The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 129: The Boss is a Drug.

Chapter 129 < The Boss is a Drug. >

I told you to buy something else instead of this water that smells fishy!

Im s-sorry, hyung.

The actor, who was acting up, finally kicked his managers shin. The kick was so hard that the manager fell to the ground and let out a short scream.

Ouch!

Did you just make a noise? I told you to hold it in, didnt you?

He was even begging for mercy, saying he couldnt stand the pain anymore. The actor kicked his shin again, and the manager clenched his teeth and endured. Yoo Yeon Seo frowned.

Lee Tae-gyeom should have seen this.

Wasnt I a good employer? But Lee Tae-gyeom had gone back to the agency and was opening the gift that Yoo Yeon Seo had sent him. It was a task he had ordered him to do, in case that person sent him something weird again.

But do I have to leave that there?

The problem was that no one was stopping him. Everyone pretended not to see and was busy doing their own work. Yoo Yeon Seo narrowed his eyes and looked around.

Hes doing it again

Some of the staff nearby sighed with pity. Yoo Yeon Seo quietly stood behind them. His movement was so stealthy that the staff didnt know who was behind them.

Isnt that water different from yesterdays?

Do you think its because it really smells fishy? Hes just venting his dissatisfaction with us on the manager.

What the hell was going on in this set? After the possession, he had only experienced sets with a warm and lively atmosphere. This atmosphere was unfamiliar to him.

Oh, it wasnt unfamiliar. He had done the same thing as that actor to the director during Emergency.

That bastard crossed the line too.

He was still not fully synchronized, but Yoo Yeon Seo unconsciously thought that and whispered to Cha Yoon-ho, who had infiltrated with a hat on.

Has he always been like that?

Yes, that actor has a bad reputation in the industry. Since a long time ago.

The actors face was familiar. That is Oh Jin-seong. A fairly well-known male actor in his 40s. He was a constant second choice for casting in the film industry. In the media, he had a gentle and gentlemanly image that contrasted with his face, but people are not what they seem.

How is he bad?

Because of things like that. Hes quite infamous. There are many victims too.

At the end of Chas secretarys gesture, there was Oh Jin-seong, who was angry at another actor. The actor, who seemed to be a rookie, turned around and shed a tear.

But he keeps getting roles?

I had money and Choi Yoo-jin as my backing, but Oh Jin-seong had surprisingly shown his face in many works.

His acting is pretty good. Hes good at character interpretation. And his mask is unique

Ah I see. There arent many faces that look like they would do such corruption.

By the way, he openly said that he joined this movie to spite Jang Ye-jun. Oh Jin-seong is not the type to lower his pride for a rookie directors work.

Chas secretary, who had been using honorifics, did not use them for Oh Jin-seong. Did he learn the field work from the bottom of the production company? He must have had some grudge against Oh Jin-seong.

So was that behavior a rebellion against the rookie director? Yoo Yeon Seo lowered his hat brim and avoided the eyes of the staff passing by.

They dont get along well.

They dont seem to talk much when they meet Theyre like rivals. Like you and Jin Soo-ho, although not now.

Yoo Yeon Seo had been linked as a rival with Jin Soo-ho, who had a similar environment since his debut as an actor, but the rival structure collapsed as Jin Soo-ho, who worked like a cow and filmed several hit works, went ahead.

Now, if he had to compare their levels, they were equal. The public didnt link them as rivals either, but just as two top actors, and although he didnt understand, they were tied as best friends in the acting world.

Im not that close with him.

Maybe it was because he had shown some actor friendship after the possession, only with Jin Soo-ho Yoo Yeon Seo put aside his thoughts and looked at the set again.

But their images are different, arent they?

The synopsis of the work that Jang Ye-jun was interested in and Only were the same. But he was acting the same role in the same work to compete with Jang Ye-jun? Jang Ye-jun and Oh Jin-seongs images were opposite.

A colleague from the same company came to Chas secretarys side.

Yoon-ho, youre here?

Yes, this is

Hello.

He noticed that the person next to Cha Yoon-ho was Yoo Yeon Seo and opened his eyes wide. Yoo Yeon Seo looked at him and put his index finger on his mouth.

Shh. Can you explain that to me?

Oh Jin-seong, who had been making a fuss for a while, was holding a script and heading somewhere.

Uh Oh Jin-seong wanted the role of the protagonist, but he was cast as the villain because his image didnt match.

He had given up the lead role he wanted and settled for a supporting role, just to keep an eye on Jang Ye-jun. And that too in a rookie directors debut work. He had a remarkable obsession.

But, Mr. Oh Jin-sung, your acting style is not very cooperative with the director, you know

The staff member trailed off, afraid of sounding like gossiping. As soon as he finished his sentence, there was a commotion from Oh Jin-sungs side.

Director, why do you keep saying weird things?

Jin-sung, you did a good job interpreting the character, but you still have to follow the script.

Aha, I see. Thats not star disease. Its great actor disease.

Not all actors followed the script and the directors instructions. Of course, there were actors who showed as much as they were told. Usually, these actors were liked by the directors, so they kept getting work even if they were criticized.

But depending on the actors personality, some would mix in excessive ad-libs, or interpret the character completely differently. The problem was that it would be fine if it worked in a good direction, but Oh Jin-sung seemed different. He believed he was right and pushed it to the end.

Only actors like Park Seung-hwan could pull off that kind of thing, Oh Jin-sung was not at that level

Hes doing well.

But Lee Jung-hoon was not easy either. Thanks to Yoo Yeon Seo, who had told him to do his best since I was behind him, he was able to stand up to him.

Jin-sung, Im the director.

He didnt back down and confronted Oh Jin-sungs words. One by one, these incidents piled up and Oh Jin-sungs anger boiled over.

So he vented his anger on his poor manager

And that too, for show. Lee Jung-hoon, a rookie director, could interfere with the filming anytime, but he couldnt stop Oh Jin-sung from making a scene by badmouthing his manager.

I dont think he was that bad before Maybe we wont see him much after this movie.

No one would hire him. Cha, the secretary, felt good.

He doesnt have any close investors, does he?

No. Do you think he would grovel to the investors with that personality?

Rumors spread quickly. Especially in the closed-off film industry. Just like Yoo Yeon Seo in the past.

No matter how much Lee Jung-hoon was a rookie director, if he displayed his nasty personality like this on the set, there would be no director who would use Oh Jin-sung soon.

Yoo Yeon Seo felt something strange here.

There are a lot of actors like him, right?

A lot.

Like me a few years ago?

Hey, youre different. You invested money, too. Of course, it was a bit risky when Emergency came out

Yoo Yeon Seo realized that Chas answer was not a simple flattery.

Thats weird

He had only met good people and the filming had gone well because it had been rolling around him from the beginning of the production discussion. The fellow celebrities were also kind to him because they looked after his back, he had never met a person like Oh Jin-sung.

But it was different when he heard the stories of other actors or Cha. There were also suffocating nerve wars between actors, and there were a few celebrities who acted like Oh Jin-sung.

And compared to what those people did, what Yoo Yeon Seo had done was just cute.

My rumors, they seem exaggerated.

No matter how much he had won over the director, the rumors that had been spreading openly before that. Maybe they tried to keep him in check from the start because his back was so strong? That could be possible. He shook off his thoughts.

Since Im here, lets go see the directors face.

He couldnt just pass by seeing him being treated like that in front of his eyes. Frankly, who knows if Lee Jung-hoon will hit the jackpot like Jeong Da-hee?

Sigh Lets move on to the next scene.

Lee Jung-hoon tried to avoid the meaningless argument with Oh Jin-sung and move on to the filming.

Director.

He was startled by the familiar voice behind him and jumped up. Yoo Yeon Seo took off the baseball cap he had been wearing and shook off his flattened hair with his hand. His handsome face was revealed and exclamations of admiration came from everywhere.

Oh, Yeon Seo.

Are you doing well, director? Its almost a wrap, right?

Yoo Yeon Seo, who usually called him Lee Jung-hoon and teased him, smiled brightly and used the honorific title of director to cheer him up.

Oh Oh, yes.

He can write a script well, but his acting skills are lacking. Yoo Yeon Seo left Lee Jung-hoon behind and smiled at Oh Jin-sung.

Hello, senior Oh Jin-sung.

Oh, hello. I enjoyed your drama.

Oh Jin-sungs fierce face softened into a warm smile. He was so arrogant in front of Lee Jung-hoon, but he was groveling as soon as he saw him. He was a typical weak-strong-weak.

I also enjoyed your filmography. But I heard everything from the corner.

Yes?

Dont be like that. Unless you want to lose your job.

Even if I didnt step in, it would sink on its own. Oh Jin-seong asked back, Yes? at the words that had a different meaning from the soft voice. But Yoo Yeon Seo put her arm around Lee Jeong-hoons shoulder.

Ill go talk to the director for a bit.

And she dragged him to the corner of the set.

Was that person like that from the beginning of the shooting?

Uh Haha, yes.

Why are you just standing there? Go confront him. Lee Jeong-hoon is the boss of the set. Not him.

Thats right, thats Yoo Yeon Seo. Seeing him return to his characteristic chubby expression from the gentle smile, Lee Jeong-hoon relaxed.

No, am I the boss now? I havent been bossy lately

He had a trauma from Yoo Yeon Seo, who had tormented him during the production stage. But he also knew that this was her way of encouragement. A smile appeared on Lee Jeong-hoons lips.

Im fine.

Lee Jeong-hoon, if youre so soft, youll lose your script.

Im really fine

Then thats it.

Yoo Yeon Seo shrugged her shoulders.

I hope you dont cause any trouble until the release. Its crazy these days.

When he was focused on the shooting of National Bird, the entertainment industry was hit by a series of scandals. There were revelations of school violence, child neglect, drunk driving, and other social issues involving celebrities.

The problem was that all the works they were supposed to appear in, or were scheduled to air, were halted.

-What do we do? We already aired two episodes.

-We have to stop the broadcast and replace the actors!

-My actors movie was canceled and went to ott The production company is on the verge of bankruptcy

-The only way to recover the loss of the drama is to either put PPL or bring Yoo Yeon Seo

The only way to save our drama is Yoo Yeon Seo

Yoo Yeon Seo is our dramas savior

The one who rose in this situation was Yoo Yeon Seo. Unlike before, she had good acting skills, and she had plenty of money and willingness to invest personally. And when she decided to appear, the sponsors who would cover the lost production costs and more overflowed.

You have to bury it well even if you cause trouble. Until the movie goes down.

Yoo Yeon Seo, you said you get a lot of love calls, dont you do it?

Its annoying.

Yoo Yeon Seo was actually distracted by another problem.

Anyway, I saw your face, so thats it. Only has to be a hit. You know that, right?

Dont pressure me.

Its not pressure, its encouragement.

Seeing Lee Jeong-hoons shoulders droop, Yoo Yeon Seo lightly hit his shoulder without hurting him.

Did you hear anything from the movie company Goo Sang?

No. Its strangely quiet.

The movie company Goo Sang had been persistently contacting and begging and threatening him even after the crank-in of Only.

Its nothing. Yoo Yeon Seo shrugged it off.

Cha secretary, clean up and go home.

Yes, director.

Hooray, early leave! Cha secretary shouted with a bright smile.

The director prepared a meal for the hard-working Only staff!

Yoo Yeon Seo got in the car, leaving behind the cheers of the staff.
