CH 343

1st year Max Level Manager chapter 343

Haru's Life 2 Haruga received 2.5 million won per episode in ; The Master of Mukbang .

I just multiplied that by 20 and called the fee for the sequel to ; The Master of Mukbang .

Director Cho Eung-cheon swallows his saliva and answers.

"It's me, Chief Jung. Isn't 50 million won too much?

But the situation has come this far

Sang, I have no intention of lowering the daily fee.

This is because the timing of the inquiries about Haru's next work was the perfect opportunity to raise the price of Haru.

sorry. I'm still getting a lot of offers to appear on Haru...

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji blinks his eyes and makes a pitiful expression.

"Please give me a little bit of the daily fee. Since one day is young, there are always opportunities to raise the cost of appearances,

right?"

sorry. Today, the daily ransom is higher than you think."

There was no sign of me backing down, so PD Yoo Hyeon-ji jumped the score.

"You know that if you raise your daily appearance fee, you have no choice but to reduce the number of staff members, right? Gyeonggi-do is difficult these days, isn't it so pitiful if all the children of outsourced production companies are cut off?"

It is an obvious negotiation method, but it cannot be ignored.

It's true that when negotiations break down, freelancers lose their jobs.

However, according to my calculations, TVM was able to afford to pay for a one-day appearance.

"We all know that the advertising unit price before and after the current one-day show is renewing the highest price every day. I heard that the rebroadcast ratings were high, so the rebroadcast ad unit price was high, right?"

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji flinches.

"Hey, how did you know that?"

"No matter how much you shiver at the broadcasting station,

it all comes out of the advertising company, isn't it obvious?"

Dramas in which Haru appeared had surprisingly high rerun ratings.

So, even though the advertising unit price was much higher than other dramas, the two were trying to cut one day's performance fee.

Even though ; The Master of Mukbang earned billions of dollars in additional advertising revenue.

When he refutes the data, local PD Yoo comes out emotionally as to why it can't be done.

really. Are you going to come out this tight

?"

I put on a face that asked why I said something natural.

Isn't trading supposed to be tight?

It was then.

Director Jo Eung-cheon seems to be unable to move forward as it is, and comes up with another number.

"Chief Jeong. Let's go easy, go easy. 4,000 each! That's the limit. five thousand? can you give But, if you go there, the staff will be a paycut."

Do you want to save money all the way?

Then I have no choice but to go with the brinkmanship tactic.

all right. Then, it seems that SBC will have no choice but to move on to the professional that is making this time. You can easily get 50 million won or more as a daily appearance fee."

There is an offer to take the lead role in SBC's new 10 p.m. drama ; Story Pocha .

It is the role of the grandson who helps the grandmother to run the carriage, and the actress Lee Sa-rang was being mentioned for the role of the grandmother.

In a moment, PD Yoo Hyun-ji raises his hands first.

"Come on, wait! Wait a minute!

Producer Yoo Hyeon-ji and Director Jo Eung-cheon start a conversation asking to wait for a moment.

After a while.

Director Jo Eung-cheon opened his mouth with a sad expression.

Ah Okay. This time I did something wrong, so I'll set it to 5,000 per episode. okay?"

"Then outsourced production staff,

what about the pay cut? If they're taking their money and raising their daily expenses, I wouldn't do it."

"Alright? If we increase the production cost by about 20% more, it will be close enough."

Again, this entertainment industry is interesting.

It's a world where popularity is more important than money, power, and skill, which are universal standards.

now. Then, let's start recording the contract. Before you change your mind!"

If I sign a contract tomorrow, I will definitely raise the price again, so they hired me.

'Just got caught.'

In the end, PD Yoo Hyun-ji and I took out each other's phones and finished the verbal contract by recording.

The moment I said thank you after finishing the contract, PD Yoo Hyun-ji smiled and asked me for one thing.

"Now that the day is ours, make sure to win today."

Yes. PD-nim!"

After saying hello, I returned to the place where our team members were with light steps for a while.

; Table of the Mukbang Two hours remain until the first part of the final round begins.

Haru and Lee Jin-taek are interviewing next to the cooking table in the front of the set.

And in the guest seats of the cast, the stars who had fallen while participating in the contest, and

Lee Byung-jun of Cherry Blossom and TK Entertainment were waiting for their turn to be interviewed.

The audience was still empty, so all the staff focused their eyes on the set.

After a while.

When Haru and Lee Jin-taek's interview is over, PD Cho Han-il calls out to take a break.

"I'm going to rest for 10 minutes. After the break, we will start with Cherry Blossom and Lee Byung-jun's interview, so the managers, please prepare in advance."

I immediately

gathered the cherry blossoms I had been waiting for in the guest seat .

"When the interview begins, Seri, you will be asked a lot of questions. know?

Seri knows that the story of what happened yesterday will come out, and nods her head.

"Haru and I are childhood friends. Can I say that yesterday was a complete lie?"

okay. Whatever question you have, you can answer it that way. Don't fish."

Yep!

"And it's such a silly question.

If you want, Yeonhee and Eunbi cut them in the middle. Understand?

Wooyeon-hee and Yang Eun-bi nod their heads saying that they understood.

Yes.

After a while.

A microphone was given to the Cherry Blossom members who returned to the guest seats.

As the interview began, the host again targeted the taxpayer and asked dangerous questions.

However, Seri was doing the interview with the perfect iron wall defense.

"So, Seri-san and Haru-san are just friends, right? Isn't that what you're saying for broadcasting?

"Not just friends, but really close friends. We grew up together since we were babies."

The publican did not waver at any question.

And finally, counterattack.

"And my grandmother had a divination with a brave shaman, and she said that I shouldn't be dating until I was 26!"

The scene murmured at the tax collector's remarks

.

"When you're 26 10 years from now?"

Yes. Until then, I have no intention of loving anyone but the fans. I love you~ Bee Flower Family!"

Seri looks at the interview screen and blows up her little finger hearts.

He said it was his heart to send to the fan club.

MC Jin-tae Kim, who asked all kinds of questions to catch the taxpayer, had to raise both hands and feet in the end.

4 pm.

There is one hour left until the contest.

But now, my attention was directed to a place other than one day.

Because Haru's father could have appeared here.

'Actually, it's an on-site lottery for 50 people...

Half of the 100 spectators who came to watch today's contest entered by lottery, so I couldn't be relieved.

Then, I got a call from Lee Soo-chan.

Around the morning, a person was sent to the Suwon Nursing Hospital where Haru's mother was, but now the results seem to have come out.

I went out of the studio for a while and got a call from Lee Soo-chan.

I found it?

-Yes. It

is correct that Natalia is still working at the hospital . I am working as a nursing assistant.

I finally found Haru's mother.

In an instant, I let out a sigh of relief.

"Uh-huh, did we meet then?"

- no. It's a night shift, so I haven't been to work yet.

The nursing home where Haru's mother works was so thorough that she couldn't even enter.

Instead, he confirmed the fact that Haru's mother was there by asking the visitors who came out of the visit.

The fact that she is working in the hospital under the name of Na Young-hee, not Natalia.

okay. Then call me right away when your mom goes to work. I have something to say."

- I will.

"And thank you. I always owe you."

- He says everything. How much have we helped... .

As soon as I hung up the phone, my legs were wobbly.

Is it a joke of fate?

On the final day of one day, Haru's mother was also found.

"Thankfully

, even if Haru's father made a fuss about taking Haru, if he could convince Haru's mother, another parent, the problem could be easily resolved.

Time passed, and it was 4:20 PM.

"Let the general audience enter."

When PD Cho Han-il gave

instructions through wireless intercom, the door to the audience's entrance on the second floor was opened.

ur ur.

The 50 audience members who were drawn in advance and the audience from the on-site lottery come in.

Whether it is mainly family members, the minimum composition is 3 or more.

But among the family members who lined up, I saw a man wearing a black hat all alone.

'Is this fate?'

I asked him to stop me at the entrance to the site, but Haru's father, Hyung-Moon Lee, eventually appeared here like a prank of fate

.

The position is the last column on the right line.

As soon as I saw him, I immediately called the managers together.

"Haru's father came to the scene."

For a moment, Youngjin Lee opens her eyes and asks.

Yes? Did you show AD the picture and say that you should never come in?"

The broadcast site is so busy that it is often the case that the manager's request is chewed up.

If we try to figure out what's wrong with this kind of thing, only our mouths hurt.

"This ALP who was in charge outside must have made a mistake."

Lee Young-jin makes an apologetic expression.

sorry. manager. I should have paid more attention."

done. Anyway, that doesn't matter, it's at the top of the row on the far right of the spectator's seat. The man in the black baseball cap is Haru's dad. Everyone should keep this in mind and stop them from approaching Haru by any chance. know?

Yes.

Knowing how Haru's father treated Haru, the managers' complexions darken.

Wake. And what if one day finds out?"

"Yes, chief."

"Once I have some spare time, I will go to the audience right now and meet that person. I plan to handle it on my own line, but in case an unexpected situation arises, we are keeping our positions well."

To the managers who take orders and go back to their seats, one thing

said hopeful things.

"And he said he just found his mother one day. So we just have to stop this stage today."

At that moment, the faces of the managers brightened a little.

Is that true?

"Hey. Things work out like this."

"If I only have a mother for one day, isn't it all over?"

okay. Still, don't be vigilant, and let's all be nervous until the end.

As

soon as the managers returned to their seats , I immediately exited the studio on the first floor and headed for the audience on the second floor.

Since I was wearing the official plaques around my neck, there was no one to stop me.

The entrance to the audience seats is on the second floor of the studio.

Even in the hallway on the second floor of the studio, the

staff were running around quickly.

After taking a short sigh, I opened the door to the second floor audience seat.

After breaking through the blackout curtains that kept the light from leaking in, I entered the studio.

As I saw it, a man in a black hat was sitting in the most remote place on the second floor.

Haru's dad.

This is Hyungwon Lee

I approached him cautiously and whispered.

"Mr. Would you like to talk outside for a moment?"

The man with his head bowed turns his gaze towards me.

"Heh billion!"

Hyung-Moon Lee makes a surprised expression.

"Don't make a fuss Let's talk outside.

Lee Hyung-moon looked around and reluctantly nodded his head.

"Yeah, that's right."

Lee Hyung-moon and I came out of the audience and asked him at once.

"Why the hell did you come here?"

Hyung-Moon Lee swallows his saliva and makes a pathetic expression.

"It's the finals today. I also came here to see my face after resolving my alcohol addiction. I have no problem now. It's real!"

"Are you all right?"

Yes. I'm just going to look at your face. I was also curious about how big my baby was...

He said he wouldn't do any harm and would disappear after the contest was over, but I couldn't believe him.

Even before my return, the actors that bothered me the most were those who were addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Drugs weaken and destroy a person's willpower.

Moreover, Lee Hyung-moon's attitude was also awarded.

'You're so fine.'

People who came out of their addiction showed a weak side as a side effect of omitting alcohol.

The main symptoms are lethargy and depression.

However, Hyung-Moon Lee in front of me was so quick.

'You must have drank as soon as you left the hospital.'

A very small cup.

Even just that, like rain rain in a drought, it temporarily restores the body's energy.

Then, one cup becomes two, and eventually it goes back to normal.

It's not like I've seen a case like this once or twice, can I be deceived?

"If you really think about Haru,

come back here. The contract that if you show up the day before, you will be compensated. Haven't you forgotten?

It was then.

Lee Hyeong-moon erases the desperate expression on his face and reveals his true color.

"XX Do you really have to?"

"It's not the first time I've seen someone like you. And did you forget the contract between us? After receiving the down payment, you decided not to show up the day before!"

"Ah, that? A lawyer I met at a rehab center gave me advice. You

say that a contract by coercion is invalid?"

"It's not funny. You believe the lawyer you met at the rehab?"

Hyung-Moon Lee grinned and smiled.

"Sure, of course. Don't worry though. Because I don't want to cause any fuss either."

"Then what do you want?"

"I'm Haru's biological father, so why not create a scandal and block the money hole? Instead, I put only half of the profits into my bank account. Then I'll keep my mouth shut.

Hyung-Moon Lee

pats my shoulder with a look as if he has won .

But since I found Haru's mother, there was no reason for me to be patient.

A lawsuit was already being prepared.

I grabbed his hand, stroking my shoulder, tightly.

At that moment, there is the sound of bones collapsing.

Woodduck.

"Ouch!"

Hyung-Moon Lee's face contorted in pain.

But I didn't care, and burst out with the anger I had been holding back.

"I'm getting tired of it and I'm getting tired of it!"
