Video recording (3)
Hammering with my right hand for the first time in four years.
Hyunsoo thought it would be awkward. But it felt familiar, like he had held it every day.
Hyunsoo could understand the reason.
‘I heard Ares is also used a lot for healing purposes.’
Hyunsoo was a special case in Ares who did not receive any correction from the system.
That’s why the production at Ares has kept Hyun-soo’s skills from rusting.
‘No, rather, it has increased.’
Hyunsoo finally takes control of the blacksmith shop.
There are a total of seven blades that need to be made on the Chiljido map.
Those representing one central blade and six branches.
Taang! Taang! Taang! Taang!
A minor key that rings out cheerfully.
Hyun-soo, who is constantly changing positions with the hand holding the tongs.
The room became quiet for a moment.
Jinseop and Jihye silently watched the scene.
Jinseop was laughing in vain.
As a doctor, he has seen countless cases performed by great doctors.
Sometimes bold, sometimes daring, and sometimes more careful and sophisticated than anyone else.
Plus, I’m full of confidence.
‘This is Hyun-soo’s true appearance… … .’
It’s something I’ve only heard about.
And nurse Jihye, who secretly had a crush on Hyunsoo.
She blushed as she watched Hyun-soo, engrossed in his work, wearing only a black short-sleeved T-shirt.
‘Hey, is this the Hyunsu I know?’
Every time he heard the hospital bill, he had an expression on his face like he was hearing a death sentence.
Every time he came to the hospital, his shoulders would slump and he would have a look on his face like his whole world was falling apart. But inside the blacksmith shop, he was a completely different person.
He was more confident than anyone else and his expression clearly showed that he was the best in this field.
Plus.
Two filming crew members came at Ian’s request.
Those who once worked at the same broadcasting station as Ian said this when they saw Hyun-soo collapse.
“Ho-beom, you said you would never do broadcasting in your life, so why would you edit for someone like that?”
At first they thought it was sympathy.
But now it was different.
They are looking at the suspension bridge being captured on camera.
Only the appearance of Hyun-soo inside the blacksmith shop.
Zzurrur-
The film crew felt goosebumps running down their backs.
‘At that age… …?’
‘Isn’t this a total national treasure?’
His tall stature, handsome face, and passionate appearance, dripping with sweat, shook the hearts of even the male filming crew.
‘This is awesome… … .’
Should we call it an occupational disease?
They always associate everything with ratings.
They also knew about the current blacksmith, and they heard from Ho-beom when this video would be opened.
‘This is the video of the year.’
‘How high will Hyun go with this video?’
The two people were looking forward to it.
And the work continued day and night.
People took turns sleeping in their cars or going to temporary accommodations.
One of the people who had gone to the accommodation at that time came back.
It was Director Park.
Director Park, standing next to Jin-su, took him in his eyes.
‘How many hours have passed?’
What I thought when I first saw him.
What would that little kid do?
But that thinking was changing.
He was the greatest historian in our country.
He was also a professor of history at Korea University, the best university in our country.
He also worked as a top emotional counselor.
The blade will soon be completed.
A single, rising blade flanked by six splendid branches.
‘It’s true… … .’
Director Park was impressed.
After countless picklings and forgings, Hyunsu begins the process of engraving letters on the lacquerware.
‘Gold inlay technique… … .’
The Chiljido map has letters engraved in gold.
To carve these gold letters, they are made with a carving knife.

Next, you have to insert the gold thread into it, which is a very difficult skill, but also a fun one.
‘Proof of the Korean Peninsula.’
This is a technology that tells us that Baekje was the first to implement the gold inlay technique on the Korean Peninsula a long time ago.
Before I knew it, the gold thread had begun to fit into the letters, and after a few hours, Hyunsu spoke.
“It’s done.”
The camera crew quickly approaches and takes close-up shots of the completed map.
‘beautiful…….’
It was such a fine piece of work that even laypeople who were ignorant of blacksmithing could immediately recognize it.
And Director Park, who had been watching him from a step away, also took a step forward.
Everyone’s eyes were turned to him.
Before I knew it, he was wearing pure white gloves and was watching the map closely.
Hyunsoo was nervous.
Because he also knew that Director Park was the best appraiser in the country.
Director Park, who was soon looking at him, said:
“It’s a perfect reproduction, I can’t think of anything else to say.”
Only then did Hyun-soo feel relieved.
Again, Hyun-soo was handed the map and Ho-beom spoke.
“Now it’s time to follow Blacksmith Hyun’s interview.”
The interview began soon.
***
Ho-beom’s heart swelled with excitement as he followed Hyun-soo’s interview.
His first video production for him was beyond satisfying and left Hobeom amazed.
‘Oh my god, I can’t believe you’re actually recreating the Chiljido map.’
What are Hyun-soo’s possibilities?
Suddenly, I thought to myself that I was really lucky to be with this person.
‘There are some things that are a bit disappointing.’
But Hobeom regained his appetite.
The best work has come out, so all it needs is to be promoted.
Of course, Hyunsoo decided to follow the interview with the National Museum staff.
And this was conditional.
He said he would do an interview if the employee was satisfied.
“Ahem.”
And as I watch him clear his throat, I think he more than meets the criteria.
But here’s the problem.
‘The public will just think that a civil servant is being interviewed.’
When we watch TV and a National Museum employee interviews us, do we think about it?
No. I think he’s just one of the employees.
I think you’re telling me how great that piece is.
That’s why I felt sorry.
‘If it were an interview with a more influential person… … .’
Then the filming crew said.
“Everything is done. Now let’s finish by interviewing the staff.”
Soon Jinsoo was seen adjusting his tie.
At that time, a completely unexpected person appeared.
“I’ll do that interview.”
“… … ?”
Hobeom made a surprised expression.
This is because the person who stepped forward was none other than Director Park.
Hobeom knew who Director Park was.
‘That person is quite well known worldwide.’
Of course, ordinary people tend to not know much about emotional history, no matter how famous it is.
But what if you’ve ever been on a show called ‘Real vs. Fake!’?
Director Park was a figure who had become quite familiar to the public after appearing on the program during his time as a professor.
“Wow, is that the director?”
Jinsoo was embarrassed.
This was also questionable to Hyunsoo.
Director Park looked at Hyun-soo after confirming that the camera was not rolling yet.
4 years ago.
‘The country can’t support you! What do you mean, Kang Hyun-tae is one of the few blacksmiths left in the world! Who else but the country can protect him?’
Although no one knew it, the person who ran to the office and fought the hardest for Hyun-tae’s hospital bills was Director Park.
It is also true that Hyun-soo was ignored because he was surrounded by prejudice that he was just a young person.
There is also a clear reason why he majored in history and became the director of the National Museum.
Because I love history.
“This is a gift that is just right for the person who perfectly recreated Baekje’s Chiljido.”
Director Park gave a small smile.
Soon the interview began.
“This Baekje Chiljido is… … .”
Ho-beom was amazed as he watched the interview begin.
‘As expected, people who eat broadcast material are different!’
I knew how to give it space.
“As you can see, this lacquerware was handcrafted using techniques from the past. It is such a fine piece of work that it could be considered a reproduction of a real lacquerware.”
The camera crew deliberately prompted the questions.
“I see. Then what do you think about the producer?”
Director Park gave a small smile at that.
“I believe he is the only master craftsman in our country, and indeed the world. As someone who has appraised hundreds of his works… … .”
Hobeom was amazed.
‘Wow, this is totally awesome!’
Hyunsoo created a masterpiece by creating a legend on top of a legend.
And Hobeom was confident that this video would be his masterpiece.
Hyunsoo’s personal story.
And the trauma he experienced during the production process.
The sight of him beating him.
A perfectly reproduced map of the seven kingdoms.
Finally, the last words of confidence from Director Park.
Gulp-
‘How many views will this get? 20 million? 30 million?’
Ho-beom thought that it would be neatly organized since not only our country but also the world would see it.
But that expectation was completely off the mark.
I didn’t know at the time.
That means it’ll get several times more views than he predicted.
***
Filming has ended.
The National Museum had to report to its superiors to determine its value.
“The price will be calculated and transferred soon.”
Hyunsoo gave a small smile at that.
“I will donate the Chiljido. And as promised, will you display it after my video is uploaded?”
You’re giving away this precious map for free?
This is a very welcome development for the National Museum.
Also, if we estimate what Hyun-soo said, it could be exhibited within a few months, so it is something the National Museum can definitely accept.
Soon everyone returned and Hobeom asked.
“But it must be quite a sum, donating it? You are very generous.”
Hyunsoo smiled bitterly.
And Ho-Bum thinks that if the map was made in Ares, it would be more valuable than in reality.
It’s really ironic.
The value is greater in the virtual world.
But Hyunsoo said with a subtle expression.
“Probably, it will come back more valuable.”
Ho-beom couldn’t understand what was being said.
After finishing filming, Hyun-soo returned to Seoul to see his father.
Hyunsoo comes to the hospital every week and tells his father what has happened.
Jinseop said that even though Hyuntae was in a vegetative state, he could hear everything.
Of course, it could be said as a consolation.
“… … I think we can make more people interested in our work, the dream we talked about. Of course, it’s also thanks to the virtual reality called Ares. The Chiljido I donated this time will be the beginning of that.”
Hyunsoo gave a small smile.
***
A few months later.
National Museum.
Recently, the National Museum has been packed to the brim.
After the heat had died down a bit, the children from Bright Kindergarten came on a field trip.
Children who came on a field trip thinking it was an amusement park or a zoo were disappointed by the word museum.
The same goes for 6-year-old Su-hyeon.
Su-hyeon, wearing a bee-like yellow outfit, wanted to quickly watch some animation on her smartphone.
At that time, the guide teacher said.
“This replica is the Chiljido of Baekje that has been a hot topic. During the Three Kingdoms period, King Geunchogo of Baekje… … .”
After the boring explanation, Soo-hyun slowly raised her head at the mention of the topic being talked about recently.
Then Soo-hyeon was surprised.
Because there was a mysterious sword lying there, reminiscent of a beautiful tree branch.
“Wow… … .”
“oh my god.”
“It’s a really unique looking sword.”
“This map was made and donated by craftsman Kang Hyeon-su, and recently, Ares… … .”
Su-hyeon just stared at the sword as if possessed.
Something I’ve only heard about and read about in books.
Also, most of them are rusty and old.
But it wasn’t like this.
“He’s so cool,” said Soo-hyun, whose eyes were stolen by him.
“Teacher, if I learn, can I make a sword like that?”
Hyunsoo can’t change the world alone.
But for some, their lives were clearly changing.
