192. step by step (3)
(Huh. It’s frustrating. It’s frustrating.)
Patrick Lambert let out a deep sigh, but nothing changed.
Collaborating with Babel was like hell. When the release of the movie was imminent, I had to work overtime without holidays for six months.
It was really bad for me to see employees come face down or have seizures from mental stress.
But the more problematic thing was that even in this situation, I couldn’t touch Bable’s planting. If you do not complete your quota on time, you will be blacklisted and will not be able to work with Bable again, and the deadline will not change even if there are schedule changes such as reshoots.
(Still. It’s okay. It’s okay. It was the right choice.)
Some people asked if it would be better to use more people, but the money given by Babble was very small. Even if the job required 10 people to do it properly, Babble only paid about 2 people.
And eventually, the revelation broke out, but what came back was the termination of the contract. blacklist. Not only his own company, but several companies were literally cut off at the same time.
Frankly, the secret to the popular success of hero movies is VFX. In other words, what is the development of visual effects? Reality is a gutter.
(Still, I can’t work even if I die with Bobble again.)
(Never. Never. Even if I die of starvation, I will not take on the Babel work.)
The employee who had the seizure is receiving psychiatric consultation and is only now showing signs of improvement.
However, even though the wounds that Babble gave me were so great, I hated hearing the word Babble.
(Don’t worry. I don’t intend to do that either. If you say you’re crazy and do it again. It’s obvious that you’ll be more harassed than then. But you have to excel in sales. You can’t play and eat without work while running a company.)
Still, how big is this movie version, but they don’t know if they will be in charge of the work.
Especially in an era where VFX is becoming a necessity for movies like now.
(Come on! Everyone, let’s do our best! It’ll work out!)
Of course, it didn’t take long for that idea to break.

“It’s the lead role. I’m the main character.”
At the mention of being the lead in this movie, Jin Kyu-hyeok could hardly get out of a state of panic.
After being chosen by Jaeik, he appeared in numerous works. Regardless of the main cast.
Of course, there have been many cases where he has been cast as a lead actor lately, but suddenly he is the main character in a collaboration movie with Detective.
It literally means that you are the main character of an enormous blockbuster series, so how can you not get excited? It was natural to be worried at the same time.
“You seem to have completely lost your mind?”
“Don’t even do that. Because Koreans have never been cast as the lead in a Hollywood heroine.”
It was also true that there was a distinct feeling of likes and dislikes in the Western and Eastern countries, even though there was a movie mainly Asian in Bable.
“Well, that’s true.”
Apart from Jin Gyu-hyuk’s situation, the restaurant Jae-Ik had reserved was really delicious. The taste of the food was really awesome.
“But will it be okay?”
“Which part?”
“just. I wonder if I’m worried about whether it’s going to be good.”
“Do not worry. When was there anything I didn’t touch?”
“It doesn’t.”
“Do not worry too much. I’m sure you will succeed again. Hyung-nim also came out with TVM and was more successful, right? I’m going to jump again with this opportunity.”
Na Young-jin felt the unresolved tension for no reason. From a variety producer to a drama director and now an assistant director for a Hollywood movie.
Even if it’s a drama, isn’t it the first time that an assistant director for a Hollywood movie has done it himself? It’s also my first time. Maybe it’s something that I didn’t even expect to do this kind of work in my life over 40 years old.
As a result, it was unavoidable that I was worried rather than feeling anticipation or feeling like that.
Because he felt that he was too old to take on new challenges.
‘Or is it my heart? I guess I’ve become calm again before I know it.’
When did you start looking for stability again?
Did old adults say Geun-ju-jeok Geun-muk-ja-heuk? I didn’t think it was the right word.
“No. no.”
Na Young-jin shook her head and brushed off her negative thoughts.
It didn’t work.
This wasn’t a TVM where you had to be successful just by being stable. It was Challenge Everything, a gathering of challengers.
There was no burden of failure.
No, rather, Song Jae-ik was carrying the burden of failure.
‘Then I can’t do this. It’s embarrassing.’
“why?”
Seeing Na Young-jin muttering to himself, Jae-ik tilted his head.
“not. yeah let’s do it you can definitely do it I have to hit the jackpot in Hollywood.”
Na Young-jin shook her head and replied with a grin.

(No, why on earth…!)
(Kuhmm. I decided to leave it to another company.)
Patrick Lambert was stunned by yet another refusal. It was already the third.
‘Damn it. Dizzy and Bubbles. These bastards.’
It was clear that he was paying attention. It didn’t matter if Babble or Dizzy didn’t press.
Because that’s what it looked like.
(I-I’m sorry. Anyway. You’d better find another movie. Let’s quit.)
The other person just said what he had to say and hung up the phone. Perhaps he behaved like this because he knew something was wrong for a long time.
(Fuxx!! Fuxx!! Dogs! This is way too much! aaah!
Patrick Lambert, who had been screaming with bloodshot eyes because he couldn’t overcome his anger, lowered his head and sighed with an expression full of frustration at the sense of reality that soon came to him.
(Cx. Like a dog. Should I file a lawsuit?)
will definitely lose Because the size itself was not compared in the first place. Besides, it was clear that the moment I filed a lawsuit, it was more difficult to get a foothold in this industry.
The VFX industry has a kind of artistic feel to it. Is it tied to the company but at the same time strong personal inclination?
In other words.
‘There are many people who can do it even if it’s not us.’
No matter how good your skills are. My eyes were blocked. How can I do this?
While thinking over and over again about the unanswered concerns, the door opened and someone entered the company.
(Hello. I made an appointment today. Patrick Lambert.)
(Huh?! Uh-uh…!)
(Uh, uh! Yes! In there. No, I will guide you.)
The words heard outside suddenly took Patrick out of his mind. It was because I remembered my promise to visit the company today.
There was only one request to hold a VFX-related meeting without any information about where the film was or what kind of film was being made.
‘Wouldn’t it be the same here after all?’
Even if it’s the same. Unable to let go of the string of hope, Patrick straightened his clothes and grabbed the conference room doorknob to open it.
I hope you can put out even an urgent fire.
(Hello…? No, why is the author here…?)
The guest who looked at me before I even finished saying hello. Song Jae-ik met Patrick’s eyes with a smile as if he was glad to see him.
(There are rumors that the skills here are so good.)
Jaeik grinned as he recalled the gloomy atmosphere at the company.
Of the many VFX companies, the reason why I decided to visit this place is obvious, isn’t it?
(By the way, Dizzy and Chuck lost well, right? You must have lost work. Hey, I didn’t expect you to be so naive.)
I was on the way to figure out all the rumors that were already circulating in Hollywood. Of course, his skills. the situation now.
Bad news was piling up on bad news. Suddenly, with the words that they would make a movie with artistic quality, the probability of the story was collapsing and the quality of VFX was declining.
Thanks to that, the flashy battle scenes like in the past or the cool cider feel have been greatly reduced.
Directors with high understanding of VFX were replaced by directors with excellent artistic sense and poor understanding of VFX.
So, instead of just spinning around, Jaeik just spit it out.
(Wouldn’t you like to work with me? At least something that will give Babble a big slap in the back.)
Patrick Lambert squeezed both of Jaeik’s outstretched hands.
Patrick Lambert recalled that Jaeik talking to him that day was like an angel and a devil reaching out to him at the same time.
An angel’s hand to his VFX company, and a devil’s hand to Babble and Dizzy.

Anyway, aside from the fact that Jaeik is like a savior, I knew that in order to prevent something like collaboration with Babel from happening, I had to clearly ask for what I had to ask for.
The minimum required number of people, amount, understanding of film, and even the limits of VFX.
How much can this person really do?
(This is the script for the movie. I hope that only the CEO can see it and maintain security. It would be comfortable to work on knowing the story, right? How to do it. How to do it.)
However, before he could finish his words, Jae-Ik first presented the script for the entire movie.
(Yes Yes!)
It was only natural to keep it a secret. But was a full movie script such an easy thing to get?
In the meantime, the days of fighting and working with Babble seemed to pass before my eyes.
(This, Script 2. Please keep this secure as well. I checked the parts that need VFX separately. It’s an explanation.)
After that, I hurriedly unfolded the script. As Jaeik said, it was written in detail how and how much VFX was needed.
(Have you studied VFX as well?)
(What, a little bit?)
But the content wasn’t serious. It is clearly organized so that it can be grasped at a glance, as well as simple pictures are drawn to help understanding.
It was a script that gave you a sense of how much it would be done just by looking at it.
How could there be such an angelic contractor in the world? I felt like I was going to cry.
‘But at this level, it must be quite large. It seems like a lot of people are going to have to be put in. I need time.’
And let’s think of people and money.
(Please check each scene and tell us the required number of people and the amount accordingly. The time required. It’s better to prepare more slowly than tight, right? Then we will pay 80% of the estimated cost in advance. After all the work is done. The rest You pay extra.)
(Yes? All of the cost and personnel?)
(Of course, isn’t it a way to get as much as you work and spend as much as you need? Everyone has their own lives, but they work overtime. Overtime. There are things that you have to do when you really need them, but I personally don’t like that kind of thing.)
Of course, a contract would be written and conditions attached, but if it was an advance payment, wouldn’t that be enough to turn off the urgent fire right away?
You literally make a dream-like contract like this? The hardships of the past passed before my eyes, but at the same time, the sense of reality in the situation I experienced for the first time in my life was noticeably diminished.
I can’t tell if this is a dream or real life.
(With a contract like this, there won’t be any problem in producing the best results, right?)
Patrick Lambert expressed the goose bumps all over his body.
(Aaah-! I love you. CEO! I will do my best!)
