From A Producer To A Global Superstar-Chapter 251: Cast finalized

Dayo and Park were still inside Dayo’s his office.

The place was quiet, calm, nothing like the tension that had filled the past few weeks. Sunlight came in through the large windows, spreading softly across the living room floor. Park sat on the couch, relaxed but alert, while his daughter stood a few steps away, quietly observing everything around her.

Dayo was not looking at Park.

His attention was fixed on the child.

At first, he did not understand why his eyes kept drifting back to her. He usually did not pay attention to children like this. He had seen too many auditions, too many forced smiles, too many empty performances.

But this was different.

Something about the girl felt wrong in a good way.

Too calm.

Too aware.

Dayo focused his gaze properly this time.

And what he saw made his breath pause.

His vision shifted, the familiar data appearing naturally before his eyes.

Name: Seo Rin

Talent: B-

Potential: SS +

Dayo’s eyes widened slightly.

He looked again, just to be sure.

The numbers did not change.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Park.

Then, out of curiosity, his vision shifted again.

Name: Park Young

Talent Grade: S-

Potential: SS+

Emotional Range: High

Role Compatibility (Seung-gyu): 100%

Dayo let out a quiet breath.

"This is insane," he muttered.

Park noticed his reaction. "Boss?" he asked. "Is something wrong?"

Dayo looked back at Seo Rin, then at Park again.

"Park," Dayo said carefully, "has your daughter ever acted professionally before?"

Park blinked, surprised by the question. He glanced at his daughter, then back at Dayo.

"Well," Park replied, scratching the back of his head, "she acted in maybe two or three small projects a while back. Nothing serious. Just minor roles. After that, we stopped."

Dayo stared at him.

"Why did you stop?" he asked.

Park shrugged. "It was stressful. Agencies, schedules, pressure. I did not want to force her."

Dayo nodded slowly.

"That was a good decision," he said honestly.

He looked back at Seo Rin again.

Then another screen appeared in his vision.

Role Compatibility Analysis

Project: Train to Busan

Role: Su-an

Compatibility: 100%

Dayo felt his chest tighten slightly.

He was not someone who believed in coincidence.

This was too perfect.

He straightened up and walked a little closer.

Seo Rin met his gaze without fear. Her eyes were clear, curious, steady. Not stiff. Not trained. Just natural.

Dayo smiled faintly.

"All the girls I have seen so far were either too young," he said, mostly to himself, "or they could not carry emotional weight."

He glanced at Park again.

"This feels like luck," Dayo said. "Or maybe something better."

Dayo couldn’t belive his eyes a 100% just like her father ? How is this even possible ?

Dayo’s mind was going through different emotions without even understanding what was going on.

he had a very bright smile on his face.

Park frowned slightly. "Boss?"

Dayo shook his head lightly. "Sorry. Thinking out loud."

He paused, then asked carefully, "How old is your daughter?"

Park answered immediately. "Ten."

Dayo nodded. "That fits."

He walked back to his seat and gestured for Park to sit properly.

"Park," Dayo said calmly, "I want to ask you something serious."

Park straightened. "Go ahead."

"What is your opinion on your daughter acting in a major role?" Dayo asked. "Specifically, the child role in Train to Busan."

Park froze.

"My daughter?" he repeated.

Seo Rin’s ears clearly caught the conversation. She looked between them quietly, listening.

Park hesitated. "That is... not something I expected."

Dayo leaned forward. "I know. I would not bring it up if I did not believe in it."

Park exhaled slowly. "That role is not small."

"I know," Dayo replied. "That is why I am asking you, not forcing you."

Park looked down at his hands.

"Honestly," he said, "it should depend on her, not me."

Dayo nodded. "That is the right answer."

Park turned slightly. "Seo Rin."

She immediately looked up. "Yes, Daddy?"

"Do you understand what we are talking about?" Park asked gently.

She nodded. "Yes."

"And what do you think?" he asked.

Seo Rin did not hesitate.

"I want to act," she said clearly. "I want to act with Daddy. I have wanted to for a long time."

Her voice was steady. Excited, but not reckless.

Dayo felt his lips curve upward.

"She was listening the whole time," he said.

Park chuckled lightly. "She always does."

Dayo crouched slightly again, meeting Seo Rin at eye level.

"Seo Rin," he said, "acting is not always fun. Sometimes it is hard. Sometimes it is tiring. Sometimes people are not kind."

She nodded again. "I know."

"You might cry," he continued. "You might feel scared."

She thought for a moment. "That is okay."

Dayo glanced at Park.

"The bond between you two," Dayo said, "it already fits the role. The emotions are already there. You will not be acting. You will just be reacting to each other."

Park finally understood.

That was what convinced him.

He looked at his daughter, then back at Dayo.

"If she wants it," Park said slowly, "then I will support her."

Seo Rin smiled brightly.

"Yes," she said happily as she jumped. "I want to do it."

Dayo stood up.

"Then we should talk contracts," he said.

They moved to the table.

Dayo explained everything carefully. No tricks. No pressure. Clear conditions. Clear protection. Flexible schedules. Education ensured.

Park listened attentively.

"Since you are already signed with my agency," Dayo said, "it makes sense for your daughter to sign as well. I see many future roles for her, not just this one."

Park nodded. "I agree."

They reviewed the documents together.

Nothing rushed.

Nothing hidden.

When everything was clear, Park signed.

Seo Rin pressed her small thumbprint where required.

The contract was complete.

As they stood up to leave, Dayo watched them for a moment.

"Father and daughter," he muttered quietly. "The same kind of talent."

Park heard him and smiled. "Seems so."

After they left, Dayo remained standing in the quiet room.

He let out a long breath.

He had a feeling this movie was going to be hotter than expected having two major role who has a 100% Compatibility was on another level Dayo smiled he could already see the streams of award and money.

But what made him happy the most was.

The cast was complete.

Every role was filled.

Every piece was in place.

He picked up his phone and made several calls, confirming schedules, locations, logistics.

Production could finally move forward.

For a brief moment, doubt surfaced in his mind.

The ban.

The pressure.

The risk.

But it faded quickly.

He smiled.

"It worked," he said softly.

Luck had not abandoned him.

Or maybe he had simply prepared enough to meet it.

The movie could finally begin.

TRAIN TO BUSAN
