At A Time Of Reminisce

These past few days, Atlas had been resting at home while his phone had been ringing non-stop.

After finally turning off the phone and having some quiet time, Son Youngsoo came to visit him again.

"You coming here out of the blue, hope it's nothing serious." Atlas handed Son Youngsoo a glass of water and asked.

"Well, I indeed have something important to tell you, Mr. Sang."

"Okay, I'm listening."

"I may not be able to be your assistant for your next movie. The company has arranged for me to work with another crew. When your new movie starts shooting, I may not have finished my work on this movie by that time." After saying that, Son Youngsoo sighed heavily again.

Atlas didn't think it was a big deal. "Anyway, my plan is to take a break from screenwriting and not make any movies for the meantime."

"I understand." Son Youngsoo also knew that Atlas had put in a lot of effort into these two movie and had sacrificed a lot of rest time, so it was indeed time for him to take a good rest.

"By the way, what are you going to shoot?" Atlas asked casually.

"We want to make a low-budget martial arts movie, which our company will invest in and produce ourselves. Since you're not from our company, the management cannot always rely on you as the only director." When Son Youngsoo said this, his tone was full of helplessness.

If it were really possible, he would really like to stay with Atlas for a while longer. Following him was like having a free professional mentor.

And this mentor was one of the top ones in the entertainment industry. It was a great opportunity that many people would love to have.

After Atlas's recent movie finished broadcasting, he wondered how many people would be trying their best to get close to him.

If he wasn't just a small assistant director, and had to support his family, he would have quitted the company and jump directly to Atlas's side.

Of course, Atlas also noticed Son Youngsoo's dissatisfaction. In fact, he really liked this assistant director from the bottom of his heart. "How about this, you go back and discuss it with Madam Chang. I'll write a script and ask her if she's interested in making a low-budget comedy movie."

Hearing this, Son Youngsoo immediately put down the cup in his hand, stood up from the sofa, and his eyes sparkled with delight. "Really? Mr. Sang, are you going to write the script yourself?"

Atlas nodded. "You go back and ask Madam Chang first."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and ask now." After saying that, he left in a hurry, fearing that Atlas could change his mind the next second.

Atlas opened his mouth but didn't have time to say anything...

As soon as they received the news, Busan Entertainment responded immediately.

Thinking about a script written by Sang Young, how could they refuse. This was not a question of Sang Young's professional ability, it was just a most basic process.

For a company like this with Madam Chang in charge, it was already very hard-won to get the opportunity to let them read the script.

However, based on Sang Young's current momentum and the abilities he had demonstrated, he wanted to actively cooperate with them, how could anyone refuse?

Although, when Atlas was talking to Son Youngsoo, he hadn't yet decided which script he wanted to write, he was being sincere. There were so many hit comedy films in the past life, any one of them was enough to shock the entertainment industry in today's world.

After receiving a reply from Busan Entertainment, he began to think about what script to write.

Low-budget comedy...

"My Sassy Girl".

There were many comedy films, and the overall cost of these movies was even relatively low. However, "My Sassy Girl" was undoubtedly the best among them, with a cost of only a few million.

Of course, comedies were not easy to make since there was a very important element in comedy, meaning, the actors must be witty and humorous. So generally speaking, the actors in comedy films were those who were recognized by everyone.

Although it was difficult for an unknown actor to stand out, "My Sassy Girl" would be able to successfully promote several new talents. It could be said to have all three qualities: low budget, comedy and blockbuster.

In Atlas's previous life, the movie "My Sassy Girl" was known as the biggest dark horse in the film industry at that time. No one expected that a low-budget movie with an investment of a few million won would actually earn many times the box office.

This box office was certainly not much considering the current box office of several hundred million. However, in the entire Korean film market that year, the total box office for the whole year was only more than 2 billion.

This movie successfully ranked directly in the top ten of the box office rankings that year. With a score of 8.5, it could be considered both critically and commercially successful.

This movie even caused a huge social response at that time. What more, there were endless interpretations of this movie, and it even became a cultural phenomenon at the time.
