A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 82

The challenge was fun, and the average budget was around 120 million per episode. The salaries of the staff come separately from the broadcasting station, but even if they were to be paid generously, they did not exceed 150 million.

But for the 8th episode of ＜Treasure Island＞, the total production cost was 13 billion won. It was surprising that it was easily passing 1.5 billion won per episode.

“Most of the cost will be spent on setting up the set. I’m going to make the whole little island look like a real jungle.”

“Anyway, will Ping Pong Plus support me to this extent?”

“Um… I don’t know… Let’s try to negotiate.”

“Wow, I love just negotiating this amount.”

“Iknow, right. It’s nice to work.”

“I can’t imagine it yet.”

The production cost is an issue that needs to be discussed with Ping Pong, so it is not a topic we will be discussing now.

Once passed, I looked at Seoyoon.

“Seo Yoon-ah, did I tell you to put it all together?”

“Yes, writer.”

Seoyoon pulled out a report about the entertainment PD. The first thing I had to do was hire a PD who would make ＜Treasure Island＞ well.

“It has been well organized. Age, affiliation, profile, disposition, and even job characteristics? No, how did you find out about the job characteristics?”

“I borrowed the power of a group chat room for assistant writers and a group chat room for entertainment staff. I searched all the information on the internet and you tube. I actually checked it out.”

“Wow-”

“Lee Seo-yoon. It’s like you’re a perfectionist.”

“Our youngest child does a good job.”

We poured compliments on Seoyoon, who was proud of her by increasing the number of nostrils.

“Then, should Seoyoon, who investigated the data, report it?”

“yes. All right.”

Seoyoon stood up and we focused on her.

“First, PD Kang Dong-seo. He is 47 years old and belongs to Company Dream. The most recent work is ＜Run, Strong Sister＞ in 2020, and it has a conservative attitude, so it is stable, but there are reviews that it is banal.”

Seo-yoon Lee lowered her tail as if it was not Kang Dong-seo. Shim Soo-kyung added immediately.

“Company Dream is rumored to be a gathering place for old producers. It made a name for itself ten years ago, but now it is a representative production company that cannot keep up with the trend.”

“right.”

Conflicting verses.

“Oki, pass. next.”

Lee Seo-yoon moves on to the next producer’s profile according to my instructions.

“Bongdaljin PD. Age 51, no affiliation. His latest work is ＜Yorijori Food Tour＞ in 2019. He has a strong experimental tendency and enjoys trying new things. The downside is that they have a strong tendency to do whatever they want depending on their mood. There were a couple of times when I argued with the villagers and stopped recording.”

“…”

“…”

There was nothing to say.

Discord with the residents of the place where the filming took place is unforgivable.

“Pass, then.”

“PD Kim Hyun-sik. He is 36 years old and belongs to YS Imagination. The most recent work is ＜Brave New World＞ in 2021, and the creative and detailed direction is the highlight. He is famous for putting subtitles well. The downside is that he only recruits people from his own division. So, there is an evaluation that it is boring. According to the assistant writer’s group chat room, there is talk of having a date with the cast.”

“Aren’t most YS Imaginations like that? No matter what I do, the ratings are above average, but the head PD Yeong-seok hates writing new people, so he’s a dead person. It will probably be difficult to include the actors we want.”

Shim Soo-kyung also added. I knew a lot of things because I was a senior who ate at least one more meal in this neighborhood.

“right. He’s too old. If it’s enough to have a flirt with a performer without hesitation… Seoyoon will try to continue.”

“yes.”

I continued to read the report, but there was no PD that fit my heart. One thing at a time gets stuck and gets blocked.

Above all, the biggest drawback was the lack of freshness.

“Among so many producers, how come no one wants to be this person?”

“I think we should erase some of the shortcomings and review again.”

“I’m doing it under the name of writer Jaeho Yoon, so can’t it be a bit tricky?”

The meeting continued, but no satisfactory result was obtained.

“Let’s take a break for 20 minutes and discuss it again.”

“yes.”

“yes.”

“yes.”

I decided to take a short break.

I went out into the garden Because there is nothing more healing than the green ones when your heart is tight.

Actually, it was a winter garden, so most of it was brown and bony, but it was still better than the cement floor.

I walked around the garden, basking in the sun and doing some stretching. I intensively relax my neck, shoulders and back and walk around again.

A faint memory emerged from under the soft grass floor.

‘Ah, I think I can get my hands on something.’

After walking some more, one person came to my mind more clearly.

It was still blurry though.

there is someone

There is a PD who is perfect for ＜Treasure Island＞.

Oh, but who was it?

···Challenges are fun··· I am related to Dozzle.

A memory that tickles as if it will come to mind.

Perhaps that feeling would disappear, so I quickly went into my personal writing room and turned on my laptop.

Then go to You Tube and search for Dozzle Legend.

I flipped through the highlight videos such as ‘Tricycle Chase’, ‘Vampire’s Meal’, ‘Backpack of Memories’, and ‘Quick Cut’ and stopped at a moment.

okay. this is it

＜Escape the Labyrinth of the Minotaur＞.

Producer Cheon Seong-gi, who was an assistant director at the time!

Seonggi Cheon was an assistant director who left the same year as the youngest because I enjoyed the challenge.

The time we worked together was short and the junction with me was not great, so I couldn’t remember it well.

Still, as I thought about it, it started to come to mind one by one. The style and strengths of PD Cheon Seong-gi.

He excelled mainly on special shoots like House of Horror, Hidden Camera, Booby Trap, House of Labyrinth, and Room Escape.

Even with a small budget, the initial challenge was fun, making it possible to try various things,

There was also a rumor that he would become the main producer and take on a new variety show in recognition of his ability.

But I don’t know why, but one day I quit my job, and after that, I was forgotten.

But at this point, such a heavenly flag is stuck in my head.

Once you get stuck like this, you can’t get it out even if you die.

Until they sit down in my work, succeed together, and become happy. never!

“Where are you now?”

I searched the name of Cheon Seong-gi on the Internet and contacted people I might know. But his whereabouts were unknown.

Have you ever stopped working in broadcasting?

Did you go abroad?

At the meeting that started again, it was announced once.

PD Chun Seong-gi said he would take care of our ＜Treasure Island＞.

“PD-nim Cheon Seong-gi?”

“Who is he?”

“Hear it for the first time.”

The sub-writers tilted their heads. It has to be.

He left the company when I was the youngest Dozzle, so my juniors are people I don’t know at all.

“You know the early Dozzle summer special ＜The Minotaur’s Escape from the Labyrinth＞, right?”

“Oh, of course I know. That’s one of the legends.”

Shim Soo-kyung, Gu Song-yi, and Lee Seo-yoon tap their knees as if they were happy.

“I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that. But every time I see it, it’s funny. Especially Sangdon’s older brother. When I cry because I won’t get paid for this episode. 👀”

“right. You said you cried because you were really lost because of how elaborate you made the maze. 👀”

“That scene must have been the number one viewership rating of all time. 👀”

When we thought of ＜The Minotaur’s Escape from the Labyrinth＞, we burst into laughter. And I said

“Looking back, I remember. At that time, PD-nim and I went in and couldn’t find our way, so it was a mess. PD Chun Seong-gi went in and saved me.”

“Oh, did something like that happen?”

“yes. I was the youngest at the time, so I didn’t know what it was, but thinking about it now, it was so much fun. Anyway, at that time, the person who planned it, set up the set, and did everything was PD Chun Seong-gi.”

“Oh~.”

“You are a wonderful person.”

“I don’t know why he suddenly left, but he’s definitely the perfect fit for our ＜Treasure Island＞ concept. So, recruiting PD Chun Seong-gi is the first thing we have to do.”

“Good. Paddy, where are you now? I will make an appointment right away.”

Shim Soo-kyung was elated and picked up her phone.

“That… I don’t know.”

“yes?”

“I just searched the internet and contacted a few people I know, but nothing is happening.”

“Let’s look for it again. What.”

“Anyway, you will be on Earth.”

“Leave it to us. Writer.”

Each of the sub-writers turned on their laptops and started searching for storms.

The search for nature continued until late afternoon ping-pong practitioners came, but no clue was found.

***

In time for the appointment, Chul-joong Kwon, the content production support team leader of Ping Pong Plus, Dae-jin Seong, in charge of casting, and Yong-il Jang, in charge of finance, visited the writing room.

It was the first meeting to support ＜Treasure Island＞ in earnest.

“Here is the ＜Treasure Island＞ plan. Let’s see it first.”

I presented the plan that I had shown to the sub-writers earlier to them as well.

First of all, an agreement had to be reached on the part of the budget that had been drawn up.

“Then we will read it.”

They began to meticulously review the plan, not to miss even a single letter.

While completely immersed, he rubbed his chin once, shook his leg slightly, and spit out an exclamation of ‘Oh’ in the middle.

Overall, it was a look I liked.

Still, I was determined to make a loud noise because of the budget.

The three of them finally made it to the last chapter.

However, after exchanging whispers with the finance manager Jang Yong-il, he nodded his head and gave a satisfied expression.

“yes. I saw it well. I can see why our general manager puts so much effort into writer Jae-ho Yoon. If ＜Treasure Island＞ is made according to the plan, I think it will become a new indicator of entertainment.”

Team leader Kwon Cheol-joong said nothing but praised them.

Now I’m so nervous that I’m going to talk about the budget.

weird. Seine Kim.

I can’t. I should ask the country first.

“Did you see the production budget over there?”

“Yes, I saw it written here as 13 billion.”

Even then, Chief Kwon said nothing.

My juniors and I looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.

If so, I have to ask again.

“Will all 13 billion be supported? If not, I would like to see an agreement now.”

Chief Kwon smiled slightly. You seem to know my intentions.

“It’s an amount that doesn’t deviate much from what Director Hong Da-bin expected.”

Wow.

Dabin Hong. this woman distribution bonded.

They say they want to spend 13 billion on 8 entertainment shows, but they don’t blink an eye.

On the contrary, only our team of writers were out of breath.

“Please tell the general manager that I am grateful for trusting me. Let’s make it really right.”

“yes. It smells like jackpot.”

So the story was over,

The general manager said not to waste too much time, and the three of them went away.

With a somewhat heavy sense of responsibility, we refocused our efforts on finding the PD of our natural talent. Ping Pong pushes us like this, but we also had to do our job properly.

who knows who knows.

search on search.

bite tail to tail

I finally got a clue.

“Writer! According to my fairly accurate source of information.”

“yes. tell me quickly Gusong.”

“The daughter of PD Cheon Seong-gi, who was born the year he left the company, suffered from severe atopy. He said that his wife and PD, who majored in art, gave up city life and started farming… After that, they moved their residences a few more times, and then we lost contact… So no one knows where PD-nim is now. .That’s it.”

“I don’t know?”

The bottom line is that you don’t know.

My head is pounding with embarrassment,

Ding-dong~

alarm that sounds then.

Aha, that coupon is what you use at times like this.

channel. Thank you!

An emergency executive meeting was convened at NBC. Because the ＜Office Battle＞ problem was growing out of control.

Aside from the fact that the drama, which invested 15 billion won, has only recovered 3.5 billion won, online bulletin boards were flooded with requests from viewers to find out the truth and take responsibility for the Yoo Jung-an incident. To the extent that other tasks are paralyzed.

NBC’s reputation, which had been built up so far, plummeted to the ground, and the anger of its president Sung Sang-bong pierced the sky.

“Everyone put their minds somewhere and make work to this level!! The money recovered from advertising is only 3.5 billion!! How are you going to cover the rest of your investment?”

bang bang!

President Seong Sang-bong struck the table three times to see if his anger would not subside even if he shouted.

“And Yoo Jung-an, ha! Do you guys really do dramas once or twice? Did you not check the actors before entering the drama?”

“Sorry, sorry. That’s because the article suddenly exploded…”

“Then, do you notice that the article will explode suddenly? So, you should have checked in advance. Isn’t the drama management department telling you to do something like that?”

“sorry.”

“The bulletin board is devastated because of Yoo Jeong-an. They even called the press to get Yoo Jeong-an off the bus!!”

Director Choi Seok-bae and the executives below him put their heads in their heads.

“I can’t drag any more. Just end it early before the public opinion gets worse!”

CEO Sung Sang-bong grabbed the back of his neck and made the conclusion.
