Chapter 20 The Work of the Broker
The standby room is used for rest after work, so it is naturally not too far from the set.
After a few steps, Shi Zhenqiu arrived at the place.
I gently pushed open the door and walked in, it was very quiet inside.
It’s not that there are no one, on the contrary, there are many, but no one speaks.
The uncle who talked the most before was sitting in the middle of the room, closed his eyes and rested.
The swearing uncle was lying in the corner, holding his cell phone and rummaging on what he was looking for.
The fat man was already horizontal, facing the wall, but his big butt was exposed, as round as a football.
The uncle who didn't talk much at this time talked the most because he was calling in front of the mirror.
There is also a sick uncle who is holding this book and is very diligent and studious.
The youngest furry child was very energetic. When he saw him come in, he took the initiative to greet him.
"Ouch, our newcomer, how do you feel?"
Seeing that the waiting room was so quiet, Shi Zhenqiu didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Thank you for your concern, it's okay for the time being, but I'm still confused and don't know what to do."
"Hey, don't be modest, you've done a good job. Have you ever staged comedy in the local area before?"
Shi Zhenqiu scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly: "No, no. I just retired and didn't find any good job in my hometown. I just wanted to come to Seoul to find opportunities. I originally planned to be an agent, but I didn't expect to become an artist."
The fur-faced child looks good at the sight and always smiles.
He patted Shi Zhenqiu on the shoulder and said very sunnyly: "I am optimistic about you. If you continue to show this, you will gain a foothold. I am Lu Hongzhe, I should be younger than me, just call me brother."
"I'm from 1983, senior..."
Lu Hongzhe was even more certain.
"That's right, I'm from 79 years old, four years older than you."
In such a quiet place, it is rare for someone to approach, so Shi Zhenqiu quickly got close.
"Brother Hong Zhe, how should I do this show? I don't know anything."
It can be seen that Lu Hongzhe likes to be helpful, especially when his juniors ask for advice, he enjoys the taste of being a senior.
"It's actually not difficult to do a show. Just react quickly and follow that big brother's steps."
Seeing him pointing at the uncle who was glasses who closed his eyes and rested, Shi Zhenqiu asked in a low voice: "Is he the boss?"
Lu Hongzhe burst out laughing.
"What boss? We are not a club here. He is the main mc, the person in charge of the program. Wait, don't you not know who he is, right?"
Compared to Lu Hongzhe's surprise, Shi Zhenqiu was inexplicably surprised.
"Is this senior very famous?"
Lu Hongzhe slapped his forehead and fainted.
It's so weird. They're all about to do the show, but they don't even know the hottest mc in the Republic of Korea.
He quickly pulled Shi Zhenqiu to Uncle Glasses and introduced him to him.
"This person is the most popular mc in our Korean art world at present, Yoo Jae-suk. He is my very close elder brother, just call me elder brother too."
Shi Zhenqiu is not stupid. This uncle with glasses has never opened his eyes since he came in. He is obviously keeping his distance from him.
I am not familiar with others, so I rashly call myself big brother, which will only make myself boring.
So he still treated the same respectfully.
"Senior Liu Zai-suk, please take care of me in the future."
It was not until he spoke that Uncle Glasses opened his eyes and just smiled slightly.
"Well, you did a good job just now. But there is still a lot of work to do next, don't relax."
"Yes, I'll work hard until the end."
This is the first sentence that Shi Zhenqiu and Yoo Jae-suk said outside the camera.
Afterwards, although Yoo Jae-suk did not close his eyes, he picked up the script and started reading it, obviously without the desire to continue the conversation.
Shi Zhenqiu was very sensible and took the initiative to retreat.
Lu Hongzhe also understood that this newcomer didn't even recognize Liu Zaishi, so the others were sure of it.
He brought Shi Zhenqiu to the swearing uncle again.
"This is Brother Park Myung Soo, the oldest in our show. Although he has a bad temper, he is not bad. You will know if you have more contact."
The uncle who scolded him had an alien face, and as Lu Hongzhe said, his temper was really not very good.
Before Shi Zhenqiu could greet him, he started scolding him.
"Didn't you see everyone resting? Are there people sleeping? What are you doing when you walk around? If you have this time, go get some coffee. Really, are newcomers so unscrupulous?"
Shi Zhenqiu's heart trembled, and he didn't expect that this person's temper would be so stinky.
But since he was a senior, he had spoken, he dared not be disobedient.
This is how Korean society is. The younger generation and the newcomer are the mission of being subscribed. He has been called in this way before, so he did not accept incompetence.
After taking the money given by Park Myung-soo, he quickly left the standby room.
It's just that this is his first time here in mbc. He left the standby room door and didn't know where it is.
While hesitating, Li Dakui had already run over.
He is now Shi Zhenqiu's agent, and his scope of activities is naturally centered on Shi Zhenqiu.
"Why did it come out?"
Shi Zhenqiu Liang took the money in Liang's hand and said, "Senior Park Myung-soo asked me to buy some coffee, but I don't know the way."
"Ah, you're doing it very quickly. It's so much that your seniors ask you to run errands?" Li Dakui was surprised.
Don’t think it’s so embarrassing to be called. If you are not close to your seniors, you won’t get such an opportunity.
Shi Zhenqiu smiled bitterly.
"What's so good? I'm just idling and I've driven me out. Until now, I've only known the names of the three seniors."
Li Dakui doesn't think so.
"You just don't understand. Everyone has been working for a long time and they are all very tired. So after returning to the standby room, of course they have to rest. If you get up dryly, can the seniors be in a good mood? I also asked about that senior Park Myung-soo. What I do best is to scold funny, but people are real and not bad. He asks you to run this leg and buy something that can refresh everyone. Isn't this a chance to get close?"
"Is that true?" Shi Zhenqiu was skeptical.
Li Dakui was more sure.
"The entertainment industry is different from other industries. It has more complexity. It is full of dangers. So it is not easy to get close to each other. You still have few contacts, so it is very fussy. Some program teams cooperate with each other when recording. When the camera stopped, they didn't even say a word. You ran errands to seniors as soon as you came, which means that this place is really good. Let's go, I'll take you to find a place. I wasn't idle just now, and I also talked to seniors' agents and got a lot of information. This time I was just using it."
Shi Zhenqiu didn't quite understand what it was to get information from his seniors' agents.
But when he arrived at the cafe, something that shocked him happened.
Li Dakui knew everything about everyone and fiddled with everyone's situation.
"The senior Yoo Jae-suk, who wears glasses, has to host a show, so he talks a lot and his throat is burdened with a lot. So he has to buy watermelon juice for him to clear heat and eliminate phlegm, which will help protect his throat."
"Senior Park Myung-soo is in a normal body and is prone to fatigue, so the hot hot coffee helps to refresh the spirit."
"That honest uncle is named Kim Sung-soo, who is actually a member of the singing group Cool. Because he is not well-positioned on the show and is always very nervous, so iced coffee will help him relieve stress."
"The one who seems to be sick is Senior Lee Yunxi. He has a nickname called National Disease Bone. So in such cold weather, ginger tea helps to remove cold and keep warm and good for his health."
"That very arrogant fat man is Senior Jung Hyung-dun, who is a little afraid of being alive, but because he is fat, he is always hungry. Just drink Coke for him and you can bring a sandwich by the way."
"The youngest one is Senior Lu Hongzhe. His agent said that he likes to eat sweets. So hot chocolate will definitely make him happy."
Seeing Li Dakui paying money quickly and telling it in a casual manner, Shi Zhenqiu was shocked.
"Oh, brother, where did you get these things?"
Li Dakui sneered.
"Tsk, do you think your agents can sleep when you are recording a show? Let me tell you, when you are busy, I am also busy. I am busy with socializing. I bought coffee for several senior agents and helped with some small things. Finally, I got their recognition. So I got these things when chatting. Boy, survive in this circle, your brain must be alive, your hands and feet must be fast, and your mouth must be sweet. You, learn slowly."
Seeing Li Dakui walking in front with something in hand, Shi Zhenqiu felt warm.
He knew that Li Dakui did these things to gain a foothold in this show.
With such a close brother and responsible agent, the future seems to be not that difficult.
After returning to the standby room, according to Li Dakui's description, Shi Zhenqiu diligently distributed the things he bought to everyone, and indeed with a kind smile.
After drinking the cold and comfortable watermelon juice, Liu Zaishi coughed twice, and sure enough, his throat was not so hoarse.
"Okay, Zhenqiu, you can sit down and rest. There are still fifteen minutes left, and the next recording will begin."
This was the first time that Liu Zaishi took the initiative to talk to him. Shi Zhenqiu was flattered and hurriedly found a position to stick to the edge, and leaned against it.
Park Myung-soo gave him a lot of money. After buying so many things, there was actually some leftovers. Shi Zhenqiu took out the remaining money and prepared to return it to Park Myung-soo.
"Ah, do you look down on me? Am I the one who regards money as life?"
Although he was scolded, with Li Dakui's information, Shi Zhenqiu also knew that this senior only looked fierce on the surface.
Since he pretended to be generous and cost several thousand yuan, Shi Zhenqiu happily put it in his pocket.
In the following time, everything in the standby room was as usual.
What should be resting, what should be eaten, what should be called, what should be called.
But Shi Zhenqiu noticed that the senior Kim Sung-soo who had been calling had a very ugly face and seemed to have encountered something bad.
