All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent - All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent chapter 186
186. When was it not?
Theme parks were not at a level that could be easily developed like writing a work.
It was a long and huge project that required at least 10 years from discussion to completion.
We had to plan what kind of theme park to build, what kind of points to use and what kind of hill to move to, and we had to create attractions to fill it.
It is not an attraction that everyone else has, but an attraction unique to Challenge Everything. Otherwise, there would be no reason for visitors to come here.
A huge amount of time, money, and manpower goes into designing and constructing the attraction. In particular, it was natural that the safety of the passengers depended on it, so it was natural to be more careful.
Considering all of these things, it was not even a penny or two.
It will depend on how big and how diverse the theme parks are built, but it was a theme park where trillions of dollars would go into a rough estimate.
Expenses such as labor costs that enter as the theme park is operated are also expected to be formidable.
In a word, it was a project that Jaeik could never do alone. That one person manages and manages more than 10 trillion won and pays for the labor cost?
Of course, I could do it if I asked to do it, but it was definitely not a problem of one or two years.
The size of the company will also have to be dozens of times larger than it is now.
(A theme park? It won’t be easy.)
At the word theme park, the people in the conference room hardened their faces and looked at Jaeik. Because they knew the difficulties of building a theme park.
(Besides, basically, theme parks are family units. Especially, content for young children is important.)
At Reed Hastings’ words, Jaeik nodded and turned the PPT to the next page.
(That’s why Challenge Everything is planning to start producing content for children in earnest in the future. Me, to be precise. Didn’t you confirm that Ricky’s story already has potential in the content market for children? And I think I will do all of that production. no see.)
(Hmm. Even if you can’t do it, you have to wait for at least 5 years to build a theme park. Do you have plans for all of these parts in which area you plan to build in? It won’t be easy no matter where you build it. Even though the US already has a large population, Digiland already has a tight grip on it. I mean.)
(Absolutely.)
Jaeik pointed to a section of the map.
(It is planned to be built in Korea.)
(In Korea? A theme park?)
Some people reacted skeptically, but in Jaeik’s opinion, it was the best choice.
Except for Europe, where there is no connection, the options are the United States and Korea.
There are already too many theme parks in the US, and Dizzy was holding on tight. You can build it if you want to build it, but for some reason I didn’t like it. After the success of the theme park built in Korea later, I wonder if I will build a second one in the United States.
On the contrary, I thought that Korea is a pretty attractive market. First of all, it basically had the advantage of being able to cover all of Asia. There were large theme parks in Japan and Hong Kong, but there was enough space for the Challenge Everything theme park.
Besides, there are only three theme parks in Korea.
(No, that’s right. Looking at Asia as a whole, it’s rather not a bad choice.)
Sean O’Connell gave a positive sign to Jaeik’s selection. Even if investment is the second problem, Jaeik’s nationality is Korea.
(But funding must be a problem. I guess we gathered here to discuss financing. Like an investment proposal. Whether or not to be in this game.)
Even if it is not listed, it is possible to secure funds through stocks. Because Challenge Everything was worth that much. Or, there was a way for Jae-Ik to write down the work like crazy. Right now, isn’t it hundreds of billions of money earned from the world alone? The money was growing in real time.
Besides, the second part of Ricky’s story will be fully captured as profit.
(Let’s think about it seriously. It’s not a bad suggestion.)
Detective wasn’t in a bad situation if they could participate with a stake and put Detective’s brand into the theme park.
Since I started making collaboration works while renewing my contract with Jaeik, there was enough reason to enter. In other words, it was an opportunity for them to create a theme park with Bubbles as well.
(We’ll think about it too. We don’t think it’s bad either.)
The positive thing is that Mflix is the same.
I couldn’t give a definite answer here because I couldn’t decide on something like investing in a theme park on my own, but it was important that the representatives of each company had a good impression.
Isn’t the beginning of anything important?
In many ways, the beginning wasn’t bad.
—
Just because it wasn’t confirmed, I couldn’t let go until a decision was made. that’s how it is Shouldn’t I prepare something myself?
“what?”
“Should I go back to college…?”
“Are you insane? No, weren’t you expelled from college?”
“Isn’t it expulsion due to bad school? Not Korean universities. American university side. I just want to listen to the lecture.”
“Why is Cheonggang suddenly?”
“To make a better theme park?”
I was probably aware that American universities have a system whereby you can listen to lectures for a certain amount even if you are not affiliated with a university, and I was thinking of taking a look at it.
“By the way, do you have a theme park design department or something like that in the US?”
“Is it possible? But I don’t intend to take any of that stuff, I’m just going to take some engineering classes.”
First of all, you have to find out, but Jaeik thought that there was no need to find and take classes related to theme park planning.
With the talent you already digested, you should be able to handle the theme park planning part enough. And rather than taking classes, I thought to visit various theme parks in the US.
You will be able to digest more by experiencing and feeling the talent you have already digested than in class.
“What? engineering side? Even design rides?”
“Of course you learn to do that. Or what are you going to do with all this trouble?”
Kang Seok shook his head at Jaeik’s easy-to-understand appearance.
Designing rides all of a sudden. Besides, I would like to be able to make one just by attending an engineering class.
“no. It has professional designers. Would it be enough if I asked you to draw a ride you want?”
“Even if I leave the details to the company, I need to know the big picture so that I can coordinate it.”
“That is also a disease. it’s sick Trying to get involved in everything in detail. Even while learning.”
“Uh huh. it’s sick No oh oh oh power. And if I ask you to draw a picture, what do you do? First of all, I need to know if it is feasible.”
As Seok Kang said, the safety of the passengers. Or, since it is related to life, of course Jaeik had no intention of designing and constructing it in all parts.
At least, you need to have the ability to figure out whether or not you can actually build the attraction in your head, and to inspect whether or not it is built properly.
Of course, I thought to leave the detailed design to a professional company. because it’s safe
“It is the utmost sincerity. Do you study engineering for that? You are Mungwa, Mungwa.”
Kang Seok was just saying that while he was talking. Where has this happened once or twice?
Seeing him so confident again this time, it’s clear that he will show something ridiculous.
“When wasn’t that?”
“but. I’ll check out the Cheonggang side. Please tell me if there are any classes you would like to take.”
“OK. thank you.”

After Kang-seok left, Jae-ik floated a white piece of paper on the monitor screen.
In Korea, many people think of a theme park as a playground with rides, but a theme park was literally a space with a theme.
I thought this was related to the desire of the visitors to revisit soon. Dizzy has the theme of dreams, fairy tales, and imagination, while Universal has the theme of movies.
“Challenge Everything Universe.”
The theme of the space created by Jaeik was simple. Challenge Everything Universe. To explore everything in it and to make the theme park, at least, make the audience feel like they are in the world.
That was the most basic subject.
“There must be a room for children, obviously.”
As pointed out last time, since many of Jaeik’s works were aimed at adults, there were obviously many aspects that were inappropriate for children to enjoy. So, the theme park was based on the idea of taking Ricky’s story. In addition, there are additional works to be planned.
What adults enjoy, children do not enjoy. But what kids enjoy, adults can enjoy too.
It was an answer that came out just by comparing Ricky’s story with the purchasing age group in the behind the scenes.
The big frame feels like Digi, and the details are like Universal.
As shown at this convention and as the theme is, the theme park must be the world within the Challenge Everything universe.
Jaeik started drawing a bird’s eye view of the theme park he had in mind on a piece of white paper.
The new IP to be created in the future was already conceived in my head to some extent.
A total of 8 zones. And each district was organically connected, but considering the situation like a parade, I thought to connect each district with one big road.
Costume players were planned to be placed in each area, and a small event was planned to be held on the street, just like the convention.
The space was larger than a convention, and at the same time, there were children in the theme park, so we planned to use the center stage to show something like a play.
Imaginations in my head filled the white paper. It was a bird’s eye view, but I filled in the blanks very meticulously as if drawing a picture.
What Jaeik is drawing now is not just a bird’s eye view or painting, but a dream.
It is a dream that will come true in the future.
—
“Looks great.”
A week later. Kang Seok admired the paintings that filled one wall of Jaeik’s office.
The picture of the dream I drew that day was printed in a size large enough to cover one wall and hung on it.
It was to the extent that every person going to work looked at the painting at least once because of how great the painting was.
“Over.”
“No, it’s not a real painting, but it looks like a photograph? All the staff say the same thing.”
“Anyway, that’s it. He said he had something to say because of what he asked the other day.”
“Ahh. right. Once I got permission to audition. You pay a certain amount per class. Except for some professors who don’t allow it? Los Angeles Institute of Technology. You were pretty famous There’s even an attraction design class you’ve been wanting so much for.”
“okay? That would be fun. It doesn’t matter which class, right?”
“yes. Except for the professor lectures I write down. Because it’s literally blue. I do not care. Because I’ve already talked to the school side. Anyway, there is some time until the semester starts.”
“okay?”
There will be a lot of things you need to learn in advance to take the class.
If it was engineering, it was in the field of science, and he himself was in the liberal arts. Literature gave up science because it was not good at math.
“It will be fun.”
A smile spread across his lips at the anticipation of learning something new.
