From a supporting role to a genius actor with a face, episode 287

Chapter 38. From a minor role to a top actor with a genius face

“Action-!”

A red light came on on the camera, and Kang Sung-jin put his hand on the face of the actress standing in front of him.

“Right now, I just want this time to continue.”

The new actress who just debuted blushed slightly as she held Kang Sung-jin’s hand.

Could it be because of the warmth I feel from his hands?

A smile appeared on my face without me realizing it.

‘… … .’

But the new actress couldn’t just be intoxicated by the warmth.

Because the senior’s wink was urging me to move on quickly.

Soon a shadow fell over the actress’ face.

“sorry.”

“Seong-ah……”

“I, I…….”

Unable to continue speaking, she pushed Kang Sung-jin away and left the angle.

Kang Sung-jin, unable to catch her, just stares blankly at the place where she disappeared.

The camera slowly captured Kang Sung-jin’s appearance, unable to even raise his hand.

“…okay!”

The bearded director stood up, knocking over his chair.

The tension flowing through the scene disappeared, and Kang Sung-jin’s hazy gaze returned to normal.

“Mr. Seongjin. You’ve worked hard.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

“Our Seongjin’s acting is really, there’s nothing I can say about it. He’s the best in the country.”

Kang Sung-jin’s eyes widened and he waved his hand.

“Hey, Director. When I hear you say that, I know you’re telling the truth.”

“Why? No? If this work goes well, how many box office hits will there be? Only 10 million titles left?”

The director continued to praise him while stroking his beard, but Kang Sung-jin shook his head.

“I still have a long way to go. At this level… I can’t even reach that guy’s heels.”

“High, high.”

As the director turned around with a playful smile, Kang Sung-jin sat down on the chair with his name on it.

‘I’m doing this because I don’t have a brother.’

It’s already been 5 years.

A lot of time has passed since my brother moved his activities overseas from Korea.

Kang Sung-jin faithfully pursued his acting career as he had seen and learned from him.

As a result, the five years made Kang Sung-jin a top actor.

But Kang Sung-jin knew.

When he returns, I have to get down from this empty seat.

I didn’t really feel any regrets.

At first, I hated him more than anyone else, but he was my role model and the actor I wanted to emulate the most.

“Seongjin. That piece you mentioned last time.”

“Oh, Mr. So’s work? How did it turn out?”

Kang Sung-jin’s eyes turned to the man standing next to him.

This time, it was Yeon Se-jun, the CEO of EW Entertainment, a large entertainment company that signed a contract.

Representative Yeon shook his head and shrugged.

“That writer is so stubborn. He said that Seongjin wanted another actor instead of you…….”

“Let’s do an audition, shall we?”

“Are you okay? If you fail an audition for no reason, it’ll be humiliating and all…….”

“Hey, you know our company motto.”

Kang Sung-jin’s eyes lit up.

“If you like the piece, do whatever you want. Eun Tae-il, you’ve blown all the wind out of the actors’ sails.”

Kang Sung-jin’s face lit up as he looked at the grumbling representative.

As he had seen and learned from Eun Tae-il, he was still walking the path of an actor.

* * *

Five years after the Super Drama Awards incident,

Those five years also brought many changes to the Korean entertainment industry.

“Whether it’s Ongga or Eunga, they’re all the same. Leave all the annoying work to me. Rotten bastards.”

Yeon Se-jun, the CEO of EW Entertainment, now the largest talent agency in Korea, grumbled the whole time he was behind the wheel.

EW Entertainment is a company created by the merger of the existing Wine Entertainment and Eun Tae-il’s EJ Entertainment.

Yeon Se-jun was the co-representative there.

“You are the representative, so give me at least a driver.”

As the saying goes, this damn company doesn’t even give out articles unless something special happens.

Co-CEO Ongjin said that he should drive himself unless it was something that required protocol, and gave him the car keys instead of having a chauffeur drive him.

“If the car was broken, I would have hit it right away.”

Representative Yeon frowned as he looked at the pitiful three-pointed star.

The place we arrived at by car was the only women’s prison in the country.

After going through the process and waiting for a while, a woman appeared beyond the iron bars.

“Why did you come here? Did Eun Tae-il tell you to come and see what I look like?”

A haggard woman wearing a prisoner number.

Lee Seung-ah was once a top actress whose beauty was obscured by her haggard appearance.

“Your temper is still the same. I think you’ll feel more comfortable looking at me than looking at those people.”

“Ask me to show you my face. I’ll even chew on your ears.”

Lee Seung-ah’s sharp eyes shone fiercely.

Representative Yeon, who was looking at Seungah Lee through the iron bars, shook his head.

“Did you stab Kim Yul to live like this?”

“That kid, he still fights even after losing.”

Lee Seung-ah’s sharp eyes were filled with hostility.

Kim Yul, who was stabbed by her at the press conference, was taken to the hospital.

But the area where he was stabbed was not in good condition.

Kim Yul, who had been struggling for several days, eventually died.

“Eun Tae-il, it’s all because of that kid. Tell him to wait 20 years. I’ll be there soon.”

Lee Seung-ah’s twisted eyes shone coldly.

Eun Tae-il.

If I think about it, it was after I met that guy that my life started to go wrong.

If it weren’t for that guy, my life wouldn’t have been rotting away in this cold prison…

Representative Yeon looked at her blankly and shook his head.

“You know what? Representative Won said the same thing.”

“Is it necessary to mention such a coward?”

“But he was the representative. Anyway, that person will never be able to come near this world.”

After the press conference, Gloam Entertainment virtually fell apart.

The knife-wielding of affiliated entertainers was a problem, but the suspicion that the ratings were manipulated was the final blow.

Eventually, an investigation was launched, and those involved were summoned and punished one after another.

Representative Won himself avoided going to jail because he had such a strong support system… … .

I was banned from the entertainment industry forever.

Lee Seung-ah, who was looking at Representative Yeon, raised the corners of her mouth as if she was laughing.

“Enough with those petty guys. Eun Tae-il…….”

“Eun Tae-il? Eun Tae-il is still doing well. Soon… No.”

Representative Yeon snapped his fingers and stood up from his seat.

“There’s no need to say anything. It’ll just hurt your feelings. I’ll come again next time.”

bang-!

“hey!”

A scream was heard from behind, but Representative Yeon did not look back.

‘Oh, nothing has changed.’

Representative Yeon left the prison, listening to the sound of being dragged away.

“I’m going to be late. I have to hurry.”

Boooow-

The car he was driving sped down the highway.

* * *

“Why are you so late?”

Representative Ong frowned at Representative Yeon, who arrived late.

“Don’t say anything too much. Every time I go there, I feel so refreshed.”

“I admit that.”

“Tsk… Our Yunseo. Did you have a good time filming today?”

“yes!”

Kim Yun-seo, who was now quite tall, nodded.

Representative Ong smiled as he brushed back Kim Yun-seo’s hair as she answered cheerfully.

“Yoonseo, my schedule is too busy these days. I need to adjust it a bit.”

“Ms. Siha wants Yunseo to not neglect her studies.”

“You can’t make them into fools who only work.”

Kim Yun-seo continued her creative work while attending school.

He worked so hard on his creative activities that his filmography was dense.

“Oh, there comes Taeil.”

Eun Tae-il slowly appeared, surrounded by bodyguards.

-Gyaaaaaaah!

A thunderous roar filled the airport.

“The world star has arrived.”

“First Asian to star in a $700 million film…….”

The two were approaching Taeil while hurting people.

“Eww-!”

As Taeil was entering the departure lounge, a scream was heard out of nowhere.

* * *

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here.’

This time, it seems like it’s been two years since I’ve been back.

I’ve been to Incheon Airport hundreds of times, but today I’m even happier.

The noise of the fans, the flashing lights.

entire.

-Hallyu star Eun Tae-il is coming!

-Eun Tae-il! Eun Tae-il!

-Just look this way once!

Unlike me, the guards became more tense as people got closer.

“It’s okay. This isn’t a place where you can carry a gun.”

The guards who had been living and working with me since the United States showed no sign of relaxing even at my words.

I also became very attached to these people.

Thanks to these people, I was able to avoid many of those nasty paparazzi.

“You must not come any closer.”

The guards politely but firmly stopped the fans from approaching me.

This clearly shows the fans’ disappointment.

Even if we talk about it in advance, it seems like it’s hard to < ly change ingrained habits.

“It’s okay. Just a moment.”

“Mr. Taeil.”

No matter how much I hear people say I'm a world star or whatever, I'm me.

There's no need to be so harsh to people who come to see me.

"thank you-!"

“Eun Tae-il- Eun Tae-il–!”

Continuing with the fan service, they stood in a photo zone with blue tape.

After striking a natural pose, I sat down.

It feels strange to be asked a question and speak in Korean for the first time in a while.

“You are the first Korean to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Can you briefly share your thoughts?”

“I am grateful that you cast me in a great production because you liked the actor Eun Tae-il. Regardless of whether I win an award or not, I am grateful for the invitation.”

This is the question I hear most often these days.

He is the first Korean to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

They say it's a huge achievement, but honestly, I wasn't very impressed.

I just want to take pictures of my work… … .

If that happens, Representative Ong won't stay still, right?

“Mr. Eun Tae-il. It’s from the ㅇㅇㅇ newspaper. I heard that the reason he was nominated for the Best Actor award this time is because of the talk about diversity in the film industry…….”

“I don’t think that’s something I should talk about.”

The moment when I was happy to finally be able to speak Korean quickly passed.

It seems like reporters are similar here and there.

Authors who do not hesitate to ask rude questions, claiming that it is important to tell the truth.

There is no need to respond to each and every one of those things.

“We will conclude Mr. Eun Tae-il’s press conference here.”

“Mr. Eun Tae-il! Please give me one more!”

“Mr. Eun Tae-il!”

Representative Ong, who was standing in front of me, hurriedly took me out of the airport.

I made my way through the crowd and got out of the airport, but it seemed like I could still hear people cheering for a while.

“Whew, Taeil. Thank you for coming.”

I shook hands with CEO Ong.

I was away from Korea for quite some time, working with CEO Yeon to stabilize the company.

“Mr. Taeil, you really surprise people in many ways. An invitation to the Academy…….”

“Thank you for calling me by one of your works.”

Looking at the wrinkles around Representative Ong's eyes, it felt like five years had passed.

During that time, he worked with director Marcel and based on that work, he established himself in Hollywood.

Going back to being a rookie and handing out business cards, working my way up from the bottom… … .

I learned acting in a new place with a new feeling.

“You’ve been to a lot of auditions, right?”

“It was new. I looked back on my acting from different perspectives.”

Even there, this appearance was a powerful weapon.

Of course, it wasn't easy to squeeze through the gap.

The actors were limited, and I had to go beyond them to make room for myself.

“It felt like I was back to basics for the first time in a long time.”

I got teased a lot.

There were many cases where I was kicked out without even seeing the audition manager.

But when it comes to thickness, how many people can surpass me?

I held on and held on until the opportunity came, and then the opportunity came.

The work that I auditioned for was 'Your Voice', which was nominated this time.

“I didn’t know that they would give a lead role to an Asian. Hollywood is a very conservative place…….”

At first, when I told him that I was going to be the lead actor, CEO Ong said it was hard to believe.

But he did a great job in his leading role.

However, it is another matter whether a work featuring an Asian protagonist receives investment and becomes a box office hit.

Well, as you can see, the results were successful.

“When I go to the academy, I will prepare the best costume.”

Siha's eyes sparkled with excitement from the start.

* * *

[Today is the first time the Academy's doors have widened. Thank you. Actor Eun Tae-il.]

Academy Award for Best Actor, winner.

I had a strange feeling the whole time I was walking down the red carpet.

I was dazed the whole time I was standing on the podium accepting the trophy.

Clap clap clap clap clap-

What brought me back to my senses was the loud applause from the people.

Only then did people come into view, as if they had come to their senses from some daze.

[I would like to thank everyone who gave me this honorable opportunity.]

One by one, the people who made me who I am came to mind.

Representative Ongjin, who has been with me until now, and Siha, who has always cared about my appearance.

Yunseo is now on the path to becoming an actress.

And my fellow actors, staff, and fans that I've worked with.

'Lee Seung-ah.'

At that moment, the first thing that came to mind was her and her friend.

One person is behind bars, the other is not in this world.

An opportunity that allowed me to live a new life as Eun Tae-il, not Kim Seung-chan.

I once dreamed of setting them both up here.

The fact that I'm standing here… is…

“This is not the end. It is another, new beginning.”

The sound of standing ovation continues endlessly.

I was glad that they understood my Korean.

What's important is that I'm already standing here in a new place.

I roughly wiped away a tear flowing from my eye and took a step forward.

“From a supporting role to a genius face and top actor. This was actor Eun Tae-il.”
