chapter 19
contract with crankup
Director Kim Han-soo shouts the last cut, and the fire in the restaurant goes dark, and Yeon-woo appears with a cake prepared in advance with the staff hiding on the other side.
The sound director quickly assisted by playing music on the connected speakers.
“What, when did you prepare. Everyone!”
Soon, the tears in her eyes reddened, and the tip of her nose frowned.
Of course, the historical drama, which was the previous work, was also successful at the box office and gave awards, but the atmosphere was not very friendly.
Although ‘Summer Wardrobe’ is a smaller work in terms of scale, the atmosphere of the filming site was so good that Sohyun’s affection for this work was greater than for her previous works.
The lights were turned on again softly, and director Kim Han-soo got up and said with his cell phone.
“Our three main actors, get together. I’ll take a commemorative photo.”
“Ah, director. There are so many good cameras, will you take pictures with your cell phone?”
All the staff laughed at Jinwook’s words as he looked around the filming site.
“Originally, commemorative photos are taken with a phone. Haha.”
Yeon-woo took the cake and went to the two, and the three stood with So-hyun in the middle.
“Come on, let’s take a picture. One two three.”
click.
The director, who was excited by the picturesque appearance of the three even just standing still, demanded one more time.
“Let’s take one more shot. One two three.”
click.
“Fuck.”
Sohyun’s small scream echoed with a click.
Yeon-woo scooped a little whipped cream from the cake with his finger and lightly smeared it on So-hyun’s cheeks while filming.
“You, Yeonwoo!”
wow haha
The scene burst into laughter at the lively appearance of the lead actors.
“Wow, director. This picture is so natural and nice. It almost could have been used as a poster for our drama. It’s a late story.”
“It really is. It was a good piece of work. A lot of hard work.”
Director Kim Han-soo also looked at the photos and nodded to greet the assistant director for his hard work.
“Oh, director, I feel it every time I shoot, but I respect it.”
Director Kim Han-soo smiled at the sincere words of the assistant director that did not feel like a father.
The staff also smile at each other and say hello to their neighbors for their hard work.
Then the youngest Yeon-woo cried out.
“Directors. Brothers and sisters! The auxiliary performers also take a commemorative photo with our group. Let’s take a normal picture before the dinner party!”
“Hahaha. You can’t not obey our youngest child.”
As cinematographer Kang In-chan moved first and gathered, the staff began to move.
“The performers also come here! Let’s take a picture together.”
The assistant performers at the table behind Seojun and Yeoreum also stood up and started to gather at Yeonwoo’s words.
By pushing the table aside, making room for it, and starting to gather, there were dozens of people.
In the middle, writer Mi-hyeon Choi, supporting actors, director Kim Han-soo, and the three main actors who visited because it was the last filming stood in the middle, and the staff and auxiliary actors lined up around it.
The filming team set up a tripod, held the remote remote in hand and connected it to the field camera.
Then he ran up and shouted.
‘Now, look at the monitor over there and I’ll take just one picture. Don’t close your eyes. Even if I go around a lot of star stars with my eyes closed, I am not responsible.”
Wow!
“Come on, one two three.”
click.
So the filming of ‘Summer Wardrobe’ ended.
It was ironic that the only person who closed his eyes during the commemorative photo shoot was the shooting team staff who pressed the shooting remote control.
***
It’s been 2 weeks since I came back to Daejeon after finishing the last filming.
Suddenly, ‘Summer Wardrobe’ aired until episode 6.
Due to the nature of the genre, ‘Summer Wardrobe’, which spreads through SNS rather than viewer ratings, has grown in popularity with short videos circulating everywhere.
Of course, interest in Ryu Yeon-woo, who appeared like a comet, grew with him.
In his previous life, Yeon-woo was a timid student who lived as if there were none, so there were not many friends who clearly remembered him throughout elementary, middle and high school.
Even if they knew, they did not think that they were the same person as Yeon-woo after losing weight, so the only information reporters could collect one-dimensionally without delving into it was her school life in Daejeon after the transfer.
The story of Yeon-woo, who is called a mother-in-law because of her excellent school grades and good evaluation by her alumni, continued to come out, and you tubers who deal with the issue spread the story with excitement.
These days, it has become a complete blue chip, so if you put the name ‘Ryu Yeon-woo’ in the thumbnail, you can secure the basic number of views.
Since Yeonwoo does not use SNS, Sungsik’s star star account, where daily photos are occasionally posted, was flooded with followers.
Thanks to the enthusiastic support of Seong-sik’s fans (?), Seong-sik said that he would go to Yeon-woo’s house every day, and took pictures of his daily life as an exclusive photographer.
“Kya, I like taking pictures. Shall I become a photographer too?”
“Even looking at your selfie? You don’t take Yeonwoo, it’s just that Yeonwoo is included in the picture.”
Junsu, who could not naturally watch Seongsik’s self-congratulations, tackled it.
“I have to take several pictures and release one a week only with the ones Yeonwoo allowed.”
Hearing Junsu’s tackle like that with one ear, Seongsik fell into the picture without even hearing it.
After playing for a while at Yeonwoo’s house, Sungsik and Junsu went home and the next day came.
Today is the day I visit LN Entertainment with my father.
After filming the drama, Jeong Chul-min and Son Jin-wook, who attended a dinner party, whispered to each other, and immediately had a conversation with an LN media official on the spot.
After some discussion, he decided to sign a contract with LN Entertainment, and Jeong Cheol-min, who was entrusted with authority by Yeon-woo’s father, was supposed to help with Yeon-woo’s first contract.
Of course, this is possible because Yeon-woo also trusted the humanity of Jeong Chul-min, his first acting teacher.
Jin-wook gladly helped the pretty younger brother he made through the work by tying it up with his contract, raising Yeon-woo’s ransom a little bit more, and confirmed what kind of poison clause there was.
After going through such a series of processes, I came to an agreement with LN Entertainment on pretty good terms compared to other agencies that received the offer, and today is the day I go to sign the contract.
The three of them moved together in Jeong Chul-min’s car and arrived at LN Entertainment’s office building. Soon after, Yeon-woo met Kim Joo-seong, the representative of the agency.
“It’s nice to meet a hot actor these days. I’ll meet my father and actor Jeong Chul-min for the first time.”
A well-groomed middle-aged gentleman with pomade hair stood up from his seat, greeted politely and asked for a handshake.
Satisfied with the good first impression, they greeted each other and signed the contract amicably.
“It is an honor to have such a good actor in our agency. Ryu Yeon-woo is still young, so won’t he continue to grow in the future?”
Ryu Chul-woong responded to Kim Joo-seong’s words.
“As the father of my son who is entering the entertainment industry for the first time, I am very grateful for taking care of me in many ways during the filming of my first work and signing a good contract.”
“Haha. Since our agency is directly operated by LN Media, one of the leading production companies in Korea, we have no intention of generating excessive profits from the management of the actors. It is like cutting the belly of the goose that lays golden eggs. “
If you belong to LN Entertainment, of course, it is not compulsory, but it is inevitable that you will appear frequently in the works planned by the parent company.
From the LN Media perspective, they can exert that much influence in the industry, so they mutually support each other.
In fact, this can be an advantage for Yeonwoo, a new actor, because he can easily access his work whenever he wants.
“Now, as stated in the contract, I understand that you will take a break from your work and concentrate on your studies until you become an adult.”
“Yes, thank you for your convenience.”
Yeonwoo responded to the president’s words.
“Since the actor’s academic performance is very good, the agency will also welcome it with open arms in terms of the actor’s image.”
‘Summer Wardrobe’, which has just started, will end on March 1, including the Lunar New Year holiday in the middle.
Even if Yeonwoo doesn’t work until the entrance exam, it’s only been about 8 months.
Anyway, like other actors, it’s a break that doesn’t make much difference even if you take a break on average and start your next project.
“Then, if you need anything during the break, you can request it through Team Leader Jeong, who was originally in charge.”
Everyone stood up and shook hands with the CEO, and the three men returned to Daejeon in Cheol-min’s car.
From the next day, Yeon-woo went back to daily life by exercising and studying at the same time.
Of course, the internet was raging mainly among the young, and even when going to the mart in front of the house, more people would recognize it if they didn’t have a hat and mask.
However, he did not have a sincere and regular lifestyle from his previous life.
Bare body exercise and regular study habits as usual before debut.
And the school friends I meet occasionally, and above all, I practice acting consistently with time and sincerity.
The difference from my previous life is that I watch more dramas to practice acting.
‘Summer Wardrobe’ has already aired 10 episodes, and the ratings have continued to rise, reaching 13.7 percent. Even compared to the JNBC dramas that aired last year, it is already the highest rating.
In the drama team’s group chat room, only good news was heard, which broke its own record whenever it aired every week.
Unlike that atmosphere, Yeon-woo, who maintains a regular life, was planning to go to Jeong Chul-min’s acting academy to practice various things because it’s Saturday day if it’s normal today.
My parents left in the morning saying there was a couple’s meeting, and Sohyun left in the morning saying I had an appointment with my friends.
Yeon-woo was waiting for a gas inspection visit at the house alone.
tiling.
Yeon-woo, who was slowly preparing to leave his room, heard a noise from the front door, so he thought it was an inspection, but he went out to the living room at the sound of the door lock opening instead of the doorbell.
“Huh? Is Sohyun already here?”
The younger brother enters the hallway. After that, two more friends came in.
