Episode 95
Usually, when sending scripts via email, they don’t mention the contract fee.
It was typical to discuss it in person when meeting directly.
‘This must mean they really want to bring Ji-hu on board.’
If it’s a large amount that others wouldn’t offer, it would certainly have a preemptive effect.
“For now, they’re saying they want to schedule a meeting date as quickly as possible. The date they suggested is three days.”
At Choi Tae-geon’s words, Baek Do-kyung pondered.
‘Did the lead actor fall through?’
If someone had fallen through, it was entirely possible.
If they already had a schedule set, they would need to find someone quickly.
He could somewhat understand why they wrote the email that way.
‘But I can’t let him take on just any project.’
Baek Do-kyung said to Choi Tae-geon.
“Tae-geon, please check the script as quickly as possible and pass it on to Ji-hu.”
“Understood!”
Although Kim Ji-hu would make good judgments on his own, there was a chance he might be tempted by the money, so he entrusted the review work to Choi Tae-geon.
And Baek Do-kyung looked into that studio.
‘Ju-am Studio… It’s not a completely unknown studio.’
He needed to carefully check the current situation first.
Whether they were involved in anything strange, or if it was possibly connected to Park, the President.
‘But I wonder if it’s even possible… The timing is too tight…’
Even Baek Do-kyung couldn’t beat time.
Especially in cases like this, he used the method of asking people around him to find out, which made it even more difficult.
‘But I can’t easily let this opportunity slip by.’
Baek Do-kyung planned to do his best to find out.
He wanted to help Kim Ji-hu, who stayed at Hanbit Entertainment instead of going to RT Entertainment, gain both money and honor to the maximum.

-Office Apocalypse was so satisfying until the very end.
It’s truly a perfect beginning and ending. Amazing. Why are Kim Ji-hu and Oh Jin-woo so good at acting?
The content was great too
The chemistry between Kim Ji-hoo and Oh Jin-woo is seriously amazing
For real, I love how it’s hilarious when it’s funny and incredibly serious when it needs to be
ㄴ Kim Jihu feels like he’s the one holding everything together
No way, would Kim Jihu really cover for him? Oh Jinwoo is several years his senior, you know?
– This is really legendary, OA.
I need to rewatch it right away.
What is Noah
No no, Office Apocalypse
No no no who the hell abbreviates it like that, fuck
-My thoughts after watching it all.
I want to see a work where Kim Ji-hu is the protagonist.
All the works so far feel somewhat unsatisfying, you could say.
Isn’t there a work where Kim Ji-hu appears constantly?
For real lol I just want to watch Kim Jihu’s acting until I’m sick of it
Even just a one-man show would be fun lol
PD Seo Min-sik thought while reading such community reactions.
Would it be right for him to take such a hot actor?
But in the end, wouldn’t it be nothing to lose anyway?
Didn’t Kim Ji-hu directly say he wanted to work on a project together with him?
He showed that much sincerity, so not even sending a script would actually be disrespectful to Kim Ji-hu, he thought.
PD Seo Min-sik came to a conclusion after much deliberation.
“Let’s send it.”
In the end, he would leave the judgment to Kim Ji-hu, and even if it meant pulling out SBC’s pillars to match Kim Ji-hu’s price, whether it would be a final flame or help them survive again, he felt it was right to try something.
When Kim Deok-chil said he would bet even his job on this match, he shouldn’t just sit here like this.
“Hyaaaah!!!!”
PD Seo Min-sik psyched himself up and immediately sent an email to Hanbit Entertainment.
***
“Hehe…”
Kim Ji-hu was sitting at the dining table eating, with a drama he hadn’t seen playing on his phone in front of him.
To anyone watching, it would look like someone eating alone at home, but he wasn’t alone.
“…Why have you been standing there this whole time?”
Kim Ji-hu finally spoke up because it was too bothersome.
The reason was Kim Ji-hye, who kept hovering in front of him even though she had already finished eating.
“Haven’t you seen the article yet? Hehe, your information is slow.”
“Uh, I’m not going to keep watching it?”
“Why! Look at it!”
“I don’t want to.”
“Look at it! Hurry up and go online! And search for Kim Ji-hye! Or at least Kim Ji-hu!”
“This drama is interesting.”
When Kim Ji-hu played dumb, Kim Ji-hye glared at him fiercely.
Then she picked up her phone and started saying something.
“The success story of siblings Kim Ji-hu and Kim Ji-hye. What kind of bloodline were they born with? Genius siblings. The older brother took Netflix’s 1st place, the younger sister took 1st place on the music charts.”
Hearing those words, Kim Ji-hu’s eyes widened.
“You got 1st place?”
“Of course~. Who do you think I am~.”
At Kim Ji-hu’s reaction, Kim Ji-hye struck a triumphant pose and snorted.
“Congratulations.”
Of course, Kim Ji-hu only gave one dry reaction before focusing on the drama again.
“That’s it? Your lovely sister got 1st place?”
“Then what should I do?”
“You could say things like ‘Our sister is the best! As expected of my sister, I feel good that we got 1st place together!'”
“Oursisteristhebestasexpectedofmysisterfeelgoodthatweget1stplacetogether.”
“Not like that! You’re good at acting! At least act it out!”
As the two were bickering like that, Grandmother came out of her room.
“Our puppy seems very disappointed in her brother.”
“Yes! Grandmother! Scold my brother!”
“Ji-hu, give her some praise. The child wanted to brag to you so much that she kept telling me about it.”
When even Grandmother said that, Kim Ji-hu nodded.
“Congratulations. Sincerely…”
“Mm… thanks.”
At the sincere congratulations, Kim Ji-hye also scratched her head as if embarrassed.
Kim Ji-hu also felt somewhat awkward.
Although he had said it himself, they had rarely exchanged such words with each other.
Bzzzz-
In that awkward atmosphere, Kim Ji-hu’s phone rang.
Kim Ji-hu glanced around slightly.
“An-answer it.”
“Ahem… Hello.”
-Ji-hu, this is Baek Do-kyung.
Kim Ji-hu looked at his phone again with a slightly puzzled expression.
It was definitely Choi Tae-geon’s phone number, but Baek Do-kyung’s voice came through.
“This is… the manager’s phone?”
-Ah, my phone is busy with various calls right now. I contacted you because I have something to discuss.
“What is it…?”
Baek Do-kyung spoke with slight hesitation.
-Well… a place called Ju-am Studio sent a script and asked us to review it.
“A script?”
-Yes, I could just send you the script, but… they seem quite urgent about it.
At those words, Kim Ji-hu also broke out in a cold sweat.
‘B-but I haven’t seen PD Seo Min-sik’s script yet…’
Actually, he could just refuse.
After all, he had already decided to work on PD Seo Min-sik’s project.
Just as Kim Ji-hu was about to voice his refusal with that mindset.
-But the contract fee is 2.1 billion won.
“…Excuse me?”
The words of refusal were swallowed back down.
‘It’s too much money to refuse, isn’t it?’
2.1 billion won.
Could an office worker ever touch this kind of money in their lifetime?
If Kim Ji-hu had lived as a blogger, it was money he couldn’t earn no matter how hard he worked.
If PD Seo Min-sik heard this amount, he would probably throw loyalty aside and tell him to take it immediately.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to earn 2.1 billion won first and then give some to PD Seo Min-sik…’
The fact that such thoughts even crossed his mind said it all.
-We’ve reviewed the script as conservatively as possible, but it still received favorable reviews. So I thought it would be good if Ji-hu could look at it quickly… that’s why I contacted you.
“When… do I need to give you an answer?”
-At the latest… the day after tomorrow.
“D-don’t we have YouTube filming today too?”
-For now, that… should probably be postponed. I’ll contact Oh Jin-woo about it, so could you look at this script today, think it over, and contact us the day after tomorrow?
“Understood…!”
The YouTube filming only involved Choi Tae-geon, Oh Jin-woo, and about one Content Team member anyway, so postponing it was possible with just Oh Jin-woo’s agreement.
Since Oh Jin-woo would be taking a break for a while anyway, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
But this wasn’t the end.
-And… PD Seo Min-sik also sent a script.
“…”
-He said Ji-hu requested it… I think it would be good for Ji-hu to look at it once and make a judgment.
A difficult problem had arrived before Kim Ji-hu’s eyes.
***
Two scripts flew to Kim Ji-hu’s phone like that.
One was Ju-am Studio’s 2.1 billion won script.
The other was PD Seo Min-sik’s script.
‘Actually, PD Seo Min-sik is such a proven PD…’
And the script title was his finishing move.
It seemed like a script that contained PD Seo Min-sik’s determination to succeed no matter what this time.
And Ju-am Studio, while not tremendously famous, was a place that had produced quite a few small-scale works.
‘But I have to choose one of these…’
Normally he could read the scripts and make a judgment, but right now he couldn’t do that.
‘No, but if I look at a script, it will definitely appear as a mission, right?’
The previous two cases were like that, but the first one was probably because of gaining the ability in the first place, so that was understandable.
The second one might have just been a coincidence too.
Gulp.
Kim Ji-hu swallowed.
He tried to look at one of these two scripts for testing purposes.
2.1 billion won?
Or the work of his benefactor who had helped him?
After much deliberation, Kim Ji-hu reached a conclusion.
“This one.”
And so Kim Ji-hu opened one of the scripts.
