The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 32:

-Park Ji-hye is doomed except for plagiarism, right?

-A summary of the plagiarism suspicion of the terrible youth

-I thought it was well-built sub-story, but it was plagiarism lol

-Is Onaju also plagiarism?

-Humanly speaking, isn’t it conscienceless to shield that it’s not plagiarism of the terrible youth?

There may be similarities, but the plot, dialogue, setting, direction, and episode are all the same. How is this not plagiarism? This writer also plagiarized in his previous work.

└Park Ji-hye and Hwang Mi-jung should be sued for plagiarism.

└└Add Kim Ok-sun here.

└└└Add Park Ji-hwan too.

‘There’s a lot of talk about plagiarism.’

It wasn’t because the work was doing well and they wanted to criticize it, but there was concrete evidence of plagiarism. The drama mentioned was one that I enjoyed watching even in 2207, but I thought it was similar to something else, but it was plagiarism.

But these controversies are ultimately netizens’ opinions. There is a low chance of a boycott movement happening, and there have been cases where the plagiarism controversy of a famous writer with a famous actor attached to it rather ridiculed the victim.

‘The broadcaster also has money invested, so they’ll push it through…’

Why do they keep using these people in the first place? The production company and the broadcaster are also problematic, aren’t they? It’s not like there are no writers. Is it because of their experience? How will the people without experience live in sorrow?

“Hyung, it’s time.”

Yu Yeon Seo put his phone in his inner pocket. He had a plan to make a scene, but he had to think about the specifics after filming.

“You just have to sit here and say your lines.”

“Yes.”

Yu Yeon Seo followed the staff’s guidance and sat on a chair, crossed his legs, and put his hands on his knees. The lines he had to memorize were not difficult. He didn’t know who the writer was, but the arrogant and nasty character was exactly like himself. So he decided to act as if this nameless role was his parallel world self.

“His face is really a devil’s talent…”

A staff member who was watching Yu Yeon Seo through the camera muttered. No one answered, but they agreed inwardly.

Of course, it was only ‘appearance’. Everyone knew what kind of acting he had done so far, so they had no expectations for his acting.

“I hope it’s not a textbook reading…”

Director Lee Young-jin earnestly muttered. Yu Yeon Seo’s part was small, but he played an important role in catching the culprit.

Even if Park Min-woo praised his acting improvement, it might be a lip service based on his friendship. He didn’t even go to the filming of ‘White Tiger’…

“Let’s go, action.”

The camera slowly moved up from Yu Yeon Seo’s feet, and then he said his lines. The director prayed inwardly. Just do it decently, just don’t stand out from the drama…

“My time is expensive… Our detective, you must have a lot of money?”

Huh?

The director stared at Yu Yeon Seo on the monitor screen. The usual stiff textbook reading was gone and he was acting with a stable tone. That Yu Yeon Seo!

“So, what are you curious about?”

Yu Yeon Seo smirked annoyingly and stared at Park Min-woo on the monitor.

“On the morning of the 17th, you were with Mr. Baek Tae-hyun at the H club in Gangnam, right?”

As soon as the director gave the action sign, Park Min-woo turned into a detective and started to interrogate Yu Yeon Seo in a low voice.

“Well, I was.”

Yu Yeon Seo tapped his knee twice with his index finger. It was not in the script. But he knew that Baek Tae-hyun was related to the crime, and he was nervous that he might get burned, so it was a behavior that came out of that.

‘Huh, did he intend that?’

The director couldn’t miss that detail.

“Until what time were you with him?”

“I don’t know… Maybe around three o’clock? But how much do you get paid for doing this, detective? Do you get 5 million won?”

Yu Yeon Seo rolled his eyes wickedly. He brought up the detective’s salary on purpose because he didn’t want to talk about this. It was a kind of defense mechanism.

Park Min-woo’s expression hardened. He hated people who were so evasive. He took out an SD card from his aviator jacket pocket and held it in front of Yu Yeon Seo’s eyes.

“We secured the black box of a car parked near the scene.”

“…”

“Aren’t you curious what’s on the video?”

There was nothing in it. But it was enough to distract Yu Yeon Seo’s mind.

“I have nothing more to say.”

“Mr. Baek Tae-hyun pointed you out as the suspect of that day, don’t you have anything to say?”

This bastard? How dare he push me as the culprit? Yu Yeon Seo sneered.

He clenched his face muscles on the side of his dimple and the camera that zoomed in on his face caught it.

“I said I have nothing more to say.”

Yu Yeon Seo, who had been leaning back on the backrest, hardened his expression and glared at Park Min-woo. Yu Yeon Seo’s presence exploded here.

“Wow, what is this?”

“Hey, it’s similar to his personality, but still, his voice itself has changed, right?”

“Even if it’s similar, his pronunciation is very clear, right?”

The people who were watching murmured. The director opened his mouth in astonishment. He just called him to make some noise because he hadn’t been on the screen for a long time, but he unexpectedly hit the jackpot.

‘What will happen when this airs?’

***

“Huh, is that Yu Yeon Seo?”

“What? Oh, Hurricane… You didn’t see it? My mom was watching it because Yu Yeon Seo was on it.”

Jung Da-hee, who was working part-time to earn living expenses, raised her head at the sound of the customers’ conversation. The rerun of ‘Hurricane’ was airing on the TV on the wall.

“Oh, it’s not a textbook reading?”

“What, you said you don’t watch dramas much.”

“It’s Yu Yeon Seo.”

Yu Yeon Seo, who caused all kinds of issues, became a proper noun. His popularity and interest among the public surpassed that of top actors.

(You, did you call me?)

(Tae-hyun… I really wanted to keep my loyalty, but that detective was so scary that I just… I’m sorry. How many years have we been friends, I’ll definitely visit you!)

In the end, Yu Yeon Seo in ‘Hurricane’ betrayed Baek Tae-hyun and spilled everything. Baek Tae-hyun threw his phone away in anger before being handcuffed.

“Wow, he’s really good at making me angry?”

“I thought he wasn’t Yu Yeon Seo at first.”

Yu Yeon Seo’s appearance scene ended and the scene where Baek Tae-hyun was interrogated at the police station came out, but the customers took their eyes off the TV and focused on eating again.

‘What, he’s really good.’

Jung Da-hee, who was wiping the table, stared blankly at the TV screen. Was he always that good? No.

She remembered the time when she went to see Yu Yeon Seo last year.

[Why don’t you write one more line of synopsis instead of doing this? The script is done.]

She went to him with the hope of grabbing a straw, but she was also rejected by Yu Yeon Seo, who was the hope of the rookie, and now she almost gave up on her dream of becoming a writer.

‘I should have just accepted the offer of assistant writer.’

Then she wouldn’t be here, but she could at least see the filming site…

He had three scripts tied to the broadcasting station and the production company by winning the contest. But none of them were successfully adapted into a video.

[This is good, let’s do it together.]

[Really?!]

[But you know that the writer’s name value is low, right? Because you’re a rookie. So… How about joining Hwang Mi-jung’s team?]

[What? Then… I’m not the main writer?]

[That’s how this industry works. Who would invest in a rookie writer’s script? Let’s start as an assistant of a famous writer and build up your filmography. I think Hwang writer can spice up this work, don’t you?]

He received a positive response from a production company, but the result was different from what Jung Da-hee had expected.

In the end, he refused after much deliberation, but he was not in a good mood. Anyway, he had to build up his career as an assistant writer to do his own work…

‘No, it’s better this way.’

He wasn’t a ghostwriter, it was his work, how could he hand it over and go in as an assistant?

Jung Da-hee tried to think of something else and picked up his phone.

-Did anyone watch Hurricane? How was Yu Yeon Seo’s special appearance?

I was working and couldn’t watch it.

└He was really good lol

└His acting improved.

-He was honestly very impressive in that scene lol

-I thought Yu Yeon Seo would ruin the atmosphere, but he was good.

-Is everyone talking about Yu Yeon Seo everywhere lol Is he that good?

└He’s good. He seems to have awakened?

└Yu Yeon Seo’s fans are excited lol It’s not acting, it’s his real self lol

└No, he doesn’t read textbooks?

└└Really?

He had a great performance in ‘White Tiger’, but it was only a rumor on the internet and there was no result since the release date was far away.

So the only thing he could see of Yu Yeon Seo’s acting after the accident was the brief appearance in ‘Hurricane’. The atmosphere was clearly different from the previous drama ‘Our Moment’, and the public opinion was mostly favorable.

Yu Yeon Seo, ‘Hurricane’ special appearance achieved the highest rating

Yu Yeon Seo’s fashion analysis in ‘Hurricane’… His watch alone is worth a foreign car

Even with a brief special appearance, his popularity was no joke. Jung Da-hee looked at the articles with a gloomy face.

Yu Yeon Seo, confirmed to be offered Hwang Mi-jung’s new work ‘Virtual Reality’ (official)

After the movie, now it’s a drama… Yu Yeon Seo’s side “We are positively considering Hwang Mi-jung’s new work”

“What?”

‘Virtual Reality’ is a fantasy drama that tells the story of a virtual reality solver who struggles to get a VIP out of the virtual world. It is the next work of Hwang Mi-jung, who is currently enjoying the highest popularity, and has been attracting attention from the production stage.

He had seen this setting somewhere. He rolled his eyes quickly and read and reread the synopsis in the article. This, this can’t be…

‘What is this? What happened?’

His work was stolen.

***

“You’re doing it, so it’s almost a high pass, right? We got the schedule.”

“Really? As expected…”

He was the best in the background. Yu Yeon Seo chuckled and threw Hwang Mi-jung’s script on the desk.

“But are you really going to do it? Oh, I’m a bit uneasy.”

Lee Tae-gyeom scratched his back of his head and looked at the script as if it was something ominous.

“I thought of something fun.”

“What is it?”

Unlike Lee Tae-gyeom, Im Seung-hyun was reliable. He already had a rough idea of Yu Yeon Seo’s plan and actively did what he asked him to do.

Lee Tae-gyeom didn’t know anything and stomped his feet.

“Can’t I know too? Can’t I, hyung? What’s so fun?”

“Hmm… A nice bullying?”

He had already received the production and scheduling, and when the public’s interest was high, around the time when three or four episodes were aired… He would disappear. Completely.

He would make a new history of drama with the run of the lead actor. Naturally, the work would collapse, and the broadcasting station that accepted the plagiarized work would be embarrassed.

What if they sue him for breach of contract later? Him? How can they sue him?

‘If you want to make me your enemy, go ahead.’

He wished the filming would start soon. Yu Yeon Seo laughed out loud.
