1st year Max Level Manager chapter 207
  Master of Mukbang Audition 1

Hello. My name is Jintaek Lee, a 3rd year student at Korea Culinary Arts High School."

'Korea Culinary Arts High School' is a school where pre-cooks aspiring to become professionals compete fiercely for admission.

At the time of admission, I had already heard that I had to be able to cook hotel-grade cuisine before I could enter.

By the way, your third year of high school there?

If that's the case, then it's the level of skill of a restaurant chef.

It is said that he even brought his own knife.

"A professional has come to the amateur game."

"Prolano. Don't be shy."

Jintaek Lee waved his hands.

General Manager Ma Dong-pal also had a confident expression on his face, so now I can understand why.

I glanced at the day, just in case.

But fortunately, one day is not lost.

'Awesome guy.'

After the last work with Woo Sung-chan, Haru had matured mentally.

However, the day showed an unexpected reaction.

"It's Haru in the 3rd year of Hanyoung Ye Middle School. I learned how to cook from the catering lady."

"Fop. cafeteria Hmmmm. Sorry. Maybe I didn't expect it."

In response to Haru's dignified answer, Lee Jin-taek suddenly burst into laughter.

'Why? What did you learn from the catering lady?'

It was a good day, but there was no need for me to pay attention.

However, Jintaek Lee began to make a relaxed expression, as if he was nervous for nothing.

It was then.

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji announced the start of the audition.

now. It seems that everyone who is coming has come. Managers all fall behind, and only the actors come forward."

At the same time, the actors separated from their managers and began to rush forward.

"Then see you later."

After waving his hand, General Manager Ma Dong-pal took Lee Jin-taek and moved to one side.

Haru also finished preparing to stand in front of the judges.

I took the day to move forward and started with one last piece of advice.

"Haru, listen to me. This isn't a cooking contest, it's an audition for Park Il-sik, the 'master of mukbang'.

got it?

Haru nods.

Yes. I will focus not only on cooking, but also on acting."

"No, you should care more than you think. The moment you step out in front of me, the camera will turn. Can you see the camera directors on both sides?"

He pointed to the two cameras standing on either side of the judges' table.

Yes. I see."

"It may be nerve-wracking, but the moment you stand in front of the judges, you are now the main character, Park Il-sik, who appeared in the cooking contest.

think of it Whenever I get stuck, I think of the script."

The moment he told me what to do and how to think, Haru's face brightened a little.

Yes. brother. I will do well."

Believe.

Hearing Haru's strong answer, he gently pushed his back.

go for it!

One day walked out in front of the judges.

In the judges' seats, CEO Baek Jong-seok, a food franchise expert, Eric Park, a world-class chef, and local producer Yoo and CP Kim Tae-chon were seated.

"Now, the first audition is to reproduce the egg rolls and miso soup prepared by CEO Baek and Chef Eric."

At that moment, Jintaek Lee raised his hand.

"P.D. How about rice?"

"Oh, I forgot that. Even the rice has to be cooked by the actors themselves."

The dishes to be tasted now were the miso soup and egg rolls that the main character ate at a hundred and half house near his house in episode 1 of   The Master of Mukbang .

If so, Bob had to take episode 1 as the standard.

And the way to make the rice was clearly stated in the script.

'Yoo PD. There's something pretty mean.'

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji seemed to take this opportunity to check how well he knew the script.

At that moment, Jintaek Lee raised his hand.

"Hey, can I freely choose the pot? It seems that there is a silver pot, an electric rice cooker, and a stone pot."

of course.

However, whether he liked Lee Jin-taek's question, Yoo Hyun-ji PD began to look at Lee Jin-taek with interest.

At the same time, as I said, I saw the red buttons on the RECs on both cameras light up.

'Now is the start.'

Judge Baek Jong-seok started making soybean paste stew, and another judge, Eric Park, started making egg rolls.

"Come on, look at what the two of us are doing. Okay?"

Baek Jong-seok boiled soybean paste stew in a clay pot, and Eric Park baked rolled eggs in a frying pan.

The two finished in about 15 minutes.

After finishing cooking, Baek Jong-seok stepped back and said.

"Is it really that easy?"

Some of the actors burst into laughter as the tension is released.

"Stop laughing, actors go forward and taste the food."

Yes! PD-nim."

As PD Yoo Hyeon-ji gave instructions, the actors rushed forward.

On the table of the judges' table, doenjang stew cooked in a clay pot and rolled eggs served on a wide porcelain plate are eaten.

was laid loosely

The savory smell from the soybean paste stew filled with diced zucchini, potatoes and tofu permeated the end of the set.

And the egg rolls had chopped carrots and green onions embedded in them, and they looked more appetizing because they were bright yellow.

'Just smelling it makes me feel good.'

At that moment, the sound of gulping and swallowing saliva was heard from all over the place.

what are you doing? Aren't you going to eat it?

Hesitating at the words of producer Yoo Hyun-ji

The actors started eating food using the front plate.

"Wow, delicious."

"Is that awesome?"

The actors who ate soybean paste stew and egg rolls cheered, forgetting that they were auditioning.

One day, after watching the hyungs silently, I started to taste them at the end.

One day, after taking a small roll of rolled egg and tasting it, he put his hand to the bottled water next to him.

And after washing your mouth with water, this time, scoop out soybean paste stew and make it fluffy.

inhaled

In an instant, the day began to smile.

And at the same time, I was able to see that PD Yoo Hyun-ji's face changed with joy.

'You're doing great, Haru.'

The other actors were so obsessed with having to recreate the dishes, they forgot for a moment that this was an audition for   Master of Mukbang .

Il-shik Park, the male protagonist of   The Master of Mukbang , analyzes any kind of food.

So, when you eat food, taste it little by little, just like every day, and then start eating.

But only one day was tasting the food like 'Park Il-sik' as I advised.

At the end of the day, when the food tasting was over, Yoo Hyun-ji PEP} shouted.

ruler! So from now on, it's 30 minutes to cook. start!

With the loud voice of producer Yoo Hyun-ji, the second hand of the huge clock on the set began to move.

At that moment, the actors started running to the kitchen table where they would cook.

Moment Haru also headed to his table.

With an expression of determination that he will surely bring the lead role.

All actors pressure from the back shelf

I brought a rice cooker and prepared the rice.

Only Lee Jin-taek briefly touched the stone pot, but in the end he also chose the pressure cooker.

The moment the actors were about to start washing rice one after another, PD Yoo Hyun-ji shouted out loud.

"Twenty-five minutes left. Watch the time and do it as you go."

The actors looked up and checked their watches.

There is still quite a bit of time left, but the moment they recognized the time, everyone felt impatient.

beaten off

Thanks to this, quite a few actors do not even wash the rice properly, and rush to eat.

However, in the meantime, Jintaek Lee and Haru were still washing the rice properly.

The two of them even made white rice water separately.

To use it for miso stew after a while.

At the moment of putting rice there, only Lee Jin-taek and Haruman put a piece of kelp on top of the rice 'as in the script'.

At that moment, the judges' eyes focused on Lee Jin-taek and Haru.

It's because it doesn't mean much to see other actors.

As if to show off their cooking skills, the two people who did not cook the rice in the pressure cooker started preparing the ingredients.

The sound of a knife hitting the chopping board was constantly heard.

Tock tock.

The zucchini was being cut proudly with the sound of a light knife, and the green onion, potatoes and onions were also cut and placed on a plate on the kitchen table.

started to

From the time it takes to trim the material to the shape of the material.

The two continued to cook with nothing in particular missing.

"15 minutes left."

Jintaek Lee continued cooking with a relaxed smile.

In fact, for a professional professional to do it, to be honest, the food was of low difficulty.

Thanks to this, Jintaek Lee even had the time to look around.

But one day was different.

He was humming while concentrating and preparing the ingredients step by step and preparing the food.

Like 'Park Il-sik', the main character of The Master of Mukbang , while enjoying cooking itself.

The fact that Haru didn't forget my advice made me feel proud regardless of the results.

It was a great joy for me to listen to the manager's advice in itself.

So the first part of the audition went quickly

was going on

stop!

At the same time as PD Yoo Hyun-ji said, the actors stopped eating.

Thirty minutes passed like a bullet, and now it's time to show off the dishes.

General Manager Ma Dong-pal who came to my side

He spoke with this confident attitude.

"Why don't you just give up now without wasting any time? Just by looking at it, our Jintaek's cooking is top notch. is not it?

After tasting the dishes of Baek Jong-suk and Eric Park, the reproduced dishes were placed on the kitchen tables of the actors.

Like Ma Dong-pal's adage, the one that stood out the most was Lee Jin-taek's cuisine.

As Lee Jin-taek with a professional level, his outfit was different.

Hotel restaurant level decoration.

Although they are all the same egg rolls, they look different depending on how they are served.

Even the tofu of the soybean paste stew that boils in a ttukbaegi is alive.

On the other hand, Haru's dishes were a little plain on the outside.

"What kind of craft is cooking? You have to eat it to know."

General Manager Ma Dong-pal smiles.

"Anyway, I don't lose once. But his confidence must be shattered once. let it go No matter what I do this time."

General Manager Ma Dong-pal and the people I quarreled with, and the judges began to taste the food.

And after a while.

It was time for the judges to announce their results.

But it was then.

Kim Tae-chon CP and Yoo Hyeon-ji PEP} They whispered with a serious expression and started talking.

'Why?'

After a while, PD Yoo Hyun-ji, who also had a conversation with Baek Jong-suk and Eric Park, announced the end of the audition for the actors.

"The lead role of our 'Mukbang Master' was selected as a day of Golleongso Enter. Everyone worked hard, and Team Leader Jung stays a while."

At that moment, the actors and managers began to protest.

After cooking the first part of the audition, I decided to decide the lead actor after watching the second part of the mukbang acting, but that's why the process was omitted.

"No, PD. Where are these things?"

"P.D. Didn't you say that you give extra points not only for cooking, but also for those who eat well? How well our Junshik eats!"

"What do we lack? My Dongin's mother runs the best chicken house in Suwon! You are confident in your skills, so please try it one more time!"

"This is not it. What is it that our Yongjin is worse than that guy?"

Managers were a bit confused

He even complained to the PD that he would not normally be able to do.

Of course, General Manager Ma Dong-pal did not stand still.

But the object of anger was me, not PEP}.

"Chief Jeong. How the hell have you been to CP? How much did you feed to get this result?"

I was fed up with the words of General Manager Ma Dong-pal and laughed.

"Do you know that everyone in the world is like you?"

what? you?

"I don't do entertainment. It must have been because Haru did so well."

But it was then.

Jintaek Lee, unable to accept the result, began to protest to the judges.

"PD! I can't accept that I lost by cooking. I hope you can explain it in a way that I can understand."

In an instant, the impression of PD Yoo Hyun-ji was shaky and frowned upon.

'crazy

The power of a broadcasting station PD is strong.

Moreover, especially in the case of works personally planned by PEP, such as   The Master of Mukbang .

Because the writer's position in the planned drama was just a limb that reflects the PD's planning intentions.

In a word, PD Yoo Hyun-ji was like a king when it came to   The Master of Mukbang .

But a new actor named Saepa, who has not yet debuted, asks the PD for an explanation?

With that alone, in the future, Yoo Hyun-ji PD

It is an act that cannot be seen in TVM's dramas as well as TVM's dramas.

In an instant, General Manager Ma Dong-pal's face turned white.

"Hey, that guy is crazy!"

General Manager Ma Dong-pal was shocked and ran to Lee Jin-taek's side.

However, it was faster to get angry.

"Anyway, kids these days have no idea. Explain to the PD? understand?"

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji, who was making an absurd expression, asked with a sharp voice.

It was.

"Don't you think I was chosen because I was a better day than you?"

However, Jintaek Lee did not back down and answered.

Yes! Mr. PD. It is impossible to lose to that young man as a cook."

The moment the two of them faced each other, a chilly energy began to circulate in the audition hall.
