Chereads / Entertaiment Industry: Behind The Script / Chapter 7 - Bubdha Statue (Part 3)

Chapter 7 - Bubdha Statue (Part 3)

Compared to screenwriting, he is better at marketing.

Every show he works on is always lively during its broadcast, which is good for attracting sponsors, so K-Drama Network likes to use him.

If <> hadn't failed so badly, Kim So-seong might have continued to get by like this for a few more years.

There are actually quite a few screenwriters like him in the industry.

Kim Soseong was also a bit sorry about the money spent on trending topics.

He got the result he wanted, but buying the trending topic used up his savings.

It wasn't like when he first shifted the blame to Im Giseok, when the cost was covered by the show's budget.

As Kim Soseong thought about this and looked at his manager, he saw that the manager's brow was furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

The manager held up his phone, and on the screen was a new post from Im Giseok.

Unlike the simple "Heh" before, this time Im Giseok's post had a big picture.

A shining golden Buddha statue.

[ I swear in front of the Buddha, the failure of <> is not my fault. Who dares to claim otherwise? ]

Im Giseok also tagged all the other screenwriters who were credited before him, including Kim So-seong on his post.

The film and TV industry is very superstitious, and it's common practice to burn incense and pray before starting a shoot to avoid any bad luck.

After Im Giseok's post, the comments attacking him became a bit less harsh.

After all, it's hard to curse at a Buddha statue picture, as it feels more stressful.

Many users who enjoy watching drama were waiting for responses from the several screenwriters.

But after two full hours, none of them had responded to Im Giseok's @ mentions.

[ @Sana_110 Reply: Didn't Kim So-seong just come online? Since he apologized so much for his junior, why hasn't he replied to his junior's @? ]

[ @Fang_Daniel121 Reply: ... I've always had doubts. Im Giseok's name was at the end of the list, so how did he end up being the one who take the responsible in the end? ]

[ TheReasearchX Reply: How about K-Drama Network shows the contract? Whoever got the most money should be the one who takes responsibility. ]

[ @MrVayolence Reply: I wouldn't lie in front of the Buddha. Although I don't support Im Giseok, I think if he dares to say this, he might really not be the one to blame. ]

The other screenwriters stayed silent, hoping that time would make people forget about it.

But whether Im Giseok was too idle or something, he started to @ them every morning.

In the comments, some users even changed their nickname to "Did the screenwriters from <> respond today?" and only posted one line each day—"No."

[ @narendrajee Reply: it's feels like me asking my old boss for compensation, running to the company every day, and finally getting an extra two months' pay. ]

[ @S_Khan1191 Reply: Suddenly think that Im Giseok is like me taking the blame for my boss. Not only taking the blame, but also getting scolded, and in the end, all the credit goes to him. ]
