Possessed 10 Million Actors-Chapter 83
Chapter 83
"What do you mean, look at it as a pushover. I think your words are too harsh. It's a place where we made it to narrow our differences, so if you could tell us….”
Park Kyunghoon couldn't look at Jang Sunho properly and said. Looking at Park Kyunghoon from the side, he sighed his head into Yoo Yeon.
"That's why you have to spend a reasonable amount of money….’
Before coming to the meeting, Yoo Yeon told Park Kyunghoon several times that he should spend at least 300 million won with Jinseok's guarantee.
But Park Kyunghoon said, "I'm Park Kyunghoon. "Don't worry," he said, which was not even cool, and eventually Yoo Yeon gave up.
"Well, I mean….”
Park Kyunghoon opened and closed his mouth because he didn't know what to say.
The meeting room continues to have an uncomfortable atmosphere.
"I….”
Yoo Yeon carefully dropped his words to solve the situation.
However, Jang Sunho's firm voice was heard before Yoo Yeon could speak properly.
"500 million."
“…?”
"I won't take it unless it's more than 500 million."
Yoo Yeon said in amazement.
"Mae, manager. 500 million is a guarantee for most middle-aged actors. That's too much to ask."
"I know. So I was originally going to be satisfied with 300 million won. But since you mentioned this ridiculous guarantee first in INSEA, I can't help it. Please match it. No, please match me."
Jang Sunho now glared at Yoo Yeon. Thanks to this, Park Kyunghoon, who could afford to keep his mind together, intervened in the conversation between the two.
"If it is known that you asked for such excessive guarantees, actor Kang Jinseok may not be able to shoot any other commercials in the future!"
At Park Kyunghoon's words, Yoo Yeon bit his teeth tightly and looked at Park Kyunghoon. The expression was full of "Please shut up!"
Jang Sunho spat out laughter at Park Kyunghoon, who was about to rise again.
“…Are you threatening me now? You're going to tell the industry?"
In response to Jang Sunho's apparently angry voice, Yoo Yeon covered his face with his hands as if there was no turning back now. Park Kyunghoon only had his lips twitching again.
"Rumorize it. I'm not afraid of anything. And I think you're mistaken about one thing."
“….”
"Even if it's not ‘Maserati', it's full of commercials. It's a cash cushion even if you just shoot an advertisement for our affiliates. But the actor doesn't want that, so I'm just not doing that."
After glaring at Park Kyunghoon and Yoo Yeon once, Jang Sunho got up from his seat and packed his coat.
"I'll look forward to seeing what kind of face you'll see next time we meet. If you two could meet me."
***
About a week has passed since the trailer of "The Way They Chose" was released.
In the meantime, there was no contact from Jang Sunho, and there was not much interaction with Staff Sergeant, PD, or others.
Maybe it's because I've been busy lately, but suddenly I feel like I'm wearing out because I'm so relaxed.
"I'll have to read the script again."
I still have a long way to go until the audition, and I opened the script for "Absolute Unlicensed Counseling."
Maybe because I read too much, I'm already in tatters.
(Singing "Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo.").
The cell phone, which had been on the floor all day, rang. I immediately snatched my cell phone and answered the phone.
"Hello!"
[I'm Jang Sunho]. [I'm sorry if you're resting, actor]
"No! What's up?"
[I was wondering if you had time this evening]. The CEO and his acquaintance want to eat together. [There's something else I want to tell you about "advertising"]
First of all, I was surprised once by the words "CEO" and "CEO's acquaintance" and again by the words "advertisement."
"Advertising to me?"
[Yes]. I should have told you earlier, but now I'm telling you because something has happened. If you are not busy, please attend. [CEO's acquaintance said he really wanted to meet you]
The CEO of the agency met at the end of the party. He was impressive, confident, and shiny bald.
It was a friendly impression that you could see anywhere, so it wasn't much of a burden to meet him, even though he was a "CEO."
You said you had something to talk about advertising… We have to meet, right
"I see. What time and where should I go?"
[Reservation is 6:30]. By the way….]
Jang Sunho slurred his back. It is rare for Jang Sunho, who always says everything straight away like a robot.
[Actor, what are you going to wear?]
"Clothes?"
I thought of the clothes in the closet once and said.
“…I shouldn't wear what I always wear, right
[If you're talking about jeans, a hoodie, and a padded jacket, of course, you can't wear that "never". [You're going to see the advertiser]
"Advertiser? "Didn't you say that you were with the CEO and the CEO's acquaintance?"
[Yes]. An acquaintance of the CEO is the advertiser. Anyway, that's great. I thought you should pay attention to your outfit now, so let's go shopping.]
“….”
[I'll be in front of your house in 30 minutes]. Get ready.]
In 30 minutes.
Jang Sunho arrived in front of the house, and I got in the van. As soon as I got into the van, Jang Sunho looked at me as if he was scanning me. His eyes were fiercer and more meticulous than most audition judges.
"We don't have much time. We have to be busy, so please understand if it's a little hard."
"What? Oh, yes. But we don't have much time. Didn't you say the appointment was 6:30? It's only one o'clock."
"That's why we're running out of time. We have to buy clothes, too."
We just have to buy clothes then, but I didn't understand it well when you're saying that.
“···.”
And after a while, I realized.
The meaning of Jang Sunho's words is "understand even if it's hard" and "there's no time."
Jang Sunho planned to try all the clothes in the department store.
"Try this on."
"It'd be better to be a little darker in color."
"This is too dark."
"It's rather hard to choose because you look good in everything. Try on what you wore earlier."
"You look good in pink, too."
"Orange, too."
"I can't believe it suits you even with the color of national defense."
"The seat is the seat, so you have to take care of your socks."
"I have to choose a watch, but I don't have time today, so let's go with the simplest one."
"The shoes….”
As if I were some fashion model, Jang Sunho kept throwing clothes at me.
"Mae, manager. Wouldn't this be enough?"
I asked about 50 times when I went back and forth to the changing room.
but.
"I haven't even tried on half of it yet. Please change quickly."
“…Yes."
As I passed by, people who recognized me stopped walking and looked at me or took pictures.
At first, I greeted each one of them and waved, but as time went on, my expression hardened.
Perhaps my reaction was interesting, the department store employee was smiling brightly.
Jang Sunho's immediate payment of clothes that he thought fit him may have played a role.
"Sigh….”
It was harder than most sports.
I felt like I knew why all the fashion models were skinny.
Let's go to the dressing room about 100 times like that.
"Luckily, we finished shopping earlier than I thought. It didn't take long because the actor liked the hangers."
Jang Sunho spoke in a satisfied voice, holding a shopping bag full of clothes in both hands.
"Let's go to the restaurant right away. I think it would be good to leave before there is traffic."
"Yes….”
He nodded weakly.
I could see myself in the mirror installed on the way down to the parking lot.
Overall, a bright navy semi-suit, and a dark tie that looks like black without patterns. Maybe because the brand was a brand, it was quite luxurious.
"There's a saying that clothes are wings for a reason."
As soon as I got in the car because I was busy shopping, my body spread out. Jang Sunho put a shopping bag in the back seat and said.
"Let's go."
“…Sir. Actor, we have arrived."
I felt someone shake my shoulder. When I barely open my eyes, I can see Jang Sunho's face. Did you fall asleep just by closing your eyes for a while?
"You must have been really tired. Still, your face looks much better, maybe because you slept for a while. It's rather good."
Jang Sunho laughed and led me to the restaurant.
"Wow….”
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was amazed without realizing it.
White marble walls, subtle gold lights, neat settings, and subtle floral scents. It wasn't spacious, but it seemed to show the value of this restaurant.
I was proud to have worked at a high-end restaurant a lot, but it was my first time in a place like this.
I understood why Jang Sunho chose clothes even though he bothered me so much.
"But… It's weird.'
There were no customers except Jang Sunho and me. I thought it was because it was the entrance, so I looked inside, but there was no one inside either.
"Manager. Hasn't it been opened yet? There are no customers."
"Oh, that's because they rented this today."
“…" A charter?"
"Yes. The advertiser of this ad borrowed the whole thing."
Jang Sunho speaks as if he's okay.
I had a lot of questions to ask. But even before I asked, Jang Sunho bowed down and greeted me.
"Hello, Mr. President."
Looking at Jang Sunho's greeting, I saw Oh Haneul, who had been covered by the pillar.
Still a warm impression, a strong air, and a bright bald head.
I was nervous about coming to such a high-end restaurant, but when I saw Oh Haneul's bald head, I felt calmer.
Manager Jang, thank you for coming. It's been a while since I saw actor Kang Jinseok. Thank you for coming even though you must be busy."
"No, thank you for calling me."
I looked around as I greeted him. It was to find the "CEO's acquaintance" that Jang Sunho said.
Oh Haneul smiled and said
"My friend said he was coming soon too… Oh, his coming."
Oh Haneul pointed behind me. I looked back slowly.
‘…What about him?'
It's definitely a guy I've seen before. However, I almost couldn't recognize it because the appearance was different from then.
The man reached out to me.
"Hello, actor. It's been a long time since I saw you. I've watched all the dramas you've appeared in so far. I also watched the trailer of "The Way They Chose" with great admiration
"Oh… Yes."
The man handed me his business card with a nice smile.
"This time, I came as the manager of the Korean branch of ‘Maserati'. It was thanks to the actor who got me up again at that time."
I received his business card with trembling hands.
"Park Jinsoo, head of Maserati's Korean branch."
Park Jinsoo.
He was the son of the first ghost I met, ‘Grandma'.
