From Hollywood Child Actor to Genius Actor - Chapter 128

The bet between top star Bella and Jay Ahn, who is well known in Quiver, received quite a lot of attention.
However, the response was not good.
-OMG! Three billion-dollar works are coming out in the universe this year? Who said this guy was an expert?
└Our professor is an idiot who only knows the script!
└Why should I choose Universe? Even if I had said Disney, he would have scoffed.
Universe has a history of over 100 years and has produced famous masterpieces such as sharks, aliens on bicycles, and dinosaur versions of Safari, but its glory has faded in the 21st century.
There was only one movie that entered the billion-dollar club, which is the global box office box office standard, and that was barely achieved through re-release.
When the bet was first decided, it was natural that there was an outpouring of ridicule.
Many people who praised Jay Ahn’s answer also judged that he had overdone it this time.
In April, two months after being reduced to ridicule, this atmosphere was shaken.
-Frenzy 7. World box office exceeds 1 billion dollars!
-A frantic race where filming was delayed due to an accident involving the lead actor. Universe Studios’ first billion-dollar film!
Frantic Run was in trouble even before its release.
Unlike the original story, citizens arrived at the scene of the fire before the car fire broke out, and the lead actor barely survived, but filming was impossible.
I had no idea that a work that was barely completed by combining the appearance and voice with CG would be this successful.
-…what. One billion dollars came out?
└It’s amazing that I got it right, but I was lucky. The fact that I bought it was actually due to the marketing effect.
└It was originally a famous series movie. And now one has come out, so why be surprised?
└No. That’s the movie coming out soon.
└Oh, that?
It was released in June.
The 4th series work released after a long 14 years.
-Cretaceous World grossed $80 million on the first day of release! 3rd highest opening day score of all time!
-Global revenue of $980 million in week 2! Cretaceous World’s huge success!
The movie series, which few people are familiar with, was a huge success upon its release and quickly earned over $1 billion in profits.
As a result, it recorded a crazy record of being the 3rd highest box office hit of all time worldwide.
The place where the loudest congratulations were made was Universe. A billion-dollar movie was released in succession in just two months.
Naturally, the name for Jay An had to come from Quiver.
-omgggggg! Two already?! Professor, we suspected you!
└Universe officials also brought up Jay Ahn in the interview. I don’t know who it is, but it’s amazing.
└After all, experts are different, right? Who would have thought that two billion dollar movies would come out this year?
└I’m curious who he really is. It’s also amazing how they got it right.
While there are people who praise Jay Ahn, there are also people who view him crookedly.
-Honestly, I think I can guess those two. It was originally a series of movies that did well.
└The mad dash was a bit surprising, but the Cretaceous period certainly deserved such results.
└You promised three things. What movie could make $1 billion next?
└Tsk tsk, I don’t know why I sang 3 songs when I could have just done 2. I will regret it so much by now.
2015 was a year in which American movies achieved tremendous box office success, but the success of Universe stood out.
However, the remaining films scheduled for release were uneventful. At most, there are only spin-off works of famous animations left.
It’s amazing that you got 2 correct. No, there were three bets, so if you lose, you lose.
When it was divided into two and struggling, a work that I didn’t expect much of was released.
-Minimals, box office success in pre-release regions.
-Jackpot with expansion of minimalist releases featuring cute characters! #1 in overseas box office!
If you look at overseas box office trends, you can roughly estimate how much profit you will make.
As predictions emerged that the billion-dollar animation that was successful only at Disney could be minimalist, reporters began paying attention to Jay Ahn.
The existence that was like a typhoon in a teacup became known to the outside world through an article.
-Master! Let me know which one will be successful next time!
Ian, who became the leader of Quiver rather than a professor, sighed deeply.
“Master!”
“What should I include in my next project?”
Because Ben and Damian were teasing with smiling faces.
To the two who asked them to choose a work half jokingly and half seriously, Ian happily gave the correct answer.
“We just need to film a sequel to the buddy film the two of us filmed together. “It will definitely succeed.”
“…Is there anything else besides that?”
“no. “If the three of us, including the peacock, take pictures, it will be even better next time.”
“It’s worth it if we include ourselves. Do you want to join me? “You already got an offer.”
“I will not! “Are you crazy?”
Ben, who pushed Damian away in disgust, stopped teasing him and asked Ian.
“So this animation will be worth over a billion dollars?”
“It will work out.”
To be honest, Minimals is a movie made to make a profit by throwing away its artistic quality and focusing only on cute yellow characters.
‘But box office success does not necessarily follow the quality of the work.’
It is not unusual for entertainment movies to do better at the box office than works that are praised as masterpieces.
I just didn’t know that everyone would succeed this much.
Ben said in amazement at Ian’s answer.
“But how did you get it right?”
“Just a feeling. “Two were worthy of success.”
What can we do about persimmons? Ben, who knows well that I have a good eye for original work, changed the story.
“What should we do now? “This matter is getting a lot more attention than you think.”
“that’s right. “People in the industry were looking up who Jay Ahn was.”
It achieved box office results that even Universe, which was involved, was unsure about. It is not something to approach simply out of curiosity.
It needs to be verified whether it was a coincidence or if he really had the eyes to see, but if it is the latter, he was a talented person worth drooling over.
“Besides, no one contacted me other than the directors.”
“Of course you don’t know.”
The closer people were to Ian, the easier the quiz was.
A villain who recommends a lot of scripts? If it’s not Ian, who else could it be? Audrey was Baby Ian, so she didn’t have that much skill.
However, it was difficult for others to think that Ian, who was only a high school student, would be knowledgeable enough to recommend scripts from various countries and capable enough to make them successful.
“Honestly, I wonder why we can’t get this right.”
“First of all, they thought J was the first letter or middle name and were looking for German-Americans. “Some are looking for Chinese people.”
There are quite a few people in the United States who use Ahn as their last name, but most of them are of German descent. The surname An was also common in China. They say it’s a last name that over a million people have.
“It’s a complete nonsense.”
“yes?”
I just thought it was pathetic when people who knew the answer looked at it.
“So are you going to reveal that it’s you?”
“well.”
If you reveal it, you can become an issue and receive a lot of attention. You can also build connections with industry insiders who come out of curiosity.
It’s definitely a good thing.
“I’m just going to reveal as little as possible.”
“why?”
Damian looked like he couldn’t understand.
As someone who likes to show off like a peacock, this decision was incomprehensible. But Ian didn’t give up that advantage for nothing.
“If I reveal it now, it will be a headache. It’s now been four months since she announced that she was focusing on her career as an actress rather than a singer. “We’ve finally calmed down, but you want to add another big issue here?”
It’s soothing. It’s not that the issue has disappeared.
On social media, there was still a tangle of Rai fans asking for Rai to come back, Jasper fans asking why he made someone else’s singer into a bad guy, and even anti-fans saying Jasper was a bad guy.
‘And you want me to reveal that you’re a cult leader?’
I am already afraid of how it will deteriorate.
Didn’t we already get a glimpse of the internet madness with the baby angel dropkick composite photo?
“It is not too late to reveal the truth after the issue has calmed down.”
“It’s a shame. “It would be a waste to just let it go.”
That’s also true. It’s a shame to waste the value of Jay Ahn’s name like this.
“Who said we would just throw it away? All you have to do is not disclose it to the outside world and use the value of Jay’s name.”
Ian picked up his cell phone.
***
Six years was a long time.
A boy who handed out corn dogs to beggars became a famous star, and a successful director became a failed producer.
“It’s been a while since we last met in person, right?”
“Iknow, right. “Director.”
Ian greeted the man he met warmly.
It was Oliver, the director of the movie Sucker Punch, who had a relationship with Ben.
‘I guess things are not going well.’
Going from a director to a producer is something that many people aspire to, but it is not something that can be achieved easily.
Oliver, who had a slightly haggard complexion, spoke with a consciously cheerful smile.
“Did you call me because of the Holy Love producer job?”
“There is that too.”
Oliver looked at Ian’s gaze and nodded.
“It’s okay to say it without feeling too pressured. Because I already heard about the situation. “I heard the producer you became friends with while working on a project together asked you to join us, right?”
“Yes, Joshua Goldman was the producer of Beverly Hills Moms, which I worked on.”
“I see. “Then it makes sense to leave it to him.”
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t disappointed.
Holy Love was different from other dramas from the start. The original work is famous for being a brother and sister writer, and the lead role is Ian, who even ranked first on the Billboard.
It was something that broadcasters were drooling over. It was the same for other producers.
‘I can’t help it. Because it wasn’t a long relationship.’
The reason Ian was able to be cast in Invisible Children was because of the video Oliver took at the filming site, but even mentioning that may cause him to lose some of his goodwill.
He quickly let go of his regrets.
“Anyway, thank you. “I know you must be busy, but please meet me in person and talk to me.”
“Oh, are you going?”
Oliver, who was about to get up, stopped at Ian’s words.
“why? “Is there anything else you want to say?”
“There is.”
“What?”
“You are interested in becoming a producer, right?”
“of course.”
I kept worrying about whether I should stop being greedy and work as a director again, but I couldn’t easily let go of my regrets.
Because it was only one failure.
Ian nodded and said.
“Actually, there are a few works I want to invest in. “But it’s a bit difficult for me to move around, so I need someone to act as my agent.”
“okay? “What is the scale of the work?”
“small. “It’s at the level of an art film.”
Even though it is an art film, it does not cost a small amount of money, but it is enough for Ian to invest if he wants to.
If there’s a problem.
“It’s not like they just give you money. “Seeing as you mentioned being a producer, I guess you want to get involved in the work, right?”
“Yes.”
Ian thought about the work he had written down.
At least these are works that are successful enough that you don’t have to worry about recovering your investment.
‘I don’t know what changes may have occurred.’
As changes occur in the entertainment industry, the content of the work may also change, and there is no guarantee that it will be positive.
Even if there is no change, there is a need to give advice to help the work become better.
“Then it won’t be easy. Are there just one or two stubborn people there? “If you are close to Director Isaac, you know this well.”
“Yes, of course. “If you say you want to intervene in a work, you will start by drawing a line.”
“I don’t know if I have a high name value. Not that either. “They probably won’t want to receive investment.”
Although Oliver is a decent director, he has not shown any results as a producer.
Considering that most directors in Hollywood are merely in charge of filming, there was a high possibility that they would reject it right away.
“Then, when expressing your opinion, how about putting someone named Jay Ahn at the forefront?”
“Jay? who.”
“You know what. “He is a noisy person in entertainment news these days.”
“Oh, that person!”
An amazing person who has achieved the success of Universe. There was a lot of buzz about interesting topics such as prophets and cult leaders.
“If it were him, there would be people who would be interested. Of course, this means that it is easy to enter into investment negotiations, but receiving it is a different story.”
“If the story we shared is good, we will receive investment.”
“I guess so. Because that’s what the name is worth.”
But the premise of this conversation was flawed from the beginning.
Because there is no Jayan that other people are looking for like that. Oliver thought for a moment and frowned.
“Why do you tell me I’m Jay An? “Then I won’t do it.”
“Who would do that? “That’s because Jay Ahn will participate.”
“…really? “You weren’t fooled by a fake?”
“That’s true.”
Oliver’s eyes widened.
You know who Jay Ahn is that people are looking for?
“who?!”
“Shh. This is still a secret. “Okay?”
“then!”
After receiving the confirmation, Ian held out his cell phone.
“sleep.”
“huh?”
The screen I looked at, wondering if they had taken a picture of the number, was the Quiver site.
I wondered why they showed me this.
“Look at the ID there.”
id?
Oliver turned his head and froze for a moment.
J Ahn.
The name was clear and I checked the posts with trembling hands.
An old post full of script recommendations and even details of a bet with Bella. Jay Ahn’s account was actually correct.
“braided! Jay Ahn was Ian Price.”
“100 million…”
Oliver, with wide eyes, was silent for a while and then politely returned the phone.
“…Please take care of me, Master.”
There was one believer.
