Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 149

The kids decided to go to room 1, which was the farthest from the fire. 

Na-jin reached for the doorknob, but

Ow, hot!

She screamed at the hot temperature. 

Na-jin waved her hand in the air and poured some water on her palm. 

Kim Jukyung asked with a worried voice, seeing Na-jins twisted face.

Whats wrong?

The doorknob is hot.

At that, Kim Hanseok remembered something. 

An action movie he watched with his dad. 

He felt a chill from his toes.

Hyung, hyung. It cant be hot. It will explode if air gets in!

Kim Hanseok said with a startled voice.

What?

It will explode if air gets in when you open the door. I saw it in a movie! There might be fire inside!

At Kim Hanseoks words, Na-jin and Kim Jukyung backed away from the door of room 1. 

The smoke was coming from over there There was no way there was fire here But they didnt feel like opening the door of room 1 either.

Lets go to another room.

Kim Jukyung said, and Na-jin and Kim Hanseok nodded. 

Na-jin stood in front of the door of room 3, which was away from room 1. 

The doorknob felt cold when she touched it lightly with the back of her hand.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Na-jin grabbed the doorknob of the karaoke room door that was tightly closed.

She swallowed her saliva. 

Her hand holding the doorknob was damp. 

Her heart was pounding. 

Would this room be okay? 

Explosion, that was a scary word. 

Na-jins hand trembled.

Elementary school student Na-jin was not a superhero. 

She wanted to meet her mom and dad who were waiting for her, she made a firm resolution, but she became ordinary again in front of another fear. 

This time, the two kids helped her.

Kim Hanseok, who was covering his mouth with a wet tissue, looked at Na-jin. 

He saw her shaking hand. 

He didnt remember what the script said, he only remembered his hyungs shining eyes.

This time, Ill!

Kim Hanseok reached out and grabbed Na-jins hand.

Lets open it together. Hyung.

Kim Jukyung put her hand on top of theirs.

Yeah. Jina.

Okay.

Na-jin felt the warmth on her hand and thought. 

She couldnt stay here forever. 

She had moved hard even though she was scared. 

She wanted to go home with her friends.

The fear in Na-jins eyes turned dark again. 

The kids smiled at Na-jins reliable face.

They put strength into their hands holding the doorknob.

The door of room 3 opened wide.

Good job!

After all the shooting was over, Seo-jun, who had joined late due to a sudden dispatch and shot with the child actors, exchanged phone numbers with a firefighter who had a flustered face.

Behind him were staff members and employees of Gureum holding signboards with Seo-juns signature on them with proud faces.

Oh, is that really actor Lee Seo-jun?

Yes. He might appear in this public service advertisement.

Might?

The planning team leader smiled.

Theres still a screening at the fire department left.

They were the ones who had the final say. 

He swallowed his words, but the firefighter smiled brightly.

Theyll definitely approve it at the fire department.

The planning team leader thought so too.

***

Two weeks later, fire department conference room.

To watch the public service advertisement video produced by Gureum, a production company, officials and executives gathered in one place.

A web drama? Will that work as a promotion?

Why didnt you just get a celebrity to donate their talent as usual?

People who hated change complained. 

The planning team leader and the public relations officer of Gureum smiled secretly. 

They didnt know it would be so fun to have an unbeatable card in their hands as Eul.

The public relations officer poked the planning team leaders side.

You should have told me too, right? I wanted to get his autograph!

He asked me to keep it a secret from Cocoa Entertainment What if he cancels his appearance?

The planning team leader whispered back, holding the signboard he got from Seo-jun in a frame.

Meanwhile, people who complained closed their mouths one by one. 

Even if they complained, the result was already made. 

They decided to oppose after watching the video and crossed their arms as if they had erected a solid shield. 

The public relations officer who glanced at the situation opened his mouth.

Then well watch the public service advertisement video. This public service advertisement is divided into TV advertisement and YouTube upload. First, well watch the TV advertisement video.

Along with the public relations officers words, a video appeared on the screen. 

Three kids singing in a small room appeared. 

A public servant who complained asked his subordinate.

Is it for children?

Yes. Thats why we hired three child actors.

Are they the child actors I know?

The public servant who was about to ask about the cast widened his eyes.

The face of the boy holding the microphone. 

It was a face he never expected to see here.

Not only that, but everyone in the conference room was shocked to see the video.

That That

Really?

People who had crossed their arms as if they had a solid shield unknowingly uncrossed their arms and leaned forward. 

Some even got up from their seats. 

They looked at the video with disbelief. 

The planning team leader clenched his fist.

After playing the video several times, without anyones opposition, it was decided to use Gureums public service advertisement.

***

Passed at once! No revision!

Woohoo!!!

The planning team leader said after returning to the company after the screening at the fire department. 

The employees cheered sincerely.

It was very rare for a client to like an advertisement at once. 

No, not only advertisements, but almost everywhere where there was a gap in creative fields without precise specifications.

Revision after revision after revision.

And finally, the clients words that the first one was better. 

Giving up was Gureum employees daily life.

Kim Jihyun, who had lost his mind after seven revisions, said that.

Our company name Is it not Gureum, which means cloud in the sky, but Gureum, which means rolling?

It seems so.

The planning team leader, who had met the client six times already, agreed with a pale face.

It seemed like yesterday, but no revision passed!

The employees cheered sincerely. 

The planning team leader smiled.

 There was still good news left.

The boss said to go home early today!

The boss is the best!

The second cheer erupted.

Lets finish what were doing and go home!

Yes!

The employees finished their work with fire in their eyes. 

They had set a generous deadline for the revision of the fire department public service advertisement, but since there was nothing to revise, the employees didnt have much to do. 

The employees who turned off their computers quickly packed their bags.

Ding-

The planning team leader, who was packing his bag with a happy face, heard his phone ring. 

It was a text notification.

Huh? Mun

Ding-

Ding-

Ding-

His phone kept ringing, not with a call sound but with text notifications. 

The planning team leader picked up his phone with a puzzled face. 

He froze as he checked the texts.

Ding-

Ding-

Ding-

The text notifications continued like a phone call sound. 

Kim Jihyun, who had packed everything, asked the frozen planning team leader.

Team leader, who is calling you?

Dont you have to answer quickly?

The planning team leader showed his phone to the employees with a blank face.

[Hello. This is KBC broadcasting station]

[Nice to meet you. This is MBS]

[This is SBC broadcasting station]

[This is TVM]

As the employees read the texts, more texts arrived.

[Actor Na-jins advertisement]

[Please let us air it on our channel]

The employees eyes widened.

Oh my god Oh my god

How did they find out?

At Kim Jihyuns words, the employees and the planning team leader thought of the stiff fire department building. 

They must have contacted their acquaintances in the broadcasting industry as soon as they left the conference room.

The text notifications still ringing, the planning team leader wiped his face.

To send out a public service advertisement on broadcast, they had to buy public service advertisement time from the broadcasting station. 

Because there was a legal ratio of how much public service advertisement each broadcasting station had to air, it was cheaper than commercial advertisement time.

I was going to buy it now

They had a set budget, so they planned to choose one of the three terrestrial broadcasting stations and inquire.

They usually contacted KBC first. Knowing that, other broadcasting stations were sending more and more texts.

KBC was not relaxed either and kept sending texts.

At this rate, we wont be paying them money, but theyll be paying us money, right?

It seems like it?

Maybe they wouldnt pay directly, but they would offer something similar as compensation. 

They lost their words at a situation they had never experienced before. 

The planning team leader thought he should suggest a bonus to the boss.

***

Seo-jun and Seo Eunhyes eyes widened.

All broadcasting stations?

Yes.

Not just terrestrial ones?

At Seo-juns words, Anh Da Ho smiled awkwardly. 

Cocoa Entertainment was also surprised by the news from Gureum.

They thought there would be some who would be greedy, but they were speechless at the list of contracted broadcasting stations.

Almost all?

Wow.

Seo-jun blinked his eyes and read the paper again.

[KBC, SBC, MBC, TVM, OCM, general programming channels, cable]

Seo-jun opened his mouth as he read the list.

But can we air this much?

Well, advertisements do air on different channels But not this much. It costs a lot of money.

Public service advertisements have low budgets, right? If we buy this much, well run out of money

At Seo-juns worry, Anh Da Ho laughed.

They all offer very low prices.

It was so low that he wondered if it was okay. 

Gureum also freaked out at the discounts and other compensation they offered. 

The boss of Gureum sighed.

If it was because we did well, we could just choose the best one, but its not because of our company but because of actor Lee Seo-jun.

In the end, they reached a point where they had to ask Cocoa Entertainments opinion.

Cocoa Entertainment also pondered.

No matter how good something was, people would get tired of it if they heard it too much. 

And no matter how Lee Seo-jun he was, if he appeared on every channel without rest, there would surely be people who would get sick of him.

Theres also image consumption

For that reason, Cocoa Entertainment suggested buying less than the usual frequency of public service advertisements airing, but as many broadcasting stations advertisement times as possible.

The broadcasting stations agreed too. 

It was better for everyone to agree and air the advertisement at different times than for someone to monopolize it.

The problem was the long YouTube upload video. 

It was too long to air as an advertisement, but the broadcasting station bastards, no, people grabbed their ankles and begged. 

The planning team leader laughed bitterly and told them.

In the end, the persistent broadcasting station bastards agreed to donate most of the advertisement fees before and after the video to the fire department.

Theyll probably eat up the other advertisement fees they sell by inserting them.

Thinking of the finished negotiation, Anh Da Ho was asked by Seo Eunhye.

Anh Da Ho. When will the first advertisement air?

It will air on KBC2 channel. This Sunday at 7 p.m. And the YouTube video will air at 8:40 p.m.

Ill have to watch it then.

Yeah!

As Seo-jun and Seo Eunhye told their acquaintances about the advertisement, each broadcasting station also started to send out press releases.

=Not a public service video?

=What is a public service video?

=I dont know. Maybe its an advertisement if its short, and a video if its long?

-But if its 10 minutes long, that means Seo-jun acted in it, right? Im looking forward to it!
