Seo Yeon had been cautiously biding her time lately to converse with writer Min Se-hee.
There were two main reasons for this. One was, after all, a personal reason.
As for the other.
"The script has changed a bit recently."
"Y-yes, yes."
Writer Min Se-hee stammered as she nodded continuously.
In dramas, a writer's influence is quite strong.
Even more so if they're a star writer.
However, Min Se-hee was not a star writer.
This was essentially her debut work.
So she had no choice but to be mindful of the words of an actor with some name recognition.
Let alone when that person was.
'Ms. Seo Yeon is, a bit overwhelming.'
It was something that would make Seo Yeon sulk if she heard it, but it was true.
Anyway, to the hamster-like Min Se-hee, the Beopalrebbit-like Seo Yeon was a threat in many ways.
Red eyes, cute face, yet her combat power was strong enough to slaughter countless people... such was the image.
So, those impressions had somewhat reflected in the recent script.
"Why is Lee Yu-ju doing a chair shot here...?"
Seo Yeon was genuinely baffled.
No,
Although Seo Yeon, who felt nothing toward dramas with relatively lots of romance, had enjoyed
Probably, that was her guess.
Because of that, Seo Yeon trusted this
It made sense, as it was a drama that pulled legendary viewership ratings on cable.
That work was coming to public broadcast, but suddenly a chair shot?
Naturally, such a drama didn't exist in her past life.
"T-that's. It seems Ms. Seo Yeon's image having that kind of feel has been well-received lately, so..."
"Do I look like someone who would dish out a chair shot?"
"Ah, uhh, n-no that's not what I meant..., it's just that recently action has been an issue in many ways..."
It seemed her popularity from
But still, a chair shot of all things?
She suddenly became a delinquent.
"I don't use things like chairs."
"......?"
"My opinion was that bare hands would suffice."
For reference, the scene itself had originally existed.
It was inevitable that a being called Lee Yu-ju was heterogeneous in many ways at Taeyang High School, which upper-class students attended.
Especially since Lee Yu-ju was ranked first in the grade.
Naturally, there were many who looked at her with hostility, and there were those who tried to sabotage her.
The moment Lee Yu-ju was trying to resolve it with her characteristic presence and way with words.
There was a minor scuffle.
At that time, 'the eldest of the Lee Hyuk-soo family, Lee Min-hyuk' appeared and saved her.
Roughly such a scene.
It was a scene that made viewers somewhat flutter, wondering if that guy was the male lead.
That is, if only it hadn't been revealed in the very next episode that the sabotage itself was orchestrated by Lee Min-hyuk.
'She's definitely a rookie writer, so she wavers in aspects like this.'
How could such a drama have come out in her past life?
Surely there must have been elements that could make her waver back then too...
'The actors might have held it together during filming.'
Thinking about how easily she wavers like this, that possibility seemed high.
Anyway, what was important was her current script.
"I-is that so. It certainly was a scene that didn't match the drama's color."
Fortunately, Min Se-hee agreed to revise it readily.
But somehow she looked a bit disappointed.
Did she want to see me do a chair shot that much?
'I'm doing a chair advertisement, though.'
Of course, a school chair was a different chair.
If she had grabbed the chair she was advertising and smashed it, that would have been a legendary PPL in its own right.
"Then I need to revise the script, so..."
At the moment Min Se-hee was about to leave like that.
Seo Yeon hastily grabbed her shoulder.
Although she had spoken to her because of the script, it seemed like a good opportunity to ask what she had been wanting to say all along.
She didn't know when Writer Min Se-hee would keep coming to the set.
"Eek!!"
Naturally, Min Se-hee's reaction was quite dramatic.
Being grabbed on the shoulder by Seo Yeon, she jumped in surprise like a mouse grabbed by the scruff of its neck by a cat.
"......"
"Ah, I-I was just a bit startled."
Min Se-hee made that excuse, but honestly, it wasn't just a bit.
What kind of hand was that hand?
A hand that deflected flying paintballs.
A hand that threw people around left and right.
If someone like Min Se-hee got caught by that hand, it was a self-evident fact that she would become dried mouse snack right then and there.
She felt it anew.
'Lee Yu-ju definitely wouldn't use things like chairs.'
When her own hands are the strongest, why would she use tools?
Of course, Lee Yu-ju and Seo Yeon were different people, but such thoughts swirled around in her head.
"Anyway."
Seo Yeon chose her words for a moment before opening her mouth.
"By any chance, there's a scenario with a theme I really want to write."
"Yes?"
"......A movie scenario."
Seo Yeon, who had paused her words, slowly continued.
"I was wondering if Writer Min Se-hee could possibly take it on."
"A movie? Ms. Seo Yeon, you want to make a movie?"
Min Se-hee said to Seo Yeon as if it was very unexpected.
Of course, there were actors who attempted to become movie directors.
But wasn't Seo Yeon too young for that?
"I won't be directing. But, I want to make a movie."
"T-that's a difficult statement."
More than that, what kind of movie scenario did Seo Yeon want to make?
That was definitely something she was curious about.
"But it's not impossible."
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
Min Se-hee's debut work was definitely
So she could be called a rookie drama writer, but she roughly knew how things flowed.
There were many cases where she had participated as a reserve.
An experienced newcomer.
That was Min Se-hee.
"Whether to proceed as a small independent film, or to receive large-scale investment and proceed, it's different. Is Ms. Seo Yeon the latter?"
"Yes."
"Then first, you need to find a studio and be able to push that project through. You'd also need to receive investment, but......"
Needless to say, investment was the most difficult among them.
But oddly enough.
Min Se-hee thought that the latter might be the easiest.
'Jo Seo-hee.'
Jo Seo-hee's main family had a lot of money.
An enormous amount.
Even just looking at the business ranking, they were within a hand's count.
Moreover, recently there were signs that she was taking interest in the cultural industry because of her daughter.
Probably, she seemed to be trying to use some influence for the first time in
'There's also GH Group.'
Recalling this
Min Se-hee, who had seen that variety show, could roughly understand the script of this variety show.
From start to finish.
It was literally a variety show made for Seo Yeon.
Probably, they would be the first to lend a hand if Seo Yeon said she wanted to make a movie.
"Of course, Ms. Seo Yeon will appear as an actress."
"Yes."
"Usually an actor's name value influences the movie's investment or production. There's a saying that half of a movie's production cost is the actors' appearance fees, right? In other words, if your own appearance fee is expensive, you save that much on production costs. And......"
"And?"
"If a star writer joins, it becomes more certain. Ah, the director too."
If even the script had power.
Producing the movie was not at an impossible level.
However.
'I'm not at that level.'
Min Se-hee sighed.
She was curious about the movie scenario Seo Yeon wanted to make, but she thought she wasn't at the level to take it on.
"......Then."
Seo Yeon hesitated before speaking.
"If I make a movie, would you be able to take on the scenario? Ah, of course, if the theme I want to make is... acceptable to you."
Rarely, Seo Yeon spoke with hesitation.
She had a movie she wanted to make, but she had no intention of dragging acquaintances into a movie that would fail.
If she were to make one, she wanted to make a movie that could succeed.
Of course, everyone who makes a movie would think that way.
"Yes? I'm not exactly a famous writer... Ms. Seo Yeon could find a better writer."
Min Se-hee said in a flustered tone.
She wondered if it was a joke, but Seo Yeon's face was serious.
"You can do it."
Seo Yeon believed.
Even just looking at
She would surely beautifully express the content she had in mind.
She had that conviction.
"You will become a star writer."
So Seo Yeon said with a strong tone.
"I will, with this
Putting that conviction into words.
"I'll make it so."
At those words, Min Se-hee inadvertently nodded.
If it went exactly as she said, there would be nothing bad for her.
***
Seo Yeon thought.
The two people she met at the previous fan meeting.
No, the thoughts themselves were something she had been constantly thinking about from before.
Ever since the point she became an actress.
Perhaps the reason she didn't do anything else and clung only to acting was because of that.
Because the moment she appeared on screen or TV as an actress was the only communication toward her.
'Joo Seo-yeon.'
Her own name.
Seo Yeon muttered that name inwardly as she recalled memories of her past life.
Within those memories, her name was surely there too.
It's faint now.
Not as her own memory, but as a word called out by someone.
That someone.
The person she had met recently.
'I need to graduate.'
From her past self.
But, she couldn't do it yet.
She hadn't known it herself, but the previous fan meeting had made her reaffirm that there was lingering attachment remaining like a sediment.
As long as her past self existed, there were emotions she could never attain.
That, she thought was not good.
So this was preparation for that.
Preparation for graduation.
Still far away, but step by step.
May this movie become her diploma.
Seo Yeon thought so as she exhaled.
'Anyway.'
Seo Yeon lifted her head.
Her room came into view.
However, it was different from usual.
That was because today this place was a filming set.
Namely, 'Golden Duckling'.
The new variety show Seo Yeon was attempting, an observation variety show.
Honestly, even if it was called an observation variety show, she wasn't sure what to do.
'......What should I do.'
PD Jeon Ha-young of
But rather, it felt like it was being emphasized in reverse that she shouldn't just show her usual appearance.
Well, it was a variety show after all.
'Other people do all sorts of things.'
Seo Yeon seriously pondered.
Should she also do external activities and such like other people?
'Studying appearance is enough for now.'
Seo Yeon closed the notebook she had been scribbling in.
Honestly, she hadn't really studied.
It wasn't idle fantasy toward a vague future... let's call it roughly a plan.
She successfully packaged that as if it were studying and showed it to the camera installed in her room.
Anyway,
If a appearance of neglecting academics came out, there would be talk in many ways.
- Not a student? Your studying appearance doesn't even show up?
- Ah lol You make good money, what studying lol
Sarcastic posts like that were frequently uploaded.
Because of that, the appearing actors would at least put in a short scene of studying, even if just formally.
The difference between having it and not having it at all was bigger than expected.
And Seo Yeon tapped the chair and spoke.
'Should I deliver some line or something.'
She tried to naturally PPL the chair... but something felt awkward.
Anyway, the chair Seo Yeon was currently sitting on was the chair she would be advertising.
She hadn't done the advertisement filming yet, but she should practice in advance.
'But how do I do a chair PPL.'
For reference, the chairs in Seo Yeon's house had all been replaced with ADs brand.
So she wanted to promote it naturally somehow, but it wasn't going as she wanted.
"......"
So what do I do now?
Seo Yeon seriously contemplated.
Now, what she normally did was usually gaming.
And watching VTubers.
Next, watching various video media.
As for exercise, she usually did it in the morning, so going now was also awkward.
If she went in the afternoon, there were no spots, and the gazes of people looking were too strong, making it difficult to exercise properly.
'Hmm.'
Seo Yeon sat back down.
Well, they said to do it like usual, so should I just watch VTubers?
While having such thoughts.
"O-our daughter~. Mom brought some fruit."
"Ye... yes?"
Seo Yeon turned her head naturally to answer, then stiffened upon seeing Soo-ah who opened the door and came in.
'No, what on earth.'
Soo-ah was different from usual.
Soo-ah was usually not one to dress up much.
Even her clothes were comfortable ones like an ordinary housewife would wear at home.
But today.
Soo-ah was in a perfectly dressed-up state, as if she had gotten styling from somewhere.
Styled from head to toe.
Dressed up like that, her appearance didn't seem like someone in her late thirties at all.
No, she looks like she's in her twenties.
'That's, a bit unreasonable, isn't it.'
Seo Yeon seriously thought so.
Looking at it one way, she thought her own appearance hadn't particularly received any correction, to that extent.
Isn't it purely that her genes are good?
Anyway, that appearance was one thing, but the outfit also caught her eye.
Clothes that were comfortable as if worn at home yet subtly revealed her figure.
They were definitely not clothes Soo-ah owned.
'Could it be, Park Jung-woo's mother?'
The only person who could dress up mom to this extent was barely at that level.
Ji-yeon's mother dressed up enthusiastically but didn't have the skill.
'Mom knows exactly what her weapons are.'
Seo Yeon inadvertently admired.
The first thing that caught her eye was the massive thing.
Seeing that, her gaze naturally went to her own chest as well.
That action didn't come from envy.
That's because she was the one who inherited those genes.
'Surely. Not me, right.'
This much was enough.
Seo Yeon thought so, but recently she started to worry.
Even though she was diligently moving her body to burn fat, their presence was gradually growing bigger.
She'd reached the point of needing to buy new underwear, so the anxiety growing was natural.
"So, what is our daughter going to do now? Games? Or that thing?"
'That thing' surely referred to VTubers.
But looking into Soo-ah's eyes, she felt like she would die if she watched that now.
Those eyes were the 'You need to manage your image properly' eyes.
'Ah, image.'
Thinking like that, she recalled again the intention of filming this observation variety show.
Image.
To perfectly shed her strange image!
'Then what should I do.'
Studying was already done.
No, to be precise, it wasn't studying.
Then, should she do something active like sports now?
'Gaming?'
It was clearly eSports, so wouldn't that count?
While having such thoughts.
"Dad's home."
Clank.
The sound of the house door opening was heard.
Along with that sound, Seo Yeon and Soo-ah's heads instantly turned toward the direction of the sound.
Why is that person here at this time??
The two's reactions were identical.
At this time, Young-bin should be working hard at the company.
