chapter 64
A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 64
Baek Soo-rim looked closely at director Oh Sang-sik’s face and said.
“But before asking the question, Director Oh Sang-sik’s face was too thin. More than when I met him in <Baristas Don’t Know Coffee>. What has happened in the meantime?”
“No, what’s going on? It was probably because I was filming <Right Arm Co., Ltd.>.”
“Is it because you have a lot to worry about?”
“no. The filming went well, so there is no time to rest. It’s been a little over a month since we started filming, but we’ve already moved on to episode 5.”
Filming for the drama was going really fast.
Because the original script was clear, preparation for filming was easy, and there were hardly any NGs from the actors.
“Oh yeah? Five already?”
“Yeah, the script is so perfect that you just have to shoot it as it is.”
“Hey. I am very much looking forward to it. Then I will ask the director first.”
“Yes, ask.”
Baek Soo-rim, a comedian who specializes in hosting such events.
He was a class A host who wanted to serve each other because he liked the flow of water and the occasional gag.
Today, as the office battle and the production presentation overlapped, there was a competition to bring her together, but fortunately, she chose our right arm.
“What kind of drama is Right Arm Co., Ltd.? Could you please explain briefly?”
“Yes, <Right Arm Co., Ltd.> is an exhilarating action thriller in which Jeong Byeong-soo and Han Ji-hyeon of Right Arm Co., Ltd., a state secret agency, fight against the absolute evil that is trying to plunge the world into chaos and despair.”
You must have done a lot of interview practice.
Director Oh Sang-sik pointed out the key points in a short and concise manner.
“Oh, that would be fun. Just listen to the description. Now, the next question is…”
A few more formal questions followed, and the microphone passed to Gam Woo-hyuk.
“Mr. Gam Woo-hyuk.”
“yes.”
“I knew I was in good shape before, but I think I did a lot of bulking this time. To be honest, I think I shouted ‘Show me your muscles’ several times in my mind.”
“Can you show me?”
“oh! really.”
“There’s nothing I can’t show you. It’s an exercise I want to show you.”
Gam Woo-hyuk comes forward without hesitation and takes off his shirt.
“Wow!”
“Oh, my God!”
Click, click, click.
With admiration, the camera flashes poured out.
“Wow. Even if I show Woohyuk Gam’s body, I will eat 10% of the ratings and enter.”
“Gosh. thank you.”
“It’s the exhilarating action that comes out of that body… that’s it. But by the way. Gam Woo-hyuk, you showed a lot in the previous work, so even if that’s the case.”
This time, Baek Soo-rim shifts her gaze to Min Yu-ri.
“I can’t believe that Min Yu-ri acted the action himself. Min Yu-ri, I know there is a lot of action in this drama, did you really do it yourself?”
“Yes, I did everything that appeared in the highlight scene a while ago.”
“really?”
“yes. It really is.”
“Oh really? 100 percent?”
“You don’t believe me. Shall I show you?”
When Baek Soo-rim kept doubting, Min Yuri, who was a little weak, signaled to lay down a mat.
I could have done a martial arts demonstration today or not, but Min Yu-ri decided to do it.
Two facilitators quickly came out, spread a mat, and exited.
“Then let me show you.”
Min Yuri walked out to the front of the stage with confidence.
He turned around and looked at Kam Woo-hyeok and me alternately, then looked into my eyes and smiled.
‘Could it be me?’
no matter how close we are
out of the blue?
This wasn’t even on a prior appointment.
Min Yuri even motioned for her to come out quickly.
‘Oh, Yuri. Please don’t do that.’
I shook my head and gave a nice smile. as a sign of earnest refusal.
But Yuri Min was persistent. I grabbed the mic and snorted,
“Writer. Can you help me?”
Officially requested to be a pilot.

A flash that fires more than when Gam Woo-hyuk cuts his chin.
Journalists writing articles have also gotten faster.
‘Ha, I can’t help it. If you can’t avoid it, you can’t help but enjoy it.’
I had no choice but to put on a more friendly smile and went out to the mat,
Min Yuri whispered into my ear.
“Writer, just put your right arm slightly over my shoulder. I’m going to pick you up, so you just have to follow what I give you.”
“All right. I will only trust Mr. Yuri.”
The dice was thrown. I can only leave it up to fate.
“There is a scene where Han Ji-hyun fights Gil Byung-soo. I’ll show you the self-defense jiu-jitsu that goes into that scene.”

While everyone held their breath,
Min Yu-ri throws a glance signal at me to start.
sh-
I stretched out my right arm to grab her shoulder as instructed.
And after that, I don’t know what happened.
It’s just that in my field of vision, the jumbled images seen when the camera is splendidly rotated in an old music program pass for a moment, because some kind of pain rides through my chest and my body stops moving at the same time.
Perhaps Min Yu-ri threw herself into my arm while holding my arm, knocking her off balance,
Spin me through the air and knock me over,
Ride my body round and round and press my chest with your butt
It was as if both of my knees were immobilizing my arms.
It happened so quickly that I was just bewildered.
When you come to your senses
Min Yuri sat on my body and just smiled.
click.
click.
click.
clap clap.
clap clap clap.
wow
wow wow
The sound of shutters bursting from all directions, loud applause, and shouts were mixed and exploded.
“Wow, whoa. hey Min Yuri is really amazing!!!”
Even Baek Soo-rim was unable to speak and clapped and rolled her feet.
So everyone was happy and laughing.
Well, I felt fine.
Among Korean men, who has a hand on Min Yu-ri’s ass?
intestines are cleared
After that, the interview went smoothly.
The next question came to me.
“Ah, writer Jaeho Yoon.”
“yes.”
“Your first work, <Barista Doesn’t Know Coffee>, exploded a lot, but do you think <Right Arm Co.> will also explode?”
“yes. It looks like it will explode. Director Oh Sang-shik, all the actors, production company Forest, and Ping Pong Plus, who made a big investment. I was convinced every time I met each person to make a drama.”
“More than Baccomo?”
“That’s right.”
clap clap
“yes. That’s great confidence. Is there anything you would like to see in your work?”
“I hope it is a drama that viewers find interesting, want to see again, and will not be forgotten even after several years have passed. And I hope to receive many awards.”
“Oh ho ho. our writer. You are very greedy.”
The interview is now in the final stage.
Baek Soo-rim looked at all of us and asked.
“Finally, <Right Arm Co., Ltd.> What, is there any promise?”
Are you talking about the ratings promise?
It wasn’t decided in advance, so we just looked at each other.
“All the other teams do it during production presentations. Also, you have to do this to make the viewers happy, and the ratings are also good.”
As Baek Soo-rim pushes it hard,
Gam Woo-hyuk, who has a hot personality, made a bombastic remark.
“Oh, I must. Our team, of course. If the viewership ratings exceed 25%, I will take off my shirt and dance the popular sizzling dance in the middle of Gwanghwamun Square.”
“Really? Woo Hyuk.”
“Absolutely.”
“What about our Yuri, the director, and the writer?”
“I will.”
“I will.”
First, Min Yu-ri took an active role, and director Oh Sang-sik also stepped in.
Everyone seems to think that 25% will come out.
Their gazes with smiles were focused on me.
“No, no.”
I am the one who answers with no laughter. Jaeho Yoon.
Everyone, opal is over 24% in episode 12.
It doesn’t make sense to sizzle dance at 25%.
“Ah, don’t do that. The writer also does it.”
“I’m doing it for fun.”
“I will dance with the artist.”
“Everyone begs you like this, will you? Writer?”
Baek Soo-rim, who smiles and kills for confirmation.
“no. I won’t.”
I refused to the end, slaughter,
Everyone seemed to think it was a joke, and burst into laughter.
“Yes. That will be fine. Today, the <Right Arm Co., Ltd.> team was very, very pleasant. We wish for a great viewership tonight and we will finish the production presentation here.”
Coincidentally (?), PBS’s <Right Arm Co., Ltd.> and NBC’s <Office Battle> had their first broadcasts at the same time.
***
On the way home from the production presentation, I stopped by the mart and bought foods that would make my stomach happy, such as Jeju black pork belly, lettuce, sesame leaves, mushrooms, radish wraps, water parsley, ssamjang, and soju beer.
It was because I decided to watch the first episode of Right Arm Co., Ltd. while eating grilled meat with my friend Hangul this evening.
After returning home, I wash and trim the food I bought, arrange it so that it can be eaten, and do some cleaning.
Wei Ying-
A text came from the bank.
[SS All One Bank]
Forest Entertainment sent the money to Jaeho Yoon’s KKS account.
Amount sent: 40,000,000 won
Recipient: Yoon Jae-ho
Deposit Bank: SS Bank
762****7114611
It was the first manuscript fee for <Right Arm Co., Ltd.>.
Opalju signed a contract to receive a manuscript fee of 10 million won per episode with a down payment of 10 million won.
So, I received 10 million won when I first stamped, and 40 million won was deposited as manuscript fees for the 4 episodes today, when the first episode is aired. In the future, when episodes 5, 9, and 13 aired, they would each receive an additional 40 million won.
Again, there is an incentive clause.
If the ratings exceed 20%, 200 million won, and if the ratings exceed 25%, 300 million more will be received.
When I thought of the money in my bank account and the money to be put in the future, I smiled.
The money currently in the bank account is about 100 million won, the money that will come in the future as the manuscript fee for opal liquor is 120 million won, and if you receive an incentive, 300 million won.
After a few months, a total of about 520 million won will be put in my bank account.
I was thinking of using that money to get a writing office.
‘One main writer’s room, one conference room, and one bathroom in a spacious office. I’d like to have this much… Then money will be tight. If you give up on a good neighborhood, you can save it, but if you go too far out of town, your commute will be long and it will be difficult to meet the people involved…’
More than 500 million dollars is an ambiguous amount to do anything else.
That’s why I thought people were greedy for money.
First, we looked at the price of an officetel that was one step lower. The neighborhood is Yeouido.
[Villa City 31.64㎡ / 21.07㎡ 5000/110 Northeast]
[Millesium 59.30㎡ / 42.97㎡ 9,000/170 southeast]
[Eclarit 66.12㎡ / 49.58㎡ 8,000/160 southeast]
‘This is enough for me to get in. It’s a little narrow… But not right now, so let’s think about it a little more.’
I decided to think about the office later, and first put the fire on the rooftop. Because the time has come for Hangyul to come.
The pork belly and the washed ssam vegetables pickled kimchi, garlic, pepper, onion, ssamjang, and ssam radish were set, and finally, a bottle of soju and two glasses of soju were served.
Just then, a text message came to Han-Hyeol.
[Arrive in 5 minutes.]
boy. I’m also lucky to eat. I’m coming because everything is ready.
[okay. Then put the meat on the fire now.]
[okay]
Chi profit-
Sizzling-
The savory pork belly was cooked well with a clear sound. When one side is cooked, turn over and cook the other side.
“Wow, the delicious smell vibrates.”
Hangyul climbs the stairs holding a large bottle of wine.
“Come on. came just right I just need to eat.”
“Oh, soju.”
Hangyul quickly ran over and emptied a glass of soju.
“Kya~~. The cold runs away.”
When I put a piece of cooked meat on the plate, it was wrapped in shredded shredded meat and went straight into my mouth.
“Hey~~~. melts melt It really melts.”
Hangyul gave a thumbs up and prepared to eat in earnest.
Refill the empty glass with soju and fill up my glass again. Cheers.
braided!
The pork belly was well cooked without lacking.
“But what kind of wine is it?”
“Oh, this is very expensive. My name is Porto Baldo…”
“Oh, okay. I’ll bet you know it’s expensive.”
“Nope. Nope. listen carefully. Porto Baldouro. It’s white wine, but it’s 19 degrees.”
Hangyul looked at the label and recited the name of the wine.
“Eh? Is the alcohol level that high?”
Isn’t wine usually around 12 degrees?
But is it higher than soju?
“Today is the first broadcast of Opal. You should drink this much.”
“okay. Let’s taste good wine thanks to our friends and try it properly.”
Dip the grilled pork belly in ssamjang and put it on lettuce and perilla leaves. Then, top with ripe garlic and radish wraps, sook in one bite.
well well well
“Uh, uh. It’s okay, it’s okay. After all, it tastes like this.”
The savory gravy fills you with every bite you take.
“now. Let’s have a drink.”
“okay. okay.”
Pour soju over the taste of the meat that calls for alcohol, drink it. To drive away the chill from the roof, I drove it crazy.
braided!
braided!
braided!
“For writer Yoon’s first successful mini-series!”
“for!”
tornado!
I emptied all 3 bottles of soju while making a tornado that YouTubers often do at drinking mukbang.
I even picked up the wine that Han-gyeol brought.
“Ugh. Hey, do you know what it smells like?”
Hangyul, who pours the wine into a glass and smells it like a sommelier, tilted her head and asked.
I tried to imitate it, but I couldn’t feel anything because I was already very drunk.
“No, I don’t know. Let’s just drink.”
“okay. Let’s just drink.”
“good night.”
The wine went down my throat like water. A 19-degree wine was more watery than a 16-degree soju.
Get excited, pour more, drink
At this point, I’d like to ask my friend’s regards as well.
“How is your company?”
“good. The manager is also good.”
“Team Leader?”
“Yeah, he’s younger than me, but he’s the secretary. It’s a case where I got into the job right after graduating from college and was recognized for my abilities.”
“It’s fine. The general manager?”
“Ah, as you said, General Manager Hong Da-bin was not the person we thought he was.”
“How are you?”
“It’s smart, it’s wild, it’s good, it’s okay. very much.”
“Ohh.”
“At first, I thought I died after being assigned to the secretary’s office, but it’s not. There’s no such thing as a boss’ attack, and there’s no such thing as personal errands. You know that I am meeting you today, and you brought me such expensive wine.”
“Eh? Did this wine manager give it to you?”
“Yeah, you decided to do the third project with us, Ping Pong. He said that your health is the health of our Ping Pong, and he told us to drink expensive alcohol.”
“this. Then it is an extension of the work.”
“What the hell…”
“. It’s a joke. Come on, take my cup again.”
So we kept drinking.
The more I got drunk, the more I couldn’t control my excitement, and I kept laughing and talking,
At one point, I felt like I was the only one doing it.
As I watched, Han Kyul-i was getting more serious as he talked less and less as he drank. Then it’s like crying.
“Why are you saying that there is no problem in your company life? Just tell me.”
“What?”
“I can tell just by looking at your expression. A drunk guy doesn’t laugh, so you believe that nothing happened?”
“Ah… did you notice?”
“yes. So tell me.”
“that is…”
Hangyul, who had been lingering for a while, mixed wine and soju in a beer glass and poured it into his mouthful.
Then he opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Blanne and the boss are gone.”
“What?”
omg!
Are you talking about Song Seon-ah here?
