94 – Filming (3)
“Don’t worry, he’s that famous.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
If you take pictures of people like me and publish a photo book, you will fail.
I feel sorry for no reason.
I feel sorry for the representative who recommended me for no reason.
“Then, shall we slowly move the location?”
“Location? Do you mean direction?”
“Oh, of course I’m talking about the filming location.”
I’ve been filming for a few hours so far, but does that mean there’s still more to film?
I thought it would end soon…!
“Our company only has a few concept sets, right? So we’ve already rented some here and there.”
“Hey…Here and there…”
“Which setting do you like first? A school or an indoor garden?”
I guess you’re not tired and can still take a lot of pictures.
I became even more scared of the director and staff who were giving me an eerie smile.
***
“Thank you for your hard work!”
When the director announced that all filming was completed,
The staff started greeting each other, saying they did a good job today.
This is a greeting that is considered basic courtesy at our agency.
I also bowed my head and expressed my gratitude to the staff.
And when the greetings were over, the director came towards us.
He laughed loudly and scratched his head.
“Yes, but Seonghwan followed along well, so it ended quickly.”
“It took almost a week…Is it fast…?”
“hahahahaha, it usually takes a month to make a pictorial.”
After the first day, whenever I had time after school, I was called over to take pictures.
I used to think taking pictures was too simple.
In common sense, a pictorial means a photo taken against various backgrounds and wearing various clothes.
Isn’t this meant to be compiled, published, and sold?
This is definitely not someone who can finish it in one day.
“I have some time left, how about that?”
“That’s it?”
“So…A swimsuit or underwear-like concept…”
The director put his mouth to my ear and started whispering quietly.
He asked me if I wanted to try this or that.
I heard that male celebrities also have pictorials taken in places like swimsuits or bathhouses.
It seems like they are adding them as services one by one.
“Hmm…I’m not that bad.”
“So… Then…?!”
“If only the director can handle Ara…”
“Ugh….”
No matter how famous the director is,
There is no way to win against Ara.
Both physically and locationally.
“I can’t help it. Seonghwan is a married man, so I hope readers will understand.”
“I’m sure you’ll understand, it’s been that way even now.”
I’m 20 years old, so I’m very young in both QTube and the entertainment industry.
He is receiving various conveniences just because he is a married man.
There may be a reason why he is Ara’s husband, but surprisingly, I don’t know what people ask me for.
Should I say the water level is a little low?
The fact that she looks a bit delicate may also be part of the reason.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work until today.”
“Thank you for taking such beautiful pictures.”
“Rather, it was an honor for me to vote for Seonghwan.”
“If you say that, I’m right….”
“hahahahaha!”
I don’t know what’s funny, but what I said was sincere.
Because this director was more famous and more popular than I thought.
He was the director of a movie that, although a bit old, had over 10 million viewers.
“When the photo book is completed, I will send one to your home.”
“Is it possible to have two? Ara said she would like to keep it in a vacuum.”
“Of course, I have to send Ara’s items separately.”
“Of course…”
Why am I a bit worried?
Still, he was famous for taking good care of people.
I just smiled bitterly and came out.
‘But I finished it!’
It was annoying for a week, but now that it’s over, I feel refreshed and good.
Well, on the day of the sale, I might get anxious and bite my nails.
***
On the day of Yoo Seong-hwan’s photobook release date.
It has been decided to sell in Seoul and Busan, Korea.
Yoo Seong-hwan’s photobook that began to be promoted
Even before its release, it began to spread through word of mouth.
I started creating big and small events one by one.
If it were a small problem, it was a barrage of phone calls to the agency.
The big problem was people setting up tents and waiting in front of sales outlets a week before release.
Still, this problem could be easily solved.
They had a strict policy that they would not sell to anyone who lined up before the day.
So, people who had been waiting in line before release had no choice but to return.
It seemed to be resolved to some extent, but…
Because of that incident, the situation in front of the sales office became even more chaotic that day.
“If you arrived early, please go to the back of the line and wait in line!”
It was so bad that even the agency’s employees had to help.
It was very confusing.
Among them, Yoo Seong-hwan’s friend Kang Jeong-hwan also started early in the morning.
I was organizing the people standing in line.
“Whoa…”
“Why are you sighing all of a sudden?”
A young-looking employee sighed in the cold weather.
She also wore fur gloves, so she seemed like a woman who would be popular with men for some reason.
“I also wanted to have Seonghwan’s photobook…”
“Couldn’t you have left our share…”
“I hope so.”
Employees from the same company also had a chimney-like desire to stand in that long line.
The photobook being sold this time is not being sold online.
If uploaded without permission, strict legal liability will be imposed.
This is because the CEO directly posted a post on SNS.
“A pictorial that only buyers can see… Makes you want to buy it somehow.”
“The CEO is also a really bad person.”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Great… Representative…!”
The woman who appeared behind them is the main culprit behind the release of this photo book.
She was the representative who was also the one who created the chaos in this place.
It wasn’t a joke, but the words I used were not good.
The new employee got nervous for a moment and his face and body froze in an instant.
“It’s a joke. It’s a joke. And of course we’ve prepared it for our employees, so don’t worry.”
“Thank you, CEO!”
“Thank you so much!”
After being greeted appropriately by two people,
The CEO took out her cell phone from her pocket.
In fact, the reason she appeared at her store was for no other reason than
This is to hold a surprise event.
She recently found enjoyment in selling goods.
Distributing or selling limited goods in small quantities at events held by agencies, etc. She was pursuing her personal hobbies.
So, when printing this photo book, it costs 1 copy per 100 copies.
This is a 3-page appendix containing rare photos that are not found in other photobooks.
Employees… No, the reason why we didn’t even tell Yoo Seong-hwan, the main character of the photo book, was
It was intended to create buzz by releasing it on the day of sale.
At the same time as the CEO posted that fact on SNS,
The mobile phones of those waiting in line rang at the same time.
“Rare…Appendix…?”
“It’s an appendix that contains shots of Seonghwan’s school uniform…?”
“One book out of 100…? Isn’t that too much?”
“But I really want it.”
“Please…God Buddha….”
The girls began praying to the gods as a group, hoping that a rare appendix would be given to them.
The male friends who followed together were horrified as a group.
Because only one photobook is sold per person.
They are poor beings who have been mobilized.
“If this is going to be the case, why don’t they at least reprint limited cards through limited distribution!”
“That’s not right! They say how important it is to preserve value.”
They may not know it, but it is not a reprint, but a pack containing limited edition cards.
Because it was scheduled to be distributed in one pack per volume.
This time, compared to the last time, it could be said that Hye-ja’s composition was better.
And then, when the hour hand started pointing to 9
The door to the sales office swung open and sales of the photo book began.
***
“hehehe…”
I got a cell phone with high security and put all of Ara’s photos in it.
Of course, 5 photos taken under conditions of no water level restrictions are also included here.
“Seonghwan, what are you doing?”
“I was looking at my sister’s photo.”
“As long as I don’t take pictures… I can show it at any time…”
“Why can’t I take pictures?”
“It’s a shame!”
Isn’t it shameful to show it?
Sometimes Ara’s values are a bit strange.
“By the way, today is the day we sell photobooks.”
A sudden thought occurred to me.
The clock was already showing 12 o’clock, so it must have already been an hour since sales started.
“Photobook? I heard it’s already sold out?”
“Huh? I guess they started selling a little faster than expected?”
“No? They said it was all sold out in 2 hours after it went on sale.”
What does this mean?
I heard that it will take some time for at least the first batch of production to be sold out.
“Oh, they said that only the stores in Seoul were sold out, and there were still some left in Busan.”
“But didn’t you say that half and half of the quantity was prepared?”
“Because they didn’t tell us that, some people came all the way to Seoul.
They’re all heading down to Busan right now. Well, they say it looks like everything in Busan will be sold out soon.”
“Uh… That’s the entire first batch of production that was sold, right?”
“Yeah, didn’t you say you don’t have to worry?”
Didn’t you say that the first production volume was 5,000 volumes?
Is it possible to sell everything in 2 hours?
