Chapter 17 – By Any Chance, Do You Know About This Pictures?
Lee
Seowon got a video of Yoon Jay's performance by bossing Park Hyun-seung around
because his company was the production company for <The Garden of Evil>.
'How
good is he that Park Hyun-seung wants to interfere in the contract matters of
an actor from other people's agencies?'
Lee
Seowon played the video in anticipation.
(Hello?)
Even
though it was just a rough shot of the monitor, Lee Seowon couldn't meet his
gaze because he felt uncomfortable. Lee Seowon turned his head quickly.
"What,
what is that?"
The
reason why Lee Seowon gave Yoon Jay his business card as soon as he saw him was
because of his gorgeous appearance and aura, like a youth star from the past.
No other actor his age had a mask like that.
He
wanted to cultivate an actor like him, just like those who can make a splash
with their looks and show off their acting skills later on.
(Why
are you blaming me? Yeon-seok -ssi, you knew it all and signed it!)
(Hehe,
let’s finish this. Okay?)
By
the way, if he had been at this level from the start, do I have anything to
raise?
There's
no downside to making a living with that face. However, it creates some
restrictions when choosing a work. Because he is so handsome, his image may not
fit the role in the work.
But
how can someone with a face like that do something so unpleasant, especially a
new actor like him?
"......Mr.
CEO, how many years is Jay -ssi's contract with you?"
"Oh,
my! You scared me! When did you get here?"
"I
just got here."
Lee
Seowon, who had been so engrossed in the video that he hadn't even realized
Chief Kwak had arrived, sighed heavily.
"3
years."
"Is
it still possible to renew the contract now? Why didn't you just do the
standard, 7 years?"
Kwak
Dohyun watched the video with bated breath in the back.
While
Han Jin-woo, the road manager, was managing Yoon Jay in the field. Chief Kwak
Dohyun, had to support the actor as much as possible behind the scenes, such as
meeting with the production company and telling the actor that he still had to
do business, or ensuring that the accommodation must have at least a three-star
rating.
So
Chief Kwak Dohyun had to know the actor's information in advance, but Yoon Jay
was an easy actor to manage.
Yoon
Jay only said that his condition only gets slightly worse when it rains, and
there was nothing to hide or be picky about. He didn't ask for anything much.
But
who would have guessed that he was hiding such extraordinary acting skills?
"What
if another agency snatches him up in 3 years?"
"Haa......
First, we have to fulfill whatever he wants."
Just
like that, Yoon Jay passed Lee Seowon's test. Very quickly.
***
After
working his way up from the bottom, Kim Yeon-seok finally has a chance to get
revenge on Baek Jinri, the leader of the group that brought him down.
But
he's caught off guard, and just when he thinks it's going to end badly, his
trusty sidekick, Yoo Taehyun shows up and beats Baek Jinri over the head with
Baek Jinri's old baseball bat.
Moon
Changmin's confusion is captured here. After a spectacular one-take action
sequence as they try to escape the Jeonchongyo cult, Kim Yeon-seok, who is out
of harm's way, comes face to face with an unexpected figure.
Moon
Changmin's eyes widened as soon as he saw him.
"What?"
Wasn't
Baek Jinri the final boss?
"Let's
get it done. Bam!"
There's
no way that presence would die so futilely, and would it come back to life and chase
me afterward? Moon Changmin kept doubting it throughout the shoot, but Baek
Jinri never came out afterward.
"You
are very realistic, so we got a lot of good shots."
"I
don't want any more realistic."
As
it turns out, Yoo Taehyun, who broke Baek Jinri's head, was actually on the
dark side, and the actor who plays the character who is on the dark side is a
senior actor who would make Moon Chang Min bow down. Moon Changmin couldn't
help but notice that he was the only one who didn't know anything on the set!
"This
is all thanks to you, Jay -ssi."
"What
did I do?"
Baek
Jinri is just a MacGuffin. Yoon Jay was just doing his best to follow the
Director's instructions.
T/N:
MacGuffin = An object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and
the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant
in itself.
Moreover,
it seems that Park Hyun-seung and Moon Changmin are satisfied enough, that's
why they are preparing a separate place like this.
'It
feels strange to be recognized by acting like that bastard.'
Baek
Jinri was simply imitating someone. It would be difficult to hope for a fluke
now. Because it's not really his acting. Yoon Jay drank cider instead of
alcohol.
"Jay,
Go Kwang-il Sunbae -nim also wanted to see you, but he can't find the
time."
"That's
a shame, I'd love to see him."
The
actor on the dark side who manipulates even Baek Jinri as a puppet is played by
Go Kwang-il, a great actor with over 40 years of acting experience.
"By
the way, Jay -ssi."
After
talking for a while about <The Garden of Evil>, Director Park Hyun-seung
bluntly asked.
"Could
it be that, at that time, what do you do?"
"What?"
"Well,
you know, that, Baek Jinri runs a farm, something like that......"
It
was a subtle way of asking if he was actually doing drugs.
Yoon
Jay blinked, and Park Hyun-seung stammered.
"No,
because I searched it on the internet and saw that people with pupils that
small usually have a medical condition or are on medication......"
"Haha!"
Yoon
Jay laughed out loud. The negative emotions that had been plaguing him had been
released to some extent, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and gentle.
The
sudden laughter caused the two people to look at Yoon Jay blankly.
They
never thought they could be charmed by a fellow man. What kind of person laughs
like that? Where are you hiding and why are you only appearing now?
"Thank
you for the compliment."
"Well,
I'm sorry, are you offended?"
"No,
no. It just means I did a good job."
It's
a compliment in a way, because he's acting like he's on drugs.
After
a moment's hesitation, Yoon Jay briefly explained what had happened. They know
he's a bodyguard and a former soldier, so let's leave out the terrorist and
hostage stuff and just say it happened because of his experience in combat.
"Wow,
that happened to you."
"I
searched it up and there's a term for it."
"If
you’re a Navy SEALs, you must have been to a lot of dangerous places,
right?"
"Well,
I'm not sure."
Yoon
Jay smiled meaningfully and changed the subject.
Park
Hyun-seung and Moon Changmin could only guess that he had done something out of
the ordinary from the way he was talking.
"Jay,
what are you going to do now?"
"I
want to try out for a TV drama, I've been watching a few......"
"Drama?
It's surprising, with Seowon's agency, you could probably get into
movies."
"My
younger brother said he wants to see me on TV soon."
He
chuckled as he remembered Yoon Dojun.
[Hyung!
I hope you become famous soon!]
Yoon
Jay doesn't know what he's been watching or listening to, but he asks Lee Seowon
if there's a drama he can get into as soon as possible.
"Well,
the lines between movies and dramas are blurred these days."
"Even
seniors who used to do only movies seem to be turning to drama. But, is Seowon
good at dramas?"
"He
said he'll try his best, and if necessary, he'll invest in it himself."
"He
does?"
That's
surprising. Someone who picks actors and makes them look like they're on a
Survival Show Actor 101 project, and will mercilessly fire them if they don't
meet his standards, someone like that would say something like that?
When
Moon Changmin mumbled, Director Park Hyun-seung chuckled.
"Of
course, he's hooked on Jay -ssi's acting."
"Aha.
Since he's also the production company, he must have seen that
amazing......"
"Right."
The
conversation went on to talk about the movie that impressed them. Yoon Jay
almost spit out the water he was drinking.
"The
work that changed your life? <Children>, I dreamed of becoming a Movie
Director after watching it."
"I
saw it twice. Wow, how could someone so young act like that... If he had acted
until now, he would have become a great actor."
"100%
agree. Jay -ssi, have you seen it? It was re-released this time."
Yoon
Jay only nodded. He'd seen it, and he'd starred in it.
'What
topic should we talk about now?'
I
felt a little uncomfortable because I felt like I was unintentionally deceiving
them.

Is this how actors are supposed to be? I fell in love with him after seeing the
picture. Since he's a newcomer, I don't have anything to lick (to judge) about
his talent, and the agency is also new, so I'm dying for rice cakes
(information) ㅠ There
isn't even any identification of the actor himself ㅠㅠ
└
Is it really Yoon Jay?
└
Yes ㅠㅠ
└
Hey, he's fu#king good.
—
Surely that look would've gotten us in trouble somewhere. Did someone find
anything besides he was Emma Stewart's bodyguard?
└
The agency is also new, so there is nothing there.
└
Ah, please make an InStar.
T/N:
This is a pun, or it could also be the author's way of censoring. In Korean,
the syllable 'Sta' in the word 'Instagram' sounds like 별 (byul) which means
'star'.
Lee
Seowon was surprised by Yoon Jay's situation, who already had a fan cafe and
gallery set up, and many people regularly asked for updates.
'It's
amazing.'
Lee
Seowon didn't know where Yoon Jay had been hiding all this time, he is a person
who has the qualities of a star. Not to mention his talent.
[You
want to do a TV Drama?]
[My
younger brother said he wants to see me on TV.]
The
younger brother one must be an excuse. Investors end up sticking with actors
because of virtue. He knows he's good, so he wants to appear in the drama, get
recognized, attract investors, and become independent?!
'Oh,
no.'
If
I didn't know, I wouldn't know, but I've already seen his creepy acting. Lee
Seowon wanted to hold onto Yoon Jay for a long time.
So
Lee Seowon was already on his way to find the Writer of the work he'd been
eyeing.
"Oh
my, CEO Lee."
"Hello,
Writer -nim."
Lee
Seowon bent his upper body toward his opponent.
In
drama, writers are powerful. And if the writer is as good as the writer in
front of him, then they can control the casting.
"I
heard you're working on a new drama."
"That's
why you wanted to see me?"
"I'm
raising a decent actor......"
Writer
Im Hyun-hee looked at the profile pictures offered by Lee Seowon with great
interest. She wondered who the actor was that made Lee Seowon, who was famous
in the movie industry, bow down.
"Wow.
He's handsome."
Her
eyes widened when she saw Yoon Jay's picture. Really, he's good.
"CEO
Lee, if he is the actor you are managing, then he must be good at acting,
right?"
"He's
great. If you take good care of our actor, I'll invest in the drama."
"You
will?"
"Yes."
It
was a fusion genre, but since it was a historical drama, so they were desperate
to secure production costs. A historical drama is not a good place for PPL.
"Well,
that's good. If it's just a small role, you can......"
Writer
Im Hyun-hee gave it a shot. Even so, several agencies often came to her to work
under her, so she was playing along for now.
But
Lee Seowon smiled slyly. He still had a trick up his sleeve.
"Writer
-nim. By any chance, do you know about this pictures?"
Lee
Seowon heard that the female lead assigned was Park Seo-ah. Park Seo-ah had a
bit of a history with Yoon Jay.
When
he was a bodyguard, there was a .gif of Yoon Jay guarding Park Seo-ah as she
walked on the red carpet. Their fingertips lightly rubbed when they walked
away. It's an exquisite situation that has at least three things written in
Writer Im Hyun-hee's head.
"Oh?"
Im
Hyun-hee couldn't take her eyes off the image.
Yoon
Jay is in talks for a supporting role in 'Fluttering,' a drama based on a
popular webtoon.
......Rookie
actor, Yoon Jay, who made waves in the internet community as a bodyguard, is in
talks to star in the webtoon-based drama 'Fluttering' as Grand Prince Muhwi.
'Fluttering'
is a fusion historical drama that takes place in the fictional country of
'Doyulguk' set in the Joseon Dynasty......
—
Who is Yoon Jay? Where did he come from? It's my first time seeing this face.
└
He is popular on DolFan.
T/N:
DolFan = Idol Fandom
└└
DolFan? Is he an idol?
└└└
He's not.
└
He plays in a drama with Moon Changmin, which is scheduled to be released next
year.
└
You haven't seen this legendary bodyguard?
└
There's a .gif that caused a stir in the community. Isn't just his face enough
to make him a GOMan?
T/N:
GOMan = (Good Ordinary Man). It’s a word I made up myself. In the raw, the
word is 갓반인
(gasban-in). It is a slang used by speakers to give a good evaluation of an
ordinary man.
—
Fluttering is my favorite work, and finally, it was adapted into a drama. I
hope an adaptation from Grand Prince Muhwi's synchronization goes well.
└
But he's a rookie, so we don't know his acting skills. Even experienced actors
find historical dramas are difficult.
└
You know, it's a drama so he might do surprisingly well.
└
First of all, I think his image matches well with the original work.
If
there is already an original work, it is bound to be noisy even before
production because of the original fans.
However,
the profile picture of Yoon Jay that was released was a face that even webtoon
fans could understand as soon as they saw it.
—
Yeah, but isn't the female lead Park Seo-ah? She's a chemistry crusher.
└
I guess there wouldn't be a problem if she was the female lead but for the
romance......
└
The script is written by Im Hyun-hee, so of course there will be romance.
└
Hey, Grand Prince Muhwi still gets a free pass. Have you seen the pictures
where the actor we are discussing now was Park Seo-ah's bodyguard for a moment?
└
Oh my god, there is... Chemistry!?
—
But, what's his agency? They can immediately get supporting roles like this.
└
Isn't it still under discussion?
└
When an article like this appears, it's finalized.
└
What? Did he get an industry pick?
