161. What Happened in Korea (3)

Should I say it was a huge success? It was literally a musical performance that brought out such tremendous results that I can’t think of any words other than the word great success.

The cheers and applause poured out by more than 10,000 people at once was really thrilling.

It was also a natural order for the articles to pour out.

[High praise and high praise. The World Behind the Successful Musical. There is no disagreement about the degree of completion.]

[The best musical that ended with just one episode. Does Song Jae-ik have any plans to stand on the musical stage again?]

More than 10,000 spectators said this musical was crazy with one bite, so people’s attention was focused on Song Jae-ik.

Even in that crazy musical, Song Jae-ik’s acting was really ridiculous. I don’t know if there are dozens or hundreds of people like that. If the majority of people who have seen this musical say the same thing, it must be true.

“The support of the fans is no joke, do you have any plans to stand on the musical stage again?”

“no. There are no plans to stand on the musical stage after today. It was my work and I stood here after being persuaded by Mr. Harold that I should stand at least once as much as I made it.”

People’s interest was once again whether Jaeik had plans to stand on the musical stage, but Jaeik cut the question off with a single knife.

It’s a later date, so you don’t know how it will change, so I’m not saying you won’t stand at all, but that wasn’t the case now.

Although the establishment of the US branch and the conversion of the company to a stock company were going well, there were not one or two things that he had to do in the decision-making process.

“All of Amflix and Watpad have completed equity contracts. We also distributed stock to all employees. But are you really okay? I like the staff.”

“It is natural to give stocks as much as you work hard and have affection. great. Then the company transition is over.”

“Aren’t you going to go public?”

“uh. I don’t intend to. It should remain unlisted. There is no reason to do it.”

Recruitment in Korea was also going well as if riding a tailwind. Isn’t that the Challenge Everything Factory? Salary and benefits are top-notch. A dream company among content companies.

“But I think we should look into our office further. I think the office will be too cramped when I think about the staffing right now.”

Jaeik nodded at Kangseok’s report. Because it was as Kang Seok said. Didn’t more than 10 people already complete the recruitment? More than 10 additional hires were planned.

“In addition, you will have to think about redeployment of personnel and division of duties. The number of people suddenly increased too much.”

Kang Seok scratched his head in amazement. Actually, right now, the most ambiguous position in the Challenge Everything Factory is yourself.

It’s all about the work you do and the professionalism of your work. Until now, I was in the Nutube team, but since Na Young-jin came out to the front, I had to go under Na Young-jin.

But the problem is that there are more things to do while following Jae-ik than department work, so should I say that it is not fair?

“Let’s go somewhere together.”

After checking the text message on his cell phone, Jaeik grabbed the car key and gestured to Kangseok.

“Where are you all of a sudden after a meeting?”

“Ride once. Wouldn’t it be nice to go I drive.”

Even in the passenger seat, Kang Seok focused his eyes on his phone. It wasn’t just one or two calls from Jaeik’s personal schedule. It was all his own business.

“The Ricky story is really crazy. It is now the 3rd day since the release, and during the same period, the global sales volume has already exceeded.”

“already?”

“Oh, that’s close to the ship. Even Watpad said it was crazy. I have no idea how long I will have to keep filming. All the bookstores are in a hurry to increase the supply because it is lacking. Even the almost simultaneous release around the world worked well.”

“What are the terms of the contract? Like a book donation.”

“That too is progressing sequentially. The first donation to the children’s hospital was finished, and they said they would probably donate the second within the next month. Not to mention the reaction. It’s just awesome.”

Ricky’s story was showing an unusually large amount of sales. Not only was the sales volume high, but the amount of mentions on the Internet and people’s reactions were unusual.

The social reaction was the same. The difference from the other side of the world was that it was also a book that children could see, and thanks to that, the trend was happening across all ages.

“And I thought the activating the fanfic culture through donations wasn’t a joke either? After the donation was verified, it seems that a lot of fanfiction works have already appeared here and there. Rather, it seems that fans on the Internet are catching kids who write fanfics without donation verification. Is it because it’s a waste of at least one dollar?”

“I’m glad.”

In fact, it wasn’t a big emotional change after seeing the sales that I’ve experienced for the first time in the back world. Is it just a level of doing well?

It wasn’t that I didn’t feel the burden of what to do if I couldn’t write a sequel just because the sales volume was so high.

Of course, I had no idea that I wouldn’t be able to use it.

“But where are we going?”

Kang Seok, wondering where the hell he was going after the car stopped, looked at the building and Jaeik once with a puzzled expression when Jaeik stopped in front of a building in downtown Seoul.

“You, can’t you…? In addition?”

“Are you fine?”

A building with more than 20 floors in the center of Seoul.

“Hey, you have this. really?”

“Yeah, really. We’re not the only ones going in. I heard that Mflix is also moving here. After all, if we convert to a corporation, Mflix will also have a stake in it. Take some bank loans.”

“Oh my gosh. what is this?”

To be honest, even a small building outside Seoul has already succeeded. It felt like we were becoming landlords in Seoul. what is this

“From the top floor to the middle floor, we will use it. The Korean branch of Mflix will use two floors. I have to rent the rest. Even existing buildings.”

I was planning to hire as many people as I was growing the company, and it was only natural that I needed a large office.

“When the hell did you find out about this? There would have been no time.”

“I must have been looking for it. I was looking for it at Mflix. When they brought up the building, they looked around and talked about what they liked first. Anyway, I’m already busy with other things, so can I make you do this?”

Kang Seok looked up at the building with a blank expression.

“I’ll probably go into the interior from next month. Increase the management support team a bit. Make sure you position yourself as well. I will leave the video team to the director.”

With the recruitment of Na Young-jin, there was a sense that Kang-seok’s position had become ambiguous. Before that, my position was like a kind of Neptune team leader and secretary.

“Expand the management support team, set up a secretary team, and you take the head there. Even if it’s a secretarial team, it won’t be anything special. Literally, it’s about gathering information, managing schedules, and managing news, just like now. But since the two of us started, shouldn’t we go all the way?”

Kang Seok, who had been listening to Jaeik’s explanation for a while, murmured, rubbing his eyes.

“It’s so f*cking awesome.”

An important schedule in Korea is almost over. The musical was actively performing nationwide, and most of the parts to be corrected were also touched upon. After the test performance, the musical team would return to the United States and prepare for a full-scale Broadway performance.

Jeongyeon had been living with the song since the moment she delivered it, and ended the talk by saying that she would come to America as soon as her schedule was over.

The company’s recruitment plan for transition personnel and organizational restructuring were all over, and the Korean side relieved the burden by appointing Na Young-jin as the temporary representative. In any case, the US market had no choice but to put more weight on it.

Regarding the supply and demand of new IPs, only Jaeik’s IPs were already three. The novels that were serialized on Nettopia, the world behind the scenes, and even the story of Ricky.

Even if I worked only on those works, there would be no end to my work. In addition, there was even a verbal agreement to sign an additional contract with Mflix when I go back to America.

It meant that there would be no work at least for a while, so there would be no manpower to play. There was a shortage of manpower.

“What is this? It feels like someone living in the US is on a business trip to Korea.”

“I know. Why is there more days in America than days in Korea?”

“Hehe. It’s completely global. It is global.”

The day I go back to America. Less than a month had passed since I came to Korea, but it was time to go back to the States.

One scheduled US schedule right now. And finally, the release of Detective Comics’ Task Force V is approaching.

“Go carefully.”

“Please take good care of the company while I am gone.”

“do not worry. Well, it might be hectic while filming a drama for a while, but just check the emails I send once a day and set the direction. You have to tidy up.”

“Of course it is.”

Na Young-jin and several team leaders were the only people who came to meet me at the airport.

Unlike when entering the country, the departure gate was empty. I didn’t bother to spread promotional materials, and the feeling of leaving without hassle was strong.

“And promotional materials are scattered when you get on the plane.”

“Yeah, what about that?”

“Anyway, it is necessary to continue to connect with the media. Even if the main is your you tube. The media is already accustomed to not doing interviews with you, so even this would be enough for them to be aware of it, right?”

Na Young-jin giggled while thinking of her TVM days. No matter how much fake news is spread and malicious articles are written, it was good to see cows and chickens and cows. If you’re serious, you might as well take a video on You Tube.

The funny thing was that it worked better.

“anyway. See you soon. I have to go to the premiere.”

“Absolutely. See you soon in America.”

It was time to leave the short Korean schedule behind and head to the US again.

Detective Comics vs. The Boardroom.

(Um… uh…)

The inside preview was finished, but no one was able to open their mouth easily.

Just waiting for someone to comment first.

Was it because the period of failure was so long? Is the feeling they felt right? whether or not Actually, it was because I was confused.

They obviously thought it was fun, but were there one or two movies that received the worst response from the market?

(Only me, am I awesome? Interesting?)

(Right? I wasn’t the only one having fun. This is awesome, right?)

(Huh. This is really no joke. I can’t wait for the next movie by itself.)

As soon as one person opened the door, executives were busy praising the contents of the movie with smiles on their faces.

There was nothing to regret. It was to the point that they felt it was fun, and the expressions of the other general employees who participated in the preview were really cool.

It is interesting. It was a really, really funny movie.

Even though it is different from the existing Detective, the atmosphere was properly called in the cookie video that appears after the end credits of the movie. The rice cakes for Detective’s subsequent films were also substantial.

(What a new beginning. A new beginning for Detective Comics movies.)

It was a movie that was enough to announce the beginning of a new detetive as someone carefully brought it out.

And it was clear that the results would be properly revealed at the upcoming premiere.
