chapter 143
So prepared.
Something that would suit Sujin Kim as her next work.
“Then, how about a historical drama as your next work?”
“A historical drama?”
“okay. It’s not an authentic historical drama. what to say It’s a fusion historical drama in a somewhat equilibrium world. In any case, the way you speak and behave is the same as in historical dramas.”
The next work I thought of Kim Soo-jin was the work Hana Kim was preparing.
Yesterday, I received a call from Hana Kim that she had finished researching materials and started writing.
Hana Kim first made a request to me while saying that she had started writing.
About Kim Soo-jin.
“CEO. Would it be possible to hire actor Kim Su-jin from our company for the work I am writing now?”
“It’s Sujin. Can you tell me why?”
“I have a main character in mind. I think that suits actor Kim Soo-jin.”
“Then, I will ask actor Kim Soo-jin and contact you.”
Hana Kim said she felt it while completing Chasing to the End.
If the directing and the actors are excellent, they can show more than just the picture in their head.
Yuna, Han Ji-woo, and Kang Jun-hyung.
In a way, these three people could be said to be at the peak of their acting skills.
The acting that goes beyond the script shown by those three people was the biggest secret to the success of Chasing the End.
That’s why Hana Kim said that she desperately learned how important an actor is.
“I felt desperately this time that actors are really important. So I think it would be great if actress Kim Soo-jin could be with us.”
I also agreed with the last words of Hana Kim as an artist.
Above all, it was said that writer Cha Young-joo, who was helping with the writing, recommended it first.
Having worked together, I know more about actor Kim Soo-jin than anyone else.
He said that perhaps if a puzzle named Kim Su-jin were included in the work Hana Kim was planning, the best results would come out.
“I think it’s okay if you’re in your current state, having grown a lot through the two works.”
Kim Soo-jin’s acting, which at first was only hindered by excessive acting in the theater.
As time passed and the more works were repeated, it calmly established itself and achieved explosive growth.
To the extent that she showed the best chemistry with Lee Joo-yeon in <The Daughter-in-law of a Conglomerate Family>.
First of all, it was necessary to shake the mind of the actor himself.
While showing the most attractive bait first.
“The script hasn’t come out yet. Sujin is a writer you know. Writer Hana Kim.”
“ah.”
“In addition, writer Cha Young-joo, whom you know, is helping with the writing.”
“really?”
It was Kim Soo-jin, who was wide-eyed at my words.
Writer Cha Yeong-joo of <Daughter-in-law of a Conglomerate Family>, writer Kim Ha-na of <Chasing to the End>.
This wasn’t a problem with the script, it was to the point where I thought it was right to say that I did it unconditionally just by looking at the name.
“What do you think, Sujin?”
“Can I do well in historical dramas?”
It seemed that the fact that it was a historical drama rather than a modern drama was burdensome.
“Since you’re writing the script for the first episode. Think about it. If you feel it doesn’t suit you, then it’s okay to refuse.”
“How do you feel when the representative sees it?”
“I think it would suit you well.”
As soon as my answer came out, Sujin Kim nodded.
“Then, I will definitely give it a try.”
“okay. There is enough time, so let’s try it with the thought of preparing for a long time.”
I think Kim Soo-jin’s rest period will be a little longer.
no.
To be precise, it should be seen as a step back for two steps forward.
As an actor, it was like taking on a challenge in a new genre.
*
The filming of Director Park Chan-woong’s <The Jeonse> has begun.
To be precise, the first filming started the day before yesterday, and today was Minjunie’s first filming day.
It’s probably the first time Min-jun is officially standing in front of the camera, so I went to the set.
More precisely, with Yuna, Minjun’s acting teacher.
Min-Jun, who had a slightly nervous expression while reviewing the script in the car.
“sister! No Master!”
When he saw Yuna, whose title had been upgraded to Master before he knew it, he was relieved.
“I knew it would be like this. Judging by the look on your face, Minjun, you forgot all my teachings again!”
Yuna gave a 1:1 special lecture on how to start filming in the car for a while.
Me and Min-Jun’s mother, Kim Mi-Ryeong, hid out of the car for a while so that the lecture could be conducted efficiently.
Mi-ryeong Kim bows to me as soon as she gets out of the car.
“Thank you so much for coming today, CEO. I was worried because Minjun seemed to be nervous.”
“no. It’s my job to take good care of my actors. If you encounter any difficulties during filming, feel free to contact me at any time.”
Although Min-Jun had talent, he was still a child.
Situations that often occur during filming could come as difficulties for Minjun.
Of course, there is no need to worry too much because Lee Joo-yeon is always with me.
However, you should do your best to prepare for emergencies.
“thank you. Thank you so much. CEO.”
In response to my request to contact me at any time if there is a problem, Kim Mi-ryeong’s touching message of thanks followed.
As if the 1:1 special lecture was over, Min-jun with a solemn expression and Yuna got out of the car with the face of a master who passed on the secret.
“Minjun! If you do as I say, you can do well. Understand?”
“yes! sister. No, Master!”
Rather than playing the role of Kyung-jun, who has to act today, it seems that he gave a lecture on how to act in front of the camera for the first time.
“What did this master say?”
“You said that all acting can be expressed with chicken!”
“okay! Don’t forget this master’s words!”
“yes!”
It’s not a place for brainwashing education.
Lee Joo-yeon, who had the same thoughts as me, was looking at me with an absurd expression.
It was Lee Joo-yeon who was worried about Min-jun even before I arrived.
Because I know very well how lost young child actors can be on their first set.
The face of Min-jun, whom he actually met, was full of tension, so how worried Lee Joo-yeon must have been.
Min-Jun, who was like that, appeared with a spleen but confident expression, so it was inevitable that such an expression would come out.
“As long as you remember that, there will be no problems with today’s shoot.”
“yes!”
And what made Lee Joo-yeon’s most absurd expression was Yuna’s chicken acting theory.
but.
To express acting as chicken instead of being immersed in the character in the scenario.
Even the expression was so good that even Lee Joo-yeon herself was surprised, so it must be absurd.
“ruler! Go and sprinkle everything!”
“yes! I’ll sprinkle everything and come back!”
Looking at the combination of Yuna and Minjun, I suddenly thought of this.
is that okay?
Called.
Apart from that, director Park Chan-woong’s cry and the filming that started went smoothly.
No, director Park Chan-woong cut it with a satisfied expression! To the extent that I could hear the dejected Lee Joo-yeon say, “What the hell is chicken?” every time she shouts.
again! It was a smooth start of filming with almost no cries from the audience.
“how is it?”
Yuna, who approached me before I knew it, asked while looking at the filming site.
“How are you?”
“yes. I even handed down my trumpet weapon to Minjun for the chief. I was trying to keep it hidden.”
hmm.
No one would understand that other than Minjun?
These words filled my throat, but I swallowed them.
Anyway, as Yuna said, thanks to the ‘chicken acting theory’, Min-joon was showing acting that surprised not only director Park Chan-woong and Lee Joo-yeon, but also the filming staff.
“good job. I think this movie will be a big hit thanks to Yuna.”
“Right? In that sense, it’s a bit early on the way back today, but I’m going to have dinner. I found a restaurant called Gourmet nearby.”
I couldn’t be here the whole time filming.
I also have things waiting for me to take care of at the company.
Since I saw Min-Jun adapting smoothly to filming, I thought it would be okay to wait a little longer and then leave.
“Then, shall we go up and eat something simple on the way back?”
“yes!”
It was Yuna who smiled at my words.
After a while.
Arriving in front of the restaurant that Yuna was looking for, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“Are you Yuna?”
“why? Get off quickly, chief.”
Why?
Because the place we arrived at was a freshwater eel restaurant.
There were quite a lot of cars even though it was still early for dinner.
In addition, there was even a place where you could have a quiet meal in a room style.
“how is it? I decided to ask the boss here to sign a photo and sign after the meal and was guided to the quietest place.”
“Good job. I can prepare this.”
“no way. What is important is who prepares it. I ordered food, so I’ll be back soon.”
As if Yuna had made a reservation in advance, as soon as she finished her words, the door opened and food came in.
“uh?”
“Voila! The owner here said that you should try both seasoning and salt-grilling of eel. And they say it’s good for a man’s vitality.”
“Yeah, yes.”
“The boss looks tired these days, so I prepared it.”
The only people in this room are me and Yuna.
Two eels of different colors came in, so I had no choice but to be embarrassed.
“right. Do you know that boss has lost weight lately?”
“know.”
every know
Before going to the States, I had gained quite a bit of weight thanks to Yuna, who brought me a packed lunch every evening.
No wonder people around me said this.
“Chief Choi. Are you having a good day?”
I mean you’ve gained weight.
Anyway, my flesh, which had started to rise plumply, fell off again when I went back to America to film Arin’s <Busking>.
Yuna, who saw me coming back after returning from the US, didn’t seem to like it.
“I think it’s because the chief didn’t take care of it properly while he was back in the States.”
“that···”
“So I decided to move on.”
“what?”
Yuna continued with a sad expression at my words.
“It is necessary to take care of your health, chief. They say you have to eat well while you are young so you don’t get sick later.”
“okay. Then, I will take care of it so that Yuna and you don’t worry.”
“no!”
Why is he suddenly screaming?
While grilling the eel, Yuna’s hand flashed and pointed at me.
“Anyway, I just need to bring another spoon while preparing the meal. So when I call, come and eat and go.”
“That, yes. I’ll try to go if I’m not busy.”
I nodded my head involuntarily at Yuna’s powerful words like Chairman Choi Gun-wook.
It was Yuna who hummed as if she was satisfied with my answer and started grilling the eel again.
“I think this is ripe. Eat this first. It is said that all the nutrition of eel is concentrated in the yogi.”
What Yuna held out to me was her tail.
Its also red and white, seasoned and salted each tail.
I returned one of the two tails I received to Yuna’s plate.
“You have to eat and work hard. And from now on, let Arin come with us. I would be saddened to find out that only the two of you came.”
see.
The tail of the eel that came back and the ears that had been erected on top of my head lost their energy and went down at my words.
But this is right.
Because now was a really important time when we started preparing for Yuanna’s 2nd regular album.
“then.”
However, like Yuna, who is always full of energy, she quickly recovered her original appearance.
“Next time, Arin and her sister will eat together. Instead, let’s focus on eel today, boss. They said that if you think about something else in front of food, you will be punished.”
“okay.”
Looking at Yuna, who came back in a second despite my push.
Suddenly, I had this thought.
‘As expected, Yuna is a strong enemy.’
Called.
< Episode 140 > End
< Episode 141 >
As I headed towards Ringo’s studio, my hands were full of envelopes.
Inside the envelope were green soju bottles.
To talk about Yuanna’s 2nd regular album, and to have a drink with Ringo and Park Ki-bum after a long time.
Let’s have a drink together sooner or later, which was a greeting ceremony like having a meal later.
Now is the time to make that promise come true.
We also needed to talk about the kids’ album.
“Are you here? I’ve just finished working on it. The timing is just right.”
Ringo just came out of the studio and said.
Today, Park Ki-beom is nowhere to be seen, as if they were working separately.
“What about Kibum?”
“Kibum is probably almost finished. Yesterday, after meeting Arin and Yuna, they didn’t come out of the studio, saying that they had some inspiration.”
Shortly after those words were finished, Park Ki-bum appeared with a black beard, probably having stayed up all night working.
“Are you here? Yesterday I met the kids and finished a song, so I wanted to let the CEO hear it.”
“is it so? Shall we start by listening?”
Judging from the look in Park Ki-bum’s eyes, he couldn’t ask to hear it once he started drinking.
I went straight through the door where Park Ki-beom came out.
Traces of the night’s work are scattered here and there.
what are the traces?
An empty beverage can that used to be full of caffeine.
Park Ki-bum played a piece of music as soon as I entered.
“This song.”
There was no guide because the work had just finished.
But the melody alone was enough.
To evaluate what kind of song Ki-bum Park is playing right now.
“this. It’s similar to the first album, but a little different.”
At my words, Park Ki-beom nodded as if he knew I would notice it right away.
“you’re right. If Yuanna’s first regular album expressed the sadness of parting and the process of forgetting it.”
“The song you just listened to must be a memory of the past. The feeling of the melody.”
There was no answer from Park Ki-bum, whether it was the correct answer.
“It’s good. I don’t think I need to say anything else.”
“this. Listening to the CEO’s words, I think I can comfortably drink a cup today.”
“Rather than that, it seems to have changed a little from the original concept. Can you tell me why?”
