Korean entertainment: I can steal the luck of celebrities with bad records.

Assistant Zheng remained silent.

He stared at Lin Puzhi for several seconds, then put away the lawyer's letter and returned it to the envelope.

"I'll go back and report," he said, "but I can't guarantee the company will accept it."

"I know," Lin Puzhi said, "but at least you won't have to go back and hand in a blank paper."

Assistant Zheng's lips twitched slightly; it was unclear whether he was smiling.

He turned and left with two men in black.

Breathing resumed on set.

After Assistant Zheng left, Choi Moon-seok said to Lim Pak-ji:

"Feel sorry."

"?"

Lin Puzhi was taken aback. Why was Director Cui apologizing?

"I promised you I would handle this, and I thought SBS had already resolved it. I never expected that people from KeyEast Entertainment would come to the set and cause trouble today."

Lin Puzhi waved his hand: "It's nothing, wasn't it resolved?"

Choi Moon-seok patted Lim Pak-ji on the shoulder: "Anyway, I'm sorry for what happened. Next March, a friend of mine has a good project, and I'll recommend you for an audition. Consider it an apology."

"Thank you in advance, Director Cui!"

……

Although Go Soo and Han Ye-seul are the male and female leads, in the first two episodes, the only scene where the two meet again is at their engagement party eight years later.

It must be said that Choi Moon-seok's ability to control the visuals is truly remarkable.

Go Soo was dressed in a black suit, while Han Ye-seul wore a pure white wedding dress. The background featured a red apricot tree that the props team had spent three days decorating, with pink petals scattered on the ground, contrasting with the pink tables and chairs.

Every frame could be used as wallpaper.

After filming this scene, neither Go Soo nor Han Ye-seul left.

Han Ye-seul was chatting with her best friend Park Han-byul, while Go Soo approached Lim Pak-ji.

He changed out of his suit and into a black hoodie, walked to the corner, and sat down next to him.

It wasn't the kind of sitting posture where you "chat for a bit," it was a real sitting posture—leaning back in the chair, hands in the pockets of a hoodie, like a stone statue that had been moved there.

"Regarding what happened earlier," Gao Xiu spoke up, his tone like that of a caring older brother, "do you need any help?"

Lin Puzhi was taken aback. Everyone in the crew knew that Gao Xiu rarely spoke to people on his own initiative.

"No need, thank you, senior." Lin Puzhi laughed it off and took over the topic. "The other side is probably just playing hard to get. They have a legal team, so they definitely know they're not in the right. I'm just a pawn in their capital game."

Gao Xiu looked into Lin Puzhi's eyes.

"I heard you didn't join a talent agency, but your family opened a personal studio for you?"

"Yes."

"Have you considered joining a talent agency? So you'd have someone to rely on."

"What company?" Lin Puzhi asked.

"BH Entertainment," Gao Xiu said. "It's a relatively new company. The boss, Lee Byung-hun, is a friend of mine. Although it's small, it has a clean background. There are no underhanded practices, no exploitative contracts, and the profit sharing is very reasonable."

Lin Puzhi had never heard of BH Entertainment, but he had heard of the name Lee Byung-hun.

A few days ago, Lee Byung-hun's ex-girlfriend, Kwon Mi-yeon, told the media that Lee Byung-hun had lured her into bed with the promise of marriage, and therefore demanded compensation of up to 1 million won.

He's currently embroiled in a lawsuit with his ex-girlfriend, Kwon Mi-yeon.

"I will consider it," Lin Puzhi said.

Gao Xiu nodded and stood up. He took two steps, then stopped, turned back, and said:

"You played Cha Kang-jin very well, but in the entertainment industry, you can't go far by working alone."

Yes, you can't go far by going it alone, but I want to go with like-minded people.

Gao Xiu is gone.

It was as quiet as when I arrived.

Lin Puzhi sat there, watching his back.

Lin Puzhi withdrew his gaze, stood up, and walked towards Han Yiseol.

Park Han-byul went to the restroom, and Lim Pak-ji approached her and said:

"Senior, you look so beautiful in your wedding dress today."

Han Ye-seul looked up, saw that it was a young, talented junior actor from the crew, and smiled:

"Thanks."

Han Ye-seul thought to herself: As expected of me, wearing a wedding dress, I easily bewitched the younger generation on set.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Ask away."

Are you trying to get my contact information? After all, you're a junior, and it would be too hurtful to refuse directly, but giving it to you would cause trouble.

Han Ye-seul is in distress.

"Park Han-byul sunbaenim, do you have a boyfriend now?"

Han Ye-seul's smile froze.

She stared at Lin Puzhi for two seconds, her expression changing from "I knew it" to "Are you kidding me?", and finally settling on a subtle wariness.

Why are you asking her that?

"I'm just... curious." Lin Puzhi scratched his head. "I think she's a really nice person."

"She's a really nice person?" Han Yise repeated, raising her voice by half an octave. "I stood in front of you for ages in my wedding dress, and you say my best friend is a really nice person?"

"You're very kind, senior..."

"Come on," Han Yise interrupted him, crossing her arms. "Are you interested in her?"

Lin Puzhi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Han Ye-seul sighed and said in a tone that said, "I see right through you, don't you read entertainment news? A few months ago, she and her boyfriend Choi Dong-wook were photographed on a date by paparazzi and went public with their relationship with the media."

A few months ago? I wasn't even here yet. But... Choi Dong-wook? Never heard of him.

It seems she hasn't met her future husband, Yoo In-seok, yet.

"That's wonderful!"

"?"

Han Ye-seul looked at her with a "Did I hear that right?" expression.

"No," Lin Puzhi quickly explained, "I just wish Senior Park well in his relationship."

"A blessing?" Han Ye-seul narrowed her eyes. "You're not thinking of stealing someone else's boyfriend, are you?"

"I've heard of a type of man who only likes to pursue women who already have boyfriends. They think that there are countless competitors when pursuing single women, but only one when pursuing women who are in a relationship—just get rid of their boyfriends."

"You're not that kind of person, are you?"

Lin Puzhi decided to shut up.

"Let me tell you," Han Ye-seul paused, her expression suddenly turning serious, "if you're really interested in her, I advise you to give up. She and her boyfriend were high school classmates, each other's first love, and have been in a relationship for nine years; their relationship is very stable."

"I've got it," Lin Puzhi said.

"You'd better remember that." Han Yise glanced at him, her tone softening. "You're not a bad person, I just don't want you to get hurt."

After saying that, Park Han-byul came out of the bathroom.

"What are you talking about?" She walked over and took Han Yise's arm.

"It's nothing." Han Ye-seul glared at Lim Pak-ji, then pulled Park Han-byul out. "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner. The boxed lunches on set aren't very good."

As Han Ye-seul dragged Park Han-byul away, she would occasionally glance back at Lim Pak-ji.

That look that says, "You better be telling the truth, or I'll keep an eye on you."

Lin Puzhi didn't pay any attention and returned to his usual seat.

My phone vibrated.

It's a message from the landlady:

"Mr. Pinocchio, I heard someone was giving you trouble on set today?"

Lin Puzhi turned his head and looked around, but he did not see the familiar figure.

Lin Puzhi withdrew his gaze and replied with his head down:

"Who told you that?"

"I have an informant."

"Who?"

"I'm not telling you. Anyway, don't worry about offending people; I have some connections in the entertainment industry."

Lin Puzhi smiled and replied:

"Thank you, the woman behind me."

The landlady sent a smug emoji.

Lin Puzhi put down his phone and continued reading books related to acting.

But after seeing the boss's message, I always felt like there was a watchful eye on this film crew.

I kept watching him.
