The script went too far in content. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgDfpCmdgx
That night, the director quietly broke down.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0C2FQ0yqA
But it was the result of the team burning themselves out. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM22VSqmYU
He didn’t dare say no.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQRoDUa6OX
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw0X2IFfEp
11:30 p.m. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cghW3zAO0
The director sat at his desk, his face even grayer than the desk lamp’s light.
Beside him: a cup of cold coffee, two packs of antacids, a post-it labeled “Team Discussion Points,” and…
…a script from Satan himself. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8okwmgPSEc
Or more accurately——a summons.
On the cover, a single word: 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfwXVOAjuI
Guiltbound.
He opened to the first page, took a glance, then closed it. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUR8KRG5sl
Opened again. Closed. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1G8YB02J1
Again. And again.
On the fourth try, he finally gave in. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpu0rNB7PA
Took a deep breath. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXzLJHelvv
And prepared to enter hell.
“...Sigh.”
The first sigh came while reading the character sheet.
“These minds… are insane.”
He picked up a pen to draw a relationship chart—— 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHKfzxGzSw
but halfway through, the level of manipulation in the plot nearly gave him a heart attack.
“These scenes… this dialogue… these actions…”
He flipped three more pages. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyphob3qzs
Each scene felt like running naked on a rooftop——with no place to hide, and too much on display.
One scene even specified: 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6y7Uda5yH
“Camera pans from ankle to collarbone. High lick-the-lens energy.”
“I’ve never shot a scene this explicit… this graphic…”
He muttered to himself, holding his head like someone freshly dumped.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t film steamy content. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0fYoqbFAa
But this wasn’t just “steamy.”
This was a show that never wore pants to begin with—— 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBl1k0Cxs
and sprinted, shameless, to the very end.
“No, no… I need adjustments…” 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3dPnNpyZ8
“Angles… lighting diffusion… maybe have them wear sunglasses…”
He scribbled shaky notes while his mind spiraled.
Then he paused.
He remembered what the screenwriter said in the meeting: 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKkcIjyEXY
“This script was written with what’s left of my life.”
The art lead: “I redesigned forty props. I’ve got one breath left.”
The manager: part priest, part producer, drawing character sheets while purifying the set.
This wasn’t just a script. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrLJ6JqGjt
It was a product of resentment, grief, despair—and deadlines.
“How could I possibly say this can’t be filmed…”
“I’d get murdered…”
He glanced at his phone, opened the team chat. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFLNrR4UiG
Fingers hovered above the input box for three seconds. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoIK7HmLZS
Then closed the app.
No message sent.
Didn’t dare.
He went back to the script, still trembling, still trying to sketch out camera angles.
Page 13. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngBBGSCX9l
He gasped again.
This scene… 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU5mDEOU2o
There’s no way they can shoot this outdoors. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGsWuq1dd
They’d get reported.
How… how do they block this… 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbehkXJyVFD
How do you even block a bite… there?
He buried his face in his hands, 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPrADNp4tl
letting out a string of miserable noises.
“I’m gonna die…”
Under the desk lamp, his shadow stretched across the wall—— 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrT26cJFmU
like someone being consumed by the script itself.
The storyboard software was still open. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonnESZHeEo
Title: blank. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP0i4ADYjs
The white screen reflected the despair in his eyes.
For the first time in his directing life—— 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTcSKQMnYQ
he feared a script might actually kill him.
He wanted to glance at the bunny-and-human photo for comfort—— 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuTKbl4JsG
but the boss had posted again—another emotional Story update.
A sand drawing. 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmCz7Q9Mf3
The bunny and the human had traced a heart in it… with a spelling mistake.
The director closed his phone.
Stared at the script’s cover.
Said nothing.
Only a sigh—— 34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NtAfm03kj
so light, it got swallowed by the room before the air conditioner could feel it.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEMK7uUDJu
