Chapter 159: Catch Them All
Chapter 159 < Catch Them All >
Do you keep in touch with Seo-juns brother?
Well, yeah. Hes my gaming buddy.
Do you play games together?
If you join us, well give you a ride on the bus.
No thanks.
Yoo Yeon Seo narrowed his eyes at Lee Taegyeom, who was giggling. He was suspicious and annoyed by his brothers meddling whenever his complexion got a little bad. His brother and Baek Seo-jun were close friends, so they might have tried to exclude him from the investigation.
Did he tell you anything?
What?
About finding the culprit or something like that.
No, he didnt. Im doing it on my own.
He responded immediately, which seemed to be true. If he had something to hide, he would have stuttered and denied it.
Dont you know better than me?
Yeah?
Do you doubt your brothers? Hey You dont, do you? Youre the witness.
Yoo Yeon Seo nodded. Was he thinking too much?
Dont be like that. That brother is on stakeout to catch the culprit after work.
Really?
Was that why he didnt contact him much after he said he had a clue? He felt heavy-hearted.
Hey, by the way.
Lee Taegyeom told him what he had said to Baek Seo-jun and Lim Seunghyun. He was drunk and said whatever he wanted at the time, but the two listeners took it seriously. Maybe Yoo Yeon Seo would listen to him too.
Yoo Yeon Seo rubbed his chin after hearing the whole story. It was a reasonable argument.
What are you?
Do you think its helpful?
Yoo Yeon Seo nodded. It was a new perspective. Well, if someone was angry enough to break into a grim mansion and k**l someone because they married someone else, it wouldnt be an ordinary obsession.
Wait.
If Lee Taegyeoms guess was true What if they used me as bait?
***
With that thought in mind, he headed to M company for the Snake meeting.
Is this the place? I didnt come to the wrong place, did I?
Its right.
He thought he would just have a casual meal and chat at a shabby restaurant and call it a day. Thats how the lead actors were cast. He didnt have to come, but he couldnt refuse the request to come.
The place in front of him was a fancy restaurant that he remembered. It was a place he used to visit often in the past, so it would be quite expensive.
Yeon Seo!
Writer, long time no see. Are you inside?
Kim Dae-sung, who was standing outside, ran to him as soon as he saw him. Yoo Yeon Seo quickly checked his appearance. He looked healthy even though he was a bit disheveled at the White Tiger meeting, but now he was thin.
You must have worked hard.
Well, yeah.
He shrugged his shoulders. His expression was bright because of Yoo Yeon Seos positive contact.
But why did you send me the script directly? What if I dont let go of it?
You dont think Yeon Seo would do that, do you?
Hey, Im not that nice, dont you know me from before?
Its not the same as before. Besides, your image is really good in this field these days.
Oh, the articles about what he said at Lee Jung-hoons directors preview were out, and thanks to that, the number of aspiring writers who came to JSENM increased. He hadnt seen anything worth writing yet, though.
Whats the rumor?
Yoo Yeon Seo is a god.
What?
That was pretty much the reaction.
Lee Jung-hoons directors script theft incident was whispered around and got a lot of attention, and Yoo Yeon Seo solved it and supported him during the filming and release, so they idolized him more and more.
Damn really surpassed 8 million, and it was because Yoo Yeon Seo almost monopolized the theaters.
That was probably done by my mother, not me
Kim Daesung praised Yoon Yeon Seo as a god and a heavenly gift for aspiring writers. He spouted such exaggerated rumors. Yoon Yeon Seo frowned as he listened to him.
What a bizarre rumor He thought again, but he had lived too earnestly. He should cause some trouble soon.
I only wanted to choose a good scenario.
Thats why you came here, right? I passed, right?
Well, yes. But is this really the place?
Well Youll see when you go inside.
What? Yoon Yeon Seo read the hesitation in Kim Daesungs gestures. He followed him into the restaurant, where the staff cheered softly and covered their mouths with their hands when they saw Yoon Yeon Seo. He was used to this kind of reaction.
When he entered the private room in the farthest corner, the people sitting there jumped up.
Why are there so many?
There were too many people for a simple drama pre-meeting. Yoon Yeon Seo nodded his head first.
Hello.
Hello! Yeon Seo-ssi.
A middle-aged man in a suit reached out his hand to him.
Hello, haha. Its the first time I see you like this.
Hes our director.
My name is Park Cheolho.
Oh, he finally became a director. He came later than I expected. Yoon Yeon Seo shook his hand and greeted the person who introduced the director. She said she was the head of the publicity team and pointed to the woman next to her.
This is the director of our Snake.
Hello. Im Lee Seulgi.
Yes, nice to meet you.
He sat down after the brief greetings.
Actually, we screamed when we got in touch with Yeon Seo-ssi.
Really? There must be a lot of actors who would do it if they saw the script.
Yeon Seo-ssi is our top priority. Oh, can you take a picture with me later?
The head of the publicity team was brightening up the mood with her cheerful voice. The director, Park Cheolho, who was listening quietly, also asked him to take a picture for his daughter.
Its lucky that the writer is friends with Yeon Seo-ssi.
Its not because of our friendship, but because I liked the synopsis.
Thats the best compliment.
Kim Daesung chuckled. The directors expression brightened. Yoon Yeon Seo was famous for being picky about his works, so his positive evaluation meant that the drama had a high chance of success.
Im glad, Snake is our life-and-death project. We invested a lot of money.
There was some backlash because of that, but its none of your business.
Park Cheolho said politely. It didnt sound like a promising work, considering the weak power of the production team But he didnt say anything since the director was in front of him. However, he seemed to guess what he was thinking, and Park Cheolho cautiously said.
Well Actually, there were some incidents on our side at the beginning of the year.
Really? Oh
He didnt know much about it then. He was immersed in his role and cut off the internet because of the filming of Obscene Murder. M company had a strike in the early year and was in turmoil for a while. It was resolved somehow, but the main staff moved to other broadcasters or production companies.
It was chaotic because of that, but dont worry, the Snake team will do well. I promise.
He liked the synopsis, but he didnt feel good now. And he had never been wrong about this intuition. It was not a problem that the director was a rookie. He had done many works by rookies anyway. But since he was a rookie, he couldnt rule out the possibility of friction with other staff.
But he had nothing to say since the director said that confidently, so he just nodded silently. He was only a simple lead actor here, not a production company official or an investor.
What about our publicity schedule?
The head of the publicity team, who was rolling her eyes and listening to their conversation, casually said. She had almost confirmed his appearance.
What do you have?
Magazine photoshoots and variety shows, and guerrilla dates and stuff
Guerrilla dates?
Its something they used to do on entertainment programs, but it was discontinued and now they run it on a MyTube channel.
They would appear on the street without notice, interview pedestrians, and do fan service while promoting their work. Yoon Yeon Seos eyes sparkled. That plan to use me as bait, I think I can do it soon.
Good, book them all.
Huh?
The head of the publicity team widened her eyes. In fact, Yoon Yeon Seos publicity schedule for his works was nothing more than magazine photoshoots or simple interviews. He had appeared on variety shows once or twice, but never again. But now he suddenly agreed to participate in all the publicity events.
Thats surprising. Did you change your mind?
The main actor cant keep doing this.
Well, were happy about it.
The head of the PR team hastily revised the plan. He knew he would be late for work because of this, but the variety department was also thirsty for Yoo Yeon Seos appearance, so it was good news. The directors mouth split into a grin as he listened from the side.
However, I would prefer outdoor activities.
Outdoor activities?
I want to meet the fans on the street as well, like the guerrilla date you mentioned I know it might be a bit hard for you.
Oh, no. Its not hard at all. Ill try to coordinate it well.
The request was a bit unusual, but it was not difficult. There were many variety programs that would welcome him with open arms and roll out the red carpet for him if he appeared. In fact, the entire variety department would welcome him.
Then, Ill leave it to you.
Were the ones who should thank you.
After finishing the meal, Yoo Yeon Seo bowed his head slightly to the director Lee Seulgi and the writer Kim Daesung.
Yoo Yeon Seo, confirmed to star in M Companys anticipated work Snake
Father and son who met in Evil Spirit, this time they meet as colleagues Snake Yoo Yeon Seo and Jung Hyunsik confirmed to star
Wow, finally
My actor got his next work!!! Aaah!!
Im worried Isnt the public broadcasting not good these days? I heard they lost a lot of veterans because of the strike
I was waiting for his next work, but its not a movie
Im glad its not a movie I can see him sooner
Yoo Yeon Seo has a good eye for works, so Im looking forward to it
Why is my actor not getting any offers
The character is a bit similar to Baek Ho-ham, but its okay since hes a great actor
Who is the director? Anyone knows?
Hes famous in the advertising industry, but this is his first feature film debut
Ah Im nervous
Why are the people who hate Yoo Yeon Seo not here He hasnt even started filming yet and theyre already saying theyre worried
***
He confirmed his next work, and he visited the action school for the first time in a long time to immerse himself in the role. The role he played was a former special forces soldier, and while his partner Jung Hyunsik was the brain, he was the one who ran with his feet.
I need to work on my body too.
He thought so and started the next move. It was refreshing to move his body without any wires. He was a bit confused lately because of the head he was looking for.
Wow Hes flying, hes flying.
Did he get better than before?
The martial arts director of Cheonha Action School, Park Sungjin, admired Yoo Yeon Seos movements. He had nothing to teach him, so he just lent him the training hall.
Yoo Yeon Seo kicked the wall and spun in the air, and the director and the trainees clapped.
Is that possible without wires?
Thats right. How did you teach him that?
I taught him a few times, but only he can do that. Hell do well in the drama.
