1st year Max Level Manager chapter 577
Their Plan 2

"Chief So. What are you doing now?"

Director So Ji-min, who was referring to Jo Min-seong's next project, turns around in surprise.

"How is Chief Jung here at this hour?

Was it because I, who should have been at the company, suddenly appeared here?

A look of surprise appeared on her face.

However, he quickly erased his bewildered expression and continued his words shamelessly.

"I came here for work at a broadcasting station, and I stopped by to say hello to actor Jo Min-seong. What's wrong with that?

Unlike the shameless So Ji-min, Cho Min-seong greets with an apologetic expression, whether he is upset that he is talking about his next project.

uh Is Chief Jung here?"

Yes. I'm going to do some on-site inspections while I'm nearby. But where has the chief of staff gone?"

Well? I was on my way upstairs after receiving the phone call, and I said I'll be here soon, so I'll be back soon.

Although Team Leader Joo Young-hoon is a bit playful and light-hearted, he is not the type to leave the field without a reason.

That is, something must have happened.

But that's something to find out later.

First of all, it was necessary to prevent So Ji-min from waving Jo Min-seong.

"It sounds like you were talking about the nine numbers of writer Bong-soon Guk a while ago, is that right?"

Director So Ji-min answered without hiding whether he had made a bold decision to leave.

that's right. It is a fact that everyone in the industry knows that writer Kook Bong-soon wants to use actor Jo Min-seong as the lead role. What's wrong?"

Before the return, the male main artificial in   Nine Numbers was played by an actor named Bae Jin-soo of Ace Entertainment.

In the beginning of the play, he is the first son-in-law of the Jang family, driving Pe X-ri and playing the role of a wonderful lawyer helping the weak.

However, after the divorce in episode 5, the male protagonist suffers considerable humiliation.

Then I became the main character of the 'humiliation meme' that was used until I returned.

So it was a role that the top actor who had to manage the image should never play.

But in human psychology, if you say you shouldn't, it's natural to want to do more.

So I started talking with an attitude that I won't stop.

"If the actor wants to do it, you can do it.

NS.

Jo Min-sung puts on a shy expression.

"No, I'm not saying I'm going to do that

I know. I just heard the offer. However, if you think that 'Absorbs' is better than the 'River Boundary' that I recommend, you can just do it."

Jo Min-seong frowned as if he couldn't believe it.

really?

Yes. Actually, it's me personally, I want to hold the crotch of the pants and dry it.

However, the final choice is the actor's right. Just know one thing."

Huh? What do you mean?"

"The moment you take on the male lead in that work, you will become the main character of a humiliating meme that will last a lifetime."

Jo Min-seong's eyes widen.

"A humiliating meme?"

Yes. It will probably be stuffed with all kinds of community use."

At that moment, Director So Ji-min, who was only listening, lights a double wick in his eyes and intervenes.

"Chief Jeong! You said the same thing at the last meeting, so why do you keep talking like that? Do you have any bad feelings towards writer Bong-soon Guk? The male protagonist is a fashionable lawyer who rides a penny, so why are the humiliating pictures popping out?"

"I really want to ask Mr. So. Have you ever received any money from the author of the country? Why are you so anxious about not being able to push the work?"

Director So Ji-min's face turns red.

"Isn't that the one who got the money? Abandoning the works of artist Bong-soon Guk,

Does it make sense to push the work of a new artist that you have never heard of?"

At the words of Director So Ji-min, Jo Min-seong is also a little suspicious.

From a common sense point of view, Director So Ji-min's remarks are not wrong.

First of all, the script I recommended for   River Boundary was written by a new writer named Lee Yo-jin, and the production company was also a small place called Tell Me Something.

On the other hand,   Nine Numbers is a self-produced drama by SBC, directed by writer Kook Bong-soon and talented CP Ahn Byung-tae.

If you look up to this point, everyone

It is natural to raise your hand in the field.

But since I was the only one who knew the future of the two dramas in this world, I began to speak firmly.

"Of course, Han Cheol-yong, the main character of the nine numbers, appears as a wonderful lawyer at first. However, from episode 5 onwards, they will be subject to punishment. I get hit by tofu thrown by my wife and sister-in-law, get slapped in the face with kimchi, fall into the sewer, get scammed by a lawyer, and then get kicked out of the house and go homeless. But how can you recommend such a role to a signboard actor who is not even a minor actor?"

Hearing my words, Jo Min-seong's face turns white.

Min-Sung Jo is currently advertising cosmetics, shampoo, and conditioner.

But if I'm right, most of those advertisers will protest tremendously, and in extreme cases, they will demand cancellation of the contract.

As Jo Min-seong's expression changes, So Ji-min urgently calls out.

"Hey, Chief Jung! The script for 'Nine Numbers' only came out in 3 episodes. No matter how much I hate that piece, it's true

What if you make up the content with words!"

Currently, only 3 episodes have been written by writer Bong-soon Guk to entertainment companies.

However, before publishing his work, Bong-soon Guk sends unpublished scripts to his acquaintances and some writers and receives feedback.

If it were now, around 12 episodes would have been enough.

So, I continued saying that I saw the script.

"The manager may have only seen episode 3, but I watched up to episode 12."

"Episode 12? PD didn't say anything like that...

"The writer didn't even submit it to the PD. I am currently only showing it to my acquaintances and editing it."

"Hey, how do you do that

"Isn't it the manager's ability to save that?"

As the conversation between me and So Ji-min continued, Jo Min-seong's expression darkened more and more.

The person who was more confident than anyone in recognizing the script was Jo Min-seong.

However, I was shocked when I realized later that the work that I thought might be okay was a nuclear bomb.

Director So Ji-min refuted by arguing several more times after that, but he did not become my opponent, who clearly knew the future.

In the end, Jo Min-seong's heart completely turned around.

"Chief So. When you propose a role, you have to find out the script exactly before coming. What are you doing now? if not If you ever want to trap me

did you?"

"Oh, no. that, something like that...

"If it isn't, it's incompetent, and if it's true, it's malicious. I will never forget this day. Oh right. I was supposed to see my friends this evening, maybe I could tell them about Mr. So."

Most of the actors who get along with Jo Min-sung are famous actors.

And the staff with whom he suits are often well-known in their own broadcasting stations.

But what if Jo Min-seong is So Ji-min's room?

If you say bad things about Jang, there will inevitably be fewer seats for So Ji-min.

Although she is in charge of singers, she still manages several actors, including Jiseon Yang, herself.

Wait! It's really misleading! I made a few mistakes because that person in the middle of the department said something wrong, but...

"Okay, Chief So. And since it's uncomfortable, I hope I don't see her face in the future.

At Jo Min-seong's sharp words, So Ji-min's face was blushed and he couldn't speak any more.

At that moment, Team Leader Joo Young-hoon runs in with a gasp.

With Jo Min-seong's favorite drink and coffee in both hands.

uh? Chief Jung. What's going on here?"

"Oh, I have work. But where have you been?"

"Ah~ Director Kim Ki-jang said that he had something to discuss with the drama director and told him to go and meet him immediately. okay

I've been standing While we were out, we also bought snacks for our actors to eat."

It seems that Director Kim Ki-gi helped team leader Joo Young-hoon get out of the field.

Again, it was good to come from here.

"Did you go well?"

"Who am I? Like an ace of two rooms, I gently melted the chief and got more endings."

Team leader Joo Young-hoon laughed proudly that he got more of the last episode in that short time.

"Then why are the faces like this?"

"I'll explain later."

At that time, AD of   Heavenly Garden approaches us.

"Now we are going to start filming again, so please prepare."

Then Jo Min-seong looked at Team Leader Joo Young-hoon and said:

"Younghoon. I'll go and eat drinks and snacks."

Yes. Actor Joe."

"Younghoon. Can't we talk more comfortably now? We're the same age, so let's talk comfortably.

"Ah, not yet. After I ask our actor Jo for a big project, I will make it easier for him to talk about it."

When team leader Joo Young-hoon talks nicely, Jo Min-seong's face, who had been talking about uncomfortable things a while ago, brightens up a little.

okay. Do that."

Jo Min-seong, who got up from his seat, looked at me and said, before going to the set.

"And Chief Jung."

Yes.

"I'm sorry for thinking differently. And in the future When I think nonsense, wake me up like today."

I replied with a smirk.

"Anyway."

Jo Min-seong nodded his head and began to capture his emotions.

Then, in the blink of an eye, with a 'sad expression' on her face, she became the main character of the play, 'Kang Cheon-ha', and slowly moved to the set.

He didn't even turn his gaze toward So Ji-min.

When Director So Ji-min was thoroughly ignored, he left the scene with Yang Ji-sun without even greeting us.

But I didn't mean to let her go.

'Chief So. This time it's your turn.'

Eye for eye.

This includes this.

As long as the other person touched my actor, I also had no intention of staying still.

I left Team Leader Joo Young-hoon in the back, and then followed Director So Ji-min.

The hallway exiting the SBC main set.

After catching up with So Ji-min and Yang Ji-seon at once, I spoke to Yang Ji-sun.

"Mr. Jiseon. Would you like to talk to me for a moment?"

Yes? What story?"

"There is something you must know about 'Nine Numbers'."

Yang Ji-sun started as a singer and is currently active in variety shows.

At the age of 25, she was famous for her cute appearance and bubbly wit, but she didn't have any camera tremors, so she quickly adapted to dramas and is being praised for being pretty good at acting.

Originally, she was the heroine of   Yeonmu , but after director So Ji-min refused, she wrote the second chapter of   Nine Beasts .

I am trying to appear in the role of Lee Seon.

why? Is there any problem with 'Nine Numbers'?"

At that moment, So Ji-min, the head of the department, who was ahead of her, shook her head and turned around, then ran quickly and blocked Yang Ji-seon's front.

"Chief Jeong! What are you doing now?"

what are you doing

I'm trying to do the same thing as you did.

As King Hammurabi the Great said a long time ago.

"I tried to pretend I didn't know for a while, but I don't think I can. At this rate, the film might be in a mess."

Director So Ji-min scolds him.

"What a mess! Minseong-san, even so, our Jiseony met the PD today and confirmed her appearance."

"Did your CP get your approval?"

"If you have confirmed the PD, of course it is the same as getting approval. What do you add there?"

"Could I have clearly said no?"

Even before the return, CP Ahn Byung-tae cleared away the writer's and PD's concerns and pushed his nephew into the lead role.

This is because the nephew, who has thought of her as a daughter since childhood, is making her debut and is blind.

It was then.

Jiseon Yang asks me

"Chief Jeong. The information that CP-nim Ahn is trying to push his nephew in. Are you sure?"

"If you don't believe me, shall we call CP Ahn Byung-tae directly?"

Director So Ji-min trembles and catches Ji-seon Yang.

"It's okay, Jiseon-ah. I don't need to listen to Director Jung. We have to go to the next schedule, so let's go quickly."

However, Yang Ji-sun shook off the hand of So Ji-min, who was holding her.

"Chief. You can just check it out!"

"Ji-sun!"

Yang Ji-sun looks at me and asks.

"Chief Jeong. If you are close with Ahn 仁, can you give me a call?

huh?"

"Hey, I can, but Are you okay?"

Yes!

Unlike her young age, Yang Ji-sun has a sharp personality.

As a result, there was no sign of retreat at all.

In the end, Director So Ji-min takes a step back.

Ah Okay. Then, instead, turn on the speakerphone and tell me to talk!"

The moment the permission fell, I'm next to the hallway

He pointed to the break room.

"Go over there and talk."

I took the lead and entered the break room, and then Yang Ji-sun and So Ji-min followed.

thud.

After closing the break room, I immediately called CP Ahn Byung-tae.

CP Ahn Byung-tae called me a few days ago saying he wanted to cast Miso as a child actor in   Nine Numbers , and this is the first time he has called again since then.

After the phone rings a few times, CP Ahn Byung-tae answers the call.

-Uh~ Director Jeong. Smile, are you going to send us to work?

sorry. As Miso enters school this year, all the works have already been decided. Instead, from the end of this year, CP Ahn's work will be given priority. "

-Ah. okay? Sorry.

CP Ahn Byung-tae sighs without hiding his disappointment.

"Over there, CP."

- Uh, why?

"Actually, I heard that Ji-seon Yang was cast in the second role of 'Nine Numbers' at our company today. The PD said that he also agreed, so please take care of me."

I asked So Ji-min about the story of Yang Ji-seon, but I told the manager So Ji-min not to catch the pods.

For a moment, Jiseon Yang waits for an answer, and clasps her hands.

It was then.

As I expected, a trembling voice came out of CP Ahn Byung-tae's mouth.

- Off... Maybe PD Oh did something wrong? that station... has already been assigned a person to take over. How do you do this?

The expressions of So Ji-min and Yang Ji-seon, who are next to them, change every moment.

Ah Is that so? I heard that it was decided to become an actor for our side, but it has been passed on."

-okay. Please understand that it was a mistake caused by the PD not following my instructions. And that friend named Yang Ji-sun tells me to come visit him sometime. In order to apologize, I'll buy you a meal. Anyway, this is the end

Because it's not like this, I say cheer up.

Yes. I will tell you that."

- Hmmm. Then I'm busy

click.

As the troublesome words continue, CP Ahn Byung-tae hurriedly hangs up the phone.

I turned my head slowly, holding the phone in my hand.

Yang Ji-sun was staring at So Ji-min, her face with a blush in her face.

"Chief. this What happened?"

Director So Ji-min swallows his saliva and doesn't know what to do.

For a moment, a thought crossed my mind.

It doesn't end with the line that X-feeds So Ji-min, but at this point, we decided to bring Ji-seon Yang to us.

'Chief So. I'll give you back what you got. However, with a generous amount of interest!'
