What if?(1)
“I will do it through the integration of master’s and doctoral degrees. However, if the acting schedule is tight, I think I might be able to take a break from school for a while.”
“Rather than that, wouldn’t it be better to run hard for four years and get a doctorate first?”
“You can get a doctorate later, but if you can’t appear in a good work then someone else will take it away.”
“Well… … That’s right. You can always get something like a doctor.”
“I will not be impatient with my lab life and will take it step by step.”
“Let it be. What’s the difference between a master’s and doctoral degree? If you are Jung, you can pick them up quickly at any time.”
Lee Se-jong kindly consulted on the career path of his beloved disciple.
Anyway, I’m going to come to graduate school, but what can’t I concede?
What more can we do for a company that has spent tens of billions of dollars and even created a drama production company?
“By the way, Professor, didn’t you say you were also participating in the Comet 3I/Madrian Project that fell west of our school?”
“Um, it was. Jeong, I remember you were interested in it too.”
“Even the professor’s role is confidential, and you said you would find out if you came to graduate school and participated in research.”
“It was. But Jeong-kun, I didn’t know you would be so interested in comets.”
“It was amazing that a comet fell so close and there were no casualties. There would have been no one in Gwanak Mountain at the time of the collision.”
“know? It’s still classified.”
“If I go to graduate school, can I participate in the research right away?”
Lee Se-jong felt Jung Seo-hoon’s sincere enthusiasm and lightly scratched his cheek with the tip of his index finger.
“I will try my best, but it will be difficult to get permission right away.”
“Where does the permit come from?”
“United Nations. So I can’t guarantee that it will come out in a short time. We can secretly investigate you and your surroundings there. Of course, it’s a normal procedure, so don’t be too nervous.”
“That is natural. I can take it.”
“No matter how much you submit your application for admission to graduate school, I will proceed with the process of obtaining approval right away. I’ll make sure you get it as soon as possible.”
“Thank you professor.”
“What. As an advisor, you should of course do this much to your students.”
The master and disciple continued to talk about the future for a long time after that.
“When do you think the graduate school romance drama will go into production?”
“The writer is burning his will right now. As soon as the drama ends, production planning will begin immediately. It seems that it can be aired in the second half of this year at the earliest or early next year at the latest.”
“Is that fast enough? Because I don’t know how it works.”
“It’s very fast. There are so many works that are overturned after being planned for years.”
“The fact that it is aired means that it has gone through rigorous verification.”
“That’s right. It’s a structure where only the top 1% who survive can be aired.”
“Still, that’s better than ours. Only the surviving 0.1% or less can be the first to publish a paper.”

Numerous scientists around the world are conducting research on similar topics, but the glory of publishing a paper or winning a Nobel Prize goes to only a select few.
Sejong Lee refers to it.
“Jung-kun, I don’t know about anything else, but I have high expectations for a drama in which you appear. Did you say it was a live shooter in that term? I’m also planning to watch the live broadcast from the first episode.”
“thank you. I will probably come out as a mad scientist scientist.”
“Oh, Mad Scientist. good, very good That writer knows something.”
“Professor, if you don’t mind, how about making a short appearance as a special guest?”
“Well, I will think about it. I guess it wouldn’t be too bad. Still, I have to prepare thoroughly and go ahead.”
“It’s a special appearance that reflects your face for a while, but I don’t think there’s much to thoroughly prepare for.”
Sejong Lee shook his head with a gentle smile.
“No, no. We need to instill the romance of engineering colleges to excellent elementary, middle and high school students across the country, but what use is it if we only shine our faces without proper preparation?”

Another one is over.
Oh So-hee and Kim Da-hye distorted the empty beer cans and exhaled their breath.
“Hey, you know I really like The Bachelor, right?”
“know. It’s not as good as me, but it’s good enough to rub my ankles, right?”
“But why do you feel so sorry for the great army? Do you hate seeing it? Try to hear something like that.”
“Isn’t disgust an expression of extremes?”
“Hey! It’s not a bachelor, it’s a big army! Think of it as being good at emotional acting.”
“I’m not to that extent, wearing slippers during the rainy season and going around all day, then coming home and not washing, putting on sleeping socks and lying down right away, and the next day I went to bed and went to bed. For reference, toe socks.”
“You sick. If the bachelor hears it, it will hurt more.”
At the beginning of the drama, there was a feeling that Daegun was regrettable.
But at some point, when I came to my senses, I found myself drowning up to my waist in an unpleasant swamp that was uncomfortable and difficult to get out of.

Now he hardly felt sorry for the great army.
Rather, the hostile feelings he did not hesitate to reveal to his older brother and nephew made him uncomfortable with his primordial rejection as a human being.
“Lee Jin-wook also acted as a killer, but at that time I felt rather pitiful… … .”
“Lee Jin-wook’s murder still had a morally justifiable motive. Rather than being a murderer, Kim Chan was a fun and cool action leader.”
“The Grand Army is definitely something shady. Ugh, the bachelor expressed that too realistically… … .”
“That makes it even more embarrassing.”
“Aren’t these light fans equating Daegun and Bachelor too much?”
“I am worried about that too.”
It often happens in the light fan base that the immersion in the role is mistaken for the feelings toward the actor.
The expressiveness of the actor is good, and the more the viewer is absorbed in the performance, the more it stands out.
“But that is an inevitable fate as a villain actor. Let’s think good. It’s because I’m so good at acting.”
“I hope the bachelor endures well. I’m worried because I’m young.”
“Don’t you know that our bachelor’s mental titanium alloy? Worry about what to worry about.”
“I hope the next little bachelor takes on a bright and cool role. Or a role like Kim Chan would be good.”

“Appearing in a music video?”
Jang Seung-won nodded lightly and laid out proposals in front of Jeong Seo-hoon.
“Yes. The theme OST for our second half has been finalized. Baek Hyo-sun decided to include the title song for her comeback album. When I listened to it, the atmosphere seemed to fit perfectly.”
“Can I hear you?”
“of course. Absolutely.”
Baek Hyo-sun, the team leader of the agency, quickly handed over the wired earphones connected to the player.
As soon as Jeong Seo-hoon put earphones in his ears, a soft background sound followed, and a male ballad tone full of appeal came out.
After listening to the end, Jeong Seo-hoon quietly took off his earphones.
“how is it?”
“I don’t know the song very well, but I think it’s okay.”
“The heartbreaking appeal, the core of the OST of the late army, was that. As a producer, my intention is to offset the inhuman repulsion shown in drama directing with music and give viewers conflicting stimuli at the same time.”
“Now I will tell you the concept of the music video.”
Singer Baek Hyo-sun, the team leader of the agency, stepped forward.
“The music video is going to have a sad love story between Daegun and his wife as the central theme.”
“A sad love story? It’s a completely opposite concept from the drama.”
“Yes, that is the image we are aiming for in this comeback album.”
The love of the royal couple is extremely low in the drama.
There is a kissing scene once, but that is all, and the tension in the play is focused on the murderous intent and ambition of the great army towards the brother’s family.
“We will use some of the main scenes from the drama in the music video. However, the emphasis and development are completely different. The grand army eventually fails in Jeongnan and leaves Guiyang far away on the orders of the young king. You will also be separated from your wife forever.”
“Doesn’t that sound like fun? It’s the opposite if version of the hypocrisy.”
“We plan to cast Han Seo-hee and Lee Seo-hyun as well. Han Seo-hee plays the wife before exile, and Lee Seo-hyun plays the wife when they reunite after a while.”
“You have no idea how much I admired this concept when I heard it was ingenious.”
“It is the ending in which Mrs. Han Seo-hee sees off the great army who leaves exile due to a failed courtship with tears, and Mrs. Lee Seo-hyun welcomes the great army who returns to Hanyang after many years.”
“Return to Guiyang? So, amnesty and lottery?”
“no. My little nephew is considerate of me so that I can see my family’s face one last time before taking the poison.”
The ending is the exact opposite of the flow of the drama.
“Then the role of the young king… … .”
“Of course, I will cast actor Yoon Jin-won. Most of the roles will be made by casting the cast of the lower drama, or by taking them from the airing scene of the lower drama.”
Jang Seung-won explained further with a very happy face next to him.
“In the drama, the OST is released first, and the sound source is released later. It stimulates the curiosity of viewers and Baek Hyo-sun’s fandom, and after that, the sound source is released on a streaming site, and the music video is released on YouTube an hour after the end of the drama.”
“We are sure that it will be a good collaboration with the top-down drama.”
In the drama, the young king meets a tragic end, but in the music video, the opposite is true of the great army, who meets a tragic and mournful end.
This was something I was worried about.
“Wouldn’t there be a story called Sejo beautification because of this?”
“It’s a music video, how about it? And, for those who hate Sejo, it’s like an alternate history where Daegun meets a rather miserable end. I guess I don’t care.”
Jeong Seo-hoon was also convinced by Jang Seung-won’s cool arrangement.
“If the music video is released an hour after the end of the show, I can definitely plant a strong image.”
“I am confident that our company will be able to create enough issues. I think it can bring a hot reaction abroad, and I think it can be of significant help to the overseas sales of Haguk-sang.”
The team leader calmly expressed his opinion, and it seemed plausible to Jeong Seo-hoon to hear it.
Jeong Seo-hoon looked at the music video continuity and storyboard sketches.
There were capture scenes from the drama, but there were also scenes composed of sketches. It will be the scene you want to compose through the new shoot.
“Have other people contacted you?”
“Not yet. Actor Jung Seo-hoon needs to express his intention to appear in order to move on to the next step.”
“If others refuse, how will you edit the content?”
“If only actor Jeong Seo-hoon agrees to appear, we expect that others will be happy to participate. I have the confidence to convince you.”
Jeong Seo-hoon looked at Jang Seung-won and asked.
“Doing it will help the drama, right?”
“It is unconditional. It’s also helpful for Mr. Seo Hoon personally. Ah, the Han Seo-hee fandom might hate Seo-Hoon more… … .”
“The fact that the other fandom hates you just because you appeared and acted together is like a shower that you have to carry.”
“Did you see it? Even though our Seo Hoon is young, his mental strength is as good as that of teacher Lee Min-soo.”
“I think I am stronger than teacher Lee Min-soo. Consider the difference in bone density.”
Jang Seung-won laughed silently and clapped his hands a little, and Baek Hyo-sun, the manager of the agency, also smiled quietly.
“Then the two of you do the rest of the negotiations. The blind date has been arranged, so the arranger is leaving now.”
Jang Seung-won stepped aside, and only then did the team leader open his mouth.
“I will give you a guarantee of 100 million won. Originally, this should be discussed with the manager, but… … .”
“It doesn’t matter if you talk to the manager or me. I’ll do it.”
“Then, please sign the appearance contract. I need this so I can cast other people right away.”
Jeong Seo-hoon read the contract through and signed it immediately.
“Think of it as a short, sad and sad romance movie.”
Jeong Seo-hoon lightly thought that it would be okay to just do it like he did when filming the kiss scene with Lee Seo-hyun.
After signing, the team leader carefully asked again.
“Hey, this is a trivial question that has nothing to do with appearing in a music video. Are you good at singing?”
“I know how to sing military songs.”
“… … Ah yes. All right.”
