1st year Max Level Manager chapter 553

Director Na Taeyang 2

Director Na Tae-yang, who made the phone call, suddenly apologizes.

- Manager Jung. Sorry. Park Sang-gyu's acting impressed me so much that I highly recommend it... I was rejected by the distributor without even seeing the acting video.

Director Na Taeyang did not do well at the box office because of the casting mistakes in his previous works.

So this time, he decided to write an S-class actor.

That was the opinion of his older sister, Na Su-ji, the production manager.

So, out of the actors who sent the audition video up to today, I tried to meet the head of the distribution company by selecting only 5 S-class actors.

However, on the way to the dinner table, Na Su-ji, the production manager, changed his mind.

As Park Sang-gyu's acting continued to come to mind, he added Park Sang-gyu's audition video to the S-class actor's audition video and signed a distribution sign.

It is said that it was presented to NEX Media's general manager Jang Hoon.

However, General Manager Jang Hoon said that he did not even watch the video of Park Sang-gyu and cut it off with a single knife.

It was the reason for the drop.

”Without watching the audition video?”

It was often the case when the power of the distributor was greater than the director, but it was absurd to not even see the acting.

Still, if I'm lucky out of the misfortune, it's that I was recognized by director Taeyang.

It was.

I couldn't give up like this, so I tried to ask you to look at it again.

But it was then.

Director Na Tae-yang hesitated and started talking about the main point that called me.

-And there, actually... Ha~ Jin

I'm sorry about this, but NEX Media Group's general manager, Jang Hoon, in charge of the distribution, wants to meet with Jung. Do you have time now?

”Aren't you Sang-gyu, not me?”

-Yes. As I was talking, Director Jeong's name came up, so he even made the fire even when he asked me to stab Lee Tae-poong, who is being held by Director Jeong instead of Sang-gyu, to see if he could cast I called.

'Aren't you crazy?'

Even though he was the general manager of NEX Media Group, the third largest distributor in the industry, it was a very rude request.

Asking me to cast Lee Tae-poong, who didn't even apply for the audition, is because it's an act of feeding other actors who have already applied.

It was such an absurd request, so I cut it out and drew a line.

”I'm sorry, but that seems difficult. After this project is over, typhoon has to take a break, and I didn't even apply for an audition, but I'm worried about what's going on behind the scenes when I'm cast.

-Haa... Then how did you do this... .

When I heard director Na Tae-yang's troubled voice, my mind also became complicated.

The head of the distribution company rejected Park Sang-gyu as an unknown actor, but Na Tae-yang

This is because the director and production manager Na Su-ji favored Park Sang-gyu's acting.

'Is there no way?'

In an instant, a strange thought came to mind.

That is, once you say you will find out, go to the scene, show Park Sang-gyu's acting somehow, and convince the distributor.

And if I don't even think about Park Sang-gyu's acting, I'll try to persuade the director to change the distributor.

To do that, I first checked the current situation.

excuse me Director. Do you have to do distribution with NEX Media?”

-Well, that's not necessarily the case, but my sister, Na Su-ji, the production manager, is from NEX, so it's easy to get money and it's easy to get benefits from distribution. Other distributors told me to make the script my own, and have another director as the director.

Director Na Tae-yang said that the last three films did not do well at the box office, so he is under pressure to skip the script.

A ray of light comes in

Then, after meeting the head of the distribution company and persuading them a little more, I think it will work even if I ask to change the distributor.

Because there are lines on the distributor side that I know.

then First, please tell General Manager Jang Hoon that I am looking for you.”

Director Na Taeyang speaks with a happy voice.

-Now this is a Chinese restaurant called Hwaryong... .

”Oh, I know where it is. I will leave right away.”

-Yes. I'm going to tell the manager, so you can just say you've come to see me.

I hung up the phone and went back to the hospital room.

Then I told Park Sang-gyu, who was taking care of my wife, that I would see you next week.

If you can change the distributor, it is because the possibility of becoming the main character of ; Doppelganger did not disappear at all.

brother. Take good care of yourself, and I'll call you again. and next monday

Let Ace Enter terminate the contract at work.”

Park Sang-gyu nodded his head.

okay. thanks for your effort. and Thank you so much for today. what you did to me I will never forget it for the rest of my life.”

I grinned and smiled.

Next, I told Jeong Sang-bong to leave the site immediately, and then headed to the Chinese restaurant 'Hwaryong'.

半

Chinese restaurant Hwaryong.

We arrived at the high-end breeding restaurant, which is also the regular home of writer Lee Ji-yeon.

The manager with a familiar face greets me with a smile.

”Chief Jeong. I heard the news. Congratulations on your promotion.”

thank you.

”Come over here. Director Na and General Manager Jang are waiting.”

I follow writer Lee Ji-yeon and come here often, so now I am treated like a VIP.

I followed the manager to the 3rd VIP room.

slurp.

The manager opens the door with a golden dragon on a red background.

Director Jang Hoon of NEX Media Group, director Na Tae-yang, and his older sister Na Su-ji, production manager, were drinking Pu'er tea.

Hello. This is Jung Yunho, the head of Holgoongso Entertainment.”

Director Na Tae-yang and production manager Na Su-ji set the tea they drank and were greeted.

welcome. Manager.”

”My name is Na Su-ji.”

After saying hello to the two of them, General Manager Jang Hoon, who was sitting across from them, held out his hand.

Director Jang Hoon, who turned 40 this year, is the successor of the NEX Media Group, and was familiar with Gapjil.

This is because the NEX media group he led was the third largest in the distribution industry after CK Enter and LT Enter.

”Is this your first time with Director Jung?”

Yes. Chief. I've heard a lot of rumors. It is an honor to meet you. here.

When he handed the business card, General Manager Jang Hoon looked at the business card and smiled.

”Are you carrying nice business cards?”

Hearing the tone go up, it's the tone of a manager using such a high-quality business card.

However, NEX Media Group is going to be doing quite well in the future, so I answered without saying anything at first.

”I got a present.”

okay? You must have had good friends.”

'Yes. I can't even compare it to you.'

We hadn't met much face-to-face before the return, but I'm not the type that I like now as I was back then.

The man who was fiddling with the business card with his fingertips asks as if he remembered it too late.

”Have you eaten?”

no. Not yet.”

”Then come along. here is the food

do well.”

”Ah, I don't think I can eat because I have a schedule. I'll just have a cup of tea.”

okay? Well then, do what you like.”

After ordering tea, General Manager Jang Hoon asks me directly from the main point.

”By the way, did you hear the story? If you send Lee Tae-poong, I'll put you in the lead role right away without an audition. The performance fee is roughly set at around 600 million won. how?

Hearing his urgent proposal

He said it as politely as possible.

”Thank you for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem like casting without auditioning. And since the filming of 'Mt. Jirisan' and the filming of 'Mukbang Pleasure Team' overlapped, it seems that filming for a new movie should take a little break.”

For a moment, General Manager Jang Hoon frowned slightly.

”Hey, Chief Jung. i hate wheat If you're negotiating the fee, don't argue, how much? How much do you need?

”It's not like that, Chief.”

General Manager Jang Hoon tapped the cup he was drinking.

and put it down

”Then why are you here? Did you not come here to protest that your company doesn't use an unknown actor like Park Sang-gyu?

”It doesn't even matter. But I'm talking about it, our actor Park Sang-gyu. He's the best fit for the lead role in this movie. Still, there is equality with other actors, so please only audition. You will fall in love with it when you see him perform.”

General Manager Jang Hoon snorts.

”Anyway, all managers are like this.

are you You know all the actors are good. Hey, don't you even think about our position, where we might suffer damage from using an unverified actor?”

I just cut it off.
