Chapter 152

“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 G.o.d! 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 ident.i.ty of the new Kenny could be found in its head and b.u.t.tocks, 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 s.p.a.ce 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 owners.h.i.+p 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 doc.u.mentary 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 . ”
