Even if you come, I won’t go (3)
“Look at this. It has already exceeded 10 million views. Is it what I said? Will this attract more aggro?”
Ha Tae-soo said confidently.
Just looking at it, he had a face that wanted praise, so Jeong Seo-hoon said a word with the feeling of throwing food for military dogs after the operation was over.
“Yes, my older brother has better eyes for watching videos.”
“Even if you look at it like this, when I was an idol, I had a body that attracted a lot of fans with a lot of daily cuts.”
Originally, Jung Seo-hoon and director Jim tried to get rid of Vlog.
The reason was simple.
I don’t have anything to go to Hollywood, but I didn’t want to make fans’ heads complicated by making his existence known.
It’s like an engineer’s instinct to delete meaningless paths and simplify as much as possible.
However, Ha Tae-soo did not give up and made two versions.
‘A stimulating red taste, a soft blue taste. Try it at least once.’
After appreciating the two alternately, the father, mother, and older sister all chose the red flavor.
Jeong Seo-hoon also admitted that the red flavor version, which ended with Director Jim’s face being revealed, gave more anticipation.
‘But I’m not going to go to Hollywood?’
‘Whether I advance or not, that has nothing to do with vlogs. It’s important that a famous Hollywood director flew to meet you in person. I can raise the value of your name.’
Jeong Su-ryun also helped out.
‘Hey, think about advancing later, and for now, it’s time to build up your reputation by dragging aggro. A Hollywood director came to me in a hurry? Right away, your ransom in Chungmuro jumps up sharply, and it becomes much easier to choose a work.’
So, Jeong Seo-hoon finally chose the red flavor.
Recalling a scene from a classic movie that I watched meaningfully.
‘Yes, Neo took the red pill after all. Brother, let’s go with this.’
‘Welcome to the Aggro World.’
The result of that choice was today’s brilliant YouTube views.
“By the way, it’s so difficult to hit a big hit like this from the first vlog. If our artists recognize that this is the default for managers, it will make their company life difficult in the future. You won’t exploit it too much, will you?”
“From now on, my brother will take care of all the fan communication contents like vlogs. I’ll pay attention.”
“I get it. I won’t do anything that harms the artist, so hold on to your worries.”
“But the fans are wondering if I’m going to Hollywood, what should I answer?”
“There is no need to answer this.”
“You don’t have to answer?”
Ha Tae-soo explained with strength in his shoulders.
“When do you think the fandom will overflow with happiness and reach a lethal crisis?”
“When I show good acting in good works?”
“No.”
“When I remember the fans and give them skinship at the fan meeting?”
“That’s a story of some fans, and it doesn’t apply to the fandom as a whole. Not all fans can come to the fan meeting at the same time.”
“Hmm, I don’t know.”
“It’s time to turn the circuit of hope like it’s going to burn like a CPU whose limit has been unlocked.”
“A circuit of hope?”
“Yeah, hope drives the fandom crazy.”
I understand the context.
However, I didn’t understand why not answering anything was the driving force that turned the hope circuit.
“Look, look. You were filming a vlog when suddenly director Jim came to you. The line that you told me to cut came at the end, and after a while, the scene where you had a meal with director Jim and the manager at the hotel restaurant was caught by the fans.”
Ha Tae-soo’s face was hotter than usual.
“But the agency doesn’t come up with anything official. If we do this, the fans will become curious and go crazy. Director Jim probably didn’t come here to chat, but he must have made a casting offer, but the only source I can imagine is that the two of us ate steak together.”
“It must be frustrating because there is only context and no clues to infer.”
“At times like this, the fans turn to imagination and go crazy right before the happy ending.”
Ha Tae-soo explained that right now, fans are struggling with a huge and enjoyable imagination that they can’t handle.
“Is the appearance confirmed? what role is it? Since it’s a leading role, of course the director came to convince you, right? hero role? villain role? If you succeed in entering Hollywood this time, how much will the ransom be for your next work?”
Ha Tae-soo did not breathe and exhaled as quickly as a rapid-fire cannon.
“Right now, in the B-Lab community, they’ve been biting off Hollywood rice cakes non-stop for days. There was even a column analyzing director Jim’s tendencies. At first I thought it was some kind of thesis.”
“But what? I’m not going to Hollywood.”
“You really don’t want to reconsider? It’s an opportunity too good to miss.”
“Graduate school is as important to me as acting life. Going to Hollywood means giving up graduate school.”
Graduate school life is important as a means to get closer to the comet, but even if I say this, there is nothing to be seen as a lie to others.
“Yes, for an artist, academics are as important as acting, but I can’t help it. It’s a bit unfortunate, but let’s not cut off the fans’ hope right away.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to organize it clearly at the beginning to prevent a situation that comes back with a bigger disappointment later?”
“Fans have the right to freely run the Imagination Circuit and the Hope Circuit.”
“… … .”
“Later, if their imaginations don’t materialize for too long, the heat will subside little by little. Until then, let them flounder in the sea of happiness to their heart’s content. There are so many fans in the world who can’t even do that.”
“Hyung, it looks like there’s a story behind it.”
Ha Tae-soo said as if muttering lonely.
“I told you that I came as your manager after being in charge of a pretty popular idol. Why would you?”
“Well.”
“No matter how much the supporters run around, there is absolutely nothing I can do about the artists preemptively thinking and running around.”
Ha Tae-soo changed to a bright expression again.
“Compared to that, the bombs you throw at your fans are things like entering graduate school, so I feel very comfortable.”
It was bright, but it was still a smile with a sad memory in the corner.
“Fans, let’s enjoy it for now.”

Director Jim never gave up.
I got a call every day, and I struggled to make a schedule somehow.
It wasn’t uncomfortable to come to the lab again and again.
Rather, Ha Tae-soo said that his diligence helped raise the ransom, and Jeong Seo-hoon agreed with that point.
It was the lab’s fan slaves who made a fuss.
“Awesome, Director Jim came to see me today.”
“It is extremely sincere, really.”
“Is it casting persuasion? Anything else besides that? It doesn’t make much sense that I came here because I’m just a personal fan.”
“If a director is that big of a fan, he’s bound to stick to his work anyway. Either way, we can just relax and watch.”
“Let’s always remember the story of the umbrella seller and the straw shoe seller and keep it in our hearts.”
“I feel so good that Ha Geuk-sang is promoting today as well. Do you think the demon hunter will cheer up tomorrow?”
The fan slaves couldn’t bear to secretly take pictures, and director Jim solved the rumors that came to Jeong Seo-hoon today to the B-Lab community.
Occasionally, malicious comments such as ＜Are you secretly boasting about going to a research institute at Hankuk University?＞ were posted, but measures such as merciless deletion, withdrawal, and IP blocking were immediately taken.
In the non-rap community, any kind of buntang, aggro, incitement, fabrication, or hatred was not allowed.
“Does Jim have a movie going in right now?”
“I haven’t seen anything official.”
“Then it means that sooner or later you will grab a megaphone for a blockbuster movie. What role do you want to give the bachelor?”
“I don’t think it’s a villain role.”
“On what grounds?”
“Isn’t it because the bachelor keeps rejecting it because it’s not a villain role, but a cool hero role?”
“Oh, convincing.”
* * *
“Do you want to change your image?”
After repeated rejections, director Jim finally brought up this question.
Graduate school was an excuse, and I even thought it might be because I didn’t like the role.
Since you’ve only acted as a villain in 4 consecutive films, it’s time to worry about your image as an actor being fixed.
“no. I didn’t read the script, but I was satisfied enough just by explaining the role you suggested.”
“Sufficient can also be interpreted to mean not complete.”
“Then I will correct you that I completely liked it. It is more attractive and attractive than the role of the leading heroes.”
“Then you are saying that there is really only one academic problem, without any other reasons.”
“Yes, it is. I have been telling you that from the beginning.”
“I’m sorry. Artists sometimes don’t open up to their true feelings, so I thought graduate school was just part of the reason.”
The two were eating together in the student cafeteria.

No one sat around as if they had made an appointment.
Since there were many people taking out their phones and taking pictures from a distance, they did not even approach for fear of being photographed together.
The atmosphere is so serious that it is difficult to approach.

Neither Jeong Seo-hoon nor director Jim cared at all about being photographed.
This kind of interest was natural and normal for both of them.
“Then can’t you come over to America and shoot during vacation? As long as Mr. Jung says okay, I will fit the shooting schedule there.”
Jeong Seo-hoon could see that this was a very unconventional proposal.
From the standpoint of Hollywood, isn’t he a rookie who has just over a year old, and an Asian actor at that?
So sorry.
“Graduate students do not have vacations.”
“ah… … .”
A heavy sigh escaped like smoke from a stale cigarette.
“Then we have no choice but to wait for several years until Mr. Chung finishes graduate school.”
“After completing the doctoral course, I will probably go on to become a professor.”
“No, you are a professor? What do you do as an actor?”
“I am confident that I can serve as both a professor and an actor. The time allocation is also sufficient. It is possible as long as you do not leave Korea.”
Even if Lee Se-jong obtains access from the United Nations, the level will not be very high. There are limits to doing research to your heart’s content.
In order to raise the grade, you may eventually have to go to the professor, and you must build up your academic achievements and authority step by step.
Until all questions about comets are cleared, there is no time to go abroad.
I don’t know if it’s for a few days like an international academic event, but I can’t handle an overseas schedule for months or years.
‘There is no need to leave meaningless space.’
“Hollywood is the culmination of all media content, including movies. Korea is also a good market, but it is still a river. Doesn’t Mr. Jung have the desire to go out into the open sea?”
“Because there are things that can only be done in rivers, not in the sea.”
“I heard that Mr. Chung’s advisor and his father graduated from the California Institute of Technology. Do you have any intention of going to that university?”
From Director Jim’s point of view, it was thought to be a choice that could raise the names of both scholars and actors.
And in his view, Jeong Seo-hoon had enough skills to achieve.
He failed to take into account the fact that America does not have Comet 3I/Madrian.
“sorry.”
“… … .”
Today, director Jim was toxic.
It was not the pain felt by those who had to accept the unfortunate and difficult outcome.
It was a deep conflict in which he contemplated whether or not to reach out to an unreasonable choice that he could not be confident in.
He finally made a choice that was harder than giving up.
“I can’t promise anything right now, but if, if. So, I modified the scenario a bit… … Is it possible if only Mr. Jung’s parts were filmed in Korea?”

[Real-time director Jim Wozney’s shock proposal.wav]
-I’ll shoot in Korea for you. I will also change the scenario. Please Yes ‘do it’ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
