From a supporting role to a genius actor with a face, episode 277

Chapter 35. The World (10)

“What’s going on? Huh?”

Director Lee Cheol-gi pushed through the noisy staff and stepped in front of the two people who were arguing.

Director Lee Cheol-gi clapped his hands at Eddie, who was glaring at Tae-il, with a bewildered look on his face.

[Huh? Who is this? Eddie?!]

[Director!?]

Eddie’s fierce face suddenly relaxed, and he hugged Director Lee Cheol-gi lightly.

Director Lee Cheol-gi patted Eddie on the back.

[What’s going on so far? I heard that your schedule for this visit to Korea is extremely busy.]

[That’s, well. Just being humble.]

Unlike Director Lee Cheol-gi, who was delighted, Eddie was at a loss and couldn’t do anything.

‘Eddie said he was very interested in director Lee Cheol-gi’s works.’

I wanted to appear in the work so badly that I even auditioned for it myself.

Although the audition fell through due to scheduling conflicts, it became a hot topic in the industry just because of the fact that it was held.

As Eddie, who had always wanted to work with director Lee Cheol-gi, he could not act so brazenly.

‘Up to this point everything went according to plan. Now… … .’

It’s time to have a deeper conversation with Eddie, who has loosened up a bit.

Taeil turned his eyes to Director Lee Cheol-gi as he watched Eddie with an embarrassed expression.

“Director, can you spare me a moment?”

“hmm.”

In fact, director Lee Cheol-gi did not know what kind of connection Eun Tae-il and Eddie had.

But this floor is just a snack for 10 years.

Seeing that Eddie, who was busy with his promotional schedule, followed Eun Tae-il here, I could guess what the situation was.

‘Eddie, I think you told Eun Tae-il about that. Tsk.’

Director Lee Cheol-gi clicked his tongue and pointed to a large vehicle.

It was a rental van for use as a waiting room.

“There’s no one in the waiting car right now, so write there.”

As Taeil, who was ahead, seemed to be glaring, Eddie went one step ahead of Taeil.

“He’s still the same.”

Director Lee Cheol-gi shook his head and turned his eyes to the scene.

The camera director linked arms as he watched the makeup van with the two people inside.

“Is that picture okay? From what I read in the article, it looks like that bastard is really holding on.”

“Well… Since it’s Eun Tae-il. Let’s get ready.”

Director Lee Cheol-gi raised his hand and turned around.

[Small army.]

Eddie stepped into the lit makeup van and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Taeil offered a cup of mixed coffee to Eddie, who was sitting down.

Eddie stretched out his arms to the left and right and looked up at Taeil askance.

[I only drink Intelligentse coffee.]

[Whether you drink or not, you are still a guest.]

[You have to give the customer what he wants.]

[Because you are an uninvited guest.]

Even over just one mixed coffee, the fight was fierce.

Eddie, sitting with his legs crossed, wiggled the corners of his mouth as if he found it funny that Taeil was trying not to give in.

[I don’t know what kind of confidence you have. Do you trust Director Marcel? I don’t know if he knows who I am.]

[Because learning is confidence.]

[Is there any basis for that confidence?]

Eddie was constantly laughing at Taeil.

Taeil was looking at Eddie indifferently.

As if telling me to try again, in a calm tone.

Taeil tilted his head as he looked at the wall clock.

[Is the time okay? I heard you’re leaving the country soon.]

[I plan to greet him properly before I go. I postponed my schedule to do the project, so I have to do it properly. He’s an actor whose face it’s hard to even see.]

Eddie’s eyes were burning brightly.

To him, this Asian actor was just different.

Is it true that even a shit dog will show its mettle in its own home?

[This is true. I thought you said it was hard to see this time.]

[So, why are you deciding that on your end?]

A petty war of attrition followed.

Taeil knew.

If you miss your flight, you miss it, Eddie Hempston will never back down.

I needed something concrete to convince him.

Of course Taeil had prepared for it.

[Are you that jealous that you got recognition from Director Marcel?]

[Let me hear what nonsense you’re trying to say.]

[Because you weren’t recognized. Even though you were the lead actor.]

For the first time, Eddie’s poker face cracked.

Eddie, holding a paper cup that he had never touched before, squinted his eyes.

Regardless, Taeil continued speaking calmly.

[I wondered what was going on with an Asian actor that made Director Marcel postpone the filming schedule. That’s why I came to check.]

[There’s no need for that. I just think the director’s eye isn’t as good as I thought.]

The corners of Taeil’s mouth slightly rose.

[I think this hit the nail on the head. I’m sorry.]

[… … .]

[Because it seems like director Marcel gives more recognition to supporting actors than leading actors?]

Eddie’s eyes shook violently.

But his mouth was still smiling.

Unlike before, it is difficult to control.

[You know how to bark in a fun way. Keep doing it.]

[Actor Eddie Hempston was not cast by director Marcel.]

[Huh, how did you do that?]

When Tae-il questioned whether Director Marcel’s directing style and Eddie Hempston’s acting style didn’t match, Director Lee Chul-ki answered that it did.

It is said that Hollywood’s financial power has the power to bring together directors and actors who don’t fit well with each other.

Of course, Taeil didn’t stop at just knowing.

[Director Marcel is good at making things realistic by paying attention to details. As for you, he is sensitive to the condition and feeling of the day.]

[… … .]

[Thorough analysis, research. The working style of director Marcel and actor Eddie is like a block that doesn’t fit.]

[It’s none of your business.]

Unlike before, Eddie’s voice was lowered.

There was no commotion.

Literally pure rage.

Even though the directing and acting styles were different, the investors and production staff pushed ahead.

Because both director Marcel and Eddie Hempston were sure of box office success.

Something I thought would somehow produce results.

But Taeil’s mouth didn’t stop.

[I thought about it. Did director Marcel really delay the start of filming just because of me?]

[What are you trying to say?]

[I wonder if it wasn’t because of actor Nalan’s schedule that he wanted to give you more time.]

If he had been swinging the whip a little while ago, this time he was offering a carrot.

In the end, the Asian actor is just an excuse, the real reason is you, the lead actor.

In some ways, it’s a shallow packaging, but… … .

[… … funny sound.]

Eddie’s mouth, which had been whipped until now, trembled slightly.

So much so that it can’t be hidden.

‘This is ridiculous. I know I’m being swayed by this guy’s words… … .’

It was shameful to be emotionally shaken in front of an Asian guy whose name I didn’t even know.

But I couldn’t hide the fact that I felt good.

Even though Eddie had survived on this earth for a long time, Taeil’s words were right on the mark.

Clearly, at first it was anger, then anxiety.

But as the conversation continued, my mind became at ease, as if it were a lie.

‘I know the real reason is because of my schedule, but I guess that doesn’t matter.’

Now is the time for some nice wrapping paper.

Taeil even wrote a letter and posted it there.

[I think director Marcel is looking forward to your performance.]

[… … .]

[Acting that captures the feeling of the moment. That’s why people have high expectations.]

Eddie, who used to vent his anger, was nowhere to be found.

All that was visible before my eyes was a young man with his head bowed and the corners of his mouth twitching.

“Patience. So you sent that bastard away nicely?”

Chairman Kim grumbled as he poured thick makgeolli toward Taeil, who was sitting across from him.

Taeil, who had just put down his makgeolli, continued speaking politely.

“I’m sorry, but I have to let you go.”

“It’s petty. Are you going to let the guy with the knife come at me go?”

Chairman Kim grumbled, but Taeil shrugged.

“For now, you’re on my side.”

“Okay, if you do that you’ll really get stabbed.”

“I told you there’s no such thing as a knife.”

“Enough with the words of a guy who can’t even drink alcohol. They have no weight.”

Chairman Kim kept nagging Tae-il.

Taeil drank water instead of the makgeolli in front of him and added some spice to his words.

‘Oh, it’s so strange. When that picky gentleman sees Eun Tae-il… … .’

New Plus Asia branch manager, Seo, looked at Eun Tae-il with curious eyes.

It was the first time I saw Chairman Kim so relaxed.

Although he always acted as if he was free, Chairman Kim was a man who lived behind a thick iron wall.

But when Eun Tae-il came, that wall quickly collapsed.

“……I haven’t lived as long as you, Chairman. I’ll try to live a little longer.”

“See this? You’ve lived a long time, so go quickly?”

“Buy twice as much as you have already bought.”

“What are you talking about? It’s too long.”

Chairman Kim raised his glass toward Taeil, who was sitting across from him.

Taeil, who couldn’t drink alcohol because he was working, just took a sip of the makgeolli glass he had just received.

New Plus Asia General Manager Seo, who was holding a glass together, turned his eyes to Taeil.

“Mr. Taeil. has reached number one in Asia. It is also doing well in the West.”

Newplus’ advance into Asia led by went smoothly.

Along with the popularity of the work, the popularity of the cast also soared by the day.

Thanks to this, Ji-ana was able to create her first fan club, and Kang Sung-jin was able to hold an overseas fan meeting.

And Chae Seong-il, who has such great charisma that he is more familiar with the title KING than his overseas name.

Each and every one of the actors is noticeably different from before the production.

Chairman Kim took the makgeolli Taeil offered and drank it all in one go.

“But what’s that? That actress coming out and shooting a gun. The ratings were that high, right?”

“You mean ? Phew.”

Branch Manager Seo sighed as he filled Chairman Kim’s empty glass.

If it weren’t for that work, New Plus would have dominated the Korean market more definitely.

Although it was regrettable, I decided to place significance on the success of my first solo launch work.

Chairman Kim tilted his head.

“But that work. Why is there so much talk about it?”

“Huh? What do you mean…?”

“Don’t you know, Branch Manager Seo? The people there said that. That goddess or something. She’s a different type of performer than before. She smells.”

When any work becomes a hit, signs of high viewer ratings tend to appear first.

But this work’s viewer ratings suddenly rose without any such signs.

People’s reactions followed along with statistics and articles saying that the viewer ratings were high.

“If only there was a way to check…….”

Branch Manager Seo twitched his lips.

There was a strong sense of something fishy, ​​but there was no immediate solution.

At that time, Taeil said.

“How about putting in New Plus?”

“It’s a work that was launched around the same time as Taeil’s work…….”

Although Branch Manager Seo’s eyes narrowed, Taeil’s eyes were relaxed.

“So let’s check it out ourselves. Whether it’s manipulation or not.”

Everyone’s attention was focused on Taeil’s suggestion to use the OTT site New Plus as a verification site.
