I Only Play Villains

splendid ending (5)

-The staff roll is really long… …

– It seems like the best Korean drama ever hahahahaha

-It’s not over yet hahahaha When the hell will it end hahahaha

-It’s a Korean drama, so why are there so many foreign names?

– There are even Arabic characters in French, German, Japanese, Italian, etc.

-Wait a minute. Surely all the names of the scientists who appeared at the Japan Nuclear Fusion Conference didn’t come out? Aren’t they over a thousand?

– Because they are also performers… …

– I think you’re lucky. At least, the names of the foreign scholars from the last lecture scene did not appear twice because they were duplicated at the conference that day.

-Why is that fortunate?

-Ah ㅠㅠ I was nervous until the end because it was Kim Sang-hee, but Hwang Geon-wook became happy so I took the helm… …

– Author!! You were able to write such a royal story well. Why did you only walk as an apostle? What the heck!

-It was an established theory that he felt sadistic pleasure from forcibly embellishing the apostle content into the main stream because he got tired of handling the typical royal road content when he was a sub writer.

-Professor, in the works of author Kim Sang-hee, he cut his throat, baked his nephew, and rolled wildly, and finally got a reward.

– It’s a bigger deal. Now that I’ve driven you like this this time, I’m already heartbroken about how desperately I’ll roll again in the next work.

-Are you still not getting the highest ratings? The broadcast version must have already spread?

– It’s up, it’s up!

– So how much is it?

“50.1%, Vice President.”

The middle-aged secretary stuttered and reported.

Although he was flustered unlike usual, Vice Chairman Lim Yeon-ok understood that feeling. Even I couldn’t control my excitement, so I wanted to wake up.

I’m just forcibly holding it down because of the vice president’s face.

“50.1% on cable… … .”

“It’s a great record, a great record. Terrestrial daily dramas can no longer see ratings like this. Congratulations.”

Lim Yeon-ok opened and closed her sweaty fists under the desk. I felt like I would scream if I didn’t do this.

An unprecedented record since the founding of CV Channel.

My heart cannot help but tremble as I have dedicated my life to the media content business.

“As long as our broadcasting station exists, it must be a new record that will never be broken, right?”

“It can’t be. If it is a combination of Song Jeong-woo, Kim Sang-hee, and Jeong Seo-hoon, I think they will be able to surpass this too later. It is not a capacity to stop here. In particular, actor Jung Seo-hoon still has room for growth.”

“Actor Jeong Seo-hoon is the perfect type. Still, there is plenty of room for further growth. I admit that too.”

Lim Yeon-ok shook his head slowly.

“But the ratings are different. It’s like a beautiful winning goal. The most beautiful goal that can be left in a player’s lifetime is not made only by the player’s ability.”

Fierce derby matches, poor match conditions, breathless remaining minutes, tired team conditions, and hoarse fans.

And the urgency of not being able to win the trophy if we don’t score one more goal here.

A beautiful goal born from the synergy of such bad luck has a life in itself.

No matter how young, genius, and potential for further development a player is, the guarantee that he will be able to score a more beautiful goal again converges to zero.

“To put it bluntly, this drama was worth hundreds of times more than the value of the work itself.”

The secretary could not offer any rebuttal.

“It is true that it is a good work. I enjoyed it too, and I’m proud of it. However, the reason why I enjoyed this surge in popularity and sales was because the lead actor suddenly turned the drama into a reality documentary.”

“Who would have suddenly imagined that actor Jeong Seo-hoon would announce room-temperature nuclear fusion research during filming? Really, really… … .”

“Is there any actor who suddenly brings the story of a work he is appearing into into reality?”

There were some actors who threw dramas into the gutter by reproducing negative subjects such as affairs, scandals, and drunk driving as they were in reality.

However, the actor who embodied the Nobel Prize in reality will never appear again in human history.

“Actor Jeong Seo-hoon will continue to take better works in the future. Popularity will increase. However, even if you appear as a scientist and aim for the Nobel Prize for research in the work, you will not receive as much attention as Beautiful Campus. It’s a road I’ve already walked once.”

“Certainly, it will be difficult to conduct research beyond cold fusion.”

“Even if a better research is completed, the public will not be as enthusiastic as View Cam because it is a taste they have already experienced. So is the interest of the world.”

Lim Yeon-ok, a non-Korean, could not even imagine what would be a more powerful research item than room-temperature nuclear fusion.

But you can be sure of this.

Jeong Seo-hoon has already given the world a shock that transcends the threshold for scientific achievements.

Unless he builds a time machine, the world will not be thrilled with his progress.

If it’s Jeong Seo-hoon, isn’t that a matter of course?

It’s no big deal.

Do I have to run around with something like that?

Because only such a calm reaction will pour out.

It’s all about public reaction.

“You never know. If you are filming an alien civilization exploration work and suddenly communicate with the alien world in real life, it may attract interest beyond the view cam. But this is too fantasy.”

The shock caused by the 50.1% number has calmed down to some extent. My hands no longer twitch.

Im Yeon-ok finally put her hands on the desk and calmly interlocked them.

“How was the viewcam contract now?”

“We own the domestic TV broadcasting rights, but 100% of the production cost was paid by The King Film. That’s why it’s a revenue share method.”

“Gee, are you saying we didn’t add anything to the production budget?”

“Yes. I offered a guaranteed production cost of 20 billion won, but The King Film rejected it and instead asked for a higher profit share ratio.”

“So all the overseas copyrights must be owned by The King Film, right?”

“That’s right.”

“There’s a lot of money, that company.”

“It is the overwhelming No. 1 among media production companies in Korea. It doesn’t even compare to second place.”

“The capital of 30 billion won is not small, but it is money that runs out quickly once you make one or two works. It seems that he earned quite a bit of money through the extreme.”

“I earned a lot. I am still earning a lot. All that money was poured into the Beautiful Campus, and it was a huge hit that was incomparable to the drama.”

“The world is so unfair. Isn’t it?”

The secretary was embarrassed for a moment at the mischievous question of her boss, who was the size of her eldest sister.

As the daughter of a conglomerate family, her boss, who built a media empire while walking on Royal Road that others could not imagine, would not have said anything.

The boss also knows that, so he must be secretly teasing his subordinates with such a mischievous laugh.

“I heard that Saudi Arabia paid a lot for the broadcasting rights, so should we just suck our fingers and watch it?”

“… … Yes. It’s because the contract is like that.”

“It’s a shame. If we had been forcibly given the production cost of 20 billion won at the beginning, we would have been able to make a bigger profit.”

Even though the secretary distributed profits such as domestic advertisements to the production company, she did not bother to add an excuse that she made the most profit among all the company’s previous dramas.

It is true that the contract was not properly signed in the first place.

Even at the production headquarters, such an invitation would have been unimaginable.

It’s a project that has no way of failing, and the contract is to finance all production costs on its own.

From the broadcasting station’s point of view, they readily accepted it, thinking that net profits were guaranteed anyway, but in hindsight, it was the Mega Million winnings.

“Tell the production headquarters and make sure to take good care of the contract from now on.”

“Yes! I will tell you to secure a certain portion of the work unconditionally!”

“What kind of tricks did the King Film do? The bottom line and the view cam exploded one after another, but wouldn’t the 3rd and 4th ones be 100% self-produced? It’s not like I don’t have money.”

“… … .”

“It means that you should not make unreasonable demands and then take your work to another station, but make up for it in terms of profit ratio, joint business rights for goods, or other external aspects.”

Lim Yeon-ok added nonchalantly.

“The bottom line was originally intended to be filmed at KBC, but what happened when they made an unreasonable offer there? Writer Kim Sang-hee brought the producer and came to our broadcasting station to film it.”

As the right words and reprimands continued, the secretary’s head bowed even more.

“The King Film is no longer just a production company. From now on, think of it as a terrestrial broadcasting station and engage in negotiations. That kind of attitude would be better.”

“I see, Vice President.”

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have paid at that time and not left, and at least had a meal.”

I regret it now, but at the time, that was the correct answer.

It would have been uncomfortable for the PD and writer to have dinner with him, so it was only right to turn around and come out after giving encouragement and payment.

Now, even with the name of CV Cable Vice Chairman, it is burdensome to make an appointment with Jeong Seo-hoon.

* * *

“It’s 50, 50! 50!”

“Aagh! 50.1! Over 50! What nonsense! Seo Hoon, you know that producer Lee Song loves you a lot!”

“Peddy! We are retiring now!”

When Kim Sang-hee, who was drunk and his eyes were open, shouted, Song Jung-woo also shouted with his pupils full of alcohol.

“What are you talking about! Why are you suddenly retiring!”

“When you clap! I have to leave! It’s over 50%! Let’s come down here in style!”

“it! Good! us once! I made a legend! Will it remain as a legend!”

Cha Do-jin, who was relatively normal, nodded from the side.

“Are you okay? A producer and writer who retired in style, leaving behind the legend of the Wailing Wall of 50.1%. The incentives I received through ViewCam are enough to afford me a lifetime of luxury, and money will continue to come in.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Well, no matter what work I shoot from now on, I will continue to be compared to Beautiful Campus, so that choice is not bad at all.”

Cha Do-jin chuckled and bumped into Jeong Seo-hun and beer glasses.

The three of them, Kim Sang-hee, Song Jeong-woo, and Jang Seung-won, had already become drunkards, shouting and singing with each other on their shoulders, reaching the peak of their excitement and drawing a parabola across the continent.

Cha Do-jin muttered quietly.

“Is it a blessing or a curse to leave behind a lifetime of masterpieces?”

“Why are you saying that all of a sudden? Are you drunk?”

“It’s okay to be drunk, and it’s okay to be emotional. It’s honestly like that. It’s a good thing that ViewCam became the producer’s all-time favorite, but the external factors were too big rather than the power of the work itself. Even I, who appeared on the show, felt a bit embarrassed, but what about the two of you?”

At those words, Jeong Seo-hun looked at the three who were intoxicated for a moment and answered.

“You just look excited.”

“Couldn’t it be a defense mechanism to overcome the sense of self-doubt somewhere in the heart?”

“Cha Do-jin, is your defense mechanism working right now?”

“It’s nice, but I feel embarrassed and excited, but I’m ashamed because it feels like I got it for nothing, and it’s complicated in many ways. Since he is an actor who acts himself, he seems to have a slightly different emotional line from the production team.”

Jeong Seo-hoon looked around again.

The actresses, who had been fighting so hard on set, were taking selfies, giving each other encouragement and compliments, cheering each other non-stop, like kittens coming out of a boat, and going out to a club right now for a group drink.

Oh Tae-woo also melted well in that atmosphere, and other middle-aged actors mixed alcohol with pure joy and burned it again and again.

“I think only Do-jin is like that. Everyone just looks happy.”

“No, I’m just happy that people who do popular art are getting caught for nothing… … ! Of course, free is good, but if you like freebies too much, you will unknowingly expect that in your next work, and then you will be disappointed when your report card comes out. isn’t it? Mr. Seo Hoon, isn’t it burdensome to break through the 50% ratings due to this external factor?”

“It’s a personal factor for me.”

“ah… … .”

It is only that Cha Do-jin is relatively less drunk than other people who are drunk, but it is clear that he is not drunk at all.

He looked at Jeong Seo-hoon with blank eyes and quietly held out an empty glass.

“The glass is empty. give me a drink Professor Hwang Kun-wook.”

“Professor Cha Young-woo, let’s not frown alone on this fine day, let’s all enjoy it together. Stop being jealous.”

Cha Do-jin, who swallowed the beer in one gulp, put down the empty glass and murmured.

“Professor Hwang, what are you going to do with your next research? musical? movie? There are a lot of concert rumors coming out from B-Rap these days, or are you doing album activities?”

“First of all, we are reviewing the incoming script and scenario.”

“If you like something, send it to me too. Co-starring in succession is a bit different, and I want to share that jackpot. Oh, but director Jim Wozney hasn’t contacted me yet?”

“I am coming back to Korea this week, would you like to go with me?”

His eyes, as if he had suddenly woken up from alcohol, stared intently at Jeong Seo-hun.

“Really? Are you taking me too? Poetry, wouldn’t it be rude?”

“Director Jim said that he enjoyed watching ViewCam, especially Cha Do-jin. I really want to meet you, but I even asked if there was a way.”

The feeling that spread through the widening pupils was definitely a deep feeling.

Cha Do-jin politely folded his hands.

“Can’t I just call you brother from now on?”

“I’m not the type to put my words down well… … .”

“No, I want to call you brother. My heart is like that now.”

“Can I leave it as a video?”
