Episode 153. Turn Around (2)
At Choi Hye-sung’s question, An Jong-soo guessed.
“What news? So-Young Gong is the staff who is filming in Naju by any chance?”
[huh? Gong So-yeong is back too? But what about the staff? What are you talking about— I was talking about Gong Chi-young.]
“what-? Gong Chi-young is back too? To Naju?”
A deep smile forms on An Jong-soo’s lips along with the question.
“Hey, you know we’re filming on a quiet road in Bangsan-ri, right?”
[You know that.]
“Come there, I’ll be there soon.”

After the phone call ended, An Jong-su met the eyes of the bodyguard sitting next to him.
“You have to go straight to the villa. So you can’t go anywhere.”
“Hey— do you think I’m doing this for nothing?”
“… … ?”
An Jong-soo’s eyes even glanced at the bodyguard who was sitting in the driver’s seat.
“The other day, there was a delivery accident that I was going to send to the kids in Baekgo-dong, Mokpo. It’s you guys.”
At the same time, the faces of the two bodyguards hardened. Then, through the rearview mirror, they exchanged glances with each other and seemed to exchange all sorts of opinions.
“I’ll shut up, so go home. I’ll change my clothes and go out again.”
“but… … .”
“Say I ran away. It’s not like this once or twice.”
In normal times, I would have done that. But this time, the medicine was taken, so the bodyguards didn’t give it a chance. In response, An Jong-soo took out the tile he had hidden while thinking about it.
The bodyguards finally looked at each other and nodded.
The car turned on the other side of the road to the villa and headed for An Jong-soo’s house.

On the set of ＜Away: A Quiet Barista＞, I was having a smooth day.
Yoo So-hyun made coffee, and Hong Ah-jin served the elderly and children in the neighborhood as guests.
Some days, he treated a child with a scraped knee after falling while playing with friends, and other days, he held on to the bus for a grandmother who was struggling with slow steps.
Choi Yunho put on a proud expression as he watched those images being captured on camera.
Jamie Klein, who was by his side, was also satisfied.
“The picture is really pretty. And warm.”
An interpreter was speaking next to me. Then Choi Yun-ho also smiled brightly.
“Thank you for a good look.”
“It’s not like that, I really like it. To be honest, I’ve seen similar documentaries in the US, but the outcome itself is different from this one.”
It was the rave of Jamie Klein, who had discovered Hawk O’Brien and no one else.
Choi Yun-ho, slightly embarrassed, touched the area around his nose and mouth, which had become sore.
“thank you.”
“Thanks to my previous work, I wasn’t worried even when I was recommended, but on the contrary, I benefited even more.”
“… Any recommendations?”
Jamie Clay made a mistake on his face.
“During the PD scouting process, I received recommendations from various places first. That means PD Choi Yoon-ho was among them.”
“Oh, I see.”
＜Take My Camera＞ recorded an average viewer rating of over 20% per episode.
Of course, the ratings that came out higher than the dramas had to stand out, and after quitting MBS and becoming a free agent, various content channels contacted Choi Yunho.
“I am very grateful to PD Choi for choosing Tuun.”
“Because the conditions offered by Tuun were the most unconventional. It would have been difficult if not for that.”
[In the production of the program, the top of the Tunn content production center does not interfere in any way, unless it is limited to deliberation.]
Of course, the salary offered was also satisfactory enough. It was the same in other places.
However, the condition of not interfering with the production process was a condition that was difficult for any content channel to present easily.
Most of them want a program with a high possibility of unconditional commercial success, similar to ＜Take My Camere＞.
“Thank you nonetheless. Because you are making such a wonderful program.”
“Honestly, I don’t know if this will work. I have always wanted to make a program like this.”
“Do you think I will be fine?”
Jamie smiled heartily at the images of Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin, who were still being reflected on the monitor.
In ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞, which successfully aired, the two played the role of friends. It was so good to see the warm and joyful appearance of the two people in it.
“I really hope so.”
“Don’t be too humble. Because I am confident in PD Choi Yunho’s skills.”
After some more discussion, Jamie Klein left the monitor.
I found Kang-su standing with Kim Bo-ran on one side and approached.
“Kangsu, can we talk for a moment? Manager Kim Bo-ran, is it okay?”
“yes? Why are you asking me to do that? I’m fine, so take me and talk anytime.”
The representative of Ople’s content affiliate, Tuun, asked permission from one manager.
At the same time, Kim Bo-ran was surprised and jokingly pushed Kang-soo’s back and made a colonel.
Because he knew that her actions were also a joke.
“Thank you, shall we go?”
“I see.”
The two moved a little away from where the staff were gathered.
Then Kang-soo opened his mouth first.
“I’m sorry for asking you to come all of a sudden.”
“It was Korea anyway. And I also wanted to come. It was a car that I was a little worried about because I was worried that PD Choi would feel burdened.”
Of course, with her appearance, the staff at the set were shocked.
At the same time, cheers were shouted as the food truck and snack truck appeared together.
“Everyone likes it, doesn’t it?”
“I’m glad.”
“Rather than that, I hoped that the fact that I recommended PD Choi Yoon-ho wasn’t burdensome, but seeing the reaction, I feel relieved.”
“Even so, I almost made a slip of the tongue because of that earlier.”
Even Jamie Klein was genuinely surprised at the time. Fortunately, I was able to get over it and get over it.
“Even if it wasn’t a recommendation, we were considering the offer. I can’t say it doesn’t have an impact, though.”
Kangsu smiled at her answer and asked again.
“Aren’t you curious about why I called you here?”
In fact, I thought Jamie Klein would find himself as soon as he arrived on set.
However, it was only after talking with Choi Yun-ho about the work for a long time that we met face-to-face.
“There must be a reason.”
“I don’t think it’s strange that a celebrity manager called the CEO of a huge corporation.”
Jamie Clein frowned, genuinely bewildered.
“Manager Han Kang-soo is just a manager? Do you think that makes sense? As I said before, I can throw in any offer if scouting is possible even now.”
Even in the completion of ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞, the contribution of precipitation was formidable.
In addition, even in the process of solving the problems that happened during production, I had suspicions that Kang-soo had done something. Coincidentally, it was because the matter was resolved every time Kang-soo was away from Yoo So-hyun.
Jamie Klein found out that Kangsu was a person named Night River from the mercenary unit called ‘Nightwing’.
“The incentive you gave me last time is enough for me.”
“I think that is not enough.”
As much as there was a contribution, Jamie Klein paid Kang-su separately. The amount was 0.0008% of the total sales of ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞.
And the sales of ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞ have reached 14 trillion won so far.
The amount of money spent on Kangsu exceeded 11 billion in Korean currency.
＜My Neighbor Diablo＞ continued to generate sales. Of course, it was planned to be paid in Kangsu’s bank account.
“Too many. Honestly, if I had known it would be that much, I would have reduced it even more.”
“It’s my fault that I couldn’t go higher than that.”
“hahahaha… The story ends there. The reason I called it here is because there was someone who wanted to get a spoon for the shoot.”
“A spoon?”
Kang-soo explained what had happened in the early days of filming related to city councilor An Jin-guk.
As a result, Jamie Klein’s expression became colder than the first time. I was not 100% involved in the filming, so it was something I hadn’t been told before.
“PD Choi Yoon-ho tried to handle it by himself too much.”
“Anyway, yes. And they will know that Jamie Klein is here and there will be a movement.”
“That’s why you called me.”
Understanding the situation, Jamie Klein nodded.
“I’m sorry for calling you in a bad situation.”
“No, don’t be really sorry. This kind of thing happens anytime. That is why I am the representative.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
“I will take care of Ahn Jin-guk without affecting the production team. But the coincidence at the beginning of the shoot was quiet for quite some time—”
Jamie Klein, who was about to continue talking, made an understanding expression as he met Kang-soo’s eyes.
“Have you already done something?”
“Nothing. You must be busy there. As I said before, we will move again.”
Just then, Jamie Klein’s bodyguard, Matthew Bowers, approached from behind.
He was one of Hawk O’Brien’s bodyguards who had been attacked by Kang-soo in the past at the commercial set.
“There was a man who punctured the wheel of our car with a knife, so we caught him.”
“A wheel?”
Hearing those words, Kangsu understood the situation.
“I think Ahn Jin-guk has started to move.”
“Just by puncturing a car wheel?”
“It’s very naive, but they think it’s an opportunity in their own way, so they’re trying to seize it.”
“It’s not much different here than in America.”
The beginning of a relationship is coincidence and fate.
It was because he made connections there by devising various means.
“If it bothers you, you can ignore it and pass it on.”
Kangsu gave her a choice. Of course, when she came to the filming location, the choice she would make was already decided.
“If I had, I wouldn’t have come.”
“Thank you.”
“But what will happen if I just ignore you?”
“You don’t have to worry about the rest.”
“all right. I was worried for nothing.”
The two walked towards the vehicle.
There, a man was held in the hands of another bodyguard.
“First, call the police and hand him over. And are all the wheels flat?”
“yes. There is only one spare that can be dealt with, so I am looking for a center with the help of the staff, but I am not contacted.”
Anshin Co., Ltd. was a passenger, transport, and transport company, and was holding onto the vehicle side.
Of course, the same was true of the vehicle repair center in Naju that was related to it.
Of course, Jamie Clein didn’t know that right away. That is why the technique of the character Ahn Jin-guk looked naive and slightly great.
It was difficult to find another car right away, so it was difficult.
“Can I wait here?”
“You will come. All you have to do is draw the line clearly when you meet.”
“Wouldn’t that be enough in the first place?”
Jamie Klein was the head of Tuun and one of the heirs to the head of the American conglomerate O’ple. It wasn’t even a task to suppress a city council member in Korea with her power alone.
“The line will be drawn, but why do dirty guys grow up without ever learning the word ‘give up’ from an early age? Because I don’t know.”
Most of the greedy people I’ve seen so far did just that.
Politicians, in particular, were opportunists with tenacity like cockroaches. Just like Yoon Jae-seung did… … .
