Celebrity Life Misunderstood as a Genius

[77] Growth(2)

A successful movie has a different atmosphere even before it is released.

「Revenge Girl」 Broke through 100,000 reservations two days before its release.

Could it be because of the national popularity of Solar that swept the domestic market?

Stars attending the premiere reacted most sensitively.

“Sooyeon unnie, did you know that director Andrew was coming?”

“… I didn’t know.”

Lee Soo-yeon sat down next to the actress who was in attendance and had a conversation.

“Rock Again director Andrew, right?”

“If my eyes are right.”

“Wow.”

Directed by Finn Brown and Andrew.

No one expected the arrival of Hollywood giants.

Journalists were as interested in them as in the film.

A one-top film by an unknown director and a member of a girl group.

Through which network did you visit Korea?

“Where did the producer and distributor of Revenge Girl say?”

“Geumseong Production, Cinemago.”

“…”

Then there would be no connections in the United States.

In the meantime, did you expand your business in two places?

‘The other is Finn Brown…?’

Soon, they moved and took their seats.

The seat where Solar members are, next to team leader Jeong Su-ho.

“Uh…?”

Lee Soo-yeon was shocked to see them greet each other warmly.

‘Chief Jeong Soo-ho was a personal connection!?’

Could it be that Team Leader Jeong was the hidden son of a chaebol family?

Did Dream Agency just load it as a hobby?

If not, it means that you made a friendship with a Hollywood giant in only a year.

“Wow, that rumor was true.”

“It’s a rumor.”

The close actor sitting next to him lowered his head and whispered a whisper in his ear.

“Rumors that the Q&G label signed a contract with RSB Records.”

“… Really?”

“Yeah. I heard team leader Jeong Su-ho promoted it.”

“…”

I’m not kidding, he could be the son of a real conglomerate.

His chest grows

Is that Jung Soo-ho I knew right?

Q&G is a small business in Korea as well.

A contract with a large Hollywood producer.

I felt a strange sense of anticipation in the conversation with Team Leader Jeong.

He was no longer the Jung Soo-ho he knew in the past.

He was a genius manager with great personal connections and skills.

‘It was good that I moved the company.’

Wrong selection of works after 「Marrying into a Chaebol Family」.

With the eyes of team leader Jeong, there won’t be such a mistake anymore.

“Sooyeon unni, she said she’s moving to the Q&G label this time.”

“Yes. It’s not long before the contract expires.”

“I’m about to run out of contract…”

As the number of competitors increases, the scope of care for Jung Soo-ho only increases.

The scale of the Q&G label was still small and medium-sized entertainment.

“There’s no room there.”

“What?”

“Oh, the movie starts right away.”

“Mmm, that’s right.”

With top stars and reporters watching.

The opening scene of the movie appeared on the screen.

It is difficult to say that it is the skill of an unknown director.

In particular, Eunseo’s acting has grown incomparably compared to last year.

‘Voice, intonation, breathing, ability to deliver lines…’

Now I can feel the scent of a real actor.

The perfect chemistry that we can show because we are in the same group.

In the movie, the combination of Eunseo and Joohee was a godsend.

‘This movie is…’

I’m sure it will be a hit

A long standing ovation followed at the end of the film.

It was respect for the producers who made the masterpiece.

“Thank you for watching the movie.”

Shortly thereafter, director Chun-soo Kim went on stage and was the first to express his feelings.

“Uh, um… There was someone who recognized me when I was walking around the Busan International Film Festival.”

“…”

Kim Chun-soo looked at one side of the audience and opened his mouth quietly.

“The first person to recognize my work and give me a chance…”

The reporters gulped and waited for the director’s words.

Of course, they would call the representative of Gold Star Production or the distributor.

By the way,

“I sincerely thank team leader Jeong Soo-ho.”

“!!!”

Which film director will be the first to mention an actor’s manager in a stage greeting?

‘… Jeong Soo-ho is the replacement for the team leader.’

For the reporters in attendance, it was a great news story.

A personal connection that invited a Hollywood director to a premiere.

An eye that found a gemstone that no one was looking for.

Along with his interest in movies, Jeong Su-ho’s popularity rose.

* * *

Near the end of the premiere schedule.

Various media poured out favorable articles about 「Revenge Girl」.

Reporters who attended the premiere, as well as articles copying other people’s articles.

[Director Park Chan-soo’s praise! “Extreme close-up directing cannot follow director Kim Ki-chun.”]

[“Revenge Girl” Starring Solar member Jang Jang-seo, a highly anticipated work found by Hollywood film director Andrew]

[Actress Jang Eun-seo, who succeeded in transforming her acting from an immature conglomerate into a cruel revenge girl.]

[A new paradigm of Korean action! Expected number of spectators…]

Domestic public opinion was divided for and against.

The result will be informed by the public reaction.

“For now…”

Since the reaction to the movie is good, I have to push harder.

In the beginning, you have to hit publicity on social media or entertainment.

Until the opening, only D-2.

I was just waiting for the final result.

As I left the premiere, I said to Yeji.

“Yeji, let’s go.”

“Yes? Just me?”

“Yes. JiU will take care of the other members.”

“Ah.”

Yeji smiled and followed me.

“Where are we going?”

“Meeting.”

“Oh, a meeting rather than a blind date?”

“…Don’t play around.”

“Yeah.”

After a while,

We arrived at a Korean restaurant to make an appointment with Finn Brown.

He should have arrived first and waited.

With director Andrew, the master of music and film.

Drooling-

Arrived at the meeting place and opened the door.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Oh, hello.”

The sharp-looking Finn Brown met in America.

And, director Andrew, who has a sad impression.

“Yeji, you speak English well.”

“Yes! The company taught me.”

“hahahaha. You’re amazing.”

Well then.

Yeji talked to Diana in English even in America.

“Royland audition proposal.”

“Yeah?”

Director Andrew handed over the sealed documents and said to me.

“This is the role of Angela, the sub female lead.”

“…”

[Royland] Sub female audition.

Of course, I thought it was a meeting about OST work.

It was a lot bigger than I thought, and the burden was pushed.

“I’m on a Korea-China-Japan tour.”

“Then.”

“Japan and China also have one Angela candidate each.”

“…”

Audition for the role of a mysterious Asian sub female lead.

It was an opportunity given to only three people in the whole world.

“Today’s meeting is just a casual exchange of greetings.”

“Ah yes.”

When deciding on an important role, there are many cases where it takes up to the 7th meeting.

How much more, to film a music movie with a production cost of tens of billions of dollars in Hollywood.

‘… It won’t be easy.’

Yeji’s expression was more frozen than usual.

It was a natural reaction because it was an important position.

“Ms. Yeji really looks like a doll. She suits the role of Angela very well.”

“Really? Thank you!”

“hahahaha. Your English pronunciation is excellent.”

“Not quite like that.”

“Let’s eat.”

After a casual meeting, the two rise from their seats.

Finn Brown spoke only to me in passing.

“Chief, the article on Mjolnir’s insert song will probably appear today.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“I will ask you more often in the future.”

“I wish you well.”

Before parting,

Director Andrew handed over the last conversation with a satisfied expression.

“Can I notify you of the audition schedule later?”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Yes. Then. Mr. Yeji, see you again.”

“Thank you, Director.”

Feeling bewildered, Yeji and I returned to the van.

Because it was an unexpected proposal.

There was a strange silence in the van.

“Yes.”

“Yeah?”

“Can you act in English?”

“Well.”

He asked Yeji a question in a calm tone.

A golden audition opportunity.

Perhaps, she could have entered Hollywood before Eunseo.

“If I pass the audition, will I go to America?”

“Of course.”

“… Can I not go?”

“What?”

Yeji thought about her for a moment, then she opened her mouth again.

“I’m going alone. Without the members.”

“… That’s.”

“Because group activities are also important.”

“That’s right.”

Currently, work on a full-length album is in progress.

Because you can adjust the filming schedule.

“I’ll take care of the album activities.”

“Yeah.”

Can I audition with this kind of heart?

You can fall if you try your best.

‘I’m a little anxious, but…’

Seeing that the back of my head is tickling right now, I think it will be fine.

“Manager Koo Hyun-sik will go with us to America.”

“… What about the team leader?”

“I’ll go to America on a business trip if necessary.”

“Mmm.”

An opportunity that will never come in your lifetime even if you try to kill the great actors in Korea.

Entering into Hollywood was not something that could be done through ‘effort’.

“First of all, let’s prepare for the audition diligently.”

“Here, chief.”

“Yes?”

“… Is Hollywood your dream? Or Billboard?”

“What dream?”

“It’s a team leader’s dream.”

“?”

Why are you suddenly curious about my dreams?

To put it bluntly, being an unemployed person with a lot of money is a dream.

“Raising Solar to the best level.”

“Ah.”

Yeji nodded briefly and opened his mouth.

“I will prepare hard for the audition.”

“Yeah. Don’t be pressured.”

“Yeah.”

Soon after, we arrived at the underground parking lot of the office building.

“Yeji, let’s get off.”

I took Yeji to the practice room and headed to the office.

As she entered the office, Umji Yu approached and talked to her.

“Brother! Did you see this article?”

“Revenge girl?”

“No.”

Jiyu stuck next to me and showed me her smartphone.

An article related to producer Dohana.

I was hoping for when this would come out.

[Dohana, a domestic producer, participates in the production of the insert song for the hero movie 「Mjolnir 2」!]

Hollywood-related news touched the sensibility of the Gukppong nation.

I was able to confirm the hot reaction in the comments on the article.

“Dohana is a producer who only contracts with you.”

“Finally, the article appeared.”

“As expected, you knew in advance!”

“Yeah. It happened.”

“…Did my brother connect it!?”

“That’s it.”

Diana did well on her own.

I only passed on from the side.

“As expected, our team leader!”

“Keuuu, Jeong Soo-ho…!”

“Wow, Suho!”

“…Don’t talk nonsense.”

Leaving behind the reaction of the team members, I headed to the studio where Diana was.

‘This good news…’

I must have read it in a news article.

Kim Ye-ji sat in the corner of her training room and pondered alone.

“I just…”

She has already become a star in Korea, and has achieved her goal.

Team leader Jung Soo-ho’s dream was too high.

Usually, the filming period is two to three months.

He couldn’t film more because of production costs.

However, if you’re away for that time, I’m afraid someone will be by his side.

Just like actress Jin Se-eun whom I saw at his alumni meeting not too long ago.

Yeji was sure she was interested in her Suho.

“Sister, what are you doing?”

Soon after, Yang Joo-hee sneaked up to me and started talking to me.

“Nothing.”

“Is it because of Jangseo?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Revenge Girl was too successful.”

“…”

Joo-hee slumped down in the seat next to him and opened his mouth.

“Your sister is just as greedy for acting as Eunseo.”

“Oh, it’s not like that.”

“You know the manager. He will make a good seat for you.”

“…”

I think you’ve already made that spot.

It was an opportunity I never imagined when I was a trainee.

“… I was thinking too much.”

“Oh, Diana was dazed today too.”

“Um, sure.”

Yang Joo-hee showed a news article on her smartphone.

“I went mental after watching this news article.”

“… Dohana Producer.”

“That’s right.”

“It deserves it.”

Original composer and arranger of last year’s hit song 「Sunrise And Sunset」, SAS.

Actually, the slump came to me.

Because Dohana has been flying since then.

“Fans these days know that Diana is in a slump.”

“…Because I don’t have any work.”

“Occasionally articles appear.”

Lida Kim nodded and stood up.

“Juhee, I’ll take a look.”

“Shall I go with you too?”

“No. I’ll go alone.”

Soon, Yeji moved out of her practice room and into her studio.

The studio she visited to comfort Diana.

A conversation could be heard through the slightly open door.

“I told you it’s an insert song for Mjolnir’s follow-up.”

“You should have spoken harder!”

“How can you speak harder?”

Diana continued her speech with tears in her eyes.

“I’ve told you several times.”

“Ah, I worked only a week.”

“It’s okay. Director Mjolnir said he was satisfied.”

“Ugh, that kind of rubbish is the greatest achievement of my life…”

“…”

Yeji swallowed her saliva and listened to the conversation between the two.

Although I didn’t stop by the studio to eavesdrop on it from the beginning.

‘Diana…’

Was it Dohana!?

To think that he hid his identity without even the Solar members knowing.

‘I think I know why he hid it.’

I’m sure you’re planning to hit an article later at the perfect timing.

Solar was no longer only for the five members.

It was the hope and future that Manager Jung dreamed of.

After discovering 「Revenge Girl」 With director Kim Chun-soo, I put my heart and soul into making the film.

… I’m half way there now.’

What is the leader’s goal?

Is Hollywood also part of the plan?

Although I can’t make Team Leader Jung’s dream come true.

When he achieved his goal, I wanted to stand by him.

‘Audition…’

I think you won’t regret it if you do your best.

* * *

After a while.

「Revenge Girl」 Started to ride word of mouth.

It has already taken 3 million viewers and cruised.

“Grandma, I have a dream come true.”

As an individual investor, I couldn’t be happier.

When did you get this kind of rating among the blue-collar movies?

At this rate, at least 8 million.

Maybe even more

Tok, tok-

I took out my smartphone and tapped on my calculator.

If you assume that the price of a movie ticket these days is 8 million.

Excluding value-added tax and film development fund,

The theater takes 45% of the distribution fee,

Excluding the production cost, the production love is divided 6:4.

“… 60 percent of the rate of return.”

I made 600 million won by investing in an apartment.

If the audience exceeds 8 million, it will increase further.

I’m at this level, how much money did the room madam make?

A dirty world where money makes money.

If I had 10 billion, I would have earned 6 billion.

If you go into a film investment company, not just a manager.

“No, that’s it.”

You can’t give up Solar just to make money.

Now that your face is known, you will be criticized a lot.

Besides, you have to be on this floor to be able to invest.

Because I will continue to discover movies that are plugged in with reverse doubles.

Tiri-Ri-Ring-

At that time, the phone rang from Manager Park.

You usually don’t contact me after work.

“Hello, manager.”

-Suho, something big happened. What do you do

“Yeah?”

– The head of the headquarters received a health checkup.

“A checkup?”

My heart pounded at the sudden phone call.

– You will need to be hospitalized. Because of the liver.

“Ah.”

– You’re going to retire. Because you were invited to a drinking party so many times.

“…”

In the meantime, you were too busy thinking about work.

The reason why Headquarters 2 worked so well is thanks to the Head of Headquarters.

-Aiming for the position of general manager at Dream Agency.

“… Ah.”

-Director Kim Ji-seok is being discussed at the head office.

“Okay?”

Director of the parent company, Kwon Sang-mu line.

I can’t just take it away now.

– Let’s go visit the hospital first.

“Yes. Manager.”

Pop.

I hung up the phone and calmly organized my thoughts.

‘… Executive Director Kwon.’

A person who looks as huge as Mount Tai from his previous company.

Actually, it’s still a little tough for me to deal with.

“The back of the head is itchy.”

The protection of the dungchok protected me.
