Peninsula: The Great Producer

Suwon
Lee Ji-eun, who got up early, ate kimbap while waiting for her makeup and hair.

Bae Jong-han handed Lee Ji-eun a carton of milk, saying, "Go back to Seoul right after filming this afternoon?"

Lee Ji-eun nodded and hummed, "Yes, and Oppa, remember to order a coffee truck to deliver it to the filming location in Incheon."

Bae Jong-han asked in confusion, "Isn't it the French town in Seoul?"

Lee Ji-eun slowly shook her head and said, "The opening ceremony this morning was in a French town, and the afternoon scenes will be filmed in a recording studio in Incheon. I asked Inna unnie."

Bae Jong-han muttered with a half-smile, "Oh, so you asked the informant."

"What? Oppa?"

"It's nothing, just saying."

Lee Ji-eun took a bite of kimbap and choked a little. She quickly sipped some milk, patted her chest, and sighed, "I still can't eat kimbap in the morning."

Bae Jong-han glanced around to make sure no one else was there, and chimed in, "To be honest, this group is really stingy."

Lee Ji-eun looked puzzled.

It's alright. The crew provides boxed meals every day, as well as breakfast and late-night snacks, and they also provide fruit for the actors.

Bae Jong-han said in a low voice, "I still prefer working with PD Ki."

Compared to this? There's no comparison at all.

“IUxi”

Hearing the call, Lee Ji-eun raised her hand in response: "Coming."

Before parting ways, she reminded Bae Jong-han again to arrange for a coffee truck to go to the Incheon recording studio, with a sign that read "Inna unnie, fighting! IU is here."

Watching Lee Ji-eun jog away, Bae Jong-han muttered, "A support coffee truck for Yoo In-na? Shouldn't it be for PD Ki? There's no rule that support coffee trucks can only be given to artists and not producers."

"This Ji-eun, she's in a rush to finish filming this afternoon and rush back to Seoul saying she's going to visit the set, but she doesn't even send a coffee truck. Is she playing hard to get? She's learned this trick at such a young age?"

the other side.

Seoul, a small French town.

It's hard to imagine that there is such an exotic town built against the mountains in the suburbs north of Seoul.

The concept of "internet celebrity" isn't popular yet, so not everyone knows about this place.

The mountaintop features Italian-style architecture, while the foot of the mountain features French-style architecture.

Normally, you have to buy a ticket to enter, visit, and take photos here. But today, the town's management company is making an exception and is only serving the "My Love from the Star" crew.

Ki Yo-gu arrived around 9 a.m. Kim Ji-hwan pointed to the staggered buildings and said to Ki Yo-gu, "PDnim's eye is really sharp. No one would doubt that this place was filmed overseas."

Qi Yaojiu replied, "We live in the internet age now."

"what?"

"Can't you find pictures of France online if you've never been to France?"

Kim Ji-hwan changed the subject, saying, "PDnim, I've spoken with the management company. They will not only fully cooperate with our filming during the location shooting schedule we submitted, but they also won't charge us any fees."

Qi Yaojiu gave a thumbs-up and praised, "On behalf of everyone, I thank Kim Ji-hwan FD for the late-night snack."

"what?"

"The money saved should be enough for a few very nice late-night snacks."

Kim Ji-hwan muttered, "It's not my doing. They were only willing to help for free because of PDnim's fame. However, they hope to promote the French town when the drama airs."

The publicity was something we did later.

Qi Yaojiu certainly knew that the most expensive thing in the world was free.

How could the management company be so kind as to offer free help and support?

Fortunately, promoting the French town was not difficult for Chi Yao-jiu at all. The broadcasting station had regulations that allowed Chi Yao-jiu to change the lines, as long as it did not violate advertising rules.

At 9:20, Yoo In-na arrived.

She went to greet the seniors who were attending the opening ceremony today, and then Liu Renna looked for Qi Yaojiu.

Seeing Qi Yaojiu standing under the miniature Eiffel Tower, raising his hands to the sky and making a framed gesture, Liu Renna cautiously walked over.

Qi Yaojiu was looking at the angle; what he was thinking about was the scene of the male protagonist flying in the sky after drinking too much.

The use of wire work and post-production special effects is undeniable, but wouldn't it have felt better if the framing were more realistic and not entirely based on green screens? —"Qi PD"

Turning his gaze away, Qi Yaojiu looked at Liu Renna standing in front of him.

With her hands behind her back, Yoo In-na bent slightly and said softly, "Um, I'm really sorry about last night."

Lowering his hand, Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "I should be thanking you last night."

"what?"

"Thank you for taking me home."

Liu Renna blinked rapidly.

My manager picked me up last night, and because of Ji-eun's request, I brought Ki-yo-gu along as well.

Yoo In-na only heard from her manager that she was holding Ki Yo-gu's hand and whispering in the car last night, but she didn't say anything else.

Could it be that Qi Yaojiu also drank too much last night and doesn't remember anything?

No way. If Qi Yao Jiu had drunk too much, his manager would definitely have said something. Besides, it's impossible for only one of the two drunk people to be so "active".

Ah, I see. High EQ. Qi Yaojiu is indeed high EQ. He said that because he didn't want to embarrass himself.

Yoo In-na shook her head and said, "Producer Ki, you don't need to be so polite. Last night, it was actually Ji-eun who asked me to make sure you took Producer Ki home."

Qi Yaojiu nodded and said, "I know, but I still want to thank you."

"Then I..."

Pointing behind her, Yoo In-na felt she had to leave immediately.

Qi Yaojiu nodded again and said, "Go and prepare, I also have things to do."

Turning around, Yoo In-na let out a long sigh, unsure of what to say next.

After walking a few steps, Yoo In-na realized something was wrong.

Qi Yaojiu knew that Zhi'en had asked him to take her home last night, so Qi Yaojiu hadn't drunk too much at all. He remembered everything he said in the car. Oh no, how was he going to explain this to Zhi'en? How was he going to face Qi Yaojiu in the future?

What if Qi Yao Jiu tells Li Zhi En about what happened last night? Will there be any misunderstandings?

No, I still need to explain things to Qi Yaojiu first and then ask him to forget about last night.

Turn around again.

Qi Yaojiu, who was just standing under the Eiffel Tower, has disappeared.

Ding

Just then, a text message notification sounded.

Liu Renna took out her phone and glanced at it. After confirming that it was a message from Li Zhi'en, she quickly unlocked her phone screen and entered the text message chat box.

Standing there, Yoo In-na looked up at the sky and sighed.

It's true what they say, what you fear most has come to pass.

In the text message, Lee Ji-eun said that she would go back to Seoul after filming in the afternoon and come to visit the set in the evening, asking if Yoo In-na had any scenes tonight.

This is too obvious.

She definitely didn't come to visit me on set, otherwise she wouldn't have asked me if I had any scenes to film that night.

Could it be that Qi Yaojiu already spoke with Li Zhi'en on the phone last night?
Today, Lee Ji-eun came to visit the set to settle scores with me later?
Damn memories! My brain needs to work faster. What exactly did I say to Qi Yaojiu in the car last night? I need to remember quickly.

It's in the woods behind the mountain not far away.

Qi Yaojiu is inspecting the location. After the opening ceremony, this will be the filming location for the first segment, where the male lead and his fellow "aliens" will land here to collect information about plants on Earth.

At this moment, Qi Yaojiu was preoccupied with filming and had no thought about what had happened last night.

Contrary to what Yoo In-na feared, Ki Yoo-gu did not speak to Lee Ji-eun on the phone last night.

Even if they talk on the phone, Ki Yo-gu won't say a single word to Lee Ji-eun.

Because what Yoo In-na told Ki Yo-gu last night was all about Lee Ji-eun, and it was a lot of information, and it was so explosive that absolutely no one could know about it.

This is information that only close female friends can exchange. It's true, the information records between women's best friends and men's browsing history are the most important secrets in the world. (End of Chapter)
