A man on the phone with a dissatisfied expression inside the editing room.

A dry man’s voice could be heard over the receiver he was holding.

– But we can’t create what we don’t have, can we? We are not such radical people.

“No, didn’t you invest quite a bit there, too? Rather, it blew up a vaguely vague supporting actor, and over there, it turned into a phone call with a cameo appearance.”

The man’s voice over the receiver became cold at the sound of the subsequent whining.

– ···hey. Seungkwan Kim PD. So you don’t have to be good at directing in the first place. What does that mean for those who made the investment? I thought we were funny. Do you look so naive because you don’t want to be able to do even the trivial job of filming your drama?

Producer Kim Seung-kwan, who had complained in a frustrated heart, was awakened by the man’s words.

Director Kim Seung-kwan, director of MBS “Baldur”, recalled the impact on the entire political and business world of Korea by those who did not even know who they were holding hands with and the terrifying rumors they had heard.

“Oh, no, that’s not it. CEO. I think I went crazy for a while because I was so frustrated.”

– People say. You only regret the past when you lose something. How good is it to do well in advance? Be careful not to regret it.

“···Yes, sorry.”

Kim Seung-kwan silently replied that he knew with a distorted expression.

– In any case, this case is difficult to handle because the person who is the representative of the company, Kim Joo-seong, is holding it tight, so know that and throw away your regrets. …so, Jiji will make a good drama in the first place.

drop-.

“···under.”

PD Kim, who received a unilateral notification while listening to humiliating remarks and was unable to take his phone off his ear, was frozen in place and sighed.

Meanwhile, the man who was swearing at PD Kim Seung-kwan roughly put down the phone in the office.

“I’m sorry, senpai.”

In front of his desk, a subordinate with his neck straight and his head bowed as if he had climbed a guillotine.

The man who hung up the phone picked up a black nameplate in front of him that read ‘Director Kim Gye-sik’ and slapped his subordinate’s neck as if he were being executed.

“Please do not report this matter to the owner separately and do not post it to the owner. There is no need to make it uncomfortable to plant something like this by looking at a pyramid like this. Do you understand what I mean?”

“…Yes, senior.”

A subordinate who bows his head more deeply.

“…a guy named Joo-Sung Kim must somehow find a weakness.”

The number of spectators of 「Master Plan」 cruised along with the power of the first start.

Entering the second week, the number of viewers exceeded 6 million, and the break-even point of 4.7 million was reached early.

Some of the audience naturally flowed into “Stars Beyond the Garm,” starring Yeon-woo as the lead, and Yeon-woo’s ransom skyrocketed.

“Hmm, what would be good?”

Yeon-woo is struggling with the spread of several advertisements in the officetel.

Yeonwoo, who returned to Seoul from a trip with friends, did not have a proper schedule and, as CEO Kim Joo-seong said, was planning to engage in activities other than works such as CFs and fan signings.

Having a lot of money is always good.

In this life too, like in my previous life, I did not intend to live a miserable life by accumulating money, and even if the purpose of personal wealth and wealth is not the goal, if I face an unknown group called ‘Baeksol’ in the future, even if I receive the support of Baek No-ya through Haneun luck. Military funding is essential.

“But it’s like doing too many things.”

Even if I thought about it objectively, there was a high possibility that one’s own value would rise as the work progressed.

Then, if you sign an advertisement contract for one product, even if the ransom price increases during the contract period, you have to give up advertisements that may come in at a higher price from competing brands.

“Once we fix this.”

Advertisements for cars and carbonated drinks left aside.

When I looked at the storyline, I was confident that this case could be digested better than the content of the concept sent to me.

As for other things, I have quite a bit of leeway before the Netflix audition starts, so I think I should think about it slowly.

Jiying-.

Then Yeonwoo’s smartphone rings.

“Um? Director Park Chan-Hong?”

Yeon-woo answered the call by sliding the screen of his smartphone.

“Yes, Director.”

– Yes, Yeonwoo-kun. Are you busy?

“No. I was resting. I saw the news that the number of viewers exceeded 6 million in today’s article. Congratulations.”

At Yeonwoo’s congratulations, Director Park’s loud laughter was heard over the smartphone.

– Thanks to you. I should congratulate you too. A blue-chip actor who caught the screen and the CRT at the same time.

“No words. Thank you, Director.”

Yeon-woo smiles awkwardly after hearing director Park Chan-hong’s words, who are trembling today, not matching the image.

Then, over the receiver, Park Chan-hong’s voice continued again.

– I’m calling you today because of what you talked about when you left the premiere.

“Oh, I’ll prepare a table for dinner.”

– No, I have a story I want to ask, so of course I prepare it. I don’t care any time from today. Can you talk to me at your convenient time?

‘What do you want me to do?’

Yeon-woo tilted his head at the low-key attitude of director Park Chan-hong, the first he had ever seen.

“I have no problem today.”

– is it? Then I’ll give you a place and time. Sorry for the sudden appointment.

“No. Director, if you contact me then, I will meet you on time.”

After hanging up on the phone, Yeon-woo thought deeply.

‘What else can the director ask of me other than appearing in a movie? Rather, it would be something to welcome me with both hands up on my side, and it would not be something to ask in such a low-key attitude.’

Not long after, a message with the location and time arrived on Yeonwoo’s smartphone.

Druck-.

Following the guidance of the staff, I opened the sliding door and entered, director Park Chan-hong stood up and greeted Yeon-woo.

“Come here, Yeonwoo-kun.”

“Director. Hello.”

Director Park Chan-hong, who bowed his head and politely asked for a handshake with both hands, grabbed the hand of Yeon-woo, smiled and patted the shoulder.

“Sit down, the order was just prepared as a course. Do you have any food to hide?”

“I eat anything well.”

The two people who were seated looked at each other.

“I heard that the drama shooting went well.”

“Oh, yes. I was able to finish well thanks to the director learning and growing while filming “Master Plan.”

“Haha, the old man says everything to make him feel good.”

After looking at Yeon-woo and smiling with a satisfied expression, director Park Chan-hong continued.

“If I were to pick a persona in my film life, many people would say ‘Ha-kyun Jung’.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Persona refers to an actor who has always been with the director’s filmmaking career, ‘like the director’s own alter ego’.

If you look at the career of actor Jung Ha-kyun, who performed brilliantly in the role of the villain and target, Park Kang-woo, in “Master Plan”, it can be seen that he has worked with director Park Chan-hong in numerous works.

“I wrote the screenplay this time, but actually, I have kept it for a long time since I entered the movie version.”

Director Park Chan-hong pulled out a yellow briefcase from under the coat he had taken off next to him, placed it on the table, and continued talking.

“Until now, I was actually drunk on the success of commercial films, and I was thinking about how to mobilize more audiences and what to do to make it look bigger and more magnificent. .”

Director Park Chan-Hong asks a question while holding a glass of water in front of him, and then looking at Yeon-Woo again.

“Do you know how the media evaluates me?”

“…a master of commercial films.”

“That’s right.”

Park Chan-hong nodded at Yeon-woo’s words and continued with a bitter smile.

“It’s good to say, but some people think of him as an entertainment film director who only wants money.”

Yeon-woo listened to director Park Chan-hong’s self-helpful words and just looked at him in silence.

“By the way, while filming this movie, watching you in the frame countless times, the script I wrote before seemed to call me strong.”

Director Park Chan-hong continued, pushing the yellow envelope placed on the table toward Yeon-woo.

“Michelangelo finds an angel imprisoned in marble and sculpts it until he sets it free. It may sound too grandiose to say this, but I found this scenario just like Michelangelo when I saw you acting in the frame. They call it a girl persona.”

Contrary to what is being said in the media, for directors, persona does not simply refer to an actor who has appeared in many of their films.

Did you find the right actor for the role in the scenario as a casting?

Or did you think of the script after seeing the actor itself?

This is a big difference, and director Chan-Hong Park has never met such a persona before, so he has never tried an art film that suits him.

Yeon-woo looked at the yellow paper envelope that director Park Chan-hong held out.

The director I met today, Chan-Hong Park, felt completely different from what I had seen so far.

I’m not a person who usually talks like this, and I’m not a person who expresses what I want outwardly.

In the past life, Yeon-woo has seen many people from many countries, and has met many successful people in various fields while infiltrating the political and financial circles of each country.

Looking at director Chan-Hong Park now, Yeon-Woo made a decision.

After a few seconds of silence, Yeonwoo’s mouth finally opened.

“I’m going to do this movie.”

Director Park Chan-hong’s eyes widened as he watched Yeon-woo say he would do it right away without even reviewing the script.

“No, let me hear the explanation first. I plan to make this into an independent film using my own money, and I can’t pay a lot of money. The genre is a humanistic drama, and the objective is to be submitted to a film festival, so maybe I can win an award…”

“Director.”

Director Park Chan-hong, who was giving additional explanations, was called by Yeon-woo and continued.

“I felt like I was growing on my own while doing 「Master Plan」. I want to shoot a movie with the director once more.

“…I didn’t want to receive any investment, but if your opinion is yours, then I’d be welcome too. We’ll be making this film together.”

Now, director Park Chan-hong seems to be hurriedly giving various explanations to his acceptance without even reading the script, but he could feel strongly that his eyes were full of confidence in his success.

Failing people speak of the sweetness of success with their mouths, but their eyes are uncertain and full of fear.

Conversely, successful people speak with the worst in mind, but their eyes are always full of conviction.

Whatever the content of the script, it will be a success story, and if you find the scenario in yourself through the eyes of director Chan-Hong Park, it will be a role that suits you well, like custom-made clothes.

There was absolutely no reason to refuse.
