Chapter 57
Me too?
I blinked my eyes in amazement at the sudden remark.
“OS Entertainment is a company that I’ve been building up from the bottom. We have enough capital, so there won’t be any minor problems. I guarantee you, there’s no company that’s more helpful to actor Kang Jinseok than us.”
“Oh, yes.”
It felt quite different from when I got a proposal from KL Entertainment.
At that time, I felt a little overwhelmed and repulsed, but now I’m excited.
I haven’t heard the detailed terms of the contract yet, but I felt something good. In addition, ‘Yoon Entertainment’, which Yoon Gayeon once represented, was a company I admired.
A company that values people over money.
It was the dream of many aspiring actors as well as me.
I took a moment to compose myself and tried to say, “Okay.”
At that time, Yoon Gayeon nodded and spoke in a serious voice.
“Well, I see. I must first present the terms and the vision before I say this.”
“····? Yes?”
Conditions and vision?
***
Yoon Gayeon, who suggested recruiting Jinseok. She pretended to be relaxed on the outside, but she was quite nervous on the inside.
“Kyungsoo said we had a meeting at KL Entertainment headquarters…”
Yoon Gayeon recalled the information she heard from Min Kyungsoo before coming here.
“You didn’t even sign a contract, did you?”
Of course, Jinseok had no intention of signing with KL Entertainment.
However, Yoon Gayeon, who did not know the fact, was bound to be worried.
First of all, I’ll have to say the conditions.’
I don’t know what conditions KL Entertainment offered, but Yoon Gayeon was confident in turning Jinseok’s mind.
“Well, I see. I must first present the terms and the vision before I say this.”
“···What?”
“First of all, please listen to our business plan. Then I will tell you the terms of the contract.”
When Jinseok asked back, Yoon Gayeon quickly continued.
“Just as Yoon Entertainment did, OS Entertainment will go out as a minority elite.”
Yoon Gayeon said while looking at the actors around her.
“And unlike other companies, we will allow our actors to interact with each other.” Like a team.”
“···.”
“We participate in works or advertisements together, and we also appear in works that we produce ourselves. Of course, the company will support the payment accordingly.”
The event made the surroundings noisy, but Yoon Gayeon’s voice was conveyed to everyone properly.
Min Kyungsoo, Lee Narin, and Park Woohyun just nodded their heads as if they had heard it once.
Han Jehoon and Lee Hyunah were surprised by the word “team” and were happily imagined.
Lastly, Jinseok.
“It’s very lengthy…”
There was nothing I wanted in particular because I had never received care in the first place.
It was enough to just give me a ride and take good care of my meal when I was filming. If you pay attention to the styling, it’ll be the icing on the cake.
“And there is a special condition I was going to tell you later.”
Yoon Gayeon approached Jinseok a little closer and whispered in a small voice.
“The ’10 million nursery’ where actor Kang Jinseok grew up.” OS Entertainment will support it.”
Jinseok, who was listening to Yoon Gayeon in a vague way, was slightly surprised.
“How do you know 10 million nurseries?”
“You have to understand all the actors you want to recruit. The Seongsu warehouse staff who worked part-time told me.”
“Oh, yes.”
“I heard you told an employee named ‘Kim’ before. If I make a lot of money in the future, I will rebuild the nursery building and send the children to the academy.”
“He remembered that.”
“Yes, and I heard that the reason you started acting was to find your parents.”
Yoon Gayeon said in a more serious voice.
“On that matter, OS International will do its best, not OS Entertainment.”
After this, Yoon Gayeon took a few steps away from Jinseok.
Other actors couldn’t tell what the two were talking about so seriously.
Yoon Gayeon said with a confident smile.
“How do you feel? We’ll have to talk about the details of the contract while looking at the contract
“I’ll sign a contract.”
“A verbal contract is also a contract, is that okay? The contract we’re giving you is a very common contract, though.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a little unfavorable. If I can be a good person and produce good works.”
“···.”
“In addition, I think you’ll pay a lot of attention to me.”
Yoon Gayeon smiled satisfactorily at Jinseok’s words.
“A good person and a good work…”
What Jinseok said now was the same as his management philosophy. In addition, he felt good because it seemed to be of great help to obtain information about Jinseok’s parents.
When the warm atmosphere continues. An unexpected interrupter appeared.
“···Hey, Jinseok. But you must look at the contract, man.”
It was Min Kyungsoo.
“Even though she looks like a wise mother-in-law, she’s a really tough person.” I used to sign a contract without knowing what to do, but my soul was divided by 12 hours of acting training a day.··”
Min Kyungsoo breaks the warm atmosphere.
Lee Narin covered her face with her hands as if embarrassed, and Park Woohyun sighed as if pathetic.
The two spoke at the same time.
“···· brother.”
“···· Senior.”
“What?”
“Let’s go eat. Don’t break the mood.”
“Go eat.”
Min Kyungsoo was kicked out.
***
The top floor of OS International headquarters.
Oh Haneul was on the phone with a smile.
“He signed a contract?”
[Yes, CEO]. [I think it was effective to focus on Kang Jinseok’s personal history]
“I see. Thank you for your hard work. Go to the end party.”
[It’s my job]
“Well done. I’ll see you later, then.”
“So far, it’s going according to plan.”
Kang Kyungsik, who was waiting for the call to end, asked Oh Haneul.
“CEO. Did she sign a contract with actor Kang Jinseok?”
“Yes, actors Min Kyungsoo, Lee Narin, Park Woohyun, Han Jehoon, and Lee Hyunah signed a contract as well.”
Kang Kyungsik nodded as if she had done well.
“Then I’ll have to hurry up and assign a manager. There are a few people who I have already put on the net.”
“Yes. Oh, speaking of that part, I think we only need to hire actor Kang Jinseok’s manager. Other actors are coming over with their manager now.”
“I see. Then, take a look at this.”
Kang Kyungsik handed Oh Haneul some resumes.
“They were team leaders or managers in other agencies. Because our company’s conditions are so good, they are willing to work as a manager. I’ve finished my background check, and they’re all ‘relatively’ clean people.”
“It’s relatively clean. Does that mean dust comes out when you shake it off?”
“Yes, the entertainment industry is all over the place.”I think I can’t help it. There are some people who are very clean, but they have not been tested yet
Oh Haneul, who heard Kang Kyungsik’s explanation, was deeply troubled.
‘Not everything can be perfect. But it’s stupid to take the risk of blocking it in advance.’
Kang Kyungsik waited calmly until Oh Haneul’s head was organized.
“Have you discussed with the vice president what kind of person you should use?”
“Yes, but the vice president also said that most managers and team leaders would have this much flaw.”
“I see.”
When Oh Haneul could not easily decide, Kang Kyungsik said carefully.
“Me, Mr. President.”
“What?”
“Why don’t we have a manager?”
“Grow up a manager. That’s an interesting suggestion. What kind of person are you going to take and raise?”
Kang Kyungsik hesitated for a moment.
“How about the staff of our company’s secretariat?”
Oh Haneul’s eyes were filled with joy.
“Because I’m an employee of our secretary’s office.”
The OS International Secretariat is a place where the best talent in Korea gathers.
Everyone is second to none, and they are disappointingly talented people with outstanding qualifications, personalities, and connections.
“They’re my friends, so they’ll quickly get used to the entertainment industry.”
“Well, I’m not ignoring the job of ‘manager’, but is there an employee in the secretariat who wants to be a manager?”
But the real problem could not be ignored.
There’s such a big difference between the titles “OS International Secretary” and “OS Entertainment Manager.”
No matter how much you pay, the difference is not easy to bridge.
Kang Kyungsik spoke calmly as if there were measures against it.
“It’s still just my idea, but there’s one employee who can say he’s going to work as a manager.”
“Really? Who is it?”
“Yes. Do you know this employee?”
Kang Kyungsik gave a profile of an employee.
A picture of a man in a suit with his mouth tightly closed and his waist straight.
Under the name of Jang Sunho, his career and history were organized in a good way at a glance.
“I’m sure this friend. Aren’t he the staff right underneath you
“That’s right. He’s an employee I’ve seen for a long time. He is good, and the ability to read ‘the board’ is excellent.”
“Yes. How many times have you told me before? When the chief of staff retires, he will be the next chief of staff.”
“That’s right.”
“But why does this kind of employee want to become a manager?”
Kang Kyungsik answered with a deep sigh.
“There’s a story I heard when the two of us had a glass of soju before. Eight years ago, this friend….”
Kang Kyungsik told Oh Haneul the story he had with Jang Sunho.
Oh Haneul, who heard Kang Kyung-sik’s story for a long time, said in a heavy voice.
“Hmmm.···. I can’t believe he was a friend who went through that.”
“How do you feel? Would you like to meet him?”
Oh Haneul stared at Jang Sunho’s picture.
It was a little rough appearance, but the energy from the eyes was not normal.
“Yes. Please schedule it right away.”
