Peninsula: The Great Producer

Xincun, MAX Production Co., Ltd.

August 2009, 12, 26pm.

Ki Yo-gu was stopped by Lee Eun-young as he came out of his personal office. "PDnim, K Broadcasting Station needs to confirm which program you'll be walking the red carpet with tonight."

Last year was okay.

Last year, when Ki Yo-gu attended the K Broadcasting Station's year-end entertainment awards ceremony, he only had to choose one of the two programs, "New Journey to the West" and "Three Meals a Day", to walk the red carpet together.

In addition, Kang Ho-dong, Eun Ji-won, and Lee Soo-geun were originally going to walk the red carpet with "Two Days and One Night", but in the end, Ki Yo-gu and Na Young-seok discussed and decided that he would walk the red carpet with "Three Meals a Day".

This year is the year of happy troubles.

Except for Kang Ho-dong and others who will still walk the red carpet with K Broadcasting Station's absolute ace program "Two Days and One Night" this year, Ki Yo-koo will also have to choose one from the three programs "Three Meals a Day", "Bounce Earth Game Hall" and "Youth Never Fails".

"Youth Without Wins" allows Lee Eun-young to walk the red carpet with the cast. After all, everyone in the industry knows that although this program was planned by Ki Yo-jiu, it has always been Lee Eun-young who has been in charge of the filming and post-production.

The only ones left for Qi Yaojiu were "Three Meals a Day" and "Bounce Earth Game Hall".

Qi Yaojiu was also conflicted.

In fact, the second season of "Three Meals a Day" filmed this year was not personally supervised by Ki Yo-gu. The key point was that Choi Jinna did not walk the red carpet.

To be honest, if Qi Yaojiu had to choose, he would definitely choose "Beng Beng Earth Game Hall".

Li Enying seemed to have guessed this idea, so before Qi Yaojiu could answer, she said, "I'll reply to the broadcasting station's "Bounce Earth Arcade"?"

Qi Yaojiu pointed at Li Enying's finger and shook it up and down and said, "Writer Li, your decision for me is absolutely correct."

Li Enying was stunned for a moment. How did it suddenly become a decision she made for Qi Yaojiu?

This was clearly the decision in Qi Yaojiu's mind. Who could change Qi Yaojiu's mind? Li Eun-young? Forget it. Li Eun-young still knew her own limitations.

As a subordinate, he received a high salary and generous bonus from Qi Yaojiu, and started to be solely responsible for the program earlier than anyone else of the same period.

This treatment, at best, is just like how Quan Kaka treated his soldiers. They can get ten months' salary subsidy without doing anything, and they can get more if they do what they are told. What's wrong with taking the blame? It's an honor to be able to take the blame for such a great leader.

But it’s pointless for Qi Yaojiu to deceive himself like this. Everyone in the company knows what he is thinking.

The staff talked about this more than once when they had private meals together. Qi Yaojiu was also very straightforward. When asked why the male MCs and male guests in the two programs "New Journey to the West" and "Three Meals a Day" were not treated as well as the female guests in "Bounce Earth Game Hall", Qi Yaojiu directly said that a group of men do not need to be taken care of, but girls are different and must be taken care of well. The saying "Like a poor man, but raise a daughter in wealth" makes sense.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Kang Ho-dong, Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Soo-geun, Eun Ji-won, Cha Seung-won and others should be treated as sons. It's just a metaphor, meaning that male artists can only grow by enduring hardships, while female artists cannot endure even a little bit of hardship and must be well protected.

This statement is simply unheard of, especially when the social environment is not very friendly to women.

Perhaps because of this reason, 90% of the employees at MAX Production Company are women, and they can all find the meaning of life and the pride and glory of being a woman in Qi Yaojiu.

The sharp-eyed Lee Eun-young also praised Ki Yo-gu: "PDnim's tie and shirt today are a perfect match."

Qi Yaojiu couldn't hear it, so he smiled and said, "Writer Li is worthy of being my right-hand man. Let's go. I'm going to the beauty salon first."

Li Enying called out, "PDnim, will all my expenses for going to the beauty salon be reimbursed as well?"

"Well, all reports, remember to ask FD Jin Zhihuan to make a restaurant reservation in advance tonight."

Qi Yaojiu left.

A figure slowly stood up behind the desk next to Li Enying.

Jin Zhihuan pointed at himself and asked Li Enying: "So, PDnim just ignored me?"

Li Enying looked at Jin Zhihuan who was also wearing a suit and tie today and said, "Oppa, remember to catch up now, otherwise you will have to pay for the beauty salon later."

Yeouido, K Broadcasting Station Headquarters.

On the third floor, the Arts Center office.

The hurried footsteps and various shouts painted a busy scene.

Jingle Bell

The landline phone rang non-stop. Even when Vice President Li Yuanjun came to the Entertainment Center office, no one bothered to greet him.

Li Yuanjun was very satisfied with this busy scene.

Tonight, the three major celebrations will be so busy: the K Broadcasting Station Entertainment Awards, the month-end Acting Awards, and "Gayo Daejeji".

Unlike previous years, this year's three major celebrations will be broadcast live online in many countries and regions around the world.

This is also the project that Vice President Li Yuanjun pays the most attention to this year, and it is also the project that Vice President Li Yuanjun personally proposed and is responsible for.

Of course, it is the department heads below who are responsible for implementation. As I said before, if it is done well, it is the performance of Vice President Li Yuanjun, and if it is not done well, it is the incompetence of the department heads below.

Entering the director's office, Park Jong-min was adjusting his tie in front of the mirror while reciting the lines he was going to say at the awards ceremony tonight.

"cough cough"

After coughing twice, Li Yuanjun looked at Park Jong-min twisting and turning in front of the mirror with a smile.

Park Jong-min was completely immersed in his own world. All he could think about at this moment was the scene of him going on stage to present the award with Girls' Generation's Yoona tonight.

"Director Park nim"

Park Jong-min regained his composure when he heard someone calling him.

When he looked back, Park Jong-min was shocked.

He quickly trotted over to Li Yuanjun and said, "Vice President Nim, why are you here?"

Li Yuanjun patted Park Jongmin on the shoulder and said, "Tonight's Entertainment Awards Ceremony is the most important celebration of the year for the broadcasting station. I definitely want to see it. Come on, take a walk with me."

Park Jong-min quickly cleared the way, saying as he walked, "Don't worry, Vice President-nim, tonight's awards ceremony is under the supervision of PD Jin Nan. There has never been a broadcasting accident in all these years, and tonight will definitely end successfully."

Vice President Li Yuanjun still trusts PD Jin Nan.

The only three main PDs in the entertainment center of the broadcasting station who can be considered outstanding are Na Young-seok, Kim Nam and Kim Sang-mi.

Just casually asking, Li Yuanjun asked, "Where is PD Qi Yaojiu?"

Park Jong-min responded, "PD Ki should be preparing for tonight's awards ceremony. Vice President Nim also knows this guy. Ahem, PD Ki's four programs have all been shortlisted for awards this year, and PD Ki himself has also been shortlisted for the Best Producer award."

Suddenly, Li Yuanjun said, "Why did you let PD Qi Yaojiu go in the first place?

Park Jong-min broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.

Why did I let Qi Yaojiu go back then? It seems strange when I think about it now.

The superiors all knew that Qi Yaojiu was talented and capable, so why did they agree to Qi Yaojiu's resignation? I didn't seem to stop him at the time. It's strange. What's going on?

From the third floor to the second floor.

The studio has been set up and the production team responsible for tonight's awards ceremony is conducting final checks and confirmations.

on the stage.

The assistant PD used the walkie-talkie to communicate with PD Jin Nan in the backstage control room about the congratulatory stage in the middle of tonight's award ceremony.

On the right side of the stage, the performing teams of the two programs "Bengbeng Earth Game Hall" and "Youth Never Fails" gathered together to prepare for rehearsals in batches.

Li Yuanjun noticed it, pointed, and said, "Are those the performers on the congratulatory stage for PD Qi Yaojiu's show tonight?"

Park Jong-min only took a quick glance and replied, "Yes, tonight's special celebration stage is definitely worth looking forward to. It's different from the special stage preparations for the year-end music stage. It will definitely make the atmosphere of the award ceremony more lively, and the performance will also cause a lot of heated discussion."

Li Yuanjun walked slowly towards the stage. As a senior executive of the broadcasting station, he had to go over and give encouragement at a time like this. Whether it could spark heated discussions and gain the most attention was not a problem he considered.

Li Yuanjun wanted to see more of Qi Yaojiu's vision in selecting people.

They are all female idols, so they should all be beautiful, have hot bodies, and be outstanding. (End of this chapter)
