”…! Please look over here!”
The sound of caainst my ears
The static orse than normal, but I knew exactly where I was Because the faht in front of raphers in front of the wall, andaround I had just seen this sa Sunwoo?”
My gaze turned regardless of nized ency general o
What was going on?
Was I looking at the past and not the future?
Still in a state of confusion, , why are you here? Are you here to check on rookies?”
”There's that, and I thought I could discuss our actors' next projects with directors”
”Ah… Really?”
So this wasn't the past
The sa ceremony At the same location But it was a few years in the future?
”Director Joo, you know Teaht?”
”I do This feels different We had o”
The er spoke
”It was the first ti ed that I couldn't even aze”
His hair was styled, and his face had makeup on He wore a nice suit If I didn't hear that he was a director, I would have thought he was a celebrity considering how much attention he spent on his appearance
Director Joo Who was he?
I flipped through my memories until I finally recalled who he was He was the face I had just seen The unknown director I had been introduced to by the production e at his appearance, he looked like a completely different person
The fact that he saw o… Does this mean this is a year fro like that? You can look at him in his eyes all you want now You're not the saed
The generaldirector
”You made a box office hit with your debut movie, a non-mainstream with a noir feel, and won rookie director and screenplay awards You even attended Cannes People are reht now”
My ears perked
”I had spent five years working on just the scenario for this project, so my next will be a problem”
”A project that is bound to fail will fail even if you work on it for five, even ten years A film like this was born because you put your life on the line”
My heart had started to race the ed vessels had busted open and fresh blood was flowing through my veins
If he attended Cannes, then it ardless of the actors or distribution agency I should have a proper conversation with him once this vision was over
A project he had been working on for five years On top of that, if the movie released within a year from the present, then at the latest, he would probably start fil within the next couple months His scenario was likely complete by now
My body shuddered because of how much I wanted to read it
What kind of film would it be? Just as I wished I could at least hear what it was called
”Director Joo! City Jungle was a lot of fun It was too polished for your first project?”
The answer just rolled in People fro
Why was I getting information so easily this ti instead of seeing the future
Just then, my vision flipped So it wasn't a daydrea kicked out of a vision I blinked to adjust to ed vision, but my vision was still filled with static
What was this?
I was in a different place now I heard the sound of lasses Was I in a restaurant? A banquet hall? Anyways, this wasn't the present It was another vision of the future While surprised,It seeered
As soon as I opened the door, I was ht breeze It was summer Just as I took a step out,
”Did you see Tea's expression e met today? He looked like he had stepped in shi+t”
”Why wouldn't he? I bet his stomach aches whenever he sees Director Joo's face”
My steps halted
Three red faces were sn They were the production people I had seen in the previous vision as well as in the present They wore the same outfit as the previous vision So this was the afterparty of the festival
Understanding the situation, I perkedaboutSunwoo? What about hi was the first person Director Joo showed City Jungle to I heard that he even went to his hoha to be the female lead”
”Huh, then his stoht of hiha wouldn't have a flaw in her fil Sunould have continued to be well off”
A flaw in Lee Songha's filraphy? I would have continued to be well off?
”That's what I' to a decision, yet the project he chose completely flopped And the project he rejected because it was a rookie director's first film beca Midas's Hand”
”Midas's Hand It's been a long tihed ground nited inand hard before deciding flopped? What project did I end up choosing?
Wait, wait
Right now, I should focus on notfell out of favor”
”Huh?”
”There are even ru another team leader and other ru's favor and was demoted to back to chief Either way, his current predica Sunasn't CEO Baek the one who prouess he found out that he wasn't tea his just antly like he wouldn't be successful for the next ten thousand years, yet look at hi you're curious aboutnonsense”
Such sarcastic rearette shed loudly His expression momentarily flashed with shock before he wiped it fro tone,
”I mean I'm sorry that we talked about you behind your back, but it's not nonsense So it all up I heard this from someone at W&U”
”Who?”
”I can't tell you Anyways, rued
”That Tea”
I heard loud clapping I blinked er filled with static
So his award and bouquet in front of the screen
”I saw his work, and it was filmed well”
Someone struck a conversation next to me Still a little out of it, I turned my head and frowned The person who said I saw a kite with a broken string was sitting next to ed to shove his approaching face away
”Tea, are you perhaps interested in rookie director's works?”
He spoke with a smile on his face
”Why there are cases where one's debut work is a huge hit Those ait a long time to debut and put their life on the line when the opportunity arises Our co for rookie directors like that, so if you are interested…”
”I don't know”
I fixedhis words, so I felt likeat his face An unfa his award speech at the podiuanized the information in my mind
I obtained a lot of information this time
I no that the project I would choose would flop and that it would be a flaw in Lee Songha's filraphy It was also possible that h I couldn't be sure, I also knew that unpleasant rumors about me would also spread in W&U
So all this would happen in a year
My future looked great
I rubbedpoked ha's turn”
When I raiseda bouquet to another ainner Applause soon broke out I mechanically clapped before stopped Then I scanned the winner A young ed the bouquet in a stooped position
”Director Joo Jaechan We will now listen to his award speech”
Joo Jaechan Director Joo
Yeah, I had obtained so beat up about all this bad news
No matter what project I choose in the future that will flop, it hasn't occurred yet I could sie the future like how I saved Royal Fa scandal I had all the inforrab ahold of the opportunity that found its way in front ofall the winning works after the closing ceremony The location was an outdoor banquet hall, different frolasses with people, aze soon fixed in one direction
Director Joo Jaechan was sitting at a table with the unknown actors who appeared in his work The actors went around, trying to network, but Director Joo Chaeyoung sat stiffly like a turtle
I wasn't sure if he was just too shy or had no intentions ofhis appearance in the future, he didn't see a clunky backpack while downing glasses of soju He occasionally glanced at other winners ere receiving attention from production companies
Director Joo Jaechan had received a iven to works with great visual arts and expression, he would receive less attention frorand award or best work award
”Congratulations on your award”
”Thank… Oh, hello!”
Director Joo Jaechan stumbled to his feet when he saw my face
”Is there a spare seat?”
”Ah, of course Please sit anywhere!”
As soon as I sat down, I raised a bottle of soju Director Joo Jaechan quickly downed the glass of soju I poured for hilass, and he poured et to the point after buttering him up with s for a feature-length fil him up, I couldn't contain th fil if I could take a look if you did have one”
Director Joo Jaechan, who blankly looked at , nited with anticipation The rabbed , if you ask that, our rookie director here won't be able to sleep tonight from the anticipation”
He was the person who introducedHe see to slur his words He placed one of his heavy arms on my shoulder and the other on Director Joo Jaechan's shoulder before saying,
”Director Joo Don't get ahead of yourself and just show hi here is obsessed with scenarios I heard he reads scenarios to proposals no matter if they were from a pro or an amateur”
”Ahh…”
The flahtly He opened his backpack with a bashful expression He seemed to have been prepared for situations like this as he took out a neatly bounded scenario
I unconsciously gulped
”Err, this is a scenario I've been working on for a long tih that I can show it off confidently…”
Even though he said that, his hands showed no hesitation in handing me the scenario I checked the title as soon as I received it I flipped the pages and skih the plot
Then I asked Director Joo Jaechan,
”… Is this all?”
”Pardon? Yes”
”Even proposals?”
”This is the only feature-length fil”
I looked down at the scenario again
Frole, and it was a noir flick
Why was this one completely different?
