You are good at joking.
‘As expected, it’s a masterpiece if you look at it again.’
Lee Seo-won left the cinema with a sad face. Today was the last day for ＜Children＞ to be screened. I watched it three more times even though it was re-released.
‘what a waste. Such a waste.’
He picked ＜Children＞ as a movie of his life, and he was one of those people who was especially fascinated by the appearance of the lead character, Yoon Jae-hee.
If it hadn’t disappeared so suddenly, it was also the number one thing I wanted to recruit into my own company.
‘Where and what are you doing now?’
If you come back, I’m willing to push you. Now he has the ability to do just that.
‘Come to think of it, that bodyguard also came to the premiere, right?’
I was planning to focus on production for the time being, but I spontaneously took out my business card when I saw the unusual atmosphere behind Jo Yoo-kyung.
I found out later that he was quite famous on the Internet. It was only a brief stint as a red carpet bodyguard, and he even gained a small fan base.
‘Somehow, my eyes kept going.’
If you have that kind of presence, it’s worth it. It was clear that Jo Yoo-kyung also recognized it and took him with him.
Of course, an actor’s acting ability is important, but it can be improved through hard work. Or you can supplement it with editing, directing, and directing.
However, eye-catching images and unique atmosphere are not created by themselves. It had to be innate. And that bodyguard was born.
“Seowon hyung.”
“older brother!”
“Is Lee Seo-won here?”
When Lee Seo-won entered the restaurant, the people who had been seated in advance greeted him.
“Aww, it’s been a while. How have you all been?”
“What are you doing so late?”
“I came to see a movie. Didn’t Youngchang-hyung come today?”
“Looking at what director Lee is talking about, it looks like he came to see ＜Children＞ again.”
Everyone has seen or heard the name somewhere. The restaurant waiters could be sensed glancing, and the boss was looking for paper and a pen to get their autographs.
“Yeah, Yoon Jae-hee was really good.”
“What am I going to do for a living now?”
“Seeing that it was reopened, didn’t they contact you?”
“I heard that this director said no.”
The topic naturally led to ＜Children＞. Lee Young-chang also frequently participated in these gatherings, but kept his loyalty to Yoon-jae. He was going to keep the secret until Yoon-jae revealed it himself.
“CNU, don’t you know anything?”
“No. Because he and I have never overlapped filming.”
If everyone knew how to find it like this, the kite would be a bit turbo. Park Shin-woo spat out a joke.
“Here, get your new business card.”
Following ＜Children＞, while talking about the current industry and works, Lee Seo-won jumped up and handed out his business card.
“Hey, what is the company name ‘Astra’? what’s the drug name? It’s the company I’m going to work for, and it’s a good one.”
“It means stars in Latin. Our Sung-ho hyung is the star that will light up the company.”
“Am I not a star, but a sun?”
“Because the sun is a star.”
Some people laughed at the two people talking.
The influence of these gatherings of famous actors, writers, directors, producers and investors was enormous.
Its unofficial name is ‘Coke Club’ because they get together to toast with Coke instead of alcohol.
All of them were strong people in their respective fields, and many actors wanted to join this meeting because they were sound and there was no controversy.
“Hyung, then what will happen to my company?”
“Well, it’s just over.”
Lee Seo-won was the representative of a content production company that created many hits in ‘E-West Pictures’. It also made headlines on the economy by handing over its stake to a conglomerate and making huge profits.
“I had no intention of exiting. They backed off in annoyance when they kept changing their words all of a sudden.”
“This is why when large corporations jump in, everything happens. What should I do? The company wouldn’t work well without you.”
“You will be fine.”
There was no regret for the company that had already left. You should think about producing good works with that money.
‘And let’s raise a rookie after a long time.’
Lee Seo-won came up with a synopsis he had been eyeing, and naturally matched Yoon-jae to a role that had no weight but would leave a strong impression. will it suit you well?
“At this point, it’s good to start over. I also took a picture of a nice rough stone.”
“Already? I thought I would be number one.”
There were many actors who moved to Lee Seo-won’s company after the contract period with the agency was over. The company had only been established for a few months, but was set to grow in size soon.
“So, who is that gemstone? Do we know someone?”
“Do you know the bodyguard Jo Yoo-kyung has been taking with her these days?”
“I think I know…”
“I know.”
Jo Yoo-kyung must be such a big man. He is a person who cannot be ignored as he holds the right to investment, production, and distribution.
“He, is he a rumored person these days?”
“that’s right. Come to think of it, Minjae, you must have suffered a lot too.”
“You have to accept that much.”
Kwon Min-jae was also a child actor who was often accompanied by Cho Yoo-kyung and left a mark on the industry. Of course, there were a lot of bad rumors surrounding him.
However, people who don’t know what it is are just believing dirty and blatant rumors, and when I thought I was a bit successful in this version, I thought, ‘If it’s Cho Yu-kyung, it’ll be popular soon, right?’
Immediately, Kwon Min-jae overcame the rumors and became a top-class actor among actors in their 30s.
“So, did you talk about anything in detail?”
“no. I just gave you a personal business card.”
“Ah, then maybe I won’t be able to contact you? As long as he worked as a bodyguard, he wouldn’t know his influence.”
People who don’t know the industry will not know the value of Lee Seo-won’s name. However, while running E-West Pictures, he was secretly called the pinnacle of casting top actors.
Because I was so good at putting in actors, the company only took care of the actors, and when rumors spread that it was a work with Lee Seo-won attached, investors spontaneously packed up their money and knocked on the company door.
“You are lucky enough to recognize me. It’s destiny.”
“This brother is playing fate again.”
He was now preparing for a new start by setting up a production and management company. I have no regrets even if I can’t contact you. There are already many people who want to come.
However, unlike that thought, the frequency of checking the cell phone with the gaze has increased significantly.
Then, at just the right moment, I saw my cell phone flashing and grinned. I don’t know the number, but I have a good feeling.
“… this person must be lucky.”

‘It’s okay to look at it again.’
Quickly making an appointment, Lee Seo-won looked at Yoon-jae as he drank coffee with a straight posture.
Is it a habit to have an upright posture? I also like the complicated eyes that naturally make me curious about the story. It would be nice to see it through the camera.
“I know you have been casted by your agency, but how many times have you contacted me?”
“This is the first.”
“really?”
I’m surprised I thought they contacted me after going to several large agencies.
“It was unusual because the CEO alone had a personal business card, and there was a recommendation from someone I knew.”
“You seem to know someone who knows a little bit about this industry, right?”
“yes.”
It leaked a bit, but I’m lucky to have someone I know who helps me.
“What did you hear about me?”
“I heard that he has a lot of personal connections and is good at casting.”
I heard from Park Hyeon-ah that her biological father was famous for watching works well, and Lee Seo-won was famous for casting well.
It was exactly what Yoonjae wanted. A company that can put the work well. While running a production company, he has a strong network with investors.
“I don’t know who said it, but I know you.”
From Lee Seo-won’s attitude, Yoon Jae recalled a past relationship similar to him.
‘He’s probably a senator now…’
This kind of person is a person who has a clear goal and will achieve everything as much as he is confident. If you get involved in business, it will be a good relationship to rise together.
“I’m saying this because I know a little bit about myself, but I’m confident that I can put Mr. YoonJi in a project that could be done right away. Receiving this well is Yoon J-ssi’s ability, so are you confident?”
“Let’s try.”
I can’t confirm if I still have a phobia about the camera. However, I decided to break through the fact that I had already decided to return.
“It’s nice to be cool. 3 years. Let’s sign a contract with me for just three years.”
“It’s time for me to convince the CEO.”
“yes. Well, that doesn’t mean dropping it off a cliff all of a sudden. Still, I intend to give you all the basic lessons.”
Once you give a lot of opportunities. However, it meant that if you did not show your talent as much as expected, you would be left without mercy.
Giving hope and then taking it away is more vicious, but Yoon-Ji signed a contract with Seo-Won Lee’s new company ‘Astra’ without hesitation.
“The conditions are better than other rookies.”
“I must work hard.”
Since the only actor in the agency was Yoon Jae, the work was handled in a snap.
The next day after signing the contract, I stopped by a studio known to Lee Seo-won to take a profile picture.
From noble mtl dot com.
“The skin on my face is so clear that it’s comfortable to work with.”
“You have quite a few scars on your body, what are you doing here?”
“He was a soldier.”
Can a soldier just have a scar like that? The stylist, who was fixing the outfit, tilted his head, but there was no time to think deeply as the shooting time was imminent.
“Would you like to pose naturally first? Comfortable, as if you were sitting on the sofa at home.”
“yes.”
Usually, beginners work hard, but the photographer took his head away from the camera as if he was surprised by the natural pose that came out by itself.
“Are you good at taking pictures?”
“Can’t you just direct me?”
Astra CEO Lee Seo-won, who followed along with the filming, and Kwak Do-hyeon, who will be in charge of Yoon-jae from now on, watched Yoon-jae’s filming with interesting faces.
“Have you ever done anything like this before?”
“I had a brief stint as an amateur model.”
“oh. nice The filming will end early today.”
Was it when I lived in New York for a while?······ As an Asian model for a designer brand, I once stood on the runway.
He was paid quite well, and if he hadn’t gotten rid of his phobia with the help of his father, he would have been paying the murderous rent in New York elsewhere.
“Yeah, since you become a person, even if you just take a picture, it’s still a picture.”
As YoonJi skillfully followed along, the atmosphere for the filming became much better.
The filming ended earlier than planned, and the CEO, head of department, and Yoon J had dinner near the agency’s office.
“So Jay, what have you been doing?”
“Chief Kwak, aren’t you being too straightforward?”
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. These days, it’s school violence. I’m trying to find out in advance because there are a lot of controversies in the past.”
“okay. And I need to know some of the peculiarities of the actors I belong to.”
The contract is already over, so if there is a controversy, I know it to protect it.
Yunjae made an ambiguous expression. I don’t know what line to talk about. How much can I be honest?
“I was born in Korea, but circumstances came up when I was young, so I moved to the United States.”
“What is your education level?”
“I graduated from high school, and I went to school normally. I didn’t bully anyone and do this.”
“Could the name of the school be…”
I don’t know if it’s true because I’m only confirming it with my own mouth, but it’s better to have an accident in a foreign country where it’s difficult to confirm the facts than to have an accident in Korea.
Chief Kwak wrote down the name of the high school where Yoon-jae came from on a piece of paper.
“If your previous job was Wings Company, you must have been in the special forces, right?”
“I was at the Navy SEAL for less than 10 years. It is not a dishonorable discharge.”
“oh. Aren’t they the units that often appear in movies and games?”
“You will do well in action.”
This has many advantages. The CEO and manager nodded their heads in satisfaction. Director Kwak then asked a question.
“Did you often do social media activities?”
“I made one, but it’s for contacting acquaintances, so it’s private.”
“Could you check it out?”
Yoonjae held out his phone to the two without hesitation. There are no posts in the default profile picture.
“Good, good.”
“You weren’t even active in the internet community, right? These days, they even found posts posted on foreign sites.”
“No, I didn’t.”
A muggle who doesn’t do much internet activity. this is good too There are many celebrities who get into controversy through social media, so you don’t have to worry about this for the time being.
He doesn’t drink well, and since he was a soldier, he says he regularly exercises, so he’ll support his stamina.
“Are there any other special features? Whether there is a language other than English or Korean that you can speak, or a health problem that we should be aware of, such as allergies.”
“Um… except for English and Korean, I probably speak eight languages.”
“yes?”
“I am not allergic, but maybe I have a phobia of cameras. I guess I’ll have to go into filming and check it out…”
“yes?”
If you speak 10 languages, shouldn’t you go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the National Intelligence Service instead of the entertainment industry?
Also, do people who want to be actors have a phobia of cameras? Such a strong man from the special forces? Have you already taken a good profile picture?
Lee Seo-won and Kwak Do-hyun, who paused for a moment, burst into laughter.
“hahahaha! You joke well.”
“Isn’t it witty because it didn’t come out like that?”
I’ll just let you misunderstand. Yunjae laughed with the two of them .
