Chapter 81
——
a shabby little shop. I see the back of a man. He was holding hands with a woman who appeared to be his wife.
a young couple who can be said to be somewhat young. He didn't show his expression, but "The Man" looked really happy.
Next to them was a brother like a son.
He smiled brightly, too.
[If you didn't know happiness]
[Wasn't he even aware of the sadness?]
However, contrary to his happy appearance, the narration was still dark.
[Boom!]
Then, suddenly, a car accident occurred, and the screen blacked out.
[You don't have much time]. She needs to get surgery right now.]
When the screen was bright again, the scene changed to an old hospital. The doctor in the white robe said to the ‘man'.
Until then, "The Man" only showed its back.
But this wasn't the end of the ordeal for the ‘man'.
[The debt left by your parents]. If you don't pay me back soon… [Don't you know what we're going to do with your brother?]
The thugs who filled the corner store giggled. Then he slapped his terrified brother on the cheek.
At that moment, the "man," who was standing like a folding screen like now, began to knock down the gangster next to his brother.
My brother looked at such a "man" with fearful eyes.
When his brother blinked, the background surrounding the man turned into a colorful room salon.
[He's so talented]
[Why don't you work for me?]? [Then I won't touch your wife and brother]
[What do you think?]
The boss sitting inside the room salon said to the ‘man'.
As soon as the boss's words were over, several scenes quickly appeared.
[How can you do this to us?!] Your parents will curse you in the sky!]
[Oh man, you'll feel cool even if you chew your teeth!]
An old man howls at a ‘man'.
[…I don't know anyone like that.]
My brother turns a blind eye to the ‘man'.
[It just becomes mine]. [Then I'll give you everything]
Two women with different deadly charms are seduced.
Then finally, the back of the ‘man' in a black suit was seen.
The back of the "man" was hit by heavy rain with mud and blood all over his body.
Moments later. The back of "The Man" is slowly closed up, and as he turns his head to the screen, his face is seen for the first time.
The face of a man who lost everything.
[The Way They Chose]
[Only on Netflix]. [December 24]

"I can't believe they edited it like this…".’
It was a short 59-second trailer, but I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second.
"Ha Sarang and PD, you're amazing."
I didn't even think about it. I didn't expect to show my face at the end after just showing my back.
In addition, the face was a face that was haggard from the diet, and it felt almost like Lee Manseok.
However, there was still a really important "evaluation" of netizens.
To me, it was a really well-made trailer, but it could be different for the viewers.
A nervous moment.
I turned down the screen and checked the comments.

Producer Joo Wonho of "Yeonyan Diary" asked as if he was talking to himself while watching the trailer of "The Way They Chose".
“…Hey, Changhoon. "Are you two the same person?"
Joo Wonho alternately saw Jinseok, who appeared at the end of the trailer for "The Way They Chose," and Jinseok, who was smiling in the filming of "Yeonyan Diary."
"Don't you think I'm a different person?" I think his voice is a little different."
"Well, that's true."
Yoo Changhoon, an employee wearing a hat, nodded awkwardly next to him.
"By the way… Producer. I think it's the right thing to cast Kang Jinseok in advance. If you tried to cast him now, I don't think you would have been able to do it."
"Why, is there something?"
"Yes. Most of the real-time searches right now <The Way They Chose> ate."
“….”
"Park Hayeon, who came out 1.5 seconds into the trailer, came in second and third, ‘The Woman Who Tempted Kang Jinseok with Park Hayeon.' I'll probably learn this from Seo Yeonsoo."
“…" Really?"
"Yes, and fourth place is actor Min Kyungsoo." 8th place is Min Kyungsoo's personality."
"Then the first place….”
Yoo Changhoon said with a big smile.
"Kang Jinseok is first place. Thanks to you, the ‘Yeonyan Diary' Kang Jinseok episode is in ninth place."
Yoo Changhoon's words caught Joo Wonho's mouth.
"Hey, Changhoon."
"What?"
"Kang Jinseok's university episode. I've been thinking about this while editing it. Isn't it such a waste to send it all at once?"
Yoo Changhoon nodded his head after thinking hard.
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… That's true. There are more than one or two that I threw away the cut. It's fun to think about the menu at the school cafeteria…. Oh, Kang Jinseok's scene of suffering while studying for the exam will get 300,000 views even if you upload it as shorts? Viewers and celebrities like to show their human selves."
"Right? So… "How about extending Kang Jinseok's special feature?"
"To do that….”
The moment Yoo Changhoon was about to say something.
"Hey! Joo Wonho! Cheersik!"
With a big smile like a hahaha mask, the director of the BDD Entertainment Bureau opened the conference room and came in. There was a huge amount of snacks in both his hands as if he had robbed a convenience store.
Joo Wonho hurriedly got up from his seat and said hello.
"Good evening, Director-General. What brings you here….”
"Ugh, what's happening! Sit down, sit down! Our lucky one!"
“….”
Although he was a director who usually stayed with other employees without any hesitation, it was the first time he was so bright.
Not only Joo Wonho but also other employees looked shy.
Joo Wonho asked the director carefully.
"I… Director General. But what's the matter? He even bought snacks all of a sudden."
"Good things happen! It's good for me, it's good for you!"
Joo Wonho, who was shaking in state affairs, said, holding both shoulders.
"They're going to air ‘Yeonyan Diary' overseas right now, dude!"
"Yes, yes? What is that….”
"You're a big hit!" Hahaha!"
Due to unexpected good news, Joo Wonho grabbed his head.
***
An advertising agency, INSEA.
Most of the employees were working half-conscious, as shown directly that "creative advertisements are made by grinding people."
However, among them, there was an employee with an exceptionally bright face, and Park Kyunghoon, who recently won a large-scale TV commercial for "Maserati."
"Ugh… Everyone's working hard. "And… I think there are people who can't go home."
Park Kyunghoon seemed worried, but he clearly felt that he was ignoring other employees in his speech.
However, the employees didn't care if they were familiar with the way they spoke.
In addition, it was difficult for other employees to say anything because they were making significant achievements recently as well as this "Maserati" advertisement.
"Hey! Park Kyunghoon! Don't be silly, just write a final report and submit it. "Maserati, it's not organized yet!"
Park Kyunghoon sat down with a rough nod to the manager's words passing by.
"Oh, yeah. Mr. Manager."
"That, that, that, that talking pack…. (Sighs)… Oh my gosh."
The manager was unable to speak properly due to Park Kyunghoon's fairly rude attitude.
Yoo Yeon sat down and pretended to write a rough report. Then I talked to the staff next to me.
"Yoo Yeon, are you free this evening? I heard you like wine, so I found a really good place."
"What? Ahaha… No. I think I'm going to be busy today, too. I think I'll leave work late. I'm sorry, deputy."
Yoo Yeon turned round and refused. In reality, he intended to leave on time, but he did not want to meet Park Kyunghoon in private.
"Oh, really? Then I'll help you out. I don't know if it's someone else, but if it's Yoo Yeon, I should help you. It's my adverb."
However, Park Kyunghoon persisted.
"Oh, no. It's okay, deputy. I'll do it. You have to write a report….”
"You can write the report roughly later. That's it, I'll take care of it, don't worry. Let's finish it quickly and go out together."
Yoo Yeon picked up the white flag on Park Kyunghoon, who stuck to the end. He lets out a small sigh so that he doesn't get caught.
"Sigh…" There is nothing I can do. I should take out what the manager ordered me to investigate by next week. It's gonna take a long time… I'll be able to send it today somehow.'
Yoo Yeon hated meeting Park Kyunghoon in private rather than working overtime. I sent Park Kyunghoon a task that was not urgent at all through messenger.
"The manager told me to investigate the guarantee of a new actor that I could use. Advertisers said it was boring because only the people they saw every day came out."
"Well, I see. So, who are you going to investigate?"
"One for now."
Yoo Yeon turned on the Excel on the desktop. It said ‘Kang Jinseok'.
"Today, the trailer of "The Way They Chose" is going crazy. So the manager told me to investigate the guarantee in advance. But Kang Jinseok never shot an advertisement, so he had to ask his agency. It'll probably take a long time to answer, right? Oh, that's not all, but we also need to look into brands that can be suggested to Kang Jinseok. I need to list the actual products. This is going to take a long time, too. So just leave work first….”
Yoo Yeon spoke like a fastball. There was a heart in it that said, "Please turn off."
"That's great just in time. If it's Kang Jinseok, I've already done a thorough investigation."
However, Park Kyunghoon, who was unnecessarily competent, said with a fishy smile.
"It was Kang Jinseok that I asked ‘Maserati' to use as a model."
Maserati was not very recognized in Korea, but it was a very recognizable car brand worldwide.
“…" Really?"
Yoo Yeon asked as if he was interested for the first time. As a fan of Jinseok from Jinseok's debut film, "Dreams of the Sun Rising," he had no choice but to respond lightly to Jinseok's commercial.
Even more so if it's a luxury car brand, Maserati.
"Yeah, Kang Jinseok should do a Maserati commercial….’
Yoo Yeon looked into the air with a slightly dim eye as he recalled Jinseok. Park Kyunghoon, who mistook it for admiring his greatness, was even more condescending.
"So I'm going to meet the manager of Kang Jinseok and talk to him tomorrow. I'm going to advertise Maserati, how much do you want to receive?"
"How much did you charge for modeling for Kang Jinseok?"
"I called the advertiser really hard. 500 million."
Yoo Yeon's eyes opened wide at the word 500 million.
"He's a rookie actor. 500 million won?" Did Maserati ask you that?"
"It's all thanks to my words. Anyway, I'm going to call Kang Jinseok's manager as cheap as possible tomorrow. That way, I leave a lot, and that's how much it's my bonus."
I asked Park Kyunghoon, who was so arrogant that I didn't want to see him, flexing.
"Oh… Yes. But does the manager negotiate like this? "Not the manager or the team leader?"
"I heard that Kang Jinseok's manager takes care of everything. Oh, this is high-quality information, too, but I told you."
I thought to myself, "This person can't be attached only when he has affection."
"But deputy."
"What?"
"How much would you tell the manager of Kang Jinseok?"
Then I suddenly wondered something. This was purely a question as a fan. What he was curious about was how much money his favorite star would make.
Park Kyunghoon shrugged his shoulders as if they were nothing.
"150 million."
“…150 million? Out of 500 million?"
"Yes, no matter how successful Kang Jinseok is, he's a rookie. Whether it's 1 million won or 10 million won, I'm sure they'll say that they're doing it because they're happy with the advertisement."
Nola spoke to Yoo Yeon as if Park Kyunghoon was bragging. Again, Park Kyunghoon mistook Yoo Yeon for admiring his greatness.
Yoo Yeon could not welcome Park Kyunghoon's words, which seemed to ignore Jinseok.
But he said, "Don't ignore our Jinseok! Yoo Yeon, who could not say, "Our Jinseok is the best!" said instead, warningly.
"But shouldn't you be too greedy?" Actor Kang Jinseok's agency, OS International subsidiary…. It's a big deal if you mess around with the model fee and don't like OS International."
However, such words did not even touch Park's ears.
"Even so, the new planning accident and the manager would be a new chick."
Park Kyunghoon, who once more ignored Jinseok, said with a light smile.
"Is everything okay?"
