Chereads / Entertaiment Industry: Behind The Script / Chapter 47 - Turning the Tide

Chapter 47 - Turning the Tide

These screenwriters could only watch as more than 80% of their peers in the industry shared Im Giseok's article.

Among those sharing it were several whose experience and reputation were not less than that of Screenwriter Gong.

If they shared it now, it would be like slapping themselves in the face.

But if they didn't share it, they would seem out of touch with the entire screenwriting industry.

Saving face was important, but keeping up with the trends in the field was equally important.

The most embarrassed were the screenwriters of <> and <>.

No matter how much Im Giseok tagged them on Chirp, they didn't respond, but now they had to proactively share his post, which was a huge humiliation.

One insult might have been bearable, but their comment sections were filled with messages like "The blogger is finally online" and "Did you just get back from abroad?"

Jin Narae and Ha Yeonu were so furious that they pulled out their computers overnight, hoping to write a powerful essay like Im Giseok's.

But after writing a few hundred words, they couldn't come close to Im Giseok's level of organization.

In terms of understanding different genres of screenwriting, they didn't even match this newcomer.

Of course, among the screenwriters who had openly or secretly criticized Im Giseok recently, the one having the hardest time was Kim So-seong.

He really couldn't understand what kind of luck Im Giseok had been having lately.

It was one thing for his short drama <> to become a hit, but now, with just a simple article, how did it catch the attention of such an important figure?

Kim S-seong wasn't the only screenwriter in the industry hiring new writers at low wages, but the article at the Silla National Film Institute's anniversary just happened to be written by Im Giseok.

Given the relationship between Im Giseok and Kim Soseong, it was clear who Im Giseok was targeting.

Sitting in the audience, Kim So-seong already sensed something was wrong, but the fallout came quicker than he expected.

He was just one step away from closing a deal on a project, but then the other party suddenly informed him they were no longer interested in working together.

The celebration event hadn't even finished when he started receiving bad news from several studios.

As for the celebrities he had met through the celebration, who had just been chatting and laughing with him, praising him as a rising star in the screenwriting industry, they now acted as if they didn't even know who he was.

Kim So-seong wasn't so much angry as he was panicking.

Ever since he blamed Im Giseok for the failure of <> things seemed to spiral out of his control—whether it was Im Giseok making a comeback with <> or Im Giseok showing a completely different personality.

In before, Kim Soseong was confident he could turn things around, but now, he felt powerless.
