Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 129 Taking a nap anywhere

"Director Han, let's shoot one version first and see how it goes."

"no problem."

SBS Television, Inkigayo Recording Room.

Han Seok and Kim Yoon-ji walked onto the stage.

Four female dancers followed closely behind him.

This time, we're filming a scene from "On Air" where Kim Yoon-ji wins her first number one spot with the song "If You Love Me."

Six people warm up in place.

This time, no male backup dancers were hired.

They had Moon Hyun-ah and Ni Ni put on makeup, wear androgynous clothes and baseball caps, and temporarily play male backup dancers, respectively, to work with Park Kyung-ri and Kang Han-na.

"Hyun-ah, Nini, be careful not to look at the camera, or you'll give yourself away."

"But there's no need to be nervous. When we start filming, the camera will blur the four of you. The one you should really worry about is me—" Han Shuo pointed back to himself: "It should be me."

He played two roles.

"clear."

aside.

Kim Yoon-ji bit her lower lip, trying her best to keep from laughing.

The idea is that hiring male backup dancers temporarily might not be able to grasp the essence of the dance quickly, so it would be better to have female trainees from Fanxing Entertainment dress up as men.

Is this really the case?

Obviously not.

Han Shuo simply didn't want his woman to dance this dance with another man.

Just as he wore heavy makeup and disguised himself to cooperate with her on stage, it was also to prevent her from collaborating with other men.

This is a true domineering CEO.

"Don't rush to remove your makeup later, I want to take a picture with you."

Kim Yoon-ji stepped forward.

Han Shuo's disguise this time leans towards an underground rapper style, with another pair of fake earrings, another set of temporary tattoos, and his face makeup is a bit rough.

If you don't look closely, you really won't recognize him.

Han Shuo didn't reply, but gave Kim Yoon-ji a knowing look.

All six dancers had solid steps, and the rehearsal went smoothly.

The actual filming was also completed in one take.

Finally, Kim Yoon-ji delivered her acceptance speech.

offstage.

Han Shuo was surrounded by a group of high-ranking TV station executives.

"Director Han, this choreography is really popular among artists lately. I wonder when we'll be able to see it performed on stage?"

"Yes, the melody of this song is catchy and the choreography is sweet. If it is officially released, it will definitely sweep the music scene."

The TV station's management team showered him with flattery.

Judging from their enthusiastic adulation, someone who didn't know better might think that Han Seok had taken over SBS TV and was their boss.

Han Shuo was fully aware of what these people were thinking.

They simply heard that he had obtained a large cash flow with the help of the Cultural Institute and hoped to sell him more TV dramas and variety shows.

"Since we're buying the rights to several industry award ceremonies, then let's have our station's year-end acting, variety show, and music awards—"

One of the executives smiled and clasped his hands, looking at him with a fawning expression.

Every year at the end of the year, the three major terrestrial television stations on the peninsula review the performance of their dramas and variety shows, and award outstanding artists and behind-the-scenes teams.

That is, acting skills and performing arts awards.

The target audience for these two parts is mainly the artist's die-hard fans; they have little intrinsic value and are more of a bonus.

In addition, there will be large-scale song and dance stages similar to the New Year's Eve galas of major TV stations in China, though the names will vary.

SBS calls it the Gayo Daejeon, MBC calls it the Gayo Daejejeon, and KBS calls it the Gayo Daechu.

The event will invite a large number of popular singers to participate, and will feature a variety of creative arrangements and cross-group collaborations, resulting in a spectacular show and many classic performances.

You definitely won't regret buying it.

"We can talk about the music awards, but as for acting and the entertainment awards—"

Han Shuo shrugged, indicating that he was not interested.

"Director Han, please listen to me."

Several high-level executives surrounded him and started promoting their products.

It's all about being for Chinese fans, and the price isn't high.

"Then let our colleagues from the copyright department come over and discuss it. If the price is right, it's not impossible to buy it."

I previously bought four dramas including "On Air" and "Iljimae", plus "Inkigayo" from the previous sixteen years. A few days ago, I also bought "X-Man" and "Love Letter".

This time, I'm going to be involved in the year-end acting competitions, entertainment awards, and music festivals for the next seven years.

They are also expected to launch their second procurement of the year in the second half of the year, purchasing more TV dramas and variety shows.

Han Shuo experienced the treatment one would expect from a wealthy patron.

SBS staff are all incredibly obsequious.

The Baeksang Arts Awards on Thursday were broadcast live by SBS.

He expressed his desire to interact with the artists and audience during his performances and hoped that SBS could provide some assistance.

SBS immediately called in the PD in charge of the day's broadcast.

Listen to his requests throughout the process and provide solutions for each one.

He said he needed to rest for a while.

The station immediately provided him with a luxurious lounge.

Even the disposable trophy prop for Kim Yoon-ji was made with great care: "Look, they even specially made a trophy for me from Inkigayo, saying that I should keep it as a souvenir."

"Mmm—soft and fleshy."

Kim Yoon-ji shifted restlessly: "I mean the trophy."

I'm talking about your legs.

For today's stage performance, Kim Yoon-ji specially wore a pair of red hot pants, her pair of healthy, tanned legs boldly exposed to the air.

"You~"

Kim Yoon-ji knelt on the swivel chair, facing Han Seok.

She puffed out her chest proudly: "You can do whatever you want, but I heard that the resource allocation for the Chinese major is supposed to be announced today, is that right?"

Han Shuo nodded: "But your Chinese is still below average, so you'll probably only be able to get a music video role."

"Can't we use the back door?"

Kim Yoon-ji drove the rocking horse.

Han Shuo has complete control.

Big, peach-shaped buttocks.

He is always fair in serious matters; if something is right, it is right, and he would never act out of personal favoritism.

"Of course not. There's only one sweet duet song with a slight accent in this Chinese album, 'A Little Sweet,' which has already been given to Yoonjoo."

He pinched Kim Yoon-ji's chin and leaned in to moisten his lips: "If not this time, there's always next time. Besides, you already have 'If'..."

Did you hear "You Love Me"?

"Who would complain about having too many songs?"

Kim Yoon-ji leaned against Han Seok: "Then if you have any good songs that suit you, you should think of recommending me."

With the music show promotions entering their final week, the production of the Chinese album has entered a fast track.

in the afternoon.

Han Seok gathered all active artists and trainees and allocated resources for the Chinese album.

This Chinese album, released exclusively on wirelessly, contains a total of eleven songs, mainly about youth, school, nostalgia, growth, and the regret of parting.

"The song 'Time Thief' is planned to be changed from a duet to a solo for female singers, and 'The Wind Rises' will be released in both male and female versions."

This means there are two more singing positions.

Shin Yoon-joo already has "A Little Sweet", while Park So-yeon is diligently practicing her solo "Hello Tomorrow" and duet "If Love Is Forgotten".

The two are unlikely to participate in this competition.

Li Liuxi and the trainees present were all on tenterhooks.

"Ni Ni!"

An expected name came to everyone's ears.

"Me?"

Ni Ni stood up and laughed heartily: "Which song should I sing?"

Han Shuo pushed two sheets of sheet music and lyrics over: "Is it okay if I give them to you?"

Ni Ni was completely stunned: "Give it all to me? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"If you don't want it, then forget it."

"9

Han Shuo pretended to pull back.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ni Ni grabbed him tightly and held him in her arms like a precious treasure.

Her eyes, however, stole glances at Han Shuo. She cautiously took two steps back, glancing at Han Shuo twice, then back again, asking, "You really gave it to me?"

Han Shuo raised his hand and shook Ni Ni.

The other person, thinking he was being asked to retrieve a document, hurried up after him, muttering under their breath, "I knew it, humph~"

But as Ni Ni approached, he waved his hand dismissively: "What are you doing? Hurry up and sit back down."

Ni Ni: "Huh?"

"Shut your gaping maw and sit back down right now."

"Hehehe."

Ni Ni laughed so hard her eyes were almost blinding.

Now she finally realized that it was all real.

Han Shuo truly never speaks empty words. If he says that there will be opportunities for his compatriots to utilize their talents in domestic business, he will really give them important positions.

If it weren't for the large number of people...

I really want to sit on him until he dies.

aside.

The trainees who were not selected were visibly disappointed.

Even the seemingly useless Nazar showed a rare expression of discomfort.

Well, you're finally getting more ambitious.

Just as Fengchu Jin Yarong nibbled at his ear, he instantly became radiant and returned to his carefree self.

It's unbearable to look at.

"Don't be discouraged if you weren't selected; there will be plenty of resources available in the future."

Han Shuo looked around at the trainees in front of him and patiently comforted them, "Furthermore, this time the distribution channels are mainly ringtones, so we need to shoot a music video or a short video for each song."

"Yoonjoo, Soyeon, and Nini will each only film one video. The female leads for the remaining eight short videos will be chosen from among you."

The female protagonist in the eight short videos offered some solace to the audience.

Jiang Enhui clenched her fist.

She has to win one over.

"Below are three short dramas and short films that were shot at the same time."

These films are either about school or love, which conveniently allows them to incorporate Chinese songs into the storylines for a small promotional effect.

"This time, we're announcing the female leads for the next three short dramas and short films. We've already mentioned that Hannah will star in 'Suddenly Back to 18'."

"Liu Xi will play the female lead in 'The Beauty Inside'."

This was an arrangement that Han Shuo had already told her. Li Liuxi remained calm and silently went forward to retrieve the script.

"The TV series 'Let Me Disappear from the Earth' —"

The premise of this drama is very interesting.

The male protagonist repeatedly reincarnates during his three years of high school for some unknown reason, returning to the day he entered high school in his freshman year after each graduation ceremony.

The original timeline's script was too complicated and contained too many elements.

The first half is captivating, but the second half is long and tedious.

The most outrageous thing is that the male protagonist rejected the simp female protagonist in all 32 reincarnations.

In the 33rd reincarnation, the female lead suddenly awakens and stops pursuing the male lead. What should have been a story of the male lead chasing after his wife in a desperate attempt to win her back turned into a second male lead who ended up with the female lead.

At his direction, the new script was very concise.

The story revolves around the male protagonist pursuing the female protagonist, supplemented by comedic elements during his quest to uncover the principles of reincarnation with the second female lead, and indirectly includes several smaller stories featuring other female characters.

"The plot of this drama is quite complex, and there are several outstanding supporting characters."

"For example, you would play the role of the third female lead who betrays others, Nora."

Kwon Nara, like a little fool caught off guard by a pleasant surprise, asked, "Me?"

Her friend Park Min-ha stared at her, saying, "Nara actually has a talent for playing traitors?"

"She has none, she's like a blank sheet of paper."

Han Shuo didn't hold back in his criticism.

In the past, Kwon Nara acted in many dramas, including playing the lead role in "Unkillable," but her most outstanding role was as the second female lead in "Itaewon Class."

"But she has a very pretty face and a great figure, so it would be very surprising to see her playing this kind of role."

"If you only look at her appearance, the audience will like her, but if you look at her behavior, they will hate her. This back-and-forth might be quite interesting."

Kwon Nara pouted.

She's happy when people say she's pretty or has a good figure, but she really dislikes it when they say she's an idiot.

"For the 'vain group,' Eunhye, Qri, and Jiyeon, the three of you will take over; for the 'bullying group,' Hyunah, Yoonji, Ryuhee, and Eunjung, the four of you will handle it."

Jiang Enhui was a little unhappy.

If you become a supporting character, you'll never get the chance to be the female lead or the second female lead.

"For the academically gifted second female lead, a sweet appearance would be preferable. I have other plans regarding the casting. As for the female lead, who is a fan of the male lead—"

Is there even a question?

Han Seok glanced at Shin Yoon-joo.

Shin Yoon-joo was dazed, swinging her legs and looking around blankly, her lips pouting. She seemed to have given up hope, looking left and right.

Suddenly, their eyes met.

She understood his gaze and asked in a clear, crisp voice, "Is it me?"

Say thank you.

Han Shuo affectionately picked up the script and pushed it towards him.

"Thank you~"

Shin Yoon-joo, like a little penguin, swung her ponytail up and down as she rushed up.

"Read the script carefully. If your performance isn't up to par, we'll replace you."

"understood."

Han Shuo clapped his hands, signaling everyone to look over, and as usual offered encouragement and comfort.

In short, Star Entertainment's resources will only increase in the future, and anyone with the ability will receive a large amount of resource support.

"Eun-jung, Ryu-hee, you two have scenes to film this evening. I need to go to the film set soon, so come with me in my car."

Lee Yeon-hee and Ham Eun-jung played supporting roles in "On Air" and had to go to the set to film from time to time.

I never expected to be traveling with Han Shuo today.

The two of them were happier than the other, sitting on opposite sides, trying to keep Han Shuo company the whole time.

Han Shuo silenced Ham Eun-jung with just one sentence: "Eun-jung, you seem quite energetic today. Hopefully you won't fall asleep during standby again?"

Ham Eun-jung blushed slightly upon hearing this: "Ah, um, this—"

Lee Yeon-hee and Ham Eun-jung are the same age and best friends, so she quickly smoothed things over for her friend: "Are you just too tired lately?"

Ham Eun-jung said shyly, "I am a little tired, but I can actually sleep quite a lot."

You're a heavy sleeper?

They clearly slept wherever they pleased.

"It's good to be able to sleep, you can catch up on sleep anytime, but you still need to be careful. Next time I'll assign you an extra female assistant, so you don't fall asleep in places you shouldn't."

"Ah—this."

Why would a company ask for more manpower just because someone can sleep?

Ham Eun-jung looked at her friends for help.

Lee Yeon-hee often bothered Han Seok in private, and knowing that Han Seok was just teasing Ham Eun-jung, she smiled and helped to smooth things over: "Director, I will take good care of her."

"Alright."

The three chatted and laughed as the car arrived at the filming location.

Han Shuo had just exchanged a few words with the director when he received a text message from Song Yun'er, who implied that he should go into the small room.

Follow the instructions.

He stood at the door, wanting to observe his surroundings, when a hand pulled him straight inside.

These days, the older sisters seem to be quite popular.

The absurd flirting that happened on the phone last night was all over the place.
