The Missing Child Actor Is Back - The Missing Child Actor Is Back chapter 118

I said Jaehee.

Kang Chang-hoon continued his tenacious coverage. Arriving by car to a rural village in the province, he held out his business card in front of an old man.

“······reporter?”

“Do you know that I am Yoonjae? He is the grandson of my elder brother.”

The old man frowned and looked back at his memories.

[My first grandson, Jaehee. He said he won an award at some film festival this time.]

[Oops, did you?]

[Don’t you know if this is how you become a great actor? hahahaha!]

I remembered how my brother laughed and liked it. And I heard the story of the sad parting.

The old man recalled how his older brother, who was devastated by the loss of his son, greeted someone warmly.

‘Even though I went through that, I grew up really well.’

The old man also exchanged greetings with Yoonjae. It was impressive that he was handsome and tall, his shoulders wide open, and taking care of his hectic family.

I accidentally turned on the TV and saw it, so I thought I started acting again.

“Why is that guy? If you come to me, you must have already been to my older brother, right?”

“That’s it… I want to hear other people’s stories too.”

Changhoon Kang’s voice was ambiguous. In fact, I didn’t even ask anything.

[what? documentary? It sounds funny! You’re a reporter!]

[yes yes?! Ah, no…]

[get out! Get out now!]

I almost got hit in the back of the head with a broom. Did this guy’s family have any grudge against the reporter? Anyway, it was not a pleasant meeting.

“I’m a distant relative, so I don’t know you well…”

Kang Chang-hoon gently held out the envelope. The old man’s eyes lingered on the envelope for a long time.

These days, gas bills and electricity bills have risen, so it was tight. The old man brought the envelope to me.

Suheon-ah… Brother, I’m sorry. Shouldn’t I live too?

“Jaehee, that guy was a talented kid. There was a lot of aegyo.”

“Was there anything else? The story of her sudden departure to the United States… or what she talked about at the funeral of her nephew and the late Yoon Soo-heon.”

“Ummhmm… We also didn’t have much to say when we first saw him. I went to America. My nephew and his wife were not on good terms, so they were torn apart. My niece and daughter-in-law originally lived in America.”

“is it so? It seems that the nephew couple didn’t get along that much, right? Is it enough to bring a child to a garden in Korea?”

“That’s not…”

From what I’ve heard, gold is also good. I figured out the child’s talent early and supported it, and it was a jackpot, and because of that, I had a conflict ······ More than half of the breakage would have been caused by external factors.

Among them, the indiscriminate writing of the reporters must have played a part.

Thinking about that, it seemed impossible, so the great grandfather evaded his words.

“Anyway, the only thing I can tell you is this, so let’s go.”

“yes? Now, wait a minute. old man.”

After being kicked out of the gate, Kang Chang-hoon sighed as he saw the tightly closed door. I put quite a bit of money in the envelope, but I didn’t get anything like this…

‘But it sounds the same again.’

When I was young, I had a lot of talent and a lot of charm, and I was loved by many people, and so on… No, if it’s like that, I can solve it.

“wait for a sec.”

Kang Chang-hoon, who was heading to the car, turned his head and looked at the old man’s house.

I thought it was because he was an old man and his pronunciation was poor. But… what if that’s not the case?

“I’m sure he said Jaehee.”

The old man’s tone was correct for his age. If you listen to the story, it seems that there was quite a bit of exchange, but you can’t get the name confused?

Kang Chang-hoon came up with a hypothesis he had never thought of before.

‘What if Yoon Jae-yi was Yoon Jae-hee?’

His friendship with Lee Young-chang is understandable, and why Jo Yoo-kyung wraps around him like that fits perfectly. Wasn’t it to the point where strange rumors started to come out from when Yunjae was a bodyguard?

“No way… the real Yoon Jae-hee?!”

Kang Chang-hoon, whose doubts turned into certainties, hurriedly got into the car and picked up the tablet pad.

If you are a journalist in the entertainment industry, there is a name that cannot be known is Yoon Je-hee. The protagonist of the work that led the renaissance of the film industry, it changed the dreams of many people, and many people are still curious about his current situation.

‘A little, do they look alike?’

Kang Chang-hoon put up photos of Yoon Jae-hee and Yoon Jae-yi and looked at them alternately.

If I had to compare Yoon Jae-hee, she was a pretty boy. It has white skin and round eyes, and it naturally triggers a protective instinct.

On the other hand, how to say Yunjae… It was a fruit that gave off a lot of testosterone.

It was a very different type of face and atmosphere.

‘No, since I’ve been through all the pre-natal battles, my face deserves to change.’

He was a man who fought a war against terrorists on the front lines. People say that the more they suffer, the more their faces change.

Kang Chang-hoon searched for Yoon Jae-hee. Many people miss him, so there are even images that speculate what it would have been like if he had grown older with AI. A friendly, gentle-looking young man filled the screen.

“If the lines are just a little thicker here and it gives a cold impression…”

Do you think they look alike?

“Why did I know this now?”

Kang Chang-hoon trembled.

Why did Yoonjay hide his old name and start over? Since he is a young man with a good personality, he probably doesn’t want to rely on his past fame. But what if I reveal this?

‘No, don’t get excited…’

I wanted to reveal it right away, but it’s not the time yet. Kang Chang-hoon grinned.

***

The production company’s office near Sangam and the drama production team were meeting every day. In fact, it was during an argument under the guise of a meeting.

“Kwon Min-jae? Aren’t they too expensive?”

“It’s a comeback work with a gang-gang combination, but I have to use Kwon Min-jae.”

“This person is doing this because we can’t afford our production costs.”

“If you say Kwon Min-jae, won’t the investment come in?”

“Do you know how easy it is to invest? We need to think about our existing investors.”

Kwon Min-jae is a young actor, but he is good at acting and has a long career, so he has many fans. The problem is that each episode costs about 150 million won. He was at the level of a top actor.

“Lim Dong-bin, who is this?”

“The acting is a bit… I have a lot of small pieces, so the director hates it.”

“What about Choi Do-gyeom? Are you asking me to try a lead role at this point?”

“Does the image match our drama?”

In the process of throwing and excluding them one by one, someone spat out.

“Then how about Yunjae?”

“Yoongi? hmm······.”

Among people in the industry these days, there was no one who didn’t know about YoonJ.

The atmosphere and face that makes you wonder what this person would do if he wasn’t an actor, plus the high-quality acting skills from where he rolled in the theater, and the splendid past is a bonus.

“It suits you, but…”

In addition, all of the works he took on after his debut were above average or hit the jackpot.

Unlike the shy team leader, people listed Yoon J’s strengths one by one.

“Your face is a dog.”

“You’re good at music, did you watch the college festival fancam?”

“Since you’re from here, wouldn’t the action be amazing?”

“Your popularity overseas has also exploded.”

“I thought comics would do pretty well too.”

＜Backstage＞ also made a good performance by overcoming genre limitations. In addition, it is said that it exploded in Japan because of the idols who appeared.

Japan is a good market for dramas. It’s not that the drama is trying to recruit Hallyu actors for nothing.

Besides, this year was almost the same as the year of “Intermission.” Ajitato’s popularity did not cool down, and Yoon-jae was noted for his talent in doing his job well.

“Honestly, even a man can admit it.”

“······ This is an actor meeting or a fan meeting?”

In fact, it wasn’t that the team leader didn’t think of YoonJ. The role and image match, and the acting is good.

However… he became a big player in a very short period of time.

“If it’s that popular, I think you’ll have your next work piled up next year or the year after that?”

“No, not really. The agency is Astra.”

Astra has become as famous as Yoon J. Excavating YoonJ was also excavating, and all the great actors who are said to be the next to change agencies one by one are Astra.

“I know you are good at acting. But don’t you think you haven’t had enough time yet for a leading role in a genre drama? what do you think about it?”

“Chief, haven’t you seen ‘Intermission’?”

“I saw it.”

“Is that the ability to control the screen of someone who doesn’t have enough time?”

It wasn’t like that… The person called the team leader leaned against the backrest.

In the scene where Yoo Tae-hyeok prepares to let go of the violin, on that wide screen, the audience had to be immersed only with eyes and breathing without dialogue.

And Yunjae did a great job with it, and it was a scene that many people in the industry highly praised in ＜Intermission＞. So did the chief.

“How much is the guarantee?”

“I think it would have risen more than before after the movie hit the jackpot, but it will still be cheaper than Kwon Min-jae.”

“hmm······.”

Being in the same agency as Kwon Min-jae is a challenge. I heard that there is a very devilish chief over there. Was it a terrible poison that would keep on biting and hanging out for the benefit and convenience of its actors?

“Call me at once.”

And Yoonjay, who just came to the agency office to play, received a synopsis from the devil-like head of the office, Kwak Do-hyeon.

“I think it will be fine. It’s the first comeback of the combination of Kang Pil-hyeon and Kang Ye-jin in 3 years.”

“Are they famous?”

“There is only one thing that just hit the jackpot, but they are the ones who consistently put out good works.”

Yoonjay skimmed through the synopsis. Because it’s ＜Memory String＞······ The one who proposed to Yoon J was, of course, the leading role. Once you play the lead role, you will continue to play the lead role.

In fact, he was not happy with this rapid growth. There are a lot of good characters even if they don’t have a lot of weight. I want to enter even if it means lowering the performance fee, but all of the offers are leading roles.

Did you hear from Kwak Do-hyun that the other actor felt burdened? it’s a shame.

‘They’re twins…’

The story was quite interesting.

A man who used to live in the world hears about the disappearance of his twin brother.

The man didn’t look very sad when he heard that half was missing. Because he was a discriminated younger brother.

The younger brother has various interests intertwined and becomes a stand-in for his twin brother.

And he suddenly receives a fragment of his twin brother’s memory, and goes looking for his brother. That is why it is ＜string of memory＞.

“how is it? Can you feel it?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Mr. Jay, you pick out only the good works as if you were inspired by something.”

In particular, the success of ＜Backstage＞ was unexpected even by Kwak Do-hyun. I thought you chose to work with your younger brother simply.

[I just thought it was a good piece. I thought it would be good enough.]

When I heard about it later, I could tell that it had already been calculated in my heart. I heard that the eyes to see the work are also good… Well, that’s probably why Yoon Je-hee.

“Chief Kwak. Please schedule a meeting for this.”

Yoonjae, who was a little worried, stood up. It is a work that feels good. There is no reason not to.

“Did you like it?”

“yes.”

“great. I will contact you.”

Finally, it’s your next project. Personally, Kwak Do-hyun, who became a fan of Yoon J, picked up his cell phone.

From noble mtl dot com.

***

“Yoon J has contacted me. He said he would have a meeting.”

“Did you mention both places?”

“yes.”

Lead actors audition in this way. At the meeting, I talk to the director and the writer and pick up the character.

A meeting can be one time or several times.

The twins in ＜Memory String＞ had polar opposite personalities. So I deliberately set up a different location for the meeting.

One was at a high-end fine dining restaurant, and the other was at a cheap pocha.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of appearance he will show.’

The success of ＜Intermission＞ was a good opportunity for me as an actor, but there is also a bit of a cheating side. Because Yoo Tae-hyuk has been imprinted on the public too much.

It’s a minus if Yunjae doesn’t want to be popular, but aims for something higher and wider in terms of acting.

[If it’s Yunjae, is that Yoo Taehyuk?]

[Yes, how are you?]

[It’s an undeserved actor for us, but I think you’ll know it once you meet it.]

This is the same for director Kang Pil-hyeon and writer Kang Ye-jin of ＜Memory String＞. As soon as I heard the name Yunjae, I said Yoo Tae-hyuk.

It is Yoon-jae’s job to remove the smell of Yoo Tae-hyeok from them .
