Chapter 12.1

Translator's note: Manager Park is more like a Managing Director at Halo Media. Hence why his job role is not exactly that of a manager.

Although Yoo Yeon Seo was quite excited, it wasn't as if he could immediately take on a project just because he wanted to.

"All of these scripts were sent to me?"

For one, he only had one body, and he had to sift through the pile of scripts to find one that he liked.

"Why are there so many?"

"Because there are that many desperate people out there."

There wasn't a single script from a popular writer among the stack. Most of them were from new or relatively unknown writers.

Even if they wanted to build a career, newcomers often get pushed aside for more experienced personnel in this industry.

That's why they send scripts to Yoo Yeon Seo out of a desperate desire to catch a break.

"But why are all of them lead roles?"

"You said you wouldn't do it if it wasn't a lead role."

"Really? But I haven't even had a chance to take any lessons yet. It's not a good idea to just blindly take on a lead role..."

Manager Park held his breath. He observed the unusually calm Yeon Seo's face and scrutinized it as if it were something amazing.

He knew that Yeon Seo experienced some memory loss, but his personality had changed so much. ‘Yeon Seo wasn't insisting on being the lead role?'

"Anyway, you'll be the main character on the set, so you can change the role as you like."

The person who successfully adapted the work that Yeon Seo chose for filming and made her debut was recognized in the industry to some extent. However, there were no cases where Yeon Seo was cast for the next work. The reason was that he was too inexperienced in acting.

"What should I choose? Don't you have any good suggestions?"

"Just choose what you want. That's how it has always been."

"If it were me... I would choose based on what I've experienced."

Manager Park gave a piece of worthless advice, but it was different from Lim Seung Hyun. Yeon Seo flicked through the script like a card trick but stopped to consider Lim Seung Hyun's words.

"Based on what I've experienced...?"

"Yes. Wouldn't it make it easier for you to immerse yourself in the role?"

‘Come to think of it, wasn't there a role as a soldier in the script?' Yoo Yeon Seo quickly searched through the script.

As Lim Seung Hyun had suggested, it would be better for him to take on a familiar role for his first project, as he could always play more diverse roles in the future.

Lim Seung Hyun took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the screen. He smiled with satisfaction, but the energy he gave off was not good, causing Manager Park to take a step back from him.

“Young master, I'll be going now.”

“Number 12?”

“Yes.”

Yoo Yeon Seo acknowledged with a wave. Lim Seung Hyun bowed and left the conference room.

"I'll go after you choose a script."

"Instead of relying on me, isn't it more appropriate for Manager Park to also develop perception? After all Manager Park is the one in charge. Don't you have any pride? Making me do all the work?"

Manager Park frowned. ‘This amnesia is a lie, right? Why wasn't his speech affected at all?'

"Okay, I'll pick the ones I like and put them on top. That should be fine, right? I can't handle all of them anyway." He cancelled that thought.

Manager Park left the room in excitement, leaving Yoo Yeon Seo alone in the conference room.

"Beta, turn on automatic action mode."

<Understood.>

He summoned Beta as if he had been waiting for the moment. Since they were going into a project, wouldn't it be better to use the eyes of the original host to select a good project?

"Yeon Seo, we finally got an acting teacher!"

In the conference room where Yoo Yeon Seo was alone, CEO Han suddenly burst in.

"CEO Han, please knock."

"But why is your face so pale?"

"My face has always been transparent and clear."

Although Yoo Yeon Seo answered shamelessly, CEO Han's eyes narrowed as he took in his appearance.

Yoo Yeon Seo hid the bloody tissue behind him.

"Are you feeling sick?"

"I've been reading a lot of scripts, so I'm just a bit under the weather. You said the acting teacher is here. Where are they?"

"In the practice room. We don't need to have a lesson right away, so let's just greet each other for now."
