CH 637 (1/2)
1st year Max Level Manager chapter 637
Offer 2
”I'm sorry, but it seems difficult.”
As soon as those words came out, silence flowed.
CEO Shin Shin-ki, who created this place,
Richard Kane, Asia general manager, who proposed a whopping $3 million for Lee Tae-poong's appearance,
Director James King, who was excited to cast Lee Tae-poong,
And next to me is Lee Tae-poong, Hollywood
CEO Jin Seong-joon, who was curious to see if he was going to the show, couldn't help but look surprised.
It is difficult for a lead role in a blockbuster Korean movie to exceed 1 billion won, because the offer of a whopping $3 million for a supporting role was rejected with a single blow.
Richard Cain, 21st Century Wolf's Asia General Manager, blinks his eyes and asks again.
”Is your young friend deaf? Listen carefully! It's not 300,000 dollars, it's 3 million dollars. In US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars!”
Since Richard Kane's main office is in Hong Kong, he even suspects that I may have been mistaken.
The exchange rate for the Hong Kong dollar is about 140 Korean won per dollar.
In other words, 3 million Hong Kong dollars was about 420 million won in Korean money.
Since zeros are missing from the US dollar, he clearly states that it is US dollars.
But I shook my head again.
”It's not about money.
Typhoon Yi is a learner who received the Grand Prize at the Hwangryong Film Festival, which is currently the best film festival in Korea. To advance into Hollywood, I have no intention of lowering the level of Typhoon Lee.”
Among the top actors, there are quite a few actors who dream of entering Hollywood.
So they used to star in Hollywood movies for a modest fee and supporting roles.
Of course I respect their choices, but at least I didn't mean to.
in the next three years.
Global content streaming service
This is because, when N.FLIX, a Korean company, realizes the power of Korean content that is eaten not only in Asia but also in the world, it starts a mega project starring Korean actors.
And when it became a huge success, two years later, Hollywood studios began to make mega-large films starring Koreans.
Before returning, Eugene was riding the boom and became a star in a Hollywood movie, so I was waiting for that moment and I was planning to send Lee Tae-poong and the leading actors I have with me to overseas countries with the best treatment.
When that time comes, Korea's top stars will soon become the world's top stars.
However, it is necessary to speak a little English.
But Richard Cain, who doesn't know the future, asks with an absurd expression.
”Aren't you going to lower your grade? Are you asking for a lead role?”
Yes. I have no intention of taking on the role of Typhoon unless it is the lead role.”
”Heh~ Hey, Mr. Jung. Aren't you mistaking something? Starring so easily to an Asian in Hollywood
Can you give me a seat? There is no other lead role for an Asian other than a Hong Kong-based kung-fu movie star! I don't know if the producers give up on the box office again.
”I know it will be difficult, too.”
”But why? If you are worried because the work is a problem, don't worry. This work is endorsed by me, Richard Cain.”
Richard Cain, who joined the company as a part-time student, wrote the legend of success at Wolf Company in the 21st century because he had a better eye for work than anyone else.
As a joke, rumors circulated that there was a success discriminator in his eyes.
But I shook my head again.
sorry. It can be difficult to get an offer to star in Hollywood, but I don't think that doesn't mean it's impossible.”
Even if N.FLIX and Hollywood studios did not advance into Asia, there was a reason why I did not accept the offer to appear in this typhoon.
Well-crafted from (Forgotten War)
This is because the producer, Richard Kane, will change the role of the Korean character 'Lieutenant Choi's' to an Asian stereotype.
Unlike Korea, where film directors are the first of its kind, in a major Hollywood film company in the United States, where huge capital is invested, a director is simply a staff employed by a studio.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for producers to draw a straight line on the screenplay and edit the script as they please.
So, in the order of production sites for major American films, the management of the film company is 1
There were also jokes that the ranking, producers and producers were ranked 2nd, star actors were 3rd, and director was only 4th.
So I could never let Lee Tae-poong take on such a role.
Because my learning is precious.
In any case, when I refused, Richard Kane stared at me and looked at CEO Shin Jong-ki with an expression of incomprehension.
”Mr. Shin. Is this a Korean-style 'mildang'?”
Nope. That doesn't seem to be it.”
Richard Kane raises his voice as if he doesn't understand.
”Then, after coming all the way here, I have to talk to the typhoon himself. Did you hear that he was also here?”
CEO Shin Jong-ki looks at me with a puzzled expression.
It is because I was completely ignoring me to ask an actor, not a manager, to contact me directly.
But I said it was okay, and I called Lee Tae-poong first.
If you firmly reject this kind of thing, it won't get any worse.
-Yes. Brother, I'll go now.
After a while.
Surrounded by bodyguards, Lee Tae-poong greeted the fans gathered at the scene and approached us.
And Lee Eun-joo, general manager, and Ko Jae-soo were also with him.
Tae-poong Lee greets Richard Kane and director James King and stands next to me.
Richard Kane to Lee Tae-poong
When I ask the same question, Lee Tae-poong looks at me instead of answering.
brother. Did you reject this?”
Huh.
”But why did you call me? Guys, if I'm hyung's opinion, you don't know that I'm doing Oh Kei, right?”
Even if he was given a whopping $3 million as a fee, Lee Tae-poong didn't even close his eyes.
”I said But I can't believe it. You want to hear it with your own mouth.”
Tae-poong Lee nodded to understand, and cut it off to Richard Kane.
say
”No!”
Hearing a strong and brief reply, Richard Kane puts a blank expression on his face for a moment.
But he asks with an expression that he doesn't quite understand.
Why?
”His opinion is my opinion! Sam sir. OK?
It's Sam
For a guy who doesn't speak English, it's a fairly appropriate choice of words.
Then, Richard Kane's face is distorted.
”If you don't want to go into Hollywood, you can't do it. I see.”
He looked like he was going to regret it, and then he quickly turned around.
”Stupid things You don't even know what a great opportunity this is...
So Richard Kane mumbles to himself and turns around.
”Garcia! I will return right away.”
”Yes!”
A Latino female secretary named Garcia, who was far away, pressed the elevator.
As Richard Kane moves vigorously, CEO Shin Jong-ki hurriedly follows after him.
”Richard! Richard!”
The three of them got on the elevator and went down.
Then, director James King, who was left alone, apologizes to Lee Tae-poong.
”I'm sorry I offended you. Mr. Tae-Pung Lee.”
Tae-poong Lee hears my interpretation and shakes his head.
Nope. Fine.
After repeatedly apologizing to Lee Tae-poong, director James King carefully asks me.
”Chief. I attended the premiere of 'Mt. Jirisan' last week, and at that time, there was a name of Director Jeong as the casting director. Is it true that Manager Jung did that?”
Yes. How did it happen?”
Director James King reveals his face
say
”Hey, I'm sorry to say something like this after being rejected by Typhoon.
Are there any actors who would suit the Korean supporting role of War's First Lieutenant? In my 30s, it would be better if I had a fairly manly appearance. I don't know Korean actors well.”
I don't know if it's the same as the original script written by James King, but there was no one who could recommend it as long as Richard Cain was the producer.
Richard Kane will change the character.
”Well, no one comes to mind right now.”
Director James King then handed out his business card.
”Then, if you have any thoughts, please give me a call.”
I also handed the business card and nodded.
All right.
”Oh, and I'll send the script to the email on my business card. Please check and contact us.”
Director James King did that twice,
After saluting three times, he followed after Richard Cain.
After a while.
CEO Shin Shin-ki, who followed Richard Kane, is back.
”I'm sorry, Director Jung. I suggested this because I was wondering if this typhoon had any intention of making a foray into Hollywood.
I made a mistake.”
Fine. Isn't that what you said to help Typhoon Yi?
”Thank you for letting me know. But is it really not going to be in Hollywood? Even if it's a supporting role, 3 million dollars is a huge amount.”
I shrugged and answered.
”Money, are you still making a lot of money? So there is no rush.”
CEO Shin Shin-ki tilts his head.
”But I mean Will it be too long for an Asian to take the lead role? Hollywood's high-spirited
There's no way humans can accept Asians as protagonists, right? To be honest, it is true that even if a lot of things have disappeared from before, racism is still there.”
no.
That's what CEO Shin Jong-ki was wrong about.
Before returning, I came to see Eugene being treated as the lead in a Hollywood movie.
Besides, before returning, in the world I saw, Asia grew into a much larger cultural market.
So, I was able to answer honestly.
coming! And when that time comes, Typhoon will become a global top star as the protagonist of a Hollywood movie.”
The moment he spoke confidently, Jae-soo Ko, who was beside him, was whispering to Tae-poong Lee.
- Typhoon, you must suffer a little. Director Jung believes in you like that, so you have to respond.
- Oh, it should be. It's Yunho hyung who made me who I am today.
-Then should I get excited too?
