Chapter 535 – #79. Yeon Hwa-Jeong’s Casting (7)
After I confessed my desire for acting to director Yeon Hwa-jeong.
The director stopped talking to me.
He said that he would do it comfortably since he needed acting guidance from the director in the future, but I knew that it was a virtue of his liking for actively participating in filming.
If I hadn’t been greedy for acting, it would have taken quite a while before the director let go of me.
‘Is not it? Would you go crazy if I showed you some action?’
If director Yeon Hwa-jung likes me and she joins her company, my future as an actress will be bright.
From the beginning, I scored a lot of points from the coach, so the situation was turning in my favor.
“I came up with an idea while talking with the CEO of your company.”
“An idea?”
“I heard there are many women.”
“… Yes.”
“From my point of view, you seem to be hiding your true self.”
“Me?”
I was embarrassed because it was something I hadn’t thought of at all.
Still, I wanted to hear what director Yeon Hwa-jeong said, not an ordinary person.
“This is something you may find unpleasant, depending on what you hear. So I was contemplating whether or not to speak. But after hearing what you said today, I thought it was right to say it. You make such sincere efforts, but can’t you just scratch and avoid it as a boil?”
“Tell me please. I think you are giving me advice and I will listen carefully.”
“Do you know why I tried to cast you? Oh, of course I’m not talking about now, I’m talking about casting offers in the past.”
I thought I was going to be cast because I thought I would be able to follow the action well because I was an idol, but the director’s words made my head complicated.
“I thought it was because of the action.”
“Honestly, your face has some share. Looking at the stage, it’s true that it’s because it moves quite quickly. But that’s it. It’s not that there aren’t idols like you at all. Of course, everyone is your subordinate, but that’s okay. Anyway, I wanted to pinpoint you and cast you.”
“Why?”
“I was convinced after hearing the circumstances of the CEO, but you have a sexiness.”
“… Are you color?”
What kind of sexy image are you talking about?
“Okay! You have an aura that attracts people. I wanted to wake it up. Are there many women? Rather good as it will help you hold the image! A man’s seduction of a woman. Who would dare refuse to be tempted by a woman?”
“…”
Considering how much I have sex, what the director felt when he saw me was not at all ridiculous.
And I understand why you didn’t want to say this.
A woman says to a man, ‘You look sexy’?
It was something that could be reported for sexual harassment.
“Women these days miss the men of the past. The style of being weak and whining these days is neither fun nor interesting. What’s more, the sexiness is gone! Sexy!”
I definitely understood what kind of person director Yeon Hwa-jeong wants the main character to be.
‘Well, it’s because the male actors were sexy when I watched action movies.’
Director Yeon Hwa-jung must have been excited, and as if giving a speech, he told me about the male image he wanted.
“A man who looks like he’ll stab you with thorns if you get close, but still want to keep looking at him and getting entangled with him!”
“He is the main character the director wants.”
“… I can’t do anything else. I think you fit that image perfectly. That’s what I was trying to cast! Of course, the reason I cast now is because of the action.”
The director, who stretched his shoulders, looked at me with twinkling eyes (feigning pity).
It was a look that asked if he could be the main character he said he would be.
Trying to change the image…
“Anything is possible for the sake of the work. We will show you exactly what you want.”
I got a clear picture of what it looked like.
As long as there were numerous action stars that I had seen in the past, there was no such thing as not being able to hold onto an image and making a mistake.
“I will do my best to help, so let’s do it properly. It flattens the noses of guys who say that male action is irrational!”
Director Yeon Hwa-jeong bit his lip, saying that it was a pity that he couldn’t drink.
The reason I came here today was to read the script, so I couldn’t drink.
“I’ll meet you at the bar next time. The director decided to look at my performance, but I have to treat him.”
Haha! Because this friend also knows Dori. I like it! Haha!!”
Director Yeon Hwa-jeong fell in love with me like that.
You can’t help but be pretty when you say that you’re good at action and that you’re going to work hard to learn acting.
If the filming ends well with this atmosphere and the movie ends successfully…
‘I think it’s possible to join director Yeon Hwa-jeong’s division, which I’ve only heard about?’
Director Yeon Hwa-jeong’s division.
It is a small group of movie stars and directors who say that there is no one in Korea who does not know even if they hear the name.
Although it is a small group, people who want to join the division lined up because the people who made it up were so gorgeous big stars.
‘They said there’s nothing I can’t do if I go there.’
If you have been in contact with director Yeon Hwa-jeong, wouldn’t it be right to get as much as you can?
Controversy in the future will be able to pass without any worries if director Yeon Hwa-jeong has a string.
Even in order not to harm the members as much as possible.
I needed to join director Yeon Hwa-jeong’s division.
♧ ♧ ♧
Director Yeon Hwa-jeong gave me very meticulous guidance on acting as she had predicted.
The acting guidance taught by the director was different from taking lessons from an incumbent actor.
‘Is this kind of class different and good?’
Acting from the director’s point of view.
Acting from the actor’s point of view.
There was a subtle difference, so director Yeon Hwa-jeong’s teachings were of great help to me.
Everything was fine, but not without problems.
The only downside was that I had more than one or two schedules piled up right now.
‘You’re really busy.’
24 hours is not enough
The song I made after 7 days of frantic composing was handed over to the company and received a very good response.
No, honestly, it wasn’t a very good reaction, it was more than that.
‘You wrote this? This song? This?! Crazy you really…’
‘Isn’t that too unfair? How many talents did you pour into one person?’
The reaction of the employees was quite good, but after that day, word quickly spread throughout the company.
Jin Hae-sol wrote a crazy song.
And preparations for the unexpected comeback progressed quickly.
He said that the longer a song like this stays, the worse it gets.
In addition, things related to our renewal of the contract progressed quickly, and now it could be said that only the autograph was left.
The company accepted many of our requests, and we made good contracts with each other, making concessions in some areas.
And personally, the biggest achievement is that I came out of the company and signed a contract related to composition.
‘I did write the song well this time.’
The company hoped to have a chance to preoccupy the songs of me and Zeki, who can compose.
There was no reason not to accept the songs that were not written by the company’s artists, as they said they would even link them to the other side.
I’ve written more than 10 songs, and it’s only once or twice that I hand over them one by one and sign a contract.
How annoying would it be to continue?
However, it is not common to find people who can trust and entrust my songs.
While I signed a contract as a composer this time, I handed over 10 songs I composed this time to the company as if I was patronizing.
‘Because the members have already taken one song at a time, and there’s no way the company will make a contract for me to lose weight.’
When we release songs, there will be no cases where my songs will come out at the same time.
They weren’t people the company couldn’t even handle such basic things.
After all my talents were settled, I looked at the songs I had kept and went through revisions, so the remaining songs weren’t bad either.
The reason the members didn’t choose it was because the song didn’t fit their personal style, not because the song was lacking.
“The kids seem to be doing well.”
Even in the middle of a busy day, there is always time to breathe.
After a while, I checked the Internet to see if the Remember kids were doing well.
The steady stream of photos of the kids was proof that they were doing well.
“It goes well. It’s been a while, but they said they won first place.”
“First place? Oh, I didn’t get to say congratulations.”
“Don’t worry, I was the representative.”
“As expected~ leader!”
“It seemed like he was good at variety shows.”
“Having a career manager certainly seems to have worked.”
The most encouraging thing is that the members of Remember are active in variety shows.
The kids had bright personalities and were very suitable for variety shows, but as soon as they relaxed a bit and started adapting to the set, their true self began to emerge.
First of all, the fact that the company cares for them has changed was an important factor in making the children change.
At our recommendation, a manager with a lot of experience was attached to the kids, and the kids were much more comfortable filming as if the prescription was correct.
‘Strangeness was also a side effect of the sudden emergence of young children into society. If I had been well taken care of from the start, there wouldn’t have been any trauma.’
The scars the now-disappeared troller left on the company were still lingering.
However, I have overcome a lot now.
“When I see them appearing on variety shows, they seem to be doing really well. They seem to be better than us.”
“I really don’t have to worry anymore.”
Since male idols are in a world where once they debut, they are almost hit hard, so the failure of the Remember kids was more pitiful.
But now that things are going well, won’t the Remember members be able to talk about the difficult debut experience with a smile later on?
“But hyung, is it okay to keep being so busy? You seemed crazy.”
The members finished their individual activities to prepare for a comeback and started going in and out of the company.
I was also taking care of my schedule one by one, but the members seemed very busy.
In fact, it was true that I was busy, so I nodded my head obediently to what the kids said.
“Uh. I’m very busy I don’t know how the day goes by But it’s something I said I’d do, so I can’t say anything to anyone.”
“Even though he is very busy, I envy him.”
After learning that I was able to appear in director Yeon Hwa-jeong’s work, Joon-yi was very envious of me.
After hearing that she entered the director’s production as the main character, she received envy from quite a few people, so it was a familiar reaction.
Still, even if Juni envyes this, he is not obscenely jealous.
“You are also constantly working.”
“A screen debut is really special. Dramas and movies are very different.”
Joon-yi was in the middle of showing her face little by little with a minor role in a movie.
Wanting to go to the movies rather than dramas was Juni’s ambition as an actor.
Gying- Gying-
“Ah…”
I was talking with Juni.
The cell phone rang.
When I checked the screen, it was a call from an unknown number.
“Sasaeng?”
“It could be. Maybe not.”
“What are you asking for again?”
“Perhaps?”
“Director Yeon Hwa-jeong is really great. Who did you contact?”
“Everyone I knew about the actor congratulated me or asked for favors, and now people I don’t know are starting to contact me. I think I became a very influential person in the work because I was cast as the main character.”
I got a phone call from an unknown number, and I could be bewildered by the fact that it might not be a sasaeng, but I was suspicious of my situation right now.
‘I was cast in a movie directed by Yeon Hwa-jeong so out of the blue that they think I have a great sponsor.’
When I first got a call from a phone number I didn’t know, I thought about not answering because I thought it was a sasaeng, but I did.
But to my surprise, the person who called me was a famous senior actor whose name and face I knew.
The problem is that I was in a situation where I didn’t know the senior actor at all.
He brazenly said that he got a number from a fellow actor who knew my number and called it. Then he made an absurd request if he could give me a line to appear in a movie directed by Yeon Hwa-jung.
