All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

066. Are you China? not America?

“Haven’t you heard anything about that part?”

“Well. Yes. I haven’t heard anything, so I’m not sure what to answer.”

If you look at the reporter’s eyes or actions, it wasn’t a lie or anything of the sort. I mean there really is such a news. As the reporter said, if it was this afternoon, he would have been unable to hear it.

Since this morning until now, I have been concentrating all my nerves and spirits only on the competition.

“It would be unfortunate if that were true. However, I have no intention of saying anything like this. It’s China’s decision. Rather, it is the loss of people who cannot see my work, not mine.”

Of course, it was embarrassing, of course, but it was understandable. In my work, I openly set China as the villain and do all sorts of bad things, but I don’t think China will like it.

“Reporter, do you have a business card? First of all, it’s hard to give an exact answer because it’s not what I know. Especially regarding the work, I think I need to talk with management Nettopia.”

“You can call or email me.”

“I will contact you after confirmation.”

Jaeik accepted Lee Soo-hyeok’s business card and entered the paddock with a firm expression. I wonder what the hell this is all about.

I thought I should try contacting Nettopia.

“Are you done? It was a lot of trouble.”

Inside the paddock, Kang-seok, the factory staff, and the single life filming team were still filming while waiting for Jae-ik to finish his interview.

The Single Life members congratulated each other with the end of racing and it’s been a long time since they separated due to their own schedules.

“Everyone has worked hard- Go home today and get a good rest, and tomorrow afternoon you will go to work. Everyone, have a good rest – there will be no breakfast tomorrow. I will go to work in the afternoon too.”

“yes! Everyone has worked hard! Let’s all go by car! Let’s go Jaik.”

I had a hard time outdoors and filmed until late at night. Shouldn’t everyone get some rest?

“ah. Kang Seok-ah, did you hear anything from Nettopia?”

Then he asked while receiving the cell phone he had left while racing. Normally, if it was something like that, even if Nettopia contacted me, it would have come a long time ago.

“I was contacted about something urgent. I heard you asked me to call you after work regardless of the time?”

“okay?”

Song Jae-ik, who changed his clothes roughly and put himself in the passenger seat of the car, immediately called Nettopia Webtoon Team Leader Kim Joon-hyeok.

I don’t know if it’s a web novel, but from what I heard from the reporter, it was related to webtoons.

– Author! hello! I saw the game! Hey, that was really great! How heartbreaking it was to watch it with my teammates.

“Ugh. thank you I heard it was broadcast live on You Tube, so you must have seen it.”

– It’s the writer’s job, of course you have to watch it! You must be tired, but to quickly get to the point, I left a call because I have two business matters.

“So. I was just interviewing reporters and a reporter asked me. My webtoon was banned in China.”

– ah! I mean. We also just heard this afternoon. How embarrassing it was when the Chinese government sent an official letter to us.

“Have my works ever been published in China in the first place? When you talk, I remember that the first and second rounds were all out of China.”

If Nettopia had omitted it, that would have been a problem. The most important fact is that the author himself did not know.

– The author’s memory is correct. Officially, it is true that they have not entered China.

“yes? What do you mean?”

– I just sent you a picture via messenger. Could you take a look at it?

Jaeik checked the photo on his phone with a vibration. A paper book in the style of a paperback that is literally crude. The title was written in Chinese characters, but the picture itself was a picture she drew, so she couldn’t tell.

– Yes. I think you checked. It seems that webtoons that were serviced in countries using Chinese characters, such as Hong Kong and Taiwan, were illegally downloaded, compiled into books, and distributed. It’s already a webtoon, and it’s widely spread on the site.

“Huh, true.”

Now I understand all of this.

– As a Chinese corporation, I got a call from the Beijing government asking why no action was taken, so I checked. We are also in a very difficult situation.

“Iknow, right. It wasn’t a big deal. Just happening?”

It’s like that in China anyway, it wasn’t even a day or two, and nothing changed no matter what they said.

– yes. I think you can just pass it off as happening in China. Even if you don’t, I’m planning to send an official letter tomorrow at the company level. We have never been to China to develop the artist’s work.

“ah. If so, I’ll send you an email via messenger. Could you send it this way as well? This is an email from the reporter who came to cover today. I think I should give you an answer.”

– yes! good! If you send it to me, I will send it with you when I go out tomorrow. I was preparing to release a press release at the company level. Even so, the media slowly started talking about it.

“Yep! Then, if there is anything wrong, please contact me.”

– Wait! Author, author!

As soon as he was about to hang up the phone, Kim Jun-hyeok urgently called Jae-ik. News from China was just happening, but that wasn’t the point. That wasn’t even the purpose of asking for a call in the first place.

“yes? What else do you have?”

– yes. Are there any jobs in the US besides China? I think you will have to visit the head office directly for this issue.

“America?”

– yes. America.

No, I want to know what this is about to say that it is the United States after China.

[Nettopia ‘The work of Jae-Ik Song has never been officially released in China.’]

[Excluding works that have never been officially released? China’s futility that reminds me of the 2007 Death Note incident.]

[Song Jae-ik ‘People who can’t see my work is a loss, not mine.’]

– This hyung has a dynamic life. cover up china

– Yesterday, the news broke that you came in 2nd place in a racing competition. Are you in China today?

– But he’s Chinese. 0 Confession 1 chime?

– Lol lol Show your confidence. People who can’t see my work are at a loss.

– But that’s not true. It’s John Jam. Come to think of it, I heard that the novel will be finished soon?

– No already? I can drag over 500 episodes, so why? It’s around episode 400 now.

– They say that’s the best. It’s not messy and it’s just neat.

– But there is no talk about yesterday’s racing results? I was so sick. really. It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but I think I’ll be really interested in the future.

– See you live. Are you sick? Aren’t you going to be on the channel soon?

– I’m also curious about the behind-the-scenes story. I saw on the news that I ran late on purpose in the preliminaries. Trying to figure out the circuit situation.

– The more you look at this man, the more genuine he becomes.

The internet was all about him.

The web novel that will be completed soon, China’s missteps with 0 confession, 1st round, the result of second place in the 1st round of the racing competition, and even the broadcast of the single life next week.

“The internet is all about you. What is the comment section already? It’s to the point that I can’t check them individually.”

“What is this? 2.6 million now?”

“right. Since this is about 2 million, the unit of the number of subscribers is different. It was so hard to shoot 1 million.”

“I’m not ashamed. Isn’t it all thanks to the fans who like our content? whether at home or abroad.”

Of course, because of the camera in the car, I had to say it out of my mouth, but on the contrary, this was a heartfelt story.

Of course, Um Kang-seok rubbed his arms as if he got goosebumps at those words.

“But what about America? China, no matter what.”

“Okay. I haven’t heard any details either.”

The road to Nettopia Headquarters. Team leader Kim Joon-hyeok said it was the United States, but he didn’t tell me what was going on, just repeating that he would come to the company.

never a bad thing When I arrived at the Nettopia headquarters after a long time, Hae-jun Yoo, the web novel team leader, Joon-hyeok Kim, the webtoon team leader, and Ji-in Kim, who was in charge, were all waiting for Jae-Ik in the lobby.

Even while dressed nicely. Usually, when I visited Nettopia a few times, I was dressed casually, but today I even wore a suit. It seemed that he was very conscious of the camera.

“I should have gone up, but why are you waiting here?”

“Our best writer is here, so of course we have to do this much. He also visited us after a long time.”

In the elevator going up to the meeting room. Judging from the fact that a smile might leave Kim Jun-hyeok’s mouth, it seemed that the work in the United States was not an ordinary job.

Entering the conference room where the camera was already set, Jaeik sat down, and the Nettopia team leaders who had glanced at the camera cleared their voices before holding out the file folder. A pretty thick amount of paper.

“This time, I asked you to come because of the result of doing business with the author’s work at Nettopia. In particular, I thought it would be better to see and talk about OSMU rather than talking over the phone or text.”

As Song Jae-ik unfolded the opaque folder, he muttered involuntarily to the visible mark. Because it was such a famous mark.

“Amplix?”

Currently, the leader in the OTT industry. It was Mflix, which was creating various self-produced contents such as the kingdom.

“yes. you’re right. Mflix has contacted you for your work. at that amplex. It is also a drama series.”

“What? What is Mflix? Oh my gosh…!”

On the contrary, Um Kang-seok looked at the Amplex mark embedded in the file folder as if he was more surprised than Song Jae-ik, who was calm.

“They said they wanted to make the author’s work into a drama. Even with their own production!”

“Hoo. great? must have suffered Still, it’s M.Flix.”

It was obviously surprising. Song Jae-ik was also sufficiently surprised. It meant that he highly appreciated the value of his story.

But why? anti-hero stuff. Why?

But if you ask if it’s something you like while jumping around and cheering, doesn’t it feel like that order?

I don’t know if the liver has grown or the distribution has grown. It’s just like, ‘Oh, that’s right. That’s really good!’ It was just a feeling.

“It’s a drama series from Mflix.”

Jae-Ik Song, who did not show a more dramatic reaction than expected, Joon-Hyuk Kim pondered over what was wrong and laid out the terms of the contract with Mflix.

“It is definitely an advantageous condition for the writer. We support the production cost, and the most important thing for Mflix is to follow the principle of non-interference. To guarantee the freedom of creators. Besides, it is a self-produced drama. not outsourcing. It is safe to say that this time, Mflix is winning the game with the author’s work.”

Song Jae-ik, who was quietly listening to Kim Jun-hyeok, suddenly remembered a summary of a certain drama he had watched on You Tube.

That drama I saw on Jungle Prime Video, not on Mflix.

“Was The Guys the latest drama from Jungle Prime?”

“ah.”

“Come to think of it, I read on the news that all of Marvel’s hero stuff will soon be removed from Mflix.”

Kim Jun-hyeok felt his face heat up as Song Jae-ik continued to speak.

I thought it was a hit that Mflix simply put contact in Song Jae-ik’s work.

Because as soon as Song Jae-Ik heard the word M-Plix, he was showing beyond that and beyond.

It was clear that Mflix is now the No. 1 player in the OTT industry.

However, right now, Bable was collecting their works on other platforms and was about to launch OTT. Jungle Prime also created a popular work called The Guys based on a huge amount of capital.

In other words, the OTT market itself meant that latecomers with huge capital were about to emerge, and infinite competition was inevitable.

In such a situation, Mflix had a taste for Korean content. The taste of investing a small amount of capital and extracting profits dozens of times that. I don’t know if it’s simply popular in Korea, but it’s popular all over the world.

If so, simply thank you for contacting me with my work! Wouldn’t it be possible to push at least one thing I want regardless of whether it is possible or not?

“So by the way. Screenwriter of my work. can i do it? That is my condition.”

I’m going to dramatize my work, but I can’t miss this opportunity.
