Legendary Superstar-Chapter 40: Meeting With Global Studios (1)

The sun peeked through the thin curtains of Minjae’s apartment. It was still early in the morning, yet the start of the day was already waving at him.

Minjae had a good sleep. It was honestly one of the best sleep he had so far. Maybe it was because he spent the whole week training and learning countless lessons from Yura.

His rest yesterday really made an impact.

Now, as the new day descended, every fiber of his being felt relaxed and energetic. He felt like a renewed man.

On the other hand, even if today was supposed to be another rest day, he was asked to go to his agency.

After all, today was important.

Just like what Director Yejun discussed with him yesterday, Global Studios really did schedule a meeting with Flex Entertainment to discuss the upcoming promotions and interviews for the drama.

Dongwook just informed him yesterday that his presence was needed before he went to sleep.

Even though he was too lazy for it, he knew that he couldn’t just ditch it.

So now, even if it was just 8 in the morning, he was already getting ready. In fact, he just left his bed 5 minutes ago.

Dongwook said he’d fetch him by 8:30, so there was still a lot of time to swing.

Minjae took a shower at the speed of light. Afterward, he dressed himself in a simple yet neat outfit. He was wearing a branded white shirt and dark jeans.

It was the clothes he got from the system.

At exactly 8:30 in the morning, Dongwook arrived in front of his apartment, driving a shiny white van. Minjae boarded it and they made their way to the restaurant where the meeting will be held.

The drive towards the restaurant was mostly quiet, with only the music from the radio playing.

Minjae sat at the back. He looked outside the window, silently watching the people as they did their own things. Some were taking a stroll with their dogs, enjoying the morning sunlight while the others were rushing to go to their respective job.

From the driver’s seat, Dongwook glanced at Minjae through the rearview mirror.

"You look well rested today. That’s good. I bet at the end of this meeting, you’ll be drained. There will be a lot of people to talk to." Dongwook lightly chuckled, breaking the silence.

Dongwook had been working under Flex Entertainment for years. In his stay, he had accompanied a lot of new artists in meetings. And one thing he could say was that, after the meetings, the new artists would be dead tired.

Meetings weren’t only meant to negotiate and mutually agree on terms, but it also includes the artistic perception of the artist.

Since this meeting was for promotion and interview, they would surely talk about how Minjae should look like, to the way he acts, and answer the questions. There would be a lot to discuss and he couldn’t wait to see how Minjae would handle it.

"I guess I don’t have a choice but to hope it’ll be fast then ," Minjae answered jokingly as a small smile played on his lips.

"Not in 5 minutes, I hope."

Inside a private dining room at one of the most famous restaurants in the city, the representatives of Global Studios’ PR team and Flex Entertainment were seated at a long wooden table.

Light foods and coffee filled the center of the table as the people from the two companies engaged in light chatter.

At the right end of the table sat Director Chanhyuk, along with two senior executives, and a few employees from the agency. Across from them were Producer Sean, Director Yejun and Director Heechul, one of Global Studious’s head directors, and a few important figures of the studio.

As Minjae and Dongwook entered the private room, all eyes briefly turned to them. Director Chanhyuk gestured for them to take a seat beside him.

"You’re just on time, Minjae." Chanhyuk uttered in a light and welcoming voice.

Minjae smiled at Chanhyuk before turning his attention to the rest of the people with them. He glanced at each of them, before bowing his head as a way of politely greeting.

"Thank you for having me."

"It’s nice to see you again, Minjae." Producer Sean beamed.

"It’s nice to see you too, Producer." Minjae respectfully replied before showing a smile and taking a seat beside Chanhyuk.

"I hope you had a good rest, Minjae." Yejun kindly smile at Minjae.

"I did, director." Minjae chuckled.

"Oh well, thank you all for coming. It’s still early, but let’s get straight to business." Once everyone was settled, Director Yejun took the lead for the meeting.

"As you’re aware, the teaser for ’The Only Way’ has garnered significant attention from the public, particularly due to Minjae’s scene. The response has exceeded our expectations."

There were murmurs of agreement around the table. All of them knew it from the public’s positive response.

"His performance captured the public’s interest and we believe that Minjae has the potential to become a key figure in the promotion of this drama." Director Heechul, the man who was responsible for the company’s PR team, also added.

It was really a rare occurrence for an extra to be as close a popular as the main leads. They couldn’t just miss the opportunity, since the public was begging the company to allow Minjae to join the promotions.

Despite being the talk of the room, Minjae kept a neutral expression on his face. He was just silently watching as the higher-ups talked among themselves first.

"I know what you meant. However, what’s really the point of orchestrating this meeting? What do you want for Minjae to do?" Chanhyuk asked, his tone was curious.

Even though he knew what those guys were saying based on their words, a proper agreement should be said to avoid any misunderstandings.

"We’ll be scheduling a few interviews from different broadcasting stations. These interviews will have the appearances of the main cast. We’d like Minjae to join these interviews." Yejun continued, stating their main agenda for today.

"I see. However, currently, Minjae is still just training for these kinds of situations. He’s new to the industry, so he hasn’t had the chance to experience those yet. How will you ensure that our artist will stay protected? Because as we all know..."
