TL: e to do?!”
”Director Oh, don't act like this outside Let's go inside theroom-!”
”Are you embarrassed that rumors will spread that this is a mess? If you know that, then why do it!”
”No, that's not it Let's sit and calm down-!”
”Do you think I can calm down? How can you do this toShe was al with hostility The film production company CEO was stuck in the middle with a pale face soaked in cold sweat It see to calm the fires as best he could, but Director Joo Jaechan poured oil to the fire
”Why can't he? You signed the contract and handed over the production rights for that scenario to the filive the ht?”
”We already decided that I would be the one directing!”
”There was no clause about it in the contract though?”
”CEO! You prole is my project!”
”Of course, I would like to…!”
”If you want to get to the nitty-gritty, then it's inal writer rote the first draft! All you did was take it and embellish it a little!”
”What did you say? You rat!”
The arguht They acted like they were the victims
I pushed the bri on whether to call 112 or not The employees were so dumbstruck that they didn't have the time to concern themselves with a spectator next to the door
”Director Oh Hyunkyung This is a business h It was aon an empty table He seemed to a azes were all focused on him
”From an investor's perspective, we have decided that, unless it's a fao with a rookie director on an award at a filood since he's also the original writer There have been cases where a director's debuting file hit and people cause a fuss about how he's a monster rookie”
”Director!”
”What's important is that the film is a success How about we settle this aphone over to hi credited as an e's face turned red and pale at the man's words The fil to him, but he was steadfast with his decision Director Oh Hyunkyung tried her best to persuade him and finally said with a desperate face,
”I have currentlySunwoo to cast theSunwoo? Is he interested in the scenario?”
My naht up Their reactions were immediate Director Joo Jaechan's eyes ide open, and the CEO seemed to be in a sticky situation Finally, the man in the suit, who seemed to be part of the investors, rushed in like a hyena that found a piece of ressed? Does it see for the male lead? Seo Jijoon? I Inho?”
”Mr Nam Joyoon”
”Who?”
”He became famous with Alive Don't you know him? He received praise as a scene stealer”
Thefor Na
”What the hell? Are you planning on fil to invest billions of won in a project with an unknown director and a supporting-role-level, washed-up rookie? There needs to be so you had so skills”
The man harshly ridiculed
”Do you think theas you have Jung Sunwoo pro you?”
”He's not any actor He's someone I decided after careful deliberation I saw all the independent file fits ith the !”
”You're so frustrating If that was enough, then everyone would pick up theater actors fro tons of h CEO, if our director-change proposal doesn't get settled, then we're going to withdraw our investments and leave You can look for other investors Nam Joyoon… Now really”
Just then, Director Joo Jaechan joined in
”ISunwoo at the short film festival afterparty He seemed particularly interested in my projects I even received his business card He said that he really enjoyed ood project”
”Really?”
Director Joo Jaechan glanced at Director Oh Hyunkyung before boasting,
”I'll try talking to him this time”
The film production company, Forest's CEO, peeked into his office as he wet his dry lips He saw the back of ahis dark appearance, he looked like loan shark co to collect money
The huddled employees pushed the CEO's back
”Go in”
”Don't hurry hts yet”
”I think the ice in the coffee cohts”
After realizing this, the CEO placed the two s down and handed it over
”They're both ain”
”They look fine for now”
”It's a flood, how is it fine? Quickly, no, slowly gothe eh
”Just as I thought I could take a breather after sending the directors and investor off…”
”He probably caht?”
”Did he like the scenario? I heard he's picky when choosing projects”
”It's not like it's for other top stars It's for Nam Joyoon Since he received a htly known as a supporting actor, this opportunity probably appealed to hiht now?”
The eathered on the CEO, but he was busy shaking his leg and wiping his sith a handkerchief He looked like he was about to have a
”We need to decline Is there anything else we can do?”
”It's not like this is a joke What if our relationshi+p with hiht lose our investments? To be honest, the reactions of other investors will probably be the sa We were si because of how confident she was”
”What if we say that we are in talks with other actors?”
”If we get caught, ill be cursed to hell Why don't we bla a fuss about how they didn't like the actor Wouldn't it be better to whine about how h situation we're in?”
The CEO, as sluo with that Producer Lee, you go and talk to hiht for an influential man like you to talk to him, CEO”
In the end, the CEO held tly uest, Jung Sunho see so heart squeeze His guest seenity
”hello, CEO”
”Ah! Yes, youto quickly find so eyes as he accepted the coffee The CEO squeezed into his chair and glanced at the ht Since he was supposedly twenty-eight on his profile, he was young in reality as well
To be a teae He probably didn't have to brown-nose anyone with all those talented actors he had under hiot to the point
”But why did you contact…”
”It's because of the City Jungle scenario”
”Why didn't you contact the director first…”
”I didn't knohich director to call out of the two”
The CEO flinched in surprise
”Pardon?”
”I heard that the production situation is chaotic right now If that's not the case, then we can immediately talk about cast…”
”No, it is chaotic We aren't in a situation where we can begin casting yet”
The CEO did his best to beat around the bushes now that he saw his opportunity Jung Sunwoo listened while reacting back The CEO initially thought that there would be an arrogant side to Jung Sunwoo since he was on the path of success at such a young age, but he was unexpectantly very respectful The CEO's nervousness quickly dissipated
At so on
”So I'm in a pinch When I think of loyalty, obviously we should ith Director Oh Hyunkyung Director Oh worked so hard trying to create this”
”Really?”
”I heard that she even took out a loan to pay a sizable ahts to the scenario However, the director rote the first draft seemed to have somehow talked to the investe in directors… It really was a bolt out of the blue”
”Director Joo Jaechan persuaded the investment company?”
”That felloent around to different production and invest an award at the film festival, but his synopsis was rejected He was rejected by the invest with, and it seele scenario over there He decided to force his way in after finding out that the rights were signed over to the film production company”
”Then which investhtly asked
”The investment firm, Ant Capital We are in discussion for a 5-billion-won investet theh But that doesn't mean we can just readily switch out the director Once we start to get swayed, we'll probably be swayed by the invest, the CEO suddenly came to his senses and added,
”Until this is settled, there is going to be a stop on casting Sorry…”
”CEO”
Jung Sunas lost in his thoughts, asked in a courteous voice,
”Theirs is so!”
I was quickly flipping through the last half of the scenario when an employee quickly approached ain”
”Director?”
”Yes, I asked if he had an appointment, and he said that he'll wait until you had free ti had coain She had called me a few times, but I hadI ondering if er and had coain, but the name that came out of the employee's mouth was different
”He said he was Director Joo Jaechan”
”You told ood project”
Director Joo Jaechan said in the exact sao Their expressions had a similar side to them as well Especially their passion-filled eyes
His mood seemed different every time I saw him He looked well-mannered at the afterparty And he seeued with Director Oh Hyunkyung His gaze noas very similar to his future self
”I did say that”
”This scenario I believe you've received it from other channels”
He took out a scenario from his backpack Or it was besides the empty director field
It was a scenario I was familiar with
”Yes, I read it”
”This is a project I had held onto for a long time since I was a student I had certain circuhts to be handed over for a while That hy I couldn't bring it up when you asked if I had any other projects Now the situation has changed”
His heated voice was filled with excite this fil?”
”She will be taken off the project and will have her name under 'Script E I heard that youI wanted to say about casting”
His eyes darted quickly as he examined my reaction before he added,
”To be honest, back when I was an aspiring director, this scenario was pretty ood price for it either That is why I couldn't say that it was a scenario I wrote and coretted htful owner I will put es as I listened There was no need to look at it There was not a single character
”The scenario is the edited version?”
”Pardon?”
”It's not the first draft you wrote”
Director Joo Jaechan replied nonchalantly,
”They are pretty much the same”
”I don't think so I asked the film production company and received a copy The first draft with no title I'ht now”
I recalled the scenario I was halfway done reading as I said,
”They are completely different projects”
”They are completely different projects”
