chapter 157
157 – Difficult
After the movie The Summer Without You ended, the inside of the main auditorium was dead quiet.
No applause was heard. However, I didn’t hear any conversation about how interesting the movie was.
However, this reaction was definitely not because the movie was boring or not to my taste.
If you really look at it, it was quite the opposite.
It’s the exact opposite, but…….
The biggest problem is probably not being able to express it openly.
How can you applaud their story and say it was interesting? How can you smile casually and talk about movies with the person next to you?
It’s just that they are all worried about the same problem.
How can we overcome this enormous aftereffect?
Meanwhile.
I couldn’t help but smile bitterly as the silence in the auditorium showed no sign of ending.
I thought it would be like this, so I strongly wanted the last turn of the club’s stage performance.
If Summer Without You had been screened from the beginning, the festival might have come to a forced end.
Anyway, the movie ended safely, and at the same time, Hanbit Arts High School’s festival also came to an end.
At the same time, even though the festival was over, I thought that now was the real beginning.
That’s because the official release of the movie The Summer Without You is tomorrow, not today.
And after seeing the reaction in the auditorium, I was a little more worried than I thought.
What I was worried about here was not the performance, but the reaction after watching the movie. I feel like the world will be a bit depressing for a while.
It doesn’t matter if only one or two people watch my movie, but if the scale goes beyond a few million to tens of millions, I think it would be a very interesting picture.
As expected, my movie, which was released a week before Christmas Eve, targeting the weekend, set an unusual record from the first day.
The number of viewers exceeded 1.4 Million from the first day of release, easily achieving the record of being number one on the first day of release in history, and literally reaching its peak during Christmas.
As a result, the number of viewers exceeded 10 million in just 9 days, and the winter of that year……
It left the impression that it was a slightly bitter winter for many people.

[Aftereffects of a summer without you]
It seems really serious.
For some reason, I feel depressed every day and have no strength.
Will this ever end?
-Hey, you too? I’ve been having the same symptoms for a week now.
Is there anyone like that? Everyone who has seen the movie now will feel the same
ㄴI think the author of ㄹㅇ 927 solved the poison this time.
ㄴIt seems like they really decided to make people depressed.
-But it is an undeniable fact that it is a masterpiece, right?
ㄴThe domestic movie rating is over 9.2, So of course it is a masterpiece.
ㄴIn the meantime, where does the 0.8 Point disappear?
ㄴI think it’s because weak-hearted people get internal injuries after watching the movie.
ㄴIt definitely feels different from the works I’ve made so far. I always end with a hopeful, open ending that will satisfy people, but this time it felt a little different, starting with the title.
Well, he proudly showed that he can make something like this.
ㄴIsn’t that why it’s scarier? If I make another work like Summer Without You, then it will be a real hell……
I can’t go see it, and if I do, I suffer from aftereffects. It’s literally the real death.
-Anyway, now that the movie has become a hit, my class has gone up even higher.
ㄴㄹㅇ It hasn’t even been a month since it was released, but it looks suspicious.
ㄴThis time, the Cheongsang Arts Awards is on December 31st. Isn’t that quite possible?
What a domestic award~ Now I have to think about awards from the three major film festivals.
Well, it seems to be a natural progression as it has now started to be released all over the world.
-And since I heard that I appeared as a guest on GoQuiz this time, make sure to tune in.
ㄴKiya~ Go Quiz was a success. 927 Invite the author as a guest
ㄴIn the meantime, it makes me laugh that I went out with the concept of a genius high school student for the Korea Youth Theater Festival.
ㄴFrom there, he even said that he thinks of himself as the best……
ㄴEven if you think about it, it’s natural hahahaha.
I was just looking at the reactions on the community and YouTube to see what public opinion was about my movie…….
Suddenly, I started seeing comments again that made me reflect on my past.
Honestly, there is no such thing as a blow anymore, but the problem was that I watched it on the day of Go Quiz’s filming.
‘Summer Without You’ was officially released, and I was having a hectic time.
Maybe it’s because the movie was a hit, but more and more people are looking for me from all over.
What… Among them, the reason why I appeared on GoQuiz was because they desperately wanted me there, but of course there was another purpose.
I guess this is a representative concept of secondary promotion for my film.
At this point, the number of viewers has already exceeded 12 million, and the number of viewers yesterday was approximately 40% of the number of viewers on the first day.
In other words, even 11 days after the movie was released, 500,000 people were consistently watching my movie every day.
Looking at this, surprisingly, it seems that there are more people than I thought who still look after the summer without you.
And when I briefly heard the reason, it was like covering up the aftereffects with aftereffects or something… ….
Well, if you keep looking at the same thing, you will eventually become dull.
Of course, the process may not be that easy.
Anyway, I had no reason to refuse to pay money to watch a movie again.
“Let’s push hard with the greatest genius of all time, cool, and charisma.”
“Yes?”
“This is the shooting concept.”
“That… “You didn’t ask for that last time.”
“Hey, back then you were in a group, but this time you’re completely alone. And since he is a 927 writer loved by everyone, he has to have that level of impact so that people are more excited about him.”
Go Quiz’s PD said so.
“As expected, broadcasting is difficult. “Can I return the deposit in full right now and refuse to appear?”
“Just kidding! It was a joke! hahahaha!”
Go Quiz PD smiled shyly at my words.
Hmm… I wasn’t joking at all.
“Welcome!”
“Oh, welcome!”
As soon as I entered the filming set, the filming of Go Quiz proceeded immediately like last time.
Luckily, this wasn’t my first time filming here, so it didn’t feel too unfamiliar.
And this was also the biggest reason why I decided to appear on a program called Coquiz.
Also, there aren’t that many staff watching our conversation, and that doesn’t mean the two MCs sitting on either side of me can’t keep the line or proceed.
To put it simply, you can talk with a much more comfortable mind.
“Hello. “My name is 927 writer Seo Eun-woo, and I am working as a screenwriter.”
“Wow~ I never thought I would actually welcome author 927 like this a few months ago, but I did so without even knowing.”
“Yes. I came to this filming location once in July of this year. Of course, at that time, I was not a 927 writer, but a student, Seo Eun-woo.”
“I never thought that the two would really be the same person. If you hadn’t revealed your identity, you wouldn’t have known about it until the end. “If you don’t mind, could I ask why you decided to reveal your identity as opposed to why you hid it?”
MC Ko Jeong-ho asked me very carefully.
It wasn’t a particularly difficult question to answer, and it seemed like a good question.
If you think about it, the reason has never been directly revealed until now.
“There is no particular reason for hiding one’s identity. “It’s just my age and my personality.”
“Personality?”
“MC Ko Jeong-ho will know. Being famous has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages. “I don’t like bothersome things or being the center of attention, so the scale was immediately tipped towards my shortcomings.”
“Oh, then I think he would have been even more hesitant to reveal his identity.”
I nodded as if I sympathized with what he said, and then answered the reason for revealing my identity.
I think it’s probably a really simple answer.
“It was because of love.”
“…… “Love?”
“I felt like Seo Eun-woo would never be able to protect the people I love. So I revealed my identity, and I have absolutely no regrets about that fact. “If I go back, I’ll probably make the same choice.”
Everyone looked a little surprised by my answer.
Of course, there may have been a better answer than this, but I just wanted to be honest about this.
“This is truly amazing. Then, how about writing a script? 927 If you’re a genius like the writer, I don’t think writing a script would be that difficult.”
“I think viewers, including us, will be very curious about this part. There are many rumors that it usually takes writer 927 less than a month to write a script.”
Welcome, starting with Cafe Violet, Fly High, and Itaewon Revolution.
This year, until the summer without you and the dreaming children.
If you consider the total time spent writing the script, it would have been completed within one month.
Therefore, there was no mistake in what he said.
But about this part, just like before, I just wanted to tell the truth.
So unfortunately.
“It’s difficult.”
I couldn’t give the answer that everyone in the world wanted and imagined, like a true genius.
