Became a Genius Writer the Popular Actresses Is Obsessed With

3 – You are quite young

What does it mean when stock prices are falling?

It means that the situation there is not so good.

Recently, just looking at the stock price graph of a drama production company called ‘Studio Enmix’ shows that tendency.

At one time, it was a national production company that pulled out viewer ratings like soup, but at some point, it became a mediocre production company.

There may be many reasons for this, but the biggest reason was that the drama market is generally in a downward trend these days.

The public’s perception of the drama gradually began to change negatively as various problems such as the obvious and banal storyline, incomprehensible suffocation, and the PPL problem that broke the flow were overlapped.

Studio Enmix, which would have been on the verge of collapse like other production companies, hurriedly figured out the problems in the current situation.

From the continuation of the obvious and trite story that can be said to be the most primitive problem.

This was a problem that arose because, like all production companies, the screenwriters who were bound by contract kept creating new works.

In other words, in order to solve this problem, we need to find an artist with outstanding talent who can break the existing mold.

For this reason, Studio Enmix hurriedly opened the contest with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.

Meanwhile……

Inside an office at Studio N Mix.

“Me, PD. Aren’t you watching too hard?”

“Maknae, as you know, if we can’t find this, it really is the end.”

Director Youngjin Na, general manager of Planning and Production Team 1, has been staring at the monitor since the moment she went to work in the morning.

There are already dozens of energy drinks and coffee cups piled on the desk.

People in the content operation team, the planning and production team 2, and the human resources team are no different.

“Still, it seems fortunate that more than 400 works have been applied for this contest.”

“Well, the question is how many of them contain good content.”

The youngest member of Planning and Production Team 1, Cho Yong-seok, let out a sigh of relief, but Na Young-jin did not look very happy.

What they need right now is quality, not quantity.

The purpose of this contest was to find one special work rather than 400 halfway works.

Still, as the youngest said, it was quite meaningful that 400 works were submitted within 5 days of the contest starting.

As the drama market is in a down market, scriptwriters are also losing their jobs, so it was a job that is not very favored these days.

The fact that most of the story writers who were affiliated with Studio Enmix also canceled their contracts showed how bleak the current drama market is.

“Anyway, youngest child, if you don’t want to lose your decent job, read all the scripts submitted as carefully as possible.”

“Don’t worry. We have already confirmed and eliminated about 20 people today alone.”

Cho Yong-seok said a bloody story casually.

Na Young-jin, who saw it, smiled bitterly and started looking at the scripts of the submitters again.

“Um…… ?”

At that time, Jo Yong-seok, who was sitting in the seat next to him and checking the script, tilted his head as if wondering.

“What’s wrong?”

“Yes. Among those who participated in the contest, there was only one person who did not follow the submission form properly.”

“Which part did I break?”

“Originally, the author’s real name should be written in the signature line, but this person unusually used the pseudonym 「927」.”

“…… That’s kind of weird too.”

Originally, artists are authors who strongly want their three-letter name to appear in their works.

It won’t be much different even if you’re an aspiring writer.

“First of all, you will be eliminated because you broke the rules, but out of etiquette, read the script at least once.”

“Ah, that’s definitely true.”

Cho Yong-seok smiled carefreely and began to slowly read the script of the submitter who broke the rules.

However, Na Young-jin immediately felt puzzled by Jo Yong-seok’s actions.

It was because even though 1 minute passed, 5 minutes passed, and 10 minutes passed, the youngest’s monitor screen did not even think to move from the script.

“Me, my PD!”

At that time, Jo Yong-seok hurriedly tapped Na Young-jin on the shoulder.

As the youngest, whose only strength was his coolness and composure, suddenly made a fuss, Na Young-jin was also taken aback.

“What’s wrong this time?”

“…… I can’t possibly explain it in words. Just read it once and you will find out for yourself.”

As Cho Yong-seok left his seat with an expression as if he was compelled, Na Young-jin had no choice but to sit down and read the script of the contestant who broke the rules.

[Welcome to Cafe Violet]

First of all, the title was unusual, but what was even more novel was the story.

Reincarnation…… ?

Did you think of connecting a concept used in Buddhism to a drama?

The story was also strangely exciting by combining it with the material of longing, and thanks to that, the curiosity about the past story of the main characters ‘Winter’ and ‘Ha On’ was amplified.

In addition, what was even more surprising was the lively lines of the main actors.

Even just reading the text like this, I naturally imagined the movements of the actors, their way of speaking, their emotions, and even the background they were standing in.

However, the excitement was short-lived, and when Na Young-jin saw her script scroll all the way down, she fell into deep regret.

“…… Youngest, why did we limit the number of characters?”

“I agree. The submitted form is roughly the length of four episodes, but I’m already curious about the content behind it.”

Na Young-jin strongly sympathized with Cho Yong-seok’s low words.

“This is my very personal opinion, PD, but I think the purpose of this contest has been achieved.”

“Yes, I agree. Let me tell the director once.”

So, Na Young-jin hurriedly printed the script in question on A4 paper and ran to the director’s office located at the top of Studio Enmix’s head office building.

***

The hand of Director Park Yong-oh of Studio Enmix, who held the script in his hand, vibrated violently.

I’ve been producing dramas for decades, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a script that’s as interesting as this.

No, it wasn’t just fun, it was a touching script that healed the heart itself.

Honestly, I’m going crazy because I’m curious about who’s brain suddenly popped up with a script like this.

Director Park Yong-oh’s head turned quickly. He already had a picture in his head of the process when he dramatized this script.

First of all, the production cost for this film was quite cheap, probably because the writer thought about the circumstances of the production company.

The main setting for this script is a cafe.

This meant that most of the filming was done on one set only.

I didn’t even have to make grand and splendid productions. Originally, in order to create such a fantasy-like production, CG had to be attached, so it cost a lot of money.

In conclusion, this script that I am holding in my hands right now is a perfect script that captures all three rabbits: fun, emotion, and production cost.

In an instant, a smile crept across Director Park Yong-oh’s lips. He urgently asked Na Young-jin, who was standing in front of him.

“Youngjin, who wrote this?”

“I still don’t know who the artist is. That is the script submitted for this contest.”

“Is this the contestant’s work? Heh heh, a ridiculous monster suddenly appeared. First of all, bring this person to me right now. Hurry up and proceed with the contract.”

Park Yong-oh thought.

…… You must hold on to this unconditionally.

Of course, there was no way that a famous writer would submit such a masterpiece to a contest. It’s a story that can be dramatized in an instant just by approaching the PD in charge and sneakily showing that it’s a new work, so why bother?

Then, it means that the writer who wrote this script is a genius writer who appeared like a comet in the drama market during the dark period.

Park Yong-oh had no intention of missing such a precious stone.

“…… Aren’t you being too hasty?”

“Arthur, there is no need for long words. If you had read the script, wouldn’t you have roughly felt it? Even if you just make it roughly, it will be great.”

“Okay. For now, we will aim to keep in touch with you today, and we will be able to serve him tomorrow.”

“Okay. Perfect.”

Director Park Yong-oh smiled at Na Young-jin’s reassuring plan.

***

Back at the office, Na Young-jin checked the phone number written on the submitted form and then called.

Too woo woo.

─The connected person’s phone is turned off, so after the beep sound……

However, Na Young-jin made a puzzled expression when he heard that the other person’s phone was turned off.

Since then, I have tried to make calls almost every 30 minutes, but for some reason the phone has been turned off.

I wondered if I had sent the wrong number, so I sent an e-mail, but there was no reply.

Na Young-jin became more and more nervous, but the only thing left for him was to continue making calls while praying for the other person’s phone to turn on.

It must have been around 3:30 PM after all that time…….

Tru ruru ruru─

After 5 hours, I heard the first proper connection tone.

At that sound, Na Young-jin, who had almost given up, jumped up from her chair and grabbed the phone with both hands.

“Please take it!!!”

The call was connected at once, as if his earnestness had gone through.

— … Hello?

But Na Young-jin immediately felt strange.

It was because of the voice coming through the speaker.

A low-pitched voice somewhere.

It was as if the transition period hadn’t passed yet.

Na Young-jin erased her question from her mind and immediately brought her to her senses.

‘Yes! He might have a slightly unusual voice.’ She decided to think as positively as possible.

“Hello. My name is Na Young-jin, PD of Studio Enmix Planning and Production Team 1. Excuse me, did you apply under the name 「927」 For our contest?”

─Ah…… Competition. Yes. I am the “927”. Is something wrong?

“Ah, it’s a problem because it went so well. Our director read the writer’s script and shed tears and said he wanted to see his face right away. Are you available tomorrow by any chance?”

— … Are you asking for a random date? Isn’t it a new type of voice phishing or just 19 gold?

“hahahaha. Even now, I am willing to go to the author and give him a business card. If you take a picture of the location, I will go right away.”

─Ah, there’s no need to do that, I’ll believe it for now. You mean you liked my script anyway?

“Yes. The part I want to talk about is…… “

─Hey, Eunwoo Seo! The test was over yesterday, but the PC bang?

At that moment, Na Young-jin’s eyes widened at another voice coming through the speaker.

The reason he was surprised was that he heard several words that he couldn’t understand.

Seo Eun-woo?

Na Yeong-jin, quick-witted, could roughly guess that this stone character was the real name of the author of 927.

However, the problem was that since the exam was over, let’s go to the internet café.

Thanks to that, an ominous thought passed through Na Young-jin’s head.

He opened his mouth cautiously, praying that the absurd idea in his head would turn out to be wrong.

“I…… 927 Author. Excuse me, but could I ask your age?”

─Ah…… How old are you?

The other party who heard Na Young-jin’s question did not immediately answer as if he was worried about something.

However, after a while, he barely answered with a slightly strained tone.

─I’m 15 years old.

At first, Na Young-jin only thought he heard something wrong.

However, when he checked again, he could hear the additional confirmation that he was a second year middle school student.

“Ha ha ha… …. You are quite young.”

In the end, Na Young-jin realized that everything was real and quietly closed her eyes as if resigned.

The genius writer who appeared like a comet is 15 years old.

That is also limited by the Labor Standards Act2.

If the director found out about this, I wondered if she would shed tears of emotion.
