The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor Chapter 33

It’s a business that’s good for me too.

Da-hee Jeong, who realized that her work had been stolen, immediately looked for the business card she had received from the production company. I kept making calls, biting my nails nervously, but the person on the other end never answered.

About the fifth time I called, I heard an electronic voice telling me the phone was off.

‘What do we do?’

Even under these circumstances, it was even more miserable to have to continue working to make a living. Dahee Jeong greeted the guest with a cursory greeting. His search history was full of things like plagiarism and plagiarism responses.

‘Should we make it public because it looks like a board?’

But when something similar to this happened before, it was buried. Should I start broadcasting and blow it up? But will this work?

Jeong Da-hee, who was thinking about something else and spilled water on the customer, hurriedly lowered her head.

“I’m sorry! “I will clean it up right away.”

The other person said it was okay and held out his hand.

“it’s okay. “You are the writer Dahee Jeong, right?”

“yes?”

Dahee Jeong responded reflexively. How did you know my name when I didn’t even have a nametag? And the author?

The other person, wearing a suit, took out a business card from his inside pocket and held it out to Jeong Da-hee.

“I am this kind of person…”

Lim Seung-hyun was smiling softly, just like when he first met Lee Tae-gyeom.

***

It is impossible for Money Ghost Yoo Yeon-seo to lose the money she invested. When coordinating the ‘virtual reality’ contract, Yeon-seo slightly changed the clause.

“Let’s add one clause.”

If the writer or production company infringes on the intellectual property rights of others, if the writer or production company causes social controversy and damages the actor’s image, or if civil or criminal legal disputes arise, Yoo Yeon-seo, as an investor and actor, can exercise his legitimate rights.

The investment penalty for this is three times. Honestly, I saw this a lot.

“Penalties… so…”

The team leader of Woori Pictures, the production company, trailed off after seeing the conditions that Yoo Yeon-seo had changed. Three times that amount would be enough for a production company to stumble. Jol?

“uh? That’s strange… How could our writer Hwang possibly violate the contract?”

“Yes. Our writer is always professional…”

Copying another work in a professional manner? If it’s a talent, it’s a talent.

“But wouldn’t the penalty clause be too unreasonable?”

“It’s not much different from a standard contract. And how much money did I put into this, and you can’t even include this much clause?”

“That’s… yes, I understand.”

In fact, Halo Media was asked to play the press to an excessive degree. So, it has already been established through dozens of articles that Yoo Yeon-seo is interested in writer Hwang Mi-jeong’s script.

Naturally, inquiries about sponsorship and advertising poured in, and there were also broadcasting stations that were positive about the programming. There is no turning back as the synopsis has already been released.

Yoo Yeon-seo saw the production company team leader hesitating and drove a wedge.

“If there are any issues, you can resolve them in advance before filming begins.”

Whether it was meeting Da-hee Jeong and giving her money or coaxing her by suggesting an assistant writer, that was what Yoo Yeon-seo wanted. There are already a lot of things to risk based on the script alone, but if it goes to litigation, it will be a long-term battle, so you need a solid shot, right?

The production company team leader’s eyes changed after hearing Yoo Yeon-seo’s words. You’re probably thinking something similar.

“Then shall I sign?”

Yoo Yeon-seo held a pen and smiled brightly.

Between Yoo Yeon-seo and Lim Seung-hyeon, Lee Tae-gyeom, who knew nothing, rolled his eyes.

“No, what on earth is good Gapjil?”

“Wait a minute, let’s listen to Seunghyun Lim.”

Lee Tae-gyeom was so frustrated that he hit his chest with his fist. However, Lim Seung-hyeon and Yoo Yeon-seo ignored them and started talking among themselves.

“Have you had any bites?”

“yes.”

It is said that Jung Da-hee was contacted first by Woori Pictures, who had not answered the phone since Yoo Yeon-seo signed the contract.

“hello?”

(Hello, Da-hee Jeong. This is Sang-jun Kim, our Pictures team leader.)

Seung-hyeon Lim arrived at the exact same time. When I said hello to him before, he thought it was ‘Do you believe in the Tao’, so he didn’t trust me easily, so I came to persuade him again.

‘Just in case, I took a photo to prove it to you… The timing was perfect.’

Lee Tae-gyeom laughed heartily when he saw two strong men taking pictures together. Lim Seung-hyun sat across from Jeong Da-hee.

(You contacted me before, but I was busy so I didn’t receive it? I’m sorry.)

When the call was made, Lim Seung-hyun wrote a message on his cell phone and showed it to Jeong Da-hee, who was at a loss.

Recording evidence

Jeong Da-hee, who was quick to notice, nodded and pressed the record and speakerphone buttons. He spoke in a trembling voice.

“I saw that article posted. Writer Hwang Mi-jeong, the synopsis for ‘Virtual Reality’ is the same as my ‘Dreaming’?”

(Oh, that… Writer Hwang had trouble writing, so I used some reference.)

“Reference? “Where is solver material common in virtual reality?!”

(You can find it if you look for it. There are no different materials under the sun, right? They are all similar.)

Jeong Da-hee became excited at Kim Sang-jun’s shameless answer and raised her voice.

It’s vague, just a bit of reference… Lim Seung-hyun tapped his cell phone and caught Jeong Da-hee’s attention.

Stay calm.

Dahee Jeong forced herself to take a deep breath. Yes, nothing will change even if you get excited.

“So, why did you call me first after all the communication I had received?”

(I admit that I referred to Jeong Da-hee’s script. So… aren’t you planning on joining as an assistant writer even now?)

“What? “It’s my work, but you’re an assistant writer?”

(Or, since you helped me plan the writing, I can give you about 500. That’s a lot of money… Wouldn’t it be better to come in as an assistant writer than that? Use this time to build your career, right? Your next work will be produced by our production company. I’ll give it to you.)

The fee Hwang Mi-jeong will receive per episode in ‘Virtual Reality’ is 70 million won. A total of 16 episodes would amount to over 1.1 billion won. However, Da-hee Jeong is told to drop out after earning only 500.

“I refuse. “I will exercise the legitimate rights of my work.”

(It’s a legitimate right… Then what should Dahee Jeong do? Make it public? Should you file a lawsuit?)

“Yes?”

(Even if you file a lawsuit, it’s basically a year, but by that time, the drama has already ended, you guy.)

Lim Seung-hyun pointed at my temple as he seemed to be scolding me. There are a lot of problems not only with the writer but also with the production company?

(Do you think making it public will get proper attention? Do you remember the incident that was publicized in the previous edition of Park Ji-hye’s ‘Oh My Master’? Did you know that she eventually received a settlement?) Da-hee Jeong chewed her lower lip

. Because he knew that case, he could not easily move even if his work was stolen.

(Tsk, the production decision and programming have already been made… Look, Jeong Da-hee. The main characters are Yoo Yeon-seo and Yoon Ha-neul. Even if Yoon Ha-neul is like that, Yoo Yeon-seo… can you handle Joo-seong? )

Oh, this is my first time hearing that. Lim Seung-hyeon of Joosung, who was listening, raised one corner of his mouth.

(What can an aspiring writer believe in? Do you know that if you get picked on by writer Hwang, you won’t be able to survive on this earth?)

“Are you threatening me now?”

Even though there are many rumors, Hwang Mi-jeong is a great writer whose annual salary alone exceeds 7,000. It was not enough for a new writer who had not yet debuted to fight.

(This is not a threat, this is a suggestion. Let’s add 500 more and settle for 10 million won. This is the way it is originally.)

Kim Sang-jun of Woori Pictures found it funny that he was begging the aspirant.

This was done secretly. If it weren’t for the unpleasant penalty clause imposed by Yoo Yeon-seo, we wouldn’t have contacted the original author to resolve the issue.

Even if it becomes a public issue, if we just pretend not to know about it, the drama will go to the end. Even if the legal battle ends later, it can be resolved by paying a reasonable amount of settlement money.

(10 million won or an assistant writer. What do you think?)

“…….”

(Or, let’s make some concessions and do both. That’s okay. If it were me, I would do it.)

Jeong Da-hee was so unfair that tears welled up in her eyes. What hurts my pride even more is that if I had been alone, I could have lost money.

Hwang Mi-jeong, I will forgive myself and think about it.

Jeong Da-hee looked at the man in a suit sitting across from me and calmly giving instructions.

A suspicious man who claims to be from Joosung’s strategic planning headquarters. Moreover, he was said to be Yoo Yeon-seo’s assistant, who threw away his script right in front of him… The world was so evil that it was not easy to believe him.

However, a suspicious person who provides practical help is more trustworthy than Kim Sang-jun, who ignores and ridicules him as an aspiring writer.

“If writer Hwang Mi-jeong contacts me directly and admits to plagiarizing my work and apologizes, I will consider keeping quiet.”

(Hmm…….)

Kim Sang-jun was lost in thought over the phone. Are you the type of person for whom pride, not money, is important? Then it’s easier. However, the task is to persuade writer Hwang Mi-jeong, whose pride is sky-high…

(I’ll understand for now. I’ll call you later.)

Jeong Da-hee took a deep breath after hanging up the phone.

“Well done.”

“…What should I do now?”

Seunghyun Lim grinned.

Yu Yeon-seo, who heard the whole story, was silently amazed.

“Is this fishing?”

“When writer Hwang Mi-jeong contacted me, I told him to do as instructed.”

“is it so. “Looking at you, I think you’ll do well.”

He must have been frustrated and angry, but he followed Lim Seung-hyun’s brief instructions well. Lee Tae-gyeom, who overheard the conversation and understood the situation, laughed.

“What’s wrong with you? “I also know how to do the wrong things in justice.”

“Oji? no. “This is a business that also benefits me.”

Yoo Yeon-seo suddenly evaporates, and Jeong Da-hee posts a public comment on the board at the right time.

Here, if Yoo Yeon-seo, who was always in trouble, appears and spices things up, it will be good for Da-hee Jeong because she will relieve her resentment, and it will be beneficial for Yoo Yeon-seo because she will be able to peel off her shabby image.

“Oh, as expected…”

It seemed like he had become a little nicer, but it wasn’t surprising. Lee Tae-gyeom shook his head.

We also have a law office ready to file a lawsuit if Dahee Jeong wants to do so. I’m screwing over the production and writer, but since Joo-sung has Shield, there’s no problem. The broadcasting station that accepted the plagiarized writer Hwang Mi-jeong also suffered a bitter taste.

“Then is that the end?”

“no. “The script is a bit of a waste.”

It’s not ‘Virtual Reality’ by Hwang Mi-jeong, but ‘Dreaming’ by Da-hee Jeong.

Even if you briefly use the automatic action mode and look at the original work, ‘Dreaming’ is a worthy work. If ‘Virtual Reality’ has a small taste of programming hope and then falls apart, what about the original work that was plagiarized? Will this remain as an old script in a corner of the production company?

‘If writer Jeong Da-hee wants….’
