141. There is no eternal first place 2

A red dragon hung from the ceiling of the high-end Chinese restaurant Hwaryong, and a golden dragon was engraved and flashed on the 12 horizontally arranged red columns.

Eugene, overwhelmed by the atmosphere, exclaimed with admiration.

"I think this place is really expensive. Would it be okay?

"It's expensive, but you can't come if you like it.

not to the extent About 100,000 won per person?',

Eugene, who was looking around, said in a low voice.

"How do you pay 100,000 won for a meal? If so, do you know how many bowls of soup there are?"

You don't want to do that kind of calculation when you get it, do you?

How much money does writer Lee Ji-yeon earn in a year?

"Twenty bowls of soup, brother."

Know. Still, quietly.]]. You don't say things like that when you get eaten.

"Still, if there are three, soup is "

Eugene, who counts everything as soup, was a little disturbed because of this.

After quieting Eugene, who was noticing, he followed the guiding staff.

When I followed the staff into the reserved room number 7, the prize was set in advance.

Although it was the 'Hwayo' course, which cost a whopping 150,000 won per person, he did not tell Eugene the amount.

Count how many bowls of soup again

i think i will

"I hear a lot."

thank you. Writer."

As Lee Ji-yeon lifted up her chopsticks, the course dishes began to come in one by one.

While eating, Eugene was immersed in the entertainment industry story told by Ji-yeon Lee.

In the meantime, I was struggling with how to inform the bankruptcy of the Red Moon written in the diary.

[Everyday V10]

[Date: August 5, 2020]

-PM 11:00 drama production company Red Moon Bankruptcy Countermeasures Meeting. 6F conference room

In the name of God, the crank-in is scheduled for July 1, the beginning of next month.

The broadcast schedule of MBS is the end of next month, July 29, and the bankruptcy of the Red Moon is August 5.

In other words, when the second episode of ; In the Name of God was broadcast, the production company went bankrupt.

sounds like it was thrown away

The dramas produced by Red Moon, which were in full swing before their return, suffered a sharp decline in ratings.

Because the company went bankrupt, the production staff were terrified that they might not get paid, and the actors were caught up in the atmosphere and could not concentrate on acting.

Although the broadcasting stations rushed to fix it, they could not completely restore the morale of the staff who had been messed up.

At that time, the production failure of In the Name of God was due to the recovery of the investment.

it was known

But looking at it now, there was a 100% chance that Red Moon's representative Lee Sang-sik had lied.

Anyway, I had to let writer Lee Ji-yeon know that it was going to happen.

I put my chopsticks aside and cautiously told the writer Lee Ji-yeon, who was enjoying the prawns.

Writer.

why? Is lunch good? Why don't you eat all the time?

it can't be bad

I can't eat without

But that's not the point.

"Writer. How long have you been in contact with Red Moon?"

Well. After the last Choi Jun-woo replacement incident, I took care of myself, so I left it for a while. I haven't been able to contact you lately because I've been busy editing the script.

Writer Lee Ji-yeon, who had put one more shrimp in the front plate, stopped using her chopsticks when she saw my hardened expression on my face.

"If you have something to say, do it. Is there any problem with the red moon?"

" I think the financial situation is very bad."

Writer Lee Ji-yeon sighs.

"There's no way Juno would talk nonsense to me. Yes. how much? How bad is that?"

"So much that drama production collapses."

Writer Lee Ji-yeon's face was wrinkled.

"You don't have that much money? The red moon under heaven? Are you going to be number one in the drama production company?"

Yes. From what I know

I think it will be difficult to pass next month. The accident is likely to happen around the beginning of August."

Writer Lee Ji-yeon looked at the dried shrimp and put it down.

"Your appetite is gone."

sorry. writer. I should have told you sooner, but I was late to check."

Nope. Yuno isn't even a god, how do you know all that? I have no regrets."

Writer Lee Ji-yeon, who had been thinking for a while, opened her mouth again.

"I'm not doing this here, shall I go to the Red Moon now? Let's go together, Yuno and Eugene."

Yes? Why me and Eugene?"

"Why? Do I now have an assistant writer or a manager? That doesn't mean Eugene can't go home alone. Let's just go and check it out for ourselves. I'll be sure to go there myself. is not it?

"Okay. Then you do it."

We didn't even finish our meal and got up.

Eugene asks to pack up the leftovers

He clearly ignores his eyes.

"Oppa, when you run out of food, soup rice "

Eugene whispered a small whisper in my ear, but I ignored it again.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you."

* * *

Red Moon is Korea's best drama production company founded by Lee Sang-sik, a former MBS PD former president.

True to its reputation as Korea's number one production company in name and reality, it has recently been reaching out to film production.

However, the moment I arrived in front of the company, I immediately understood why the company was experiencing financial difficulties.

'I spent all my company money on real estate.'

The newly built 10-story office building is the most striking and colorful building near Exit 3 of Gangnam Station.

all.

It seemed that the money spent building this new office building was a hundred rupees, a thousand times more than the damage suffered by the overturning of the previous production of ; In the Name of God .

squeaky.

We went down to the underground parking lot, parked our car, and went straight up to the lobby.

"It's eerie to every corner."

Writer Lee Ji-yeon stuck out her tongue.

Yeah. It wasn't like this when I was there before. In the meantime, the interior must have been redone."

The inner walls of the building were all covered with the finest marble, so it felt like I was in the headquarters of a large corporation.

As soon as the desk receptionist saw Lee Ji-yeon's face, he immediately contacted the intercom and escorted us to the CEO's office.

As I got out of the elevator, this time I saw a luxurious carpet all over the floor.

In a word, this is enough to cover the building with money.

"It's over there."

Let's go into the CEO's office Lee Sang-sik

The representative greeted us with a bright smile.

Gosh! this author. How without contact!"

why? Are you here where I can't come?

Hahaha. It's a farm. If you want, I'll give you the artist's studio on the top floor, but he refuses, and he's rude for nothing.

After hearing about Red Moon's financial instability, writer Lee Ji-yeon responded with a cold expression.

"Okay. I came to check the production status today, so I know that."

CEO Lee Sang-sik flinched, but soon

He changed his complexion and answered.

Ugh. Why are you grumpy again? Didn't I handle the last time well? There will be no mistakes this time, so please don't worry."

The last incident refers to the drama overturned due to the Choi Jun-woo incident.

"That's it, you know when you see it."

CEO Lee Sang-sik looked at Eugene as if he was in trouble and quietly turned around.

"You also brought Eugene with you today."

CEO Lee Sang-sik shook his head.

nice to meet you. Eugene Mr. I'm looking good at the blue sky. Seeing that my strength doesn't go away even in the middle, I think I'll be able to get past 25% before the end of the show.

Thank you for a good look.

And it was my turn.

However, the eyes of CEO Lee Sang-sik looking at me were not so favorable.

"Is that Assistant Jung Yunho?"

"It's nice to meet you. This representative."

greatness! Thanks to that one who raised the job

Do you know how much trouble I've been through If we had informed us in advance, we would have handled it very well."

I was prepared for the fact that I would not be seen as the person who caused the Choi Jun-woo incident.

But I didn't know how to say it as if it was my fault.

It prevented the drama from falling over while it was airing, so it prevented the worst from going.

But instead of saying thank you, are you pointing arrows of resentment at me?

It was absurd, but casually

greeted

Because there was no reason to set up a date with the CEO of a company that would soon go bankrupt.

"I made a big mistake because I didn't have enough experience yet."

"No what. It would be a mistake. Anyway, let's put the past story behind and start anew."

After the brazenly smiling CEO Lee Sang-sik finished his greetings, he started a lengthy briefing about the current production situation.

Spending a huge production cost, and attaching the right staff to 'God's Name'

to make it the best drama

However, Writer Lee Ji-yeon did not listen to Lee Sang-sik's words even with the back of her ear, and made one request.

" So, you can't do it?

"Writer. The drama production costs are suddenly paid into a separate consignment account.

What do you do if you let it happen?"

Even if the company goes bankrupt, the money in the trust account cannot be used for anything other than drama production costs.

So, just putting the production costs into a consignment account proves that the company's financials are strong.

Writer Lee Ji-yeon tried to check the financial situation of Red Moon by a method commonly used in the industry.

However, as expected, Lee Sang-sik rejected the proposal of Lee Ji-yeon with a troubled expression.

"Our company produces more than 20 dramas. Money has to come and go, and if you tie money to one in the name of God, won't it cause problems with money liquidity?"

"So you can't?"

"It's not that I can't, it's the circumstances, so please understand."

Writer Lee Ji-yeon looked into Lee Sang-sik's eyes and sighed.

"Okay, I guess I asked too much. Sorry.

Writer Lee Ji-yeon stood up quietly.

Eugene. Yuno. Let's go because goodbye is over.

After waking up less than 10 minutes after arriving, CEO Lee Sang-sik hurriedly grabbed writer Lee Ji-yeon.

"Ouch! It's been a long time since you've been here, but if you just leave, I'm sorry. Let's have dinner together."

Nope. Don't worry, we just came here to eat.

CEO Lee Sang-sik kept a sad expression on his face.

"Then I'll see you next week when I audition for an actress. support this time

There are over two thousand people. Uh-huh."

The face of CEO Lee Sang-sik, who smiled wildly, was only proud of himself.

While I was waiting for the elevator, CEO Lee Sang-sik, who came out to see me off, tapped my shoulder.

"Dr. Jeong. Do you have a schedule for Eugene today?"

Yes. We have about two schedules."

I lied because I didn't want to hang out with CEO Lee Sang-sik.

Lee Sang-sik, the CEO, made a disappointing expression, and once again put pressure on him.

all.

"Can we delay the schedule? Just today, a Chinese investor is coming and he is a huge fan of Eugene."

"Are you a fan?"

Yes. It's called Zhang Wei. He's a media tycoon in Shanghai, and he said he always wanted to see Jin Yoo when he came to Korea."

In an instant, I almost poked my fist in the face of CEO Lee Sang-sik.

Chairman Zhang Wei.

The chairman of Hwayeon Media Group, he is famous for revealing his dark colors.

Using investment as an excuse, I used to have drinks with Korean female celebrities and do things that are hard to even put into words.

It's a raw color to introduce you to such a crazy person.

I had to struggle to cool off my boiling anger.

Because Zhang Wei's behavior is something that people will only know in a few years from now.

"I'm sorry, but the schedule is difficult to remove."

The impression of CEO Lee Sang-sik was wrinkled, whether he or she did not like my answer.

all.

"Ts. What are you going to do with your young friend making your social life so cramped? Aren't you going to work with me?

As soon as CEO Lee Sang-sik spoke again with a look of displeasure, writer Lee Ji-yeon spoke with a cold expression.

"This representative. One of those schedules is mine, are you going to keep annoying me like that?"

CEO Lee Sang-sik made an apologetic expression.

"I made a mistake because I didn't know the situation. Sorry. so many VIP guests

Because you like Eugene...

huh! If you like it, I tell you to watch a drama or a drama!"

Lee Sang-sik smiled hard and bowed his head.

Hahaha. Still, you look back a lot. And I'm also a fan of the author, so when will we all have dinner together?"

Writer Lee Ji-yeon calmly turned her head to see if she didn't want to have a long conversation.

When I got on the elevator and went down to the underground parking lot, the writer Lee Ji-yeon was courageous.

say it

"Once again, Yuno was right. That guy. no money.

How angry he was, the writer Lee Ji-yeon described CEO Lee Sang-sik as that guy.

The moment I confirmed that writer Lee Ji-yeon had made up her mind to change the production company, I asked to put a wedge in it.

"Writer. If so, are you going to change the manufacturer?"

"It should be. Provision to make it easier to cancel the contract by yourself when you sign the contract again after the last time the arrangement was overturned

I put it in."

Last time when the suspicion of Choi Jun-woo was revealed.

Red Moon did not listen to writer Lee Ji-yeon for a while and insisted that she would continue to use Choi Jun-woo.

It is said that the writer Lee Ji-yeon, who was almost in trouble because of this, re-signed the contract with a clause that could immediately cancel the contract by paying a small penalty.

Writer Lee Ji-yeon immediately gave instructions to her personal lawyer.

Huh. Kim Byun. contract to our house

bring some I'm going to cancel my contract with Red Moon, so prepare well and come.

After the phone call, Lee Ji-yeon let out a long sigh.

And he warned Eugene in a low voice so that he could not hear.
