Possessed 10 Million Actors

Chapter 76

"Did you get a call from the head office director?" Why?"

"As soon as the compilation was released last week, I reported it to the superiors. I couldn't send everything because I was a little pressed for time, and I only sent it until the 8th episode.··"

When producer Na Jinho asked back in a surprised voice, Ha Sarang still answered in a dreary voice.

"Hurry up and send the last part."

“···.”

"He said he can't stand it because he wants to watch the next episode."

***

After the filming of "The Way They Chose", they returned to their normal daily lives.

I went to school and went to a part-time job as Kang Jinseok.

The manager said, "Can you stop working part-time now?".’

Still, I wanted to do something rather than stay still at home.

However, Jang Sunho strongly opposed the part-time job at the cafe, so he could only do the part-time job at the warehouse.

I went to school peacefully.

Perhaps it's been a while since "In Spring Without Flowers" ended, and people are slowly forgetting "Nakamura" in their heads, but as I passed by, some students looked at me, but not as much as when the show went on for a long time.

There's no class today… Should I clean my room after a long time?'

When I was about to get up from my bed stretching out loud, I got a Kakao Talk from Jang Sunho.

[Manager Jang Sunho: Actor, I'm sorry if I disturb your resting. You got an audition for your next work and an offer to appear on the show. If you have time today, can you talk to me for a moment?]

"It's an audition and an offer to appear on a show."

I was touched. Not long ago, I was searching for a role on the audition site.

I don't know what kind of work and broadcast it is yet, but it was a huge change compared to the past.

I immediately called Jang Sunho. A familiar voice was heard as the call connection went over a few times.

[Oh, yes!]! Did you read Kakaotalk?]

"Yes, I got an audition proposal?"

[Yes]. Two works have come in, and both are movies. The script is good, but there's something I need to discuss with the manager.]

"It's a movie."

Like any actor, I naturally wanted to try out for a movie. I also wanted to be an actor who freely moves between dramas and movies.

I don't know what kind of work it is, but I thought it was a great opportunity.

[And the broadcast is "Yeonyan Diary" that I was asked to appear on before]. [The actor said he didn't want to be involved with Park Hayeon, so he refused]

"Oh, <Yeonyan's Diary>…".”

Although he refused to appear, he watched the highlights of "Yeonyan Diary" on YouTube a few times.

I didn't really look for it, but it just came up as a recommended video, so I watched it. The editing was fun, so it was a good entertainment show to watch lightly as a killing time.

Unlike the "entertainment show that shows celebrities living well," which is popular these days, there was no reluctance because it was a program that showed the real life of the cast without any addition or subtraction.

‘The comments were quite friendly in that regard as well. They said it wasn't pretentious.'

While thinking of "Yeonyan Diary" for a moment, Jang Sunho continued to say.

[Actually, the producer asked me to do it myself]. At the time, I thought he was just poking it, but I think it's quite sincere seeing that he proposed it as a "special feature."]

"Special episode?"

[Oh, yes]. I didn't tell you that. According to the producer, he is planning a casting special for "The Way They Chose". I think he's going to film it in advance and broadcast it on time for the opening of Netflix.

"Oh, yes."

[Not all the cast members are on the show, but actors, Kyungsoo, Han Kangmin, and Park Hayeon who was originally on "Yeonyan Diary"]

To be honest, I didn't mean to cover it up unless it was a very strange broadcast. It's not a great place to go to a show that suits your taste.

It was because of Park Hayeon that he avoided appearing before, and if it wasn't for Park Hayeon, he would have happily appeared.

‘And Park Hayeon, I don't think she's a very bad person after experiencing it in person on set. She also brought out the atmosphere of the set.'

I thought about it for a while and told Jang Sunho.

"First of all, I'd like to see the audition script, so can I see you today?" Then, I think it would be good to decide whether to appear on an entertainment show or not."

[Yes, of course]. Then I'll leave right away because I'm at the company right now. I'll call you when I arrive.]

"Oh, if you're at work now, I'll go there. If you take the bus and subway, it will be….”

[I'll pick you up]. Please stay at home.]

While I was talking, Jang Sunho said firmly.

***

"Wow…. There's a lot going on in the company."

It's been a while since I came to OS Entertainment's office building.

When I came to sign the contract, it was very neat enough to feel empty, but now it was quite fancy because there were posters of works and profiles of actors.

Jang Sunho, who was walking next to me, pointed to one wall and said.

"Yes, the actor's work and profile picture are posted over there."

As Jang Sunho pointed out, a photo reading "Actor Kang Jinseok" was hung.

Next to it were posters of "Dreams of the Sun Rising" and "In Spring Without Flowers" with my autograph.

"This way."

Jang Sunho opened a large door and entered. When he opened the door, what I saw was a fairly spacious office. There seemed to be about 20 desks, but all of them were empty except for one.

"It's your first time coming to my office, right?"

Jang Sunho gave away his chair and said.

"Yes, but does the manager use this big office alone?"

"That's how it is now. This office is dedicated to actor Kang Jinseok."

"A dedicated office?"

"Yes. The actor will soon become a superstar. Then it's like a small and medium-sized company walking around, so there should be that many employees."

"Haha….”

The word "superstar" made me scratch my cheek with an awkward smile.

"My prediction is that when this work, <The Way They Choose>, launches, four more employees should be hired. My goal is to fill all the desks in this room by next year."

Jang Sunho took two thick books out of the desk drawer with a pleasant smile. It was written as "The World's Saddest Match Made in Heaven" and "Absolute Unlicensed Counselling", respectively.

"Both are romantic works. The difference is that "The Saddest Match in the World" has a sad melodrama, and "Absolutely Unlicensed Counseling" is a romantic comedy."

Listening to Jang Sunho's explanation, he gave a synopsis of "The Saddest Heavenly Feast in the World."

——

[The saddest match in the world – Sinopsis]

The main character, who has everything, including appearance, academic background, wealth, and family, is "Shirogan Yuu".

Everyone, regardless of gender, supports and fawns him, but Shirogan realizes that it's because of money and background, not because he loves himself.

After that, he go to Siro, who traveled alone to find ‘real love'. While traveling alone in Hokkaido, he meets "Aki" at a shabby ramen restaurant and falls in love at first sight.

For the first time in my life, I'm going to the city where I know "real love."

One day, however, Shirogan gradually develops a rare form of amnesia that he cannot remember from his childhood.

Now, when he can't even remember what happened a few months ago, Shirogan fears every day that he will forget his first "love" in his life, Aki.

But it wasn't just Shirogan who was afraid.

Aki was a time limiter.

So before she died, she was eating her favorite ramen every day, and then she met Shirogan.

Time for each other to hide their pain and love each other casually.

What will happen at the end?

——

"Wow….’

I wanted it. I really really wanted it.

I only heard the synopsis, but it's been a long time since I've been curious about the ending of the script.

"The script is in Japanese"

Jang Sunho replied with a smile to my words.

"Yes, the work is from Japan."

"I can't believe it's a work from Japan…". "Is this a Japanese movie script?"

"That's right."

"The director of this work is ‘Katahiro', and he fell in love with the actor's acting after watching ‘In Spring Without Flowers. And I heard that an actor named Sato Ryosuke praised your acting very highly. You're good at acting, but I heard you're good at Japanese, too."

It was a bit surprising and sad that even foreigners saw my acting.

"By the way, if you're talking about Sato….’

Ryosuke Sato is a Japanese actor who appeared in "Spring Without Flowers". The actor got quite close to playing the role of right-hand man in Nakamura.

I think the actor recommended me.

"I should contact him to say thank you."

While thinking about that, Jang Sunho said in a rather serious voice.

"However… The work is really good, but there's a problem."

"A problem?"

"Yes, well… The guarantee is too low. To the point of absurdity."

In particular, the word "outrageous" came to my ears.

"And it was weird that I got paid even before I even auditioned." The fee is usually negotiated."

Jang Sunho, who was speaking in a serious voice for a long time. As the atmosphere became serious, he spoke in a bright voice again.

"Well, leave the money to me. Let's look at another script first. It's as fun as <The saddest match made in the world>."

"Yes."

——

[Counseling without a license – Sinopsis]

Moon Hyemin, the only daughter of the chairman of the ShinMil Group.

She was suffering from severe anaphobia, a wound suffered by her stepmother when she was young.

No one in the world can understand themselves, and they locked up their hearts because they thought they could not be loved.

In order to treat Moon Hyemin, the chairman tried to appoint the world's best doctor and counselor, but none of them opened their daughter's heart.

Meanwhile, the name "Song Faith," a genius con artist, enters the chairman's ear. A legend in the world of fraud who has been tried dozens of times but has been cleared of all charges.

He was known to be the best at opening people's hearts to the extent that he sold the Bible to the monk and the Buddhist scriptures to the pastor.

The chairman proposes to Song with a determination to grab a straw.

The suggestion is, ‘Try to manipulate my daughter perfectly, and open her heart with it.'

It's like opening the heart of a rich family, Kyusoo, who doesn't know much about the world, so he confidently accepts the chairman's proposal because it is too easy for Song to believe.

There's no heart he couldn't take away so far.

However, Moon Hyemin was stronger than expected.

It was not easy to open up Moon Hyemin's heart more than anyone else who has ever experienced it, and Song Faith is becoming more serious about this "fraud."

As time passes, Moon Hyemin gradually opens his heart to Song Faith. At the same time, Song also hopes that this "fraud" will become "reality."

The chairman disapproves of the two's feelings.

Although he was a benefactor who opened his daughter's heart, Song Faith, a "fraudster," could not be recognized as his daughter's lover.

The chairman scarily threatens Song's faith to keep the line.

Song Faith, who always stole other people's hearts and never lost his heart, can't easily leave Hyemin's side…

a charlatan who has lost his mind.

a victim who has taken the heart of a fraudster.

What will the ending be?

——

"Sigh….”

I lowered my face and breathed a sigh full of agony.

"Why did this work come in at once?"

Both were good. Really, I didn't want to give up this either.

I don't know how much Jang Sunho's "outrageous" appearance fee was earlier, but I could give up as much as I could if I could go into such a work.

The senior actor's words, "If it's good work, you don't have to get paid," were fully understood.

"Manager, would it be difficult to do both of these works?"

"The filming period of the two works does not completely overlap, but it will still be difficult."

"Whoa…. "I see."

I leaned on the chair with the script in both hands.

‘Lee Manseok said. There are people everywhere who live a life like dramas and movies. So I'm sure there are ghosts who lived this scripted life….’

So if you allow me my time, I can digest both. But now I had no choice but to give up one of the two.

Jang Sunho asked while thinking about sweeping his hair roughly.

"What kind of work do you want?"
