Translator: Dreamscribe

The goateed Tune Man-woo PD, who took a seat, began to order immediately.

“In case you come to a rooster toes restaurant, you need to order rooster toes.”

Then he poured soju into the empty glass of the square-chinned director sitting throughout from him.

“It’s true that persons are merchandise of their surroundings. In case you’re depressing, your life turns into depressing.”

The square-chinned director scratched his head in embarrassment.

“You already know, hyung. My life is depressing proper now, why fake it’s not?”

“You loopy bastard. Hey, Shin Dong-chun. Has your character died too?”

Tune Man-woo PD and director Shin Dong-chun. The 2 had been very shut associates and former colleagues from the SBC Drama Division. Whereas Shin Dong-chun wasn’t as profitable as Tune Man-woo PD, he was additionally a good director with a good filmography on the time.

It was under no circumstances a simple path. It was a tough profession change.

Nevertheless, Director Shin Dong-chun bravely selected the trail of movie. Maybe he was daring as a result of he was in a comparatively steady interval in his profession as a drama PD. Or perhaps as a result of he was single. Regardless, regardless of dissuasion from these round him, Director Shin Dong-chun launched into screenplay writing. After all, this was after he left SBC.

The screenplay he accomplished via this work was ‘Exorcism’.

Quick ahead 2 years. Director Shin Dong-chun’s ‘Exorcism’ had been drifting aimlessly for about 2 years, hitting the wall of actuality. Within the movie trade, the rapid manufacturing of a brief or impartial movie was near a miracle, so it turned a protracted hiatus. Sadly, throughout this time, he confronted misfortune. He was swindled by somebody from a movie firm, and there was a scenario the place his mother and father’ assure went improper.

Ultimately, Director Shin Dong-chun turned penniless. Misfortunes piled up and struck him unexpectedly.

In reality, he was nonetheless sane deserved reward from others. Is it lastly seeing the sunshine? Luckily, Director Shin Dong-chun’s ‘Exorcism’ has simply barely obtained funding.

After all, there’s an issue as a result of there’s a whiff of foul play related to the funding.

Anyway, because the ordered rooster toes had been being arrange, Director Shin Dong-chun requested Tune Man-woo PD, who was filling his glass.

“By the way in which, is author Park doing nicely?”

“After all, She is busy writing the script.”

“Now that you’re in the midst of casting for ‘Profiler Hanryang’. What number of elements of the script have been written?”

“Roughly- about 2, 3 elements.”

“You’ll be doing script readings and beginning filming quickly.”

“By tomorrow, there needs to be information articles about confirmed particulars.”

Round this time, Tune Man-woo PD casually continued the dialog whereas holding a bit of rooster foot.

“Hey, how’s your ‘Exorcism’ brief movie coming alongside?”

“It’s nonetheless robust.”

“If it’s that robust, why don’t you give up and be part of our drama B group? If I speak to C-Blue Studio, it’s completely doable to have you ever as an exterior PD.”

Usually, being a drama B group PD carries varied meanings. It might discuss with a substitute or a PD who has brought about issues, amongst different issues. It has a unfavourable connotation. But when it’s heavyweight Tune Man-woo PD’s B group, that’s a distinct story. It will positively be successful. Given the present scenario, it’s an enormous alternative.

Regardless of this, Director Shin Dong-chun shook his head.

“If I did that, the workers would speak behind my again. Why must you get blamed for taking pity on me?”

“You fool, you need to survive first. Take a look at your self. You’re simply half of what you was once. So what’s happening now? Inform me.”

Quickly, after a protracted sigh, Director Shin Dong-chun defined his present scenario in a condensed type.

“I obtained fortunate and located an investor.”

“Wasn’t the manufacturing value of that film about 30 million? That’s excellent news, isn’t it? However…”Ñ00v€l–ß1n hosted the premiere launch of this chapter.

“It’s 40 million. And that’s not even confirmed. It might go up. Regardless of being a brief movie, it’s about 50 minutes lengthy. Anyway, that investor is from the leisure trade. They are saying that in change for the funding, they wish to affirm one in all their very own actors.”

“···Effectively, that’s one thing that always occurred even once you had been a PD. No large deal.”

“The actor they need us to incorporate as the primary lead among the many new faces is Park Jung-hyuk.”

At that second, Tune Man-woo PD furrowed his brows.

“That drunkard? The one who tousled his profession due to a combat? In order that investor is from GGO Leisure.”

“Precisely.”

Upon listening to the scenario, Tune Man-woo PD instantly gave his response. As a director, he was on the high of the meals chain within the leisure trade.

“They’re attempting to whitewash his picture. They’re spending 40-50 million to redeem Park Jung-hyuk and revive his profession. It’s a worthwhile enterprise if they’ll do it.”

After harshly downing a shot of soju, Director Shin Dong-chun laughed bitterly.

“However the stage for that worthwhile enterprise is ‘Exorcism’… It’s simply… I didn’t spend years struggling to whitewash a man like Park Jung-hyuk.”

“······”

In the event that they had been to push an actor with a previous of a serious assault case because the male lead, the readability of ‘Exorcism’, even when it’s a brief movie, ‘Exorcism’ can be tarnished. After all, there are methods for it to prove nicely, however the stigma of being a ‘whitewashing’ mission wouldn’t disappear.

Furthermore, the efforts and persistence of Director Shin Dong-chun, who had been working laborious for years, would all be invalidated.

At this level.

“Hmm-”

Tune Man-woo PD, who was sitting throughout together with his arms crossed, all of a sudden spoke up whereas Director Shin Dong-chun.

“Shall I introduce an actor to you?”

“Huh? Aren’t all of the actors round you top-tier?”

“Even so. Simply because they’re top-tier doesn’t imply they don’t have a look at indie, brief movie scripts. Even Hong-star nonetheless takes indie scripts.”

“Effectively, that is smart if we’re speaking about Hong Hye-yeon, who’s so obsessed with performing.”

“However the one I’m about to introduce isn’t a type of high stars, it’s another person, I’m unsure if he would have an interest although.”

“······Who?”

“Weren’t you supposed to return at 3? You’re a bit late.”

Director Shin Dong-chun spoke with a pressured smile. In distinction, the newcomer barely tilted his head.

“Are you speaking about me?”

“No, not you. However the place’s Government Director Park? Did he go to get espresso or one thing? Are available in first.”

Like he was speaking to himself, Director Shin Dong-chun guided the newcomer into the shabby movie firm. Quickly, the newcomer additionally slowly adopted him in.

Earlier than they knew it, the 2 had been–

-Whoosh.

Sitting face-to-face at a 4-person desk within the middle. On the identical time, Director Shin Dong-chun met eyes with the newcomer man throughout from him.

“The profile- Government Director Park will present you.”

He checked the time once more. Government Director Park had stated he would deliver a couple of newcomers. If extra newcomers had been coming apart from this one, Director Shin Dong-chun thought he might save a while.

Moreover, the situation of the newcomer sitting in entrance of him was higher than anticipated, however…

‘In any case, the performing of the newcomers who’re educated like manufacturing facility staff is just about the identical. This child’s cool indifference has a heavy taste, which is fine- however performing is an entire totally different story.’

His expectations for performing had been very low. GGO Leisure is massive, however it’s recognized for having lots of bland newcomers. Subsequently, Director Shin Dong-chun, casually made a request to the newcomer man throughout from him.

“Whereas we’re ready for Director Park, ought to we check out your performing? You’ve ready one thing, proper? I assume you didn’t simply come right here to point out your face.”

At this, the poker-faced newcomer paused for a couple of seconds earlier than nodding his head.

“I do have some performing to point out you.”

“Okay. Then present me. It doesn’t matter if it’s brief.”

Watching monotonous performing for a very long time is simply boring. This was what Director Shin Dong-chun was pondering in the intervening time.

Nevertheless.

-Whoosh.

The twist was prompt. As quickly because the newcomer man throughout from him started his performing,

“······Hmm?”

Little by little.

“······??”

His eyes steadily widened.

“????”

By the point the newcomer man completed his performing, his expression had modified to a terrific shock. He was so shocked that he didn’t even discover his dilated eyes.

Simply staring on the man sitting in entrance of him.

However.

“That is the tip.”

The newcomer introduced the tip with a really solemn voice. Nevertheless, Director Shin Dong-chun was nonetheless in shock.

‘What, what did I simply… see?’

He had lots of expertise as a drama PD. He had seen many actors. But it surely was the primary time he had been shocked by somebody’s performing.

‘It was like seeing a personality I wrote in entrance of me… or much more than that.’

It felt like a personality from the script got here out and began speaking. The newcomer’s performing was extra vivid than actuality, a type of performing he had by no means seen earlier than.

Did GGO Leisure actually educated this man? Can this be actual??

Quickly.

“······Um, you.”

With broad eyes, Director Shin Dong-chun lastly opened his mouth.

“How lengthy have you ever been at GGO Leisure?”

On the identical time,

-Clang!

The iron door of the movie firm opened with a bang. The person who opened the door was a bit chubby. Subsequent to him had been two young-looking women and men.

“Hahaha, Director Shin! I’m a bit late!”

The chubby man who shouted heartily. It appeared that he was the individual referred to as Government Director Park. The individuals he introduced had been the newcomers. Anyway, Government Director Park appeared backwards and forwards between Director Shin Dong-chun and the person sitting in entrance of him, after which shouted once more.

“Oh my! Are you in a gathering? Who’s that man in entrance? An actor?”

At this level, Director Shin Dong-chun, who had his brows furrowed, turned his gaze to the detached man throughout him.

“Director Park……you don’t know him?”

The person sitting in entrance of him remained expressionless.

“I don’t know him.”

“What? What do you imply?”

The person sitting in entrance of him spoke with a really chilly tone.

“You appear to be mistaken.”

“Mistaken? Me?”

“Sure. I additionally don’t know that individual.”

“···Sure? No, what do you imply. Then who’re you?”

The person then recited in a really low and deep voice. His imposing presence was harking back to a heavyweight.
