It’s right after
“Make only one good piece. Then this seat is yours.”
“father.”
“Look out.”
Cho Yoo-kyung, who became the youngest manager at KE Entertainment after graduating from college, sharpened her teeth.
The idiot, who doesn’t even want to be called an older brother, only thinks of using his status to get tangled up with an actress, but he doesn’t have the passion to create good content like himself.
‘Only one good piece. It’s easy to say.’
What is the definition of good work? A successful film? Or is it something that deserves an award? A piece that will excavate a decent gemstone?
‘I guess it’s to make the number of cases.’
This was my father’s test. It was the hope that if you stand out a little, you can get rid of the useless brother.
(Senior, do you have any time?)
While Cho Yoo-gyeong was frantically choosing a project to invest in, she received a call from Young-Chang Lee, who debuted as a director with a short film. He was a junior who looked up to him because he had a good sense and excellent directing skills.
The scenario he sent was unique. It was to the extent that I stopped what I was doing and continued to chew on the types in the scenario.
‘The screenplay is good. however······.’
Can this really be made? The main character is at least an elementary school student. In addition, the role of a disabled person with cerebral palsy.
Is there really a child actor who can digest this kind of acting? Leaving everything aside, can you get investment as a young lead?
“So, why did you send this to me?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“・・・・・Do you have any money?”
Cho Yoo-gyeong entered the Department of Theater and Film with a passion for film, but thoroughly hid the fact that she was part of the KE Group’s royal family.
There was a rumor that he drove a nice car and carried luxury goods, so he was a son of a wealthy family. So it was clear that he contacted me with the desire to grab at least a straw.
‘It feels good.’
However, this work seemed realistically impossible.
There is no guarantee that the film will be a box office success even if it is produced because it coincidentally fits well.
However, Cho Yoo-gyeong did not throw away the synopsis of ＜Children＞ and kept it on her desk. My eyes continued to wander. If done well, maybe…
“Look for an actor first. I will see and judge.”
Jo Yu-kyung withheld an answer for the time being. Lee Young-chang is a trustworthy junior, but I can’t judge with this yet.
(I found an actor!)
“really?”
(Really. It’s the perfect ‘Park Dong-hwa’ I’ve been looking for?! Senior, hurry up and see it!)
A few years later, when Lee Young-chang established himself as a director and the synopsis for ＜Children＞ was forgotten, I contacted him after a long time.
‘This is the first time he’s been this excited.’
Even then, Cho Yoo-gyeong kept the synopsis of ＜Children＞.
If only a child actor who was good at imitating them appeared, he was willing to invest his personal fortune.
So I arrived at the scene with some expectations, but there were many familiar faces. Since I didn’t receive any investment, I guess the only thing I could trust was the school-relationship.
“uh? Seniors.”
“Joo-hwan, you are the assistant director. What about the child?”
“hey.”
I remembered the expressions of my seniors, classmates, and juniors that I hadn’t seen in a long time. What kind of kid do they like so much?
“Now, can you do it from here to here?”
“yes.”
Jo Yu-kyung looked at Lee Young-chang, who spoke softly, at eye level with the child.
‘I don’t know…’
You shouldn’t judge by appearance alone, but the child was dwarf and gloomy. Jo Yoo-kyung let out a complicated sigh.
Just do the basics. Do you admit Lee Young-chang’s directing, if you use it… Jo Yoo-kyung stepped forward.
“Wait, can I play the mother role?”
“Please. Donghwa, are you okay too?”
The child nodded. Lee Young-chang, who was constantly intimidated by looking for additional investors, was confident.
Is this kid doing well? Jo Yoo-kyung sat down in front of the child.
“hi.”
“…”
“What is your name?”
Jo Yoo-gyeong, who kept talking to the child to ease her tension, kept her mouth shut.
This kid is immersed in acting right now. Since when?
The child, who had been staring into space, slowly lost her balance. Jo Yoo-gyeong, who was trying to help him inadvertently, opened her eyes wide.
“…!”
The child, Park Dong-hwa, did not fall.
Like a person with no motor skills, he was relying on a walker worn on his forearm.
Tak, tak at the same time as I stepped out with difficulty. The brace touched the ground. Park Dong-Hwa’s right corner of his mouth is distorted and his gaze flies here and there. Anyone can see that he is suffering from severe hemiplegia on one side.
“mom. Don’t worry.”
From muscle stiffness to naturally leaking pronunciation. Before long, the small hand touching Jo Yoo-kyung’s cheek trembled.
Immersion is contagious in Park Dong-hwa’s expression.
＜Children＞ is a single mother raising a child with cerebral palsy. And in the end, the situation of the child who was left alone was directed happily and paradoxically, and was well received at Cannes.
And it was a mixture of various devices that people who know how to watch movies will find.
“I am, you know.”
I didn’t give this line just to comfort my mother. It contains an ambiguous expression.
Park Dong-hwa knows that his mother tried to abandon him. It was a line that contained a bit of consolation and grumbling, as well as self-reproach and anger.
My mother is having a hard time because of me, and since I am different from others, my mother will abandon me. Why did you do that? you know i have
Park Dong-hwa’s voice and facial expression contained such complex emotions. Perhaps the audience who sees the movie beyond the camera with Park Dong-hwa’s face large will feel this discrepancy.
However, the only feeling that ‘mom’ feels here is sorry.
Staring into Park Dong-hwa’s pupils, Jo Yoo-gyeong felt her chest sway and her nose run hot.
Even though I often look at the scenario, the child had a strange atmosphere that made the other person immerse themselves.
Park Dong-hwa’s hand that touched the ball fell helplessly.
Cho Yoo-gyeong wanted to hold the child’s hand, but belatedly realized that the acting was over from the child’s expression as he stared at Lee Young-chang.
“Kya!”
“Because you’re really good at it.”
The people who were watching admired it as if they were eating a spoonful of rice soup. Jo Yoo-kyung looked at the child being petted by people as if possessed by something.
“Senior, how are you?”
“······Did you watch the director?”
“No, all I saw was ‘act from here to here’.”
“what?”
So you’re saying that’s the acting you imagined after reading the script alone?
“Does the child have a career?”
“no. I’m not a kid model, and this is my first time acting.”
“Then the family…”
“My parents are just ordinary office workers.”
“oh my god.”
Lee Young-chang made a lot of noise as if he were his own child.
A child has the talent to perfectly imitate with just one glance. I tested it in front of several cameras and boasted that I was not intimidated.
“So, senior. Could you invest some money?”
Jo Yu-kyung nodded blankly. Lee Young-chang clenched his fists.
“it’s okay! Now, if we just find another investor…”
“How much do you need?”
“yes?”
“Write down the amount you need here. No, no. all of you follow me Our company will support this, so let’s make it again from scratch.”
“yes?”
Jo Yoo-kyung, who shook off the afterglow, grabbed Lee Young-chang by the shoulder and took out his business card. This is not to be missed. It is a material that will be a ‘good work’.
“KE group…?”
“I’m second there.”
“omg!”
Have you ever been lied to? I felt betrayed, but I was more than happy to finally be able to produce a work that I had been polishing for years.
While Lee Young-chang and other alumni who would later stand out in their respective fields cheered, Jo Yoo-gyeong knelt down and met the child’s gaze.
“Can I get your name now?”
“This is Yoon Jae-hee. Hello…”
The child put both hands on his belly button and bowed politely. A smile spread across his face as he shook his head.
[Please. It’s a fairy tale, are you okay too?]
The reason why he looked depressed earlier was because of his immersion. Lee Young-chang knew that and deliberately called him by his role name.
‘If I grow up well, I will become a great actor.’
A smile spread across Joyce’s lips. this works Surely.
＜Child＞ won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time in Korea
Who is ‘Yoon Je-hee’ who received the world’s youngest rookie and best actor awards?
KE Group’s share price ‘rises’ due to the box office success of ‘Children’
Jo Yoo-kyung pushed ahead and Lee Yeong-chang showed off his ability. Yoon Je-hee improved day by day as she repeated filming, and delivered a performance that no one could fault.
‘I’ve been too busy living in the meantime.’
Cho Yoo-kyung was recognized for the box office success and award-winning performance of ＜Children＞.
Not satisfied with this, he used ＜Children＞ to support single-parent families, and to apply health insurance for new drugs such as polio and incurable diseases in children, thereby significantly improving the company’s social image.
Thanks to that, I got rid of my useless older brother and took the vice-president’s seat.
Lee Young-chang became a master, and the production team who participated in ＜Children＞ became the best in each field.
‘But that’s right, I should have kept him.’
However, Yoon Jae-hee was not there. because it suddenly disappeared.
Cho Yoo-kyung, who was in the United States on vacation to support the awards campaign, received a welcome message.
(Lee Young-chang) Let’s reopen the senior children!
suddenly? Lee Young-chang, who didn’t allow it even when he asked for it to be re-opened like that?
‘I heard that it can only be done with the consent of the child…’
What do you mean? Didn’t you say you found Yoon Jae-hee? Jo Yoo-kyung jumped up.
“I have to go to Korea. Get ready.”
“all right.”
***
“By the way, the KE group doesn’t have a separate security team, right?”
“I guess it’s because I spend more time abroad than in Korea. I heard you’re coming soon.”
Yoonjae waited for the gate to open, listening to the chatter of his colleagues.
“Here you are.”
While the secretaries of the KE group greeted Cho Yoo-gyeong, the atmosphere changed, and the bodyguards of the Wings Company stood in their respective positions and started guarding.
“Are you here?”
“Let’s go to Paju.”
I was in a hurry, so I couldn’t use the exit prepared separately. People’s attention was drawn to the appearance of the men in black suits, but Jo Yoo-gyeong moved away as if she was used to it.
“for a moment.”
Jo Yoo-gyeong, who was about to get into the car, turned to Yoon-jae.
“Why is that person wearing sunglasses?”
“Because it stands out.”
“I’m entrusting you with my safety for a few days, so why don’t you look at my face?”
I mean take it off. Yoonjay took a step forward and took off his sunglasses for a moment. Joe’s eyes changed slightly.
“Oh, that’s notable. The name?”
“I’m Yunjae.”
“Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to wear that? Do you just go naked?”
There was no impure gaze. It was just like looking at a well-carved piece of art. Appreciating and collecting art was also one of Jo’s hobbies.
“I think I’ve seen it somewhere…”
However, what Yookyung Cho focused on was not her appearance, but her sense of deja vu.
‘It feels familiar.’
And Yunjae felt that sense of deja vu as well. He glanced around for a moment before getting into the escort vehicle.
“Uh, what are you doing?”
(I’m working on a screenplay.)
“I am Korean. open the door.”
(yes?)
Doubts were easily dispelled. This is because the first place Cho Yoo-kyung stopped by upon arriving in Korea was director Lee Young-chang’s studio.
After answering the phone call, Lee Young-chang opened the door and widened his eyes at the sight of a senior in the U.S. standing in front of the house and a familiar face standing behind him.
“Kuhmm… Senior. No, what are you doing here?”
“What is it? I came here for the reopening of ＜Children＞.”
＜Children＞ Re-release? Yoonjae glanced at Jo Yoo-gyeong from behind.
‘Ah, that’s him.’
An investor and producer who came to the filming set every day and praised his acting. And he was the one who often played without getting bored.
“Have you contacted Jaehee?”
“Uh…”
“Did you find it? Is that so? where is he I must repay you.”
“that is······.”
Lee Young-chang glanced behind Jo Yoo-kyung. Yoonjae’s expression did not change even when his name was called.
‘I’m right behind the senior ······.’
