Peninsula: The Great Producer

at dusk.

Li Enying stopped Jin Zhihuan who was about to knock on the door and said, "PDnim is busy, don't disturb him."

In the hallway, Jin Zhihuan pointed in the direction of Qi Yaojiu's office and said, "Busy? Isn't PDnim listening to music and relaxing?"

Li Enying pressed her hand and said, "Oppa, have you forgotten the year-end music stage?"

Jin Zhihuan suddenly realized and nodded, "Yes, PDnim has too many things to do. In addition to variety shows, there are also TV dramas and year-end music performances. It's my fault that I can't share the burden with PDnim."

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door opened and Qi Yaojiu walked out of the office singing the song "Lollipop".

Jin Zhihuan was the first to look into Qi Yaojiu's eyes.

Are you busy? Qi Yaojiu seemed very excited.

Qi Yaojiu waved at Jin Zhihuan and said, "Brother Zhihuan, since you are here, what do you think of my phone being upgraded to an LG?"

Changing your phone? What's going on?

Ki Yoo-gu walked up to Kim Ji-hwan and said, "It's the one that Bigbang and 2ne1 endorsed together."

"Endorsement?"

"No endorsements? I just watched their commercial song. I think I should get rid of my 2G phone."

In the large office, Qi Yaojiu asked Li Eun-young, who was standing behind the desk, "Eun-young, do you think I should switch to Samsung or LG?"

Li Enying instinctively responded, "Samsung."

This is a bit of a difficult choice. LG's is a flip phone, which is a trend at this stage, and Samsung's touch-screen phone is the new technology of the future. It seems that choosing Samsung is a better choice, but Qi Yaojiu is already familiar with full-touch-screen smartphones, and flip phones are more attractive.

Jin Zhihuan reminded: "PDnim, it's almost time for us to go over."

Qi Yaojiu asked, "Where are you going?"

Jin Zhihuan stared at Li Enying not far away with wide eyes.

Li Enying was speechless. Look at what she was doing. She was not going to attend the first dinner party of the TV series "Secret Garden" tonight. Besides, wasn't it you, Jin Zhihuan, who was in charge of the preparations for the dinner party? Did you want me to say anything?
Qi Yaojiu exclaimed, "Ah!" and chuckled, "I almost forgot about the dinner tonight. Should we go now? I might as well go get a new phone first. I guess there's still time."

A typical workplace conversation ensued.

The mobile phone store was still open at six in the evening, so whatever Qi Yaojiu wanted to do must be fine.

That's how Jin Zhihuan responded, saying confidently, "We'll definitely make it in time. I know a nearby mobile phone store that handles the process quickly. Let's go now?"

Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "Shall we set off now?"

Jin Zhihuan raised his right hand and shouted excitedly: "OK, let's go."

Li Enying saw with her own eyes that Qi Yaojiu clearly put his arm around Jin Zhihuan's shoulders, and then the two of them whispered a few words and discussed with each other before finally jumping out of the company together.

Is it Qi Yaojiu?

They have been working together for more than a year, but this is the first time that Li Enying has seen Qi Yaojiu show this side of him.

How should I put it? It's what he should do at his age. He's less than 24 years old, so it's normal for him to be a little childish.

the other side

Near Exit 7 of Sinchon Station.

Sitting in the back seat of a black MPV, Liu Renna nervously asked her agent, "Is this the place?"

The agent leaned over to look at the restaurant sign. It was indeed a Korean beef restaurant, and it was also the address notified in the text message.

After receiving the confirmation, Liu Renna quickly fixed her hair and clothes, repeating in her mouth: "Oppa, do you think I should arrive early?"

"I wanted to arrive early so I could have time to get to know the seniors I didn't have time to greet today."

"But Oppa, I wonder if the seniors will dislike juniors like me, the kind who talk a lot."

"Will they think I'm trying to please them? What if they ignore me? How can I resolve the awkward atmosphere?"

The agent wanted to say something but couldn't find the right time to speak.

He understood Liu Renna's nervousness and her inner anxiety. Liu Renna had been a little nervous and muttering over and over again these days, probably because she was under too much pressure.

She wants to do everything well, including handling interpersonal relationships well.

But ideals are full, and reality is skinny.

Before going to the broadcasting station to attend the script reading this morning, Liu Renna was also well prepared. She even prepared many questions that might be asked by senior actors in the car, such as her age, why she wanted to be an actor, when she decided to start on this path, etc.

As a result, Liu Inna sat in the corner of the production conference room and observed the situation around her quietly and obediently. Not to mention answering the questions she had prepared before, she was even very cautious in greeting people. She didn't say a word to the senior actors and perhaps didn't even leave an impression on them.

The agent certainly did not discourage Liu Renna's enthusiasm and encouraged her: "Renna Xi can do whatever she wants and does not need to worry about any situation."

Liu Renna said "hmm", blinked, looked at her agent and said, "What did Oppa say just now?"

The agent changed his tone and said, "I'm saying that there are advantages to going in early. When there are fewer people, it's the best time to chat and build relationships. Going in later will avoid awkwardness, but it can also easily lead to misunderstandings."

"Misunderstand?"

"My suggestion is that you go in early. After all, you're a newcomer. You should show your newcomer attitude and greet the seniors as soon as possible. This will earn you more love from them. What do you think?"

Liu Renna nodded heavily, made a victory gesture and said, "Oppa is right, I should arrive earlier. I'm going, Oppa, wait for my good news."

Liu Inna opened the car door and walked towards the Korean beef shop with confidence.

The agent in the car muttered, "Good news? Isn't it the best news that she's starring in PD Ki Yo-gu's new drama? What else could it be?"

"Wow"

A black MPV of the same model slowly passed by and stopped three meters ahead.

Liu Inna's agent was still wondering who had come, whether it was an actor who had the same idea as Liu Inna, when he saw a petite person getting out of the black MPV in front.

After getting off the car, the man went to the passenger seat and said a few words, then walked quickly towards the Korean beef shop with a black plastic bag.

The agent kept staring at the person, and only saw the person's face clearly when they were at the door of the Korean beef shop. He knew it was the singer IU.

Suddenly realizing something, the manager said with a look of annoyance, "It's over. I should have prepared some hangover medicine for Inna Xi to bring to the other actors and production staff."

There was a tinkling sound of glass bottles colliding in the plastic bag.

IU followed the waiter to the seat reserved by the production team.

At the innermost part of the left side of the hall, four dining tables were put together, and some people were already sitting there watching.

IU stole a glance at the person sitting in the seat. She had long hair draped over her shoulders and was sitting straight cross-legged on the cushion. Her lips were moving as if she was muttering something.

As she got closer, IU vaguely heard some words like "Hello, I'm the new actress Liu Inna..."

"Hello"

She took the initiative to say hello, and the person sitting there stood up, bowed, and said, "Hello, I'm the new actress Liu Inna, please take care of me." This stunned Li Zhien.

There was silence.

After a few seconds, Li Zhien came back to her senses and also bent down to respond: "Hello, I am singer IU. This is my first time participating in a TV drama and I don't know anything. Please take care of me, seniors."

"?"

Liu Renna slowly stood up straight.

"Senior? Myself?"

When I looked up, I saw the person in front of me bowing 90 degrees very respectfully.

The moment their eyes met, Liu Renna pointed at Li Zhien in front of her and said, "It's you."

"Senior-nim, it's me."

"I'm a senior? Me?"

"Yes, Senior-nim." (End of this chapter)
