183. Rival or Companion (2)

[Contract extension with Song Jae-Ik Detective.]

[Detective ‘Companion with Song Jae-ik, not a rival’]

[Challenge Everything, a strategic partnership with Detective. What is the future of the content industry?]

[The detective followed up to the bottom of Bubble’s chin.]

– Yes! good! Detective is a dog profit!

– But did Song Jae-ik really need to do it?

– Because I did it anyway. Unless the author is an idiot, didn’t he do it for a reason? Honestly, I’m not in a position to regret anything.

– You can see it.

– It would be nice if you released something like a collaboration between the two.

– Does that make sense? A collaboration between Detective and Challenge Everything? Haha Commander L and McClane? do you think it suits you? uh That’s not it.

The day after signing the contract that Sean O’Connell handed over.

The whole newspaper made headlines about the contract between Jaeik and Detective. Because it was completely unexpected.

Most of them believed that the relationship between Jaeik and Detective would be broken, so it was all the more so. It was because the opinion that there was no reason to be with Detective was the mainstream opinion.

That’s why the reaction was extreme. A fan of Challenge Everything asked if there was any reason to sign a contract, and a fan of Detective said it was good that he had re-signed anyway.

And around that time, publicity related to Jaeik’s convention began in earnest.

[Song Jae-ik’s 1st Challenge Everything Convention scheduled to be held.]

[March at the Los Angeles Convention Center. What about the announcement of the Challenge Everything that will decorate the ticket and convention?]

[Amplix, Techpole, Watpad. attend the convention.]

[Challenge Everything insider] It will be the first convention worth looking forward to. It will be an event for the fans.’]

Fans cheered once again.

Now, only the date and place have been announced, and nothing has been said about the scale, how and how many people will be admitted, but the most important thing is that Challenge Everything is holding a convention.

“Eh? what?”

“A collaboration between Challenge Everything and Detective Comics.”

Kang Seok burst into laughter at Jae Ik’s words.

“Is it possible? They are works with a completely different feeling in a completely different worldview. No, aside from that, Detective allowed it, right?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do. It’s a matter of how you do it. It’s also what Chairman Sean O’Connell suggested when handing over the contract himself.”

“But to be honest, it’s strange that we signed a contract. Why did you renew your contract? money? It’s not like you’re short on money.”

“There is a fan heart, there is money, and there is also a reason to increase the volume of our IP.”

And to create a healthy rivalry. It was my personal opinion that Bable’s solo was not good. When he caught the bubble with Detective at the forefront and became a competitive system, he planned to join the war himself.

Even if the number of IPs or the size of the company is insufficient.

“Aren’t we growing up well enough?”

“Of course. If it goes like this, honestly. It’s okay if you don’t worry.”

“Well, it was a difficult decision anyway. But to announce it at a convention? Will you?”

“Do you think it won’t work?”

As Kang-seok said, it was not an easy task. First of all, the color that Detective has accumulated so far did not match his own color.

Then the approach is to create a new character. I wondered if that really meant anything. Even if you create a new character in the name of Detective, it will be accepted as the result of ‘Song Jae-Ik’, not fully felt as a Detective character because it has your own color.

‘That doesn’t make any sense. Then, in the end, it’s best to use existing characters. That would be the only way for Detective and me to win.’

Jaeik accessed the Detective’s archives and looked at the character’s name. The number of heroes and villains accumulated over the past 90 years was not one or two.

There were about 50 characters who became popular and became the main characters right away. Even if you combined all the heroes and villains, there were 100 characters that were deleted or people couldn’t even remember.

Because of not being popular, being turned away by fans or for various reasons.

I don’t know if you’re a true fanatic.

Jaeik’s mouse wheel went down constantly. It wasn’t just looking at the character’s name. As soon as I saw the character’s name, I was imagining the character’s ability and background in my head.

“Not him, not him…”

It was new, but there were also a bunch of characters that were created without any countermeasures. Maybe it was the influence of irrational numbers to get ahead in the content war with Babel.

“Hmm? Hmmm… well…”

And at one point, Jaeik let go of the mouse wheel and was lost in thought.

It was a name that remained vaguely in my memory. A character who passes by without even knowing he was there. Maybe if you are like this, who wouldn’t be like that.

Read at noblemtl. com

Looking at the character history, it was a character that was first created and almost abandoned after appearing in a few episodes.

“It’s perfect.”

It was perfect.

—

Villain ‘Mobius.’

He was a villain in the early days as a commonly-speaking cosmic villain, but after his two appearances, he was a character of misfortune that was ignored and buried by fans.

The so-called planet destroyer, the one who destroys the universe, either destroys himself or sends a substitute.

A being whose existence itself is in destruction. An existence that becomes infinitely stronger by absorbing energy from the destroyed planet.

and similar. The static of the characters of the Detective Universe buried equally in the bottom.

“I have to do more Challenge Everything Universe here. The other side of the world and Ricky’s story don’t fit.”

It was necessary to force it to fit, but there was no need to give up my main worldview to the Detective.

First of all, there is a slight weight difference. Of course, Jill overwhelmingly thought that she was ahead of her.

“then.”

Jaeik remembered his third web novel. A story that has only been conceived and before serialized. The third web novel was a spin-off of So I Decided to Become a Villain.

And since the main villain of the novel was a cosmic being, I thought it would be the most appropriate.

Of course, if this happens, the order of creation will have to be changed. While postponing the web novel.

“Come to think of it, did I say that the greatest thing about Babble is that it achieved this level of success with a B-grade or lower character?”

Jaeik smiled and wrote a few more character names next to Mobius’s name.

“There is nothing I can do.”

Even for fans of Detective, all of them are characters that don’t have enough recognition to say who this is.

Jaeik was thinking of putting a new breathing machine on this character and collaborating with his own work.

A combination of an F-class character buried at the bottom and a new universe character. Isn’t it thrilling just thinking about it?

Comics issues, which are usually released like short magazines, averaged between 20 and 30 pages.

And 2 months left.

It didn’t seem too bad. If you think about printing.

No, do you want to slow down? You can do it once.

(What about practice?)

(That’s enough. Everyone showed confidence. I practiced with various elements in a similar environment, and I think it will be successful enough.)

Time passed and the convention was right around the corner.

The event stage had already reached its final stage of practice, and the interior work had already been completed and each company was setting up the interior.

(Collaboration with other companies is also proceeding neatly. It will probably be all over two days before the convention period.)

(It’s fortunate. Let’s not let go of tension until the end of the convention. It’s our first convention.)

(CEO. But how do you plan to position yourself?)

biggest problem. How will you take the criteria for admission to the convention?

I’d like to do it for free, but if that happens, the inside of the convention hall will be completely full of people. It wouldn’t be properly controlled, and accidents were likely to happen.

So, this part was thought of in advance and reflected in the convention planning and interior.

(We sell tickets for a fee. Please pay attention to the composition of goods accordingly with 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day tickets. So that you can feel that you are getting more than you paid for admission. However, outside the convention, it is free It’s only for those who enter the hall. It’s not the outside. Also, give out invitations through fan cafes or You Tube. Distribute the number of people appropriately.)

(Oh, so. Store arrangement from outside…?)

(Yes. Even if you couldn’t buy a paid ticket, aren’t you a fan who likes our works? Please pay attention to the events held outside, and check the live broadcasting of internal content and the external transmission once again. There may be more people than expected. )

The meeting proceeded quickly. It was just a final check before the convention.

(And the time for the CEO’s presentation was left blank. Are you ready?)

At the employee’s question, Jaeik smiled and nodded. Somehow, the distance of the presentation was gradually increasing, but the preparations were going well anyway.

‘Well, the book release is already prepared. The important thing is the collaboration with Detective.’

I was almost at the final stage. It’s not easy to create an entire issue by myself in a month, but I’m not special.

Although it was difficult, it was impossible.

“Wan… It’s done! It’s finally over!”

The silicon figure team, including Ahn Sang-hoon, sat down on their chairs on the floor as if they were about to collapse.

“really. It was really hard. I don’t think I’ve ever been this hard.”

“It’s because I changed my soul.”

“It’s not like that, it’s because there are more figures to make.”

“really. I think I can be proud that it is the best masterpiece of my figure life.”

It was because the samples had only been completed two days before the Korean branch of Challenge Everything was on a business trip to the US.

It wasn’t a sample that I barely completed because I was pressed for time. It was a piece of art with a real soul.

There are 4 types in total. It was an amount that was one more than the three types originally thought.

Ricky and MacLaine and Dexter Linder. And even the protagonist of Decided to Become a Villain.

In addition, not only the figures, but also the perfect composition of the background like a diorama.

I finished the homework given by Jaeik perfectly and beyond my expectations.

“You should get some rest. You said you would give me a week off when this work is done.”

“I just want to get some sleep. I just lack sleep.”

“Okay then, CEO, fighting. Have a good trip to America. We are going.”

Ahn Sang-hoon swayed like a zombie and grabbed his teammates as they were about to leave.

“What are you talking about?”

“All of the CEOs have been in America for a long time.”

“yes? us too? why?”

“A separate week vacation. The entire figure team came to the United States for a vacation and convention, and to check the figure response and reservation status. The rest of the time is free travel. The representative provided all accommodations on the plane.”

“uuu-!”

“Could that be because the last time I was working, I was asked to submit my passport, photo, and documents?”

“Of course.”

“I reflect on myself in the past when I complained about submitting things because I didn’t have time.”

The staff gave a pleasant cheer. It was a sudden decision to go to the United States, but since it was a separate vacation schedule in the United States, there was no way I wasn’t in a good mood.

“Figure! I want to buy a figure!”

“It’s Hollywood! caliber! delicious! USA! Go first!”

“Wrap the figure carefully!!”

“yes!”

On the day of the Challenge Everything convention.

(How many of these are all…)

Challenge Everything staff clucked their tongues as they watched the swarming crowds near the Los Angeles convention.

Of course, not all of these people have tickets, most of them must have just come to enjoy themselves.

Even if the number of people visible right now, thousands of people seemed to pass lightly.

(Awesome. It’s literally an invitation.)

The 1st Challenge Everything Convention was showing signs of success right from the start.
