Soon, rumors began to circulate that a Korean-style zombie movie was coming out.
It all started when director Choi Dae-man sent out the script of Escape to the actors and actresses he had chosen as the main cast candidates, and their agencies.
Kim Tae-in, who was ranked first among the main cast candidates, looked at the script with a displeased expression.
He was not as good as Lee Ji-seok in terms of acting skills, but he still had decent talent.
His personality is just terrible.
His manager, who knew Kim Tae-ins character well, fidgeted nervously with his feet. Lee Ji-seok was said to have a very good personality
A zombie movie?
Yes. Its being produced by Movie Dream.
You want to do this? Have you ever seen a successful zombie movie in Korea?
The manager quickly shook his head.
No, no.
Zombie movie? This is not even Hollywood. And the director is Choi Dae-man? Who is that?
Hes the director of The Evil Spirit, the movie that Lee Seo-jun starred in.
That was the reason why the agency didnt reject it and passed it on to Kim Tae-in. But Kim Tae-ins agency didnt have high expectations either.
They just wanted to create so buzz by associating with Lee Seo-jun.
Lee Seo-jun?
Even Kim Tae-in, who was known as the king of the world, couldnt help but be interested in that na.
Even though it was only him and his manager in the room, Kim Tae-in lowered his voice.
Is Lee Seo-jun in it?
No.
Kim Tae-in spat out a curse and threw the script on the floor.
Then you want to do a movie that doesnt even have Lee Seo-jun?
Should I tell them youre not doing it?
Of course! Dont ask stupid questions! Find out about Choi Min-sung PDs next project! Secret is over, he must be preparing for his next work soon!
The drama Secret was the next work produced by PD Choi Min-sung and writer So Eun-jin after Inner Doctor.
It didnt achieve as much popularity or ratings as Inner Doctor, but it still ranked first in its ti slot.
The consecutive hits of Reinvestigation, Inner Doctor, and Secret started to create a reputation for them as star PD and star writer.
Yes!
The manager quickly answered and left the seat with a grumble.
The zombie movie was a big hurdle.
Kim Tae-in rejected it and other actors and actresses also declined one by one.
There were many people and agencies related to those actors and actresses.
It would have been strange if the news didnt leak out.
After that, the script that was looking for an owner, the extra casting, and the child actor audition announcents made the movie and entertainnt industry buzz.
So actors and actresses were amazed by the unique the of zombie movie, but more people shook their heads.
Movie Dream is really losing it.
The president ran away and they decided to go bankrupt.
They dont even have a confird main cast yet, but theyre holding auditions.
Do they have investors? Or not?
And then the rumor spread to the general public, and small articles started to appear.
[A Korean-style zombie movie is coming out!]
-Wow! Korean-style zombie? Its dood.
-? In Korea? Zombie?
-But this seems to be the only article? Theres no news about whos starring in it.
-Did they just throw it out there? Lets make a zombie movie? > Netizen reaction: Its dood. > Oh well, lets not make it then!
=222 I agree. Itll probably disappear soon lol
Korean-style zombie movie.
Everyones attention was drawn to the genre that no one had ever succeeded in. So people just found it interesting and amusing that there was such a thing as a Korean-style zombie movie, but the maniacs who loved zombie movies dug deeper.
-Whos the production company?
=Movie Dream.
=Oh. I know them. They make non-mainstream genre movies. Their movies are good.
=Thats old news. They sold all their movie rights. They even sold The Evil Spirit with Lee Seo-jun.
=They sold The Evil Spirit? Wow? Theres really a place that cuts off its golden goose here?
-Whos the director? Whos the scriptwriter? Whos the main cast?
=Nothing has been revealed yet. They only announced that theyre holding auditions.
-I would have promoted it like crazy if it was a zombie movie. It seems like its going to fail anyway But with this kind of article and comnts, other people might not even know that theres such a movie, right?
=222 Thats why its going to fail.
=Yeah. Even if they start promoting now, I wonder if itll get any attention Why are they so quiet?
-How much is the production cost? 10 billion? 15? Dont tell its not less than 10 billion, right?
=I hope they spend so money, even if its not Hollywood level
-What is the investor doing, with this kind of promotion and no complaints?
=They must be new to movie investnt
=222 Thats why they invest in zombie movies
=Its sad to be a minor genre fan.
=222
=Sorry.
When the internet was very slightly buzzing about the zombie movie, a good news arrived at Movie Dream production company. The eyes of Lee Han-sol, the representative, and the staff shone.
We widened the age range and we caught such a big fish.
Im really grateful that Kim Tae-in rejected it.
He kicked his own luck away, right?
The first actor who agreed to star in the movie appeared. And he was amazing. Director Choi Dae-man, who heard the news on his phone, was also happy to hear the na of the actor. Lee Han-sol, the representative, took the contract and left the company. The staff went back to work.
Kong Seo-yeon must be regretting it.
She must be scared because of the non-mainstream genre movie she did before that failed miserably.
The next work she starred in was a hit, but it was a mainstream movie.
That was a big reason why Kong Seo-yeon hesitated to do this zombie movie.
Non-mainstream movie failed, mainstream movie succeeded.
Then it was natural to think that this non-mainstream zombie movie might fail too.
A staff mber who liked Kong Seo-yeon sighed with regret.
I watched that movie and director Choi Dae-man chose her because of that Its such a sha.
Right. She could have fild with Lee Seo-jun
So could the other actors and actresses.
The staff nodded.
After Kong Seo-yeon, they sent the script to three more actors and actresses. But they all refused.
Then they widened the age range and sent the script to five more actors and actresses. The third rejection call had just arrived.
What if this doesnt work either?
Well, the representative and the director will figure it out.
Then, the phone rang.
The staff who answered the phone said yes, yes.
He answered and then widened his eyes.
He slowly smiled brightly.
The other staff held their breath at his reaction.
Yes. I understand!
He hung up the phone and shouted with a big smile.
He accepted!
Who is it?
Actress Lee Da-jin!
The staff gasped at the na of the actress.
The news of Lee Da-jins appearance was quickly delivered to Lee Han-sol.
He walked back to the conference room with a light step after hanging up the phone.
Sorry for the interruption.
In front of Lee Han-sol, who sat down, was the actor who would play the role of Im Jang-woo.
Lee Han-sol picked up the contract signed by the man and spoke before he could ask.
I just got a call from another lead actor who agreed to join.
He had just heard that Lee Seo-jun would play the role of Go Ju-won. T
he man smiled with satisfaction at the unexpected news and asked.
Are you talking about Yeon Jae-hee?
Lee Han-sol nodded.
Yes. I just got a call from Lee Da-jins agency saying that she would join.
The mans eyes widened.
He started with a small laugh, which soon turned into a loud laughter that filled the conference room.
Lee Han-sol also smiled faintly.
Lee Seo-jun, Lee Da-jin, and himself.
This is quite a fate.
The man, Kim Jong-ho, said cheerfully.
***
The day of the audition for the child actors of the movie Escape.
The production company, Movie Dream, suggested that Seo-jun participate in the audition as a judge, but Seo-jun shook his head.
Because,
Joo-kyung: Im nervous!!
Joo-hee: too!!
Jae-han: Why are we right next to each other?
