The script went too far in content. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0vLfcUeMV
That night, the director quietly broke down.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvFor20b0J
But it was the result of the team burning themselves out. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKhbDUiQbF
He didn’t dare say no.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUYRu77JgW
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8dMCuX1fO
11:30 p.m. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFS3zIn1Hi
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. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGmEWaJhCY
Or more accurately——a summons.
On the cover, a single word: 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmE3PSsbr
Guiltbound.
He opened to the first page, took a glance, then closed it. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVtKuThRVE
Opened again. Closed. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LpT20egR2
Again. And again.
On the fourth try, he finally gave in. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX7gcOlRnS
Took a deep breath. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57DUypwM3f
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—— 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpXD3NaGox
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. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyVc01bHKO
Each scene felt like running naked on a rooftop——with no place to hide, and too much on display.
One scene even specified: 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY30p4YQKt9
“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. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vkX065cdO
But this wasn’t just “steamy.”
This was a show that never wore pants to begin with—— 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s489Rl0qq
and sprinted, shameless, to the very end.
“No, no… I need adjustments…” 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr69WPUu6wp
“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: 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HkG048gAh
“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. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK82ybf8WB
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. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJU177Or15
Fingers hovered above the input box for three seconds. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7waCQuOfA4
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. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNxJfr9HP
He gasped again.
This scene… 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr2WdIkyOD
There’s no way they can shoot this outdoors. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc3bTzuMlc
They’d get reported.
How… how do they block this… 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNjpol5dAG
How do you even block a bite… there?
He buried his face in his hands, 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv6z1oKHWl
letting out a string of miserable noises.
“I’m gonna die…”
Under the desk lamp, his shadow stretched across the wall—— 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD2BtIdW0e
like someone being consumed by the script itself.
The storyboard software was still open. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM5kAwYHJW
Title: blank. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Jov7UmOv
The white screen reflected the despair in his eyes.
For the first time in his directing life—— 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9q8GrkV4X
he feared a script might actually kill him.
He wanted to glance at the bunny-and-human photo for comfort—— 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfvXsZLiCf
but the boss had posted again—another emotional Story update.
A sand drawing. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXMh8HUJTO
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—— 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXnkx97aGf
so light, it got swallowed by the room before the air conditioner could feel it.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjglkUMtjcI
