"In this situation when we don't even have time to shoot the additional scene, if we have to add one more scene?" "Then..." "Should we go with flashback scene?" "That's correct!" "Yes, Representative." "Among the scenes we've filmed before, please edit one flashback scene quickly which possibly comes in mind of the main character, right before he dies." "Flashback?" "It will be inserted right before the ending scene." "Running time should be about one and half minute." "Yes, I got it!" "Representative, look at this."

"Don't worry, the helicopter will be used." "Excuse me, Representative." "I've just got a message, but because of the bad weather in Seoul, the helicopter can't come." "You useless bastard!" "What about the quick-service motorbike?" "Well, he's over there." "PD Park, wrap it one more time." "Yes." "How much are you earning for a month?" "About 2 million won ($2,000)." "Why?" "To S Broadcasting station ("SBS") in Seoul, not in Kangwondo, if you arrive there in an hour, I will give you 10 million won ($10,000)." "If you're late by 10 minutes, 5 million won, if you're late by 10 more minutes again, 2 million won, after than, not even a penny." "Think you can do it?" "Director Park, lend me that motorcycle." "Huh?" "Representative?" "Ah... yes." "From here to Seoul, 293.8 km. (about 160 miles)" "The possibility that biker goes in 300km per hour and arrives there alive is 36.2%."

"As promised, I will read your script and if it's good, I'll contact you." "Do you think I will believe that?" "Miss Lee Go Eun." "Do you know what is really innocent?" "Focusing on the goal." "Whether it's money or success, I just focused on it innocently." "Representative!" "Are you alright?" "I'm fine, so just clean that up." "Yes." ""Morning of Kyeongseong"?" "Japanese occupation era, in the wheels of history, a fierce life story of one man, who threw his identity away and risked his destiny." "Genre :" "Noir" "It's a dark story which only costs a lot of money." "Didn't it spill on your clothing?" "Get rid of this too!" "Yes." "Ah, Representative, the meeting is ready now." "Let's start." "Representative!" "We have a big problem!" "Drama "Elegant Revenge" which put a 40-year-old man to death." "What are you all doing now?" "Actively explain and block all the media!" "Immediately!" "Yes, hello?" "Oh, Reporter Park, wait a second." "Call Lawyer Park and let him prepare the press release for the explanation." "Yes." "All C.E.O.s of the daily newspapers, sport newspapers, internet media, editors and chiefs of portal sites which have been working with us, put all of them through to my room!" "Who ordered this "speeding of death"?" " Netizens, furious about the production company's C.E.O. / Even bribed the deceased's family..." " Empire Production's cover-up for the accident?" "Chief Editor Yoon Dae Sung of Daehan Daily is on the line 1." "Yes, Chief, this is Anthony." "Oh, Representative Kim, what has happened?" "Yes, I will tell you more details later." "Chief, please block the articles first, though." "We will give you the press release soon for explanation or refutation." "All other newspapers are putting up the story now, so we can't take it out alone!" "I will take care of other companies too, so please take that out immediately for now." "That's, well.." "Ah, Representative Kim," "I need to go for a meeting, so I will call you back a little later." "Chief, Chief!" "C.E.O. Kim Jong Chul of Yonhop Entertainment News is on the line 3." "Hello, this is Anthony!" "We're also preparing the explanation press release, so you don't have to worry about it." "Please remove the articles now." "That's why I'm asking your favor." "You know I've helped you a lot so far, Chief." "This time, it's your turn to help me, Chief." "You shouldn't do this to me, Chief." "Team Leader Park, we've been partners for 5 years, you know that, right?" "I'll not ask any more." "Only three days, please block it for three days." "Hello, hel...?" "Have you forgotten who helped you to your current position?" "Hello, hel...?" "Have you forgotten who helped you to your current position?" "What?" "Are you done talking?" "Hey, you bastards!" "I'm the one who has given you money and articles so far!" "Representative!" "Right now, reporters are waiting in front of the company and requesting the interview." "At the end, this incident was the heartbreaking accident caused by the poor reality of drama production, which is also called "live show", and by the greed of a mega drama production company pursuing only high ratings." "Representative, Mr. Chairman is on the line." "Speaking, Mr. Chairman." "Regarding to this accident, the public demand by netizens is strong that the broadcasting station and the production company must actively work on the compensation for the family of the deceased." "Anthony, I'm really disappointed by you." "I'm sorry." "Until tomorrow, the press release for refutation will be on and..." "No need to say anything further." "Attend the meeting tomorrow for the Board of Directors." "Mr. Chairman..." "Please give me some time to solve this." "I don't care about other people, but at least you should trust me." "I'm not saying I don't know how you feel." "But shouldn't I clean up the mess you made?" "You're doomed now." "What do you mean "doomed"?" "Who made "Empire Production" company as the number one in Asia?" "How could you say I'm doomed?" "Because of me, "Empire" is made." "The fame of "Empire" is made because of me, Anthony!" "So what?" "Even if I have to leave, I will leave with my own feet." "But I can't just leave." "The writers I've raised, I will leave with them all." "So are you saying you will fight till the end?" "You know well, that baseball is dependent on a pitcher, and a drama is dependent on a writer." "Fine." "If you want, go ahead." "I don't think you have much time, though, because I won't stay still." "Don't regret." "Secretary Choi." "Starting from Top Writer Lee Mi Hun, Writer Kim, Writer Park, all others, put them through." "Right now!" "I've read the article very well." "Of course." "As I told you, you've put even the photo really neatly." "Anthony?" "What can he do now?" "I'm not the only one who wishes that bastard goes under." "Managing Director, Mr. Chairman is on the line." "I will call you later again." "Yes, Mr. Chairman." "Since we don't have much time, listen carefully to what I'm about to say, Director Oh." " Yes." " I fired Anthony a minute ago." "Do not let Anthony take any of the writers of our company, not even a single one!" "If you do this work properly, the next Representative of "Empire" will be you, Director Oh." "You can do that, right?" "Yes, Mr. Chairman." "I'll definitely finish this." "Secretary Kim, before Anthony, put Writer Lee Mi Hun through, and transfer all the lines, which Secretary Choi put through to Anthony, to me!" "All of them!" "Immediately!" "Writer Kim, you've hit the rating 50% three times, but don't you think the payment of 30 million won (US$30,000) per episode from "Empire" is too little?" "If you come with me, I will give you 40 million won." "Writer Park is on the line 2." "Then, please don't hang up, and think it through for a moment." "Secretary Choi, what about Writer Lee (Mi Hun)?" "I couldn't reach her yet." "By all means, put her through." "Yes, Writer Park, this is Anthony." "40 million won?" "Writer Kim, Anthony is fired now, so he's calling the number without thinking." "What will you do with the penalty for breach of the contract with "Empire", then?" "Ah, you don't need to concern about the penalty for breach of the contract." "I will get the investment and handle it right away." "You know me well, I'm Anthony." "I admit that Anthony is good and resouceful." "Yes, I admit that." "But, haven't you heard about Writer Jeong?" ""Elegant Revenge" was mutilated by Anthony." "What do you mean "mutilated"?" "It had the rating 30.2% and was placed as the top." "I will treat you as a national writer, Writer Park." "What about 50 million won per episode?" "Then, please don't hang up, and think it through, yes." "Secretary Choi, what about Writer Lee?" "We didn't request that side..." "Hey, excuse me!" "Ah, yes, yes, I got it." "I will give you more time to think about it." "Writer Lee is on the line 1." "Then, please don't hang up, I will wait for your answer." "You.. you... you!" "What on earth are you?" "I'm Lee Go Eun who screwed up in this field because of YOU!" "[Preview]" "What I'm mad the most is that such a kind like you is acting up with the power in drama production field." "You will be doomed some day." "I've always lived a fancy life." "Of course, it's not like that there was no shadow in my life." "By any chance, do you have about 3 million won ($3,000)?" "The problem is that the shadow has been..." "Are you in that much difficulty?" "continued since 3 years ago." "Oh, I guess you have something to get some investment from Japan." "About 10 billion won...?" " About 10 billion won...?" " 10 billion won?" "Lee Go Eun, Lee Go Eun..." "Yes, the name was definitely Lee Go Eun..." "Go Eun, don't you want to make a drama?" "Is this Writer Lee Go Eun?" "BE QUIET, PLEASE!" "King of dramas, Anthony can stand up again." "To conquer the world again, I need you," "Lee Go Eun!"
