Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 283

[Lets find out about the MBS special drama!]

The initial response was lukewarm, but the casting news changed everything.

It was as if the sky had opened up.

(Skipped)

The drama is by Eopbong PD and Eopbong writer, but the cast alone is enough to trust.

Especially, everyone is looking forward to seeing actor Lee Seo-jun, who is returning to the small screen after a long time.

(Skipped)

The thriller Tomorrow, which changed its PD, is also getting attention.>

The MBS drama department was noisy.

The loud ringing of phones filled the drama department.

The staffs cell phones also started to ring loudly.

There was no sign of peace.

Yes. Not yet. Yes. Its a school uniform but.

Assistant director Kim Dan-bi was glued to her phone.

Her colleague Choi Hyun-woo was the same.

The phone was hot from the endless calls.

No, thats not something I can decide.

Im sorry. Spring Has Returned is a different team.

Ill pass on your message, but Please send me your information first.

Writer Yu Cheong-a, who came to the MBS drama department at the call of PD Gong Hee-chan, looked around the office with a blank expression.

PD Gong Hee-chan, who was behind writer Yu Cheong-a, scratched his head at the unchanged atmosphere of the drama department.

Whats going on Did something happen?

Its about our drama, sponsorship and advertising inquiries. Especially, most of them are PPL.

Uh I dont know much about it. Is this normal?

Writer Yu Cheong-a, who was new to drama production, tilted her head.

PD Gong Hee-chan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Its not normal. Its just that the actors are who they are.

Writer Yu Cheong-a understood what PD Gong Hee-chan meant and exclaimed.

Wow. I didnt hear anything like this from writer So. Amazing. Seo-jun.

It might be different from writer Sos time. Um. Lets go to the conference room first.

Writer Yu Cheong-a, who was puzzled by his words, followed PD Gong Hee-chan to the conference room.

The conference room that PD Gong Hee-chan led was empty, but the paper towers on the table were noticeable.

She wondered what they were and PD Gong Hee-chan spoke to her.

Sit here.

Ah, yes.

Writer Yu Cheong-a, who was surprised, sat down and PD Gong Hee-chan closed the conference room door.

The phone ringing still sounded even though the door was closed. PD Gong Hee-chan shook his head and sat down.

As I was saying, actor Lee Seo-jun was famous back then, but now hes an Academy Award winner and this is his first drama.

Thats right.

Writer Yu Cheong-a nodded and PD Gong Hee-chan sighed.

Besides, this drama is a modern one, so its more chaotic.

A modern one?

Inner Doctor was a historical drama, so even if they wanted to sponsor, they could only do things like hanbok or traditional accessories. But modern ones are different. Do you remember how much the phone, Bluetooth speaker, and even the archery bow that Go Joo-won used in Escape sold after the movie was released?

Writer Yu Cheong-a recalled.

I think I saw some news about that. Oh, now that I think about it, I bought a Bluetooth speaker too.

It was as sturdy as the one in the movie and she was still using it well.

Writer Yu Cheong-as words made PD Gong Hee-chan nod.

All the movies that actor Lee Seo-jun starred in were historical, hero, and musical ones, so they couldnt get the full promotional effect. But this time its different.

PD Gong Hee-chans voice became serious and writer Yu Cheong-a swallowed her saliva.

Think about it. How many things will actor Lee Seo-jun use in the drama? Shoes, clothes, bags, stationery, food Well, we cant use cell phones because its the past. But theres a way. We can use old cell phones from big companies.

PD Gong Hee-chan continued.

The ratings will go up with actor Lee Seo-juns appearance. The viewers wont change the channel because they dont know when the past scenes will come out. Then the modern part will come out. The modern part is more free. Its an adult role, so you can put anything from cars to cell phones, clothes, accessories, cosmetics You can put everything in every passing scene!

As PD Gong Hee-chans words got longer, writer Yu Cheong-as face hardened.

There were so many dramas ruined by PPL.

The content was stretched and the mood was completely changed by unnecessary PPL ads that had nothing to do with the plot.

It might have been okay if it was a long drama with one or two odd ones, but this was a 6-part one.

She wanted to make it more carefully because it was short.

But I guess theres no choice for the production cost.

The actors were who they were, so the casting fee might have been more than the budget.

A shadow crossed writer Yu Cheong-as face.

PD Gong Hee-chan, who didnt notice her expression, opened his mouth.

So just do whatever you want!

Haa. Theres no way What?

Choose whatever you want Huh?

Yu Cheong-Ah, a writer who had slumped her shoulders, and Gong Hee-Chan, a PD who was very excited, met eyes.

What is that?

Seeing the blank look on Yu Cheong-Ahs face, Gong Hee-Chan blinked a few times and then shrugged his shoulders.

He placed some of the paper piles that were on the table in front of Yu Cheong-Ah.

Yu Cheong-Ahs eyes followed Gong Hee-Chans hand.

These are the PPL and sponsorship products that we have received so far. Please pick the ones that are similar to the props you have in mind.

Gong Hee-Chan spread out the papers on the table.

There were pictures and descriptions of various products from different angles.

Yu Cheong-Ahs eyes shook as she looked at the papers.

Gong Hee-Chan was not done talking.

Some companies are offering to provide products from old to new for brand advertising, and some are offering to provide vehicles as needed. If there is a product that is not here, let me know and I will try to negotiate with them.

Yu Cheong-Ah opened her mouth wide at the incredible words.

Gong Hee-Chan smiled slyly.

Its amazing, isnt it? We get the production cost separately and we can also choose the things we need like this. This must be the first time this has happened. Oh, this is a cosmetic product. Please check this too. And if you have any designs or brands in mind for bags, clothes, or shoes, please let me know. If they are not here, I will at least ask the companies.

Unbelievable.

Yu Cheong-Ah opened her mouth wide at the unprecedented effect of Lee Seo-jun.

***

Seo-juns eyes were on the television.

The drama he was watching was a work where Kang Tae-Young appeared as a supporting actor.

It was already his third time watching it.

As if he didnt want to miss a single movement, Seo-juns eyes observed Kang Tae-Young from head to toe.

Kang Tae-Youngs lips uttered a line on the screen.

Seo-juns lips uttered the same line as he watched.

When Kang Tae-Youngs eyebrows twitched slightly, Seo-juns eyebrows also twitched slightly.

Seo-juns expression slowly changed to match Kang Tae-Youngs expression.

Seo-juns movements, which were imitating Kang Tae-Young on the screen, slowly began to follow Kang Tae-Young.

When Seo-juns movements, which were lagging behind by one beat, tried to move at the same time as Kang Tae-Young on the screen.

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang.

Seo-jun, who was about to breathe in sync with Kang Tae-Young, blinked his eyes a few times and shrugged his shoulders.

Ill do it later, what is it?

Seo-jun paused the drama with the remote control and got up from his seat. He headed toward the entrance.

Anh Da-Ho appeared on the intercom screen.

Seo-jun smiled brightly.

Welcome. Da-Ho hyung.

What were you doing?

I was watching a drama. A work by actor Kang Tae-Young.

Didnt you say you watched that yesterday?

At An Da-Hos words, Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders and said,

Once is not enough.

Thats impressive.

But what brings you here?

Seo-jun brought two cups of warm lemon tea and placed them on the table.

An Da-Ho took a sip of the warm lemon tea and opened his mouth.

I got a message from the assistant director saying that they need to fix the school uniforms, so they asked me to measure your clothes size and send it to them. They usually wear ready-made clothes, but since its a drama, it would look better if they fit your body.

Seo-jun nodded his head at An Da-Hos words.

Do I just stand up and measure?

Yeah.

Seo-jun got up from his seat and Anh Da-Ho measured him with a ruler.

He wrote down each size that the costume team wanted on his phone.

Did you watch all of Kang Tae-Young actors works?

I havent watched all of them, just the recent ones. I think the old works might have different acting methods.

I see.

And I think I have an idea of what kind of feeling he has since I acted with Do-Hoon hyung before. And I also watched his works, so I think I only need to watch them a few times.

He didnt say he wouldnt watch them at all.

Everyone thought Seo-jun was an actor with a genius talent, but Cocoa Entertainment 2nd team, Anh Da-Ho, and his family knew how hard Seo-jun was working behind the scenes.

Anh Da-Ho smiled warmly and asked,

Did you watch Jeong Bo-Ram actors drama?

Yes.

Seo-jun nodded his head at An Da-Hos question.

Jeong Bo-Ram, who he was going to act with this time.

She was the same age as Seo-jun, not from Yeoul Arts Middle School, but from Mirinae Arts High School.

The audition video that was uploaded on YouTube came to Seo-juns mind.

She did pretty well.

One of the 19 kids out of 40 who were not from Yeoul Arts Middle School.

They were the friends he would spend three years with if nothing else happened, so Seo-jun had looked for the works they had appeared in.

I didnt know I would act with her so soon.

Jeong Bo-Ram had appeared in three dramas and a few plays, but he had watched the dramas, but he couldnt watch the plays because there were no videos left.

Couldnt you find the plays?

Were looking for them too, but it seems like there arent any.

Thats too bad.

Seo-jun made a regretful expression as he stood straight to measure the length from his shoulder to his arm.

An Da-Ho, who was measuring with a ruler, felt the same way.

Are you going to watch Yoon Hye-In actors work?

Seo-jun and Yoon Hye-In, the main actress, had a few scenes where they met, but they were almost passing by.

Seo-jun thought for a moment at An Da-Hos question and nodded his head.

Yes. I think it would be better to watch it.

Even if it was a very short scene, Seo-jun was willing to watch the same work several times if it helped him act together.

An Da-Ho wrote down the last size on his phone and opened his mouth.

And the script reading schedule has been set.

Really? When is it?

Seo-juns face sparkled and An Da-Ho said,

Its scheduled to be held at MBS Broadcasting Station in two days. But they are planning to release it as a drama promotion article, so there might be reporters in front of the broadcasting station.

I see But how far are we going to read the script?

Seo-jun, who was already focused on the script reading, asked and An Da-Ho smiled and answered.
