Kang Woojin was hungry. He hadn’t eaten something since lunch yesterday. He was regretting unintentionally skipping the meat social gathering dinner final night time.

‘Doing all this appearing and pretending, it’s all about making a dwelling to eat. Ah- my beef.’

What may he do? His pressure was all of a sudden relieved, and he fell asleep. Woojin’s present expression was overlaid with a slight despair, along with his typical facade. It was expressed as extreme cynicism. At the very least that’s the way it appeared to Hong Hye-yeon, standing beside Kang Woojin.

‘In some way… he appears extra cold-hearted than typical. Is he nonetheless feeling the feelings from Park Dae-ri yesterday?’

Hong Hye-yeon, together with her lengthy hair tied in a single aspect, glanced at Woojin’s temper every so often. Quickly, she was going to make a suggestion to him.

Then.

-Swoosh.

Hong Hye-yeon gestured into the open door of the van.

“Lets go?”

Escorted by Hong Hye-yeon? Candy. Woojin, who by some means suppressed his pleasure, nodded shortly.

“Sure.”

At that second.

“Hiya, Woojin.”

A person’s voice got here from behind Woojin as he was moving into the white van. Turning round, he noticed a stranger, whom he had by no means seen earlier than. Hong Hye-yeon, who was already within the van, launched him.Ñ00v€l–ß1n hosted the premiere launch of this chapter.

“My company’s CEO.”

CEO Choi Sung-gun prolonged his hand to Kang Woojin.

“Woojin, do you’ve a second?”

Since he’s the CEO of Hong Hye-yeon’s company, Kang Woojin additionally had a connection to him.

‘Is that this man the investor for ‘Exorcism’?’

The investor of the quick movie ‘Exorcism’. In different phrases, he was able just like a landlord for the protagonist, Kang Woojin. It was awkward to deal with him flippantly. Kang Woojin answered quietly as he acquired into the van.

“Go forward.”

Quickly, CEO Choi Sung-gun joined them as effectively, three folks gathered in Hong Hye-yeon’s van. CEO Choi Sung-gun was the one who initiated the dialog.

“You look much more good-looking up shut. I’m Choi Sung-gun, the CEO of bw Leisure.”

That’s simply lip service. Unimpressed, Woojin launched himself as effectively.

“I’m Kang Woojin.”

“Haha, I do know, I do know. The most well liked factor on this script studying was none aside from Kang Woojin. You actually nailed it, didn’t you?”

At this level, Woojin sized up the CEO throughout from him. His demeanor was barely peculiar, severe but blended with lightness. CEO Choi Sung-gun continued.

“By probability, I ended up having a reference to Kang Woojin. You realize that we invested in ‘Exorcism’?”

“Sure.”

“That’s as a result of I heard loads from our Hong-star. Nonetheless, this time the principle character isn’t Hye-yeon. Woojin, please take excellent care of ‘Exorcism’.”

CEO Choi Sung-gun, who bowed his head barely to Kang Woojin, all of a sudden modified to a severe face.

“Anyway, let’s lower to the chase. So far as I do know, Woojin doesn’t have an company but, I need bw Leisure, no, me to be with you at your place to begin as an actor.”

“You’re providing a contract?”

“Sure. After all, our firm remains to be small. Some would possibly see it as a one-person company for Hong Hye-yeon. However a startup has the vitality of a startup.”

CEO Choi Sung-gun started his briefing passionately.

“Massive and small have clear benefits and drawbacks, and it’s time for Woojin to have concentrated care reasonably than dispersed. There’s a must firmly right issues, not simply reasonably. The leisure world is a jungle; dropping an actor with one improper transfer isn’t any massive deal.”

That’s brutally harsh. Woojin, who had been listening to the briefing, felt the unfamiliar leisure world was even stranger. Anyway, he selected his phrases. What would stand out as a grand line at this second? No matter it was, his vanity needed to be excessive.

“I just like the jungle.”

For a second, CEO Choi Sung-gun was barely greatly surprised. He was making an attempt to let Woojin understand it’s like strolling on skinny ice, however he preferred it? And what about that expression? Kang Woojin’s eyes have been now unwaveringly agency. CEO Choi Sung-gun judged Woojin to be an anomaly.

‘Precisely… what sort of previous does one must stroll by means of to have this type of potential?’

A stubbornness that odd unknowns and newcomers may by no means have. Kang Woojin was unknown solely in actuality, his thoughts was already on the high. At the very least in CEO Choi Sung-gun’s sharp eyes.

‘I need him. I need him now.’

Due to that, CEO Choi Sung-gun put much more power into his voice.

“I’ll make it potential so that you can unfold your wings within the jungle. When you, Woojin, be a part of us, I’ll personally handle you. I promise, no, I assure you of detailed and meticulous care. I could appear to be this, however I’m good at what I do. I’ve constructed connections within the jungle, and my repute isn’t unhealthy.”

Most of it was true. CEO Choi Sung-gun was a producer with a fairly excessive repute within the leisure business. He then modified the stream of the dialog.

“Woojin, you obtained many enterprise playing cards, proper?”

“I acquired fairly a number of.”

“I perceive. Though you weren’t on the ceremonial dinner yesterday, it was a chaos among the many leisure business insiders. They have been speaking about how the Blue Chip of Chungmuro1 is a certain guess and such. I estimate that you’d have obtained about ten.”

The quantity was related.

“Did any speak about a signing bonus come up? If it’s troublesome, you don’t have to inform me.”

A signing bonus? Was there such a dialog? Kang Woojin recalled the individuals who had given him enterprise playing cards yesterday. However there was positively no speak of a signing bonus. Nonetheless, most of them had stated one thing like that.

‘They talked one thing about extraordinary situations.’

Woojin vaguely answered that.

“I believe I heard one thing about an distinctive provide.”

“…Distinctive.”

Hong Hye-yeon, who had been silently listening, bit her lip barely and nudged the marginally stunned CEO Choi Sung-gun within the ribs. With this, CEO Choi Sung-gun leaned nearer to Woojin.

“I’ll attempt to match it as greatest as I can. I hope you’ll a minimum of hear what our firm has to supply. Please.”

Once more. One thing all of a sudden accelerates uncontrolled. However Kang Woojin had already boarded the specific practice. Hesitation would solely damage his picture. So Woojin selected a solution that might not simply reveal his ideas.

“I’ll give it some thought and call you.”

In the meantime, inside high actor Ryu Jung-min’s van.

“Hmm- an company.”

Kang Woojin rubbed his chin, recalling the enterprise playing cards he obtained and their briefings. As he did so, he walked in direction of the realm the place the white sq. was floating. Then.

“Huh?”

Kang Woojin found one thing.

-[1/Scenario (Title: Exorcism), B grade]

-[2/Script (Title: Profiler Hanryang Part 1), S grade]

The grade of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ had modified to S. It was definitely A+ earlier than going to the script studying. In different phrases, the worth of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ had elevated. Due to this, Kang Woojin tilted his head. It was laborious to know.

He knew the place to begin of this wind of change was himself, however,

“Why did this all of a sudden rise?”

Kang Woojin had no thought.

March tenth.

Kang Woojin, carrying a big backpack, left his studio condominium within the early within the morning. Then, about 5 minutes later, somebody referred to as Kang Woojin from the aspect of the bus cease curb.

“Ha ha, Woojin!”

It was Director Shin Dong-chun, who had parked his van. As quickly as Woojin noticed him, he started to stroll. Inside, he was regularly chanting a mantra. Why?

For about 5 days beginning at the moment.

‘Phew- don’t overlook to behave powerful. Though it’s a brief movie, it’s my first time going to a taking pictures location, so I’m a bit nervous.’

As a result of the principle taking pictures for ‘Exorcism’ was going down.

Round 11 within the morning. Paju, Gyeonggi Province.

In entrance of the villa in Paju the place the principle taking pictures of ‘Exorcism’ would happen.

“Oh, it’s a bit chilly at the moment! It’s March, why is it chilly?”

The actors showing in ‘Exorcism’ have been seen within the grassy yard. Together with the extras, there have been about 5 folks? Three males and two girls. Everybody was busy wrapping up of their coats, seated on makeshift chairs. As a result of the climate was a bit chilly.

“It’s good to have a spot to take a seat, often, we’ve got to face all day after we go to different filming places.”

“That’s true.”

The entire actors have been unknown.

Probably the most recognizable male actor had solely appeared in minor roles in theater or movie. All of them met for the primary time on set at the moment. Furthermore, they hadn’t even seen the protagonist of ‘Exorcism’. They have been going into filming with a hurried schedule that included studying and rehearsal, so that they hadn’t had an opportunity to see one another’s faces.

Anyway.

“Oh, by the best way.”

The male actor, who had zipped up his light-weight padding jacket to his neck, all of a sudden requested all the opposite actors.

“Has anybody seen the actress for the position of ‘spouse’?”

The actors shook their heads, indicating that they hadn’t.

“That’s proper, has she not come but?”

“I used to be curious, why hasn’t she come? Nobody is aware of who she is, proper?”

“The workers didn’t know both.”

Then, a lady who performed a Exorcism workers member modified the topic.

“Ah, have you ever heard? The protagonist of ‘Exorcism’ can be an unknown actor.”

The opposite actors nodded their heads as in the event that they already knew.

“I heard. However it was unusual as a result of, despite the fact that the director is considerably identified within the drama world, and the 45-minute length is kind of lengthy for a brief movie, , so it was unusual that even the protagonist is unknown.”

“For a brief movie of this caliber, shouldn’t a supporting actor be the protagonist? Particularly since that is stated to be a submission for the ‘Mise-en-scène Quick Movie Competition’.”

“Properly, perhaps it was a situation for funding? Or perhaps the investor is an leisure firm.”

Quickly, the actors expressed their envy.

“Ah- I’m jealous. I wish to be the principle character in a film with funding too.”

“That’s why you must be a part of an organization to make it massive as an actor.”

“Possibly the appearing could be disappointing if they’re backed by an leisure firm?”

“They may be very younger.”

“Huh? Talking of which, the protagonist actor hasn’t arrived but?”

At this second.

“Come on! We’ve got a briefing in half-hour, so let’s hurry!”

Director Shin Dong-chun, entered the courtyard of the villa and as he scanned the environment, he frowned.

“However the place is our protagonist?”

Then, Director Shin Dong-chun smiled as he regarded on the huddled actors.

“Ah, hiding there, come over right here, protagonist.”

The protagonist? The protagonist? Due to that, the actors started to go searching, transferring their heads left and proper.

-Swoosh.

Abruptly, a person with a chilly expression stood up from among the many actors. He was sitting on the again.
