All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent - All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent chapter 143

143. Shall we dance? (2)

“Huh…”

Eom Kang-seok scratched his head while looking at the Nutube channel and the archivist’s comments.

“What are you doing now, can you become an issue just by dancing? It’s ridiculous.”

“So. uh? The news just came out. It’s coming up like it’s been waiting for it.”

There is a 16-hour difference between Korea and Hollywood, but articles about Jae-ik were constantly coming up, day or night.

Aren’t you a writer and director who is promoting national prestige in the United States?

Besides, recently, while in charge of the production of Detective, he was injecting lethal doses of soup 24/7.

Reporters also knew what people would see if they wrote an article related to Jaeik, so if something very small came out, they would write an article and read it.

Besides, Jaeik was one of those people who was famous for not doing interviews unless it was absolutely necessary, so it’s too much to listen to news or dig up something new, so youtube is almost the only communication channel?

“Hey, I want you to do an interview. Are there a lot of articles about you?”

Of course, given the circumstances, not all articles about Jae-Ik were friendly. Because there were definitely people who looked at Jae-ik arrogantly.

Of course, among such articles, all articles of obvious criticism or criticism are drowned out by comments systematically reviewed by archivists.

“It’s an interview, aren’t you doing the necessary interview? not enough what And when you post news on You Tube, you write an article on your own, so what are you going to do?”

“Even so.”

“It doesn’t make any sense. You’re whining about news stories, what the heck.”

While looking at the reaction to the comments, Jaeik pondered something.

“But now that I think about it, it’s been a while since we didn’t have a fan event, right?”

“right? what’s the latest The last thing you did was a Joseon Ghost Annals fan meeting, right? I’ve done that a few times before. It’s been a while. But why?”

I didn’t throw a rice cake or throw a challenge like a comment reaction, but if you accept it like that, wouldn’t it be okay to make it that way?

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a fan event.

“Then let’s do a fan event for the first time in a while. I’m going to keep uploading this dancing video anyway, right? Put a hint in the video and invite 3 or 5 people with the correct answer. I filmed a documentary-style vlog and uploaded it to You Tube. All invitation and stay expenses are borne by us. People were excited, but if there was nothing, it would be a big problem.”

“That’s right. It’s a penny or two…”

“Isn’t it time for us to worry about a penny or two? Even if you only think about your YouTube income.”

It wouldn’t be a penny or two if the cost of the five people’s flight and lodging were included, but that wasn’t the burden.

Because the money I was earning right away was honestly not one or two pennies. It must be clear that the daily wage alone is more than enough to cover the cost of living for those five people.

“uh. I know. Is that so?”

Kang Seok scratched his head in embarrassment. To be honest, I thought I could buy a building in the middle of Seoul when I just looked at the profit Jae Ik is making now.

“anyway. So, how do I give you a hint?”

“Well.”

Rumors must have already started circulating that Jaeik is negotiating detailed contracts for the sale of musical licenses.

As time passed, it would have been an instant for the news to come out. Hollywood was such a place, and it was more sensitive to news than anywhere else.

Of course, the Korean reporters who dictate the article must be fast. If so, doing a musical itself cannot be the correct answer.

“How many dance videos do you think?”

“Part 3 or 4? At most, maybe five? Isn’t that enough to show off your skills anyway? If it’s too long, it’ll get boring.”

“It doesn’t.”

Normally, when I shoot a video, instead of splitting one episode into two, I post the one filmed in one day through editing, so that’s probably enough after I’ve digested my talent to some extent.

“Then, the first 5 people who sent the mail among the people who put the hint in the video and solved the hint about the mail.”

“Mail?”

“yes. Selling a new mail for an event, isn’t it easy? The hint is to mark the letters of the mail with structures.”

“Hoo. Are you okay? If you add the letters together, you get an e-mail address, right?”

It was a method often used by game companies and film companies for publicity. Like an easter egg.

“answer. An event like that would suffice. Inviting them to take a tour of the house and touring the set wouldn’t be bad either. Or a visit to the detective company would be fine.”

Because there are so many things to do, there are so many things to show or do.

“okay. Then leave it to me?”

“ok? What?”

“What? It’s a follow-up. I’m busy learning to dance right now. I also have to make musicals. Detective has now finished appointing a director, so we have to have an actor meeting. I have to take care of the after-world work. In Tech Poland…”

“Okay, okay! Damn. I can’t say anything. Instead, confirm or help is to help. Arrangement and production of props is your field of expertise rather than mine.”

Eom Kang-seok, who was listening to Jae-ik’s work, shook his head and nodded. What can I do? that this is what you have to do.

Conversely, Jaeik raised a corner of his mouth at having successfully handed over some of his responsibilities.

“That’s right.”

—

over the course of a month.

Task Force V was in contact with actors after David Phillips was appointed as director, and most of the lead actors had already been contracted.

In the process, I was able to get a glimpse of Detective’s potential, which brought out the contract in an advantageous way with just one script written by Jae Ik.

As if to show that it is dissatisfying to appoint a B-grade comedy director you don’t like even though you have prepared a list of directors, each and every villain has been cast with famous actors.

One way or another, in the end, the detective was the detective. As soon as it started to roll properly, its power was completely concentrated in one point, showing tremendous power.

Besides, the film adaptation of the other side of the world is now really near the end. CG is applied and the audio is heard more clearly. Once all that was done, all that was left was real editing.

After the editing was done, the script would be handed over to the translator in the country where it was released, and then all that was really left was to hit the theater.

In addition, when the dance reached a certain extent in a month, what Jaeik did was to watch and learn many musicals in person.

Unlike other content, the musical content was very unfamiliar to Jaeik.

Although it is grouped under the name of a musical, there were numerous types within the musical.

From a book show to a jukebox musical, a movie, a dance musical, a dramatic, a novel, whatever.

In fact, this was a fact that Jaeik learned through the Internet in the process of digesting his musical talent.

Usually, how musicals are composed and how the story is told. And while studying how to dance.

‘It’s pretty funny. It’s really diverse, but the ideas are great. The beauty of the live performance was also clearly preserved.’

I felt like I had seen almost all the musicals that I would know just by the name. It took me quite a long time to watch it whenever I had a chance, but I was satisfied.

The digestion of talent and the progress of other things are the same.

Around that time, the news of a musical production contract between Jaeik, Amplix, and Harold Weaver broke out.

Except for the eyes mixed with envy and jealousy, people thought instead of sending suspicious or concerned eyes that they were challenging new things like in the past.

‘How would a musical produced by Song Jae-ik be like?’

It was the result of the overwhelming performance that Song Jae-ik has shown so far.

The date on the calendar was already approaching the end of December 2021.

“At that time, the results of that fan event came out.”

“Oh, yesterday was the deadline, right?”

“There are hundreds of thousands of people who have sent emails properly. Honestly, if I hadn’t confused you in the last video, the number would have increased.”

“Hundreds of thousands? Oh, are there more and more of them?”

“Think about it carefully. It was a You Tube event, but you know that we are international, right? People from all countries are all mixed up. But it’s true that only 5 of them are selected. uh It’s crazy.”

The number of subscribers on You Tube was already crossing 22 million. Even at this time, the number of subscribers continued to increase. 7th in Korea alone. It’s not in the top 100 when compared globally. It couldn’t have been a huge subscriber ranking.

“Is it really cut to the first 5 people?”

What’s more surprising is that the average number of views of the video is high, so the purity is high?

“No, wait a minute.”

In addition, it was my personal judgment that the number of fans would be higher if I think of fan cafes or communities that are spread out by country.

‘When did the number of fans increase so much? No, I wasn’t really paying attention.’

I scratched my head at the strange fact. I think it’s the result of focusing too much on production.

“Hmm.”

Obviously, creating content and taking on new challenges is one of the most important things.

“It will need a change.”

“change? what a sudden change? What else are you going to do?”

“A change like that to pay a little more attention to the fans, even if it means splitting time?”

Thinking about it, I wondered if there was too much communication with the fans or something like that. In Detective, I said that I would become a producer who puts fans first, but I couldn’t protect my fans.

How funny is this?

“Good idea. To be honest, our fans are used to it now, but isn’t unexpected fan service always good?”

“Let’s postpone the announcement of the winner for a while.”

“Somewhat?”

“I will tell you tomorrow. Think about it for a moment.”

I felt like I needed some big changes.

(Hmm. Even if it’s slow, one month is enough.)

After listening to Jaeik’s story, Spielberg counted the time and nodded, saying it was enough.

(By the way. It’s quite surprising to think like that? That’s the correct answer. If you’re just a regular producer, you’re not just a producer.)

(I realized it too late, because I thought it was enough to just enjoy what I create.)

And Natalia, who had been talking on the phone with Reed Hastings for a while, came in with a bright face and shook her phone.

(The chairman is also of the opinion that it is okay. However, he said that he would like to support part of the event from us. Of course, it is not free, but on the condition of publicity.)

(It seems like I’m only indebted to each other.)

(As for the situation. This is also a movie we produced. Rather, I am grateful that the writer said this first.)

(Then, we can’t just show it off and end it. Shouldn’t we also film a light greeting? But it’s the first time we’re meeting fans.)

Jaeik’s YouTube event apart from inviting 5 fans.

To hold unofficial surprise previews for fans in dozens of cities around the world.

And half of that was at Jaeik’s own expense. If you couldn’t take care of it in the past, isn’t it a way to take care of it more than twice as much from now on?
