A Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune - Chapter 524

The genius actor who brings misfortune (524)
PTN reporter Kim Yeon-doo stared blankly at the ending credits of ‘Spider’.

Following the film ‘Twins’, this was the second leading role of Lee Yeon-jae that I saw at Cannes.

And now she is….

‘her.’

I’m so excited.

‘A collaboration between director Yoon Kang-yeon and actress Lee Yeon-jae.’

Of course, she expected it to be well-made, and her expectations were also very high.

And the movie I actually saw was… .

‘This is crazy, really.’

It was much better than I expected.

‘How could this be… .’

It was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh.

The first scene that reporter Kim Yeon-doo went to was the production presentation for ‘The Butterfly Flower Riding the Zelkova Tree’, and her first overseas business trip was the screening of ‘Twins’.

The first article that went viral was also about Lee Yeon-jae.

Because I was so often entangled with Lee Yeon-jae, it was only natural that I would develop a fondness for him as a person.

She was aware of this, and that’s why she was going to treat this film rigorously and objectively.

but….

‘What do you want me to do?’

Kim Yeondoo felt wronged.

What would happen if we reported objectively in this situation?

‘Lee Yeon-jae is a crazy actress. Why? Because she acted crazy.’ It was obvious that only crazy sentences like this would be listed.

But this was true.

‘Lee Yeon-jae’s acting is crazy.’

The applause that filled the theater proved this.

“(bravo!)”

“(Whew~!)”

Someone whistled through the quiet applause.

It was an impolite act for the conservative Cannes Film Festival, but the theater was so heated that no one could blame him.

Everyone was excited and shared their thoughts with those around them.

“(The acting is amazing. It’s no joke.)”

“(It’s a twist on the twist. Wow, I watched it like I was possessed.)”

“(This is 110 minutes long? It’s already been 2 hours? This is ridiculous.)”

Kim Yeondoo turned her head and looked to the side.

The audience’s attention was focused on actress Lee Yeon-jae.

He was smiling amidst the never-ending applause.

Kim Yeondoo swallowed a sigh, looking at the much more relaxed smile than four years ago.

‘Ugh.’

There’s nothing I can do.

‘Let’s just get cursed at one more time.’

I had a feeling that this time I would receive emails like, ‘How much money did you get by chance?’, ‘It’s definitely reporter Biyeon.’

But what can I do?

Kim Yeondoo smiled wryly.

‘This is true.’

She looked at the Korean actor quietly.

Lee Yeon-jae was shining brilliantly amidst the applause.

‘What are you thinking about now?’

How would it feel to see a film you wrote at the Cannes Film Festival?

It seemed like it would be touching, and at the same time, it felt like it would give me goosebumps because of the overwhelming feeling.

But there was something that everyone in the theater, including her, didn’t know.

In Lee Yeon-jae’s head….

‘If this continues, my arm will fall off.’

This was all I could think of, unfortunately.

* * *

‘How long are you going to keep clapping?’

I felt this way during Twins, but the applause at the Cannes Film Festival was too long.

‘My arm hurts.’

Even though it is a tradition, isn’t this behavior too wasteful?

Aren’t we past the days when a few minutes of applause could prove the quality of a movie?

Wouldn’t it be better to discuss the movie at this time, or rather watch a different movie?

Even though I grumbled to myself, the applause continued.

‘It’s exactly the same as 4 years ago.’

Of course, there were some things that had changed since then.

First, I have Nam In-hu and In-jun next to me.

Second, because I’m tall, my viewpoint has changed significantly.

And thirdly, Director Yoon is smiling brightly.

“(Director, the movie was really perfect.)”

“(Haha, thank you.)”

He was smiling the whole time as he shook hands with people.

He even added this:

“(My lucky charm did it all, what.)”

Are you crazy??

I poked him in the ribs to save face.

But Director Yoon did not give up and just smiled brightly and pointed at me.

Thanks to that, the camera kept capturing me.

‘Oh, really.’

I could feel the heat rising in my ears in real time.

I focused on something else to cool down.

‘My English skills have improved a lot over the past four years.’

At that time, I couldn’t understand a single thing that people around me were saying.

The words of people around me lingered in my ears, making me feel like I didn’t regret the money I paid for the lectures.

“(The actors’ acting is amazing.)”

“(Korean works always seem to have a chewy texture. They don’t sag.)”

“(I got goosebumps from the choking god. How―.)”

thank god.

‘The reaction is not bad.’

But it was unfortunate that the applause lasted for more than 15 minutes.

Please save me.

“(Okay, you can go this way.)”

I followed the path guided by the film festival staff.

Nam In-hu, who had gone ahead of me, muttered with a face that had turned pale.

“I thought my arm was going to fall off….”

“haha.”

I smiled lightly at the sincere words, and quietly swallowed the words that said I wanted to cut off my arm.

‘hmm.’

Just before leaving the theater, I glanced at the screen.

The movie was completely over and only a dark background filled the screen.

I thought as I looked at that sight.

‘Spider is….’

It will last forever.

That fact will not change even when Choi Seong-in becomes a true ‘adult’.

Because another one will take over the Spider seat.

‘I can’t help it.’

Humans and trash have no choice but to coexist.

No matter how much you separate the trash, it will spread silently among humans like a poisonous flower.

‘There will always be trash that kills trash.’

So what should we do?

Just keep living wearing a normal mask.

Spending your whole life doubting whether the person next to you is human, trash, or trash that kills trash.

That’s how you should live.

… … and what’s inside my mask.

“(There will be a one-minute break until the next interview.)”

“(Ugh…. This is hard.)”

After the film screening, the remaining schedule was interviews, interviews, and more interviews.

We’ve been met by countless journalists, podcasters, and influencers from all over the world.

Each interview lasted only about five minutes, and breaks were even shorter.

‘They all ask the same question.’

I know it has to be that way, but it’s getting boring after giving the same answer for hours.

That was when.

“hello.”

The corners of my mouth went up reflexively at the familiar voice.

“Reporter Kim Yeondoo!”

“How have you been, Yeonjae?”

“Of course. It’s nice to see you again. Thank you for coming all the way here.”

Kim Yeon-doo, a reporter for PTN, was standing there.

I was especially happy to see him because he was a reporter I had met since my debut.

I’m definitely not happy that I don’t have to speak English for the next five minutes. Absolutely not.

“I don’t have much time, so I’ll ask you as quickly as I can.”

Reporter Kim Yeon-doo quickly sat down in her chair and began to speak at a rapid pace.

“There is a lot of interest in Spider because Director Yoon and actress Lee Yeon-jae co-wrote it. But after watching Spider, I have some questions.”

“What is the question?”

“This isn’t the first time actress Lee Yeon-jae has written a screenplay. She also wrote the sign language drama “February 3rd” and the web drama “Guide to Minors.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But this film seems to have a completely different perspective from .”

‘Guide to Minors’ was a drama that showed that teenagers covered in the media do not represent all teenagers.

It contains the meaning that we can create our own word, teenagers, which is entangled with all kinds of provocative packaging such as crime, bullying, etc.

But ‘Spider’ was a work that vividly depicted teenage crime, which has been recently covered in the media.

“I find the change really fascinating.”

Reporter Kim Yeon-doo continued.

“I felt like there was no room to embrace teenagers in this work. I wonder why your thoughts are different from when you worked on .”

As expected, it was reporter Kim Yeondoo.

Finally, he opened his mouth with a smile to the question that had become an interview.

“It’s not that my thinking has changed. I just said that we shouldn’t give up on teenagers who aren’t covered by the media, and even then, I didn’t intend to be very tolerant of teenagers who committed crimes.”

“okay.”

“We should do our best in what we can do, but there are things we cannot do.”

Any teenager going to school would think the same thing.

Oh, I hope it doesn’t only harm me.

‘Please don’t get involved with them.’

But that doesn’t work out the way we want.

We can be victims at any time, and sometimes we can be bystanders.

“It is impossible for victims and bystanders to work together to push away the perpetrator. It is too much to ask to treat this as an individual problem.”

“Yes.”

“Ultimately, social intervention is necessary, and I thought that the organization called the spider web was the most unrealistic yet realistic response.”

‘Guide to Minors’ and ‘Spider’ are works that ultimately contain the same meaning.

Let’s do the best we can.

And what I could do was create art.

“I have the weapon of imagination and acting to realize it. I wanted to do my best in this way for things I couldn’t do. This work is the result.”

Reporter Kim Yeon-doo’s expression was blank.

After a moment of silence, she said:

“… … I think this is the first time I’ve seen Yeonjae talk this much.”

Oh, did I talk too much?

I felt a little embarrassed when a reporter who had done many interviews said something like that.

While I was laughing awkwardly, Director Yoon answered instead.

“Bokdeungi is originally a serious person when it comes to work.”

“Director, shh.”

I poked Director Yoon in the ribs again.

‘I told you not to call me that in formal settings.’

Euig.

Reporter Kim Yeon-doo also asked In-jun and Nam In-hu about their feelings about acting.

And just before leaving, he said this.

“This time, it’s going to kill me again?”

“yes?”

I answered in confusion.

“No?”

“yes?”

Reporter Kim Yeon-doo asked back, seemingly confused.

“No… isn’t Spider dead?”

“It could be alive. It depends on how you interpret it.”

“Then where was the last shot fired? Was it at the wall?”

“well.”

I replied, ‘Realistically, that’s unlikely.’

Because the video will be reported to the higher-ups through the lens worn by Choi Seong-in.

But it was also true that Choi Sung-in could have stolen Spider if he wanted to.

“What do you think, Yeonjae?”

“I think I’m dead.”

Reporter Kim Yeon-doo looked even more confused.

“… … Then it’s Ido-juk, right?”

“No. That’s my standard, and there was definitely no death scene.”

When I asked if that was okay, the other person had no answer.

Is it because of my mood?

It seemed as if someone was laughing loudly.

I also heard the front door slam shut.

‘Ugh.’

What if Hyung Jeong leaves home again?

That guy really has nowhere to go now… .
