âYou donât have any lines for this. What do you think?â
Seojun tilted his head at the question of An Daho. Although there were no lines for the child actor, it was a popular play last year.
âHmm. Is there anything else?â
âOkay. Letâs find others.â
At Seojunâs words, An Daho immediately put down the script. An Daho sighed inside.
There were not many plays with child actors, but will there be a play that eventually Seojun would like?
âI need to tell the company to look for more.â
Seojun and An Daho sat next to each other and looked through the scripts diligently.
After a while, the doorbell rang.
Seojun was about to get up, but An Daho got up instead and headed to the intercom.
The conversation continued for a while, and the front door opened.
âUncle Hee-sung!â
Kim Hee-sung went to visit him.
Seojun smiled and welcomed Kim Hee-sung. Kim Hee-sung reached out his hand to An Daho, while carrying Seojun.
An Daho quickly held and shook his hands.
âHello, Iâm Seojunâs uncle, Kim Hee-sung. Youâre Seojunâs manager, right?â
âYes, Iâm actor Lee Seojunâs manager, An Daho. I look forward to your kind cooperation!â
âPlease take good care of Seojun.â
They met without Seo Eun-chanâs intervention, was he lucky?
After the greetings, Kim Hee-sung sat on the floor of the living room familiarly, while Seojun and An Daho sat in their seats.
âWhat brought you here, uncle?â
âI was wondering if you have a new design.â
âYes! Iâll bring my sketchbook!â
Seojun gave Kim Hee-sung a sketchbook full of monster drawings and played with him from time to time.
Kim Hee-sung slowly browse the sketchbook, while Seojun and An Daho began reading the script again.
âThis is unbelievable!â
Seojunâs drawing skills improved day by day.
The pictures were so realistic that they could be already used for a product design presentation.
After he looking at the picture again, he looked up. He saw the other two people immersed in reading scripts.
Certainly, browsing pictures was faster than reading.
Kim Hee-sung, who finished his work in just 10 minutes, took one of the scripts from the pile and asked.
âWhatâs this? Drama or movie?â
âNo, they are scripts for plays!â
âA play?â
Kim Hee-sung tilted his head and brought the script closer to read it.
After turning a few pages, there were lines highlighted.
âEven if this are for plays, can I read them?â
âThis are the child actorâs part, right? There are only few lines.â
âIt doesnât matter, as long as I like the script I would do it.â
After an hour of sitting and reading, Seojun put his head down on the table while, his hands and eyes were still facing the script.
âSigh. Ah, what should I do? When will I find a better script?â
Kim Hee-sung, who was reading the script, shrugged and picked up his cell phone.
âIs there any notice posted on the internet?ââ
âYeah. I would always browse with my mom, but they are age limit. Daho-hyung already found plays for me that has no age limitations.â
âReally?â
âYes. Team 2 helped me chose popular plays where Seojun could act and without age limitations.â
At An Dahoâs words, Seojun, who was drooping, and Kim Hee-sang, who was searching on his cell phone, turned their heads towards him and looked at his face.
An Daho was surprised and went restless by the gaze of the two people looking at him.
âIs there something wrong?â
âPopular?â
âPopular?â
At the words of Seojun and Kim Hee-sung, An Daho knelt down without realizing it. Cold sweat flowed behind his back.
He replied while stuttering.
âYes. For actor Lee Seojunâs filmography, we have collected plays that are likely to become successful. Considering all the conditions, including good actors, famous directors, and famous writersâŚâŚ.â
An Daho slowly lowered his voice towards the end. Something seems wrong.
âI see.â
Seojun looked at the script he had already read three times.
He realized that there were many remakes of previous plays or translations of famous foreign plays.
Kim Hee-sung laughed at An Daho, who went restless at Seojunâs droopy appearance.
He didnât seem to know anything about Seojun yet.
âDAHO, what did the boss say?â
âThe boss? Because Seojun wanted to act in a play, he told me to find suitable scripts and send it over.â
It was not wrong, but it seems Seo Eun-chanâs explanation was insufficient.
Perhaps the Team w, which is dedicated to actor Lee Seojun, wanted a box office hit like Shadowman 1, The Devil, and Shadowman 2.
Well, even if it was Kim Hee-sung, he wouldnât want something that could ruin Seojunâs Filmography.
âI donât care about box office hits. Daho-Hyung.â
An Daho was surprised and looked at Seojun.
âI want to do what I want to do rather than having a box office hit. So please give me all the scripts that I want next time.â
Upon hearing Seojunâs words, An Daho replied sullenly.
âOkay. Iâm sorry.â
âNo! You donât have to be sorry! I just want to act in various roles regardless of box office success. But of course, please donât include scripts that you think would fail.â
âWhat about this?â
Kim Hee-sung intervened between the two apologizing to each other.
Colorful announcements was on the mobile phone screen.
An Dahoâs gaze became gloomy.
âItâs a play for only children and teen actors. There are no adult actor, and the performance would only during the summer vacation. Also, age doesnât matter either.â
âI saw that too, but I donât think itâs a play that Seojun would be inâŚ.â
âUncle, do you have the script?ââ
At Seojunâs words, An Daho saw Seojunâs eyes sparkle.
âIt really has nothing to do with box office success?â An Dahoâs eyes were quite confused.
âItâs up here. Look at the amount of lines and characters. You can even write down the roles you want play on the application form.â
âUncle, pick one for me!â
âOkay.â
Kim Hee-sung familiarly headed to a printer installed on at the corner of the living room. Seojun stood next to Kim Hee-sung and waited for the script to be printed out quickly.
An Daho felt out of place.
While working in the entertainment industry, he met many actors who were always looking for works that seemed to be a big hit.
If a famous actor appears, a plus.
And if a new actor appears, a minus.
If a good director directs a plus.
And if a new director directs a minus.
Neither the writer nor the production company were different.
The same thinking was true for Cocoa Entertainmentâs second team.
Everyone thinks like that so they only looked for scripts full of Plus.
But was this kind of play okay too?
âUnpredictableâ
The script was soon printed out from the printer.
As soon as the script came out, Seojun read the script one by one while standing.
He reached out and collected the paper from the printer one by one, but he couldnât take his eyes off the script.
Kim Hee-sung sat down with a satisfied face.
At the natural appearance of the two, An Daho hesitated and opened his mouth.
He could see why President Seo Eun-chan said he would introduce him to a person named Kim Hee-sung.
âSi-sir..â
âWhat?â
âWhat should I do to support Seojun from now on?â
âThatâs right.â
That was a good question.
Kim Hee-sung knew something on Seojun that the couple would never understand.
âFirst of all, Seojun doesnât do anything he doesnât want to do. But if there is something he wants to do, he will push through and never give up.â
Kim Hee-sung recalled his past eight-month experience with Seojun.
Despite the frustration of failing to have a villainous acting he never gave up and eventually achieved it in the end.
He really admired Seojunâs dedication.
âOnly a few people know this story, but Seojun practiced only one script for eight months before shooting Shadowman 2.â
â8 months?â
An Dahoâs eyes got bigger.
âYes. That happens if Seojun want to do something. Also Seojun donât care about box office success. If he likes it, he will do it.â
âI see.â
Right now, he thought he should let team 2 stop looking for box office script.
An Daho took out his cell phone.
âWellâŚIf you excuse me, I will just make a phone callâŚ.â
âYes, Itâs fineâ
Then he went to a corner and made a phone call.
Team 2 that heard the story from An Daho and sighed.
Their CEO didnât inform them the most important thing!
âFirst of all, except for the ones that I think Iâll failâŚâŚ No, I will send everything except for works that have problems with the director or the production company.â
âHe will accept a childrenâs musical too? Then we will search for it!â
The team 2 became noisy again, while Seo Eun-chan, who was in the presidentâs office, felt his ears becoming itchy.
âI want to do this!â
Seojun, who had read the whole scripts, raised his head with an excited face.
An Daho immediately took out his notebook, and Kim Hee-sung asked Seojun some questions while eating the snacks he bought.
âReally? What role do you want?â
âBlue dragon!â
âBlue dragon?â
Unlike An Daho, who tilted his head, Kim Hee-sung nodded.
Seojunâs face, regained excitement.
Kim Hee-Sung thought about Seojun, who would always be with some monster dolls ever since he was a baby.
Perhaps, the source of Seojunâs acting skills was when he was playing with his monster dolls. Back then he would usually perform puppet show with the dolls he gifted him.
âI knew this day would come someday. I thought Iâd only act in Hollywood fantasy movies, but I canât believe this day has already come.â
Seojun excitedly talked about the plot. An Daho focused on listening to Kim Hee-sang and Seojun, but he was quite confused on why the Blue Dragon.
âYouâre not the main character. It has an impact, but I think the amount of lines is less compared to the other roles.â
