A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 27
Top star Min Yuri remembered me when she was a rookie. It really was totally unexpected.
“People are really cunning. At that time, thanks to the writer, I climbed the highway on a solid road.”
“no. I advised him to choose Jeon Sang-don, but it was Yuri who took the advice, and he worked hard on the recording.”
“Did I?”
“Even when everyone is tired and resting with one finger moving, sing and dance alone in the corner of the set.”
“Wow. But do you, the writer, remember all of that?”
“Ah yes. Actually, looking at Yuri at that time, it looks like my situation, and something like that. In the beginning, the most difficult times are what I think of the most. But now, Yuri has become a top star, and I have also become a drama writer. How good are you?”
“Ho Ho. Seeing that, I see They were both miserable back then, but now they’re quite influential, right? And we met again like this.”
“yes. In any case, it was not me who brought Yuri-san to this position, but Yuri-san, who has been working hard.”
“…the writer was warm back then, but he is still there today.”
Min Yuri’s eyes looking at me were so intense that I had to take my eyes off her. Otherwise, I think it will burn.
After thinking about it for a while,
‘this. Oh yeah. There’s no room for shame like this. Because my purpose here is clear.’
My job now is to cast Min Yu-ri in ‘Han Ji-hyun’. There was no room for it to melt in his eyes.
I calmly made up my mind and quietly talked about acting.
“But Yuri’s performance at the audition earlier was really impressive.”
“really?”
“yes. So the audition went until the second round.”
“I didn’t get the role, but it still feels good to be praised.”
“Even while watching ＜Into the Storm＞, I thought Yuri’s acting was great, but seeing it with my own eyes, wow, I couldn’t get my mind off it. I really thought it would be nice to have two ‘Chaerin’.”
“Can’t we just make one? What else is writer power?”
Min Yuri laughed lightly while joking.
‘Oh, the plate is being laid.’
He cleared his throat once and made a shameless face.
“Mr. Yuri. So that’s what I mean. Please be the main character of my drama.”
“yes?! What are you talking about? I heard that it was decided that ‘Chaerin’ would be Ji So-young right then, right away?”
I nodded my head as if I understood the confused Min Yuri.
“Of course, the main character in my first drama is Soyoung. Asking Yuri is my second drama. ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞ is a 16-episode action thriller, and the female lead ‘Han Ji-hyun’ is Min Yu-ri. I was convinced when I danced and sang on stage earlier.”
Min Yu-ri made a puffy face and barely opened her mouth.
“…then the script?”
Ah, the script.
“Ah, …that is not now. I have it on my laptop and I wrote up to episode 3. ‘Han Ji-hyun’, which Yuri will take over, will come out at the end of episode 3, so I have to spend a little more to show it to Yuri.”
Thinking about it, I can’t be so sorry. You’re trying to cast without a synopsis or script.
While contemplating for a moment ‘how to convince her’,
“Did you feel that certainty to me as much as Soyoung was Chaerin?”
Min Yuri was saying something else.
Saying that you believe in me, Jae-ho Yoon more than in the script.
“Are you as confident in me as you were in Soyoung?”
Min Yuri leaned more towards me, longing for an answer. The scent of her shampoo tickled the tip of her nose, making her feel strange.
oh! it can’t be like this during work talk.
I answered by tilting my head away from the scent of her shampoo.
“Of course. As winter passes, spring comes, and night passes and dawn comes, so I am absolutely sure.”
“That’s fine. If you’re going to use a baccomo, the next story will definitely be great. I’ll do it. The station called ‘Han Ji-hyun’. Please contact us again when you are ready. I’ll wait.”
“thank you. Mr. Yuri.”

Director Jang Hyuk-soo entered Forest Entertainment’s representative office. It was to report on the results of today’s Bakamo audition.
“Who is it?”
CEO Lee Kun-heung asked as soon as he saw Jang Hyuk-soo.
“Ji So-young, who was recommended by Yoon Jae-ho, was finally selected.”
“okay? Min Yu-ri fell and became Ji So-young? I’m surprised Min Yu-ri is not normal.”
“yes. Yuri’s acting was also good, but Ji So-young was just ‘Chae-rin’ as writer Yoon said. There was no room for rebuttal.”
“Is that enough?”
“yes.”
“So, writer Yoon not only has a talent for writing, but also has eyes to see people. That’s important.”
“yes. You should see that.”
“I don’t think I’m going to be an artist who shines once and ends. Wouldn’t it be better to tie it up to our company?”
“yes. I think so too.”
“I want to see your face once.”
“Then, shall we do it here in the representative office when we sign the contract for Barkermo?”
“Good idea.”
“All right. I will prepare like that. But more than that.”
“What more than that?”
“Ji So-young doesn’t have an agency yet.”
“okay? In your opinion, do you have marketability as an actor?”
“It’s not quite there. It is a lottery ticket that is not scratched based on the 4 principles that the representative said. He has a good personality, basic skills, and he doesn’t lose his looks.”
“The most important thing is charm. No matter how pretty you are, if you don’t have charm, you will shine and wither. Even if you are ugly, if you overflow with charm, it will last a long time.”
“That’s why Ji So-young didn’t scratch the lottery. Among the four factors, the most outstanding is attractiveness. It has a strange power to attract people. You better hurry before you pick it up elsewhere.”
“great. Director Jang has the eye, so trust me.”
“thank you. Then I will leave the issue of recruiting Ji So-young to Team Leader Ahn Myung-won.”
“okay. Director Jang, don’t procrastinate any longer and get into making a bakermo quickly. Let’s meet once more without saying anything else, the head of PBS programming.”
“all right.”
Jang Hyuk-soo greeted Lee Kun-heung briefly and headed to the door.
However, the CEO suddenly thought of something to say and called Jang Hyuk-soo again.
“Ah, woefully. Chief Jang.”
“yes. CEO.”
Jang Hyuk-soo looked back.
“Let’s meet Woohyuk over there.”
“Who’s Woohyuk?”
“yes. You have to convince me of ＜Office Battle＞ one more time. This bastard doesn’t answer my phone these days.”
“yes. All right.”
Although Jang Hyuk-soo is very busy, I thought that I should meet Gam Woo-hyuk first.

Café Blancée and its owner, Song Seon-ah, continued to glance at the clock while taking orders and making drinks.
‘The time has come for Soyoung to come. What happened? this time it’s stuck The writer worked so hard.’
As time went on, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
with daughter.
I was washing my cup in the sink at the sound of the bell, then I looked back.
It was Ji So-young.
“Soyoung!”
Song Seon-ah hurriedly ran out, wiping her wet hands with a towel. And a story I’ve been curious about all day. I started by asking questions about the audition.
“What about the audition? How did the audition go?”
Instead of answering, Ji So-young smiled brightly. A million-dollar smile that only those who have won the role can have.
“Are you stuck?”
“yes. I passed.”
Song Seon-ah opened her arms wide, and Ji So-yeong was buried in her arms.
“Congratulations. Soyoung. How long have you been suffering?”
“What is the trouble? When it comes to being like this, I think it was nothing. And one more thing.”
“Uh, what else?”
“The production manager of Forrest talked about the exclusive contract. I think there will be a company like that.”
“really?”
Song Seon-ah’s eyes widened.
Just being on the audition is great, but come with Forest?
“yes. After the audition, I was a little late to talk about it.”
“Soyoung-ah. really really congratulations You are fulfilling the dreams I couldn’t fulfill in my old years. It makes me happy just looking at it.”
“thanks. sister.”
“Thank you. What did I do?”
“no. It wasn’t my sister How could the writer come to the orchard to find me? And you said that you were so meticulous about being a stalker? It was absolutely thrilling.”
“is it? If that’s something to be thankful for, it’s okay. Ho Ho. Tomorrow is the cafe’s day off, so let’s eat outside. congratulations rice.”
“Oh really? Then I am very happy.”
“okay. Now, if you become an actor and enter Forest, it would be difficult to see your face…”
“Sister, what are you saying that makes you so upset? Even if I become an actor and get busy, I will always come here to drink coffee.”
Wii ing~ Wii ing~
During such a pleasant conversation, Ji So-young’s phone rang.
“Who is it?”
“Well, I don’t know the number, but… should I pick it up?”
“then. How many calls are you looking for now? Take it quickly.”
“yes.”
Ji So-young turned around and answered the phone.
“hello?”
– Are you Ji So-young?
“you’re right. who are you?”
-I am Myeong-won Ahn, the team leader for the Forest Actor part. I want to tell you about the exclusive contract. Is it okay to call you now?
“Ah yes.”
After the audition, I had a brief conversation with the manager, Hyuk-soo Jang, but I didn’t expect that the person in charge would contact me so quickly.
-Forest is a strong company that is contributing to the development of the Korean entertainment industry, and is particularly strong towards actors. If you join Forest as your first agency, you will never be disappointed.
“yes. I know. I know everything.”
-Then, shall we meet and talk in detail? I think the phone has its limits. How about tomorrow morning?
“Is it tomorrow morning? Yes. That will be fine.”
Ji So-young gladly agreed to it, as nothing had happened except for the meal she had just had with Song Seon-ah.
– Tomorrow at 10:30 am. Come to the actor part seminar room on the 5th floor. I’ll be waiting.
“By the way, can I come with someone else?”
-Are you talking about the manager?
“Oh, no. I don’t have a manager yet. Can I just go with an acquaintance?”
-of course. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.
“Yes, I will see you tomorrow.”
Ji So-young, who hung up the phone, went straight to Song Seon-ah with an excited face.
“Unnie, go to Forest with me tomorrow. I think it would be perfect to go in the morning and go for lunch.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Why am I going to Forrest?”
Song Seon-ah’s heart sank. When I was an aspiring actor in the past, the company I dreamed of was Forest.
There was a time when I thought that I would like to die after only stepping on the threshold of that forest once.
Shall we go together tomorrow? That place with strict security? formally?
I was confused and didn’t know how to respond.
“I was told to come for a contract tomorrow, but I think it would be good if I went alone, or if my sister would follow along. While I was there, I took a look around the company.”
“Uh, uh, yes. I heard rumors that the company is good. spacious.”
“Will you come with me?”
Ji So-young held Song Seon-ah’s arms and fired her lovely eyes. Song Seon-ah’s heart melted.
“Oh, my future great actor asks me so much, how can I refuse?”
“thanks. sister. After all, I have only my sister.”
Ji So-young hugged Song Seon-ah tightly.
Since the day I met writer Jae-ho Yoon, good things have been overlapping with good things.
