New work, new director

“Hmm, wouldn’t it be better for Yeonwoo-kun to take a break? I’ve already finished three works in a row.”

“It’s okay. CEO. I feel like I’ve been off for 40 years, so I want to do a lot of work.”

CEO Kim Joo-sung tilted his head and laughed bitterly at Yeon-woo, who was barely twenty, at an unknown joke.

“Mr. Fenton. Is it okay if I join them earlier?”

“Oh, of course. It was nice to see Director Johan after a long time.”

beep-.

“Please ask the two of you outside to come in.”

– yes. CEO.

Soon after, the door to the representative room opened and Hwang Min-kwon and Jeong Yo-han entered.

“Thank you! Please review it once. I am confident in the scenario.”

As Hwang Min-kwon entered, he bowed his head to say hello, took out three printed scenarios from the backpack he was carrying, and gave them to Yeon-woo, Joo-seong Kim, and Bernard Fenton.

“Hmm, I don’t know Korean at all. I’ll just talk with John after a long time.”

“Oh, Mr. Fenton, shall I explain the scenario then?”

As Jeong Yo-han opened his mouth with his eyes shining, Bernard Fenton nodded.

“Hmm, yes. Then let’s hear it. Is this a work in which John participates?”

“It just happened because this friend is the director and my bossom buddy.”

Yeonwoo accepted the scenario and started reading from the first chapter.

‘Well? A medical action movie…?’

On the cover of the scenario, it was written that the genre indicated with the tentative title of ‘White blood’ was a medical action movie.

‘First of all, it’s interesting, what the hell is a medical action movie? Are you fighting with a scalpel or a stethoscope?’

Yeon-woo was absorbed in the script and began to read.

It was the same for CEO Kim Joo-seong, who was sitting in front of him.

Over 20 minutes passed, and Yeon-woo, who had read most of the scenario, raised his head.

‘Hmm, this…’

At that time, CEO Kim Joo-seong looked up and looked at Yeon-woo as if he had read everything.

Then Yeon-woo opens his mouth to CEO Kim Joo-seong.

“CEO.”

“Ah, I know what you’re going to say. By the way, even if Yeonwoo takes a leave of absence, you know that you have to attend at least one semester this semester, right?”

According to the regulations of Korea University, if you take a leave of absence for more than 2 semesters after admission, your admission will be cancelled.

So, because he was going to apply for reinstatement next week, CEO Kim Joo-seong who hit the players ahead of time and reconfirmed to Yeonwoo.

“… well, yes it is.”

Unknown director Hwang Min-kwon, who sat quietly in the corner and watched the two of them react, seemed to be burning with shit.

“Hey…, how did you see…?”

Looking at Hwang Min-kwon, CEO Kim Joo-seong opened his mouth.

“Once I read the script well. The material is novel and quite interesting, but the composition and development are distracting and amateurish, so if it’s produced by LN, I think it’s going to have to be overhauled.”

Most creators are extremely reluctant to invade the world they have created.

However, director Hwang Min-kwon shines bright even after hearing harsh criticisms that can wrinkle his self-esteem in a way.

“As long as you can make it, it doesn’t matter as much as you like! Haha, I’m good at picking materials, but my writing and composition skills are really bad.”

Seeing director Hwang Min-kwon, who scratched the back of his head like a fool and smiled, CEO Kim Joo-seong touched his chin.

Yeon-woo thought while looking at CEO Kim Joo-seong like that.

‘When the CEO touches his chin like that, it’s time to think about whether it’s going to be long.’

After making a decision, Yeon-woo opened her mouth while looking at director Hwang Min-kwon.

In this case, you need to put a wedge.

“Does the director want me to be the main character?”

“Yes? Oh, yes! Of course! If possible.”

Hwang Min-kwon nodded his head widely, and Jeong Yo-han, who was still talking with Bernard Fenton, also opened his eyes.

If it’s Ryu Yeon-woo, who is now a box office check, it’s a plate that needs to be greeted with two feet up because two hands aren’t enough.

“Then my opinion is the same. It seems that the story revision is inevitable, and I have to return to college soon, so the filming time will be limited for the next 5 months. Is that okay?”

“Oh, of course it is. I will adapt everything to actor Ryu Yeon-woo.”

Seeing Min-kwon Hwang shaking his head widely, Yeon-woo shifted his gaze to CEO Kim Joo-seong.

CEO Kim Joo-seong saw Yeon-woo like that and shook his head as if he couldn’t be beaten.

beep-.

“Team Leader Jung, please tell me to come up to the representative office.”

– yes. CEO.

Representative Kim Joo-seong calls team leader Jeong-hyeok to adjust the schedule accurately.

Not long after, Team Leader Jeong Hyuk entered the representative room with a knock.

“Chief, have you called?”

“Um, Team Leader Jeong. What is Yeonwoo’s schedule?”

“It’s not available right now because it’s empty due to university problems, but there is an additional shoot for Lee Han Tech’s commercial in May.”

After hearing the words of team leader Jeong-hyuk, CEO Kim Joo-seong touched his chin again.

“Hmm, by the way, have you already made plans for May?”

“Ah, June is the month of Patriotism and Veterans Affairs, so I signed a contract to shoot a special advertisement before that.”

“Month of Patriotism and Veterans Affairs. That’s right.

“Yeah. I get dozens of requests a day, but I’m refusing them all as instructed.”

Hwang Min-kwon and Jeong Yo-han’s eyes widened as they listened to Team Leader Jeong-hyuk’s words.

Of course, it is a fact that everyone knows that Ryu Yeon-woo is doing well these days, but hearing the inside story directly touched me even more.

Hwang Min-kwon’s heart began to beat quickly when he thought that an actor who refused all the countless requests for roles could become the main character of the movie he was going to shoot.

Yeonwoo, who is talking about her schedule, but does not show much interest, is focusing on the scenario she received earlier.

Yeonwoo opens her mouth after thinking deeply while looking at the scenario.

“By the way. With this scenario, no matter how much I think about it, the story cannot be broken within the running time of the movie.”

“Hmm, that’s what I think too. Even with major revisions, the movie doesn’t quite fit.”

CEO Kim Joo-seong, who heard Yeon-woo’s words, also nodded.

Director Hwang Min-kwon, who had listened with his neck crooked like a jjuguri in the corner, tilted his head as he opened the scenario.

“Hey, I’m sorry, but what part would you like to change?”

At the words of director Hwang Min-kwon, Yeon-woo opened his mouth while holding the scenario with a troubled expression.

“Hmm, is it okay if I tell you the truth about what you think?”

“Yep! Of course.”

Yeonwoo opened his mouth as he turned the screenplay.

“For once, I think we have to cut out all the parts where alien ships appear all of a sudden.”

“Oh, yes.”

“It’s the same with the part where the dinosaurs pop out.”

“…Ah, yes.”

Yeon-woo continues the story while flipping through the scenario.

“I don’t think there is a need for a worldview related to the setting that the main character acquires SSS-level skills.”

“···yep.”

“It’s a supporting word in the middle. Tiredness, obsession, yandere?

“Hmm, I see.”

As he listened to the conversation between Yeon-woo and the man sitting opposite him, Team Leader Jeong-hyuk’s expression became more and more bizarre.

“What kind of skill is it with a dinosaur on an alien ship…? What the hell kind of scenario…”

Looking at team leader Jeong-hyeok, who had an expression that seemed impossible to understand through conversation alone, Yeon-woo smiled.

“Chief Jeong. Don’t worry. I will definitely get rid of them all. If you cut out those parts, the material is very good.”

Team leader Jeong-hyeok, who has no idea what kind of material he was bringing, looked at CEO Joo-seong Kim this time.

However, CEO Kim Joo-seong simply nodded his head and agreed.

At that time, Bernard Fenton, who was listening to the conversation through Jeong Yo-han, opened his mouth.

“I said earlier that this screenplay was too long to be made into a movie? Then what about Netflix?”

“Netflix?”

We gathered here today to have a conversation related to Netflix, but it was not in the field we were originally dealing with, so it was in an area outside our thoughts.

The eyes of the people in the room were focused on Fenton in the new story.

“As far as I know, I’ve heard that LN Media has enough in-house production capabilities, whether it’s a movie or a drama, but I can do it on my own to connect with Netflix.”

Hearing Bernard Fenton’s words, Yeonwoo immediately opened his mouth to see if he had an interesting thought.

“Mr. Fenton. When is the Netflix release date for the work I was originally going to audition for?”

“Well, I’m not sure, but I’m guessing around the end of this year or early next year.”

It is still unknown how the scenario brought by director Hwang Min-kwon will be modified, but considering the time of Yeon-woo’s return to school and the speed of filming thereafter, it was quite similar.

“It must be fun. Doing it on Netflix too.”

CEO Joo-Sung Kim also nodded.

“It’s too long to be made into a movie, and the material is too innovative to be organized into a drama. But it’s not the right size for a full story or cable…”

If we open the door to launching our own production in OTT (Over the Top) service that can directly provide media contents such as broadcasting or programs through the Internet, another option will open. This can give you an advantage when negotiating.

If LN Media can pioneer the OTT market, it will have a powerful weapon for the company as well.

If you are wrong, you will become an all-round production company that can directly transmit content with a broadcast station.

After the calculation, CEO Joo-Sung Kim made a decision.

“Let’s go. This project.”

Then Yeon-woo looked at Hwang Min-kwon.

“How about the director? If this happens, it won’t be a movie anyway.”

“Yes, yes? Everything is fine!”

It felt like Hwang Min-kwon’s soul was draining out of the story that was going on in a rush.

‘Damn, that’s great. But did actor Ryu Yeon-woo just call me director…? crazy! I should have recorded it.’

Hwang Min-kwon, who, until a few days ago, was scratching his buttocks while eating cup noodles and beer at home.

To him, Ryu Yeon-woo is a great star of Shenyang, a national prestige that can only be seen on the monitor.

Hwang Min-kwon was not the only one who could not keep up with the sudden progress of the story.

Team leader Jeong-hyuk, who tilted his head continuously, opened his mouth.

“By the way, after hearing about it, I’m curious. What genre is the work you’re talking about?”

I said I would exclude it from the story, but I was curious because it was said that it was not an ordinary genre to include the words alien ship or dinosaur.

Hearing the words of Team Leader Jeong-hyuk, Yeon-woo passed the scenario he was watching back to the front page.

“It’s a medical action movie.”

“Oh, hospital stuff…. Yeah? Action?”

Medicine is medicine, and action is action.

What the hell is a medical action? Team leader Jeong-hyeok looks strange again.

***

Of course, it’s not just about signing a contract just because the scenario is novel.

After they said they would review them positively and sent them back, the experts at LN Media analyzed the works in which director Hwang Min-kwon and director Jeong Yo-han participated to determine their capabilities.

CEO Joo-Sung Kim, who attended the meeting to hear a briefing about him the next day.

“···I understood this for the reasons explained above. President.”

The staff of the planning team finished the briefing while looking at the various analysis contents displayed on the screen.

“Hmm, so there was no problem with the skill aspect of the directing, but the story went to the mountains in the middle of all the works?”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

He tapped a name with his finger while alternately examining the contents of the analysis on the screen and the contents of the written report on the desk.

“The director is that way, but the CG director Jeong Yo-han is such a great person…”

The staff of the planning team nodded loudly after hearing CEO Joo-seong Kim’s self-talk.

“Until last year, even if you had money in Hollywood, you were a super rookie who couldn’t even afford to take on a job because the schedule was far behind.”

“Is the job of a CG director so different from each other?”

“Yes, CEO. Not only the technical part, but also the personal sense like directing plays a big role, so it is said that there are cases where the release schedule is deliberately adjusted for over a year in order to leave it to a team that is good at it.”

It’s getting harder to find works that don’t contain CG these days.

As technology advances, large-scale classic sci-fi novels that were previously only imaginable are being made into movies, and as the demand for novel and stimulating stories increases, supply is also following him.

In a way, it was natural for the CG team to play a bigger role in the completeness of the film.

“I think it’s almost all CG in this work…”

In a way, it could be said that the important thing was not director Hwang Min-kwon, but CG director Jeong Yo-han.

“Okay. Let’s move on with this matter. Disbandment.”

When the CEO’s approval fell, the planning team members quickly stood up and dispersed for their respective tasks.

Entering into a new project with self-production means that daily clothes have exploded.

On the other hand, Yeon-woo, who was reviewing the scenario again and thinking about improvements, heard the news that the final approval had been rejected and brought director Hwang Min-kwon and CG director Jeong Yo-han to the headquarters to have a meeting about the scenario.
