Peninsula: The Great Producer

Qi Yaojiu's biggest headache right now is not the planning of new programs and the arrangement of TV dramas.

Rather, it was the issue of choosing the male lead after he decided to produce "My Love from the Star".

Originally, Ki Yoo-gu wanted to push Kim Soo-hyun, but after filming "The Sun Embracing the Moon", Ki Yoo-gu changed his mind.

In addition to the fact that some people on the Internet dug up photos and information that Kim Soo-hyun had previously posted on his social media account, the heroine Han Ga-in also talked a lot with the screenwriter of TVN Broadcasting Station after filming this drama, all about Kim Soo-hyun.

Qi Yaojiu attaches great importance to character.

He will help if he can, for example, when pulling Lee Soo Geun now, Ki Yoo Gu will tell Lee Soo Geun to stay away from DB. After all, an artist's social image is very important, and Lee Soo Geun is not the top actor in Chungmuro. Once he makes a mistake, all his previous efforts will be completely denied.

If it were Kim Soo Hyun, Ki Yo Gu wouldn't have the urge to help him.

After becoming famous through the TV series "The Sun Embracing the Moon", Kim Soo Hyun has decided to sign an exclusive contract with Bae Yong Joon's entertainment company. There are some things that Ki Yo Gu didn't know before, but now he more or less knows about them and has given up on training Kim Soo Hyun.

Perhaps other screenwriters and directors would find Kim Soo Hyun to be the male lead because of "The Sun Embracing the Moon", or perhaps Bae Yong Joon would strongly promote Kim Soo Hyun. If I remember correctly, Bae Yong Joon's company collaborated with JYP in 11 to produce a youth idol TV series.

But at least, Ki Yo-gu doesn't plan to continue using Kim Soo-hyun.

In fact, in Ki Yo-gu's heart, Kim Soo-hyun is not as good as Lee Seung-gi.

Although many people dislike Lee Seung Gi because of his love affair, at least Lee Seung Gi is a good person.

For a moment, Qi Yaojiu was confused about who was suitable to play the male lead in "My Love from the Star".

6 month.

FX group's comeback is entering its final stage
The staff sent to Guilin for advance field research also returned with a filming report.

Guilin in early summer is the best season for travel. After much deliberation, Qi Yaojiu decided to film the second season of "Bengbeng Earth Game Hall" in Guilin, and the third season of "New Journey to the West" in Jiuzhaigou.

The shooting schedule for the entire month of July is full.

Qi Yaojiu will first shoot the second season of "Beng Beng Earth Game Hall" in Guilin, and then immediately transfer to Jiuzhaigou to shoot "New Journey to the West". After returning to Seoul, he will start shooting and producing "Heroes".

Sinchon, MAX Production Company studio.

Jin Zhihuan finally brought good news to Qi Yaojiu.

The new company office I have been looking for has finally been found.

The location is in Chungmuro, and it was found exactly according to Ki Yo-jiu's requirements.

It’s not known if someone in the studio has relatives or friends working as a journalist, but photos of Ki Yo-gu visiting the new company’s office environment in Chungmuro quickly went viral on the Internet.

Many people asked Qi Yaojiu when he would move to a new company.

Director Park Jong-min and Director Kim Hye-joo of K Broadcasting Station sent a message asking Ki Yo-gu to notify them the day before the new company opens.

Lee Myung-han, the head of TVN Broadcasting Station, and Kim Jae-in, the head of the TV Drama Production Center, issued similar messages.

Directors Choi In-young and Kim Young-byeon of S Broadcasting Station sent messages for the first time about something other than work.

In addition, artists who have worked with Ki Yo-gu, such as Lee Ji-eun, Goo Hara, Choi Sulli, Park Ji-yeon, Kang Min-kyung, Lee Seung-gi, Lee Soo-geun, Kang Ho-dong, and Yoo Jae-suk, also sent inquiries.

The end of April.

New company relocation.

Qi Yaojiu went there early on purpose.

But when he arrived at the new company building, he was frightened by the dozens of media reporters gathered.

The moment Qi Yaojiu got out of the taxi, he was immediately surrounded by people and asked all kinds of questions. Qi Yaojiu actually didn't hear clearly what the reporters asked, but just waved to express his gratitude.

The building being rented is an old four-story building, which is entirely used by MAX Production Company.

Entering the building, the corridors were lined with countless congratulatory flower baskets. It was no wonder reporters had gathered so early in the morning; any news about MAX Productions was now considered breaking news in the entertainment industry.

Ki Yo-gu asked Kim Ji-hwan to be in charge of greeting the reporters.

Fourth floor, personal office.

Qi Yaojiu first went to the private office of writer Jin Enshu.

The two parties have signed a work agreement, and officially starting from July 7st, Kim Eun-sook will be the screenwriter and writer of MAX Production Company.

The first thing Kim Eun-sook said when she saw Ki Yo-gu was, "Didn't Representative-nim bring the reporters up here?"

Qi Yaojiu glanced back and shrugged, saying, "Jin Zhihuan is greeting the reporters."

Kim Eun-sook breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I really don't like facing reporters, and I never thought that joining MAX Productions would cause such a big stir. And with Representative Nim, our company has now become a benchmark in the entertainment industry."

Qi Yaojiu smiled and replied, "It's a good thing that the company is developing better and better. By the way, I have a new script and I'd like to ask writer Nim to take a look at it."

Kim Eun-sook turned her laptop around and said to Ki Yo-gu, "I'm also preparing a new work, and I was thinking of calling Representative-nim when he has time to go over it with me."

Qi Yaojiu looked at the laptop screen curiously.

He thought Kim Eun-sook's new work was "Descendants of the Sun".

When I saw how the work was tentatively titled "Mature Men", I was stunned for a moment.

I quickly glanced at the content and it looked very familiar. It was "Gentleman's Dignity". I remembered that the TV series was called this name.

"dong dong dong"

The office door was not closed.

The person knocking on the door was Li Enying.

Standing at the door and watching Qi Yaojiu standing in front of the work, he said, "Representative Nim, are you going to tell the reporters about the new program co-operation with S Broadcasting Station today?"

"Oh, yes, let me tell the reporters I know. Have you finished inviting all the actors?"

The company's intern writer Zhao Enhui is responsible for inviting the performers. Li Enying has always had a good relationship with several intern writers. She will take the initiative to help if there is anything she can do, and never acts like a senior or producer.

It was also because of the influence of Qi Yaojiu that people in the same company are colleagues of the same status, and no one is special.

Therefore, Lee Eun-young also participated in the work of inviting new program performers.

She is mainly responsible for confirming the appearances of Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon with Leon Entertainment and MBK Entertainment.

Writer Cho Eun-hye is responsible for inviting others.

The invitations had been counted, but just now when writers Li Enying and Zhao Enhui were chatting, they suddenly realized that one person was missed.

I was thinking of confirming the invitation as soon as I finished the current task, but Qi Yaojiu asked this question first.

Writer Lee Eun-young was a little hesitant because she was worried that Ki Yoo-jiu would blame writer Cho Eun-hye.

But he had to say it, so he finally said carefully: "I accidentally missed the actress Liu Renna Xi when I invited her before. She just hasn't confirmed her appearance on the new show yet."

Li Enying was prepared to be scolded.

In the end, Qi Yaojiu simply said, "Immediately ask writer Zhao Enhui to confirm the invitation. Before telling the reporter about the new program, you must ensure that all the performers are listed. The list should also be given to the reporter. Please write an article that will raise expectations."

“Okay, I’ll do it right away.”

Ki Yo-gu returned to the topic of the drama script and told Kim Eun-sook, "Writer Nim's new work is worth any support. If there's any unresolved details with the broadcasting station, I'll go and discuss it. I think this script is very interesting and would be a good fit for M Broadcasting Station."
