Superstar Who Eats Everything

Episode 5_
I have to do some work

‘A thousand points?’

It was clear that the bonus points had also increased as the target points had increased from 100,000 to 1 million. How should I put it… …as if it reflected the inflation rate.

‘To collect 1,000 points from that side, you would have to win the Best Actor award at 7 awards ceremonies.’

A thousand points is an encouraging number. It’s a very good start.

After Yeo-Jun Yoo successfully completed the contract, the employees guided him around the company.

“This is a private practice room. If you apply a week in advance, you can use it.”

“wow.”

Legacy Entertainment Company, as befitting the number one entertainment agency, occupied an entire high-rise building in an area with high land prices. Wait, is Gangnam the prime land in this world too?

“omg.”

As I was looking around the company, I heard the employee who was guiding me swallow his breath.

‘Your expression doesn’t look good?’

I turned my head to follow his gaze, and saw a man walking towards me, wearing a vest and suit that did not suit the summer weather.

Looking at my employee ID, it said ‘Director Kim Il-je’. He was a very high-ranking person.

“Hello, Director Kim.”

“yes.”

A man named Director Kim stopped as he passed them.

“Is this the kid? The kid that Director Choi was so obsessed with?”

“yes.”

I thought the employees’ reaction was so intense, so rumors spread within the company.

Yeo-Jun smiled and greeted the man who was looking her up and down as if evaluating her.

“You’re so friendly. And… … If you keep growing like this, you’ll be no joke.”

“thank you.”

Contrary to the content, the emotions read from the voice were negative. Anxiety, discomfort, resentment, and… …restraint? To whom?

‘what?’

Are you saying that anyone feels negative emotions when they see this face? Oh, except jealousy and such.

“Tsk, the company isn’t a childcare facility… … .”

“yes?”

“See you next time.”

I was so sensitive to sound that I could clearly hear even the quiet mutterings of others. Not only was I good at reading emotions, but my ears were also sharp.

I guess it’s feelings toward the person who brought me here. Is it Choi Hae-na’s enemy? Yeo-Jun looked up at the employee who was sweeping his chest.

“What’s going on between him and Director Choi?”

“Huh, how did you know?”

“Just like that.”

Seeing the employee trying to pass it off as if he was dumbfounded, Yeo-Jun threw a tantrum like a child, saying he was curious and wanted to know.

“Um… … I’m in competition with Director Choi. Over the next CEO position.”

“aha.”

“Well, it’s none of your concern. Is there anywhere else you want to see?”

I guess the fight for succession is the same on both sides.

Yeo-Jun Yeo looked back with a blank expression. Director Kim had already gotten on the elevator and disappeared.

‘Well, as long as you don’t harm me, that’s fine.’

Could it be that their fight for succession would spill over to someone as low-ranking as me? Yeo-Jun walked away, holding the employee’s hand.

Among the trainee benefits, what I particularly liked was the trainee dormitory.

Even though there were a few older brothers who were of debut-worthy age, it was better than the orphanage or the house I lived in with my mom.

“Okay, the trainee I was talking about before. Woojun. Should I say hello?”

“wow!”

“He’s handsome.”

I thought the trainees who shared the dorms would be stingy with giving me my space, but surprisingly, they welcomed Yeo Jun-woo’s admission.

“Hello, brothers! Please take care of me!”

“Hey, don’t be like that.”

“Right, take it easy. If anyone sees us, they’ll think we’re keeping military discipline.”

The fact that these people are the ones who need to look good is probably because Choi Hae-na is the one who is the most popular, and because they are of different ages, they are not competitors for the debut group.

Besides, they say that their trainee life was so tough that they needed healing.

I quietly accepted their petting, thinking, “Am I a pet?”

Let’s not be foolish. Maybe one of them will succeed and give me a shower of rain.

“Hyun-do hyung.”

“ok…….”

“It’s seven o’clock now. Isn’t it too late?”

“omg!”

A few days passed like that. Yeo-Jun started to act like the youngest and blend in with the other trainees.

“I’ll be back, hyung!”

“huh.”

The male idol debut order of Legacy is slowly coming back, but since the debut group hasn’t been decided yet, everyone’s eyes are darkened.

But didn’t those kids come in at 3 in the morning?

“Ugh.”

Poor guys. I should at least do their laundry. Yeo-Jun opened the detergent container and poured it into the washing machine, grumbling.

In fact, it’s not just the trainees who are busy, but it seems like Yeo Woo-jun will be busy too.

I don’t know yet if I will debut as an actor. I sent my profile picture to places that need child models, and I heard that I got a good response from them.

‘This is why big companies are good.’

It’s something that will be done automatically without you having to go out and sell it yourself.

And it’s refreshing to be in the position of being cared for after always taking care of the celebrities I’m affiliated with.

<>

‘Ouch, that’s a surprise.’

Turn on the blinkers and come in. Yeo-Jun picked up the laundry he had dropped.

<>

‘I know, too.’

The scoring system for is complex yet simple: your fame as a celebrity is the top priority.

If you are a singer, you release an album and add up the sales, music rankings, etc.

What matters is how well the work is doing and what awards they receive at award ceremonies.

If you are an athlete or musician, you can do so by winning a medal or a competition award.

‘I have to do some work.’

You can earn points through pictorials and advertisements, but you don’t get many points from those.

It was lunchtime, so Yeo-Jun visited Legacy’s cafeteria.

The best thing about this company is that the cafeteria is free, so Yeo-Jun Yeo comes every day.

I have to stick to the diet of a professional nutritionist. This body may not have been blessed with height. Oh, but really, I shouldn’t do that.

“I heard that writer Lee Kyo-eun is returning this time?”

“There’s already a fuss about the return of the queen of genre detectives. Did we get an offer too?”

Yeo-Jun’s ears perked up as he sat down to eat his meal. He has sensitive ears, so he likes things like this.

“But it seems like the casting hasn’t been done yet. I heard they’re holding unofficial auditions.”

“Huh? If it’s Lee Kyo-eun, we can pick a good actor without having to audition separately, right?”

“They say they put a lot of effort into making a child actor.”

Child actor? Yeo-Jun Yeo turned his head. The ID cards of the people talking caught his eye.

‘One actor… … .’

It is an actor management company that merged with Legacy Entertainment. It has several top actors and is famous for managing the filmography of new actors to the point where it can develop them quite well.

“I guess the role is quite important?”

“No. I heard it only appears briefly in the beginning.”

“Huh? You’re auditioning for a role like that?”

Yeo-Jun sat down next to them.

“excuse me.”

“huh?”

“hello.”

“Oh, okay. Hello?”

When Yeo-Jun Yeo approached first, the employees’ eyes widened.

“You’re the trainee that Director Choi brought this time.”

“Are you as handsome as they say?”

“But you’re still so young and you’re already getting trained?”

“Where on earth do you get stuff like this?”

But will the news of a single trainee’s employment be known to other subsidiaries?

Choi Hae-na’s reputation must be great. Yeo Woo-jun hid his curiosity and got to the main point.

“Can I watch that audition too?”

“audition?”

“Yes. I overheard something.”

It was when I was Park Sung-hyun, and I had only been trapped in the infinite regression trap for a few rounds. It was early in the regression, so I didn’t know the future information yet, so it was difficult to secure investment funds.

Besides, I had a headache because of the acting of a guy who chose me as his management target just by looking at my face.

[Why on earth is this so difficult?]

Since I couldn’t train someone without any experience, I took acting lessons with that guy.

And I’ve even heard jokes that it would be better for the CEO to do it because of the actor’s acting that has no answer.

So, I’m not saying that I’m going to try it without any basis, but I can do the basics.

Besides, since you’re young, you’ll be praised for just getting your breathing and vocalization under control.

I looked it up and it seems like the pool of child actors here isn’t that good.

“How old are you?”

“Eight years old.”

The staff of the acting team took a close look at Yeo Woo-jun. A young child who was personally cast by Choi Hae-na, who is called the Midas Hand of the idol world.

Rumors about Yeo Woo-jun were even heard among the acting team.

I saw him a few times at a restaurant, and he seemed like a talented actor. People even said that he would be good at acting if asked to do so.

“The age range is perfect… … .”

“Aren’t your eyes really nice?”

“It’s right on our side.”

“But it’s not our child, can we take it?”

A company structure with clear distinction between idol teams and actor teams.

Director Choi worked hard to bring her here, so can he just take her and let her debut as an actress?

Yeo-Jun Woo wondered how he could persuade the employees who were hesitating.

“What are you talking about?”

At that moment, Kim Il-je intervened. The staff of One Actors, who recognized his ID card, stood up and greeted him.

“There’s a drama about a certain Lee Kyo-eun this time. I heard they’re having a hard time finding a child actor, but this kid said he wants to do it.”

“is it so?”

Kim Il-je locked eyes with Yeo Woo-jun.

‘Choi Hae-na tends to keep important cards hidden.’

He liked to keep the core members of the group he was producing completely secret and make a flashy debut. The members who made a splash like that always made it to the top.

Looking at the fact that he brought him in as a guardian, it seems like he wants to raise him as the core of the next group. What if he started consuming his image from a young age?

Kim Il-je wanted to somehow put a stop to Choi Hae-na’s plan.

“Should I give it a try? There’s no guarantee that I’ll pass the audition anyway, right?”

The staff of One Actors, who had been keeping an eye on Kim Il-je as he was also a key director of the idol team, were delighted.

The staff were excited and took Yeo-Jun away.

‘That guy’s a good guy, isn’t he? Whatever his intentions… he helped me.’

Yeo-Jun raised the corners of his lips. Regardless of the emotion read in Kim Il-Je’s voice, if he helped me, he was a good person.

Of course, if you were to count the days for me later, my attitude would be different.

.

.

.

Yeo-Jun Yeo followed the staff of One Actors to the acting team office. The familiar office air made him feel like he was back home.

“Who is that kid?”

“Oh, sir.”

The empty office was full, so a curious man knocked and came in. He had a sharp, eagle-like appearance.

“There’s a drama about a girl named Lee Kyo-eun this time, and they’re looking for a child actor. I’m going to send this kid over.”

“You didn’t just bring me here, did you?”

“No! He heard us talking while we were eating and he wanted to do it.”

“Oh my, I told you not to talk about work outside.”

“What’s the big deal? We’re part of the same family. Anyway, what do you think of this kid? He’s the trainee that Director Choi brought in.”

“The kid that Hannah brought?”

There was a sense of familiarity in the voice calling Choi Hae-na’s name. Only then did Yeo Woo-jun look up at the man observing him.

“Hey. He could be the casting director here. Hi. I’m Ko Seung-geon, the director of One Actors.”

He’s the director… … He’s someone who needs to look good from now on. Yeo-Jun bowed his upper body.

“Hello, I’m Yeo Woo-jun. How do you know Director Choi?”

“Friend. Hannah brags about you a lot.”

Ko Seung-geon thought of Choi Hae-na calling him excitedly, saying, “Seung-geon, I found a jewel.”

And I have even heard of people going to various organizations to ask for advice and complain about bringing back Yeo-Jun.

‘It’s better than I expected.’

Ko Seung-geon raised the corners of his mouth as he glanced at Yeo Woo-jun. The mask was exactly like that of an actor, and he was envious of that guy.

But, we need to check.

“Well, Woojun. If you said you’d do it impulsively, I don’t think I could allow it. Are you serious?”

“Yes. I want to act. What should I do?”

“Do you want to read this and recite the lines?”

He said he wanted me to recite my lines, but he just wanted to see me act. Yeo-Jun quickly glanced over the script he had handed her.

“Can I do it now?”

“as soon as?”

“yes.”

Yeo-Jun Yeo covered the script and opened his mouth. Soon, the eyes of those watching him grew wide.
