From a supporting role to a genius actor with a face, episode 281

Chapter 37. Fate and Evil, in My Hands (1)

Super Drama Awards.

A huge awards ceremony that honors all Asian dramas aired throughout the year.

Although it does not have a long history, it has established itself as the most prestigious awards ceremony in Asia, riding on the Korean Wave and powerful sponsors.

However, Kim Si-ha, who was patting Kim Yun-seo on the back, did not sound all that happy.

“It’s good news that you’ve received an invitation, but something feels off.”

“What is it?”

“You know, Taeil. There was a lot of controversy at this year’s Super Drama Awards because of the OTT-only launching works.”

Taeil let out a short groan.

Representative Ong, who was sweeping his chin, sighed softly.

“Many of the judges for the Super Drama Awards are from public broadcasting producers. It would be difficult to not have their influence.”

How to bend your arms inward.

From their perspective, there was no way that , which was launched exclusively on New Plus, would look good.

Taeil nodded his head coolly, perhaps thinking similar thoughts.

“That’s right. But this invitation must be real. Fortunately or unfortunately, our work is the only one that was launched exclusively at New Plus this year.”

If it had gone wrong without anyone knowing, you could just pretend not to know.

However, the audience response was good and public opinion was unanimous in its favor.

“There are too many eyes watching you to ignore. You should at least make a gesture…?”

Representative Ong nodded while looking at Kim Si-ha patting Kim Yun-seo on the back.

It was a welcome thing to receive an invitation, but something felt blocking my heart.

Taeil had a rough idea of ​​what it was.

“Aren’t you bothered by the fact that many of the judges are from broadcasting stations?”

“Obviously, they will take other actions. It can’t go on like this.”

“I guess so.”

Taeil smiled at Representative Ong.

“The important thing right now is that the invitation has arrived. I have more things in mind for the future.”

“All right.”

If Taeil has an idea, just follow it.

Representative Ong followed Taeil without saying anything further.

Two days passed like that.

“Is there such a case?”

Kim Si-ha frowned as she haggled with other stylists to find a tuxedo for Tae-il to wear.

When Taeil returned to the company after buying clothes to wear, the atmosphere wasn’t that good.

“…Due to the organizer’s mistake, the story was conveyed incorrectly. The invitation to this awards ceremony was a mistake. I would like to express my deepest apologies to Eun Tae-il and ask for your understanding… This is how they feed you.”

Representative Yeon, who was reading the official document titled “apology,” also let out a sigh of relief.

The organizers sent the wrong invitation.

It’s ridiculous that a top actor like Eun Tae-il, let alone an unknown celebrity, would make such a mistake.

“Is there any reason to go to such lengths?”

Representative Ong tilted his head.

If we do things this way, the authority of the awards ceremony will diminish.

The awards ceremony doesn’t have a long history…

Taeil, who was sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed, touched his chin.

“Either they never intended to invite me to the awards ceremony in the first place, or their opinions didn’t match up in the middle. It’s probably one of the two.”

Representative Yeon, who was sitting together, let out a deep sigh.

“If I hadn’t planned on inviting Taeil in the first place, I wouldn’t have even sent the invitation.”

“Is that so?”

“I looked into it with someone I know. The judges were not very fond of New Plus, but they were skeptical about excluding the work.”

Even if the award decision is postponed, they will give the opportunity.

‘Because the history is not long, it is difficult to take risks.’

The Super Drama Awards are recognized as prestigious, but have a short history.

One major accident can cause authority to crumble like a sand castle swept away by the waves.

Taeil was skeptical about whether he could take such a risk and even go back on the invitation.

“It could be the work of someone who really hates Taeil’s participation.”

“Sir, no way.”

Kim Si-ha’s eyes widened, but CEO Yeon was resolute.

“Think about it. Who is the biggest sponsor of this awards ceremony?”

“no way…….”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the name at the top of the list of sponsors.

-Seowon Group

A famous conglomerate that is so familiar to everyone that if you don’t know it, you’re called a spy.

And to those gathered here, it was familiar in another sense.

“Wonjeongju, it could be that person’s trick.”

Everyone was silent at Taeil’s words.

Seowon Group is the company that stands behind CEO Won.

When he first started his business, CEO Won started with the help of Seowon Group.

“It was the power of the sponsor that allowed me to change my invitation.”

Everyone was silent at Representative Ong’s words.

“They said that they can’t do anything about inviting OTTs, but they will only allow PDs and writers to enter.”

“This is clear discrimination. Did you publish the article?”

“You should have taken action earlier. What was the result?”

Representative Yeon shrugged, pointing at the computer.

I tried to persuade people here and there to publish the article, but public opinion was quiet as if it was all one.

“Has it even become public knowledge?…”

Representative Ong wiped his face.

If things continued like this, Taeil would suffer the humiliation of being kicked out at the door.

Everyone held their heads, but Taeil smiled.

“Sir, I told you, didn’t I?”

“Mr. Taeil? What is that…….”

“The other person is really honest. Wait, everyone, gather around.”

At Taeil’s words, everyone’s eyes turned as big as lanterns.

New Plus has been actively promoting itself through banner ads on its homepage as well as articles.

Is that why?

had a smooth start, ranking 10th on the first day.

But the problem occurred on the second day.

, which was pushed out of the top 10, did not return to the top 10 even on the third day or thereafter.

Although New Plus periodically ran advertisements and promoted the film through various media outlets, the success of was not easy.

“You’re saying we’re not going to go from episode 4 to episode 5? Huh…….”

Branch Manager Seo, who is in charge of Asia at New Plus, put down the report and let out a sigh of relief.

Given the nature of OTT, continuous viewing was important.

had high viewership numbers up until the 4th episode, which was very intense in the beginning… … .

Views plummeted after that.

They invested a crazy amount of money into the production of episode 4.

What happened after that was because the story was going up into the mountains.

“What should I do, phew.”

Contrary to Branch Manager Seo’s concerns, this launch was not covered by the media.

Just, quietly.

Even the fact that it was launched is being forgotten.

Taeil, dressed in a nice suit, was in a car parked on the side of the road.

Representative Ong cautiously asked Taeil, who was looking at the entrance of the building across the street.

“Mr. Taeil. Are you really going?”

No matter how many times I asked, Taeil’s answer did not change.

Next to Taeil was a flat card with an unfamiliar phrase written on it.

“They are also using their most powerful weapon right now. I am also using the most powerful weapon I can use.”

“Okay, I’ll stand nearby. If anything happens, I’ll run over there right away.”

Taeil got out of the car and stood at the entrance of the building across the street.

When Eun Tae-il appeared, the eyes of people passing by the building were immediately drawn to him.

‘Isn’t that Eun Tae-il?’

‘Why is Eun Tae-il here…? It’s an OTT production, so it’s an awards ceremony… ‘

‘Wow, you were denied entry to the awards ceremony?’

Eun Tae-il’s face is stiff, unlike usual.

And the flat card he was holding was enough to attract people’s attention.

In an instant, people surrounded Taeil, and Taeil shouted loudly while looking at the entrance of the building.

“We condemn the unfairness of the Super Drama Awards!”

The guards guarding the building also came running out with panicked faces.

They were at a loss when a celebrity suddenly appeared.

“Hey, if you do that here, ah, that won’t do. Mr. Eun Tae-il… If you do that here….”

“I’m keeping to the streets, I’m alone, I’m protesting alone, I’m not breaking any laws.”

“Oh, this is driving me crazy… Taeil. We’re really in big trouble.”

Taeil silently held up the placard.

-Are only terrestrial broadcasting works and OTTs objects?

Taeil raised his head.

12th floor of this building.

There was an office of the organizing committee that hosted the Super Drama Awards.

‘What are you doing? Shouldn’t you be chasing it?’

‘How do you get rid of that thing? Can’t you see the people?’

People were murmuring, and the guards were also in a difficult situation and couldn’t do anything.

There have often been cases of unknown celebrities or staff members holding one-person protests demanding improved treatment.

But it was the first time that a top actor like Eun Tae-il expressed his opinion in this way.

‘What does that say?’

‘You didn’t invite me because it’s an OTT exclusive? This is a bit much.’

‘The Super Drama Awards originally covered all Asian works. They said that they invited controversial works as well. This is not the case.’

People who were initially curious about Eun Tae-il gradually became interested in the opinions he wrote.

Eventually, a reporter appeared.

“Mr. Eun Tae-il. I’m curious as to why you decided to stage a one-man protest.”

“I don’t understand why I was excluded from the awards ceremony just because I appeared in an OTT exclusive work.”

“Are you saying that the Super Drama Awards did not invite OTT works?”

“They said that an invitation had arrived, but it was a mistake on the part of the organizers.”

It’s more frustrating when you give something and then take it away.

The reporter conducting the interview and the people listening cheered together.

Taeil looked around at the people and shouted.

“I came here thinking about the purpose of the Super Drama Awards, which is to give every work a chance. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t greedy for an award…….”

“Hahaha. If you were to receive an award, what kind of award would you want?”

“Target?”

Even though it was a protest, the atmosphere wasn’t all that heavy.

“Please keep your distance! You may end up violating the demonstration laws.”

Is that why?

A cold wind blew, but the area around Taeil was gradually becoming more crowded.

* * *

“…What are you doing?! If we keep doing this, our entire awards ceremony will be ruined?”

Same time.

Super Drama Awards Organizing Committee Office.

The organizing committee members, looking down at the people gathered around Eun Tae-il, held their heads.

“I told you to leave out the invitation to Eun Tae-il, right? Who canceled it?”

The eyes of the organizing committee chairman, who was a former film director, were fierce.

The organizing committee members just looked at each other and ignored each other.

Then one person cautiously stepped forward.

“He, Seowon Group, isn’t it still a bit premature for OTT…….”

“Would you die if your sponsor told you to?”

“Ma, is that really so?”

The man protested, but the chairman’s eyes were cold.

“…First, let’s call them inside.”

“Chairman? The Seowon Group is definitely…….”

“If you ignore that, our awards ceremony itself could be over.”

After a while.

The office door opened and Eun Tae-il came inside.
