Chapter 151 < You Need to Make More Stories >

Director Lee Jeong-hoons Only was a movie that targeted people who received low sentences despite the heavy weight of their crimes, to the point where it was called the Only Law.

The plot was about a victim who was furious that his appeal was rejected for a lower sentence than expected, and went to punish the judge and the criminal himself, who had ties with the gangsters.

The protagonist, who had a lot of stories behind him, did not hesitate to break the law. Bad guys catching bad guys was a theme that had become clich from being used so much.

Its exactly the publics taste. If it opens next month, the luck will be good too It will be a moderate success.

Wow For a rookie, the directing is decent?

Its obvious, but why is it fun?

The reporters, who were indifferent at first, gradually looked at the screen with more interest as time passed. The refreshing and flashy action, the actors with decent acting skills, and the characters that revealed the narrative with a few lines of dialogue.

(Why are you here?)

(I know someone here.)

And in the middle of the movie, an unexpected character appeared. When the protagonist opened the door of a shabby warehouse, the interior was flashy and antique, unlike the exterior.

(What, what is this?!)

The woman, who was distracted by him, swallowed her saliva too late when a knife stuck on the wall grazed her ear.

[Can you make a special appearance while youre here? Theres a suitable role for you]

[Me?]

[You have to use everything you can. You invested a lot too.]

Lee Jeong-hoon, who was flustered at first, spoke quite shamelessly. Yoo Yeon Seo, who was playful, teased him.

[My price is expensive, you know?]

[Hey, if the movie does well, youll benefit too, Yeon Seo.]

[Huh, its not like itll do well because I make a special appearance What do I have to do?]

And the more Only did well at the box office, the more Yoo Yeon Seo gained. He had no reason to refuse.

(Jay, youre too playful.)

(Are you the only one who can do it?)

On the screen, which was said to be the biggest in Korea, Yoo Yeon Seos handsome face filled the screen. Someone in the audience exclaimed. On the screen, Yoo Yeon Seo, Jay, looked like he had become a nouveau riche, wearing a gold necklace and a flashy patterned shirt.

The story was already good, but it left an impact with an unexpected special appearance.

Jay, as he was called, approached the woman who was glaring at him behind the protagonist, with a dance-like movement.

(Are you his partner?)

(Thats rude for a first greeting.)

(Oh, sorry. Did he pick you because of me?)

Jay snatched the knife that the woman had drawn, with a disdainful expression. Then he threw and spun the knife in the air repeatedly. Amazingly, it stuck to his hand as if it had a magnet. It was a short action, but it gave off an untouchable feeling.

In fact, he had fiddled with the prop while waiting for the special appearance, and the director saw it and decided to use it in the scene on the spot.

(Why are you here? My side still hurts when it rains because of you.)

(What did you say?)

(Dont trust him. Hes the worst bastard among bastards.)

Jay looked at the woman and smirked. His mouth spat out vulgar curses, but his tone and behavior were frivolous. The people who were captivated by Yoo Yeon Seos face wondered what the story was between Jay and the protagonist.

Hes at it again. The protagonist, who had been silently looking at the sky, muttered quietly.

(I need your help.)

(I dont help just anyone.)

(You know Judge Hong Chang-won, right?)

He was the villain of Only, played by Oh Jin-sung. As soon as he heard that name, Jays face, which had been smiling leisurely, flashed with hatred.

(This bastard is trying to eat me alive.)

Contrary to his answer, Jay took out various weapons and didnt come out anymore.

He came out longer than I thought.

After that, it was the protagonists satisfying revenge play with the victims. The movie ended with Hong Chang-wons death. It was a perfect killing time entertainment movie. The break-even point was 2.5 million, they said It seemed like it would pass easily.

Good job. Director.

The main OST and ending credits of the movie went up. Yoo Yeon Seo looked at Lee Jeong-hoons face next to him and paused for a moment.

<Special Appearance>

First of all, we need to create a lot of stories.

So, you mean writers?

Yes.

Not dramas, but movies?

I dont want to define the genre I just want to invest in people who can bring their own stories to life.

The writer should focus on creating an original story, and he should pay a fair price for it.

That was what he told Lee Jeong-hoon, who had talent and could succeed as a director, but others shouldnt waste their time learning how to direct.

While Im at it, Ill pick a work that I like and act in it.

Usually, the synopsis is sent to all the actors agencies.

The reason he accepted Choi Yoo Jins offer to become an internal director was because he could review more works faster and earlier than the actors agencies as a production company director.

The sooner the rumor spreads, the better.

Yoo Yeon Seo smiled slyly.

I hope youll get a lot of interest from the aspiring actors.

He heard that he wouldnt spare any investment to grow the industry, but some reporters had a different perspective.

If a movie or a drama that grew the story like this became a hit he would not only monopolize the story, but also own the IP itself.

Lets go.

Yes, sir.

While the reporters were busy taking notes, he left the theater with his two secretaries and manager.

Only received unanimous praise from the press and the insiders

Only Yoo Yeon Seo involved in production investment Ill enhance the power of the story.

Only Yoo Yeon Seo made a bold investment in a rookie director Ill invest in anyone who has potential.

The place where Only had its preview boasted the largest screen in Korea. There were also many seats, and only a few were empty.

Lee Jeong-hoon had few friends and reporters from the media, and even the staff and extras of Only were invited, but there were still some seats left. Yoo Yeon Seo had mobilized people to boost the morale of the rookie director.

Yoo Yeon Seo, Only mobilized JSENM employees for the insider preview

The article sparked a flurry of posts on the online community of office workers.

-Did we go there by force?

But do you know that our vice president also failed the lottery?

Cant the vice president just go there anyway?

He said he wouldnt go if he failed the lottery because of the privilege controversy

-How was the directors face for those who went to the preview?

Hey, I was in front of the director, I kept turning around pretending to be uncomfortable, and he smiled at me, I died

The controversy article was quietly taken down, and all that was left was the angry reaction of the fans who were upset by the forced mobilization.
