National Intelligence Service Agent Reincarnated as a Genius Actor

chapter 9



Summer Wardrobe Script Reading (1)

A few days have passed since I signed a contract with LN Media.

“Hmm, I see.”

A problem that I never thought about since I decided to start a new life.

‘What happened to my fortune as a Jeon Su-hwan in my previous life?’

Actual deaths are rare, but due to the nature of field agents entering an operational area where their lives are at risk anyway, the state-managed non-profit foundation determines the heir in advance for severance pay and property, and sets pledges on bonds and debts in advance.

Since Yeonwoo has been in the overseas part for 10 years before his death, he rarely enters Korea, so he doesn’t have a house in Korea, and most of the places he used to live in the operation area were not houses supported by the embassy.

‘The cash in the bankbook must have been in billions of units. How did I designate it?’

Yeon-woo, who thought deeply, clapped his hands.

“The House of Love and Hope.”

The House of Love and Hope is a long-established children’s welfare facility located in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, where Yeon-woo’s former life ‘Jeon Soo-hwan’ grew up.

The heir to the inheritance set by Jeon Soo-hwan in his early 30s, who was assigned as an overseas part, is ‘House of Love and Hope’.

When I got to that point, I wondered if the donation was done properly.

Still, isn’t it the money that you have collected from the money you have given your life to serve the country?

After thinking about it for a long time, Yeonwoo dialed the number written on the Internet.

Tutu tou-.

– yes. It is a house of love and hope.

It’s the first time I hear a female employee’s voice.

It is only natural that 20 years have passed since Yeon-woo from his previous life came out of the orphanage.

“Ah, thank you. I’m calling to ask you one question.”

– yes. Please speak.

“May I know if there was a sponsorship in the name of ‘Jeon Soo-hwan’ last year, that is, in 2017?”

– yes. there is. Our sponsorship details are transparently disclosed on the Internet, right? It’s a big deal. Same question today…

Yeon-woo asked the last words of the employee.

“Same question?”

– yes. Even this morning, a certain prosecutor asked about Suhwan Jeon’s donation history, right?

‘My donation history…?’

“Do you remember the prosecutor’s name?”

– no. I can’t remember. Do you remember when I said Busan District Prosecutor’s Office?

Yeon-woo tilted his head and spoke for a moment.

“Okay. Thanks for letting me know. Good job.”

– yes.

Yeon-woo hung up the phone and sat still, immersed in thought.

‘My donation history at the Busan District Prosecutor’s Office…? Why?’

He did not have any connection with Busan during his lifetime, and even if there was, after his death, personal information is treated as top secret, so the contents will be managed as normal as the general public.

‘There is no way to find out right now.’

Even if someone has doubts about Chun Soo-hwan’s life or conducts an investigation, it is a top-secret matter managed by the state, and he has already died and has no family or friends to suffer from it.

And since it is impossible to find a connection with the reincarnated Yeon-woo in the first place, it doesn’t really matter.

I was just curious.

“Let’s find out secretly when the situation arises later.”

***

As time passed, the first script reading was approaching.

When I explained the situation to the school and submitted a report of absences, my friends were puzzled.

“I knew you were going to an acting academy, but are you skipping school?”

Yeonwoo smiles and answers Junsu’s question.

“Yes, I received an official letter, but it will be difficult to admit attendance, but I think it will probably be processed early.”

“Where are you performing? A friend of mine I know and my brother went to the academy you attended and performed in a small theater.”

“Well, it’s not like that… I’ll let you know when things go a little further.”

I haven’t even started filming yet, but I feel like I’m making a fuss or making a fuss, so I’m trying to tell my friends when the airing date approaches.

Seongsik in the front seat turned his head.

“By the way, if you’re at the top of the school’s ranking, won’t your score be deducted if you don’t attend?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it that way.”

In fact, Yeonwoo, who went to college under the 5th education course, felt that the current education course was far from it and had no interest in it.

“He’s a really strange guy. I’d risk my life if I had low grades. Haha. I suddenly became depressed.”

“University…, I’m not really interested, but if I have to go, go on time.”

Yeonwoo is not interested in college or school life, but her acting career is important right now.

“Still, we’re going to be in 3rd grade soon, and my hyung looked at me and said that. You can go to college right away with a blink of an eye and go to the army right away.”

“···ah?”

Yeonwoo was instantly stunned.

After reincarnating so absurdly, I’ve never even thought about the military until now.

“···I am unwritten?”

“This is another piece of crap. We’re 18.”

“That’s right… I should go to college first. No, I should go to graduate school.”

Junsu and Seongsik tilt their heads at Yeonwoo who alternates between stupid and natural sounds.

***

“Hello. This is Rookie Actor Ryu Yeon-woo. Please take care of me.”

Another floor of the building where I auditioned last time.

Ryu Yeon-woo, who was sitting in the middle of a large conference room, got up and greeted the staff who came in.

“Hey, your face looks like an actor, so why did you come so early? We’re just setting up.”

The staff dispersed and busily prepared to film the whole script reading.

These days, it is essential to upload these making videos before airing to attract viewers’ attention.

“Oh my, you look so pretty, actor.”

From the filming team to the makeup team, Yeon-woo goes to every corner of the conference room to say hello.

“That friend. Aren’t you so sassy?”

“Yeah. Kids these days usually come on time and frown. How long does it take for someone to come and say hello to us first?”

Kang In-chan crosses his arms and speaks.

“But it’s not that the actors these days are bad, it’s because they’re not shy. They say that whenever I take my son wherever I go.”

Kang In-chan, a veteran cinematographer with 20 years of experience, naturally compared him to his son when he saw Yeon-woo, who was tall, handsome, and even bubbly.

“… did you say actor Ryu Yeon-woo?”

“Yeah. I’m going to join the fan club from today.”

Joo-hee smiles slightly at Joo-hee’s words about the fan club.

“You’re a rookie actor. You probably don’t have a fan club yet.”

“Then I’ll make it.”

The make-up team, who was waiting to pick up an interview with the lead actors, had a heart in their eyes.

“By the way, that actor. Did you still have no makeup? Ha, honey skin. I wish I could get my makeup done today.”

“Are you a rookie, will there be a separate interview? I don’t think you’ll be receiving makeup separately today, wouldn’t it be a supporting role or a Jordanian role?”

“That’s right.”

After that, about an hour passed, and there were about 30 minutes left for the reading to begin.

Actors and officials entering the conference hall.

Each of them gathered together with people they had worked with before or had personal acquaintances with, asking for greetings and chatting.

“What is the role of that handsome actor who came to say hello? It’s like meeting him for the first time.”

Actor Son Jin-wook, who plays the male lead ‘Kang Seo-joon’ in this drama, asked nearby actors.

“Well. You said Ryu Yeon-woo? Let’s see.”

Lee Jae-seong, who was looking at the plaque in front of the actor’s seat, looked from the back and found Ryu Yeon-woo’s name in the front seat.

“Senior Jinwook. Is it across from hyung’s seat?”

“Um? Were you chosen for the lead role? I heard that the lead role was finished. If it’s a supporting role, is it Hwang Jae-il?”

“Senior. Jaeil Hwang was in the role. We talked for a while at the audition, what role do you want to play?”

Ahn Jun-ho, who plays Jae-il, raised his hand lightly right next to him.

“Actors and officials, we will start soon, so please take a seat.”

At the same time, the assistant director’s announcement came out, and everyone found their seats and started to sit down.

“Have you greeted me before? Please take care of me. What role did you play?”

Son Jin-wook greets him with a smile when he comes back from the bathroom and sees Yeon-woo sitting across from him.

“Oh, senior. This time, I took on the role of Cha Woo-joo.”

With a bright smile, Yeonwoo answered.

“Ah, that’s right. I heard that Jung Min-hwan was in charge.”

“I heard that you were leaving due to circumstances. Please take care of it. Senior!”

Seeing Yeon-woo greeted warmly, Jin-wook smiled warmly.

“I’m not confident about this because it’s a campus thing, but what would I do if I chose such a handsome friend? I’m 30 now.”

Son Jin-wook, praising Yeon-woo’s handsome face, trembles.

Actor Han So-hyun, who played the role of Yeo-reum Jeong, who was sitting next to him, playfully comforted Jin-wook, who was shivering, by stroking his shoulder.

“Ah, you played the role of a college student in the last movie. Son Jin-wook is sick. I am 28 years old. Yeoreum is 20 years old. Heh.”

Seeing Han So-hyun like that, Ryu Yeon-woo nodded her head.

“Hello. Senior, this is Rookie Actor Ryu Yeon-woo.”

“Nice to meet you. Out of the drama I imagined, it looks very similar to the universe. So it’s kind of friendly.”

“My younger brother’s name is Sohyun, so I feel friendly too, sunbaenim.”

Sohyun’s cheeks turned a little red when Yeonwoo smiled and responded in a soft voice.

“Oh, that’s right. But, what is a senior? I just talk comfortably. How old are you…?”

“I’m eighteen.”

“Eh? A minor?”

His eyes widened and he was surprised.

The same goes for the supporting actors and field staff who were listening to the stories of the lead actors who will lead the play in the future.

“When the drama ends, I think it will be time to take the entrance exam.”

“What is it? You and I are ten years apart. What should I do?”

“Hey, it looks like I’m competing with a high school student for Yeoreum. Gee.”

When Son Jin-wook and Han So-hyeon were sympathetic, laughter blossomed at the scene.

At that time, director Kim Han-soo and writer Choi Mi-hyun entered the conference room, and all the actors and staff paid attention.
