145. Behind the scenes: two doors (2)

“Big. I am proud of winning the event.”

Kim Seong-jin burst into a pleasant smile when he arrived at the address written on the invitation.

This event was because Jaeik won an event held at Cafe Archivist, even though it was not an event held by himself.

It was very difficult to win the event hosted by Song Jae-ik himself. Simply put, the last dance video password event was fierce enough to select 5 people from all over the world, and hundreds of thousands of people applied in Korea alone.

Isn’t that a pointless competition? To think that we have to compete not with Korea but with the world.

The archivist’s events included a screening meeting where Jaeik’s works were appreciated and discussed together, and a hardcover book signed with Jaeik’s support from Mflix, the world’s first copy, but that was enough.

Having someone to share hobbies with and talk to is important in itself.

This event also did not indicate how many people won, but there was no doubt that many people applied and were selected.

“uh···? Is this right?”

However, I thought it would be something like a conference room in the building we arrived at, but the scale was larger than expected and Kim Seong-jin blinked his eyes.

Even the placard, judging from the fact that it is attached, this place is definitely the right place. Isn’t that too serious?

Even though I arrived thirty minutes before the start, the number of people gathered here seemed to be one hundred.

I thought it was an event with about twenty or thirty people at most. Besides, the place is not a small conference room.

‘what?’

It was strange when you think about it. There is no explanation in the event notice, it is an event related to the works of artist Jae-Ik Song, and it will be an official event partially supported by Mflix.

There was no explanation at all about what kind of event it was and how many people were selected.

“What is your name?”

“This is Kim Seong-jin. The ID is Blip Blip.”

When I went to the information desk and said my name, the employees wearing the recently launched Behind-the-World promotional shirts put a bracelet on my arm along with a name tag.

“You must never lose the bracelet you filled up now. When the information starts in time for the event, you can go inside.”

Seongjin Kim scratched his head and entered the venue. From a space that sells goods from around the world to a cafe that distributes free coffee.

Unable to hide my bewildered feeling, I looked around and followed the guide to the event venue.

‘There are more than I thought?’

The number of people seemed to be three hundred. Even now, it’s still coming in.

“Do you know what I am doing today?”

I asked the participant sitting in the seat next to me.

“Iknow, right. I’m fine too. I never thought there would be this many.”

“It is said that the second world book and a movie will be released soon, so isn’t that an event? Anyway, events like this are often held prior to the release of a movie. Books are like that, especially since we are archivists. It’s also a more direct fan base.”

“Then it would be a screening of an Mflix drama or something like that. But is it really worth holding an event like this? If you’re an archivist, there’s probably no one who hasn’t seen it.”

“Anyway, it’s publicity after all. Even if you’ve seen it twice or three times, it’s not bad to see it all together. What.”

Seongjin Kim nodded at the words he heard from the chair on the other side. Because it seemed right.

People who seemed to be staff were busily wandering around the site, setting up a large beam project, counting the number of people, and behind the curtains, the box seemed to be moving busily.

And after a few minutes, the staff moved around busily, and the person holding the microphone seated the participants.

“Let’s start the event right away! Please have a seat!”

Then the lights went out and people focused their attention on the beam screen that was about to turn on.

‘What are you doing right away without talking about it in advance like this…’

I’ve got a bit of an uneasy mind. Because I had a strong feeling that the event was wrapped up in mysticism.

As soon as the beam project, which flickered a little bit, started spitting out proper images, the movie poster of the other world revealed itself.

Like the person next to me said earlier, I thought the purpose was to promote the movie.

And soon, the countdown on the screen started and the buzz in the audience seats subsided.

Even if I didn’t know what it was, it was clear that something was about to start.

“uh?”

The countdown stopped and the screen changed to reflect the location of this event. And soon, it was reduced to a smaller size, and numerous similar places appeared on the screen.

“Wow. Is it a simultaneous event?”

Many places appeared densely on the screen in real time as if they were taking place in many places.

and. By the time countless event locations filled the screen.

The screen changed and two unoccupied chairs appeared on the screen.

‘no way?’

Two chairs, a movie promotion, and the world behind it. I felt a sense of excitement here and there to see if other people were thinking the same thing.

– Hello everybody. This is Song Jae-ik.

And again.

“Wow-!”

– Nice to meet you! Korea!

Song Jae-ik appeared on the screen and waved briefly, and Steven Spielberg also appeared on the screen and waved.

“It must be a recorded video, right?”

“Is that right? But when you see them talking about Korea, it looks like they recorded only Korea separately.”

– Because there are people who love me like this, I think I can put all my energy into creating content.

“I’m still Korean.”

Pride came rushing in.

– Everyone knows that the first behind-the-scenes movie will be released in Korea soon, right?

– Also, the second copy of this friend’s book!

It was at the point where there were less than 7 days left before the release of the movie.

– I hope you have a pleasant day with my works today.

After Jaeik’s final greeting, a large M mark appeared on the screen when M’Flix content started. It looks like the drama is about to begin.

However.

– Oh, I forgot to tell you which video it is.

Jaeik’s face appeared on the screen again. That too, with a very funny expression on his face.

– It is an honor to be able to introduce you to you for the first time. Thank you for always supporting me. I’ll start with The Two Doors, Part 1 of The World Movie Behind The Scenes.

very briefly It took a fraction of a second for people to understand what Jaeik was talking about on the screen.

– ah. For your reference, the story behind the world that was announced as a gift for winning the event is part 2, not part 1.

“aaah-! it’s crazy!”

“For the first time in the world!”

“it’s crazy! You’re crazy! Even a novel?”

The event hall was enveloped in a huge shout and turned upside down.

one day. It was a one-day event held at the end of 2021 and the first month of 2022.

From Korea to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, from Asian countries to Russia, Europe, the United States, and South America.

A one-night-only event designed to prevent leaks and spread rumors.

In order to maintain confidentiality, the staff did not know the exact contents, and only one or two people directly dispatched from Mflix knew the direct contents of the event.

It cost a lot of money and required a lot of planning power and manpower to plan this event, but speaking of the results, it was a great success.

It was a level that could not be measured even if it was just the publicity effect estimated by Mflix.

In addition, news around the world is pouring out news of Jae-Ik’s events every day, and the Internet did not know that Jae-Ik’s stories would cool down.

Besides, now that the event was over, Kang Seok spent the whole night editing the YouTube video, and was going to upload the video again after the embers died down.

In addition, the content of the movie and the content of the book will start to be spoiled.

“Huh. kill me.”

“Get some rest.”

Kang-seok, who looked like a zombie, raised his thumb and lay down on the sofa.

It was not an easy task to stitch together and edit videos from numerous countries.

“The internet response has been amazing. In particular, the kids who have seen the movie are going crazy, so on the day it opens, they will definitely go to watch N times.”

“That’s natural. How well they were chosen.”

“But isn’t that a loss for Mflix? Anyway, Mflix needs something to increase its own OTT subscribers, but if you earn too much income from movie theaters, that will decrease.”

Jaeik shook his head at Kangseok’s worried question.

“Hold on to that worry. Because director Spielberg sharpened his knife properly.”

Right away, the goosebumps I felt when I watched Spielberg’s newly edited director’s cut yesterday seemed to come back.

Because the newly edited Director’s Cut was telling us why Steven Spielberg is Spielberg.

After the 45-day holdback period, it was clear that it would be worth watching if both the Behind the World theater version and the director’s cut were put on Amplicix at the same time.

beginning of February. American premiere screening day. Jaeik wore a stylish suit and headed to the prepared red carpet.

Premiere screenings to invite journalists and critics. After this screening, invited reporters and critics will scramble to pour out their impressions of the film.

According to this content, the atmosphere of the beginning of the movie was to be determined.

cloud. And countless reporters and reporters scrambled to cover those people, standing in front of the camera and pointing the camera at them.

In addition, the reaction was quite enthusiastic, probably right after the first private preview to fans around the world.

Because the fans’ reactions were all positive.

And Jaeik also stopped walking and had a pleasant smile while conducting interviews with various media outlets.

(Unusually, the premiere for fans was held first. Is there a reason?)

(Of course, the basis of my activities are fans. If there were no fans, I would have been nothing more than a person who made and enjoyed my work alone. Wouldn’t it be possible for me to create works like this because so many fans around the world love my work? I’m thinking of finding more things I can do for my fans.)

(People say this movie is the beginning of the Song Jae-ik universe. What do you think?)

At that question, Jaeik smiled and pointed his hand at the camera.

(My universe started from the moment I created Youtube. And until now. And it will continue.)

OSMU or Trans Media. Because Jaeik’s worldview was constantly expanding.

before the shock they felt was gone. To vividly convey this feeling.

And in the evening, a little late, close to dawn. One critic posted a short article.

[Song Jae-ik proved himself perfectly in all areas such as writer, director, and directing. Then, what about the Detective Comics he will create?]

People’s eyes turned to the movie of Detective Universe, which he is in charge of production, and is scheduled to be released in the middle of this year.

[What if Song Jae-ik could pull Detective Comics out of the bottomless abyss?]

It was a short article that ended with a question, but people who read the article thought.

Will it be possible to revive the Detective Universe, which even had its respiratory system removed?

If saved, the thought that Song Jae-ik would have an unprecedented position in the industry.
