Chapter 120: The Phoenix (2).
Chapter 120 < The Phoenix (2). >
A few days after the filming of The Phoenix began, the photoshoot pictures of Yoo Yeon Seo and Shin Ye-won were pre-released on the website.
They were labeled as B-cuts and behind-the-scenes collections, but they were too good to be discarded, so they were released in advance.
-Have you seen the The Phoenix couple photoshoot?
This is crazy, is this real?
If those are B-cuts, what are the A-cuts?
Their chemistry is amazing
Give me more
But why are their eyes like that? Yoo Yeon Seo is guilty
The pictures captured Yoo Yeon Seo, who approached Shin Ye-won to untangle the beads of her necklace that were strangely tangled, while Shin Ye-won was laughing during a break in the photoshoot.
In fact, they were immersed in studying the affectionate gaze even during the break, and the photographer did not miss that and captured it on camera.
-The Phoenix filming sighting came out
Wow
Is it a theme park date? Its already delicious
The writer seems to like cliches
I like it too
Their chemistry is better than I thought
When is The Phoenix airing?
And then, the leaked filming pictures were uploaded on SNS. It was a witness account of the two leads wearing headbands and holding soft ice cream in their hands at the theme park. In fact, some of the pictures were deliberately released by the production company as if they were witness pictures.
As they released one picture after another, The Phoenix aroused peoples expectations and immersed themselves in filming without a break.
Lee Seo-eun, who was persuaded by Seong Hyun-woo, signed the contract. However, there were some detailed conditions attached to the contract. Most of them were clauses added by Lee Seo-eun.
(Seo-eun, what are you doing tomorrow?)
Im going to be sick that day.
(What about the day after?)
I think I have an appointment that day?
(Youre making it difficult by being so uncooperative. Lets deduct one date.)
Their contract period was exactly six months, the number of dates was four times a month, and there were some exceptions such as deducting the number of dates if the media wrote an article that doubted their relationship.
A theme park?
(Yes, do you hate it?)
What, were not kids, a theme park.
(Why? I like it. Ive never been there before, actually.)
Lee Seo-eun had never been there either. She heard stories and wanted to go. But she was too proud to accept it easily.
In the end, Lee Seo-eun, who pretended to lose to Seong Hyun-woos request, came to the theme park and frowned at Seong Hyun-woo, who suddenly held her hand.
What?
Theres a reporter behind us.
Lee Seo-eun quickly relaxed her expression and hung a smile on her lips. At the quick change, Seong Hyun-woo lowered his head and whispered in Lee Seo-euns ear.
Wow, you could act as the queen.
What did you say?
That! Lets ride that.
What? Uh, uh?
Lee Seo-eun, whose hand was grabbed, was dragged along. At first, she was dumbfounded, wondering what kind of person he was. The third-generation chaebol who was called the nations son-in-law was running around like a child, and it was like watching a large dog. Lee Seo-euns mouth gradually rose.
In this scene, Yoo Yeon Seo and Shin Ye-won, who had never been to the theme park before, enjoyed the rides with excitement. As a result, the screen showed Seong Hyun-woo and Shin Ye-wons first date scene very realistically.
Cut, good!
After that, the contract date scenes that made the viewers flutter continued. The directors specialty was to show the natural colors vividly, and using that, Lee Seo-eun and Seong Hyun-woo walked slowly in the middle of a daisy field full of flowers. The sky was also dust-free and clear.
Sometimes this is nice, right?
Yes, its pretty.
Lee Seo-eun admired the flower field that spread out in front of her eyes. Her left hand was already held by Seong Hyun-woo. Now it was natural to hold hands.
Seong Hyun-woo noticed that and stood in front of Lee Seo-eun and stared at her face.
Do you know that?
What?
Theres only us here.
Originally, their contract date had to be done in a crowded place where people could witness. That way, the reporters would write articles that had enough impact.
Lee Seo-eun, who realized that belatedly, looked up at Seong Hyun-woo blankly. And just then, the wind blew and Lee Seo-euns long hair tickled her forehead.
Ah.
Lee Seo-eun squinted her eyes, and Seong Hyun-woo raised his hand and fixed her hair. It was a careful touch with affection. This was Yoo Yeon Seos ad-lib that was not in the script.
.
Lee Seo-eun stared blankly at the touch and the gaze that seemed to pierce her heart.
The two lovers held hands as they faced each other. The director, whose cheekbones were raised high, opened his mouth after passing the scheduled time.
Cut! Wow, that was good!
The staff members who were watching with bated breath cheered softly.
Oh, hes bleeding from his nose again.
Yeah.
Is he really not sick?
Before the first broadcast of National Bird, during lunchtime, Shin Ye-won, who was eating from the food truck sent by one of Yoo Yeon Seos family members, stared at Yoo Yeon Seo who was bleeding from his nose again.
Its nothing.
You should go to the hospital anyway. Our body is our asset.
Well, it would be the same even if he went to the hospital He pressed a bunch of tissues to his nose and looked around.
He occasionally bled from his nose and coughed, leaving his seat. The staff members were also talking behind his back, asking if he was not sick.
It would be troublesome if the rumor spreads.
He forced a bright expression and stuffed a spoonful of rice into his mouth. He couldnt taste anything.
By the way, about the next scene.
Yes.
Seo Eun will be blamed for the accident caused by Lee Kang, right?
The romance between Seong Hyun-woo and Lee Seo-eun was not a one-time thing, and the two beautiful people were quietly dating. Lee Seo-euns dropped popularity also recovered a lot. Seong Hyun-woo received his fathers attention as he had a chance to become the heir.
But another incident happened that lowered her popularity again. Lee Kang, who had no ability and only caused trouble, was jealous of his cousin becoming the crown prince and deliberately framed her.
Im really saying this without any malice. You know that, right?
Yes, its okay. Tell me.
Well How was it for you? You were in the same situation before.
Shin Ye-won added that he didnt have to answer if he didnt want to, thinking that it was a strange question.
Well
Yoo Yeon Seo was lost in thought. Before he possessed him, when he had a national anti-fan image that pierced the sky, the original body didnt seem to care. At that time, he rather
I liked it when people cursed at me.
That way, I could always remember that I killed my mother. So I preferred to be ridiculed as hopeless.
He really dug his own grave.
Yoo Yeon Seo shuddered involuntarily.
What are you talking about? Who likes to be cursed at?
What does it matter? Theyre just jealous of you. You have a lot of money and youre handsome
Uh. Mr. Seong Hyun-woo, please come in.
Yoo Yeon Seo, who possessed Seong Hyun-woo, answered with a witty tone and silently chewed his rice.
***
After finishing the shooting, Yoo Yeon Seo walked to his bed, dragging his legs, and threw himself on it.
Ah Im exhausted.
Shin Ye-won praised his acting, saying that she would fall for him if he kept doing this, and so did the staff. The atmosphere on the set was good, but in fact, Yoo Yeon Seo had to spend a lot of mental energy.
In the drama, Seong Hyun-woo gradually falls for Lee Seo-eun. As the drama progresses, he has to show more affection in his eyes and actions towards her.
He had to calculate every angle of his face that was reflected on the camera and adjust his emotions to show the so-called melodrama eyes. He sometimes got NGs because of the hallucinations and illusions that popped up.
The shooting time was limited, so he had to ignore all that and somehow get an OK sign from the director. He had a lot to worry about.
Yes.
He was lying on the bed, doing nothing, when he heard a vibration from his pocket. He answered the phone without checking.
(Is this Mr. Yoo Yeon Seo?)
Yes, what is it?
He felt the other person sigh. Yoo Yeon Seo frowned and looked at the screen. It was an unknown number.
(You caused us a lot of trouble, Mr. Yoo Yeon Seo.)
Who are you?
(Oh, Im from Film Company Goo-sang.)
What?
Where did they get his number? He wanted to hang up right away, but he was afraid that it would look like he was scared, so he decided to listen to what they had to say.
(Did you take Mr. Lee Jung-hoon away? Because of that, were in a lot of trouble. Actor Jang Ye-jun is also angry, saying what kind of nonsense is this.)
The other person snapped back at Yoo Yeon Seos rude answer. He laughed incredulously as he listened.
As if Im not tired enough. Do they think Im easy?
He had a lot on his mind, from his first romance acting to hallucinations and illusions, and the killer who killed Lee Hee-seo. Now some weird person was calling him to complain.
Oh, I heard from the director. When you were stealing someone elses scenario, when did you say you wanted to sign a contract again?
(How dare you, Mr. Yoo Yeon Seo.)
So youre scared now that Im stepping in?
The shocking proposal to gather the staff aggressively and try to negotiate the best deal possible with the actor, regardless of what guarantee they offered, was bound to spread in the industry.
They miraculously finished the pre-production in a short time and started filming right away.
But it turned out that the director was Lee Jeong-hoon, and the script wouldnt come out so easily in such a short period of time. Movie Company Idea belatedly realized that the director had taken Yoo Yeon Seos side and hurriedly contacted Lee Jeong-hoon.
[What? You want to make a contract again? Are you crazy? Do you think Im a fool?]
[Theres no way Im going to work with you guys. I already signed two more contracts with JS.]
Of course, Lee Jeong-hoon rejected their offer. He had already signed the contract, and he didnt think the production company that had stabbed him in the back once would do it again. He told Yoo Yeon Seo that he felt really relieved after saying that.
(Lets not do this among us in the industry, okay? Its troublesome if you muddy the waters with your personal hobby.)
Personal hobby What an interesting expression. He must have thought that he was not a filmmaker, but just a rich mans money-grabber. But he seemed to have forgotten that the rich man had the distribution rights.
So stealing someone elses script is not muddying the waters?
(Yoo Yeon Seo, you dont know much about this industry, do you? This kind of thing happens a lot.)
Just because its common doesnt mean its not wrong. Dont you agree?
Who are you to teach me? Yoo Yeon Seo got up and flicked his hair back nervously.
Do you think its common for a creator to lose their rights and not get a fair compensation? Are you talking nonsense with your mouth open?
(Excuse me)
The other party seemed to be flustered by Yoo Yeon Seos aggressive tone and trailed off.
I dont care about anything anymore. You guys can make your own movie, whatever.
(Yoo Yeon Seo, you cant do that. Its against the ethics.)
So what? If youre unhappy, why dont you make a movie and release it before us? Oh, do you have a distributor who will take you?
(Sigh Lets play fair.)
The other partys attitude changed when they heard the word distributor. Yoo Yeon Seo laughed out loud at their ridiculousness.
(Yoo Yeon Seo.)
What, do you want me to block all the movies youve made from screening? Do you want me to put them in some rural areas at dawn or midnight? Do you want me to show you what it means to have no ethics?
(No, wait)
Oh, you want that. Okay, I got it.
(Just a minute)
He hung up the phone angrily and threw it aside. The phone rang again, but he ignored it. It was a pretty big movie company, so they wouldnt give up and try to contact him again or badmouth him.
Ah My head hurts.
But he didnt care anymore.
