3. Opportunities come by chance

Five months have passed since I took the Blood Palace.

As usual, Kyu-ha finished shaping approximately 65 cows, changed clothes in the dressing room, and checked her phone.

– 5 missed calls

There was a missed call somewhere, so I called and a strange woman answered the phone.

“hello? I called because there was a missed call.”

“ah! Are you Mr. Song Gyu-ha?”

“Yes, but who are you?”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Han Jeong-hee, the team leader of Stellar Entertainment’s 4th Actor Team.”

“nice to meet you. But why did you call me?”

“I’m sorry you’re busy, but could you give me a minute? I have something to tell you.”

Stellar Entertainment

It is a company that specializes in managing actors and is a well-known company in the film and drama industry.

The founder, CEO Han Jeong-cheol, has selected and nurtured only a few elite actors under the vision that “one artist is better than 100 scarecrows.”

As a result, there were only about 10 actors who belonged to Stellar Entertainment and acted.

However, most of them were actors whose acting skills were guaranteed in the industry, and were drawing their own filmography while constantly working in works.

Most of them started at Stellar Entertainment and succeeded as actors, and in various media interviews, they revealed that they would stay with the agency until the end, indirectly showing how strong the bond between the actor and the agency was.

As a result, being selected by Stellar Entertainment was no different from being recognized as an actor with potential.

Director Han Jeong-hee was the only daughter of CEO Han Jeong-cheol, and at the same time, he was also the team leader of the 4 actors. She entered the industry with a strong will to continue her father’s work, and was a person with passion and love for the entertainment industry more than anyone else in her 10th year.

One day, Chief Han Jeong-hee stopped by director Kim Yeong-chul’s ‘Blood Palace’, where Park Jong-gyu, a senior actor from the 4th actor team, was filming, to have coffee, and naturally took a look around the filming site.

Then, I happened to see the torture scene of an assassin and saw Song Kyu-ha for the first time.

The impression she saw of Song Gyu-ha before the shooting started was that he was tall, but the image was plain and plain, so it didn’t catch my eye.

However, as soon as the filming began, Kyu-ha’s eyes suddenly changed and she felt a thrill that made her hair stand on end at the terrifyingly natural and brutal acting.

“Mi… crazy…! How can a person be like that…?”

Due to the nature of my job, I have met a lot of actors who would be sad if acting was second, but it was the first time I felt this way.

“It’s not acting, it’s just like becoming a different person.”

Han Jeong-hee was lost in her own thoughts, and ran to assistant director Yang Gu-cheol in a hurry.

“Hey, Director Yang! Can you tell me where the actor who played the role of Su-chil earlier belongs?”

“”Song Kyu-ha? He’s not an actor. He came to help for a while because it was meant to be. hahahaha, we’re also bewildered because we don’t know that Kyu-ha will treat you that well.”

Han Jeong-hee, who was once again surprised by the fact that Kyu-ha was not a professional actor, returned to the company.

“What am I obsessed with… Ey! Let’s do well in what we are doing!”

However, even after a week and a month passed, the acting and eyes that Kyu-ha showed were not forgotten in Han Jeong-hee’s head, and the thought of catching him did not leave her head.

In the end, Han Jeong-hee finds Han Jeong-cheol, the representative.

“I have something to tell you, boss. Are you okay for a minute?”

“Yes, Jeonghee. It must be something important to talk about here, not at home.”

Han Jung-hee talked about meeting Kyu-ha at the filming site of ‘Blood’s Palace’ and spoke to Han Jeong-cheol with eyes full of confidence.

“That’s why I think we should catch Song Gyu-ha in advance. He definitely has great potential.”

Han Jeong-cheol, who had been silently listening to Han Jeong-hee with an expression that did not know what he was thinking, looked at Han Jeong-hee for three seconds without saying anything, then smiled and talked.

“It’s Jeonghee. You know how our Stella grew up, right?”

“of course. You started with Uncle Shim Cheol-min, the oldest actor in our company.”

Actor Shim Chul-min is now called a national actor, and he and CEO Han Jeong-cheol started together from the bottom.

“When I first saw Cheol-min, he was a minor among minor roles without a proper name.”

“But even for such a small role, I worked so hard that even the director got tired of it later.”

“That’s when I got the feeling. This guy will definitely succeed as an actor someday. I want to grow my dream with this friend.”

“And it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that my decision at that time made Stellar Entertainment what it is today.”

Han Jeong-cheol, who calmly told his old story, looked at Han Jeong-hee and talked.

“In the end, all success or failure of people who do this work depends on how they see people. Jeong-hee If you feel something when you see that friend, then try to grow him properly as an actor. That’s the direction Stellar Entertainment should go.”

Han Jeong-hee, who left the representative office, went back to her seat and began to search for Song Kyu-ha’s contact information that she had stuffed into the file folder.

Han Jeong-hee’s heart started beating again with excitement after a long time.

Kyu-ha and Han Jeong-hee exchanged greetings in a cafe that boasts a relatively private space with partitions at each table, and Han Jeong-hee gives Kyu-ha a business card.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Han Jeong-hee, the team leader of Stellar Entertainment’s 4 actors team.”

“nice to meet you. I ask you to sing. But how did you find me?”

“To be honest, Stellar Entertainment would like to be with Song Kyu-ha.”

I expected it to some extent, but the sudden main topic made Gyuha think.

“Sorry, but I am not an actor. I never really learned how to act.”

“I know you have other things to do. However, I am the one who saw Kyu-ha’s acting on the set of Bloodstained Palace, and as someone who works in the entertainment industry, I don’t want to miss Kyu-ha.”

Han Jeong-hee spoke to Kyu-ha with the utmost sincerity.

“Kyu-ha clearly has charm and potential as an actor. The release of Archery of the Blood Sea is just over a month away, and word of mouth about Kyuha will circulate in the film industry after the release. That’s how impressive the acting in the Bloody Palace was. I’m trying to catch Kyuha before she becomes more famous.”

Kyu-ha thought for a moment.

This woman is so sincere.

The woman in front of me accidentally sees her performance and sincerely wants herself as an actress.

Gyu-ha, who has lived a lot of life through dreams, could tell to some extent whether he was sincere or not just by looking into his eyes.

And at the same time, I developed an interest in acting.

It was a really short two shoots, but I fully felt the charm of acting.

“Then let’s think about it a little more.”

“I will send you the contents of your contract separately, so please review it and contact me at any time.”

After meeting team leader Han Jeong-hee, Kyu-ha also had many thoughts.

What is the goal of your life while living as Gyuha Song..?

Objectively, his life was on the unfortunate side.

Becoming an orphan due to an accident of his parents, he saw all kinds of hardships and dirty things, and above all, he had no ability to empathize with the feelings of others. Perhaps, had the test been done properly as a child, it would have come close to diagnosing a psychopath.

Gyu-ha herself knew that if it weren’t for the dreams that came to her, she would be in a big mess by now.

I just lived my life as it was, but I didn’t live with a certain goal, and through this opportunity, I seriously thought about what I really wanted to do.

Suddenly, I remembered what the chief monk had told me.

“Kyuha, happiness isn’t something someone brings you, it’s something you create for yourself.”

Kyuha thought.

I don’t know if it’s correct or not, so I’ll try it first

***

Exactly one week later, I contacted Han Jeong-hee.

“I want to try it properly. I wish you well.”

So, Kyu-Ha went to the Stellar Entertainment building and signed an exclusive contract with very good conditions for a new actor.

That time was 15 days before the opening of ‘The Palace of the Blood’.

***

After signing with Stella Entertainment, I was busy with other things.

I announced my resignation to CEO Seol Woo-don, who had taken good care of me, and my colleagues at work, and everyone was very sorry that Kyu-ha was leaving, but on the other hand, they sincerely congratulated the young Kyu-ha on his future and even held a big farewell ceremony.

Palace of the Blood Sea Opening Day

Two male actors, Song In-ho and Ku Min-seop, who are gaining popularity as young actors, play the roles of Imhae-gun Lee Jin and Gwanghae-gun Divorce, respectively, and ‘Blood’s Palace’, which became an issue, was finally released.

After the premiere of the film, it received favorable reviews from critics and film blogs for its insane acting skills and breath-taking development.

Did you say that the most effective marketing for a movie is word of mouth?

Many memes and reviews were formed on various SNS and You Tube, and the box office success of ‘Blood’s Palace’ was terrifying, and the cumulative number of viewers exceeded 4 million in 18 days.

When a related article appeared, there were many reviews, and I could see the uninteresting comments there.

ㄴ and Blood Palace’s Crazy John Jam, Song In-ho and Gu Min-ho’s acting is amazing.

ㄴ Those are originally kids who believe and watch hahahaha But who was the person who played the assassin? I’m seeing it for the first time

ㄴ It’s the first time I’ve seen it lol But I’m really scared. I saw it at the cinema, and it made me sweat

ㄴ The scene where letters are carved with a knife on the backboard is so cruel, but it also seems like something trickier? I’m sorry for dying so soon.

As the movie became a box office success, Kyu-ha’s existence began to be mentioned by the public little by little.

Stellar Entertainment Breakout Room

Inside the conference room, team leader Han Jeong-hee and Kyu-ha were having a serious conversation.

“As expected, my intuition was right! With the success of ‘The Palace of Blood’, more and more people are curious about Kyu-ha.”

“I was surprised too. I don’t think it’s been 5 minutes…”

“It means that Kyuha’s acting had an impact. Thanks to that, Kyuha sent me a scenario. Would you like to see it?”

Han Jeong-hee, team leader, put a scenario on the desk.

[In the name of the devil]

“Anyway, I came in as a villain because of my role in the Palace of Blood. You will have to audition separately.”

“Then I will read it first and then I will tell you.”

“Yes, read everything and then contact me.”

After returning home with the scenario book on the table, Gyu-ha simply washed up and began reading through the received scenario.

“Hmm…..”

If the role of Soo-chil in ‘The Palace of Blood’ was a cold-blooded murderer, the role he entered this time was truly a mad murderer.

After a long time, Kyuha’s heart began to pound.
