A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 45
On the last day of the Chuseok holiday, CEO Lee Kun-heung, Chief Jang Hyuk-soo, director Oh Sang-sik, and I gathered in the VIP room on the 9th floor of Forest Enter to watch the third episode of Barkermo.
All the escalating incidents and conflicts are resolved, and finally the final scene.
On a clear autumn day, Chaerin stands in front of the black and white porch holding a cleaning tool. As the leaves blown by the wind brush past her toes, she feels the sunlight breaking through her fingertips and takes a deep breath.
Chaerin ties her hair up and lifts up the glass washer.
With a refreshing smile, I vigorously wipe the windshield.
for a long time,
‘Jungwoo’ is reflected through the cleaned windows. ‘Chaerin’ turns around with a happy face.
‘Jung-woo’ brings out a bunch of roses hidden in the back dance.
She is happy to see the flowers.
Chaerin: Oh, it’s pretty.
Jungwoo: I’m too nervous to confess. (Raising the rose) I hope it helps.
Chaerin: (takes one step closer) Shall we guess what kind of confession it is?
Jungwoo: No. Then it’s not a confession.
Chaerin smiles slightly. Seeing that, Jung-woo gains courage.
Jungwoo: (holding out a rose as if asking for it)… I love you. Chaerin Mr.
Chaerin: Since when?
Jungwoo: From the moment I first saw you. I think it was with the smell of coffee back then…
Soft Piano OST.
The ending credits go up as ‘Chaerin’ achieves a love line with ‘Jungwoo’.

“Um, that’s good. It’s good.”
“Ah, it’s a well-made drama.”
“I really enjoyed watching it.”
“The script, directing, and acting triplex fit perfectly.”
Even after each of us shared our thoughts, CEO Lee Kun-heung continued to praise me.
“Our writer Jaeho Yoon. If it hadn’t been for writer Yoon’s script in the first place, I wouldn’t have thought of this achievement. Episode 1 7.4%, episode 2 10.3%. To set an unprecedented viewership record and to finish it so neatly.”
“Oh, no. The CEO actively supported me, and in particular, director Oh Sang-sik did a great job directing it. I am truly grateful.”
“The script was so good that I couldn’t even say that I was going to fail.”
The three of us were busy arguing and praising each other, and Director Jang Hyuk-soo was busy checking the final ratings.
In fact, our eyes, who were spreading the praise relay, were always attached to Jang Hyuk-soo.
After turning the pages of the pad screen, Jang Hyuk-soo finally,
“Hey! This, this, this.”
started to admire.
Each of us could have watched the ratings directly on our cellphones, but we just looked at Jang Hyuk-soo’s mouth. I think it would be more dramatic.
“Is this right for my eyes right now? under.”
Jang Hyuk-soo, who cannot easily announce the results, rubs his eyes again and again and burns our mourning.
“How many shows did you come out with?”
“…”
“Oh, why aren’t you talking?”
CEO Lee Kun-heung, who had melted all the sweet sauce, was even stingy, unlike usual. Then, Hyuk-soo Jang shouted as if he couldn’t believe it.
“14.1%!!. 14.1% came out. You are the representative!!”
“14.1? Is 14.1 really out?”
“yes. Check and check, yes.”
Oh Sang-sik went next to Jang Hyuk-soo and put his eyes on the pad screen. It’s like you can’t believe it unless you see it yourself.
“It’s true. How… how did this happen? Chuseok special drama 14.1%? Wow.”
“Ahahahaha.”
“Khahaha.”
“Uh-huh.”
At that moment, no one else, we all laughed with our mouths wide open. Because that was the only way to express joy, surprise, and joy.
My joy was indescribable.
‘Oh, that’s a lot. I expected a plus alpha to come out of the expected audience rating of 12.7%, but I thought it was going to come out at the maximum of 1%, but more came out… Let’s see, then, the points I will be paid today are… 1410 points. Assarabia~.’
“Pu ha ha ha ha ha~”
I was so excited at the thought of getting points that I laughed the hardest.
Seeing that, CEO Lee Kun-heung said.
“Our writer is the happiest.”
“Yes, I am very happy. Well… oh, you got an incentive. Remember the incentive clause when you signed the contract? CEO.”
I couldn’t say I was happy because of the points, so I covered it up with incentives. Of course, I was happy enough to receive an incentive.
“Of course I remember. I will deposit 30 million won right away by tomorrow morning.”
“hahaha. thank you I will use it usefully for writing.”
We laughed for so long.
Now, CEO Lee Kun-heung has laid the foundation for Forrest’s growth as a drama production company, and Director Jang Hyuk-soo has immediately gained strength to produce opal wine, and director Oh Sang-sik has once again established his position as a drama director.
I, Yoon Jae-ho, what can I say?
Since I started working, I became the best writer.
just be grateful
We couldn’t hold back and laughed until the last bit before we were able to start the first unofficial meeting of ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞.
CEO Lee Kun-heung opened his mouth first, soothing his heavy heart.
“This is the beginning. The success of Bakamo has provided a foundation, but how can we use this foundation to achieve greater results… Let’s discuss it together.”
“First, we have to pour all of Forrest’s capabilities into the right arm corporation.”
“right. Now is the time to run.”
“I am, Writer Yoon Jae-ho.”
Director Jang Hyuk-soo called me with enthusiasm.
“Yes, chief.”
“How many episodes did the script come out?”
Honey drips from the eyes of Jang Hyuk-soo looking at me.
“yes. I finished writing by the 12th episode.”
I took the scripts up to episode 12 I finished yesterday out of my bag and put them on the table. It was quite heavy because there were so many pieces.
“As always, I can’t help but be amazed at the speed of the author’s writing. You don’t even have an assistant writer yet.”
CEO Lee Kun-heung tried to read the script, but put it down again.
“You can read it now.”
“I will read it after the meeting. Once I read it, I can’t help but wonder about the next part. After the meeting, I will read it leisurely.”
“Ahahaha, that’s right, CEO. Once you touch the author’s writing, you can’t stop. I will also read it after the meeting.”
Jang Hyuk-soo agreed with CEO Lee’s words and laughed out loud once more.
“Then I will see first. I am so curious that I can’t stand it.”
However, director Oh Sang-sik had a different idea. I’ve been curious about it since episode 6, but there was no reason to reject the hot script that just came out.
“Yes, then, look at the bishop first.”
“Read first.”
“yes.”
Oh Sang-sik became the first guest of the crisp script and turned the first page. And I started to look at my feelings, passing them around so as not to get in the way.
The production meeting continued under the leadership of this representative.
“Anyway, if you look at episode 6, you can see the scale of the production… How much does Director Jang think about the production cost?”
“That’s… I think… about…”
“Yeah, about…”
“I think it will be around 15 billion. Wouldn’t it be enough to add another 3 billion won to that?”
Jang Hyuk-soo put his head aside and rolled his eyes upwards, calling out the amount he was thinking of.
But by my calculations,
’15 billion. ugh. Little.’
It was absurd.
Because opal juice becomes a complete block burst from episode 7 of ‘Jung Joo-hak’.
Jang Hyuk-soo, who has not read the script yet, may not know.
But it needs to be fixed quickly. Before the misunderstanding deepens.
“Can I say something?”
“yes. Author. Please speak.”
Jang Hyuk-soo still looked at me with honey dripping eyes.
“It seems that the production cost calculation is wrong.”
“Ah, what I just said is an approximate amount. Author. Of course, you can go up or go down as you build. Of course I won’t go down.”
“That’s true… but I think it’s a little bit wrong…”
“yes? How much did you do?”
Well.
Clear your throat once,
“As you would know if you read the script from episode 7, the scale of Opalju gets bigger towards the second half. The actual organization of Right Arm Co., Ltd. is revealed, the headquarters of Obulsanshin comes out, there are many explosion scenes using high-tech equipment, the middle of the city has to be rented, and a lot of extras disguised as zombies are needed. When I think of the final goal of the villain Jung Joo-hak… Ah!!”
Jang Hyuk-soo swallowed dry saliva.
Thinking? so how much?
“It easily exceeds 25 billion.”
“25 billion?”
“yes. At least that too.”
The honey disappeared from Jang Hyuk-soo’s expression. In an instant, the production cost increased by 10 billion won.
It was good that you had a good laugh earlier.
He became the face of a man who seemed to have never smiled in his life and made an expression of ‘Where do you get that money from?’
‘Chief, it seems you’re a little excited…Ah, I should say a little roundabout, was it too fastball?’
while I hesitate,
“It won’t be possible even with 25 billion. You will have to think about 30 billion.”
Suddenly, director Oh Sang-shik, who was only handing over the script, interrupted.
He really casually called 30 billion won.
‘phew.’
I escaped Jang Hyuk-soo’s gaze. Now, all of Jang Hyuk-soo’s eyes were turned on Oh Sang-shik.
Oh Sang-sik, not knowing what the atmosphere was like because he was only thinking about directing, kept talking without notice.
“We have to save 30 billion won. Helicopters should also be launched to blow up cars, and it would be cool if the windshields of shopping malls were blown up. In addition, if there are about 300 zombie humans brainwashed by Jeong Ju-hak, no, about 500 people. ya kill it I wouldn’t envy Hollywood…”
“Yes, I mean… that’s it.”
I expressed a small agreement with his opinion, and Director Jang Hyuk-soo asked, somewhat dejected.
“Is there any way to reduce it?”
“no. It’s a plate to save 30 billion won. The more you lift, the less you can reduce it.”
Oh Sang-sik did not make a single concession.
“Chief Zhang, what is so serious? When it costs money, you have to listen to it.”
Around that time, CEO Lee Kun-heung stepped forward.
“The success of Barcomo will have to attract some investors, but if it’s such a large amount of money…”
“It’s a start now. If you bump into it, you’ll find the answer. There should be no damage to the quality of the work because of the production cost.”
“All right. CEO.”
The atmosphere of the meeting was all over the place.
‘It’s not easy from the first meeting.’
My heart also became a little heavy. Although I firmly believe that it is an opal that will double the production cost,
However, 30 billion is not ridiculous right now.
CEO Lee Kun-heung continued talking as if he had read my expression.
“The specifics will be decided by the board of directors, but everyone will have no objections as they have already sufficiently demonstrated their capabilities through Vackermo. Obviously, the executives will also turn to actively support opal. So, our writer, please do not worry about the production cost and just finish the script.”
“Ah yes.”
Leaving aside the issue of production costs, the short meeting ended like that.
CEO Lee Kun-heung and Chief Jang Hyuk-soo said they had something to talk about and moved.
Director Oh Sang-shik and I decided to have our own meeting.
“The company is too strict, and there is a cafe I know well. Can I go there?”
“Is that the cafe where you first found Ji So-yeong?”
“yes. you’re right. You remember.”
“I wanted to go. I haven’t been able to go to Vacamo once because the schedule is so tight. I thought the writer would take me one day.”
“Then shall we go?”
We headed to Blancnoir to talk about ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞.
