Chapter 144:

After the shooting.

When I got home, I was lying in the living room like a dried squid.

Entertainment is really not easy.

I tried , but it wasnt that hard. It was just a video of me doing what I usually do.

But entertainment like , which is densely packed from 1 to 100, was so difficult that it could make other activities impossible.

I dont remember how the first shoot went. From the second or third one, I got used to it, but if it was as hectic as the first shoot, I might never have done entertainment again.

But today, theres no shooting, so I should rest at home for a long time.

I thought I was resting, but I didnt mean to just lie down and do nothing.

I had to check the CFs and magazine interviews that Jang Sunho left behind, and I had to fill the empty refrigerator and clean the house that I had put off for a while.

First of all, I have to fill the refrigerator. How much does the mart in front of here deliver for free?

I picked up a mart promotional paper that said SALE! and sat on the living room sofa.

Pork is on sale Should I make bulgogi after a long time? If I season it and put it in the refrigerator, I can eat it for a while, so its okay. Even though kimchi is on sale, its expensive. Its better to buy ingredients and make it.

At that moment, when I was pondering with my chin, the mobile phone lying on the living room floor rang. I checked it out and it was Jang Sunho.

Hello?

[Actor. Im sorry to bother you while youre resting. Are you out?]

No. Im at home. Why?

[Oh, I just wanted to talk to you for a moment. Can I go to your house now?]

Yes, of course. Should I come if youre busy?

[Since Im nearby, Ill go.]

Yes.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I headed for the refrigerator. I knew it, but it was really empty.

I should give him something to drink when the guest comes.

I have to order delivery.

I immediately ordered coffee from the delivery app. The expected delivery time was 15 minutes. I waited, hoping it would arrive faster than Jang Sunho.

Ring ring ring ring.

"But then, I heard someone opening the door lock. The only people who knew my house door lock password were me and Jang Sunho, so it must be Jang Sunho.

As expected, the door opened, and Jang Sunho came in with both hands full of something.

Have you arrived? But whats that?

I bought some drinks and side dishes for you to eat. I thought it was time to fill the fridge.

Jang Sunho was definitely a ghost.

Then excuse me.

Jang Sunho put the coffee and fresh fruit juice on the living room table and headed for the refrigerator.

It was the largest garbage bag filled with something, but before I went to help, Jang Sunho had already finished organizing in the kitchen.

Im sorry to come suddenly when you must be very tired.

No, its okay. But whats going on? Is there anything wrong with ?

Its not that. Dont worry too much. By the way, since it came up, let me tell you first. Its about , and it has risen to second place in the Chinese box office. It seems difficult to get first place. Unfortunately, it overlaps with the sequel to .

Jang Sunho sounded regretful, but I was more happy than regretful. If its second place, it means that my acting is recognized not only in Korea but also abroad.

The reason I came to see you today is because of the next work.

Jang Sunho continued to speak while taking a sip of coffee.

A lot of movies have come in. Park Jongbin, Heo Chanwook, and Choi Jangsoo, among others.

Park Jongbin, Heo Chanwook, and Choi Jangsoo? Did their works come in at once?

Yes. Its not surprising, but anyway.

Oh Haneul asked, his eyes and head sparkling.

Yes, Representative. Its a work called , and its a work written by a Japanese director.

I see. And that work has now been completely canceled, right?

Thats right. When we looked into it in a hurry, it seemed that they had completely withdrawn from Toho, which they had originally planned to produce.

Oh Haneul drank the soup while listening to Jang Sunhos explanation.

The tea is good. Its a tea that a Chinese samoyed who knows me well sent to me to have a meal with Actor Kang Jinseok.

"Yes? Oh, yes."

"Anyway, yes, about the project Kang Jinseok, the actor, wants What do you think, Director Jang? Is that project suitable? Does it seem good?"

Though there was a playful tone, Jang Sunho nodded firmly in response to Oh Haneul's serious voice.

"It seems to be on par with Breathtaking Reckless Driving.'"

"As you know, Breathtaking Reckless Driving' could be the first romantic comedy film in South Korea to reach ten million. Nevertheless, any change in your thoughts?"

"Just by reading the script, it seems so. And depending on who acts in it, the dynamics might change, don't you think?"

"So, if Kang Jinseok acts, it might surpass Breathtaking Reckless Driving'?"

"With the right release timing and appropriate marketing, I believe it's possible. The total production cost would be at least 7 billion, but in my judgment, the risk is not on the significant side."

Upon hearing this, Oh Haneul leaned back on the sofa, his forehead creased in contemplation. Jang Sunho couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"Why is he contemplating so much?"

Oh Haneul rarely engaged in contemplation.' His decisions were usually based on the intuition and experience that came from being a shrewd businessman.

Because of this, he faced quite a few failures when he was younger, but now, as his stature indicated, he has achieved significant success.

Why is he pondering so much? Is he not particularly interested?'

Oh Haneul's extended contemplation, unusual for the bulldozer-like way he usually approached things, prompted Jang Sunho to cautiously sip his cooling tea, perhaps sensing something.

"If we take on that project, it will be the first original work for OS Entertainment, right?"

As Jang Sunho set his teacup down, Oh Haneul seemed to have resolved his contemplation and opened his mouth.

"Yes."

"In that case, it's a bit of a dilemma. The first step is crucial for future success. Well, fine. I trust the eyes of Kang Jinseok and Director Jang. Secretary Kang, since it's decided, please proceed."

Kang Kyungshik, sitting beside Oh Haneul, nodded.

"Understood."

"But where is the director who wrote that script? We can't just inform him out of the blue that we'll support him and expect him to make it. We might need to take a look first."

"Oh, yes. You're right. He's probably in Japan."

"Japan, huh? How about we go eat sushi in my hometown after a long time? It could be a good opportunity to meet the director."

In response, Kang Kyungshik firmly stated, "We don't have time for that, sir."

"Well, we have to eat to live, though."

"Still, we don't have time."

"I'll have it wrapped up and delivered."

Oh Haneul looked at Kang Kyungshik as if feeling disappointed. Jang Sunho, barely suppressing a smile, spoke to both of them.

"I have the director's contact information. Shall I call him now?"

"Please do."

As soon as permission was granted, Jang Sunho went to a corner of the executive office and made the call. In a short while, he returned to his place.

"Sir, I just spoke with him."

"Good. How will the meeting proceed?"

"He's heading to the airport right now. Conveniently, he was already in a taxi."

"Huh, the director seems to have affection for his work."

Satisfied with Jang Sunho's words, Oh Haneul smiled and said, "For that project, even if it costs a lot, make it big."
