Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 46 Did PD Qi and Han Hyo Joo know each other before?
Director Park Jong-min said it was trust, and it can be considered trust.

But it's more about face. If the PD of the entertainment center can really produce a TV series with the highest ratings throughout the year, no one will say anything to him, the director of the entertainment department, who can walk around the broadcasting station with his head held high.

If the result is not like that, it has nothing to do with Director Park Jong-min. At most, when he wants to protect Ki Yo-gu, he can just make an excuse like the entertainment PD is still inexperienced in producing TV dramas.

Director Kim Hye-joo left the office first.

Only Ki Yo-gu and Director Park Jong-min were left. Ki Yo-gu then asked Park Jong-min, "Director-nim, the post-production of 'Three Meals a Day' is finished. Who will be next?"

Park Jong-min laughed and said, "Hasn't it been arranged just now? Although you don't have to go to the TV Drama Production Center to work, you are now seconded to the TV Drama Production Center, so your only job at the moment is to write scripts."

Got a bargain?
Qi Yaojiu really didn't think that agreeing to produce a TV series was equivalent to finding an excuse for himself to take a vacation.

After taking a sip of coffee, Director Park Jong-min continued, "As I said before, I know you're talented, PD Ki, and you understand the difference between producing a variety show and a TV drama better than I do. I promised you my full support, and it's not just talk."

Ki Yo-gu looked at Park Jong-min curiously.

Park Jong-min's face was full of arrogance, and his next words really surprised Qi Yaojiu.

All major broadcasting stations have cooperating TV drama writers.

For example, Kim Eun-sook, a gold medal TV drama writer who collaborated with S Broadcasting Station, set a record of 56.3% viewership rating for her masterpiece "Lovers in Paris" that year.

For example, Kim Young-hyun, the gold medal TV drama writer who cooperated with M Broadcasting Station, not only set a record of 57.8% in the representative work "Dae Jang Geum", but also sold the broadcasting rights to many countries and regions.

K Broadcasting Station also has a very good relationship with cooperating TV drama writers. He is very famous in the TV drama writer circle, and the TV dramas he produced have influenced a generation of young people.

The writers are twins, and those familiar with them in the circle call them the Hong sisters. Their representative works are classics including "Boys Over Flowers", "My Girl", "Dream Couple" and "Hong Gil-dong: The Fast Sword".

Of course, there are far more than these. Just now, when talking with Director Kim Hye-joo about TV drama production, one of the TV dramas that Ki Yo-gu had in mind was "You're Beautiful", which seemed to be produced by the Hong sisters.

Park Jong-min introduced these well-known TV drama writers not to make Ji Yaojiu someone on par with them, but to tell Ji Yaojiu that he has a good relationship with the Hong sisters in private, and he can recommend Ji Yaojiu and the Hong sisters to get to know each other. After all, Ji Yaojiu just graduated from school and has no experience in TV drama production. With a teacher, he can get started faster and do better.

Qi Yaojiu naturally would not refuse such a good thing, and Park Jongmin immediately called Hong Jingen, one of the Hong sisters.

We met and had dinner together in the evening.

It was not until the next day when Qi Yaojiu went to the Hong sisters' studio that he realized that his previous guess was correct.

Not only is "Boys Over Flowers" in the early stages of filming preparations, the Hong sisters are also halfway through creating the TV series "You're Beautiful."

This makes Qi Yaojiu a little unsure whether the script of "Shining Legacy" will be released or not.

Seizing the time is the only thing Qi Yaojiu can do. The Hong sisters are also very caring towards Qi Yaojiu, a newcomer who is not a formal junior.

For almost a month, Ki Yo-gu didn't care about "Three Meals a Day" at all. He just received messages from writer Lee Eun-young and others every week informing them of the ratings results and audience feedback.

There were witnesses, and within this month, Qi Yaojiu successfully completed the script of "Shining Legacy".

The end of April.

Yeouido, K Broadcasting Station Headquarters.

5th floor, TV drama production center.

Qi Yaojiu came with the Hong sisters.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the three of them as they walked into the large office together.

undoubtedly.

The appearance of the Hong sisters means that another hit TV series is about to be released.

The appearance of Ki Yo-gu is more of a curiosity. People are curious whether this variety show PD who created a new star myth can really produce a TV series and the ratings of the TV series will create a myth like the variety show he produced.

There was constant whispering.

The Hong sisters also heard some discussions about Qi Yaojiu.

In the field of variety shows, Ki Yo-gu is indeed the only new PD in K Broadcasting Station in decades who was able to produce two programs with an average viewership rating of more than 15% right after joining the company and completing the internship period. At the same time, the copyrights of the two variety shows produced by Ki Yo-gu were successfully sold, which is a legend.

In the field of television dramas, at least in the eyes of the Hong sisters, Ki Yoo-gu can also create miracles. In the month they spent together, the Hong sisters felt Ki Yoo-gu's talent more directly than anyone else.

Often in some casual chat conversations, Qi Yaojiu can always come up with some good suggestions.

During the creation of "You're Beautiful," the Hong sisters stopped arguing at least three times thanks to Ki Yo-gu's suggestions.

The Hong sisters were also surprised by "The Brilliant Legacy" written by Ki Yoo-gu. They felt that this work should not have been written by someone of Ki Yoo-gu's age, but he wrote it.

meeting room.

Director Jin Huizhu's face was full of joy.

One reason is the anticipation for Ki Yao-gu's work, and the second reason is that having the Hong sisters' new work means having a minimum guarantee.

Ki Yo-gu felt a little nervous when Kim Hye-joo was chatting with the Hong sisters.

I'm just afraid that if another screenwriter has already shown the script of "Shining Legacy" to Kim Hye-joo, it would be troublesome.

"PD Qi first?"

Qi Yaojiu nodded and plugged the USB drive into the laptop connected to the projector.

Qi Yaojiu didn't think much of it. The Hong sisters' reaction made Qi Yaojiu realize that projectors were not widely used at that time, and the broadcasting station only used projectors during important meetings.

Ki Yo-gu begins to introduce "Shining Legacy".

From the very beginning, I introduced the core story line, which was a one-sentence summary. I told Kim Hye-joo that "Shining Legacy" tells the story of the heroine Gao Enxing, who lost her father and her family in an instant, and who accidentally obtained the inheritance of the protagonist Xian Yuhuan's grandmother and moved towards success.

There was no interruption and no special reaction.

Qi Yaojiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then talked about several exciting parts of the story.

It was over, and Ki Yo-gu looked at Kim Hye-joo again.

Director Kim Hye-joo was silent for a few seconds before she spoke: "PD Ki is truly a genius."

As soon as he said this, Qi Yaojiu became even more certain that this drama would be labeled with Qi Yaojiu's name from now on.

The Hong sisters also briefly talked about the core storyline of "You're Beautiful".

After listening to this, Director Jin Huizhu said impatiently: "Now that the new work is written, I will start arranging the schedule."

The Hong sisters didn't say anything, and neither did Qi Yaojiu.

Are you arranging the schedule before the actors, budget, venue, and production team are all confirmed?

The Hong sisters didn't ask, so Qi Yaojiu could only keep these doubts in his heart for the time being.

When you go out, you have to give yourself face.

When it comes to professionalism, even if you are not professional, you must remain calm and not expose yourself.

The Hong sisters left the meeting room first.

Director Kim Hye-joo seemed to notice that Ki Yo-gu had many questions.

She guided Ki Yo-gu and asked, "PD Ki, are you looking for suitable actors for this drama?"

Qi Yaojiu nodded immediately.

It would be reasonable to determine these things first.

Looking at Kim Hye-joo, Ki Yoo-gu said slowly, "I want to invite actress Han Hyo-joo to play the role of the heroine Gao Enxing. When I created this character, I actually wrote it based on Han Hyo-joo."

Jin Huizhu raised her eyebrows and asked: "Did PD Qi and Han Hyo Joo know each other before?"
