Chapter 126: Unmanned Café (2)

Chapter 126: Unmanned Café (2)

Despite the scolding, Seo Arin just smiled warmly.

Considering their friendship from working on several projects together, even this chit-chat was enjoyable.

After all, she was the only actor friend who had survived.

But were really amazing, arent we? Surviving until the 8th round.

Thats true.

Apparently, there are only a handful of people left in the entertainment industry who survived.

Did that many die?

Of course! You still dont know? Almost all seniors, juniors, singers, and idols have died. About 70% of celebrities are dead.

Cant be. I didnt think it was that bad

It seems that youve been attending too many funerals that you lost your mind.

Hong Sun-ah clicked her tongue.

So you didnt know this either? Our value has skyrocketed!

Huh? Our value has increased?

The entertainment industry, heavily populated by people in their 20s, was doomed to fail.

But what about the players who survived?

They became elite celebrities, monopolizing public popularity.

This was the current state of the entertainment industry after the cataclysm.

When Hong Sun-ah mentioned this, Seo Arin looked as if she was hearing it for the first time.

Our value has increased, and were more famous than before?

Do you really not know? Havent you searched your name on the internet?

I dont really do ego searching

Try searching now.

Seo Arin did as suggested, albeit reluctantly.

Then she let out an unwittingly dumbfounded voice.

Uh?

There were more articles than she expected.

[The list of the celebrities in their 20s who survived the 8th round: Seo Arin, Hong Sun-ah, Gu Yeon-seung, Jang Bok-chul, and a total of 19 people!]

[In a gloomy situation, leading stars like Seo Arin, Hong Sun-ah, and others, celebrity players! Inquiries from advertisers are pouring in.]

She regretted bringing it up, having not gained anything in return.

Ive been busy. You know how dangerous the world has become, so Ive been avoiding all contact for a while

Ugh, really! So dumb, so dumb!

Hong Sun-ah, who had been harsh the entire time suddenly offered a favor.

Why not come to our company? Our CEO treats us really well. You, Arin, would definitely receive good treatment. You have some reputation among the new actors.

No, its okay. Whats the use of moving now? Theres still time left on my contract.

Break that damn contract. Should I talk to our CEO? I bet hed even pay the penalty for you.

Its okay, I dont like moving around like a migratory bird.

Hong Sun-ahs eyes suddenly turned cold.

Are you saying that for me to hear?

Huh? What do you mean?

Never mind. Anyway, its a shame. It would be nice to work at the same company.

What work? The life of a celebrity is practically over. Even in the next round, we cant guarantee survival, let alone long-term projects like dramas.

You only know one thing but not the other. Why would there be no work? Just landing a decent ad can earn you the equivalent of 10 years of an average office workers salary. Not just ads, right? Even if you cant film dramas or movies, you can still appear in variety shows and various programs.

It made sense when she thought about it.

But didnt your company bloc even those job opportunities? You didnt even work properly since the cataclysm!

Seo Arin nodded cautiously, fearing she might get scolded.

Uh-huh

Sure enough, she was right, Hong Sun-ah slapped her forehead in response.

Really, that company is no good. What kind of stupid place did you join

Sun-ah, even so, thats a bit harsh

Lets go!

Huh?

Out of nowhere, Hong Sun-ah stood up, grabbed Seo Arins wrist, and pulled her.

Ill introduce you to someone, so lets go.

Who?

There is someone who will save you from this mess!
