NOVEL NEXT chapter 187
[187] Legend of the Legend (1)
Ahead of the audience preview of 「The Dignity of a King」,
Leading news related to Solar concert hit the Korean entertainment industry.
In fact, even if they pick up garbage on the street, it will be on the news.
《Donations delivered in the names of CEOs Solar and Jeong Su-ho, 60% of the proceeds from UK solo concerts…》
While netizens rave about the huge amount of good deeds.
World stars, including Beyonce, mentioned good deeds on social media.
People Productions production office.
Director Ji Young-ho exclaimed at the daily news of Solar.
“Wow, 60% of the proceeds would be almost the entire amount excluding production costs.”
“Yes. Maybe.”
Even so, Solar keeps events to a minimum.
Rumors that she grew up eating her dreams more than money were true.
“Chief, this is the news that CEO Jung has arrived.”
“Oh, I have to go out to meet you.”
A hidden contributor to the production of King’s Dignity.
He is the representative of an actor’s agency, not a production company or an investment company.
Someone who had virtually nothing to do with the movie helped me tremendously.
“Hello.”
Representative Jung Soo-ho. Just light.
He opened the door and entered slowly.
“Chief, how are you?”
“Sure! Hanbok stage, I saw it on the Tvm Youtube channel.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes. I respect you from the bottom of my heart.”
“What, respect…”
Not acting, but real humility.
As the head of a film production company, I could see that it was not acting.
‘This is Goat…’
The Greatest Of All Time.
A girl group producer who is hard to come back to the Korean entertainment industry.
It was an icon of gukppong who did not care about the Chinese and Japanese markets.
“I saw the good news.”
“Ah, that’s right. It’s not something I did, it’s embarrassing.”
“What are you saying!”
Didn’t Solar do everything from the planning of her concert to the composition of her stage by herself?
It means that the Solar members performed, not themselves.
Could this kind of humility have put President Chung at the top?
‘Because I’m CEO Jeong Soo-ho…’
Maybe even if someone else is in the same position as him.
He raised Solar in the same way, even when he sits in the representative seat.
‘… It will definitely be different.’
In the first place, the premise of raising a great artist named Solar was wrong.
“Anyway.”
He brought out the main topic as if he was embarrassed.
“Chief, isn’t tomorrow the audience preview?”
“Oh, yes! That’s right!”
“I’d like to add some participating entertainers.”
“Which…?”
“I’ve already contacted you. Would you like to check?”
“Ah yes.”
Soon, CEO Jeong handed over a piece of paper.
I checked the celebrity list written on the paper.
‘It’s crazy.’
Why, it’s not even an awards ceremony, so they call it this much.
Solar Complete, Luna, Eclipse, Lee Soo-yeon, and Jin Se-eun.
High End, Blue Scholz Yeoreum, Song Na-yeon, and Ueda Yui.
“… Yoo Seol?”
“I’m a new singer-songwriter. I’m in the same agency as Song Na-yeon.”
“Ah yes.”
Isn’t she a very unknown singer?
“It’ll be up soon. I’m sure.”
“…”
Confident CEO Jung Soo-ho said.
I want to buy stock in that company.
“I have already turned all contact.”
“Thank you.”
You did a good job casting three members of Solar.
To think that he would do his best to promote the movie like this.
“Oh, there will be guests from England.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. They said he was on a plane, but he said the preview would come tomorrow.”
“Anyone…?”
“That’s because Director Louie directed our stage.”
“Aha, solo concert.”
“Yes, that is correct.”
After lightly concluding the meeting, he stood up from his seat.
As cool as he came in, he turned around with a cool step.
“… That’s cool.”
“Iknow, right.”
Together with his subordinates, he could not get out of the afterglow for a while.
“Life is like Jeong Soo-ho.”
“I couldn’t bring myself to eat because he looked too busy.”
“It can’t be helped.”
Soon, his subordinates were searching for someone on their smartphones.
Stage manager Louie spreads airport photos on social media.
And, a middle-aged man with a hat pressed down next to him.
“You’re not coming alone?”
“Yes. Who is it?”
“…”
If you see bodyguards following you, is it a celebrity?
“It must be one of CEO Jeong Soo-ho’s connections.”
“Sure.”
* * *
I thought you would ask me to eat together.
Should I just eat alone at home?
“… I must go home.”
Where are the Solar members supposed to be by now?
It’s been a long time since I took a break after my solo concert.
Eunseo is at her grandmother’s house, Juhee is at the gym, and Somi is at school.
Diana said she was working on music with Emma.
Trururu—
The other one called Yeji.
-Hello? CEO!
“Yes. Yeji, where are you?”
-I’m at the dorm!
“Are you alone?”
-Yeah. I’m single!
“…”
Yeji has become a movie star.
You know the famous lines from other movies.
“Let’s eat together at home.”
-Oh, then I’ll be cooking.
“Why…?”
-Look forward to it! Lol.
“Ah.”
Pop.
“Oh, no. Don’t hang up. No cooking. Calm down. Yeji… Hey?”
Hung up It was a big deal.
How can I eat it all by myself?
Once I made an appointment, I will go.
“… Should I go?”
I immediately got behind the wheel and drove to my apartment.
Solar’s quarters downstairs.
I was the only man in the company who knew the password.
‘… My birthday.’
Beep, beep beep—
The password that Yeji wanted and set.
Of course, she was the only one in her dorm.
“Lea Kim.”
“CEO! You came too soon.”
“Take it slow.”
“Oh, well.”
She is helpless in her apron.
Maybe solar fans will never know.
‘… The way she cooks is also pretty.’
Tomorrow is the day of the premiere of 「The Dignity of Kings」.
It was good to have the wisdom to cook for me in this situation.
“Yes.”
“Yeah.”
“What’s your dream?”
“Suddenly?”
“Just.”
Yeji glanced back and focused on cooking again.
“My dream has already come true.”
“Yes?”
Everyone I met recently was busy asking about my dream.
It’s embarrassing to say that your goal is to earn money and retire.
“My dream is the same as the CEO’s.”
“You too?”
“Yes. At some point, the CEO’s dream became mine. Of course now…”
“Do you also dream of being a building owner in Gangnam?”
“?”
Aha, no.
“It’s my dream to always be by your side.”
“So what if I retire?”
“Yeah?”
Only then did Yeji turn around and meet her eyes.
“Are you serious?”
“…”
All idols grow up feeding on the love of their fans.
In other words, he had an obligation to repay the fans’ love.
Dalgrak-
Yeji didn’t say anything for a while.
The two of us look at each other and eat rice,
Watch the dishes I do,
She opened her mouth just before leaving the inn.
“My last stage, will the CEO make it for you?”
“Yes…?”
“On the day the CEO retires, I will be there too.”
“…”
Yeji has always been unchanged since her debut.
Always believed in me and respected my choices.
So thank you
I approached Yeji without putting on my shoes.
Soon, she opened her arms and tried to hug me.
“Representative, I am.”
Just-
He presented a chestnut stick to Yeji’s forehead.
“Quang.”
An artist, not an idol.
That was the reason I used her spirit and went abroad.
She wants to be a world class singer, not a girl group.
“There will be no final stage.”
“It hurts.”
Pain is half the word.
“Goes.”
* * *
The next day, at the premiere of 「The Dignity of a King」.
She has been busy since morning with her solar members.
It was only natural that she had to stand on stage with three people today.
“Jiyu, come straight from the shop to the theater.”
-Yes. Okay.
I deliberately skipped the press preview and held an audience preview.
Was he confident even after receiving honest evaluations from real audiences?
She checked out the entire list of celebrities to visit today.
“It’s a lot, really.”
She is the personal network that Sky Entertainment has built up over the years.
She’s done contacting her, so more might come.
She arrived at the theater with Team Leader Gu and checked the scene.
“Representative, Director Louie says he’s almost arrived.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes. I don’t stand in the photo zone and I think you’ll come quietly during the stage greeting.”
“…”
It’s a pity, but I don’t have time to stand in the photo zone.
I still watch movies on time.
“You will come to the movies as soon as you come to Korea.”
“Yes. They say guests are coming too.”
“Who are you?”
“I’m not sure about that either. Shall I ask?”
“No. It’s fine.”
Anyway, the celebrity who will shine today was a truck.
Finally, reporters set up cameras in front of the photo line.
“Here comes the first star.”
“…”
Celebrity affiliated with Sky Enter.
Actors Lee Soo-yeon and Jin Se-eun.
Since last year, the combination has won awards at various film festivals.
A reporter asked them while taking pictures.
“Soo-yeon and Sae-eun! I heard you two are close like sisters?”
“Me, are we?”
“Isn’t it?”
“… Yes.”
“Also!”
Click, click—
It’s a comedy from a distance, but a tragedy from up close.
The two forcibly hugged or held hands.
After getting to know each other, there is no gag.
“A friendly pose please!”
“Continue…?”
“Yeah!”
Reporter, I mean stop.
“This is how the two actresses become close again.”
“Iknow, right.”
Subsequently, numerous celebrities stood in front of the photo zone.
Among them, the other members of Solar who do not appear in this movie.
In Diana and Somi’s turn, the flash went off like crazy.
“Diana! Did you participate in the OST for this movie?”
“Ah, a little bit! Just a little bit of one song…”
“Yeah! The music for this movie was produced by Hana Do!”
“No, just a little bit.”
“Yes! A little bit of everything, I look forward to it!”
“…”
I’m going to curse Diana.
What do you mean by a little bit of everything?
Is it like serving 2 people or serving 3 people?
“So-mi! Doesn’t she still think she wants to act?”
“Yes? Oh, I did.”
“Keuh, the spirit of Solar’s maknae who challenges acting! I look forward to it!”
“No, not quite like that.”
“Is the genre you want to do modern?”
“Um, whatever the CEO tells me…”
“Ohh, you’re confident enough to digest any genre!”
“…”
Reporter Azoshi, please don’t answer me.
“Old manager.”
“Yeah?”
“Take the members and go in.”
“All right.”
Slowly, the audience entered the cinema.
The movie will start right after the stage greeting.
After a while,
Yeji, Eunseo, and Joohee are on stage.
Three members of Solar went up on the stage at the movie premiere.
Personally, I was more impressed when I started as an actor manager.
They spotted me and waved at me.
Soon, I became conscious of the cameras pouring down on me.
‘Please don’t say hello.’
Now I want to stop seeing my articles on the Internet.
“Look at the CEO’s popularity.”
“That’s it.”
Somi and Diana, who sat next to me, giggled.
Why do you bother to sit next to me with me in between?
“Please wave to the fans behind you too.”
“Shinseumeu, please do it.”
“Yes.”
As Somi said, I glanced back at the seats where the audience was seated.
‘A lot of people have come.’
They were the ones who got tickets for the premiere through great luck.
Or, did you pay an exorbitant cost and buy a scalping ticket?
‘Hmm, that person…’
A woman with her head down wearing sunglasses and a hat.
Did she cover her face on purpose?
I think I saw her somewhere.
-Now, from now on, director Kim Chan-soo’s impressions will be given.
After listening to the MC, I immediately sat down.
* * *
A suspicious woman was sitting in the audience.
An actress who never takes off her sunglasses even in this dark theater.
She is the main character of “First Apocalypse”, Which has now exceeded 3 million views.
Gye Hee-yeon stroked her chest.
“Whoa, we made eye contact.”
“Ah.”
The manager sitting next to him flinched nervously.
“Because I can’t tell you.”
“Speak quietly.”
“Cadet.”
Heeyeon wanted to see her competition before anyone else.
Precisely, she wanted to be relieved to see the ruined work.
A film in which three girl group members were put into one team.
It was more exciting to be successful.
In particular, Yang Joo-hee’s first work was action.
‘I’m just kidding.’
There was a lot of buzz in the media.
A showdown between the two films released a week apart.
Is it the First Apocalypse or the Dignity of a King?
‘Do you compare our films with historical dramas?’
How much money did you pour into a blockbuster?
How much did you spend on publicity?
Only because of Solar’s fame.
There are several members of national girl groups.
What does a girl group have to do with the success of a movie?
To be honest, I thought First Love and Royland chose the works well.
I had a good eye for representation, so I put it in a good work, and it must have been a box office hit with popularity.
If it’s a girl group, it’s like a girl group.
Fuck this piece.
Please, I hope you don’t even come close to the acting stage in the future.
“The movie begins.”
“Shhh.”
I held my breath and watched the King’s Dignity opening.
Chow-
I was surprised.
From the start, Yang Joo-hee appeared with blood on his face.
What about the scene where intruders are eliminated with overwhelming force?
‘…Do you play?’
I was able to know about action through blockbusters.
He shot all the scenes himself without using a double.
Next, Yeji and Eunseo’s emotional acting.
I opened my eyes wide and evaluated the acting of the two people.
‘…Do you play?’
Hold on a minute.
There was no time to feel bored while watching the movie.
The acting of the actors and the directing of the director created synergy.
The sadness, anger, and frustration of the actors.
All emotions added to the sense of immersion.
Although he himself had controversy over his acting skills when he tried acting in historical dramas.
A reversal given in a scene transition.
And, an unexpected death.
‘Lord, he’s dead!’
The middle war escort is dead.
The trembling of the fingers, the afterglow of emotions conveyed in the deep eyes.
Yeji expressed extreme sadness without shedding tears.
Rather, the audience shed tears again.
Heeyeon wiped away her tears and looked at the seat next to her.
“Big.”
The manager guy next to me was behaving badly.
“Hey, are you crying? Do you want to search?”
“Turn it off.”
The movie is funny, so it’s crazy.
This could be really dangerous.
Movies aren’t necessarily fun.
Unlike dramas, you pay once and it’s over.
‘The effect of publicity cannot be ignored.’
How many public TV entertainment programs did you go through and suffer from?
Thanks to that, the level of publicity for post-apocalypse is at its peak.
The movie is over,
Heeyeon was comforted by the fact that it was opened first.
It started before King’s Dignity and spent money on publicity.
‘We will win unconditionally in publicity.’
The audience applauded the actors as they stepped onto the stage.
Endless applause followed for a very long time.
By the time the audience stood up one by one or two.
“Bee, Beatles.”
The eyes of the audience gathered in one place at someone’s word.
Foreigners standing resolutely next to CEO Chung.
Legend watched the premiere with director Louie.
“The Beatles Fall!!!”
“Wow.”
The audience stopped and took pictures with their smartphones.
Crazy, Beatles members promoting it?
This is just that Jung Soo-ho is great.
I heard that 「The Dignity of Kings」 Was distributed to LA and Paris as well.
They are aiming for the overseas market with historical drama films.
From the beginning, it was an unmatched competition.
‘… How to beat the Beatles.’
At least I had confidence in movie promotion.
Paul’s appearance shattered her confidence.
