The script went too far in content. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8N3hCAIzw
That night, the director quietly broke down.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDar0CuWEpM
But it was the result of the team burning themselves out. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWz3wD6Lg2
He didn’t dare say no.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9EvNQ5hy

11:30 p.m. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenPlNbmezo
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. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdECcxdxvM
Or more accurately——a summons.
On the cover, a single word: 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM5uNdtEB3
Guiltbound.
He opened to the first page, took a glance, then closed it. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hGUOUpRZt
Opened again. Closed. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrzT7x9vxs
Again. And again.
On the fourth try, he finally gave in. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvhJ6nRbUf
Took a deep breath. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupeenUIOU0
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—— 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvMVFRj8f7
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. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QBPDfOSaO
Each scene felt like running naked on a rooftop——with no place to hide, and too much on display.
One scene even specified: 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsuIB7ixwo
“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. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmHzftnJhD
But this wasn’t just “steamy.”
This was a show that never wore pants to begin with—— 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9qL4C56i
and sprinted, shameless, to the very end.
“No, no… I need adjustments…” 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY91CAoLzcg
“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: 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hfuBIzFTm
“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. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzgC5zc6n3
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. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy3iRcDXNe
Fingers hovered above the input box for three seconds. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuh40MfWYd
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. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpQj6NwvUG
He gasped again.
This scene… 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunCaRIrgMZ
There’s no way they can shoot this outdoors. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV7nLZOICk
They’d get reported.
How… how do they block this… 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoKTybmhDM
How do you even block a bite… there?
He buried his face in his hands, 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP7UpVa7nl
letting out a string of miserable noises.
“I’m gonna die…”
Under the desk lamp, his shadow stretched across the wall—— 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6NbG9fEvu
like someone being consumed by the script itself.
The storyboard software was still open. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN2eS8qErK
Title: blank. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfms7kLAyB
The white screen reflected the despair in his eyes.
For the first time in his directing life—— 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBUXDCIGxq
he feared a script might actually kill him.
He wanted to glance at the bunny-and-human photo for comfort—— 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8VajeKYBV
but the boss had posted again—another emotional Story update.
A sand drawing. 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSAiMAQMHk
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—— 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOweH069NyT
so light, it got swallowed by the room before the air conditioner could feel it.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLnm2QAQOl
