Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 47 This woman won’t have any bad intentions towards me, right?

Of course, Ki Yo-gu and Han Hyo-joo don’t know each other.

It’s just that Qi Yaojiu thinks that Han Hyo Joo should play the heroine in this drama, and only Han Hyo Joo can play the kind of woman who is like a wild chrysanthemum.

I feel that Han Hyo Joo herself is the type of person who, although not gorgeous in appearance, has a pure and beautiful look that makes people more fascinated the more they look at her.

He is the kind of person who has a simple personality, is easy to trust others, and has a positive and optimistic attitude towards everything.

It was a preconceived impression. Qi Yaojiu remembered the scene where Han Hyo Joo starred in "Runningman", at least her personality was like that.

Director Kim Hye-joo waited for Ki Yo-gu's answer.

Qi Yaojiu spread his hands and said, "I don't know him."

"Really? Then why not just start the audition process and directly invite Han Hyo Joo?"

Qi Yaojiu didn't beat around the bush and just said, "It can only be Han Hyo Joo." He didn't give any further explanation.

Director Kim Hye-joo nodded gently and said, "Okay. The broadcasting station won't interfere with the casting. You'll have full authority to make all the decisions. You don't need to worry about the support needed for filming. Your new drama will be produced and aired in early February of next year (the timeline has been moved up). It's a broadcasting station production. Any other questions?"

There's no need to ask about actors, budget, and filming locations.

Qi Yaojiu asked Jin Huizhu: "Director-nim, production team?"

Kim Hye-joo asked Ki Yo-gu, "Don't you have your own production team?"

Can variety shows be the same as TV dramas?
Before Ki Yo-gu could ask, Kim Hye-joo added, "I'm transferring the camera crew from 'My Wife's Golden Era' to you. I won't make separate arrangements for the assistant PD, FD, and production staff. You know the broadcasting station has more than just your drama to produce."

What Qi Yaojiu needs is a camera crew. After all, the camera crew of a variety show and the camera crew of a TV drama crew have different shooting techniques, and the on-site experience required is completely different.

They had almost finished chatting, and before Ji Yaojiu left, Director Jin Huizhu asked Ji Yaojiu to confirm the audition time and report to her.

It will be produced and broadcast in early February next year, which is less than three months from now.

The selection of actors is not the most time-consuming thing for Qi Yaojiu. Other things that need to be taken care of include confirming the shooting location and coordinating the shooting period, determining the shooting equipment and crew schedules, whether a temporary venue needs to be built, preparing costumes and props, the actors' makeup plan, and coordinating with the actors on the later polishing of the script.

Return from the 5th floor to the 3rd floor.

In the entertainment center office, Qi Yaojiu summoned writer Li Enying, writer Jin, FD and others to the conference room.

In the conference room.

Everyone who was already familiar with each other was discussing with each other.

Writer Lee Eun-young asked Ki Yo-gu, "PDnim, are you planning to film a second season of 'New Journey to the West' or 'Three Meals a Day' or a new show?"

Qi Yaojiu did not answer, but asked first: "Where is PD Choi Jinna?"

Writer Lee Eun-young quickly said, "I'll go find PD Choi right away."

Raising his hand, Qi Yaojiu stopped Li Enying.

It was just a casual question. In fact, Choi Jinna just wanted to achieve something in the entertainment field and create a variety show with the exclusive Shinhwa label for her favorite group Shinhwa.

Choi Jinna is not familiar with TV dramas. She is a top student who graduated from the Department of Chemistry at Seoul University. If it weren't for her mother, Choi Jinna might not have been exposed to the entertainment industry.

Qi Yaojiu asked the FD who was closest to the conference room door to close it first, then looked at the people present and said, "Maybe you have heard about it too."

The reactions were similar, all of them muttering, “Is this true?”

Qi Yaojiu pressed his hand and continued, "I have indeed been preparing the script for the TV series for this month."

Even though they had heard about it before, everyone present was still shocked when they heard Qi Yaojiu say it in person.

Perhaps this is what is called genius.

A newcomer, he has appeared in two hit variety shows in just two months, and now he is crossing over to produce a TV series.

Qi Yaojiu glanced at the surprised crowd and said, "We are a team, but this time is different. Producing a TV series is even harder than producing a variety show. I won't force you to follow me. Today I just want to hear your opinions."

"Don't worry, Director Kim Hye-joo of the TV Drama Production Center will help me coordinate the manpower."

As soon as Qi Yaojiu finished speaking, the atmosphere and scene that only appeared at a swearing-in ceremony appeared.

Lee Eun-young raised her right hand and said, "I will follow PDnim unconditionally."

"Me too"

He was just short of saying that he would follow Qi Yaojiu until death.

"Think about it, it's really hard."

"Didn't PDnim say that we are a team, no matter what happens we will live and die together..." This slogan is really exaggerated, and only Lee Eun-young can shout it out.

"crunch"

The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

Choi Jinna stood at the door, frowning and asking, "What are you talking about? What about living and dying together?"

Li Enying immediately stood up and greeted happily: "Choi PDnim"

He took the opportunity to give up the seat next to Qi Yaojiu.

Choi Jinna looked confused. She sat next to Ki Yo-gu and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

Qi Yaojiu looked at Choi Jinna who suddenly appeared and asked, "Why is PD Choi here?"

As soon as the words came out, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Li Enying kept winking at others.

Qi Yaojiu shouldn't say that. Choi Zhenna is also a member of the team, and an important one.

Isn't that just asking for trouble? They've had their share of arguments before, so do they have to go to other productions and ask PD Choi Jina to come back, just like they did before? Is this the only way to go?
Surprisingly, Choi Jina was very calm and replied, "I was told to gather in the conference room, so I came."

Qi Yao opened his nine mouths.

He just opened his mouth, and everyone else stared at Qi Yaojiu nervously.

Fortunately, Qi Yaojiu said: "You didn't go to other production teams to help?"

Choi Jina slowly shook her head and said, "No, Director Park Jong-min-nim said you were preparing for a TV series, but you really weren't bragging during the interview."

The crowd who were nervous just now instantly turned into a crowd of spectators.

Any stories from the interview?

I know that Ki Yo-gu and Choi Jin-na joined K Broadcasting Station at the same time, but I didn't know that they were interviewed in the same batch.

Qi Yaojiu spread his hands and said, "I never brag."

Choi Jina chimed in, "So the script is finished?"

"Um"

"A month?"

"if not?"

"Are we going to prepare for production now?"

Qi Yaojiu was not polite and said slowly, "Since PD Choi is here, let's start arranging the work. PD Choi will be responsible for preparing the TV drama auditions, Writers Li and Kim will be responsible for coordinating the actors' makeup and costume design, and FD Kim Ji-hwan will be responsible for the shooting location and production management."

"I'll tell you all about the costume design and venue later."

"Director Jin Shengyun is also responsible for coordinating with the camera crew of "The Heyday of Wife" to confirm the preparations for the filming props and crew."

"February 2009, 2, is the final countdown date. Please provide feedback and adjustments immediately if you encounter any problems. Do you have any other questions?"

Everyone said that there was no problem, and it was obvious that everyone was very enthusiastic.

Choi Jina didn't have any problem with it either. She just said slowly, "It's obvious that our Qi Yaojiu PDnim is definitely in charge of inviting actors, right?"

Qi Yaojiu replied with three words, "Of course."

FD Kim Ji-hwan subconsciously said, "Isn't PD Choi in charge of the actor auditions?"

The conference room fell silent again.

Choi Jina broke the silence: "You don't understand, PD Kim? Actresses must be personally invited by our PD Ki Yo-gu to show their importance."

Qi Yaojiu did not refute, and followed Cui Zhenna's words and said, "That's right, the heroine must be invited by me personally. Let's go to work. I am also going to meet the actress."

The others stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

Choi Jina, who was left behind, said before leaving: "PD Ki, it's best for work."

"bang"

The conference room door closed.

Qi Yaojiu sat in the chair and touched his chin: "There's something wrong with Choi Jinna. She's very different from before. What did she mean by that last sentence she said? Jealousy? Envy? This woman won't have any bad intentions towards me, right?"
