The Famous Millionaire Chapter 151

Chapter 151

“Let me hear it once more.”

“Yea, once more!”

Other staff raised their fingers one by one to request the replay. And Jungah replayed as if she was a DJ for the day.

Strangely enough, they were not bored at all even though it was replayed again and again. Rather, they wanted to listen to it all the more. The song had some sort of addictiveness.

So, Jungah replayed it four times in a row then gave a thumbs up to Jinhon.

“Wow! This is really good,” said Jungah.

The previous background music was seven out of ten in terms of score, but this one was twelve. In short, Jungah’s reaction was overwhelming.

Hyunwoo seconded Jungah’s opinion with full support.

“Though I don’t know about music well, I think this is the best I have heard in my life. So wonderful.”

“Oh my god! I’m flattered, sir,” said Jinhon.

Hyunwoo meant it when he said that. It was the first time he was so excited by music.

It was like magic to him, and the staff felt the same thing. Everyone praised the ‘Duckling Fly’ as the best song they had ever heard.

Grinning from ear to ear, Jinhon said, “Please make a music video with this. I’ve already arranged a dance accompanying this song. I’m going to bring my friends to dance to the tune. I feel the song will be more dynamic and lively when many people dance together.”

Hyunwoo was of the same opinion. Suddenly, he thought of a video, of the characters of Garbage World, the first animation work of the Ani & Funny kids. There were several characters with the images of a can. Hyunwoo felt they were the perfect match for the dance.

Actually, Jungah seemed to feel the same way.

“I guess it would be a good idea to make a music video based on the Garbage World.”

One of the characters, Kenny, was made with a can. Kenny was virtually the main character.

“I didn’t mention it to you at that time. There was one thing I found lacking in Garbage World.”

“What was it?”

“Well, the characters were unique, but it didn’t suit children’s tastes. Jihoon, do you have the Garbage World video?”

“Yes, I’ve got the USB video on it.”

Jihoon Kang handed it to Jungah, who played the video and stopped it at the point when the character named ‘Kenny’ was enlarged.

“If you look at that, don’t you feel it’s a bit dirty? In order to suit children’s tastes, there should be something cuter and more foxy about Kenny, but I don’t feel it at all. Why don’t we try this way?” said Jungah, drawing Kenny again on the paper.

It was a totally different image than the original character Jihoon made. Kang’s Kenny was more realistic, while Jungah changed it a lot. For example, Jungah’s version had potbelly and chubby cheeks, with a big mouth and thick lips.

Jihoon’s reaction was favorable, too.

“Wow, I like it better. As you have to change the image, how about twisting it this way?”

Then Jihoon changed Jungah’s version then got her feedback. They kept working on it that way for about one hour, and finally, they completely agreed. Based on the new concept, he drew the character again, and she added coloring to it.

After she was done coloring the new character, Jungah showed it to Hyunwoo.

“How about it?”

Hyunwoo’s eyes popped out. He didn’t notice the real problem when he watched Garbage World alone, but now, he could realize what it was.

It was none other than a sense of intimacy. The existing Kenny kept the image of a recycled can and emphasized uniqueness and freshness but looked cold and heartless, but the new Kenny was devoid of the previous image. Instead, it added a comic feeling and warmth. The moment anyone saw it, he or she might naturally feel ‘Oh, it’s going to be a troublemaker.’

The identity of the new Kenny could be found in its head and buttocks, with the tip of them shaped like a cone, and opener on the top of its head.

“Wow, this is really wonderful!”

“Let me change the other characters like this. I feel like I’ve opened a new world thanks to you, Jungah,” said Jihoon.

Looking at them, Hyunwoo giggled, saying, “Okay, let’s give it another try. However, Tuti & Angelica is the priority now. As soon as you’re done with it, let’s think about making a music video with Kenny as Jinhon suggested.”

“Yes, sir.”

“It will take more than 15 days to complete Tuti & Angelica. In the meantime, Jihoon, get some help from Jungah and Myunghool on how to improve the existing characters. Jinhon, think about how to arrange the format of the music video,” said Hyunwoo.

“Yes, let me work with my friends on how to mix dancing.”

“Sure, good job.”

This time Hyunwoo checked the status of the animation Tuti & Angelica.

Tuti & Angelica, now posted on Story Mecca in a series of story, was an animation with a mix of 2D and 3D graphics. The 3D portion of the 10-minute video that focused on colorful graphics was only 30 seconds, but the whole ten minutes of Tuti & Angelica to be submitted to Talent Donation Broadcasting would be filled with 3D images, which meant a lot of work in terms of coloring, mapping, lighting, special effects and rendering for the team members including Jungah and Myunghun.

“Okay, let me know if you need any further help. I’ve got to leave now for an appointment,” said Hyunwoo.

He then headed straight to the warehouse of N&C Korea.

Like the office of Ani & Funny, it was crowded with many people. To celebrate Hyunwoo’s resignation from Space Design, its staff including Sungrak and Juhwan were waiting inside with a surprise party.

Besides, the small warehouse next to the main one was also busy with the newlyweds Jaegyong Kang couple moving their stuff.

Though it was a small condo, their ownership of the condo made them happy. Above all, they bought it without taking out a loan.

In that respect, it was the newlyweds, not Hyunwoo, who really needed to be congratulated.

“As far as moving the stuff is concerned, I’m an expert. Can I help you?”

Hyunwoo rolled up his sleeves to chip in, but the moving was almost done.

“Thank you, sir! I owe it all to you.”

“Hahaha… Just repay me if you know that. If you get rich, we all get rich, right? So, make lots of money, man.”

“Sure, I will. Hahaha.”

Then Hyunwoo looked at Juhwan and his two friends.

“How about you? You guys are going out for sales activities, aren’t you?”

“Yes, sir. We like to go out for sales better.”

That was true. It had been less than one month since Juhwan and his friends began sales activities, but they pulled off the contract worth almost 200 million won. The profit of the sales was about 4% of the total sales. Thanks to that, Juhwan and his friends would make 1.6 million won automatically every month. Of course, Hyunwoo would make much more than them.

Standing beside, Sungrak said, scratching his head, “That makes me miserable, sir.”

He rightly felt so. While Juhwan and his friends pulled off the big contract of 200 million won, Sungrak only signed off a contract worth 20 million won.

Smiling at Sungrak, Hyunwoo said, “Each person has a different talent. You’re not cut out for sales activities. So, you don’t have to think that way.”

“Well, Mr. Paek, the former sales chief who went to the United States, told me sales business was for me.”

“I guess he just said that to please your ears. Well, one could do well with some praise. And you might be a late bloomer.”

“I don’t think I’m a late bloomer. Sales doesn’t seem fit me. I’d rather be more efficient at working at the warehouse.”

“Hey, sales depends on the skills. So, follow and learn from Juhwan through some on-the-job training.”

At Hyunwoo’s suggestion Sungrak looked at Juhwan.

“Juhwan, what’s the secret of your sales success?”

This time Juhwan scratched his head and said, “No idea. I think the recent KOVE Dream broadcast was a big help. When I mentioned it during the sales activities, the other party was easily persuaded.”

Hyunwoo also felt the broadcast was effective. In sales activities, the role of the press was decisive.

At that moment, Hyunwoo’s heart was thrilled.

Currently, Korea Broadcasting was making a three-part special series on the documentary in Vietnam. After it is broadcast, the sales volume would greatly increase.

Besides, there would be an open trade fair. Though Seoul City had not yet officially decided on that, there was a high possibility that it would happen.

In that case, the monthly sales may amount to dozens of billions of won.

Hyunwoo felt he would have to treat Jaeyol Song to a big meal for his help.

As if he read Hyunwoo’s mind, Jaeyol called him right at that moment.

“Hey, have you heard about ‘Dream Korea’?”

“Nope. Never heard of it. What is it?” asked Hyun, tiling his head.

Jaeyol spoke to him in a concerned tone. Hearing that, Hyunwoo also felt the situation was a bit serious.

“They are claiming that they’re the genuine Dream Team of Vietnam, denouncing KOVE Dream as fake. It looks like they have invited Seoul Broadcasting to make a special program arguing KOVE Dream is a fabrication.”
