Upon Hong Hye-yeon’s answer, the representative stopped at the shoe store and covered her face with one hand. You seem to be very tired.
“Ah- Mr. I suddenly have a craving for sweets.”
Then Hyeyeon Hong, with her arms folded, whined a little.
“why? No, it’s just a bit tempting? I didn’t even say I’d do that short, so what’s wrong?”
“… you’re talking like an oba. Hey, if you say it appeals to you, most people will eat it. Do I not know you?”
Soon after, the CEO roughly took off the shoes he hadn’t done before.
“No, what kind of short film is the girl entering the ‘Profiler Hanryang’ Yeoju all of a sudden? I don’t know unless a big scenario comes in. uh? They come in by genre, from medium to large, but of course it’s a short film.”
While grumbling, I moved to the sofa in the living room and sat down. The representative’s reaction is not as great as expected. Maybe it’s because I’m used to Hong Hye-yeon, who has a sudden rush. Anyway, Hong Hye-yeon, wearing pajamas, sat next to him and the CEO let out a small sigh.
“Wait a minute, let me sort things out.”
A representative who suddenly organizes his thoughts. His name is Seong-gun Choi. He was the CEO of bw Enter, a start-up and the agency of top actress Hong Hye-yeon. He looks like he’s in his late 30s with long hair tied up in a string.
He wore frameless glasses, but his impression was a bit bland.
“hmm-”
At first glance, the atmosphere was dominated by cynicism, but Choi Seong-gun had already been in the entertainment industry for more than 10 years and was alert. Not to mention the attention, is the resourcefulness excellent?
Due to Choi Seong-geon’s unique flair, he had a wide network of people.
Hong Hye-yeon and Choi Seong-gun have been together ever since their debut, and it is no exaggeration to say that Hong Hye-yeon was created by him.
The relationship between the two is very famous in the entertainment industry.
Hong Hye-yeon also acknowledged his ability, so he readily came over when he founded bw Enter, and in addition, Hong Hye-yeon’s funds also went into bw Enter. In other words, Hong Hye-yeon was a bw investor and the main signboard at the same time.
About this.
“Is that short film titled ‘Heung-Ho’?”
CEO Seong-gun Choi asked while leaning back on the back of the sofa, and Hye-yeon Hong replied by crossing her legs.
“Yeah, ‘heungsangso’.”
“To dig into the current situation. Are you just trying to find out the history of that movie?”
“Yep. Even the little things.”
“Well- it’s not a job to go to a few independent and short film studios and collect them. Oh, it’s so annoying all of a sudden. Instead, if there is no scenario at all, is it difficult for me too?”
“No, no, it’s enough to come up and down from PD Song’s mouth, so there must be something. Oh and do you remember my brother? PD Shin Dong-chun.”
“know. A nobleman who suddenly went out to do a movie after filming a drama well and then disappeared… Oh, by any chance?”
“that’s right. ‘Heunghyeongso’, a deal written by that PD.”
CEO Seong-gun Choi’s eyes widen slightly at the moment.
“okay? How come the characters starting with PD Song Man-woo are rather novel?”
“Right?”
“So what would you do if I recognized you?”
“What do you mean, don’t you know I feed my brother?”
“You couldn’t have done that on your own, right? How about this, the shampoo advertisement you overturned this time. How about that renewal contract?”
Hong Hye-yeon grumbles.
“Oh, the marketing manager over there seems like an idiot.”
“Because I will push for a renewal of the contract with the condition that the manager be removed from the board. call?”
“damn. What kind of agency representative is arbitrary?”
“Because our artist is so smart.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who slapped the representative on the shoulder, clicked her tongue slightly.
“okay. But do you really have to leave out that manager?”
“Okay, now explain.”
“what?”
CEO Seong-gun Choi, whose calculations had already been completed in his head, lifted up his rimless glasses and smiled.
“Why did you suddenly become interested in the ‘heungsinsa’? Don’t go around saying it’s because of PD Song Man-woo or director Shin Dong-chun. because it doesn’t work tell me something certain.”
“······after.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who swept her long straight hair, chinned her chin slightly.
“There is a boy named Kang Woo-jin.”
“who. Is this your new boyfriend?”
“Are you crazy? Where is my boyfriend! An actor, an actor.”
“actor? I’m just hearing it for the first time recite it.”
Afterwards, Hong Hye-yeon unraveled the story she had hidden so far. From the moment I met Kang Woo-jin, a different kind of her, until now. What’s interesting is that CEO Seong-gun Choi’s face was shocked while listening to her words.
like that for about 10 minutes.
“it’s okay??”
It was Hong Hye-yeon who recited the whole story, and she spat out a faint exclamation while scratching the long hair tied by CEO Seong-gun Choi.
“That Song PD and writer Park Eun-mi did that? To a boy named Kang Woo-jin? No, why do you feel sorry for writer Park, who even the towers babble about?”
“The class is not an issue. They are so crazy about making art.”
“…that’s kind of interesting though, that’s it.”
For Choi Seong-gun, the CEO of an entertainment company, PD Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi were a huge mountain. No, not just him, most people in the industry would see it that way.
That’s why Choi Seong-gun became more curious about the actor Kang Woo-jin.
“From the start, the filmography is… unique, that bastard.”
“I was self-taught in acting, but I might have been abroad. According to PD Song, it must have been very difficult.”
“Overseas? Um- well, if there was a kid like that in a troupe, I would have heard it unconditionally.”
Choi Seong-gun, who was chanting, made eye contact with Hong Hye-yeon and smiled.
“That’s why you lick your lips at Kang Woo-jin’s acting. Rather than being intrigued by the ‘heunghyeongso’ itself.”
“Oh, isn’t it?!”
“Where do you sell drugs? Haven’t you read the scenario for ‘Heungshinso’ yet?”
“·······”
At this time.
“brother.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who was glaring at Choi Seong-gun, who was sitting next to her, suddenly changed the subject.
“How much money do we have?”
“suddenly? What kind of conversation is this?”
“Are you free? If you don’t have it, I’d like to be prepared. Are you more than half prepared for war? It’s strange for a rookie to get a down payment, but since he’s already a bit weird, it probably doesn’t matter. And oppa, as a manager, has to draw a picture for the first time in a while. It feels like they are sticking to you and taking care of you.”
“Hey, you can’t.”
Hong Hye-yeon shouted as an investor to the CEO who frowned.
“Ah, someone’s going to snatch it soon after the script reading for Baekper.”
Thursday morning, the 20th. A movie theater near Ori Station.
The time is around 9 o’clock. Because it was early morning, the cinema was very quiet. Among them, I saw Kang Woo-jin sitting on the waiting sofa. I was alone. A long padded jacket with a hat on.
Then why is Kang Woo-jin alone at the cinema at this time?
The answer was simple. Because he had recently entered the path of an actor, he was interested in various contents that were not there. Therefore, Woo-jin came to see a movie alone for the first time since he was born. even jojo.
anyway.
-Sue.
Woojin, waiting for movie time, was looking down at his phone.
“It was a mise-en-scène short film festival, right?”
Kang Woo-jin, holding the cell phone, searched for something. In fact, even after meeting director Shin Dong-chun yesterday, Woo-jin searched for the same thing. However, as I had some spare time, I decided to check it out in more detail.
“It is the most prestigious award ceremony in the short film market – the largest and most public-reliable film festival.”
While checking the search results for the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’, Woo-jin recalled the conversation with director Shin Dong-chun, who came to visit him yesterday morning.
It started with director Shin Dong-chun, who had tears in his eyes.
The part where he asked Kang Woo-jin to be the main character of ‘Heungshinso’.
“Please take on Ryujin Kim, the main character of ‘Heungsinso’”
At this time, Woojin was slightly dazed. That’s probably the case, too, because the crying man suddenly asked to be the main character. Therefore, Woo-jin was silent, and director Shin Dong-chun continued to explain at will.
“Actually, ‘Heungsinso’ is not a movie to be shown to the public. It is a work to be submitted to a film festival.”
“You mean the film festival?”
“yes. It’s called ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’. When it comes to commercial films, like Blue Dragon or Baeksang, in terms of shorts, ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ is considered the best. The tradition is also old. It will open in mid-April in two months. I’m aiming for that. The situation is rather urgent.”
“·······”
“Among moviegoers, the level of awareness is almost at the level of the blue dragon, so there are few people who don’t know about it. Oh, of course, Woo-jin must know.”
no? at all. It was the first film festival I ever heard of. However, Woojin nodded her head while maintaining a solemn expression as much as possible.
“Yes, roughly.”
“As you know, the judges at the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ are made by master directors, and the new directors who have won awards at this film festival are on a solid road. There are many graduates of the Mise-en-scène Film Festival among the master directors who judge or the best-known directors.”
Woojin understood it roughly as a movie version audition variety show. There are quite a few celebrities who appeared in audition variety shows in the past and became top stars now.
At this point, director Shin Dong-chun’s expression darkened slightly.
“But the competition is fierce. More than 600 works are submitted each year. The short stories that I want to be okay are rushing. It’s a lottery even if it’s among the 40 finalists.”
“It is a war.”
“Oh, that’s right. A battleground for so-called directors who make some movies. It is a gateway to film directors. Many top actors attend as honorary judges, and industry celebrities are quite involved. So, if you win the grand prize, you become a popular star as a new director.”
Director Shin Dong-chun omitted it, but there were many cases where he emerged as an actor through this film festival. It is not boring to see short films remade into commercial films.
However, if there is no good work, the grand prize itself is not awarded.
The history has been over 20 years, but I don’t know about other awards, but there were only 10 works that won the grand prize. That’s why if you win the grand prize at the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’, you become famous in the industry. But non-mainstream is non-mainstream.
There were many people who didn’t know that it was a short film festival.
“The evaluation criteria are very strict. It’s only natural to see the judging by the master directors. The script, directing, acting of the actors, etc. Among them, the directing and acting of the actors take the biggest points.”
It was an insanely difficult board to listen to roughly. At least in Kang Woo-jin’s opinion. The difficulty of passing through the narrow needle hole. Woojin decided that it would be better to reject dozens of design clients.
‘It’s a majestic film festival.’
Director Shin Dong-chun opened his reddened eyes wide.
“Actually, the production situation for ‘Heungsinso’ is not good right now.”
A condensed explanation of all the history of the short film ‘Heungsinso’.
backwards.
“But I don’t need them anymore. I will turn over all the film companies, investments, and actors I was talking about. I’m going back from the beginning. Of course, I set Mr. Kang Woo-jin as my standard. So please take on the role of Ryujin Kim.”
“·······”
No, even while resetting the board? is this because of me? things get bigger Woojin tried to dry it while maintaining a difficult poker face. That square-jawed director is currently very excited.
“Director, you don’t need to overdo it.”
“Not a bunch!”
But it backfired. Thanks to Woojin’s dissuade, director Shin Dong-chun’s will flared up even more. Like an adrenaline rush.
“This is an absolute must. Any inconvenience is something I endure. Don’t worry, I’ll get you back to the starting point somehow. So, Mr. Woojin, please only act.”
“ah.”
“Please take the role of Ryujin Kim. A character breathes when it is played by an actor who is affectionate and attached to it. Let’s run together, Woojin.”
It was too much. Director Shin Dong-chun’s adrenaline secretion is overflowing. The nobleman who had been crying until just before that. Kang Woo-jin felt that it was impossible to stop him because he was so stubborn.
What, does it matter?
It is true that the volume of the situation has become more intense than expected, but whatever it is, Woojin’s initial goal has been achieved. It’s the subject of a film festival, it’s nabal, and you can just act.
Kang Woo-jin, who came to an appropriate conclusion, reached out to director Shin Dong-chun, whose eyes were burning. pretty cool.
“Thank you very much, Director.”
So far.
Kang Woo-jin, who recalled the situation up to this point, returned to the reality of the movie theater again. I even checked the time right away.
“Ah, slowly.”
It was time to move. Because movie time is near. Soon, when Woo-jin goes to the cinema.
“Um-but.”
He was suddenly thinking about the ‘heungsinso’.
“Is the actor Park Jeong-hyeok, who was originally nominated as the main character, a bit intimidated by doing laundry or something? You might be a little upset.”
He recited indistinctly.
“Well, it’s none of my business.”
A few hours later, GGO Entertainment in Nonhyeon-dong.
around early lunch. The representative office of the large GGO Entertainment. Suddenly, a loud voice erupted in the representative office, where potted plants were placed here and there.
“what?!! Did you wake us up?!”
The person who spat out the high pitch was Seo Seo-seop Seo, CEO of GGO Enter. He is short and has a face that resembles a bulldog. Then he shouted again to the male employee in front of him.
“No, what kind of dog is this!! I heard it was going without any problems until yesterday!”
At his shouting, the staff shook his head and answered with difficulty.
“・・・・・That, that. I was also just contacted. Blue Gaze Films also said they came to a conclusion this morning.”
“what?!!”
“The director of ‘Heungsinso’ wants to undo everything that has been going on. So, it seems that we have drawn a line not only with the actors and investments that have been mentioned, but also with Blue Gaze Films.”
It was said that the plate in progress was overturned. In a word from the director of ‘Heungsinso’. In other words, GGO Enter was coolly blacked out by director Shin Dong-chun.
In response, Seo Seo-seop, who resembles a bulldog, bites his molars.
“You dare me. Do you want to open this GGO enter?”
CEO Seo Seo-seop was more angry at the fact that he and GGO Entertainment were rejected rather than the overturning of the game. A scratch on one’s self-esteem.
“I knew Shin Dong-chun when he was a PD, so I paid attention to him from contacting him for the scenario.
“·······”
“Yoo-sae with a scenario that doesn’t seem like a star. Tsk!”
Soon after, Seo Seo-seop, who hit the desk hard, turned his head to the right. Sitting on a luxurious five-person sofa, I saw a man who looked like a nobleman. CEO Seo Seo-seop shouted at him as Barak.
“Hey Jung Hyuk! Clean up whether it’s Heungsinsonji or Nabal! Choose a different scenario! Shit, the shorts that go out at the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’ are hit by the foot, hit!”
The man was Park Jeong-hyeok. The culprit who tries to wash the image with ‘heungsinso’. An actor who rose to the top position in the past. It’s not as good as it used to be, but it’s still very popular.
Then he crossed his legs and replied.
“No, there are a lot of short replacements, I understand. CEO, isn’t it a bit sudden that you got black? Didn’t you say anything until yesterday?”
“·······”
CEO Seo Seo-seop, who shared his gaze with Park Jeong-hyeok, made a serious expression. He then sat down in a chair and picked up a pack of cigarettes on the desk.
“Director Shin Dong-chun, who was driven to the edge of a cliff, changed his attitude overnight – even by overturning everything that was going on, including investment money and Jeong Hyuk…”
Just thinking about 10 seconds. CEO Seo Seo-seop, who had been thinking hard about it, spit out a confident conclusion while smoking a cigarette.
“Isn’t director Shin Dong-chun assigned another actor as the main male lead?”
fleshed out that conclusion.
“A-level or higher, maybe top-level?”
