098. number of wins.

“Whoa-! Is this a real human handiwork? It’s only one episode script. Even just reading the script, the sense of immersion is so outstanding…”

“Whoa…that’s it. I’ll only know when it’s made into a movie, but if only I could make it as scripted.”

He swallowed his backbiting, but Kwon Ji-hyung understood what Kim Pil-joo was trying to say even without saying anything.

‘Great.’

I was convinced that if I could cast an actor who could only be visualized according to the script and supported only by his acting skills, this could definitely become an issue in some sense. Because the script was so good.

Even though he has been away for a long time, he has several years of experience in the broadcasting industry as a PD. It wasn’t so rusty that I couldn’t appreciate the value of such a script.

No, really, no matter who comes, the drama scene is drawn in your head, and there is no way you won’t be able to see it.

And, as Na Young-jin said, it was a script that clearly revealed the intention. All three stories are somehow intertwined with history. And, as if to show off, it is filled with elements that China might dislike.

Goguryeo and Balhae, their clothing, and the relationship between Korea and China. It was denying everything in the so-called Northeast China Project.

But is this airing on OMCTV?

“Huh… that’s awesome. finish it.”

“It is embarrassing. What the hell are you supposed to make into a drama? huh? What do you say, representative?”

Jihyung Kwon looked at the script with a smile on his face and sighed. It was a problem because all three scripts were so good.

“no. that it’s awesome A script.”

Kim Pil-joo looked at the three scripts alternately. What is the best choice for OMCTV?

“Have you seen enough?”

After agonizing over and over again, Jaeik and Kangseok entered the conference room with light smiles after 30 minutes had passed.

“yes. That’s amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing how all three of them will be made into dramas. It was a really great script.”

Kim Pil-joo answered by slightly pushing all three scripts towards Song Jae-ik.

Seeing that, Kwon Ji-hyung felt a burning sensation in his stomach. Because I thought it would be very regrettable no matter which script I chose.

“therefore. so that.”

Kim Pil-joo paused for a while and seemed as if he would answer something. What the hell was he thinking? His mouth kept twitching, and even drops of sweat were dripping from his temples.

And after ten seconds passed, Kim Pil-joo opened his mouth with a relieved smile as if he had made up his mind on something.

“Do all three with us.”

“yes? All three?”

Um Kang-seok was rather surprised at the unconventional answer to do three dramas at once, but rather than surprised, Jae-ik raised one corner of his mouth and nodded in affirmation.

Did you like CEO Kim Pil-joo’s distribution?

“It’s nice to be cool. At least you won’t regret it.”

“It is high risk high return. However, when the writer said that he was involved in the work a lot other than the script. We judged it to be low-risk, high-return.”

Before the meeting, I had already collected a lot of rumors about Song Jae-ik, gathered information, and grasped the facts in many areas.

It wasn’t really a secret, so I was able to know a lot of things, and the important thing was that I was directly involved in very important things in drama filming, such as OSTs, production, directing, and scripts.

“Can you take that to mean that I can exert influence not only in the script but also in other parts?”

“We give you the maximum amount of authority we can give you when it comes to drama production. 100 million won per episode. There is a separate running guarantee according to viewer ratings. Instead, like I just said, I want you to do your best in drama production. Whatever field it is.”

Kim Pil-joo threw a bet on OMCTV’s fate.

—

“CEO, are you really okay?”

Kwon Ji-hyung, who supported Kim Pil-joo, who was staggering as if his strength had been relieved from the tension, asked with a worried expression.

He kept his mouth shut because there was no time or situation to open his mouth, but it was clear that it was a huge gamble.

It is not simply the number of bets on success or failure, but the number of bets on the fate of the channel.

It was obvious that working on those three episodes would cost a lot of money, but what if the drama fails?

Just thinking about it, something terrible would happen.

“Chief Kwon.”

“yes. CEO.”

“It’s either a real jackpot or a side dish.”

Even though Kim Pil-joo was outdoors in mid-winter, he seemed to be breaking out in a cold sweat. He said it himself, but he was right. Awesome or bad. Even the results wouldn’t come out right away.

“Production cost is also an issue. To proceed at the same time anyway.”

“You have to do it sequentially. It’s definitely too much to do at once.”

It was three dramas, but they were to be produced and aired sequentially, not all at once. Even if you use outsourcing production, two productions at the same time were the limit.

“PPL is also a problem. Especially something like a historical play…”

Out of realistic concerns, Kim Pil-joo strained his legs and slapped Kwon Ji-hyung on the back.

“Anyway, if you run, you have to run after seeing success unconditionally. going to be busy for a while Because now we have work to do. things will work out.”

And Song Jae-ik, who was watching it from his room, smiled and pressed the send button of the mail.

“Like Youngjin hyung said, he’s a cool boss.”

Realistically, it was clear that a lot of money would go into producing a drama. And it would be unreasonable for OMCTV to produce three dramas at once.

However, OMCTV saw only himself and accepted everything. Even if it wasn’t an easy decision. If so, wouldn’t it be better to borrow the help of friends for the success of the drama?

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“what? drama?”

“That too. you have too much work right now You have to take care of your health.”

“Of course.”

At those words, Um Kang-seok rolled his eyes and let out a sigh.

“Is putting a cot next to your office taking care of your health? And I picked a secretary to do it. You absolutely need someone who can manage your schedule and take care of you by your side. And mobilize existing company personnel. It is also the ability to use the resources available.”

“Of course. I still care.”

Even if it’s not, isn’t it the know-how regarding company operation and human resource management that I’ve been putting the most effort into digesting recently? Because it’s definitely another matter for me to have excellent abilities and to run a company.

“anyway. I’m going to have to do it until I try to do it once I decided to run properly. no matter what.”

“It’ll turn out okay.”

As always, confidence and self-belief were always overflowing. Rather than simply relying on luck for everything, if skill and luck were added, there would be better results, and in Jaeik’s opinion, both skill and luck were on his side.

It wasn’t just about the talent he was digesting with the ring. I was talking about everything I’ve built so far.

Wei Ying-

“Look at that. Because it will be fine.”

And less than an hour after sending the e-mail, Jaeik’s cell phone rang and Jaeik answered the phone with a welcome voice.

(Long time no see. Natalia.)

– (Oh my God, writer! A new drama all of a sudden. Aren’t you also working on animation right now? But OMCTV?)

Natalia sounded both happy and sad at the same time. For Mflix, Jaeik’s work has always been a formula for success.

(That’s why I contacted them. They said they would. Because they haven’t done it yet.)

– (What do you mean…?)

(Of course, airing on OMCTV doesn’t change that, so by the way. What about co-production and global simulcast rights?)

Co-Production and Global Simultaneous Rights Agreement. A contract in which production costs are shared and OMCTV is in charge of broadcasting in Korea, and Mflix is in charge of other countries.

It wasn’t a bad market for Mflix either. Because we can increase content in other overseas markets other than Korea. It was the work of writer Song Jae-ik, who attracted issues when it was said that it was only aired.

– (Hmm. Not a bad condition.)

(Of course, for details, Mflix will have to sign a contract with OMCTV, but I think so. Oh, for reference, these are 3 dramas.)

(Huh? Writer? Three episodes? Three drama scripts at once?)

Natalia exclaimed in surprise. I thought it was just one drama, but it’s three dramas. This, too, was out of bounds.

Only then did Jaeik send the three English scripts he had written in advance to Natalia’s mail.

– (Yes. 3. Check it out. And it would be okay to contact OMCTV.)

(I’ll talk about it in a positive way. First of all, since it’s not a drama, I think we should have a meeting here as well.)

– (Nothing.)

(Oh, and I think the text game that I collaborated with author King will start selling soon. I’ll contact you as soon as the exact launch schedule is confirmed.)

– (Oh, finally?)

(The writer is fast. Usually, it takes this much~)

In the midst of continuing to do new things, existing things were progressing steadily.

(And the artist’s Seoul 2060 is still doing well. Thanks to that, the Mflix stock price and the corporate image of Mflix are also positive. Investing in the artist was also the best choice.)

Although the stock price fluctuated at the moment at the news of hostile relations with China, the launch of quality works, the increase in the number of subscribers due to the cruise of Jae Ik’s works, and the success of business expansion into games as well as dramas, the stock price fluctuated due to a series of good news. had already gone beyond recovery and was slowly heading upward.

(Then we will contact you as soon as possible.)

While matters related to the drama production were proceeding step by step, Jaeik arrived at Nettopia headquarters for a meeting.

The paid launch of the second work, Somehow I Became a War Hero in Another World, was soon approaching, and he said he had something to say about the US publication of the world behind the scenes.

“Writer! welcome! You worked hard to come here in the cold!”

Kim Ji-in greeted Jae-ik with a bright expression. In other words, he was only one writer, but his influence on Nettopia was too great to be just one. Not just Jae Ik’s work, but also the expansion of the OSMU business as a result of the increase in platform users, and even serials by more writers. Isn’t it a huge virtuous cycle that happened because of one person, Song Jae-ik?

Moreover, the story that most of the rival platforms went to Jaeik with a down payment of hundreds of millions of won to work with him was famous.

“It’s been a while. Hey, I’m coming by car. What?”

“The last time I made kimchi was the last time, so it’s been a while! Oh! did you hear the news? The general manager has been promoted to general manager! Now you are Chief Yu!”

Kim Ji-in showed a proud expression. After all, the best compensation for an office worker was a promotion and an increase in salary.

While going up to the conference room with Kim Ji-in, he heard a lot about the recent Nettopia situation, and Jae-ik was able to arrive at the conference room without being bored.

“Hello writer! uh I should have gone down myself, but I am really sorry for the lengthy meeting.”

“a. no. Thanks to the PD, I came up without getting bored.”

“Thank you for your understanding. There are two reasons why I asked to see you today. As you know, the first one is that the author’s second work is going to be paid soon, so we thought we should put an event or promotion in line with it, so we contacted you for that.”

The first goal was somewhat predictable. I also barely listened.

“And the second most important thing. The world publication schedule has been set.”

There was no talk for a while, but it seemed that the proofreading process was completed to fit the published book.

“First of all, the first edition is 500,000 copies. It is the highest number ever for a debut by a non-American author.”

Watpad also made a big bet on Jaeik’s work.
