“Chief Cha, do you know why Director Jenny Kim is suddenly laughing like that?”

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok approached and asked.

It wouldn’t be fun if you just gave me the answer right away.

“Well, isn’t it because of the joy of recognizing the wit hidden in the work by the ‘creator’?”

“What are you hiding?”

“That’s something you have to find out directly through the work. What fun would it be if the creator told you everything?”

“But the producer? Why do you call him the producer instead of the writer?”

The painting is mine, but I am not the creator of the painting.

So, it’s a bit odd to call him a writer.

Storyboards I drew, animations I clicked, mad movies, CG, etc…

They are all my property, but they are not my creations.

“I like the expression producer better than writer.”

“Oh. An expression of ambition for the future, something like that?”

Producer, this seems like an expression just for me.

If Mirae App is a director who takes charge of all directing of the work, I am a producer who only exercises ownership rights… .

Irresponsible ownership.

Painless appreciation.

Fruits without effort.

‘Is this how professional content creators create and enjoy content?’

Now that I think about it, it’s a very comfortable role.

anyway.

In a situation where everyone around me misunderstands me as a genius of the world, this is the title that contains my last conscience.

producer.

I have no creative contribution other than nagging that anyone can do.

I am just a creator who happens to own the future app.

“You won’t stop at just being a director? That’s good. Keep up that ambition and become a big producer that even Net Prince and Song Joo Film would bow down to.”

***

Director Jenny Kim and CEO Lim Hae-jin attended the meeting.

The representative was only a symbol of the position, and the meeting itself was hosted by Team Leader Cho Woon-seok.

however….

“Our products featured in the CF were expressed with a natural texture. It is certain that the artist used the products in his daily life and incorporated that experience into his painting style. ”

Director Jenny Kim praised my artwork for a long time.

I don’t know if this is a commercial drama meeting place or the Sotheby’s auction house where I submitted my painting.

Teamind’s Chief of Staff, Seungcheol Lee.

The studio staff he brought with him.

They all held their breath and listened to Jenny Kim’s praise (interpreted).

I feel embarrassed for no reason.

This isn’t the place it was made for.

【The creator cannot fully enjoy the praise due to the language barrier.】

【This is a situation that seriously violates internal ethics.】

What are you talking about in the future app all of a sudden?

【Breaking down the language barrier so that the creator can enjoy the rave reviews he receives without distortion or delay.】

Suddenly, I heard a ringing sound in my ears.

I started to completely understand the English that Jenny Kim was excitedly speaking in.

It’s clearly English, but I understand the meaning naturally, as if I’ve been using it since I was born.

and….

“All those idiots who are just getting involved in art and receiving sponsorship money should be sent to a coal mine so they can just dig for coal!

If that’s the case, I’d leave behind a pretty decent mural before I die, right? ”

“The director highly praised the painting, saying that he saw the essence of modern art in it. He lamented that such works need a big sponsor.”

“Is that a rat mustang? There was an artist who lived off of rat poison in a corner of Paris, and after seeing the results of his 50 million dollar work, I really wanted to cut off all of his fingers so he would never be able to act like an artist again… .”

Is this the price of taking the red pill?

I realized that there was a much bigger gap between Jenny Kim’s speech and the interpreter’s delivery than I had expected.

“Before I leave Korea, I really want to meet the artist who created that masterpiece. I have something important to tell you.”

“Then you can say it here.”

Director Jenny Kim smiled softly at Team Leader Jo Woon-seok’s words.

“This is a really important story. I want to talk to you in person.”

“The author has actually been here for a while now.”

Jo Yun-seok pointed at me.

Jenny Kim’s eyes, which followed my finger, grew wide as if they were about to dislocate.

He covers his mouth with both hands, trembles, and shows a violent reaction as if he is about to sob with his whole body.

“Oh, my goodness. You’re the one I saw at the last meeting… You have that kind of talent, so you’re close to 30THC… Oh, I see! 30THC is your sponsor, right? ”

Jenny Kim jumped up and came towards me.

When I asked for a handshake and took his hand, he wrapped both his arms tightly around me and made eye contact.

“I was deeply moved by the exquisite balance of these three desires: pride as an artist, respect for patrons, and merciless performance for the public.”

“Thank you. You understand my intentions.”

Was there something like that?

But I said it was the interpretation rather than the dream.

“I have something I want to tell you quietly about the work. Please contact me anytime.”

Jenny Kim handed me a special-looking business card.

I didn’t get to see anything like this at our last meeting.

I can feel the people in the company below the CEO looking at me with admiration.

This feels strange, but it feels good.

‘All I did was choose one of the 981 logo types suggested by the future app. I feel embarrassed because I am being treated like a master artist.’

【The results I create are naturally the creation and property of the creator who owns them. This will be the case in the future.】

What kind of place is the 30th century, overflowing with such awesome, versatile video production apps?

Wait, come to think of it?

‘You’ve been calling me a producer since a while ago?’

【My role is to respect and follow the identity that Cha Do-young has chosen for himself.】

I think it’ll be a little touching.

This guy knows how to make comments.

Director Jenny Kim, who could be called the owner of this place, returned to her seat.

The time of rave reviews for has finally come to an end.

Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like only I feel a subtle sense of regret.

Everyone is secretly happy that we have finally gotten to the main topic.

“Joining as a partnership with domestic OTT platform Timind.”

“Like.”

“The studio infrastructure owned by Timind is also included. The production situation is without any problems.”

“Like.”

“And also… .”

No matter what Team Leader Jo Woon-seok said, Director Jenny Kim just kept repeating, “Yes.” with a smile on her face.

The heads of Ji Seung-cheol and Chinsong Joo Film, who had been very nervous about the name Na ○ Ki-ran, also began to smile.

I spoke quietly to Director Kim Kyung-wook next to me.

“Everyone must have been really nervous.”

“Because it’s a meeting that even the ○○ki headquarters director participated in. I guess everyone is feeling like a colonel attending the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting hosted by the president?”

“I’m glad that Director Jenny Kim is such a pure and refreshing person.”

“… .”

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Chief Cha, Director Jenny Kim… No, no. Let’s pretend I didn’t hear that.”

I think I know what was left out.

Of course, there must be a cold side to Jenny Kim that I don’t know about.

But not just anyone can become an executive at the headquarters of a multinational corporation, right?

A little coldness is to be expected.

“… Director Cha, how can you pass it off so easily? Director Jenny Kim… No, no. She’s always like an angel in front of Director Cha, well… .”

The meeting is nearing its end.

Because from the beginning, it was a formality to report to Na○ki, ‘We are ready to this extent.’

There is no way the meeting will be delayed unless Jenny Kim shouts ‘No’.

“A script contest? Isn’t that just a waste of time?”

It was just a normal ‘opinion statement’.

The smile did not fade, nor did the tone of his voice rise or fall.

Even if you substituted the phrase, ‘The weather is really nice today, isn’t it?’, it wouldn’t feel awkward at all.

But the friendly atmosphere froze in an instant.

‘Is this ○ki?’

I just gave my opinion, but people’s faces changed so much?

Wow. This is power.

“The journey to draw the original last eye may seem like a waste of time.”

As soon as I said that, Jenny Kim’s smile disappeared.

Look at me carefully. Did you feel uncomfortable?

Considering the intense favorability shown earlier, I thought this would be okay.

“Whether we get a good script or fail, the fact that we didn’t hesitate to try various things will focus positive attention on this work. After all, we’re making an ‘advertising drama’, right?”

Jenny Kim smiled brightly again.

“That’s a very correct opinion. That’s right. I forgot for a moment that it was a commercial drama. It must have been because the mermaid and sneakers CF showed off such unique artistic quality. ”

“I understand. When I work, there are often moments when I forget why I picked up a pencil in the first place.”

“That space of forgetfulness… .”

“It brings better results.”

I can guess what Jenny Kim would like to say.

The important thing is confidence.

If you have confidence in your heart and keep talking plausibly, you can easily commit fraud.

“From today onwards, I will not interfere in any way until the results come out. I will just wait quietly and silently.”

A great sense of liberation appeared on the faces of Chief Ji Seung-cheol and the people at Song Joo Film.

Jenny Kim finally showed the true value of the name Na○ki.

I also found it fascinating when I saw it.

After exchanging greetings with several people including Jenny Kim.

I sneaked out to a quiet place, and Team Leader Jo Woon-seok followed me.

“I survived thanks to the car manager.”

“It’s nothing special, but it seems like everyone is having a hard time answering, so I’m going to step in a bit.”

“It’s not a big deal. If you answer wrongly there, you’ll go to hell, but in front of our Archangel Cha Do-young, even the gatekeeper of hell turns into a well-behaved Welsh Corgi.”

“Is Director Jenny Kim that scary?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t heard of any companies in Korea working together. But the rumors I heard from Japan… Oh my, I can’t even say anything.”

I don’t know, but you’re so nervous about one word.

I guess Na○ki is quite a bully because he earns a lot of money.

“Going beyond a totem that banishes misfortune and brings good luck, now it even makes advertisers bow down to it?”

“How much money have I spent on Na○ki so far? If you keep your mind calm as a consumer, there is absolutely nothing to be discouraged about.”

We had a light discussion about producing a commercial drama.

Now all that needs to be done is prepare the scenario and the director.

In fact, there are many people from Chin Song Joo Film who want to take on the directorial position.

Since this is such a large project, we plan to proceed with it meticulously and step by step this time.

“This is the personal business card that Director Jenny Kim gave me.”

“What story do you think he was trying to tell? Do you have any questions?”

“Well, it’s probably not a scouting offer. Maybe they’re trying to get me to sponsor or do a commission later?”

“Sponsorship, request… .”

“Maybe I want to buy the mermaid and sneakers picture from the Na○ki dimension. It’s valuable for the company to keep.”

Suddenly, Chae Seo-yoon came to mind.

He said 10 billion while smiling nonchalantly.

“Would Na○ki be willing to pay more than 10 billion for that? I don’t think so.”

“Why, I’ll sell it for 10 billion?”

“You have to sell it. Isn’t that obvious?”

“You know you have to give Seo Yoon a chance, right?”

“Isn’t that a joke? Even if Seo Yoon has a lot of money, I don’t think she’d buy it for 10 billion won… .”

It’s an amount that doesn’t seem real, so I end up putting it in my mouth too easily.

[Sender: Hyejin’s mother]

“Just a moment. Hyejin’s mother is on the phone.”

“Okay, take it easy.”

Jo Yun-seok has returned.

I quickly answered the phone.

“Yes, mother. This is Director Cha Do-young.”

-Excuse me, is it okay if I talk to you?

“Oh, then. Go ahead.”

Hyejin’s mother is always calm, polite, and respectful when dealing with people at work.

But today, the voice is a lot more cautious.

-Is Hyejin having a hard time these days because of filming the drama?

“Yes?”

-Your face hasn’t been looking good lately, and you haven’t talked much about the field. So I was wondering what was going on…

How could that be?

You had a really bright face when I picked you up this morning.

“Mom, did you say these days?”

-Yes, it’s been a few days.

That’s strange. What happened at the scene?

But why didn’t you tell me?
