The Genius Actor Acts in this Life too - Chapter 141

The genius actor is also acting this time, Episode 141
For the first time in a year, the name of the caller appeared, and since I had never expected it to be the person calling, the person who surprised me just by the fact that the call came was Producer Choi Hyun-soo.
However, what surprised me was not only the phone call that PD Choi Hyun-soo made, but also the content of the phone call.
-Would you like me to be the stage OB for the Rookie Award candidates?
-Yes, actor.
This year, the tvM Drama Awards will be held as usual.
However, there was one thing that made this awards ceremony different from previous ones: the timing of the event.
The tvM Drama Awards, which had been held in early November for the three years since the first awards ceremony was held, changed its holding period to the end of November from this year.
Of course, the ‘Rookie Award Candidates’ Stage’, a program exclusive to the tvM Drama Awards, remained the same.
And the OB program that was introduced for the first time last year, when I participated in the stage of the Rookie of the Year Award candidates, was also carried over, PD Choi Hyun-soo explained.
He added that he would like me to take charge of the OB.
Ask me to take charge of OB… … .
I looked embarrassed for a moment.
Of course, if it had been Ian Palin’s time, it was an offer I would have accepted without looking back.
However, I thought that Seo Yi-an might be in a bit of trouble right now.
-PD, I really appreciate your suggestion, but… … Wouldn’t it be unreasonable for me to take charge of OB?
Seo Yi-an’s stage acting in his current filmography was insufficient to take on the role of OB.
Of course, this is limited to the conditions shown.
It was like that in the past, but now we live in an era where visible conditions are also important.
If I took over as OB, there was a high possibility that there would be backlash from the Rookie Award candidates.
It is a completely different situation from when an actor with the same age and experience as Lee Ji-hee or Han Seong-ho takes on the role of OB.
Moreover, I won the Rookie Award at the tvM Drama Awards last year, and if such an actor takes on the role of OB, there will be a negative reaction not only from the Rookie Award candidates but also from the general public.
… … But PD Choi Hyun-soo wouldn’t have expected these things.
How on earth did I get an OB offer?
It was a time when such doubts arose.
-Actually, we got voted on this time.
-Voting… … ?
-yes. Our director said that we should do the right thing by starting the OB system.
The director that PD Choi Hyun-soo is talking about is the director of the tvM entertainment department.
The fact that the director of the entertainment department said to do it properly… Broadcasting would mean that there are a number of cases worth covering in an entertainment sense.
-So I got votes from viewers. The only requirement is actors with stage experience, and viewers are asked to recommend actors they would like to see as OBs.
So, is it true that I am one of the two actors most recommended by viewers right now?
-Do you know the video that Thunderman released a while ago after Cheongnak ended?
iced coffee… … .
Even though I was on the phone, I nodded and answered.
-Yes, I know.
So, it was after the end of .
Hee-chan Jeong came to visit with a Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino with added Java Chip and Whipped options.
-Seobae.
This is what Jeong Hee-chan said with a serious voice and serious expression as he pushed the Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino he had brought towards me.
-Let’s unravel the mask mask video.
The idea was to release a video of the ‘Masked Mask’ part of the performance of .
And I was not the only person who was masked by Jeong Hee-chan.
-Isn’t this really ridiculous? This is pretty much Destiny. How could the masks of our Thunder Man appear in the same drama? And this is such a huge hit!
Me and Shin Jae-shin. The idea was to unravel the video of the two masked men.
– Our performance has been in a revolving door since we were seniors, right? But we asked the audience to please us.
is a children’s musical.
In other words, it was a performance for a child audience.
However, as Jeong Hee-chan said, at some point (Jeong Hee-chan says it was because of me…) the proportion of adult audiences began to gradually increase. Not a guardian of a child.
The number of audiences watching the same performance not just once but multiple times has increased.
So asked the adult audience.
Since this performance is strictly for children, we ask for your understanding and ask that you refrain from repeat viewings.
-You know what I heard about Seobaedo, right? At that time, it started to become popular for aunts and uncles to show off their nieces and nephews. Suddenly, there were many cases where relatives or acquaintances I had no contact with called and said they would show me Thunder Man and asked me to go see it. That was all because of the notice at the time that adult audiences were asked to refrain from attending.
You know what I heard.
From what you said.
-Anyway, that kind of atmosphere continued even during Jaeshin’s time. I can’t say I’m as enthusiastic as I was when I was a senior… We were very worried about the mask mask that would come after Seobae. Of course, comparisons are inevitable. But even if Jae-shin’s mask didn’t live up to expectations, at least it didn’t disappoint.
I silently listened to Jeong Hee-chan’s excited story.
I had just concluded with Kwon Jae-young that Jeong Hee-chan was a memory seller, or rather, a memory recollection specialist.
They say this will make Jeong Hee-chan happy, but how difficult is it to just listen quietly?
As expected, Jeong Hee-chan’s reminiscences continued after that.
– Even when you were a masked person, how many times did you get inquiries asking if you could at least make a DVD and sell it? But this time, Seobae and Jae-shin, who were the masked characters of Thunder Man, appeared in the same drama and the drama became a huge hit, so what could have happened? The production company here was in complete chaos.
And finally.
-Of course, we filmed it with you and Jae-shin, but the quality isn’t good enough to be included on DVD. But the audience wants too much… So, after putting our heads together and thinking about it with CEO Kim, we decided to create the Thunder Man YouTube channel.
Jeong Hee-chan’s main point appeared.
-If you created a YouTube channel, wouldn’t you have to upload a video?
-yes.
-As the long-awaited first video, I thought it would be a good idea to upload the masked version of you, Seobae.
Hee-chan Jeong said that he plans to upload not only mine but also Shin Jae-shin’s masked performance.
He said he contacted me first because getting my permission was a priority.
-And not only did you act like a masked person, but when you filmed ‘Abyss’ and ‘ㅅㅇㅅㅇ’ before, you filmed it at a concert hall, right? I thought, how about editing that and a video I shot separately and uploading it? Of course, as long as you say okay.
and.
-Actually, I contacted CEO Han first.
Jung Hee-chan sounded quite cautious, saying, “I am no longer a free person, but a member of an agency. This is a public matter and there will be contractual issues involved.”
So, in short, he said he was sorry for contacting the agency before me.
Sometimes, Jeong Hee-chan thought too much.
You are taking the obvious too hard.
I asked after taking a sip of my Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino.
-good job.
-… … Oh, really?
-uh. So what does the CEO say?
Considering that Jeong Hee-chan came to see me now, I fully expected what kind of answer Han Ju-hee would give.
-As long as you say you like it, it’s okay. The company said they would check first before uploading the video.
-okay.
-huh?
-It’s not difficult.
That’s how ‘Masked Mask’, which I played, was revealed to the world.
After that, I received a call from Jeong Hee-chan, who had a very excited voice, telling me that it had reached 1 million views within half a day of uploading the video and that it had ranked first in Ingeup-dong.
The video that PD Choi Hyun-soo talked about meant exactly this.
-The actor’s performance in ‘Masked Mask’ was very good, but there were many who said that the attitude toward the actor’s stage acting shown in that video was very impressive. Most of the viewers who recommended the actor said that.
So, PD Choi Hyun-soo said, “Don’t say that it’s unreasonable or that you’re not qualified just because you only did one stage acting, .
is it.
Even though I have multiple film credits and a short career path, is it still recognized?
Of course, people don’t know about my real career and filmography, but I’m full of it.
Then I suddenly remembered that there were two people I knew very well who were nominated for the Rookie of the Year Award at this year’s tvM Drama Awards.
… It might be fun, right?
-Then can I ask who the other OB candidates are besides me?
-You are actor Cha Ji-hak.
Another OB is Chajihak?
no. PD, you should have brought that up first.
Come to think of it, Cha Ji-hak was called a theater idol.
This sounds really fun, right?
I answered that I would go straight to the OB without any further delay.
Then, I felt a look of confusion on the other side of the phone.
… … Why?
I was puzzled for a moment.
I was able to quickly hear the reason from producer Choi Hyun-soo.
-I contacted actor Cha Ji-hak first before contacting the actor.
The voice was somehow mixed with laughter.
-Actor Cha Ji-hak also declined to coach someone at first because he felt it was burdensome, but as soon as he heard that the other OB candidate was actor Seo Yi-an, he immediately agreed to do it.
… … ah.
I understand why there was a smile in your voice.
* * *
And now.
“Actor Cha Ji-hak will be in charge of Team A, and actor Seo Yi-an will be in charge of Team B.”
Producer Hyunsoo Choi handed a file to me and Cha Jihak each.
The first thing I saw when I opened the file was the list of Team B for the ‘Rookie Award Candidates’ Stage’ and brief profiles of the team members.
There was one very familiar name there.
It was then.
The cell phone that was on silent mode started blinking.
[I arrived]
A photo of a shopping bag full of candy from Fortnum Store was attached along with a brief message.
Naturally, the sender of the message was Shin Jae-shin.
I grinned and sent a reply.
[From now on, treat me with respect as your teacher.]
