All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

026. Free coffee is delicious.

“Well. Coffee tastes good here. I should come often.”

“It’s much better than the bulk mart coffee in the refrigerator at the workroom, right?”

“Yeah. Do you know the situation of the refrigerator in the workroom? Where did you install CCTV?”

“Please. They’re just classmates I’ve been close to since college, so I just know their tastes.”

Song Jae-ik put the ice in the cup into his mouth with a straw and chewed it.

Lee Junsu said it was a good cafe, so the place I brought him to was a really good private cafe. I thought I would simply go to a franchise cafe like a star coffee shop.

“So what are you going to say?”

“Because I’m worried about kids who don’t have a sense of reality. I wonder if the animation is going well.”

When Lee Jun-su made a worried expression, Song Jae-ik looked at Lee Jun-su’s face without revealing his expression.

Hey, I can be an actor. Acting on facial expressions is an art.

It was because the face and expression were slightly frowning to the point that if anyone saw it, they would think that they were worried about their real friend.

“a. What would you do if you always lived in reality? A person must have a dream to gain the driving force to live.”

“I guess Jaeik likes dreams too?”

“Reality is good, dreams are good. As I said before, you can’t live with only dreams, but it’s hard to live with only reality. And what’s wrong with dreams?”

“Even if that is the road to failure?”

“Even if it leads to failure, a person who takes on a challenge is a beautiful law. And before the results are even out, who can say that it was a failure?”

Lee Jun-su was overcome with the urge to punch Song Jae-ik in the face at the nasty look of him grinning and holding each horse by the tail.

Even so. Because for a bigger goal than that, you have to hold back your anger.

“But wouldn’t success be better than failure?”

“It is interesting. I guess that means you know the way to success. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could tell your friends how to do that?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t know how to succeed either. But I know how to make more money than I’m making now and get a higher name value than making animations with a high probability of failure. This is why American and Japanese animation companies designate our company as subcontractors. with high pay. Wouldn’t that be a more stable way to raise the value of the name than making animations in poor environments?”

“ah.”

“Besides, isn’t Mr. Jaeik still young? He is a talented person with a bright future. I’m young and this is my first time in this field, so you might not know it well.”

With those words, Song Jae-ik lost interest.

I followed it out of curiosity because I wanted to talk about something great.

What is this, there is no real thing. There is no content. After all, isn’t it a token of saying that they can earn more honor and money by leaving here?

It was something he might have done if it had been for the money. As far as he knows, this industry has a considerable manpower shortage, and at the same time, he knows that the pay is also on the large side.

But he wasn’t doing it for the money.

Are you just trying to shake it? Are you done with that? I wondered if I was being too complacent about being younger than myself.

“Ah, that’s not funny.”

“yes?”

“So, the conclusion is that you can get more money and honor here than here, right?”

“Yes?”

“Do you think I am here for money or fame? I would have been arguing for money and fame, going all-in on You Tube, singing with Jeongyeon or no, Evie, and appearing on TV. In that sense, it will bring you much more money and fame. And even popularity.”

With those words, Lee Junsu’s expression rotted away.

Then, all the actions he’s taken while sipping coffee while laughing were not actions he showed even though he didn’t intend to listen to him in the first place.

“you···!”

Jae-Ik Song gave advice to Lee Jun-su, who was shaking his fists with his expression hardened as if he was rushing forward.

“Are you saying I’m too young? I don’t know how big the age difference between you and me is, but it doesn’t look very good. I get fed up too. Shouldn’t it be something like that that you used to use when you were a student and then change a little when you come out into society? And who knows if the animation will succeed or fail. Although it seems that you have already concluded that it is a failure. Unfortunately, I don’t think that will ever happen. Because I’m going to do that.”

Song Jae-ik put down his coffee cup and stood up from his chair.

“Look out. There are times when you cross the line before you see the line. Well, the coffee here is delicious. I enjoyed the free coffee.”

One thing is certain. It was certain that this person, Junsu Lee, had never seen the work of Jinwoo Yeon, whom he called his friend.

with my daughter-

“What are you doing here?”

Song Jae-ik tilted his head when he saw Yeon Jin-woo and Kim Hyun-jin standing in front of the door in an awkward posture.

“I heard that the coffee here is good. Wouldn’t it be nice to have coffee at a place like this sometimes?”

A chuckle broke out at those words. A loosely worn hat. loose-fitting clothing. A plastic bag in one hand. Whoever sees it, isn’t it the look of people wearing slippers and going to the convenience store in the morning?

“Iknow, right. The coffee here is delicious. But I just drink coffee from the fridge. While I bought it in a box.”

Besides, aren’t they people who don’t usually pay attention to cafe coffee?

People who pour everything into their dreams while mechanically sucking literally only the coffee they bought for their caffeine intake. Wouldn’t it be better for these people to succeed than Junsu Lee?

“Let’s go and paint!”

Kim Hyun-jin shouted lightly with a high-pitched voice as to what was so good.

“Ah, that’s right. Yes, there is a lot of coffee in the refrigerator. Let’s drink that coffee.”

“by the way. Director. Isn’t it about to finish coloring?”

“right. It’s almost finished now. The storyline is in the final stage, so all you have to do is color, edit, and shoot the detail up.”

“Then I have to pay attention to sound and dubbing. Do you have any ideas?”

“It’s okay if you don’t have to worry about the voice acting part. I’m selecting with help from someone I know.”

“Then what about the sound?”

“I already have a contract for sound effects. To be honest, I don’t know about the other part. A simple background sound would work, but I couldn’t use something that wasn’t satisfying. Maybe I’ll go for not writing? To be honest, an original score is a luxury for animation producers like us.”

“Hmm. is it? Still, I will look into that part.”

“you?”

“What. Even if you can’t tell. For once. I think it would be better to have at least one original score laid out rather than just simple background sounds, sound effects, and lines. Especially in the highlights.”

Even if someone is a single-minded person.

“Five! Truly a celebrity! please! please!”

I think I have one more reason to do my best to make this project a success.

[Eh? Really? animation production?]

“yes. That’s why I’m living a hectic life these days.”

[Oh, I should say that Mr. Jaeik is also great. Normally, you would appear on TV, but all of a sudden you’re making an animation. Then, can we see it at the cinema after production is finished?]

In response to Jeong-yeon’s question, Song Jae-ik sighed when he thought about the reality, but he wondered if there would be better results than he thought.

“Well. I do not know. Not a big animation. It’s literally a small independent animation.”

[No, surely Mr. Jaeik will be able to do it. I saw it from the side. And I know. Rather than waiting for everything to turn out well, I will make everything turn out well. Just like it was in my album.]

At that, Song Jae-ik laughed. It was only a relationship like an album, but Jeongyeon knew herself quite well.

That’s right. To be precise, that was the stance he took after getting the ring.

Because it can.

“You know that. Oh, come to think of it, can I ask you a favor in that sense?”

[What is it?]

“Can I learn to compose?”

[Composing? uh… yes I can teach you. It wouldn’t be that easy.]

“It is enough if you can learn just a light feeling.”

At Song Jae-ik’s request, Jeong-yeon agreed, feeling bewildered. It was also because composition was not a field that could be done by just learning so briefly, but I also thought that there must be a reason for everything.

At the same time, I thought that I didn’t know again because he was already Song Jae-ik, who had a unique talent on the piano side.

[Then, when will you learn?]

“When is your time? I have to be on time with the teacher.”

[··· Well. The day after tomorrow?]

Jeongyeon replied in a voice mixed with laughter, as if something had come to her mind.

“yes? The day after tomorrow?”

[yes. I think the time will come the day after tomorrow.]

“uh. all right. First of all, since you belong to the team, I will check and contact you right away.”

[yes~! It will definitely help Jaeik.]

“yes?”

After hanging up Jeongyeon’s phone, Song Jae-ik scratched his head and called director Yeon Jin-woo to explain the situation.

And as soon as Yeon Jin-woo heard the words OST and Evie before Jae-ik finished his words, he and Kim Hyun-jin shouted out a call, as if it was a speaker phone.

I hope you have good results. How could they dislike the fact that their animations increase the chances of success even a little?

Of course, I completely forgot to mention that I was going to compose myself.

“Still, wouldn’t it be better to go to the pre-learning class?”

Rather than going without knowing anything, of course, it would be helpful for me to understand if I prepared and digested my talents to a certain extent.

Oh and.

“hey! Gotta go!”

“why?”

“Para another category on YouTube! The name is composed!”

“What?!!”

Song Jae-ik let out a chuckle as he heard the sound of crackling sounds coming from the living room.

—

Bread-

“Mr. Jaeik!”

When I left the entrance of the apartment, Jeongyeon waved her hand as she lowered the window with the sound of Clarke.

“uh?”

However, the appearance of the car was quite strange.

“camera?”

There were cameras on Jeongyeon’s car windows and windshield. Obviously, Jeongyeon’s appearance was also fully set up, including makeup and hair.

“Are you filming?”

“yes! I told you! It will definitely help!”

Jaeik remembered what Jeongyeon had said at the end of the phone call that it would definitely be of help to him.

“Who thinks it’s a shoot?”

“uh? So you’re not going to learn composition?”

“Oh no, that’s not it. Teacher Jeongyeon.”

“Then get on quickly! Every minute is worth every second!”

Jaeik looked curiously at the camera in the car.

“What are you filming?”

“A star’s daily switch! Of course you’ve seen it, right? Even if you don’t have it, of course you have to watch the episode where I appear.”

Come to think of it, I remembered a while ago when Um Kang-seok said that Jeong-yeon would appear in a new variety show, and I nodded my head.

Even if he didn’t take care of it anyway, it was obvious that Um Kang-seok would take care of it.

“Of course I have to take care of it.”

“But you want to learn composition from me?”

“yes. I am currently working on a feature length animation. Because I need an OST to go in there.”

“Five. Who does the other music?”

“No. Since it’s a low-budget feature-length animation, I actually wanted to go without an OST, but I got greedy.”

Jeongyeon smiled and shrugged.

“You came to find me well. do you know what my nickname is? She is the queen of OSTs.”

I don’t know when the animation made by Song Jae-ik will come out, but it will definitely be helpful if it appears on his broadcast and becomes an issue.

“haha. Yes? Then I wish you a good day today. Teacher.”
