Chapter 102 Almost exposed
"That's better, and the new comic has not won the award yet, which means we can directly get the copyright at the lowest cost." Kim Jong-kwon's face was full of smiles when he was able to get another good work.
So Ji-seok didn't know what he was laughing at. If someone else had spoken to him like this, he would have driven the person out long ago.
But this confident "charlatan" is a relative he has long recognized in his heart and is his younger brother. And so many facts have proved his sharp vision, so So Ji-seok just wants to hear what is the reason why he is so sure that this new work will continue to be serialized smoothly and will not die halfway.
"Have you read this comic?" This is the first possibility that So Ji-seop thought of. It is not ruled out that he has too much personal emotions after reading this comic.
"No!"
"No...I said I've seen it a little..."
So Ji-seop immediately glared at his eyes, Kim Jong-kwon's "refresh" answer made him fall into chaos. A person who had never even seen it dared to say that...
"Is the person who painted this cartoon your relative?"
"What are you saying! I have no relatives in my family except grandma!"
"That's your friend?"
"I don't know anyone who draws comics. How could he be my friend!"
"Is that someone Taeyeon knows?"
“…”
Looking at Kim Jong-kwon's extremely speechless expression, So Ji-seok rubbed his chin with his right hand. It seemed that this was not possible, so it was the only possibility...
"Seeing that you are not in good shape, are you sick?"
"ha?"
Kim Jong-kwon was confused by Su Ji-seok's sudden questioning.
But after reacting, he immediately complained loudly in his heart: "It's been so long since I entered the door! You've noticed it!"
But no matter how much I complained, So Ji-seok was also 'concerned' about him. Kim Jong-kwon's face slowed down and explained: "This is the sequelae of drinking too much wine yesterday. It's just that I look a little weak, and I'll be fine after two days of rest."
"I know a very powerful psychologist. Will he help you see next time?" So Ji-seok ignored his explanation, but focused on himself and thought.
Kim Jong Kwon was almost crazy by So Ji-sup's nonsensical questions!
"Brother, what do you want to know?"
"I'm just curious about such a comic that you haven't even read before. Why do you care so much about it? I still think we must win it?" So Ji-seok couldn't help but ask curiously.
Kim Jong-kwon almost blurted out the word "spiritual light", but fortunately, he even shut up.
However, So Ji-seok's doubts still made him feel very troublesome. Although he had fooled these choices with the word "intuition", today his performance was not so easy to get over.
“Part of the reason is intuition…”
As soon as Kim Jong-kwon said the intuition, So Ji-seok curled his lips undeniably. He was tired of listening to these words. Even if Kim Jong-kwon made up a more outrageous story to tell him, he would find it a little newer.
"Other reasons are based on my survey of the market and the preferences of the general public in South Korea today."
Kim Jong Kwon started to make up stories half true and half false without changing his expression. Instead of telling the special opportunity that happened to him and pretending to be him, it would be better to make up some more reliable reasons to satisfy So Ji-seok's curiosity.
Sure enough, So Ji-seok became interested when he heard this and his expression became serious.
"After my investigation, I found that ordinary love themes have been tired of being seen by the current audience. Nowadays, audiences are increasingly pursuing novel stories that have never been seen before. If they are still bloody, they will be destined to be abandoned by more and more viewers." Kim Jong-kwon said, and even brought his sincerity, because this is really some of his views.
So Ji-seok also agrees with it, but everyone understands this principle, and it is not easy to do it well. Otherwise, why are so many clichéd plots used over and over again?
It’s not because it is stable. Although it cannot explode the ratings, as long as you find some handsome men and beautiful women, and then talk about some family matters, love, hate, and affection, there will always be viewers who will buy it.
"So you think "At With God" is a work worthy of adaptation?"
"Of course not. I haven't finished talking yet. The reason I chose it is because the story of Hell Messenger has a considerable market and recognition in China. If you add love elements to it, it will be a fantasy love action drama. Isn't it attractive just to listen to the name?"
Kim Jong-kwon quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, or because of the "spiritual light", he knew what this story about "At With God" was, otherwise it would be revealed.
And So Ji-seok also frowned after hearing Kim Jong-kwon's nonsense.
"I admit that the plots are quite novel, but is this enough just to use? Maybe he should wait until he finishes before making a decision?"
Kim Jong-kwon immediately shook his head and said, "I believe my vision will not be wrong, but your concerns are also correct, just in case this cartoonist doesn't draw well after getting the money. We can do this, sign a priority right of purchase first, attach a part of the deposit, and then wait until he finishes the book, if the quality is still up to standard, then buy all the copyrights."
"But in that case, we will undoubtedly spend a lot of money in vain. I personally think it is more cost-effective to buy this work directly when it is not famous."
So Ji-seok smiled bitterly and found that Kim Jong-kwon is now becoming more and more likely to be a charlatan. Just by speaking out, he would buy a work with an uncertain future. If others change him, he would definitely regard him as a madman...
Unfortunately, So Ji-seok is not the 'other'.
"I hope your vision is as accurate as ever and will not make any mistakes." So Ji-seok sighed and stopped engaging in this issue with him. He couldn't spend much money anyway, so he just treated it as a good deed.
"When did I disappoint Brother Ji Seok?" Kim Jong-kwon's mood unexpectedly got better when he saw So Ji Seok compromise. He was indeed a person with an extremely bad personality. His happiness is always based on the unhappiness of others!
"By the way, you asked me to find famous screenwriters to acquire scripts and have achieved some results, but it really cost a lot of money, alas." So Ji-seok suddenly remembered something again and began to search for something.
