Ten Million Psychopath Actor

61. 13th Dream Meogines (2)

‘Jijon’ reached the final score of 8.04 million viewers.

[How did the supreme (至尊) 8 million viewers bewitched l Han Kyung-net]

[Over 8 million blue-and-French films, the reason why men are so enthusiastic?]

For about two months, Jijon (至尊) managed to break through 8 million viewers and end the box office blast. He came out with a 19 gold label and wrote a new history in the box office success of Korean and French films.

Following the first rank of ‘Whistleblower’, which mobilized 9 million viewers, the previous ranking of blue-and-blue films, pushed out ‘The Man Next Door’, which was originally in second place, with 6 million viewers, and Jijon (至尊) rose to the new second place.

Stella Entertainment was truly festive.

As the contribution to team leader Han Jeong-hee, who discovered outstanding actors from unknown, Song Kyu-ha, was recognized, the team manager was maintained, but the position was promoted to director.

For this reason, to commemorate Han Jeong-hee’s promotion and reaching the highest rank of 8 million, a total of 6 people including Han Jeong-hee, Jung Seol-ah, Jeong Seol-ah’s manager Park Hyeon-ah, manager Lee Bong-gu, Jeong So-ra, and Kyu-ha decided to hold a small celebration party.

The place is a high-end tuna restaurant near the company that team manager Han Jeong-hee reserved.

When Kyu-ha arrived, the other four had already arrived and were chatting.

“Oh, are Gyuha and Bonggu here?”

“You all came early.”

“It’s called tuna, but you have to come quickly! How much did you expect?”

“hello! manager! No, should I call you Director? Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Bong-gu trembled.

“Oh, Bong-gu, you two are really good. It’s the same as changing positions, so can you just call me team leader?”

Since it was a celebration, the conversation flowed in a friendly atmosphere from beginning to end.

Before I knew it, a waitress dressed in traditional Japanese attire put each neatly plated dish on the table.

“wow! Look at the food quality. Certainly expensive places are different.”

“Look at how they glisten with tuna oil.”

“I will eat well, chief! And congratulations once again.”

“Everything is thanks to you. Everyone, eat a lot.”

“On this fine day, drinking is indispensable. I’ll pour you a drink.”

The manager, Bong-gu, poured the sake as he noticed.

“Okay, team leader Han Jeong-hee’s promotion! To achieve the highest eight million viewers~”

“For~”

After one shot, everyone exclaimed as they chewed the tuna sashimi set in their own way, such as seaweed and ginger, placed on the plate in front of them.

“Ugh~ It melts in your mouth.”

“Keuh~ Oh ho ho, it tastes better because it’s a good thing!”

The atmosphere of the drinking party was ripe, and each of them started to bring out the stories that were deep inside.

“I’m talking about it now, but when I saw Kyu-ha for the first time and offered him a contract, I thought he would accept it right away? But even after a week, there is no contact. At first, did you already take them from another agency? What a shitline! But when I got a call from Gyuha, the world couldn’t be that happy. Ho ho ho.”

Jeong Seol-ah’s eyes widened as if she didn’t know there was a behind-the-scenes casting.

“Oh, really, boss? To be honest, I’m not talking about it because it’s our company, but for those who dream of becoming actors, Stellar is always considered a wannabe company.

“It wasn’t a small role, and in fact, I wasn’t even a full-time actor at the time. I went to help for a while at the request of the director.”

“Looking at things like that, I guess there really is such a thing as destiny. Kyuha oppa was destined to become an actor.”

“When I think about it now, it really seems like fate. It’s not wrong to say that when coincidences overlap, they become destiny. By the way, Seol-ah, how are you these days?”

When Kyu-ha asked about Seol-ah Jeong’s current situation, manager Park Hyun-ah spoke excitedly as if she had been waiting.

“Seol-ah unnie, Rocco is a rising trend these days. This time, I was cast as the lead in director Cha Min-jung’s new movie!”

“Hey~ Seol-ah, congratulations. As expected, he has a strong acting base, so he seizes a chance somehow!!”

Jeong Seol-ah blushed as if she was ashamed when the focus suddenly came to her.

“It’s all thanks to the team leader and oppa who helped me a lot… I really think of you as my life’s benefactors. I am serious.”

Manager Bong-gu also added.

“I’m going crazy too. They say you get three chances in life. I’m sure that starting my managerial career at Stellar was one of them. That’s why Kyuha hyung and the company are so good. I’m happy.”

Jeong Seol-ah and Lee Bong-gu’s sincere words made Han Jeong-hee’s nose tickle for no reason and shouted a toast.

“ruler! We all met through a very good relationship, so let’s toast!”

“Cheers~”

It was such a good night that even Kyuha thought it would be nice to get drunk on this day.

***

After becoming Pankration champion in Thasos, Meogines sailed to Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki was one of the largest polises in Greece, comparable to Athens, the largest polis. As the population was large and the citizens were generally affluent, Pankration was very popular.

A huge Agora located in the center of Thessaloniki.

Gorgeous statues were placed all over the plaza, and countless people roamed around quickly according to their own business.

Standing beneath the statue of Helios, the god of the sun, Meogines, who boasts a stocky physique at a glance, was standing there, and someone approached and talked to Meogines.

“Are you Megynes? As you can see, you’ve been trained very well. I heard about the Iliad. formally say hello I am Jupiter, who is in charge of the Pankration match here in Thessaloniki.”

Jupiter, who was as tall as Megynes, but with a lean build, smiled kindly and asked Meogines to shake his hand.

“Nice to meet you. It is called Megynes.”

“hahahahaha I heard you want to have a Pankration match with Champion Homeus, is that right?”

“Yes, that’s right. I, Meogines, is the incarnation of Hercules. Anyone can win. Please just paste it.”

“Unfortunately, in order to challenge the champion in Thessaloniki, you have to qualify as a ‘challenger’. Do you know how many pankration players are in Thessaloniki? Probably hundreds, if not more. And the pinnacle of them all is the bare-handed slayer Homeus.”

Not being able to face Homeus straight away was expected even by Megynes. It was because even if he was the champion of Thasos Island, it was not an achievement to make in Thessaloniki.

“Then what can I do?”

“We have to win at least 10 games here. That’s enough for Homeus to know about your existence. Then you will be able to qualify as a ‘Challenger’.”

“good. So please help me get into the game quickly.”

“Don’t worry. The Iliad praised you so much that I looked forward to meeting you after receiving your letter. I will do my best to catch the match quickly.”

“thank you.”

The smell of blood from the arena already tickled his nose, and Meoginess’s heart started beating fast.

“Nyaaaong.”

As if it had become a daily routine now, Kyu-ha awoke from her dream with Geum-bi crying. Now, the life of Meogines has become somewhat familiar. No, I was rather enjoying it. Fighting for life and death with only the body, without any tools or rules, was another thrill.

A fatal attack that will lead to death if you’re not careful even for a moment.

The feel and sound of breaking opponent’s bones with bare hands.

The smell of blood clearing my head and the sound of the other person’s breathing gradually fading.

All of this made the heart of Meogines, or rather Gyuha, beat.

Kyu-ha picked up her smartphone at the sound of a bell that awakened her thoughts.

“Oh yes, it’s Bong-gu.”

“brother! Did you sleep well? You know today is the Seok Quiz shooting day, right? I will pick you up by 3:00.”

“I know it well because a team leader asked me to trust him. Anyway, I slept after watching a few Seok Quiz broadcasts yesterday.”

“Good job. I’ll see you later, brother!”

After hanging up the phone, Kyu-ha recalled a phone call with team leader Han Jeong-hee a few days ago.

“Mr. Kyuha. This time, Seok Quiz asked me to recruit, and it’s a good opportunity. Unlike other entertainment shows, Seok Quiz has many top actors who are not usually seen in variety shows, so there is even a saying that whether or not they appear in Seok Quiz shows a measure of their popularity.”

“If it’s a good program like that, you should appear on it. Can I take a look and decide what kind of pro it is?”

“Yeah! Sure. Please watch the broadcast and contact me again.”

After hanging up the phone, Gyuha turned on the computer.

“Suk Quiz…”

Since then, most of the actors who appeared in Seok Quiz, including ‘Ten Million Actor Lee Jun-kyu’, ‘World Star Hong Jung-ho’, ‘Mysterious Actor Lee Yong-sang’, ‘Top Star Park Kyung-eun’, and close friendship with ‘The Next National Actor Cha Gyeong-seok’ watched in succession.

I thought I knew if actors who hated entertainment appeared on this show. First of all, it was a program that smelled of people.

While most entertainment shows use MSG for viewer ratings or only seek stimulation, ‘Seok Quiz’ kept its identity as a program that is “a story about people’s lives in the end” with a firm determination.

This part created the genre-specific rarity value of Seok Quiz, and made Seok Quiz special among numerous entertainment programs.

“Are you okay?”

After appearing in Byeoldabangstar, I thought that it was not suitable for entertainment, so I turned it down even if I was invited, but I thought that the seok quiz would be okay.

***

Seokquiz recording date.

The venue was held at a cafe called ‘Labelle Maman’ in Seongsu-dong. It was a cafe made by remodeling an abandoned factory.

In the middle of the space were three small fishing chairs and a simple table. Soon, two people came in, the national MC Seok Jun-ryeol, the host of the seok quiz, and Han Dong-gi, the assistant MC.

Donggi Han, the assistant MC, sat down with a smirk like a comedian.

“Hello~ Spring is here.”

Seok Joon-ryeol playfully scolded Han Dong-ki as if he were bruising.

“no!? Shit! When will spring come?”

Han Dong-gi trembled and countered.

“ah!? have you already been here? The weather is so nice.”

“By the way, why are you pretending to be so busy when our poop is only doing the Seok Quiz right now?”

Han Dong-gi protested with an unfair expression on his face.

“I’m not pretending to be busy! Have you entered two new programs these days? Don’t you know what the Seok Quiz will be like when you get busier?”

Seok Jun-ryeol burst into laughter as if it were ridiculous.

“Ahahahahaha really? Really? So you’re saying it’s okay for someone else to come? I get so many calls asking me when to stop shitting.”

Han Dong-ki looked at the main camera and gave a public apology performance.

“What, did I make a mistake? Folks, I was wrong.”

At that time, Kyu-ha, who had been waiting, appeared on the scene and the main MC, Seok Jun-ryeol, greeted him with delight.

“Ahh, you’re finally here!! hello! Please sit in the middle seat for now.”

“Yes, hello.”

When Kyuha sat down in the middle, the recording began in earnest.

Everyone’s eyes were focused because it was a rule that still had an image of mysticism.
