You have to focus on your main job(2)
“It seems that you are really full of talent in singing. Manager Park, I heard you sing very seriously. To my ears, he was more than a real professional singer.”
“Singing is not as big as I thought.”
“You have to do that only in front of me and cultivation. Don’t make mistakes in front of other people.”
“Sometimes they say being arrogant is attractive.”
“Let’s be satisfied with being arrogant as an actor. How about going out with a humble concept as a singer?”
“Well, I have no intention of becoming a singer.”
The scenery that Lens Kwon Neung shows on the singer’s stage is also attractive in its own way.
A person’s emotions can be vastly and concisely recognized as lines of light.
It’s fun to have emotions fluctuate by triggering appropriate resonance and making people cry and laugh.
‘I think it will be possible to move the mind more complicatedly if I gain more experience and practice.’
It would be really good if you use it for acting.
However, it is a skill that can only be used on a live stage and cannot be used in acting because there must be a lot of open-minded audiences.
It’s okay to have some entertainment once in a while, but is it seriously worth your time?
“Is it because acting is more fun than singing?”
“That’s big too. First of all, I have to do acting and study at the same time, but it’s a waste of time to include singer activities here.”
“It’s too close. Then why don’t you try a musical for fun? Not now, but slowly later.”
“musical?”
Jeong Seo-hun’s voice was mixed with a moment of trembling.
“What is it?”
“Wow, don’t you know? No matter how much you’ve lived your whole life immersed in culture while telling people to die, how can you not know about musicals? So what is a musical… … .”
“A performer performing while singing and dancing?”
“What, are you kidding me?”
Ha Tae-soo was dumbfounded, and Jeong Seo-hoon made eye contact with the rearview mirror and sighed.
“You don’t even know what a musical is? I’ve never seen the show, but I know what it is.”
“For some reason, you don’t seem to have a strange image even if you don’t know anything about common sense outside of studying.”
“It’s not that tidy, though. Anyway, it’s a musical… … .”
Jeong Seo-hoon quietly imagined himself standing on the musical stage.
The more sympathetic audiences there are, the more emotions can be amplified and touched.
‘I’m curious to see how the camera power will appear in the musical unit. Is it like filming a movie, like a singer’s stage, or… … .’
The wind coming through the slightly open window is very pleasant.
‘How the two must have been mixed.’

There were far more people than usual on the indoor filming set of Hageuksang in Paju Studio.
Even Han Seo-hee, who left a long time ago, could be found.
In comparison, the actor standing in front of the camera right now was not Jeong Seo-hoon. It wasn’t even that important a scene in the script.
Jeong Seo-hoon finished all of today’s filming in the morning, and he was also in the position of watching.
“Cut! great! Thank you all for your hard work.”
Jang Seung-won finally shouted the final cut sign.
It signaled the end of the drama filming campaign, and everyone clapped with bright faces.
“thank you for your effort!”
“You did a great job!”
“Hey, it’s already over like this. It’s really sad.”
There is still some time before the airing ends, but the drama filming itself is completely over.
Jang Seung-won said that there might be reshoots, but he had a history of never re-shooting after the end of filming for the past 10 years.
“Don’t you know I have a J on my MBTI? Re-shoots are not allowed unless the film is burned. Rest assured, everyone.”
“It would be nice if the other producers did this on a grand scale.”
“Oh. We have a party today. Even if you have personal circumstances, be patient, and be sure to attend. A bus is also prepared.”
Jang Seung-won doesn’t like parties very much.
It is the position that it is better to enjoy moderately with people who are like each other and take a break at least a little.
Especially during the filming run, I don’t like to drink unless it’s a break day.
“What is it? PD-nim Jang tells us to hold back for personal reasons and attend the dinner party.”
“It’s not too serious to be suspicious. I’ll know once I get there.”
“I was planning to attend the dinner anyway, but I’m more curious because I have to attend.”
The place for the dinner where Jang Seung-won even prepared a number of chartered buses and guided the actors and staff was the W Hotel near Seoul City Hall.
The largest banquet hall was rented out and a buffet dinner place was prepared.
In addition to the full hotel buffet setting, you can enjoy full courses of Korean, Western, Chinese, and Japanese cuisine separately.
This would be enough for hundreds of thousands of won per head just for the cost of the meal.
The staff were surprised with their mouths wide open, and the actors, who are used to fancy parties, exclaimed.
“I think this would have cost more than tens of millions of won just for the meal. Wow, PD Jang shoots really loudly.”
“So far, you’ve been saving money for dinner, so you’re giving it away all at once.”
“Kh, I’m sorry for daring to criticize you for being a cheap idol. Starting today, I will reflect and repent.”
The number of actors, including minor roles, as well as their manager and staff, is three digits.
would have cost a great deal.
“Still, I didn’t pay the rental fee. I was good at negotiating.”
Jang Seung-won, who approached with a cold beer in his hand, spoke resolutely.
“If you spend this much for a meal, I asked if you shouldn’t have to pay the rental fee if you have a conscience, and the hotel side didn’t say anything and waived it.”
“If you ordered this much food and even received the rental fee, you really have no conscience.”
“Buffet, Korean, Chinese, Western, Japanese full course, and alcoholic beverages… … . Doesn’t it come out over 100 million for the real price of a meal?”
Jang Seung-won giggled and finally revealed the truth.
“Actually, this is because Professor Sejong Lee told me to prepare like this.”
Kim Sang-hee smiled brightly and raised his thumb.
“As expected, our Professor Sejong Lee. I’m not going anywhere in that class.”
“Until now, we barely spent money on dinner, everyone worked hard, and the viewership ratings are coming out well.
Jeong Seo-hoon said while picking up the apple juice.
“Then, now all that remains is to exceed 40% in viewership ratings?”
“That’s right. Still, I’d like to skip it before the end… … .”
“That bastard’s wall of wailing doesn’t come down very easily.”
Kim Sang-hee grumbled.
Currently, the viewership rating for the drama was barely above 38%.
Even that alone was unprecedented in cable TV, and it was a great feat that may never happen again.
Even when CV Cable aired, it was in a festive mood, saying that it was the biggest achievement since its foundation, but these days, the drama department was even louder than the planning headquarters.
“There’s a lot of editing left to do for the rest of the year, but for the production crew, it’s practically over.”
“Then, should we talk about the next project?”
Kim Sang-hee said meaningfully and winked.
“What are you going to do with the megaphone? Do you still have regrets?”
Originally, Jang Seung-won wanted to hold the tentatively named ‘Romantic Engineering College’ megaphone.
However, he himself admitted that Song Jeong-woo was better than him in terms of directing.
Above all, in the early days of the company’s establishment, Jang Seung-won had many things to do as a co-manager and head of production, other than directing.
“I’m going to leave Team 1 PD to Song PD.”
“Look at how sorry our Jang PD-nim is. Don’t be too upset.”
“I also wanted to direct because the romantic engineering school script was interesting, but I’ve only been working on historical dramas for so long, so it would be better to make concessions this time.”
Jeong Seo-hoon asked.
“By the way, if you say team 1 producers, are there also team 2 producers?”
“I’m going to go with a two-team system. Oh, it’s not that I’m doing it, I’m going to entrust Kim Hyun-tae’s AD friend to shoot the 2nd team.”
“I think you’re going to entrust the low-profile scenes to Kim Hyun-tae’s AD.”
“It’s not like it’s a patchwork shoot, it’s going to be a two-team system from the beginning. Song PD might not be willing to do it, but he has no choice but to speed it up. Song PD has to be patient.”
“You’re not trying to annoy my upset and mean heart, are you?”
“There is absolutely no selfishness. It was a decision I made as an executive producer.”
Kim Sang-hee asked mischievously, and Jang Seung-won answered with a single knife without wavering.
“And it’s been said a few times before, but I’m seriously asking… … .”
Jang Seung-won carefully looked at Jeong Seo-hun’s eyes and brought out the words he had prepared.
“To make it into a field of flowers by having all the actresses Seo-Hoon Jeong co-star appear in.”
“Ah, that’s it.”
“I’m thinking of going with the concept of a bad boy who puts Professor Seo Hoon’s role as the alpha male and makes the four women lose their minds. I also talked to the writer.”
“By the way, the main audience for dramas are housewives and women, right? Wouldn’t it be a bit difficult for women to immerse themselves in that way?”
“No.”
Kim Sang-hee stepped forward as if determined.
“Female fans can choose the female characters they want to support and let them immerse themselves in them. For example, a viewer who is immersed in Yoo Jung-ah becomes a winner in the love game as if he were Yoo Jung-ah, and develops a desire to win Jeong Seo-hoon.”
“I think it’s a good direction. Male viewers are also selectively immersed in Seo Hoon or Cha Do Jin, respectively, so that they can enjoy romance and romance.”
“That’s why Seo Hoon’s role is important. He’s a really bad guy, but I have to show him that alpha male that I can’t resist. Are you confident?”
“But I don’t have much experience with that kind of thing… … .”
“You just have to do what you normally do to the actresses who are hanging around right now. Good job, what?”
“… … .”
“Since we are gathering all the actresses who have been scandalized in real life and fighting Seo-Hoon Jeong, I think there will be a topic.”
That was the biggest reason.
It was judged that the freshness of the combination between actors was topical enough to break down concerns that viewers might get tired of it and decide to cast.
“But I’m a little worried that if we put all the actresses who have recently been involved in a scandal, Seo Hoon-ssi will feel burdened.”
“Han Seo-hee hasn’t had a scandal yet.”
“Looking at what that friend is doing, I think it will come out someday. Timing matters.”
“… … .”
Kim Sang-hee said it quickly, and Jang Seung-won laughed, knowing that it was rude.
“do whatever you want. As long as the work is fun and the ratings are good, I don’t care. I don’t care about the reaction on the internet anyway.”
“Instead, teacher Lee Min-soo decided to politely decline this time. I’ve already filmed with Seo Hoon three times in a row, and when it comes out again, it feels like the previous works. And this time, among the idols again… … .”
Jang Seung-won recited the names of actors and idols he had in mind.
It seems like they are not giving Song Jung-woo the right to choose casting at all.
From the moment he received the script, he also wanted to hold a megaphone, so he decided in his heart the actors he wanted to appear in.
Seeing Kim Sang-hee nodded her head, she seemed to think that she was a perfect candidate for her image.
“Well, for now, that’s about it. We’ll talk about it next time. It’s a drama ending ceremony, but it’s a bit like talking about new works.”
“Anyway, if the top performers listened to it, they would feel a little alienated. By the way, Mr. Seohun.”
“Yes.”
“Are you really going to debut as a singer?”
Jeong Seo-hoon let out a laugh as if it was absurd.
“no. Where did you hear that?”
“You know. Rumors of this floor are fast. After Seo Hoon recorded the OST event, rumors spread that he would debut as a singer soon.”
“I prefer acting. I will focus on the actors.”
“Yes. Don’t act like a singer for nothing. If one after another hits the jackpot and the music bills come in, I’m afraid that I won’t act because I like it.”
“I don’t think that will happen.”
“I’ll make you pay more in the future, so don’t even go there. You have to learn with that physicality and that acting ability, and being a singer is an international waste.”
