The response to the sequel to Chae Seo-yoon and the Polar Bear was less than expected.

└The real video is so beautiful

└CG is really cool, no one can keep up

└But why did you make Chae Seo-yoon wear a full-body suit? At least show your face

└It doesn’t look like Chae Seo-yoon acted, but rather it’s 100% CG with even her face covered?

└But if you have the skill of 30THC, wouldn’t you be able to create it from scratch with CG even without the video of Chae Seo Yoon acting?

└That also requires permission for portrait rights

Could it be because Chae Seo-yoon’s face is not visible at all due to the full-body suit that covers her face?

It definitely felt like she was someone else, not Chae Seo-yoon, because her face was covered.

Here I came to a realization.

The public attaches great significance to the actual actors themselves.

If not, there would have been no instances of actors leaving a currently airing drama due to a reality scandal.

This is why things like this happen, because you can’t look at the actor and the role completely separately.

‘People want to see the acting of real people. The better the acting of an actor, the deeper the life story of the actor, the more deeply they become immersed in that actor’s acting.’

No matter how pretty the real-life model created by AI is,

The moment you find out that it’s AI, it’s like you’re not attracted to it at all.

Unless they are animated characters, there are clear limits to how much we can immerse ourselves in and cheer for fictional characters in live-action media.

They should be able to exist and meet in real life, such as at production press conferences and fan meetings.

That is the instinct of humans as animals, the social nature of longing for the body temperature of others.

“But this person clearly checked the note, so why isn’t he replying yet… .”

Is it because I didn’t respond to your ‘urgent request for advice’?

Still, I sent a reply and a proposal asking for the scenario a few days later.

From that person’s perspective, didn’t it seem like I liked the scenario and was hesitating whether to buy it or not?

Why on earth is there no reply?

***

Studio Redspit.

A film production company owned by Lim Hwa-shin, a young director in his 40s who is in the limelight.

There is still no work that has drawn 10 million viewers.

However, all the films produced so far have made solid profits without fail, and as a result, they have received recognition and trust from distributors and investors.

CEO Lee Min-seong clicked his tongue when he saw Director Im Hwa-shin with his head wrapped up again today.

“Director, protesting is useless. What can’t be done, can’t be done.”

“No, I’m not protesting right now.”

“In that scenario, we can’t receive investment from domestic investors. If you really want to do it like that, let’s go with Net Prince, okay?”

“They only take a certain amount and then sell it.”

“It’s not that much of a mistake. Above all, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Above all, the investors’ trauma hasn’t been erased yet.

It’s not just SF, it’s a space opera. No matter how great the name of director Im Hwa-shin is, everyone runs away. ”

The bearded Im Hwa-shin squinted his eyes.

“Someone told me to just sell the scenario.”

“Oh, that’s great.”

“When are you going to bring Net Prince?”

“It would be better to make at least one more hit movie while making that one. And sell that one out right away.”

“They said they’d give me 20 million won. Just for the animation rights.”

“Hey, that’s not it. Even though it’s a space opera, it’s a scenario that the world-renowned director Im Hwa-shin personally wrote. Where did you get it for 20 million won? ”

“But the other person knows me as an unknown applicant.”

“Our director, you’re having fun with Undercover Boss too. Can you please not do something like that?”

“No, it needs to be reviewed without my name to prove objectivity and see if it’s right or not. If you say it’s the Im Hwa-shin scenario, people will start criticizing it.”

“Who? First of all, it’s not me.”

Im Hwa-shin frowned and looked at the monitor.

[From: Brain Click]

To summarize the long note, this is what it boils down to.

-I’ll buy it for 20 million won.

-Only single animation copyright.

From their perspective, they presented it in a good way.

Since I know you are an unknown applicant, I gave you a generous price.

‘But what’s your nickname, Brain Clicker?’

If you just look at your nickname, you seem really young and reckless.

If you look at the black and white animation storyboard video that he made in just a few hours after uploading the scenario, you can see that he is a professional among professionals.

The problem is that I have no idea who it is.

‘Who the hell are you?’

I’ve already contacted all the people with potential.

I pretended as if I had seen the continuity video by chance through someone else.

-No, it’s not me.

-Do I look like I don’t have anything to do?

-Hey, are you sure you made this in just a few hours? It would take several days just to draw the picture.

‘Who the hell are you?’

More than who it was, I was crazy curious about what they were going to do with this scenario.

‘I’m confident that I can produce this as an animation.’

Im Hwa-shin has never once thought about turning it into an animation.

So my curiosity grew even more.

After much thought, he began to write a reply.

[After much thought, I am sending you a reply…]

***

I arrived at the meeting place early and waited.

I feel nervous for no reason.

I read the animation copyright agreement again.

The industry standard format was printed as is, and only the purchase price was added separately. 20 million won.

“Are you someone from Precutter?”

A cautious voice.

I raised my head and was startled.

The other person’s eyes met mine and he was startled.

I think we both had similar thoughts.

‘You’re such a late bloomer. Are you a case of someone who’s trying to make their dreams come true even now?’

A face that looks like it’s in its 40s.

A bushy beard and casual attire.

Just by looking at his appearance, he seems like a moderately famous film director.

“Yes, I am the person who signed the copyright purchase contract in Freecutter.”

“New, you’re younger than I thought… .”

“Because I’m just a regular employee.”

Precutter.

The company name is derived from .

The setting is that I am a new employee who was instructed to just bring a photocopy of the contract.

If we do this, we don’t have to talk in a tangled manner.

“… Our country’s animation production market is dead, so are you going to take it to Japan or the US and produce it there?”

I don’t know why you, this late bloomer, are talking so much.

I didn’t want to waste any more time, so I made a slight face and spoke.

“I’m a newbie so I don’t know anything. I heard that I just need to get the name on the contract. If you don’t want to sign the contract, please tell me to report it to my superiors right away.”

“… Oh, then I’ll sign first.”

Finally, the copyright for this scenario animation is mine.

I spent 20 million won out of the 100 million won I received for data recovery, but I don’t regret it.

“Can the proposed scenario really be produced as an animation, rather than being relegated to being just one of the collections?”

It is expected to be a high-quality work that has never existed before or in the future.

The setting is that I’m just a rookie who came out to get signatures.

“I think the people above seriously think it’s possible. I don’t know more than that.”

“But this is my first time hearing about the company called Precutter, and I think they have a really talented animation director. Do you happen to know his name… .”

“I’m sorry, but I’m a newbie in the general affairs team, so I don’t know much.”

What’s the big deal about a late bloomer who’s obsessed with something?

Video apps don’t create stories on their own.

It’s not that they can’t do it, but they say it’s a feature they intentionally don’t support.

I guess it’s for reasons like preventing users from losing interest early and encouraging creativity.

That’s because it’s an app that was created with the design philosophy of ‘How can we make people immerse themselves in video content?’

But I guess I don’t have any particular talent for media production.

But it doesn’t matter.

All you have to do is find a good scenario, buy it, and leave the visualization to a video app.

‘Video app. Okay, let’s make one first.’

【Starting production of pilot video】

Live-action films have many restrictions, such as registration and approval of real models.

But animation doesn’t matter.

Because only 2D characters appear.

The 130-minute animation was created in an instant.

30th century technology, still amazing.

I think video editing software manufacturers would be frustrated if they saw this.

The first report is awaiting approval.

Now is the time to put down the mandatory pack.

‘I don’t like this part. I can’t explain it, but I just don’t like it.’

‘This expression seems too dull. Was this the best you could have done? Couldn’t you have done better?’

‘This doesn’t seem bad. But it’s not that great either. It needs some more improvement.’

‘How do you change it? I don’t know either.’

【The image is taking shape in Cha Do-young’s head.】

【We will improve the pilot video based on the modified image.】

I’m not sure what I thought of.

It’s convenient because it automatically reads the images in my head and reflects them.

The pilot video was made in no time.

My nagging and interference for correction continued for a very long time.

The earnest nagging and revisions continued for hours.

I compared the first version with the version that I modified through my involvement… .

‘Let’s just go with the original version.’

What was thrown in the trash was my intellectual property.

I was upset, but when I actually applied the part I wanted to improve, it was too much.

If you look at the sequence itself, it’s not bad, but I would say it ruins the overall flow.

It’s not called a thousand-year-later video app for nothing.

【I suggest.】

【In addition to the feature film, how about producing a series version consisting of 6 episodes?】

huh?

Should we make a 6-part series version?

【It is more appropriate to upload it as a short series on Wetube.】
