Chapter 29
Chapter 29
While Director Choi Hoon was talking on the phone with a puzzled expression on his face, PD Na Jinho asked.
“Why, Director? “What is going on?”
Choi Hoon put his index finger over his mouth. He meant to be quiet.
If it’s an OS group, is it the OS group I know…?
While Choi Hoon was racking his brain, the chief secretary spoke again.
[Originally, I was supposed to contact you using our company number, but the CEO instructed me directly, so I contacted you personally].
“Ah yes…”
Choi Hoon’s voice was slightly shaky because he had not fully grasped the situation.
[I hope we can schedule it as soon as possible, but the director and producer must be very busy, right?]
Hearing the secretary general’s words, Choi Hoon looked at his cell phone and said.
“Oh, no! Our… No, I’m really busy, but still! It is possible right now. Uh, where should I meet you?”
[You can come to the OS International headquarters… I will send you the company address. Please contact us when you arrive].
“Yes, yes!”
The call ended with these words.
The conference room was filled with curiosity and subtle anticipation.
As everyone looked at him quietly, Choi Hoon spoke with a slightly shaking voice.
“Hey, Jinho…”
Choi Hoon just called his name like he would if he met him privately. That’s how confused he was.
“Yes, Director.”
“You quickly go home, take a shower, and change your clothes… no. As for the clothes, let’s go buy a dress shirt and a pair of jeans in front of here. “Go to the sauna first.”
Na Jinho looked confused at Choi Hoon’s words.
“Why? Wait… did you just call… an investor?”
“Uh–. Investments are probably coming in. “I’m a little worried, but first you have to get the investment.”
The employees clenched their fists at the director’s words. Their haggard faces began to come to life.
Nothing is certain yet, but where is even a glimmer of hope?
“Done…”
“As expected, Director! “I believed it.”
“I have to go to the sauna and get some sleep.”
Na Jinho asked again as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Someone is investing in my work? Really?”
I called around the clock for several days, but no one was willing to help. So Na Jinho couldn’t believe that an investor had come forward.
” Where? Could it be… a bank? “Are you sure they will give us the money?”
Choi Hoon scratched the back of his head and said.
“Actually, I don’t even know what happened to me…”
“—.”
“The OS Group is investing. To be precise, it is OS International… Does it matter now? “First of all, wash up quickly!”
“OS Group
This was an investor that no one in the room could have imagined.
***
“W-where, is it?”
“Uh. “The address they texted is right here.”
After hearing that they had found an investor, Na Jinho and Choi Hoon went to the meeting place as soon as they finished their preparations.
The place they arrived at was the headquarters building of ‘OS INTERNATIONAL’, which is said to be the most popular of the OS Group’s subsidiaries.
Na Jinho and Choi Hoon looked around at the entrance of the building where many office workers came and went.
“Where should we go?”
“He asked me to contact him when we arrive.”
Choi Hoon called again from the number he had just called.
[Hello? Director, have you arrived yet?]
“Oh yes! “We are at the entrance now.
Choi Hoon held the phone with both hands and spoke politely. He looked more like a new employee than a director.
[Please wait a moment. I will send someone now.]
“All right!”
Soon after, a woman in a neat suit came out of the building and looked around. Making eye contact with the two people who were waiting anxiously, the woman approached with her attendants.
“Hello. My name is Jooyoung Han from the representative secretary’s office. “You are director Choi Hoon and producer Na Jinho, right?”
Choi Hoon and Na Jinho also greeted Han Jooyoung politely.
“I’m Choi Hoon…”
“Ah, yes… “I’m Na Jinho.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you “The manager is getting ready to welcome you two, so we will take you to the conference room first.”
“Ah yes…”
The two people didn’t know that they would be treated like VIPs, so they were even more embarrassed than when they first heard that OS Group was investing.
When we entered the headquarters building, we were shocked.
This is because the executive-only elevator was waiting.
“You reserved the elevator in advance?
Director, what kind of relationship do you have with OS Group?
“You can get on.”
Han Jooyoung spoke to them as they stood there blankly. Choi Hoon and Na Jinho straightened their hair, adjusted their ties, and got on the elevator.
While the elevator was going up, Choi Hoon had many things he wanted to ask Han Jooyoung.
Why did they suddenly decide to invest in our drama?
Before that, why is OS Group suddenly interested in broadcasting and is it planning to enter the entertainment business this time?
It would be obvious to answer that I don’t know. I will have to ask the chief secretary later.
Choi Hoon and Na Jinho arrived at the conference room under Han Jooyoung’s guidance.
“Boss. This is Han Jooyoung. Choi Hoon and Na Jinho have arrived.
“Come in.”
When permission was given, Han Jooyoung opened the door.
“Hello. Nice to see you two. I’m the Chief Secretary Kang Kyeongsik. “Please come in first.”
At the door, a middle-aged man with handsome white hair smiled and handed Choi Hoon a business card.
“Thank you. “I’m Choi Hoon, drama director at BDD Broadcasting.”
“I’m PD Na Jinho.”
After exchanging business cards, Chief of Staff Kang Kyeongsik spoke first.
“First of all, thank you for taking the time to do this. “I should have done it quickly because it was an order from the CEO, but I’m glad.”
“Oh, no. We really appreciate it, but… “Is it true that you guys are investing in our work?”
Choi Hoon first confirmed the most important thing.
“Of course. “We are planning to invest more than the amount we decided to invest in KL Entertainment.
When the words ‘KL Enter’ came out, Choi Hoon swallowed dryly.
If you know that KL Entertainment withdrew its investment, it seems like you know most of the circumstances.
This time, Na Jinho asked cautiously in response to the secretary’s words.
“If it’s more than KL Enter… How much exactly?”
“We are thinking of up to double the amount that KL Entertainment decided to invest.”
Double.
As soon as they heard these words, Na Jinho and Choi Hoon looked at each other.
“‘Twice…’
This person… No, does this person know how much it is?
Chief Secretary Kang Kyeongsik, seeing the look in their eyes, smiled slightly and handed the documents to them.
“This is a contract made in our format. “We have already signed it. All you have to do is sign it.”
Hearing that the contract had already been prepared, Choi Hoon hurriedly checked the contract.
“—!”
Seeing Choi Hoon’s unusual reaction, Na Jinho quickly checked the contract and covered his mouth.
Oh my God. It’s really double.
After a while, Choi Hoon, who had carefully read the contract from beginning to end, spoke up.
“The contract seems really good. One thing that worries me is that I don’t think this contract is very beneficial to the OS Group…”
While Choi Hoon spoke cautiously, the chief secretary gestured as if to continue.
“So I would like to ask if there are any requirements that would be difficult to write into a contract.”
A requirement that would be difficult to write into a contract.
It often means content that would be socially criticized if it were made into a document.
For example, it starts with asking certain actors to go out for drinks, and when the ratings of a drama exceed a certain level, some of the actors who appear in it “have to” film commercials for investment companies at a low price, and so on.
Most of these things are related to the actors, and they happen often, knowingly or unknowingly.
Of course, since the station does not have the authority to move the actors, each agency has to be persuaded or pressured first.
Of course, this is very embarrassing for the station.
“We don’t want that. If we wanted that, we would have gone directly to the agency. “With so much money, anything is possible.”
In response to Choi Hoon’s question, the chief secretary smiled and shook his head.
“And our CEO is not the right person for that.”
Choi Hoon nodded as the secretary general spoke calmly while drinking tea. The chief secretary saw this and said, handing over a bundle of documents.
“That doesn’t mean we’re just investing for the sake of it. We are also a company. “Please take a look at this.
Choi Hoon read the document given by the Chief of Staff.
OS Entertainment Business Plan—D. Is the OS Group planning to enter the entertainment industry?
It would be a big deal if OS Group entered the entertainment industry.
Although I was quite surprised inside, I didn’t show it and quickly skimmed through the documents.
It looks like you have put a lot of thought into this.
Since it was an established large company, the business plan was well organized.
On the last page of the business plan, something very important to Choi Hoon was written.
-Actively include celebrities in BDD’s dramas and entertainment shows.
-Subsequently, OS Entertainment’s own planned program utilizing awareness was aired on BDD Broadcasting Station.
Etc.
Several projects to be carried out with the BDD Broadcasting Station were planned in great detail.
As Choi Hoon read the page carefully, the chief secretary said.
“As you can see, this time we are planning to invest heavily in such collaborations,” he said. “This is to quickly grow the entertainers we will create in the future.”
Choi Hoon swallowed dryly at the chief secretary’s words.
“Also… The OS group is not normal.
If the BDD channels do not have this money, they will have to abandon the work they have been preparing for a long time. And in the meantime, their competitors will benefit enormously.
But if I just eat this money… BDD can put OS Entertainment on a leash.
This money is a very tasty medicine.
Only time will tell if it is poison or great medicine.
While Choi Hoon was thinking, the chief secretary smiled and said.
“Then please take your time and think about it. “You two need to discuss this, so I will take your place.”
As soon as the secretary left the room, Na Jinho wrote his name on the contract without hesitation.
Choi Hoon saw this and yelled at Na Jinho.
“Hey, Na Jinho! Are you crazy? No matter how much you want to receive investment, it’s a completely blank check condition…!”
“Director. “Look at the list of recruited actors over there.”
Na Jinho interrupted Choi Hoon’s worried conversation and pointed to the OS Entertainment business plan.
Choi Hoon checked the list.
——
1. Kang Jinseok
2. A new actor who fits the image of the OS group
Group’s image. After recruiting more than 5 actors including Kang Jinseok, the idol business began.
——
It was a very bad list. So much so that it put to shame the dozens of pages of detailed business plans I had read before.
However, Director Choi Hoon could not take his eyes off the name written at the top.
Kang Jinseok? Wait, where did I hear that… ah?
This time, it was the name of the newcomer that Na Jinho was most looking forward to.
Na Jinho spoke softly to Choi Hoon.
“He’s really talented, but he’s an actor who hasn’t even debuted yet. “I met him after Mansu introduced him to me.”
“Anyway?”
“I, the person who ate jjambap at the station until I threw up, also a newly discovered actor. But if a company that hasn’t even been founded knows about such an actor…”
“—.”
“Either OS Entertainment’s intelligence is not average, or that friend’s sponsor. It will be one of those two things. “This guy will definitely be a big hit.”
“—.”
“Having an entertainment agency like this first will be beneficial to us, but it will definitely not be a loss.”
Na Jinho gave Choi Hoon a pen and said.
“And anyway, if this drama is successful, will I be the next director? “I will take the responsibility, so please sign.”
Choi Hoon sighed at Na Jinho’s confident voice.
Choi Hoon thought for a while.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay? “I’ll be retiring soon, but you’ll have to stay at BDD for a long time, right?”
“Older brother. I’m sure. Anyway, if I can’t film this drama, I’ll leave too. “Even my brother didn’t get any applause when he left.”
When Na Jinho said this, Choi Hoon could not stop him.
Whoa… I can’t believe I have to decide something like this in my later years. My arms are really strange too.
Choi Hoon shrugged his shoulders and signed the contract as if everything would be fine.
“Okay, do what you want. If you need help later, let me know. “I will report directly to the president regarding the investment in this project.”
“Thank you.”
Drama investment.
An alliance was formed between OS Entertainment and BDD Broadcasting Station.
