“My manager drew this for me, PD-nim.”

“Manager?”

“Yes, that person over there.”

PD Son followed Hwang Hye-jin’s hand and turned his gaze.

A large manager carrying a camera worth over a hundred million won, including lenses and other accessories.

‘They say you look like you’d be good at shooting all night long.’

The manager who particularly caught my eye from the first day of the script reading.

I thought he was a career staff member who had changed jobs because of his unique physique and camera.

You’re Hwang Hye-jin’s dedicated manager.

‘What did Pintree expect from Hyejin that they even assigned her to be in charge of the camera?’

This is too harsh a measure for a rookie actress, let alone a girl group.

This is a making-of film. If you ask the production team, they can share it with you.

Alternatively, the manager can film it like a vlog with a suitable camera or phone.

It was the first time that PD Son had seen a manager hand over a professional movie camera like that.

“Manager Cha Do-young drew it for you?”

“Yes.”

“Did that friend graduate from art school?”

“No. I wrote it as a hobby.”

Son PD looked through the sketchbook again from the beginning.

The more I look at it, the more amazed I become.

The drawing style may seem simple, but it clearly understands the concept of the screen.

‘You have a sense of visual beauty. Does this show your talent as a camera director?’

“Hyejin, you did a good job.”

“Yes.”

PD Son returned the sketchbook and slowly approached behind Cha Do-young.

‘You were sketching. What are you drawing?’

Son PD kept his composure and glanced over his shoulder.

His pupils shook violently.

I knew it the moment I saw it.

Winter Castle, Cha Do-young was drawing scenes from the script.

I draw with a cheap Monami ballpoint pen, and the pen touch moves as if it were alive.

Above all, it is so fast that you can’t even see your hands.

Draw one in an instant,

He flips through the sketchbook and then quickly finishes the next page.

‘genius?’

Drawing skills are no longer a problem.

Even the fast and unstoppable speed is secondary to Son PD.

As if the scenery in the script were alive, it came out of the ballpoint pen and was drawn on a white piece of paper.

An image that was vaguely drawn in Son PD’s head.

Through Cha Do-young’s sketches, it changes into a realistic production.

Gain life.

“Did you say Mr. Cha Do-young? Manager Hyejin?”

“Ah, PD-nim.”

Cha Do-young quickly closed his sketchbook and stood up.

PD Son’s eyes glared at the sketchbook as if they were about to drip drool.

“Does the manager at Pintree also coach the actors? Even drawing up the storyboard?”

“Strictly speaking, I’m not a manager.”

“Aren’t you a manager?”

“Yes. Just a dedicated cameraman who takes pictures of Hyejin acting, activities, and her daily life whenever he gets the chance? Something like that.”

“What about the script storyboard sketch?”

“I’m drawing Hyejin because she said it helps her capture her acting image and emotions.”

“I heard you didn’t graduate from an art school.”

“I didn’t learn drawing specifically, I just did it as a hobby.”

“Self-study?Hobby?”

“Yes.”

PD Son’s eyes shook again.

“You really didn’t learn it anywhere? You didn’t even go to an academy?”

“Yes. Oh, I watched a little bit of YouTube.”

“Can I take a look at what you just drew?”

Cha Do-young obediently handed over his sketchbook.

Son PD slowly savored the sketched scenery as if he was exploring a treasure.

After watching it till the end.

“It’s so pretty that you could capture it on camera right away.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“I’m not just saying this. I’m just saying this because I’m really greedy. Can I direct it like this sketch?”

***

I don’t know what those eyes are.

They see me as a genius.

My real drawing skill is at the level where I can draw even a crooked Zolarman.

The sketch that the future app created by ‘clicking’ with my hand is on a level that rivals that of a storyboard artist.

“If you got inspiration from my sketches, I’m honored. Feel free to use them. ”

I quickly handed the sketchbook to PD Son.

PD Son, who received the sketchbook, looks at Hyejin Hwang with a slightly embarrassed look.

Come to think of it, Hwang Hye-jin has put the script aside and is staring at us.

“Oh, thank you. I’ll copy it and return it to you right away. There’s no copy machine here right now, so I’ll do it on-site next time.”

“No, you can just leave it.”

“Isn’t this what Hyejin should show?”

“You can redraw Hyejin’s line again. You can draw it exactly the same way again.”

“… exactly the same? Without following along? ”

“Yes.”

“… Could you show me right now?”

PD Son’s expression is serious.

I opened my new sketchbook.

‘Copy and paste the drawing on page 1 of the sketchbook I just gave to PD Son.’

【Draw an image. Take control of the user’s body for a moment.】

I grabbed a ballpoint pen and started drawing quickly.

A drawing was drawn that was exactly the same as the one on the first page of the sketchbook.

Is this a human copy machine?

“… !”

PD Son’s eyes are trembling violently.

He placed the two sketchbooks side by side and compared them, then looked at me as if he couldn’t believe it.

“No, how can you draw it exactly like this, as if you copied it? You didn’t even draw it by looking at it?”

“Well, it’s a drawing I made?”

“No one can do that. It’s not a copier, and it can’t be done in advance.”

That’s because it was copied correctly.

Son PD is comparing the two pictures over and over again in a very excited state.

Then he asks with an expression of realization.

“By the way, I see, you’re only drawing scenes where Hyejin appears?”

“Because our Hyejin is helping us with our acting practice.”

“Just a moment.”

PD Son took out his script book and started flipping through it,

Which page was pointed to?

“Could you please draw this part now? It’s not the part where Hyejin appears, but I’m asking you this.”

I heard that in dramas, the PD is the king and the writer is the queen.

Our Hwang Hye-jin is a quiet person who has to look good to the king, and I am Hwang Hye-jin’s exclusive person.

“Just a moment.”

He happily drew it on the spot.

A landscape where the future app visualizes the script.

‘Draw it as delicately as possible, paying attention to even the mise-en-scène.’

【I’m doing that. Because it was the PD’s request.】

This kid, does he have any sense?

After some time, a script scene video continuity was created.

Even I can see that it was drawn so well that it made me exclaim, ‘Wow, this was done on the spot with a ballpoint pen?’

“It’s really well drawn. And it’s also really fast. You understood the overall concept and flow of the drama, and created the frame by capturing the most visually striking composition. ”

PD Son kept exclaiming in admiration.

“I asked for a scene to be shot early tomorrow, but it looks like I’ll have to throw away the storyboard and rewrite it like this. Looking at this, I can’t use the storyboard right now.”

“Oh, then wouldn’t it take quite some time?”

“Of course it takes time. You have to throw away not one or two, but dozens of sheets. That’s why… .”

The way Son PD looks at me is unusual.

“Can’t Doyoung do it?”

“Yes? Me?”

“Until this drama ends, I hope you can continue to do the storyboard work.”

“I have never done a drama storyboard before.”

“That’s why it’s even more amazing. It’s a really great talent. It will be a great help in improving the quality of our drama.”

Suddenly, I remembered the that the future app showed me last time.

A comprehensive estimate of the drama production environment and the final result to be aired.

If the result visualized by the future app is 100 points.

The final result created by Son PD did not even reach 10 points.

‘It’s not because PD Son lacks skills. Rather, this person is one of the most skilled people in this field.’

The gap of a thousand years is this terrifying.

A drama that was made by over a hundred people, with over a hundred billion won spent, and with all their might for several months.

It’s far worse than a drama that just looks at the script and ‘clicks’ and pops out in one second.

The only thing that puts the former ahead of the latter is the story.

Because the future app doesn’t accept story creation.

“PD-nim, but Hyejin only appears up to episode 2 and after that… .”

“There is no problem since it appears in flashbacks. We will add more flashback scenes. ”

“Then I need to revise the script. Is that okay?”

As far as I know, this poet really despises having his scripts touched.

But PD Son is confident.

“Wait here.”

“Yes?”

PD Son went somewhere holding a sketchbook.

After a while he came back.

Not alone, but with the poet Lee Si-hyang by my side.

As soon as author Lee Si-hyang saw me, he lightly clapped his hands.

“Is this person?”

“Yes, author. Your creative talent for visualizing the script is amazing, but your ability to translate that into a storyboard is also amazing.”

“Can you show me once?”

So I showed it to the PD and writer again.

Writer Lee Si-hyang personally selected several scenes from the script and requested that they be visualized.

‘This is the writer’s biography. Really work hard and draw.’

【Of course.】

A cool and pretty image, an image that brings out the imagination of the writer in the script.

In an instant, several storyboards were completed.

Writer Lee Si-hyang looked through the sketchbook with a gaze that seemed to lick it.

“What do you think, author?”

“It’s exactly as PD Son said. It’s like it was drawn from my head, or rather, it perfectly portrayed the utopia that I vaguely pursued. This is what true talent is.”

“If Do-young wants to help for a long time, actress Hwang Hye-jin needs to keep appearing on set.”

“It’s not difficult.”

Author Lee Si-hyang snapped his fingers.

“I will increase the number of parts where Ambassador Hwang Hye-jin appears.”

I told him to push hard just in case.

Is this really happening?
