Next.

At the director Woo Jung-hans word, the next actor entered. 

He bowed and made eye contact with each person.

Hello. Im Kim Ho-young.

Okay. Kim Ho-young, actor. Lets see your acting first.

Kim Ho-young bowed his head deeply again and opened his mouth after exhaling.

A warm light filled his stiff face.

The audition role was Kim Naegwan, a loyal official who served Sejong, Munjong, and Danjong. 

He had taken care of baby Danjong like his grandson.

He served Sejong when he was twenty, Munjong when he was in his late thirties, and Danjong when he was forty.

Kim Ho-young spoke.

Your Majesty. Please rest in your chamber.

Kim Ho-youngs voice was gentle as he bent his waist slightly. 

He looked at him like a grandson, but he did not forget that he was his superior. 

There was love and distance in Kim Ho-youngs eyes and gestures.

Oh.

Director Woo Jung-han looked over Kim Ho-youngs resume. 

He had filmed several independent films when he was young and had a long hiatus. But his acting skills were that good.

Kim Ho-young straightened his back after finishing his acting.

Why did you stop acting?

I needed money.

Everyone nodded at Kim Ho-youngs answer. 

They all knew that many people left this world because of money. 

And they also knew why those people came back to this world.

In the end, they couldnt let go of acting.

They had regrets, and their eyes unknowingly turned to this world. 

Thats why director Woo Jung-han didnt ask for the reason. 

He just checked the application lightly.

Candidate passed.

Now he had to look at the works that Kim Ho-young had done and evaluate them.

Next to director Woo Jung-han, there was an actor who had a miserable past life because of that regret and came back.

Seo Joons eyes sparkled. 

He felt like he knew what director Woo Jung-han meant by an actor who wanted to act. 

The actors he thought were okay until now didnt attract him that much.

He had seen some good scripts and thought that any of them would be fine, but a script that he liked just appeared.

There might be better actors

When he chose a work, there were times when there were better works, but Seo Joon chose the work that he liked.

Seo Joon always wanted to act the script that he liked the most.

He wanted to act with that actor.

Passed!

Seo Joon drew a big circle on Kim Ho-youngs application.

-Finally, you started filming! Danjong!

-But how long will it be a temporary title? Lets name it first!

= It will be really canceled at this rate.

***

The title is out.

At director Woo Jung-hans words, the eyes of the people gathered in the conference room turned to one place.

Many people were happy that the title was decided, but more than anyone else, the publicity team leader who had to promote it was happy.

Director Woo Jung-han wrote a big letter on the whiteboard in the conference room with a black marker.

[Rebellion]

Its rebellion.

Rebellion. As in treason?

Yes. The rebellion of a rebel.

The people nodded.

Its a good title.

Although two-letter movie titles were trendy, everyone nodded in agreement because the movie wouldnt fail just because of its title.

As long as the director likes the name, its fine.

No one would object if it wasnt for Lee Seo-jun, the star of this movie.

I like it too!

Seo-jun said with sparkling eyes. Then there was no one left.

Now we can finally get rid of the tentative title.

The publicity team leader, who was really annoyed by the word tentative attached to the article title, smiled and called the staff in the publicity office with his phone.

The title is decided! Its Rebellion. Rebellion! The rebellion of a rebel!

The publicity team staff who got the press release checked by the publicity team leader sent it to the reporters.

The reporters quickly wrote articles based on the press release sent by the movie production company, Danhong.

[Lee Seo-juns next work, Rebellion!]

[Finally, the name is decided, Rebellion]

-Is Lee Seo-juns next work not Danjong?

-Its Rebellion. Danjong was a tentative title.

-A fake title?

-A temporary title!

-Rebellion Is it rebellion as in treason?

-From Danjongs perspective, it is treason.

-Now we can call it by its title. It feels like its being made

The timing is good!

Thats right. Just when we have the ritual, the title is decided.

The people gathered in the conference room laughed and talked.

Today was the day of the ritual before filming Rebellion.

Unlike usual, where there was a long table, there was a ritual table set up on one side of the empty conference room.

There were colorful foods on the table, and in the center, there was a smiling pigs head. There was a mat in front of the table for bowing.

Seo-jun looked at the pigs head placed in the center of the ritual table with a curious face. The pig looked like an orc.

Do you stick money in there?

Huh? Is this your first time doing a ritual, Seo-jun?

Seo-jun nodded at the director of photographys question. The art director counted on his fingers and recalled the movies that Seo-jun had starred in.

Shadowman and Over The Rainbow were filmed in America, so you didnt do a ritual there, right? And maybe you didnt do it for My Doctor because it was a drama.

People dont do it these days anyway.

Evil Spirit must have done it, right? Director Choi Dae-man believes in that kind of superstition. Right, Ji-seok?

Choi Dae-man. Seo-jun and Lee Ji-seok laughed at the name they hadnt heard in a long time.

Yes. We did a ritual for Evil Spirit too, but Seo-jun didnt film from the beginning. He only filmed for a few days at the end.

Lee Ji-seoks words made everyone nod.

So this is really Seo-juns first time doing a ritual.

Yes!

Its your first time doing a ritual. Can we make this into an article?

The publicity team leaders eyes sparkled. When Ahn Da-ho nodded, the publicity team leader picked up his phone and shoved it into his pocket and headed for the conference room door and shouted.

Camera! Camera! Wait a minute! Were going to film!

Then he ran to the publicity team office.

Everyone laughed at the sight of the publicity team leader running like an arrow.

Shall we wait a little longer then?

Then I guess Im not late.

A low voice came from the conference room door. Seo-jun and the people looked at the door. Everyone was surprised and jumped up from their seats.

Teacher Park Woon-yeol!

It was Park Woon-yeol, who played Kim Jong-seo. 

Park Woon-yeol, who looked like a neat old man, lifted his hat and greeted them.

Youre not scolding me for being late, are you?

No! Welcome!

Hello!

Big greetings came from everywhere. Startled by the appearance of their senior, Seo-jun and Lee Ji-seok also bowed deeply.

Hello. Im Lee Seo-jun!

Nice to meet you. Youre really good at acting. Ji-seok, long time no see. You didnt contact me much, but you were keeping this great actor to yourself.

Ahaha. Im sorry. Ill contact you more often. Teacher. Please sit here.

Lee Ji-seok quickly brought a chair over. Park Woon-yeols seat was prepared next to Seo-jun and Lee Ji-seok.

I enjoyed the movie. I especially liked the violin performance, so Ive been listening to it a lot lately.

Thank you!

Seo-juns eyes sparkled at Park Woon-yeols compliment.

My granddaughter also likes it a lot, so can I ask you for an autograph later if you have time?

Of course!

Seo-jun smiled and nodded. He was envious and impressed by the fact that he had been an actor for a long time. Seo-jun also wanted to act for a very long time like Park Woon-yeol.

Park Woon-yeol looked at Lee Ji-seok. Lee Ji-seok flinched at his gaze and shrugged his shoulders.

You should contact me more. Jong-ho also said you dont contact him much.

Jong-ho hyung too. Why do you tell that to the teacher?

I like being treated comfortably. Seo-jun, feel free to contact me too.

Yes! I will!

The three main actors of the movie Rebellion were all gathered. Director Woo Jung-han captured the scene of the three in one shot.

Lee Ji-seok, Lee Seo-jun, and Park Woon-yeol.

Looking at the three actors who were having a friendly conversation, it was hard to imagine them as Prince Suyang, Danjong, and Kim Jong-seo.

But then again, they change completely when they start acting.

Right?

Then the conference room door opened with a bang. It was the publicity team leader holding a camera high. The publicity team leader, who was excited by the unexpected publicity material, opened his mouth with a bright face, but rolled his eyes at the calm conference room atmosphere. Then he met Park Woon-yeols friendly smile.

Camera! I came to find Teacher Park Woon-yeol is here Hello!

The people in the conference room laughed.

Lets do the ritual then!

Everyone got up from their seats at the director of photographys words.

[Movie Rebellion, video of the ritual scene for wishing success released!]

[Actor Lee Seo-jun, his first ritual in his life!]

[Actor Lee Seo-jun Please make the movie successful!]

[Park Woon-yeol, Lee Seo-jun, Lee Ji-seok! The movie Rebellion with only great actors is expected!]

-Seo-juns first ritual!

-Well, he wouldnt do a ritual overseas

-Is it my imagination that Seo-jun looks nervous?

=22 He seems awkward because its his first time

=Hes watching what other actors are doing closely

=Hes cute!

-There are a lot of comments in foreign languages. Theyre asking what theyre doing

-Are they asking if its his next work? What is that pigs head? They keep asking

=That scene wont be in the movie anyway

-Phew. I explained it to them hard.

=Did you really explain it properly?

= I told them its Korean witchcraft. Wishing for the movies success.

=Its not wrong, but The word choice is a bit

=Korean witchcraft
