Chapter 769: The Owner of the Script (1)
Kk Talk messages from Wang Mi-In started coming in rapid succession.
[MBS Writer Wang Mi-In: About the script you sent—it's mine, even if the title's different! I originally wrote it under the title She Was Beautiful as an assignment for Director Go Gi-Dong's scriptwriting class.]
[MBS Writer Wang Mi-In: But how did it end up in your hands, Mr. Jung?]
So Wang Mi-In was the true author of Reborn Idol. And the original title was She Was Beautiful, the same title I had known before the regression. That meant Go Gi-Dong had taken the script Wang Mi-In submitted for class, changed the title, and circulated it among potential investors and distributors.
It also explained why no plagiarism lawsuit had emerged in my previous life. Once the film got greenlit and the investments rolled in, they must have quietly paid off Wang Mi-In, who at the time had been a struggling writer.
'What thieves!'
Now that I knew who the rightful owner was, the outrage pouring from Cheon Yi-Sang, Park Eun-Bin, and Go Gi-Dong felt almost laughable. However, I couldn't show my emotions. Securing the rights to Wang Mi-In's script was the top priority.
Besides, the fact that Cheon Yi-Sang had dragged both Go Gi-Dong and Park Eun-Bin here was suspicious in itself. It was the perfect setup for a media stunt to paint Yoo-Jin as someone who stole Park Eun-Bin's lead through coercion.
I needed to get out of here fast. Without hesitation, I quickly stood up. "I understand. Then I'll step away from Mr. Go's film."
"What the hell? What game are you playing?"
"You said to drop out, right? I'm just doing what you asked. Why question it?" I shrugged and helped Yoo-Jin to her feet. "Let's go, Yoo-Jin."
Yoo-Jin, who had been trading stares with Park Eun-Bin, tilted her head in confusion but followed my lead. "Okay."
