107. Youngjin Na (1)

When the number of production staff for the drama has been finalized and various supporting and lead roles have been cast. The long-awaited news came from the United States.

[The movie behind the world by Song Jae-ik. Directed by Steven Spielberg!]

[Meeting between Korean writer and Hollywood master Steven Spielberg!]

[A Korean work chosen by Steven Spielberg?]

[Steven Spielberg “From the moment I saw the book for the first time and closed it, my head was filled with a pure desire to make this novel into a film.”]

Probably because it was the first PR that came out of Mflix, most of them were at the level of translating and scraping overseas articles. First of all, it was important to quickly export related facts. Even if I write a detailed article later.

Around the time news about Steven Spielberg hit the news. The atmosphere at the Challenge Everything Factory was burning rather quietly.

Perhaps because of the last meeting, each team leader conveyed the fact through a meeting right before the news broke. Rather, the employees were looking at their work as if they were in a battle stance.

“Data uploading.”

“All?”

“yes. All promotional material. First of all, I’m uploading a promotional video of meeting the directors on Youtube. I uploaded photos and comments on Archivist and put a link to the You Tube video.”

“I also posted photos and autographs with the directors on my personal gram.”

“OK. You worked hard.”

The Nutube team also served as a part of the PR team. Should I be in charge of promotional materials? That’s why I picked more people than the usual YouTube team.

Kang Seok looked at the data and contents uploaded according to the reports of the employees once again and nodded in satisfaction.

It was perfect. It’s like an act of pouring oil into a tanker into an Internet article that is burning right now.

“by the way. That’s right, chief. What is the true identity of the boss? You are quite a good friend.”

“Iknow, right. I also wonder sometimes. I wonder what the hell he really is.”

Heartily.

“The reaction is coming soon.”

Kang-seok’s cell phone was quickly ringing a notification at the team member’s report. With the notifications of interview texts and news articles about Jae-Ik coming from here and there.

“Please do the reaction checks. Please capture negative or fake news separately. This includes indiscriminate criticism or high-level profanity.”

“Has confirmed! But everyone’s reactions are amazing.”

“It goes without saying that he is an archivist.”

“Are the reporters busy taking dictation?”

Needless to say, publicity was going smoothly. That’s why Kang-seok himself searched for Jae-ik’s article. There is a clear difference between hearing it in words and seeing it for yourself.

[Are you really crazy? Steven Spielberg? The Steven we know, the Steven Spielberg?]

– I seem to have heard this story a hundred times more today. That’s Steven Spielberg, so stop it.

– No, if it’s strange, it might be. Aren’t you being too condescending?

– Check out how many posts on the bulletin board that are searched for by Spielberg in a day and come back. There is no news about Spielberg other than that he is the director.

– Oh sorry.

Archivist was simply Jaeik’s fan cafe, but if you look closely at it, it was also a cafe where all the different kinds of people gathered.

In the first place, Jaeik’s field of challenge was spread out in all kinds of ways, so it was possible.

In other words. This means that there are both experts and maniacs among them.

[Personally, I anticipate the Harry Potter class very carefully.]

– Excited n.

– Excitement is inevitable. Even so, just shut up! Don’t be in a hurry for nothing.

– no. Let’s be honest. not excitement. Now in the United States, only the world’s first copy has already been reprinted 5 times. USA only. It sold over 800,000 copies.

– yep. There is now an overseas export ahead. Don’t know how to react abroad? It’s crazy to ask for it to be delivered quickly in other countries? In other words, no one knows how many times the sales volume will be blown up.

– Even with the rumor that Spielberg will be made into a movie, the book purchase volume is already inflated.

[No, but why don’t you translate it into Korean? The author is Korean.]

– lets think. I wrote that novel in Korea. At least, did it really make a name for itself as a fantasy novel for children to read?

– It seems that the money earned was only one tenth of the level of the United States.

– Spielberg didn’t even direct it.

– You may not have met other directors. Seeing the promotional photos, the mulberry fills up. Big. godfather! star Wars!

Reporters were already residing at Archivist, busy receiving data and interpreted news posted by fancafe members. Right now, even if you post news about Jaeik, you will eat and go.

“It’s very upsetting.”

It was a very good fuss.

—

Mflix started publicity, and OMCTV started publicizing Jaeik’s drama extensively as if they had been waiting for it.

[The Korean drama debut of writer Song Jae-ik of the other side world.]

[Contract with OMCTV writer Song Jae-ik for 3 works!]

“uh. Well. So. You mean the number of inquiries has increased unbelievably since Spielberg’s news?”

– yes. Top celebrities, who often say how they knew it, rushed first. Everyone on this side is having a baby right now.

Certainly, the value of the name Spielberg is strong. It is said that both OMCTV and Mflix keep asking if they can read the script if they want to be in Song Jae-ik’s drama.

Some say that without even knowing that, the people who have already auditioned and are selected have a smile on their faces, as if they were on board.

“I don’t know. Acting ability and synchro rate are top priority. Next is personality.”

At those words, manager Kwon Ji-hyung licked his lips as if feeling sorry for him. To be honest, celebrities who can be called box office checks were also contacting me.

– yes. Okay. Let go of your worries! We will contact you as soon as the audition list is confirmed.

But I couldn’t go against Jae Ik’s words. No matter how much Misty does self-production, in the end, the artist is Song Jae-ik. And because Mflix’s investment money was also in Misty.

Unexpectedly, the production of the Joseon ghost drama was progressing faster than Misty.

Since all teams are formed and moved around Jaeik, should I say that it is definitely fast?

“How far have you been?”

“ah. I knew the set. I made a contract. Recruiting assistant performers is also becoming easier.”

“I also signed a contract with the VFX team. It is the top of the industry in Korea. The response from them is also very good.”

Mflix, Easter Egg Studio, and Challenge Everything Factory. Everyone had excited expressions on their faces.

I thought it was just a drama script written by a good writer, but when Spielberg added the modifier that it was a script written by a writer who is making a movie, the weight changed.

Besides, the most important fact. They weren’t actors themselves, but the script Jaeik gave me and read was really great.

“Casting is all over. But can you really not watch it?”

Nam Hee-chul, who participated on behalf of CEO Jeon Soo-yeon of Mflix Korea, questioned Jae-ik, who did not meet even though the lead actor was cast.

“yes. I saw enough during the casting process. Because they already have names. Wouldn’t there be a reason to meet? Script reading anyway”

It really was. Because there was no reason to meet. What would you say if we met? I just wish you well. I will only say that I saw good acting.

At that time, I thought it would be a better choice to write more scripts and take care of the production environment.

“The filming is really right around the corner. Everyone, please pay attention to the final inspection once again.”

“ah. By any chance, how is the general manager…”

Jaeik nodded at Nam Heechul’s question. Because that part still bothered me a lot.

The expected shooting period was at least 4 months. If it increases, it is about 6-7 months. If you think about the post-production, it will take more time.

The problem was that he couldn’t devote all his time to filming the drama.

There was still time left right now, but I was working on the screenplay with Spielberg, and I was also writing the second part of the world behind it.

“For now, let’s leave that part a little longer. I will tell you clearly until the script reading.”

Jaeik ended the meeting with someone in his mind.

—

“Is 3 seasons at a time the max?”

“If you look at one season as one year, that is. Three years in terms of timing.”

Na Young-jin’s expression went cold at the words of Director Park Dong-chan. How can one PD not be in charge of producing the same program for more than three years? What kind of dog rule is this?

“Because it’s right for broadcasting to keep trying new things. Same as above decision. I think it’s bound to rot if it stays in the water.”

“Isn’t seasonal entertainment our strong point?”

“That’s why I said three seasons. I didn’t tell you not to do it at all. Jung In that case, isn’t it something that can be handed over to junior PDs? Holding too much is also greed.”

Park Dong-chan’s expression when he said that looked very mean.

“If not, how about web entertainment? You sang about various entertainment production attempts on various platforms.”

Now he was very openly sarcastic. In the end, I keep creating new things and pass them on to my juniors after 3 years.

What does it mean if you come up with ideas to stabilize the program and then take a step back when the program is at its peak? Moreover, considering that he is not included in the recently announced list of promoted candidates.

It’s an unspoken pressure to get out. Na Young-jin left the general manager’s office without saying anything.

I was devastated. I really want to quit. Still, I’ve been at the company for 7 years, so I wonder if it’s right to quit like this.

My head was complicated. I wondered where the twist came from. Is it because of a big bump in my winter break? Or was it just a thorn in the eye before then?

Weiying-

When you struggle with that desolation. The cell phone vibrated and Na Young-jin moved to the meeting place with a smile on her face.

—

“What else? Don’t you like the producer you introduced me to?”

Of course, that couldn’t be the case, and it would have been something else, but Na Young-jin deliberately threw a joke to cheer up the atmosphere.

“no way. It can’t be. Preparations for the drama are going well.”

“I heard the news. Is it Spielberg? crazy sh*t it’s crazy.”

Na Young-jin kept muttering the word Spielberg.

It’s because he’s so successful as a variety show producer now, unexpectedly. Originally, his dream was to be a drama or film director. So, why didn’t you go to college as a theater and film major in the first place?

To him, isn’t the name Spielberg literally like a fairy in a fairy tale?

“a. It’s a drama you’re filming right now, and you’re happy to be with Spielberg, right?”

“That or that. In the first place, how many people in Korea can meet Spielberg face-to-face? Let alone face-to-face, there are probably not many people who have that point of contact.”

It was a word that came out of sincere envy.

“So hyung, when are you launching a new variety show? Didn’t you keep resting after my winter break?”

Na Young-jin’s expression instantly hardened at Jae-ik’s question. Should I talk about this or not?

Should I even talk about it? That doesn’t change anything either. A conflict arose.

Seeing that expression, Jae Ik also remained silent for a moment. It was something I thought about for a long time. Of course, if Na Young-jin was doing well at TVM, I wouldn’t have thought of it.

However, according to the news, there were so many rumors that the mainstream opinion was that Na Young-jin was in trouble.

Maybe it was one of the effects of the link with China.

And isn’t Na Young-jin a very, very attractive person?

To the point where I want to be in charge of this drama.

“brother. How about making a drama with me?”
