on a certain video for a long time, and the background big data will immediately analyze it and push more related videos.

The current system is the same. It must have heard the chat between IU and myself.

It is natural for entertainment PDs to produce entertainment programs, but there is no rule that entertainment PDs can only produce entertainment programs.

Qi Yaojiu's resume shows that he graduated from the Film Department of Hanyang University, so whether he can produce a TV drama system is not considered.

Director Kim Hye-joo first smiled at Ki Yo-gu and said, "PD Ki has been really busy lately. He doesn't look well."

Qi Yaojiu relaxed his brows, smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's not hard, I'm fine."

Then Kim Hye-joo got straight to the point: "I also believe that young people should be full of energy. Today I came here mainly to talk to PD Qi about TV drama production."

Here it comes. It really is like that.

Kim Hye-joo was talking, and Ki Yo-gu was listening and recalling in his mind.

The main quest must be completed.

Qi Yaojiu would not refuse, and there was no reason to refuse.

But it’s already the end of October, so if we want to produce a TV series, we have to wait until at least next year to prepare for its broadcast.

Next year's H drama.

The first thing that came to mind for Qi Yaojiu was "Boys Over Flowers"

Like the T Province TV remake of "Meteor Garden" that became popular in China in the early 2000s, both are adapted from the manga "Boys Over Flowers" created by Japanese cartoonist Kamio Yoko.

But it should be too late in terms of time. I remember that the H country remake of "Boys Over Flowers" will be broadcast at the beginning of next year. At this stage, the director and screenwriter have already entered the casting process.

In addition to "Boys Over Flowers", other well-known H-dramas next year include "You're Beautiful", "IRIS", "Queen Seondeok", "City Hall", "Shining Legacy", etc.

"IRIS" is a spy war type. Although Qi Yaojiu immediately thought of the heroine Kim Tae-hee, Qi Yaojiu didn't want to touch the themes of spy war, military, ancient costumes, etc. in H country at all.

The same reason applies to the drama "Queen Seondeok", which was directly rejected by Ki Yo-gu in his mind.

Only "City Hall" and "Brilliant Legacy" remain

I remember that "City Hall" was starred by Cha Seung-won. Because of "Three Meals a Day", Ki Yo-gu and Cha Seung-won are now good brothers in private.

The leading actress is Kim Sun-a, who once starred in "My Name is Kim Sam-soon".

The play is a good one, but it doesn't seem like the kind of content that someone of my age could write.

"The Brilliant Legacy" is great in every way.

The ratings should be number one throughout the year.

The heroine, Han Hyo Joo, is a beautiful lady with great temperament. She seems to have been born in 87, one year younger than me. She is quite good looking.

Protagonist...

Ki Yo-gu doesn't hate Lee Seung-gi. In fact, Lee Seung-gi is really a caring youngest brother in "Two Days and One Night". He is also very kind to all the staff and his character is fine.

Ki Yoo-gu also doesn't like Lee Seung-gi, and those who know the reason will understand.

"PD Qi, are you listening to me?"

Director Jin Huizhu's words interrupted Qi Yaojiu's thoughts.

Retracting his thoughts, Qi Yaojiu looked at Director Jin Huizhu and said, "I'm listening."

Director Kim Hye-joo continued, "I thought PD Ki was feeling too much pressure."

Qi Yaojiu subconsciously glanced at Park Jongmin.

I was listening, but I didn't hear what was said specifically.

Director Park Jong-min had a keen eye and repeated the key points, "Director Kim Hye-joo, I don't want to bury your talent. Although you're a newcomer to the broadcasting station, the two new programs you've produced are indeed the most talented and capable among the new PDs in recent years."

"Drama shows and variety shows are different. I believe you know this better than I do. This is a challenge for you and also an opportunity to improve yourself. I think you should be brave and try it."

Fortunately, no one else was mentioned. It was a TV series, so...

"Ding"

The familiar system prompt sounded in my mind, and sure enough, the main task was here.

Kim Hye-joo crossed her legs, clasped her hands on her thighs, and looked at Ki Yo-gu with a smile.

She was waiting for an answer.

Qi Yaojiu didn't let Director Jin Huizhu wait too long. It was only five seconds before Qi Yaojiu said slowly: "Director nim, just like I said during the interview, TV series, movies, and variety shows, I am OK with it."

Kim Hye-joo's smile widened as she casually said, "From the tone of PD Qi, does that mean he has a good script in hand?"

Qi Yaojiu shook his head and said, "The script should be ready by the end of the year, and filming will start in the first half of next year. It will become the most popular drama in the ratings for the whole year."

When Qi Yaojiu said this confidently, Director Jin Huizhu and Director Park Jongmin looked at each other quickly.

Director Park Jong-min echoed, "If PD Ki has the confidence, then it will be possible, but the prerequisite is that the drama production center fully supports PD Ki, just like the entertainment center fully supports PD Ki."

At that moment, Qi Yaojiu's eyes changed when he looked at Park Jongmin. This leader is smart.

Suddenly I began to understand why my colleagues in the same group shouted "Unlimited Allegiance to K Broadcasting Station" during the interview.

　Our slogan is: Double harvest of career and love, from the second generation to the fifth generation
