Episode 119

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

This was JC ENM’s new building. Among all the departments, this was the Publicity Department, which could be considered the core division.

 

“Yes, I’ve just sent over the materials. Please take a look and confirm!”

 

“The release date has been set. We’ll quickly organize the screening schedule and contact you soon. Yes, yes. Oh my, we have to tell our Reporter Heo first, of course!”

 

Everyone was busily making calls somewhere. It was the day the official release date came out for a movie that JC ENM was handling investment and distribution for.

 

“Shin Rookie-. Did you finish uploading to social media?”

 

“Yes! I’ll check the view count.”

 

Shin Rookie opened a new window on his monitor. The video was already displaying the subtitle written at the end.

 

 

 

[July 24th Grand Opening]

 

 

 

‘They really picked the release date properly.’

 

Anticipated films generally need to choose their release dates very carefully. This is because they need to maximize the box office effect of marketing.

 

First Rule. Wednesday Release

 

It’s the most preferred day in the Korean film market, and it can continue the box office trend through the weekend, increasing the possibility of success. And most importantly.

 

‘It can encourage audiences to watch during the weekdays first.’

 

Then it spreads by word of mouth and looks good for the weekend. The last week is ‘Culture Day’, so there are many audiences who try it casually.

 

Second Rule. Specific Season Selection.

 

It’s a very classic choice. Releasing in July-August during summer vacation and holiday season can aim for maximum audience mobilization, but it’s a bit of a gamble.

 

‘If it overlaps with overseas blockbuster movies, it’s over.’

 

Similarly, December-January is also good for attracting family audiences. Long-term box office success is possible by targeting the holiday season.

 

Third Rule. Golden Holiday.

 

It’s about targeting when public holidays like Children’s Day or Liberation Day overlap for 3-4 days or more. And historically, most ten-million-viewer movies came out in July and December.

 

‘ is also opening in July!’

 

Holiday special effects, ‘Culture Day’, and refreshing action that fits the season well. All conditions aligned perfectly.

 

Shin Rookie had a really good feeling about it. All the ideal formulas for recording ten million viewers were completely in place.

 

“The teaser trailer really came out well-.”

 

While everyone was frantically busy, Shin Rookie muttered while looking at the monitor.

 

“Just one thing is disappointing…”

 

He quietly played the teaser trailer once more.

 

The sound of sirens grew louder beyond the dark screen. Soon, a low and heavy drum beat was laid down.

 

The first to reveal himself was Yoon Hyeonjo in a white shirt. His neat appearance showed he was clearly an elite at first glance.

 

In front of him was an angry Commissioner.

 

-How can you work like this, you crazy bastard!

 

He threw documents at Yoon Hyeonjo. The papers fluttered like pure white feathers. Soon, with a thud! sound, a thug’s face getting smashed was caught on screen.

 

Bang-!

 

The thug fell to the floor. The ground was already messy with thugs who had been beaten and knocked unconscious. The camera slowly moved up.

 

In front of them was the person who had just thrown the punch. Gwak Cheolsik covered his mouth with one hand.

 

-Look at these guys whining? Bro went really easy on them.

 

Behind him, the team members sighed one by one. The Violent Crimes Unit 1 Chief shouted.

 

-Hey you crazy bastard!!!! How can you work like this!

 

Subtitles appeared with playful sound effects.

 

 

 

[Subtitle: A detective who only uses his brain, a detective who only uses his body]

 

[Subtitle: A mission given to both of them simultaneously?]

 

 

 

-Funny Series?

 

The close-up scene of Yoon Hyeonjo holding documents quickly switched to Gwak Cheolsik.

 

Opposite to Yoon Hyeonjo, he was wearing a khaki field jacket. The scar on one side of his cheek properly showed that he was from violent crimes.

 

-What is this?

 

With a bang! sound effect, large subtitles hit against a black background.

 

 

 

[Subtitle: The plague that spread throughout the Gangnam area]

 

 

 

The junior detective across from Gwak Cheolsik answered while slurping instant coffee from a paper cup. Like Gwak Cheolsik, the violent crimes detective was wearing a khaki vest.

 

-It’s the hottest thing at Gangnam clubs these days,

 

The junior police officer across from Yoon Hyeonjo answered while holding his forehead. The elite detective and the physical violent crimes officer were compared at a glance.

 

-They say after doing it, you laugh like crazy.

 

 

 

[Subtitle: End the outbreak of the Funny Series]

 

 

 

The screen split to show both Yoon Hyeonjo and Gwak Cheolsik simultaneously. Both their expressions twisted.

 

-But why do I,

 

-This unlucky.

 

-Have to work with this thug.

 

-Together?

 

The screen quickly transitioned to a club.

 

Red lighting flashed to a fast beat in the dark and flashy space. The camera work moved as if digging inward, matching the frantic club music.

 

 

 

[Subtitle: Special Mission ]

 

 

 

The camera that went up to the 2nd floor headed to the very inside. There were balloons with smile marks drawn on them and people laughing and chattering. The table was messy with envelopes with smile stickers and liquor bottles.

 

Crash-!

 

Someone beyond the screen created a sharp bursting sound. The music stopped briefly. The person holding the bottle didn’t even notice blood dripping and swung the bottle once more.

 

-Ahahahahaha!!!

 

Then with insane laughter, the music continued again. The laughter that didn’t fit the situation as if nothing had happened naturally sent chills.

 

The screen transitioned to show a car crossing the Gangnam area.

 

Yoon Hyeonjo’s cold eyes driving the car were colored with anger. Dressed neatly in a suit, he shouted at the person on the call.

 

-There’s a limit to not making sense, how are we supposed to get into a party with influencers gathered, huh?

 

Bang-!

 

His body shook greatly back and forth. Yoon Hyeonjo, who irritably closed and opened his eyes once, knocked on the rear car’s window.

 

-Come out.

 

The window rolled down very slowly. Yeoreum appeared with teary eyes.

 

-See? I told you I could do it, right? Don’t just use your head, you need to use your body, your body!

 

Gwak Cheolsik’s voice from the other end of the phone overlapped.

 

 

 

[Subtitle: What we need to fight]

 

 

 

What followed was a refreshing action scene.

 

In the narrow club corridor, Gwak Cheolsik beating up gang members indiscriminately and Yoon Hyeonjo methodically breaking arms were shown alternately.

 

-Ah shit.

 

-We really don’t match.

 

And the two sighed while looking at each other. The thugs that Gwak Cheolsik had beaten were all bloody and writhing on the floor, while the thugs that Yoon Hyeonjo had suppressed were all unconscious and collapsed.

 

They were truly two different people, but.

 

-Die!

 

-You bastards!

 

They took care of the gang members who tried to hit them from behind with bottles.

 

Like reliable comrades watching each other’s backs.

 

The background music had become heavy at some point. Siren sounds layered one after another. As if explaining that this opponent was the final boss.

 

-Hello there, cops.

 

It was a gang from the called the MZ Gang. The gangster, wearing clothes covered in luxury brand logos, playfully waved his hand. Behind his smiling face, Funny Balloons floated around like in a fairy tale world.

 

-Oh, hello. Big brother’s here.

 

-Did you come to socialize? Don’t bother greeting us.

 

The Boss looked back and forth between the two men and burst into laughter. Then he deliberately crunched and chewed the capsule in his hand.

 

-How about it, want some candy too, old men?

 

Gwak Cheolsik glanced at Yoon Hyeonjo for a moment, and Yoon Hyeonjo nodded as if to say ‘do whatever you want.’

 

What followed was an action scene with tremendous impact.

 

The sound of thick fists mercilessly connecting could be heard, and on screen, the Boss, swollen from being beaten, smiled viciously.

 

The Boss, who had been relaxed just moments before, screamed.

 

-Do it by the law, damn it!

 

-Yeah. Big brother wants to do it by the law?

 

 

 

[Subtitle: They are above the law]

 

 

 

-Call my lawyer quickly!

 

-Ah~. You like the law, huh.

 

Gwak Cheolsik asked back, and Yoon Hyeonjo made his judgment. Standing with his hands behind his back, Yoon Hyeonjo watched as Gwak Cheolsik crushed the criminal.

 

-This is faster than the law.

 

Then both men answered in unison. A quick punch flew toward the gangster’s face. He collapsed unconscious, bleeding with a crack! sound.

 

 

 

[Subtitle: Faster Than the Law]

 

[Subtitle: Grand Opening July 24th]

 

 

 

In 1 minute and 30 seconds, it properly showed what kind of story this movie was.

 

Not only the chemistry between the two men, but the action was really refreshing.

 

‘Perfect movie to watch in summer!’

 

It was thanks to gathering only actors with diction good enough not to bother even Shin Rookie, who had sensitive ears.

 

Usually dialogue gets drowned out and sounds like mumbling amidst all the breaking and crashing sounds, but didn’t have that problem.

 

‘The only downside is that Han Yeoreum appears too little.’

 

Shin Rookie recalled the making video he had received and felt disappointed about Yeoreum appearing in just one scene. Shin Rookie refreshed the page to check the comments.

 

 

 

-Wow crazy Pi Chaewon is in it lololol almost didn’t recognize her with different hair

 

 

 

There was someone who recognized Yeoreum. As Shin Rookie smiled proudly, a dark shadow fell behind him.

 

“Our rookie-. Everyone’s working their asses off and what are you do-ing-. Hehe…”

 

It was Team Leader Hong, smiling warmly but with unchanged eyes.

 

“Hurry up and make those calls! Did you check the premiere invitations, promotional events, and the goods production? Did you or didn’t you, punk!”

 

“I’ll do it! I’m doing it right now, yes!”

 

And so, simultaneously with the trailer upload, articles spread everywhere.

 

began being promoted as this year’s anticipated film as soon as it revealed itself.

 

 

 

[ Han Yeoreum, perfect transformation into influencer… Chemistry with Gwak & Yoon]

 

[Han Yeoreum, from to ? Rising as a trending actor]

 

[‘What a unique presence~’ Rookie actor Han Yeoreum, now appearing in movies… Shows herself in teaser]

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“Yeah… the reaction’s not bad…”

 

Clack- Clack-.

 

Fingers diligently tapping the laptop keyboard created a loud noise.

 

The short nails with clear bite marks should have hurt when they dug into the flesh, but she didn’t care at all.

 

Seeing that the post she wrote had made it to Best within just a few hours, the corners of her mouth turned up.

 

 

 

[Nate Hall/ Best Talk Talk/ Music N’s name is really like We Got Married lol jpg]
