NOVPUBThe shadow of faith (1)
< Jinhee>, which started in second place at the box office, gradually gained popularity through word of mouth and steadily increased its audience. As the movie spread, Han Yu-il’s stage greeting also became popular.
It started with a stage greeting on the first day of release.
‘He’ stage greeting on the first day of release. HM went through intense ticket sales for that day. And he succeeded in taking a seat in the aisle during his first stage greeting.
The stage greetings are over on average in 10 minutes, and at the most 20 minutes. Delivering gifts in such a short period of time was not that easy. Therefore, HM was fully prepared.
“Now, let’s take director Won Hee-soo, actors Seo Hyun-joo, and Han Yu-il~”
However, the moment the stage greetings began.
To be precise, the moment Han Yu-il appeared in front of the stage, all the simulations that HM had worked so hard to do went to waste.
I wasn’t just fascinated by him because he was handsome.
I already knew he was handsome, but there was something strange about him.
I already saw the movie in the trailer, so I knew that the image had changed. It wasn’t just a feeling of maturity.
‘Huh, what is it... the atmosphere...’
HM, who was admiring Yoo Il’s face with a blank expression, finally came to his senses when the gift drawing was held.
‘This is not the time.’
The hands that were holding the headband and bouquet of flowers were sweaty.
What matters is timing. And HM had a knack forged from many years of being an idol.
But the moment I made eye contact with Han Yu-il right in front of me.
There was nothing left in HM’s mind.
– This, this... this.
A feeble voice that one could not believe came from one’s own mouth came out.
‘ruined.’
However, instead of passing HM by, Yuil Han smiled softly.
“Oh, thank you.”
Then I took the headband from HM’s hand.
And he even put on a headband himself.
HM thought while taking pictures of Han Yu-il with the camera he brought with him.
‘···Unmanned, catch whatever comes your way.’
And that day, HM posted a video on Han Yu-il’s Deokjil account.

┗ [@yu_uull Teacher.. Are you a genius.. How did you think of putting a Dangdang Kongju headband on Yul]】
‘It was this person.’
Yuil, who was watching the reactions on social media through the window that Bwin had opened, quickly looked away when the video of himself wearing a headband began to move.
After doing several stage greetings, I gradually started to get used to interacting face-to-face with fans. More than anything else, I felt grateful.
···It was still difficult to see myself playing ball heart.
Meanwhile, < Jinhee> was already past its third week of release.
– Movie ‘Jinhee’ surpasses break-even point
– Movie ‘Jinhee’ exceeds 2 million viewers on the 10th day of its release
– Won Hee-soo’s new film ‘Jinhee’ sold 2.5 million in 14 days of release.
– ‘Jinhee’ slow but steady progress... Won Heesu’s one shot worked
Despite being a genre that is unfavorable to box office success as a period drama with deep melodrama, < Jinhee> succeeded at the box office through word of mouth.
– [Today’s movie] Jinhee’s in-depth review! All you need is this video
– [Kim Do-yoon’s Film Note] Jin-hee, Ki-won, and Pygmalion in ‘Bleach’
OTube movie channels that focused on analyzing < Jinhee> also began to gain great popularity.
Memes related to the movie are popping up on the Internet every day.
– Every time I take a test, my mind... feels like it’s been bleached...
This was a result that even the production company, Oh Film, did not expect.

“···yes. thank you “I know that.”
Jaehyun Jang hung up the phone with a faint smile.
Just a few days ago, < Jinhee> won the Best Picture Award at the Association of Film Critics Awards hosted by the Association of Korean Film Critics. This implied that < Jinhee> would represent Korea at the American Academy Awards.
‘···Of course, it will be difficult to win the award this time.’
Jang Jae-hyun, who was monitoring on the Internet, nodded slowly and leaned back in his chair.
He also didn’t expect such a good outcome.
It was no exaggeration to say that most of it was created by Han Yu-il. Not only was he good at acting, but he was also an actor with a unique eye for choosing projects.
‘but···’
One thing that is unfortunate is that Han Yu-il... never rests.
Even though his actor was busy with his promotional schedule and school assignments, Han Yu-il did not give up his desire for his next film.
“Can I come in, sir?”
Jang Jae-hyun looked at Han Yu-il, who entered the office, with slightly dissatisfied eyes.
.
.
.
“···Are you satisfied?”
“yes. “A lot.”
Yuil said with a grin. Jang Jae-hyun, who was looking at him intently, relaxed his expression and smiled slightly.
“So, have you made up your mind?”
Yoo Il nodded at CEO Jang’s words.
Il-il had already carefully read the scenarios sent to him a few days ago and had made up his mind.
“I have a project I want to do.”
And Yoo Il took out the scenario he had brought.
Jang Jae-hyun raised a straight eyebrow after looking at the cover of the scenario handed over by Yu Il-il.
‘I didn’t know you would choose this.’
This time, the biggest portion of the scenarios submitted to Yoo Il was a romantic comedy-type drama scenario.
“Is there a reason why this scenario caught your eye? “If you are worried for any other reason, especially the image becoming fixed-”
“That’s absolutely not the case.”
Yuil smiled slightly and answered.
Although < Jinhee> is a melodrama, it is far from a bright and cute romance.
‘I wasn’t even worried about that in the first place.’
“It’s just that it’s the most fun.”
A drama with no original work, a long filming period, and fresh subject matter.
Yuil looked down at the scenario he had chosen.
< The Shadow of Faith>
It was the most suitable scenario among the scenarios chosen from the production company’s own IP rather than a novel, webtoon, or existing movie.
< Shadow of Faith> was the story of people struggling to find the truth among the secretive villagers.
It is a drama that already had its first season successfully completed two years ago, and based on its popularity, a second series was confirmed to be produced.
【< Shadow of Faith> is a seasonal drama scheduled to be released in the second half of next year on Newblix. Writer Yoo Ji-myeong wrote the screenplay, and director Ko Jin-hoo will direct.】
Many new characters and backgrounds that were different from Season 1 were also scheduled to appear.
After thinking for a moment, CEO Jang quickly nodded.
“great. Since Newblix plans to produce it in-house, there will be no production cost issues. “The director and writers are also good.”
When Jang Jae-hyeon said that he would immediately set up a meeting with the director, Yu Il-il cautiously opened his mouth.
“By the way, have Suna and Younghyun seen this scenario?”
“Not yet.”
Jaehyun Jang, who was staring at Yuil, burst into laughter.
“There’s no need to look at me like that. “I already wanted to show you.”
Only then did Yuil’s face become brighter.
“thank god. “I thought of you two a lot while reading the scenario.”
“...is it so?”
“yes. “We already worked together once, so I think it would be good to act together.”
After hearing those words, CEO Jang’s face became subtle.
This was also because, even after reading the script for < Shadow of Faith>, it was not easy for them to think of roles they could play.
“I’m curious what kind of role it is.”
“Hmm... I think you two would probably like these characters if you read the script.”
When Han Yu-il did not give an easy answer, Jang Jae-hyeon burst into laughter.
“You’re taking it back when you said you wouldn’t tell me.”
He looked at Yuil with a relaxed expression, but quickly shook his head.
In reality, it wasn’t a bad timing.
Currently, both Kim Sun-ah and Park Young-hyun had finished filming dramas and movies and were looking for new work.
Kim Sun-ah is one of the leads in a life-oriented youth drama featuring female actors in their 20s, and Park Young-hyun easily played an important supporting role in the movie. It’s a bonus that both are receiving good reviews.
After organizing his thoughts, Jaehyun Jang looked directly at Yuil.
“···Mr. Yoo Il. Come to think of it, I haven’t even heard what role Yoo Il wants yet.”
“The role I want to play is,”
There were various main characters in < Shadow of Faith>.
And among them, the person Yuil was thinking of was...
“This is Suhyeon.”
“···Suhyeon?”
Jaehyun Jang raised one eyebrow.
“To be honest, I’m surprised.”
“I thought you would.”
Han Yu-il had a look on his face that he expected.
Jaehyun Jang once again brought up the plan.
‘Soo-hyeon’ was born in the secret and gloomy village where the drama is set, and was one of the characters who returned to the village where she was traumatized and hurt and revealed its secret.
Although he was one of the main characters, he was the least important character among them.
Other actors would have given priority to characters with relatively high importance. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
However, Jang Jae-hyun already knew a little bit about what kind of actor Han Yu-il was.
“···It was a character I wanted to do well.”
The moment he saw the actor looking at him with silent eyes, Jaehyun Jang had no choice but to nod.
“great. “I will contact the director through the production company within today.”
After Han Yu-il left, Jang Jae-hyeon twirled the fountain pen in his hand for a while.
Although he always does his best and shows passion, he does not follow a certain pattern.
Jang Jae-hyun was pleased with such a subtle discrepancy.
‘···He’s a fun actor.’
The short worry is over.
The CEO of JJ Entertainment slowly picked up the phone with a faint smile.
*
A few days later, at an officetel in Sangam.
Director Ko Jin-hoo’s studio.
As soon as Yoo Il rang the bell, the assistant director opened the door.
“Actor! “Thank you for your hard work coming~”
The assistant director smiled brightly and welcomed Yoo Il. Once inside, director Ko Jin-hoo, who was sitting at a desk filled with monitors, with a warm expression, suddenly stood up.
“Oh my, nice to meet you! Mr. Yuil~”
“Hello, Director.”
Director Ko Jin-hoo stroked his fluffy hair and offered Yoo Il a seat. As soon as Yuil sat down across from him, he quickly began to continue his speech.
“I was so surprised when I heard that Yoo Il would do our work. I recently enjoyed watching Yoo Il’s work~ Especially this movie... great~! The day I saw Jinhee, I couldn’t do anything all day. Really!”
“I am truly honored.”
After that, the conversation between the two continued smoothly.
The atmosphere changed quite a bit when Director Ko Jin-hoo adjusted his posture and sat down.
“But... I have a question.”
His eyes, which had been smiling softly, became sharp.
“···Can you tell me why it had to be ‘Soo-hyeon’?”
The moment Yu Il heard that question, he had a hunch.
Depending on the answer to this question, the direction of casting will change.
Han Yu-il, who was looking at Director Ko Jin-hu, slowly opened his mouth.
