Chapter 318

Seo-jun-ri, who belonged to Kings Agency, expressed his willingness to star in a movie. 

The planning team leader, who had contacted Kings Agency and set up a meeting date, said.

Seo-jun-ris side also accepted it quite readily.

Some actors had refused to modify the existing script due to Davis Garretts appearance, but Seo-jun-ri sent a positive answer shortly after receiving the script.

Is it possible because he doesnt know anything?

He might have made an easy decision if he didnt know Davis Garretts acting style.

The planning team leader scratched his chin and recalled whether he had informed Kings Agency that the script could be modified when he sent it.

Maybe he heard from Evan Block or Rachel Hill? They both starred in Assemble 4 with Davis, so they would know his style.

The staffs words made the planning team leader nod.

That could be possible. I hope it was a good story

The casting was uncertain until the contract was signed. 

He hoped to set up the meeting date as soon as possible and that there would be no change of mind until then.

Well, there are times when it collapses even after writing the contract.

He hoped that such a thing would not happen and checked the casting status.

The actor who had signed the contract and confirmed the casting, Davis Garrett.

The actor who had expressed his willingness to star, but had not yet written the contract, Seo-jun-ri.

The planning team leader smiled pleasantly at the names of the eternal hero of Marinesa and the most beloved villain of Marinesa.

They must be quite upset in Marinesa.

***

Seo-jun, wearing a black hat, moved to a private room following the staffs guidance. 

It was his regular meat restaurant, so the staff seemed to treat Seo-jun as ordinary as other customers. But he couldnt completely hide his excited steps.

Hi, Seo-jun!

Are you here?

As Seo-jun entered the room, familiar people greeted him.

Lee Ji-seok, who was filming a movie these days, Park Do-hoon, Kim Jong-ho, who were on a break, and Lee Da-jin, who was starring in a drama.

Hello!

Come on, sit here.

You worked hard to save the whale.

Seo-jun smiled and took a seat opposite Lee Ji-seok at Park Do-hoons words.

You hit a home run too! I never thought Id see such a scene live!

I bought a uniform too! I brought it today, so please sign it for me, Seo-jun!

Seo-jun burst into laughter at Lee Da-jins words as she tried to take out a uniform from her bag.

Shall we grill some meat first? They say pork ribs are delicious today.

Lee Ji-seok picked up tongs and put pork ribs on the grill over charcoal. Sizzle. The well-seasoned pork ribs were grilled crispy on the hot charcoal.

Are you not doing an end-of-year performance this year?

At Lee Da-jins question, everyones eyes sparkled except Seo-jun.

They liked watching Seo-juns works on screen, but the theater where they could feel the actors breath and presence was more attractive.

They looked like they would immediately go to Minari Academy as special lecturers if he said he would do an end-of-year performance.

Seo-jun laughed and said.

I dont think I can. Im planning to shoot my next work.

Unlike the planning team leaders worry, he hadnt even met or signed a contract yet, but Seo-jun was already full of thoughts of shooting.

He had been analyzing the script and creating the character he would play since two days after receiving and accepting the script. 

He was more careful in character creation than usual because of Davis Garretts acting style.

Next work?

Park Do-hoon stopped his hand that was wrapping lettuce wraps.

Was there any interesting script lately?

If it was a work that Seo-jun liked, Park Do-hoon might have felt quite interested too, but there was no such work among the scripts that came into the company.

I didnt hear any rumors at all If Seo-jun stars in it, it will be a big deal

Lee Ji-seok recalled while cutting well-cooked pork ribs with scissors. People were still buzzing about Seo-juns documentary. There was no sound of C for his next work.

Maybe hes trying to keep it secret until the end like Escape?

Yeah. The impact was great as much as he hid it at first.

Kim Jong-ho agreed with Lee Da-jins words as he drank cola.

Everyone stopped eating and focused on Seo-jun. 

They knew best how good Seo-juns eyes were for scripts.

Seo-jun wrapped a lettuce wrap and ate it vigorously. 

He felt that they were all passionate about acting as well.

Seo-jun, just tell us a little bit.

Do you have a script? Can I read it?

Who is the director? What is the genre?

Who are you acting with?

Seo-jun smiled and answered the questions from the actors.

Im acting with Davis Garrett.

Huh?

The four actors blinked their eyes at the sudden appearance of a foreign actor.

And a few seconds later.

Lee Da-jin and Park Do-hoon opened their eyes wide. 

Lee Ji-seok and Kim Jong-ho also sighed with their mouths open.

Dont tell me your next work is a Hollywood movie?!

Lee Da-jin, who almost shouted without knowing, covered her mouth with both hands.

It was a closed room, but she thought someone might hear it.

Yes.

Another exclamation came out at Seo-juns answer.

Hey, Seo-jun. If its Davis Garrett, its Redbone, right? Then are you shooting a hero movie?

Bro. Davis Garretts contract ended with Assemble 4, so he wont be in it anymore.

Kim Jong-ho answered Lee Ji-seoks question.

Didnt Seo-juns contract end with Shadowman 3 too?

Well, he can make a new contract if he wants.

Park Do-hoon and Lee Da-jin also looked puzzled. 

They all seemed more interested in Seo-juns next work than the meat that was cooking on the grill.

Seo-jun laughed and said.

Its not a hero movie, its a disaster movie. The title is Survivors.

The title alone gives off a disaster vibe.

The three actors nodded at Kim Jong-hos words.

Survivors Is it like Escape?

Its a Hollywood movie, so the scale might be bigger. Bro.

A meteor collision or something?

Everyone laughed at Lee Da-jins words.

Thats too much.

Lee Ji-seok moved the cooked meat to the side of the grill with tongs, laughing. Fortunately, it wasnt burnt.

But its not 0 percent.

Lee Da-jin nodded repeatedly at Kim Jong-hos words.

There are quite a few Hollywood movies set in space, so you never know. What do you think, Seo-jun? Am I right?

Seo-jun shook his head vigorously with a smile at Lee Da-jins sparkling eyes.

No.

Aw. No way.

The meal, which had paused for a moment at the news of Seo-juns next work, resumed. 

Seo-jun briefly explained his next work while munching on the cooked meat.

Park Do-hoon, who was listening with a nod, asked.

Who is the director?

Its his second commercial film. He has made a lot of independent films. The production company is Bear Round.

Its not Marinesa.

Everyone laughed without knowing at Park Do-hoons words.

It was because they thought it was a Marinesa film without knowing, since Seo-jun had debuted and built his career with the Shadowman series, which was a Marinesa film.

They will need a lot of extras if the setting is a mall.

Seo-jun nodded at Lee Ji-seoks words.

Thats why they are planning to hold auditions. They are going to find extras to appear in the background from around, but they are also looking for my characters family. The roles of father and mother.

Then they will use Asian actors.

Yes. They have lines too.

Kim Jong-hos eyes darkened at Seo-juns words.

Seo-jun and the three actors, who didnt notice Kim Jong-hos appearance, chatted while eating. 

The topic of the conversation moved from Seo-juns next work to Lee Ji-seok and Lee Da-jin, who were currently filming.

Should I try it too?

Everyones eyes were focused on one place at the sudden remark. 

Kim Jong-ho, who seemed to be pondering something with a glass of soju in his hand, appeared.

Huh? What are you going to do, bro?

Lee Ji-seok tilted his head at Kim Jong-hos short remark.

Audition.

Audition Ah, audition judge? Uncle. Are you joining the next work?

Kim Jong-ho scratched his cheek and said at Park Do-hoons question.

No. I mean Seo-juns next work audition.

Seo-juns next work is

Its a Hollywood movie.

And if its an audition

Its for Seo-juns family?

Seo-jun and the three actors looked at Kim Jong-ho with blank eyes.

Well, they are looking for Asian actors, right? I dont know if they are acting in Korean or English, but I can speak some English too. And it might suit me better to speak awkward English according to my age. If not, I can learn pronunciation from Seo-jun and just spit it out. I can do dialects perfectly if I learn them. And I think I fit the age for Seo-juns father role too.

Kim Jong-hos words got longer as he saw the four peoples eyes.

Only then did Seo-jun and the three people realize that Kim Jong-ho was serious.

They opened their mouths wide. 

That reaction made Kim Jong-ho smile awkwardly and say.

Hmm. Going to Hollywood at this age Is it foolish?

Seo-jun shook his head quickly.

Foolish?

No way!

Not at all!

Rather, it looked really cool.

Kim Jong-ho wasnt just anyone, but one of the top actors in Korea.

It was a difficult thing to challenge a new place called Hollywood like other rookie actors from the audition.

If Seo-juns appearance was revealed, peoples attention would be focused, and even if he kept it secret as much as possible, there was a possibility that Kim Jong-hos audition challenge would be revealed.

And

He didnt want to think about it, but he could also fail the audition.

Then surely bad articles will come up.

There was no way Kim Jong-ho didnt think about what Seo-jun thought.

The way to Hollywood, which felt closer than before because of Seo-juns activities.

But it was still a rough road with a higher chance of failure than success. 

Even now, actors who challenged every year came out and repeated failures.

And it was none other than Kim Jong-ho, an actor with great acting skills.

The impact of failure would not be so small. 

It could also damage his image as an actor with great acting skills. But Kim Jong-ho said he wanted to challenge.

There was no actor in this place who didnt know how great that was.

Not at all.

If it was something else related to Kim Jong-ho, Lee Ji-seok would have joked around with him, but he had no intention of ignoring Kim Jong-hos challenge.

Seo-jun. Is there no role for me? No? How about uncle?

Rather, Kim Jong-hos challenge seemed to raise Lee Ji-seoks challenge desire.

It was a dreamlike thing to hang on movie theaters around the world with Korean works, but it was also a dream of actors to star in Hollywood movies and act with world-class actors.

Thats awesome!

Really!

Park Do-hoon and Lee Da-jin said with flushed faces. Kim Jong-ho, who was really challenging, looked really great compared to them, who were just thinking about it.

Kim Jong-ho coughed and said, avoiding the sincere eyes of Seo-jun and the three actors.

Then Ill try it.

Seo-jun, Park Do-hoon, and Lee Da-jin smiled broadly at Kim Jong-hos shy look. Our uncle is awesome!

Lee Ji-seok chuckled and said.

Jong-ho bro. Dont cry even if you pass the audition.

Hey!

Everyone laughed at Lee Ji-seoks affectionate joke.
