Break time during reading.

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok approaches Hwang Hye-jin and gives her a thorough shoulder massage.

Not by hand, but with an electric massage device that I don’t know where it came from.

As was often the case, Hwang Hye-jin received an electric massage while stretching her shoulders and arms here and there.

I captured the whole scene on camera.

Anyway, the video app automatically records everything.

There is a joy in observing live through the viewfinder that is difficult to describe in words.

Hwang Hye-jin stands up from her seat and makes an X with both arms towards me.

It means going to the bathroom.

Only then did I turn off the camera.

“Thank you for your hard work. Please have this.”

“Oh, thank you.”

A nice-looking manager handed me a can of soda.

I was also thirsty, so I opened it without hesitation and drank it in one gulp.

“I’m meeting you for the first time, so I’d like to give you a quick introduction. I’m Yoon Soo-hyun’s manager. Did you change jobs recently? I’ve never seen you before.”

“Similar. I recently changed jobs.”

“Ah, as expected. You look so healthy. Did you happen to work in the documentary field? I don’t know many faces there… .”

After listening to this, I think this person is misunderstanding something.

“I work under Team Leader Pintree Jo-un-seok.”

“Huh? You were the manager?”

“That’s not a manager, he’s just an employee working in Management Team 3.”

The man’s pupils shake without warning.

A reaction that seems like some kind of great sense of betrayal.

“Oh, then by any chance, what about the years of service… .”

“It hasn’t even been two months since I joined the company.”

“By any chance before that… .”

Then Hwang Hye-jin came back, and I quickly turned on the camera.

“I’m sorry, but I had to take a picture of Hyejin. Thank you for the drink.”

“Ah, yes… .”

The other actor’s manager backed off, dumbfounded.

Now that I think about it, it seems like the other managers have been glancing at me for a while now.

Did you misunderstand me as belonging to a studio?

‘I guess people get misunderstood like this because the equipment is good.’

There were studio staff filming making-of videos here and there.

Even to a beginner like me, my equipment looks far better than theirs.

The script reading began next, and the actors again gave passionate performances.

“ Okay, I think we roughly decided on the direction zero point today. I think there will be no problem if we start filming right away. I will set the filming schedule within next week and contact you through the agency. Thank you all for your hard work today. ”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

Finally, the reading is over.

Even as the staff was removing the equipment, I paid no attention and took pictures of Hwang Hye-jin.

Just taking pictures of the subject itself was so much fun.

Knock knock.

I took my eyes off the viewfinder when I felt someone tapping my shoulder.

PD Son Jin-goo was looking around with curious eyes.

I quickly lowered my head.

“Yes, PD-nim.”

“I’ve never seen that face before. The reading is over, so why are you still taking pictures? Why are you working so hard?”

“Ah, I am a Finetree Entertainment employee.”

“Huh? You were the manager? I thought you were one of our new staff members.”

I look up and down my body again, slightly surprised.

“Your body is too small to be a manager. You look like you can stay up all night for days on end at the filming location.”

“… Thank you.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

PD Son smiled and greeted the other actors and managers one by one.

I suddenly remembered his leadership that had kept the actors in check from beginning to end.

The captain of a large ship called the Drama Winter Castle.

I wonder how different the results he produces will be from the images I saw on the video app.

‘I’d like to step forward and offer to do CG work for free.’

Since it’s a drama, things like CG will be kept to a minimum.

Even if you just put in the background that the video app made, the drama level would go up a few levels.

‘Please show off Hyejin’s acting during the script reading today.’

【Execute the command.】

Several spears appeared in the air.

Hwang Hye-jin’s passionate performance is shown from various angles and times.

‘Please edit it so that it can be used for promotional purposes. Add some subtitles, and add some special effects so that it’s not too messy. The concept is to promote the newcomer Hwang Hye-jin.’

【Execute the command.】

I really liked the promotional making-of video that was made so quickly.

In the video, Hwang Hye-jin, who was appropriately touched up to avoid being seen, was really pretty and lovely.

At this point, I think male fans will go crazy and flock to it?

After I transferred the video edited by the video app to my laptop, I showed it to Team Leader Jo Woon-seok in the van.

“Team Leader, I took the time to do some light editing.”

“Really? Doyoung is working very hard.”

After watching the video, Team Leader Nanjo Yun-seok looks back at me in admiration.

“Hey, Hyejin reading was filmed so beautifully, right? When did you edit it like this?”

“I did it during my breaks.”

“You said you’d never touched a camera before, but now you’re even editing? If you sleep for a few more days and wake up, won’t you be a new PD?”

“Team Leader Oppa, show me too. Me too.”

Hwang Hye-jin saw the results of the video app and kept exclaiming “Wow, wow” in delight.

“Don’t I look too pretty? I don’t actually look like this.”

“What are you talking about? Hyejin, you’re prettier in real life than this.”

“Hey, it’s true that the video came out prettier than the real thing. Doyoung oppa, please keep filming like this in the future.”

“How great would it have been if our Doyoung had been the drama camera director?”

I know it’s just empty talk, but it makes me feel good for no reason.

Take Hwang Hye-jin home.

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok spoke to me before returning to the company in the van.

“This is an important time for Hyejin right now, so I’m following her around and taking care of her myself, but later on, someone at the manager level will follow her around instead.”

“Can I just keep carrying the camera around?”

“Yeah. But if the friend who comes instead of me says this or that, tell him clearly that I only gave him camera duties. Well… I don’t think I can treat Doyoung carelessly though.”

As I was returning home with my camera bag, I suddenly remembered it and searched for the model name.

And then I found out that Jo Woon-seok was lying.

“Domestic sedan price?”

I thought it would cost around 30 to 40 million won.

This is the price of a foreign brand sedan.

The deposit for my one-room apartment was incomparable to yours.

I searched the price for nothing.

It would have been more comfortable not to know.

***

The teaser for , which was created from a scenario that purchased the animation rights from an unknown aspiring artist, received a very good response.

The number of views exceeded 3 million and revenue was generated.

“9 million won?”

Suddenly, I even thought about quitting the company and everything.

I found out that general channels earn about 3 won per view in advertising revenue.

This is the basic cutoff line for generating real profits.

“Calm down, calm down. It’s not like going to work is interfering with channel operation anyway.”

I spend very little time creating content.

If you just nag a few words, the video app will automatically create it for you.

It is possible to have an efficient and comfortable two-job.

└29 days until the main anime release

└Until then, I’ll hold my breath and wait

└If the quality of the teaser is maintained at half the level of the original, the animation and visual beauty will likely rank among the masterpieces of the century.

There were also contacts from several companies via business email.

Most of the content was about product sponsorship, and there were no outsourcing proposals as I had hoped.

[Hello, we are cable broadcasting station Anytime.]

The contact from the animation cable channel caught my eye the most.

I read the email and it said that you were interested in the animation produced by our channel.

Because it’s being broadcast on a broadcasting station channel.

It’s a good suggestion, but I decided to decline because growing the YouTube channel is more important right now.

‘By the way, you already made 9 million won in profit with just one teaser.’

I think I’ll finish this tutorial step 2 quest sooner than I thought.

The first filming day has arrived.

I woke up early in the morning because I was nervous even though I wasn’t acting.

I hurriedly finished getting ready for work, carefully packed my camera, and headed to the site.

The production staff is diligently decorating the filming set and checking the movement route.

‘It’s more messy than I thought.’

The filming location was said to be messier than imagined.

The camera frame that the viewers will ultimately see.

If you take just one step out of there, there are all kinds of junk and cables rolling around.

They say that the staff members move around in a narrow space without bumping into each other.

When I arrived at the actual set right before filming, I could feel that it was more messy than I had vaguely imagined.

‘Here Hyejin is showing off her first real acting skills.’

I’m getting nervous for no reason.

【You can predict the final result.】

‘Final result?’

【This refers to the final content result that viewers encounter.】

【You can predict the maximum by comprehensively considering the set, filming equipment, time allocated to the program and filming schedule, production cost, editing technology, etc.】

‘Oh, give it a try.’

【Because this is a simulation prediction, this video will be discarded after viewing.】

The TV broadcast came to mind before my eyes.

I watched it while comparing it to the version of the script that I had previously seen on a video app.

‘What the heck. What the heck is this? They’re broadcasting it in this quality? Really?’

【This is the highest quality expected.】

‘So you’re saying it’s made at a level that’s even worse than this?’
