Chapter 159

He smiled at the familiar faces of the assistant director who would be his hands and feet, the cinematographer who would be his eyes, the lighting director, the art director, and so on.

The directors who had gathered in the conference room of Dahong, the film production company, also looked cheerful, saying that they would work comfortably without worrying about the box office for a change.

Director Woo Jeong-han opened his mouth.

The title is not decided yet, but the time period is Danjongs era. Thats why Im calling it Danjong for now. The lead role of Danjong will be played by Lee Seo-jun, and the other roles are not decided yet. The production company is Dahong. Is it easy to work with them?

The cinematographer, who had been listening to Director Woo Jeong-hans smooth words, let out a silent scream. 

The other directors who were in the conference room also stared blankly at Director Woo Jeong-han.

The assistant director, who had been picking up snacks that were prepared, spat out a cracker with a cluck. What? Who?

Lee Seo-jun?

Yes.

Really? That Lee Seo-jun?

Yeah.

He looked like he was telling the truth, with his face that didnt sweat or turn red.

The assistant director and the directors clapped their hands without realizing it. 

It seemed like there was a halo behind Director Woo Jeong-han.

I have a list of supporting actors. For the roles that are not on the list, Im thinking of holding auditions.

Auditions?

The assistant director tilted his head.

Lee Seo-jun is starring in it. Do you think this movie will end in Korea? Even My Way was popular worldwide.

Exclamation marks appeared over the heads of the directors.

The actors who appeared in My Way got overseas fans, and who was it? The idol actor who appeared in My Way. His group also got a lot of overseas fans.

Along with words about this and that direction, this and that meaning, the director, writer, and production staff were also mentioned. Korean works starring Lee Seo-jun did not stay in Korea.

Its an opportunity to enter overseas with a small investment. Aspiring actors, idols who are acting, and idol agencies will want to appear in it no matter what, and that will be obvious poison for us.

Director Woo Jeong-han sighed.

Id like to choose all the extras myself if I could, but thats impossible because of time.

They all nodded at Director Woo Jeong-hans words. 

The cinematographer opened his mouth.

Auditions? Its going to be a mess.

Before holding auditions, Director Woo Jeong-han started casting the supporting actors for Danjong.

Danjong has been confirmed to be played by Lee Seo-jun.

Wow.

The planning team leader exclaimed and wrote down Lee Seo-juns name on the white board.

[Danjong Lee Seo-jun]

Kim Jong-seos role is Park Woon-yeol as the first choice.

Park Woon-yeol is reliable.

Its getting chilly these days. We need to check his health.

[Kim Jong-seo Park Woon-yeol]

Next is Prince Suyang

Director Woo Jeong-hans voice stopped. The planning team leader tilted his head.

Dont you have an actor in mind? Director Woo?

I do, but

Just tell us. Well bring him right in front of you.

At the confident attitude of the planning team leader, Director Woo Jeong-han, who had been hesitating, opened his mouth.

I want Lee Ji-seok

Lee Ji-seok?

Question marks popped up over the heads of the staff. 

They all imagined a two-shot of Lee Seo-jun and Lee Ji-seok in their heads. 

It wasnt hard. 

The image was already ingrained in them.

At the unexpected appearance of an actor, the planning team leader rubbed his frowning forehead and cautiously opened his mouth.

If its Lee Ji-seok alone, hes fine for Prince Suyang. Hes one of the few male actors in their thirties who can act at that level. He might even be more impressive than Prince Suyang ten years ago.

Director Woo Jeong-han nodded repeatedly. Danjong, which he had kept in his heart for ten years, unconsciously made Director Woo Jeong-hans eyes turn to the actor who would play that role. 

And then he saw Lee Ji-seok.

The cold gaze of Heo Ui-gwan looking at the palace pierced Director Woo Jeong-hans heart like an arrow.

But, the opposite role is Lee Seo-jun. Director Woo.

That was the problem.

Director Woo Jeong-han swallowed the sigh that rose from the depths of his stomach.

Lee Ji-seok and Lee Seo-juns combination was already embedded in peoples brains with My Way. 

And it was very fluffy, warm, and affectionate. 

In a modern setting, when they met, they would look at them with a pleased eye and say, They met in Hwaseong. 

It was very deeply melted.

The planning team leader continued.

Prince Suyang is the one who kills Danjong. He cant be Grand Prince Suyang or Heo Ui-gwan.

Hmm

He had to break the card of Lee Ji-seok, since he couldnt discard the card of Lee Seo-jun. But Director Woo Jeong-han couldnt give up easily. 

If he made that cold gaze look at Seongnyeongdaegun instead of the palace, there would be no better actor for him.

He couldnt go out recklessly, so Director Woo Jeong-han suggested one thing.

Cant we at least see the audition?

Audition?

Lets call Lee Seo-jun and Lee Ji-seok and have an audition. They will act in full costume, like in the actual footage. If you still see the image of Grand Prince Suyang and Heo Ui-gwan after watching that, Ill give up.

The planning team members looked skeptical at Director Woo Jeong-hans words. But they nodded their heads because the boss here was Director Woo Jeong-han.

The planning team leader said.

Okay. Then, Ill contact Lee Ji-seok.

Ill contact Lee Seo-jun.

Please prepare a second choice actor in case Lee Ji-seok doesnt work out. Director Woo.

Director Woo Jeong-han nodded heavily.

That same day, in the afternoon.

Lee Ji-seok received a call from Dahong, the film production company.

He hung up the phone and tapped his fingers on the table. 

He jumped up and wandered around the living room. 

He bit his lip, rubbed his forehead, and brushed his hair back. 

His eyes sparkled.

He picked up his phone and contacted someone. 

The ringing sound continued and someones voice came out. 

He smiled brightly and said.

Hey. Seo-jun. Help me out.

***

Inside the Actor Lee Seo-juns practice room at Cocoa Enter, which had been renovated.

Seo-jun and Ji-seok were chatting while manipulating the camera installed on the ceiling.

This is awesome. A practice room.

Right? I have a smaller one at home, but its the same as this one.

Really? I should make one too.

Do you want me to ask my dads company?

Thanks!

And they chatted with their eyes shining like acting enthusiasts. 

At their sight, Ji-seoks manager, Yoon Sung-oh, shook his head.

It would be fun if Ji-seok hyung plays Prince Suyang.

I feel the same way. It would be nice to change my image. Lately, I feel like I only play the protagonist, so I wanted to try playing a villain character like Grand Prince Suyang.

After receiving Dahongs call, Eui-seok hesitated. 

He knew that it was not easy for him and Seo-jun to change their image. But he wanted to challenge himself. 

He thought it would be fun to act intensely with Seo-jun.

I see. Then lets practice hard!

Thank you for helping me.

Dont mention it.

Seo-jun and Eui-seok laughed heartily.

Meanwhile, in one corner of the practice room, Yoon Seong-oh sighed secretly in the resting area. 

Anh Da Ho lifted his head.

Are you worried?

Yes. Seo-jun and Eui-seok hyung have a perfect two-shot. It will be hard for the public to forget. They might feel out of place if they appear in this movie.

Anh Da Ho nodded. It was a natural concern for any actor. If they appeared in the same movie and their image stuck, they would have to avoid each other when they appeared in another movie.

When they were lovers in the previous work and became a criminal and a victim in the next work, the audiences feelings were subtle.

In that respect, Seo-jun changes perfectly.

Seong-nyeong was Seong-nyeong, Gray was Gray, and Jin was Jin.

No matter how much they hit the box office and watched it several times, even if the image was deeply engraved in their brains, the audience welcomed Seo-juns new character without any influence. There was no actor who changed everything according to the role like Seo-jun.

A thousand faces.

Actor Lee Seo-jun seemed to have a thousand faces and atmospheres.

How will it be this time?

Seo-jun was bound to become Danjong. Would Eui-seok, who acted with Danjong, look like Heo Ui-gwan or Grand Prince Suyang?

Yoon Seong-oh looked at the two actors who started practicing with a worried look, and Anh Da Ho looked at them with curiosity.

***

The lead and supporting actors began to be cast one by one. 

The companies that invested in the movie Danjong also increased. 

As more movie officials increased, more mouths opened.

Finally, the article broke out. 

It was a few days before December.

[Actor Lee Seo-jun confirmed to appear in Danjong (tentative title)!]

[Actor Lee Seo-juns next work, Danjong (tentative title)!]

[The unfortunate young king, Danjong!]

[Seong-nyeong Daegun who became king, but a lonely end!]

-Seo-jun is king? Danjong?

-Is it really coming out?? It paid off to talk a lot!

-The director is Woo Jeong-han. Hell do the basics.

-After the audition video came out, there were a lot of synopses for Danjong, right?

= My friend is an aspiring movie director and he put a synopsis in Seo-juns agency. I saw it from the side and he wrote it in three days.

=I know a writer who wrote it in five days. I read it and it was bad

=Its better not to make it so roughly

-But if its director Woo Jeong-han, its okay. Hell do the basics.

= Woo Jeong-hans historical movies are good

-If Seo-jun is Danjong, who is Kim Jong-seo? Who is Grand Prince Suyang?

=Grand Prince Suyang Kim Jong-ho fits perfectly

=If it was 10 years ago, it would be perfect

=Then Kim Jong-seo?

=Kim Jong-seo is seventy years old. Kim Jong-ho is younger.

=Then Nae-sihis face is too fierce

-But Seo-juns end is always

=22 Itll be a sea of tears

***

-Seo-jun is filming Danjong.

Kim Jong-hos laughter came over the phone. Seo-jun laughed along.

Yes. Im filming with director Woo Jeong-han.

-If its director Woo, its okay. I filmed Jang Yong-young comfortably.

Kim Jong-ho told Seo-jun the story of that time.

-Usually, if there is a more cool scene, they modify it, but director Woo is the type who shoots according to the script. So it was easy to work.

I see.

-By the way, Eui-seok, what is he doing these days? He doesnt contact me.

Seo-jun laughed at Kim Jong-hos words. Eui-seok hyung was monitoring hard right next to him.

Um. Eui-seok hyung told me to keep it a secret

He said he would be embarrassed if he failed the audition, so he asked me to hide it from other people, especially uncle Jong-ho. He didnt want to lie, so Seo-jun kept his mouth shut. Kim Jong-ho didnt care about Seo-juns answer and grumbled.

-Whats his secret, that guy.

A few days later, Kim Jong-ho found out about Eui-seoks situation thanks to the exclusive article that created countless comments and articles.

[(Exclusive) Actor Eui-seok cast in Danjong (tentative title)!]

-No No What???

The netizens who were full of disbelief searched the internet hard, but the articles didnt change. Eui-seoks agency didnt release an article saying it was a mistake. And it affected the real-time search terms.
