The script went too far in content. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJKKjva6mU
That night, the director quietly broke down.284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjlj259CgT
But it was the result of the team burning themselves out. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jl8c3ji45
He didn’t dare say no.284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtGditYG7m
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeldQIsECSX
11:30 p.m. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR7OlN9Yij
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1S06XA6PO
Or more accurately——a summons.
On the cover, a single word: 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvnZpuGhs4
Guiltbound.
He opened to the first page, took a glance, then closed it. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdfoWuA4rW
Opened again. Closed. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlyCvWTAoh
Again. And again.
On the fourth try, he finally gave in. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQn9kF5oC4
Took a deep breath. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLUPFL9FxX
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—— 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvmB1TWsPO
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jmGLpDFVG
Each scene felt like running naked on a rooftop——with no place to hide, and too much on display.
One scene even specified: 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG1iQErz0T
“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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMYN2MIFaR
But this wasn’t just “steamy.”
This was a show that never wore pants to begin with—— 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiyiO0pmd1
and sprinted, shameless, to the very end.
“No, no… I need adjustments…” 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodK1Yc73yn
“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: 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44lmOicG6
“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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jXriCrfKU
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9yrkual3g
Fingers hovered above the input box for three seconds. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEXHf3gScd
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJELcwLoJD
He gasped again.
This scene… 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZPSeyItdU
There’s no way they can shoot this outdoors. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGUMvpI9jT
They’d get reported.
How… how do they block this… 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdUPANvPa3
How do you even block a bite… there?
He buried his face in his hands, 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XVpwLJ9kj
letting out a string of miserable noises.
“I’m gonna die…”
Under the desk lamp, his shadow stretched across the wall—— 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigvH1QJnAL
like someone being consumed by the script itself.
The storyboard software was still open. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkLafWWidn
Title: blank. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKBEwSVC28
The white screen reflected the despair in his eyes.
For the first time in his directing life—— 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8MaFeTXU
he feared a script might actually kill him.
He wanted to glance at the bunny-and-human photo for comfort—— 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOQng73Vof
but the boss had posted again—another emotional Story update.
A sand drawing. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCVP3WXTUn
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—— 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiv2ILxjtH
so light, it got swallowed by the room before the air conditioner could feel it.284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENGOWBPq0P
and then Add to home screen.
