All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

133. Detective Comics (1)

The beginning was a four-panel detective cartoon published in the newspaper. That’s why the name that was decided was Detective Comics.

Starting with newspaper cartoons, he started drawing various cartoons, and starting with the first hero in the 1950s, when the market was getting bigger, he went all-in on the cartoon market in earnest and was on a winning streak.

That was until Babble achieved greater success than expected in the film market. After the first film of Babel in 2008. Over the past 10 years, the gap between the two has continued to widen.

When Babble organically connects the entire video series created after the first successful film adaptation to create a universe and turn people around the world into fans.

Detective has reached the point where they are afraid of new challenges, consuming only a few heroes that have succeeded in film adaptation.

Because if a movie fails once, the damage is not the only one. It was a market that could lose tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars at a large.

So you have to be careful.

(Boss, is this really right? It’s right, right?)

(If this isn’t it. Let’s just wait and see as the gap continues to widen? After a little while, it will be neither one nor the other.)

James Zhu, executive producer of Detective Entertainment, wiped his sweaty palms in a handkerchief as if he was nervous. Next to him, the subordinate sighed with a worried expression.

As time went on, the gap with Babble was widening. People enjoy movies and enjoy goods and contents derived from movies rather than buying comic books.

In other words, the market share itself was not being compared.

(It’s not like that, but Song Jae-ik is a writer. But what we’re asking now isn’t asking him to write a script. It’s almost like he’s entrusting the company’s future.)

(Trust me. Jae-Ik Song’s true character does not lie in being a writer. He is a person with a natural talent for content, just like Leon from Barbble.)

Read at readwn. com

Literally, he was a man who fit the keyword of all-around. Literally omnipotent. From script to production. All-round talent in the content industry.

(Aren’t you a writer? You wrote so many novels and scripts to make it a success? You’re not really a writer. People curse at you.)

(The author became famous in America. You should see his entire activity.)

(Ugh, anyway. Putting aside recruiting outside personnel, hiring a CCO level is natural. There is a backlash.

(So you cooperate well. It is a project that must succeed unconditionally.)

(Nothing.)

It was an issue that had already been approved by the chairman of the parent company. What you do by risking your own life.

If he failed, his career was over. That’s why the opposition and subordinates all kept their mouths shut, otherwise it would have been noisy.

Isn’t life supposed to be high risk high return?

But it wasn’t a sudden, impulsive decision because it took more than four months to prepare.

(Anyway, you have to succeed unconditionally. Director Dennis is aiming for the position of president. It’s not even a special secret. This opportunity is close to the last one.)

James Zhu hardened his expression at the word Dennis. Because they were the biggest rivals both politically and business-wise.

Originally, Song Jae-ik was one of the lowest among numerous candidates. Also entrusted with writing a new movie script.

It was nothing strange. Because people regarded his ability as a writer the highest. that was natural

(President James Zhu?)

When I took a deep breath to hide my nervous heart.

A low voice was heard, and Song Jae-ik, dressed in a neat outfit, was looking down at him with a smile.

(Hello! This is James Zhu!)

(My name is Song Jae-ik. Nice to meet you.)

James Joo felt the restaurant’s lights behind Jaeik like a halo. The halo of existence that will save him and Detective Comics.

and that day. He came across the name Song Jae-ik quite by accident and praised himself for finding out about him out of curiosity.

If it wasn’t for that curiosity, this opportunity wouldn’t even have happened.

(I would like you to oversee the filming of Detective Comics and the drafting of the Detective Cinematic Universe.)

In the story of business that started with dessert after a delicious meal, James Zhu

(So you’re hoping for a role like Leon Page in Babble?)

(To put it simply, yes.)

The number one contributor to the Bubble Universe. Babble’s success was such that it was said that Leon Page’s ability was a big part of Babble.

When even the directors and actors who appeared in Bubbles were asked why other film companies couldn’t create a cinematic universe like Bubbles.

‘It’s simple. Because they don’t have Leon.’

It’s about as much as I said.

It meant that Leon Page’s ability was excellent. Because he was the kind of person who knows what fans want, not just through film production, but through cultural content as a whole.

But to have a role like that in the movie part of Detective Comics?

It was accepted as meaning that it was difficult to detect. Not to the promotion of internal personnel, but to yourself who is considered completely irrelevant?

Of course, that didn’t mean it was burdensome. Why is it burdensome? Rather, interest comes first rather than burden.

But isn’t it a bit like accepting it all at once?

(Why me? I’m more of a writer than a producer like Leon Page.)

Jonathan Kundt nodded slightly, as if affirming that statement, and James Zhu shook his head with a firm look.

(No. I feel that Song Jae-ik is also a writer, not just a writer.)

That was the part. Hollywood spotlighted Song Jae-ik’s success as a writer, but what he saw was a content creator with a wide range of insights and activities.

(The ability to combine works with OSMU. Even the ability to utilize transmedia. That is the ability I saw. The understanding of the work seems to be excellent.)

James Zhu focused on Jaeik’s ability and saw it.

(There are so many different IPs in Detective. Some have succeeded and some have failed. You can use all of them. However, Jaeik’s ability is essential to lay the foundation for our future. We will give full support.)

It was a series of heartfelt conversations.

exactly what you want We are talking about how far we can go.

(And the compensation is this much. Of course, bonuses for additional contracts are separate.)

James Joo, who had written numbers on a Bolsera napkin, carefully held out the napkin to Jaeik.

(Is this enough?)

But the number was beyond Jaeik’s imagination.

The annual salary is about 15 million dollars (20.3 billion won), and there is no incentive according to the movie box office.

A salary of 20 billion won? It was a really fun place. Hollywood.

(Let’s think positively. We’ll give you an answer within this week.)

(Thank you. This is a property of Detective. Please take a look at it and return it later. Please be careful of leaks.)

James Joo took out an external hard drive from his briefcase with a smile as if he was glad to hear that Jaeik thought positively.

(Yes. Let’s check.)

Taking care of the external hard drive, Jaeik lightly bowed his head and left the restaurant to organize his thoughts and slowly walked down the streets of Hollywood at night.

“Detective Comics. Detective Comics.”

I wondered if I would have to put my mind into it for a while once I was in charge of this. Besides, isn’t this something that will be resolved after a year or two?

It’s something that might take years, like Techpole’s game.

Besides, I don’t know exactly what’s going on inside, but from the outside, Detective’s film adaptation was really messed up.

“Management mistakes, hasty expansion of the worldview, character collapse, probabilities, and connections are also messed up. actors problem. A growing schedule.”

These were just a few of the problems I got from scouring the news and community before the detective meeting. And if the problem is revealed to this extent on the outside, it means that the inside can be worse.

It was literally a total mess. And to overcome this total impasse and achieve results?

“It’s crazy difficulty. really.”

But why do I keep thinking that it would be really fun?

I wondered if this would be a job where I could use all my talents. In addition, you may need to digest more talents additionally.

“Catch the No. 1 hero movie Babel. Can I?”

If you don’t know it, but if you make a little bit of achievement, you will have to prepare a huge bonus every year.

That’s an enormous bonus that makes the salary look ridiculous.

(Um. Producer?)

Spielberg tilted his head at Jaeik’s question. It was because I couldn’t properly grasp the intention of Jaeik’s question.

(Yes. How is such a huge series like a drama series or a bubble universe produced? Or, I wonder what skills are needed.)

(Hmm. It’s a series production. It’s not easy to create a large-scale universe, especially for crossovers like Bubbles. There has to be a clear standard, and it takes a lot of investment and time. It’s not something to look at too easily. Like Detective Comics.)

When the Detective was mentioned, Jaeik frowned and listened to what Spielberg had to say.

(A clear criterion. This is the most important thing. For example, when one person holds the rudder, and when several people take turns holding the rudder, the movement of the ship is bound to be different. The people holding the rudder have different ideas, so how can unity be achieved? I’ll have it. But Babble did it, but Detective didn’t. There are too many boatmen on board. They’re just too hung up on immediate results, not focused or properly distributed.)

Didn’t President James Zhu say he would give you full power? There must be a lot of opposition there.

If you made such a boast, it would mean that you could specify it in the contract and make the employees follow it.

(But it’s hard for Detective. There’s no producer, president, or COO like Leon Page of Babble. But I think you’ll figure it out somehow. How was it wrong?)

(yes?)

When I got out of my thoughts and turned my head, Spielberg was looking at Jaeik with a gentle smile and a half mischievous expression.

(Hollywood has eyes and ears everywhere. You already had a meeting with Detective Comics last night. Everyone who knows will know. So, for a really secret meeting, invite people over to your house or go to your vacation home. It’s either an invitation or an invitation to somewhere private, especially for meetings you know you shouldn’t leak.)

The Hollywood version he was in now came to him in a new way. That’s how quickly news spreads.

(So have you made up your mind? Let’s try?)

It seems like I’ve been thinking about it all night. Should I do it or not? Should I do it or not? If so, what should I do, what should I organize, and what should I get?

Thoughts that had been agonizing over and over again changed to thoughts about what to start with and what to do and organize in order to make time.

(I think it wouldn’t hurt to try it. You’re sure to do well. And I’m curious. I thought you’d show something more than I expected.)

Spielberg’s voice had a certain conviction.

That belief that I will be able to do it unconditionally.

(That’s why. I think it’ll be really fun. In the movie market, Detective catches a bubble. A sense of challenge arises.)

then that’s the law
