For Muse (2)
“It went well because Director Hwang blew the cake in the first place. Now Seo Hoon’s ransom is S-level. This floor is like this. It’s easy to put it up once, but hard to get it down.”
As soon as I woke up a little bit, I went back to my original tone.
Kim Sang-hee enjoyed the rise in Jeong Seo-hoon’s ransom as if it were his own.
“Depending on how the movie was chosen, I was going to close my eyes and pay up to 5,000 in appearance fees, but I heard that I signed a contract with S-class treatment until my next film. I can also sing 150 million comfortably. Mr. Seo Hoon’s ransom.”
“Are you talking about it already?”
“Yes. We are only adjusting the conditions in two or three places. You just have to decide where to go.”
“Is it cable or terrestrial?”
“well. Either way, I’m thinking of going the way of paying a lot of production costs. It’s been a while since I was arguing about whether it was cable or terrestrial.”
The confidence that only a star writer can have shines brilliantly.
It’s almost to the point where I wonder if Kim Sang-hee doesn’t even know the words of trials or adversity.
“Until then, Seo Hoon is also off the record, you know?”
“Yes. All right.”
“If you want to use an actor other than Seo Hoon for the main character, I won’t talk about it any more.”
“Can I hear what the work is about?”
“It’s not my style to expose everything at once.”
“I will drink and listen.”
When Jeong Seo-hun seriously raised the glass with both hands, Kim Sang-hee laughed.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Seo Hoon so anxious. If Yoo Jung-ah finds out, she will explode with jealousy.”
“Writer, I’m really in a hurry.”
“I’ll let you know when production is finalized, so just be patient until then. Thirst builds up a bit, so there are more things to explode when acting. isn’t it?”
Jeong Seo-hoon had to forcefully suppress his restless lack of a camera.
“All right. Instead, when production is confirmed, let me know immediately then. I am curious.”
“How could someone like this live without watching a single drama for 20 years?”
Jeong Seo-hun asked after quenching his burning thirst with a glass of alcohol.
“By the way, writer-nim, I heard that you originally only wrote 12 episodes, but this time is it 16 episodes?”
“Why do you think so?”
As Kim Sang-hee looked at him with a meaningful smile, Jeong Seo-hun cleared his throat.
“I wonder if you want to pay more for my performance…”
“That’s one of the minor reasons. Nothing stands out too much.”
“…”
“You know. Why can’t you speak when you know? Are you ashamed?”
It was difficult to express the thoughts that came to my mind right now in front of Kim Sang-hee.
Kim Sang-hee giggled as if he understood and ordered a new drink from the bartender.
“It’s a pity that I watched Jeong Seo-hoon as a muse for only 12 episodes. I want to see it for a longer time, and there are many stories I want to tell through Jung Seo-hoon, so I will increase it to 16 episodes this time.”
“Normal dramas plan a lot of 16 episodes, but why is the writer against it?”
“Because the story is too loose. I hated that.”
“…”
“I deliberately went on a strict story diet so I lost all the extra fat and made it into a 12-episode series. Sales are down, but there is an advantage that the production cost is reduced by that much. Well, but in the end, it’s my greed.”
After Kim Sang-hee emptied the new shot, he took out his cell phone.
“Then shall I call you now?”
“Who?”
“Yoo Jeong-ah. He said he really wants to meet Seo Hoon.”
“ah. This is Jeonga.”
“Why don’t you call me?”
“no. You may call.”
After Kim Sang-hee sent a message to Yoo Jung-ah, she rested her chin on her face and looked back at Jeong Seo-hoon.
“I hope that Seo Hoon and Jung Ah will have a short and thick relationship for a few months.”
“…”
“And whether the two of you are filming a muddle of emotions or remain cool friends in the future, I hope you shake it off quickly and part ways gracefully.”
“Why?”
“Then Seo Hoon’s acting will be tempered more. Of course, it is still complete. It’s fun to watch from the side.”
Jeong Seo-hoon stopped laughing.
Song Jeong-woo, Kim Sang-hee, and even Hwang In-joon.
I wondered if all the people who produce, plan, and direct a work have that kind of side.
The three are completely different, yet remarkably similar.
“I know you have bad taste.”
“I didn’t think so.”
“So it’s a secret from Jung-ah. you know? But even if Jung-ah knows this, I won’t get angry. Because that’s who he is.”
“Did you call me now to connect with Jung-ah because of that feeling?”
“Oh, isn’t it? It’s boring when it’s just the two of us. It’s good to have a lot of people. If possible, putting good men and women together makes me happy.”
Kim Sang-hee laughed heartily.
“If the two of us continue to drink even after the project is over, I will become a strange woman. New actors who are much younger than the age of ten, and popular writers, are trying to beat and eat them.”
“No one would think like that.”
“A lot of people think that way. That’s why Jung-ah must be there.”
“Our scandal has not yet been resolved and is in a state of fizzle.”
“It’s okay because I have it. The combination of these three is perfect to prevent misunderstandings from others.”
Yoo Jung-ah arrived at the bar earlier than expected.
She was wearing a red sleeveless blouse that emphasized her slim waist and short beige shorts.

Naturally, sitting with Jeong Seo-hoon between them, she spoke in a snarky way.
“Isn’t that too much? How can you not make time for a drink?”
“You know. I’ve been a bit busy.”
“No matter how busy you are, men are the ones who make time for you if you feel like it. Didn’t you want to drink with me?”
“It can’t be. I’ve been really busy. That’s it.”
“I should have been a writer instead of an actor. Then I would have grabbed it and shook it.”
Kim Sang-hee laughs silently from the other side.
Before I knew it, Kim Sang-hee was sipping a drink without saying anything, and just staring at this direction.
It looked like a teacher’s expression happily watching a couple of kindergarten students play house, or it looked like an artistic perversion trying to squeeze inspiration from even the grainy ingredient label on a snack bag.
“Are you really twenty-one?”
“Yes.”
“I was surprised when I heard that. I really couldn’t have imagined it. The way he speaks and his actions have so much weight, I thought it wasn’t to that extent…”
Yoo Jeong-ah muttered as she let out a sigh as if about to collapse.
“From now on, I will have to take more serious care of my skin…”

Eoyoung and Booyeong surpassed 13 million viewers without Jeong Seo-hoon’s pledge.
Soo-ryun didn’t say anything anymore.
“Coming to think of it, it might be a bit funny to make a promise to a supporting role, not a lead role. The promise of ten million will appear as the lead role in the sequel.”
“I might not even do that. I can’t do that because I’m shy.”
“Oh, I think my ears are already full of pus. What do you do with this?”
“Looking at it black and full of ooze, it looks like older sister’s sebum.”
“A rotten bastard.”
If they were a little more greedy and dragged on the screenings, it could have exceeded 14 million.
However, it was gradually said that the film was monopolizing the screen too much because it was obsessed with records, and the trend of increasing the number of audiences was significantly reduced, so it was decided to end the screening in the end.
Ahead of the final screening, the mother brought her father to the 22nd viewing.
“Mom and Dad don’t have much fun, but aren’t they too harsh?”
“No, I’m fine. I can’t even come to Korea well, so I have to provide service even at times like this. I’m glad your mom didn’t cry except for the first day though.”
“Mom, did you cry again? No, where is the scene where you cry again?”
“At that time, I just knew that Chani died at the end, and I shed tears without knowing it. But I’m glad you’re alive. So don’t cry anymore.”
His mother held Jeong Seo-hoon’s hand tightly and urged him with firm eyes.
“Chan. Sujin Kim You must catch that and take revenge. Understand?”
“It depends on the script, that.”
“What happens in the sequel? You’re sure to get revenge, right?”
“I don’t know anything either.”
The mother looked back at Jeong Su-ryun.
“Ah, soryeonah. What happened to Seo Hoon’s agency?”
“Well, I was going to take a look at the conditions while meeting slowly, but I suddenly went into the storage room. That’s why it’s been delayed until now, well.”
“Since Seo Hoon jumped the ransom, can’t he do it on better terms?”
“So I’m going to call a 9:1. But are you going to film a CF?”
“I have no idea.”
“A fan meeting? What about entertainment? An autograph session?”
“Does an actor have to do something like that?”
“Because I’m learning, I have to do something like that. Hey, when a singer is successful, it’s a real event or a sound source, so even if he stays still, money rolls in, but he’s not an actor. When I am not working, I have to shoot a lot of CFs.”
“Soo-ryun, you mean that the agency takes care of all of that, right?”
“That’s why we have an agency. But if you’re not going to do those things, you don’t think there’s any need to sign a contract right away, right?”
My father had slipped away before I knew it and was widening the distance, and my mother said as if she was a little frustrated.
“Still, if you want to ask about things like casting for a project, you have to have an agency. It is said that they are shooting a sequel, but at what age do they enter it? It will take years.”
“Uh, I think you’re going to go right into that drama?”
“what?”
“what?”
Mother and Jeong Su-ryun opened their eyes wide and looked away at the same time.
“Not too long ago, I met writer Kim Sang-hee and had a drink. At that time, the next work will start soon, so prepare your mind.”
“Awesome. What is the performance fee? Didn’t you hear anything? Ah, if production is still under planning, nothing has been decided.”
“They say that he will take responsibility and receive 150,000 per synagogue. 2.4 billion in 16 episodes.”
“f*ck……. No, it doesn’t make sense to do nothing but just breathe at home, and that kind of work rolls in on its own?”
Jeong Su-ryun’s mother slapped her on the back.
“What is there to do? There is no other child in the world who lives as hard as your brother.”
“It’s not that the kid is working hard to be honest. Thanks to the lack of genes, you can easily enjoy the world even if you stay still.”
“Your dad and I went through so much trouble trying to corrupt that gene. Isn’t Seo Hoon enjoying the world easily?”
“Wow, is this agape? But why did I give birth this way?”
“I did everything I wanted to graduate with that face, this one!”
Just as the mother and daughter were arguing again, the doorbell rang.
“Wait. Tae-soo hyung is here.”
“Soo-ryun is you, anyway, you have to take care of the agency issue. Understand?”
“There will be a personal manager, writer Kim Sang-hee will take you, I think I can find out what is urgent right now after the drama is over? The ransom will be higher then.”
“Still, take a good look.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Manager Ha Tae-soo came in a little reminded, saw his mother and bowed first.
“Sehun. I don’t know why I, the road manager, was contacted like this…”
“Hyung is just my manager. What contact is it?”
“I got a call asking me to shoot a CF.”
“CF?”
The mother showed great disapproval, and Jeong Su-ryun was also excited, so she crossed her arms and poked her head.
“What CF is it?”
“Several. There are some things that are a bit absurd, but in general, everything is good in my opinion. I haven’t made any distinctions or anything like that yet, I’ve only roughly summarized the conditions mentioned there.”
Tae-soo Ha quickly showed the details of the arrangement.
Jeong Seo-hoon took a quick look at it and handed it over to Jeong Su-ryun.

Next to her, her mother pressed her face together to confirm.
“Oh my gosh, what is this? what’s up, what’s up What is the university PR model?”
“It would be funny if a senior at Korea University advertised on TV for admission to a local university. After filming this, isn’t Hankuk University kidnapping and confining you to graduate school?”
“There is also a CF for sporting goods. Su-ryun, I like this.”
“Don’t you think it’s a concept that gives off a gangster atmosphere while holding a baseball bat and condescending, Mom?”
“no. Opposite then.”
The mother and daughter were excited and were licking the CF proposal with their eyes.
I didn’t even look at the amount.
The fact that the CF offer came in itself was strange and pleasant.
“Can I see you no more? Are you not interested?”
“No, I put it all in my head.”
“Oh right. You were the top student at Korea University, indeed…”
Ha Tae-soo paused for a moment at the awkwardness of meeting another species.
“What do you think bro? But of all of us, you’ve been in the entertainment industry the longest.”
“How many do you think are okay? I don’t think G Construction Group’s image model is bad. The price is okay, and it doesn’t exhaust your character image.”
“I will think about it.”
“Or you can get the CF again after you start a new drama. At that time, the CF ransom will go up. I think it’s a bit wasteful to do it now.”
“Taesoo oppa, I need to raise my salary. He knows everything, even at the level of a team leader.”
“Hey, don’t joke like that. Salary workers say they can’t even sleep because they think it’s real.”

KBC drama department.
Two men who looked well over 40 were sitting side by side, and across from them was Kim Sang-hee, sipping coffee.
Manager Yang Jun-gyu smiled and opened his mouth.
“Writer Kim Sang-hee, it’s time for you to return to terrestrial television. We, KBC, will do our best to serve you, so please leave the work to us. According to PD Jang Seung-won, the script fell out so well.”
“I don’t know if it fell well, but I’m sure it’s a Kim Sang-hee-like work.”
“It’s a work like Kim Sang-hee. hahahaha, just hearing this makes my heart flutter and look forward to it.”
PD Jang Seung-won intervened from the side with a slightly nervous voice.
“Boss. This one went really well. I absolutely have to direct this. If another broadcasting station steals it, I might die of arrhythmia in my sleep.”
“By the way, I have a question. Why did you leave your soul mate, PD Song Jeong-woo, to come to us?”
“Ah, manager! Do you think Song Jung-woo can direct this screenplay? Absolutely not, that friend.”
Director Yang Joon-kyu felt like his stomach was turned upside down because of PD Jang Seung-won, who ran wild.
who doesn’t know that
It is a bluff that is played to gain a little bit of an advantage in negotiations.
‘Where is this bastard doing a team kill? Aww, just snap this.’
Kim Sang-hee put down the coffee cup and said calmly.
“I think my new work, KBC, will make it the best. Song Jeong-woo producer’s skills are overflowing, but I heard that producer Jang Seung-won was more suitable.”
The moment when Jang Seung-won’s face was full of joy and Yang Jun-gyu’s eyes were filled with pride.
“But KBC is not the only answer. If you don’t want my work, I’ll stand up. I want to show it to the world as soon as possible.”
“no! Of course, we have to make it ourselves! I was just wondering why the songgim combination suddenly broke, so I asked!”
When Kim Sang-hee tried to collect the script, Yang Jun-gyu quickly got up and pressed the script.
“Boss, no brother. If I can’t catch this, I’ll get rid of that company and follow writer Kim to direct it.”
“Writer! Please give us this piece! I will definitely do it!”
Yang Joon-gyu opened his eyes wide and gave his strength not to lose the script.
Between thick fingers holding the script tightly, a bold title peeped out.
