Chapter 150 < How did he do in the shoot? >
It was about ti for dinner. The five of them, joined by Director Park and Lee Taegyeom, moved to a restaurant near their agency.
Please eat a lot, Han-gyeol.
Thank you.
From the perspective of President Han, Lee Han-gyeol was an artist who made his mouth water. He was a mber of a popular idol group that had temporarily disbanded, but he had a solid fan base.
Thanks to the success of the legend, a coback from the brink of ruin, he also had quite a few investors, and his popularity didnt drop even when he went to the army.
But why did you do that?
What?
That. The investnt thing.
As soon as their contracts expired, all of the mbers of One Seven announced their positions through KimI-juns SNS.
Yoo Yeon Seo thought they should have just parted ways, instead of making a fuss about it, but One Seven felt that it was unfair to keep their mouths shut when they had received sothing. They also felt more awkward because they had blad the agency too much, swayed by the fans reactions.
I was going to reveal it at the right mont. I was tied to a contract with them, thats why.
What if you get a disadvantage by revealing it?
It wasnt really a question of concern. Lee Han-gyeol laughed bitterly.
You seem to forget, but Im older than you.
When the contract expiration date ca, so agencies would pressure the mbers with dia play, saying things like The other mbers renewed their contracts. Why dont you? or reveal their dating scandals or bad personalities if the renewal failed. But AST Entertainnt was quiet.
And if Yoo Yeon Seo knew the president of that agency, he was the kind of person who would do such dirty dia play. But strangely, he was silent.
Wasnt that because you took care of it?
?
Yoo Yeon Seo frowned as if he had no idea what he was talking about. He wasnt the kind of person who would think of such things Ah, Im Seung-hyun. He rembered what his secretary said, that he would handle it.
My secretary did it.
Then you did it.
No, I didnt.
He looked at his face and he seed to have misunderstood Yoo Yeon Seo suddenly felt a gaze and turned his head. President Han, who was sitting at the next table, was looking at them with a smug smile, resting his chin on his hand.
Wow, look at the loyalty. You look good together.
President Han, why are you so gross?
You should see each other more often and get along, you need to soften your personality.
Do you think Im a kid? Do I need the presidents help to date soone?
Why are you talking like that? Youre showing your old personality.
Ive always been like this.
Lee Han-gyeol watched the argunt between the agency president and the actor with curious eyes. It was sothing he couldnt even imagine.
Choi Dong-won, the president of AST Entertainnt, had a domineering personality. He always told them that they failed because they had no talent, and crushed their spirits. He had a coercive and authoritative temperant, so it was impossible for him to have such a casual conversation.
Well, Yoo Yeon Seo had a backer, so he didnt give in to President Choi Lee Han-gyeol thought and opened his mouth.
Can you talk to the president like that?
Yeah, I can. Im going to eat this company anyway.
Really?
Lee Han-gyeol asked President Han. Director Park, who heard that for the first ti, choked and coughed.
Well I havent stamped it yet.
President Hans voice got smaller. He probably felt reluctant to sell the company he had raised with love for money. He seed to be hesitating, but he would probably give in soon.
But why this company, of all places? You could have had better conditions elsewhere.
Yeon Seo Dont you like our company? You said youd eat it
Our company has good conditions too Yoo Yeon Seo ignored President Hans protest.
Im not coming here because of you, but because the conditions and environnt are good.
Halo dia had its own production company and a strong lineup of actors. They also had the will to promote new actors, even if they had to sell them hard.
And the filmography of the actors here is really good, right?
Hmm Is it?
Yeah, its all over the news. They say this company gets good works.
As soon as he heard that, Yoo Yeon Seo burst into laughter. The truth was, half of the reason why that rumor spread was because Yoo Yeon Seo had picked up the works he had dropped because he was interested but couldnt do them due to his schedule.
Thats actually thanks to . I did a lot of them.
Ugh, I cant argue with that.
So just be quiet and let eat you.
Yoo Yeon Seo clinked his water glass with Han Daepyos, as if toasting with him. Lee Hangyeol raised an eyebrow.
Are you giving up on music altogether? Didnt you compose songs?
I quit that a long ti ago. I only did it for a while when I was a trainee.
Really?
His mories were jumbled, so he sotis said things like that. Yoo Yeon Seo frowned. Suddenly, Lee Hangyeols eyes widened.
Are you bleeding from your nose?
Ah, again Do you have my handkerchief?
Here.
It wasnt the first or second ti, so Lee Taegyeom naturally handed him a soft handkerchief, and Yoo Yeon Seo casually plugged his nose.
Do you get nosebleeds often? You even carry that around.
Sotis, just a sec.
His manager, who didnt care even when he had nosebleeds, jumped up when he left his seat. Lee Hangyeol observed the scene with interest. Yoo Yeon Seo shook his phone screen at Lee Taegyeom.
Where are you going?
Hyungs call.
Oh, okay.
He sat down, relieved. If he left him alone and he collapsed or sothing, he would get scolded by Lim Seunghyun.
Han Daepyo and Park Siljang leaned back and looked at Yoo Yeon Seo until he completely left the room, then turned to Lee Taegyeom.
So, how did he do in the shooting? He missed a day, right?
Wow, youre quick to ask. He did well. The shooting atmosphere was also very good.
Really? Thats a relief.
But why did he miss a day?
He rembered that he had missed a day before, too Lee Hangyeols suspicion grew.
He just got too imrsed in his acting and felt exhausted.
Oh Really?
Im sure youll see it when you see the final product. Everyone praised him for being amazing.
Wow I never thought Id hear that about our kid.
It would have been unimaginable in the past. Han Daepyo, who had sworn off drinking, ordered a bottle of liquor and shared it with Park Siljang.
Excuse , manager-nim.
Yes?
Hes not really raising a dog, right? I dont see any pictures on his SNS.
Right?
But why did he say that then? Lee Hangyeol wondered, and Lee Taegyeom, who realized it belatedly, covered his mouth with his hand. He rolled his eyes and looked at Lee Hangyeols expression. Co to think of it, this guy slled similar to Lim Seunghyun.
He does have one.
Lee Hangyeol, spotted eting with an agency official during his last vacation
One Sevens Lee Hangyeol, joining Halo dia? Dinner with the CEO and Yoo Yeon Seo
-Lee Hangyeol is going to Halo?
Isnt that Yoo Yeon Seos agency?
Wow congrats
He joined a good place
I like him, hes turning things around
-But why Halo of all places?
I dont like that;; Why the sa agency as Yoo Yeon Seo
Why not the sa agency?
Its disgusting how youre trying to suck up to him now, when you were bashing him before
Who bashed him?
Dont you rember him saying he had a hard ti because of the mber who left? Want to give you the link?
He didnt know about the investnt then
Its too much to say hes sucking up just because theyre in the sa agency, right?
-I honestly wish he didnt get involved with
22
3333
Yeah, too, hes a group killer
-Honestly, it seems like the haters of Lee Han-gyeol have flocked to this fanfic.
Stop using my actor for your hate comnts.
-Wow, but this is a reversal of fortune. I used to hope that he wouldnt get involved with Yoo Yeon Seo, lol.
Now its the opposite, lol. I still cant forget the insults he got back then, lol.
He should experience the sa thing, lol, lol.
But lets not beco like them.
Honestly, arent the fans of One Seven funny? As soon as the truth ca out, they started saying they were fans of Seven all along, lol.
They were high on the reverse run, saying that our kids couldnt make it because of Yoo Yeon Seo, but it turned out that the one who sucked the blood was that guy.
Who paid for the albums that kept them on the reverse run?
The next day, Yoo Yeon Seo visited the movie theater for the first ti in a long ti. As soon as he got off the elevator, flashes went off everywhere. Yoo Yeon Seo didnt blink an eye, as if he had gotten used to it.
Yeon Seo!
Youre here?
The directors Lee Jung-hoon and Cheon Seong-min, who were interviewing in front of the reporters, waved their hands.
Long ti no see.
Uh but is the screening room really here?
Yes.
Here?
Lee Jung-hoon stared blankly at the entrance of the screening room that he was about to enter. It was the largest screen in Korea.
I have so dignity, you know. Its not cool to screen in a regular theater.
If youre going to do it, you might as well do it big, right? Lee Jung-hoon looked touched by that remark. Oh, he shouldnt be moved already.
What is this?
A debut celebration gift. Its nothing much.
Wow
Today was the day of the press screening of Lee Jung-hoons directorial debut film Only. There were so many seats left that they invited so people from the dia, and they also told the directors acquaintances to invite whoever they wanted.
Director Cheon, isnt this an expensive wine?
This is wow
Lee Jung-hoons film Only was supposed to be released in early 2022, but it was postponed because a foreign comic-based blockbuster series landed at that ti.
Director Cheon Seong-mins eyes sparkled like a childs at the wine gift that Lee Jung-hoon received.
Oh Can I get that gift too?
Ill give it to you if you win an award at a film festival.
Why is the bar so high for ?
Why? Youll win at least one, right?
Yoo Yeon Seo, who was joking with Director Cheon, glanced at Lee Jung-hoon, who was showing off his wine to his acquaintances. He had built a lot of connections since he was a screenwriter for Director Cheon.
I wish he brought so useful people
He didnt know, but it was quite fun to raise people. He looked at how he changed from a timid first impression of being robbed of his synopsis to a dignified director now. He realized that there was nothing money couldnt do.
But the film company Goo Sang didnt co? I even put stickers on the invitations
You have a bad hobby, you know.
Its fun.
Director Cheon laughed at that answer, and Yoo Yeon Seo also laughed out loud. So of the people who were buzzing behind them ca up to them.
Director, hello.
Huh? Yeon Seo is here too I saw you at the awards ceremony
They were the actors who participated in Only. They greeted Director Cheon warmly and turned their bodies to look at Yoo Yeon Seo with shining eyes. Oh, was their goal not Director Cheon but ?
By the way, did Oh Jin-sung senior not co?
No, he said he had a schedule.
As if Yoo Yeon Seo snickered. He didnt know, but he seed to enjoy raising people and making others avoid him because of him.
We should go in soon.
Okay. Ive arranged good seats for you, directors.
It was probably Cha, his secretary, who did it. Yoo Yeon Seo led the two directors into the screening room. It seed like everyone who received the invitation except the film company Goo Sang had taken their seats.
Lee Jung-hoon looked around slowly at the people who filled the seats before he sat down. He felt nostalgic. He clenched his trembling chest and stared at the screen.
(Produced and distributed by JS Entertainnt)
(Producer/Investor: Yoo Yeon Seo)
Two concise sentences written on a black screen, followed by a cool title sequence and the nas of the actors. And then finally, the mont he had been waiting for.
(Director: Lee Jung-hoon)
The sight of his three-letter na filling the movie theater as the director, Lee Jung-hoon felt a surge of emotion.
