The people at BingeBox had almost forgotten how they felt the moment they received the script from Emperor Boss.
The pen name Emperor Boss was pretty silly, and the profile picture was of a yellow poussin wearing a crown.
But as soon as they opened the script, the reviewers felt like they had entered a new world.
Short dramas could be written like this?
Even though they were just reading the script, the plot seemed very interesting—if they filmed it, the viewers would probably be tempted to take a look.
"He's coming, he's coming..."
BingeBox eagerly invited Emperor Boss to meet them, not to see what he looked like, but to sign a long-term contract with him.
Among the video platforms, CineHaven TV and ReelRise always compete for first and second places, while BingeBox comes in third (self-proclaimed).
However, CineHaven TV and ReelRise have good working relationships with TV stations, whereas BingeBox fights alone and often gets beaten by both.
Because BingeBox has a hard time getting its hands on outstanding scripts, and even TV stations, which carefully select scripts, sometimes have big failures—so it's even tougher for a video site without connections like them.
Gwon Seongjae was one of the people in charge of BingeBox's short drama project.
On the day the main team was supposed to meet with Emperor Boss, his car broke down, and he arrived at the company almost two hours late.
When he finally got there, he couldn't wait to ask, "How did the talk with the Emperor Boss go?"
His coworkers all had hesitant looks on their faces.
"Did the talks fall apart?" Gwon Seongjae asked.
The coworkers shook their heads again.
Seeing their reactions, Gwon Seongjae was confused, "If the talks didn't fall apart, then we should be able to work together, right?"
"It's not that we can't work together, but... Emperor Boss is Im Giseok."
Even though Gwon Seongjae was usually calm, he couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this.
To be honest, Im Giseok's script was so interesting that even before BingeBox had signed a contract with him, they had already started planning their future promotions.
"So, what does the company plan to do?" Gwon Seongjae asked.
He didn't have to wait long because, compared to Im Giseok's personal reputation, the lure of the script was stronger.
BingeBox didn't even require Im Giseok to stay with the team because his scene transitions were already written in great detail.
The rest of the work could be done by the director.
Im Giseok was completely surprised by how eager BingeBox was.
Just after he finished negotiating the deal with them, they immediately started filming the short drama project.
So, Im Giseok divided his attention between the crew of <
BingeBox even expressed that if the short drama got a good response, they could make up to 100 episodes.
Im Giseok: "…that's awesome."
In fact, Im Giseok didn't know much about BingeBox's current situation.
