81. that would be fun

Complex Chief Content Officer Remenes (COO).

Complex is an American-born multimedia entertainment OTT company. Co-founders, Chris and Remenes, started as a video rental business in college, went through DVD, and now provide online streaming services to North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. We are expanding our service all over the world.

The current status of Complex was crossing even Disney’s market cap, and it was getting closer to the title of the world’s largest entertainment company.

Regarding complex contents, Remenes has been in charge since the beginning of the business. While Chris, the co-founder, has worked in management and finance, Remenes has been in charge of content licensing and original content production.

And it was little known in the business world that Remenes was from Costaco, a Greek conglomerate.

“brother! how much is this ha ha ha.”

“Finally seeing your face, Remenes. After a year?”

The two brothers who hadn’t seen each other in a long time hugged each other.

“I have to show my face often, so I’m sorry. I’m so busy with work that I’m distracted. Still, I have to participate in my father’s birthday.”

“You did well. You’re busy, you know. I’ve been immersed in Complex works lately, and it’s to the point where I’m having trouble with my work.”

“Won true. Unlike me, my older brother is shouldering the karma of our family, right? I am always grateful to my brother.”

“Gratitude is something you do as a matter of course.”

“Still, thanks to my older brother, I am living doing what I want to do, right? I will do my best not to tarnish the name of the family wherever I go.”

“You are doing well enough. Remenes You built a huge organization like Complex without any help from your family. that’s really awesome Although he is my younger brother, I am very respectful and proud of him.”

It was sincere. Remias was proud of his only younger brother, Remenes. His younger brother was really eccentric from a young age. He received education such as emperor and management from a young age to inherit the family business, but his younger brother Remenes thoroughly rejected such education and devoted himself to reading genre novels and watching movies.

“I will do what I am good at. My brother will do well in the shipping industry, so I will go my own way.”

Remenes, who had a talent for studies since childhood, eventually entered the Harvard University Department of Sociology in the United States. Since then, without family support, he has risen to the current COO (Chief Operating Officer) position of Complexix.

“I’ve been holding on too long. let’s go in Father and mother are anxiously waiting for you.”

“Yeah. Brother, please go in.”

The banquet hall of Costaco, Greece’s largest conglomerate, has been buzzing for the first time in a while. In the banquet hall overlooking the Aegean Sea at a glance, all relatives involved in the celebration of the birthday of Leos, the emperor of ships, participated in the banquet. At the same time, he tried his best to catch Leo’s eyes even a little bit.

Remias was talking with his younger brother, Remenes, whom he hadn’t seen in a while.

“ah! brother. You said you almost got kidnapped a while ago? I heard the news too late. I contacted you too late. sorry.”

“no. I wasn’t really kidnapped, so what? Growing things up is not a good thing. That’s why I deliberately kept quiet.”

“What the hell happened? Please tell me more.”

At the question of his younger brother Remenes, Remias said with twinkling eyes.

“Actually, there is something I really wanted to tell you. It really happened to me like it would happen in a movie.”

From the moment Remias was almost kidnapped by gangsters, to what Gyu-ha rescued him, and to inviting him to a banquet and enjoying a banquet, his father, Leos, even discovered the family silver plaque that Gyu-ha was carrying.

Watching Remias excitedly talk about things that are hard to believe even after hearing them, his younger brother Remenes was taken aback.

“brother. The story is interesting, but isn’t it too much of an exaggeration? Did that happen in that short amount of time?”

Remias beat his chest and said, as if Remenes, who did not believe, was frustrated.

“Really. Lemenes. I honestly wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t my job, but it definitely happened.”

Remenes had no choice but to trust him because he knew the personality of his older brother Remias, who hated bluffing and lies.

“If true, that would be surprising. Who is he?”

“This is Song Gyu-hara. He said he is Korean and an actor. The grace I received from Kyuha is too great. So I want to repay you in some way. That friend was a person with a much bigger bowl than I thought. I offered him a huge reward, but he quickly refused. What you are saying is a masterpiece. ha ha ha.”

Remenes asked promptly.

“What did you say?”

“He asked to be friends rather than money. hahahahaha what a great person Anyway, I want to help him in some way. So, by any chance, Remenes, is there anything you can do to help?”

At his brother’s words, Remenes scratched his head as if embarrassed.

“I understand what you said, but one of the reasons why our complex makes the best content in every aspect is giving each team decision-making. In fact, each team can work on a project without my approval. Even if I object.”

It was true. Complex is composed of decentralized planning and production organizations to produce various contents. Since each team makes its own decision-making like a semi-independent organization, it was a structure in which even the top manager could not proceed with production at will.

“yes? Unlike the shipping industry, it is a fairly horizontal and flexible organizational structure. But what I’m trying to say is not to ask you to write Gyuha unconditionally, but if there is a suitable role, can’t you give it a chance, whether it’s an audition or a test? If the team you mentioned doesn’t like Kyu-ha, then of course he’ll drop.”

Remenes asked with a slightly surprised expression.

“Hyung-nim is sincere with that Song Gyu-hara. Do you know that this is the first time you’ve asked me for something like this?”

“ha ha ha. Because I’m sincere. I’m not just asking It’s not like I’m simply saying that I owe him something to pay. Kyu-Ha He… He’s such a mysterious person. It has a charm that draws people in the more you look at it. Honestly, if given the chance, I’m sure he’s someone who will exceed expectations in any way.”

Even within the family, Remias had a reputation for having an excellent eye for people, so Remenes was also curious about Kyu-Ha. The true nature of Remias, he thought, was his discerning eye for people. He had an excellent talent for putting the right people in the right places to keep the organization running smoothly.

“Since my older brother said this, I can’t help but be curious. good. There are certain roles that just come to mind. Originally, a Chinese actor was on the list, but I will try my best to get a chance to meet with the head of the original content team.”

Only then did Remias’s face smile and he wrapped his arms around his brother’s shoulder.

“Thank you, Remenes. Thanks to you, I can save a little face. You’ll know when you meet him too. Why am I saying this and doing this?”

***

Stellar entertainment conference room.

Team leader Han Jeong-hee hurriedly called Kyu-ha to the company for a meeting with Complex.

“Kyuha-san, let me tell you directly. Complex has asked for a meeting with Kyuha.”

Bong-gu, the manager next to him, exclaimed in surprise.

“Com, complex? They will create content for the global market, isn’t it great? There must not be an actor who has done that work in Korea yet…”

“Of course it’s great. Of course, if you are cast.”

At that, Kyuha asked.

“What exactly did you say there?”

“He told the Complex side honestly. There was an internal recommendation for Kyuha. However, he said that a famous actor in China is actually a powerful situation. So it could be a nominal meeting. They’re asking if you agree to the meeting, saying they’ll even send you a plane ticket.”

“Hmm… What do you think, the team leader?”

“It has to be unconditional. In the case of Complex, the distribution market is much larger, and above all, you don’t have to worry about Chinese capital, so honestly… it’s also the most suitable place for our current situation.”

“Then let’s try it. I’ll go. United States of America.”

Han Jeong-hee, who was nervous that he might refuse, let out a relieved sigh when he heard Kyu-ha’s words.

“Good idea. This is a really big opportunity. You can fly higher… Of course it won’t be easy. It’s clear why they want to cast Chinese actors.”

From Complex’s point of view, it must have been a plan to break through the Chinese market, which is still impregnable. Due to China’s strict regulations, advances to China have been blocked every time, but it was obvious that they would knock on the door of the Chinese market once again by casting Chinese actors.

“However, you are well aware that this content market does not consist only of such market logic. If they see something about Kyuha at the meeting, it could definitely turn the tables. Of course, it is absolutely not a burden to Kyuha. Even if it doesn’t go well, it’s just that it’s not related to the work, and it’s absolutely not that Kyu-ha is lacking.”

Han Jeong-hee’s eyes were full of trust in Kyu-ha.

“Thank you for trusting me. manager. Give it a try anyway, we.”

“Of course I believe. I’ve learned And Gyuha, do you know that something has changed since you came back to Greece?”

“Have I changed? Which one?”

Han Jeong-hee himself frowned as if he was frustrated when the explanation was not clear.

“I’ve talked about it before, but what can I say…? It’s hard to explain this in just one word, but I have an aura that attracts people more than before. In the past, to be honest, the impact was weak except when acting Kyu-ha, but now I have to say that he really looks like a celebrity..? Anyway, there is such a thing.”

Gyuha nodded, thinking it was because of the relic’s appearance.

“Anyway, as long as it’s good, that’s fine. what ha ha ha.”

At that time, Bong-gu, who had been listening quietly, asked a question.

“That chief. But after listening to it, I don’t think the most important thing came out. What kind of role will you play? What kind of work is it?”

Team leader Han Jeong-hee was taken aback by Bong-gu’s words.

“oh! Come to think of it, I left out the most important part. First of all, Complex is an American original content work, and the title is yet to be decided. The role to be played is an Asian of the leading role. And there was a point that the Complex side would consider most important.”

Han Jeong-hee looked at Kyu-ha with slightly worried eyes and said.

“We haven’t been told everything exactly yet. The genre is a martial arts action film. The Asian character played by Kyu-Ha is falsely accused and ends up in an American prison full of whites and blacks, and the only Asian protagonist learns martial arts to survive there. So, if you do a project, you will have to build your body and learn martial arts from an expert.”

In an instant, Kyu-ha’s eyes flashed.

“That would be fun.”
