An Agency That Attracts Genius Trainees

“To appear as an actor in a music video means you have to stand in front of the camera and act. I’m still not sure about that. So, instead, I’m grateful to Yuna.”

Then, what made Arin fall into trouble?

“Listen to the debut song today. Even the word “music video” came out of the CEO’s mouth. So it made sense.”

I will be debuting soon. The words were swallowed in Arin’s mouth.

“If you debut, you’ll be appearing on music shows soon, right?”

“That’s right… that’s right.”

I got it.

I forgot about it for a while due to my busy schedule.

About what Arin is worried about.

If you debut and digest your schedule as a singer, there will inevitably be people you meet.

And they must have made Arin worry.

“Arin.”

“yes?”

“Now you are not alone. I am the representative who will take responsibility for you and protect you. Also, if someone attacks you, you have a sister but colleague, Yuna, who will help you.”

At my words, Arin, who had been lowering his head for a moment, heard a sigh of laughter coming from Arin’s mouth.

“that’s right. I was thinking stupid thoughts by myself again.”

“yes?”

“Yuna bought me some meat the other day.”

what?

meat?

“It is also beef. Korean beef special.”

Rather than being sad that he didn’t call me there. On the contrary, I was relieved to think that the two of them had become that close.

“The colleague who buys beef. A really good colleague.”

“that’s right. If I succeed, Yuna and the CEO will definitely buy me beef.”

Arin’s words, as if making a firm decision, made me smile.

“okay. Let’s eat our beef.”

“I’ll go! CEO, please enter carefully!”

As she gets out of the car and heads home, Arin’s shoulders seem lighter.

So, let’s work even busier now.

Antenna Film Director Kang Dong-joo.

He was in a very uncomfortable state right now.

“So look at me and that HW? WH? Anyway, you’re telling me to film a dishing music video there.”

“no way. Director. Instead, they say the song is a song that Ringo participated in.”

Director Kang Dong-joo burst into anger at the words of an employee who soothed him.

“Ringo didn’t even compose it. I heard it’s a debut song made by Ringo’s friend. It’s a name I’ve never seen before.”

It was a time when filmography was important.

Where and what to make at a time when you need to create even more works to build up in the same situation.

Director Kang Dong-joo shook his hand in a nervous tone.

“It’s okay not to.”

Looking at director Kang Dong-joo, the staff quickly continued.

“Director. Instead, Ringo promised that if the company would help us this time, he would definitely do the next project with us. The song I’m working on is a perfect match with the director.”

“okay? Then the story is a bit different.”

His hand, which was about to refuse at once, stopped. It was a car that I was sick to my stomach because the last music video was taken away by another company.

Even more so because people are already raving about the music video being chosen well.

But he even promises that the next song will be with him unconditionally?

“Hmm. then let’s see If you have a concept you want and an actor you want to appear in, come along.”

There was a reason why the company wanted to gently appease director Kang Dong-ju and entrust him with the job.

Because he is a director who shoots music videos with a movie-like mise-en-scène.

Even without spending a lot of money, he was a talented person who pulled out a picture like a scene from a movie.

If only he had a beggarly personality, there wouldn’t have been a better director than him.

When I open the door, the music video director’s sullen expression catches my eye.

“CEO. It’s true that the director has a bit of a personality. But one screen really pulls it out brilliantly. It doesn’t even cost much to make. So trust me and do it together, even if it’s a little awkward.”

These were the words Ringo said while holding me before the meeting.

Certainly, after watching the music videos shot by director Kang Dong-joo, I could understand why Ringo chose him in a pinch.

A song composed by Park Ki-beom. And it seemed that if Yuna appeared, it would make a good picture.

“And from what I’ve seen, if you show that cheat key right at the end, you’ll probably do it enthusiastically.”

Recalling what Ringo said, I greeted director Kang Dong-ju.

“This is Woohyuk Choi from WH Entertainment.”

“Nice to meet you. First, let’s check the concept we want.”

It was obvious that I didn’t like it. However, the other side is A and this side is E.

“To film this, the actor is important. Is that CEO Choi? Right? I don’t know if CEO Choi knows it well, but if the actors are messed up, the picture itself won’t come out.”

Director Kang Dong-joo’s grumbling continues. However, his eyes are sharp as he examines the concept.

I heard that he is the type to take care of the work he is assigned to, even if he has complaints.

“So I came with an actor to appear in. It is written there, but it is also the member who will sing that song. I am waiting outside now.”

“uh? is it so? Then let’s see and talk more.”

The door opened and Yuna came in, but director Kang Dong-ju’s eyes were still on the paper.

“hello! My name is Yuna Choi.”

Even so, Yuna didn’t mind and said hello.

The moment director Kang Dong-joo raises his head with a clear voice and a desire to see his face.

“uh?”

It stopped as if it was out of order.

“Chief Choi. Didn’t one of the members say they were appearing?”

He asks me in a creaking voice.

“you’re right. I’d like Choi Yuna to appear as the main character in the music video. Are you worried about your acting skills?”

“Oh, no. Wait a minute.”

Suddenly, Director Kang Dong-ju is in a hurry.

I take my phone out of my pocket and urgently call someone.

“hey. Prepare a set below right now. what? what are you talking about all of a sudden It’s just that I have something to check, so get ready.”

After hanging up the phone, Kang Dong-ju examines Yuna’s face.

A music video director who pulls out a movie-like mise-en-scène.

In other words, it means to fantasize to extract pictures.

A director who is absorbed in a picture-like scene.

And the element that such a director wants most is the actor.

Director Kang Dong-joo’s gaze is directed this way. It was as if he had something to say but couldn’t come out of his mouth.

“Chief Choi. Looking at the members who brought them. What… that’s not bad You have that shot. Let’s talk a little bit more about that.”

Looking at him like that, I replied slowly.

“Maybe?”

Just then, my cell phone vibrated inside my arms.

After asking director Kang Dong-ju for his understanding, he got up and went to the corner to answer the phone.

“I am Choi Woo-hyuk, CEO of WH. yes? Where are you?”

ah. Orange film… I almost swallowed the afterwords.

Before coming here, I put my phone in the orange film in time for lunch.

Please contact me after lunch break.

The music video that Orange Film won after competing with director Kang Dong-joo the other day was a hit.

The moment I hung up the phone and turned around.

It’s a surprise.

Director Kang Dong-joo, who is staring at us with his ears perked up, catches my eye.

“Chief Choi. let’s do it with me I’ll give you an amazing pick.”

Biting the bait faster than expected.

“Maybe?”

Episode 21

＜Sad Promise＞

Arin and Yuna’s debut song, as well as Park Ki-bum’s first debut song.

Sending away the lover I loved by betrayal.

It was a song about a woman’s promise to never fall in love again.

“Chief. Can I do well?”

And before the full-scale shooting, a trembling Yuna was in front of me.

“You can do it. Filming will start soon, so let’s just do what the teacher taught us.”

The visible light of talent did not lie.

The teacher, who was supposed to take acting lessons for a while for this music video shoot, made a fuss to learn more.

The regrettable thing is that Yuna was not the type to radiate genius from the beginning.

According to the teacher, this child can become great if he learns properly over time.

That’s not the point.

Filming begins soon.

Directed by Kang Dong-joo. And numerous staff members are busy moving.

After finishing her makeup, Yuna appears.

Even the busy staff stop walking and become agitated. Because of Yuna’s overwhelming beauty.

In a situation where I didn’t expect much because the members of the group appeared.

Yuna’s appearance must have been that shocking.

Me and Arin looking at Yuna happily. And there was director Kang Dong-ju.

no. Director Kang Dong-joo Why are you?

“Whoa.”

After taking a deep breath, Yuna’s eyes show determination.

At the same time, director Kang Dong-ju shouted.

“Let’s start filming!”

This scene was simple.

A woman who has been betrayed by her lover rushes to a public phone and makes numerous calls with trembling hands.

But a lover who does not accept.

And, realizing that he was betrayed, he collapsed on the spot and sobbed at the end.

“Ready~ Action!”

the camera is rolling

A woman runs to a payphone.

The urgency, the unbelievable reality, and the apparent sense of betrayal.

So far so good.

Director Kang Dong-joo, who was looking at Yuna through the camera, had a smile on his lips as well.

But the moment I hesitated was when the smile on his lips stiffened.

“Cart!”

Director Kang Dong-joo got up from his seat with nervousness and shouted.

“Miss Yuna. let’s do it again That expression was a bit unfortunate.”

“yes! I’ll try again!”

Even though she had just heard a nervous noise, Yuna was spirited.

the camera turns again

“Cart! no. Because you can’t express it like that. Now I have to show the betrayal of parting!”

Why are you like that?

This is what I thought after watching Yuna’s acting.

She was definitely Yuna, who received great praise from her teacher until she learned how to express love and feelings about breakups.

I did.

Now, even though I see it with my own two eyes, not the camera, the person holding the phone and pressing the button was Yuna, not the woman who is the main character of the music video.

In other words, there was Yuna, who was not the main character of a broken heart, but had a youthful appearance.

“Cart!”

“Cart!”

After that, the filming continued without progress.

Just like director Kang Dong-joo, who is picky but has certain skills.

Because it was his iron rule to keep going until the picture he wanted came out.

“Let’s take a break for a while. Eh. The picture is good, but the actors play too separately. I can’t film like this. Let’s hold on to the actor’s emotions again.”

In the end, director Kang Dong-ju announced a break. It disappeared with a click of the tongue.

The staff also have cold eyes, which had widened when Yuna appeared.

After watching all this for a while, I moved on.

At the same time as the director announced a break, Yuna sat down and buried her head.

“It’s Yuna. it’s hard?”

“…”

Yuna, who buried her head, is silent for a moment.

As I knelt down next to Yuna, I heard a voice the size of a mosquito.

“I get the feeling that I’m just innocent or crazy, but I really don’t know about love. It was okay even when I was learning from the teacher. When I got here and started acting, my hair went white.”

“okay?

“yes. In particular, it’s not just love, but the sadness caused by that breakup…”

Yes.

Yuna is a student who has not yet graduated.
