Chapter 373: The Mountains and the First Bucket of Heavy Gold
It was late at night
The wind is still in the streets
Like a lost child
Running around
It took a night to solve the writer's problem. There are seven people in total, and the previous five people were not too impressed, and they were directly transferred from the list given by Jiang Xijun. As for the remaining two, after saying hello to Wang Yihan PD, they got two slightly more senior ones from him. The greeting was made at the dinner table, and I deliberately wanted to invite Wang Yihan PD to a meal a long time ago, after all, he helped and taught me a lot, but the schedules of the two of them have not been right.
It's rare to get together today, and it seems that there is no need to say more about the unfamiliar words. Just a few words before the meal, the matter of transferring people was decided, and Wang PD, who had a bit of a mentor and friend taste, still did not shirk the slightest bit of prevarication. After that, it was all a private chat, plus the constant collision of glasses on the wine table.
On the night of the 2nd, after the writer's affairs were completed, it was time to select the editor, director, and producer. This kind of talent is not as simple as picking a writer, after all, it is a relatively important role.
It was another full night on the 3rd, and Kang Seok-jun took me to visit several people, all of whom were some famous characters in the industry. For each character, we spent at least an hour discussing it in the most detail.
It's just that this night, we can basically say that we have returned in vain. At present, most of the editors or producers with excellent personal abilities are already in the group. Wielding a shovel is not a particularly easy job that can be put on the table, and the producers who met at night are all in the way of Jiang Xijun's face. There was no refusal to meet. But in a few words, I will take them under my command. Obviously not an easy thing to do.
First of all, I still have too few works. The public or the industry don't know me too deeply. Even my grades have really made me a rising star. Those editors and producers who have groups can't say that they jumped to my side without any consideration or scruples. After all, there is also your own immediate boss PD to be afraid of. After all, you also need to measure and evaluate whether you can develop after changing jobs.
Although it took one night to return without success, it cannot be said that there is no gain at all. At the very least, let them feel my will, and the prospects I paint for them. If they follow me in the future, what kind of country will they build!
After a few meetings. Kang Seok-jun, who had been busy contacting me and running with me for a few nights, yelled that I had to invite him to supper.
Reluctantly agreed, I drove K5 to the downstairs and found a food stall.
When he was seated, he ordered the food, and I scratched my head and asked him about his salary.
"Ah, why don't you give me the salary and the remuneration for filming, and don't let me expose the pot? I'll tell you, no salary. Today's supper is more than 10,000 yuan, and you will pay for it yourself! ”
It's just that the tone isn't that friendly.
Hit by my somewhat rushed tone, Jiang Xijun, who rested on the table with his elbows resting on his elbows, yawned.
"The Ministry of Finance is already counting, in addition. Isn't it that the effect of SJ's two films in the market has not been fully fed back, of course, the better you do, the more money you will be given. Or or. If you're in too much of a hurry and don't mind, the extra prize money will go to me. I'll only send you one contract money. ”
Jiang Xijun, who was talking with his shoulders up, had a bit of a laid-back taste, and this look made me a little unhappy.
I pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks on the side and set them aside. He took the tip of his chopsticks and tapped the table in front of him.
"I'll say it first, if I don't have fifty or sixty million, I'll leave the stall."
"Why fifty or sixty million? What, do you have a place to use money again? Regarding the set of numbers I said, Jiang Xijun, who lowered his shoulders and leaned back, asked suspiciously.
For two or three days, I was too tired to wash my hair, so I lowered my head and scratched the back of my head.
"First of all, the money for K5 will be given to you first, and the friendship price is estimated to be twenty or thirty million. Also, I'm going to go home, just a few years ago. Extra money, going to buy something for the family. ”
Hearing me say that I would give him the car money first, Jiang Xijun, whose eyebrows were slightly furrowed, was about to interrupt me immediately. But he didn't speak for a while because he seemed to hear the words that followed. It wasn't until I finished speaking that he thought for a moment before he spoke.
"Fifty or sixty million, it should be a little higher than that. Well, it's the total remuneration for these MVs you've directed since you joined the company. Originally, it was not so high under normal circumstances, but since the finance department has summarized the numbers that have reached this level, it can only prove that you are really doing a good job............ The finance department is in charge of my father's people, and I can't say that it's right, but the relationship is not good. Therefore he will never increase your reward because of me. ”
Jiang Xijun, who was holding his hands, said a word, and the proprietress just served the food and wine together.
I nodded and munched on his words, indicating that I understood, and began to open the bottle and pour the wine.
More than fifty or sixty million? This number is already a bit out of my mind.
Also, there's one more thing I haven't said. That is, the reason why I want to say this number is because I also plan to pay off the debt a little bit first. That's right, it's the debt.
- I'm afraid that life will be better and that I will be closer to those two. I forgot about that debt.
――――――――――――――
A new day is starting again, and Kim Taeyeon didn't come to trouble me again, I heard that the schedule has finally arrived. Nine, oh no, eight were gathered again. There are two schedules that arrive near the end of the year, one is a magazine pictorial shoot for SoneNote, and the other is a commercial shoot for Casio. There was no doubt that I heard about this from Kang Seok-joon, who dragged me to the scene of the SoneNote magazine pictorial shoot, but I didn't go. As for Casio, it is scheduled to be filmed in mid-January.
The matter of forming a team is not urgent for me, but there is no room for slackening. The repetitive and hectic days unfolded on me every moment and every moment. During the day, I concentrate on completing the courses of the refresher course. At night, there is no end to visiting all kinds of people.
In terms of important roles, such as content director, production producer, FD, ED, our Minister Kang Seok-jun and Kang will come and participate in the meeting with me. But others, such as the staff of the lighting team and the art team, are all in charge of liaison by myself.
At present, only the members of the writers' group have been finalized. The team leader has also been directly appointed by me for the time being, after all, he is in a circle, and he also has a little connection, at least better than me who doesn't know anyone, and he usually goes out with me to contact.
On top of that, there's one more thing that I need to put a bit of effort into preparing. That was the Wenju banquet that night when Jiang Xijun insisted on holding a banquet.
This made me too busy to turn around, and I had to take the time to come out and study the menu. Although it was a little annoying at first, I really didn't have much idea to hold this warm house banquet. But then I thought about it, there weren't many opportunities for everyone to get together. What's more, it's time to add a little vitality to this new nest.
The time for the Wenju banquet has not been set yet, and we have to find a day when everyone is free. Before that, I was a little anxious and I ran into a small episode.
It was supposed to be the night of the 11th, and the temperature in Seoul was even lower, with temperatures only above zero during the day and colder at night. Around seven o'clock, I took the leader of the writers' group to eat out casually, and then after saying hello in advance, I was ready to meet one of the sound engineers at SBS.
In the circle, such as sound effects artists, artists or lighting engineers, cameramen, etc., are basically freelancers, which can be regarded as a kind of external hiring, and it is not uncommon to change teams. After saying hello and discussing, SBS will not be too stuck, mainly depending on whether the friendship with other people's team PD is deep, and whether he is willing to let go. Only PD, ED, AD, and screenwriters are the fixed core of a team.
On that day, the sound engineer was transferred to a filming set, and I rushed over with the leader of the writers' team.
When I arrived at the filming location, I learned that it was the two sound engineers of the Runningman film crew who infected each other with a severe cold, and finally stopped cooking directly, so they transferred this person to help with the recording.
This was probably the first time I had come to Runningman's filming set, and although I had written a plan for them before, it was not the same as actually arriving, and I couldn't escape this emotion at all.
The first person to see me was Lee Kwang-so, who was standing high and looking far away. It was time to prepare for the shoot, and they were standing there drinking water and chatting. Kwangsu Hiong, who saw me at a glance, raised his hand to greet me, and then walked over to me.
Then it was Ji Hyo Nuna who pointed at me in surprise and said "oh", she set off slowly, but quickly overtook Kwang so Hiong, who was walking towards me. There is no other reason, but this Nuna stretched out his feet from behind and mixed Kwangsu Hiong a little.
Everything was so familiar, I nodded at Ji Hyo Nu who came over, and looked behind them again. Those...... All of them were people I knew from a screen across the camera, and now they were standing right in front of me.
In a few moments, I'll be chatting with them. (To be continued.) )
