When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar

Chapter 177

The mountain is said to be high, but (3)

Park Man-deok, manager of the Content Business Division, who received the revised contract, checked the contract carefully. After that, I checked the contract in Chinese. The contract written in Chinese was not something that could be confirmed even if Manager Park Man-deok checked it.

“Are you sure?”

“yes.”

The legal team representative who was the final confirmer swallowed his saliva once and answered.

Manager Park Man-deok stood up and spoke to the employees, who were looking haggard from working overtime for several days due to the sudden progress of work.

“I decided to stamp it with the boss, production company, and Chinese side early tomorrow morning. You’ve had a hard time these past few days! This contract is a huge deal! Performance bonuses will go down. “I’ll tell the boss well... Let’s get off work now!”

Manager Park Man-deok’s words brought some life to the zombie-like expressions of the employees. The employees got up one by one and put on their outerwear. The bonus was a bonus, but I felt even happier right away because I could leave work.

Manager Park Man-deok organized the contract in his folder and picked up his coat, which he had also placed on the chair. Maybe it was because I ate too much bulgogi for a late-night snack, but my stomach seemed to be more bulging than yesterday, but it was okay.

Tomorrow was truly a huge success for both SVS Broadcasting Company and Director Park Man-deok’s personal career.

“Lovers from Space” was a work that raised a lot of concerns within the broadcasting station before production.

Although writer Oh Young-ji writes well, she was a writer who had good grades in family dramas mainly targeting housewives. It was unclear whether such a writer could write a romantic comedy well.

And it wasn’t just a romantic comedy, it was a science fiction romantic comedy.

However, since it was the return of a super star named Wang Hee-jin, it was impossible not to watch it. Just because it was Wang Hee-jin’s comeback film was already enough. KK’s Kang Do-wook was added as the male lead.

There was a reason why broadcasting companies cast idols as main actors despite various controversies over their acting skills.

Topical. Rather than using a nameless supporting actor, using an idol member was much better in terms of popularity and profits.

However, in the case of Do-wook, he was a person who did not have to worry about controversy over his acting ability, so the broadcasting station could call it a ‘big casting’.

In addition, Do-wook was not only a popular star in Korea, but he was also a Korean wave star that swept China and Japan. No matter what the viewer ratings were in Korea, export to China, Japan, etc. was confirmed.

Shortly after the news that Do-wook had been cast was published, sales offers came in from China and Japan.

Since the Korean Wave began to spread in dramas, content exports have been able to generate greater profits than advertisements. There were cases where it became popular domestically, and depending on the casting, there were also cases where it was exported during production.

In fact, even though it was a highly anticipated product, steam often leaked when the lid was opened in Korea, so it was strategic to sell it in advance if possible.

Manager Park Man-deok was somewhat confident of the success of “Lovers from Space” after previewing the tentative filming of episode 1.

Manager Park Man-deok postponed setting export prices to China and Japan. It was a winning bet. There were many people, both from above and below, who had doubts about Director Park Man-deok’s choice.

Director Park thought that even if his predictions were wrong after the broadcast, he would be able to export the average value.

The response after episode 1 aired was tremendous. Manager Park Man-deok waited for the reaction to heat up even more. It was possible because Kang Do-wook, already a Hallyu star, was the lead actor.

As expected, it was the Chinese side that was having trouble, not the SVS side. In addition to Do-wook’s appearance, the content of “Lovers from Space” itself aroused the interest of Chinese people.

After consultation with the production company, Manager Park Man-deok set an export price of 70 million won per episode. The amount was twice as high as the 35 million previously proposed by China.

On the Chinese side, it was unconditionally OK.

The amount and terms of the contract were revised over several days. We have summarized the positions of writer Oh Young-ji and the Chinese broadcaster SVS Broadcasting Company, the drama production company, regarding various copyrights and interests.

All I had to do was stamp the contract tomorrow and it was done.

It was the country’s highest priced export.

Dowook checked his lines in the next scene.

Nam Da-woo, who was next to him, answered the phone and called Do-wook.

“Brother, are you okay with the phone call now?”

“who?”

“Team leader Lee Dae-hyung.”

“Ah......”

Dowook looked inside the set. The filming was in full swing and I had just changed my clothes for the second time. It didn’t seem like it would be over in ten minutes.

“What’s going on...”

Do-wook got up and headed toward the waiting room.

After entering the waiting room, Do-wook received a phone from Nam Da-woo.

“yes. manager. “This is Kang Do-wook.”

-Ah, Mr. Dowook! I’m sorry for disturbing you while you’re working. Mr. Dowook doesn’t come into the office these days... I need to get confirmation, but I can’t put it off any longer.

“No, team leader. it’s okay. It’s a bit tight these days as it’s the last minute. “What’s going on?”

-Another advertisement came in...

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung’s tone of voice was a mixture of joy and sighing. It was a good thing that advertisements came in, but it was also true that there was too much work.

In the case of other KK members and overall advertisements, the work was done through Director Oh Baek-ho, but since there were too many personal advertisements coming in to Do-wook, team leader Lee Dae-hyung and Do-wook were working directly after appearing in the drama.

The current craze of popularity was an opportunity. Dowook had no intention of letting this opportunity pass by. Even though five bodies were not enough, Dowook’s idea was to film as many incoming advertisements as possible.

The money and power held by Director Seo Jung-won... In order to bring them down, Do-wook also had to have it.

Team leader Lee Dae-hyeong was skeptical about Do-wook’s decision this time, as Do-wook had only done major advertisements that were really necessary before and did not seem to have any particular desires for money, but in any case, it was Do-wook’s own choice.

“Ah... As I said, I will do whatever I can. After taking a look, if it doesn’t suit me too well... I’ll go with what the team leader recommended.”

-Can I do that?

“yes.”

Do-wook expressed his trust in team leader Dae-hyung Lee. Team leader Lee Dae-hyung said with a smile.

-Then, I will send the list I compiled through a message to Mr. Do-wook. Please check only the company name and product.

“yes. “Please.”

As soon as I hung up the phone, a message arrived from team leader Lee Dae-hyung.

[First of all, I only selected the ones that matched the price and didn’t overlap with the current advertisements. I will check the reliability of the company and product one more time, but please check with Do-wook first.

-HOTEL HOTEL (Hotel Price Comparison Site) (Middle)

-千歲山 (Healthy Juice) (M)

-ABA (Shoes Editorial Store) (M)

-Chu Chu (Binggeut Confectionery’s New Product Bubble Gum) (M)]

ABA or Binggeut Confectionery Since it was a Korean company, Do-wook knew the place, but the companies that were proposed from China were places that Do-wook was not familiar with.

Dowook, who wrote ‘I confirmed,’ paused his fingers for a moment.
