All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent - All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent chapter 146

146. refresh

Along with the great success of the Behind the World movie, people paid attention to the choice of Mflix and Detective Comics again.

just a while ago Even when Jae-Ik signed a contract worth tens of billions of dollars, the tone that the two conglomerates made the wrong choice was somewhat at the bottom.

It is true that Song Jae-ik was a good choice, but it meant that it was too expensive.

But look at the results.

[The World Behind: Two Doors, 8th in all-time worldwide opening record, $480 million. (681.1 billion) Push Captain Bable of Bable to 9th place.]

[Best score for a first episode, not the middle of the series. $3.2 million difference from Treasure of the Dead Part 2 in 7th place.]

[Two doors leading to overwhelming ratings on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. The audience is one color.]

The world behind the scenes opened the door to the series properly by recording a huge score on the first day of release.

[The Underside World Part 2. Simultaneous publication worldwide. It sold over 7 million copies on the first day.]

[The world behind the top bestsellers last year and this year.]

[A world behind the scenes that sold over 30 million copies in just two copies. Where does the novel end?]

The novel is literally selling like crazy. People’s interest was focused on when the world behind the novel would hit 100 million sales. Selling 100 million copies was not an easy figure to achieve.

[Song Jae-ik’s ransom price soars. From writers to directors, producers, to Youtube. A true all-round genius.]

[Mflix and Detective Comics, which recognized Song Jae-ik’s talent early on, are the true winners.]

As this happened, news articles were pouring out saying that the choice of Mflix and Detective was the result of insight, not overconsumption.

In addition, the terms of the contract are not bad, and there are even rumors that the contract was signed at a good price. If you consider Jaeik’s influence and ability.

(The Night Knights will be directed by Matt Serkis, who was recommended.)

(Matt Serkis. He’s a good director. I’ll try contacting him from this side.)

Perhaps thanks to the influence of the underworld, Detective and Comics were also showing a very cooperative appearance in the progress of work.

A clear example was the introduction of the need to hire a star director to make a movie.

This is because Jaeik preferred a director who made a movie according to the script he intended rather than a star director.

However, I did not choose someone who had no talent at all. It was just about making that choice within a talented director.

(Looking at the director appointment, it seems that the script for Night Knights has already passed the production committee.)

(No. The meeting is tomorrow, but there’s no way it won’t go through.)

In response to Jaeik’s confident answer, Jonathan Kunt nodded his head muttering, “Is it true?” Because it wasn’t wrong.

When I saw the script he sneakily showed me, I thought the same thing. The Task Force was like that, but the Night Knights script was really awesome.

When I dared to predict it, I was careful to predict that it would be comparable to the Night Knights Trilogy, which is considered the best work of Night Knights.

‘It’s scary. Even without a star director, the producers are raising the quality of the work. Did such a maker ever exist?’

No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that there was nothing that I couldn’t easily recall. Most importantly, it was clear that there would be no such person in the future.

(How about a task force shoot?)

(It’s going smoothly. Director David Phillips’ enthusiasm is unusual. Rumors are spreading that the actors are also satisfied with their roles and script. Post-production has begun. I wonder if I can go and see the edited version soon. Is it okay if you don’t go?)

(Yes. Even if I went there, there is nothing good right now. It just adds more pressure.)

It was a feeling of pressure that everyone involved in the shooting of Task Force V was feeling. The pressure to lead the revival of Detective Comics, which is in a slump, and not to be the first failure of Jaeik, who is building a success story.

(Then, I don’t have a specific schedule after this. You should proceed with the script for Black Phantom as scheduled. You should also look for a scriptwriter for Green Wizard.)

(It is prepared in advance.)

(Because the most important thing in a movie is the screenplay. I will work on the synopsis, so it shouldn’t be difficult.)

(I’ll look for it.)

When the payment was over, Jaeik picked up his coat and left the office. All the decisions to be made today were over, and if something important happened, he would probably contact me separately.

(Are you going to the studio?)

(Yes. I have to go to the studio.)

Because there is always plenty of work to do.

—

Jaeik was always overflowing with things to do, but the work he’s been devoting the most to lately is, of course, musicals.

The working title is a pianist on the other side of the world battlefield. It was planned to deal with some events of the Great War before the starting point of Volume 1 of the Behind the World novel.

The focus of this musical was the character. And it was love and friendship.

Isn’t it the most powerful value that can be shown in a limited situation?

I received the script sent through Mflix. It was awesome. You are also a writer.

Harold continued the conversation with Jaeik in a high-pitched voice.

– You seem to know the direction, style, and directing method.

Natalia, who attended the meeting, just nodded her head proudly without saying anything.

(That’s good. So, what’s left is music and dancing?)

Yes. Yes. The script came out sooner than I thought, so I had plenty of room in other parts.

When producing a musical, it takes an average of two months to complete the script. That was when things were going well, but it was also a job that would increase infinitely if it went through revision after revision.

Set up a rough synopsis, give feedback, work on the second script, read and give feedback, and go through the third script work including the lyrics. In the process, the story and characters are supplemented and numerous adjustments are made.

However, in less than a month, Jae-ik finished the second script at once.

I’ve already put in commissions for some composers. Everyone said that they were working on a song for a world musical behind the scenes, so they welcomed it with both hands.

(I should hurry up with the song work too. Anyway, when my main theme is completed, it will be a little easier for others to work on the song.)

Probably so. So, if I have time, I will go there. Working on the main theme is important.

We will definitely deliver that part after confirming the artist’s schedule at Mflix.

After the script work was finished so early, the only thing left to do was work on the music. Since it is an important work more than a musical, Harold thought it would be better to visit Hollywood and talk with Jaeik.

(I’ll have to check the schedule, too, but I’ll probably have some time. I’ll check it out and let you know.)

All right! Then we’ll see you then.

“Turn it off-”

After the video conference, Jaeik stretched his back and leaned back.

When I pressed the space bar on the keyboard, the piano melody I had just been working on came out from the speaker, and I quietly closed my eyes and listened to the melody.

He is in charge of about two to three songs in total. It was the main theme song and the music for the main scenes.

The melody flowing from the speaker was still unfinished and at the same time was the main theme song of this musical.

It would be such a song worthy of the title of a battlefield pianist. It is a song that is sad and desperate, and at the same time you can read hope.

‘Hmm. Something is still missing. I can use one of the musical numbers, so the main theme is…’

It was never easy to put various emotions in a single song so that they are naturally connected. That’s why it may be a good song for others to listen to, but it still fell short of my standards.

Moreover, since it is the main theme song that runs through the entire story, I am making it carefully.

“Okay. It’s hard. difficult.”

The song didn’t come out as well as expected, so Jaeik stopped working on the music for a while and turned his eyes to the other side.

No matter how hard I tried to hold on to it, good tricks wouldn’t come out.

However, the problem was that it had been over a week since I had been holding on to this song.

Because that meant it wasn’t working properly.

“Yo- What are you doing, Mr. Dancing Machine?”

“We are working. Where are you calling the boss with a strange nickname?”

At Jaeik’s humorous answer, Kangseok giggled and held out the tablet screen.

“What?”

“Proposals from you.”

“suggest? Haven’t you decided not to take on other jobs for a while?”

“I rejected all proposals for production that took a long time, and other single offers.”

Recognized by the answer, he accepted the tablet and looked at the list organized by Kang-seok.

“What is this?”

“What? Invitation to a lecture, invitation to a professor, where to a congratulatory speech at a game expo, what, what. Oh, and whatfat asked me to ask when the time would be if we had to schedule a signing event.”

“What?”

Did you say that if you become a pioneer in a certain field, there will be people who will follow you? It seemed that all sorts of inquiries were coming from all sorts of places. Speaking at an invitation.

Besides, the countries were different. Korea, USA, France and Germany. There was even a seat as a judge for a competition.

“I’ll take a look and let you know.”

“I have arranged them in order of urgency, so please take a look and let me know. Especially when it comes to foreign countries, you have to think about the time to go there.”

“Hey.”

After Kang-seok left, Jae-ik lay down on the sofa and began to look at the list properly, swinging the tablet screen.

I didn’t think of rejecting all of these invitations because I thought it was one of the ways to reach out to fans.

And isn’t now the time to refresh?

“Well. Is this okay?”

Jaeik, who was wielding the list, checked several lists and sent them to Kang-seok.

It was natural since the publishing signing event was something I had to do unconditionally, and I chose one because I was curious and thought it would be fun. There was a meaning, so I chose one.

[Just sent. Proceed like this.]

[Kang Seok: Omg. confirmed. 3 right?]

[yes. I don’t think it overlaps and it’s okay?]

[Gangseok: Wait, the second one. really do it? really?]

When Kang Seok saw the second list sent by Jae Ik, he was startled and asked back.

There were a lot of contacts that I couldn’t organize yet, but I didn’t know I would choose this one.

[Kangseok: This is a week from now? Can you really do it?]

[Yes, really. as it is. because it sounds like fun And if you have similar content, please organize it and send it to me.]

Regardless of the East and the West, isn’t a surprise always a good thing?

If that’s a surprise for my fans.
