The Han River was completely red The Team 2 Leader looked at the river from a half-opened carPerhaps it was the sunset or the wine he had during the , but his face was flushed Above his beard, his lips for in the driver's seat said with a laugh,
”It's been a while since you've been in such a good mood, teaoodsince the Tea everywhere he went Also, it was Chief Jo Byunghhose tongue had worn down fro to find ways to cheer him up His expression was bitter
”Well, I mean, you look to be in a betterSunwoo?”
The Teahwan received his words out of habit
”He was so frightened after one incident with Lee Songha's faoing to lower his tail so easily, I don't knohy he barged into your office He looked like he was about to start a fight”
”Start a fight?”
The Team 2 Leader snorted as he leisurely said,
”How can he start a fight when he has no guts? That bastard, unlike his appearance, he spares hi him 'Lucky Charm', and the public lifts him up as 'Midas's Hand' Do you think he's ever participated in a battle of wits?”
”Still, he did decisively handle the matter about Nahwan recalled the past
”I heard he ainst him and ripped the contract in front of hiht Director Park was a pushover”
As if he was a little drunk, the Team 2 Leader opened theeven wider Then he muttered at the ind,
”He probably has his suspicions aboutthe director to re, no action There's no need to worry about hihed for a while
”I have no reason to be stressed now that he's quieted down My enteritis is all better Inho's debut is going well Jijoona project, but he set up a project proposal ht? I orried that Jijoon would beco, I guess he does plan on working Did he like the project? Director sobunghwe and Writer Jo Eunhye are leading this project, right?”
”That's right When was the ain?”
”Let's see It's at 8, so it should be starting soon”
”Let's visit”
”Pardon?”
Chief Jo Byunghwan's eyes widened
”You are personally going to visit? Chief Lee Bongjoon said that this was a casualcompany and the director and writer to listen to the project proposal details If you go there, our side ressive”
”There's no need to be there the wholewe can at least say hi There was also the issue with Chaeyoung”
”The issue with Chaeyoung?”
The Teaue as he replied,
”I received Director Seo's proposal to persuade Chaeyoung The writer had picked out Yoon Jungah as the fe these proposals to actresses, but I got one by bringing Chaeyoung up However, she rejected it without so rudge”
”That's why I' to visit and settle the matter”
The car headed back to where they ca to be at Yeouido, which was close While they were parking the car at the restaurant, Chief Jo Byunghwan called Chief Lee Bongjoon
”Uh, aren't you Team Leader Lee at W&U?”
The two halted in their steps So them with a pleased expression fro patterns on his shi+rt left quite an i frohent over elcoer shi+n?”
”I just ca company”
”I caood that I caht up a pleasant topic
”I heard that you're busy raising that rookie Song Inho? Rumors have spread that he's quite the actor”
”It's only the start”
The Team 2 Leader's smile thickened
”If this movie's a success, he should ns onto Director Seo's project, I should ask Director Seo to create a good supporting role for Song Inho He won't feel as pressured if he works on the saood too”
Maybe it was because Seo Jijoon was on the line, but the general er's attitude was very friendly His voice dripped with sweet honey Noticing the Teaer took another step Right on a landha on Cat Guardian Ghost What do you think?”
”… I think I'll have to discuss it with Jijoon”
The Teahed a little late Unlike before, his eyes were no longer s theh the door was closed, they could hear loud noises co froood”
The generalaround the table got up and greeted the general er There were the CEO of AA Studio, a subcontract production cohwe and Writer Jo Eunhye As well as Seo Jijoon and Chief Lee Bongjoon
The AA Studio CEO hurried careeted them but was surprised when he saw the Teaht that only the general ether?”
”If we knew that you were co, ould have prepared you a seat…”
”We-we'll leave”
A few AA Studio employees hastily stood up from their seats
”Uh, teajoon was evenhis fork in the air
However, the Teaaze was fixated on one person His s the room as he only looked at that person It was the sa he was seeing things
People tried to start a conversation, but the Teanored the his mouth with a napkin next to Seo Jijoon
”hello, Tea here?”
The Teaed to dial back his voice
Jung Sunwoo calhwan and Chief Lee Bongjoon gulped at the sa away froer and the others approached with puzzled expressions
An AA Studio employee cautiously joined in,
”We were in theUh, Tea, do you happen to have other appointo, we can hurry up…”
”No, I don't have any other appoint Sunwoo shook his head Hearing their exchange, a thick vein on the Team 2 Leader's forehead squir made a calm face, he said,
”Let's talk outside”
The Team 2 Leader's hurried steps stopped They were in front of the washroom a bit away froo in as he turned his blood-red gaze His angry voice, which he suppressed in front of others, finally exploded
”What are you doing!”
”I'ed nonchalantly
”Why are you at Jijoon'slost his patience, the Teahwan and Chief Lee Bongjoon, who had been quickly following after theh they were checking for watching eyes
”You said you wanted to talk”
Clicking his tongue, Jung Sunwoo pried the Team 2 Leader's hands off hi”
”What? Then who-!”
”He ca her hands with a paper towel, Son Chaeyoung walked over froaped like soht in his throat It orse than when he discovered Jung Sunwoo next to Seo Jijoon If he had been taken aback and furious before, he was now in doubt Hisreality
He si someone who shouldn't be here
Then he blankly asked,
”Chaeyoung, why are you here?”
Son Chaeyoung said,
”Then go tell the will do another project”
She clinked her glass of juice witha project and actually choosing one is different I don't do projects I don't like”
”Even though you said you weren't going to do any, you still looked through a lot of projects Did any of the, Son Chaeyoung's eyes turned into crescent hwe?”
”I do”
There were a few famous directors in broadcast cohwe at UBS ell-known for his beautiful cineraphy He shot a 20-partabilities
”I like Director Seo's directing He's preparing his new project right now I saw the proposal, and it was quite good”
I probably paid careful attention to it if it was Director sobunghwe's new project
But I had no recollection of seeing it
”The writer was thinking of Yoon Jungah as the female lead”
Ah, was that why they didn't hand out the proposals?
”The Tea that I would do it, and brought it over What about you?”
Son Chaeyoung leisurely propped her chin up and set me that?”
-Ah… If only you had contacted us a bit earlier
Director sobunghwe's voice on the other side of the call sighed with regret
I quickly churned ah as their female lead because some time had passed since the Teahwe's proposal to Son Chaeyoung
If they had already cast her, then I would have looked for a different project
Probably Most likely
However, the situation turned in a different direction
-We're about to lose the ti our leads went belly-up
I quickly acted The one as producing the project was AA Studio, a subcontract production co their address, and it was a con
It was incomparably inferior to Well-Made Production and SBE Film, which I had visited quite often recently The inside was evenproduction company at the time
Stacks of paper, cru{1} boere scattered here and there The eainst their desks It was so poor that I had to double-take and check the sign before entering
A lanky man walked over The pink neck pillow resembled a lizard coiled around his neck
”What is the reason for your visit?”
”I wanted to discuss casting”
”Who?”
”Ms Son Chaeyoung”
He stopped mid-yawn and stared at my face Then he stiffened
The e out their graves In a blink of an eye, a table was cleared, and they brought over freshly brewed coffee in a norht over their project proposal I read the synopsis and list of characters before raising my head
Across from me sat the lizard, I nored the gazes fixed onfor Director sobunghwe flopped”
”Ah, that”
The CEO glanced at raves We had already ah, but Team Leader Lee fro liked Director Seo's directing and wished to see the proposal”
His voice was uilt and frustration
”Then Ms Son Chaeyoung replied, saying that she wasn't ready to do it, but UBS suggested ait a little That they would like Ms Son Chaeyoung to do it over Ms Yoon Jungah To be honest, as a co”
The CEO ruffled his hair, al it out
I could understand the broadcast and production coah was a solo fe outshi+ned her If they also added licensing it to China, the scales tipped towards Son Chaeyoung
”Why Ms Son Chaeyoung took a long break Since it was about time for her to return and we didn't hear of any other projects she was interested, we futilely decided to wait a little longer However, Ms Yoon Jungah got wind of it”
”Ah”
”We got rejected Though it was understandable”
It was normal for a production co to say if they were caught stalling after a verbal agreement with one actor for another one Celebrities were people who lived and died with their pride
”The male lead ere in talks as in the saah, so ere rejected by both of them We hastily tried to cast new people, but UBS put the project on hold There is a project from another production coht hand over our tiht”
The CEO looked at me with desperate eyes as he spoke
I could easily tell what he wanted to hear, so I decided not to waste any more time and said,
”It's not like you've coht?”
”Yes, not yet But it's only a ht even lose it today”
”Even if Ms Son Chaeyoung is interested in this project?”
The clouds over the CEO's face were co at athered around h they saw an opportunity to revive this alether, they discussed,
”If we tell the, then I think we'll be able to persuade UBS”
”Tell UBS that we'll set up a ht away so that we can stall for ti to broadcasts, so he o We need to show that we're ready right away…”
”Then what if we bring up a s? That we are in talks with someone If we stall for time, we can just say that talks broke down and cast soht now? It's not a supporting role but the lead Do you have an actor you're close with?”
I watched the noisily discussing people before saying,
”If a h someone had pressed the 'mute' button, sound completely stopped Someone's head bounced up and down A few e their expressions, it seemed I didn't have to wait for their answer
I spoke with a bright s”
The Tea and me
With the most dazed expression I've seen in years, he asked,
”Chaeyoung, why are you here?”
