The script went too far in content. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbb9n4x5tA
That night, the director quietly broke down.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhNjAWwPLv
But it was the result of the team burning themselves out. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV9Y3pgcgs
He didn’t dare say no.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAaXkaVvIf
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5oPAM9RUB
11:30 p.m. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9FRnxWVS3
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. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigWmv4LGOA
Or more accurately——a summons.
On the cover, a single word: 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZKiXuMrCO
Guiltbound.
He opened to the first page, took a glance, then closed it. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEqYYfL9D5
Opened again. Closed. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgIjENhChG
Again. And again.
On the fourth try, he finally gave in. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvfCGpQ8IY
Took a deep breath. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0YjCaIL9g
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—— 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfrkB03ruz
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. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmwayBE8r1
Each scene felt like running naked on a rooftop——with no place to hide, and too much on display.
One scene even specified: 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1IUcrBC7L
“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. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV8v6hbQcC
But this wasn’t just “steamy.”
This was a show that never wore pants to begin with—— 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJvxmyjW8e
and sprinted, shameless, to the very end.
“No, no… I need adjustments…” 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEixIF40bW
“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: 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH7LcJHlGR
“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. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LzPIgsRPk
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. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Ko1ppWBK
Fingers hovered above the input box for three seconds. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq9nU5MHkC
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. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2sjFLIrmS
He gasped again.
This scene… 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR1RPeuUR4
There’s no way they can shoot this outdoors. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ybtJgx9N
They’d get reported.
How… how do they block this… 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpYL8HW1mW
How do you even block a bite… there?
He buried his face in his hands, 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1zEmsS30E
letting out a string of miserable noises.
“I’m gonna die…”
Under the desk lamp, his shadow stretched across the wall—— 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8r5inDpdS
like someone being consumed by the script itself.
The storyboard software was still open. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGw9f2EVj8
Title: blank. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz07HRFgCV
The white screen reflected the despair in his eyes.
For the first time in his directing life—— 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTBZp473y
he feared a script might actually kill him.
He wanted to glance at the bunny-and-human photo for comfort—— 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1WENwv0jt
but the boss had posted again—another emotional Story update.
A sand drawing. 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF002R78WzE
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—— 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs0jf41XAw
so light, it got swallowed by the room before the air conditioner could feel it.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi64LpMFFmE
