Please! My relationship with the girl group leader is purely platonic.

Chapter 79 A New Idea

On the way back, neither Tiffany nor Yoona mentioned what had happened before, but their eyes betrayed that they were not as calm as they seemed.

Jiang Youzhen noticed this, and he didn't know whether the situation was good or bad, but he took both of their words seriously.

The car reappeared at the back gate of SM Entertainment. Before Kim Tae-yeon could react, Tiffany and Im Yoon-ah took the takeout boxes and got out of the car first. Looking at the two of them with their inexplicably teasing expressions, Kim Tae-yeon felt that something was wrong.

Only the two of them remained in the car. After a brief silence, Kim Tae-yeon spoke up, "Anders, I have to go now. Thank you for your help with lunch today, and for going to all the trouble... But before you go back to New York, let me treat you to a meal."

"Sure, of course I have no objection." Upon hearing the invitation, Jiang Youzhen quickly agreed.

The passenger door opened, and Kim Tae-yeon paused for a moment as she was about to get out of the car.

She had a feeling that when she left for the convenience store, Tiffany and Yoona must have talked to Kang Woo-jin about something, and it must have been about her.

The reason is simple: under normal circumstances, those two wouldn't be so quiet the whole way; they couldn't have been too full, could they?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Youzhen and met his gentle eyes.

The slight confusion in her heart vanished instantly. She smiled gently at Jiang Youzhen before getting out of the car and leaving.

Jiang Youzhen watched her walk through the door, then looked around to make sure no one was watching before he quickly drove home.

Outside, it was bustling and lively, but inside, everything was peaceful. The old man wasn't home, so Jiang Youzhen parked his car and went straight upstairs. Without being disturbed, he quickly fell asleep.

He stayed up all night last night and has to get up early tomorrow morning for an online interview. He feels that if he doesn't go to sleep early, Tony will give him a barrage of calls in the early hours of the morning.

He slept until 2 a.m. When he woke up, Jiang Youzhen felt refreshed and energetic. After a quick wash and some exercise, Tony called him on video.

Due to time differences and geographical distance, Tony explained in the video that the two reporters in charge of the interview were fairly professional and wouldn't ask any unnecessary questions. Near the end of the interview, he added that someone had come to him with a script, hoping to talk to Kang Woo-jin.

"That person contacted us because of the trailer for [REC], but the distributors haven't been able to reach us. They think you're also a new director and should understand his work, so why don't you take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youzhen suddenly realized that the company registered in New York was actually a production company. With the added filter of the new movie, it was no wonder that someone would contact Tony.

"Okay, send it to me later."

After chatting with Tony for a few minutes, the video call ended. Kang Woo-jin changed into a casual suit. When the new video call connected, the female reporter on the other end of the screen visibly brightened up.

A good appearance can be a big plus; being young, handsome, and having good eloquence and manners are all pluses.

After discussing the interview content in a businesslike manner, the female reporter left a well-wishing message of box office success and ended the interview. She then connected with the next reporter via video call, and the questions and answers were similar. This online interview took nearly an hour.

Having settled this matter, Kang Woo-jin took out his computer and printed out the document Tony had sent him. It was a very simple film concept plan, also in the form of a mockumentary, but the content of the film was quite interesting.

Record what happens in a house at night.

To be fair, those people really have a wild imagination. A house, nighttime, a camera—perfect for a ghost story.

A project that doesn't even have a script would definitely not be considered by big companies like Columbia Pictures or Warner Bros. In recent days, the trailer for "[REC]" has been playing actively in North America, and the name FFF is also spreading in a small circle.

It's a good sign when a fish bites the bait.

Out of his love for mockumentaries, Kang Woo-jin decided to contact the other party. The contact information was on the document, and the call was answered in less than two seconds.

"Hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Parley, this is Anders Chiang. I'm aware that you contacted my agent."

The person on the other end of the phone sounded a little excited. It seemed that he had been turned down by several companies before contacting the new director Jiang Youzhen, or perhaps he thought that a new film company could buy his work.

But right now it's just a concept, and Parley is a bit stubborn, so it's easy to imagine that no film company would be willing to accept it.

The call lasted for more than ten minutes. Jiang Youzhen and Paili got along quite well. At least he was able to put aside his shyness when it came to sharing the same hobbies.

When Jiang Youzhen went downstairs for dinner, he noticed that Jiang Jingshu had two more documents in her hand. He thought to himself, "It's fine to look at them, but please don't try to exploit my labor."

"Youzhen."

"..."

The devilish call made Jiang Youzhen feel uneasy. He first greeted the old man before taking his seat at the dining table.

Good morning, Mom.

"When I came downstairs just now, I heard you talking on the phone with someone. It's a holiday, why are you up so early?"

Jiang Jingshu was just saying it casually. Seeing that Jiang Youzhen's expression wasn't very good, she couldn't help but add with concern, "Go and rest for a while after you finish eating. The holiday is only so short. Rest instead of always working overtime."

Hearing this, Jiang Youzhen looked incredulous. He felt that his mother was being sarcastic. Shouldn't it be that if he was on vacation at home, he should go to her company and do more work?

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Okay~" Jiang Jingshu slowly put down what she was holding, and after a moment, she changed the subject again, "Are you going to participate in the MBC Drama Awards at the end of the year?"

"No, I might come back for a couple of days at the end of the year, but I don't want to be in the media spotlight."

Jiang Youzhen had no intention of attending such a ceremony; it wasn't his focus, and besides, he had already made plans for the end of the year.

Jiang Jingshu felt a little regretful, and she added, "You'll be receiving two awards this year, so it seems I'll have to accept them on your behalf."

"You've made a decision so quickly?"

It's not even the end of the year yet, and they're already distributing pork?

Jiang Jingshu remained calm. She had seen this kind of thing many times before. In the past, there might have been no way to win, but now those people were willing to risk being scolded just to get the trophy into her hands.

What else could she say? Did she lose it?

"What are your plans for the next few days?"

"Reading books, writing screenplays, that's it."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Jingshu understood. He was probably going to stay home all the time again. She didn't stop him. Regarding his new movie, she explained that she would handle all the domestic promotion.

However, Jiang Youzhen asked another question that surprised her slightly.

"Are you planning to produce and distribute a movie yourself?"
