Expressionless? Kang Woo-jin’s face was definitely indifferent right now. She just saw a goddess smiling in front of her. No, just staring at top actress Hong Hye-yeon.
“······”
My mind was also peaceful. She was nothing but calm. But this was not real peace. The accident just stopped unexpectedly.
‘···Eh?’
It was Kang Woo-jin who had been frozen since Hong Hye-yeon appeared, and his expression at that time had hardened. This naturally maintained the concept of Woojin. Who wouldn’t want accidents to stop? It’s surprising that a goddess suddenly appears.
“Are you not surprised at all? “Anyway, can I do a ‘heist report’?”
I want to make a short film.
‘Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What…how does this work?’
Why can’t the heroine of a huge drama come here and do a short story? It would have been understandable if she had any inkling, but Hong Hye-yeon did not provide any excuse. No, in the first place, her Woojin didn’t talk to her much.
‘Aren’t things going strangely again?’
Kang Woo-jin managed to start his brain that had stopped. Things get bigger. Thousands of times more than when director Shin Dong-chun completely upsets the game.
It was at this time that Hong Hye-yeon’s laughing voice was heard.
“Woojin, isn’t it too peaceful? “Did you even expect that I would become a ‘heist reporter’?”
No, not at all. Kang Woo-jin did not speak out because the shock had not yet subsided. It was because I was worried that it would make a noise. Thanks to you, I just shook my head.
-Sigh.
Hong Hye-yeon, whose face was slightly bent, asked again.
“But why are you so calm? Not fun. “I thought you’d be a bit surprised this time.”
surprised. That too, incredibly. I guess we can talk about this sincerely. Soon, Woojin managed to speak in a low voice.
“I was surprised.”
“You’re funny, even though you have an unimpressed face.”
At this time, Kang Woo-jin was having a hard time coming to his senses. She wonders why this goddess is here. Then, for a moment, something crossed his mind. Kang Woo-jin recites that.
“By any chance, did PD Song Man-woo talk about it?”
Director Shin Dong-chun and producer Song Man-woo are close friends. If I had to find a connection with Hong Hye-yeon, there was no other way than this, and Hong Hye-yeon smiled and brushed her long straight hair, not sure if it was the right answer or not.
“That’s half the answer.”
It smells good. Oh, no. Kang Woo-jin suddenly came to his senses. First, clear confirmation came first.
“···So are you really saying you want to run a ‘healing bureau’?”
“I told you so. No?”
“If you’re kidding.”
“No? It may seem like I’m just playing around, but I’m busy. “There’s no time for pranks.”
Even her whining appearance is like that of a goddess. No matter what happens, if you do that, I’ll be the one to thank you, right? Thank you so much. Although Kang Woo-jin’s reputation among those around him has improved endlessly, he was still a small citizen at heart.
However, Hong Hye-yeon will be involved in the work that the small citizen is planning to do.
‘Combat power increased by 1 million times.’
At that moment, Kang Woo-jin’s passion increased significantly.
“It doesn’t matter if you want to.”
“Yeah, it’s a call, right?”
In the meantime, I stood there stupidly watching the conversation between Woojin and Hong Hye-yeon.
“······ah.”
Square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun opened his mouth, covering his face with one hand.
“Hey, hey Hyeyeon. “Sit down first.”
But Hong Hye-yeon shook her head.
“no. I have my next schedule so I have to go soon. Ah, PD Dongchun. long time no see. “I’m saying hello now.”
“Ah…yes. It’s been a while. Are you saying that Hyeyeon is really, really running a ‘heist crime investigation’? sorry. “It’s a little hard to believe.”
“Yes, I want to.”
Hong Hye-yeon answered briefly and placed the stack of papers she had brought at her side on the desk. She was a ‘heist detective’ scenario.
“I’ve already read the script several times. “If it’s okay with the director, I’d like to play the role of ‘wife.’”
“Hye-yeon… you know exactly, right? The role of the wife is not even the lead role, but a main/supporting role, and this ‘Healing Investigation Office’ is just another short film?”
“Yes, yes. I know. Also, I heard you’re going to submit this film to the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’?”
“······uh? “How did you know that?”
In response to the question, Hong Hye-yeon smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
“Our talented CEO told us this.”
“Wait, wait a minute.”
Perhaps because so many things were happening at once, Director Shin Dong-chun sat down in his chair helplessly. At this moment, something occurred to him and he made eye contact with Hong Hye-yeon again.
“ah! But it’s impossible for me to match Hyeyeon’s appearance fee.”
“I know that too.”
Hong Hye-yeon muttered quickly and took out a business card from her denim jacket pocket. Hong Hye-yeon delivers the business card to director Shin Dong-chun.
Her smile deepened.
“But since we are investors, I guess you don’t have to worry?”
“yes? “You’re an investor.”
Director Shin Dong-chun, speechless, checked the business card he had received.
-bw entertainment.
-CEO Seong-gun Choi.
Hong Hye-yeon’s agency and representative are written on the business card. Director Shin Dong-chun, who was looking at the business card, raised his head again.
“Ah, Choi Dae-pyo.”
“You know?”
“I know. What you don’t know is even weirder. But are you saying that BW is also in charge of investment?”
“yes. For further details, the director will contact the CEO directly.”
Things move quickly. In response, Kang Woo-jin just watched with a poker face. He doesn’t know what’s going on, but let’s just shut up. At that point, Hong Hye-yeon seemed to have reached the point where she turned and stopped.
“Oh, and Director Dong-chun. Please keep anything related to me a secret from the outside world, such as my joining and other things. If possible, until the work is submitted.”
She grabbed the door handle of the rental office and suddenly turned to look at Kang Woo-jin.
“But why is it a ‘crime report’?”
I heard a similar question somewhere. As a result, Woojin solemnly gave a similar answer as before.
“By feeling.”
“···persimmon? under! It really hits the nail on the head. Woojin, you know it too, right? “Something a little different?”
“well.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who had a slightly puzzled expression on her face, muttered softly and left the office.
“Well, you’ll know when you watch. “Please contact me.”
– Sweet.
As soon as the door closed, director Shin Dong-chun rushed to Kang Woo-jin.
“What the hell is this now! Woojin! Woojin, didn’t you know at all??!”
but.
“······”
Kang Woo-jin was silent with a stern expression. This wasn’t about maintaining the concept.
just.
‘···Contact me??’
It was because Hong Hye-yeon’s words to contact me were surprising.
The afternoon of the same day. Kang Woo-jin’s studio.
Due to a crazy incident that occurred in the morning, Kang Woo-jin was now lying naked on the blanket. It’s a bonus to foolishly look up at the ceiling. Many thoughts crossed my mind, but the biggest part right now was Hong Hye-yeon, whom I had seen in the morning.
Of course it was good. The same goes for director Shin Dong-chun. Still, I couldn’t help but feel a bit like I was walking in a dream.
“If this happens, will I be working with Hong Hye-yeon on two works in a row?”
At this time, Kang Woo-jin thinks of his regular friend Kim Dae-young. What would he think if he heard this now? Wouldn’t you be truly sick of it? Kang Woo-jin, who had been thinking about these useless thoughts for a while, suddenly woke up.
First of all, one thing was certain.
“I can’t sit still.”
Kang Woo-jin’s motivation and fighting power flared up compared to yesterday. What Woojin picked up was the official book script of Part 1 of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ that he received yesterday. The cover was light purple and the title was written in white calligraphy style.
“This is an official book script – it definitely looks like it has something to it.”
Unlike a wad of paper, a formal book script had the power to excite people. That’s how Kang Woo-jin felt right now.
“K-I’m just on set watching this, right?”
Delusions also unfolded. Myself looking at this book script at a filming location with many staff running around. Thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin felt something serious about him.
-Sigh.
With a small smile, he nonchalantly poked at the black square next to the script. Soon, Woojin was sucked into subspace.
An endless dark space.
The feeling of infinite subspace was still the same. However, Kang Woo-jin was now very calm, except for a little fear. She came and went a lot, so it was natural for her.
“see-”
Kang Woo-jin turned and moved in front of the floating white square. What’s interesting is that the number of white squares listed has become quite simple.
Only three were visible now.
Originally, I would have had to overcome three. The reason was simple. Because Woojin discovered the ‘delete’ function through subspace experiments. The method was simple. If you select an unnecessary white square and say delete with your mouth, it will be deleted.
It was similar to an ‘exit’ command going outside.
Since Kang Woo-jin likes to keep things organized, I really liked this feature. It’s easy to see and neat, right?
Whatever it is.
-Sigh.
Woojin looked at the white squares that had been reduced to three.
-[1/Scenario (Title: Detective Agency), Grade B]
-[2/Script (Title: Profiler Hanryang Part 1), Grade A]
-[3/Script (Title: Profiler Hanryang Part 1), Grade A+]
Soon, he muttered to himself as if he had expected it.
“also. “The first draft of the script and the official book script are recognized separately.”
It was about ‘the amount of profilers’. In fact, until yesterday, there were two white squares in Woojin’s subspace. But one was just added, making it three.
In other words, the official book script for Part 1 of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ has been listed.
In this case, the answer was simple. The first draft, which was a bundle of paper, and the official script, which was a book script, are separate. It was natural. Only the content is the same, but there are some modifications to the official book script, such as the atmosphere.
About this way.
“huh?”
Kang Woo-jin, who was looking at the white squares, noticed something different about what had just been added.
-[3/Script (Title: Profiler Hanryang Part 1), Grade A+]
It was the level indicated at the end.
“A+? “There’s a +?”
The original draft was just grade A. However, in this official book script, + has been added. In other words, I had to go up in grade.
“A+ above grade A? Then what about A++? Or S-class?”
Whatever it was, it was a new discovery. The A+ level he saw for the first time was like that, but Kang Woo-jin focused on something else.
“Isn’t this a fixed level value?”
This means that there may be changes. Well, it wasn’t really strange. Because creating a piece of work can involve numerous processes and changes. So why did this official book script rise to the level?
Because the quality has improved? Because there were some modifications?
In either case, the increase in level was a green light. If it goes down there will be a problem, but if it goes up it won’t really matter. Kang Woo-jin, who muttered moderately, turned his attention to what he was trying to do.
“Let’s get all the reading (experience) possible.”
Experiencing the characters in the official book script of Part 1 of ‘Profiler Hanryang’. Everything possible. Of course, ‘Deputy Park’ was also included.
If you think about it, this was practice for Kang Woo-jin.
“The goal is to destroy all people.”
Having the gaze of all male characters in ‘Profiler Hanryang’, not just the gaze of Assistant Manager Park. If you do this, your understanding will increase.
“I don’t have much knowledge in this field, so I need to have something to maintain my quality among the incredible top actors.”
Kang Woo-jin did not know that this was an important part of script analysis: analyzing each character and understanding their chemistry. There was no way that the quality of acting would have improved due to this. It’s just a simple conclusion made from the perspective of the general public.
So, Kang Woo-jin.
-[3/You have selected Script (Title: Profiler Hanryang Part 1).]
-[List people who can lead (experience).]
-[A: Yoo Ji-hyung, B: Jeong Sang-min, C Bae Se-jun······E: Assistant Manager Park]
First, I chose the male lead role.
[“Preparing to read ‘A: Yoo Ji-hyung’…”]
soon.
[“······Ready. This is a very high-quality script or scenario. The implementation level is 100%. Let’s start reading.”]
Kang Woo-jin was sucked into Yoo Ji-hyung’s world, not Assistant Manager Park’s.
two days later.
When Kang Woo-jin, who opened his eyes late in the morning and had bald heads, rubbed his eyes and went to the bathroom.
-♬♪
Woojin’s cell phone rang loudly. Was it an alarm at first? I did, but it wasn’t. It was a phone call. The opponent is director Shin Dong-chun. Soon, Woojin tilted his head and answered the phone. He didn’t need to tone down his voice.
-Sigh.
Because it was immediately after waking up, it was locked tightly.
“Yes, director.”
On the other hand, I was reminded of director Shin Dong-chun’s voice over the cell phone.
“Mr. Woojin! Haha, you should go somewhere with me around late lunch in a few hours!”
“Where?”
“You’ll find out when you go! Oh, do you have any plans?”
expected? There wasn’t anything in particular. However, pretending not to be too busy can hinder your ability to understand the concept. Therefore, Woojin pretended to think for a moment.
“Um, don’t worry about lunch. “How about around 3pm?”
“Okay, I’ll see you around then.”
A few hours later.
Woojin, who was out of the weather but dressed appropriately, came out of the one-room building and walked for a bit, and saw the square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun smiling on the shoulder of the road.
“Mr. Woojin! Get in!”
A black van was parked behind the powerful director Shin Dong-chun.
“Hahaha, I needed it so I borrowed it long-term.”
I don’t feel bad about picking him up in my own car. Woojin got into the van, imagining his future manager, and director Shin Dong-chun, who was somewhat tense, quickly got into the driver’s seat.
-Boo hoo!
Still, the van leaves. The van entered the highway and accelerated rapidly. Meanwhile, director Shin Dong-chun, who was driving, kept talking to his passenger seat, Woo-jin.
“Luckily the investment was resolved very neatly, hahaha. “Hye-yeon is a very noble person, noble person.”
People say that BW Entertainment is a new investor, that they immediately saved the film company, and that they can supply and demand actors quickly. At this point, Woojin just nodded and showed his composure. Did it run like that for about 2 hours?
-Squeak!
The van arrived in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. Kang Woo-jin gets out of the car. Woojin then focused his gaze on the front. It had to be that way. There was nothing around except a rather large villa in front.
“ah.”
As soon as he saw the villa, Woojin felt something.
“That villa.”
It is very similar to the villa in ‘Healing Investigation Office’. As if to prove this, director Shin Dong-chun, standing next to Woojin, smiled cheerfully.
“you’re right. “This villa is the main filming location for our ‘Healing Office.’”
Two stories high, a living room with a wide window with a clear view of the interior, a nearby road with few people, a mountain full of trees behind the villa, etc.
It was a bit gloomy, similar to the villa in ‘Heungshinso’.
Director Shin Dong-chun, who took a few steps toward the villa, added an explanation.
“The production costs are so high that I can’t even think about sets. “Most short films are similar.”
I see But how did you find a villa like that? As Woojin was muttering to himself, Director Shin Dong-chun turned around and continued speaking.
“I came across this place by chance when I was working on the scenario early on and kept it in my mind. “Once the investment was resolved, we started recruiting from here.”
In the background, director Shin Dong-chun laughed haha, saying that the old couple who owned the villa willingly gave permission. That’s him.
-Sigh.
Suddenly, he walked in front of Kang Woo-jin and showed the white document envelope he had been carrying at his side. Soon, director Shin Dong-chun, whose face changed to a serious look, spoke with a confident voice.
“Mr. Woojin. It was resolved for both investors and the film company. Fortunately, I think the rest of the actors will be cast without any problems. The same goes for Hyeyeon.”
“thank god.”
“It’s all thanks to Woojin Kang.”
What did I do? Contrary to Woo-jin, who thought he had done nothing, director Shin Dong-chun, whose eyes were slightly red, handed an envelope of documents to Kang Woo-jin.
“Now there is only one main character left in the contract. “This is a formal contract.”
Kang Woo-jin calmly receives the document envelope. With this, Kang Woo-jin’s first starring film has been confirmed. Although it is a short story. Director Shin Dong-chun then made eye contact with Woojin and continued the briefing.
“However, I don’t have time, so I think the script reading and filming schedule will overlap. This filming started right away on March 10th. “The filming period is 5 days.”
Today is Friday, February 28th. In other words, there are approximately 10 days left until March 10th. Suddenly, the filming came to a close. Thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin kept his cynical tone while still muttering to himself.
‘Wow, I’m a little nervous now that it’s happening.’
This moment.
-Ugh.
Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone vibrated briefly. What arrived was a chat, and Woojin, who asked for director Shin Dong-chun’s understanding, confirmed the sender of the chat and its contents.
-Producer Song Man-woo.
-[Sharing script reading and unity MT schedule]
-[Saturday, March 7th ~ Sunday, March 8th, 2 days and 1 night schedule]
The script reading for ‘Profiler Hanryang’ took place a week later.
And that day, March 7th, arrived.
『[Star Talk] ‘Profiler Hanryang’, joined by many top actors, leaves MT with script reading… Departs tomorrow』
It was a blink of an eye.
