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

Chapter 92 Xiao Shuo, Nuna won't hold you back.

"Anything is fine with me."

It's just a cameo appearance; it's not like I'm playing any important role. I might only make up a minute or two in the final cut.

Han Shuo wasn't particularly concerned about it.

However, since we're going to make a special trip to come and guest star, it's necessary to maximize the impact and benefits of our guest appearances.

He doesn't need this little bit of exposure.

The new talents under their wing are eagerly awaiting their guidance.

"However, if possible, I have a request: I hope Writer Kim can give our children some opportunities to perform."

His tone was rather polite.

However, he believed that Kim Eun-sook would not refuse.

It's just a cameo opportunity; it doesn't matter how many people you put in.

Since that's the case, it doesn't matter who it's given to.

"Of course, could you tell me more about the situation?"

Kim Eun-sook opened her laptop and gestured for Han Seok to discuss the number of people who would be making cameo appearances and the requirements.

Han Shuo is not only a rising star who is incredibly popular, but also a partner of "On Air," having purchased the rights to the drama in China.

They can easily squeeze in trainees and newcomers from Fanxing Entertainment if they want.

"Our company will launch a limited-time all-female band with a total of six members in the second half of the year."

Han Shuo wants to make Fanxing Entertainment bigger and stronger, so he will definitely continue to launch new idol groups, but the format of a girl group greatly surprised Kim Eun-sook.

She circled "all-female band": "The market for domestic bands seems to be limited, let alone all-female bands."

"Yes."

Han Seok explained the rules for the company's limited-time group to Kim Eun-sook: "We don't have high requirements for the performance of the limited-time group, so we can try out more novel ways to play."

"As expected of Director Han, he always manages to come up with unexpected new ways to play."

Kim Eun-sook continued to inquire about Han Seok's intentions: "What are your requirements for their performance and character portrayals?"

"They are still newcomers, and their instrumental skills are not yet up to par. I want to show their struggle and frustration when they feel they have no way out."

Han Shuo described the characteristics of the six people as if they were his own treasures.

Jeon Boram, a seemingly soft and cute girl with a strong inner resilience, found catharsis in the drum kit – a wild and unruly loli.

Lee Qri, a Shibuya gyaru (gal) style girl who always strives for a perfect image and always dresses impeccably.

The gentle-natured Cao Bao'er, the secretly passionate Park Hyo-min, the fragile Kim Ji-won with only a quarter of an hour of energy, and Shin Yoon-joo, the team's logistics manager.

"Hmm—this—"

Kim Eun-sook put down her pen, her eyes showing surprise: "Based on your setup, I feel like they could each star in their own movie."

"Yeah?"

Han Shuo thought to himself that maybe they could launch a vlog format ahead of time, depending on the performance of the six people, which would be another kind of drama.

He said politely, "Writer Jin, you don't need to feel pressured."

"I'm just providing a general direction to give you a preliminary impression. I'll send you their resumes later, but the final decision is up to you."

"No, no, no, I just think you have a lot of ideas."

The fact that Han Shuo can readily name the characteristics and suitable personas of many of his trainees demonstrates his deep understanding of these girls.

Kim Eun-sook marked it with an asterisk in her notebook.

"The proposed scenario is quite interesting, making people look forward to meeting the six of them. I will discuss the feasibility with the team in detail."

None of these six people are currently members of the backup dancer group.

She knew that Han Shuo probably had other candidates to recommend: "Director Han, let's continue."

"Also, the new actors Li Liuxi and child actress Wen Jiaying who recently transferred to our company, just act according to the image of new actors and child actresses."

With Lee Liu-hee and Moon Ga-young joining Star Entertainment, their career plans will naturally change.

Han Shuo has high expectations for the two actresses, hoping they won't be fixated on the amount of screen time, but will try different roles and boldly break through their old images.

"Is there anything else?"

"Just the few of them."

Kim Eun-sook thought Han Seok was embarrassed: "Director Han, our drama focuses on the behind-the-scenes stories of Korean dramas, and this kind of subject matter allows for a lot of roles to be played."

Her meaning was very simple.

This is an implication that Han Shuo can boldly nominate candidates.

That's enough.

Fanxing Entertainment has a large number of trainees; anyone can come and make an appearance, even if it's just a cameo role.

But it's unnecessary.

Han Shuo intentionally used this method to establish a consensus among the trainees:

Only those who perform well will receive resources from the company; otherwise, it's out of the question.

This method of fostering competition among trainees is far more scientific and reliable than the tyrannical management style currently employed by many music companies.

"If there are any suitable candidates later, please feel free to contact me."

The guest appearance arrangement for the drama series is a minor issue, and there's no need for Kim Eun-sook to come and discuss it in person. She came here today for another purpose.

She flipped to the last page of her notebook: "Director Han, I have a vague idea in my head that's somewhat related to you. I'd like to ask you some questions, is that alright?"

"Really? Please go ahead."

Han Seok was unaware that he had actually inspired Kim Eun-sook.

Kim Eun-sook spoke with great enthusiasm: "In you, I see a unique youthful energy and the aura of a successful person."

"I want to write a script that combines elements of school, idols, and elites."

Kim Eun-sook's words also inspired Han Seok.

Campus, idols, elites—isn't this just like "The Heirs"?

You've come to the right person.

He cleverly helped Kim Eun-sook concretize her inspiration with a spontaneous idea.

For example, one could focus on the heirs of the top 1% of wealthy families.

Of course, that's all there is to it, and it doesn't involve specific character designs or plot points. Even so, it still greatly inspired Kim Eun-sook.

They said that if a subsequent script is produced, he must be credited as a creative consultant.

"Director Han, if it's possible, could we—"

Just a short interview was enough to take her inspiration a big step towards turning it into a script.

If Kim Eun-sook could have a few more detailed conversations with Han Seok, she couldn't imagine how fast the script's progress would have accelerated.

She looked at Han Shuo with great enthusiasm.

Han Shuo tilted his head and smiled, saying, "I'm really looking forward to participating in the next national hit drama project."

Kim Eun-sook is one of the top screenwriters in South Korea, and her dramas have achieved both critical acclaim and high viewership ratings.

Maybe we can recruit them into our ranks in the future.

"If there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate, Writer Jin. Maybe it's an investment issue, and I can help resolve that too."

"...

"What?"

Inside the nanny van.

Song Yoon-ah leaned back gracefully, glancing at Han Shuo with a soft, alluring look in her eyes: "Is it really true~?"

In fact, she had heard Han Shuo make up a taboo story about a wife and bodyguard on the spot, so she knew that Han Shuo had a talent for making up stories.

He was just teasing the little guy in front of him on purpose.

Han Shuo clutched his chest, feigning hurt: "Noona, I was hoping to learn screenwriting skills from writer Kim Eun-sook and create a drama for you—"
