October 10th, at a movie theater in Seoul.

A young couple was standing side by side in front of the ticket window, seemingly discussing which movie they wanted to watch.

"Watch 'Romantic Paradise', starring Han Ji-soo from SG Entertainment."

The girl looked at the information on her phone and said, "It was just released a few days ago. A friend of mine went to see it. The word of mouth seems to be quite good. It's a warm and funny movie."

"Han Ji-soo's acting performance in her first two films, 'Miss Granny' and 'Sunny', was very good. She was recently nominated for an award at the Busan Film Festival and is now a hot new actress."

The boy looked around the theater hall and saw the poster of the movie "Romantic Paradise" that his girlfriend mentioned.

In the picture, Han Ji-soo, who plays the heroine, smiles in the sun. Her oval face with a little baby fat is not glamorous, but has the affinity of a girl next door. In the Korean entertainment industry where female stars generally have plastic surgery and the styles are highly unified, she does give people a unique feeling and can be remembered at first sight.

However, the boy's attention was soon attracted to another poster display stand with a better location and more exquisite production.

Different from the aesthetic of "Romantic Paradise", this poster seems to have a "funny" style.

The picture shows a bumpy alley with a strong street scene atmosphere. A man with a mushroom-shaped haircut, wearing slippers and sportswear, with one trouser leg rolled up, turns around and smiles like a fool, looking like he is not very smart.

"'Secret and Great'?" The boy read out the name of the poster softly, but was surprised to find that in terms of film style, it was actually an action movie.

"How about watching this one?"

The girl looked in the direction the boy pointed and subconsciously refused: "No... Hey, this male lead is Kim Jong-hyun?"

"Really." The boy took a closer look and nodded, "The difference in appearance is so big that I didn't recognize it at first."

Unlike Han Ji-soo, Kim Jong-hyun is a famous young actor who already has several famous works.

However, he was previously better known on the screen for his image as a "social elite in a suit and tie", which is really hard to associate with the "mushroom-headed fool" in the poster.

The girl quickly found the information of this movie on the Internet and read: "'Secretly Great', produced by CJ Entertainment, starring Kim Jong-hyun, Park Ki-woong, and Lee Hyun-woo, directed by Zhang Xiuzhe, and written by...Ye Zhiqiu!?"

"What's wrong with Ye Zhiqiu?" the boy was puzzled.

"Ye Zhiqiu, Jackson Ye! This is his Chinese name! Don't you often hear him sing English songs?"

"Besides, he is the screenwriter of "Miss Granny" and "Sunny". I didn't expect that he would cooperate with CJ Entertainment."

The girl suggested: "How about watching this movie 'Secret and Great'? I think it might be better with Ye Zhiqiu as the screenwriter and Kim Jong-hyun as the lead actor."

After she said that, the boy also became interested, and he was more inclined to action movies, so naturally he had no objection.

The two people who reached an agreement walked to the window to buy tickets. In front of them was a tall man in a suit.

It was strange to wear a suit to watch a movie, and the man didn't look like someone who would go to the movies. Instead, he looked more like a bodyguard, so the two of them looked at each other a few more times.

They noticed that the other party also bought tickets for the movie "Secret and Great".

After buying the ticket, the man in the suit walked to the lounge area of ​​the cinema, bent down respectfully and said something.

Then, a woman wearing sunglasses, wearing clothes that looked expensive and with a noble temperament stood up.

From the delicate face under the wide sunglasses, it can be seen that the woman should be young, but she has an aura of inviolability, standing out among ordinary people like a crane among chickens.

At the ticket booth, the boy couldn't help but take a few glances. Before the other person's eyes were about to turn over, he quickly pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, and said sourly, "You can tell at first glance that he's a rich man. He even has bodyguards with him. Maybe he's from a chaebol family."

"People like this already have a movie theater right at home, so why do they need to go to a public place like this to watch a movie?"

At the side, the girlfriend looked at the other person and said hesitantly: "She looks a bit like... the president of SG Entertainment? Her name seems to be Kim Mi-young."

"I saw it on the news. If it's her, she really is from a chaebol family, and she's a core figure."

As they were talking, the woman, accompanied by her bodyguard, was walking towards the entrance of the theater and happened to pass by here.

The two of them quickly shut up and stopped discussing.

Complaints may be made, but in this country, offending the chaebol is not a good thing, and similar plots have been played out in many movies.

On the other side, Kim Mi-young entered the screening room and took a seat.

Today, she came specifically to see the work "Secret and Great".

As the president of SG Entertainment, things haven't been going well for her lately.

Due to the intervention of the directors forcibly sent by the group, she lost a large part of her power and was constrained in every way.

This situation is very common in power struggles in family-owned businesses. You cannot be inferior, otherwise you may be eliminated at any time, but at the same time you cannot be too excellent, as there will be a group of people waiting to pick your peaches.

In fact, the new movie "Romantic Paradise" starring Han Ji-soo is a work that is beyond her control.

After the huge hits of "Granny" and "Sunny", Han Ji-soo has already had a certain fan base and box office appeal.

According to her plan, the next step is to increase investment, continue to cooperate with Ye Zhiqiu, and launch a better-produced work to consolidate the good situation.

As a result, the plan was disrupted by Li Haizhen who was sent by the group company.

Although "Romantic Paradise" also continues the style of the first two films, will customers still like it if the same dish is made three times? Moreover, this movie is also a low-budget film, and the total investment is even lower, which can be said to have compressed the cost to the extreme.

Thinking of the short-sighted faces of those people who were eager to "harvest", Jin Meiying curled her lips into a disdainful sneer.

She is waiting for an opportunity to completely control SG Entertainment...

While I was thinking, the movie started.

At the beginning of the film, the background of the story is explained. The male protagonist is named Yuan Liuhuan, the leader of the secret special force 5446 in the divided North. As a spy, he was sent to South Korea to carry out a lurking and waiting mission.

In a village in Seoul, he was taken in by an auntie from a grocery store. He was given the alias Dongjiu, a fool with a not-so-bright brain. He had snot hanging from his nose all day long, wore a green sports suit, and performed a routine of tumbling down the stairs every day.

However, behind the scenes where no one could see, he did not forget his duties as an agent.
