Reversal (3)
“······Get into A class, top class? “You mean in the ‘Healing Bureau’?”
The employee had an expression that seemed difficult to understand right now. On the other hand, Bulldog CEO Seo Seo-seop looks confident.
“It doesn’t make sense otherwise, does it? “In the first place, ‘Healing Bureau’ was trash that had been floating around for over two years even after it was completed?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But you gave us Jeonghyeok as the main male lead, and in addition to the investment money, you also gave us some rookies, right? How many things are being organized in Hankyu now? “Is there such a condition for a short film?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“But you broke that condition. Even if it takes a while for Jeong-hyeok to go through the past, isn’t it time to consider something like that when it’s a short film with a production cost of several thousand?”
“······”
Here, the employee glanced at Park Jeong-hyuk on the five-person sofa behind him and hushed his voice.
“Well, if you’re aiming to win the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ with ‘Healing Office,’ I think you might be a little concerned.”
“It happened a long time ago, but I’m really worried. It’s great to be able to produce a movie like that, and Jeonghyeok is a gentleman. Even the worse ones are going to the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’.”
Exhaling cigarette smoke, CEO Seo Seo-seop moved to the five-seater sofa where Park Jeong-hyuk was sitting.
“What did Director Park say? Didn’t he take rookies to Shin Dong-chun? “When you went there, did you have any sense that another actor was there?”
“Ah-yes yes. “Nothing in particular, except that I was meeting with an unknown actor whom I had never seen before.”
“cotton?”
“yes. “It was like there was no face at all.”
CEO Seo Seo-seop, who briefly paused at the word ‘unknown actor’, reacted indifferently.
“Well, I guess I was interviewing an idiot for a minor role. It’s okay with those useless kids. “Did Director Park say anything else?”
“Yeah, other than that. CEO, if director Shin Dong-chun has an A-list actor or higher… shouldn’t Blue Gaze Film Company know about it?”
“That’s right.”
CEO Seo Seo-seop acknowledged and tapped the armrest of the sofa with his index finger. Meanwhile, the noble-looking Park Jeong-hyeok, who was sitting on the left, changed the direction of his crossed legs and joined in.
“Do you think Blue Gaze was plotted behind the scenes without the film company’s knowledge? “Director Shin Dong-chun’s connections aren’t bad.”
Then CEO Seo Seo-seop slapped his thigh.
“yes. “He must have made a lot of connections as a drama producer in the past… Oh, Shin Dong-chun, aren’t you close with that bastard producer Song Man-woo?”
The answer was given by Park Jeong-hyuk.
“We’re close, we act like older and younger brothers.”
“There are only a few top-level producers behind Song Man-woo PD. “If the two were partners, it wouldn’t be strange to see an A-list actor or higher in ‘Healing Office.’”
Here, the employee carefully added his opinion.
“I don’t think he’s a top actor. There is no merit. No matter how much ‘Healing Secret Service’ goes to the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’… the A level is a bit too much, and at best it’s only a B level supporting role. “Isn’t it true that director Shin Dong-chun was weighing the scales and got scared and chose a B-grade actor?”
“hmm-”
It is said that they chose a B-level actor who was safe rather than Park Jung-hyuk, who caused controversy even though he was a top star in the past.
“It’s even more frustrating if it’s B grade or lower.”
Whatever it was, it was a very irritating situation for Seo Seo-seop, the head of GGO Entertainment. If the media found out about it, they would attack Park Jung-hyuk for criticizing him from the start of his comeback.
Even his comeback film was only a short film.
It’s a good thing that the whole thing was carried out very secretly. However, the fact that GGO Entertainment was criticized by Shin Dong-chun, director of ‘Healing Investigation Office’, has not changed.
“Ha-fuck, I feel like shit.”
Representative Seo Seo-seop’s bulldog-like face became increasingly crumpled. He coolly gave instructions to the employee standing in front of him.
“Check around Shin Dong-chun. If an A-list actor or higher is attached, rumors will spread somehow. “If you don’t have anything, you grab a worthless actor and run away.”
“All right.”
“And since we’re throwing everything out and starting over, we’re going to try to find investors. “Get some relief by working around independent and short-length production companies.”
“······What kind of medicine are you talking about?”
“You go around secretly telling me not to give a penny to the ‘crime bureau’!”
“ah! All right!”
“If you don’t have money, you won’t even be able to try to make it, regardless of whether it’s Grade B or something else.”
CEO Seo Seo-seop, who was growling, turned his head to Park Jeong-hyuk on the left.
“Jeonghyuk, you will be going through a lot of short scripts for the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival,’ so check them in detail and choose again tomorrow.”
Park Jeong-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
“Yes, yes – instead, CEO, since this has come to an end, are you definitely pushing me?”
“Are you saying it’s a horse? I’ll give you a proper boost, so don’t do it in moderation, just grit your teeth and act. “At least so that the picture can be chosen better than ‘Healing Investigation Office.’”
“Hey, I still have a few years to spare.”
If you look at his accumulated filmography, there is no director who would ignore Park Jeong-hyuk. Because it’s quite flashy. Soon, CEO Seo Seo-seop wrinkled his face like a bulldog.
“What I’m saying is, no matter what, you have to press the ‘Heat Report’ report. Because my pride is at stake. If possible, select the quality that will win the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’.”
He spat out murderous words.
“So that Shin Dong-chun can hit the ground and regret it.”
after.
Whether by accident or not, the works that Kang Woo-jin started to work on began to pick up speed on their own. The thing that caught my eye the most at this point was:
“Hu-Woojin has also been confirmed, so we’ll have to go all the way to the film companies first.”
It was director Shin Dong-chun of ‘Heungshinso’. Since everything that was going on was overturned, contacting the production company was the top priority. Thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin’s contract was pushed back for now. It was decided to only make a verbal contract regarding the lead role and sign a formal contract after the production company was confirmed.
Plus investors. In other words, money was also needed.
The production company is basic rather than important, and director Shin Dong-chun had to contact the production company and even look for investors. Because there wasn’t much time until the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’.
“If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to find some way to raise money from people around me.”
However, there were not many people willing to lend large sums of money. Even more so when investing in a short film that is likely to fail. In short, director Shin Dong-chun’s reality has become even more difficult.
It’s almost like going back two years.
There is only one difference from then. Kang Woo-jin is featured as the main character. What’s interesting is that director Shin Dong-chun was very energetic, unlike before. He appropriately informed his close brother, producer Song Man-woo, about the current situation.
“Brother, we are overturning everything that was going on with GGO Entertainment and reorganizing the game. Of course, Kang Woo-jin is the main character.”
Producer Song Man-woo, who was on the other side of the phone, naturally cheered.
“Yes, good job. The road may seem very difficult right now, but if you look at it from afar, it is true. “How was it when you met Kang Woo-jin?”
“It was amazing. He was very attached to my ‘Healing Bureau’ and, more importantly, he understood the scenario in more detail than I, the director. Like a person who entered and exited some kind of work. “It doesn’t look that way, but I guess I’m passionate on the inside?”
“He’s the type that doesn’t show anything on the outside. Good timing. “Kang Woo-jin is going to get expensive quickly.”
“That’s right, when your show is aired, love calls will pour in. Please meet me before filming and tell me Woojin’s story. “What’s the point of asking myself?”
“I don’t even know. He is a friend who is so shrouded in mystery. I’ll tell you what I know. So you haven’t heard from the other side?”
“yes? The other side? “Where?”
“Well, he’s someone you can’t even imagine… No, not really.”
Finally, PD Song Man-woo asked what he was still curious about.
“But where did Kang Woo-jin get your scenario from?”
Director Shin Dong-chun shook his head.
“Ah, I was so busy that I couldn’t ask.”
Like that for a day or two.
Before we knew it, weekdays had passed and it was Saturday the 22nd. In other words, the weekend has arrived. Director Shin Dong-chun was still running around like crazy, and ‘Profiler Hanryang’ gave a boost to the progress as much as his passion.
We are in the mid to late stages of pre-production.
All of the remaining actors have been confirmed, and the sets and locations to be used in the beginning of the play have been decided. In addition, an official book script for Part 1 was delivered to each actor.
In addition, through repeated script meetings and production meetings, poster shooting and production presentations were outlined.
Building on that momentum, SeaBlue Studio worked hard to promote the mid-season.
『[Issue Check] The most anticipated film of the first half of the year, ‘Profiler Hanryang’, pre-production is in the final stages, script reading in preparation.』
『‘Profiler Hanryang’ female lead ‘Hong Hye-yeon’ shows off her goddess beauty at a fashion brand party/Photo』
『Do you work at SBC? ‘Profiler Hanryang’ is becoming a hot topic day by day』
Meanwhile, star writer Park Eun-mi was seeking change.
“hmm-”
She sits down and watches a video on her laptop. Kang Woo-jin appears in the video being played. Because it was the video where Woojin first appeared in the role of ‘Deputy Park’.
Author Park Eun-mi said while watching such a video.
“Yes, a little more detached. “But when you act, you better have some madness in your eyes.”
Inspiration began to pour in. It was a fun picture. Do you feel like you are taking the role of ‘Deputy Park’, which the actor perfectly embodies, as a motif?
Thanks to.
-Tadadadadak!
Writer Park Eun-mi, who has quick hands, has already begun revising the script, which has already reached Part 4. From Part 2 to Part 4. This revised version was roughly completed on Monday, after the weekend. And bearded producer Song Man-woo read the revised version completed during the script meeting.
“······By the way, writer Park.”
High praise for author Park Eun-mi with wide eyes.
“The quality of the script has improved several times! “From the psychology of the characters to the density of the writing…plus the other characters as well.”
No, I praised it.
“What is it, Assistant Manager Park? “The three-dimensional effect is killing me??”
The next day, the 25th, Tuesday.
The location was a photo shoot. Dozens of staff, large cameras, and an actress in a suit were visible.
“nice! Hyeyeon! Shall we take off the jacket this time??”
It was Hong Hye-yeon, with long straight hair. She wore her well-tailored suit and designer shoes.
-click! Tidididi!
She was truly a professional, changing her expression and posture according to the exploding shutter. Her beauty that will make anyone’s mouth drop open when they see her is a bonus.
Then.
“okay! “I’ll change my costume and be back in 10 minutes!”
Hong Hye-yeon, who had taken off her suit jacket at the shout of a staff member, moved to her seat. A team of nearly 10 people was already waiting there.
“Sister, you worked hard!”
Hong Hye-yeon was given a bottle of bottled water and a cell phone. Then she sat down, holding her stack of papers on her chair. The cover of a slightly frayed bundle of paper has these words written on it.
-‘Healing office’
In other words, the wad of paper was a scenario for ‘Healing Investigation Office’, and for the past few days, Hong Hye-yeon had been perusing the ‘Heist Investigation Investigation’ scenario. The same goes for this site.
Right at this time.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Her cell phone rings. The opponent was Choi Seong-gun, CEO of BW Entertainment, Hong Hye-yeon’s agency. Since she already had a deal with him, Hong Hye-yeon answered her call right away.
“Uh, brother.”
Choi Seong-gun asked through the cell phone.
“You’re doing a photo shoot, right? “Can I talk to you?”
“Yes, it’s break time now.”
“Then I’ll keep it short for now. Just the essentials. “I’m talking about ‘Healing Intelligence Bureau,’ and after doing some digging, I found out that production has been halted.”
“uh?? why?”
“To be exact, Director Shin Dong-chun upset it. Blue Gaze Film Company was in charge of ‘Healing Office’. “It’s hissing there, but when I checked my line, there was a GGO enter in it?”
“···GGO Enter? “I didn’t hear anything?”
“It seems like it was done quite secretly. Anyway, try putting the pieces together.”
CEO Seong-gun Choi recited his guess.
“Originally, it was a plate that had GGO entertainment on it. But for some reason, director Shin Dong-chun turned it down. Meanwhile, the boy you mentioned, Kang Woo-jin, appears. Just GGO Enter, it feels like that bulldog got drunk after doing something so bad. If there was a bad smell at GGO Entertainment recently, who would it be? Park Jeong-hyuk.”
“ah.”
“It’s time to slowly bring it back. It’s just my guess, but I guess GGO was trying to launder Park Jung-hyuk through the ‘Healing Bureau’? That wouldn’t have worked out well. In the picture award, director Shin Dong-chun chose GGO. Of course, GGO Entertainment was upset and is now influencing independent and short-length production companies.”
“Breath? What breath?”
“I guess GGO decided to take charge of the investment as well. But if things fail, director Shin Dong-chun will have to get the money again. “Will Seo Seo-seop, the angry GGO bulldog, stay still?”
The picture predicted by Choi Seong-gun was close to the correct answer. Hong Hye-yeon, who frowned at this, suddenly stood up.
“So you changed the main character, but now you’re saying that you can’t produce ‘Healing Investigation Office’ because you don’t have the investment money?”
“What if it continues like this?”
“How much does it cost to produce?”
“Only Director Shin Dong-chun knows that.”
“······”
At this point, Hong Hye-yeon, who was lost in thought for some reason, suddenly muttered into her cell phone.
“Oppa, didn’t you say that our BW Entertainment is also preparing for an investment business?”
Meanwhile, at the same time. Artist Park Eun-mi’s studio.
An expressionless Kang Woo-jin is sitting upright at the kitchen table in the writer’s office.
‘It’s a studio, but it’s just like an apartment?’
He came after receiving a call from producer Song Man-woo. Woojin had just arrived, and opposite him were producer Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi.
At this time.
“Mr. Woojin.”
Bearded producer Song Man-woo smiled slightly and opened the water.
“This is your first time coming to Artist Park’s studio, right?”
Kang Woo-jin has been under constant mind control since arriving at this studio. It was to show strength and bravado. In some ways, this place was a battlefield. Of course, only to Kang Woo-jin.
‘You must not let your guard down.’
Thanks to this, Woojin’s face appeared calm. Perhaps it was a little too much, but there was even a subtle madness in her eyes. Although she didn’t really know herself.
“yes. That’s right.”
“Haha, it’s a studio. It’s no different from a house.”
“I see.”
“But Woojin. “Before we get to the main topic, let me just ask one question.”
Producer Song Man-woo, with a small smile on his face, suddenly asked Woojin a question.
“How did you get the ‘Healing Office’ scenario?”
Without bottom or end? Since there wasn’t much to say, it seemed like writer Park Eun-mi also knew about it, and something popped into Kang Woo-jin’s mind around that time.
‘Oh, that’s right. Come to think of it, PD Song, this guy, was that square-jawed director’s friend? ‘I was also surprised because there was something involved.’
Well, that’s it. Woojin felt like it was a hassle to explain this situation in detail. There’s no need to lie. So he just answered appropriately. Compressed and compressed.
“I got it from an acquaintance.”
“friend?”
At the same time, Kang Woo-jin added a hint of arrogance.
“Is the path obtained important?”
“Haha, no no. Honestly, that’s just a simple question on my part, and what I’m really curious about is why you chose ‘Healing Investigation Office’. “At this timing.”
“······”
“I heard from director Shin Dong-chun that he was attached to the script?”
At the end of the speech, writer Park Eun-mi also joined in.
“Our drama is also in progress, so is there a reason to go all the way to ‘Heist Investigation Office’? Assistant Manager Park is not an easy role, right? “For some reason, I find it a bit surprising that Mr. Woojin went out of his way to personally investigate the ‘criminal case.’”
“Are you surprised?”
Producer Song Man-woo gave the answer.
“Honestly, it’s a bit risky to gamble on, isn’t it? Because it is a short story and the current situation is not very good. But right now, Woojin looks so confident.”
I was confident. The basis for judgment is the subspace that only Woojin has. The levels of work you can see there. Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin chose the answer. Well, the right amount of bravado and heaviness was needed. The first two giants require a long look, so it’s not a good idea to avoid answering them. Answers that are too long are also eliminated.
Chic and a little messy.
‘Yeah, let’s go subtle. I can’t talk about subspace anyway.’
Then Kang Woo-jin’s mouth opened.
“It was just a feeling.”
“······persimmon?”
“yes. “The biggest feeling is that it has moved.”
This is enough to pass. Kang Woo-jin praised himself. On the other hand, bearded producer Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi are staring at Woojin across from him. Then, PD Song Man-woo asked a difficult question.
“Woojin, do you usually have a good sense of humor?”
“It’s a bit like that.”
Producer Song Man-woo muttered to himself in response to Woo-jin’s confident answer.
‘persimmon. In other words, the eye or instinct to see a work of art. Huh – if ‘Healing Bureau’ really does well, he will be…’
It was dense and elastic.
‘Are you saying he’s already a monster of some kind and even has a sense of dexterity?’
A snowball of different illusions has just begun.
