A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 12
The van in which Kam Woo-hyeok was riding ran on the road. Unlike the manager who was driving with an urgent expression, Kam Woo-hyuk was reading the script with a relaxed expression in the back seat.

Kiik-
“Did you get wet today? Every signal gets caught.”
Manager Soondol Kim nervously took off the steering wheel.
“Soon. There is a saying that the faster you go, the faster you go. Go slow.”
“That’s… long after the time we promised with the writer.”
“Let’s go safely though.”
“yes.”

Kam Woo-hyeok’s eyes fell on the drama script <Office Battle> again.
“Hyung, is that script okay?”
“Yeah, it’s kind of fun. I also feel fearless. office martial arts.”
“Then, would you like to confirm your appearance? He’s been waiting for you too… He said he’s going in.”
“who?”
“Yoo Jeong-an. <Summer of Twenty-One>.”
“ah. ah.”
“Now, if you meet at least one work better, you will be at the top level.”
“okay?”
“If you want to be okay with your brother, decide quickly. Don’t notice.”
“Hey, who am I to notice?”
“It’s because I’m afraid that another actor will snatch it away. Rumor has it that there are more than one actor waiting for his brother to turn him down. Well, with a total production cost of 20 billion won, director Noh Un-haeng and writer Geum Sister. This is a penalty kick, but the goalkeeper is in a state of sudden shit. The goalposts are completely empty.”
“That’s true, but… ah~ but you have to get a kick out of it, but it’s a taste that draws people in!”
“What?”
“yes. It doesn’t taste like that…”
“Hyung, the person who believed in that person was sitting in the fourth column and went two times around the parade ground by number.”
“2% is not enough.”

Kam Woo-hyeok took his eyes off the script and tilted his head back to close his eyes. There was no reason to reject it, so I couldn’t understand why I didn’t say I was willing.
“It’s perfect for hyung…”
The manager sighed and entered the Forest Entertainment parking lot. Park in the actor-only parking area,
“The challenge is fun, so please wait for a long time, writer. Let’s go quickly.”
“okay.”
The two entered the lobby.
However, the inside of the company was unusually chaotic.
“what? what happened?”
Gam Woo-hyuk asked the security guard guarding the entrance to the lobby.
“A stalker entered the company. It looks like it hasn’t been caught yet.”
“A stalker? Crazy, the liver came out of the boat.”
Gam Woo-hyuk’s impression was frowned upon, but the manager’s head only had a promise with the writer.
“Brother, it’s late.”
“yes. okay.”
I had an appointment first, so I went to the elevator first.
But then, Gam Woo-hyuk caught a man in a security guard’s outfit coming out of the emergency exit.
‘Wonderful. It’s the long arms in summer, but the way he walks looking only at the ground.’
Gam Woo-hyuk’s eyes scanned the man closely.
‘I heard a stalker broke into the company, but the security guard walks with his eyes down? Even if you turn on the lights in your eyes and look for it, it’s not enough.’
Gam Woo-hyeok, who had just been discharged from the Marine Corps, activated sharply.
“Sundol, isn’t long arms weird in the summer? Right away, the security guard at the front door was wearing short sleeves.”
“It is strange. But why?”
“There is a suspicious person.”

Kam Woo-hyeok approached the man and called out to him.
“Hey, hey, hey. Uncle guard! for a moment.”
The man didn’t hear, but his steps only got faster.
‘Stalker for sure.’

Kam Woo-hyeok approached the man without hesitation.
Then the man panicked and took a knife out of his pocket.
“Don’t come, don’t come!!”
“I told you not to come, so if you weren’t going, I wouldn’t have called you from the beginning.”

Kam Woo-hyeok immediately rushed at the man. Then he twisted his wrists and bent his knees to subdue him at once.
Before the witnesses in the lobby had time to scream, the man stretched out.
***
Seeing Woo-hyeok Kam grabbing the stalker’s collar reminded me of a 16-episode mini-series I used to write.
<Right Arm Co., Ltd.>
action thriller.
The story takes place when Gil Byeong-soo, an innate motorist, joins the national secret agency, Right Arm Co., Ltd. The story goes through various situations with another secret agent, ‘Han Ji-hyeon’, and a team is created to deal with the crisis caused by the worst villain ‘Jung Joo-hak’.
From the moment I saw Kam Woo-hyeok, the thought of Gil Byeong-soo, the main character of Right Arm Co., Ltd., did not leave my head.
“Did you catch Woohyuk? Then what if I get hurt!”
“Am I hurt? Oh, no way.”
‘Gil Byung-soo’ throws down the stalker with confidence. No, Woohyuk Kam.
‘Wow, it’s powerful and cool. The more I look at it, the sicker it gets.’
His gaze was completely captivated by Gam Woo-hyuk. I have no choice but to do it because the character ‘Byeongsu Gil’ I created is moving in real life right in front of my eyes.
In the meantime, the stalker’s collar was passed into the hands of Jang Hyuk-soo.
“Oh, this guy. I know how stressed out you are. Take out your cell phone. kid.”
“Wow… here…”
The stalker trembled in fear and pulled out his phone. There seemed to be a lot of fear in the subject of unscrupulous criminals.
Everyone was distracted by the sudden situation, but there was one person who did not lose concentration on the script until the end, it was Director Oh Sang-sik.
He was more interested in me or my baccomo than the stalker.
“Then, Writer Yoon.”
“Ah yes. Director.”
“First, start with an interview with Gam Woo-hyuk, and then continue to talk about the script with us.”
“All right. That’s right.”
Director Oh Sang-sik seemed to want to finish with me no matter what happened today. Director Jang Hyuk-soo also looked at me instead of examining the stalker’s cell phone.
“I will be waiting. Author. Woo Hyuk-ah, I enjoy the challenge this person has come to interview you today. Writer Yoon Jae-ho.”
“yes. We were a little late. I’m sorry. Shall we go talk then?”
“Is that so?”
He moved to the break room with Gam Woo-hyuk.
***
Perhaps because he had just been discharged from the Marine Corps, Gam Woo-hyuk had a wild and wild beauty. Would you say it’s like rough sandpaper? His voice was thick and hoarse like a man.
The more I looked at it, the more ‘sick’ it was.
“Writer? What do you think so deeply?”
Oops. example like this.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I mistook Gam Woo-hyuk, who was sitting in front of me, for the person on the screen. I sat and watched without saying anything…
“Ah, sorry. My head is in a mess because of something that happened a while ago.”
He took a seat and quickly made an excuse.
“Oh, yes. So, shall we reschedule the interview for another day? You must have been very surprised.”
“No, no. Now it’s fine. You gave me your precious time, but I shouldn’t bother you with this.”
I changed the topic naturally by waving my hand.
“But how did you come up with the idea of catching a stalker? Aren’t you scared?”
“Child, what? The body reacts first rather than the head. Papapak”
He made a sound with his mouth and threw his arms into the air. Thick tendons and strong muscles moved brilliantly.
‘what! You have the same personality as Byeongsu.’
That figure was really the ‘Byungsu’ that I drew. As much as I want this actor to read Right Arm Co., Ltd. and act in front of me.
Shining muscles could not help but praise.
“I have a slim body and I don’t have any fat. Are you working out?”
“yes. If you skip even one day of exercise, you immediately feel your body rusting. I do not miss a day of strength training and jogging.”
Then he lifted his upper garment and slammed his abs.
“Wow.”
The so-called washboard abs.
It wasn’t that he was ignorant, but his fine muscles were smooth.
‘Huh, our junior writers are going to go crazy. My head is going crazy, and they can’t stand it.’
He seemed to understand why PD Na Il-young wanted to cast Gam Woo-hyuk.
First of all, I courageously opened my mouth because it seemed like the first thing to do was to get the job done.
“The concept for this shoot is a chase, but in my opinion, it goes well with Gam Woo-hyuk. I would really appreciate it if you could attend. please.”
How well will the chase and Gam Woo-hyuk go together? How happy the viewers will be when those wonderful muscles are properly exposed. He earnestly expressed how helpful those images would be in his future work.
Gam Woo-hyuk did not listen to me in vain, but listened with his ears pricked up.
I really liked that attitude, and I almost said that I should take on the role of ‘Byung-soo’ in <Right Arm Co., Ltd.>. I barely covered my mouth with great patience…
It’s such a good atmosphere
Suddenly, Gam Woo-hyuk’s eyes seemed to leak to the side.
“Ah, writer. Wait.”
After uttering these words, he got up and walked to the edge of the break room.
My eyes naturally followed his path, where there was a female employee struggling to put 20 liters of bottled water into the water dispenser.
“Come here, please.”
“Oh, no. I will do it.”
“If you lift it up like that, your back will go out.”
Gam Woo-hyuk said so, turning 20 liters of bottled water upside down and inserting it lightly.
“thank you.”
“no. It was because I was thirsty.”
The female employee’s eyes were already filled with hearts, but Gam Woo-hyuk drew a glass of bottled water and drank it as if trying to prove his point.
‘Kyaa~~ It’s a zodiac explosion.’
The more I looked at it, the more it was ‘Byungsoo’, the main character of <Right Arm Co., Ltd.>.
Overall, it smells like macho, but even the tsundere that pops out out of nowhere!
After drinking all the water, Kam Woo-hyeok returned to his interview seat and sat down.
“sorry. What did you say earlier?”
“Challenge is fun, so I want you to come out by all means. please.”
I leaned forward and begged earnestly. Whether it’s entertainment or whatever, I had to keep connecting with actor Kam Woo-hyuk.
“yes. I’ll go out. I think it would be interesting to hear what the author said. Challenges are fun and he is my favorite pro.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Gam Woo-hyuk was as cool in his words as his actions. Without burning the soy sauce, I immediately blew OK.
“What can I do there?”
“You just have to play and have fun with the members. There is nothing difficult about Gam Woo-hyuk.”
“Is that really all there is?”
“yes. outside of that.”
I might ride a tricycle, but I don’t really need to say anything like that here…there’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future…
Things are getting better, so I thought I might ask a question of self-interest. Because I was really curious how much the synchro rate with ‘Gil Byung-soo’ would be.
“Did you ever learn special martial arts?”
Yes, I learned ‘Byungsu’.
“I learned invincibility in the military. Because it was a Marine Corps reconnaissance unit. It is a practical martial art that quickly subdues enemies in close proximity.”
As expected, Kam Woo-hyuk did not disappoint me.
“You should have seen Woo-hyuk catch a stalker a while ago. It was awesome.”
The manager, who hadn’t said a word before, suddenly interrupted. He smiled heartily as if he was proud of his actor Kam Woo-hyuk.Read at NovelNext.com
Kam Woo-hyeok seemed to be in a good mood too, so he jumped up and took a stance.
“Can I show you a demonstration? I can show you how to bend your back right now.”
“no. I am not married yet.”
When I politely refused, Kam Woo-hyeok and the manager laughed awkwardly.
hahaha
ha ha ha
I laughed along too.
And at the end of laughter, naturally, he asked as if nothing had happened.
“hahaha. By any chance, don’t you go to work?”
“I have a work I’m looking at right now. I’ll probably do it almost. hahaha.”
“Oh, is it? hahaha.”
Ah, the second project should also move quickly.
***
When I returned to the conference room after the interview, Director Jang Hyuk-soo and Director Oh Sang-sik were sitting side by side and waiting for me.
“I read the script again during the interview with the writer, and it was the script we were looking for. That’s why you sign a contract right away without wasting time. As a Chuseok special drama, it has already been broadcast on PBS, so the conditions are not bad.”
Manager Jang Hyuk-soo broke all the cards in the first game. It means you don’t want to waste that much time.
“Are you saying that production will begin as soon as I sign a contract here?”
“yes. Yes. Once cast, we should be able to start filming in three weeks at the latest.”
There was absolutely no reason not to sign a contract. This is because everything from production to organization is guaranteed.
In addition, director Oh Sang-sik, whom I usually like, will be in charge of directing, and I can also build up an intangible asset called entry.
Thank you for this.
“We will write a separate contract, and first we will proceed with an oral contract.”
“yes.”
Director Jang Hyuk-soo took out the recorder and pressed the record button.
“I think the fee for each manuscript is 600. There are individual differences, but for a new writer, this is probably the best treatment in the industry.”
“Six hundred?”
“Yes, if you do all three episodes, it’s 18 million won. And in case any rebroadcast usage fee, overseas distribution rights, OTT usage fee, etc. are all additionally paid. That part is to be specifically coordinated when writing the contract.”
Usually, the fee for a rookie manuscript is 300 to 500.
To call six hundred, these people are sincere!
“good. I will make a contract.”
“thank you.”
Jang Hyuk-soo, head of the department, burst into laughter and signed a handshake.
“Director Oh is in charge of directing, right?”
I confirmed it again by shaking hands with director Oh Sang-shik.
“Sure. And don’t be surprised, writer.”
“yes?”
“While the writer was interviewing us, we decided on the perfect actor for the role of ‘Chaerin’. If you listen to it, you will be surprised at the top level.”
“yes? Have you decided on the role of Chaerin? Who… who is it?”
Contrary to Director Oh’s intention, I was surprised.
The role of Chaerin has been decided. Chaerin is Ji So-young!
“Honestly, it is difficult to recruit an actor who is at the level of a Chuseok special drama. But with Forest, it is possible.”
Director Sang-shik Oh passed the baton to Hyuk-soo Jang. As if to ask you to close your eyes on the rudeness from earlier.
“This is Min Yuri. Isn’t that fantastic!”
Mi…Min Yuri? Are you Min Yuri? No… no. My Chaerin is Ji So-young.
The two of them gave me a surprise and smiled happily. But my impression was only crumpled.
“hahaha, maybe Yuri will like it when she sees the writer’s script.”
“Two words nagging. Min Yu-ri’s eye for reading the script is accurate.”
no!! My Chaerin is Ji So-young.
