However, Derek, who, like a superstar, doesn’t mind this level of staring, spoke calmly.
“Can you sing a song with that friend?”
Called.
The director replied, but I couldn’t understand.
A staff member next to him quickly revealed to Derek that he was filming the broadcast.
“Because we are filming a TV program, the general public cannot attend the busking performance. Instead, it is possible to enjoy the song to your heart’s content as an audience member.”
this.
Derek didn’t extend his vacation until tomorrow just to listen as an audience.
“What if it’s not normal people?”
Derek asked as he took off his hat and sunglasses.
There was no answer coming back.
Everyone turned to ice and only stared at his face.
He was so famous that I couldn’t help but notice him.
Even his voice proved that the person in front of him was Derek.
“What, Derek?”
“It’s Derek!”
“no. Why is Derek here?”
Seeing the staff’s astonishment, Derek asked again slowly.
“Can I sing a song or two with that friend who sings now?”
Called.
*
An international call came in early in the morning.
I was able to identify the caller without having to hear the voice.
The person who would call me internationally early in the morning right now was not Arin, but Park Il-do, who followed me.
It’s about 6:00 AM here, so it must be 9:00 PM over there.
Worried that something might have happened, I hurriedly answered the phone.
– CEO!
The caller was Arin, not Park Il-do.
Arin’s voice was faster than my words to ask what was going on.
– You have a representative.
“Arin. What’s going on?”
As soon as I answer the phone, I hear Arin’s excited voice.
However, as soon as I heard your voice, I felt relieved. It was because there was no sense of urgency or urgency in Arin’s voice.
– well. I did my first shoot when I arrived here. It was a jackpot, a jackpot!
“why? Did people flock to you because they were moved by your song?”
It is a filming of a ＜Busking＞ performance that goes overseas.
The only thing that can be said to be a hit in that shoot is that the busking performance ended successfully.
Is that what you’re excited about calling this early in the morning?
I thought so, but I didn’t express it.
Since Arin is the first person to go abroad, everything must have been exciting.
– no! I was singing when a stranger approached me.
“so?”
He said it was a jackpot, so he must not be a monster.
Did any famous person come and listen to the song as an audience?
My expectations were shattered by Arin’s continued words.
– I sang with the famous pop singer Derek. I am!
“who?”
– Derek, who topped the Billboard charts with GOOD DAY. That Derek heard my song and came to ask me to sing with him. Because we performed together!
huh?
So, I went to Lisbon, Portugal to shoot ＜Busking＞.
A famous American singer, Derek, came and sang with Arin?
What genre of story is that?
– And one more surprise!
Arin’s words weren’t over yet.
＜ Episode 120 ＞ End
＜ Episode 121 ＞
A surprise story?
It was good news for sure.
Because I could feel Arin’s smile through the receiver.
“What is it?”
– Derek gave me his personal contact information. The company contact information is also included.
“Contact information?”
– yes. After we sang together, he said that to me.
that it is still not enough
Arin is definitely a raw diamond.
If it is processed a little more, it will become the most expensive jewel in the world, but its value does not shine yet.
– So, at first, he told me to come to him. He said that he would raise him to become the greatest star.
what?
To be honest, it was a proposal that even I, Arin, would be shaken by.
It was a proposal from Derek, who is running at the top in the huge market of the United States, and no one else.
If there was not enough possibility, I would have stopped it, but I have already seen Arin’s brilliant talent with my own eyes.
In a word, Arin was given the opportunity to become a world-class star.
“So what did you say?”
– hmm. What would you say?
Perhaps she was trying to play a joke on me, Arin slightly dragged her words.
But it wasn’t fishing that I could pass on.
What if Arin said yes to Derek’s proposal?
Then Park Il-do, who felt serious on the spot, would have called right away, not Arin.
But I’m asking with such excitement, so I’ll have to pretend to let it go.
“this. We shouldn’t take away the most important treasure in our company. It must have been sent abroad for no reason.”
– no way. I know you know everything. Derek already has a contract with a company. I liked the place so much that I said it was okay.
“How stupid! You should have seized such a golden opportunity.”
It was sincere.
I forgot that I was a celebrity in my company and a singer I raised, so I said this without even realizing it.
It was because I felt that it was an opportunity that would be a pity to miss.
– no way. So, can you contact me right now and go to me for real?
“Oh, no. That’s not it.”
I stuttered without realizing it because of Arin’s threat, which was not a threat.
It was an offer that was too good to miss, and it was a situation where I couldn’t send it.
I hear Arin’s voice smiling as if she is satisfied with my answer.
– Ahem! From now on, I rejected the offer of American superstar Derek and chose the CEO, so you should always keep that in mind.
“okay. I will take good care of our Arin. I will try to send it to Billboard with my own hands in the future.”
Arin imitates Yuna and shows off her cute arrogance.
And don’t forget that my follow-up answer was satisfactory. he added.
Arin said that he had received Derek’s personal and company contact information.
If that’s the case, then Arin got the phone number after rejecting Derek’s offer.
Arin continued the explanation as if he had read my thoughts.
– I refused because I already had a company, so they gave me my personal and company contact information. Maybe later, when my talent is fully developed and I’m about to knock on the door of Billboard. then contact me I promise to help.
“okay? It’s really like Arin said, it’s great news, no, it’s super good news.”
– Yes? In fact, the camera is still taking pictures. You don’t know how much I was scolded for holding back the fact that I wanted to tell the CEO this news right away.
“You’ve held up well.”
I can hear Arin’s voice laughing over the receiver at my praise.
trust and faith.
What could be bigger than this piled up between me and Arin?
“Am I right?”
– What?
Arin asks if he didn’t understand my sudden words.
From noble mtl dot com
“I told Arin that you will definitely succeed as a singer. Choi Woo-hyuk’s standard of success is too small to be limited to Korea. okay. It’s too narrow.”
– Poop. What is it?
That’s what I said, but I heard a gurgling and bursting into laughter.
More than anything, I was happy that the child I raised with my own hands was recognized by the world’s best pop singer.
To be precise, he must have recognized Arin’s talent.
The important thing is that Arin’s potential was confirmed.
In the future, there is a possibility to advance to the United States, not Korea.
“I hear you have a busy shooting schedule tomorrow too?”
– that’s right. But today, Derek did a busking performance together, so PD-nim became an angel of laughter.
“It will be warm during the rest of the filming period. You must have already secured the amount of broadcasting.”
– that’s right. Even until yesterday, they said they normally start moving early in the morning. After returning to the dorm earlier, they told me to rest until tomorrow morning to take care of my condition.
It was meant to be.
It was Derek, who sang ＜GOOD DAY＞, which was holding the number one spot on the Billboard chart even a month ago, no one else.
I went to capture people’s attention and love through a busking performance by people who have no recognition abroad.
From the beginning of the first shoot, that superstar Derek appeared and sang together.
What could be more controversial than this?
A smile must have bloomed on PD Kim’s face.
The burden of having to extract the broadcasting amount from the rest of the filming schedule must have disappeared.
“okay. You must be tired, but Arin, you should go to sleep soon. You should always take good care of your condition. Understand? If you feel even the slightest abnormality, tell team leader Park Il-do at any time.”
– Don’t worry about me and take good care of your health, starting with the CEO. I’m worried that I can’t even eat properly.
ah.
There was a time like that.
When I was busy, I simply chewed a piece of gimbap to eat a meal.
Why is it in the past tense?
“Even last night, Yuna brought me a late-night snack. After filming, they bought materials and made it simple.”
At my words, I hear a booming voice over the receiver.
Last night, I heard that Yuna went home after buying ingredients after filming ＜I Chase You To The End＞.
I did, but an hour later, he came to the office saying he had made a late-night snack.
“Chief. Today’s shooting was so stressful, so I cooked some food. Come on, try it now.”
while saying
understanding has gone
As the recent viewer ratings are nearing 30%, the level of perfection demanded by the filming set is getting higher and higher.
The problem is that I am gaining weight thanks to it.
It doesn’t show on the outside yet.
Obviously, the waist size of the pants was gradually reaching its limit.
I thought I was the type to not gain weight.
This time I confirmed that it wasn’t because I couldn’t eat because I was busy with work, so I didn’t gain weight.
That said, I can’t stop Yuna from cooking to relieve the stress of filming.
It was a really embarrassing situation.

When I arrived at the office after taking care of my external schedule in the morning, Lee Ju-yeon was waiting for me.
“I could have come to your house if you had contacted me.”
“no. It’s okay because I came early to say hello to the staff.”
I heard that just as I cherish Park Il-do, Lee Ju-yeon also cherishes her manager Park Sang-heon, who has been following her for several years.
He probably came because he wanted to check if there was any territorial attitude towards Park Sang-heon in the company.
There were things Park Sang-heon suffered at the previous company.
As a result of talking with me and the staff from the morning, it seems that he was relieved.
Lee Joo-yeon was waiting for me with a comfortable face.
When you reach a position like Lee Joo-yeon, actors naturally notice.
Although the kindness is ambiguous, the strange hostility towards himself is staggering.
“Good job. They are the ones who will continue to be with Juyeon in the future.”
“Keep going. That’s a word I like.”
Without going round and round, Lee Joo-yeon brings out the business that came to her today.
“Rather than that, the reason I asked the CEO today is because I wanted to discuss the next project.”
it’s the next one
Lee Joo-yeon’s decision was faster than I expected.
Even if I came to our company, I thought I would rest and recharge for at least one or two more months.
I’m just saying it’s a break, but the actress who is having a busy schedule filming the commercials that have flooded in was Lee Joo-yeon.
That’s why I thought that Lee Joo-yeon, like Kim Soo-jin, would take a little break while dealing with the advertisements that came in like a wave.
“hmm. I don’t know if I should say this as soon as I come to WH.”
“Please speak comfortably.”
When I came in, the company was bad. So let’s break the contract.
As long as it wasn’t for this kind of story, it didn’t matter.
Looking at Lee Joo-yeon’s expression, it doesn’t seem like that.
“I want to choose my next work with the goal of winning an award. rather than grades.”
“It’s a prize.”
To be honest, this year was the right time to shoot for ＜Daughter-in-law of a Conglomerate Family＞ to aim for the broadcasting company’s acting grand prize.
It achieved the highest ratings of the year until just before the end.
Because Lee Joo-yeon showed more power to lead the play than Kim Soo-jin.
but.
“this. I have had bad luck with matches this year.”
“that’s right. To be honest, I expected ＜Chasing to the end＞ to achieve some good results. I never thought it would cause such a syndrome.”
＜Chasing to the end＞, which was followed by a sequel, broke the highest viewership rating this year again in less than half.
In addition to the actors, Kang Jun-hyung, Han Ji-woo, and Yuna.
Everyone was saying that it was the best acting of the year.
Unfortunately, as time went on, there was a high possibility that ＜The Chaebol’s Daughter-in-law＞ would be overshadowed by ＜Chasing to the End＞.
It was already in progress.
“Then you are talking about movies.”
“also. The representative understands my words at once.”
He said he wanted to take a picture with the goal of winning an award.
If that’s the case, you might think that you just need to find a work that is expected to be a box office hit for the next drama.
After that, Lee Joo-yeon added, “regardless of grades.”
“I felt this while filming the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family. ah. This is the highest point at which I can lead the work.”
“no. The actor Lee Joo-yeon that I see is higher…”
“no. Even the representative knows. It is honestly difficult to achieve grades above this level.”
this.
Lee Joo-yeon was right.
No matter how good a film was chosen next year, it would not be easy to choose a film that surpasses ＜The Daughter-in-law of a Conglomerate Family＞.
In addition, the standard has now risen to ＜chasing to the end＞.
“are you okay. Still, through this work, I achieved the goals I wanted to achieve.”
Celebrities and real performers live with various hungers.
Wealth, popularity, fame, etc.
Lee Joo-yeon acquired wealth and popularity through ＜Daughter-in-law of Chaebol Family＞.
Popularity and treatment that went up to the top level to the point of uproar in various communities.
And the CFs that are filming without a break even now.
The hunger for those two things is to be satisfied.
Then, what is the hunger that remains for Lee Joo-yeon as an actress?
It was an honor.
“I will search for incoming works and newly emerging works.”
At my concise answer, Lee Ju-yeon looks at me with a surprised expression on her face.
“hmm. The representative is really as rumored.”
“What kind of rumor is that?”
“It is for the actor rather than for the profit of the company. I actually felt that it was an exaggerated rumor to some extent. Listening to the CEO’s words today, it seems that there is no sense of shrinking.”
“Because the company exists to manage actors as much as possible.”
Lee Joo-yeon smiled as if she was satisfied with my answer.
“Then I’ll trust the CEO and wait.”

Park Sang-heon did not go up to the office and was waiting in the car.
It was because Lee Joo-yeon, who had called her early in the morning, told her to wait in the car.
