Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 57: The first to get the moon is near the water and the tower.

On the second day of the open audition for the TV series "Shining Legacy", Ki Yoo-gu, who decided not to change the male lead of the TV series, met Lee Seung-gi in the conference room of the TV series production center on the 5th floor of K Broadcasting Station.

Because of their previous collaboration on "Two Days and One Night", the audition was just a formality.

In the meeting room where only Ki Yo-gu and Lee Seung-gi were present, Lee Seung-gi jokingly said to Ki Yo-gu, "The brothers actually guessed it right."

The brothers Lee Seung Gi mentioned are Kang Ho Dong, Lee Soo Geun, Eun Ji Won, Kim C and MC Mong who recorded "Two Days and One Night" together.

These five people told Lee Seung Gi that although they had not worked with Ki Yoo Gu for a long time, Ki Yoo Gu understood Lee Seung Gi's character and his seriousness and passion for his acting career.

Although he has been active as a singer for 4 years since his debut, Lee Seung Gi gained higher recognition after participating in "Two Days and One Night", but he will definitely get a role in the TV series produced by Ki Yo-gu.

As they chatted, Qi Yaojiu nodded and said, "For other directors, using a newcomer as the male lead might be a risk, but I think a good script is more important."

Lee Seung Gi echoed, "PDnim is right, it's actually good..."

"Wait a moment"

Coming back to his senses, Lee Seung Gi stared at Ki Yo Gu with wide eyes.

With his mouth open, he looked surprised.

Lee Seung Gi really thought he was hallucinating. He swallowed and confirmed, "Did PDnim just say the male lead?"

Qi Yaojiu said "hmm".

Lee Seung Gi then asked, "Are you referring to me as the new actor?"

Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "There are only two of us here, what do you think?"

Lee Seung Gi stood up directly from his chair.

He turned around twice, danced and swung his hands, and was extremely excited.

He opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a word, and finally walked directly to Qi Yaojiu and knelt down.

Yes.

Kneel down.

Qi Yaojiu was also shocked.

While reaching out to support Lee Seung Gi, he said, "What are you doing?"

Lee Seung Gi looked up at Ki Yo Gu who was bending down to support him and said sincerely, "Really, I really don't know how to thank PDnim."

Qi Yaojiu thought that even if he wanted to express his gratitude, he wouldn't have to kneel down.

A man has gold under his knees, but is it time to exchange it for gold so soon?

"stand up"

Li Shengben wanted to kowtow, but was stopped by Qi Yaojiu and could only stand up again. Then he bent down and bowed 90 degrees, saying, "Don't worry, PDnim, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it even if it means risking my life."

Qi Yaojiu patted Lee Seung-gi's shoulder and said, "Seung-gi, I can see your efforts and I believe what you say, but you don't have to work yourself to death. There's still more than a month left. All I ask of you is to read the script thoroughly and understand the role you're going to play."

Lee Seung Gi nodded continuously.

At the end, Qi Yaojiu gave a special instruction: "Remain humble and ask other senior actors for advice."

At this moment, Ki Yo-gu seemed so tall and majestic in Lee Seung-gi's eyes.

The day.

The core members of the "Two Days and One Night" team and PD Na Young-seok and others all learned that Lee Seung-gi had gotten the role of the male lead.

In addition to congratulations, everyone also sighed that Qi Yaojiu was worthy of being a member of "Two Days and One Night".

In terms of variety shows, "New Journey to the West" has further increased the popularity and recognition of Kang Ho-dong, Lee Soo-geun and Eun Ji-won overseas.

As for TV dramas, the upcoming "Brilliant Legacy" boldly uses Lee Seung-gi, who has no acting experience, as the male lead.

There are also those who secretly envy him, such as Kim C and MC Mong. They don't look forward to appearing in TV dramas, but they also want to appear in Ki Yoo-gu's next variety show.

After the male lead was decided, the female lead was also unexpectedly finalized.

Later that day, Han Hyo Joo went to the broadcasting station to participate in the open audition of "Shining Legacy".

In terms of performance, Han Hyo Joo did not leave any amazing impression on Ji Yaojiu. Perhaps it was because Ji Yaojiu himself had very high expectations for Han Hyo Joo, or it could be said that he believed that Han Hyo Joo should have the acting level of a movie queen.

The only thing that makes Qi Yaojiu a little uncertain is the issue of co-operating with the male lead. Generally speaking, well-known actresses will not easily accept to work with new actors.

Fortunately, Han Hyo Joo did not refuse after hearing that the male lead she would be co-starring with was Lee Seung Gi.

The contract for the performance was signed on the same day, and the news report was released through the K Broadcasting Station's variety show "Entertainment Agency" at 7:45 pm.

Including the two main characters Han Hyo Joo and Lee Seung Gi, "Entertainment Agent" took ten minutes to introduce all the characters of the K Broadcasting Station-banned TV series "Shining Legacy".

The second male lead is played by actor Bae Soo-bin, and the second female lead is played by actress Moon Chae-won.

Kang Min-kyung, a member of the girl idol group Davichi, will play the role of the heroine's friend.

There are also several unfamiliar names, including the childhood actor and Lee Ji-ah who also plays the role of the male protagonist's sister.

Among the five people who auditioned in Room 1519, Ki Yoo-gu chose Lee Ji-ah from the other four, except Park Ji-yeon.

The reason for choosing Lee Ji-ah was firstly based on her appearance, and secondly because Lee Ji-ah was the only one among the four who had acting experience.

late at night.

Rental housing building.

15th floor, room 1519.

Lee Ji-ah, Yang Ji-won, Ham Eun-jung, Park Hyo-min and Park Ji-yeon gathered together.

living room.

Park Ji-yeon hides her achievements and fame.

She smiled happily. She had read the news reports and found out that the role Lee Ji-ah got was not a supporting role but the male lead's sister.

In Park Ji-yeon's heart, Ki Yoo-gu kept his promise.

Park Ji-yeon didn't tell her sisters about going to see Ji Yaojiu to buy seafood porridge in the morning, nor did she plan to tell them.

Yang Zhiyuan asked, "Has the company received the contract for the performance?"

After this question, everyone else looked at Lee Ji-ah curiously.

Lee Ji-ah nodded and said, "I received the script and the contract around 4 pm, and I've already signed it."

"Congratulations, Ernie."

After accepting the congratulations from her sisters, Lee Ji-ah suddenly said, "Director-nim lives next door. Shouldn't I thank Director-nim in person for giving me the opportunity to act in a TV series?"

Lee Ji-ah, who has starred in "The Legendary Schemes" and "Beethoven Virus", obviously understands social life better than the others.

In particular, I know how much power a TV drama director has.

Even if the plot is well-filmed, if the director doesn't like it, he can cut it out directly, of course, this also includes replacing actors in the middle, etc.

What's more, this TV series was produced by K Broadcasting Station, and Lee Ji-ah also heard from her friends that K Broadcasting Station will fully support Ki Yo-gu. In short, the key TV series project for the beginning of next year will be Ki Yo-gu's "Shining Legacy".

It is definitely necessary to have a good relationship with Director Ki Yo-gu.

You have to know that Qi Yaojiu is a variety show PD himself. The variety shows he produces are very popular. If the TV series are also successful, such a director will be a person that all artists will scramble to recruit in the future in the H country entertainment industry.

Now is a very good opportunity for Lee Ji-ah, as she is the first to see the moon.

Ji Yaojiu lives next door. In fact, she would go to thank Ji Yaojiu without the support of the members, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she still wanted the members to accompany her, at least the members who had contact with Ji Yaojiu, such as Park Hyomin and Park Jiyeon.
