437. Stay calm 2

Watching the two of them hold out a cigarette to each other in the parking lot, he held out a pack of Marlboro Reds.

"Here it is. Director."

The director looks at me with surprised eyes.

uh Team leader Jung of Holgoongso Enter?"

"Do you know me?"

Yes. Today's top leading actors

How many do you have with you?"

haha. Thanks for looking. Oh, and I enjoyed the previous movie 'Hit and Hit'. You filmed it from the victim's point of view."

The director sighed deeply.

"How do you know about that damn movie?"

"It was a very well-researched reality, and the tension was amazing. It was difficult to succeed at the box office due to lack of publicity, but I think that directing power was rare these days."

It's calm, and the director laughs.

"Zeep. Thank you for watching, but no matter how bad a movie is, a bad movie is a bad movie."

The director sighs once more.

I took the opportunity, opened the silver foil of the Marlboro Red, pulled out a cigarette, and pushed it out.

"Here it is."

Director Ahn Jung-hae, who was smoking a cigarette, took a deep breath.

"I don't care, but I don't have one right now.

I can't stand it."

As soon as Director Ahn Jung-hae took a cigarette, I lit it with the lighter I brought.

It's stable, the director was trying to recommend me too, so I shook my head.

sorry. I do not smoke."

Yes? But why are you carrying cigarettes?"

"Because a job is a job

Although I don't smoke, there are smokers among the directors and staff.

there are many

It is because of the pressure of not to ruin the work that has been invested in billions or tens of billions of dollars.

For such directors and staff, I had a carton of cigarettes of each type that I did not smoke.

And now that he is stable, what he suggested to the manager was the Marlboro Red he smokes often.

"That's great. You know my favorite cigarette...

I chuckle, one cigarette left

He secretly shoved the cap into the pocket of production manager Park Hyeon-soo.

So that your pride will not be destroyed by just a pack of cigarettes.

Director Park Hyun-soo, who is 30 years old this year, has been with the director since he joined the company three years ago and has been stable with him.

The title of production manager was actually acquired by the seniors who had left the company.

thank you. Chief Jung."

The two of them, who had been abused by Lee Tae-yeon, began to smoke without saying a word for a while.

Even if a sip of a cigarette doesn't fill your broken self-esteem, it's a relief for your sore stomach.

After two smokers burn cigarettes, they throw butts in a nearby trash can.

"Huh, thank you. I will never forget this grace."

"It's not that kind of grace. You don't even dare."

Director Ahn Jung-hae smiles bitterly and nods his head.

"Then I will go first. see you next time.

The moment the director turned around helplessly, I caught him.

"Director Ahn. Are you looking for an investment right now?"

Calm down, the director pauses.

Yes

"Then you can talk to me."

no way Would you like to introduce an investment destination for my work?"

Yes. There are a few people who are interested in seeing the next screenplay. I would like to introduce them to you."

Director Ahn Jung-hae looks at the production manager Park Hyeon-soo, who is standing next to him with a smile.

Park Hyun-soo, the production manager, is also excited.

"Director. Why don't we listen to the story first?

"Okay. Yet time... . I need to see Lee Ji-hye's acting...

I said to the two of them.

"It will take a moment."

Ahn Jung-hae, who was worried, makes a decision.

all right. then wait a minute

I will look forward to it."

"For now, let's go to my car."

We avoided our eyes and headed to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter right next door.

Mercedes Benz Sprinter.

Eugene was already gone to Miso.

As soon as I sit down in the back seat, the director asks me to calm down.

"Really, do you know someone who will invest in my work?"

Yes. But before that, can you tell me how many people have invested in the present?"

When multiple investors are involved in a movie, a complicated situation arises due to issues of profit distribution and equity.

So, before arranging movie investment, I had to know the exact situation.

Calm down, the director sighed and said.

"So far, there is only one investor."

"Who are you?"

"I got it from actor Lee Tae-yeon."

Make sure you are reading at korean mlt . online

"Are you sure you received a personal investment?"

Director Ahn Jung-hae turned the scenario to all kinds of production companies and investment companies in order to receive investment.

But, ironically, it is said that the first contact among them was Lee Tae-yeon.

"Taeyeon saw the scenario and invested 50 million won in advance."

Director Ahn Jung-hae, who didn't have the company's operating expenses right away, said that he shouted 'OK'.

As a result, Taeyeon Lee has the right to make the screenplay of the current ; Disappearance - The Lost into a movie.

Yes? right... Did you pass it?"

"We needed operating expenses."

If my memory is correct, the total production cost of ; Disappearance -The Lost is about 3 billion won.

In terms of sales alone, about 47 billion won.

It is Lee Tae-yeon, who succeeded in holding the leash of a successful movie with 47 billion won in sales with only 50 million won.

Besides, now, in exchange for appearing her daughter Ji-eul Yang in the main child role, Su-yeon Lee, she is offering to receive follow-up investment from YH Startup Investment.

Director Ahn Jung-hae does not want to use Yang Yi-ji as Lee Soo-yeon, though.

After hearing the circumstances, I think I can understand why director Ahn Jung-hae didn't make money before returning.

all.

Since the script rights were lost, there would be no way that the contract with YH Startup Investment would have been perfect, and as a result, director Ahn Jung-tae would have had minimal money in his hands.

If so, the best solution is to pay the penalty and cancel the contract.

Usually, the penalty is three times the down payment, so you have to pay about 150 million won, but in this case, it was different.

"Is the penalty 10 times higher?"

Yes. I am in a hurry."

A whopping 10 times the penalty.

No matter how urgent it is, I thought it was too much to sign such a contract.

"If Penalty and Lee Tae-yeon were entangled in a contract, would investors have approached and ran away?"

Yes. After seeing the script, several places contacted me, but when I found out about the situation, I hated it. I don't want to take it with me paying the penalty, and I don't want to pretend to be with Taeyeon.

But fortunately, the investors I know are not even Lee Tae-yeon.

For example, Daeheung Savings Bank owned by Chairman Choi Eun-tae, Reverse Capital owned by Lee Su-chan, or the representatives of CK Enter or LT Enter are the targets.

Do not worry. We will connect you with a reliable investor who will not be afraid of Taeyeon Lee."

"Hey, is that really it?"

"For now, I need to contact you, so let's talk again in a moment."

Rather, for me, it was a question of which investors to introduce.

all right!

There was a hopeful smile on the faces of the two exhausted as they swung to and fro.

"Then, would you like to go see a smile acting all over the place?"

He calmed down for a moment, and the director asked with caution.

Perhaps. Are you going to make the condition that Team Leader Jung also appear on the show again?"

no. If you don't like the acting of a smile, or if you don't like it, choosing another actor will not affect your investment at all."

Like Taeyeon Lee, investing the role as a hostage

I didn't want to dominate.

However, I was confident.

When you see the performance of a smile, you will not think of other actors.

all right. Since I have to watch Easy Acting anyway I think I can watch it both at the same time."

We immediately got out of the car and headed to the set.

Episode 4 Scene 44.

This is a scene where Princess Jeong-hwa feeds Princess Yu-hwa with the poisonous mushrooms she received from her mother, Queen 1.

Producer Oh Bok-hee is watching the set with a serious expression.

ruler! Everyone is seated, the escort, unloved actors and actresses are at the bottom of the hill, and when the call sign comes out, jump right up! Don't go back and forth

Let's go right away!"

A garden on one side of the set.

In the shade under a large pine tree, three child actors, Ji-Yang Yang and Ji-Yeong Lee, and Hanbok with a pretty smile are waiting for filming.

On the other hand, the supporting actors are ready to jump up from the bottom of the hill at any time.

After checking the status of the staff, PD Oh Bok-hee asks Yang Ji.

"Izzy. How are you today?"

Fine! I will do my best.

Producer Oh Bok-hee also looks a little relieved.

"Then I'll go right away."

Yes~

Producer Oh Bok-hee exclaims.

"Okay, then, get ready for episode 4. Scene 44. Ready~ Action!"

At that moment, the child actors start acting.

Yang Ji-ji, who plays the role of Gongju Jeong-hwa, squats down and approaches the flower-watching smile, hiding a new white poisonous mushroom behind her.

oil paint. You say you like mushrooms, so you pick it up when you come. Come on, here. I have chosen the good ones."

Yang Ji hands over the white poisonous mushroom that he hid behind.

Trying not to catch my trembling hands.

For a moment, Miso tilted her head and looked at Yang Ei-ji.

"Jeonghwa's older sister. these precious mushrooms

Where did you get it?J

"It's under the mountain. I'm sorry for arguing with you so far, so I brought it specially."

With a smile on her face, she accepted the mushroom.

In the play, the two of them are slightly separated, but with an expression that I never thought that they would have given me a poisonous mushroom.

"I heard that it is good to eat it when it is fresh. I'm afraid it's hard to eat here

I have obtained some oil fields."

Yangji brings out a small caddy of sesame oil.

"Come on, eat. I've heard the mushroom pickers say that these white mushrooms are best eaten with sesame oil when they are fresh."

"To the precious sesame oil

Sesame oil was a precious food that could not be easily eaten during the Silla period.

A smile filled with fresh mushrooms and even sesame oil makes my mouth water.

However, as if it was a pity to eat alone, he looked at the vacuum wine next to him.

"It's Dohwa. There is only one mushroom, but it is quite large. Let's eat together

In an instant, Jin-gyu hurriedly shook his head.

no! Sister, eat a lot.

I ate a lot before coming up, so I'm full."

The youngest princess, Princess Dohwa, recognized at a glance that the mushroom given to her by her eldest daughter, Princess Jeonghwa, was a poisonous mushroom.

However, he kept his mouth shut, thinking that it was a golden opportunity to borrow someone else's hand and get rid of the competitor.

Is that so? Then I will have to eat alone."

Miso was drooling, and the poisonous mushrooms were dipped in sesame oil.

Then he took a bite and asked.

well water.

The smiling face brightens.

"It is a mushroom with a very unique scent. Jeonghwa's older sister."

Yangji responds with a trembling voice.

okay? A little more because it is a rare mushroom that is only for a long time... Do you eat?"

Yangji replied with a trembling voice, but without any doubt, the smile started eating more poisonous mushrooms.

It was then.

The movement of the smile slows down, and he begins to act outrageously.

"Ugh! Whoops!"

A smile holding her neck with both hands,

Try to swallow what you ate.

But it's not easy, so my body trembles.

His face heats up red, and tears begin to flow from his eyes and saliva from his lips.

Like a really addicted person, the smile that scratched his body was realistic enough to feel eerie beyond admiration.

At that moment, Eugene, who was by my side, said in a trembling voice.

"Oh, brother. Our smiles were not poisonous mushrooms, right?"

do not worry. It will be fine. The props team leader ate it before and gave it to me."

Oh right.

These are mushrooms that the props team leader ate and handed over to him for safety.

But looking at the smile's acting, Eugene and Leedo, I'm not even sure.

At that moment, Miso trembled with her right hand and reached forward.

Shhhhhh. purification sister Nahan

te what... do

Perhaps tired of the realistic smile's acting, Yang-Ei hesitates and retreats.

"Well, that's Why, my, take my place? Only you, without you, the queen is mine!"

Instantly, a smile sheds tears like chicken poop.

"The king is the sky deciding... It's like this... Whoops... I think my sister will... become a queen...

yo. This?

The smile is hard, moving forward one step at a time.

Surprised, Yangji quickly backed away, and her back touched a tree in the garden.

chin.

As the smile approaches with a trembling tremor, Yang Ji can't avoid it.

After taking one step or two, the smile went away, barely holding on to Yang Ji's clothes.

For a moment, Yang-Ei shouts like a scream.

Can't I put this hand away! The queen of Guilin belongs to this purification!"

As Yang Ji pushes her smile with all her might, the smile that has run out of strength collapses to the side.

The smile that fell to the floor trembled, convulsed, and began to clasp her hands and back.

Yang Ji-ji, who saw this, stood dazedly with her eyes out of focus, but luckily, Jin-young was the first to come to her senses.

"Calm down! Jeonghwa's older sister. After handing over the poisonous mushroom, why are you so weak now?"

"Oh, poisonous mushrooms? you, maybe... did you know j

"Junghwa unnie and I have a secret that only me and I know."

Yang Ei-ji, who was caught in a weakness, trembled and stared at Jin-young.

you! If you make fun of that mouth, I will never let you go!"

Jeonghwa unnie like that, please be careful of your mouth.

The eyes of the two people collide in the air, sparking sparks.

But then he lowered his gaze and looked at the smile lying on the floor.

When the smile doesn't move, the two of them shout at the bottom of the garden.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Yuhwa Sister!!

Two of the young villains cry out and go away.

The minor actors who had been waiting for a moment got up and jumped up the hill.

"Princess oil painting!"

Oh my gosh! Oh, what kind of thunderbolt is this?"

The supporting actors shouted, and that's how Scene 44 ended.

"Awesome ~ uh!! okay!

The staff shouts in embarrassment at the realistic performance of the smile.

"Smile, are you okay?"

Producer Oh Bok-hee is also panicking, telling him to call 911, causing a riot.

But then.

A smile jumped out of place.

"I'm fine!"

A smile vigorously waved his hand.

The staff were silent, and once again sighed in relief.

"Haha, I thought you were really wrong!"

"What kind of kid is acting

Again, the acting of the smile did not disappoint everyone.

With a proud expression on my face, I turn to the side

I glanced at

Unlike the staff who are quite accustomed to acting with a smile, director Ahn Jung-hae has a completely lost expression.

"Director?"

After talking to him, the director calmed down and came to his senses.

And then he grabs my hand.

"Chief Jung. Is the offer from a while ago still valid? I want you to put investment and a smile in the role."

Sure.

done.

The smile's acting was stable and the director's soul was swept away.

But at that moment.

Lee Tae-yeon rolled her eyes and was quickly approaching us.
