Even so, today was a moment to deliver a final warning to the external directors. Director Kwak had already abandoned any expectations.

Nevertheless, he had a lingering hope.

Yunhee, the art director, had a desire to stay with the movie until the end, unlike anyone else.

“Representative Park Dojun contacted you?”

“Yes. He asked me for an unexpected favor, saying it was for the sake of the movie.”

Director Kwak’s gaze shifted to the USB placed on the table.

The heavy air’s flow concentrated towards Yunhee.

“What did he say?”

“GN’s Chairman Yu is trying to take away our movie.”

“Hmm.”

“At first, I didn’t believe it. Why would they try to take away a movie that’s already in production…”

“That’s true.”

“Representative Park said they would isolate Director Kwak from GN.”

“…”

“But I began to feel something was off with the directors’ atmosphere.”

“Did this happen in Jeju Island?”

Yunhee nodded, passing her hand through her flowing hair.

“One day, while resting at the lodging, the camera director secretly called the external directors.”

“…?”

“There were contacts with GN.”

The person who had contact with the camera director was Han Jintae.

He promised the directors an exclusive contract, entrusting all the movies produced by GN to them. Moreover, he threw out a large investment plan.

For directors running a small-scale production, it was an unparalleled offer.

“After that discussion, the next day when passing by the camera director’s lodging…”

The camera director was displaying a pre-edited video he had seen with Director Kwak on his laptop.

They were about to pass it off nonchalantly, but the contents of the conversation were heard.

‘Yes, Manager Han Jintae! The pre-edited video is long, so I’m rendering it with reduced capacity. I’ll send it by email when it’s done. Please talk to Chairman Yu.’

The camera director recently faced difficulties in management.

Yunhee recalled his complaints about how difficult it was for him to maintain his business.

“Everyone applauded the camera director’s story. After that, pressure started to come in a scary way.”

“How so?”

“A project we had decided to proceed with suddenly got canceled, and even the approval got delayed with various excuses.”

“Oh!”

“Suddenly, a person named Han Jintae came with some men to the office and…”

They never expected GN to go to such lengths.

In powerless external companies, it was an unwinnable fight.

“Expecting this, Representative Park Dojun asked us to collect evidence related to GN.”

“Is that in this USB?”

“Yes. It also contains footage taken in a place arranged by Chairman Yu as soon as we arrived in Jeju Island.”

Director Kwak immediately checked the USB.

With various promises, Chairman Yu encouraged Director Kwak’s movie to be produced and distributed by GN.

Not only that, but there were also recorded phone calls with Han Jintae and the content of threats.

“Director Kwak survived thanks to this, thanks to Director Yunhee.”

“Because of Representative Park Dojun’s request, I couldn’t tell Director Kwak.”

“It’s okay.”
“After that, there was another gathering hosted by Chairman Yu, but I didn’t attend.”

Yunhee temporarily closed the office.

Han Jintae persistently behaved, and his phone was in a state of reception suspension.

Director Kwak couldn’t just let it happen like this.

He decided to inform the directors and actors leading the film industry about this fact.

When Youngjae left the studio, Haeju sighed.

As she silently prayed not to see him forever, Dojun entered the waiting room.

“What did you say to make Manager Youngjae leave so willingly?”

“I played a little prank.”

Dojun changed into the clothes Manager Song provided and came out.

He also returned Luca’s camera.

“Thank you for your hard work today.”

“It’s nothing. Can we take a group photo together?”

Dojun and Haeju gladly agreed.

It would have been perfect without Youngjae, but they were satisfied with the result.

A while later, Dojun came out with Haeju and Hyunseong.

“Let’s go for a meal.”

“Can I come too?”

“Now you’re a Zino Group employee. Since Manager Song is still here, you shouldn’t go first.”

Playfully, Dojun gave a warning to Hyunseong. When Hyunseong, feeling intimidated, glanced at Manager Song, he swept his hair.

“You come with Manager Song.”

With the car key in hand, Dojun got into the car that Haeju had ridden.

The evening temperature had cooled down, and a gentle breeze blew.

“Becoming an actor is special.”

“Mr. Dojun, you were good in front of the camera.”

“Because you were by my side.”

“By the way, when will movie shooting resume?”

“Soon.”

Today, Dojun received a message from Yunhee.

She said it was becoming unbearable, and she would go to see Director Kwak.

Han Jintae was disturbing the calm movie industry.

If this incident came to light, GN would face a major disgrace.

“How about having Hanwoo beef for dinner?”

“Sounds good!”

Dojun headed to a famous Hanwoo beef restaurant.

This place, known for dealing only with the highest grade, required reservations a month in advance.
