Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Little Storm (Part II)
First, I want to recommend and collect...... Also, I feel that the first half of this chapter is written quite awkwardly......
Thank you for the rewards and evaluations of the angry students, and thank the sad ⊙ students for the rewards
============
Answering the phone, Ahn Jun-hyuk rushed to Kwon Bo-geun's office, the small space that was already familiar, there was no light on at this time, on the side of the window, the shutters were half-open blades, only a beam of dim sky light penetrated in, light and shadow cut the room into distinctions, a corner of the room, a little spark was there Zizi lit up and extinguished, and the heavy smoke also spewed out, changing shape in the beam and darkness.
As soon as Ahn Junhyuk opened the door, he was choked by the thick smoke inside and coughed a few times, he frowned and raised his hand to fan the air, fumbling to light the lamp, the smoke in the room and Kwon Bo Gen, who was smoking in the corner, came into view.
"Uncle Baogen, smoke less!"
Ahn Jun-hyuk, who also smokes, but has no addiction, said as he went to open the window, and the cool breeze from the outside poured in, and the fresh air diluted the smoke and swept out of the smoke in pieces, so that he felt much more breathing.
Quan Baogen did not answer, and of course the cigarette in his hand was not extinguished, the face hidden behind the smoke was a little sad, but more faintly resentful.
"I don't understand......" After a long silence, he finally spoke, "...... It seems to be done, how can it come to an end, and a bullshit director suddenly pops up!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly broke out, slammed down the cigarette butt in his hand, raised his leg and stepped on it a few times, and scolded hysterically: "! I have never encountered a pleasant thing in the past six months, and every time I see that it is about to be done, I suddenly give me a dull stick." Who the hell am I messing with?
With a "bang", he kicked on a three-legged stool beside him, and the ornamental bonsai placed on it flew out of the stool together, and slammed into the corner of the wall with a hula, shattering.
Let him lose his temper, An Junhyuk, who turned his back to him and was facing out of the window, silently, not blaming Kwon Bo-geun for such a gaffe, even when he first heard the news, he couldn't control the urge to scold. This kind of thing is not big, it is not small, it depends on what the identity of the other party is, if it is just a simple director, it is okay, like KBS, a big TV station with a long history, has experienced several reorganizations and mergers, in addition to state-owned assets, the equity has been dispersed, and there are too many people who have a director status who holds the shares, and many employees who have been rewarded by the TV station in the early days can get such a title after almost retirement.
So-called directors like this don't bother at all.
However, if it is not simple, but there is still a standing and special manager in front of the director, things will be much more troublesome.
Kicking down the bonsai and venting his anger, Kwon Bo Gen sat down on the sofa behind him with heavy breathing, and the atmosphere in the room was dull, and after a while, Ahn Jun Hyuk asked out loud, "What does the company say?"
"I looked for the president, but ......" Kwon Bo-geun hugged his head and replied in a low voice, "When I came back, I just reported to him that you got the second male lead, but within a few hours, I said that this matter was going to be yellow...... How do you think he'll react?"
Yes, what else can you react to? After all, the crew and themselves only made a verbal agreement, and everyone didn't sign the contract, let alone notify the company, and there is no evidence.
But......
Ahn Jun-hyuk looked at the depressed Kwon Bo-geun, and for the first time felt that choosing him as his agent was a bit of a distraction. Perhaps it was too deeply influenced by Li Xiuman, coupled with the fact that the power in his hands has been declining day by day in the past few months, making middle-aged people suffer more and more from gains and losses, and subconsciously living in the shadow of Li Xiuman. …,
Such a person is too pedantic!
In his mind, such thoughts flashed, and Ahn Joon-hyuk pursed his lips to dispel them.
After all, he still entered the company through the hand of Quan Baogen, no matter their affection, interests or his own conscience, he was not allowed to leave this middle-aged man behind at this time, so he persuaded: "Uncle Baogen, the company is not his alone! Why don't you find other directors? Since Screenwriter Li has informed you of the news, instead of saying that he wants to cancel my decision to participate, it means that the crew is still on our side, and there is such an advantage, this matter, as long as the company makes a little effort, it can be solved immediately...... What they want is profit and launch goods, we have done more than half of it, success is in sight, and the rest of the little is why not give it to them?"
There is a sentence he didn't say, the company's senior management is now fighting openly and secretly, Li Xiuman has the most important resources for the company such as artists and trainees, and the artists who have debuted in the company only listen to him, and those directors are worried that they can't find the opportunity to split the power in his hands, so they rely on the words of the past......
"But...... I'm going to find them, the president ......" Kwon Bo-geun hesitated.
Of course, Ahn Junhyuk understood what he was worried about, so he could only smile helplessly: "Uncle Baogen, if he gives you a chance, you won't be scolded when you look for him...... You're not betraying, he's forcing you to do it......"
In the same way, to put it mildly, it can always leave some small comfort, and that's it.
Looking at him in a daze, Quan Baogen put down his hands that were rubbing his hair messily, shivered and lit another cigarette, and took a few puffs.
The smoke filled his eyes, which were faintly blurry, but Ahn Joon-hyuk could still feel the flickering of his eyes, as if he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.
The obstacles he set up for himself like that, others couldn't help much, Ahn Junhyuk just waited patiently.
After a long time, Quan Baogen suddenly snuffed out the cigarette butt, stood up with a sigh, and said in a dumb voice: "Listen to you, I'll go to the other directors...... Damn, how can I die anyway!"
…… It didn't disappoint me......
Hearing this, An Junhyuk breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: "I'll go with you!"
"No, you're waiting here for my news. ”
Since he had made up his mind, Quan Baogen immediately became resolute again, and as he spoke, he hurriedly went out of the door.
Leaving Ahn Jun-hyuk alone in the office, it was not boring, he began to call his cousin, as an investor, his cousin may not have much say in this matter, but it can also be used as a force, but more importantly, he wants his cousin to find out who is competing with him for the role of male number two.
Somehow, I always thought of the young man I met in front of the KBS main building in the morning.
"I hope it's not you......"
The picture in his mind is frozen in the scene where the young man moves his lips and curses, and Ahn Junhyuk's eyes are indifferent.
……
Although when Kwon Bo-geun was encouraged to go to the company's directors, Ahn Jun-hyuk knew that those people would accept their refuge, but the enthusiasm of the directors was beyond his imagination, and it didn't take long for Kwon Bo-geun to call back - the matter was settled.
One of the directors made friends with the KBS executives and said hello there, but the small turmoil was eliminated with just a lip service.
This may be an exaggeration, but according to what was learned afterwards, KBS executives also asked the crew about the whole matter, and because the crew supported Ahn Junhyuk, they suppressed the opposition of Director Kim.
But in any case, the power of power and connections also plays a role, and without the company's directors to greet them, how can KBS's top management have the leisure to pay attention to this small matter.
Things seem to have passed like this, and the next day, Kwon Bo-geun took Ahn Jun-hyuk to KBS TV again, and after discussing with the crew, he signed a contract and starred in the second male lead, which was only officially confirmed at this moment. …,
And Ahn Jun-hyuk is getting closer and closer to the day of his official debut.
The company's publicity department has begun to make a personal official website for him, perhaps because those directors want to show their preferential treatment for artists who have joined them, not only that, but also arranged an assistant for him, a makeup artist, a stylist, and even the modern business car that he had just changed was also asked back by the company, and a nanny car was arranged instead, basically the configuration that a debut artist should have is almost the same.
On the part of the crew, they are still selecting the male and female protagonists, and there is still a period of time before the specific start date of filming, during this time, Ahn Junhyuk is not ready to waste, but rushes to the crew every day, on the one hand, it is natural to communicate with the screenwriter more to understand the script, and on the other hand, he is trying to have a good relationship with the crew, after all, it will take a long time to cooperate in the future, if the relationship with the staff is not good, they will make it a little difficult during filming, which will be a disaster for him as a newcomer.
In the meantime, Park Young-joon investigated the person who almost snatched his role away before, Ahn Joon-hyuk saw the photo, and it was indeed the young man he saw at the door of KBS on the day of the audition, named Jung Kyung-ho, his father is a director, very famous, called Jung E-young.
It's just that since the matter was resolved, Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't pay much attention to it, and casually asked his cousin to stop the investigation.
He didn't expect that his side stopped the investigation, but some people continued.
One day two weeks later, Ahn Jun-hyuk was going to the crew in a nanny car, and suddenly received a phone call, the number was very unfamiliar, and after picking it up, a young and unruly but slightly drunk voice came into his ears: "Is it Ahn Jun-hyuk?"
It was a flat language, and the tone was also very unfriendly, Ahn Junhyuk frowned, "You are ......"
"You're good...... It's really good! I'm proud now, isn't it? With a big tree behind me, I easily snatched my character, doesn't it feel comfortable?
A sharp roar rushed out of the microphone, and when the other party said this, Ahn Jun-hyuk already knew who Lu Dao was, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually found him and got his number, his number has not been told to too many people, only friends know about Lu Dao, and the other is registered in the company and the crew, I don't know who leaked Lu Dao.
But now is not the time to worry about those, pressing the anger in his heart, Ahn Junhyuk said in a deep voice: "Is it Jung Kyung-ho Xi? You are drunk, I can forget this conversation, and I hope you can restrain your behavior, and next time, I will sue you for harassment, that's all." ”
Anyway, hang up and shut down, for this kind of loser, there is no need to talk nonsense!
The moment the phone hung up, in the messy box of a bar in the distance, a drunken young man smashed the mobile phone, and a roar of shame and anger echoed in the small space: "Dare to hang up the phone, dare to hang up the phone! You all bully me and look down on me...... Filming TV series...... I'll let you shoot it, and show it to the ghosts!"
What followed was a wild laugh like a night owl.
