”It's more like she took the idea and rewrote the entire script though”
”That idea is the most important There is no final draft without the first”
I propped my chin up and stared at Director Joo Jaechan He looked like he desperately wanted to escape fro and uncomfortable situation Director Joo Jaechan forced a s his e? I don't knohat she told you, but the matter has been settled internally She caused a ruckus at the filo There's a reason why the investors want to assign the project to ”
His eyes gradually began to shi+ne with madness
”This is a project I must direct with my own hands It's true”
I knew it too
That it would becoreat work in his hands
While he couldn't keep his hands still, crossing and uncrossing his fingers, I said,
”Will there be any problems in the future?”
”Pardon? Proble She seemed very attached to the scenario It'll becooes into production Articles will also mention actors' names”
Director Joo Jaechan blinked Then, with an excited face, he jumped from his seat
”You do not need to worry about that! No one would film a movie if you could sue investment and production companies with this Who would ith a director like that?”
He glanced athts to the production co the et, they'll have to do their best to cooperate with invest”
”Not worthwill be credited as an eoes through various writers, so you can't argue that it is your work because you edited it This is hoorks in this industry”
I nodded
”That's right That is how this industry works”
Around the time our talk was about to end, an e roouest Thee approached froed ten years Thick veins filled her eyes, ing in again, teah struck by lightning when she noticed Director Joo Jaechan The person who looked like she was about to die now looked like she was ready to kill
”You rat-faces bast…!”
”What great ti with the team leader
Director Joo Jaechan nonchalantly stood up
”Then I will await your call, tea off to her, before passing her Even though this took less than a 's complexion went from deathly black to pale white She faltered like she had lost her spirit and sat down in the seat in front of her
”How much of the situation did he tell you…”
”That the , and that the director was likely to be replaced This is theproduction circukyung's head drooped
”I a it to you so confidently I was sincere when I said that I thought Mr Na I should have persuaded the investment company But the situation suddenly…”
”Of course, investment companies may have different options on the cast than you Because they also have a big say on theon doing now?”
As ifflinched She simply opened and closed her dry lips for aup She desperately pleaded,
”Team leader, I know this is a shameless request, but if you really like the scenario, could you consider Ms Lee Songha or Ms Son Chaeyoung for the female lead? Then I could try to persuade the investain If you have any conditions, I'll definitely…!”
Her teary voice daaze, worried about what my reaction would be, but now she raised her head and checked my expression The next moment, her face dropped in despair
I anity
I was the CEO of a global ement company ore a classic suit, one that those British secret service agents would wear, and worked in a luxurious office akin to that of a penthouse apartCEO Baek Hansung
”Did you bring your resignation letter?”
Ah, danation letter?”
”That's the type of face you'reat me for a while now”
”My face is always like that”
”I know that, but it seehed in a low voice before asking,
”If not a resignation letter, have you come to prepare an exclusive contract?”
”Will you even do that?”
”If you want I told you that I'llfee?”
”I want to do City Jungle”
I poured cold water onto the warive it up, but it felt like ”
”Even celebrities can express their opinion when they aren't considered rookies anymore Whether it's years of experience or fame, I believe I have passed that of a rookie Also, above all, you are soave some lip service at the end, but the mood was still chilly I felt like I would freeze to death
CEO Baek Hansung frowned
”Did I not say it so that you understand? Other celebrities can get back up if they fail once, however, your title is like a sand castle Once you fail, its strategic value collapses I had thought I gave you a great offer”
”I also think that it was a great offer since I would be walking a smooth path if I just do as the company decides If I just follow that path, reat opportunity
”So you are aware Then why?”
”I had a sietting hung up on it like an addict And if that path cuts off, you get withdraw symptole step onon different paths and stared at CEO Baek Hansung He was also staring at entle sht upswayedtheh risk of failure was a problem…
”I will increase the ic value A sand-castle-like title
In order to not get hung up on those things, I will create h my oays
”A declaration of war”
”He's the only one who's ever declared war on the CEO He'll be the only one ever”
”Even the Tea, was cut off in an instant Where does he get the courage? I think he's a sociopath or so How can a normal person with over two years of experience declare war to his CEO's face?”
I corrected the felloere chatting near my desk so that I could hear
”It wasn't to the point of declaring war”
”If you said, 'Screw you, I's my way,' then that's a declaration of war”
”Did you prepare a resignation letter? You oodbye, so wouldn't it be best if we had a farewell party ahead of tijoon, and Chief Sung Ui, their faces rought orry Like they were certain I was going to be fired soon
”Have you become tired of company life? Do you just want to act crookedly?”
”I'm not tired, rather I'st their dumbfounded faces, Kim Hyunjo rubbed his face as he asked,
”So what are you going to do now?”
The first place I went to was the outdoor fil Producer Yoo Sooyoung, who beca Filuests as part of their comeback special, so all four of them rushed over to me
Covered inus hugs for our hard work, are you running away from us because we are dirty? Were you that type of person?”
”I am Don't come over”
”I don't want to!”
The four of them stuck to me, and soon, I was covered in mud Lee Koo simply flinched his hands as he watched froht as his thick ar out his t-shi+rt and neck were covered in rinned
”Take a look since you're here Today's shoot is dirty and fun”
”Keep it dirty and fun I have things to do”
”How is a roup, who just ruy to chitchat Lee Taehee simply breathed, completely exhausted She seeest as her appearance was the aze as she asked,
”I look like the poop eo take a shower?”
”No, you look good, like microwaved chocolate ice creahtened Lee Songha glanced at hter”
”Yeah, thanks for the er seat for you,”
”A scenario? Did you coha's eyes shi+ned I nonchalantly shrugged
I orried she would pick it if I showed that I was interested in it
”For irls before you went on your out-of-city schedule and give you a new scenario I received so that you could read it during your free time Let me know if you're interested”
Like soer and celebrity
I left the set and drove to a small super rice, curry, black bean sauce,basket{1} He made an aard expression when he saw me
”How did you knoas here?”
”It's not like it'sstuff to fill your fridge with since I was cohed I stacked his basket with rice and fruits and placed it on the counter as I said,
”I brought over another scenario”
”Movie?”
”Yes I think it's best to read up to this one and decide on your next project I'll ask a nutritionist to set up a diet for you, so follow that starting to to work all day and night”
Naed when I ed woet a job? Oh, that's great nehen you were going around with nothing to do!”
After leaving Nahborhood, I dropped by my house I wiped away the mud still stuck here and there, paid particular attention to my attire, and once I had a clean appearance like a salesst the densely populated forest of buildings, I found one with a huge banner of Alive and entered
The moment SBE Film's project producer saw my face, he shook his head
”I don't have any Really”
”What?”
”Didn't you coood scenarios?”
”Not today”
Only then did he greet ht you had a condition for co I'm now more afraid of phone calls from you than debt collectors I told you I will contact you e receive a good scenario We have our relationshi+p from Alive It's a promise”
”How many tiood scenarios have dried up these days There are none!”
We entered the ht over some drinks
”But if you didn't come to see scenarios, then why…?”
”I wanted to show you so”
”You do? Show me?”
I handed the project producer an envelope He received it with a dazed face before taking the City Jungle scenario out of it After scanning the title and synopsis, his face became even more perplexed
”It's a scenario? I think I saw this before?”
”It also came to SBE?”
”Unless a production co it up with a writer and director, h our company We reject most of them for various reasons I think this was one of theood?”
”I don't remember it well, but it probably was if we rejected it”
He closed the scenario he was glancing through and asked,
”But why did you come over to a production company with a scenario… Don't tell me W&U is interested in production fil in?”
”No, I a my head
The project producer frowned like he had just heard so nonsense
