章 83: Reinforcement (4)
Around that time, the news that Nuclear Bomb and Kang Woo-jin had joined Kwon Ki-taek's next film as a lead actor was spread on the Internet. Woojin, who didn't know about this yet, was in the middle of a meeting at Netflix Korea.
In the medium-sized meeting room, quite a few key people related to 'male friends' have gathered.
Not only Kang Woo-jin, but also chubby general director Kim So-hyang, writer Choi Nana, Hwarin, director Shin Dong-chun, and the team leaders of each Netflix team. We had already exchanged greetings for several dozen minutes, and now we were having a simple conversation.
Meanwhile, Hwarin glanced at Woojin and director Shin Dong-chun while fiddling with the thin bracelet Kang Woo-jin had given her.
'That director made 'Healing Office' with Woojin...'
In other words, in her view, director Shin Dong-chun was like the benefactor who introduced Kang Woo-jin to the world. Accordingly, Hwarin's liking for director Shin Dong-chun soared to the extreme.
'I need to say hello properly after the meeting!'
General Director Kim So-hyang, who was talking with team leaders to ensure that the materials were properly organized, drew everyone's attention.
"Now, Director Shin can handle it from here on out."
Director Shin Dong-chun, who was looking down at his tablet, nodded slowly.
"Well, I guess we should start by confirming the production company."
"yes. But since we've already narrowed it down to 3 locations, it won't take too long. After a brief meeting, the director can make a decision based on the situation."
After hearing the answer, director Shin Dong-chun focused his attention on writer Choi Nana, who was clearly nervous.
"Writer, can we have a quick script discussion after the meeting?"
"ah! yes yes!! it's okay! I will do my best!"
"Haha, you're so frozen. "Relax."
"yes! "I'll try that too!"
Writer Nana Choi's spirit spread laughter throughout the meeting room, and general director Sohyang Kim showed the tablet to everyone and changed the topic.
"This will be communicated gradually in the future, but I will tell you the main points first. This 'one-act project' will be in the format of opening one episode every two weeks, starting with 'Male Friend'. Since 'Male Friend' is the main focus, we will focus on everything from promotion to production."
In fact, there was a lot planned in her blueprint.
"Furthermore, we discussed with Japan's Netflix. "It is not all of the 'one-act projects,' but first, 'Boyfriend' is scheduled to be launched on Netflix in Japan."
Korean and Japanese Netflix launches. Kang Woo-jin pretended to listen calmly, but inside he was quite surprised.
'Wow - Ojiine, it's being uploaded to Japanese Netflix too?? The plate is getting so big??'
I never even thought about Japanese Netflix. For a moment, something passed through Kang Woo-jin's mind.
-[6/Script (Title: Male Friend), Grade A]
The level of 'male friend' has soared.
'Ah - this isn't just about joining Hwarin... is it also A-level related to Japan?'
It was then.
"Oh, just one more thing. "Director Shin will make the decision during the free trial anyway, but I think it's necessary to check in advance."
Kim So-hyang called Kang Woo-jin, who had an indifferent face.
"Mr. Woojin. I've been working on the OST a bit. Woojin has two options. If you feel burdened, you can just play the role of 'Han In-ho', and if you don't mind, how about participating in the OST?"
what? What are you participating in? OST? Kang Woo-jin knew very well that this was a very important part. If you look at music charts, drama OSTs often appear in the rankings. But is it okay for me to do that? As Woojin was questioning himself, General Director Kim So-hyang continued.
"Hwarin has already said he will participate, and the collection of songs is already well underway. As a goal, I'm thinking about 2-3 songs: Hwarin's solo song, Woojin's solo song, and a duet song. Of course, she will add other songs as well, but I want the main song to be Woojin and Hwarin."
Here, Hwarin glanced at Kang Woo-jin across from him.
'I hope you do it, Woojin. Even if I'm tone deaf, I can use all my skills to make it okay.'
Kim So-hyang, who was slowly crossing her legs, pushed her body towards Woojin.
"The justification is sufficient. There are several scenes in the play where 'Han In-ho' shows off his hidden singing skills. "What do you think, Woojin?"
Something else is increasing in size to an incredible extent. This time, let's do an OST that we've never done before. This too was something crazy and unfamiliar to Kang Woo-jin. There is a big difference between singing something at a karaoke bar and sharing it with the world. However, Woojin did not particularly move backwards.
I was quite confident.
'Hehe, I haven't tried anything, but I'm sure it will work out somehow. I'm also acting, but it's just an OST. 'More than anything, my singing ability sucks right now, doesn't it?'
The bridge of his nose points to the sky. Of course, it was pride for a reason. So, a little arrogance and a spoonful of bravado.
"I don't think there will be anything particularly difficult."
General director Kim So-hyang is slightly surprised.
"Oh-really?"
"yes. really."
Is it true? Or are you just going to give it a try? General director Kim So-hyang was confused.
'···But anyway, it's an average hit either way, so it's like that, right? But if it falls far short of average, it can be difficult-'
Even though Hwarin was acting the other way, she was running wild inside. Well, other than her, everyone in this meeting room had different reactions when they saw Kang Woo-jin. Director Shin Dong-chun.
'Could it be that he's even good at singing? 'I guess not?'
Writer Nana Choi and other team leaders.
'As long as you can't hear it, Hwarin can carry it.'
Whatever it was, confirmation was necessary. Therefore, General Director Kim So-hyang opened her mouth again.
"Then, uh, let's go through a simple confirmation process to match Hwarin and Woojin's schedules. It won't take that long, and I think it would be good to match Woojin and Hwarin's tones in our recording studio. Then it will be easy to find a song that suits you. "Just to confirm."
It was a natural procedure.
"There, Hwarin and Woojin will sing a duet song that is already on the market."
Kim So-hyang then made a request to Kang Woo-jin.
"Woojin, I think you can simply sing whatever song you like."
Same time.
A 24-hour soup restaurant near Netflix Korea. Perhaps because it was getting close to lunch, there were many customers in the large soup restaurant. Meanwhile, three familiar characters. Choi Seong-gun, Jang Soo-hwan, and Han Ye-jeong were seen.
All three are busy eating soup,
Because I had to fill my stomach properly while Kang Woo-jin was meeting. Han Ye-jeong was the first to place the spoon. She, who has recently changed her yellow bob, looks down at her phone while holding up her glass of water. At the same time, her eyes widen.
"uh? CEO. This article-"
Han Ye-jeong shows the article she just checked to Choi Seong-geon. Choi Seong-geon, who held a spoon in his mouth, also quickly dilated his pupils.
"What, when did this come up?!"
"I think it's been a few dozen minutes."
The article they saw was like this.
『[Exclusive] Master 'Director Kwon Ki-taek's next film's major newcomer 'Kang Woo-jin' suddenly joins... Film company says, "Kang Woo-jin is cast as the lead role"』
Choi Seong-geon, who quickly poured water on his mouth, picked up his cell phone.
"This is... not a brain official, but an official one?"
"yes. Since it's official, here's the source."
"uh. Director Kwon Ki-taek's side. But I know it's not the right time yet. Why did it explode so early? "Is it just Woojin?"
Choi Seong-gun muttered and checked the internet situation. There were already a lot of articles following along.
At this time.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The cell phone let out a long vibration. It was Choi Seong-gun's cell phone. He was a little surprised when he checked the sender. Because it was a call from master director Kwon Ki-taek. Soon, Choi Seong-geon stood up, left the soup shop, and put his cell phone to his ear in front of the entrance.
"Yes, director."
Director Kwon Ki-taek's soft voice heard through the cell phone.
"Choi Dae-pyo. Have you checked the article? "Woojin's casting confirmation article."
"yes yes. I just checked and was about to contact you. "Is this an official announcement from the director?"
"It's true that our distributor circulated it. As you know, Choi Dae-pyo, it was originally scheduled to be launched around the end of June, but Woojin got some dirty talk, so we opened it a little early."
Dirty trash. Choi Seong-gun and BW Entertainment also knew this. However, they did not respond individually. That kind of bullshit was so common in the entertainment industry.
'Well, did Director Kwon Ki-taek look at it a little regretfully? It's good that we've been waiting-'
At this time, Director Kwon Ki-taek spoke again over the cell phone.
"Of course, from now on, Choi Dae-pyo, if you have anything prepared to promote, you can pitch it. "We will open it gradually, starting with Woojin, so we can control the speed by sharing with the distributor."
"Yeah yeah. Director. Then, we will only spread news related to Mr. Woojin."
"But, Choi Dae-pyo. Woojin's gossip that has been going around recently. The theme was a bit heavy heating, but it smelled like someone was working on it to me. It doesn't seem like the reporters just threw it in without thinking. "From experience, it feels like someone sprinkled red pepper powder on it."
"···Yes, that's what I saw too. "It's also the case that the flow has become a bit more rapid."
"Choi Dae-pyo, you have wide feet, so take a good look. Mr. Woojin, this is just the beginning. Wouldn't it be difficult to find a place to find a book?"
Choi Seong-geon laughed slightly.
"Yes, director. Thank you for caring me."
"Well, Woojin, now we have to take care of learning the main role. "Then let's get in touch again."
-Suddenly.
The call was cut off, and Choi Seong-geon entered the soup restaurant again with a strange expression on his face. Jang Soo-hwan and Han Ye-jeong, who were present, suddenly asked questions.
"It's official, right?"
"Are they finally opening??!"
"huh."
"K-The first commercial film starring director Ki-taek Kwon. "The film industry will be in chaos again!"
Jang Su-hwan was excited, but Choi Seong-geon rested his chin and muttered to himself.
'Yes, now, whatever the drought of works, all the nonsense and gossip will disappear. It's not confirmed, but if Director Kyotaro's is also overthrown, it would be a disaster.'
Then, Choi Seong-gun picks up his cell phone and calls the public relations team.
"Yeah, did you see the article? Uh oh. Since it's official, let's throw in what we've prepared. "As quickly as possible through all channels including the media, SNS, and public websites."
Choi Seong-gun hung up the phone after giving instructions and crossed his legs. And then he shakes his head.
'Hmm - there's only one bastard who can work on Woojin.'
It has only been a few months since Kang Woo-jin appeared in the domestic entertainment industry. Therefore, Choi Seong-geon very easily identifies the person who attacked Woo-jin.
'Seo Gu-seop. I'm pretty sure it's that bulldog. 'Whether he started the attack or incited the scandal, it's certain that Seo Seo-seop was involved.'
Of course, Choi Seong-geon was still keeping an eye on CEO Seo Seo-seop. Now that I know that BW Entertainment is the investor in 'Healing Investigation Office', I will never remain silent.
'Honestly, I thought he would attack me right away, but somehow he was a little quiet. Well, I guess I'll have to get my bearings soon.'
Choi Seong-geon suddenly laughed.
'Either try, or Seo Seo-seop will get hurt more than me?'
It was an expression that had something to do with the Joker.
after.
News of director Kwon Ki-taek's next film shook the film industry media. To be precise, the issue is that the hot Kang Woo-jin was selected as the lead role.
This quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry and into the media. It was a worthy source.
It was the same with the new work of director Kwon Ki-taek, an incredible master, but suddenly Kang Woo-jin, who had only been a few months since his debut, appeared as the lead in such a large-scale work? Of course, it was natural to become noisy. The ripple effect is extraordinary. In just one hour, articles began appearing on various portal sites.
Meanwhile, producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was traveling in the HTBS entertainment team van, caught his ear.
"Hey- what is this? Woojin is said to be joining director Kwon Ki-taek's next film? Even at the leading role."
As soon as they heard the news, the writers and junior producers' eyes widened.
"omg! Really??!"
"oh my god! That's right! Slowly, the articles started to spread! Wow, being the lead in a movie directed by Kwon Ki-taek is crazy. "This isn't at the hot level."
"You're sure, right?? If this happens, will Woojin become the director of Kwon Ki-taek's division??"
"It's not up to Satan yet, is it?"
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was scanning several articles, asked the excited writers.
"I never thought they were hiding such a huge piece of rice cake. "It seems like this was decided a long time ago and was kept a secret, right?"
"I guess so. "If Director Kwon Ki-taek is as powerful as he is, it would have been cheap to keep it hidden by selecting it as a sequel, but I think he released it at the right time."
"After seeing Hanryang, director Kwon Ki-taek must have sent the script straight to Woojin. Oh, what about 'Healing Investigation Office'? Well, anyway, Woojin doesn't do anything out of the ordinary."
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was laughing as if it was amazing, somehow got deeper.
"It will definitely be remembered by the public."
Producer Byung-seon Yoon recited meaningfully.
"Hmm- Shall we help out a little with this?"
The main writer's eyes widened slightly at the words of Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was laughing, and he put down his cell phone and quickly asked him back.
"Would you like to help? Ah, are you saying we should also change Woojin's YouTube channel??"
"Yes, that's what it sounds like."
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, with his typical mischievous expression as an entertainment producer, spoke lightly.
"Since the acceleration has increased, let's add a booster."
