I Only Play Villains

splendid ending (4)

“Hey, Honey Jungwoo. Did you put some honey on your face? What are you shining so brightly?”

“hahahaha, if you’re jealous, you lose.”

“Really, tell me the secret to filming a drama so comfortably.”

“You have to be good at picking actors. But don’t rely too much on random box luck. No one is as lucky as I am.”

“I have no luck. I hate you. I envy you.”

“Ha ha ha, thank you.”

These days, before the end of the drama, Song Jung-woo was a half-public enemy in a good sense.

The main characters of the drama are reproducing the story in the drama in real life and attracting worldwide attention.

Scenes such as large-scale crowd scenes necessary for editing are picked up free of charge from conferences, and government-funded research institutes provide full cooperation for filming.

Picking a good picture is so easy even just sitting there.

“I feel like I ate too much raw for the real shoot, so I’m going crazy with envy. Did you finish filming now?”

“We even had an after party. Now all we have to do is relax and wait for the ratings record.”

“Does it really hit 50% viewer ratings?”

“It’s good if you can film it, and you can’t if you can’t film it. But why is viewer ratings so important now? There are a lot of people asking for copyrights here and there.”

“I heard they told me to sell the broadcasting rights in Saudi Arabia too? How much did you call?”

“I don’t know either. PD Jean will know. Still, wouldn’t you pay more than a Portuguese soccer player’s salary? What a rich country it is.”

Fellow producers were envious of Song Jeong-woo, saying that he was really comfortable filming the drama.

And he was envious of the fact that in addition to directing fees, profits were distributed as incentives.

It was a treatment that I would never have received from other production companies and broadcasting stations.

“Is it true that The King Film distributes 15% of its profits to the production team unconditionally?”

“Really, then. Oh, of course, after recovering 150% of the production cost.”

“Safety devices are secured and then shared. where is that though Then how much does a song producer get?”

“I can’t say anything yet because this ratio and the upper limit are different for each person, but anyway, it will be more than the directing fee I have received in my lifetime.”

“I envy you, I envy you. I really envy you. The King Film says there are no additional plans?”

“Well. Since this is the company that Professor Sejong Lee established for his dearest student, they won’t treat other works like this unconventionally, right?”

“It could be.”

“Why do you need to share your company’s capabilities here and there? If you believe in Jeong Seo-hoon and go all-in, you will get a big guaranteed return.”

“Well, even if I were the CEO of the company, I would run it that way. Come to think of it, Seohun Jeong is also the director, right?”

Song Jeong-woo often wondered what his life would have been like if he hadn’t cast Jeong Seo-hoon in Illegal.

There was a good thing about having thick pockets.

When dealing with a work, it is possible to sincerely focus only on the quality of the work and its box office success without any extraneous thoughts.

“If I were a song producer, I would always carry actor Jeong Seo-hoon on my back. Don’t get dirt on your precious shoes.”

“I also carry it on my back every day in my heart.”

“But that Hwang Gun-wook’s childhood Macbeth one-person play, is that really actor Jung Seo-hoon?”

Song Jeong-woo nodded coolly with an expression saying, “Now you’re asking me.”

“right. A transaction that my father filmed himself during a kindergarten talent show.”

“It wasn’t a joke. If I had gone through a child role audition or something, it would have turned around. Why didn’t you come here earlier?”

“The house is good. family of scholars. I heard that from a young age, everyone thought, of course, that I would follow in my father’s footsteps and go to MIT or Caltech.”

“They say you deserve the Nobel Prize, but will you continue to act?”

It was also the question that Song Jung-woo has been most tired of and heard a lot lately.

Broadcasters who don’t know Jung Seo-hoon well think a lot about whether he will eventually quit acting.

‘If I interacted directly, I’d be able to get those thoughts right… … .’

Fools, on the contrary!

Where should I pour out this chimney-like feeling?

“There’s one thing that PD Wu thinks is wrong.”

“What?”

“Why do you conclude that our actor Seo-Hoon Jeong’s talent as an actor is inferior to his talent as a scholar?”

“Uh, um… … .”

“A Nobel Prize? That’s great. But I think the Academy Awards are even more difficult and great than that. And if you are an actor Jeong Seo-hoon, you will feel more challenged on the difficult road than on the easy and comfortable road, and you will burn your future.”

“You two have pretty good chemistry. I also tried to sneak a poke into the ducking film with the script for my next film, but this won’t work.”

“New scripts are always welcome. Please feel free to come and bring it.”

“So unchecked and defenseless?”

“Actress Jeong Seo-hoon is not a bowl that one or two producers can monopolize. How big is your desire to act? As long as there is a good script, he is an actor I want to show a lot.”

Wu PD smiled bitterly and shook the whale.

“The drama is perfect both inside and outside the teamwork. It’s unlucky.”

“thanks.”

“Be sure to hit the damn 50% and set a record that will shine forever in cable history.”

Jung Tae-hyeon couldn’t overcome his wife’s torch, so he stopped what he was doing and returned home early. As soon as my wife saw my face, she nagged me.

“Coming home at 8:30 is saying you’re coming home early is wrong, you.”

“Since I was a doctoral student, you have known that research works day and night.”

“At the time, I didn’t know I was going to live like this for the rest of my life. Husband, daughter, son, I can’t see how they are attached to the house.”

“What about the kids?”

“Su-ryun said he would watch it with the staff, and Seo-hoon said he would watch it with the fans at school. Do you not communicate well with your son even though you are at the same school?”

“If it’s a different lab, it’s as if the borders are divided.”

“Sometimes they say science has no borders.”

Still, her expression was bright and happy.

It must be because the drama has good grades and the son appears in a brilliant and respected role.

“Today’s last episode?”

“yes. I must pass 50% today.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it have been better for me to just watch it on TV in the school lab?”

“What’s different about adding a TV? And what is the meaning of the record that the family hoards? It has meaning only when fans and the public upload it.”

I was prepared to suffer from nagging for quite some time, but fortunately the drama started.

Due to the NIS whistleblowing, secret documents are disclosed to the world, and everything about the ‘true Prometheus’ project is exposed.

-It’s too late, but I’m here to set the truth straight.

As if to ridicule the evil of the darkness that had been struggling to keep silent in the shadows, the vice director of the NIS brought everything under the sun and made it public.

-Project ‘Chamching Prometheus’ is the name of the operation to take away the research and life of Dr. Hwang Shi-ho, who passed away a long time ago, and at the same time make fun of his honor… … .’

I dared to include the word ‘true’.

It is a vicious operation named in the sense of making fun of taking away everything from the victim.

-Disclose the list of participating companies and the names of approvers. Daesung Group’s former chairman Yun Nok-soo, former keynote director Chae Won-joo… … .

The names of the participants, which are revealed one after another, give a great shock to the Republic of Korea, which was excited about the commercialization of nuclear fusion.

-However, there was also ruthless pressure from the international political arena in this collaboration between the chaebol and the National Intelligence Service. It is an ‘international energy cartel’ that leads to oil, gas, nuclear power, and renewable energy.

Agent Kim Seok-hwang (Oh Tae-woo) ran more desperately than ever to prevent any possible sniping at the vice president’s public presentation.

-It is an undeniable fact that the list of domestic conglomerates mentioned above are the perpetrators. They have committed the unforgivable sin.

However, it is also true that they received irresistible pressure and conciliation from overseas energy cartels who wanted to monopolize Dr. Hwang Shi-ho’s research.

It’s not about forgiving them.

I would like to tell you that if we do not protect Dr. Hwang Geon-wook and its fruits, we can extinguish the flame of civilization that has been achieved with difficulty.

Fellow Koreans, please help us to keep the fire that this country has been kindling with great difficulty… … .

The Blue House responded immediately.

While sending a protest to the country and organization suspected of Hwang Shi-ho’s death, the security guard for Hwang’s research team was thickly reinforced.

He also promised investigations and punishments without sanctuary for those who took part in the false Prometheus plan.

Woo Si-yeon (Lee Seo-hyeon), who was on an operation disguised as a graduate student, quietly came to Hwang Gun-wook.

-I have good news and even better news. Which one would you like to hear from?

-From the good news.

– I finally found it. Executioner who pulled the trigger. you so wanted

– Who are you?

Instead of answering, Lee Seo-yeon looked back at the TV with a smile.

On TV, a rebroadcast of the deputy director’s earnest speech, which revealed everything, was playing.

-He who criticizes with the loudest voice is the most suspicious.

-Agent Kim Seok-hwang told me to believe and wait. Did he even cheat on me?

– Better news. The incumbent director will take care of it neatly. It’s okay to trust and wait.

At that very moment, subtitles for breaking news passed under the video of the deputy director’s big revelation.

＜Breaking News! Vice President Bang Nak-pyo, found murdered at home!＞

＜Is it revenge? Was the nuclear pia cartel a real threat?

＜National Intelligence Service Director Seong-min Cho apologizes for poor counterintelligence!＞

-Finally caught the culprit. What about teachers? It’s not one or two, and it’s so big that it would be difficult to hunt.

-… … .

-Langley is ready to help at any time. I just need to receive this.

What Siyeon Woo presented was a request for citizenship.

-The moment you sign here, all of your super powers will come out to avenge you. All their businesses will be dissolved, and their banks will be out of business.

-… … .

– The United States regrets it greatly. Please come back.

Hwang Gun-wook, who had been silently staring at the documents, finally opened his mouth.

-I… … .

The scene changes, implying that time has passed again.

A huge Rolls-Royce Phantom drove down an empty, traffic-controlled road, followed by four bulletproof vehicles in front and behind.

The Rolls-Royce vehicle division leisurely passes through the front entrance of Seoul National University.

Upon entering the auditorium, hundreds of students who had been seated in advance turned around in unison.

Hwang Gun-wook looked around left and right and checked the attendance app.

-It’s the first day, but everyone showed up. The purpose of my class is simple. Discovering and nurturing great talent.

There is no such thing as giving a presentation on the first day, and if there is a lack of progress, supplementary classes are held at the end of the semester.

Not a single one of them showed a look of disappointment or boredom.

The students’ races were diverse, including yellow, black, and white. There were many different nationalities, and there were even old people with gray hair and beards.

Famous scholars from all over the world did not hesitate to sit among the undergraduate students just to listen to his lectures.

Rather, it is ironic that there are more professors from famous universities than young undergraduates.

– Nuclear fusion using deuterium and tritium has been successfully commercialized, but we still have a long way to go. Only when we succeed in nuclear fusion using light hydrogen can we truly say that humanity has reached the liberation of energy… … .

Hwang Kun-wook’s lecture began, and the students’ eyes and ears were focused.

After the fade out, the scene changes back to the campus garden.

Among the colleagues who formed the nuclear fusion dream team together, Hwang Geon-wook was also in the middle of holding a can of coffee.

-Really? You really didn’t go to America for that one reason? Nonsense.

– It seems that only the people of Seoul have no idea how great the fruit of civilization is the 2-hour quick service for Yongsan electronics.

– No matter how it is… … .

Perhaps because of the sense of camaraderie that they had walked through a difficult and complex road together for several years, their expressions toward each other were bright and pure.

-But is it really possible when we are alive?

-To cause nuclear fusion at room temperature with only light hydrogen… … I guess this is more difficult than creating the sun?

-How easy was it to commercialize laser-type nuclear fusion? I was pessimistic that it would take more than 50 years for the United States.

Hwang Gun-wook smiled brightly for the first time.

It is a brightness that can only be embraced by those who have sweetly enjoyed the completion of a long revenge for several years.

– It’s not an easy road. So, wouldn’t it be worthwhile to walk?

-Well, there’s nothing more to do, so let’s pretend we accomplished the challenge and try it.

On the campus, where bright laughter resounded, the warm sunlight continued to sink.

＜End＞

＜Thank you for watching Beautiful Campus.＞

“Why are you out there?”

“Yes. The role of a nuclear physicist who threw away his tenure at Caltech and entered Seoul National University to learn from Hwang Gun-wook. How was it, did you like my acting?”

I had nothing to do with acting, I just sat there and pretended to wait for class… … .

“But besides you, I saw more faces I knew.”

“There are my friends and professors who participated in the Japanese conference. Everyone enjoyed appearing as extras. I had fun too. It’s nice to see your face, even briefly, in your son’s drama. I’m proud of you for being a father.”

“I can’t live, testimony… … .”
