Chapter 42 (2/2)
”No”
”Sorry?”
”She's incredible at it”
I could confirm it now
Lee Songha was really good at acting I couldn't keep count of howHer talents weren't si, instead, she possessed an incredible talent for acting If that wasn't the case, either ly biased
I no longer worried or was uneasy about the audition I wanted to get her to audition quickly I wanted to show the director and writers, ere producing the dra abilities in front of them I couldn't wait to see their expressions and hear what kinds of admiration they would say
When I was thinking this, my phone vibrated
It was a nu for the first time
”hello?”
-Are you the person in charge of Neptune?
”Yes, I a Sunwoo”
-I a
His ti was incredible
I walked to the sofa with quick steps and took out a notebook and pen fro
”hello, producer I had been waiting for your call”
-I called you today about the audition When would be a good time?
”Since we just finished recording yesterday, we're free until the day after”
-We can't do the day after tomorrow, should we set the date for tomorrow? Ah, also…
From the other side, the producer hesitated for a ,
-And hoould you feel about auditioning for another role besides Jung Haewon?
This wasn't shocking Since I orried when I read the script as well
The i Haeasroles which were there to support male and female lead, this character had a clear narrative, and because of this, it required a coe of emotions
There was no production or director ould cast someone who had not even proved her skills, so actress but a roup, in such an important role without any concern If there was, I would be more worried
-I don't know if you've read the script, but Jung Haewon is a difficult role
”Yes, we've read it”
-There are a lot of e is aard Since Lee Songha is young, how about she auditions for easier and safer roles like a part-timer at the female lead's work…
If I had received this call before I came here, I may have hesitated
However, I wouldn't now
The reason why I focused on this role froha had acted in an interpreter role throughHaewon role to reach that goal
But now, I had better reasons
First, the character Jung Haeas just too good to give up
Second, since Lee Songha had started to become attached to this role
And, of course, I was confident that Lee Songha would be great for the role
”Thank you, producer However…”
-Yes?
”We want to audition for the Jung Haewon role like we decided”
The production producer of Pan Production, Park Sookyung, held a duster and stood on a chairWhen he dusted the top shelf of a dusty bookshelf, clu Juhed
”It's not like Seo Jijoon is co, do we really need to clean?”
When Park Sookyung gru sternly, clicked his tongue
”They are coo back and say our office was a shi+thole? Also, even if that's not the case, she's the first celebrity to come audition Won't I lose face if our office is in this state? Hurry up, man They'll be here soon”
”You already said that there was a 99 chance on't pick her for the role of Jung Haewon anyways…”
Two planning producers, who had returned fro with external matters, joined in
”I also saw Lee Songha's profile Her looks were a, I don't think I'll switch the channel since it will be like watching a photo book or a commercial”
CEO Kim Pansuk snorted as he retorted,
”Everyone and their raphers are so skilled these days”
”I saw their music video as well”
”You only knohen you see theroupthe best looks, are humiliated once they in a two-shot with an actress?”
”That's true Since they say actresses are on a different class”
Park Sookyung nodded his head in agreeone out to buy expensive snacks for the guests co to audition, ran in
”Wow… Did you all see? There's a celebrity downstairs right now I think she's an actress”
”Why are you like that? You said you were the assistant director of aan actress”
The youngest producer gulped down his saliva at Park Sookyung's scolding
”Senior, she's incredibly pretty There's a halo effect from 100 meters away!”
That ain, accompanied by a thud
A man and woman pair entered the office Everyone in the office instantly realized the person with the halo effect the youngest producer had been talking about was the wo fuss
”hello, I aha”
”I a Sunwoo”
The ted as they greeted theuests
”I a”
He glanced at Lee Songha, as in front of hiht hair, which had become ruffled when she bowed her head, with her white hand A perfect face was revealed froe to whistle
He had iroup ave off a cal her identity, he would have surely assumed she was an actress
She would be humiliated if she was in a two-shot with an actress?
It, instead, had co role, he would have to worry about the female lead Since it would be difficult to remain in a two-shot with her without decent looks
”Please take care of us”
Park Sookyung turned his eyes away froha with difficulty Theout his business card He earing a casual suit and a clean coat His style wasn't one that lance
Although he was tall and handsoentle
The words 'W&U Manageraved on the high-quality business card
After they exchanged light greetings with everyone in the office including Ki roo with the Jumi
As soon as the door closed, the re three people prepared coffee and snacks as they whispered endlessly Of course, the bulk of their conversation was about Lee Songha's looks
Then, the youngest producer suddenly asked,
”The person who cah up? What's his title?”
”There was only his naer He looked too composed”
”But, do higher ups normally come and see their rookies' auditions? It's not even a s company like W&U… Is she perhaps so? It looks plausible just looking at her appearance”
”Then, she ht”
They looked towards theroom door with curious expressions
The audition was just about to start within the firmly shut door
{1} She was very sleepy
{2} I chose a literal translation People used to store food (usually grains or plants) in jugs, and s often to eat the food inside
{3} I forget the rooement for his nephews and nieces so I just put 'nieces and nephews' room' They have yet to appear in the story
