A Lie Has Become Reality

chapter 21



21 – Do I live alone?

If you ask if the probability of success is high, that is not the case again.

As a game is a game where numerous elements interact and balance each other, touching one does not end there.

As an example, let’s think about changing equipment balance.

What kind of problems will occur if the balance of the existing equipment is disturbed?

First of all, the overall difficulty of the game that users will experience will change, and accordingly, numerous factors such as the effect of items and the attack power of monsters must be considered.

What if we improve the graphics of the game?

In order to maintain the existing hardware requirements, we will have to go through an extensive optimization process.

Wouldn’t it be no reason for game companies to make multiple patches while splitting them into small pieces?

They are so cautious about patching for a good reason.

That’s why Epic of Seven’s reverse run is being talked about as a legend in the game industry.

Of course, beneath that glory was the hard work of the Leonplay staff, who were ruthlessly crushed.

The game is running on the box office road, so isn’t a good thing a good thing?

I don’t have any complaints because the bonuses were generous enough to be excessive.

“Chief, today is the right day… ?”

“Yeah, I just got in touch with the CEO. Get ready.”

“What can I do… ! I’ll go to the bathroom and fix my makeup!”

The atmosphere of the company is particularly noisy today.

It’s none other than the upcoming shooting of ‘Do I Live Alone’.

Look at the kids who usually go to work without washing up all dressed up today.

Use a lot of dragons, use dragons.

“I heard Kim Bo-hyun and Yu Min-ha are coming too?”

“Really? Are you two coming?”

“I heard that? Are the two of them living alone or are they taking care of the hosting?”

“Crazy, can I get an autograph?”

“You have to prepare in advance, don’t mess around at that time.”

Guys.

It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling.

However, it is impossible to become a main-guest in shooting variety shows.

I didn’t want to break the mood, but I said something harsh because I was the villain.

“You guys, didn’t you forget that tomorrow is the hardmode deadline for Kei?”

“Ah, team leader, you have to do it all night long!”

“You can stay up all night, don’t worry.”

What’s wrong with these guys?

“Why don’t you work all night, you guys!”

It was only then that the guys took a quick glance and sat down.

After a while, the commotion was over to some extent.

The filming staff rushed in and started setting up by running around the office busily.

Anyway, it seems that the full-scale filming is just around the corner.

****

“PD. He’s really coming here as a guest, right?”

“Well, I don’t trust people. Why am I cheating on you?”

I am waiting with two men and a woman in front of the main gate of the Leonplay office building for an upcoming shoot.

“PD, how are you today?”

“It’s the same as usual, so stay still.”

“Too much!!”

She makes a fuss next to me The woman who scratches my insides is Yu Min-ha, and she is one of the hottest actors in the drama world these days.

She ignored Yoo Min-ha, who pretended to be upset, and checked the time again.

She’s way past her arrival time. When is she coming?

As she was rolling her feet, a text message from the staff in charge of close coverage of Kim Seong-woo arrived saying that it would arrive soon.

“Min Ha and Bo Hyun. Come to work for a minute.”

I called Minha Yoo and Bohyeon Kim, the two people who will be hosting today.

The success and failure of today’s shoot will depend on how well these two take care of Kim Seong-woo, a time bomb.

“Seongwoo Kim will arrive soon. Everyone remembers that I showed you the pre-interview footage, right?”

“Oh that… It was no joke.”

“I wondered why my sister made such a fuss at first, but after seeing the filming, I understood.”

Yes.

The reason why these two people were included in Kim Seong-woo’s daily solo filming.

That was to block Kim Seong-woo’s unexpected actions as much as possible.

“If you feel even the slightest bit strange, you have to shut it down by making self-harming gags. Do you understand?”

“After… It won’t be easy.”

“Only trust me! I’m just going to be very distracted.”

To be honest, today’s shoot is literally filming Seongwoo Kim’s daily life, so there aren’t many chances for an accident to happen.

The reason why I’m making such a fuss…

“The reason I decided to appear was to promote a game for the company I am the CEO of.”

“No, wait! What did you appear for?”

“Me? I want to promote the game.”

“… “

How can I forget?

The image of him shouting with mad eyes that he had decided to appear in the game to promote it.

What’s even more frightening is the fact that Kim Seong-woo is a man who can do whatever he wants.

What would happen if Kim Seong-wu went ahead with the filming today without even a minimum safety device?

I can assure you that Seongwoo Kim’s episode of ‘Do I Live Alone’ will be a special documentary for Epic of Seven.

“PD! Does it look like that car coming over there?”

I turned my head at Minha Yoo’s cry.

The thing has finally come.

It calmed my pounding heart.

Have you done enough? Everything will be fine

Duck-

Sungwoo Kim got out of the car.

****

“Sorry for the delay. Did you wait a long time?”

I never thought the road would be blocked like this.

Perhaps it was because we arrived about 20 minutes later than the scheduled time, the expression of the PD who was waiting for us didn’t look very good.

A quick apology is the only way to survive at a time like this.

“It was too late than I thought because the car was blocked. Sorry again.”

“No, you came just in time.”

She was very stiff, but she smiled as if she had never done that before.

“Actually, there was a sudden change in the shooting today.”

“Any changes?”

“Seongwoo has no experience in appearing on TV, and I think there will be difficulties in the case of solo filming. The two people who will be hosting today are going to help with the filming.”

Hyeyeon pointed towards her front door with her chin.

At the front door, there were two men and women who were familiar with each other, staring at me.

It must be familiar…

“The male side is Kim Bo-hyun, and the female side is Yu Min-ha.”

Ah, I remembered.

These two are the fixed MCs of ‘I Live Alone’.

“Today, the two of you will sit next to Seongwoo-san and help host and shoot.”

To be honest, I am a little moved.

I know because on the day the appearance of ‘I Live Alone’ was confirmed, I went straight through all the episodes that had been aired. That’s how delicious these two progress is.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the two’s witty talks led to the success of this broadcast.

But those two are willing to step forward today to host and assist with filming?

Maybe it was a consideration for me, who was nervous about appearing on the first broadcast.

“If you’re offended, it’s a sin… “

“I get a lot of help this way and that. Thank you.”

“Yes?”

“…?”

I thought he was trying to say something, but am I mistaken?

“Ah… hahahaha! You’re welcome! Of course, this is where I need to step in and help!”

“Didn’t you mean something?”

“Yes? No way! It must be your mood!”

She looked at her with her suspicious eyes as she shouted in her panic.

“Minha! Bohyeon! Hurry up and say hello!”

At her cry, the two men and women who had been standing there started to walk towards her.

Perhaps it’s because he’s a celebrity, so there’s no such thing as a good man or woman.

I think the real thing is better than the picture on the screen.

“Hello! Were you taken aback by our sudden visit?”

“Oh, Yu Min-ha~ Why are you so polite?”

“Because my older brother is the only one who is not polite to me?”

“Have you finished talking?”

“hehehe, haven’t you done yet?”

The filming hasn’t even started, but the audio isn’t empty already.

Is this Jjambab?

As I watched them chatter without rest, I burst into low admiration inwardly.

“Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yoo Min-ha, who is active as an actress.”

“My name is Kim Bo-hyun, and I am a solo singer.”

“Hello, I am Seongwoo Kim, CEO of LeonPlay. Thank you for filming today.”

A minute or so has passed since we greeted each other in turn.

“We are ready to shoot!!”

The voice of camera director Kim Woo-hyun resonated in the distance.

It was the start of full-scale filming.

The filming resumed with the scene where they greeted each other in front of the main gate of the Leonplay office building.

Before the tour of the office building in earnest, I brought up several stories led by Min-ha and Bo-hyeon. About things like our first impressions of each other and rumors about me.

“Ugh, then Seongwoo-ssi is completely single right now?”

“Yes, it still is.”

“Min-ha, we should proceed without selfishness.”

“Oh, what are you talking about!”

Progress went smoothly.

Thanks to the beautiful progress, I also got used to the atmosphere to some extent.

“So Seongwoo, have you never heard my song before?”

“I am not interested in singing… “

“Still, it’s not number one on the charts… How could you have never heard of it… “

“Is this brother really sick? He thinks everyone in the world is his fan.”

The shooting atmosphere was absolutely perfect.

“Actually, I also recently started playing Epic of Seven.”

“Oh really? How was our game? Did you enjoy it?”

“I really didn’t know how time was passing. It’s a real Godgame.”

The conversation flowed naturally.

To be honest, if you want to talk about a human named ‘Kim Seong-woo’, you cannot leave out Epic of Seven.

Because my life is like Epic of Seven.

“In fact, the viewers were very interested in the appearance of the voice actor.”

“I was personally really curious about Seongwoo.”

“Minha, let’s talk about your brother.”

“Who won’t tell?”

“Anyway, from now on! Seongwoo’s workplace is ours! I’m going to try closely. Is there anything you would like us to focus on?”

The opportunity to promote Epic of Seven finally arrived.

Ssiik-

For this day, we set the shooting schedule one day before the update deadline.

“Actually, there is a big update tomorrow.”

The public tends to feel repulsed by implausible publicity.

Then, what should be prioritized to give probability to publicity?

That is ‘timing’.

For that timing, I set the day before the update deadline as the shooting date.

A game company with a day before the deadline? It is truly a battlefield without guns.

Will the public feel repulsive at the scene of the fierce vigil?

It will probably be quite a fun pastime.

“You should prepare yourself today, you two.”

So let’s stay up all night together.
