Chapter 14

“Are you speaking concerning the look price?”

If you happen to seem in a piece, you naturally obtain an look price. Nonetheless, this was the primary time I had negotiated an look price like this.

Earlier than, I used to be all the time notified on this manner: ‘@@ position / minor position/filming time 10 hours (2 days) / 80,000 received (per episode).’

‘The looks price for <Dream of the Solar Rising> was initially 300,000 received. This time, the quantity is way bigger, so can I say it at an identical stage?’The origin of this chapter’s debut might be traced to N0v3l–B1n.

Whereas I used to be fortunately eager about it, PD Na Jinho mentioned in an apologetic voice.

“Usually, you need to speak about this along with your company, however once I checked out his profile, Jinseok Kang doesn’t have an company. So he ended up speaking to me immediately, which doesn’t make me really feel snug.”

“Ah sure.”

I answered, however truthfully, I didn’t actually hearken to PD Na Jinho’s phrases. It was as a result of the phrase ‘look price’ saved lingering in my thoughts.

‘It might be nice if it was round 300,000 to 400,000 received per episode.’

300,000 to 400,000 received per episode was an look price that I had solely dreamed of till now. I normally movie for about 10 hours a day, so wouldn’t that be 30,000 to 40,000 received per hour?

‘Extremely high-quality human sources.’

After I was alone with my creativeness, author Jo Seokwon spoke.

“We invested loads within the set and different manufacturing elements, so there isn’t lots of finances left. Nonetheless, it’s a chance to work with actually nice actors, so please settle for it generously.”

Author Jo Seokwon’s phrases made my thoughts extra confused.

‘300,000 to 400,000 received is perhaps an excessive amount of. Let’s simply be happy and deal with showing if it’s much like earlier small roles. Even when it’s a bit missing, I’m joyful to obtain it.’

It was then.

“All we can provide is 1 million received. Nonetheless, I hope Kang Jinseok takes on this position. It is probably not a passable look price.”

Producer Na Jinho mentioned considerably apologetically.

In fact, I didn’t perceive PD Na Jinho like that.

‘···Why are you sorry?’

I had no complaints. As a result of 1 million received was greater than I anticipated.

The second you need to take part within the work,

Producer Na Jinho spoke to author Jo Seokwon.

“Author. If this undertaking goes effectively, you may handle Kang Jinseok sooner or later, proper?”

“Certain. Not solely can I like to recommend my very own work, however I may advocate it to writers I do know. I’ve a large community of individuals.”

“Thanks. Because of the writer, I even have some face-to-face. Now then, Jinseok Kang. Let’s set it at 1 million received this time, and let’s gather the looks price correctly subsequent time. how is it?”

Author Jo Seokwon will proceed to handle me.

This was a very sudden bonus. Since I had no purpose to refuse, I instantly nodded my head sharply.

“Sure! Thanks! Actually, it’s greater than I believed… It’s actually okay. thanks!”

Producer Jinho Na laughed together with author Seokwon Jo, as if he was glad.

“Haha···. thank god. Then, I’ll calculate the looks price as 1 million received per episode.”

The dialog stopped for a second at PD Na Jinho’s phrases.

‘May or not it’s 1 million received… 1 million received per episode?’

I ordered a bowl of Jjajangmyeon, nevertheless it felt like I used to be served fried dumplings or moderately candy and bitter pork.

As I used to be blinking with pleasure and embarrassment, PD Na Jinho mentioned with a giant smile.

“Right now’s audition is over. We could go get one thing to eat? If Jinseok just isn’t busy, let’s go collectively. I’ll go.”

I regarded on the clock on the wall. There was nonetheless lots of time left till my part-time job.

In my present temper, I felt like I might be full even with out consuming, however I couldn’t miss this chance.

“Sure, I’m grateful that you just invited me.”

***

‘How can I be full even when I don’t eat…’

‘Come to think about it, this outfit was tailored for me, courtesy of the shop supervisor’s suggestion for a profile photograph.’

They hadn’t disclosed the price of customization, however clothes of this caliber seemingly got here with a hefty price ticket.

‘I’ll need to settle the invoice as soon as I obtain the looks price for this undertaking.’

Rising from the lounge, I encountered a bustling cafe. Quite a few clients had arrived whereas I used to be altering.

“I’m right here.”

I addressed the supervisor, who was engrossed in coffee-making.

“Uh, okay. We have now lots of clients proper now, so let’s make it fast.”

“Sure.”

Immediately, I checked the order receipt.

‘Café latte, with latte artwork formed like a rosetta?’

As quickly because the order was confirmed, the espresso machine hummed to life. Pouring milk in, I expertly crafted a leaf design, and it was prepared.

“Right here you go, retailer supervisor.”

Handing over the completed espresso, the supervisor nodded in admiration.

“Wow… Jinseok, you’ve bought fairly a expertise. There’s nothing extra to show you. Stick with it.”

“Haha… Because of your steerage, retailer supervisor.”

“I’m not simply saying this, however I believe you’re as expert as most baristas. Actually, you’re even higher than me.”

The shop supervisor grinned with satisfaction.

“…You two are a delight to serve. Some clients generally is a bit difficult to deal with.”

At that second, Search engine marketing Yeonsu, showing a bit weary, chimed in with refreshing vitality.

“Supervisor, please don’t distract Jinseok. Let’s take orders shortly. Brother, sufficient taking part in round—make the espresso.”

“Huh? Oh, proper. My apologies.”

Subsequently, clients continued to trickle in. I discovered myself immersed within the rhythm of making ready espresso and drinks, and earlier than I knew it, closing time was approaching quickly.

The cafe remained bustling with quite a few clients, leaving little area for brand new orders. The boss turned to me and prompt, “Jinseok, let’s get a head begin on cleansing through the downtime. There aren’t many shoppers in entrance of the TV over there, so begin from that space.”

“Certain.”

I headed in direction of the sizable TV within the nook, carrying cleansing provides. As I casually went about my activity, clients started pointing and whispering.

‘What’s happening?’

Perplexed, I provided a clumsy smile and glanced round. The murmurs from the friends grew louder, making it difficult to discern their phrases.

“Isn’t that him? Proper?”

“No surprise. Hey, didn’t I inform you? If a good-looking particular person like that isn’t a celeb, then who else would?”

“Actually? Is that really my brother?”

“OMG… Oh my god. I’m posting it on Instagram proper now.”

Visitors took turns glancing on the TV alongside me.

‘What’s taking part in on TV…’

I turned my head and directed my consideration to the display.

[···Since he is still a rookie, he is acting while working part-time. In the meantime, I work really hard at acting. He is also very polite.]

The tv showcased an episode of <The Speak Present>, that includes seniors Narin Lee and Kyungsoo Min. On the display, my profile image occupied half the body, prominently displaying me within the ‘cafe part-time job uniform’ I used to be at the moment carrying.

‘Actually… Now that I give it some thought, at the moment was the published day.’

In a daze, I halted in entrance of the TV.

Click on! Click on!

Clients promptly began taking footage of me.

It felt like encountering a celeb.
