From Hollywood Child Actor to Genius Actor - Chapter 129

In Hollywood, a common career path is for a film director to become a producer and produce works through several directors.
Oliver is the one who failed this process.
‘But I was able to do it because failure also became ability.’
This means that he was successful as a director to the point where he was able to recruit investors.
How can a director who survived in the jungle-like Hollywood really guess that three billion-dollar movies are coming out?! ‘The leader is a god!’ Would you have thought like this?
It’s difficult for a failed producer to attract investors, so he’s probably thinking of building his career by working under someone, and building his network by acting as an agent for Jay Ahn.
There is no need to feel sad or disappointed. Trust can be built up in the future.
I am thankful that the child I saw when he was young willingly accepted even though he asked me to work for him.
“Master, then what should I do first?”
“I think we can stop with that religious leader’s command. “Just call me Ian.”
“Hahaha, really? “We are still a secret society.”
Ian laughed lightly at Oliver’s joke and got to the point.
“I plan to create two production companies. One is going to produce Holy Love under my name, and the other is going to be in charge of an independent film.”
“For dramas, Mr. Goldman, for movies, you’re going to gain experience through me? You are quite serious about your production work. “Is there any reason?”
Ian felt Oliver’s eyes coldly examining him.
You may be wondering if you got involved in the producer’s work because you were hoping to gain a lot of money and popularity.
This answer would affect Oliver’s behavior in the future, so he gave his answer seriously.
“To be honest, I decided to become a producer suddenly and it wasn’t something I did with a huge goal in mind.”
“okay?”
“But even if not now, I think I would have entered the producer’s field at some point. “I realized something while using the pseudonym Jay Ahn and while working on the script for this season of invisible children.”
Even though I worked as an actor for decades, I didn’t know much about it.
“As an actor, it is fun to embody the completed script through acting, but the process of preparing for production with the creators is also fun.”
Perhaps the reason I found this enjoyable was because I shared Amelia’s experience as a screenwriter.
It was a feeling I could never feel in the past, when it was difficult to concentrate on my job as an actor.
“Just because it’s fun? Is that the end?”
“In the future, when I find a good script, I plan to produce it myself without being embarrassed because I want to be cast. Producer Ian can cast actor Ian.”
“…huh?”
Well, why?
Ian, who started his career as an actor in Hollywood with the triple combo of being burnt, Asian, and homeless, knew very well that he had to take care of his own food.
Unlike in the past, even though it has achieved enormous popularity, race is still an obstacle in choosing roles in Hollywood.
“I’m thinking of doing yellow singing. Would you like to join me?”
Oliver gaped at Ian’s playful words.
There is also whitewashing, where non-white roles are played by white people, and the opposite, blackwashing. Can’t we do yellowwashing?
Political correctness and racial quota system are topics that will cause trouble in Hollywood in the future.
‘No matter what color an actor’s skin is, they just have to act well and make a good movie.’
If you act well, there won’t be any pointless controversies about washing or anything like that. I don’t know if you clap your hands and say it’s great.
“So what are you going to do? If you change your mind right now, let me know. Instead, you should sign a confidentiality agreement.”
When asked by Ian what he was going to do, Oliver shrugged his shoulders.
“So, what you’re saying is that we’re thinking about producing a production big enough for you to be cast in it.”
“…uh. “Is that so?”
“Then of course you should do it. Well then, let’s take a look at our teacher’s skills. What kind of work are you focusing on?”
First work.
As this is a work that is done under Jay Ahn’s name, it is a work that must absolutely succeed.
Ian also thought deeply and searched for works, and he ended up finding something good.
“I asked Director Isaac if there were any projects that were attracting investment, and there were some good ones. The title is Happy Homeless.”
It was really by chance that I found out that this work was being prepared for production.
“This is a story about homelessness?”
“Yes, in New York, the policy is that when it’s winter and the weather gets too cold, everyone has to be moved indoors, right? But when the homeless shelters are full, the remaining homeless people are moved to hotels.”
“okay?”
I don’t live in New York, so I probably don’t know much about it.
‘Two years later, an audit revealed that the cost of keeping thousands of homeless people in hotels was hundreds of thousands of dollars every day.’
It was said that hundreds of millions of won were spent every day on hotel fees for homeless people, so New Yorkers had reason to complain.
The homeless people in LA who were with Ian were jealous, saying, ‘Wow, these kids are crazy about winter.’
“Isn’t it better for you, director, to stay in a hotel rather than go into a shelter?”
“yes.”
“This work is about homeless people holding out while shelters are full to get into hotels.”
After hearing the explanation, Oliver made a sad face.
“It is a work that raises the topic of what the right policy is through comedy elements that take place between homeless people who fight for their wits, and stories related to shelters, New York policies, citizens, and the homeless.”
As the homeless problem in the United States becomes more serious by the day, it was natural for this film to attract attention.
“Who is the director?”
“A student who recently graduated from New York University.”
“Oh, New York University.”
New York University is considered the world’s best film department.
Isaac said he was a director who gave a special lecture and made a connection with him.
‘He became a director who made his name known through this work and immediately went on to have a successful career in Hollywood.’
He was a good director to build a relationship with through this opportunity.
“It shouldn’t be difficult to meet them since they are currently seeking investment.”
“I guess so.”
Sounds good, it attracts investment. Most people create works with the help of family or acquaintances.
“What is your goal?”
“Sundance 2017.”
The Sundance Film Festival is a film festival focusing on low-budget independent films and documentaries and is an important gateway for new directors and actors.
It was a high-profile film festival, with many large film companies paying attention to discover new talent, and it is considered a talent pool in Hollywood.
Happy Homeless was a work that received good results at Sundance.
“Sundance. Good goal. “I get invited to Sundance and sometimes move on to non-competitive sections in Berlin or Cannes.”
“Is the period appropriate?”
The pre-production period for an independent film can be as long as six months, the most expensive filming is kept as short as possible, so it can take at most two months, and the post-production period, which includes the editing process, can take anywhere from six months to a year.
Oliver weighed the time period and nodded.
Since it is September now, it was only right to submit it to Sundance, which will be held in January next year.
“If you can’t convince the director properly, it’s just a case of excitement.”
“It won’t be easy.”
Raymon Burns.
He is a director who said that he respects director Isaac the most, who stubbornly makes his own films without going to Hollywood.
As is typical for people who are confident in their abilities, he is known for being very stubborn.
“Well, I hope the name Jay Ahn works well.”
Oliver stood up and held out his hand.
“I’ll take care of you in the future.”
“It’s me.”
He lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice playfully.
“And leave the missionary work to me, leader.”
ah…
Ian remembered something he had forgotten.
‘The director was quite close to Ben.’
Ian shook his head. As someone who was close to Ben, it was strange.
***
After planning with Oliver, Ian immediately met Joshua.
Perhaps because it had been a while since we had seen each other, the man with bright white hair welcomed me with a bright smile and began his first work on producing Holy Love.
The next step is to decide which broadcasting station to broadcast it on.
-Ian, you seem to be hot these days. After hearing that you are participating in person, those arrogant people are asking to meet you first?
In order for a drama to be produced, the plan you came up with had to be selected.
Joshua, who had struggled in a relationship with a clearly defined partner, may have felt unfamiliar with being welcomed with open arms like this.
-I’ll try to negotiate first. Since there is competition, I think you can get a pretty good price per episode.
There’s no need to rush. Filming will not begin in earnest until the middle of next year.
While Joshua negotiated between broadcasters and Oliver looked into Happy Homeless, Ian focused on filming invisible children.
Sure!
Noah opened his eyes in the moonlit bed.
When I raised my upper body, my well-toned muscles and scars were fully exposed.
“Umm…Noah?”
Bianca, who was wearing thin clothes and being held in Noah’s arms, stood up rubbing her eyes.
“Shh.”
Bianca held her breath and nodded at the sharp words.
What is that unpleasant sound that prickles your ears? After thinking for a moment, Noah turned his head towards her.
An elevator came into view.
Noah rang the bell on the table next to him, and after a while, the guards who were on guard came in.
“What’s going on?”
“It looks like a rat is eating the elevator.”
“…yes?”
When asked what he meant.
Gigi Geek-
A loud bang rang out, along with an unpleasant screeching sound that pierced the ears.
The SS hurriedly forced open the elevator door and shined a light into the black darkness.
“Eh, the elevator fell!”
“…okay?”
Noah stood up and grabbed his gun.
I wouldn’t have done this for no reason. She moved her body and looked down the window. There was a commotion as if the loud sound of the elevator falling was a signal.
-It is liberation! Liberation!
-let’s fight!
Workers who came up from the sewer were seen fighting with the soldiers who were blocking them.
A distance of 15 stories high. Even on a dark night with only the moonlight and a few lights, Noah’s eyes followed exactly one person.
“Benjamin, does it end up like this?”
Noah gritted his teeth and put on his coat.
“Follow me. “I have to clean up those fearless rats.”
Noah, who was leading down the stairs, turned his head to the side and the flying ax stuck in the body of the SS guard who was following him.
Noah, covered in blood, without hesitation, pulled out the embedded ax and threw it at the person running away with a scared face.
Kwasik!
The other person’s head cracked with an unpleasant sound, killing him, and Noah looked down the stairs with cold eyes.
-Kill Noah!
-You must catch and kill him!
I could hear the rebels coming up the stairs.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
Also, the cries of uninvited guests who heard the commotion in the distance.
Noah’s eyes reflected in the camera shone cruelly. She could not feel the slightest trace of her heart, which had once been shaken by meeting her companion.
Noah, who had become a complete monster due to his betrayal, made his move.
“Cut!”
Following the director’s instructions, Ian relaxed his tired body.
As I went down the stairs, I saw Leo already finishing filming and resting.
“Oh, are you gone yet?”
“Ugh, I should be able to go home comfortably because of someone. Plus, it’s the first airing today.”
“Oh, right?”
Leo shook his head at Ian’s carefree reaction.
Most of episode 1 is about Noah, but I don’t know how he is so carefree.
“Anyway, I’ll be looking forward to it.”
“Don’t get upset even if the ratings are really good.”
“That’s disgusting.”
After saying hello to not only Leo but also other people, Ian got into the car.
Filming has already passed the halfway point, and the drama began its first broadcast in October.
When I arrived home, thinking that time was really passing by in a hurry, I saw someone leisurely waving his hand.
“Are you here?”
“Ben? “I came here for some reason.”
“I heard it was the first broadcast today, so I came to watch it and have a drink with Dylan.”
Ian nodded as his dad, Dylan, placed the beer on the table.
“Originally, I was going to invite Director Gavin as well, but he knew very well that it was your first broadcast.”
“That’s too bad. I wanted to at least film a reaction video. “I guess I should just film myself reading my autobiography in front of the director.”
“hey! That’s a good idea. Are you sure to call me too then? huh?”
“Sure.”
Ian and Ben lightly touched hands.
If you read out your autobiography where you honestly say that you are a coward, Director Gavin will shake his whole body and be happy.
“Oh, now that I think about it, what happened to the bet I made with Bella? “You won.”
“That bet?”
Not long ago, Gearco Minimals grossed over $1 billion at the box office.
Jay Ahn’s name rose higher, and Bella meekly admitted defeat. Although he said he would accept any penalty.
“Honestly, I think it’s too harsh.”
“yes?”
“I decided to just read the script and write a book report.”
“Oh, that’s generous. “How many are there?”
Ben expected about fifty.
Because Ian deserved that much homework. But this was an idea that underestimated Ian too much.
“300.”
“…uh?”
“300. It won’t take long. Plus, I made my own choices, so I’m sure I’ll be grateful later.”
…I will do my best.
Ben expressed his condolences to Bella, who must have been dizzy after receiving the list.
***
Oliver, who had gone to New York, received a phone call.
-Jay Ann, you know.
“why. “Did things not go well?”
– That’s it.
Just when I thought it wasn’t going to be easy.
A loud voice was heard.
-Master! i love you! I will follow you unconditionally.
-Well, this is what happened.
…I was told to sign a contract, and I did missionary work.
My head ached as I wondered what on earth I had done.
