The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 235+236

Ch 235:

"I misjudged the person."

I thought he was an easy target, but was he just putting up with it... This is why you can't underestimate the power of broadcasting. I had unconsciously judged him based on the image he projected on screen and pushed forward.

However, Kim Mi-young quietly protested. Jin Su-ho had his management pride; backing down like this...

"I know he made a significant investment, but... shouldn't he recover that much?"

This was an appeal to Jin Su-ho's ticket power. But Lee Tae-gyeom didn't back down either.

"Isn't it because it's Jin Su-ho that I'm putting up with this? Why don't you understand?"

"..."

"And do you really think he needs to recover the investment?"

Even if he were to suffer a loss, his wealth wouldn't be affected... The production staff intervened as Lee Tae-gyeom sighed, reminiscent of what Yoo Yeon-seo once said.

"Alright, both of you, please calm down."

"Director, don't act ambiguous; it's time to set a course."

There was pressure about how long they would stay back and just observe. The production staff cleared their throat loudly.

In the film industry, relationships of power are established in the initial coordination phase. Actors sometimes cast directors as weak to prevent power struggles that could arise on set.

"Ultimately, shouldn't we prioritize the investor? Director Kim, please concede."

In this movie, without a doubt, Yoo Yeon-seo was the one in power. He was the primary investor, the lead actor, and also held shares in the production company.

However, Jin Su-ho's side also had the weight of the actor's name, and his agency was the largest in the country, so they were navigating this delicate situation as well.

"Well, I suppose that's true."

At the hurried mediation of the production staff, Kim Mi-young easily gave up. She knew that it was always investor-first. She thought if she pushed a little, she could at least gain something, but instead, she only earned resentment.

Lee Tae-gyeom relaxed his body and handed over the prepared materials.

"So, you'll adjust to our schedule?"

"...Please consider it. There's an important schedule in between..."

"I can adjust for a day or two, but don't get your hopes up."

With his head heated, Lee Tae-gyeom was not easily swayed. And thus, after various discussions, the first meeting ended. As he packed up the recorder and materials, Kim Mi-young stopped him.

"Excuse me, Director."

"Yes?"

"Will you be coming to the next meeting?"

"No, I think Director Park will come instead..."

Many actors, like Jin Su-ho, have projects lined up. But Yoo Yeon-seo only slightly quenched fans' thirst with "Identity," while there were still many unrevealed schedules for fan meetings and album work.

During this time, Lee Tae-gyeom had to follow Yoo Yeon-seo's schedule as his manager.

'Should I say this?'

For a moment, he hesitated, seeing Kim Mi-young's relieved sigh, but he gathered his courage and called out to her.

"By the way, Director Kim."
