Tabloid Truth (찌라시: 위험한 소문)

CJENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS

A WATERMELON PICTURES PRODUCTION

There are some things you can never forget

While all memories fade with the passage of time,

one thing remains as clear as yesterday

The first time I laid eyes on Mi-jin

I could never forget the day

The first time he saw her

was at Zeus Entertainment audition

Hi, my name is Choi Mi-jin

I'm 19 years old, a senior at Hanlim High

The truth of the fact is that he felt it right away

Mi-jin made her audition

and that sealed their fate

Good... next!

Can I do another shot with a different expression?

Is there something you want to do?

Everyone's just doing smile pictures

Go on, do whatever you want

Let's give it another shot

What have you done?

What?

We got a callback for Mi-jin, not Eun-bi!

I gave them Mi-jin's portfolio when I dropped off Eun-bi's

Was that so terrible?

Man, you've grown some balls

I read the script a few times over

The part isn't right for Eun-bi visually nor emotionally

She's just fake

This part is made for Mi-jin

Give her a chance

Get out of my face Don't bother coming back

Oh, come on

I said get out

Are you out of your fucking mind? Let me go

Alright, I'm out of here

I've got nothing to learn from this shit hole

As managers, you gotta know if your actors can act or not

That was the turning point

What are you doing here?

Can't you see? I'm working

I heard you got fired because of me Why'd you do it?

Where did you get the idea? I quit

There was nothing to learn from those scumbags

So, you'll be doing this instead?

What's wrong with that?

Mi-jin, please prove them

that I was right about you all along

You do it

What?

You go prove them that you've been right about me

Kid, the world doesn't roll that way

You gotta bite the bullet Make them notice you

You said there's nothing to learn from them

Still...

How can I make you a star without even as much as a bike?

You want to ride buses with me to auditions?

You'll be in for a rough ride

Hey

I don't mind a rough ride

I don't need much other than occasional coffee

I'll give it my best So, please be my manager

Are you sure about this?

What's that?

It's your advance It's all I can give you

You still want to go with me?

From that day on, Woo-gon gave blood, sweat and tears for her

He went around knocking doors at every TV station,

production house and advertising agency

You won 't be disappointed

if she gets a small part, he had to beg for free hair and makeup

pull strings for free wardrobe

In the meanwhile,

he borrowed expensive cars from friends to drive her around in syle

All the effort started to pay off

As she began to gain recognition, she got bigger parts

even shot a few commercials, too

Y es, Director

Yes

Pardon me?

We can't park here

Get out for a second

What is it?

Let's nail this one Show the world!

Yes

Because we're coming to get you!

Because they started together from the rock bottom

They had a special bond

unlike any other actor and manager

Then, it all happened when things finally started to fly

When they thought they had the world at their feet

They probably never even dreamt what was coming their way

all from a word from our mouths

TABLOlD TRUTH

Man, you've come a long way

from days of drinking cheap instant coffee

That stuff is no longer allowed in here Mi-jin's on a diet

Besides, espresso is the real coffee

Don't you think you're a little too far ahead of yourself?

This office and the luxury van

You even bought her a condo?

It's all part of the investment

She's really taking off

I gotta make sure that she does it in style

Well, share the good fortune Give me a story

You've got all the good juice from this town

Anything thatTabloid Truth 2014 drive the internet wild?

We'll see about that

For old time's sake

Who wrote even a one-Iiner for you

when she was absolutely nobody

Alright, alright

Why don't you write a feature on Mi-jin?

And I'll give you a real juicy gossip

Oh yeah?

There is nothing I won't do for Mi-jin

Hello, Director!

I was just about to call

Did you have lunch?

Pardon me?

What?

Mi-jin and Congressman Nam?

What are you talking about?

There he is Mr. Congressman!

Any comment?

It's an utterly unfounded rumor

Where do you think it's coming from?

Mr. Congressman!

I don't like this any more than you do

but it's not my call and you know that

We haven't signed anything

We won't be renewing the contract

Let's discuss it again later

Maybe next time

A 'tipsheet' about Mi-jin is all over the net

- What 'tipsheet'? - And you call yourself her manager?

It's just a pathetic attempt at hurting her reputation

by some jealous losers

You don't mess with a three-time elected congressman for fun

- Then, who did this? - How would I know that?

Let me handle this

I'll sort this out no matter what

Do it fast or she's out

Director

I will take care of it

Damn it

This is it what they call tipsheet

It's an exclusive, subscription-only email newsletter

designed for those in public relation, stock market and politics sectors

A sugar daddy?

They can't say that about her! Not after all our hard work

Who the hell makes this shit up?

That's not the problem

It's spreading fast on the internet

No... no, no! We've got to stop this

Write an article defending her position

A single article will just get buried

Then, tell me what to do!

Damn it!

Why are you waiting outside?

Did you see it?

You've got nothing to worry about

It's all over the net

What am I gonna do? I'm scared

There's nothing to be scared of

I'll take care of it

By tomorrow, it'll be yesterday's story

You just need to focus on your new TV series

Nothing's changed, okay?

Mi-jin

What I know is the same as what you know, right?

What do you know?

That the rumor about the congressman is a groundless lie

You don't believe me like everyone else

Don't be silly

Whatever everyone else says, I believe what you tell me

But you can't hold back anything from me

That's all I'm saying

It is a groundless rumor

Thank god...

I'm your manager I'll protect you

I arranged a press conference tomorrow

I'll have someone pick you up

Don't think about this and get some rest

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Woo-gon

Drive safely

Okay

Go inside

What's going on?

Is this everyone?

Bae Yeong-hun is announcing a surprise wedding

I told you this wouldn't work

Are you on your way here with Mi-jin?

Drive her back home I'll explain it to her later

Don't ask me why

Just do as I say, damn it!

Mi-jin, it's me
