; Master of Mukbang Audition 2

The moment it was announced that Haru would take the lead role in the audition for ; The Master of Mukbang , Lee Jin-taek did not accept the result and was standing with producer Yoo Hyun-ji.

Ma Dong-pal, who ran to Lee Jin-taek's side and immediately started to apologize.

"Come on, wait a minute, PD Yoo! There seems to be some misunderstanding, but this guy originally wanted to be a full-time cook, so he had pride. You never ask PD Yoo. Sorry.

After finishing his speech, General Manager Ma Dong-pal grabbed Lee Jin-taek's hair.

men and horses! Apologize to PD-nim!"

Director Ma Dong-pal's wicked hand pressed on Lee Jin-taek's head forcibly.

Although Lee Jin-taek's hatred of tea was strong, he could not overcome General Manager Ma Dong-pal.

sorry. oh my."

When Lee Jin-taek reluctantly apologized, Yoo Hyeon-ji responded with a sneer.

"Chief Ma. site after a long time

Did you lose your senses when you came?"

what?

"Right now, I'm the only one making weird people. A new blue actor raised the question, what will I become if I end it like this? Oh, are you trying to write an article about PD Gapjil?"

As PD Yoo Hyun-ji continued to speak in a sharp tone, General Manager Ma Dong-pal bit his lip.

Water that has already been spilled.

It was important to rectify now.

"Yoo PD. I'll make a good spot, so let's just skip this issue.

At the apology of General Manager Ma Dong-pal, Yoo Hyun-ji and Eui Japan also calmed down.

Even though Yoo Hyun-ji, who lives according to his personality, is not so much, he had the discernment power to not fight needlessly against the power of a large entertainment company.

like. I'll accept the apology first. And now that I look at it, everyone seems to disagree, but this is not a decision I made arbitrarily."

Simultaneously with those words, producer Yoo Hyun-ji asked Baek Jong-suk for help.

Baek Jong-seok, today's judge and a giant in the catering industry, came forward.

"I'll be honest. Jintaek Lee and Haru. Except for two people, the level is too low. I'm not going to criticize other actors' cooking. If you don't understand, try it yourself.

The faces of the actors were distorted.

It was a story that I didn't have enough cooking skills to taste and reproduce it.

peel.

After that, Baek Jong-seok looked at Lee Jin-taek.

"You make good food neatly. It tasted like eating Korean food at a hotel."

Jintaek Lee shrugs his shoulders.

"I have been cooking since I was seven years old, and when I went to school, I polished it even more. My soybean paste stew was also recognized by the head chef of the Chosun Hotel's Korean cuisine "

CEO Baek Jong-seok laughs.

"That's the problem. Today's task is

We are reproducing the stew we made, not the Joseon hotel style stew."

Jintaek Lee, who stopped talking for a moment, made a nonsensical expression on his face.

Yes? Could it be that it was more delicious and that was the problem? Representative Baek. Where is this law!"

CEO Baek Jong-seok continued to speak with a smile.

"Is it tastier? Isn't taste subjective?"

Eric Park, a world-class chef who was there at that moment, also agreed.

"I agree with Mr. Baek. Some people like a refined stew, while others prefer a country-style doenjang-jjigae. Although Jintaek Lee's stew was delicious, Haru's savory stew cannot be said to be inferior. And the stew we made in Episode 1 was also the style that Haru-kun made."

CEO Baek Jong-seok nodded.

When Jintaek Lee made a face that he could not admit, CEO Baek Jong-seok pointed to Haru.

"Go and try it yourself. Then you will know what I mean."

Jintaek Lee approached Haru with his expression hardened.

And the hot doenjang stew, which is still steaming, was served on the front plate.

Jintaek Lee ate the jangjjigae with the front plate blown out.

But at that moment, Jintaek Lee's face was distorted.

Eric Park said as if to see it.

"You can't say no, can you? What if you also considered cooking as a profession? It is your arrogant defeat."

Jintaek's body trembled.

He didn't even think that Haru would be pushed to cook.

At that moment, General Manager Ma Dong-pal sided with Lee Jin-taek.

Even if he loses to TVM, to protect his actor.

"I understand what CEO Baek and Chef Eric mean, but this is not a cooking contest, is it? The taste is different. Even so, which one

If you're above the level, shouldn't you have an acting audition?"

At that moment, CP Kim Tae-chon, who had been silent until now, came forward.

"Chief Ma. Do it in moderation."

"C.P. Anyway, this is... "

CP Kim Tae-chon cut off General Manager Ma Dong-pal.

"Cooking skills? I don't know about that. But I mean. only one day! Did you know that only that young guy, who was only 3 of us in middle school, played the main character we wanted? All the movements of making and tasting food are exactly as shown in the script.

I mean it was! How is it that no one knows!"

As CP Kim Tae-chon's voice increased, everyone's complexion changed.

"We need details for the drama that our PD Yoo planned. But if you already have a child, why waste your time and go to the next audition? Have you already seen acting?"

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji hit the wedge.

"Are you no longer complaining? And, to be honest, even cleaning the camera is the best day. So everyone is like that. There's no point in doing more here.

It was stopped."

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji called Jin-taek Lee, who could not hide his disappointment.

"And there. What was your name?"

"My name is Jintaek Lee."

"He did well too. I know you're disappointed, but I think you're a little unprepared. And there's a cooking audition coming soon, so give it a try. Where are you going this time? no. Just come out to the 'mukbang table'. It's a cooking contest pro, so it'll be nice to see Haru again.

; Table of Mukbang is currently being directed

The work of PD Cho Han-il, her boyfriend.

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji had that much authority to recommend casting.

In an instant, Jintaek Lee bent his waist in half.

sorry. Mr. PD. In the future, I will work harder to understand the script."

done. You worked hard, and if there is a chance next time, I hope to meet you as an actor rather than a cook. okay?

Yes!

Yoo Hyun-ji, who relaxed the atmosphere, is back

shouted once

now. Then the audition ends here! Everyone did a great job."

pair.

Producer Yoo Hyeon-ji clapped his hands and shouted once again that the audition was over.

It was then that Haru clenched his fists and began to look satisfied.

'You did it, Haru.'

One day, for today's audition, I practiced without missing a single day.

There were unexpected variables.

However, he eventually overcame it and became the main character of ; The Master of Mukbang .

At that moment, PD Yoo Hyun-ji shouted.

what are you doing. our lead? You should say hello to the people you auditioned with."

Haru, who had a recalled expression on his face, bowed his head to the actors who were auditioning together.

"I will do my best and work hard even for the brothers."

A roar of laughter broke out.

okay. Do our part as well!"

"Ah, it sucks. Next time, let's stick together with another acting."

Even if we stick with acting, one day will win, but I didn't want to let even that small hope shattered.

The actors and managers who finished the audition went out like a low tide.

General Manager Ma Dong-pal was also quite upset.

disappeared without a word.

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji, who instructed the staff to clean up the set, called me.

"Chief Jeong. Shall I see you in my room?"

I passed the audition for the lead role, but there were still steps left.

Direct fee negotiation.

An approximate price line was set, but it had to be moved to make a final adjustment.

Yes. PD-nim."

Now a new match awaits me

is going

This is because, in order to negotiate the cost of appearances, it is necessary to use a brinkmanship tactic.

And I explained it to Haru.

There are many cases of people who accidentally fall from a cliff while carrying out tactics to the edge of the cliff.

"It's a day."

Yes?

"Don't worry until the contract is stamped. I'm going to start negotiating the fee from now on.

there is.

I was worried about what would happen if one day was disappointing.

But one day, he answered without wrinkling.

it's okay. I trust you."

okay?

"Even if we fall this time, hyung will give you another chance. To be honest, just hearing that passing sound makes me feel like I'm flying."

One day, he was showing his eyes full of faith.

okay. Then will you go home with Youngjin first? If all goes well, let's celebrate today.

Yes!

I sent out Haru and Lee Young-jin first, and then sent the audition results to KakaoTalk to Koo Sung-cheol and Kang Ji-young, general manager.

Then, following Yoo Hyun-ji, PD, he headed to her room.

When we went to Yoo Hyun-ji PD's room, CP Kim Tae-chon was waiting with us.

As soon as you sit down, CP Kim Tae-chon offers you the fee.

"500,000 per episode."

Before returning, Woo Sung-chan's appearance fee was 1.5 million won per episode.

At that time, Kim Dong-soo was negotiating, so he had never negotiated with Kim Tae-chon.

However, CP Kim Tae-chon knows that he is well-known for being well-received in hospitality, while setting the cost of his appearances expensively.

But this time it was a little more serious.

"You were too rude."

"Uh-huh! are you bullied? Our drama's production cost is low. Team leader Jeong knows. is not it?

At the words of CP Kim Tae-chon, the windman who was by his side added Chuimsae.

"Yes, Chief Jung. Haru is still a rookie. As soon as you sign the contract, you'll be appearing on 'Mukbang Table'. I'll cover the performance fee there. If it's still not enough, I'll give you a sponsorship love bridge so that the CF can take care of it. how?

Producer Cho Han-il, who was in charge of The Table of the Mukbang , is better than these two people.

more salty

So I could never leave here.

In addition, CF was also able to receive a proper ransom without having to join a broadcasting station.

"Do you know how easy it is to find an actor who can cook for a day or so? Even in the 'Mukbang Table' contest, you will be in the top 4 at least! I'm sorry, but I can't appear with that money."

Kim Tae-chon CP smiled as if he knew it, and leaned on the sofa.

He waved his hands.

can not? Oh, then what can I do? This is Yoo PD. Call Jintaek earlier."

Yoo Hyeon-ji PEP} He nods his head coldly.

"Is that so? In fact, he was my favorite."

beating the drum and playing the janggu.

The dwarf and the windman were trying to get my mind off of me.

If I was an ordinary team leader, it was such a skillful team play that I would be shaken at once.

'Anyway, broadcasting station humans are...

But I knew this too, and I was well prepared.

This morning.

Before the audition, I met with Ji-young Kang and asked for help.

-This is a fee negotiation issue, so plan B is required.

After hearing the story, General Manager Kang Ji-young told him to call him as soon as the audition was over.

He said that he would be waiting near the broadcasting station.

As soon as I finished the audition, I sent a Kakao message, and I even got a reply saying that it would arrive soon.

It was certain that the situation would be different if she came, who maintains a close relationship with the broadcasting station's management.

In a fight like this, the weak-looking guy gets eaten anyway.

Once I left this room, I wanted to meet with Ji-Young Kang, general manager, and go to TVM's drama director to see the match.

'Let's get out of here for now.'

Everyone put iron plates on their faces and bluffed

They hide it well, like those who are proficient in hitting , but considering the tight schedule of The Master of Mukbang , both of them almost had a child.

A situation in which the one who is afraid is the first to break out.

I got up from my seat, controlling my expression.

"I'm sorry, but I will give up my appearance in this work."

For a moment, PD Yoo Hyun-ji's eyes trembled.

From her eyes, I could be sure that my bluffing worked.

But seasoned CP Kim Tae-chon is female.

I was just being naive at all.

okay. Be careful going in. See you next time."

Yes. CP."

But right before he grabbed the doorknob of the PD room.

The door opened and the person who was waiting appeared.

"Chief Jeong. Were you here?"

As if he knew this would happen, General Manager Kang Ji-young grinned.

But behind her, an unexpected giant was coming along.
