Chapter 114: Audition
Chapter 114 <Audition>
The day after he returned from Gyeongju, Yoo Yeon Seo went to his office at JSENM headquarters.
(Send me the list of candidates as soon as you get it, Ill check them out first.)
Yes, hyung.
(Thanks for your hard work.)
Yoo Yeon Seo sighed after he hung up the phone with Baek Seojun.
Its nice to have someone to help me
He was making more progress than when he was investigating alone. He wanted to focus on finding the culprit, but his brother was busy and he had his own work to do, so he put it off for a while.
Hows the report on Film Night?
Ive organized it and put it on your desk.
He thought he could ignore the surge of emotions that tormented him by immersing himself in other work. Besides, he had to go to an audition in the afternoon, where director Cheon would be watching. He almost missed the appointment because he woke up too late.
Um sir.
Yes?
Yoo Yeon Seo turned his head at the cautious voice. Cha Yoonho, his secretary at JSENM, avoided his gaze.
Are you feeling okay?
Im fine, just do your work.
He seemed to be following his mothers instructions Yoo Yeon Seo answered casually and entered his office.
Come to think of it, there were a lot of people who greeted him at the entrance. Did it go viral on the internet? People can get sick sometimes. Its not a big deal, is it?
-AhJuseong too and why doesnt the agency make an official statement
-I hope its not serious.
-But is the person who was taken away really Yoo Yeon Seo?
Yes, my friend is a nurse at Juseong Hospital and she said he came to the emergency room.
-Lets see the agencys statement
What the hell
Simple overwork? Is it simple overwork to go to the emergency room?
No, his secretary and brother were at the scene and they called 119, doesnt that mean it was serious?
Explain clearly.
But they dont have to disclose everything, right? He looked fine in the Gyeongju sightings.
Look at the announcement They cant do their job.
Hailo Media is good at their job for an actors agency, right
Hmm is this a big deal?
He sat down on his chair and looked at Lim Seunghyun, who followed him.
Mr. Lim.
Yes.
Did your sister worry about me a lot?
He received a flood of calls and messages from Lim Hyeju as soon as Lim Seunghyuns sighting was posted. He was busy dealing with the situation at the time, and he couldnt help but frown when he saw over 100 messages piled up.
[Oppa, what is this picture? Is this you?]
[Everyone says the person who was taken away is Yoo Yeon Seo, what happened?]
[Why did you go to the emergency room, are you in a lot of pain? Whats going on?]
[Hey, why are you ignoring me! Hey!]
His actor was across the street, but Lim Hyeju, who had restrained herself from being a fan and an actor, went wild that day. She kept trying to contact him every day. He was annoyed by her persistent contact with different numbers even when he blocked her. Fortunately, she quieted down after the Gyeongju sighting yesterday.
Any fan would be worried, I guess.
His voice, which answered with a sigh, contained a lot of meaning. Is that so Yoo Yeon Seo straightened his chair, which he had leaned back for a moment.
Hmm should I post a picture?
That would be nice. Its perfect right now.
Itaegyeom answered instead. There were some points that the fans would like, such as the luxurious office interior, the nameplate with Executive Director Yoo Yeon Seo elegantly engraved, and the neat suit.
Cross your legs, put your fingers on your knee, and pose.
What, are you a photographer?
This kind of thing is all about the direction.
He couldnt say anything when the result came out well. He uploaded the picture that Itaegyeom sent him to SNS and thought for a long time.
What should I say?
He didnt want to say that he was all better and fine now. He just wanted to show his normal appearance.
Y__Yeon Seo
Office reveal
Sir
It would have been better if he showed his most attractive point For example, the mole on his cheek
Yes, I saw it.
Yoo Yeon Seo answered indifferently while looking at the profile picture, and the other persons expression changed.
Hmm Out. He shouldnt show a bad mood. He gradually got interested in the audition. Was it this fun to evaluate others?
And he wouldnt have to see this kind of audition, but if he did, he thought it would be good to use this as a negative example.
Do you have poor eyesight?
Huh?
Take off your glasses. I want to see your eyes.
At Yu Yeon Seos command, the applicant took off his glasses without a word. Director Cheon smiled slightly. He didnt have to say anything, as Yu Yeon Seo gave the instructions for him. It meant that they were on the same page.
Are you done?
Yes.
You know you blink too much when you say your lines, right?
Uh
You should fix that habit. Good job.
He sometimes gave advice as well. Of course, some of the auditioners were around the same age as Yu Yeon Seo and had quite some experience, so they might not listen to him
Have you auditioned before?
No.
You looked nervous, but you did well. Just keep it up.
Before the next applicant came in, Director Cheon chuckled and patted Yu Yeon Seos back.
I think I got dragged into this
He did all the trivial things, so Director Cheon just crossed his arms and did nothing. But he didnt know that this was also a test from Director Cheon.
Then the next applicant came in.
Hello.
Oh, that person He was the one who was practicing on the theater stage when he first met Director Cheon. He locked eyes with the applicant. He looked at Yu Yeon Seo with a strange expression.
We know each other, right?
I found out later.
I see. I liked your practice.
After the applicant finished his acting, Director Cheon spoke up before Yu Yeon Seo could say anything. Yu Yeon Seo, who had a good intuition, realized that this was a sign of acceptance from Director Cheon.
Im jealous.
Id rather act than produce, if I could. He looked up from the next applicants profile and saw a familiar face.
Hello!
It was Hong Min-ah, who he had worked with in Dreaming. She didnt act like she knew him and focused on the audition. Director Cheon uncrossed his arms and rested his chin.
We know each other, right?
Huh?
I enjoyed your drama.
Thank you!
Hong Min-ah passed, too. Yu Yeon Seo moved on to the next applicants profile.
You have a nice voice.
Thank you, its easy on the ears.
What do you think is your charm?
He answered without hesitation to the sudden question.
My face.
What if your face limits your role choices?
What can I do? I was born this way. Roles are bought with money. Whatever.
What if theres something you cant do?
I have to try my best to please. I have to act well, first of all.
He paused for a moment as he said that.
Acting Acting
If the weak-hearted Yu Yeon Seo and the healthy-minded Kang Jin-hoos clash was the cause of his vomiting blood, wouldnt he be able to stop it if he could act as Yu Yeon Seo properly? He coughed into his handkerchief.
Your phone is ringing.
Oh, Im sorry.
He had it on silent, but the vibration meant that he had an important message.
(Lim Seung-hyun) Sir, you should come out for a while when you have time.
Did grandmother already send someone?
The shock therapy must have worked. He ignored the pain in his chest. He thought it was the guilt that the original felt.
