A Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune - Chapter 485

The genius actor who brings misfortune (485)

The United States, which I visited after a long time, was the same.

“Actor. Where do you keep going? I told you to stay by my side.”

“I think we’re still close enough… ”

“No. Please stick closer.”

This means that Jinbae hyung’s protection was consistent.

Perhaps because of his brilliant record of kidnapping, Jinbae Hyung was even more sharp.

‘A gentle person is suffering needlessly because of me.’

I felt sorry and carefully patted his large back.

“(You can move this way.)”

“(Oh, yes. Thank you.)”

Of course, Jinbae hyung wasn’t the only one by my side.

Thanks to the company doubling its security services, there were plenty of bodyguards around.

By the way, teachers. I really appreciate you watching over me.

‘I can’t see anything in front of me… .’

It was an exotic landscape, and the only thing that caught my eye was a black suit.

Because of that, I couldn’t tell whether this was the southern United States or Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province.

‘Can’t I just ask you to step away from me a little bit?’

I’d like to take a look too.

I debated whether to say something or not, but decided not to bother the people who were working hard, so I just stayed quiet.

“Actor, we have arrived.”

As I was walking, looking only at the black suit, I found myself inside a hotel room.

“You can think of this as your accommodation while filming a movie.”

Jinbae unpacked his luggage in a familiar manner.

“By the way, the security guards will work separately from the hotel security company, so you must tell them where you are going. Got it? You can’t even go for a walk.”

“Brother, who pays for the accommodation here?”

“Why are you curious about that? You don’t have to worry about it, actor.”

“… … It’s because it’s so flashy.”

I looked around the room without hiding my trembling expression.

‘That’s too much.’

The rooms were too many and too big for Jinbae and I to stay in.

‘Surely you didn’t use Jinbae’s personal money, did you?’

At that moment, I was thinking that if that was the case, I should change rooms immediately, even if it meant staging a one-person protest.

-dripping.

The door burst open with a loud knock.

“(Long time no see, Ethan! How have you been?)”

David approached with a big smile on his face.

My guess turned into certainty as I saw him enter my house without any hesitation as if it were his own.

“(David paid for my lodging here.)”

“(What? It’s been months since I’ve seen you, what are you talking about? You don’t even say hello?)”

“(Hello. Long time no see. Nice to meet you. So, did David pay for your accommodation here?)”

“(What kind of kid doesn’t say a word? Tsk.)”

David flopped down on the sofa with a bored expression on his face.

“(Yes, I paid for it. No, to be exact, the production company paid for it. He’s the only lead actor, so shouldn’t they take care of it?)”

“(I appreciate that, but I think it’s too much. I’m not going to stay here for a day or two, and it’s going to cost too much―.)”

“(Oh, stop nagging~.)”

David grumbled, asking why nothing had changed.

“(The other actors were asking what kind of room this was and asking for a room upgrade right away. You’re really weird, weird.)”

He shook his head and then spoke urgently.

“(Okay, let’s take a break and then go check out the studio. Say hello to the actors you’ll be filming with! Everyone’s waiting for you.)”

It’s already been a year since I first met David.

You could tell just by looking at his trembling eyes that he had just said that to change the subject.

but….

“(Go right now.)”

There was also a set answer that I could give.

Anyway, David knows me too well.

* * *

The musical film that David invested in and Sean Connery directed had a completely different vibe from the works I had made so far.

‘A bright and cheerful movie from beginning to end.’

In any movie, in order to achieve a storyline of introduction, development, climax, turn and conclusion, the main character experiences a crisis.

But in this movie, even the crisis was set up so that it could be viewed lightly without much emotional consumption.

‘I’ve already said that I play a fairy.’

In addition, the main setting was the lush forest of a fantasy world.

‘That’s amazing.’

I’ve done quite a few works so far, but this is the first time I’ve played a character with such a flawless appearance.

Wasn’t Yu-Hyeon’s first role, ‘The Butterfly Riding the Zelkova Tree’, full of wrinkles?

‘The abandoned crown prince who was not chosen even by his first love.’

In addition, there are the test subject Hon, who was used by those around him and died, and the patient Ethan, who took his own life instead of dying from an incurable disease, etc.

The differences were even more evident when compared to the characters I had played in the past.

‘Without killing anyone, and without dying.’

You don’t even need to wear makeup that’s soaked in blood, right?

There wasn’t even a drop of blood, let alone a whole lot of blood.

‘It’s amazing, it’s amazing.’

As I was filming, all sorts of things happened.

But the strangeness didn’t end there.

“(Hello. This is Lee Yeon-jae. I ask for your help in the future.)”

“(Nice to meet you! I missed you so much.)”

“(Wow, the photo doesn’t capture the real thing. How am I going to fit you in the same frame? I’m already at a loss.)”

“(haha!)”

The actors I appeared with welcomed me more than I expected.

‘Honestly, I thought there would be some degree of prejudice.’

In this musical film, there are many supporting actors besides me, the main character.

However, most of them appeared as supporting roles, and David was the only supporting actor with a solo number.

That means I have to sing a significant number of the numbers that are inserted into this film.

There are numbers that I sing alone, but there are also many numbers that I sing in harmony or in a group dance with other cast members.

Since the casting was confirmed, I had been practicing alone in Korea the whole time, so I wondered if I could fit in well with the group that had been practicing together for the past few months.

however….

“(I think I understand why Director Sean insisted so strongly on Yeonjae.)”

“(I mean! You sing much better than what I saw in the video. How much practice did you have?)”

“(This is really great!)”

Every time I sang a song in sync, I received a series of compliments.

I smiled shyly and said thank you, but my mind was quickly spinning.

‘Something is strange.’

It’s definitely not a tax.

But what should I call this?

I felt strangely uncomfortable whenever the actors gave me compliments.

It would be better if the compliments were natural, but I felt a sense of obligation when the compliments were poured out without context and without thought.

‘Could this be this person’s influence?’

I just rolled my eyes and looked at the person next to me.

David has been right next to me ever since he came into the studio.

There is at least one person here who doesn’t know that he is both an actor in this film and a huge investor.

Since he was so openly using nicknames like ‘My Ethan’ and ‘Honey’, it seemed like everyone was naturally watching me closely.

‘hmm.’

I nodded, now understanding the situation.

The lead role had not been decided for over a year, and then suddenly an actor who wasn’t even a candidate got involved.

Well, the casting was eventually done thanks to director Sean Connery and David’s push.

In simple terms, it means that I am nothing more or less than a ‘rolling stone’ to the actors who were confirmed to appear a long time ago.

David, who knows that, seems to be marking his territory by saying, ‘Don’t touch this guy.’

‘But that only lasts for a day or two.’

David’s cover was appreciated, but I couldn’t rely on it completely.

The longer the coercive atmosphere persisted, the more likely it was that it would lead to negative results and create strange rumors.

So on the first day after my studio tour, I told David that he didn’t have to be by my side anymore.

“(Are you sure it’s okay?)”

David was quick-witted, after all.

Instead of interpreting my words as just telling me to go about my business, he immediately understood what I meant.

“(Even if it’s not okay, what can I do? I have to endure it.)”

“(You can say that because you haven’t experienced it.)”

“(I guess so. But it’s not something we can avoid forever.)”

David sighed as I shrugged.

“(I get it. They have their moments, so they won’t harass you openly. But they’ll likely secretly tease you. Are you really okay with that?)”

“(Yes. I will try.)”

“(I know you’re mature for your age, but I’m worried. More than anything, you…)”

David paused.

I saw that he was hesitating whether to bring up that word or not, so I smiled and answered instead.

“(You’re Asian?)”

“(……Yeah. You’re the only Asian actor here. Since racial discrimination is such a sensitive issue, I don’t think they’d do anything stupid.)”

But there was a lot of worry in their words that the words they unconsciously said could scratch me.

It was surprising that a white man at the pinnacle of privilege could be so thoughtful.

‘That must mean you care about me that much.’

I was so grateful for that that I laughed out loud.

“(Thank you for your concern.)”

“(I told you to stop laughing and listen seriously. If you hear anything tomorrow, call me right away. Okay?)”

David had the look of a parent sending his child to school for the first time.

So the next day, I headed to the studio without David.

“(hello.)”

“(Hey, you look handsome today too~.)”

“(You’re here? Everyone, come out and look! Our main character is here!)”

The start of full-scale filming was scheduled for about a month later.

This is because we had to practice group dances and there were so many scenes where we had to coordinate with the actors.

That means I have to stay with these people for a month.

“(Maybe because he’s the main character, he’s different, different. Hehe.)”

“(But is it just me? I don’t think I’m suited for military service…)”

“(Oh, I think the same thing. The solo dance is fantastic, but when it’s a group dance, I feel like I’m alone and isolated, so the picture is a bit… ambiguous.)”

As soon as the rehearsal was over, the actors spoke one by one with smiling faces.

‘Hey.’

How did you hide this yesterday?

I couldn’t help but laugh at the words that followed as if they had been waiting for me.

“(What do you think, Yeonjae?)”

Everyone’s eyes were on me.

The subtly murderous atmosphere prickled my skin.

I looked into the eyes that seemed to say, ‘Cheer up, quickly.’ Then I smiled brightly and answered.

“(They said I was a bit noticeable.)”

“(…….)”

“(…….)”

Then, before the other person could even react, he suddenly got up from his seat.

“(Then shall we practice again?)”

“(Oh, uh. Yes. I see…)”

Everyone dispersed in awkward positions.

It was cute to see him unable to bring himself to argue any further and instead move on to practice again.

‘That’s about it, okay.’

Even if I just bend down here and go in, it will only make things look easy.

Of course, it would have been a loss for me to have been at odds with my fellow actors.

‘Those people probably don’t really want to fight me either.’

After that, no matter what was said, I just smiled and turned a deaf ear.

As I repeated the pattern of ending every subtle argument with “Then shall we practice again?”, the frequency of the arguments decreased quickly.

‘I’m busy practicing.’

There was no time to get caught up in a meaningless war of nerves.

After practicing every day for three weeks without rest, the actors started to look at me with tired expressions instead of hostility.

“(Stop practicing, please stop…)”

“(Can we just take a 10 minute break and then, huh?)”

“(He’s crazy. Someone get him out of here…)”

Right.

In this way, a desirable filming atmosphere was created.
