Chapter 170

I will live as an actor Episode 170

Prince.

Contrary to the name of the hotel, the interior and exterior are quite old. In fact, it can be said that it is a hotel in name only and a motel.

However, the view outside the window is comparable to that of most 5-star hotels. The blue waves spreading under the drawbridge are reminiscent of Europe.

“The business trip ends today.”

This was Yeongdo, where I stayed for a week for a preliminary field trip. As I was about to leave the place that had become so familiar to me as my hometown, rather than feeling sad, I felt refreshed.

“I heard that Min’s drunk drinking made him feel like he’s aged five years in a week. Ugh.”

There is a saying that Mt. Geumgang is also a beautiful place after a meal. I drank several times a day due to the beautiful scenery of the beach and strangely shaped cliffs, which are hard to find in Seoul. Writer Min’s job was so grueling that it was more difficult than assisting the boss of most companies.

Kim Woo-hyung’s hands seem lighter than ever as he folds the clothes he hand-washed last night. by the way.

“It’s Jang Young-guk... ... .”

Kim Woo-hyung recalled an incident that occurred a few days ago. Didn’t you meet an unexpected person at the place you visited for your preliminary field trip? Jang Young-guk was an actor who became acquainted with not only Korean but also international greats.

Writer Min’s drunken voice still lingers in my head.

-Producer Kim, won’t Jang Young-guk take a photo with us?

Would a child who doesn’t know anything about the world be like this?

-No, but Jang Young-guk also received an acting award at MBS. I heard you’re close to CP too. How could it not?

The writer, who was heavily drunk, begged Kim Woo-hyung to somehow cast Jang Young-guk. If it had been a man instead of a woman, writer Min might have been hit by Kim Woo-hyung that day.

“I have to say something that makes sense. How do I recruit Jang Young-guk...?” ... .”

Kim Woo-hyung’s voice, which was full of confidence in everything, also lacked strength. Broadcasting stations are usually the best when it comes to casting dramas.

That’s because, in the case of terrestrial dramas, there were a mountain of actors wishing to appear.

However, the position may change depending on the actor’s popularity. For example, actor Jang Young-guk would be the best of the best.

“I heard you have a close relationship with CP Yoo.”

The famous CP is someone whose abilities have already been recognized by the MBS drama department. Not only was he the youngest person to hold the CP position, but there was a lot of talk about him winning the position of director in the future.

However, it was unclear whether an actor with a reputation like Jang Young-guk would be able to be cast even if a famous CP stepped forward.

“Lotto.”

This is a common phrase these days in broadcasters and Chungmuro. In the past, it was called a guaranteed box office hit, but these days, it could be said that whoever catches Jang Young-guk has won the lottery.

It was no exaggeration to say that broadcasters and Chungmuro were working hard to catch Jang Young-guk.

But if Jang Young-guk raises his appearance fee, will he appear in all of them?

Oh no, that’s not it either. Actor Jang Young-guk was jokingly selected as the person whose inner thoughts are most difficult to read among broadcasters and Chungmuro officials.

Not only are there cases where people shake their heads even when the guarantee is calculated to be the highest of all time, but there have also been times when he appeared in an independent film without receiving any guarantee at all. It literally meant that only artistic quality was in mind.

Of course, someone said this. Some may say that it would be unfair to consider the quality of the work before filming,

but what was surprising was his insight. The work he chooses is recognized not only for its commercial value but also for its artistic quality. It was truly an insight into the future.

Therefore, from the standpoint of a production company with ample financial resources, there was no actor as demanding as Jang Young-guk.

“It can’t be possible.”

Kim Woo-hyung shook his head. It’s not for nothing that they say, don’t look at a tree you can’t climb.

As a producer himself, he thought it would be great to cast Jang Young-guk as the lead, but as he is a broadcasting station official, he knows very well how unrealistic that would be. It was then.

“Producer Kim—!”

The hotel door opens wide without knocking. Writer Min Su-jin was standing there, out of breath.

“Author Min! “If I’m at least changing my clothes, why would you open the door like that?”

“Whoa.”

The day of departure arrived, but I was still distraught. The reason was simple. It was because I met England in Busan.

I had decided to give up my feelings for England when I went to Busan, but my longing for him only grew.

“Is it Yeonsu?”

Seeing Yeonsu continuously glancing behind her, her mother asked curiously. It was late, but the airport was still crowded with people.

“Is someone coming to see me off?”

“No, it’s not like that... ... .”

“I plan to live in the United States from now on, but my mom is worried. I’d like to tell you to change your mind right now, but you’ve made such a firm decision... ... .”

My mother’s face was full of worry. No matter how old a child gets, he or she still looks like a baby in the eyes of his or her parents.

I couldn’t help but be worried when I heard that it wasn’t a nearby country and that I would go to the United States to study film directing.

“Did you call the CEO?”

“I gave it to you just now.”

“Yes, but the CEO was very disappointed. I heard that you are receiving a lot of acting offers right now, and you suddenly said that you are going to study abroad... .”

It was a time when his stock as an actor was rising. The reason why the agency representative was so concerned was simple. This is because the time when a child actor transitioned into adulthood was important.

In particular, the more well-known a child actor like Yeonsu is, the more successful or failed he or she is depending on the role he or she plays when he or she transitions into adulthood.

However, if you stop acting and go abroad to study like you do now, there are only two outcomes. Either make a spectacular comeback or be completely forgotten by the public.

Even after studying abroad, it was still unclear whether I would receive as many drama offers as I had just received.

‘Actually, there is someone else I want to contact.’

In Yeonsu’s mind, there was only one person whose voice she wanted to hear right now.

But I don’t think he will contact me. In a way, the kiss in Yeongdo was just a coincidence.

Furthermore, there would be no way to know as the timing of departure was not mentioned at all.

“Yeonsu, now I have to go through the formalities.”

It was then.

The moment the mother and daughter are about to take a step, a hand is placed over Yeonsu’s shoulder. Yeonsu’s eyes, following the hand, turn around and fixate on one person.

“brother... ... ?”

I couldn’t believe it. England, who had come running in, was standing there, sweating. Even though he was wearing a hat and glasses, there was no way he wouldn’t recognize England.

Yeonsu rubbed her eyes with her sleeve and looked again to see if she was dreaming. However, the sweaty appearance of England was only visible more clearly.

England takes a deep breath and smiles.

“found.”

“what... ?”

“I called Yeonsu’s agency to find out when she would be leaving the country. We almost got mixed up. by the way.”

At that moment, England gets down on one knee and knots Yeonsu’s shoelaces. When was it released? Even though the body is big, it still doesn’t fit well.

Yeonsu’s cheeks turned red without her knowledge as she watched England’s bedside knotting her shoelaces.

Didn’t they say that if coincidence happens twice, it becomes inevitable? My heart was pounding violently.

Yeonsu’s mother quietly leaves, looking thrilled at the reunion of the two.

“Yeonsu.”

At that time, England, who had been down on one knee, stood up and explained further. The airport was filled with all kinds of noise due to the large number of people visiting the airport, but only his voice pierced Yeonsu’s ears clearly.

“Can’t I go?”
