Chapter 779.

Sequence 5

Luck is supposed to appear rather sudden, but he didnt expect it to be this sudden.

When he was askedare you free right now through the phone, he replied that he was free, and he was told to come to the café in the lobby of the YBS building.

He complied without asking back any questions.

He only became curious about the purpose after he hung up, but his hesitation didnt last long.

He put his clothes on and drove over to YBS.

“Over here.”

Maru was sitting inside the café at the TV station.

“Whyd you call me all the way here”

“Why else Im here to give you your present.”

“Present”

“There she comes.”

Maru waved his hand at someone.

Hyungseok looked behind him.

A woman wearing ripped jeans was walking over.

The slightly angled short haircut went nicely with her intellectual-looking eyes.

If he met her at a nightclub, he might have tried to hit on her.

The woman entered the café, and before she sat down, she asked Maruis this him Maru just nodded in response.

“Hello.

Im Yoo Jayeon.”

The woman put her hand out suddenly.

He looked at her in a daze as he grabbed her hand.

Unlike how fair she looked, her hands were pretty rough.

If he grabbed her hand without looking at her face, he would be convinced that he was grabbing a mans hand.

“Im Yoon Hyungseok, but please excuse me, who might you be”

He hadnt heard anything, and he didnt want to wait around for an introduction either.

“It seems you havent heard.

Well, Im sure you must have been in a hurry since I told him to tell you to come right away.

I produce dramas for a living.”

Present and producing dramas – those two terms combined in his head.

He instantly understood what this was about.

He straightened up and looked back at Jayeon.

This stylish-looking woman was the producer who would decide whether or not he appeared in a drama.

“Is your dream to become an actor”

“Yes!”

“Dont act so stiff, and dont act nervous.

Actually, it might be better if you look at me like youre appraising me like you were doing before.

Though, my husband might get angry if he saw you doing that.”

“I apologize.

You were just my type.

But you were married You dont look like it.”

“Youre good at flattering people, huh I dont like such people.”

“Ill stay silent.”

Just exchanging a few words made him realize that he would not get anything in return if he tried to probe her out.

He drank some water and waited for her judgment.

Her round eyes centered in the middle of her eyes as though she was done appraising him.

“Your face is definitely the kind type.

You must be popular with the ladies.”

“I dont lose out wherever I go.”

“Since when did you start receiving acting lessons High school Middle school”

“After I got discharged from the military.

Its been a little over a year now.

Recently, Ive stopped going to acting school and instead started looking for part-time jobs as a background actor.

I thought Id learn more at the scene.”

“Whether its your clothes or your watch, they look pretty expensive.”

“I ran my own business in the past.”

“You must have earned a lot of money then”

“Ive earned enough to be able to challenge myself in other fields without hesitation.

But that doesnt mean that I lack desperation.”

“I didnt say anything.

Im just trying to find out what kind of person you are.

I was wondering just who you were that Maru brought you to me.”

“Ill do anything if you order me to do it.”

“You sound confident.

You havent done anything particular, have you”

“No, not yet.”

“Can I ask you to do a personal request”

“Sure.”

“Can you stand up right now and shout hurray three times”

Hyungseok saw Maru stroke down his face with his palm and nod.

That meant one thing: do it right now.

He immediately got up from his seat and raised his hands above his head.

Hurray, hurray, hurray – the people inside and outside the café all started looking at him.

The gazes of the ones looking at him prickled him a little, but Hyungseok acted indifferent.

Jayeon, who was looking at him with interest, gestured for him to sit down.

“Why did you do it”

“Because you told me to.”

“Are you going to die if I tell you to die”

“Thatd be difficult since I only have one life, but Ill gladly do something else.”

“You look smart, but youre pure in some areas.

Or maybe, there was a silent helper.”

She looked at Maru.

Maru went over to the counter, saying that hed order some coffee.

“Ill say this beforehand, but I dont use just anyone just because someone I know introduced them to me.”

“Of course, I would have it no other way.”

“You belong to thatjust anyone, Mr.

Hyungseok.”

“If you would give me an opportunity, Ill show you who I am.”

“Can you explain to me what I should see from a person who has never worked in this area before”

“My potential of course.

Thats the only thing I can hold out in front of you.

Honestly speaking, I felt confident until a while ago.

I thought that I was good at acting.

I have both the face and the skills, so I had the confidence that I would do well, even if its not in the immediate future.”

“Its been a while since I last saw someone who thinks so highly of himself.”

“I was just born that way; pride is all I have.

But I realized that its not that easy.

It dawned on me that my acting is just decent-looking counterfeit.

Thats why Im saying that the only thing I can show you is my potential.”

“Even if you tell me something so serious, theres not much I can do for you.

Im not sure what Maru told you, but minor actors are still actors.

If I give a call to Daehak-ro, there will be actors with several years of experience willing to come to play a minor role.

Those people are proven actors that I can trust.

When it comes to payment, Ill pay a similar amount to them as I will do to you.

Now then, who should I use”

“Id love it if you used me, but if thats not possible, I hope you can watch me at least once.

I believe that a current producers opinion should be enough for me to decide the direction of my acting career.”

“I hate grand requests like that.

Why do I need to become a guidepost to you, Mr.

Hyungseok Thats so much pressure on me.”

“If you dont like pressure, then you can just use me.”

Maru returned with the coffee.

Hyungseok sipped some of the coffee that he was given.

Although he was acting calm right now, he was inwardly feeling as nervous as when he was just assigned to his station in the military.

Should he have given her a better greeting at first Should he have talked more gently Should he have acted more humble The lucky chance came to him quite easily, but that didnt mean he wanted to let go of it easily as well.

“Mr.

Hyungseok, follow me.”

Jayeon stood up.

He received a tag that saidvisitor from the front desk and followed her inside.

He took the elevator with her to the 3rd floor and entered an empty office.

“Well then, shall I have a look”

Hyungseok opened the script that Jayeon gave him.

He quickly found where Jayeon was referring and started reading.

His armpits were on fire.

He said the lines out loud thinking that he must not make a mistake.

“It doesnt matter even if you do it while looking at the script.”

“Ill memorize it.”

“As you wish.”

He might only have one opportunity to show himself.

Only after he memorized it to the point that he could say the lines out loud with his eyes closed did he let go of the script.

The role he was going to play was that of a thug.

In this act, he would go rampant in the emergency room and get cornered by a doctor who didnt get frightened by a fist right in front of his eyes.

The doctor would talk back while looking straight at him and he would become docile.

He had seen many scenes like this in dramas.

Hyungseok decided to put his own colors on top of the base that he knew about.

It would be impossible to create a completely original piece, but it should be enough to engrave his own initials on the counterfeit product.

“Where dyou think youre lookinat, huh”

The next line was said by Jayeon.

“This is not a place where you can run rampant.

If youre injured, then show me the injury, and if you arent, then leave.

This is a place that saves peoples lives.”

“How dare you tell me whato do! This is the problem with educated people.

They need a beain to get their ** tgether.”

“If you feel like youll feel better after hitting me once, then go ahead.

Hit me and then leave.

Dont make this place more chaotic than it already is.”

“You damn punk!”

When he raised his hand in the air, Jayeon told him to stop.

Hyungseok stuck his tongue out and wet his lips.

His lips had shriveled up in that short amount of time.

The amount of tension was different from acting in front of an instructor to get advice.

She stopped midway.

Did this mean that she was dissatisfied with his act He had a lot to show her, so he felt that it was a pity.

“This doesnt suit you.

Youve never done acts like this, have you”

“No, this is my first time.”

“Thats why experience is important for actors.

You need to observe well and take what you learned out whenever you need to.”

“Then can I try another role”

“Youre quite shameless.”

“Theres one thing Ive learned during my sales business.

Its that putting up a thick face doesnt cost money.”

“Anything else you learned”

“That you cant go wrong with trying.”

Jayeon looked towards Maru.

“Where did you find a guy like this”

“If I was going to introduce anyone to you, producer, I cant bring someone ordinary since youd shower me with curses.

So, how is he”

“I like that hes obedient.

But hes definitely not thug material.

He has the guts, but he doesnt look like he has a bad nature.”

“You make the decision.

If you can make use of him, then use him.

If not, then oh well.”

“Youre quite merciless for someone who brought him here.”

“Youre not someone who would use someone you cant use.”

The two peoples words felt like the final verdict for him: youre no good, leave.

Hyungseok looked at the script on the table.

Would he have done better if he was asked to do something else When she said it didnt suit him, that hurt him more than he thought.

“You seemed to have practiced your pronunciation a lot.”

He was given a question.

Hyungseok got himself together and responded,

“I heard that my pronunciation becomes blurry if the lines are long, so I practiced.”

“What did you bite on to practice”

“A chopstick.

A wooden chopstick.”

“Didnt that hurt”

“I have to do it even if it hurts.

I cant become an actor who cant speak.”

“But what a pity.

The role youre going to play barely has any lines.”

“The role Im going to play”

“The thug was already assigned to someone else, so I never planned on giving it to you in the first place.

Not anyone can play thugs.

The face is important.

Someone with your face can only play a thug with an incredible level of acting skill.”

Jayeon stood up with the script.

“If youre okay with being an image actor, then lets work together.

You may or may not have lines.

Youll be an actor hired to fill the background.

If you do it, youll be wearing a doctor gown as an intern.”

“Then Ill be appearing in the drama”

“Were you planning not to How else are you going to show up Are you going to do it”

“I will.”

“Try polishing that shameless tone of yours.

I might use it depending on the situation.”

“Thank you.”

“Dont thank me already.

You never know what will happen on a drama set.

I might be saying this now, but dont come crying to me later if I dont call you in the future.

You come if the assistant director calls you, and if not, then you just have to wait for the next opportunity.

Dont resent me just because you didnt make it.”

“I wont.”

“If you do, Ill kill you.

As for your pay, youll be paid according to the rules of the TV station, so Ill tell you the details once its decided that youll be in it.

But youre in a low grade, so you wont get much.

Dont expect anything.”

“I dont care about the money.”

“Oh, you said you earned enough money, huh.

Thats good.

Ill call for you if we ever run out of budget, so wait for it.”

Jayeon left the office while picking up a call.

“Good for you.”

“This isnt a dream, is it”

“Just as the producer said, dont have too high hopes.

It might not work out.”

“But still, it means that I passed, didnt I I was worried that she might reject me instantly.”

Hyungseok opened his arms and rushed towards Maru.

He never expected him to actually introduce him to a producer at a real TV station.

Did he like Han Gaeuls autograph that much Maru turned around, dodged his arms, and then opened the door.

“If you make it, just treat me to food with the money you get.”
