Chapter 122

Merritt Broadcasting Company building.

The video containing the contents of the Zenix Academy exceeded expectations.

At first, the purpose was to go to the academy that trains hunters and show the daily routine of the trainees.

How about adding some romance?

… Thinking of this, the former PD somehow uploaded the edited video in a patchwork format.

just as expected?

On YesTube, it achieved the feat of recording more than 200,000 views within 10 hours of being uploaded.

“As expected, I have to mix some of these additives to make it taste better!”

The former producer was sitting alone in the editing room, immersed in narcissism.

I was carrying a burden because the videos I planned recently were dying one after another.

I felt like I had made up for it with this Xenix Academy episode.

That would be too.

It was because I was flooding in with contacts from all around me.

-Five! Former producer, did you do something this time? Did you like the reaction?

“Oh, it’s still early days. I will have to watch more.”

-What are you talking about? It’s already ranked #1 in real-time video. know?! Didn’t our broadcaster ever win the #1 real-time video this year? I did one thing this time! The manager seems to like it a lot right now too? Should I buy some rice?

“Ah, rice is not enough! Go cow!”

-uh?! did you say it first? Don’t you have anything else to say later?

classmates, superiors, juniors, etc.

It wasn’t a very long phone call, but everyone was congratulating the ex-PD as if it were their own work.

“Paddle when the water comes in, I’ll have to include a sequel soon! Shall we look at the schedule?”

The reaction was hotter than expected, so it seemed like I had to visit Jenix Academy once again.

like the words of the motive.

In the content market that has become overloaded these days, YesTube’s real-time video No. 1 was never an easy task.

The former producer hoped that this sense of accomplishment he had felt so long ago would last for a long time.

“Anyway, if we are reborn as high-level hunters later on, wouldn’t it be good for each other? who knows It’s better because of me!”

Also, he believed that thanks to him, the trainees were able to gain public attention.

It was a result of a completely different aspect from the initial intention, but he didn’t care as long as the reaction was good.

Eventually, I decided to review the edited videos again.

“Then, shall we re-edit unreleased videos?”

Unfortunately, it was necessary to review the edited videos again and bring out the good parts again.

***

Xenix Academy Dormitory.

Minjun was holding a small business card.

“I never thought I’d be in touch at a time like this.”

Three letters of the name embedded in the business card.

This card was none other than the Ark Guild Master, Gu Hwang-seok’s business card.

The business card I received from meeting him the other day.

There was no way that Min-jun was unaware of Gu Hwang-seok’s willingness to hand over his business card first.

“Rather, Gu Hwang-seok might be more welcoming.”

The Ark Guild has a bad relationship with Merit Broadcasting.

That would be too.

Once, there was a case where a former PD personally visited the Ark Guild office building and covered it.

At that time, the former PD put a frame on the arc guild as a vicious guild and brought it to the topic.

Because it was the Ark Guild with a reputation next to the Woo Hwang Guild in Korea.

Suspicion of internal corruption in recruiting guild members, suspicion of power abuse within the guild, etc.

He deliberately inflated the topic by bringing out only suspicious situations.

Of course, these contents were all dug up with unfounded circumstances.

To restore the image of the Ark Guild today.

It was an established fact that it took a considerable amount of time.

“You will still hold a grudge.”

Because of this, the relationship between the Ark Guild and the former producer is almost ruined.

Although it was covered in the original work that a tacit agreement between the parties was made, the detailed circumstances were not resolved.

It was clear that Gu Hwang-seok still had resentment.

Minjun called him right away.

“Long time no see. I am Cha Min-joon.”

-Oh, you contacted me first. nice to meet you

After exchanging simple regards, Minjun brought up the main topic.

current situation.

And frames overlaid through YesTube.

However, Gu Hwang-seok decided that there was nothing he could do right away.

-It’s not that I don’t know what you’re thinking, but that doesn’t mean I can’t think of a way to deal with PD.

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry about it.”

– What is that again?

“It will be revealed sooner or later. Although we need to move one step ahead of that.”

-… … ?

Gu Hwang-seok, who couldn’t understand Min-joon’s words right away.

By the time you’re full of curiosity.

Shocking stories began to flow from Minjun’s mouth.

“Because even before I started covering the Ark Guild, I was always a bad person. Of course it still is.”

-What are you talking about again?

“Where do I start talking about this?”

Min-joon paused for a moment, but continued speaking immediately.

“You may have noticed, but did you notice that we are focusing on new guilds recently?”

-Hmm, I don’t want to be associated with that broadcaster anymore, and I’m not interested in what they do.

“okay? Then, what if the former PD intentionally set the schedule like that?”

-on purpose?

Because the former PD is so meticulous that he is not very meticulous.

It was difficult for other broadcasters or his officials to know the former PD’s dark intentions.

However, obviously, the former PD was an icon driving corruption against the new guild.

“Not only bribery against new guilds, but even guild members don’t mind recruiting corruption.”

-… … !!

In the words of Minjun.

Gu Hwang-seok’s mouth froze for a moment.

A situation where there is no basis or evidence.

He was curious about Min-jun’s intentions as to why he said such words confidently and confidently.

-Hey, hey. Minjun Cha. I also have a grudge against the former PD. But I also judge people based on their credibility. Do you think I’ll believe you right away if you blindly talk about your former PD like that?

“Of course, I don’t speak with my bare mouth either.”

-That sounds like there is some circumstance.

Gu Hwang-seok seemed to want to know more closely.

As he wished, Min-joon also opened his mouth willingly.

“Of course, if there is such a thing as an idea, even my ex-PD wouldn’t leave a trace of a bribe. Most of it will be done on site.”

– Did you catch the scene?

“It will soon be like that.”

Recently, the trend of new guilds continues to increase.

Of course, with the exception of some of these guilds, they couldn’t survive for a year or two and were absorbed into other guilds.

They often disappear because new guild members are no longer recruited.

Taking advantage of this, former PDs often demanded all sorts of bribes from the weak new guild under the pretext of fame through filming, and were in charge of promoting the content market.

Unless, of course, these bribes are caught on the spot.

Since it was virtually difficult to be discovered, it was not easy to dig into the corruption of the former PD, who had a thorough personality.

But what if it was Gu Hwang-seok, the founder and master of the Ark Guild?

The story is a bit different.

-Hmm, if what you’re saying is true, I can’t stay still either. I mean, I’m a bit behind.

A character that can’t live without.

Gu Hwang-seok was like that.

Nothing has been revealed yet, but the more he hears Min-joon’s words, the more he feels his ears open.

“Every Wednesday around 8:35 p.m. If you go to the cafe behind the Merit Broadcasting Company building, you will know. Third table by the window. Maybe next week, my former PD will have another meeting with another guild. Observe carefully.”

-… How can you go into such detail?

“… I will no comment on that. Oh!”

-Do you have anything more to say?

“By the way, today is just Wednesday. then.”

To-to-

After saying most of the things he had to tell Gu Hwang-seok, Min-joon ended the call.

Now, it’s up to Gu Hwang-seok to find the former producer at a cafe near the broadcasting company building.

***

Gu Hwang-seok finished talking with Min-joon.

He suddenly had doubts.

“By the way, why do you look like you know everything? Just like I knew my relationship with PD from before.”

He didn’t mention it directly, but for some reason, he felt as if Min-jun knew about the relationship between himself and the former producer.

Moreover, the fact that he had been willing to contact me about this matter also raised questions.

‘He seems to be a deep-seated friend, but at times like this, he’s really young.’

I think I just became emotional after watching YesTube.

Since there was no one to ask for this, I wondered if I would have contacted him.

No matter what.

If what Min-jun said was true, Gu Hwang-seok had to prepare for the present.

“Hmm, it’s half past eight.”

The current time is half past six.

The travel time to the headquarters of Merit Broadcasting Corporation is not long.

It was a time when it would not be too late to prepare leisurely.

Before long, he called Lim.

Beep-

“Chief Lim, I need to go out for a while. Get me ready.”

-all right. I’ll see you in person.

“No, I will go alone.”

-yes? Alone?

“okay. Just get ready.”

– Al, I see.

Beep-

A casual outing.

Still, the old reputation was still left in the old hwangseok.

I needed makeup, not makeup.

Even the beard, which had grown profoundly, was specially tidied up today.

“I feel 10 years younger.”

Also, to give off a gentlemanly atmosphere.

Dressed in neat knitwear, the clothes were also neatly trimmed.

“Wouldn’t it be easy to tell them apart?”

Pointing to the cane hanging on one side of the wall, he looked like a middle-aged gentleman.

Director Lim knocked outside the door of Gu Hwang-seok’s master room while he was checking himself in the full-length mirror.

smart-

“come in.”

Director Lim opens the door and lowers his head.

He straightened his back and looked at Gu Hwang-seok, his eyes wide open.

“Eh, Master?!”

“Heh heh, how is it? It’s been a while since I’ve had a good look.”

“Are you going anywhere?”

At Director Lim’s words, Gu Hwang-seok came up with ventriloquism. It means you screwed it up.

“When everything is ready, go out and see. One more word and I don’t know what to do.”

“Oh, sorry. It’s so neat that I can’t recognize it, so I don’t know.”

“Then, wasn’t my appearance all along? Can I interpret it this way?”

“ah! That, not that.”

“No! i have to go Chief Lim, don’t move a single step here until I come. Not even one step.”

bang-

As it was, Gu Hwang-seok went out with the master room door closed.
