Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 48: T-ara's early five members all dream of becoming actors

Ki Yo-jiu doesn't know much about Han Hyo-joo.

So before contacting Han Hyo Joo's agency, Qi Yaojiu searched for some information about Han Hyo Joo in the office.

Born in 87, his hometown is Cheongju City, North Chungcheong Province. He made his official debut in June 05 in the sitcom "Nonstop 6". He later starred in the TV series "Spring Waltz", the feature film "A Very Special Guest", the TV series "Higher than the Sky, Thicker than the Earth" and the TV series "Iljimae" which Ki Yo-gu is slightly more familiar with.

The latest news about Han Hyo Joo is that she just co-starred with TVXQ member Kim Jae Joong in the movie "Heaven's Postman", which won the first place in the pre-sale box office when it was released in the middle of this month.

As an actress, Han Hyo Joo's development has been quite smooth since her debut. The turning point was "Shining Inheritance", which made Han Hyo Joo famous.

The agency surprised Ki Yo-gu. After searching online, he found out that Han Hyo-joo is currently affiliated with CJ&M Entertainment, and actors Ha Seok-jin and others are also in the same company.

Isn’t CJ&M a mainstream media entertainment company under CJ Group?

Producer Lee Myung-han, who just left K Broadcasting Station, switched to TVN Cable Broadcasting Station under CJ&M Entertainment.

I never thought that CJ&M was involved in the artist management business.

Originally, Qi Yaojiu planned to meet Han Hyo Joo first.

The reason for this idea is entirely because Qi Yaojiu feels that he is a new director, and it is difficult to appoint a certain actor to play a certain role without any well-known representative works.

But just now when searching for Han Hyo Joo's information, Qi Yaojiu changed his mind.

The reason is simple.

First of all, Director Kim Hye-joo has confirmed that this drama is a self-produced production of the broadcasting station.

In other words, this drama will not be produced and broadcasted through investment from a production and distribution company, but will be produced and broadcasted in a profit-sharing model in cooperation with broadcasting stations.

Ensuring self-production means that all the resources and connections needed for the drama will be provided by the broadcasting station to support Qi Yao Jiu Station.

Actors, especially young actors, new actors and trainee actors who want to debut through TV dramas will rush to sign up as soon as they see the information about open auditions at the broadcasting station.

Secondly, this drama can really change a person's destiny. Qi Yaojiu hopes that Han Hyo Joo will be the candidate for the heroine. If Han Hyo Joo has a destiny with this drama, she will definitely sign up for the audition. If she does not sign up for the audition, it will be easier for Qi Yaojiu to invite her later when the popularity increases.

Qi Yaojiu almost forgot the last and most crucial point.

In the entertainment industry, especially in Country H, variety show PDs and TV drama and film directors and screenwriters have a very high status.

They are the ones who decide the fate of the artists. No artist will easily offend these people, let alone act like a big shot in front of them. This is exactly the opposite of the situation in China.

So after searching for Han Hyo Joo's information, Qi Yaojiu did not go out but stayed in the office.

Choi Jina, who was in charge of the auditions, was very efficient. At around three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the news of the open auditions for K Broadcasting Station's self-produced TV series appeared on the official website.

On the same day, K Broadcasting Station radio programs, entertainment news programs, etc. reported the news of open auditions for the self-produced drama.

into the night.

The lobby on the first floor of the rental building in Sangam-dong.

At the elevator entrance, Qi Yaojiu pressed the up button and waited for the elevator.

"Click, crunch"

The door of the building opened and a burst of discussion came into Qi Yaojiu's ears.

“I want to try it.”

"I want, too"

"But will our agent, Oppa, agree to let us audition?"

"Yeah, right? When you reviewed your performance at the end of the month, didn't you, Hyomin, Jiyeon, Jiwon, and Eunjung, all write about wanting to challenge your acting skills?"

"Ji-ah unnie, what about you?"

“Actually, I wrote it.”

Here the style of painting suddenly changes.

Although Qi Yaojiu had his back to the building entrance, he could tell that the person speaking was Park Ji-yeon.

"Ouni, that person..."

The chaotic footsteps disappeared, and the sudden silence added a bit of weirdness.

There were five people in the group, all opening their mouths, but no one made a sound.

From eyes, expressions, body language to lip reading, everyone's focus was on Qi Yaojiu who was waiting for the elevator.

Even Park Ji-yeon and Park Hyo-min pulled Yang Ji-won and Lee Ji-ah, who were walking in front, respectively.

The elevator reaches the first floor.

The five people watched Qi Yaojiu walk into the elevator car.

The next moment, the five people reacted in the same way and turned their heads away from his sight.

Park Ji-yeon was very sure that at that moment she had made eye contact with the man living in room 1518.

"what's the situation?"

"Let that person go first."

"Why? He's a human, not a ghost. What are you afraid of?"

It was Ham Eun-jung who expressed doubts. She turned around and walked away, saying, "Please wait a moment," and calmly walked towards the elevator in the surprised gazes of the other four people.

Qi Yaojiu pressed the door open button and took two steps back after Xian Enjing entered the elevator.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome"

Xian Enjing reached out and pressed the door button, shouting to the other four people still standing in the hall: "What are you doing? Come up."

Among the four, Lee Ji-ah whispered, "Yeah, why should we be afraid of that person?"

Yang Zhiyuan echoed, "I don't know either. Hyomin and Jiyeon, you're so timid."

Park Hyomin and Park Jiyeon looked at each other.

It's not just because I'm timid, it's more because I'm embarrassed.

They were involved in the last elevator incident and still clearly remember what Qi Yaojiu said at his doorstep.

Following Lee Ji-ah and Yang Ji-won into the elevator, Park Hyo-min and Park Ji-yeon stood at the door, trying to stay as far away as possible from Ki Yo-gu who was standing at the back right.

The elevator goes up.

At first there was silence in the elevator.

When they reached the fifth floor, Lee Ji-ah broke the silence and said, "I heard about it too. The director is a new director and was previously the entertainment director of K Broadcasting Station."

Yang Zhiyuan said, "A new director is actually better. I don't think those top actors will audition, which gives us more chances of success."

Standing next to Ki Yo-gu, Ham Eun-jung echoed, "Ji-won is right. If we succeed in the audition, it will definitely help us debut later. Previously, Kim Heechul from SJ debuted as an actor first, as did Im Yoona from Girls' Generation."

Lee Ji-ah continued, "So we need to think carefully about what role to audition for. I think it's fine as long as I have some lines, maybe a supporting role number three."

Yang Ji-won asked, "Why, unnie?"

Lee Ji-ah replied, "Even if it's an open audition, there will be many actors who sign up. We are still trainees. To be honest, if we can get a supporting role number 3, it will be a success."

"Ding"

The elevator reaches the 15th floor.

Park Hyomin and Park Jiyeon got out of the elevator immediately and walked quickly towards Room 1519 without looking back.

Lee Ji-ah and Yang Ji-won followed behind, then Ham Eun-jung, and the last one to get off the elevator was Ki Yo-gu.

When they reached the door of room 1518, Xian Enjing stopped and said to Qi Yaojiu who was about to open the door: "Thank you"

Qi Yaojiu smiled, shrugged and said, "You're welcome" before opening the door and entering the house.

Next door, room 1519.

Ham Eun-jung took off her shoes and walked into the living room and said, "I really don't understand why Jiyeon and Hyomin are scared. That person has a good personality and is very polite. By the way, Hyomin, don't you think that person is handsome? Ah, I get it. You and Jiyeon are different. Jiyeon is scared, and you are shy and dare not face it."

Room 1518.

Qi Yaojiu, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, heard the shouting from next door. It was not particularly clear, but he could make out the words "I am not something."

The sound insulation is not very good.

But are the people living next door really the future T-ara? They look different, and the number of people isn't right.
