Chae Seo-yoon is the best of the current era.

Unrivaled beauty, popularity, and a brilliant career.

At least among normal men, there won’t be anyone who dislikes Chae Seo-yoon.

Originally, I was just one of those many fans.

Now, interest in Chae Seo-yoon has gone up a few steps compared to before.

‘What will Chae Seo-yoon think of the video I clicked?’

Anyway, this is a creative work that I put a little bit of my effort, no, my complaints, into.

How would Chae Seo-yoon, the object and owner of that creativity, feel about my video?

Anyone in my shoes would be curious.

And finally the opportunity came.

“You drew all of this?”

“Yes, I worked on the video storyboard.”

I could feel Team Leader Jo Woon-seok being agitated, but for now, I pretended not to notice.

Chae Seo-yoon bit her lips and turned the pages of her sketchbook.

Mad Movie Sketch that I ‘printed’ to Mirae App late. Of course, I used the printing tool.

Although it is a black and white illustration, it is colorful enough to feel the liveliness of a mad movie commercial.

One sheet, two sheets, three sheets… .

The sketchbook turns very slowly, very lazily.

It’s a good sign.

As we go back, Chae Seo-yoon’s stiff expression gradually loosens up.

Little by little, a smile appears on my face.

The girlish smile and mask that goes well with her proud expression make me imagine scenes with her as the main character.

A female warrior who sheds blood to protect her comrades in a blockbuster action movie… .

The sight of someone tied up and begging to be released while crying from being kidnapped and imprisoned without knowing English… .

A tragic heroine who struggles with a love that has withered away painfully, but ultimately holds back her tears… .

A look that everyone wants to see.

All the images I want to make into a video.

All the scenes featuring Chae Seo-yoon as the main character flashed vividly through my head like sketches of brief moments.

Each and every scene is so vivid and clear,

I asked that question in my head without realizing it.

‘Future app. Are you playing this right now?’

【No. These are images that come to mind in Cha Do-young’s visual center.】

‘These… I thought of them?’

It’s dizzyingly clear.

Even if the concentration becomes just a little bit darker, it is enough to make you think you are seeing it with your own eyes.

【During the process of using it, my brain’s visual information processing ability developed.】

【This is a change that occurs naturally during the use of Premium Cut.】

The more you use a tool, the more you advance as a user.

【Yes.】

It’ll get easier to click in the future.

Later, you can cut the results of 1 minute of nagging into 5 seconds?

【It is a desirable and positive mindset.】

‘Is this how movies are made in the 30th century?’

【Of course. You can create any landscape you want with just your imagination. Premium Cut is the tool app for that.】

“I’ve seen it all.”

Chae Seo-yoon looks back on the day.

I still have my sketchbook in my hand, open to the last page.

The fact that it wasn’t covered up even after seeing everything is probably a good sign.

“You have the skills to be an animation director, so why are you working in celebrity management?”

Interest in me sparkles in his eyes.

When I met her in the lobby on her first day at work, she didn’t even acknowledge my presence.

When we met again in the elevator, there was no need to ask for the name of the passing employee.

Now, my presence has planted a seed in Chae Seo-yoon’s awareness.

“You’re not the type of person who would be a manager. Oh, I’m not trying to look down on the manager job. Please don’t misunderstand, Director Oppa and Team Leader. ”

“Seo Yoon-ah, I’ll explain it to you.”

Team leader Jo Woon-seok looked at me with complicated eyes for a moment and then stepped forward.

“She was originally hired as a general worker in the General Affairs Department, but Hyejin’s script sketching skills were extraordinary, so I put her in charge of the camera. Strictly speaking, she’s not a manager. ”

“Team Leader Jo, did you do that because you were thinking of the drama production department that makes things happen?”

“Yeah. Right.”

“That’s the CEO’s greed. Is the entertainment company producing its own dramas?”

“You know, what the CEO ultimately wants is to establish a drama production company.”

Chae Seo-yoon shrugged her shoulders and this time started flipping through the sketchbook from the back.

Only after finishing the reverse driving do I close the sketchbook and put it aside.

“Are you familiar with the 30THC channel?”

“Yes, somehow.”

“But why did you come to our company’s general affairs department? I was just curious.”

In times like these, a somewhat flimsy excuse is better than a flawless one.

“I wanted to buy a camera because I was interested in video production, but I didn’t have money. I got a part-time job at 30THC Mad Movie through a friend’s network.”

Chae Seo-yoon suddenly turned her gaze to Director Kim Kyung-wook and Team 3 Leader Jo Woon-seok.

“Would you two please go back? I want to talk to this person alone.”

“That’s… .”

“What could possibly happen? For someone who loves visual art so much?”

The two returned without saying a word.

Each of you leave a word for me.

“Mad Movie, I was really impressed. I’m surprised that you’re a storyboard writer.”

These were the words of Team 1 Director Kim Kyung-wook.

“If you had told me earlier, I would have gotten you a better camera instead of that cheap one. It’s a shame, but I’ll be satisfied with it for now, Director Cha.”

These were the words of Team Leader Jo Woon-seok.

I feel a bit nervous because the two of us are meeting in this big house.

If Chae Seo-yoon’s male fans in Korea, Japan, China, Asia, and even all over the world knew, they might try to hang on to me.

Chae Seo-yoon looks at me with her arms crossed.

I suddenly feel uneasy, wondering what he was trying to say when he asked me to meet him.

“I have a fear of water.”

He came in without blinking and I was momentarily taken aback.

“The bathtub is fine. The stream should be just deep enough to cover your knees. It should be very transparent so that you can see the bottom. Otherwise, you’ll tremble and have a seizure.”

“… .”

“How can you take underwater photos in this place?”

“Ah… All of this can be done with CG without needing to add a single drop of water.”

“Like making a dead actor in Hollywood appear with 100% CG?”

Chae Seo-yoon laughs mockingly.

“It’s pretty much true. If you don’t really look into it, it seems like it was actually performed by an actor. But you know what that means to an actor, right? ”

I thought his expression would be cold, but he’s more indifferent than I thought.

I know what Chae Seo-yoon is saying.

What does it mean to an actor when his acting is not his own but is created through CG by lending his portrait rights?

According to the production ethics of the future app, permission must be obtained to create a scene of a living actor from scratch.

Even in the seemingly bleak 30th century, the artist’s pride is valued.

“That’s not my acting. It’s the acting I don’t want to show to my fans. And it’s not the acting my fans want to see.”

“… .”

“The fans want to see Na Chae-seo-yoon’s acting, whether good or bad. There’s a difference between putting CG on me and making me into CG from scratch.”

Chae Seo-yoon’s mindset has been confirmed.

In any case, I, as an actor, will not allow any modeling of myself that is 100% CG and not my own acting.

It’s a little bit easy.

If you want to make Chae Seo-yoon a regular cast member later on, you have to grab the camera at least once.

At most, I can only work on one or two a year.

“But not getting a single drop of water on it doesn’t mean that actress Seo Yoon-ah’s acting is not needed at all.”

“Is that so?”

“You don’t need to get wet, just stand in the studio and act.”

“… What about things like hair, clothes, and skin texture?”

“We, or rather the CG company, will take care of that.”

“… I guess your schedule is tight? Is it possible to do it in 2 months?”

“It is possible.”

“… .”

What I just said is not impossible with current technology.

The best CG company in Hollywood can easily make it.

However, Hollywood needs to hire high-level personnel for more than a year just to make a single 30-second video.

I can finish it with a 1 second edit cut.

“… Okay. I’ll do it.”

“There is no turning back, is there?”

“I’ve never done that before. I said I wouldn’t do it from the beginning, but my boss forced me to do it. I feel sorry too. I should have been more specific. ”

“If you had dug it up clearly, this wouldn’t have happened, so I would be grateful.”

Without realizing it, I took out my phone and sent a text message to Team Leader Jo Woon-seok saying, ‘CFOK.’

“Give me your phone.”

“Huh? Oh, I wasn’t contacting the team leader at all, but my mother asked if I had dinner… .”

“Who said what? I’m going to give you my number.”

Chae Seo-yoon took it back as if she had stolen it, called my phone from hers, and then gave it back to me.

I accidentally exchanged phone numbers.

“You can go now.”

“Ah, over there… .”

“What else?”

“What did you think of the Mad Movie CF and the Polar Bear Spaceship video?”

When I was making it, it was convenient, fun, and amazing to just click it.

That was all.

But as time passed, I started to develop a huge interest and became secretly curious.

I wonder what Chae Seo-yoon thinks.

I really want to hear that answer.

If possible, I hope it’s very positive.

“Did the CG company tell you to definitely ask?”

“Yes, the head of graphics is a huge fan of Chae Seo-yoon. That’s why we decided to make the channel’s first mad movie a parody of Chae Seo-yoon’s CF. Anyway, I told him to definitely ask me when I go to negotiate today… .”

I’m not a huge fan, just a casual fan of a few works.

When asked about the heroine’s thoughts on ‘My Creation Anyway’, I thought it would be okay to tell a white lie like this?

There is a strange sense of defensiveness in Seo-yoon’s arms crossed.

“He said he’d tell me later. With a signature.”

***

Damn, I ended up failing to get down on my knees and listen to the compliment.

What I was hoping for was a rave review like, ‘That was really awesome. I want to use you exclusively for CG in every production I appear in from now on.’

[I] am leaving now

[Team Leader Jo Woon-seok] This is our underground parking lot.

I thought you were gone, but you were waiting?

We took the elevator to the underground parking lot and joined in.

“It ended earlier than I thought. I was prepared to stay up all night.”

“Once Seo Yoon gets hooked on something, she becomes obsessed with it.”

You’re saying you didn’t go and waited when you didn’t know when it would end?

Director Kim Kyung-wook’s expression is urgent.

“One time? Really one time?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

Director Kim Kyung-wook clenched his fists and cheered like a child, then started tapping away at his phone.

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok looks at me with pleased eyes.

“Doyoung, if you had that kind of career, you should have told me sooner.”

“I’m not the type of person to just start talking about my story, so that’s how it turned out.”

“This time, Weiss Kids are filming a short fan communication video? It’s a short video that can be cut down to under 10 minutes, and the script is roughly out. They’re probably going to make it with a web drama feel. ”

I think I’ll ask for a video storyboard.

I should be willing to talk about that. There’s absolutely no reason to miss out on something this fun.

“Do you want to take on the role once, thinking of it as PD practice?”

“Yes? PD?”

“Yeah, practice, practice. Isn’t it fun?”
