The Chae Seo-yoon Na ○ Key CF was originally handled by Management Team 1.

It’s natural since the actor belongs to Team 1.

But will the CF really come to us?

“1 Team agreed. They asked us to take charge of this CF from now on.”

“You’ve managed to get a difficult concession.”

“It wasn’t that difficult. Team Leader 1 also had high expectations for this CF. It’s not like anywhere else, but the advertiser is ○○. ”

Na○ki, the emperor of sports brands.

This is also a very important number for Hallyu star Chae Seo-yoon.

This is an opportunity to instantly establish a world-class image.

“More than anything, Team Leader 1 also fell in love with the underwater scene video that Director Cha shot and that Director Cha’s friend’s company processed with CG.”

“The video is a bit weird.”

“I also really liked that video. It seems like the Hollywood CG industry would come to you with a lot of money and ask you to teach them how to do Hansoo. Right?”

“Well, I think so too.”

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok also shared his thoughts on the animation that was uploaded on the 30THC channel.

“It’s true that the scenario is grand and heart-pounding. But the CG really brought the scenario to life. If the CG had been even a little bit sloppy, it would have been a mediocre work with a good scenario and poor visual direction. ”

All I did was buy the scenario and nag Mirae App to make it quickly.

But when I hear such praise, happy hormones are released.

“But isn’t there a separate side story for the Green Star Journey?”

“Side story?”

“Yeah, it’s a 6-part series of 20 minutes each, right? It would be nice if there was a movie version with a running time of over 120 minutes.”

It’s something I never thought about, but it catches my attention.

Because it’s a movie… .

“If the theatrical version is only available to members, it will help generate revenue in the long run. Looking at it, it seems like 30THC really has no interest in generating revenue. I’m worried about whether business will be successful.”

It felt awkward for no reason.

“I heard that they are planning to upload a lot of subscriber-only content in the future.”

“Really? That’s good. CG companies like 30THC should do well and not have their finances worsen. ”

Okay, I guess I should try making a theatrical version.

Since I own the animation copyright, you can create side stories as you like.

Of course, I’m terrible at creating stories.

But, you can roughly order something like, ‘Make a movie that is serious but also lighthearted and full of excitement with the main character doing this and that and the plot developing like this.’

‘But that’s too trivial. Should I ask the original author for a side story scenario?’

【This is a very desirable attitude for a producer.】

【One model slot is given.】

I guessed the right answer.

‘If you ask the future app to do everything from one to ten, it will click, but it doesn’t give additional rewards like model slots. If you put in effort in something that you can do yourself, it will give you additional rewards.’

【Congratulations on your self-realization.】

【The worst outcome for a production company is when users feel bored with video production and stop using the app.】

I said that at the beginning too.

But I understand.

Even when playing games, if you play with unlimited editors, you’ll get bored quickly.

‘But I like automatic hunting better.’

I met Director Kim Sung-jin, who was the former head of CF, at the hotel that was decided as the meeting place for Na○ki.

Contrary to expectations, it was very cool.

“Actually, at first I thought about entrusting the CG of other parts besides the underwater scene to 30THC to raise the overall quality. But while filming, I thought that this wasn’t it.”

While I was wavering, I made a bold decision after seeing the underwater scene CG, and Director Kim Sung-jin also made a decision.

Team leader Jo Woon-seok spoke politely to director Kim Seong-jin.

“It may be unpleasant, but I am glad you are willing to tolerate it. I look forward to working with you in the future.”

“Please take care of me too.”

Director Kim Sung-jin changed his position from general director to cinematographer.

The overall direction is from our 3rd team, and the CG is from my 30THC channel.

The fusion was achieved without anyone blushing.

Finally, the Na○ki advertiser has arrived.

There are two people.

A slim and delicate Korean woman who appears to be about 165cm tall.

And a big, skinhead white guy.

‘That guy is the marketing director of Na○ki.’

He’s not as big as me, but he’s objectively big.

He has the physique to be a bodyguard.

We stood up from our seats and said hello.

“Nice to meet you. I am Team Leader Jo Woon-seok of Pintree Entertainment Team 3.”

“Team 3 Cha Do-young, the team leader.”

The bald white man nodded.

Even if you don’t know Korean, you can probably tell that we introduced ourselves… .

“Boss,hesaid… .”

what?

“The director said that he felt a thrill as if his whole soul was shaking when he saw the underwater part. And also… .”

What is this? Your Korean pronunciation is so native that it’s suspicious.

How does a blue-eyed skinhead white man speak so fluently?

“The end, impression, it was great.”

“You just said that you were really impressed, oh, I guess you understood that too.”

Wasn’t the interpreter a woman who looked so Korean that a white man could mistake her for a Korean?

“Director Jenny Kim is a second-generation Korean-American. She can speak basic Korean, but will only speak English to ensure a smooth meeting.”

Are you a real Korean, or rather a second-generation Korean American?

***

Jenny Kim, the advertiser who came to the meeting representing Na○ki, talked for an entire hour about how impressed she was with the underwater part.

Excluding the interpretation time, it would be a 30-minute speech.

I was so bored I thought I was going crazy, but I desperately held back and didn’t show it.

On the other hand, Team Leader Jo Woon-seok and Director Kim Sung-jin were seriously paying close attention to Jenny Kim’s gaze, speech, and interpretation.

Jenny Kim expressed great regret at being told that she could not meet the CG staff.

I explained that part well.

“These are people who think that it is more important to stay in the studio and work on more CGs than to go out for meetings.”

I immediately agreed with that statement.

“If you go to the official YouTube channel here, you will be able to see how great the CG company’s skills are.”

While I was at it, I also promoted my 30THC channel.

“The company will accept that price.”

“You ask if I can guarantee it.”

“Yes, I was given full control over that part.”

Jenny Kim looks at me in surprise at those words.

“What does this have to do with 30THC?”

“A close friend of mine works there. He asked me to be his sales agent for this CF.”

The meeting was over, and Jenny Kim stood up, looking very satisfied.

As soon as we were alone, Team Leader Jo Woon-seok spoke.

“I thought you were an interpreter, but you were an advertiser.”

“You had the same thoughts as me.”

“Anyway, it seems like he really likes Na○ki. He’s known for being extremely picky when negotiating contracts, but seeing him make such a cool decision.”

I definitely drove straight to the goal line without even pressing the brakes once.

Director Kim Sung-jin shrugged his shoulders.

“I know that even in ○○ki, that underwater CG, even in Hollywood, you can never make it in that amount of time with that amount of money. ”

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok reported to Team 1 Leader Park Se-jin over the phone that the conversation had ended well.

This is something that has been passed on to us, but since Chae Seo-yoon is a member of Team 1, we must inform her of the progress.

“Team Leader 1 burst into laughter after hearing the story?”

“Why?”

“1 Team introduced a friend who used to be so picky and mean to the Korean company, asking if the estimate was right, but now they’ve become like well-behaved puppies.”

Director Kim Sung-jin also chuckled from the side.

“You said you fell in love with the underwater part rough CG? You were even turned inside out when you heard that it wasn’t even a finished product and that it was applied in real time. You two should have seen that too.”

A revised CF concept has arrived from Na○ki.

[A mermaid runs to the end of the beach, changes into a surf suit, and surfs across the waves.

Sneakers naturally transform into surfboards.

A pod of dolphins swim together on one side and a woman watches them and laughs.

A woman jumps down a waterfall into the ocean where the horizon ends… .]

I had a hard time understanding this part, so I asked director Kim Sung-jin.

“Are you asking me to create a scene where the ocean changes into a waterfall like the flat Earth theory?”

“I also found it strange, so I asked and it’s true.”

I wonder if there’s a rumor going around that there’s a flat-Earth believer in the Na○ki management.

[A woman lands where a vast ocean waterfall falls.

I put down my surfboard with a big logo on it on the lakeside and change into sandals.

[The back of the woman walking away is highlighted as the Na○ki logo on the surfing board fills the screen.]

“Wow, you really got greedy for CG.”

“The video length is shorter than the draft, but the video scale has increased beyond comparison.”

The sea was part of the CF theme, but they changed it to the central theme of the entire film.

A concept that makes you feel the greed of ‘going all in on CG!’

But I like it.

Anyway, the CG cost is 50 million won per second.

I’ll click on a video scale that’s so good that you won’t regret spending that much money, or even feel guilty that you didn’t spend too little.

“Nice to see you again.”

“How have you been?”

I bowed my head at Chae Seo-yoon’s dry greeting.

She listened to the explanation from director Kim Seong-jin, who was in charge of photography, while reading the concept.

“As a result, Chae Seo-yoon’s filming fatigue was greatly reduced.”

“For the scene where you ride a surfboard and catch a wave, do you just have to stand still and keep your posture?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

While reading the concept and explanation, Chae Seo-yoon tilted her head here and there, as if images were coming to mind.

Then he looks back at me.

“Director Cha, do you have a storyboard drawn up by any chance?”

“Ah, this time the acting guidance was simple with the explanation, so I didn’t bother sketching the storyboard.”

“I see.”

Chae Seo-yoon looks back at the concept as if she understands.

There’s something slightly strange about the expression on his face.

“Is it because it’s a CF and not a drama?”

Chae Seo-yoon’s monologue sounded precarious.

Was that woman expecting a storyboard?

“It’s a bit disappointing… .”

This time, even the ending of the words sounded a little clearer.
