The genius actor who brings misfortune (488)

‘How much influence did Lee Yeon-jae’s acceptance speech have?’

It was only a few years ago that Korean actors started appearing at Hollywood award ceremonies.

K-dramas have become globalized thanks to the influence of Netflix, and Hollywood has fundamentally been changing into a culture that respects multiracial people.

If I had to pick one actor who stood out among them, it would of course be Lee Yeon-jae.

Lee Yeon-jae, who shows off highly immersive acting skills despite her young age, recently debuted in a Hollywood production with her native pronunciation.

First of all, his winning the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival was a recognition of his artistry.

‘But Hollywood is different.’

I don’t know about Lee Yeon-jae… To be exact, I’m not interested, but Hollywood is not a place where you can survive on artistry.

Because this was an industry where fame, also known as ‘agro’, was more important.

In that respect, Lee Yeon-jae was definitely a standout actor.

She has been involved in a number of suspicious kidnapping incidents and has had close relationships with celebrities such as Lily Sweetie and David Mills.

Hollywood was a place where people would write about their private lives as memoirs, sell them, and somehow make money by turning them into documentaries.

The key here was how to make what, and to what extent, a selling point.

However, even though Lee Yeon-jae had all the perfect conditions, she foolishly did not use them.

Although he did make some pretty easygoing jokes on talk shows, he didn’t respond to any gossip or get caught up in the common rumors.

There were rumors that he had a bad relationship with Noah Patterson, but this was not widely known to the general public.

That is, even in a world where people’s private lives are exposed in every detail and even where they sell information themselves, Lee Yeon-jae was an actress who was stubbornly focused on acting.

Hollywood actors looked at him and thought, ‘That’s right.’

‘A respectable and exemplary Asian.’

It was one of the typical stereotypes, but Korean celebrities, including Lee Yeon-jae, actually did it.

This was greatly influenced by the Korean entertainment industry, which is different from the Hollywood industry.

Unlike Hollywood celebrities who cause accidents and make issues every other day, the Korean entertainment industry wants pretty dolls.

‘A product that listens well and has no flaws.’

That was the typical quality that Korean entertainment demanded from its celebrities.

Korean celebrities entered foreign countries with these characteristics, and their conservative and humble image reinforced the prejudice.

And among them, Lee Yeon-jae was a celebrity with exceptionally politeness and kindness.

He was a calm, serious, and sometimes sensible oriental actor.

He openly mentioned the word ‘racism’ at a major American awards ceremony.

‘(And right now, at this moment, I’m feeling what Jake must have felt his whole life.)’

Of course, anyone could see that the attitude of the presenters who presented the trophy to Lee Yeon-jae was related to that.

But while most people would laugh it off out of embarrassment, Lee Yeon-jae instead drove a wedge into it.

‘(Just eat X.)’

His relaxed attitude, flowing lines, and even impromptu acting were like a play.

The repercussions of that polite protest were beyond imagination.

―It was a shameful moment for me to be of the same race as them 🙁

– Are you crazy??? You’re saying that in the glorious place where you hand out trophies?

―The lesson this incident taught me: Don’t show off your stupidity.

As soon as the awards ceremony ended, all social media blew up.

Since the person in question directly mentioned the word discrimination, it was impossible to respond by saying, “That wasn’t my intention.”

The presenters’ facial expressions, gestures, and even their backsteps were captured and taxidermied in nanoscale units.

The awards ceremony, which had not made an official response despite the numerous controversies in the past, quickly released a statement.

‘The racist attitude of the award presenters is very contrary to the values ​​that the award ceremony seeks to uphold.’

In short, the controversy was a very personal matter that occurred during a live broadcast and had nothing to do with them.

People were outraged at the perfect tail-cut.

Since the presenters had already posted apologies, the target of the anger turned to the awards ceremony itself.

There was a controversy when a video was circulated of instances of Asians unilaterally playing a song whenever they gave their opinions.

In the end, the A awards ceremony went through several more iterations of deleting and editing several sentences in the statement before finally issuing an apology for something they were unable to control.

―I hope this incident doesn’t end as a controversy, and that all award ceremonies take note and learn from it.

―These are the rich people who make thousands of dollars a year and act like that in public? Seriously, they need to go back to school.

―Actress Lee Yeon-jae said something really good. I’m grateful that he mentioned his colleagues.

―How brave is it for a young actor who grew up in Korea to stand at the top of Hollywood and say something like that? I admire that!

―Am I the only one who found sweet the line “I hope everyone is happy” in his acceptance speech? XD He seems like such a sweet person

The Internet was literally turned upside down.

What was Lee Yeon-jae doing in this chaotic situation?

“(I’ll beg you like this, okay?)”

“(Please stop now. Let’s stop now…)”

“(……everyone.)”

Lee Yeon-jae stood with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Around him lay his fellow actors, breathing heavily like fish out of water.

“(What if everyone gets tired at this point? It hasn’t even been two hours since we started…)”

“(Hey! Are you kidding me, 2 hours?!)”

“(You’re saying this is elder abuse, right? He really is the only one who thinks he’s young. Someone, kick him out!)”

The fellow actors shouted with furious faces.

Yes, that’s right.

Lee Yeon-jae was doing Lee Yeon-jae.

‘I think I need to increase my practice time.’

I looked at my watch to calm my anxious mind.

I knew that what happened at the last awards ceremony was a big topic of conversation, but it was none of my business.

At this moment, the only thing occupying my mind was filming.

‘What is everyone thinking?’

The day after the awards ceremony, as soon as I arrived at the practice room, the actors ran towards me with their cell phones in hand.

He said something that was either an insult or a compliment, like, “What a crazy, great kid!” and then started asking me all sorts of questions.

Well, I ran away right away when they asked me if I wasn’t going to practice.

‘It’s all in the past.’

The award recipients were contacted separately.

When he said he was truly sorry, I said I understood, and when he said he wanted to buy me a meal, I made up an excuse that I didn’t have time because of practice.

‘I’m dying from exhaustion.’

I think I should have stopped at this point, but my fellow actors were amazing.

It was surprising how whenever he had a moment to catch his breath, he would immediately start talking about the awards ceremony.

‘What are you so curious about?’

I thought hard on my own, but I couldn’t come up with an answer, and in the end, the only person left for me was Jinbae hyung.

“I think everyone is not focusing enough on practice.”

“haha.”

As soon as I got in the car, I started grumbling and heard a low laugh.

“What do you not like so much?”

“It’s already a story from the past, so I wonder why you’re so curious. There’s no follow-up story, right?”

Even though I was just concentrating on practicing, it was annoying that he kept talking about other things during busy times.

Knowing my feelings, Jinbae continued speaking with a smile.

“This is an industry that is always full of question marks. They say that if you just say a few words to someone you know, they’ll immediately give you a few hundred dollars. Since the actor doesn’t give interviews at all, the media must be desperate right now.”

“Then are you asking because of the money?”

“It’s just fun. Something exciting has happened for the first time in a while, and the main character is right next to me.”

I pout at Jinbae’s answer.

‘The racial discrimination controversy is just a matter of interest.’

It’s fun.

When I made a displeased expression, Jinbae hyung’s laughter grew louder.

“I like it when the actor grumbles.”

“Huh? Are you grumbling?”

“Yes. It’s nice that someone who used to say everything was fine now confides everything to me.”

Affectionate eyes were turned towards me.

I couldn’t argue with the idea that he had a strong opinion to begin with, but was becoming more and more blunt.

I muttered awkwardly.

“I guess I secretly have a bad temper.”

“Do you know that now?”

“… … Don’t tease me.”

Let’s look at the driver’s seat, Jinbae hyung chuckled quietly.

“Don’t worry. I like that kind of actor too.”

“Do you think the company thinks that way too?”

“You know our company’s position. We told you to do whatever you want, so just do whatever you want.”

The soft words made me want to grumble for no reason.

“Why do you always take my side? What if I get even worse here?”

“yes?”

Jinbae responded as if it was absurd.

“I wish he would become a little more ill-mannered. And I don’t think the actor said that at the awards ceremony because he was ill-mannered.”

“sure?”

“It’s not like you did it without thinking about the consequences. It’s hard to defeat someone who knows the power of words.”

They say that a person who is usually reserved is more fearsome when he opens his mouth, so it tickled my ears to hear the words, “Well done.”

When people around me said, “It was cider,” or “It was cool,” I didn’t think much of it.

Listening to Jinbae hyung, I felt like I had become something great.

‘What a kind person.’

Along with the feeling of being softened, a sense of responsibility came over me.

‘I have to do better.’

As Jinbae said, if I were someone who knew the power of words, I should have been more careful in my actions from now on.

In the first place, all of this was possible because CEO Jang Woo-yeon invested in me as if I were a stock, not a product of the company.

‘It’ll be better if you leave it alone.’

I guess I can act more proactively thanks to what Representative Jang said.

Still, I realized that accepting the award was a good thing when Team Leader Woo called me with a broad smile on his face.

―Yeonjae, advertising offers are pouring in. They’re pouring in.

According to Team Leader Woo, I’m being bombarded with advertising offers like crazy.

The proposals came from groups that spread anti-racist messages and from several large corporations that support them.

‘I’m so busy filming the movie that I’m out of my mind.’

I was a little worried about whether I could film a commercial in this condition, but Team Leader Woo spoke so clearly that it seemed pointless.

-Don’t worry, I’m not planning on taking pictures anyway. I just said it to make you feel better.

“Really? That’s a pretty good offer. Do you really have to do it?”

-You’ll do better here anyway. They’ll give you a better offer later, so just take it then.

“How can you be so confident?”

Team Leader Woo answered my question with hesitation like this.

-That’s because I’m good at my job.

I could finally smile at that confident voice.

―You should be careful with offers like this. You didn’t say that to become some kind of icon, did you?

“yes.”

– Then, while enjoying popularity, you can do whatever you want. For now, focus on the movie.

It was comfortable to have someone who was good at their job next to me.

With everything going smoothly, there was only one thing left to bother me.

as soon as….

“Wow, crazy.”

“It’s so pretty. It’s my masterpiece.”

“Actor, just a moment. I need to take a picture of this and send it to actor Jeong-Hyeon―”

While the chaos was going on around me, I looked in the mirror and sighed.

‘ha.’

I touched my wig with a heavy heart.

The ends of her hair swayed and touched her waist.

‘… … How do I ride the wire with this?’

The fairy I was playing this time had long hair.

That too, long hair that reaches down to the waist.
