"Hey, you've reached the Park residence."

"Oh, Byun Hyung, What's up?

Listening to the voice on the phone, my eyebrows jump as happiness spread across my face.

Hora looks over wondering what happened to make her boyfriend this happy she was really curious but she couldn't hear anything.

Nodding a few times, I hang up the phone before grabbing my curious little rabbit in my arms swirling her around with me,

"Ugh! Put me down and tell me quickly, what the good news."

Putting her back on the sofa, I explain "Kim Tae ran into a friend from Century Fox, this morning and talked to him about the Man From Nowhere, and apparently her friend was very interested"

"Fox… Is that...? dah rah tat dah rah tat" Hora makes the baseline drumming sound

"Yep, that one"

…..

"Arin, is a good friend. She was always the smartest in college, She's only in her early thirties but she already has a high position at Fox. I met her yesterday when I mentioned you, she seemed to already know you, so I told her about the Man From Nowhere" In a café, Tae kept talking on and on

Tae and I were still talking, when Arin came in a hurry a couple minutes later.

About a meter and seventy centimetres in height, she is quite tall for an Asian women, donning a black suit, she had brown hair and delicate feature, overall she gave a good vibe.

After a brief greeting, the three of them sat down together.

Arin showed a direct interest, "Dylan, you're quite handsome. I bet you must be as popular Tae was back in school"

"I'm pretty sure had your fair share how admires Ms Arin."

"So I'm miss, while Tae-ah is ?"

Joking slightly, "Darling ofcourse, we were married for 100 days"

"Well, then let's talk about The Man from Nowhere. It's my understanding that Tae has watched and appreciated the movie. You might not know this but I always trust her judgement, she a supernatural power. Right, I heard you originally tried to sell it Sony, how did it go?"

Shrugging, I tell her the truth" The head of the distribution department, Mr Chung-ho, just blatantly refused"

"Chung-ho, I know him his always been the arrogant type" She smiled " Let's take at the movie first then"

Nodding the three of us head to a nearby screening arena at Fox's headquarters, handing a copy over as we make our way seated on the leather seats.

"Dylan, you don't seem to be looking forward to it?" Arin quickly quips as she catches a glimpse of my nervous face.

The lights of the screening arena dims, as she focuses back on the screen.

She had mixed emotions about all this, sure she told Tae-ah she would take a look and since Fox was lacking a good movie for this upcoming season, thinking about how she was even reduced to turning her sights towards a rookie actor's movie, as a gimmick, she couldn't help but sigh in the dark.

Over the past Couple of years, the big three – Sony, Columbia and fox became a big four, with Disney making its way into the film business and since comic movies have taken over, the rise of originals or non-adaptations have decreased in terms of box office. Leaving Fox the old giant to slowly become a disgrace.

Over the past couple of years, profits have been incrementally declining. With the current trend they would be swallowed whole.

Arin had some understanding of Dylan, this boy who recently graduated from high school and attends Seoul university, broke through the entertainment industry in his debut work earning a few notable Baeksung awards, his Variety show appearance with Tae-ah have led to record ratings across the board and with him in a main role in the big drama Eyeris, the hype behind him is real.

With the start of the movie, Arin thoughts instantly shattered, the interesting plot, the drama, the acting quality and the grandiose of it all, caused her to focus on the screen.

Once the movie was finished, she couldn't believe that this was the work of a rookie director. She firmly believed that this may be Korea's answer to Jason Borne or Ethan Hunt or even Tony Stark. This was the next biggest Action star.

Excitedly she stood up, as she excuses herself "Dylan, Tae-ah can you wait for a minute while I make a phone call?"

After half an hour the president of Fox and Seven or eight other Fox executives gathered together and The Man From Nowhere was screened again.
