I kept asking Song questions.
"How many dramas do you usually make?"
It depends on the drama. I usually shoot 50 episodes, but sometimes I shoot 100 historical dramas.
I thought drama production was an unexpectedly expensive field.
"Even if we get 300 million per flight, isn't 50 worth 15 billion? It costs quite a lot of money. Plus, if we don't hit it, it's going to be ruined."
"It doesn't cost 15 billion won. We get paid for production at the station, and we get sponsorship for advertising."
Chang said.
"Oh, when did the newspaper article say that CJ, a conglomerate, is also working on drama production? So does the JoongAng Ilbo."
"In the future, it's likely that big companies will also be swept in this field."
"I heard CJ created a drama production company last month.”
"Oh, the company is Studio Dragon. It's a company divided into physical parts by CJ NAM Drama Business Headquarters. There's a good chance that he'll be a content owner."
I thought I shouldn't just jump into this field with my talent unless it's a big company.
Chief Song asked me.
"Is the boss trying to invest in the stocks of drama production companies?”
"No, I don't touch areas I don't know very well, very well."
"I see. We're losing Samhwa Networks, fan entertainment, and green snake media, so we'd better wait and see if you want to invest."
I searched the companies they just talked about after Deputy Director Chang and Song left.
It confirmed that there were companies whose capital started at 4.8 billion, and there were companies with tens of billions.
A bad news broke.
Strangely, nude photos of Park Un-young were circulated on the Internet.
Park Un-young immediately asked the police to investigate. The photograph turned out to be a composite, but the criminal had yet to be caught.
Since it was famous, there was a weird picture like this and there was a stalker.
I looked up the picture on the Internet out of curiosity, but it disappeared at the same time as the investigation request. The police tracked him down, and he seemed to have dropped the photo.
Park Un-young is an announcer who hosts news and children's programs, so she is less vulnerable, but even if it's a fake photo, her image may be damaged.
So, some young celebrities with weak hearts committed suicide after suffering from comments or fake photos or videos.
It's Friday.
Today was the day I met Park Un-young.
I went to the hair shop, touched my hair, and changed my tie to the blue silk tie I bought at the duty-free shop when I went to China last time. Yesterday, I received a body massage at the Conrad Hotel, so my skin looked very firm.
I looked in the mirror ten more times.
Looking in the mirror, I thought I was pretty handsome, even though I'm not a celebrity.
She had no blemishes on her face after receiving massages, and her hair looked handsome with more charcoal after the transplant. He also looked fine because he looked like his father and had thick eyebrows.
Besides, wearing a high-end suit and a high-end tie, isn't he the best man? I remembered what my mom said when she saw me on her way to work in the morning.
"I have a good son! He's the best man!”
I made a monologue to myself looking in the mirror.
"Yes! I'm the first-class groom!”
I went to the hotel.
Park Un-young and a woman were sitting at the Italian restaurant Artrio.
Park did not wear sunglasses and a mask here. I think it was because there were no customers around.
Conrad Hotel Italian Restaurant has a high ceiling.
In this spacious hall, Park Un-young was really like a rose.
"Hello!"
I greeted politely.
Park Un-young and the woman woke up.
"Hello. Long time no see. I'm Hwang Mi-na, the director of the drama today.”
A woman named Hwang Mi-na said hello.
A person named Hwang Mi-na was quite fat. He wore glasses with a slightly red-colored horn-rimmed glasses, which he usually doesn't wear often. I could feel the feeling of an artist.
"Sit down."
I recommended that I take my seat. Park Un-young looked at me as she sat down and said,
"You look much brighter than last time I saw you."
I said as I touched my tie.
"I think it's because I changed this tie I bought at the duty-free shop the last time I went to China."
"You seem to go out a lot, don't you?"
"What? Oh, yeah."
I was evasive. All foreign countries did it in college and went to China this time. It was only twice.
Park Un-young said, pointing to a fat woman.
"He's a travel buff, too. I used to write travel-related books. I've been to Europe, the Middle East, America, and South America."
In front of this woman, I thought I shouldn't say that I've been abroad.
The fat woman looked at me with a big smile.
I said.
"You're here, so order a meal. I'll treat you to dinner."
Park Un-young unfolded the menu and said,
"All the food names are in English. Mina, you have to order it."
"I've been to Italy, but I don't know much about Italian food. The boss makes you do it."
I ordered after looking at the menu.
The food names are in English, so I said the name on the menu.
Park Un-young said.
"You have a good pronunciation."
I was glad to attend a native language institute in Yeouido recently.
I rolled my tongue and pronounced it like Donald Cram.
The meal is served.
Park Woon-young was also pretty when she ate. And there was dignity.
I have a habit of eating fast.
I grew up fighting hard with my younger brother about food, so I ate quickly.
Also, I ate fast because I was afraid that the children in the neighborhood or school would take away what I ate.
So I gulped boiled eggs in one bite and bungeoppang in one bite.
By the way, Park Un-young and Hwang Mi-na really ate the food slowly.
I also ate slowly to keep pace on this day.
I ate the sirloin delicately and slowly, cutting it gently with a knife.
said Park Un-young over the meal.
"This is my high school classmate. He came into the broadcasting station before me. I worked a lot in the program production field. But she must have a weight on her head. I quit broadcasting station and wrote books around the world because I was a travel fan, but I started a drama production company these days. I'm a director and president."
"Oh, I see.”
Park Un-young looked at Hwang Mi-na and said,
"You said three people invested together in the production of the drama, right?"
"Yes, I worked with director Jung Jin-hong and singer Nam Ji-yeon in the program production department."
I asked Hwang Mi-na.
"Excuse me, how much was the initial capital?”
"It was three billion. Manager Jung Jin-hong is old and singer Nam Ji-yeon can't join the production company's staff because of her singing career, so I became the CEO.”
"You must have invested the most, right?”
"No. Nam Ji-yeon invested the most. I was only 300 million."
I asked a question.
"I heard that it costs more than 300 million won to produce a 50-minute drama. Is that possible with that capital? Of course there will be broadcasting support and advertising sponsorship."
"I wish there were more, but not necessarily. Winter Sonata earned 30 billion won with 3 billion won in production costs and Taewang Sasingi earned 40.6 billion won with 21.3 billion won. 21 billion won was broken.”
"Well, is that so?"
I asked to order wine.
I looked at Hwang Mi-na and said, but in fact, I'm targeting Park Un-young.
"I'll have a bottle of wine."
Park Un-young opposed it, but Hwang Mi-na approved it.
"Wine? That's!"
said Hwang Mi-na with a big smile.
Hwang Mi-na had a round face, round glasses, round eyes, and round smiles.
Park Un-young dressed neatly and stylishly, with her baggy clothes and a red scarf in the heat.
Of course, she took off this scarf when she ate, but it was probably her trademark.
I said, pouring wine.
"Then are you making a drama with that three billion won?"
"No, it happened."
"Why?"
"We don't want the heroine to be our chosen actress, but we want the station to change her. The famous Zhang."
I remembered Zhang.
It was a woman on a beer commercial poster on the wall when friends gathered at Hwang Byung-chul's shop at Geumjeong Station. Kang Hyung-suk, who was preparing for the labor history exam in Sillim-dong, was a woman who looked at him endlessly.
"Then wouldn't it be Zhang? I think it's in the soju commercial. Isn't my face pretty, too?”
I wanted to say to myself, 'I'm not as good as the announcer Park Un-young in front of me.' I stole a glance at Park Un-yong's face.
Perhaps because of a glass of wine, the flushed face was like a real blooming flower.
"Zhang's pay is no joke. Zhang will take all of our production costs. I know he's a man of half character, but it seemed like someone was pushing him from behind. Even though such plastic surgery beauties are not suitable due to the nature of the work.“
"Is that so?"
"If she comes out, we won't even be able to pay our staff. The people who suffer late at night are the staff. It makes no sense to sweep 70% of the production cost!"
Hwang Mi-na seemed a little excited because of her drunkenness.
I said.
"Then why didn't you talk to the station? Zhang is asking me to be the actor I originally chose because his salary is high."
"The station is reluctant. New actors are in trouble because of ratings. I can't help it. The station and we are in a relationship of A and B."
"Does the station pressure the outsourced producers of the drama?"
"It recognizes the independence of outsourced producers, but strangely enough, I insist on Zhang this time."
"So you're forced to increase production costs."
"Yes."
Huang Ni-ma sipped red wine without saying the next word.
said, wiping the wine off his mouth with a napkin.
"So. I'd like to borrow about two billion."
"Will 2 billion blood transfusion make the drama successful?"
"It's possible."
"Then do you think you're going to make a profit? The cost-to-cost sales."
"Well, let it come out.”
"Nobody invests in uncertainty."
"It's possible, even though we get funding from broadcasting stations, we can make profits from terrestrial broadcasters and program providers, get advertising sponsorships, and pre-sell rights to overseas broadcasters to make profits."
"Can your expected income come in numbers? I like numbers because I'm the president of a private equity firm."
"The numbers... well, there's secondary copyright revenues like cables, there's also OST and DVD revenues."
"Okay. Let's say the drama made by CEO Hwang Mi-na was successful, so what would you give to someone who invests 2 billion?"
"He, it's..."
