A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 7
When I entered the channel, the storyline of Barkermo was changed.
‘Chaerin’, who works at the cafe ‘Black and White’, has never formally studied coffee, but heals the hearts of customers with her innate ability to catch customers’ emotions and the ability to make coffee that fits those feelings. It leads to a love kite with ‘Jung-woo’, who has been hurt by unrequited love, and with the help of professional barista ‘Hyun-se’, he goes to the barista competition.
Genre: Human Healing
Directed by: TBD
Cast: unknown
Script: Yoon Jae-ho
The direction and appearance have yet to be decided. I was expecting Ji So-young’s name to be there somewhere.
‘Obviously, seeing Ji So-young, my inspiration exploded, but she doesn’t have a name… But uh, something has changed.’
Previously, the text TBD was light gray and inactive, now it is brightly active. It’s like you want to touch it.
‘Oh, if you hold it like this…’
As a test, I hovered the cursor over it, and it blinked and shouted to enter a letter. As the board slides all the way up.
‘You’re writing the names of the performers yourself. So, should I try using Ji So-young’s name?… … No, no. Maybe there is a point deduction for such a trivial function. Carefully.’
I honestly couldn’t believe the channel. I’m just thinking of omitting points like Altoran.
First of all, I was careful and looked around to see if there were any traps. Fortunately, there seemed to be no content about deducting points.
“Then there is nothing to be afraid of.”
I confidently entered the three letters of Ji So-young.
Genre: Human Healing
Directed by: unknown
Starring: Ji So-young
Script: Yoon Jae-ho
Very easily, Ji So-young’s three letters were embedded next to the cast.
“Oh, done.”
When I saw the name Ji So-young, my heart raced. Because it felt like the drama had been framed and completed one step at a time.
But the excitement is short-lived.
I wondered why the channel didn’t automatically display Ji So-young’s name, but had me write it myself.
‘…Are you trying to give me a choice? So, can I cast all the actors I entered? Really? Top actors?’
Curiosity aroused curiosity. As soon as you try it, you’ll know it right away, so I deleted Ji So-young’s name right away.
And I pondered for a while on which actor’s name to put.
“Yoo Jeong-an.”
I remembered the female lead in ＜Summer of Twenty-One Years Old＞, and I typed Yoo Jung-an on the blinking cursor.
pounding
What will happen?
However, contrary to my expectations,
“Ugh. I can’t.”
Yoo Jung-an’s name was not entered. Unlike Ji So-young, who went in neatly.
‘Ji So-young, not Yoo Jung-an? Are only the actors I’ve met entered? Because I met Ji So-young and not Yoo Jung-an…”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t get a clear answer right away. It seemed to be known only by meeting more actors and adding more names.
‘There is a minimum pool of actors determined by the channel, and it seems that the final choice is mine… Then I am directing?’
It seemed like it was because the directing was also empty.
However, as a new writer who doesn’t know anything about drama production, it seemed unrealistic at the moment what I was filling in.
“Oh, it’s complicated. Let’s get to know each channel one by one, and check out the drama first. Knowing a lot at once will hurt you.”
I decided to learn more about the system and picked up the remote control to watch the revised drama video.
Once again, Ji So-young entered the appearance and went to the episode information at the bottom of the screen. 1 episode was increased to 3 episodes.
“awesome. You can change like this in less than a day.”
It took me several months to write the first episode of a one-act play, but it only took one day to triple it.
With a series of great surprises, I pressed episode 1 firmly.
[Would you like to check the first revised version?]
[30 points will be deducted]
[Yes / No]
familiar message.
I was about to press ‘yes’ right away, but at the moment I removed my finger from the button. Because you always have to think twice about entering points.
I currently have 130 points.
30 points for watching episode 1.
The problem is that Barkermo is not the first episode.
A whopping 90 points go into watching all 3 episodes of Barkermo!
“No. Then you only have 40 points left. I can’t even confirm the expected viewership ratings, so I’ll end up with zero points.”
When I thought about it, it was unreasonable to watch all three episodes of the drama with the points I currently have.
In any game, securing a lot of points is a national roll.
To do so…
“under. That’s probably the only way to do it.”
My body has already reacted.
My fingers trembled and my shoulders hardened as if a lump of iron had been stuck in them.
“Haa~ To have to do it again…”
But I couldn’t help it. I have to watch the drama and check the expected ratings.
‘If you copy to death for the rest of your vacation, you’ll earn quite a bit of points, and you’ll be a great writer as a result.’
I didn’t want to delay what I had decided to do. Because even a minute was wasted to copy even one more page.
I got up and sat down at my desk. Then I opened the Korean dictionary and practice book, and picked up a pen.
Hard and exhausting rush!
As soon as I started, I felt terrible pain, but I endured it, remembering the idiom ‘Gali cheonjeong (渴而穿井)’ and the idiom that life is the way the people who need it suffer.
“what? Gai Cheon Jeong! A thirsty man digs a well?”
But it was surprising. The increased vocabulary while writing is coming out without hesitation.
Seeing the increased vocabulary gave me strength. Because transcription was not meant to be a meaningless nogada.
The power of positivity rose from my heart, and I began to write diligently.
One day, two days, and three days passed. And it was the last day of vacation.
Other than eating, packing, sleeping, and occasionally stretching like a prisoner, I was pressed to my desk and transcribed in advance.
My fingers trembled and my wrists trembled. My neck and shoulders were aching from chronic stiffening. As I looked at the clever letters in the dictionary, my eyes were dim and stinging. The thumb and index finger holding the ballpoint pen were bleeding and calluses were rising. I had convulsions in my hands and had to clench and open them.
It was really about to vomit.
“Wow, I can’t use it any more. So far. Let’s just write it here. The more I use it, the better it will hurt.”
I finished copying by sipping cold bottled water. I couldn’t straighten my fingers, so I had to hold the plastic bottle tightly with both wrists to drink.
At that moment, the voice of the sweet channel.
[Complete 20 transcriptions]
[You have earned 400 points]
“Ahahaha.”
First off, I laughed out loud. Then I felt a little weird.
For a few days, your body has been shattered, but at 400 points does it make you laugh like that?
“yes. fly! hahaha.”
Feeling the edge of his lips torn endlessly, he immediately confirmed the point.
• Points to hold: 530 p
“Oh, now I have enough. It is enough to watch the drama.”
The script had a higher level of perfection because revisions were also made in the middle.
With a finger that was too stiff to straighten, I pressed the button for episode 1 of ＜Baristas Don’t Know Coffee＞.
[30 points have been deducted]
The drama started with the deduction of points.
I liked it from the first scene. Because the actress who played the role of Chae-rin, who was plain like AI, was replaced by Ji So-young. That alone was perfect. The vibrancy and suction power were no joke.
I think it’s been ten minutes now, but episode 1 ended in an instant.
“Uh, uh, episode two. Episode 2.”
I ran 2 episodes and ran 3 episodes again. The 90 points disappeared in an instant, but none of it was wasted.
‘Is this really the script I wrote? It’s really different from when you see it in print.’
The romance was exciting and the competition was tense. In the part where customers who drink coffee are healed, my heart is also purified. I cried and laughed and didn’t even know when the drama was over.
The best.
In particular, Ji So-young was perfect for the role of ‘Chae-rin’, who looks delicate but has a hard inside. If it wasn’t for Ji So-young, I wonder if it would have been that emotional.
“It was good.”
Now, I was curious about the expected ratings.
What is the ratings for such a wonderful drama?
I ran out of the store quickly.
•You can check the expected audience rating.
1 time: 30 points deducted
5th: 100 points deducted
‘Because I have enough points…’
I boldly bought a 5-time ticket that could save 50 points.
[I bought the 5th episode of the expected rating]
[100 points deducted]
The number of points he had was reduced to 340, but it was fine because he had earned points to use at this time. It wasn’t worth anything. I’m just curious what the expected ratings will be.
“Oh, tremble. How will it come out? When I first saw it, it was 0.6%. It must be much higher than that.”
[Would you like to check the expected ratings?]
[Yes / No]
I took a deep breath and pressed ‘yes’.
[1 out of 5 ratings has expired]
[Episode 1 expected rating is 6.8%]
[Expected ratings may change depending on the direction and cast]
‘Wow. Okay. Let’s check episode 2 and 3 as well.’
Without hesitation, I also confirmed the expected ratings for episodes 2 and 3.
[2 out of 5 ratings have expired]
[Episode 2 expected rating is 9.2%]
[3 out of 5 ratings have expired]
[Episode 3 expected rating is 12.7%]
As the drama ran, the viewership ratings jumped. Proof that word of mouth is hitting Korea.
If you do this, you will become a promising new writer. I was so happy that joy was not the subject.
Meanwhile,
‘No. Hang on… Of course, the script I wrote was good too, but in fact, Ji So-young was the best.’
A curiosity arose.
If it wasn’t Ji So-young, would this viewership rate come out?
If you look at the expected audience ratings when the appearance has been left undecided, it seemed like you could solve your curiosity. Then you will know for sure how much Ji So-young contributes to the drama.
‘Now that there are two confirmation tickets left, let’s check only episodes 1 and 3.’
Ji So-young’s name was deleted from the appearance and made it undecided. And in that state, we confirmed the expected ratings.
[4 out of 5 tickets have expired]
[The expected viewership rating for episode 1 is 3.7%]
[5 out of 5 ratings tickets expired]
[Episode 3 expected viewership rating is 6.3%]
“Half!”
The ratings of dramas without Ji So-young dropped by half. As expected, the drop was huge.
‘Whatever it is, the fact that you’re halfway down means that ‘Chaerin’ has to be Ji So-young. So will other actors also have an effect on the ratings?
Thoughts were biting their tails, at that moment Hyeonta came.
Because casting wasn’t important right now. What are you doing alone with a script that may or may not be produced?
‘Work is a matter of having a mastermind… The first thing to do is to find a place that will produce it.’
I immediately went online and looked for the contest. Unfortunately, it was already over or only opened in the fall. I wasn’t sure whether to make it or not.
‘Well. My head hurts. I have a perfect script, but I don’t know where to put it. Let’s pretend we’re crazy and throw it in the drama bureau.’
I enjoy the challenge because recording people who come and go NBC. I thought about whether it would be possible to spray the script on steam between stations, but
“Ah. That’s not it. It will not be read and will be thrown in the trash. More than anything else, I would be offended if it spreads.”
There was no realism.
There was a way to submit, but I can’t see a way right now.
“Because the writing is good, it will be solved one way or another. Let’s print it out first. Reading on paper is another thrill.”
Life is how opportunities come to those who are prepared. I don’t know how things will turn out, but I printed the first episode.
Slurry- Slurry-
When all the scripts came out, I taped them with a large stapler to fix them, and I found the files and put them inside so that they wouldn’t be wrinkled.
Once again, joy flooded in.
I’ve been busy printing for such a long time,
‘Uh, the channel is moving on its own.’
I sensed something with my side eyes.
To be precise, the subtitles were flowing from left to right on the screen. also repeatedly. Just like the message that tells you to be careful while playing in the water on vacation.
He turned his head to meet his gaze.
“Since when have you been doing that? Payments?”
I read the ending of the subtitles passing by.
what are you paying I sat down properly and waited for the subtitles to come out again.
Soon, the subtitles flowed unintentionally. But the content was never indifferent.
[Unexpected Mission – Wear a red T-shirt tomorrow and go to the forest. 200 points paid upon completion of the mission!!]
“Oh, I have to go to work tomorrow.”
On the first day of work, an unexpected 200-point mission appeared.
