The King of Dying Smoke Episode 173
A plan that only planners don’t know (7)
If there was a root of all evil, it was someone no one expected.
* * *
It was roughly five years ago that writer Yoo Ji-ah met actress Seo Bom.
As always, it was at the first performance of an acquaintance – although they actually insisted that they were students – and at the time, Seo Bom was a new actor who had just debuted.
And again, what can I say, he looked very nervous.
They say it’s inevitable if you’re a rookie, but it’s to the point where you wonder if it’s a bit serious.
Yoo Ji-ah hesitated and then decided to appease the new actress.
“Um, are you nervous?”
“… Yes, a little.”
“Well, I’m not an actor, so I don’t know. An actor I know well said that. “The more nervous you are, the less depth of character you can bring out.”
“… ?”
“When you can’t relax at all, it helps to think about what’s important to you. “Compared to that, people think that things like this are no big deal.”
That was great advice.
This was especially true if the person who said those words was a legendary writer.
Immediately the writer of the project said, ‘Teacher…’ ! I can’t believe you are so considerate… !’ And I started shedding tears. The PD had no choice but to follow suit.
The atmosphere became as warm as the tears of ants.
“… … .”
And Seo Bom, the person in charge, was silent for a moment.
There was a very long silence.
Then, at some point, he stood up and lowered his head.
“thank you. “It was really helpful.”
“you’re welcome. “Can you take pictures well?”
Seo Bom smiled.
It was a refreshing smile that rivaled that of the most beautiful actors Yoo Ji-ah knew.
“No, I’m going home.”
“… yes?”
… And, with that same face, he started talking bullshit.
* * *
“I have someone to marry.”
Seo Bom, who actually went home and barely finished filming after being dragged away crying by her manager, said.
It was a sad face.
“Uh, congratulations… ?”
“thank you. Anyway, my goal is to buy a small house and other things to live in with that senior. “I wanted to debut together privately if possible.”
“Well, uh, you debuted as an actor to get married…” ?”
“yes.”
“… ?”
Writer Yoo Ji-ah was engulfed in confusion.
“In the meantime, sometimes, kids come out targeting seniors. I was so worried that I lost my temper. “I’m sorry about what happened earlier.”
“Uh, that… The person who will become your husband. If you have opponents, wouldn’t you reject those people? Please trust me a little… .”
“… “Not yet, but planned.”
“yes?”
“I plan to be the opponent.”
“… … ???”
Author Yoo Ji-ah was caught up in chaos.
So doesn’t that mean there is no relationship in the end?
Are kids like this these days? I was worried because my face didn’t show any formality even after turning 30, but was it actually that I was at an age where Jiyu would make fun of me without me knowing?
How has the world changed?
“Anyone can see that he is a fool, Ji-ya…” .”
“ah… .”
There is no point in thinking about someone you cannot understand. Yoo Ji-ah forgot about Seo Bom for the next few years.
But, well, it is the law of the world that the person you avoid like that ends up meeting you at the single-wood bridge.
Seo Bom ate well, grew up well, and eventually landed her first lead role in KBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama , which was a success. And, of course, it was the work of an acquaintance of artist Yoo Ji-ah.
The two reunited there.
And, Yoo Ji-ah was able to hear about the relationship between Seo Bom and Kang Min that day.
How you met at the orphanage, what you received, what you heard, and what you felt.
And, what kind of feelings do people have there?
That was the problem.
“i know!!”
Just 30 minutes later, writer Yoo Ji-ah was tapping Seo Bom on the shoulder with tears in her eyes.
“I know, that kind of person! If this person takes a step closer to the topic of removing everything, including the liver and gallbladder, with pure good intentions, they will ask, ‘Why are you doing this?’ “I’m the type of person who takes two steps back with the same mindset, and would rather turn to a rock!!”
“Writer… .”
“Seo Bom, never back down! Even Charlotte Brontë – author of Jane Eyre – would say there’s no reason to back down! World affairs and space battleship battles are simple! “Whoever bites first wins!”
“Writer… !”
Seo Bom looked thrilled.
It was an amazing situation that, if Manager Chu Yeon-ji and others had seen it, they would have rubbed their eyes several times and thought, ‘What did I just see?’
After comforting and encouraging Seo Bom several times, the ghost writer returned with a happy expression.
… Well, whatever.
Up to this point, there wouldn’t have been any problems. Even though Seo Bom is a bit of a strange person, doesn’t every story become beautiful when wrapped up?
The problem was that the person this ghostwriter was impressed by was not just one person.
One day, she once again met a troubled actress named Jo Yoon-ah.
“You have feelings for the benefactor who helped you escape the years of obscurity, for the person you respect, and for other feelings, but you are saying that you feel so shabby that you can’t do anything about it.”
“… “Yes, author.”
“Is there that much of a difference?”
“Very much. She returned home not long ago and I went out to meet her, but she left without saying a few words. “I thought you were too busy.”
“Hmm.”
“I think it’s right to give up, but it’s not easy… .”
Unfortunately, writer Yoo Ji-ah, who raised her twin siblings on her back, was very clumsy.
It was very spacious.
The ghostwriter snorted openly.
“Why give up, just attack!”
“… yes?”
“It’s never too late to regret! After all, you don’t know what the other person is thinking! “Then isn’t it a waste to get so intimidated and give up?!”
“ah… .”
“If you look that shabby, just try your hardest! No one knows the future anyway! Why are you trying to eliminate even the slightest possibility?”
Thanks to this surprising persuasion, firearms returned to the eyes of actress Jo Yoon-ah.
She returned with gratitude over and over again, and with a nosebleed, promising to try. Of course, she returned home with the great writer even happier.
And a while later there was an even bigger meeting.
Acelyn Lewis, a famous Hollywood actress who happened to be visiting Korea, came to me for advice.
The two were also acquaintances.
The ghostwriter greeted the other person warmly.
“Wow, this is the first time since we met in Part 6 of the , right? How are you doing?!”
“… “It’s terrible.”
“W-ah… ?”
But the atmosphere was shit from the beginning.
“Writer, with the exception of Aislinn Lewis as an actress, I’m probably worthless… ?”
“That can’t be possible…” .”
“No, it can’t be! Otherwise—otherwise, how could a person be such a dull person… !!”
“… … .”
what.
Is it the season of love?
… Anyway, at this point, writer Yoo Ji-ah was obviously aware of what she had to do.
“So, are you giving up?”
“… that.”
“I can only guess how good of a person Aislin is, if she can do something like this. Let me ask you the opposite. Do you mind if I get fed up with this place and take it with me because I like someone who doesn’t know my worth?”
“… … .”
The conversation took an hour.
Aislin Lewis listened to the story blankly, nodding and turning her head several times. Her spinning eyes were lit, filled with anger and determination.
Writer Yoo Ji-ah couldn’t help but feel happy as she helped three people in succession.
There are already three people. If you do well, you might receive one or two wedding invitations within the year.
‘Maybe I’m surprisingly talented at this?’
For the new play I’ve been thinking about recently, wouldn’t it be okay if I made up my mind to choose the theme of love?
People say it’s a topic I can only deal with when I’m older, but I might be able to do it now.
“Sister, I have counseling.”
“… Could it be that it’s a man?”
“No, it’s true that you’re talking about a man, but… .”
“oh my god… !”
What season is this?
Writer Yoo Ji-ah was even moved by the fact that even her younger sister, Yoo Ji-yu, whom she raised with care, was trying to start a relationship.
No, if you think about it, it may not be a strange thing. Doesn’t the world originally move with love?
Just like the relationship between Chopin and Georges Sand, where a producer was able to pull out a piece of trash that did not even cover the basics of composition from a cabinet filled with thousands of submissions, everything in the world could not be explained except by love… .
But well,
When I explained the situation, my younger sister’s reaction was quite different from what I expected.
Yoo Ji-yu was beyond dumbfounded and scared.
“Please, sister, are you really crazy?!”
“No, Jiyu. It’s a bit crazy to say I got some dating advice… .”
“They’re all the same person?!”
“… huh?”
“Those three plus a couple of others are all talking about the same person!”
“… … ?”
“And I know Seo Bom’s personality and Aislin Lewis’ personality?! Please, sister! Seriously, is your goal to make headlines about stabbings in America?!”
A day later,
Author Yoo Ji-ah was in a hurry to buy a plane ticket to Queens, New York City, USA.
But unfortunately, at the same time, the high-ranking people involved in were busy giving a toast, completely unaware of this situation.
* * *
“Oh my god, can you believe these ratings? Even if all Asians living in the U.S. took the exam, they wouldn’t get grades like this! “You captured the public, the public!”
“That is indeed true, Mr. Wilson!”
“I was secretly dissatisfied with the fact that they cut out the useful writer Jang Wei, but I was stupid. “An actor named Kang knows showmanship better than anyone else!”
“This level of buzz in a place where there are no advertisements!”
At the time of the audition, the agency and the broadcasting station engaged in a fierce battle to win at least one chance.
But now that it was aired, people were mixing beer, brandy, and wine together and laughing as if they had forgotten everything.
In other words, that was the result.
“The ‘Jiang Wei Series’ is gaining tremendous popularity in the SNS shorts sector.”
“Yes, that’s why the live viewership ratings were so high! The number of streaming views is also impressive!”
“Didn’t the producer scream with joy? “An actor knows art!”
“I was a little worried about China’s reaction, but since Jiang Wei himself was silent, I think he concluded that he was the ugly one. “He went into a stop-loss procedure.”
“It’s perfect! Everything is perfect! ha ha ha!”
They all laughed and exchanged glasses.
This was inevitable because , which was thought to be the most boring, was a huge success.
Afterwards, there is the that everyone is waiting for along with the .
This can’t be ruined.
What kind of public in the world wouldn’t find it fun to watch famous actors participate in auditions and compete?
If Korea’s had been , it would definitely still be airing.
Everyone laughed.
“I can’t think of a chance that this won’t work out!”
“That’s right! “I don’t know what to do to make this a problem!”
“Hahaha!”
“ha ha ha!”
The night deepened with the broadcasting station director and agency representative holding hands and singing.
And, a week has passed.
Actors with different interests began to gather.
