139 – Challenge (4)
“But I have one question.”
“…… ?”
After the dizzying future conversation, Lee Da-hye asked me with a puzzled expression.
“I heard from Mu-sik that you were looking for an acting teacher, but he didn’t tell you in detail why.”
Baby… ….
In these areas, he is unnecessarily loyal.
Or maybe he didn’t say anything because he wanted to tease me.
Whatever the reason, once I caught sight of her, I planned to put her in a headlock and start interrogating her.
And from the moment that topic came out, whether from Lee Da-hye’s or Seol So-young’s mouth, I had a feeling that today’s acting practice would end here.
So, I put on as shameless a look as possible. I just wanted to quietly get over this agenda somehow.
“So?”
“What’s wrong? You just have to tell me. And why are you hiding the reason from us?”
“That is correct.”
Actually, what could be called the reason was the fact that they would inevitably know from the moment the story of my challenge to acting reached their ears.
The problem is Seol So-young and Lee Da-hye…….
I guess the point is that we have to talk about this when these two are together.
I sighed and slowly opened my mouth.
Looking at their faces, which looked quite serious, I thought it would be wrong to pass on cuteness like before.
“Actually…… “
First of all, the first thing I said was that I was taking on the challenge of making a movie.
In the first place, they had known about this fact for some time. He also told me what the scenario was about.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I told you everything. I guess it’s just a rough adaptation of our story to some extent?
In any case, since they are the people involved in it more than anyone else, it was a set process for who I wanted to play the female protagonist.
However, there was only one female lead position, and there was even a kissing scene to create a lingering effect in the climax scene.
First of all, the decision to try acting was made after listening to Cha Mu-sik’s advice.
If I were to play the male protagonist as he said, uncomfortable scenes wouldn’t be a problem.
However, the problem is that she has only one heroine position, so I was a little reluctant to talk about this to them at this time.
We haven’t talked in detail about the production yet, but if I go into the process properly, I’ll probably be at a crossroads to make a choice.
As for who will be cast as the female lead in this work between Seol So-young and Da-hye Lee? ….
If we had talked this far, I think they would have roughly understood the situation.
After roughly explaining the reasons, I carefully watched the other two people’s reactions.
“… ….”
“… ….”
As expected, the two people remained silent and glared at each other.
But anyone can tell.
Something like sparks flying splendidly in the air between the two.
Maybe this scene is a picture commonly seen in the world line where I choose one of two people without revealing my identity?
The conclusion is a little scary, and it is an extremely personal wish, but I want to escape this suffocating room right now.
***
A few days later.
I went to visit JYB’s headquarters.
There is no particular reason.
“hahahaha… Please save me. Writer.”
It’s just because CEO Baek Jun-young in front of me was desperately looking for me.
I roughly know why he asks me for help with such a pitiful expression.
Of course, it wasn’t my boss, so I just answered with a friendly smile.
“I have absolutely nothing to do with it and am completely unaware of it. “CEO Baek Jun-young.”
“Oh, you’re talking nonsense about someone else’s business!”
“I’m just talking nonsense because it’s someone else’s business.”
“Wow… Please let me record what you just said one more time. 927 Please leave some in the author’s collection of sayings.”
CEO Baek Jun-young let out a deep sigh full of worry.
Honestly, I jokingly said earlier that it wasn’t my business at all, but in reality, I had some stake in it, so I felt a little sorry.
Currently, no matter what anyone says, JYB is the most popular entertainment company in Korea, and JYB has also experienced two major typhoons.
One time was the Dahye Lee stalker incident.
Due to poor initial response and outdated security and security systems, a popular idol named Lee Da-hye was almost murdered by a stalker.
JYB was greatly criticized for this, but ultimately passed without incident.
Perhaps the biggest factor was that there were no deaths. And it has also had positive effects, such as a major overhaul of the security and security systems of most entertainment agencies, so…….
Next, there was a lot of interest in JYB for a while due to the dating rumors between author 927, i.E. Me and Lee Da-hye.
An article that was quite impressive comes to mind here.
After I revealed my identity, it was JYB’s official statement that was immediately posted on the day about the dating rumors between me and Lee Da-hye.
Obviously, we are not currently in contact with the author of 927. If it is true that they are in a relationship, sincere congratulations… I think it was.
That’s right.
I am quoting the shameless words that CEO Baek Joon-young said when he spoke on the phone with me that day.
And that also meant that he was officially viewing the romantic relationship between his agency’s idol quite positively.
The problem here is that the fact that the idol you like is in a relationship with someone must be a pretty big blow.
Because of this, it was inevitable that the company would suffer a blow to its image and fans would leave Dahye Lee.
But CEO Baek Jun-young is not that stupid.
From noble mtl dot com
No matter how lucky he was with Fly High and made a huge profit, he was the one who rolled that profit.
The reason she openly acknowledged her romantic relationship was because there were great benefits to be gained from it.
For example, the large influx of fans of the 927 author.
Of course, we are talking about overseas, not domestically.
It’s not something to brag about, but my fandom is large overseas as well.
In that sense, there is a high possibility that I will be interested in what kind of woman the woman I love is.
Even more so since he even appeared as a lead actor in Fly High.
At that moment, CEO Baek Joon-young pushed for Hongryeon’s comeback. And the result was an all-kill on the music charts and even a Billboard entry.
Thanks to this, Lee Da-hye has become so busy that she often misses school recently, starting with summer vacation.
The problem starts here.
From what I heard, Hongryeon’s schedule is very tight until the end of the year.
But here, you even participate in schedules such as movie filming and events?
That’s not just overwork, it’s overwork.
Even if she strongly wants it, it is normal for her agency to block it at all costs.
Of course, there is no way CEO Baek Joon-young doesn’t know that fact, and that’s probably why he urgently contacted me yesterday.
It is presumed that Lee Da-hye carefully discussed her appearance in the movie with CEO Baek Joon-young.
First of all, I have to get permission from the agency representative before I can compete with Seol So-young for her leading role or not.
“Of course I told you to give up. First of all, Dahye’s main job is as an idol, not as an actress.”
“So you’ve been completely upset since yesterday? “That’s kind of cute.”
“hahahaha… I’m glad it’s cute. “I’m dying to be watched.”
The CEO of Korea’s top entertainment company is watching the idols of his agency…….
I guess it means that she cares for you as much as if you were her family, not just her employee.
She said that even during summer vacation, she played with me as much as possible and coordinated her schedule a lot.
In that sense, I don’t really hate CEO Baek Joon-young.
First of all, you basically have humanity, right?
And the most important thing is……
“You say it’s perfect for pampering?”
“What, when did you learn mind reading? “How did you know?”
“How can you not know when you look at me with such evil eyes? In the first place, he is not the kind of person who would come to JYB so willingly as I asked him to, so he must want something. For example, about the OST for the movie you are making this time.”
…… That’s right.
Actually, as the CEO said, once production was confirmed, I wanted to talk about the OST.
But I never imagined it would happen so quickly.
“Why would I have any reason to refuse? “Now is the time to consider it an honor to have my name included in the author’s work.”
“But I’m thinking about 12 to 15 songs, including the theme song and the soundtrack. Is that okay?”
“That… “Is there a deadline?”
“About 2 or 3 months?”
“Well, what is it? Uncharacteristic of a writer, why do you give me so much time? Other than this, what else are you trying to make me anxious…….”
“Is that the end?”
“…… ?”
Me and CEO Baek Jun-young looked at each other with expressions of incomprehension, and an inexplicable silence continued.
What… ….
No matter how much I think about it, I think 2 to 3 months is a rather short period of time.
The problem was that they didn’t seem to think that way at all.
Is it because every time you’ve worked with me up to now, you’ve only done so in extreme environments?
I felt sorry, as if I had somehow ruined someone’s mind.
“Huh… Anyway, since you’re here, please comfort Da-hye. “I sincerely ask you to do so.”
“Hmm? But aren’t you at the Hongryeon fan meeting right now?”
“Yes. After the fan meeting schedule is over, I will come to the headquarters immediately. “I was planning to check the choreography for tomorrow’s music program.”
“Wait a minute, CEO. “Is the fan meeting location nearby?”
“It’s neither that far nor that close. “It will take approximately 30 to 40 minutes by car from our headquarters.”
After hearing that, a good idea suddenly occurred to me, and I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Then, let’s go out and meet him.”
“Welcoming… “This?”
