Chapter 55: Advertisement Preparation

After riding in the director’s car for a while, I saw a huge building outside the car window.

Game company TG. Most people call it T.G. or Threegame.

It was created by people who were crazy about games for games, by games, and for games.

The Hellon Chronicles that I played were also from here.

“It’s really big.”

The director smiled proudly at my words and entered the parking lot.

“We’ve arrived.”

Following the director’s guidance, I entered the TG building, where employees were moving busily with their ID cards hanging around their necks.

My pink hair, military uniform on my shoulders, and Snow White on my head drew attention with every step I took.

“This is an exhibition hall.”

There was also a space prepared for tours inside the building.

While looking around the place where TG’s life story was listed, I also noticed the Hellon Chronicles.

“I played Hellon.”

“Oh, really? How was it?”

“It was so much fun. I wanted to squirm when I saw Hellbungi writhing around with his sword and shield.”

The director smiled and said that Hellon has been upgraded to match the upward standardization and has become quite good.

After going around here and there with the director, we arrived at the filming studio.

“No one is here.”

“The other room is in the middle of filming. This is where Han Ga-eul will be filming.”

As I was talking to the director while looking at the empty filming set, a person came in from behind.

“Hello.”

“Welcome, director.”

The director and the person called director, who was wearing square glasses and had a strict impression, exchanged greetings.

“This is Han Ga-eul, who is the promotional model for Panic Field this time.”

“Hello. This is Han Ga-eul.”

The director stared blankly at me at my greeting, then came to his senses and greeted me.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a director in charge of filming commercials. This is the first time I’ve seen someone this beautiful. I thought you came out of a game.”

Director, we have to film quickly. This is definitely going to be a hit.”

The director answered, spouting off words in a loud voice.

“I haven’t signed a contract yet?”

The director, who had been spouting off words at a rapid pace, widened his eyes at my single word.

“Huh?”

The director, who had been looking at the director, smiled awkwardly.

“We haven’t signed a contract yet and that’s why you’re looking around the building.”

“Oh my, Director. We absolutely have to do this.”

“I know that too.”

I could see them talking among themselves, muttering things down.

[Bang Jang-ryeon, turn on the screen because it’s stuffy]

[Hey, the director’s pockets are so warm]

[Are you ASMR? LOL]

[We can’t film because it’s the TG building LOL Just listen]

The director who had been talking to the director came up to me.

“Han Ga-eul, the director here is an expert who specializes in filming everything from commercials to music videos. I’m sure he’ll film you really well.”

I saw the director looking at me with sparkling eyes at the director’s words.

“By the way, can I show you our kids while we’re filming?”

The director turned his head to the director as if it wasn’t his area of responsibility.

“What do you mean by our kids?”

“Han Ga-eul is an internet broadcaster. I think that’s what the viewers are talking about.”

“Oh, you’re an internet broadcaster.”

The director thought for a moment and then shook his head.

“Revealing the production process midway is one way. However, when Ga-eul’s advertisement is released, it will have a huge impact. I think it would be a shame to miss that.”

[We want to see the host too]

[That’s right]

[But the host is the only one who thinks about us]

I simply said that because I wanted to be with the viewers, but after hearing the director’s words, I thought it was right and nodded.

“Oh, and this is Snow White.”

At my words, Snow White, who had been rolling around on my head, extended her front paw toward the director.

“Wow, she’s so smart and cute.”

The director reached out and touched one of her fingers to match Snow White’s small front paw.

“How about filming this friend too? She’s smart, so I don’t think it’ll interfere with filming, and I think that the character of Ga-eul will come to life even more.”

While talking about filming with the two of them, they said they were hungry, so we moved to the cafeteria.

“Can we film with just me and the food?”

“Yes. There’s no problem here.”

At the director’s words, he set up a stand on the table and started broadcasting the screen.

“This is the TG cafeteria.”

I showed the viewers the bulgogi and various side dishes that I had piled up on a plate.

[Bulgogi looks delicious]

[TG class, lol]

“I only got a lot of delicious things.”

As I was about to eat, I felt a tap on my head and put my hands in my pockets.

“Status window.”

[Tiring!]

Now, I can open the status window just by whispering, which I’ve become good at.

I quickly bought some food for Baekseol while looking at the store and pretended to take it out of my pockets.

“Baekseol, eat.”

Baekseol, who was above my head, jumped down, took the bellflower I was holding in my hand, and climbed up onto my shoulder.

I guess Baekseol’s resting place is the head of the room and the table is her shoulder.

[¬¬¬¬¬¬ So funny]

I saw the director and the supervisor looking at Baekseol as if they were curious.

“Director, can I have the contract from earlier?”

“Are you signing the contract here?”

“I don’t really like dragging it out. But I don’t know much about contracts.”

“If you read it, I’ve included a lot of clauses that are favorable to Han Ga-eul. Because of that, I got scolded a lot.”

I saw the director with a bitter smile while handing over the contract.

“Isn’t a contract a silent war? Why did you have to do that?”

“Han Ga-eul, the viewers are watching. It’s a bit scary.”

[Scream!]

[Scream is x2]

“Our kids are good.”

I saw the director’s mouth trembling as he smiled at my words.

Leaving the director behind who was sweating profusely, I glanced over the contract and saw clauses listed intuitively, perhaps for my benefit.

Three Game (hereinafter referred to as A) and Han Ga-eul (hereinafter referred to as B) sign the contract as follows.

1. Advertisement Content

A. TG’s game Panic Field advertisement filming and promotion

2. Contract amount
   A. Deposit: 170 million won (187 million won including VAT)
   B. Post-payment

3. Advertisement broadcast and date and time details attached
   A. Production method: Outsourcing (hiring director), our company (studio, props, manpower)
   B. Notify me of the advertisement start date…

Even though I have absolutely no knowledge of the relevant contents, the contract was easy to read without any particular issues.

“But isn’t the deposit wrong?”

The amount written on the summary of the contract I had seen earlier was much larger than the number written on the paper, and the contract for the character release on the back was the same.

“This amount includes tax so that I can receive the deposit I mentioned earlier.”

“I think you’re being too kind to a beginner.”

“I know this is a substitute, but I hope you will continue to have a good relationship with TG in the future. This industry is all like this.”

“Okay, okay. I don’t know what more to say since you’re taking care of me.”

[Clang!]

[Red Parade donates 1,000,000 won]

[Boom!]

[Is the chairman’s kid crazy? LOL]

After I finished talking to the director and was reading the contract, the director spoke to me.

“Ga-eul, since you came all the way here, how about filming today?”

“It’s not like we’re roasting beans over a fire, is it really okay to do this all of a sudden?”

The director continued while handing me the script.

“Filming is already ready and the staff is ready. Ga-eul, you just need to act.”

“No, I’m not ready.”

I was flustered by the director’s sudden words, so I opened the script and saw the situation and lines written there.

• In the middle of the battlefield, taking cover behind an abandoned building (Main character exhaling heavily)
• Main character quickly takes aim (Hand zooming in as he slowly pulls the trigger)
• Pulls out a grenade pin and throws it in
• Main character crouching in the grass and aims a sniper rifle (Low arc as if the camera hits the grass)
• Main character running at full speed while sweating (Front-on, then out)…

“There’s not much dialogue. Most of it will be short and impactful cutscenes and then we’ll move on.”

After seeing the filming techniques written after the dialogue, I looked at the cover of the script and saw that it was the director’s script.

“Let’s eat first and then go.”

After eating while looking at the script, I went to the studio I had seen earlier, and there were several staff members there because the director had contacted me in advance.

“Hello!”

I heard a strong greeting and turned my head to see a female staff member approaching me.

“I’m Kim Mi-yeon, who is participating as a stylist in this advertisement.”

“Hello. It’s Han Ga-eul.”

“Wow! Your style is really great! The shoulder-lobed military jacket looks great on you. Can I take your measurements for a moment?”

“Yes, please.”

The stylist took out a measuring tape, measured various places, and looked at the director as if she was troubled.

“Director, we can’t find clothes that fit you right now.”

“Is the one-size-fits-all size that doesn’t fit? Contact the stage costume manager.”

“It won’t work even if you try.”

The stylist glanced at my chest as she spoke to the director.

The director must have noticed it too as he spoke awkwardly.

“Uh… I’m sorry, Ga-eul. We just don’t seem to be ready.”
