Peninsula: From a supporting actor to the best actor in Chungmuro

Chapter 11 Zixia's Tears

The fluorescent tubes in the corridor of Apgujeong Recording Studios hummed.

Kim Dae-won was boasting to the cleaning lady, "My artist is going to punch Lee Byung-hun and kick Song Kang-ho."

The cleaning lady couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes as she pushed the trash can away.

The glass door clicked open.

The auditionees waiting in the corridor all looked up.

Assistant Director Li peeked through the crack in the door:

"Grudin is here, everyone please go back."

Someone in the crowd immediately asked loudly:
"May I ask who made the order?"

"Kang Jae-hoon."

Upon hearing this, the KBS voice actors immediately started cursing:

"Shit, after grabbing the drama, the lady brother is now grabbing the dubbing?"

The new voice actor wearing black-framed glasses grabbed Assistant Director Li's sleeve:
"At least tell us where we lost"

"I know how to dress like a woman~"

The voice actor in the plaid shirt suddenly laughed strangely and pinched his throat to imitate Jiang Zaixun's stage accent: "Run, my child——"

This voice instantly made the originally depressing atmosphere become a little absurd.

Everyone fell into a brief silence.

Jiang Zaixun scrambled towards the exit along the wall. When his lower back hit the fire hydrant, Jin Dayuan clamped his elbow around his neck.
"What are you slipping away for? Now you are Grubenlu."

"Uh"

Jin Dayuan's elbows clamped tighter:

"Hold your head high! Your worth has gone up by one zero now!"

"Even if it's zero, you still have to breathe, brother."

Kang Jae-hoon was struggling while clinging to the fire hydrant and happened to meet the death stare of the KBS voice actor.

The other party raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Jiang Zaixun bowed 90 degrees reflexively, and when he stood up, the back of his head hit Jin Dayuan's chin with a "bang".

"Ashi."

"Jiang Jae-hoon! Universal wants it!"

Just as Kim Dae-won was about to take Kang Jae-hoon away, Assistant Director Lee caught up with them, waving the contract.

"Let's discuss this in detail with SEM tomorrow!"

"..."

The range hood at Chenghao Fried Chicken Shop was still rumbling as usual.

When Kang Jae-hoon arrived, Park Sung-ho's teasing was late but came true:
"The lady has arrived——"

"Brother Cheng Hao, three fried chickens, one is packed and not fried."

"Did the lady brother win the lottery?"

Jiang Zaixun scratched his head and smiled foolishly:
"I passed the audition, and I'm the voice of Gru."

Jin Dayuan, holding a toothpick, leaned against the counter and raised his eyebrows.

"Sung-ho's fried chicken is 30% of the credit."

"Only 30%?"

Park Sung-ho pointed at himself while shaking the colander: "Without me, how could he get into the recording studio?"

"When this guy becomes famous, I'll endorse your store for free."

Jin Dayuan threw out a SEM company business card.

Park Sung-ho narrowed his eyes and flicked his business card: "So the fried chicken today is on me?"

"if not?"

Jin Dayuan casually grabbed the free kimchi on the counter and said, "SEM's top agent will personally negotiate the endorsement. The appearance fee is enough to buy you fried chicken for half a year."

Park Sung-ho's colander accurately caught Kim Dae-won's hand as he was trying to steal kimchi:

"Wait, how many agents does SEM have?"

"There's only Brother Dayuan."

Jin Dayuan glanced at Jiang Zaixun speechlessly: "I'm discussing a project worth hundreds of millions of yuan, don't interrupt."

Park Sung-ho's colander left a red mark on the back of Kim Dae-won's hand:
"Huh, SEM's top agent even cheated people out of their fried chicken money?"

Jin Dayuan shook his hands and hissed, "This is called strategic investment! Wait until this guy's dubbing fee arrives."

“I still have to pay the rent after the money is paid.”

Jiang Zaixun suddenly interrupted and took out a bottle of Dior Wilderness perfume from his pocket:

"By the way, Brother Cheng Hao, what does it mean when a woman gives a man perfume?"

Jin Dayuan rubbed the back of his hand, which was red from being hit by the colander, and sneered:

"I told you I think you stink."

"Who sent it? Your roommate?" Park Sung-ho looked curious.

"Correct."

"emm"

Park Chenghao rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then said:

"There are only three possibilities when a woman gives a man perfume. One, like Dayuan said, she thinks you stink. Two, she wants you to smell like her dog. Three..."

"What's three?"

Jiang Jae-hoon asked hurriedly.

"Three is leaving a mark on you."

"Mark?" Park Sung-ho poked the tip of the colander at Jiang Jae-hoon's chest. "Have you seen 'A Chinese Odyssey'? It's like Zixia shed a tear in Zhizunbao's heart, and this perfume is the invisible stamp she put on you."

Jiang Zaixun touched his chest and muttered:
“The Bible is not that corny.”

"My ex-wife also gave me perfume, but she later ran off with her fitness trainer."

Jiang Jae-hoon: “…”

This is not funny at all.

At this moment, the glass door was pushed open with a "ding dong" sound.

A female student couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Jiang Zaixun:

"Wow, you're such a lady! I've seen the live broadcast of the play 'Macbeth'! Can I take a picture with you?"

Park Sung-ho's colander blocked her phone camera:
"We can only take pictures if you spend more than 50,000 won!"

Jin Dayuan quickly elbowed Jiang Zaixun:
"Come on, business! You're now an artist whose value has gone up by zero!"

Jiang Zaixun came back to his senses and said at a loss: "What pose should I take?"

"Heart, idiot!"

Jin Dayuan forcibly twisted his fingers: "Left hand in a circle, right hand on waist - Ah Xi, you think you are Ultraman shooting beams!"

"..."

When Kang Jae-hoon pushed open the door carrying fried chicken, Lee Sung-kyung was kneeling on the floor wearing a shower cap and tidying up the refrigerator.

"shoe."

She didn't even turn her head.

"Oh."

Jiang Jae-hoon hurriedly stepped back to straighten his canvas shoes.

"clang--"

He knocked the foil bag against the glass coffee table.

“Low-fat fried.”

"Don't eat."

Jiang Zaixun sat cross-legged on the sofa:

“I didn’t add any oil. I fried it in an air fryer.”

"A model eating fried chicken at night is tantamount to suicide."

"Occasionally—"

"Do you think I'm you?"

Without even looking back, she threw the empty yogurt bottle into the recycling bin.

"I auditioned."

"Oh."

"That's it?"

"How about setting off fireworks to celebrate?"

Li Jingcheng frowned and threw the hairy kimchi in the refrigerator into the trash bag.

"The Universal producer said my voice sounded like whiskey mixed with gunpowder."

"cough--"

Li Jingcheng choked on his own saliva:
"You? Whiskey? Convenience store soju is more like that."

"It's true! The contract will be signed tomorrow. Has the Bible seen "A Chinese Odyssey"?"

"have not seen."

"Brother Chenghao said that a woman giving a man perfume is the same as Zixia shedding a tear in Zhizunbao's heart."

"Has he ever been in love?"

"Divorced twice."

"So you still believe it?"

Jiang Zaixun's nails unconsciously scratched the seam of the sofa:
"So it's really a promotional giveaway?"

"otherwise?"

"Snapped!"

The refrigerator door was slammed shut, and Li Jingcheng got up and walked into the bathroom.

Jiang Zaixun stared at her straight shoulders for two seconds and said, "Bible, you must have read 'A Chinese Odyssey', right?"

"You'll have to pay rent if you ask again."

After a while.

Jiang Zaixun took out his mobile phone and searched for the cut of Zixia Fairy from "A Chinese Odyssey" and deliberately turned up the volume to the maximum.

Suddenly, the sound of a hair dryer was heard in the bathroom, which just happened to cover up the line in the video: "My crush is a hero."

……

late at night.

Jiang Zaixun was curled up in bed watching "Despicable Me".

A message suddenly popped up on Lee Sung Kyung's Kakao Talk:

[Send me the electronic version of the audition contract]

【? 】

【Help you check if there is a selling clause】

【Oh】

[By the way, block Park Sung-ho’s number]
