Peninsula: The Great Producer

Qi Yaojiu didn't quite believe it.

The main reason was that he had never thought that any well-known screenwriters or producers would join MAX Production Company.

Otherwise, Qi Yaojiu would not have spent time training Li Enying.

If Kim Eun-sook joins MAX Production Company, Ki Yo-gu can be fully responsible for the TV drama section in the future.

Even Ki Yo-gu, who gave off a calm impression, couldn't help but turn to look at writer Kim Eun-sook and say, "Writer-nim, are you willing to join our MAX Production Company?"

Kim Eun-sook didn't feel it was presumptuous at all. After all, Ki Yo-gu was a young man, and young people should have the courage of young people.

It is best to speak directly. Beating around the bush is a waste of time and meaningless.

So, Kim Eun-sook answered directly: "It's not that I don't trust PD Ki, I care more about the work environment and work style, so I want to participate in the production of "Secret Garden" to confirm whether I am suitable for MAX Production Company."

Qi Yaojiu immediately made the decision: "No problem, but the casting is over."

Kim Eun-sook smiled and said, "I heard about the casting from Director Kim Hye-joo-nim, and I also read the script. It was PD Ki's casting that made me more interested in joining MAX Production Company. To be honest, if it were me, I would choose the actors in the same way."

Is there a bug?
The original writer also chose these actors to give Kim Eun-sook the illusion that she had met a soulmate?

Keep steady.

Qi Yaojiu said slowly, "I didn't expect that I could have such a tacit understanding with Writer-nim in this area. In that case, I'll meet the actors who passed the audition later. Does Writer-nim want to join us?"

Kim Eun-sook nodded in agreement.

It is hard to tell whether Ki Yo-gu is happy or unhappy, but Director Kim Hye-joo is very happy. She thinks that the quality of K Broadcasting Station's TV dramas will be improved in the future.

It doesn't matter if Ki Yo-ji is busy all year round, as long as he can produce one self-produced drama every year. Don't we still have Kim Eun-sook for the rest? Kim Eun-sook, who can write "Paris Lovers" and "Prague Lovers", is definitely not a new writer.

What Kim Hye-joo didn't mention to Ki Yo-gu was the new work that Kim Eun-sook was conceiving. It was a story about four men in their forties. After hearing some of the ideas, she felt that it would definitely be a hit, and it would be broadcast on K Broadcasting Station from now on.

After leaving the director's office, Ki Yo-gu and Kim Eun-sook walked towards the "Secret Garden" production meeting room.

On the way, the staff they met were more or less surprised to see Ki Yo-gu and Kim Eun-sook walking together. Kim Eun-sook is quite well-known within the K Broadcasting Station's TV drama production center.

Everyone was wondering in their hearts whether this writer and Qi Yaojiu had joined Qi Yaojiu's production company.

If this is true, it is hard not to be surprised. It has only been less than a year since Ki Yo-gu left K Broadcasting Station to start his own independent company. If things continue to develop like this, I can't imagine what MAX Production Company will become in the future.

Qi Yaojiu understood those eyes and expressions. In fact, he had just experienced the shock of the employees not long ago, but after careful consideration, he calmed down. Writer Kim Eun-sook joining is just the beginning, isn't it? In the future, MAX Production Company may really become the most representative production company in the industry, not only in Country H, but even develop globally.

No one stipulates that Hollywood blockbusters can only be planned and produced by directors and screenwriters from Europe and the United States. Unfortunately, there is not enough time for the Marvel superhero series, but there are still movies like "Interstellar" that can be tried.

Qi Yaojiu is already planning for the future, but right now, the most important thing for those who have received the news of passing the audition is to sign the performance contract and get the script of their role to start studying and preparing.

"Secret Garden" production conference room.

An assistant writer who joined the company in June this year brought coffee to Ki Yo-gu and Kim Eun-sook.

Kim Eun-sook jokingly said, "PD Ki's treatment at K Broadcasting Station is almost the same as Director-Nim's."

Qi Yaojiu knew that Jin Enshu was joking and played along: "This kind of treatment is only available during the short period when Director-nim needs me. I must seize the opportunity to enjoy it."

Kim Eun-sook then asked, "Has PD Ki always been this humorous and funny?"

Qi Yaojiu slowly shook his head and said, "This is the state that has not yet been fully utilized. When Writer-nim has time to go to the set in the future, the experience will be even more different."

Kim Eun-sook was really looking forward to it.

Generally speaking, TV drama writers will not go to the scene easily, and they communicate with the director more often by phone, for fear that there will be conflicts in the plot after they arrive on the scene, and they will be unable to help but quarrel and make the actors laugh.

A writer should be like a military strategist in ancient times: enigmatic, unpredictable, and able to maintain a sense of control. They should ensure that the author, not the director, holds the ultimate authority over a work. But if that person on set is Ki Yo-gu, it's not a bad idea to go and see it, to experience the atmosphere on set firsthand.

Qi Yaojiu is not just an executive director, he is also a writer and a producer.

Dong dong dong

After the knock, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Actors who passed the audition have arrived at the broadcasting station one after another.

The first person to come in was Yoon Sang-hyun, the second male lead chosen by Ki Yo-gu for this drama.

The reactions of several main actors who came in later were almost the same as Yoon Sang-hyun's. When they saw Ki Yoo-gu, they didn't think much of anything. As for this talented producer of "Shining Legacy", the actors were all trying to get more information about Ki Yoo-gu through their own connections.

But when they saw Kim Eun-sook sitting next to Ki Yo-gu, they were a little confused.

I haven't heard that Kim Eun-sook is involved in this new work, but any actor who has debuted for a long time and has experience knows writer Kim Eun-sook.

Originally, it was more of a spirit of challenge. I wanted to personally experience the ability of Qi Yaojiu, the talented producer, and challenge whether it would become a New Year's hit drama like "Shining Legacy" and become popular.

Now with writer Kim Eun-sook, this is not a challenge but a sure thing.

The highest ratings of "Paris Lovers" were 56.3%, a phenomenal TV series that was higher than the 46.7% of "Shining Legacy".

In the big office.

The actors who were still waiting to sign the contract were very curious why every actor who came out of the production meeting room had a face that was almost broken by laughing.

Among them, Liu Renna kept muttering in her heart: "Could it be that the performance fee was paid right after the contract was signed? Eh, I have never heard of such a thing, but why are those actors so excited?"

"Liu Renna Xi, please come in."

The staff reminded Liu Inna, and Liu Inna perked up, stood up from her chair, and slowly walked towards the production meeting room.

Taking a deep breath to calm her nervous mood, checking her clothes, putting on a smile, Liu Inna knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

A response came from inside: "Come in."

Carefully pushing open the door of the production room, the moment she looked up, Liu Inna saw Ki Yoo-gu and Kim Eun-sook sitting next to Ki Yoo-gu.

At first, Liu Renna didn't recognize Kim Eun-sook, and nodded and greeted her softly: "Hello."

After closing the door and sitting on the chair on the right side of the conference table, Liu Inna tried to make herself look relaxed and exchanged glances with Qi Yaojiu and Kim Eun-sook who were sitting opposite her.

That is, when Liu Inna exchanged glances with Kim Eun-sook, she recognized her.

He raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his surprise was even more exaggerated than that of the actors who came in before him.

Qi Yaojiu and Jin Enshu looked at each other and smiled and said, "Liu Renna Xi also knows writer Jin Enshu nim, so I won't introduce her separately. Writer Jin Enshu nim is also a member of the production team of "Secret Garden". Congratulations on passing the audition. The role given to you here is the friend of the heroine..."

Liu Inna had no idea what Ki Yo-gu said later.

She was in shock the whole time.

That's why the actors were so excited when they walked out of the production meeting room.

I really didn't expect that writer Kim Eun-sook would be here. The information I had previously about Ki Yo-gu and MAX Production Company was incomplete, not even including such important information.

It's a sure thing. All the actors in this drama should have the opportunity to become famous, including me. This time it's a sure thing. (End of this chapter)
