A Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune - Chapter 487

The genius actor who brings misfortune (487)

‘what?’

Even though I don’t know much about foreign cultures, I know this much.

Just now, two award presenters blatantly ignored me.

‘Why on earth?’

The man and woman who presented the award were familiar faces, but they had never met in private.

I wondered what kind of ill feelings he had for me, but at the same time, I found it strange.

‘You’ve got a lot of guts.’

Aren’t celebrities supposed to fight and pull each other’s hair out from behind, but pretend to be best friends in front of the camera?

I don’t know if it would be okay in private, but to act like this on a broadcast that is broadcast live around the world.

Moreover, both award presenters happened to be white.

In a situation where anti-Asian hate crimes due to the virus have become a major social problem, such an attitude of avoidance towards me could have been problematic.

If something like this happens and it becomes controversial, what are you going to do―.

‘aha.’

My head turned quickly.

‘You guys….’

Wow, yeah. That could be possible.

As I realized this, I found myself laughing out loud.

‘… … So what if it becomes controversial?’

It could have been resolved with a few words, such as that there was no panic and that there were no bad intentions.

It has always been that way, and it always will be that way.

‘Then I… .’

What should I do?

The information in my head was jumbled together and mixed together in a crazy way.

When I stood in front of the microphone holding the trophy that the presenter had tossed, the corners of my mouth were already turning up in a smirk.

“(Hello. This is Lee Yeon-jae.)”

I expressed my gratitude in English, which came naturally to me.

There is only one reason why I speak English even though I am Korean.

Why? Because this is the English-speaking United States.

‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’

It’s such a simple rule, isn’t it?

But the landlord’s attitude was so rude that it made my efforts as a visitor seem ridiculous.

‘It’s a bit… disappointing.’

I opened my mouth with a smiling face.

“(I was able to receive this award because of my friend Jake. He had to fight loneliness his whole life just because of the color of his skin.)”

I looked around slowly.

“(And right now, at this moment, I feel what Jake must have felt his whole life.)”

“(…….)”

“(Even though I’ve come this far as an actor, I feel like I don’t belong anywhere. It’s lonelier than I thought it would be.)”

Unless it was a major event like the Film of the Year Awards, it was polite not to give long acceptance speeches.

And the Best Supporting Actor award I received didn’t seem like a main event to anyone.

‘You have to speak quickly before the host cuts you off.’

I quickly organized my disorganized words.

“(Racism is always subtle. I’ve never seen anyone roll their eyes from side to side in front of me. Maybe it’s because I’m a celebrity.)”

“(…….)”

“(I wonder what it would have been like if I hadn’t been a celebrity? If I had just been Lee Yeon-jae instead of actress Lee Yeon-jae, I wonder if I would be standing here.)”

For the past three weeks, I’ve been receiving subtle criticism and flirting from my fellow actors.

But that was more of a jealousy and envy of the rolling stone, and had little to do with me being Asian.

Above all, because racism was a serious problem, no one ever mentioned the vulgar word ‘yellow monkey’ to me or mocked me in front of me.

But racism wasn’t always so prominent.

‘Micro aggression.’

A word used to discriminate against minorities in very subtle and sophisticated ways.

This includes moving to avoid Asians or black people on the subway, or acting differently from white people.

For example, they don’t give us bread at our table that they gave to white people, or they force us to sit at a table next to a trash can even though there are empty seats.

‘It’s a bit ambiguous to argue about.’

I felt strangely bad, but I couldn’t protest.

Even if I protested, I thought the response would be that I was being victimized, and I myself couldn’t tell whether this was an ‘unusual thing’ or not.

That’s why I was grateful to the award presenter who gave me this award.

“(…….)”

“(…….)”

A suffocating silence filled the room.

I took a calm breath and opened my mouth.

“(I dedicate this honor to my colleagues who are working hard and holding on to positions outside of the mainstream. Jake was a very brave and wonderful kid. So be brave too.)”

If anyone ignores you, think of Jake.

He added that when you’re feeling too excited to bear it, it might not be a bad idea to try talking like Jake.

“(For example….)”

I quickly withdrew my smile and furrowed my brows.

The eyes open slightly slanted, the eyebrows are raised, and one corner of the mouth is raised as if in a sneer.

I spat out the words after a very long time, looking at Jake’s face.

“(Just eat X.)”

A rough voice spread widely through the microphone.

As soon as I felt the crowd start to stir, I quickly removed Jake’s face.

“(……Like this.)”

Then he immediately smiled neatly.

Everyone froze, unable to react to my unexpected words.

It was definitely not gentlemanly to use the F word at a formal setting.

However, considering the context of the situation and the profanity used by the host, I thought it was okay to do something like that.

‘I was treated like a germ, you know.’

Wouldn’t it be so unfair if you couldn’t even say something like this?

After a brief moment of such subtle silence, someone began to applaud loudly.

“(You are the best, Ethan!!!)”

It was David.

As he jumped up and clapped, the other actors also stood up and started clapping.

I glanced to the side and saw the staff members looking flustered and not knowing what to do.

Since I directly mentioned the word ‘racism’, I think they were worried about their image if they played a song to evade the situation.

‘Then I should use it.’

I continued speaking shamelessly.

“(I would also like to thank Glenn, the actors, the directors Freddie brothers, and the staff who worked together on ‘Dead Express.’)”

I turned my head towards the table where I was sitting.

And then I locked eyes with the Freddy brothers who created the character ‘Jake’.

They were looking up at me with tearful faces.

“(I am….)”

At that moment, words poured out of me without me knowing.

“(I hope you all are happy. I know it’s a difficult world to be happy in. I know that, but I still hope that everyone who watches my acting is happy.)”

He hesitated, then quickly continued speaking.

“(Well, most of the characters I’ve played ended up with endings that were far from happy…)”

As I smiled awkwardly, the camera quickly turned to David.

He was crying and his phone had the words ‘Save my Ethan.’ written on it.

“(Poohaha!)”

Laughter erupted from the audience.

“(But no matter what ending the character meets, please remember that the emotion I want to convey is happiness.)”

I smiled brightly and confidently shouted out my last words.

“(Lastly, I would like to tell the fans who gave me happiness and Biyeon that I love you. Thank you!)”

The cheers that followed were incomparably louder than when he went up on stage.

[Title: Lee Yeon-jae’s acceptance speech is so funny lol]

I really chewed it wellㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I saw the sergeant and it felt like he ate two hundred sweet potatoes.

As soon as he did that, Lee Yeon-jae opened his throat and poured soda into himㅋㅋㅋㅋ

―They didn’t just give me cans, they gave me a whole truckload! What a kind hearted person!

└This is the Korean people’s true nature

└This is the spicy taste of Koreans

―Did you see the presenters’ expressions change every moment when Lee Yeon-jae was giving her acceptance speech? ㅋㅋㅋ It’s like putting a gag show to shame

└It was so funny how he was so embarrassedㅋㅋㅋ

└You should be embarrassed. If you aren’t embarrassed, are you a human?

―Lee Yeon-jae’s acceptance speech is always the best. Why is she so good at speaking?

[Title: Does anyone have a video of Bambi’s acceptance speech without the beeping?]

I know it’s all my faultㅠㅠ

I’m a sinner because I didn’t watch the live broadcast ㅠㅜ

Is there no one who can save this poor sinner?

Everything that’s uploaded to YouTube is beepedㅠㅠ

Please, Bambi, I’m begging you. I really need you… .

―Why on earth would you want that;; I don’t understand, if you send me an email, I’ll send you a video 🙂

└I love you thank you 🙂

└Oh my gosh, please help me tooㅠㅠ

[Title: But didn’t you cross the line with the swearing?]

No? Not at all? Not one?

Haha …

Honestly, I felt relieved when Lee Yeon-jae spoke so openly.

―I agree too lol If you hadn’t said it like that, I would have fallen for it.

―You can tell just by looking at the fact that the award presenters haven’t commented yet.

└Honestly, if it’s this much of a fuss, isn’t it worth posting?

└I uploaded it because I was a party fan. If that wasn’t really your intention, I uploaded it because I felt wronged.

└No, it would be wiser not to upload it. No matter what you do here, you’ll be labeled a racist, so why bother?

└But it seems like the brand has already been properly stamped

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Wow, the award presenters just posted an apology

└Huh?

[Title: Wow, I thought you’d just ignore it until the end, but you’re posting this]

This morning, two award presenters posted apologies on their Instagram stories, and the awards ceremony just released an official apology;

Whyㅋㅋㅋ Even you guys think this isn’t it?

―ㅎㄹ; Lee Yeon-jae’s influence is crazy

―But it’s a natural thing. If you did that to a black person instead of Lee Yeon-jae? You would have burned the city down right now.

└ㅇㅇ This isn’t a metaphor, it really must have been burnedㅋㅋㅋ

―But I wonder if it’s really something that needs to be done like this. I’m of the opinion that Lee Yeon-jae made a sudden rash decision;

└No, I understand white people are like that, but why do Koreans do this? Are you Korean?

└I really want to break my head because of these kids

―Guys. I told you. It doesn’t make sense that we’re in this situation where we’re debating whether or not it’s racism… .

└ㅁㅈ From the atmosphere on set, everyone was flustered and tried to cover it up with applause, but Lee Yeon-jae just said it out loud

└Hey, stop fighting. If an official apology was issued, then they must have acknowledged it. Why is there a fuss here?

[Title: Why do I like David so much?]

I think we can safely send our Bambi to America now.

It’s not easy to support someone like that, but he’s such a cool guy

David Panda from today

―It’s so nice to see David doing Bambi’s magic tricks ㅠㅠㅠ In the past, I thought he was just a spectatorㅜ

└ Isn’t the InXta lenient too much? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He was originally a good person who donated often

└I know that, but you donate every dayㅜ You post it on Instagram every day, so the stories keep pouring outㅠ

└I also followed you last time, but I got sick of it and canceled it right away after one day.

―The funniest thing is that even though the Atlas Dilemma ended, I still can’t get out of Ethan alone.

└They even threatened the director to write a script that would save Ethan.

└Miss Doratbbangkekekekekeke

[Title: Congratulations to our Bambi for Best Supporting Actor♥]

May our Bambi continue to prosper in the future!

-Oh right, I won a prize.

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋCrazy

└I completely forgot, congratulations, Ibambiyeonchaeㅋㅋㅋ

―The past awards were so splendid that everyone just ignored them.

└Jake’s story is too buoyant, so it’s right for Lee Yeon-jae to receive it. If they don’t give him the award, it’s even worse for Eva

―I was really crazy about Jake, but I cried when I saw Lee Yeon-jae acting as Jakeㅠㅠ

└It’s really creepy to act while I’m out of my mind

└It’s awesome that you can change the mask freely. It’s so exciting.

―I’m so happy that I’m dating you. Right now, all the people in the community are talking about Bambiㅋㅋㅋ
