All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

187. Geeks (1)

The Los Angeles Institute of Technology had a larger site than expected. Besides, the buildings are pretty cool too.

More than the art college I went to once last time.

‘No, was art college a strange thing? Although it was a bit extreme.’

If art college was extremely focused on the inside rather than the outside, should I say this place is in the middle?

Among the neat white brick buildings, Jaeik was looking for a building for Cheonggang.

‘But even at the beginning of the semester, something is empty. It doesn’t look like there are too many people.’

Designing rides meant that all sorts of math, science, and design skills were involved.

The most basic principle of a roller coaster is to use electrical energy to go up gradually to gain potential energy, and to use that potential energy to convert it into kinetic energy without any help from power to repeat falling and rising.

Numerical analysis of structures, civil engineering, mechanical equipment, this and that. In addition, it was a task that required thorough planning and ability from the planning stage.

It literally means the sum of all kinds of knowledge.

‘Thanks to you, I almost broke my head. I don’t even want to imagine it if it wasn’t a real ring.’

It was true that I was able to come this far with the power of the ring, but it seems that the talent of the ring has never touched me as clearly as when I digested my mathematical and scientific talents this time.

The feeling that mathematics and science, which I did not even understand, were established in my head and piled up one by one was a feeling that could not be explained by anything.

“Oh, is this place?”

Standing in front of the spacious classroom with the words number 201 inscribed on it, Jaeik took a deep breath and entered the classroom.

Is it a classroom you enter after a few years? Korean universities have already dropped out of school due to non-conformity.

Upon entering the class, it was confirmed that an appropriate number of students had already settled in the middle.

It was a class conducted by Professor LaMarcus Thompson, who readily agreed to attend the attraction planning course that Jae-Ik wanted so much.

‘Besides, I didn’t know, but this way is quite famous.’

It seemed like it would be fun to learn.

Anyway, since I was not a student in this class, I was literally an auditor, so I sat in the back seat a little further away and turned on my laptop.

(It’s a face I haven’t seen before, but it’s a freshman? Professor LaMarcus likes students who sit in the front. I listen every semester, and if you want to get good grades, you’d better sit in the front.)

As Jaeik placed his bag in the back seat and unfolded his laptop, an impressive-looking female student greeted him.

(The attraction planning class is usually a class that you don’t listen to unless you have an intention in this direction. I guess you’re interested in attractions too?!)

(Uh, um.)

Before Jaeik could answer anything, the student gestured and called to Jaeik, who scratched his cheek and took a seat next to him.

(Anyway, Professor Lamarcus has really wide feet here and there, so sometimes very famous practitioners give special lectures. Then you can even get a job opportunity. It’s literally the best class.)

However, Jaeik could not even say his name and just nodded and listened. I didn’t even have time to say my name, so I continued chattering.

(Instead, they said the assignments were very difficult. That’s why there weren’t that many people listening. But the attraction said he was the best professor. This is also a relationship. Ah! Nice to meet you. It’s called Vanessa Nula Kirby. The introduction is late!)

‘Are you British?’

Looking at Vanessa’s bright smile with her unique British pronunciation, she couldn’t bear to take off her hat and nodded lightly to say hello.

(But what other classes do you take besides attraction planning? I’m worried because there aren’t many attraction-related classes. The other parts are too specialized.)

(Hmm. Well. I listened to math. I listened to engineering. I also listened to mechanical equipment…? This and that?)

I’m going to listen exactly.

Vanessa looked at Jaeik in surprise at Jaeik’s words. I never thought there would be someone who would make a timetable like that.

(What? All of that?!)

Besides, aren’t those classes all different majors?

what the hell is this guy Are you a genius?

drooling-

But before he could say anything, the door opened and Professor Noh, a gray-haired professor with a benevolent expression, slowly entered the classroom.

It wasn’t a full lecture like other lectures, but LaMarcus Thompson was rather comfortable with such a small group.

It’s focused and at the same time free discussion atmosphere.

(Hello everyone. It’s a new start again. My name is LaMarcus Thompson.)

Then, he glanced around at the students who were sparsely seated in the classroom.

‘Is it that person?’

LaMarcus made eye contact with Jaeik, who was wearing a hat and looking at him in the front seat.

When the school affairs team suddenly talked about auditing an outsider, I didn’t really care because it was a professional class to say that I was just auditing, but I was curious about who it was.

‘It’s Song Jae-ik. I heard that you are a good content creator. Suddenly, it’s an attraction plan. Are you thinking of making an amusement park?’

LaMarcus burst out laughing at the absurd imagination. An amusement park with attractions is no kid’s play. Because it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

‘It must be just interesting.’

(Welcome to the attraction planning class. I don’t think there is any other equipment that brings out the basic instincts of people as diverse as attractions. Fun, thrill, and childishness. Attraction planning is a job that requires a lot of responsibility and skill at the same time.)

LaMarcus scrawled the word Dark Ride on the blackboard.

(This semester, I’m going to take a class on the dark ride.)

‘Dark Ride… just right.’

An amusement ride that rides a vehicle or ship-like vehicle and runs through a set decorated like a show.

It is an attraction that has been attracting attention lately, and it was also the reason Jaeik was most interested in and the reason he wanted to take this class.

(Various showsets, including animatronics, a compound word of animation and electronics, are arranged to create a specific theme or story, and visitors can get an effect that seems to be experienced rather than simply enjoying rides. Literally, the audience It makes them fall in love.)

Starting with Digi, large-scale attraction planning that creates a story through special effects and animatronics was definitely becoming a trend these days.

In addition, it was generally slow-moving, so it had the advantage that people of all ages could enjoy it, but on the contrary, it was natural that the story and the technology called animatronics should be supported.

Of course, as much as that, the construction and investment costs were also enormous, so it is literally produced and operated mainly in large-scale theme parks.

(Dark Ride has two points: the animatronics and the story that make the audience feel that the story in this attraction is more real. The two points need to be harmonized properly.)

(We just imagine and plan. It’s up to the engineers who specialize in it to make it a reality. Don’t let your imagination eat its limits with real possibilities.)

Jaeik nodded slowly throughout the class. It’s because there were a lot of things that I thought were very similar. A compromise with reality did not have to be made at the opportunity stage.

You just have to plan it once and modify it to fit the reality.

(And the story. The dark ride is a very important factor because people enjoy the dark ride for a long time and watch it at the same time as the experience.)

LaMarcus wrote the word story out loud, tapped the blackboard a few times to emphasize its importance, and met Jaeik’s eyes.

(What do you think, CEO Song Jae-ik?)

(What is it? Song Jae-ik? Behind the scenes?)

(The real Song Jae-ik?)

(Crazy! Why is Jae-Ik Song here? This is an attraction planning class! He’s not even a student in the first place!)

A murmur broke out among the students, and LaMarcus laughed.

(I would like to hear what the CEO thinks. Do attractions really need a story? I think the students will be able to understand better if it is the opinion of the person in the highest position.)

(Song… Song Jae-ik?!)

In particular, Vanessa, who was sitting next to Jaeik and taking classes together, stopped the hiccup that suddenly popped out of her mouth and took off her hat to look at Jaeik as he greeted LaMarcus.

(First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to audition. I think it’s a really good class.)

Jaeik nodded and walked towards LaMarcus, who was smiling benignly.

From what I’ve seen, LaMarcus Thompson was a good person if he made a kite in any way.

Besides, he could have passed without knowing himself, but he seemed to point out himself to tell the real students about its importance.

(I can’t say enough about the importance of the story. It’s natural for an attraction that needs a story in the first place, like Dark Ride, and even for other attractions for pleasure. If so, it’s absolutely fine. Visitors will feel the story and enjoy the attraction. )

(However, wouldn’t rides like Gyro Drop and Top Spin be too much to have such a story? Literally, they are attractions that give you a feeling of original fun and thrill.)

At Vanessa’s question, Jaeik smiled and nodded.

(That’s a good question.)

Jaeik wrote the word story on the blackboard and drew a small circle containing the word.

And I drew a bigger circle than that. to fill the board.

(Don’t set the limits of the name story. Attractions can also be born as a source of story creation. Of course, compared to attractions with a ‘story’ like the Dark Ride, their power may be a little lacking. Sometimes, the purpose itself can become a story.)

As Jaik’s explanation continued, LaMarcus Thompson stroked his chin without hiding his surprise.

What I am saying now is also what I was going to say in the lecture. Attraction planning simply installs something somewhere. Because it wasn’t something that would end with making it in some way.

I thought I came to the lecture simply out of curiosity, but the depth of Jaeik was beyond my imagination.

Besides, he seemed quite accustomed to teaching others. Appropriate tone and tone, easy explanations and examples.

It’s a fairly extensive story, but the eyes of the students listening to the explanation were definitely shining.

(That’s a good word. I think the CEO should have been standing here, not me. The students seemed to understand it at once.)

(Sorry, I’m glad I didn’t waste your time.)

(As the CEO said, there is a clear story in attraction planning. Even how to arrange and decorate it. Today’s class will end here. Thank you all for your hard work.)

—

(It’s a theme park.)

LaMarcus, who was having a conversation in the lab after the lecture, listened to Jaeik’s story and patted his chin as if he was interested.

I thought it was simply interesting, but I was thinking about building a real theme park and planning attractions myself.

Aren’t you a young man who has a crush on you more than you think?

(If so, let me introduce you to a good place.)

(A good place?)

(This is an on-campus club for which I am an advisor. Even if it is a club, it will probably be of great help. All students are serious about attractions. We guarantee their skills.)

(That’s nice.)

When asked about a club with LaMarcus Thompson as an advisor, Jaeik replied positively. Of course, it’s nice to be introduced to a good agency or production company, but that’s something you can do even if you’re not LaMarcus Thompson.

(Perhaps students of a similar age can communicate better. Besides, new ideas may come out because students have not yet tasted their limits.)

‘Maybe I can meet a new relationship like before.’

In the past, Go Ye-rim was like that, Joo Soo-in was like that, and Luke Evans was like that.
