Jackpot.
Applicant number 12 entered the audition hall, and the audition applicants who were waiting raised their heads to the sweet piano performance.
“piano?”
“It seems to be a classical major.”
The soundproofing of the audition hall, which was not even a sound studio, was not that good. So I could get a rough idea of what the applicants who went inside were doing.
In the synopsis of ＜Intermission＞, the main characters are band singers. Most of them played band songs, but classical music was unusual, so the applicants’ attention was focused.
“De, drums?”
Soon, drums, guitars, and even bass sounds were heard in succession. Applicants groaned. It was the first time anyone had ever played so many instruments skillfully while waiting for their turn.
“Wow, what is it?”
“What are you doing?”
The people who were agitated shut their mouths when they saw the door to the audition room open. The tightly wrapped applicant, feeling the eyes on me, bowed his head and said hello.
“How is it?”
“Well, I think it went well.”
Yeah, it seemed like that. Kang Ha-joon looked at Yoon-jae with a strange aura even though he was covering everything he wanted to cover.
It sounds as much as he knows, Kang Ha-joon noticed that Yoon Jae-yi’s performance was not just for beginners. In addition, to the sound of excitement from the people presumed to be judges, maybe Yoon J will pass.
‘It’s okay though.’
Just aim for the remaining spot. Kang Ha-joon took a deep breath.
“Next, applicant number 13.”
“Ah yes!”
“do well.”
Yoon Jae-yi encouraged Kang Ha-jun, who was nervous, and came out of the audition hall. Outside, Jinwoo Han was already waiting. He got into the car and took off his stuffy mask and sunglasses.
“Hyung, did you have a good audition?”
“uh. depending on?”
“On your own?”
Even though Han Jin-woo had the mindset that he would do well as an older brother, I was a bit uneasy because it was an unfamiliar music movie.
Han Jin-woo glanced at Yoon-jae’s face through the room mirror at Yoon-jae’s light reply. This hyung isn’t the kind of person who can cut corners, have you seen it well?
“Can you stop me here?”
“Do you have an appointment? Call me before you go home, brother.”
“No, just get off work. Enter carefully.”
“yes.”
Han Jin-woo looked through the restaurant where Yoon-jae was entering. This is a house I know, but it’s so popular that I don’t even accept reservations for a while. Even on the weekend, there were no cars in the parking lot.
Did you pay for any restaurant charter? Han Jin-woo, who looked around for a bit, looked at the car parked near the entrance indifferently.
‘Director Lee Young-chang······?
Lee Young-chang was a master director who was recognized by the public even if he was not a person in the industry. As he entered the room where Yunjae entered, Han Jin-wu narrowed his eyes.
‘Does my brother and director Lee know each other?’
No way. I’m sure you’ve never met at an awards ceremony… Or is it the representative’s personal connections? I was puzzled, but I quickly turned the steering wheel and got out of there.
“I cursed.”
This was what Lee Young-chang said as soon as he saw Yoon-jae. Probably because of the stripper controversy surrounding him. Jae-yoon Yoon read the worries that do not fall away from director Lee Young-chang.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m really fine.”
No matter how much Lee Young-chang saw Yoon-jae as a human equal to himself and a worthy actor, being worried was worrying.
However, Yoonjae looked really good, so Lee Yeongchang was less worried.
“Okay, what are you doing these days? I haven’t heard anything about deciding on your next project.”
“I auditioned.”
“audition?”
Youngchang Lee and Youkyung Cho looked at him in surprise.
“You said you auditioned while I was there?”
“yes.”
“Which studio is the movie from? I will contact you…”
“I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would do this.”
Yoon Jae let out a small laugh at Cho Yoo-gyeong, who was making a fuss.
Seeing him like that, the two let out a comfortable breath. It is much softer than when I first saw it. Things related to personal life, which are difficult to answer after asking a question, are now naturally solved first.
“If the results are good, I will tell you.”
“It will turn out well. if you are.”
Yunjae’s heart warmed at the infinite trust he felt in the two of them.
“By the way… I heard from seniors. What happened on set?”
“You two have no secrets.”
The topic of conversation moved on to catching Kwon Min-jae’s stalker. As soon as they heard Yoonjae’s plausible reasoning, the two admired it.
“I can do anything detective.”
“It’s just magazine style.”
“Why did you help Minjae? I can understand helping a friend, but it’s not an easy thing to think about.”
Even a 10-minute delay is a filming location that suffers losses. Yoonjae would know that too.
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s because of the kinship that I briefly passed by when I was young.”
“Because you are nice.”
“Me?”
It’s the strangest sound I’ve ever heard. Yoongi smiled innocently and shook his head.
Jo Yoo-gyeong sighed as she looked at Yoon-jae, who had a low opinion of her. Thankfully, it ended without incident. I got goosebumps even thinking about setting it on fire.
“Thanks to you, the filming ended safely. I will definitely step on that stalker and Park Won-ho or something.”
“You don’t have to do that on purpose.”
“For you, too, but for our movie.”
Cho Yoo-gyeong, who obtained the signatures from Yoon-Ji, personally hired all three law firms to retaliate.
Park Won-ho, the source of the first rumor, said he was scared and uploaded an additional video and apologized on his knees. And the person who was swept away by it and said harsh words was also subject to prosecution.
Despite all the insulting words, Yunjae was not hurt. But the complaint was welcomed. Would someone like that insult me? Maybe my younger siblings also cursed at me.
“That’s why…”
Jo Yoo-gyeong smiled and pointed to the bar on the side wall.
“Let’s say thank you for making me a drink over there.”
“Huh, can I use it?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Why would I have rented this place? I got permission to use it.”
As Yunjae stood inside the bar, Youngchang Lee and Youkyung Jo sat at the bar with eyes full of anticipation.
“I am······.”
“I’ll make it for you once.”
“Am I picky?”
“I only have a few meals with my aunt.”
You’re a precious investment distributor, but you should give up this kind of joke. Yunjae roughly guessed what kind of taste Jo Yu-gyeong preferred to eat and drink, as well as the side dishes she often went to.
“oh······.”
“You seem to be doing well?”
Yoonjae chose the alcohol without hesitation, and made a cocktail by tasting unfamiliar ingredients on the back of his hand.
“Come on, eat. Wait a minute, Director.”
“okay. Don’t expect it.”
“It’s okay to talk while making it.”
After tasting the cocktail he made, Cho Yoo-gyeong opened her eyes wide and looked at Yoon-Ji. The taste was as good as the skill.
Lee Young-chang glanced at Jo Yoo-kyung, who was drinking without saying anything. It must be delicious to see that senior forgetting to say anything and drinking it…
“Did you learn this after being discharged?”
“yes. You said I lived a wandering life.”
“Then did you do anything else?”
“I did everything I could with my body. I’ve been a mechanic, and I’ve also been a carpenter. Among the townhouses in Wisconsin, there is a house I built.”
“okay?”
Yoonjae knew the look in Lee Young-chang’s eyes as he secretly recalled his past.
‘What are you trying to get from me…’
Still, if it was Lee Young-chang he knew, there would be no bad intentions. Yoonjay held out a cocktail made exclusively for Lee Young-chang.
“…really good?”
“right? Jay, must have seen a lot of strange customers while working as a bartender?”
“It was a lot. If you want to hear all of this, you can’t do it today.”
“what? hahahaha!”
In the meantime, YoonJ’s cell phone, which had been placed on the table, flashed for a moment.
Passed the 1st audition for ＜Intermission＞
It was a text message from the manufacturer.
***
After the first audition, Sujin Choi and Jiwon Shin called the staff who were waiting in the tent.
“Applicant No. 12? It was unusual. From the hat to the mask to the sunglasses, they were fully armed.”
“You covered your face?”
“yes.”
“Then no one can guess who it is? If it’s that skill, I think it’s a famous indie band or something…”
“hmm······.”
There is one suspicious person… but it’s not a famous indie band, it’s an actor sweeping last year and now. The worried staff shook their heads. what if or not
Sujin Choi let out a pained sound.
“Are you handsome? You have to be handsome…”
“Well, it seemed like that. First of all, the body proportions are good.”
“right? yes?”
Director Shin Ji-won looked at his friend, who was running a happy circuit, as if he was shocked.
“Isn’t that too snobbish?”
“How are you? If this movie is going to be a box office hit, it has to take care of its visuals as well. It would be nice if the movie did well for you too.”
Shin Ji-won silently nodded. Although he comes from a family that gave birth to world-class performers and conductors, he is a rookie director who has nothing in the world of film.
It is the production company that supported his first work without even thinking about it. This movie will add a commercial flavor as they wish. If the two young lead actors are handsome, it’s a plus, not a minus.
“If you have that level of skill… it would be good for your mental health not to expect a face.”
“Like a good-looking contemplative? Ha, then it can’t be…”
“Did applicant No. 12 have any hesitation when choosing an instrument?”
I know roughly what I’m doing with the silhouette, but it’s different from what I saw in person. At the director’s question, the staff scratched their heads.
“Well, even to me, it’s a bit absurd… It just seemed like they were playing random instruments nearby.”
“Really?”
“You mean you can handle it all?”
In addition to the drums, bass, and guitars for the band, there were also classical instruments in the tent. There were even a few traditional instruments such as daegeum and piri.
“At the end, he wanted to play the violin right next to him, so he stopped because of time.”
A violin, a violin… Shin Ji-won’s expression became strange. He frowned at Choi Soo-jin’s stare, which seemed to pierce his face.
“why?”
“No, nothing.”
Choi Soo-jin rubbed her hands and said.
“I look forward to it. Second audition.”
Time passed and the day of the second audition came. Six people were selected after filtering and filtering in the first round, and two of them must be selected.
“Please be handsome. No, it’s fine as long as your skin is clean…”
“What are you doing?”
“pray. you do too I hope number 12 is the jackpot.”
Sujin Choi searched for gods such as Jesus, Buddha, Shiva, Allah and others.
“Wake. I’ll have to see the next applicant.”
“ah.”
Shin Ji-won sighed. It’s not that I don’t understand her eccentricity. The previous four applicants were also quite good, but ‘this is it!’ because no one did. Two applicants remain. You have to put your hopes on the people you’ve been paying attention to.
Eventually, Kang Ha-joon, who was in turn 5, sat down in front of them. Shin Ji-won’s eyes shone sharply.
‘No. 13······ It was pretty good at the first audition.’
He met the condition of being a former idol wannabe, and he was handsome with a clean face. Shin Ji-won opened his mouth.
“What was the reason you sang during the first audition?”
“In fact, there are some that have run out of money… I also thought of it as an instrument.”
Kang Ha-joon played guitar, bass and drums. Although it was a beginner’s skill, the foundation was solid.
If you train before filming, you will do well. In addition, I highly praised the courage to sing passionately and even scat.
“The audition is over. Thanks for your efforts.”
“thank you!”
In addition, the answer that his voice was also an instrument echoed. After the questions and answers were finished, the two sent Kang Ha-joon whispering.
“You have a nice face. You used to sing quite a bit before… how about playing?”
“I think it will become plausible with a little touch.”
“okay? Then check number 13 and number 23 from earlier…”
The two exchanged words and looked through the door. The last turn, finally number 12. Who is the mysterious person who played various instruments at a high level?
“Come on in!”
With a click, the door opened and the tall man who entered was someone they knew.
It swept last year and the first half of this year, and for better or for worse, it has been featured in various media outlets. Even now, when I turn on the TV, his commercials come out from time to time.
“omg······.”
Why is that person here? Choi Soo-jin and Shin Ji-won opened their eyes wide.
“hello. This is applicant number 12, Yoon J.”
Choi Soo-jin covered her mouth with both hands and took a deep breath. Did my prayer to find multiple gods work?
‘Ah, it’s a jackpot .’
