The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 161: See you at the shooting.

Chapter 161 < See you at the shooting. >

Uh Manager.

Huh?

Manager Park, who had returned to the agency after a meeting, was busy preparing for the next meeting. Lee Taegyeom, who had been looking around for a while, stood next to him.

Do you use a cafe for drama announcements?

A cafe? Thats an old-fashioned way. Nowadays, people use apps, like Band or something.

Really? Ive never seen this before.

Why, does Snake use a cafe?

Lee Taegyeom nodded. Manager Park took his hands off the keyboard and rested his chin on them.

Oh Is the assistant director there Eom Dongpil? Hes an old-timer.

The staff use an online community to communicate during the drama production stage. Since its hard to organize group chats, they use the community board, where they post announcements about the shooting location and the script.

The managers also joined. It was more efficient to write one post on the board than to contact each other individually.

How do you know? Do you know him, Manager?

There was a rumor that Director Eom was making a comeback. I wondered where I had heard of him before

Director? Lee Taegyeom turned on his phone and searched for Eom Dongpil. He had quite a few works under his name. How did such a person become an assistant director for a rookie?

He has a lot of filmography, doesnt he?

Well, hes pretty much done now He was a bit popular back in the day, but he fell off completely because of various incidents.

I see But why did he come in as an assistant director instead of a director?

Well, sometimes people like that come in as assistant directors. They know the camera and the scene well, I guess.

He meant that he was a washed-up director who wanted to make some money by using his experience.

But what were those incidents?

You know, he was acting up because he thought he was famous. His reputation wasnt very good. And he ruined everything he filmed after that.

Oh I hope there wont be any problems.

Yoo Yeon Seo, to him? He would have been fired if he had been fired, right? He wont get kicked out. Hes got a good sense of things.

Thats what Im saying.

Manager Park then nodded his head as if he understood. Well, Eom Dongpil wouldnt treat Yoo Yeon Seo badly because of his personality, and he would bother her from the side after seeing her background. Then, would Yoo Yeon Seo just sit still? He thought for a moment and shrugged his shoulders.

Well, shes not like she used to be.

Ive been seeing some signs lately.

Really? But shell keep the line. Im more worried about that rookie director Will the shooting go smoothly?

Lee Taegyeom bit his lower lip slightly. An assistant director with a bad reputation and a rookie with some experience, but it was his first drama. The combination wasnt good. He hoped that they wouldnt cause any trouble for them.

Yeon Seo will do well, Im sure.

I hope so.

Wow I just got goosebumps.

He said that Yeon Seo would do well as if it was obvious. Manager Park rubbed his arms with both hands. Lee Taegyeom smiled soullessly.

Dont push yourself too hard, Manager.

I wish I could I have to sort out the minutes. By the way, youve been doing well, havent you? Youll be a manager soon, right?

What are you talking about, Im still lacking. Then who will run his load?

Oh, right.

Lee Taegyeom returned to his seat and looked at the staff community of Snake on the monitor.

Why didnt they make it private?

What if some weirdo joined?

Yoo Yeon Seo tried to become the character herself in her daily life whenever she had time to meet with Jung Hyunsik.

In the drama, Han Yoojun was a special forces veteran who didnt spare his body. And since he had a complicated family history, some of the fans who saw the character synopsis wondered if they could expect blood, sweat, and tears.

And one of the directors of Cheonha Action School was in charge of the action director of Snake. He would go to the action school whenever his head was complicated and pretend to know nothing about the action in the drama and ask for advice.

Time passed and the public script reading of Snake finally came. The invited reporters came to the reading site with their cameras one by one.

They said they staked their lives on it, but they invited a lot of reporters.

Do you think itll go well?

I dont know. Isnt it a quick fix because of the strike aftermath?

Well, Yoo Yeon Seo chose the work, so its not a quick fix.

Some possible ways to continue the response are:

Hey, how can you be so lucky all the time?

Huh? That guy You go inside first.

The senior reporter who recognized someone sent his junior inside. He pretended to have just arrived and approached a person.

Excuse me, arent you Director Eom Dong-pil?

Ah Kim Reporter? Long time no see. How have you been?

Ive been fine. But, are you directing Snake? No, right The name was a womans.

Kim Reporters voice had a hint of laughter, but it sounded like mocking. Eom Dong-pils cheek muscles twitched as he read the provocation.

Im the co-director. You know, theres this thing When the director is a rookie, a veteran helps out.

Oh, so thats why you came. It must be hard, teaching a rookie.

Yeah. Ill go to the bathroom for a moment.

Sure.

Kim Reporter sneered at the back of Eom Dong-pil, who ran away.

He was so arrogant, but now hes just following a rookie? Eom Dong-pil is washed up.

He had come to scratch his wound, because he had suffered a lot from Eom Dong-pil when he was a newbie.

That b*****d is ignoring me.

And Eom Dong-pil was also grinding his teeth. He actually wanted to direct Snake, but he was pushed aside by a rookie and his pride was hurt. And of all places, he met someone he knew here.

I cant let this go, I have to get a directing job after this.

The lead actor was Yoo Yeon Seo. The person who would become the owner of a large content company. If he showed himself well during the shooting, he might get a chance to work with that company.

The public broadcasting is over. The trend is OTT.

He was already imagining Yoo Yeon Seo getting him into JS Entertainment, and he inflated his dream of becoming a star director again.

Eom Dong-pil, who pretended to go to the bathroom, frowned as he saw Director Lee Seul-gi getting off the elevator.

Director, what if youre late?

Im sorry.

She had actually arrived quite early, but Lee Seul-gi didnt say much. If she argued, he would say that she was spitting on his words, that she was a kid with no manners.

The writer Kim Dae-sung, who was following behind, asked without any tact.

Huh? We came early, didnt we?

Lets go in first.

Eom Dong-pil couldnt say anything to Kim Dae-sung. He knew that Lee Seul-gi was easy, and that Kim Dae-sung had a connection with Yoo Yeon Seo.

The writer and the director made faces as they saw him leading the way inside.

Should I go to the set for a while?

No, its okay. You have to write the script, writer.

Lee Seul-gi answered calmly. She was a rookie in the drama field, but she had a brilliant career before. She had seen many people like him while working at the company. She was grateful that he cared for her and thanked him quietly.

What is it?

What?

Nothing.

And there was someone who watched the situation from afar. He was quite far away, but he could hear it if he focused. Lee Tae-gyeom, who handed him a tumbler, was startled, but he ignored it and went into the reading room.

As soon as he appeared, the reporters moved busily and took pictures. Yoo Yeon Seo greeted the actor next to him briefly and stared at Jung Hyun-sik across from him. Jung Hyun-sik didnt avoid his gaze either. They had met often for the work, so they tried to immerse themselves by looking at each other.

[Photo] Snake script reading scene A nerve-wracking battle between the two leads from the start

Snake script reading Yoo Yeon Seo, intense eyes

And that scene was captured in a photo.

Okay, well start Snake. Im Eom Dong-pil, the co-director. First, let me introduce Director Lee Seul-gi, who will be in charge of the direction.

Hello, Im Lee Seul-gi.

He introduced the production team calmly, despite the friction at the entrance. He was glad that he could separate work and personal matters well After the introduction of Kim Dae-sung, the writer, it was the turn of the actors.

Okay, our Yoo Yeon Seo, who will play Han Yoo-jun.

Our? Yoo Yeon Seo suppressed the laughter that was about to come out and stood up with the microphone.

Ill start the reading.

The short introduction ended, and the people who participated in the reading turned the script. Eom Dong-pil, the co-director, did the narration, and the actors said their lines. The first appearance scene of Son Jin-ho, and then he meets Han Yoo-jun.

What do you hear?

The line that he had practiced by meeting in advance and becoming the character itself, Son Jin-ho shouted in his mind and Han Yoo-jun pretended not to hear it as the script said, but eventually collapsed.

Yoo Yeon Seo covered his ears with his hands and frowned. It was as if he heard a loud noise for real. He could guess what the situation was without looking at the script.

You passed the interview. Youll start working in our team tomorrow.

Son Jin-ho was overpowering Han Yu-jun with his gaze, and Han Yu-jun looked stiff and rigid, but he didnt give in.

You have that ability, but you dont know how to use it at all.

Ugh!

The next day, Han Yu-jun, who joined Son Jin-hos team, received special training on how to use his ability.

Focus, and do it right.

Does this really work?

Han Yu-jun couldnt stand it and shouted. He didnt know that Son Jin-ho had an ability, and he didnt like Son Jin-ho trying to suppress him without knowing anything. He was like a son rebelling against his father.

You cant catch the culprit like this.

The actors came with their own interpretations of the characters. The reading was the process of combining them into one. Sometimes, when the expression was strange, the writer or the director would suggest to do it differently in between. But Yoo Yeon Seo and Jung Hyun-sik had nothing to touch.

Yes, next scene

The two leads performed passionately in the reading, and the other actors also became more enthusiastic and delivered their lines. They didnt even have time to drink water, and their voices were hoarse.

This concludes the script reading for Snake.

Good job, everyone!

The script reading was finished faster than expected.

How do you think it went?

I dont know much about the beginning, but the acting is already amazing.

Right?

The reporters left the reading room one by one, and Yoo Yeon Seo, who greeted the actors briefly, approached the writer and the director.

Writer, what do you think?

Its perfect.

What about you, director?

Kim Dae-sung wanted to add all kinds of compliments, but he just raised his thumb. But before Lee Seul-gi could say anything, Eom Dong-pil interrupted.

Wow Its really good. I have nothing to say.

I was talking to the director.

Are you the director? She stared at Eom Dong-pil without blinking, and he faltered. Lee Seul-gi, the director, felt satisfied and coughed lightly to hold back her laughter.

Yes, I also liked the character interpretation very much.

Then thats it. Ill see you at the shooting.
