Chapter 101 – #16. King Woohak (1)
Producer of the web drama 「There is a Prince at My School」.
“Is this really starting?”
“I’m done recruiting, so what?”
“… There is no such thing as real money. Jeop, I should have been born a man too.”
“Hey! If that sound gets into the writer’s ears, it’s a big deal. Watch your mouth And the script isn’t bad.”
“Are you a newbie writer or a new director? No, with what kind of confidence do you put an idol in the lead role? At least they should have recruited actors who studied acting. You’re determined to ruin, right?”
“Still, the production cost is lofty. The writer’s wife invested in it.”
The wife of the writer who wrote ‘There is a Prince in My School’ asked for a web drama to be produced with a huge investment, and she had no reason to refuse the money, so production began.
Surprisingly, the scenario wasn’t bad, so I had a positive outlook that it would be a good work in the beginning.
The problem started when the director came in by parachute.
The director was the writer’s older sister.
The director pushed his authority recklessly.
The director, who was crazy about visual beauty, insisted on casting an ‘idol’ and filming it on camera.
Investors are on their side, writers are on their side.
It is a very good environment for the director to run amok.
“Anyway, I don’t think these are the real ones. You are an idol.”
“In terms of his face, he is hotter than actors these days. Even when I look at it, there is nothing to say about the visuals.”
“Settings have to be compromised to some degree!!”
“If you don’t like it that much, go and ask the director. Because I’m dying of boredom.”
“Eh?! How are you? Are you going to get fired from your job?”
“If you can’t do it, just do what you are told to do! Even if you complain, nothing will change. Does that make shooting better? Or will it change something that has already been recruited?”
“…”
At the cold words of the senior, an employee from the production company pouted out his lips.
“Don’t force the kids who came after being cast for nothing. Just because you’re like that doesn’t make the drama better. It means don’t disturb the atmosphere by trying to solve something that hurt your feelings. Okay?”
“… Yes.”
“Is the answer really bad?”
“All right. I got it!”
“Tsk tsk tsk! It’s because I’m so immature.”
He is the guy who came to the production company to become a director.
I know very well why this guy is abusive.
If it wasn’t for the investor’s influence, he would have been the director of the next web drama production.
He worked for a long time as an assistant director under him, and his skills were good thanks to his outstanding talent.
It’s to the point where it’s a pity to enlist in the next work.
‘I was so excited at the thought of finally enlisting, but now that it’s gone, my mouth has to come out like that. What can I do though? This is the reality of the production company.’
Even if this shoot failed, there was no loss on the part of the production company.
This is because the investor has signed a contract to bear all the risk.
The investor hoped that her husband would not be discouraged throughout the filming.
What a wife who loves her husband can’t do something for him!
And that excessive love was ruining the web drama.
How can people called rookie directors know the difficulties of people working in the field?
‘They know that this isn’t a joke until they’re properly treated.’
Let’s go rampage to our heart’s content this time and regret it bitterly.
How hard is this bottom to hold on, so are you trying to get in by asking an investor?
Because of this, she deliberately neglected to point out the problem even though it was obvious.
It is a production that starts knowing that it will fail.
There was nothing more powerful than experiencing reality directly to discourage writers and directors who had high noses due to their background as investors.
“Should these guys be considered lucky or bad?”
Being a rookie with no experience at all, getting into a project that could be ruined can be counted as ‘lucky’.
This work will be a painful experience for the writer and director, but it will also be a great experience for the actors.
“We are here~”
“Director Han, you are here. Did you enjoy your lunch?”
“Uh~ yes. I’m here? I ate soup without hesitation.”
Despite coming to work, writer Choi Hee-min and director Choi Young-ji showed up wearing bright clothes as if they were out for a walk in the park.
The smell of meat wafted from his clothes, as if he had eaten meat.
If you’re going to eat, call and eat together. People are so mean.
‘You have to cater to young guys at this age. It’s a crazy thing.’
On the inside, he was grinding his teeth, but revealing it on the outside was a sewage job.
“I came to hear the news. I heard you were cast!”
“Is it because Choi’s script is so good? He said he would do it right away.”
“Look, sister! Didn’t I say I didn’t have to worry?”
“Wow~ Then is Jin Hae-sol really appearing in my drama? I heard that the real thing is so great!”
“… Maybe so. Kang Jun, a member of the same group, was also confirmed to appear.”
“Fuck, I want to shoot quickly. When are you ready to shoot?”
I was so taken aback by director Choi Young-ji’s words that I couldn’t speak for a moment.
The director of ‘There is a Prince at My School’ is not himself, but director Choi Young-ji.
But he was whining to himself, asking when will the filming be ready.
Even in a situation where investors had to keep an eye on it, it was impossible to handle things in this way.
That bitch’s attitude now was to postpone the dirty work to herself and do only what she wanted to do.
“Hey, since when did I become the director of Choi’s works?”
“Yes? What are you talking about? Of course I am the director.”
“But why ask me when will I be ready to shoot? I almost got it wrong.”
He smiled smirkingly and took off his pretense.
It was only natural that director Choi Young-ji’s face was crumpled.
“For me, this is my debut. Director Han said he would take care of it.”
“You cared! You wrote a lot! You lent all my staff. I also lent the assistant director. Get out of here? Then, if this work is stolen from me, why do you say such an innocent thing?”
“It was written by my younger brother, but why is it stolen by a director? I’m the one holding the megaphone!”
“Heh heh heh! Who said what It’s still your work. So you have to work hard. Are you going to ruin your brother’s well-made work?”
Writer Choi Hee-min’s eyes sharpen at Director Han’s smirk.
However, that sharp gaze went not only to director Han, but also to director Choi Young-ji.
“What are we going to do, sister?”
“Uh?”
“If it was a debut film, I should have worked harder and checked it out! Just trying to put it all off to one director? If I ruin my work like this, will your sister take responsibility?”
“Hey, does the director have to do such a nasty thing?”
“Every other director does that. Isn’t your sister the director?”
“My situation is different from other directors! We brought in investors. Then, shouldn’t the production company be considerate of this?”
Director Choi Young-ji was an asshole, and writer Choi Hee-min also had a formidable conception that his arms would bend inwards.
“Is that what you hear? Director Han, does my sister really have to do chores like that?”
‘Fuck, why is that a chore? It’s about making a movie!!’
I just want to hold onto my back from high blood pressure and collapse.
“Well, isn’t preparing for a shoot something that can be dismissed as a chore? While exploring the filming location, thinking about how to film, and selecting the cast…”
“Oh my, who wouldn’t do that? Of course, I have to choose the cast. I audition for the remaining roles. Do you still have a mistress left?”
“I don’t have a few lines, but I’ll have to pick out minor roles as well.”
“That’s what the director picks out. I will only care about the mistress. Yeo-ju will be selected after carefully evaluating her acting skills. Isn’t it? Jin Hae-sol and Kang-jun seem to have captured enough visual beauty, so I chose Yeo-ju as an ugly kid. Instead, her acting skills are a killer.”
“… Okay? I am very surprised.”
Director Han said that and thought to himself.
‘I wanted to do that because I was resentful of the looks of male leads because I only looked at their faces, wasn’t it?’
Writer Choi Hee-min is quite handsome.
Although he is not good enough to engage in entertainment activities, he is a face that belongs to the upper ranks compared to ordinary people.
That’s why I was able to marry a woman with the ability to pay for this investment.
On the other hand, director Choi Young-ji, who has the same blood, has an ugly face.
My brother is so handsome, what’s wrong with your face? It sounds like you’ve heard it quite a bit.
Is that so?
It was director Choi Young-ji who only shouted ‘face’ when casting.
However, it seems that the obstinacy that made him crazy only applies to men, not to women.
“Sister! You’re going to pick an ugly kid for the female lead? No! Choose a pretty woman!”
“Hey, things like this need some realism. If the male protagonist is fantasy, the female character needs to be realistic in contrast so that viewers can relate to it.”
“Import?”
“Yeah, looking at it, she is like a heroine herself. You fall into the delusion that something fantasy will really happen around you. Like an idiot.”
Three handsome men pay attention to a normal woman?
That kind of thing can’t happen in real life.
And director Choi Young-ji thought that people would watch 「There is a Prince in My School」 Because it was not realistic.
Excessive fantasy weakens her sense of immersion, so the heroine is sprinkled with MSG, a sense of reality.
Director Han frowned at Director Choi Young-ji’s words.
‘Why did heaven give such a bitch both personality and skills!!’
Even though he is helping him by going through a dead end, he has a sharp side, so he doesn’t leave out the important points of the drama.
Hearing what director Choi Young-ji had just said, director Han nodded his head as if he unknowingly agreed.
‘Come to think of it, writer Choi Hee-min also wrote the script well. Are siblings talented?’
Get hot
Why is the world so unfair?
Director Han let out a small sigh.
They are saying that every day is far from ruin, but they are finishing preparations for a leisurely voyage while maintaining an unexpectedly shiny appearance of “There is a prince at our school.”
♧ ♧ ♧
“Did another present arrive?”
“Huh.”
“Hyung must have a lot of fans. Can I see you in front of my brother?”
“I can not see. Help me out And it’s not that I don’t have many fans. It all came from one person.”
When I entered the dorm, the company told me to stop by for a while, and when I went, they gave me a pile of presents.
Surprisingly, all of these gifts came from one person.
“Hee! Is this all? That’s even more surprising.”
“The manager said that he thought it might have been sent by the fan who gave the car as a gift.”
The fan who gave the car as a gift said that he did not contact the company, probably because it was his intention not to show up until the end.
There were only people who made impersonation phone calls for the purpose of scamming the wrong way.
Instead of taking the car, he was giving me a bunch of small gifts.
“Can I watch you open presents?”
“You can do it. Let me know if there is anything you would like to see.”
“Ah, it was given to me by a fan of hyung, so I can’t use it carelessly.”
“I’ll put it in the dorm anyway, so if you say it’s for common use, it’s a pig.”
I wondered when this would happen, but luckily the members showed interest in my gift, so I decided to pamper them.
