25 – Next steps (3)

Filming for Fly High has begun in earnest.

And at the same time, Welcome Cafe Violet was aired until the last episode.

The reaction to the last episode was generally good. It’s just that some people are calling me the devil of the ending.

The reason was simple.

It was because the ending of Welcome Cafe Violet was open ended.

Open ending.

Simply put, the creators cast a message that the ending will be roughly left to the imagination of the viewers.

For reference, the contents of the last episode are roughly as follows.

After leaving ‘Winter’, ‘Haon’ realizes that she will one day be reincarnated with all her memories lost.

But she felt the same way herself.

At first, it was a divine coincidence. The second one was able to meet again with the patience of winter, but it is unknown what will happen after that.

It is said that if you are lucky, you will have a few hundred years, and if you are bad, you can go a few thousand years. And even if we met again by chance, it was a problem. Because at that time, we don’t know who each other is at all.

So, Haon made the conclusion that Winter would hate the most.

The reason why the curse of reincarnation came into being was that winter made a desperate wish under a certain spirit tree.

And that spirit tree was the dense pine tree that she had met her end in her previous life and had left her in this life.

Ha-on, who was left alone with the traces of winter gone, slowly stretched out her hand toward her pine tree. And she prayed fervently.

– This time I will wait for her in her.

It doesn’t matter how hard the process is.

For me, it is more painful to ask her to forget the woman she will never forget for the rest of her life.

So this time, let this side of her remember her, miss her.

And if we meet again, let us know.

The precious memories we shared.

In the end, Youngmok granted his earnest wish. However, this time, instead of reincarnation, ‘eternity’ was bestowed on him.

Haon has been running Café Violet alone for such a long time, waiting for someone.

In the last scene of episode 16, someone visits Café Violet, and for some reason, it ends with Haon smiling faintly.

The content of

Is the ending, and this seemed to be a hot topic in the world.

-Where have you gone? I have to make episode 17.

B? Wasn’t the second season airing from next week?

No?

N This is fooling me hahahaha

N Where do you live?

Hmm, just looking at the comments on the last episode makes my head dizzy.

[Welcome to Café Violet’s ending interpretation! Who was the person who appeared in front of Haon at the end? Perfect prediction until the future after the ending!]

[Shock! Japan kneels before the majesty of K-drama. Why did the whole of Japan fall into a crucible of shock after seeing the first work of the 927 artist?!]

[927 Writer’s new next work?! Even idols appear in the work? In his new challenge, the drama industry is in a state before the storm!]

And what makes me even more dizzy are the Youtube thumbnails plastered with colorful letters.

I’m going crazy.

Is there a Gukppong You Tube in the world of the drama?

No, the fact that there is one can be taken for granted in a way, but why are they sucking up so many views? I, the producer, and the actors all went through hardships.

I sighed and turned off my phone.

However, as soon as I turned it off, I got a call from another cell phone.

“Hmm? What is this person doing?”

The person who called was director Yoo Yeon-jeong.

“What’s going on?”

-Ah, yes. There’s something I’d like to talk to about the writer’s drama. I’ve run into a bit of a problem.

A problem?

As far as I’ve heard, the current episode 1 has been filmed safely and the speed has started to increase in earnest, but there’s a problem with this timing?

-That… I think the budget is a bit tight.

I couldn’t understand the situation where I was only on the phone. So she immediately visited her studio en mix and confronted her.

“What exactly do you mean by tight budget?”

“Precisely, it means that the second quarter results have not come in yet. Welcome Café Violet is literally a huge success. In July, when the second quarter ends, we will definitely get a lot of capital.”

“Wait a minute. It’s still early June, so it’s hard to continue filming right now.

“Hmm… It sounds unpleasant to hear, but it’s true. However, it was not in our plan to produce dramas in succession like this, and the period was shortened like crazy thanks to someone who carried out the casting, composing, and filming preparations in a speedy manner.”

Um. No matter who hears that, that’s what I did.

“Even if I ask why you are in such a hurry, you won’t answer anyway, so I’ll just get to the point. There are two options given to the author.”

She went on to say.

One is to stop filming for a while and reorganize until July when you get a huge amount of capital. So, for the next month or so, I was going to suck only one finger.

But why did I shorten the production period while going through a lot with CEO Baek Joon-young?

It was because there are people who lose hope when the airing date of this drama is delayed.

So, of course, this option was dismissed.

The next option was to receive additional PPL spawns.

“This is a list of places I would like to sponsor for this drama.”

“… Quite a lot.”

Even looking at it, the number of sponsors written on the paper seemed to easily exceed 30.

Among them were some well-known companies.

This also meant that the ripple effect of Welcome Café Violet was that great.

“Because if we carelessly receive PPL, it might interfere with the story. So, please choose the script yourself and write a script that is not awkward.”

“Aha. Did you call me for this?”

“Anyway, the first option I suggested isn’t on your mind anymore, is it?”

Write…….

It’s too straight.

“How many of them will not interfere with the shooting?”

“As you know, the previous contract is impossible at this point. So I think we should go ahead with a one-off contract.”

Unlike the previous contracts, in which the story must be structured by consulting with the PPL sponsor in advance, the one-time contract simply receives a certain amount of money depending on the number of exposures or appearance time.

“First of all, I think I will receive a lot more than the minimum down payment, thanks to the 927 writer’s next work. As for the number of appearances, of course, the higher the number of appearances, the better, and the time required is at least two minutes.”

“Once I got it. I will answer you as quickly as possible.”

The conversation with Yoo Yeon-jeong ended with that.

It was time to go back home and quickly come up with a script that added PPL to the second half of the story.

The problem is…….

“I really don’t have anywhere to put it?”

PPL, an indirect advertisement, draws out the advertising effect by properly arranging the product to be advertised in the scene of a drama or movie.

Of course, there are rules as much money goes in and out.

First of all, the size should come within 1/4 of the screen. The exposure time must be within 5/100 of the broadcasting program time.

The standard for a one-hour drama is a maximum of 3 minutes, but this time it only takes about 2 minutes, so what….

Of course, I can’t find a suitable place to fit even that, so I’m still wrapping my head around it.

“So what does that have to do with the reason you visited my studio?”

“I’m going to listen to the CEO talk a little while also relieving some stress.”

“Eh, I’d rather die than get sick. Why is a person who is old enough to have such a distorted heart?”

“I’m still a middle school student to say that?”

“That word is just cheat key, cheat key.”

CEO Joon-Young Baek is looking at his laptop screen happily while grumbling.

If you think about it, from the moment you entered this room, you were only staring at the laptop screen.

“What have you been watching since a while ago?”

“Oh, this? Would you like to see the writer?”

He turned the laptop towards me.

“Suddenly yesterday, a friend sent me an old video of me.”

In the video, young Baek Joon-young, the CEO, was dancing with his signature twisted expression.

“This is a choreography I made a long time ago when I suddenly came up with a lot of inspiration. However, this accidentally spread through the media and became a hit. Suddenly, students, celebrities, nurses, and stewardesses all danced along.”

Junyoung Baek additionally showed other videos that happened during that time.

In the video, an unspecified number of people instantly gather at a certain place at the same time, dance the dance created by Baek Joon-young, and when the dance is over, everyone scatters.

“This is what we call a flash mob. It was a very popular culture at the time. But you’re listening, right?”

I was listening properly.

However, the reason I couldn’t immediately answer CEO Baek Joon-young’s words was purely because I got goosebumps.

Flash Mob…….

Is this really great?

“CEO Baek Joon-young. I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Ominously, what else are you asking for?”

“If you listen to it, it will be fun. You know the choreography of our theme song, Fly High. Can you share that with other idols and trainees in JYB?”

“The choreography of Fly High for the kids? What… It’s not that difficult to dance and it won’t take long to learn. But why all of a sudden?”

Why, why?

I’m trying to recreate the flash mob you mentioned in this era.
