I am a Genius Film Director - Chapter 246

Episode 246

A few days later.

Bender Motion Picture Academy.

“Thank you for coming here.”

Bender said as he looked at Gyeong Chan-hyeon, who looked like he couldn’t understand why he had called him.

“The reason you called me… … .”

“How about we talk about it a little more slowly? “I have some questions.”

Gyeong Chan-hyeon glanced at his watch, nodded and said.

“Of course.”

“Thank you. “I apologize for being too emotional before.”

“it’s okay.”

Gyeong Chan-hyeon’s soft voice.

Bender felt embarrassed for no reason at the voice that seemed like he had no thoughts.

“How is the movie going? There are a lot of rumors going around. Was the title < Emted Body>?”

Although I had already heard it dozens of times and knew it in detail.

Bender asked about < Emted Body> as if he was not interested.

“yes. “It will be a good movie.”

Bender smiled awkwardly at Kyung Chan-hyeon’s short answer.

“It was a zombie movie, right?”

“yes.”

“Why did you make that choice?”

“I want to clearly show you what kind of person I can show.”

“Aren’t you trying to erase the status I created?”

Gyeong Chan-hyeon said nothing in response to the vendor’s question.

Then Bender chuckled and shook his head.

‘I’m not the kind of person you can communicate with just by talking casually.’

The vendor’s goal is to slowly learn about Gyeongchan-hyeon.

Since I only had superficial information at the moment, I couldn’t know exactly who this person was.

Except that he is just a person who is crazy about movies.

“That’s it. okay. “I think something happened to Eugene Carey recently.”

“yes?”

Gyeong Chan-hyeon’s eyes wavered slightly at Bender’s question.

“Recently, we’ve been hearing some strange stories.”

I wanted to show some condescension to Kyung Chan-hyeon, but even so, it would be ugly to show it openly.

Bender pretended to think about this for a moment and continued speaking.

“Something was told to us about Eugene Carey.”

“… … .”

“Don’t worry, I don’t intend to ask you anything under the pretext of doing so.”

Gyeong Chan-hyeon looked at Bender with a bit of surprise.

“What has happened to you so far. Because everyone knows. “Weren’t there attempts to ruin your movie by finding fault with strange things?”

Constant efforts to ruthlessly disparage Gyeong Chan-hyeon.

Everyone knew about the attempts by talented producers and directors in Hollywood to undermine him.

This is what Smith Bender also experienced when he first set foot in Hollywood.

Also, Gyeong Chan-hyeon is Asian.

I thought that perhaps it could not be compared to the pain I had experienced.

“what… … Yes.”

“… … ?”

In response to Gyeong Chan-hyeon’s answer, Bender asked back with a puzzled expression.

“Those things are simply said… … .”

“yes?”

“So, uh… … There are things that have happened to you. hmm… … Something like that… … .”

“Isn’t that the way the world is? “If something different appears, they try to trample it.”

“… … .”

When Gyeong Chan-hyeon spoke in a very calm tone, Bender smiled.

“But since you don’t do that, Mr. Bender, you are definitely different from other humans.”

“Because I’ve been through that a lot too.”

So I didn’t try anything new.

The more you try something new, the stronger the criticism becomes, and the harsher the criticism becomes.

It is natural for an ordinary person to feel intimidated by criticism.

Also, the natural order is to come to terms with reality in response to criticism.

But Gyeong Chan-hyeon was different.

‘Is he confident about the movie he made? … .’

Seeing his envious appearance, Bender began to feel infinitely ashamed of himself for being harsh to Kyung Chan-hyeon a few weeks ago.

“I’m jealous. That kind of attitude.”

Gyeong Chan-hyeon looked at Bender with an expression that he still didn’t understand.

“But why are you suddenly so nice to me?”

Bender smiled bitterly at Gyeong Chan-hyeon’s question.

“I hope I’m wrong.”

“yes?”

“I hope you are right and I am wrong. “Your pledge to save the movie version.”

Maybe Kyung Chan-hyeon is right.

In this version of the film, rather than compromising with the audience and focusing only on what the audience wants to show, it is right to push ahead with one’s own beliefs and make a movie that the audience wants to see.

Bender, who thought about believing in Gyeong Chan-hyeon’s beliefs for once, looked at Gyeong Chan-hyeon with a happy smile.

“So I’m waiting for your movie to hit me hard.”

“… … .”

At his unexpected words, Gyeong Chan-hyeon remained silent for a moment and looked at Bender.

“So, this movie. I hope you succeed. I hope you succeed somehow and prove me wrong to the world. If only that happened… … “Just as you think, I will join you in reviving the movie version.”

At Bender’s words, Gyeong Chan-hyeon blinked and said nothing for a moment.

“Is my suggestion not good?”

“Oh, no. President. If you join us… … “I am truly grateful.”

“Yeah, that’s a relief.”

After exchanging a few more words, Kyung Chan-hyeon quickly left due to other schedules.

Bender looked outside through the window after Kyung Chan-hyeon left.

Upon hearing the news that he had arrived, students came quickly and waited in front of the building to see his face.

‘Has there ever been a director like that? … .’

The film students screamed like crazy as soon as Kyung Chan-hyeon came into view.

“Gyeong Chan-hyeon! Gyeongchan-hyeon!”

“Please come to our school for a special lecture!”

“I also really enjoyed watching Korean movies!”

“Director, please take a look here!”

When his name, which may be difficult for Americans to hear due to how much he had practiced, rang out, Bender smiled bitterly.

“Still, it’s better to admit what you have to admit. That director is my only hope. okay. Then he must help somehow.”

I’ve already watched all of Kyung Chan-hyeon’s movies.

There were no limitations to the film except that it was made in Korean.

The only reason it didn’t work well in the US was that it couldn’t overcome the subtitle barrier.

Other than that it was perfect.

‘It is certain that < Emted Body> will write a new history in the world of zombie movies… … .’

Bender now felt like it was a given that Kyung Chan-hyeon’s film would be successful.

What was important to him was what to do after the film was successful.

“Saving the film industry… … .”

Making a lot of good movies.

But this was something ordinary people couldn’t do.

From good directors, good writers, and good actors to production crew.

Since it was impossible to do with just one person, it was probably impossible for Gyeong Chan-hyeon to succeed even if he struggled like that alone.

“still… … .”

What if you could help Kyung Chan-hyeon and change the ecology of the movie industry?

This question reminded me of myself when I was younger.

It reminds me of the image of me compromising with the world and rationalizing myself by saying I had no choice.

Bender looked lonely at Gyeong Chan-hyeon leaving the school he had built.

***

A few weeks later.

When all filming was over, Eugene Carey left the filming site where the production crew was busy with a happy expression and headed to his trailer.

“really… … .”

At the time of casting, maybe I was wearing clothes that didn’t suit me.

Perhaps because of that pressure, excitement and regret enveloped him when the last filming ended.

‘I think I can do a little better if I go back… … .’

The first feeling I felt as a movie actor.

Until now, when I filmed a movie, I didn’t feel anything after filming because I thought I had just created a product, but this film was especially different.

However, Eugene Carey smiled brightly at the thought that the great experience from this filming would also be of great help in his acting career.

‘Let’s not be ashamed of the things that made us who we are.’

After this filming is over, I have already finished talking with the company with the intention of appearing again in comedy films that I have not signed a contract with.

Therefore, he relieved the burden on his mind and sat down on the sofa for a moment and closed his eyes.

Thump thump-.

“Mr. Carrie!”

When she heard Glenn’s voice coming from outside the trailer along with a knock on the door, Carrie opened the door with a smile on her face.

“Glen?”

“haha! Isn’t this rude… … ?”

When Glenn spoke in an unusually bright voice, Carrie laughed and shook her head.

“Would you like to come in for a moment?”

“may I… … ?”

“of course.”

“haha… … Coming here was on my bucket list… … .”

Smiling innocently, Glenn looked around every corner of the trailer.

“and… … Is there even a shower room? oh my god… … “The bed is really nice too!”

Carrie looked at Glenn, who was looking around like a country mouse looking at a newspaper, as if he was cute.

Then, since we had become close friends, I spoke to Glenn to ask how he was doing.

“So this is your first film as a lead role?”

“haha… … Yes? I don’t know how people will react… … .”

Contrary to the bright greeting, Carrie lightly tapped Glenn on the shoulder, looking at him with a slurred voice.

“Don’t worry too much. You don’t have to worry that your acting won’t suit people’s tastes. “If it suits Director Kyung’s taste, it will definitely be delicious for someone.”

“that… … “I guess so?”

“okay. So, put away your unnecessary worries.”

Glenn chuckled at Carrie’s words and looked at Carrie.

“How amazing. “During her first shoot, I never thought I’d hear something like this from Carrie.”

“It’s interesting… … .”

Still quite young.

There are many things Glenn will face in the future.

Because I was in charge of director Kyung Chan-hyun’s work, the filming was smooth, but I was even more nervous when I thought about the problems I would encounter at other filming locations.

“Prepare for what lies ahead. “You can’t survive here if you work hard.”

“yes… … ?”

Glenn asks with an innocent expression as if he doesn’t know anything.

Carrie was about to say something when she saw that.

‘I’m worrying about unnecessary things.’

Carrie chuckled and shook her head, thinking that an actor of Glenn’s caliber could definitely achieve some level of success.

“No, no. it’s okay. You will definitely succeed. “I can’t believe he’s a new actor.”

“haha… … What am I… … Mr. Carrie… … .”

“You are still young. Now my world is rushing toward the end, but your world is just at the beginning.”

“no way… … Mr. Carrie still has a while to go. You’re not even a veteran actor… … .”

As Glenn spoke, he snapped his fingers as if he realized something.

“ah! This isn’t important right now… … .”

“huh?”

“Director Kyung Chan-hyeon asked me to take a photo to include at the end of the making film.”

“picture… … ?”

“yes! “A photo!”

Glenn grabbed Carrie’s arm and pulled her out of the trailer.

“Go quickly! “Everyone is waiting!”

As Carrie and Glenn ran, the production crew and actors all shouted as if they had been waiting.

“It’s finally here. Glenn! “Why did Carrie protest by saying she wouldn’t come!?”

“Mr. Carrie, I’ve been waiting for a long time!”

Carrie said with a sly smile in response to the production crew’s playful complaints.

“Because the main character usually appears late.”

At those words, the production crew laughed and made Carrie’s place.

“ruler… … “I’m taking a picture~!”

Kyung Chan-hyeon set the camera timer and came next to Carrie.

“I have to make the director shine again.”

“yes?”

When Kyung Chan-hyeon asked, Carrie said with the funny expression that made her famous.

“Don’t look at me, look at the camera.”

Eugene Carey frowns heavily.

But I no longer felt sick of that expression.

On the contrary, that expression made me feel grateful.
