Chapter 31

    Chapter 31

    Dad was home before them today.

    The family enjoyed the curry with big chunks of potatoes and meat that dad had cooked for a long time.

    They talked about what happened at the movie set.

    It was his sons first movie shoot in his life, but Lee Minjun couldnt go with him. He felt sorry and asked him many questions.

    How was the shooting?

    It was fun!

    Did you get praised by the director? You did great, right?

    Yes!

    After the shooting was over, Ryan, the director, stopped by the tent and lightly patted Seo-juns head. He said he did well. Seo-jun smiled happily.

    I also took some pictures. Lets look at them later while eating strawberries.

    After dinner, the three of them ate dessert while watching the pictures and videos that Seo Eunhye had taken on the TV.

    The first picture that appeared was Seo-jun sitting on a chair and Ryan Will sitting on the floor, shaking hands. Seo-jun looked even smaller next to the huge Ryan in the picture.

    Seo-jun stopped eating the strawberry.

    Thats the director!

    Hes huge.

    They say hes over 190 centimeters tall in our language.

    Wow He would have been great as an athlete too.

    Then there were pictures of Seo-jun, Melissa, and Barren changing clothes. Seo-jun talking with Will Ryan in front of the chroma key. And then.

    This cant be leaked. But they allowed me to take it from afar since it was Seo-juns first shoot.

    It was Seo-jun acting.

    The video that Ryan Will, the director, showed them after the shooting, saying that actors should always monitor their performance, looked different from the one that mom took from afar.

    It was amazing to see himself from a distance. Sitting on the floor, getting up, stretching his arms. It felt like someone else was inside his body and moving.

    Lee Minjun also clapped his hands, seeing Seo-jun disappearing into the chroma key with Melissas voice, which was faint but sharp. Especially Melissas acting made Lee Minjuns heart ache, who had a son.

    Melissa, the actress, shes amazing, right?

    I thought so too. I cant believe shes unknown until now.

    What about me?

    Seo-jun turned his head quickly and looked at his mom and dad, who only praised Melissa. Mom and dad opened their eyes wide and smiled brightly at their sons puffy face.

    Seo-jun did well too!

    You got an OK in one shot! You did really well!

    Seo-jun smiled and ate a ripe red strawberry.

    But when will it be released?

    They have to do more shooting and some post-production work like CG They say it will be released in late March or early April in our language.

    I have to see it in the theater.

    Lee Minjun, who was checking the schedule with anticipation of seeing his sons first movie, was poured cold water by Seo Eunhye.

    But since it was an audition and a shoot, I dont know if theyll use the scene with Seo-jun for sure.

    Seo-jun, who was eating strawberries deliciously next to him, was shocked. No, how hard did I work, how much did I suffer from not smiling all day?!

    As Phelan skimmed through the portfolio, he shook his head. No matter how he looked, he couldnt predict what kind of movie would emerge from the collaboration between Director Ryan Will and these actors.

    What about Sara Roth?

    Richard looked down at the resume that had just popped up. Phelan opened the Sara Roth folder on his FinePad.

    Another director. Sara Roth.

    She was a director who had swept the short film festival awards with her action scenes that blended beautifully with the screen and music.

    Especially, her action scenes that matched well with the music reminded people of music games.

    She was a director who was perfect for a super hero movie with thrilling action scenes. This movie was also her first feature-length commercial film.

    The actors that Sara Roth cast are quite well-known. They also have good acting skills. I wonder how her Greenwing will be.

    Greenwing.

    A character with incredibly fast speed, and one of the most popular heroes in Marinesa. Marinesa also recommended him, and Sara Roth agreed right away. They looked forward to the world of speed that she would direct.

    The two men arrived at the huge door. Phelan grabbed the door handle. The big door opened slowly and they heard a buzzing sound. A large screen installed in the center and people sitting in their seats.

    It was a preview screening of the edited movies that was held inside Marinesa.

    Richard and Phelan sat in their seats. Soon, the host came up and explained about the two movies and the two directors and went down.

    The inside of the conference room darkened. Soon, the logo of Marinesa appeared on the screen, and the faces of two super heroes looking at each other appeared on the screen.

    [Greenwing VS Shadowman]

    Well, at least the promotional slogan is decided.

    With such a confrontation, the public would surely be interested.

    Then, lets watch Shadowman by director Ryan Will.

    The applause sounded at the hosts words and the screen that Ryan had seen dozens of times appeared.

    Ryan, who was sitting in his seat, was a Marinesa employee, but he couldnt focus on his own movie that he was showing to the audience for the first time and was lost in his thoughts.

    Ryans dream was to make a hero movie. Justice that defeats the evil of the world.

    He had no one to invest in him, so he made a short film at first. It was a short film that showed social issues such as racial discrimination and income inequality bluntly.

    Then, he finally got a chance. He got an offer from Marinesa.

    [Shadowman]

    It was Ryan Wills first feature-length hero movie.

    The protagonist, Mac, was an alien child who crash-landed on Earth. The other alien who crash-landed with him died quickly and the baby who couldnt even walk grew up in an orphanage and went out to society.

    It was a cold society for an orphan, but he liked this country, this world, thanks to his friends who loved him. One day, a necklace came into Macs hand.

    The aliens invaded the Earth to find the necklace. Mac, who wore the necklace around his neck, used his power to protect the Earth. But some people went missing while Mac was fighting the aliens.

    And at that time, there was one person among the missing who was the rival of Shadowman.

    Thats William.

    Ryan Will wanted to make Shadowman a series, but it didnt go as he wanted. So he wondered whether to put this scene as a foreshadowing or not, and eventually decided to put it. Because Ryans super hero, Shadowmans enemy was only William.

    Ryan thought of a boys face. The black-haired, black-eyed boy stood with a cold expression, looking at Shadowman who wore a black mask.

    Before he made the movie, Williams face was a white man with black hair, but after he saw Juns face, he only thought of Juns grown-up face.

    I hope this movie succeeds so I can make the next movie.

    But even the rational Ryan couldnt help but be optimistic about the success of this movie.

    Uhuhuhuhu.

    Because Richard Bowen, the vice president who crossed the line between illegal and legal for the companys profit, was crying like a child who lost his mother.
