Peninsula: The Great Producer

The opening ceremony took place promptly at 9:45 a.m., supposedly because S Broadcasting Corporation consulted a shaman at Nonhyeon-dong to ensure the timing was right.

The opening ceremony hosted by Qi Yaojiu was still very brief. After the main actors and crew members offered incense and cut the suckling pig together, the ceremony ended.

The reporters invited by S Broadcasting Station had previously attended the opening ceremony of Ki Yoo-gu's "Secret Garden," so they were familiar with the process. There was a half-hour interview session before the official start of filming, and after the official start of filming, they would also spend a day with the crew to experience the process of filming a TV series.

During this period, the production crew provided meals and drinks for the reporters at noon and in the evening, and the Qi Yao Jiu production crew, as always, treated them to high-standard meals.

It wasn't prepared specifically for the reporters; rather, the meal allowance in the budget of the Qi Yao Jiu production team has never been less than 2%.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set in the west.

The atmosphere at the Incheon recording studio was very lively.

Previously, only four main actors had visited the billion-dollar recording studio, which was officially opened to the public today.

The two filming locations, a high-end luxury apartment and a nearby converted library, correspond to the homes of the male and female protagonists, respectively. The male protagonist's home, in particular, was built quite lavishly and required editing to piece it together in post-production.

The staff politely saw the reporter team off; tomorrow morning's news report is definitely something to look forward to.

The remaining actors who still had scenes to film quickly joined Qi Yaojiu for their scenes.

This is also Qi Yaojiu's habit when filming TV dramas. Before each scene begins to be filmed, he will go through the scene with the actors waiting to be filmed. The goal is not to get it right in one take, but to ensure that the take is perfect.

Logically, Yoo In-na should have been able to go home if she didn't have any scenes to film at night, but she stayed on set instead.

She was waiting, waiting for Lee Ji-eun to visit the set.

While waiting, Yoo In-na didn't sit idle. She sat in the rest area with her phone, editing photos and thinking about which photos to use and what captions to add to her personal social media account.

It's kind of a brag, since Yoo In-na received a coffee truck from Lee Ji-eun as a show of support when filming started today.

Around the same time, in Incheon city.

The afternoon filming took a little longer than usual, and by the time Lee Ji-eun had removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and gotten into the car to return to Incheon from Suwon, it was already past 6 p.m.

As darkness fell, snowflakes drifted in the wind under the glow of the streetlights.

Bae Jong-han, in the driver's seat, felt a pang of sympathy as he looked in the rearview mirror at Lee Ji-eun, who was asleep with her head resting against the glass window.

He wanted to take Lee Ji-eun back to her dorm to rest immediately, but he knew that Lee Ji-eun couldn't do it without going to Ki Yo-gu's film set tonight.

Not daring to drive too fast in the snowy weather, Pei Zhonghan could only silently pray that Lee Ji-eun would finish her trip there soon and return to her dormitory to rest.

Around 8 p.m., Bae Jong-han drove to the filming location in Incheon following the navigation.

From a distance, it looks like a large factory workshop.

There were many MPVs parked at the entrance, carrying celebrities, and Qi Yaojiu's Mercedes-Benz G500 was also spotted.
"I am grateful."

It awakened Lee Ji-eun.

Lee Ji-eun, still asleep, stretched and hummed softly with her eyes closed, "Mmmmmm~"

Pei Zhonghan parked the car and turned to look at the back seat.

Lee Ji-eun wasn't awake at all; what she just did was an instinctive reaction.

"Ji-eun, we've arrived."

After being reminded again, Lee Ji-eun, who was sleeping by the car window, finally raised her hand, rubbed her eyes, and slowly woke up.

He wiped his mouth, a gesture that made Pei Zhonghan laugh and say, "You weren't drooling."

Cheer up and ask Bae Jong-han, "Oppa, when did I fall asleep?"

Pei Zhonghan shook his head and said, "I didn't notice either. It's just that you sleep very quietly."

"Is Oppa upset that I don't snore?"

"You snore too."

"Um, what time is it now?" "Almost 8 o'clock."

Seeing that it was pitch black outside the window, Lee Ji-eun moved a couple of times to open the car door.

Pei Zhonghan immediately stopped him, saying, "I'll open the door. You put on your coat first."

Lee Ji-eun was well aware of the cold, especially since the temperature difference between day and night was very large after nightfall.

I estimate that the outside temperature has already dropped below zero.

In fact, being an actor is not much easier than being an idol singer.

No matter how harsh the environment, idol singers must stay on stage as long as the stage remains open, even in torrential rain or snow.

Of course, even in sub-zero temperatures, idol singers will perform in thin stage outfits.

Although the actors don't have to sing or dance on stage, they still have to film summer scenes in winter and winter scenes in summer, and then there are water scenes, which is something that most people can't handle.

As soon as I put on my down jacket and opened the car door, a gust of cold wind rushed out.

After getting out of the car, Lee Ji-eun touched her pocket, turned around, opened her bag, and took out a box of hand warmers.

"Oppa, just wait for me in the car."

Bae Jong-han waved his hand and said, "I'll go with you. Otherwise, if PD Ki sees you're the only one there, he'll think I'm being irresponsible as his manager."

"Will not"

"Yes, if you accidentally fall or something, PD Qi will definitely hold me accountable."

Lee Ji-eun didn't insist that Bae Jong-han wait for her in the car. She was worried that Bae Jong-han would get cold. The environment of the recording studio wasn't perfect. Before coming, Lee Ji-eun had asked Yoo In-na, and she learned that the only time to go was during breaks to go into the car to enjoy the air conditioning or to move around on set and use hand warmers to keep warm.

He jogged into the factory gate.

The massive complex of buildings came into view.

If it weren't for the factory-like exterior, Lee Ji-eun and Bae Jong-han would have thought they had arrived at a luxury apartment building.

The first thing you see is two extra-long and extra-wide outdoor balconies right next to each other.

Through the glass windows of the balcony, you can see the luxurious living rooms of the two rooms behind, with lights on. The furniture, lighting, and everything in sight are top-of-the-line.

"shush"

Lee Ji-eun made a shushing gesture.

It looks like they're filming in the house on the right.

Bae Jong-han glanced around. He was taller and could see more clearly. After looking closely, he whispered, "Lee Min-ho, I see him. He's talking to PD Ki."

Lee Ji-eun stood on tiptoe, wanting to catch a glimpse.

I not only want to see Ki Yo-gu, but I also want to see Lee Min-ho in person.

I had only seen it on TV before. I also like the drama "Boys Over Flowers". Unlike many people who like Kim Hyun Joong, who plays Yoon Ji-hoo, I like the character Gu Jun-pyo played by Lee Min-ho in the drama.

"Knowing Gratitude"

Turning his head, Kim Ji-hwan, who was passing by, saw Lee Ji-eun and Bae Jong-han.

"Ji-hwan oppa".

Approaching, Jin Zhihuan asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly come?"

Following Lee Ji-eun's gaze, Kim Ji-hwan added, "Producer Ki didn't tell us you were coming today."

Before Lee Ji-eun could speak, Kim Ji-hwan nodded smugly and said, "Oh, I see, you want to give PD Ki a surprise, right?" (End of Chapter)
