Peninsula: The Great Producer

Inside the Maiim Group Research Institute building.

Qi Yaojiu walked quickly to the long sofa by the French window and said from a distance of about five meters: "Writer-nim, you're here so early."

In front of the sofa, a figure slowly stood up.

He looked around and responded, "PDnim, how did you find this place? It's too similar to the scene described in the script."

Come forward and shake hands.

Qi Yaojiu shrugged and said, "Dramas like 'Winter Sonata' were filmed here before, so I've always remembered it."

"Please take a seat"

Sitting on the sofa, Qi Yaojiu asked with concern: "Has writer-nim had breakfast?"

The writer who came to the opening ceremony was Kim Eun-sook, the writer whom Ki Yoo-gu wanted to recruit from MAX Production Company.

This "Secret Garden" is very crucial. Ki Yo-gu asked writer Kim Eun-sook to participate in the whole process and lead the later plot revisions of the script. As long as the drama can produce convincing results, writer Kim Eun-sook will choose to join MAX Production Company.

With the addition of Kim Eun-sook, MAX Production Company's future breakthrough in the TV drama market will no longer rely entirely on Ki Yoo-gu. Ki Yoo-gu will also have more time to do other things, such as making movies, producing new variety shows, etc.

Kim Eun-sook just stared at the filming location.

The feeling was a bit strange, and it made Qi Yaojiu feel a little panicked.

Obviously the script was not written by Kim Eun-sook, but seeing her satisfied expression and eyes on the set, I felt...

Kim Eun-sook came to her senses and realized her own gaffe. She quickly asked, "What did PDnim just say?"

Qi Yaojiu shrugged and said, "I'm saying that writer-nim must take care of his health."

"Thank you."

"Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and it's okay to eat less at dinner."

Kim Eun-sook was stunned for two seconds and responded with a smile: "Is this PDnim's health management method? I am not used to eating breakfast."

Standing up, Kim Eun-sook walked to the lawn yard outside.

She and Qi Yaojiu were mostly just chatting, but the topic always revolved around the filming of the TV series. Her occasional compliments made Qi Yaojiu inexplicably embarrassed, especially the compliments like "natural director" and "natural screenwriter".

Perhaps this is the resonance between top screenwriters and directors. After all, when reading the text of a script, imaginary scenes will appear in the mind, which is also called visual thinking.

People with well-developed visual thinking tend to imagine scenes with a high degree of similarity, even if that person is not the author of the script.

Time flies by minute by second.

Nearing 9 o'clock in the morning, many people had already gathered at the opening ceremony.

Reporters have been busy.

Although this is not a movie premiere, it is a rare opportunity to chat closely with celebrities who you rarely get to meet, and even get their consent for a private interview.

Of course, this kind of individual interview also depends on the person.

There were only two or three people who were interviewed, such as the reporters who surrounded Hyun Bin and Ha Ji-won, and the few reporters who interviewed Yoon Sang-hyun.

The other actors and artists who received invitations to attend the opening ceremony today seemed a little less visible.

There are definitely people who are envious, such as Liu Inna, who was standing in the lower right corner of the venue with Lee Ji-eun.

Friendships between women are amazing.

It’s a bit like the relationship between a man and a woman. One person needs to take the initiative, and it’s easy to build feelings as long as you take the initiative to approach the other person.

This is the case with Liu Inna and Li Zhien.

This was the third time the two of them met today. They only had a meal together. Today, Liu Inna took the initiative to go to Li Zhien's car and stayed there for more than 20 minutes. Now the two of them are in a relationship where they can even hold hands and have intimate contact.

Liu Renna muttered: "I'm so envious. I wonder when I can be interviewed by reporters like them."

Lee Ji-eun said, "Ouni, you can do it," but her eyes were searching everywhere.

Rather than accepting interviews from reporters, Lee Ji-eun wanted to find out where Ki Yo-gu was.

"Hello"

A greeting suddenly appeared.

Liu Renna turned her head in the direction of the voice. She was tall, with a pretty face and a warm, sunny smile. After a brief moment of surprise, Liu Renna was the first to respond: "Hello." The person who greeted her didn't know how to address her for a moment, and said cautiously: "Senior, when did you get here?"

"Ah, me? I've been here for a while. Where's Lee Jong Suk XI?"

The one who came over to say hello was the new actor Lee Jong Suk who was invited to attend the opening ceremony today.

He immediately saw Liu Inna and Lee Ji-eun standing there.

Nothing else
Lee Jong Suk is now also a transparent person. Invisible people have the same idea when participating in such occasions. They find a quiet corner and don’t want to be in the spotlight. Then they finish today’s work in an orderly manner and go home.

In addition, Lee Jong Suk knew Liu Inna. Although he did not speak to Liu Inna during the last audition, the two of them exchanged a few simple greetings during the script study session and the dinner in the evening.

They are all artists from the same company and their managers know each other.

Especially when going out for work like today, being able to meet artists from the same company will give you a special sense of security and intimacy.

Liu Inna pulled Li Zhien a few times.

Not finding Ki Yo-gu, Lee Ji-eun looked away and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Renna's smile was a little stiff. She looked at Lee Jong Suk and said, "Lee Jong Suk Xi, let me introduce you. This is singer IUxi, my friend."

When Lee Ji-eun heard Liu Inna introducing herself, she noticed Lee Jong-suk standing in front of her.

"Hello"

Lee Jong Suk took the initiative to greet Lee Ji Eun.

"Hello"

Li Zhien responded calmly.

Then, the atmosphere became awkward again.

Lee Jong Suk raised his hand to scratch his head and said, "Can I stand here?"

Liu Renna replied, "Sure, stand wherever you want."

Lee Jong Suk looked at Lee Ji Eun again, and Lee Ji Eun nodded slightly.

It's a bit strange, as if this is their territory and they have to get permission to stand here.

A few minutes later, Lee Ji-eun wondered why Lee Jong-suk always found awkward topics to talk about.

It is not necessary to chat. Although it is necessary to get familiar with each other before filming in a crew, sometimes it takes a process to get familiar with each other. The most comfortable way is to let it happen naturally. There is no need to force familiarity.

Even Lee Ji-eun didn't even look at Lee Jong-suk for a few seconds.

After all, there was an actor named Hyun Bin on the scene, with that appearance, that height, and that temperament.

Even if Hyun Bin is not here, Ki Yo-gu, whom Lee Ji-eun has been looking for, is more attractive. Others may not know, but that's what Lee Ji-eun thinks in her heart.

“Actually, I’ve been an idol trainee before.”

"Really? I tried that too."

Lee Ji-eun looked at Yoo In-na and Lee Jong-suk, and it seemed inappropriate for her to say something, so she said, "Why don't you continue? Lee Jong-suk Xi's appearance and figure are enough to make him an idol."

Lee Jong Suk jokingly said, "Is IUxi praising my handsomeness?"

Liu Inna looked left and right. It seemed like Lee Jong Suk had a crush on Lee Ji Eun.

Just as he was about to transform into the matchmaker, the words "Why are you standing here?" broke the atmosphere.

They all turned their heads.

The next second, Yoo In Na released her hand from Lee Ji Eun, and Lee Jong Suk stood at attention. Then they both bowed 90 degrees and greeted, "Hello, PDnim."

Qi Yaojiu came and stood in front of Li Zhien and continued, "Have you had breakfast?"

Li Zhien smiled brightly, a smile completely different from the one she had just shown to Lee Jong Suk. She walked over to Qi Yaojiu naturally and said, "Chaiya unnie gave me coffee and pastries. Is Oppa here just now?"

Liu Inna and Lee Jong Suk, who did not hear any response, resumed their standing position and looked at Lee Ji-eun with envy. Ji Yaojiu's concern was much more important than the interviews of those reporters.

And I really didn't expect that IU and Ki Yo-gu have such a close relationship. (End of this chapter)
