Of course, the CF will be released as scheduled.

What Na○ki wants is additional production of a brand marketing film based on the CF.

“Marketing movie? Is there something different about it?”

“It’s very different. From the starting point of regular movies. Hmm… Did you know that toy companies also invest in animation production?”

“Toy companies make animations? Why… Oh, is it a toy advertisement? ”

“That’s right. We make animations at the same time as developing products. We air them on TV to stimulate children’s desire for ownership. Then, what happens when we release them?”

“The kids will be begging you to buy them from the toy corner of the mart… .”

“And why only make TV versions? No. After some time, they will release a theater version and gather more kids. Then they will show the theater-only model again. ”

“They are so kind that they even provide additional content.”

“Since you came to see the movie, why don’t you kindly display the additional companion toys? Don’t you buy them and just ignore them?”

This is truly a tongue-in-cheek trick.

“The toy company is so evil?”

“They are the most evil. They are robbers who take children hostage and empty their parents’ wallets.”

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok’s experience is so realistic that it’s almost suspicious.

“Anyway, there is nothing left from the animation production itself. Rather, it is a loss. But more than that, toy sales increase, ”

“Structure where damages are offset?”

“To be exact, animation production is an advertising budget execution to sell toys. It’s a promotional investment.”

“I get it. So Na○ki is going to do that too right now? ”

“Na○ki spends from tens of trillions to tens of trillions of won a year on advertising. Making a single movie is not even a job.”

Team leader Jo Woon-seok suddenly took my camera backpack.

“Can I come in?”

“Chief Cha needs to prepare for the meeting. Na○ki is coming to the company now.”

I expected there would be a strong reaction after seeing the awesome CG of the future app.

Because the more you know, the better you see.

“We will invest 300 million dollars in total production cost.”

I almost coughed.

It was really unexpected.

This isn’t a violent reaction.

300 million dollars? Then 420 billion won?

“A worldview based on this CF concept is fine. You must participate as a CG general manager in the pre-cutter.”

Is the interpretation done correctly now?

Director Jenny Kim is so excited that she is still talking nonstop.

In comparison, the white skinhead man who was the interpreter only delivered short, one-liners at a time.

“The lead actor should of course be Chae Seo-yoon. All Nike products will be introduced in the movie. These are our conditions.”

Which film investor would shell out $300 million and offer such simple terms?

It must be possible because it’s a movie made by the Sports Emperor to promote sales.

I don’t have even the slightest intention of making money by showing movies.

For them, the movie is just an upgraded version of the commercial they produced this time.

First, let me summarize the CF in one line… .

‘A CF where a beautiful mermaid finds Nike sneakers on the ocean floor, is chased by a giant deep-sea fish, escapes to land, puts on sneakers, goes jogging on a sandy beach, gets on a surfboard, goes all the way to the horizon, jumps into a giant lake under an ocean waterfall, puts on sandals, and floats away, highlighting the Nike logo on the surfboard.’

How do you make this into a movie?

Who wrote the scenario?

【The minimum story presentation is sufficient.】

【You must create the character’s dialogue.】

Future apps will create videos in a matter of seconds if you provide a basic concept.

However, he does not create the character’s dialogue.

So, I bought the script and made .

If I may add, it’s not that they can’t do it, it’s that they just haven’t done it ‘yet’.

【Automatic scenario function needs to be unlocked.】

There is no particular reason for blocking it.

They say it’s because they’re worried that if they start from scratch, users will lose interest in creating video content.

But, since we live in a world overflowing with scenarios that are just rotting away, waiting to be produced, there is no problem.

There are currently tens of thousands of scenario submissions on the 30THC channel asking for this to be considered for animation production.

“Then, does that mean that Na○ki is not involved in the screenplay or adaptation?”

“Of course.”

Ofcourse, he was going to say something really long next time, but the interpreter cut it all off.

“Just a scenario where I can feature as many Nike products as possible. I’ll leave it all up to Finetree and Precutter.”

“Thank you for your good suggestion. We will review it positively.”

“I will definitely wait for good results.”

The people related to Na○ki are returning.

An emergency meeting of the three teams was held immediately.

It’s a project worth a whopping 420 billion won.

***

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok took his gaze off the monitor.

“I checked the official document sent by 30THC. It says that the agency sales will be entrusted to the car sales manager.”

“I don’t think it will be against the company rules to have a second job, right?”

“It won’t work, it won’t work. Our industry itself is free-for-all, so what? ”

As the size grew so much, I needed to officially replace 30THC.

So I sent a formal letter to Pintree from 30THC granting me agency rights.

This clears up the permission issue.

“Okay, everyone. Our CEO Cha Do-young has asked about a mega-project worth 300 million dollars in less than two months since joining the company. Applause! ”

Clap clap clap!

The three team members looked at me with different gazes and applauded me vigorously, but I felt awkward for no reason.

Our Hyejin especially likes to see road manager Byungwook.

“I knew it from the moment I joined the company when I brought back the music video.”

“The general affairs department said the same thing. Why did someone like this join our general affairs department? ”

“You deserve to get promoted very quickly. You’re really amazing.”

It was a little difficult to keep the corners of my mouth from dancing.

I’m human too, so in a situation like this, I feel like I’m being stabbed in the shoulder.

As soon as the meeting started,

“After all, it’s just a 120-minute commercial. It won’t do much for an actor’s career.”

Who set the mood from the beginning?

But the other team members all took it for granted.

I thought it was just me who was being absurd, but after hearing the story, it made sense.

“This movie was bound to be a loss from the planning stage, and it won’t be good for Chae Seo-yoon’s career.”

“I wonder if they would give him around 10 billion won in appearance fees, it would be too damaging to his image as an actor.”

“We are not a distributor, and we cannot handle film production.”

“But if we bring in a major distributor, it feels like we’re giving away a $300 million project, so I feel bad.”

“How about making an OTT drama as Plan B instead?”

“Oh, I like that better. The company is also currently working on a drama production project.”

“But I’m currently focused on making a movie. Is that okay?”

“But it’s not a size we can handle anyway. If you try to force yourself to eat this, you’ll get a stomachache, or your stomach might explode and you might die.”

Real actors must obtain consent to use their portrait rights in order to create CG that looks like they actually acted.

As long as there is a script, clicking itself is not a problem.

However, team members do not know about the existence of the Ttaktak app.

Their assessment that our company is not capable of handling a $300 million film production is very ‘objective’.

Amidst various opinions, the plan was narrowed down to two options.

Plan A. Attract a major distributor and produce the film. Our company will focus on project management.

Plan B. We produce OTT dramas ourselves. In this case, our profits are maximized.

However, an additional problem arises where I have to convince Na○ki.

“Which one is the car manager on?”

“I’m more drawn to movies, but if it’s too big for our company to handle on its own, there’s nothing we can do.”

“How about just minimizing the on-location shooting and filming everything in front of the green board and then using CG?”

“Isn’t it so good?”

“Then how much should we give to 30THC? Isn’t $250 million out of $300 million going to CG costs?”

I would like to say that I will do the CG at the lowest cost possible.

It’s a secret that I own 30THC.

Volunteering out of fandom should be done in moderation, so as not to be looked at as something strange.

Unless you’re going to release a future app.

You have to move according to common sense.

“Then, Director Cha, I will report to the CEO and come back. Director Cha, meet Seo Yoon.”

“Me? Seo Yoon?”

“Why? Shouldn’t we also confirm the artist’s intention to appear?”

“You can ask through Director Kim Kyung-wook.”

“In this case, a person with authority should go and persuade them directly to get a more positive answer.”

“Okay, I’ll go and come back.”

It’s a good thing I got your phone number.

Is Chae Seo-yoon at home now?

As I was packing my camera backpack out of habit, Team Leader Jo Woon-seok suddenly burst into laughter.

I was embarrassed by the laughter that burst out for no reason, but my teammates were laughing as if they understood why.

When he finally stopped laughing, I asked.

“What do you find so funny?”

“The great sports emperor Na○ki is now offering 300 million dollars to a small Korean entertainment company that I didn’t even know existed, and asking them to please make a promotional film. How can you not laugh?”

Other team members also laughed and added their own comments.

“Anyway, I’m ○○ki.”

“Untouchable absolute armor.”

“If this becomes official, everyone will think that our company is trying to manipulate stock prices.”

Everyone is very excited.

I understand in my head why he’s so excited, but my heart doesn’t feel the thrill.

“Chief Cha doesn’t seem to be very excited?”

“I guess it’s because I’ve been stepping on the ○ key for too long.”

I’m wearing the shoes from that company that I’ve been wearing for three years now.

***

“I don’t want to appear.”

Chae Seo-yoon shook her head as soon as she heard my story.

“The main character in that movie is not me, but the sports shoes made at the Na○ki factory.”
