【This app is an all-purpose video app that can shoot, produce, edit, and broadcast all video content, including movies, dramas, animations, and shorts.】

【Do you want to install the Premium Cut 3000 version?】

【Yes / No】

On my way to work, something like a holographic window suddenly blocked my view.

I looked around in confusion.

Absurdly, the holographic window moved as if it was fixed in my field of vision.

‘What is this? Are my eyes going crazy?’

I rubbed my eyes, closed and opened them, and tried everything, but the message window did not disappear.

I pressed ‘No’ just in case.

As soon as I pressed it, the message window disappeared.

‘Thank goodness. I was hallucinating for a moment…’

【Do you want to install the Premium Cut 3000 version?】

【Yes / No】

no.

no.

Nooo!

I’m going to go.

No matter how many times I press ‘No’, the message window appears again.

The problem is that it’s right in the center of my field of vision.

The view is so obstructed, it’s driving me crazy.

I have no idea what station this is or what’s in front of me.

After pressing ‘No’ dozens of times, I finally pressed ‘Yes’ in despair.

【Premium Cut 3000 version has been installed.】

Only then did my vision clear up.

‘What the hell is going on?’

I never thought that something I only saw in fiction would happen to me.

Of all days, on the first day of work.

***

“Doyoung, you. What’s wrong with your face? Did you lose sleep last night because you thought about seeing a celebrity?

“Uncle, that’s not it.”

“This isn’t the scene, so you won’t see many famous celebrities. So don’t get your hopes up.”

No, it’s because of a video app that was installed without permission in my head this morning.

【Would you like to start the premium cut tutorial?】

【Yes / No】

‘But what is this, really?’

A job that my uncle got me through his connections.

Things got really messed up from my first day at work.

My uncle is explaining the work in detail, but I can’t concentrate.

If you choose ‘No’, it will keep popping up windows every 10 minutes, driving you crazy.

Okay, I got it.

I lost.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I repeatedly pounded the button in the air.

“If you happen to run into any of our celebrities, stay as far away as possible and ask, “What are you doing?””

“Oh, there’s a fly flying around.”

“You won’t die if you get bitten. Don’t do that, it’ll make you look crazy.”

“I’m sorry.”

【You can operate the system interface through thoughts.】

【I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the thought manipulation method.】

This thing works just by thinking about it?

Phew, let’s focus.

Indeed, it wasn’t as difficult as I thought.

Even though it was my first time, it felt more natural and smooth than moving my hands and feet.

“Doyoung. Come here.”

Then my uncle suddenly grabbed me.

Only then could I see.

The sight of a slender woman walking proudly from over there.

‘Wow. So damn pretty.’

How can a person be like that?

Could that be the primate known as Homo sapiens elf?

Without realizing it, my gaze kept going in that direction.

I quickly and forcibly fixed my head.

“Wow, uncle. You are really so pretty. Who are you?”

“What are you talking about? It’s Chae Seo-yoon.”

“Huh? Is this Chae Seo-yoon?”

“Yeah. Chae Seo-yoon. You don’t know?”

No, no, of course I know the Korean wave star Chae Seo-yoon well.

“Well, people who see Chae Seo-yoon in person for the first time often show similar reactions to you. She’s an unlucky actress who doesn’t really get much attention from the camera because of the lens curse. She’s much better in person.”

A top Korean wave star who is cursed by the lens.

But the real thing was really crazy.

Because I didn’t recognize it for a moment.

Rather than saying that I couldn’t recognize the face, I think my cognitive abilities were momentarily halted due to being beaten by overwhelming visual violence.

“Uncle, didn’t you say that you don’t see many famous celebrities at the office building?”

“Doyoung, you were lucky today. This is the first time I’ve met Chae Seo-yoon in the office building, not on-site.”

It’s really pretty, it’s mercilessly pretty.

No, I don’t think even the word pretty is enough.

It just feels like the concept of beauty itself has been transformed into a human form?

【Would you like to register Chae Seo-yoon in the model data?】

【Yes / No】

It’s a surprise.

【Register Chae Seo-yoon in model data】

【Assigned to slot 1.】

【Slot Status: 1/1】

I never said anything like that about registering…?

【The ideological interface operates according to the user’s will.】

therefore,

Does that mean I unconsciously shouted ‘Yes!’ without hesitation?

【Do you want to remove Chae Seo-yoon from the model data?】

No, that’s not it.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s not that, so leave it alone.

***

As we progressed to ‘Tutorial Yes’, we were not bothered by pop-ups at random times.

I was a bit out of it, but I was still able to finish my first day at work without any problems.

“Is the work worth doing?”

“Thanks to my uncle’s help.”

“The work is a bit tough, but our company provides money and food without any problems. How long do you think you’ll be working?”

“I don’t know. I’m just going to try to save up some money by killing as much as I can here.”

“Work hard.”

“Yes, thank you.”

When I arrived at the studio, it was already 8 o’clock.

This is the first day I’ve had since I was discharged from the military that I’ve been this crazy.

After taking a shower and feeling refreshed, I finally faced the phenomenon I had experienced today.

‘Premium cut. What on earth are you?’

【This app is a video app for creating video content. It was released in the year 3000.】

‘Yeah. 3000 AD… What? So you’re saying it was made 1000 years later?’

【Yes.】

‘No, but why are you in this era? Did you time travel or something?’

【This app does not have space-time or dimension movement functions. I don’t know why it was installed in this era.】

【This app exists to support the creation of high-quality video content that users seek.】

I asked the app seriously and had a conversation.

It feels like I’m having a stiff information exchange with something like a chat AI rather than a person.

According to the description, it was designed this way on purpose.

To make the premium cut feel like a tool rather than a person.

‘Then what kind of videos can you make?’

I’ve never even imagined anything like video production.

The only reason I got into the agency was because my uncle introduced me to a vacant position in the general affairs department at the head office.

【Start with easy parody videos that are fun and motivating.】

【Search for model Chae Seo-yoon in slot 1.】

【Found the appropriate videos】

A list of recommendations appeared in the status window.

The number is 6,819,713?

I just picked any one of the top five.

“Ah, this is a CF that’s been coming out these days.”

A spring CF for a famous domestic carbonated beverage.

Chae Seo-yoon, riding a snowboard, quickly descends the dizzying snow field as if performing acrobatics.

Finish the course with some cool tricks,

As you open a can of soda and enjoy a refreshing drink, the scenery changes into a bright spring.

“But what do you want me to do with this?”

【Please indicate the point you would like to change.】

The AI drawing creation tool is said to produce results like a lottery by combining commands.

Can I do something similar?

A typical CF of someone skiing downhill and then drinking a can of soda.

How about changing the story to a mad movie about being chased by the devil in hell?

Does it sound fun?

“First, I’ll leave Chae Seo-yoon’s movements untouched and just change the background. Instead of a ski resort, I’ll change it to something like a huge volcano with lava flowing out.”

“A cool feeling of riding the lava with a board like surfing in the ocean.”

“The volcano is collapsing from the top. No, it’s a huge demon striking down with his fist and collapsing the volcano. Chae Seo-yoon is running away.”

“In the end, instead of the background changing to spring, it should change to the middle of a boiling hell. Yes. I like this one.”

“Wait. I wish the sparks flying off the side of the board were more powerful when you ride the lava wave. Like welding.”

As I observed the process with my own eyes and gave instructions here and there, the images in my head became clearer.

The desire to create also soars wildly.

The mad movie version was completed in just a few minutes… .

“Not bad.”

***

[Kim Lord] Sir, you really have to watch this, the editing is totally crazy (link)

Chae Seo-yoon’s real-life manager, Kim Kyung-wook, absentmindedly clicked on the link that the road manager had sent while making a fuss.

It was a parody video that changed a spring beverage CF that was filmed a while ago into a mad movie.

After watching dryly for a few seconds, he suddenly sat up and opened his eyes wide.

Chae Seo-yoon, on a snowboard, surfs down lava flowing from a volcano instead of a snow field.

Every time the giant demon strikes with its fists as if trying to capture Chae Seo-yoon, the mountain is cut away.

Finally arriving at the bottom of the mountain, Chae Seo-yoon’s surroundings are a hellfire full of evil spirits and seething flames.

Chae Seo-yoon opens a can of soda with a refreshing expression, drinks it, and then throws the empty can behind her.

The moment the can hits the ground, a white cold air spreads out at a terrifying speed, freezing everything.

The fires of hell are extinguished, the frozen demons are broken,

The giant demon chasing Chae Seo-yoon also turns into cold ice.

Behind Chae Seo-yoon’s bright smile, the soul of a giant demon is sucked into an empty can.

The video ends with the can lid flying off and sealing it tightly as if it were new.

Kim Kyung-wook was truly impressed.

“What is this? They made a beverage commercial into some kind of Hollywood mad movie.”

He watched it over and over again and compared it to the original CF.

“Wow, looking at the quality, the fan video looks exactly like the original. The CF looks like a parody.”

When compared side by side,

The original CF made by a professional company felt like a crude parody video.

“Jinseong-ah. Who made this?”

-I don’t know either. It suddenly appeared on YouTube and the response is explosive right now. Everyone is going crazy saying that this is the original version of the CF?

Director Kim Kyung-wook is watching the original CF and parody CF again.

[From: Chief]

I got a call from my boss.

“Yes, Chief.”

-Director Kim, did you see the Seo Yoon CF parody? That crazy CG movie.

“Now watching.”

-Call them right now. You know what I mean?

“I’m already writing a proposal.”
