Chapter 196-197 (2/2)
I flipped through a fewit In no as this sile' title The only similarity was that both filentle tone,
”If you have short filht have restricted a short film to be a feature film, but he struck down my hope I examined every short film scenario and synopsis that came out of Director Joo Jaechan's backpack, but I couldn't find a hint of what I was looking for
”You have been preparing for this feature fil time?”
”Yes, I've worked on it for more than two years”
Two years
Then where did the scenario he worked five years on suddenly appear froe
”Is this historical drath work?”
”… Yes, it is my first”
Director Joo Jaechan said dispiritedly
”It seems you are unhappy with all of theradually been groorse This is all I have”
Did that scenario have a different writer?
That didn't seem to be the case They definitely said he won best screenplay, and he hi on for five years The invester had praised Director Joo Jaechan fro on?
Was Director Joo Jaechan lying to ht have been easier to understand the situation if I knew the production cole Where did he make the movie?
I suddenly looked next toat ed a few ,
”Are you planning on doing another project together?”
”Huh? No, no, nothing's decided If he does have a good project”
He avoided the subject Then he patted Director Joo Jaechan's shoulder,
”Don't promote that historical drama, okay? How can we let a rookie director direct a historical draet investht be able to trust the actors enough to follow through, but you know that rookie directors have a hard tilanced atthat He looked like he would be interested in a talented actor was interested even if it was a historical dra er, he seeot up after e besides historical dra those words, he went over to a table where other directors were sitting at
I drank while looking at Director Joo Jaechan Maybe it was because he was a little depressed, but he didn't give off ave off a showy ie after his debut work becaht now?
The afterparty reached its peak as oing back to Director Joo Jaechan's table s once he was completely drunk
Whether he really didn't have another work
Whether he was interested in the noir genre I evenoff while drunk, he si about it, I organizedhastily now could change the future Since, in the future, they said that Director Joo Jaechan brought the scenario toif I wanted that future to happen
I handed Director Joo Jaechanhih I decided to wait and see, s move quickly
-Have you seen the article?
”Yes, I'ha, Her next work is 'Supernatural' with Heo Kakyung}{1}
{Movie 'Supernatural' casts Heo Kakyung and Lee Songha a others}
-It seems the ones from Supernatural leaked this You want to release a correction, right?
”Yes, as quickly as possible”
-We're writing a press release Are you still considering the scenario or is it final?
”It's final We for yesterday”
At least, that hat I thought
-It see about using this to prootiations have failed And they clearly know this puts us in a difficult spot
After hanging upas well Then I refreshed the page as I waited for the correction to be made
It was a cos were still undecided, but I didn't have the tis if Director Joo Jaechan went elsewhere after seeing this article
I kept refreshi+ng the page when I received a call It was froer”
-Ah, I saw that an article confirha was released?
”Yes, it did”
-We're not the ones who released it Just in case there's a
What do you mean you didn't release it? Such a blatant lie
I clicked e As soon as I saw the top headline,cast in 'Supernatural' Formal Refusal (Official Stance)}
-This is very aard
”It's okay We released a correction”
-Pardon?
The other side because busy I also refreshed the page The correction see well as a fewafter, I heard a sigh
-It's your official stance
”I felt that it would be best clearly settle the etting mentioned in Supernatural articles, it would make it difficult for you to cast other actresses We really are thankful for your proposal, but next…”
-Tea Sunwoo
An unhappy voice suddenly cut in
”Director Cha Jaeho?”
-Yeah, it's me I have never sent love calls oractresses
Ah, adjuste adjustned the contract I was curious when the director, as too proud to allow even adlibbed lines, meant by adjustments, but it was as expected
Before I could reply, Director Cha Jaeho sarcastically said,
-It seems that Midas's Hand really didn't like ha's next project I'Sunwoo!”
The director sat on my desk His brohich were the only sharp features on his round face, twitched The director stopped calling me Lucky Charm after that day with the Team 2 Leader Instead, he looked at me like I was a headache
”Did Director Cha Jaeho swear at you?”
”He didn't…”
But he did make a ton of sarcastic reret it later That he will be waiting to see what I pick after rejecting hi”
”The CEO is?”
”He said that he was very interested in what kind of project you will bring in the future once he saw the article”
”Ah”
”I'm curious too Just what is inside your head”
City Jungle was in , and I was curious what Director Joo Jaechan was doing, if he had eaten, if he was thinking ofthese stalkerish thoughts, I suddenly saw the director's face
Hoould he react if I le to hi an assistant director and winning an award at a short film festival He was still a director who had yet to ht now, it was uncertain ould produce and invest in it If I was frank with him, I wonder if he would hithim about it
Because I knew that it would be a success Like Cat Guardian Ghost
I was confident in persuading him, but the problem was that the whereabouts of the scenario was unknown
”Anyways, you need to guard your position Make sure you're not e your office as soon as you ot down fro his tongue
”It's not just Lee Songha, you'll now havefor projects The CEO says to let you be since he trusts your incredible eye However, remember that the failure of a tea”
The e expression
”You know that the actors will falter too if you do, right?”
A few scenarios and proposals were evenly spread on top of theUiether,
”I think that this script is good, but Jijoon is showing no interest”
”Who else have they sent the script to besides Jijoon? I want to shoon”
”I think they sent one to Yoon Taekyung?”
I stared at the thick stacks of paper They were projects we had exa about Lee Songha's next project Objectively good choices with good synopsis, directors, and writers
'He thought long and hard before co to a decision, yet the project he chose completely flopped'
The re in my mind If I had heard which project I had chosen, I would have avoided that one Now, they all looked like flops I felt like I was going crazy
Good projects Good projects
I would do anything to get actors good projects
My thoughts naturally turned to City Jungle
If Director Joo Jaechan hadn't decided on actors, what if I proposed other actors besides Lee Songha for other roles? I wouldn't be able to tell until I saw the scenario That damn scenario I needed to check it…
The next moment, my vision went black My vision was filled with static
Again? A future vision again?
My vision was so dark that I couldn't see in front ofunderneath my eyelids I heard noises froarettes flowed into ret it?”
Someone beside me asked Only then didon a ceainst the wall When I lifted arette smoke
Rather than the depressed, shy Director Joo Jaechan, this was the aloof Director Joo Jaechan from the future, ore fancy suits
Was this still the afterparty?
I sao visions one after another last tie
”When you rejected my project because I hadn't retted it now”
Director Joo Jaechan asked again, urginghis words
First, I pushed aside my questions and perked my ears
”I didn't reject you because it was your debuting work It conflicted with another project”
”Ah, that The flop”
Director Joo Jaechan threw his cigarette butt into the outdoor ashtray as he chuckled
My future self said in a low voice,
”Anyways, I do regret it I had fun watching it The plot was good, and so were the characters It would have been great if Lee Songha had been the fe choice at that tiood, and so were the roles? What a relief I was a bit worried that the female lead would have little presence like Supernatural
”It's refreshi+ng that you regret it”
Director Joo Jaechan chuckled again
”If you were going to regret it, it would have been good for both of us if you had just done it when I begged”
”That's true”
”I told you that the scenario was good”
Scenario
I perkeda hint
Director Joo Jaechanthat scenario init in your hands?
