069. Drama production (1)

“Four million dollars. 5 billion per episode? Really?”

Mflix’s Zombie Kingdom had a synagogue production cost of 2.2 billion won. TvM’s Mr. Sunshine was around 1.7 billion.

– yes. It is said that the order came directly from the headquarters, not from the Korean branch. Moreover, it is not the cost of investing in Korean content, but the direct investment from the head office. The CEO said he read the script with interest.

5 billion per episode. If it is 10 episodes, the total production cost is 50 billion won. Considering that the original webtoon movie, Along with the Gods, cost about 40 billion won per episode, it was a really big deal.

– In addition, the fee for each author’s synagogue is around 15 million won. Considering it’s the first script, it’s really ridiculous. It is safe to view it as a signal that Mflix wants to build a good relationship with the artist.

That’s why it’s said to be unusual.

– With this level of copyright, it’s honestly hard for us to say anything. As the head office is involved, the production conditions must be good.

In addition, it was decided that the production would be done by Studio Wyvern, a subsidiary of Nettopia. Literally, the perfect situation itself as Nettopia.

Thanks to this, the consensus that Song Jae-ik must be caught unconditionally in Nettopia has also been established among executives.

“That’s nice. Who should I contact in the future?”

– I think Mflix will contact you. First of all, we sold the copyright to Amplex. Of course, this is a procedural process and you are welcome to contact any of us if you have any issues or questions. It’s the writer’s job, and of course I have to help.

“thank you.”

The sale of drama rights is a sale, and a script contract is a script contract.

As soon as I hung up on Nettopia, Jeongyeon’s phone rang within seconds.

“Yes, Jeongyeon.”

oh my god! what’s the script? What are you doing so quickly? No, the one that came out quickly is second to none.

As soon as Jeongyeon answered the phone, wondering what was so urgent, she started talking about the script.

It’s unconditional. Even if you ask me to audition, I will. I’m sure that the script alone will be so much fun.

“It must be a demonstration role, right?”

Yes. It’s a demonstration role. It’s a role I think I can do best.

As the role was originally written with Jeongyeon in mind, she seemed to feel it.

It will take a long time before the actual shoot, but I definitely said it!

As Jeongyeon knows, it usually takes a lot of time for a drama to be produced. Investors had to be found, actors had to be finalized, and a place to play the drama had to be found, and things like that.

However, this drama was an Mflix original series, and the amount of investment per episode has already been decided, and the production company has also been decided.

That meant it wouldn’t take longer than Jeongyeon thought. That is, if you just pull out the script like crazy. And that part was definitely something I was confident about.

“Are you done calling?”

“Eh, why?”

“Because of the uproar in China this time, there are a lot of interview requests, what should I do? The comment window seems to be going crazy, too.”

Does it feel like you’re more active when you don’t respond and keep silent? It’s like being a winner.

The more this happened, the more Um Kang-seok felt like a child was burning inside. I was wondering if I should do an interview or take some action.

“What is that? Delete it appropriately and report the comment and hit it. Hehe. It will explode more soon anyway.”

Song Jae-ik raised one corner of his mouth. It’s like a person right before something explodes.

“Ugh. Damn you. What else are you up to?”

“I’m just writing the script diligently. script. And I will be doing an interview soon. The interviews we did in advance will also be published in the article.”

“interview? when?”

“It was a written interview. And when I visited Nettopia, I made it short. I need to make articles.”

Seeing him smile like that made me think Chinese netizens would stir up an uproar again.

“Amplix?”

Jeong Dae-yoon tilted his head at the sudden appearance of the word M.Flix.

“yes. This time, Mflix is entering a new work. Direct support from headquarters.”

“a. I will not. It hasn’t been long since the drama ended.”

The last drama was also quite successful, so there is no need to rush. The ransom has also gone up quite a bit. Even if I entered a new work, I was going to enter it around the end of this year.

“But big. 5 billion per side.”

“crazy? 5 billion per side? Isn’t it an overseas work? Mflix’s largest investment, doesn’t it?”

“If it is an overseas work, would you entrust it to us? It is not a company that Mflix owns. That’s right, maximum investment. So, come down directly from the headquarters.”

“No, it is not. But what if 5 billion won per drama? fantasy? No, there’s no way you can film a domestic fantasy drama without going crazy, right?”

“Yes, fantasy. hero stuff.”

“Amflix crazy? A Korean hero? Are you insane?”

“You know The Guys from Jungle Prime, right? It’s that kind of style.”

“Ugh. who is the author? Is Mflix crazy? Where is the work of an artist who receives over 100 million per episode?”

“No, a complete rookie. so ugh It’s a problem. It’s hard to entrust it to just anyone. Still, if it’s 5 billion won per episode, it’s a super-thin movie.”

Jeong Dae-yoon shook his head, disgusted. I don’t know if someone who is attracted to 5 billion and Mflix might. he wasn’t

“I will not. I will not.”

“It’s a pity just looking at the script. Sounds like a pretty good piece. You must be a rookie writer.”

“script?”

At the word script, Jeong Dae-yoon looked at the head of the production department. No matter how new you are, it could be that you are a baby writer of a writer you know. Even if it’s not that, you can ask the writers you know.

“My name is Song Jae-ik. He was famous as a YouTuber. ah! Come to think of it, doesn’t Director Jung know? You did it like the last drama! I think the YouTuber’s name was Song Jae-ik? is not it?”

“What is Song Jae-ik? The real Song Jae-ik? Give me the script.”

Jeong Dae-yoon accepted the script presented by the manager and nodded. Isn’t the title itself the same as the title of a webtoon created by Song Jae-ik?

“Crazy, you’re even writing a drama script?”

Jeong Dae-yoon stood at the spot where he received the script and looked through the script in the same posture. No, I was just trying to take a look. If only the script hadn’t drawn him in as if he were inhaling himself.

“Hey, Director Jeong! Director Jeong!”

And when about half of the script was handed over, the sound of the production manager calling him suddenly brought Jeong Dae-yoon to his senses.

“no! for a moment. this. give it at once no, once.”

“Uh, uh. But I have to give it back! There is only that. script!”

“Ah Okay!”

Jeong Dae-yoon ran to his desk holding the script with an expression of annoyance at the interruption of the flow. It was only a one-episode script, but it was a very thick script.

“Isn’t this just scripted? It feels like I just wrote the script after watching the video.”

In the fingerprint, I wrote in detail from the camera angle to the shot and how to take the picture. Literally, if you are in charge of this work, all you have to do is implement it as it is.

I could see why Mflix invested 5 billion won per episode. Anyone reading this script would have felt the same way.

this seems to be clear

“her. this is true You’re an idiot if you don’t even watch this. I look like a madman.”

When I read this script, I remembered what I said was a crazy person, but the charm of Song Jae-ik’s script was enormous. It wasn’t even a script that wasn’t realistic.

It was literally a script that was thoroughly written for the visual medium of drama.

‘I’ve only been a director for ten years. If you can’t smell this kind of work, you should leave the industry. furthermore. This is definitely similar to a web novel and a webtoon, but they are different. clearly.’

The biggest difference Jeong Dae-yoon felt was that he hadn’t exactly read Jae-ik Song’s webtoon, but the drama script didn’t exactly follow the webtoon.

Anyway, that’s it, and this is a rice cake that shouldn’t be given to others. Very tasty and big mochi.

“I do this!”

“What are you talking about? If you ask me for that work, I’ll say you’re crazy!”

“Yes, I am crazy! So, I will definitely do this!”

Jeong Dae-yoon ran to the production manager’s room and shouted while waving the script.

“Isn’t there anything scheduled for the next work by directors Son and Bae? Your drama is going to end soon.”

“What? no! I was going to send it there because both artists’ works are scheduled to be launched soon!”

“Hey. It’s Mflix. It’s Mflix. unconditionally this The production environment and money are much faster! Besides, I see foreign kids coming out! I have to go to an overseas location too!”

He was the oldest cinematographer and lighting director at Studio Wyvern. These skills are at a level where people in this industry can close their eyes and say ok just by hearing their name.

“Please contact the Scanline VFX team as well.”

“No, crazy! Director Jung Wait a minute! That’s a money-eating hippo!”

“5 billion per episode! Then you have to invest that much, and it’s an Mflix subsidiary there! There must be something like DC! Oh, I don’t know! Contact us at once! This is unconditional!”

“So where are you going?”

“To meet the writer, no, Mr. Jaeik! anyway! Get a team, I’ll send you the list later!”

“Hey, Director Jeong! Director Jeong!”

Leaving behind the production manager’s anxious call, Jeong Dae-yoon found Song Jae-ik’s contact number in his cell phone and pressed the call button.

Because I wanted to meet and talk about the work. What on earth did you think when you wrote this piece, and how far did the script come out?

That’s everything.

[Lap time 2 minutes 49 seconds! 2 minutes and 49 seconds! The previous player Park Ji-hong’s 2 minutes and 50 seconds was broken once again!]

[Song Jae-ik! As if to avenge the 2nd place in the 1st match, we are once again knocking Park Ji-hong away!]

The second round of the Mini Super Challenge Korea held at Yeongam KIC. Song Jae-ik, who started from the second place as per the previous ranking, pushed Park Ji-hong roughly as if he could not miss the first place this time.

[Soon we will arrive at the 2nd sector where the demonic corner continues. Will Park Ji-Hong be able to beat Song Jae-Ik and claim the No. 1 spot? Or, I’m looking forward to seeing whether Song Jae-ik will keep his first place.]

[It’s a showdown between really high-level drivers.]

The car rattled as soon as I stepped on the curb, but the time to exit the corner was clearly shortened.

[This is an amazing driving skill. Who would consider this player an amateur player!]

Catch-up-

With the sound of grinding tires, the white here was flying, and it was struggling to find its place as it tilted sharply.

A situation where the car behind is engaged with a corner and blinks its high beams quickly, looking at the liver as if it is about to overtake.

Jaeik stepped on the accelerator as soon as he exited corner 3. The gentle corners continue until corner 4, so if you can widen the gap a little bit in every corner. I had to increase the distance by 0.1 seconds, by 0.1 seconds.

That’s because the accumulated gap will eventually create a gap of 1 second or 2 seconds.

Especially if it’s a rap right before the end.

Boaaaang-

The rapidly accelerating Mini resonated with a sudden engine sound, and Jaeik stepped on the brake ahead of the corner to enter the corner and stepped on the accelerator again to get out.

[It is a phenomenal grip driving at any time!]

[Song Jae-ik exits the corner smoothly and widens the gap with the 2nd place!]

[Park Ji-hong! The gap is getting wider! Don’t fret! The more you do, the more you have to drive calmly and safely and close the gap. There are still 3 corners left! The gap is 1 second! I can catch up enough!]

A thrill ran through my whole body. It felt like the stress I had from writing the script for the drama was relieved at once.

The instrument panel, which tells the speed, could no longer go up and swayed up and down.

And ahead of the 10th corner, which turns almost 90 degrees, Jaeik stepped on the brakes with the corner just before it, slowed down, and stepped on the accelerator again in a situation where the car was almost about to bounce.

[Check! The check flag is flapping! Jaeik Song! Song Jae-ik, who took 2nd place in the 1st round racing! In the second round, cross the finish line first with first place!]

[This is crazy! What the hell is this player’s identity?]

After passing the flag flapping toward him, Song Jae-ik opened the window and clenched his fist.

The joy of finally winning first place. And the feeling of all the stress in my head disappearing in an instant.

And the crazy cheers of the resounding fans.

I can’t think of any words to describe it other than that it’s really thrilling.

[Song Jae-Ik Webtoon ‘So I decided to become a villain.’ Mflix’s original drama adaptation decision.]

[Song Jae-ik ‘It will not proceed with the same story as the webtoon. It will be a drama as a transmedia, not an OSMU.’]

[Chinese netizens protest. Chinese netizens say that if you want to make money from Chinese fans, you should consider Chinese sentiment.]

And while Song Jae-ik was taking a champagne shower on the top of the podium, Song Jae-ik’s drama started to spread one by one riding on the articles.

and who intended it. Or, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the very first part of the script was leaked.

[So I decided to become a villain. Script leaked. Among the early scripts, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Arunachal Pradesh. Show all border disputed countries.]

– No crazy, this brother blows wide-area provocation against China.

– Are you really old? Besides, isn’t Mflix not servicing China anyway?

– I don’t.

– But what kind of Chinese fans do you have to consider Chinese sentiment to make money?

– When will this open?

– You should join Mflix. to see this

Looking at the comments, Song Jae-ik raised one corner of his mouth.

All the seizure buttons were intentionally put in and only the first part of the script was leaked.

‘What is the leak? this is my response Try cursing as much as you want until the drama comes out.’
