Big Life

15 - Keep barking (6)

‘Hmm……. ’

Mo cafe in Cheongdam-dong.

She was obsessed with reading while waiting for the director to meet her. She never took her eyes off the book except for a cup of coffee for more than an hour.

"Ha, this is the real culprit?" Is this a man or an animal? I never imagined it, but crazy...! ’

In a repetitive reversal, JooJooJoon throws out his tongue and flips the page frantically.

He had been building walls with books his whole life, and now he's obsessed with novels. How immersed you are in the fury of the villain in the writing.

The book was called "The Summer of Twenty Years."

As soon as I read all the ‘Gale Anger’, I received it from Chaelin and started reading it. The finger on the band that was injured during the shoot was unfolding the last page.

What, are you done already? ’

He didn't know he was going to move because he was devastated.

I couldn't even stir the burnt neck with coffee because of the aftereffects left on my head and chest. The two dazed eyes were chasing a potted plant in a corner of the café for nothing.

"What a great article...! ’

JooJoon recalled the face of reconstruction he had seen on the station.

In addition, I had to admit.

Making me read the last chapter of myself that I hated until I met Charyn.

He was so self-conscious that the writer of reconstruction was astonished.

Glug glug!

The phone is shaking and a call is coming from Chae Lin.

After a long time, he was conscious of the vibration and received a phone call.

“Huh."

- What took you so long? Did you meet the director?

“Not yet.”

- Café Mano, right? There's nothing to do there. You must be bored. What were you doing?

“I just read all the books you gave me. ”

Joon replied with his fingertips touching the cover of the book.

Chaerin's voice brightens in a flash.

- Twenty years old? Did you finish the whole thing? It's fun, right?

“It's just...... worth the time. ”

- That's funny, 'cause that's what they say when they see you. How long have you known he was the culprit? I didn't know until the end.

“I've been expecting him since he first appeared. ”

-Really?

“Well, the inversion was so simple, you'd recognize it right away. ”

It was a bluff that he was pretending to be in front of his girlfriend on a subject that surprised him.

Immediately, the entrance to the café opened, and a man in his 40s came in full of boats.

I was the director of the film I was waiting for.

JooJoon untied his twisted legs and said to his phone.

“We'll talk later. Director's here.”

- Okay, good talk.

After hanging up the phone, Joon stood up tall.

The director gestures to sit with one hand and pulls out the chair across from him with the other hand.

“I'm sorry, Joon. Talked to the production team a long time. ”

“It's okay. I've been reading and waiting. ”

“A book?”

The director bursts into laughter at the same time as the rumours.

I've known him since his debut.

I also knew, of course, that he didn't like books very much.

“Is this it?"

The director held the "Summer of Twenty Years" on the table. He explained to him that he did not open it but looked at the front and back covers only.

“It's a mystery. You write quite well, writer. ”

“Hmm, really? ”

The director did not show any interest, but replied with a yawn.

I like this work, but I think it would be great if I filmed it. These are stories I usually hear with nails in my ears.

“It's been a while since I read a book. We're running out of 24 hours just to check the scenario. ”

“Hahaha.”

“Only the publishers and producers came in and out of a big room. Do you have a hobby for reading? Bring the truck over to my house and pick it up. ”

“Later.”

The director ordered coffee.

After a small conversation with personal friendship, the director comes to the point first.

“I heard about it. You said you didn't want to do the show. ”

“Yes.”

It was about the next episode of JooJooJoon.

The drama was called "Her Sweet Room."

I followed the title of the original novel by Myung Hun Oh. The scenario is currently up to three minutes long.

“Why not? ”

JooJoon sighs as he peers at the director.

“To be honest, it's not funny. I don't like the character's personality. Do I have to say I don't feel human? ”

“I heard that the writer is Myeong-hoon, but he wrote it himself. ”

“Scenario?”

“She refused to write and insisted on writing anyway. This is a novel and a scenario and the ark itself. ”

The director touches the burned ship and speaks.

“The result is immediate. You're still not getting anywhere on Broadcast Three. No TV coverage at 10: 00 p.m., no actors, pushing it into the morning drama. Who are you going to leave behind? Huh?"

The director smiles at the bearded mouth and looks at Juju with a jaw.

“If I leave you alone, I can beat Golden Time. The investors are willing to make money. I heard Park Joon from Cheonghae is going to be the lead actress. What's wrong with a sloppy scenario? ”

Instead of making a bitter smile, Joon sharpened his eyes.

Two women who were sitting at a table a little further away were hurrying down their cell phones while filming a sneak shot.

She stared at the women and said decisively.

“Don't sneak a picture. ”

“Sorry……. ”

The women bow their heads.

This would have been the end of the old plot.

But now that he's dating Chaelin, he's handing out gestures to the women.

“Come and take a picture with me. ”

“Are you sure? ”

Two women shimmered and immediately approached.

JooJoon took a picture with a soft smile and sent them back to their original position.

“My personality became more harmful. Because I have a nagging boyfriend. ”

“It's not like that. I have to manage my image. ”

“Anyway, where were we? Oh, right. What's Joon planning on doing next? Are you going to keep resting like this? You said you didn't like the movie scenario or anything. ”

Joon thought and replied as he touched the coffee cup.

“It's all action or romance, but I don't want any. Boring and common... I want to challenge a genre I've never played before. ”

“A new genre? For example?”

“Here's the thing. ”

He pushed the ‘20-year-old summer' on the table towards the director.

“As I said before, the writer is quite good at writing. Characters are clear, and with a little bit of work on the storyline, it shouldn't be too hard to create a scenario. ”

“You must really like this novel. ”

“You're busy, but take a look. The text reminded me of the video itself. ”

“Okay, okay. Hey, I'm hungry. Let's go eat. ”

“There you go again. ”

The two of them stood up.

People were holding the camera urgently towards their backs as they left the cafe.

* * *

“Somehow I looked familiar... …. ”

The director who came home from his breakup with Joojoo dragged his tongue out of the kitchen.

‘Summer of 20 years old’ was also on his room table.

The cover had a distinct peculiar mark. It was because it was used as a saucer while eating ramen last night.

Since dozens of books come in a week, most of them were used this way.

“Oww... I feel a little droopy today. Body fat.”

The director took the ‘summer of twenty years old’ and lay in bed.

I yawned three times while reading to page 10. I turned to page 2 while reading to page 50.

And when we get to page 100,

“What, this. Who the fuck is this guy? ”

The director leans up against the wall.

The two eyes that forgot their fatigue flourished and the burning neck was busy passing through the saliva. The fingertips of the pages are shaking slightly.

“Hmm…! ”

Soon after reading all the novels, the director nodded his head with an elastic, young depression.

It was a piece that I understood that I recommended actively.

“That's the big one. ”

Once you've made your decision, don't hesitate. The director checked his watch, which was not even 7: 00 yet, and then picked up his phone. As soon as the opponent picks up the phone, he says without delay.

“I'd like to speak to the Mysterium Brand Manager, please. ”

“Hey, really? Director Woo Jae-hoon?! ”

“The editor said so. ”

Jinjin came to the studio and did not shut up as soon as he heard the words of reconstruction. It was an expression of admiration and awe.

Reconstruction was using his laptop to search for the name of Woo Jae-hoon.

“Light bulbs, meat baskets, D... You've seen it all. You're the director.”

“I take a lot of blockbusters. Some are well-rated, some are completely ruined. But the guards were worth a look. ”

Jinjin did not calm the excitement and explained.

“You're the director of human Korea called the Bowl. ”

“The Bowl? ”

“He's a German director who's famous for screwing up every original movie he's made. The German government originally said that if a national filmmaker made a film overseas, it would cover half of the production costs, and that the law was abolished because of the view. ”

“But Woo Jae-hoon didn't ruin the movie. There are some works that are hard to assess, but also exciting. ”

There's a reason they call it the Ball. I once had a bowl thrown at a critic for asking him to spar. But Woo Jae-hoon did it again last year. You bumped into your movie critic in a bar. It's been all over the news. ”

“Did that happen? ”

The rebuilding couldn't help but burst into laughter.

On the contrary, Jinjin grudgingly said without expressing his innocent expression.

“Sell the copyright carefully, rebuild. Filming is good, but somehow I'm anxious. Besides, your work is a mystery. ”

“Let's go talk to the editor and talk to him. ”

Reconstruction got up and put on a shirt.

“I think we should go out now. I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in a while. ”

“Don't be sorry. I just came to see you for a little while. I was supposed to have dinner anyway. ”

With who?

Jinjin listened, pretending to have a thumb instead of an answer.

Reconstruction grabs his finger tightly once and smiles and asks.

“Let's start dating. Hyo-jin has feelings for you, so I don't see you this often. ”

“Just a little further. ”

The reconstruction drove the car to take Jinjin home and then turned the handle toward the meeting point.

I was supposed to meet at a cafe near Guro Station. This is the place where Myeongseok decided because he cared about rebuilding.

I walked into the cafe and everyone was there, including Myeong Seok, Woo Jae-hoon, and the producer's staff.

Reconstruction still looked at the clock five minutes before the appointment time and approached them.

Everyone, including the bright seats, stood up and hit him.

“Hello, I'm Harebuild. You're here early.”

“I'm Woo Jae-hoon. Nice to meet you. ”

After exchanging a handshake with a formal greeting, the reconstruction sat next to the seating chart.

The two eyes of daily reconstruction frowned. Under the table, Jae-hoon was wearing a three-legged slipper on his bare feet.

“You wrote quite well. I read it well.”

“Thank you.”

The rebuilding only went on for a short time. I didn't like the expression that felt lighthearted somewhere.

Jae-hoon scratched his neck and said as if it were a stubborn horse.

“The writer and editor-in-chief will be busy, so let's get to work. I love this novel. I want to buy a copyright. ”

Myeong-seok smiled and was told first.

“Thank you for taking such good care of me. Now I'm telling you, it's a masterpiece that has reason to be so confident in our mystery. ”

“Haha, yes. It was worth it. ”

The gaze of mastery and Jae-hoon, who exchanged words one by one, gathered to the reconstruction.

Reconstruction remained silent and locked in the remembrance of the mother.

“Well, let's proceed with the contract. First I have to decide on the price of the board...... ”

Reconstruction slowly lifts its head as Jae-hoon blurs his words.

He glances carefully at the bright spot, then opens his mouth to Jae-hoon.

“I have a question for you. ”

“Go ahead.”

“Every part of the contract is going to be entrusted with mystery. But what I'm curious about is the scenario. ”

“Scenario?”

“Can I write my own scenario? ”

This was the part that's been bothering me to reconstruct.

For him, it was more important to know whether he could write the scenario than the billboard.

Reconstruction has seen almost all of Jae-hoon's films. There were some works that were broken because the scenario was blurry. Reconstruction worries me as his novel is being filmed.

“I'm afraid that's difficult. ”

Jae-hoon shakes his head decisively and repels the request for reconstruction.

“Leave the scenario to the good writer. ”

“Good writer? ”

“I'm not saying you can't use it. The scenario is different. Have you ever tried the scenario? ”

“I used a little in college. ”

“That level of assignment is not enough. ”

Jae-hoon snorted, looking away.

The rebuilding process became even more aggravated.

Is it natural?

From the beginning, everything I said was unpleasant.

Jae-hoon smiled and asked a question even more provocatively.

“What are you going to do? ”
