106. Assemble

“No, what are you doing here! A well-known writer!”

“These days, when you turn on the Internet, your news comes out!”

Ryu Min-woo and Park Jae-hyeok were excited and led Jae-ik to the table and served coffee. It was famous even when I was filming my winter vacation, but the status of Jaeik I feel recently was beyond my imagination.

“How you doing?”

“What are we? Take a picture, set up the lighting, and record the audio.”

“Hehe. Still, I’m making good use of the skills I learned from my older brothers.”

In particular, the lighting techniques learned from Ryu Min-woo were really useful. It was very useful not only for simple video shooting, but also for understanding lighting and capturing the picture I wanted, whether it be photography or whatever.

“Big. I’m proud, I’m proud Where can I go and say that I taught you lighting?”

“Absolutely. I learned the basics of lighting from my older brother. But don’t you have anything in particular scheduled or to do these days?”

“It’s the same every day.”

“Come out, have a cup of coffee, kill some time, eat, and leave work.”

“Same! White people now. I am Choi Min-seok, president of Easter Egg Studio.”

Choi Min-seok, who appeared wearing a hat to hide his thick hair, greeted with a sense of weight.

“I’m Song Jae-ik. I came here with the introduction of Youngjin hyung.”

“Are you PD Youngjin Na? If you say introduction, do you have a job for me?”

“No, brother. If you come, you should start by saying hello. I’ll talk about work as soon as I get back.”

“So. It’s been a while since my younger brother appeared as a great writer.”

“Then you guys went out and made money!”

At Choi Min-seok’s reaction, Ryu Min-woo and Park Jae-hyeok giggled and laughed. Even if he always says that, he knows how well Choi Min-seok maintains his company and takes care of his employees.

“I’m thinking of filming a drama. But we need production staff there.”

“Also! Then, of course, you’ve come to the right place! You know because you worked with PD Na Young-jin, but our skills are the best.”

“I already know. The genre is historical drama. It’s kind of like the kingdom of Mflix. It will be aired on OMCTV and the expected 12 episodes.”

“history···?”

“It’s not a traditional historical drama, it’s a zombie drama like a kingdom.”

“We collaborate with Mflix. The filming team conditions will also be met with the standard Mflix contract.”

At those words, Choi Min-seok grabbed Jae-ik’s hand. It was clear that the treatment and pay of the staff at Mflix would be better compared to other drama filming locations.

“I am confident in the drama. Whether it’s a historical drama or a modern drama, don’t worry and leave it to me.”

Of course, I have never filmed a historical drama, but the people here have decades of experience in the industry. If it was a historical drama, it would be a large-scale filming, and it’s not a job to hire a talented freelancer.

From the directing team to the production team, the shooting team, the lighting team, the simultaneous recording team, the equipment team, and the art team. How many people do you need for filming a drama?

“Huh, drama filming? Jaeik, are you even filming a drama? That’s great. Seeing things going like this, it seems that they are making their own rather than outsourcing them, right?”

“Somehow, it happened that way. There will also be some staff that I personally hired. I would appreciate it if you could control the number of people together.”

“That’s it, don’t worry. Collaboration is always a thing, isn’t it?”

“Then I would appreciate it if you could organize a production team as soon as possible.”

“Do not worry. I will make it perfect.”

Jaeik wrote down his Mflix contact number and stood up.

“Are you going already?”

“yes. I have somewhere else to go.”

“Sorry! Still, it’s good to see you after a long time!”

“I’ll see you soon. What? I’ll just get up! See you next time! Please give my regards to Youngjae too!”

“yes! yes, yes Go carefully!”

“Yes~ see you next time!”

Seeing Jae-Ik rushing out of the room wondering why he was so busy, Ryu Min-woo smiled and waved his hand at Choi Min-seok.

“Brother, look. Because everything will be fine.”

“So. Because everything is fine.”

At the words of Ryu Min-woo and Park Jae-hyeok, Choi Min-seok clenched his fist and put it down repeatedly as if he was outraged. How can you be so nasty?

“Oh, if you can’t even speak! Anyway, if you have a job, let’s all work now! call the kids Before the schedule is finalized, ask everyone to play while they can. After filming a drama, there is no time to rest.”

“Yeah- Youngjae hyung will be surprised when he comes.”

“by the way.”

When everyone is busy with the work they have just entered. Ryu Min-woo, who was fiddling with his phone, tilted his head with a strange expression.

“But doesn’t it usually take at least six months to make a drama even if it’s filmed right away?”

“right? Besides, since it’s a historical drama, you never know what will happen.”

“Then, who did I, the PD, introduce us to Jaeik to film with? I won’t be back to work soon.”

“uh···? I know?”

—

“Keuk . . . Nothing deserves it.”

“I know. Whoa… I thought the drama would work out so well.”

“a. Still, where does the script keep coming in like this! Before this, my job was to go to auditions every day.”

“okay. Let’s think good!”

Jae Ik’s Drama Became a Villain Jin Gyu-hyeok, who appeared as a scene stealer in season 1, received quite a spotlight after the drama aired, but it was only for three months.

Of course, it was better than before filming the drama, but the thirst for acting was still going on.

“By the way, how is Jesu?”

At the manager’s question, Jin Gyu-hyeok’s expression hardened slightly, then he smiled again.

Postpartum pain or postpartum pain. I gave birth to a child, but I was worried because my wife’s health was not good.

“It has improved a lot. Still, I need to do something. I’m sorry for being such a bad husband.”

The bitterness lingering in his words could not be erased. And when the atmosphere subsided for a moment, Jin Gyu-hyeok clapping his hands and arousing the atmosphere.

“Come on, let’s work. Work. Work. I have to do something to feed my wife Korean beef.”

It was because he was so concerned that the atmosphere had subsided for a moment because of himself.

with my daughter-

“who are you?”

“Okay. Can you take this?”

“Oh yes! Wait.”

At that moment, the door of the small agency opened and someone grunted and entered with their luggage. It was to the extent that I couldn’t tell who the hell was the number of boxes and whose faces were covered.

The manager was surprised to see her almost collapsing and received the box.

“uh? Author!”

Jin Gyu-hyeok was startled and shouted at the sight of him putting down the remaining box and wiping his sweat. Why did Song Jae-ik come out of here all of a sudden?

“It’s been a while, Gyu-hyuk. How are you?”

“No, what are you doing here?”

“I heard that your wife gave birth. When you give birth, you should eat well. I don’t know if it’s too late.”

It was because the gifts Jaeik brought back were enough to literally feed them for a whole month, from Korean beef, which is said to be good for new mothers, to octopus, seaweed, abalone, and various nutritional supplements.

“No, what is this?”

“It’s like this. Of course you have to buy it. Right after giving birth is the most important. They say you need to take care of high-protein foods. All nutrients.”

Jin Gyu-hyeok felt a moment of sadness at Jae-ik’s heartfelt thoughts.

“Oh, Writer. Greetings are late.”

After organizing Jaeik’s presents, the manager belatedly came into the meeting room and greeted Jaeik. Wasn’t Jaeik a very important person?

“hello! Long time no see. Kyu-hyeok, do you have any works that you are going into right now?”

I asked a question while looking at the script scattered around Jaeik’s conference room. It was because I never thought that there would be a work to enter. When I asked around, I heard that there are no works that I am currently entering.

“Oh, no. I’m just taking a look. The script came in. No work has been entered yet.”

“Five! Yes? I’m glad that I was wondering what to do if there was!”

Jaeik smiled at the answer and took the script out of his bag.

“Could it be that the author’s new work…?”

“yes. It will be aired on OMCTV. Co-produced with Mflix.”

“It must be done! must!”

Jin Gyu-hyeok pulled the script to himself as if he would do it of course.

“Is it a historical drama? What role should I play?”

Jin Gyu-hyeok opened the script and listened to it as if he was excited. It didn’t matter what the genre was. Because I knew very well that Jaeik’s scripts do not cover genres.

Jin Gyu-hyeok skimmed over the names of supporting characters who appear naturally.

“It went too low. more on top. above. right wing. Janghyun.”

“yes?!”

Usually, of course, the order of character introduction was in the order of the lead and supporting actors, and the role of Janghyeon, as Jaeik said, was quite high. It’s also a lot higher than you think.

After reading the introduction, it is an escort warrior. That too, the taxpayer. It was clear that there would be a lot of it.

“This time, it’s not a role to die early. We keep going to the pool until episode 12.”

At those words, Jin Gyu-hyuk stared blankly at Jae-ik with a troubled expression, unable to find anything to say.

what do you say He must be just one of the supporting actors who appeared in his own drama.

“Instead, since it’s the role of an escort warrior, you’ll have to build up your body and go to action school.”

“Of course!”

Jin Gyu-hyeok obviously didn’t know, but Jang-hyeon’s role was not simply that of an escort.

It was a very important role in the drama that could be focused once if you acted properly.

That’s why it was also a role I wanted to leave to Jin Kyu-hyuk, who showed impressive acting in I Decided to Become a Villain.

“Then I will contact you soon. Until then, work hard on your body!”

Seeing Jin Gyu-hyeok in trouble, Jae-ik asked once more and left the agency building. The day was very short. There were many things to do and many places to visit.

—

“It’s hard! tiring.”

I must have left the office in the morning, but when I came back to the office, it was late afternoon as work time was approaching.

“Have you been? Have you finished casting?”

“Hey. Fortunately, I was able to cast everyone I thought of.”

“I’m glad. After all, filming a drama isn’t easy.”

“right. The process before filming is also unusual. Now I have to audition too. Still, I think I can start filming soon.”

There were actors who fit the image I had in mind from the time I was writing the script. I was going to pass the script to those actors, and I had already posted audition notices for other roles.

If Mflix hadn’t helped me, it was clear that I would have been lost in many areas.

Gee-!

office alone.

“yes. Jeongyeon.”

– I saw the text! drama! Oh my gosh. Why are you filming a drama now?

“Somehow it happened that way.”

– What the hell are you trying to do next? Please tell me in advance. don’t be surprised That’s too bad. Although this is also Jaeik’s drama.

Jeongyeon Decided to Become a Villain Season 2 was in full swing, and since she is a leading character, filming here was unthinkable.

– By the way, what did you text? Is there anything you want to ask?

“Haha. Yes. I have a question for you. About celebrities?”

– Ask me anything!

“Anyway, I have to cast actors, but I don’t know much about actors. Is it acting or personality?”

Of course, acting was important, but I had no intention of selecting actors with poor personalities just because acting covered everything. Because it’s his first drama, he just hopes there won’t be any noise.

– Whoa! I know that too well! Because there is a lot of news to hear from all over the place! Ask anyone!

“The actor I’m thinking of right now is Song Joon-shik in the lead role, right?”

– Whoa! The learner will never do that. It’s completely different. You’re not at the top level of recognition, but the actions you take or the treatment you want to receive are Hollywood stars?

“Five. Really? It would be perfect if there would be trouble if I cast for nothing. It’s also nice that you called Jeongyeon.”

– Ehehe. ask again Who else are you thinking of?

“Then how about this actor? I thought of it as a leading role.”

– like! I have a very good personality. The pure enthusiasm for perfect acting is also amazing!

—

The phone call with Jeongyeon took longer than expected, so I had to leave the office after 10pm. It was already late at night and most of the staff had left work.

While going down the stairs, not the elevator, I questioned the office on the third floor, which was still lit, and opened the door and entered.

“uh? Mr. Suin?”

In the dark office where everyone had left work, only Joo Soo-in continued to fiddle with something, frowning and tapping the keyboard.

“Ah, boss.”

When Jae-Ik entered, Joo Soo-in scratched his head with an embarrassed expression and stood in front of Jae-Ik, covering the monitor.

And I remembered the words Sunkang Kangseok spilled as if passing by.

‘I heard that he was thinking about web dramas and web entertainment, so Joo Soo-in was the most excited. I came here and filmed Youtube videos well and I am working hard, but it seems that I still have a lot of regrets about filming dramas and movies.’

Judging from what I saw before covering it up, it seemed like I was studying the know-how of shooting and the feeling of using the lens.

I was embarrassed to show it, so I wondered if I would have covered it up.

“I have a lot of trouble until late. Take it easy though. Your health comes first.”

“Ah yes···”

Seeing that, Jaeik smiled and left the office without asking further questions.

I think I just found the last piece.
