A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 25
Min Yu-ri closed her eyes and took a light breath. Then, as I opened my eyes, I started talking.
“I wish the coffee was a bit smoother, kinder and more amiable. Nothing like numbers or chemical formulas. Coffee is not made of those things.”
The first impression was amazing. How could I have thought of giving you one more breath there?
Min Yuri believes in herself 100%.
If it wasn’t for that level of confidence, I wouldn’t have dared to deal with dialogue like that.
Without realizing it, I was falling for Min Yuri.
“When I was young, when I went to the bathroom with my mom… Mom always bought me a cold can of coffee after taking a bath. They say you have to drink one of those to cheer you up – my dad doesn’t even drink mixed coffee or any other coffee.”
free from the formula. But it’s not distracting and it’s heavy.
It’s like a rugby ball that doesn’t know where it’s going, but like a missile that silently flies towards the enemy.
Transforms ordinary lines like a chameleon. But the texture is fresh.
‘It’s not worth missing out. Min Yuri.’
No, why is it like this?
The channel chose Ji So-young, and apart from that, Min Yu-ri’s acting was also perfect. In fact, if it wasn’t for the channel, I didn’t know which of the two to choose.
“I will present to those who walk in through this black and white door . . . the emotion they want and want to feel. More, more subtlely… Wouldn’t that be a comfort to people’s hearts?”
Breathing and gaze processing were all good, without any fuss until the last line.
wow
clap clap!
As the acting ended, the staff’s shouts, Jang Hyuk-soo’s vain laughter, and Oh Sang-sik’s unstoppable nod continued.
Of course, my palms were also clapping hard.
Min Yu-ri circled the stage, waving her hand and saying hello, expressing her gratitude. It even made her look more attractive.
First, director Oh Sang-sik spoke.
“Mr. Yuri, how do you show such a new performance every time? I’m really curious where the limits are.”
“thank you. Director.”
Oh Sang-sik smiled happily, but when viewed from the side, there was clearly a shadow on his face. It was a subtle difference, but I could feel it.
Ji So-young and Min Yu-ri.
I wonder who would be more suitable for ‘Chaerin’, and after seeing the acting, I’m more confused.
“I enjoyed the acting. Very nice. thank you for your effort.”
“thank you.”
Director Jang Hyuk-soo showed off his red gums and smiled as a father. As a company executive, even if either Ji So-young or Min Yu-ri became ‘Chae-rin’, there would be no loss, so it seemed more comfortable than director Oh Sang-sik, who directed the film.
‘Is it my turn now?’
Min Yu-ri was looking at me after Oh Sang-sik and Jang Hyuk-soo. But his eyes were so hot it felt like his whole body would melt.
My pulse was getting a little faster, so I had to take some deep breaths and get some rest.
Whoa~ Whoa~
And while breathing, I organized my words in my head and opened my mouth.
“First of all, I was impressed. What can I say… it’s a freshness I’ve never seen before. You showed that even the sound of your breath can become a line. The subtle time difference between the lines and characters makes them entangled like prey entangled in a spider’s web. To be honest… Mr. Min Yuri … is coveted.”
“thank you.”
Min Yuri’s face bloomed. I think my review was pretty good.
“Min Yuri, will you wait in the waiting room for a moment?”
“Yes, Director.”
Min Yuri smiled brightly and left the stage under the guidance of the staff.
Oh Sang-sik muttered after confirming that Min Yu-ri had left.
“It is raging cruelly like a storm…”
The audition is over
It was time for the judges to put their heads together and choose ‘Chaerin’.
We moved to a place where we could talk quietly between us and started the screening openly.
“Oh my gosh, you bastard.”
squeak squeak.
Director Jang Hyuk-soo shook his large body and scratched his head, and the wooden chair screamed.
“ha-“
Director Oh Sang-sik looked at the ceiling with his arms crossed and sighed deeply. And I looked at Jang Hyuk-soo.
“Ah~ Ji So-young and Min Yu-ri… I can’t tell the difference. I wonder if this is the case. The two of them are on the scales and they’re so level. There is no difference as much as the weight of a single feather. When we think of Ji So-young, Ji So-young is ‘Chaerin’, and when we think of Min Yu-ri, Yuri is ‘Chae-rin’. isn’t it? Manager.”
“It’s completely sympathetic. I didn’t expect it to be like this… How did our writer Yoon look?”
“So do I. Ji So-young and Min Yu-ri. It’s not easy because both of you showed such excellent acting. The two of them have different styles, but I don’t want to miss any of them.”
I said so, but I never thought of Chae-rin other than Ji So-young. Despite Min Yu-ri’s excellent acting, Ji So-young was not shaken at all in my determination to be ‘Chae-rin’.
“How good?”
“Which option is best?”
“I guess only the two of us should go through the second audition again, right?”
“Yeah, I don’t think there’s any other way… But what if that doesn’t work?”
“Please. Anyway, I think it will be difficult to come to a conclusion with acting…”
Oh Sang-sik and I looked only at Jang Hyuk-soo’s mouth. I was wondering what good ideas would come up.
Jang Hyuk-soo paused for a moment and immediately made an opinion.
“Why don’t we play a long game?”
“yes?”
“Are you proud of your organs?”
At the unexpected suggestion, we only looked at each other’s faces. It didn’t sound like a good idea, but it wasn’t absurd either.
“yes. It’s about showing off your charms.”
“Will Yuri respond? I don’t say it, but just seeing the audition seems to make me feel bad.”
Oh Sang-sik didn’t want to touch Min Yu-ri’s pride any more.
I’m just thankful that Min Yuri accepted the audition, but should I even brag about my gimmick? And if it finally falls,
Who will be responsible for the pride of a top star?
But my thoughts were different. No matter what, we all came this far for ‘Chaerin’. I couldn’t put everything back in place because of the pride of a top star.
“If Mr. Yuri refuses for that reason, I think I can’t help it. A more earnest person has no choice but to take on ‘Chaerin’. That way, the hundreds of applicants who took part in the audition today will be convinced of the results.”
At my words, director Oh Sang-sik lowered his head, but chief Jang Hyuk-soo immediately agreed.
“The author is right. As promised in the first place, we must be fair. If Yuri doesn’t respond to the chess match, it’s a forfeiture.”
“yes. Yes.”
Jang Hyuk-soo and I, who reached an agreement, waited for Oh Sang-sik’s answer without saying anything. He sighed deeply with a troubled expression, but in the end,
“Okay, I’ll talk to Min Yu-ri instead.”
stubbornness was broken
***
Director Oh Sang-sik visited Min Yu-ri’s waiting room.
Min Yu-ri, who in her heart wanted to bring the news of her acceptance.
However, I was disappointed with the news that Ji So-young had to fight for a long time in the second game.
Oh Sang-sik read Min Yu-ri’s heart.
“It’s me, Min-yuri, and I said it wouldn’t work without you. If we act like that with Star Power, we should rather be thankful… But the writer just said that he couldn’t give up on Ji So-young like this… He just started crying… The castle went back and forth… In the end, to keep the peace, Director Jang I recommend this long fight. If you say no, it looks like the drama will be turned upside down… So… Ah, really.”
Oh Sang-sik did his best, exaggerating so as not to offend.
However, Min Yu-ri wasn’t the only one who didn’t notice.
“The director is good at filming dramas, but did you know that he’s really bad at acting? I’m completely offended that it’s a lie.”
Min Yu-ri looked at director Oh Sang-sik, who was making a lot of noise. Oh Sang-sik was embarrassed.
“A lot of votes?”
“yes. And very, very much.”
“…So I’m directing and you’re the actor.”
Min Yu-ri laughed at the bland joke.
“But now, Yuri, I can’t tell you to do this drama. It’s not something to do with a top star. I’m so sorry. Ha~ That’s because the stubbornness of new writers isn’t normal.”
“It seems you don’t hate it too much, though.”
“Are you learning mind reading lately?”
“It happened because I was practicing acting ignorantly because of someone.”
This time, Sangshik Oh smiled.
“Well… I like the work, but I like how he is so obsessed with his work and insists on it. It seems like you’ve seen me in the past. I like Yoon Jae-ho. But that doesn’t make you proud of your long term. A lot of other great works are coming…”
“Director, what are you talking about? i will do it If you quit here, you lose. uhm. It can’t be. Let’s go to the end fairly and fairly. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a burning desire to win. What.”
“That’s right?”
“Yes, then, as long as it is a chess that can appeal to one’s charm, does it mean that it can be anything?”
“right.”
“I see. I will prepare.”
Min Yuri was on fire.
Thinking about winning ‘Chaerin’ with his own skills and being recognized by everyone.
I hope that writer Jae-ho Yoon would rethink that ‘Chae-rin’ was not Ji So-young but Min Yu-ri.
Then, manager Nam Ki-sang’s sharp voice.
“Yuri, are you really going to do it?”
“Brother, what have you heard so far?”
“Ahh, ahhh. okay. do it your way, do it your way uh-”
He sighed heavily as if to listen with his arms crossed.
***
I went to Ji So-young’s waiting room. To announce the long-running battle in the second round.
“Looks like it was close.”
Ji So-young lowered her gaze and asked, stroking her hand.
“yes. My opponent is Min Yuri, but she did well. It was a little dangerous.”
Indeed it was.
I thought it would be easy because it was Ji So-young, who was occupied by the channel, but I didn’t think Min Yu-ri would come out so powerfully.
I knew it would be like this, but I should have checked Min Yuri’s expected ratings once.
No. Even so, ‘Chaerin’ is Ji So-young.
“Do you think the author really liked me?”
My gaze shifted from Ji So-young’s fingers to her eyes. Ji So-young did not avoid my gaze.
“If I were in that situation, I think I would have chosen Min Yu-ri. Who would reject Min Yu-ri? He’s already a top star. That alone eats up topicality and ratings. In addition, if the acting is so good… Other people must have had the same idea. Except for one person…”
“no. Not so. Director Jang and director Oh were also impressed with Soyoung’s acting. The long-term match was the opinion of Chief Jang, and Director Oh obediently followed it.”
The corners of her eyes, which were drooping with worry, curved like a bow.
“yes. Then I will work hard and do my best. I will definitely get the role on my own.”
“This attitude. good. Mr. Soyoung.”
Ji So-young and I looked at each other and smiled for a while.
“Are you ready for anything?”
“What does Chaerin do best? And I thought deeply about the advice the writer gave me yesterday.”
“Aha.”
Now Ji So-young held the key.
It’s only up to her to open or not to open it.
***
Ji So-young and Min Yu-ri sat side by side on the audition stage. It was meant to be a long-running match in the second round.
Director Oh Sang-sik asked, looking at the two in turn.
“Now, who will do it first?”
“Can I do it first?”
Min Yu-ri raised her hand.
“Ji So-young. Is it okay for Yuri to do it first?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“Then, let’s start with Min Yu-ri.”
Min Yuri picked up the guitar that was standing next to her and stood in the center of the stage. And after tuning it once, I loosened my throat.
When the preparations were finished, he looked around at the judges with a bright expression on his face.
“Let’s sing it in the guitar version of Lovelism.”
!!
A guitar version of Lovelism?
Lovelism was Min Yuri’s representative dance song, which was a mega hit with her shoulder-shaking dance.
