Chapter 490 – #73. Unol (3)
PD-nim, who caught the idea that I had an idea, said.
“Uh… Have you already come up with a concept?”
“I’m going to have to think about it some more, but I’m starting to think it would be nice to do it this way.”
“Are you a bit embarrassed right now? You’ve probably come up with some concepts. There’s no way I’m going to head it to the bare ground.”
“Then show me that too. I will refer to it as an idea.”
“Haha.”
The writer-nim glanced at PD-nim and held out his laptop to me.
“You’ve done all the research very meticulously.”
“Like Yuna unnie said, you can’t head someone who doesn’t know anything into the ground. For your reference, I have recruited a good-looking music video UTV address and an incumbent music video director. I can draw a rough sketch with his help.”
The production team showed a very active attitude, saying that they would try to recruit the camera director, who is the most important for music video production, as much as possible.
“Uh? Then can I call the cinematographer for our music video?”
He’s been in charge since our debut, so he’ll probably be able to give us time if we ask him to do it.
When I said it just in case, PD-nim’s face turned white and he said it urgently.
“… Can’t be too expensive. We also have an amount to donate.”
“Oh, it is expensive. Because you are such a good person.”
Rumors spread in the industry that he was the camera director for our music video, and there were a lot of people who wanted to take him.
In order to receive unscheduled help from such a person, it was a law to take care of the level of compensation appropriate to the industry.
“Personally, the camera director we know is also really good…”
I had no choice but to answer PD-nim’s earnest request.
But couldn’t I say that I would call him with my personal funds?
There are times in life when you have to compromise, and now was the moment.
“Hmm… How much will the production cost be?”
The cost of producing one idol music video varies greatly.
The quality of a music video depends on how much money you spend.
When I looked at PD-nim with bright eyes, I anxiously averted my gaze and said,
“You have to earn production costs directly through the game.”
“No, preparing 100 million won to donate and then picking up production costs ourselves? That’s too much!”
“If you play well, you can earn a lot of capital. Could it be better?”
“How much is the maximum?”
“1 million!”
“1 million?! If you can win 100 million, it’s really great, but… Where did you guys really get your money from?”
“There are a lot of sponsorships coming in. Instead, you need to do some good sponsored advertising.”
“That’s about it, you can do anything! What about the minimum?”
Up to 100 million.
It has to be good, but it’s only good when you can win it, and the minimum was the most important.
That means you need to be prepared for the worst.
“First of all, the basic amount provided is 1,000. In addition, they make additional money through games.”
“Ay! Unbelievable, 1,000! Too salty! I’m going to pay for the staff hire!”
“The cost of labor, food and equipment rental will be covered by us.”
“Ah, is it?”
If that’s the case, it doesn’t make sense.
Moreover, it is said that you can receive more production costs through the game.
It seems that it is possible to make a production by selling a product somehow.
‘Although I’ll never be able to have the concept I want.’
A bling bling idol concept basically requires a lot of money.
“Hey, is it possible to borrow things from acquaintances?”
“You can’t stop that. However, if it costs money to borrow it, you have to deduct it from the production cost.”
“You mean it’s okay to borrow it for free?”
“Yes.”
Then it definitely makes things easier.
The maids, the daughters of conglomerates, would gladly procure expensive jewelry.
All sorts of luxury goods were just a matter of bringing things that were around the house in moderation.
However, it was a matter of concern about how to reveal the source of the luxury goods.
‘Should I just reveal that I am a close friend?’
While I was worrying about the props I would need for the music video shoot.
Senior Hong Yoon-ah tried to get hints about the game by pecking at the production team.
“What are you going to play with?”
“I can’t tell you that yet.”
“Is this really going to happen between us? It’s not that I really intend to make a music video with 1,000. If you call a precious friend like this and suffer, our program will be ruined! Do you know how many fans this friend has?”
“Ugh, are we really going to make it that difficult?”
“You’re thinking of filming us dying for a small production cost. No?”
“Hmmmm! I’m not going to do it that hard.”
PD-nim is embarrassed whether senior Hong Yoon-ah’s words penetrated the situation sharply.
However, he did not give any hints about the game until the end.
“Under… It’s not easy, it’s not easy.”
In the end, even the senior seemed to give up.
The situation where I had to play a game to earn production money was a very familiar and fun composition in terms of entertainment, but it was a situation that was unfamiliar to me.
Before playing a game that required production costs, I was at a loss as to what to prepare.
‘I need to know what to prepare beforehand…’
So I asked the senior when the camera was turned off after the meeting.
“Senior, what game should I practice? Are you really not going to tell me in advance?”
“If the production crew here says they won’t teach you because they’re toxic, they really won’t teach you. But I know roughly how these guys go about it, so I’ll tell you a few things.”
“Yes!”
Through Hong Yoon-ah’s attribute tutoring, the production team prepared for the game to be prepared.
Starting with old games, popular games these days, and first voice games, etc.
Star-of-the-star games are presented as examples.
“I will practice, senior!”
“Yes, yes. Don’t be too pressured, come comfortably and you’ll be fine. You said it wasn’t too difficult. They’re not the kind of people who would ask you to make a music video for just 10 million won.”
I was worried that I would feel burdened, and I felt relieved thanks to the comforting reading.
To be honest, if I had to make a music video with 10 million won, it would be fun in terms of entertainment, but it would be impossible to produce the music video I want.
So I was very nervous, but it didn’t seem like I was that inflexible.
“Anyway, can you really do it? I only have one week. If you feel like you can’t do it, feel free to tell me. The writers must have already roughly prepared the song.”
“Yes, senior. Still, I had a chance to try it myself, but it was regrettable to go comfortably without trying. I am also greedy.”
“Ah, since you’re so active, I’m starting to become a burden too. I like to dance, but I’m not good at it. You know?”
“Well, I’ll make it to a level that seniors can do enough!”
“Anyway, I have sense. Yes yes I will also practice dancing and singing hard.”
When I returned home after the meeting, the people at home greeted me very much.
“Master is here!!”
“Did you have a good meeting?”
“Welcome.”
It’s been a long time since I went out to work and it tastes like this.
Kanna, Jung-hwa, and even my real-life nanny waiting for me at home.
It was a feeling only a father who had experienced it could feel.
Suddenly, the strength goes into the shoulders and the neck becomes stiff.
“I bought something delicious. Dumplings and steamed buns.”
“Wow! Looks delicious!”
“Kanna has lemonade, Junghwa has tomato juice, and Nanny Sil has coffee.”
“Thank you.”
“I’ll have a good drink.”
“Lemonade! How do you know my taste…”
They are happy while eating dumplings and steamed buns.
Looking at it, I told the story of today’s meeting.
“You are making a music video? I think it will be so much fun!”
“It’s good to try different things.”
“I’m sorry during the talk, but what is a music video?”
“I will show you!”
Kanna pulled out her phone and showed us the music video for our song.
“Aren’t you the boss here?”
For reference, the title my real nanny called me had changed from client to boss.
It was because the boss was a much more incongruous title than the client.
“That’s right. Our master! Are you really cool? You sing very well too. You are a very, very famous singer. Do you know what a singer is?”
“Yes, it’s not the same, but I know jobs that are similar. It’s just that the boss is so gorgeous… I didn’t know that you had a job singing while moving your body vigorously. Usually people who do this are of a lower status.”
“Even in our world, I wasn’t treated very well in the beginning. Then, as the class system disappeared and the world developed, the profession of singer became people’s idol. Most of the teenagers now want to become celebrities. Or that you become a fan because you admire and like celebrities.”
As if convinced by Kanna’s explanation, Nanny nodded her head.
“At first, my eyes were very dizzy, but as I continued to look at it, it seemed that something splendid caught my eye. It’s hard to understand the lyrics because the translation isn’t working properly. Anyway, you mean that the boss makes these things, right?”
“Yes.”
“If there is anything I need, please let me know. It’s not as grand as the magic shown here, but I can do simple things like levitating.”
I burst out laughing at Nanny Sil’s words.
She misunderstood that the music video, which was created through CG and editing, was taken as she was in real life.
“There is no magic in our world.”
“Ah!”
Nanny Sil’s eyes widened.
“I forgot about it. No magic, how did you film this? Did you do this with science? I can’t believe it. Maybe science is greater than magic.”
“This is not a picture of what actually happened. We just danced in a green chroma key, and the background was all CG. So, to put it simply, we created a fictional space and pasted our dancing scene there. Even if I say it like this, I don’t think you will understand it well.”
“… It is true that it is difficult to understand.”
“If you look at it later, wouldn’t it be possible to understand it when you see the master’s variety show? It’s about filming the production and showing it.”
And Kanna made us realize by saying something she hadn’t thought of.
“Is that so? Then it will work.”
“You just need to know each one! I’ll tell you everything slowly!”
“Hufu, nanny will be watching, so you should work hard on filming, right?”
“Iknow, right. I have to work really hard.”
“You mean the boss is appearing on TV?”
“Yes.”
There is nothing more helpful than TV to learn about our country’s culture.
When my sister-in-law became interested in TV, Jung-hwa and Kanna introduced me to the drama as if it were an opportunity.
‘Drama… It’s a complete cheat, isn’t it?’
If Jeong-hwa starts watching her favorite dramas, her real-life nanny will soon blend into Korean culture.
“Then, is there anything we can do to help?”
“No, this is the most important thing, but I think the production cost will be a bit tight.”
“Eh? Did you put a limit on production costs?”
“Because it’s entertainment, there should be such a device. The good thing is that I won’t touch it until I borrow it from my acquaintances.”
“Then… ?”
“What I ask of Joo-ah and Min-young is to film, and the rest I want to get some help from our maids.”
“With mine!!! Do mine!! There are so many luxury goods!!!!!”
Kanna’s eyes sparkled as if an aurora had disappeared.
