big topic? A major fire?(3)
“Please forgive me if it’s a little cramped. That’s what a studio is all about.”
I can’t say it’s narrow even with empty words, but I’m very humble.
Perhaps it is the humble pride that only successful people can enjoy.
“Director? Are you here?”
“Oh, Ji-tae. my guests. Just don’t mind and work.”
“All right.”
A man with wide eyes and bushy hair came out of the small room and greeted me.
Through the gap in the open door, I could see several large monitors displaying movie editing screens, and another man with a similar appearance.
“Ah, these are the editing friends.”
“Didn’t you edit it yourself?”
“I do it myself. But I only have a big flow. Even the winding of the sail line and the winch are all handled by the captain, and he doesn’t do that. Those guys are in charge of CG. We are in the process of final editing.”
Hwang In-joon led the two to a temporary screening room.
One wall, a little over two meters wide, was made entirely of white screens, and a projector hung from the ceiling.
“It’s not a screening version yet, so please take that into consideration even if there are some shortcomings.”
“Absolutely. It’s an honor just to show you. I really won’t spoil where I go.”
Jeong Su-ryun was more excited than usual.
For my older sister, who dreams of becoming a drama director after working as a producer, this position will be different and meaningful.
“By the way, which movie is it?”
Hwang In-joon smiled at those words.
“Wouldn’t it be better to watch without knowing anything?”
“All right. That would be better.”
“Oh. I need some beer and snacks.”
Hwang In-jun took out beer and nuts from the mini-fridge and storage compartment on one side of the simple screening room.
Jeong Su-ryun said with a lot of envy.
“It is a completely prepared producer space. I really envy you. When will I ever have an office like this?”
“You said assistant directing, right? You’re still young, so you’ll grow slowly. Don’t be impatient.”
Each one grabbed a beer, and Hwang In-joon finally played the movie.
Impressive background music plays calmly, and the opening video plays.
Flashy actors poses and posters intersect to steal the audience’s attention, and finally, a large title appears on the screen.
＜Storage＞
***
-You want to rob an art gallery? No, I’m going to talk about that and put it on someone’s nose?
-It’s not just an art gallery. It is an art gallery run by the hostess of the Ilsung Group.
The movie was an action entertainment genre.
From the beginning to the end, the atmosphere was always hot and exciting.
There were occasional serious scenes, but the purpose was to change the atmosphere, and thoroughly pursued light black humor.
Even the action scenes, which appear refreshingly once in a while, were neat and tasteful without any superfluities.
Jeong Su-ryun gave up on analyzing the film before she knew it, and fell in love with it as a pure spectator.
Pursuing only fun to the limit, that was the identity of this film.
-What, they say there is a lot of slush funds?
-There is no slush fund, but instead, there are a lot of artworks worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions each.
– How many, hundreds of billions?
-How are you feeling now?
-Isn’t it dangerous?
-It is more risky than most banks, but also not risky. What if I shake this off? The Gangnam apartment is not a problem. You can live like an oil tycoon for the rest of your life while traveling abroad on a private plane.
Those who wanted to rob the hostess of the country’s top conglomerate, which kept art pieces of astronomical value, gathered.
Former National Intelligence Service.
Current Senior Customs Officer.
And the current vice-director of the Ilsung Art Museum.
They promise to break through the iron walls of the storage room, which boasts more crime prevention than a bank, and share the stolen goods equally.
As soon as the title disappears, the movie, which completely steals the audience’s attention in less than a minute, raises the rpm like a sports car running non-stop until the end.
Chasing and chasing, cool action, eye-popping artwork and tons of cash and gold bars.
Money spent like water, and young, pretty women chasing after that money.
The true identity and scale of the wealth hidden by the storage, the conflict surrounding it, and the nervousness of who will monopolize the astronomical wealth until the end.
Throughout its running time, the film has engrossed the audience.
As the credits began to roll along with the ending music, Jeong Su-ryun finally came to her senses.
“Wow… I watched it without realizing how much time was passing.”
“Oh, thank you even for the empty words.”
“No, no, it’s not really empty. I really enjoyed it. Wow, the movie was really well chosen. If I get good ratings, I will aim for 10 million.”
Jeong Su-ryun’s generous praise was heard sincerely by anyone.
Hwang In-jun also felt it and shrugged his shoulders in a good mood.
“thanks. It’s a bit unfortunate. In the first place, I didn’t expect my age, and I thought it would be nice to get a 12-year-old, but I got a 15-year-old.”
“Wow, it’s really worth it.”
“The version before editing was actually paid for. It was a bit naughty.”
“Ah, somehow in the middle, something felt empty. I want to see the blue version too.”
“Later, if the movie goes well, I’ll either screen it separately as a director’s cut or release a DVD, so watch it then.”
“I will definitely see it. I will also buy the DVD.”
It was only then that the two exchanged excitement and realized that Jeong Seo-hun hadn’t said anything.
Hwang In-joon shyly asked.
“Ah, wasn’t Seo-Hoon a bit bad? His expression is young…”
“Nope. It was good.”
“He usually looks like this. Because change is not good. So every time I act, I am surprised. I wonder if he had such a variety of expressions.”
“It’s okay, so you can tell me honestly. What didn’t you like? I will be filming a movie with Seo Hoon later, so I have to give this kind of feedback every now and then. I am not a narrow-minded coach who is squeamish about being pointed out.”
Jeong Seo-hoon shook his head as he waved his hands.
“Not really. I also enjoyed it. just······.”
“just?”
“Because some scenes in the movie are similar to the experiences I had in the past. I was thinking about it for a moment.”
Hwang In-joon showed curiosity on his face.
“Yes? What scene, what experience? I’m curious.”
“Yeah. What are some scenes you might have experienced in the movie? You didn’t do anything other than study.”
“I didn’t just study for something. I did a lot of things that noona didn’t know.”
“Yeah, good. I studied roughly, but at the age of 17, I entered Korea University as the head of the electronics department, right? because he is like this If the ransom goes up later, how condescending he will be on set.”
Injun Hwang still did not let go of his curiosity.
“Seohun, tell me what kind of scene it is. It seems to have left a deep impression on me, but knowing that will help me when I am thinking about it.”
“that’s······.”
The moment Jeong Seo-hoon was about to open his mouth, the door to the screening room suddenly opened.
“Director? You are here… Oh my! sorry!”
The dazzlingly beautiful woman opened the door, then her face turned red and she bowed.
Unusual curves follow the shoulder line between the chest bones of the shirt that has flowed down by gravity.
She was a beauty who seemed to shout ‘I’m a celebrity?’ with her face and body.
“sorry. I didn’t even know you were with guests. I heard from Sanghee unnie that you are here.”
“Have you contacted Kim? Where am I?”
“Yes. You said you’d buy me a drink today. But what if you leave without me?”
“Oh right. It was, indeed. I was a bit distracted.”
It seems that women are comfortable going in and out of the studio here.
Seeing that, I got used to it.
If you dye your hair from the current brown to a gorgeous red color, and slightly raise the drooping eyebrows with strong makeup…
‘She’s the heroine of a movie.’
It was only then that Jeong Seo-hun recognized that the woman was one of the three criminals who appeared in the movie storage room.
Throughout the running time, she captures the audience’s eyes with her glamorous face and dazzling glamor line, and also has greater desire than anyone else.
It is the woman who appears as the deputy director of the Ilsung Art Museum.
I didn’t recognize her at first because her clothes, makeup, and facial expressions were different from her strong femme fatale image in the movie.
Deliberately modest makeup and outfits are probably the choices you made because you know what kind of charm you have.
It’s not a place where you have to show off to the fullest, but in everyday life, it seems to suppress the splendor as much as possible.
“But who are these people?”
watch your eyes carefully
Unlike his flashy and aggressive physical appearance, his facial expressions and gestures are very gentle.
“Nice to meet you. This is Jeong Su-ryun. I am working as an assistant in the drama directing team.”
Jeong Su-ryun bowed her head first, and the actress bowed her head in embarrassment.
“Oh, there is nothing to bow your head to. My name is Chae Ji-hyun. I am working as an actor.”
“I know. If you don’t know Chae Ji-hyun while working in the drama version, you’re a spy.”
“of course. If you don’t know Chae Ji-hyun on this floor, you’re a spy. But is there one person here who seems to have come over from the north?”
Hwang In-jun said in a mischievous voice, and Chae Ji-hyun looked at Jeong Seo-hoon with curious eyes.
“I am Jeong Seo-hoon. I am a new actor.”
“Um, maybe…”
As the top star recognized her younger sister at a glance, Jeong Su-ryun became proud of her nose even though it was not her job.
“Anyone who has a scandal with Jeonga? Right?”
Jeong Su-ryun’s nose, which looked like it was about to stab the opponent like Pinocchio, broke.
‘It’s not like I’ve seen it in a drama, why is it a scandalous story!’
Chae Ji-hyun, unaware of this, clapped her hands with her big eyes shining like a girl.
“Right? Right? I saw it in an article. Do you remember?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Jeong Seo-hoon replied while holding down his confused head with his invisible hand.
“Oh my God, I never thought I’d see you like this. I had no idea. ah! hit. I really enjoyed watching Illy Girl.”
Jeong Su-ryun almost asked back, ‘Did you really look at it?’
It was easy to misunderstand the other person’s naive attitude as saying, ‘I knew you because of the scandal, and I didn’t watch the drama, but I’ll pretend I did.’
‘Eugyu, I’m also a victim consciousness.’
“sorry. I didn’t know because it was completely different from the image in the drama. Even when I saw the scandal photos, I thought that the character in the drama was really true. It still is. wow, that’s really amazing How did you play that?”
Jeong Seo-hoon asked his sister with his eyes.
‘Is this messing with me?’
‘I don’t know either.’
“Um, what kind of relationship are you with Yoo Jeong-ah?”
“I am a friend. We are the same age.”
“Ah, I see.”
Hwang Injun laughed and intervened.
“You must be a real spy. No, how could you not know Chae Ji-hyun?”
“It’s been a while since I became an actor, so I haven’t seen many movies or dramas yet. therefore······.”
“Nevertheless it is. She is the hottest actress in Korea right now.”
Jeong Su-ryun was also looking at him with similar accusatory eyes.
It seems that she is a top star actress on the same level as Yoo Jung-ah.
“It’s the hottest, it’s not. I’m embarrassed, Director…”
Chae Ji-hyeon must have been really ashamed, and her face was bowed down, blushing to the bottom of her ears.
His personality is the opposite of his flashy visuals.
The attitude and personality that I showed in the movie storage are rather more real, to the point where I think.
“But coach, what are you all doing here? Did you have an acquaintance’s chance premiere?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Ah, then you must have seen all of my acting, right? I’m embarrassed.”
Chae Ji-hyun rolled over to her feet and covered her face with both hands, while Jeong Soo-ryun muttered very quietly so that no one could hear.
“It’s a prank, is it real? Dig is confused.”
Of course, Jeong Seo-hoon understood like a knife.
***
It was late in the morning, but the atmosphere was rather lively thanks to the new member joining.
Everyone was free to go to work, so we continued a small drinking party in the office.
Chae Ji-hyun said shyly.
“Can we all post pictures on Instagram together? I’m afraid the company will worry about me for no reason.”
“I see. What is difficult?”
Chae Ji-hyun took a picture so that all four came out together, corrected it, and posted it on Instagram.
The conversation was mainly led by director Hwang In-joon.
The job of producer or director must have been very talkative, and if left alone, he would talk to himself all day long.
Chae Ji-hyeon mostly fixed her gaze on Hwang In-joon and chimed in, sometimes asking questions to Jeong Su-ryun.
“Isn’t it that I was really embarrassed at that time? Even the sky is indifferent, why is the crane broken at this time? How much is the production cost that will be deleted once the filming is finished that day? Wait. There’s a call.”
Hwang In-joon, who was talking to himself while getting drunk again, answered the phone.
“Oh, form. me? office now. Oh, you said you called me once because the light was on while passing by? Jjasik, if you’re not busy, come up and have a drink. The atmosphere here is really good.”
For a moment, Jeong Seo-hoon’s hand stopped.
His complexion changed sharply, but no one noticed.
“Who is who? Do you know Jihyun and the drama ‘Illegal’ this time? There is new actor Jung Seo-hoon, and Illegal production team Jeong Su-ryun…. Oh, are you going to buy some beer and something to eat? 10 minutes is enough? I get it. Call me at the door.”
After hanging up the phone, Jeong Seo-hoon asked.
“Who are you?”
“Ah, my friend Yoon Hyeong-sik appeared as a supporting character in our movie. Do you remember the leader of the action, Kim Chan? A friend who briefly appeared in the role of licorice. I took on the role of working under the deputy director of the art gallery, which Ji-hyeon Chae took on.”
“Yes. I remember.”
“They saw the lights on while passing by and called to see if I was there. So if you have nothing to do, I told you to come up.”
Jeong Seo-hoon’s sunken eyes stared at the hallway beyond the front door as if he were seeing through it.
Sharper and more sensitive than others, he clearly heard the senses cultivated on the battlefield.
The voice from Injun Hwang’s phone was ringing in the hallway in real time.
“Are you sure you said outside the building?”
“He was passing by. I’m going to stop by the convenience store and buy something.”
It’s Yoon Hyung-sik’s lie.
He was already in the hallway outside the office when he called.
Why would you lie like that?
Exactly 10 minutes later, the bell rang, and Hwang In-joon moved to greet him.
A man in his late 30s, not very handsome but with a friendly smile and a friendly smile, entered with a bag full of convenience store bags in his hands.
“I was passing by. Ah, Mr. Jihyun was also here. It’s the first time I’ve seen you two, but nice to meet you. I had a good time watching Illygirl. My name is Yoon Hyeong-sik.”
