I only play villains chapter 60
PD and lower extremity (3)
“Brother, so what? You promised verbally that even teacher Lee Min-soo would appear, but are you saying you’re going to overturn it now?”
Usually, in public, no, even in private, he tries to treat the manager politely, but when he touches the production cost, he has no choice but to become a junior with the heart of a beast.
-Because it’s not. Overturn what is overturned. Why do you keep saying you’re overturning and making a big deal out of it?
“By my standards, that is overthrowing. no, that’s it Manager, it’s a script that writer Kim sharpened and made. You saw the manager too.
– I saw it, I saw it. I’ve seen it all too.
“If you look at 2.5 billion per episode, it’s only 40 billion, but KBC doesn’t have that much money?”
– Hey, the director said that he couldn’t do it even if he died. I thought I would become the director, but they said I was kicked out from the top. For some reason, I felt bad from the moment he suddenly asked me to have a drink.
“You didn’t cut it on the director’s line, did you?”
– It’s not like that. Are you sure. The director also said that the production cost would not be a problem.
If even the director was blacked out, it would be a rejection of approval determined at the strategic planning office level or higher.
As the phone conversation continued, Jang Seung-won’s expression changed to reddish-purple, burned hot like persimmons on fire, lost, then sank to pure white with resignation, and then went through an ever-changing color change.
He looked inside through the window.
The sight of three people holding a script and laughing heartily at what they enjoy so much pierces the heart like an awl.
From the face of Kim Sang-hee, who smiled brightly and without wrinkles, I remembered the image of my wife who was disappointed because she forgot her wedding anniversary and passed by.
Looking at Lee Min-soo’s expression while talking with a benevolent smile reminded me of my father’s purchase of a low-end Android phone without even realizing he wanted a flagship iPhone.
In terms of Jeong Seo-hoon, who never lets go of the script with both hands…
“f*ck me because I’m dirty.”

“But what I’m concerned about is discipline, no, that I might be seen as giving an indulgence to this army of rebels. Isn’t the fact that evil had a good motive for it, giving room for beautification?”
“Don’t worry too much, I’ll take care of that with the script. Even if you look at it like this, I am a descendant of the servant who swept the yard of Prime Minister Kim Jong-seo.”
“this. Writer Kim, you must have come from a small family. So, was your last name Kim?”
Jang Seung-won carefully entered the room, keeping an eye on him.
“Have you been on the phone for a while?”
As soon as you enter, Kim Sang-hee asks like a ghost.
Maybe it was because they were from the same production team, so it was instinctive.
Jang Seung-won tried to look around calmly.
“That older brother was really talkative. I thought it was work again, but he was so proud that his puppy had puppies.”
“Ah, that’s something to brag about for a long time.”
At the same time, Jang Seung-won secretly winked so that only Kim Sang-hee could recognize him.
Of course, Jeong Seo-hoon immediately recognized that glance.
With the spirit of a war hero, he overheard the conversation that had already been made outside, so the wink looked too blatant.
Kim Sang-hee understood it like a ghost and lightly clapped her hands.
“It’s too late. Shall we wrap up and go? PD-nim, you have to go to work tomorrow, but we were holding onto it too much.”
“Oh, is that so? It’s been a while since I hung out with young people, so I was very excited.”
“Oh, I had fun too. Teacher. I will make this place again next time. A few more times before the meeting soon.”
“I see.”
Jeong Seo-hoon confirmed that the PD and the writer secretly exchanged glances.
It seems that the two of you will probably break down and talk separately.
After sending Lee Min-soo first, the producer and writer tried to send Jung Seo-hoon as well.
“When is the manager coming? Does it take 20 minutes?”
“No, I didn’t call.”
“Are you taking a taxi? But now that you have a reputation, why don’t you move around in a van?”
Jang Seung-won showed concern, and Kim Sang-hee also chimed in.
“I do as PD said. Now, Seo Hoon prefers to refrain from taking taxis. Not to mention the bus subway.”
“Are you two going to talk more separately?”
“Nope? We’ll send Seo Hoon off too, and we’ll be back soon.”
“Have you ever had a problem with the organization?”
When Jeong Seo-hoon stabbed him in, Kim Sang-hee was momentarily taken aback.
Jang Seung-won, who glanced at her who couldn’t control her expression, asked with a small sigh.
“Why do you think that all of a sudden?”
“When I received the phone call and came in earlier, PD-nim’s expression was not good. I exchanged glances with the artist, and immediately arranged the seats. So I thought there was a problem.”
“I like quick-witted actors, but this is burdensome because they are so quick-witted.”
Jang Seung-won sighed and scratched his head.
Jung Seo-hoon looked in the direction where Lee Min-soo disappeared and said.
“The teacher seemed to have noticed, but he pretended not to know. That’s how it looked.”
“Tell me honestly. Are you pretending not to know Chae Ji-hyun?”
“I want to know too. Please tell me in a way that is not burdensome.”
“I can’t help it. If you send it back now, you’ll only undermine trust. Let’s go together. Ah, what I said to Seo Hoon, please keep it a secret from the teacher.”
“of course.”
I thought it was just the production crew talking without the actors, but if I had left myself out and only had Jeong Seo-hoon intervened, Min-soo Lee would be saddened.
Better cover this up.
The three of them moved to the nearby cocktail bar of Kim Sang-hee.
Instead of alcohol, I ordered water, a hangover cure, and a drink.
“The Budget Office tackled it.”
“At the Budget Office?”
“Looks like they said they couldn’t match 2.5 billion per episode, so try to set it to 1.8 billion.”
“No, with 1.8 billion won, who wants to stick it on their nose? Don’t you know that it’s a trend these days that production costs of blockbuster dramas are skyrocketing? What if I’m filming a trendy historical drama and I don’t know the trend?”
Jang Seung-won couldn’t bring himself to say, ‘1.8 billion per episode is a lot.’
Because Kim Sang-hee was greedy, the production cost was a bit high.
With just the three of Kim Sang-hee, Jeong Seo-hoon, and Lee Min-soo, the synagogue’s production cost of over 300 million is confirmed…
‘Still, I’ll have to think about making profits.’
Illegal has already recovered production costs, and is steadily extracting money from overseas copyrights, music distribution, reruns, and replay services.
The writer who carried the drama and the main actors came together again, and even with the success of the storage room on their backs, there is no choice but to succeed unconditionally.
‘These bastards. It’s not the time to save money, it’s the time to get hold of it somehow.’
It’s not the director’s fault or the director’s fault.
They did their best, but they probably couldn’t overcome the wall of office politics.
That’s why it’s more f*cked up, and I feel dirty.
“Then the organization is overturned?”
Kim Sang-hee’s calm voice gave Jang Seung-won goosebumps as if he had been splashed with cold water.
He waved his hand desperately.
“Fall down. What a big deal to tell me. The arrangement is unconditional. I just came here to cut a little bit of the budget.”
“That’s what spilling over.”
Jang Seung-won made an effort to smile while feeling a sense of deja vu.
“I will do my best to cover the production cost of 2.5 billion won per synagogue. Don’t worry.”
“Isn’t there a way if the Budget Office doesn’t give money? It’s not like they’re going to steal it from other drama centers.”
“If necessary, take the blood of a brother. Shouldn’t I live first?”
“Did you see it, Mr. Seohun? This is the world of crafting. Even if you reach the pinnacle of acting later and have nothing to do, never come here and stay there. I will only act until I die.”
Jang Seung-won had to face the tension again before he had time to soften at the joke Kim Sang-hee threw at Jeong Seo-hoon.
“Is there any more realistic way?”
“First of all, I would like to look into OTT production cost support. If this is a piece of art, everyone will drool and rush at it. Beyond that, we will keep the possibilities open and find a way.”
“You must be having a lot of trouble, PD.”
There was no concern or worry in Jang Seung-won’s ears.
It sounded like unspoken pressure to earn production money by running around hard and struggling.

Next day.
Jeong Su-ryun made a request before leaving.
“I’m just looking at it lightly, I’m sorry. You don’t know how people at your agency feel. I will never sign a contract today, so don’t give me any words.”
“Am I stupid? Don’t worry.”
The siblings and manager Ha Tae-soo headed to a Korean restaurant in Gangnam that they had booked.
Two neat-looking men who were sitting in the private room got up and greeted me.
“This is team leader So Tae-seok. Nice to meet you.”
“This is Chief Kim Jung-min.”
The two men gently led the conversation with a mixture of praise and appreciation for the appearance.
The content of the contract was not mentioned throughout the meal.
They actively appealed for their sales skills, actor care skills, and that they had maintained long-term contracts with their actors.
“If you let us know how you were treated and contracted in the sequel to the storage room, it would be of great help to us in adjusting the contract treatment. If it’s burdensome, you don’t have to say anything.”
“I received more than class A treatment.”
Instead of saying S-class treatment, Jeong Su-ryun explained by turning it into ‘A-class or higher’.
Whether that was industry practice, the two men knew right away.
“If you want to sign a contract right away, we can guarantee an 85% rate for the down payment of 2 billion won. Of course, the fee for appearing in a work with weak mechanics is, of course, all the responsibility of the actor.”
“Is it possible to take 100% of the appearance fee with no down payment? It’s just a way of sharing the additional profits.”
“Of course, we will actively consider it.”
The two men never lost their smiles and tranquility.
After the meal, Jung Soo-ryun asked in the car on the way back.
“how was it?”
“It’s calm. people.”
“Is that all?”
“What more do you need?”
“Anyway, I guess I really want to do it with you. But roughly, I think your average ransom in the agency market is exactly this.”
“How much?”
“I’ve been treated more than A-class once, but it’s still ambiguous to fix it as A-class? I think so. In the lower drama, if you explode just one more time in that fusion historical drama, your grade will be fixed at A or higher.”
Ha Tae-soo, who was driving, helped out in front.
“I don’t see the need to sign a contract right away. Appearance in the drama is also confirmed, but let’s just go leisurely. You don’t have to have an agency now.”
“Still, I roughly estimated the ransom the agencies think, so there was a harvest.”
When I returned home, my parents, who had been waiting for me, quickly asked.
“What does the agency say?”
“It’s not an agency yet, it’s just an agency. You have to sign a contract to enter the agency. They say they will give you 85% of the down payment of 2 billion won.”
“Are you just giving that 2 billion, or are you subtracting it?”
“Of course it’s a deduction.”
My father, Jeong Tae-hyeon, felt sorry for him.
“Aren’t you bound for the rest of your life and only paying off your debts? As expected, actors are still hungry in Korea, right? Our Seohun, please do well in this drama.”
“Dad, the last drama and this movie did very well.”
“So, did you get 100 million from those two together?”
“Uh… 60.8 million won? Is that enough?”
“Look at that. Whether it’s good or bad, in the end, I’m talking with the money I received. Didn’t you do only good things twice?”
“Ah, rookies are like that. That’s why the sequel to the storage room and the lower drama went in after being treated as S-class.”
“But you said you don’t know when it’s going to go in because of the production cost? And don’t you have to go into filming to get paid for your appearance?”
“That’s what happens all the time on this floor. Still, since PD Jang Seung-won, writer Kim Sang-hee, and teacher Lee Min-soo are there, I’ll be able to get in quickly.”

“Then we will wait for good results.”
“thank you.”
After a cautious meeting, PD Jang Seung-won silently cheered with his fists clenched on the way back.
The steps back to the broadcasting station could not have been so light.
I spent the whole day happily planning and planning how to direct the drama.
When it was time to leave work, I got a call from Manager Yang Joon-gyu.
[Yanghyung] Let’s have a drink. Come to Izakaya.
I looked at the clock and it was 8pm.
Jang Seung-won frowned and finished what he was doing.
“Oh really. I’m busy, so why don’t we drink again…”
He left the broadcasting station grumbling and headed to the izakaya he often went to with Yang Jun-gyu.
Yang Jun-kyu had already drank a glass of beer after ordering snacks.
“Hyung, no, boss. Why are you calling a busy person at such an early hour for a drink?”
“men and horses. It’s past 8 o’clock now.”
“It’s just lunch time. I’ll just do it for a drink.”
While eating food and talking about going back to the broadcasting station like a routine, Yang Jun-kyu suddenly asked.
“You said you met the Net Prime kids today? Is it because of the drama production?”
“Wow, creepy. What kind of rumors are so fast?”
“f*ck. How could you do this?”
“Oh, they say I have no money.”
“men and horses! 1.8 billion per episode is absolutely not a small amount! It’s not even worth adding CG to historical dramas!”
“Are you going to do a lot of painting on props, painting on art, painting on sets, painting on extras?”
“Are you going to go downhill now?”
“Yes, I will take a picture of the bottom line. why?”
“No, not that extreme. kid.”
