Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 45

"Honestly, I didn't expect a good performance from you. I mean, when you first entered the stage, instead of being in your role from the get-go, your eyes were darting around the crowd while looking down a lot. Signs of an amateur and it was easy to figure it out. Of Course, this changed as the drama continued but there were signs of it until the middle of the drama where you were more natural." He analyzed her skills and performance she put up earlier. Jung-hwa nodded, hearing him as what he said was true.
Joon-won's evaluation of the guy went up a little when he heard that. He was pointing out the common mistakes calmly instead of barking as he did earlier. He was direct with it so that Jung-hwa could work out the problems easily. Most of her problems came with the lack of experience and with more experience her acting becomes more refined.
"Now, I have a good impression of your acting. Like I said before, you need more practice and honing your skills. Earlier I thought of leaving it at that. But now that fate has allowed us to meet once again, I'll give you a better suggestion which might make you a better actor without waiting for a whole year. That is Drama houses." giving her a suggestion. Joon-won expected this answer. This was the same suggestion he gave her earlier this week. She could gain valuable experience and learn more skills from drama houses.
"Arios city does not lack drama houses, and they are found practically everywhere. With your present skills, you might not get accepted into any of the well-established places in the city. So I will recommend your name to one of the moderate or lesser-known houses so that you can start from there. Now it depends on how you will use this chance and get better." he stretched out an olive branch to Jung-hwa who was in need of one.

Jung-hwa was stunned hearing all he had to say, especially his last offer to help. She was still contemplating on whether she should try to act in places like those after hearing what Joon-won had to say and now she was getting an opportunity to learn in those places. Everything felt surreal for her, and she needed a moment to digest everything.
She clenched her hands and asked with a tone full of excitement and nervousness, "Is what you are saying true? Can you really recommend me to a drama house to learn this summer? What do you get out of this?" she was making sure everything is real. Joon-won was slightly surprised by how she asked the last question after all. It was Jung-hwa who is an airhead and didn't think about things or overly thought about things.
This time instead of Do Hwan it was Hea-Jung who did, "What? You think he is going to scam you both?" In an assertive tone.
Her burst made Jung-hwa step back and stutter her reply, "No, no, nothing like that. Don't misunderstand senior."
As soon as she said that, Hea-Jung started laughing while clutching her stomach. She said as she tried to stop her laugh. "Don't be so nervous. Look at you. You look so pale only for a joke. Here, drink some water. Don't be nervous." Seeing her do this made both Do Hwan and the Vice-dean sigh in resignation. They couldn't do anything about this girl who did whatever she wanted. Joon-won on the other hand shook his head and patted Jung-hwa's back, which had a bit of sweat.
Jung-hwa took the water glass Hea-Jung offered and took a quick sip before placing it back on the table. The girl was too timid and scared of the high-class society, and rightfully so. There are many stories about how the people with authority exploit new actors, especially women and so she had to be careful.

"Well, everything is an investment for us producers. Especially young actors like you. If we are right and can nurture you guys into good actors in the future, then we get a lot of credit and other actors would be willing to work with us." Do Hwan was very honest as he shrugged and explained it to us. Everything was business, and what he was doing was investing in the future.
"You see, most of us producers have agency companies where we groom talented actors. Even I have one myself, it's called 'Blast Agency.' So if I think you are worth it after this summer and maybe a year at most, I will be willing to give you a contract and become an actor under our agency. This way you will get more roles easily. My agency right now has a handful of A-listed actors and some good potential." He explained.
"I gave it the name 'Blast Agency'." Hea-Jung proudly said, which was ignored by everyone in the room.
Joon-won knew about agencies. Each of the heavenly kings also had their own agencies. He learned about them the past few days. Many actors try to get into an agency because they could build their career faster and it is also easier to get more roles from an agency. This offer from Do Hwan was not bad for Jung-hwa. She could prove herself and get a contract, which would give her a smooth start for her career.
Jung-hwa was once more shocked to hear the reason and the chance that she might get a chance to sign in with an agency at this early stage in her life. She never thought she will get an opportunity to sign with an agency before this week. Now she got an opportunity to sign with one if she improved and showed her worth.
She bowed a little and said, "Thank you for giving me this offer. I will prove my worth this next year and get you to sign me into your agency." With confidence in her voice. Do Hwan nodded before turning towards Joon-won.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
