Possessed 10 Million Actors - Chapter 109

‘OS Entertainment Open Audition…?’

Jang Sunho is not surprised that OS Entertainment is holding open auditions. It’s natural for entertainment agencies to hold auditions to find new talent.

However, the reason Jang Sunho was surprised was because of the content in the middle of the document.

‘You’re holding an audition in conjunction with the BDD broadcasting station? And that too in the form of entertainment?’

Like singer or idol audition programs, OS Entertainment’s open audition was an ‘actor audition program.’

While Jang Sunho was quickly scanning the documents, Yoon Gayeon smiled and said.

“This is an audition that anyone who dreams of becoming an actor can apply, as long as they have no criminal history, including age, gender, and education. Among them, actors with potential will sign a contract with us and be trained as actors.”

Anyone can apply, and it is an audition that leads directly to debut.

It was an audition that every actor could, or should, attempt. It will be a huge competition, but it is an opportunity that cannot be given up.

“The applicant who wins first place in the audition will be cast in writer Cho Seokwon’s next work, which will be aired on BDD next year. In addition, several directors and producers will participate, so if there is an actor they like, they will be able to cast it autonomously.”

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Sunho Jang asked Gayeon Yoon.

“I think it will be a fun project. I just have one question, who will be the judges? In an audition like this, the judges would also be important. “I guess it hasn’t been decided yet?”

“It’s not confirmed, but the rough composition has been decided. We are planning to add about four more actors from our company. “Are there directors or PDs who are familiar to the public?”

Drama director, star writer, Netflix PD, senior acting coach, agency representative, and current actor.

Looking at the lineup, which felt a bit excessive, I could see that CEO Oh Haneul was sincere about this audition.

“We plan to recruit at least ten new people through this audition. “To compete with KL Entertainment, the quality of actors is important, but numbers are also important.”

“Come to think of it···. “You said you were holding this audition because of KL Entertainment.”

“Yes. The CEO instructed us to take away all of KL Entertainment’s ‘No. 1’ modifiers. So, first of all, I want to take away the title of ‘No. 1 actor.’ Of course, it’s not possible to recruit just anyone.”

Jang Sunho thought carefully in his mind.

‘In that case, it would be most effective to bring in actors from KL Entertainment… ‘You don’t look like a CEO.’

People know Oh Haneul as a kind and virtuous businessman, but the Oh Haneul that Jang Sunho knew was never that kind of person.

That doesn’t mean he’s a bad person, of course. It is a thoroughly calculated and cool-headed company.

But Jang Sunho said nothing about this.

Just like Yoon Gayeon, it was clear that Oh Haneul had some intentions that she was unaware of.

“By the way, Vice President. May I know why you are telling me this? “I don’t think you gave it to me just to look at it.”

“Oh, I didn’t tell you that. actually···.”

Gayeon Yoon trailed off, smiled charmingly, and spoke to Jang Sunho as if inviting him to do so.

“The CEO said he would like Team Leader Jang Sunho to supervise this audition.”

“… .”

“He also said that if the team leader is in charge, the plan can be modified as the team leader wants.”

Jang Sunho smiled helplessly at Yoon Gayeon’s words.

‘Was it my job to handle it from the beginning?’

In any case, a fun project like this was welcomed by Jang Sunho. More than anything, if it was a fight with KL Entertainment, I wanted to step up even if I wasn’t told to do so.

Jang Sunho held the documents tightly and spoke confidently.

“I will definitely prepare.”

The first day of filming <Absolute Unlicensed Counseling>.

The pre-filming examination, which can usually be seen at any filming location, was in progress for a long time.

“Please make sure we can finish this shoot without any problems!”

“I hope no one gets hurt and we finish without incident!”

After several staff members came forward as representatives and said goodbye.

“Guys! “Now let’s sort things out!”

A senior staff member shouted loudly. Then Jang Sunho, who was standing next to me, spoke in a relaxed voice.

“How are you feeling today?”

“Oh, I was so excited that I slept a little late last night, but I’m in really good condition. Rather…”

He looked at Jang Sunho’s face and spoke carefully.

“Manager, what’s going on? It seems like you have dark circles these days… “I think you’ve lost some weight.”

“I’m sorry for bothering you. “I’ve recently taken on a new job, and I think that’s why I’m so busy.”

Jang Sunho continued speaking with a faint smile as if he was okay.

“By the way, actor. Would you ever consider serving as an audition judge or something?”

“An audition judge? “What does that mean…”

Knock knock.

Someone tapped my shoulder from behind. It feels like carefully poking the cheek of a newborn baby.

I looked back. It was Yeo Hyemin. She was wearing a pure white dress that I had seen before. Although he felt it at the time, the combination of her white face and pure white dress matched surprisingly well.

“Ah, Yeo Hyemin is here. “Please perform well today.”

When she bowed her head, she showed her own notes.

-Hello. Please enjoy today’s filming.

Then she immediately turned the back page. I can see the words written in advance.

-Yes. Did you eat?

“···Rice?”

She tilted her head and asked at the unexpected mention of rice. Yeo Hyemin looks at me blankly.

“It says in the note that she ate.”

As I pointed to the notebook, Yeo Hyemin hurriedly looked at her notebook. Then, with her red face, she quickly wrote something down in her notebook and showed it to me.

-Sorry. I wrote down the answers to the questions you might ask in advance, but I showed them incorrectly.

A somewhat sloppy handwriting with a clear look of embarrassment.

“Heh…”

When I saw that, I smiled without knowing. Of course, I didn’t mean to ridicule or anything like that. It was just fun to have the answers written down in advance.

Yeo Hyemin’s face became even redder at my laughter and looked like a ripe apple.

-I’m so nervous because it’s my first shoot. If I do something wrong or make a mistake, please tell me right away.

“Haha. I’m not skilled enough to say anything to other actors. Let’s just work hard and have fun together. “I think you can do well.”

Just as the cleanup was over, the staff member who rushed to lead Jinseok and Yeo Hyemin informed them of the progress.

“Ready to shoot! Actor Kang Jinseok and Yeo Hyemin, please stand by!”

“Then shall we go?”

Nod. Nodding her head vigorously, Hyemin followed Jinseok, clinging to his back.

Room Bar near KL Entertainment.

“Ugh… “I think I’m a little drunk.”

Kim Hyungbin muttered as he poured the liquor straight into his mouth. Just as Kim Hyungbin was about to refill the glass he had emptied in one go.

“Director 4. How many days has it been already? “I just keep drinking like this.”

Director 5, who was sitting across from Kim Hyungbin, stopped Kim Hyungbin.

“What. “What are you saying to me now?”

“···.”

“No matter how similar our relationship is, Director 5 can’t do that. You and I are seniors and juniors… !”

Director 5 looked at Kim Hyungbin, who spoke with his half-twisted tongue as if he were pitiful.

Kim Hyungbin didn’t like the way Director 5 looked at him, but right now his only focus was on alcohol.

“Still, I thought we could talk, so I called… If you’re going to act like this, get out of here. “

Hyungbin Kim looked at Director 5 with drunken eyes. Director 5 seemed to have no intention of giving the bottle of alcohol, so he placed it next to himself.

“Under… Fuck you. hey! hey!! “Is there anyone outside?”

Kim Hyungbin cursed and shouted outside. Then the door slowly opened and a waiter in a simple suit came in.

“Yes, boss. “Did you call me?”

“Let’s send this bastard out and bring in the best kids today… .”

While Hyungbin Kim was speaking, Manager 5 cut him off and spoke to the waiter.

“It’s done. This person drinks a lot. sorry.”

The waiter looked at Manager 5 and Kim Hyungbin alternately and forced a smile as if the situation was familiar.

“Ah… yes. “Then let’s go out.”

“For a moment. Still, I called and had to tell him to do something. Let me buy you some hangover reliever and coke. “Tip the rest.”

Manager 5 took out several checks from his wallet and gave them to the waiter. This is a huge amount of money, considering that you usually get paid 100,000 won at most or 50,000 won for this kind of errand.

The waiter bowed deeply and politely accepted Manager 5’s check.

“Thank you, boss! “I will assist you right away!”

When the waiter left, Kim Hyungbin spoke in a crooked manner.

“You threw away a lot of money. Is there anything good happening? “The 5-year-old salty manager spends money like that.”

“Stop talking nonsense. How long are you going to keep doing this? “Aren’t you going to work?”

“Day? What the fuck happened. Do I want to work now? “I can’t show up at work because of that bastard Kang Jinseok?”

“… .”

“Yesterday, the assistant manager in Room 3 also smiled at me. A kid with no blood on his head… “I should have ripped the ink out of his eyes.”

Although the words were rough, Kim Hyungbin’s voice had no strength. That’s because, as Kim Hyungbin just said, his status and reputation have fallen to the ground.

“Fuck… ”

Hyungbin Kim put a cigarette in his mouth. Then he took out his Zippo lighter from his inner pocket.

Tick. Tick ​​tick. There was no fire, perhaps because the fuel had run out.

“Holy shit! “Nothing works!”

Hyungbin Kim threw the lighter hard against the wall. It was an expensive lighter that he cherished, but he didn’t care about it at all now.

“Whoa… .”

Hyungbin Kim sighs deeply. Director 5 waited until Kim Hyungbin calmed down before opening his mouth.

“Director 4. Are you going to give up like this?”

“What?”

“I’m asking if you’re going to get lost and run after like this. “Isn’t it a waste of effort to get to that position?”

At the serious words of Director 5, Kim Hyungbin glared at him, chewing the cigarette in his mouth.

“So what do you want to say?”

“The reason the director and I are like this right now is because of Kang Jinseok. But Kang Jinseok is doing well.”

When Kim Hyungbin heard the name ‘Kang Jinseok’, his stomach seemed to turn.

But.

Rather than getting angry, he felt that it would be better to listen to Director 5.

“Are you going to just watch like this?

Hyungbin Kim poured a cup full of cold water and drank it. As the cold water flows down his esophagus, he comes to his senses a little.

“Are you just going to watch? There is no way, there is no way! If you do something useless and make a mistake again, then it’s really over. Just let Director 3 solve it…”

“Why isn’t there one?”

While Kim Hyungbin was speaking as if he was complaining.

“… ?”

“There is still one step left.”

Director 5 cut off Kim Hyungbin’s words and spoke calmly.

“There is someone willing to help us.”

“They are going to help us?”

“Yes.”

Although Kim Hyungbin and Director 5 have lost a lot of status due to various failures, they are not so broken that anyone dares to say they will “help.”

He must be of considerable skill to offer to help Kim Hyungbin and Director 5.

“Who is that?”

When Kim Hyungbin asked cautiously, Director 5 smiled and answered.

“It’s Director 1.”
