Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 47

“So it’s really not going to happen.”

Looking at the message he just received, The Swordsman Baek Dong-su producer, Ju Yeong-man, tapped his fingers on the table.

Despite having plenty of opportunities to find a replacement, the reason they delayed to the very end was that the agency for the actor playing young Ja-un had insisted he could do it until the last moment. Treating the actor like a machine that existed solely to earn money through their activities rather than as a human being.

‘And yet they’ll probably end up blaming the actor in the press.’

Though it left a bad taste in his mouth, it didn’t matter anymore. He’d already found a replacement.

“Are you sure Kim Dong-hoo agreed to do it?”

“Yes, Writer Kwon Jae-ho reached out, and he confirmed it.”

“Alright... Kim Dong-hoo is definitely someone we can count on.”

His acting ability was already proven.

As he spoke, Ju Yeong-man thought of High Dream.

That performance was almost beyond words. Not only was he absurdly handsome, but his acting felt like he had ripped the character straight from the script. It had even crossed his mind that he’d like to work with him someday.

‘But to think it would happen this quickly.’

Striking while the iron was hot, Yeong-man quickly devised a plan.

“Then negotiate his fee with his side, and make sure Kim Dong-hoo can start martial arts training immediately.”

Child actors typically lack experience in such things, so even with focused training, it would take at least a month.

‘To be honest, a month is a very short amount of time.’

For those lacking natural athleticism, it could take up to three months.

With the schedule so tight, they would have to teach him quickly, shoot, and adjust in real time.

“Oh, right. The Veritas side said something unusual.”

“Unusual?”

“Yes, they said he could go straight to set without martial arts training...”

“What?”

At Director Oh Jae-deok’s words, Yeong-man frowned.

‘I heard he said he could just play the piano in High Dream, and he did.’
