It’s not my advance (1)
“Doctor Colliers, Mercenary Hugo, let’s do our best in the future.”
It was a verbal contract, but the appearance was confirmed.
The manufacturer will not reverse this.
The details of the contract will have to be coordinated separately from the agency, but the big picture won’t change.
Above all, director Jim was in the unfortunate position of having to catch Jeong Seo-hoon.
‘If the lead actor who plays the Mad Scientist wins the Nobel Prize, even the audience who are not interested will find it unconditionally.’
In order to achieve great box office success, it is necessary to induce those who are not normally interested in movies to visit the theater with their relatives.
It was expected that the Nobel Prize would become a powerful joker that would attract even the outsiders of the media.
“Whisky cannot be missing on this happy day.”
The alcohol that I had been quietly waiting for finally opened the stopper.
Cha Do-jin drank without hesitation with a big smile on his face.
Despite being the weakest among the three, he did not lose weight at all.
Director Jim laid out the scenario, composition, and concept of the movie in which the two actors will appear in the future instead of drinking snacks.
“Hugo, a mercenary murderer played by actor Cha Do-jin, is a character that oxidizes fiercely, leaving a presence in the first film. However, as Colliers’ flagship has changed from the former Soviet Union to Korea… … .”
Cha Do-jin’s face was full of anticipation.
“It’s a pity that the first episode exited. As Dr. Colliers’ faithful mercenary captain, I would like to revise it as a development that has been featured throughout the entire series.”
“As expected, the director is both producing and writing the screenplay, so it’s easy to revise the scenario.”
“Heh heh, if you really want to make something you want, you have to do everything from production to scripting.”
It was not an impromptu decision.
Thanks to the expanded use of Hugo, the mercenary murderer, due to the change in Colliers’ nationality setting.
However, director Jim campaigned in front of the two as if he had made corrections through spontaneous inspiration.
A bluff based on facts and probability makes one’s artistry stand out even more.
“Cha Do-jin’s mask is too precious to throw away after only using it for one episode. Instead, a new character was needed to play the role of the one-time explosion originally assigned by Hugo… … .”
“There is one actor I would like to recommend. He is a really good actor who is a waste of only the role of a catalyst that bursts the atmosphere in the beginning.”
“Are you the black ops from Beautiful Campus?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“The actor is fine too. I had that in mind. When can we set up a meeting?”
“Yes, since I belong to The King Film, there is no problem appearing.”
“Oh, such luck.”
Cha Do-jin recalled when Oh Tae-woo signed a contract with The King Film.
It’s not long since we last had a party.
Even back then, Oh Tae-woo said as a habit every time he passed the glass that he would not be an actor for long, that he would soon return to his original job… … .
‘Looks like you signed a contract. Tae-woo hyung also pretended to lose something like that when he said he was going to do this. That hyung is more emotional than he looks.’
“Wait. Lose your throat in California. I have friends who are waiting for this good news, so I will give you some news.”
“I see.”
While director Jim was away with his cell phone, Cha Do-jin giggled and asked for a toast.
“Our Seo Hoon hyung is also making his way into Hollywood on a very grand scale. A Hollywood master flew all the way to Korea and asked me to appear in it, and they said that the main filming would also take place in Korea. After all, you’re treated differently because you’re the inventor of cold fusion, right?”
“Thanks to me, Mr. Dojin was also able to advance together. No thank you gift needed. These days, when you receive something like that, you get caught in the ethics of professors.”
“Oh, I was going to pick up a nice car and give it to you, but you really can’t accept it? I wasn’t joking, I was serious.”
“The gift story was a joke, but you meant it for real. I decline in advance.”
Cha Do-jin regretted it, but soon understood it and nodded alone.
“I understand. Whether it’s a company or a politician, it must be hectic because all kinds of people gather here and there to look good. Some will accept it and some will not accept it, and then there will be a lot of talk.”
“You know that.”
“People are all the same. What is different about the entertainment industry? But I can’t really imagine the Nobel Prize. I should have been somewhere close to something like that.”
Pour another drink into the glass that was soon empty, and drink each other without hesitation.
“How is it that your complexion doesn’t change as if you haven’t drank a drop of alcohol? How drunk are the professors?”
“Simple should be good, that’s the zero priority condition for appointment as a professor.”
“Does that make sense?”
“I don’t even exercise and I have to sit down and read books every day, but shouldn’t I be able to last a long time if I have a good liver? Academic achievements are ultimately about how long you live in good health.”
“After hearing that, it makes sense.”
Director Jim soon returned with a lot of reminders.
Her face was flushed red, her mouth itching because of the bundle of presents she wanted to unwrap.
“I just called my friends. But he gave me some amazing news.”
“What if it’s surprising news?”
“We decided to shoot all three episodes at the same time. New investors are pouring in like clouds. The production cost for the first episode also increased here.”

No matter how well-proven director Jim is, this work is a new series.
Of course, it was planned to produce the first episode first and then review the production of a sequel after seeing whether it was a box office success.
I did… … .
“American investors also smell the money. A blockbuster starring a Nobel Prize winner as a mad scientist villain? That a movie like this would never come out again in Hollywood.”
Being first has an incomparable symbolism.
Especially if the first is also the last.
Actors like Jung Seo-hoon will never appear again in Hollywood, or in the film industry around the world.
“Everyone knows. Even if actor Jeong Seo-hoon continues to work in Hollywood, he will not be able to regain the symbolism of being the first. And that premium always pays off.”
“In the future, whenever Seo Hoon hyung achieves a scientific achievement, it will continue to be talked about.”
“Exactly.”
Coach Jim was delighted as he clapped his hands.
“It will be a cash cow that is constantly talked about on Blu-ray, theatrical re-release, TV re-run, and OTT, and generates steady profits. Investors are also looking forward to it, so they are flocking with their money.”
“By the way, if three films are filmed at the same time, isn’t the release of the first film delayed too much?”
To Jeong Seo-hoon’s question, Director Jim answered with a chuckle.
“I will not do that. First of all, the primary goal is to aim for a special release in December next year.”
“Is it because of Christmas?”
When Cha Do-jin asked, Jung Seo-hoon shook his head quietly.
“That would not be the case. There is a Nobel Prize ceremony in December. Although the announcement is in October.”
“ah… … .”
“Actor Jeong Seo-hoon is right. Our film schedule will be moved strictly in line with the Nobel Prize ceremony.”
“If I don’t win the Nobel Prize, it will be a big regret.”
“It can’t be. sure to ride And.”
Director Jim made a firm decision as if driving a nail in, then continued.
“Even if we fail to win, we all have a plan.”
Cha Do-jin could feel the composure flowing down like a waterfall from the master’s face.
“Prometheus, who has returned in modern times, missed the Nobel Prize due to denial by the scientific community? Wouldn’t this be a good material for a good and great scientist to become a mad scientist?”
“Ah, it would be a good setting outside of the work for the audience to sympathize with Colliers’ blackening.”
“We will also produce an edited version tailored to the failure of winning the Nobel Prize. All you have to do is look at the announcement list in October and choose a job. Either way, our film is sure to win.”
“I think the director was quite inspired by the Beautiful Campus.”
Cha Do-jin poured a drink and spoke like flattery.
Jim chuckled, didn’t even say a toast, and quickly emptied his glass by himself.
“you’re right. I envy you. I wish I could win another Nobel Prize around the time the sequel airs. Beautiful Campus, I really envy the drama director.”
Director Jim’s gaze at Jung Seo-hoon suddenly became serious.
“And one more important decision.”
* * *
“What! is that real? really?”
Jeong Su-ryun stood up as if tossed and screamed out loud. Even the eyes of a day-to-day worker in a one-room village who found out about winning the lottery won’t grow bigger than mine.
“Does that make sense? Building a new set city in Korea just because of you?”
“Daughter, what is the set city?”
“I mean that the background sets for indoor and outdoor shooting are concentrated by type and composed like one huge city, but there is no such thing in Korea. So, you can see it as a city made up of hundreds of different backgrounds needed for filming a movie or drama.”
“Didn’t I say that anything like that could be done at the Paju studio?”
“The LED wall is good for a background, but the angle is limited. Just put a very large folding screen behind you. It’s different from this one.”
“Then why didn’t Korea make something like that?”
“The market doesn’t work, the market. It’s not artificially made by spending money, but it comes naturally as the media market grows very large. Hey, director Jim Wozney says money is so rotten?”
Jeong Seo-hoon replied while stirring the coffee with a spoon.
“I heard that building a full set while filming the first part at the same time is the way to save time and money in the long run. They say this is American style.”
“Amazing, Great… … . Hollywood has a different way of spending money… … .”
“And The King Film also decided to invest in the set city.”
“Why in The King Film?”
“It’s the professor’s decision.”
Lee Se-jong, who heard about the full package set plan, said, “This will make money later,” and encouraged the active participation of The King Film.
‘Given the growth rate, Korea can become a filming location for Asian media content.’
‘It will be a great income when I visit Korea for filming in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia in the future.’
“They said that it would be a stable long-term source of income if it was used as a filming location by The King Film and also rented to domestic and foreign production companies. In addition, there will be a lot of tourism revenue. A deal that was decided after looking ahead for more than 10 years.”
“Professor Lee Se-jong said that even if he only thought about cancer, he should have started a business rather than a scholar. The angle of view itself is different. If your father was like that too… … .”
“Mom, Uncle Sejong is doing very well, but my dad is not lacking at all… … .”
It is a huge set city with hundreds of outdoor sets.
It is a major event that will change the Korean media production paradigm itself.
Jeong Su-ryun imagined what changes would happen to the domestic media market when the set city was completed, and lost her mind for a moment.
“I can just sit down and make a tolerable small-to-medium-sized movie or drama without wasting traffic.”
This will be especially good news for low-end content producers suffering from set problems.
It will be an essential facility that can save cost and time for high-end content producers such as broadcasting stations.
The King Film alone cannot make an estimate, but if the Hollywood team led by director Jim cooperates for a long time, it will become a reality.
“I think the Nobel Prize is amazing to say you’re going to move the whole thing to watch the filming.”
“Don’t be envious. If this plan goes well, my sister will benefit greatly.”
“Still, envy is envy. I really thought you would go to Hollywood one day, but I didn’t know you would do it this way.”
“This is something I say especially to my sister.”
Jeong Seo-hun came in front of her eyes, grabbed Jeong Su-ryun’s ears, and brought them closer to her mouth.
To say something that no one other than my sister, not even my mother, should have heard.
“I am not going to Hollywood. Hollywood is making inroads on me.”
At the low whisper, Jung Soo-ryun screamed with goosebumps all over her body.
“Wow! f*ck you, mom! Do you know what this bastard was arguing about right now? Mom, you must hear this! Wow, really! you really! Fans are real! Wow!”
“Seo Hoon-ah, what did you say, is your sister like that?”
“Thanks to my older sister, I was grateful to have learned about the life of an actor, and I said that I would show a good side of myself and do well in the future, but that’s it. It looks like chicken meat is sprouting. I guess I just said it.”
“Ugh, anyway, Soo-ryun, you should resemble your younger brother as an adult, at least half-half. If your younger sister says something like that first, you should know how to accept it with a bit more maturity.”
“mom! You’re cheating on him now! You really need to hear what he just said he was arrogant about! Wow, I really thought I was dying!”

No one will believe Jeong Su-ryun’s desperate innocence. That is the fate that the older sister must walk on.
