Possessed 10 Million Actors

Chapter 85

As soon as I saw the ranking, all staff members gasped for air.

As if a ghost had passed by, there was not even a crackling sound.

"First, first place…"!”

An employee murmured as if possessed by something.

"Wow!"

"It's done! It's done! It's done!"

Like the 2002 World Cup semifinals, everyone hugged and cheered each other.

The only thing that's not screaming is the Sergeant and PD.

I was really happy, but I couldn't cheer purely because the pressure was so high until this result came out.

Ding!

[A new email has arrived]

[Title: Let's watch it on the 24th (overseas)]

As soon as the mail came, the heat in the room faded in an instant.

"Oh… There was this."

Ha Sarang murmured in a subdued voice.

This work, "The Way They Chose", has been promoted and advertised abroad quite a lot.

But that doesn't guarantee ratings.

Not only the number of views but also the duration of viewing is an important factor in the ranking of Netflix viewers.

This is the place where the tense silence flows once more.

"Whoa….”

Ha Sarang breathed a deep sigh and checked the mail herself again this time.

“…Crazy."

The silence was broken by someone's really pure reaction.

***

Is this how it feels like being drunk and floating in the air? Or do drunkards who are drunk and excited feel like this?

I don't know exactly what they feel like, but it couldn't be as good as I feel right now.

"I can't believe we won first place…".’

I've already scanned the titles of Internet articles that I don't know how many times I've read.

[There was a lot to eat at the famous feast]. [The Way They Chose]

[The winner of the Christmas War, Netflix <The Way They Chose>]

[The reason why soloists should stay up this Christmas, <The Way They Chose>]

The title was different, but the content was similar. As soon as "The Way They Chose" was launched, it was said that it ranked first in Netflix Korea.

In addition, not only domestic but also overseas reactions were continuously published and updated.

[K-noir, is it finally going to the world?]? [Let's get 3rd place overall]

[Korean sentiment, noir made with Korean action]

[Special Column] Will <The Way They Chose> continue to be popular around the world.

Honestly, I couldn't believe it.

In recent years, Korean works have been in the spotlight around the world, raising viewers' "eye level," but Netflix is never an easy place to do so.

"But first place in Korea and third place overall…".’

I never wanted to wake up if it was a dream.

"By the way, this is not the time."

I turned on the TV immediately after checking the time.

Today is the day of the airing of "Yeonyan Diary" "Kang Jinseok's College Life." I couldn't miss the airing.

After the short commercial and intro, I saw my room. It was a room I used to watch all the time, but it felt different when I watched it on TV.

[Rolling!!!]

[Ugh…]….]

[-05:00] [College student Kang Jinseok wakes up]

In my reflection on the screen, I cradled my forehead from the start.

“…Is that me?"

I woke up to the sound of the alarm and wriggled like a zombie with my stomach half exposed.

Then, he swung his hand around toward the sound of the alarm and turned off the alarm without looking at his cell phone.

[Kang Jinseok's daily routine starts with turning off the alarm after sleeping]

[Because he's a college student]

[-06:30] [College student Kang Jinseok wakes up after turning off the alarm 9 times]

[Ugh…]…! [Whoo-ha!]

I can see myself crawling out of bed while stretching.

He looked really embarrassed. A bushy head, a blank gaze, and a window with unnecessary sunshine.

All the celebrities in the other episode of "Yeonyan Diary" had a bright feeling, but I was very far from it.

It's like a military life hall… That's what it felt like.

"Sue, fix….”

I picked up my cell phone and called Jang Sunho. Jang Sunho answered the phone when the sound went over a few times.

[Yes, actor!]

For some reason, Jang Sunho's voice sounds more enjoyable than usual.

I spoke to Jang Sunho in an urgent voice.

"Mae, manager. Are you watching "YEONYAN's Diary"

[Of course]. I'm watching with the CEO, branch manager Park Jinsoo, and the chief of staff.]

“…" Are you watching this as well?"

[Yes]. I feel good because I think I came out as a "human" Kang Jinseok, not an "actor" Kang Jinseok as I wanted. The problem is… I don't think there's a correction or filter, but maybe because the actor himself is cool, it's a bit of a flaw to look like a pictorial. [I wish I looked more normal]

I don't know what I'm talking about. That's a pictorial?

[By the way, do you have a habit of sleeping with your stomach open?]? Then you'll catch a cold. It's not good for your intestines either. Please fix it. [Or sleep in long pajamas]

“…Oh, yes."

For the first time, I couldn't communicate well with Jang Sunho. I answered dashingly and hung up the phone.

I decided to keep watching for now.

"How can you reveal one's secret in such a stark way?" People who do entertainment are really scary people.'

It was a day when I realized that the entertainment industry was not easy.

***

"It's going according to plan."

While monitoring "Yeonyan Diary", Jang Sunho could not remove his smile from his mouth.

It's because everything was going according to his plan, as I told Jinseok a while ago.

‘You've only played too heavy a role so far. As a result, there was a sense of distance for the public.'

In particular, "Absolute Unlicensed Counseling", which I think of as Jinseok's next work, was a light romance, so it was essential to break away from Jinseok's heavy image.

No matter how well you act, it's hard to pick an actor with an image that doesn't match the work.

Jang Sunho checked the real-time comments of "Yeonyan Diary" with satisfaction.

– Kang Jinseok is a ‘real' college student, as he spends longer time preparing for his studies than studying for the exam.

HJ: He fell asleep and put his head on the desk LOL And then rubbing his head is so cute ㅔ LOL

HJ: But isn't that a script?

That's acting?

Don't you see that line? If Kang Jinseok's acting skills are good, he can do it.

"The comments aren't bad either."

Although there were occasional people who called it a "script" or a "set," most of them responded favorably. It seemed that I naturally felt that he was more like a human beings than other celebrities.

"I'll let you film two commercials before your next audition." I'll also send you a movie. There's a lot of work to do. I need to hire a staff member quickly.'

Jang Sunho, who organized his thoughts for a while, turned his eyes to the TV again.

The TV screen reflected Jinseok walking out of the library after studying for exams all night.

***

a rich village in Seongbuk-dong.

Known as the traditional "rich neighborhood," it is a place where people from political and business circles live together.

An elderly man was reading a book in a posh detached house in the neighborhood. It was the script for "Counseling Without a License".

"This work I wrote for my daughter. Who will play the male lead?'

knock, knock.

It was then. Someone knocked on the door. The man waited for a moment without answering.

knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door again.

Only then did the man speak in a bright voice.

"Come in."

There was no answer from beyond the door. Instead, the door opened slowly, and the man's daughter came in.

A face with black, shiny hair and white jade-like skin. A face that is sharp but hidden somewhere in its softness.

It was not because of his daughter, but because she was objectively beautiful.

The man said with a warm smile.

"What's going on?"

“……The."

The daughter muzzled her mouth. It's clear that she wanted to say something, but my daughter's mouth couldn't speak properly.

The man kept waiting for his daughter. But even after some time had passed, the daughter couldn't say anything. The man's eyes became tearful without realizing it. The man didn't make it obvious that his feelings would get emotional, so he told his daughter.

"You can text me if it's hard to say."

Nodding.

My daughter took out her cell phone. Then she texted with a very fast hand.

Ring!

Got a text message on the man's cell phone.

[My prettiest daughter in the world: I was wondering if you had a role to play in "Counseling Without a License"]

"I haven't auditioned yet." What's wrong with you?"

[My prettiest daughter in the world: It's my first work, and I'm wondering who I'm going to do it with. I'm also worried.]

"Worried? What are you worried about?"

[My prettiest daughter in the world: I think they are reluctant to act with me… Because. I can't talk.]

The man said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry too much. You'll do well."

The daughter stared at the man. In his daughter's eyes were doubts, worries, tension, and fear.

The man smiled brightly at his daughter and said.

"It's time for the Pilates teacher to come. Don't you have to go down and get ready?"

The daughter bowed slightly to the man and left the room. The man saw his daughter's back to the end.

The man leaned into the chair and sighed as the door closed carefully.

"You still can't even say a word to me…".’

Until she was young, his daughter was a very bright and cheerful child. The man gave everything for his daughter, who is lovelier than anyone else.

But one day, my wife suddenly died and everything changed.

The daughter could not escape the sadness of losing her mother, and for such a daughter, the man remarried. This is because experts said it could comfort his daughter's heart.

My acquaintances who were in similar situations told me that it was a good way.

But it was the worst choice.

While the man was busy filming abroad, the daughter spent her childhood with her stepmother.

And like a third-rate drama, the remarried wife did something indescribable to his daughter.

As soon as he found out that it had happened, the man dropped his wife, but the daughter, who had already broken her heart, became afraid of people.

The man invited all the names of the world to treat his daughter. As a result, the daughter had the courage to stand in front of people, but she still couldn't speak.

"But her birthday when she turned 15. The script I gave her as a gift… I read it.'

The script presented by the man was a script he wrote with his dead wife. Above all, the precious script brought miracles.

But that was it.

The daughter still couldn't ‘talk' and could only recite ‘dialogue'. Of course, that alone was too much of a touch for a man.

After that, the man brought the world's best works to his daughter, and she made friends with the scripts and learned to act.

The daughter may have inherited the genius of her birth mother, but she has matured as an actor day by day.

Looking at such a daughter, I wrote <Absolute Unlicensed Counseling>.

A childish story about a girl who lost her mother and lost her ability to "communicate" due to the wounds she got from her stepmother, and a "fraudster" who plays with a human heart and treats the girl who no one has ever treated.

It was a confluence of male delusions and fantasy. Even the man knew it couldn't happen.

But like the miracle that happened on my daughter's 15th birthday, I expected another miracle.

‘I don't know who will act with my daughter.'

With that in mind, the man turned on the TV.

[I hate exams]

On TV, "Yeonyan Diary", Kang Jinseok's college life episode was being aired.
