Love Me Again (Taehyung X Reader)

Chapter 36: "We have all night."

Y/N POV:

The next few days passed quickly, much quicker than I had expected them to.  Hiroki's lawyer had reviewed the contract and had let Hiroki know that the terms were reasonable, along with the 50/50 split on any money made from the films.  Hiroki signed the contract and negotiations for the films began.  Jimin and the rest of the departments at PJM Enterprises had sent some ideas on what type of film could be created and the responses from Natsuro Productions were extremely positive.  I could tell right away that this collaboration was going to be successful, probably more successful than any other collaboration ever done.  From the beginning, PJM Enterprises and Natsuro Productions had one thing in common that would ensure their success: respect for the other company.

After the signing of the contract, Taehyung spent the next couple of days in meetings; ideas being presented, rejected, scrapped or reinvented.  By the end of the third day, both companies had agreed on an idea, along with two of the locations.  After the music was decided, the next step would be starting the writing of the script then choosing the cast.  Two screenwriters from each company would be chosen, along with assistants, and we knew this would be the most challenging aspects, knowing that the screenwriters would have to rely on a lot of phone calls and potentially a visit from one or the other.

Between the two companies, they had decided on two separate films.  The first was a science fiction/faux documentary film about an idol group that met their soulmate, one they all shared.  It would follow the struggles they faced with finding her, along with both the support and hate received from their fans knowing their idols were no longer available.  It was unlike something that had ever been created, but both companies were willing to take the risks.

The other film was a science fiction/romantic comedy film about a cat hybrid that fell in love with the university student who volunteered at the clinic he had been taken to after he was attacked in an alley.  The film would showcase their slowly building friendship, focusing on the hybrid learning to trust the caring human despite what he had gone through.  It was also something new, but this one was exceptionally exciting. 

On the fifth day of meetings, Hiroki and Taehyung decided on the music production team for both films.  Yoongi from PJM Enterprises and Takeshita Yuko from Natsuro Productions would head the first film.  Yuko was a recent graduate of the music production department at University of Tokyo and had shown tremendous potential.  The decision to pair her with Yoongi was a tough one, but Hiroki, Jimin, and Taehyung had agreed she would flourish under his instruction. 

Namjoon and Tachibana Tomio would head the second film.  Tomio was a few years older than Namjoon and had the success of a few films under his belt.  He had graduated from the Tokyo Institute of Technology at the top of his class and knew exactly what he was doing. 

Jimin had chosen Ham Dong-Min, along with Jungkook to head the graphic teams, knowing the two of them were the best in the company, even though Dong-Min was only 20.  Hiroki had chosen Hada Yoshi and Tamura Chiyo.  Yoshi was the head of the graphics department and he had been working with Hiroki since he opened his company up fifteen years ago.  Chiyo was a young designer who had only been with the company for a year, but like Yuko, she was extremely talented and could definitely add her own flair to the films.  Jungkook and Chiyo would be working together on the first film, while Dong-Min and Yoshi took over the second. 

I couldn't help but be surprised with the choices that Hiroki was making.  Instead of choosing team members with the most experience, Hiroki was giving opportunities to his younger employees.  It gave me a greater amount of respect for him, knowing that he trusted the younger members to do the right thing.  It reminded me of Jimin in some ways, seeing the appreciation both CEOs had for their employees.
