Choi Dae-man, who wandered all over the country, was away with the latest news.
“The movie where he acted is a Marine’s movie. Besides, he is good at acting, so he is also a hot topic in Korea and the United States. Most Hollywood films with child actors would have already sent their script to the child actor.”
“Marine? Uh, Hollywood?”
“Yes, the 100 billion-dollar Marine Production house and the 100 million-plus-budget Hollywood film that they usually call a low-budget film.”
Choi Dae-man had a question. How good was the child actor for the casting manager to say that?
The casting manager, who was smoothing his chin, opened his mouth.
“Let’s take a look at him now. Director.”
“Do you know who he is?”
“You’ll know when you see him.”
At the urging of the casting manager, Director Choi left the conference room and headed towards the nearest movie theater.
Director Choi Dae-man stepped into the movie theater.
It’s been a month since it was released. Green Wing’s audience were getting smaller, but Shadowman still had a lot of people.
They bought tickets for the Shadowman movie and looked around.
Everyone was either holding a box tissue in one hand or a handkerchief.
Tissue?
Handkerchief?
Also, there were many people holding cameras.
“Hello, viewers. It’s already my 10th challenge as of today. I heard that a person in the next room succeeded in his 15th try one! I’ll try to break that record!”
“Challenge no.5! Here we go!”
Other visitors didn’t even seem to care about those people.
They were even talking about whether they would a succeed or a fail.
“What the hell is happening……?”
What the hell happened while he was wandering the countryside.
“The Shadowman movie, Hall 4, will begin shortly! If you bought a ticket, please fall in line before entering.” It was the voice of the movie theater staff who helped Choi Dae-man clear his head from confusion.
Facing the crowd, only his most complicated expression appeared.
“Yes My dear viewers. We’re about to begin. Sorry for this late live. I’ve been in China for a month, but when it was released in China, I couldn’t understand anything so I decided to not watch it until I return to korea. So guys, this would be my first time watching Shadowman.”
Some even did live broadcasts, but no one seemed to care.
Why so?
Choi Dae-man held back his sigh and sat down in the chair.
While watching the movie, he was worried that the lights on the camera would disturb him, but contrary to Choi Dae-man’s worries, when the lights inside the movie went out, everyone turned off all the lights from their camera as if they had promised to do so. Those who were chatting earlier also shut up.
The sudden silence gave him goosebumps.
‘Come to think of it…….’
They were all holding cameras, smartphones, and tissues, but the most important thing to carry when watching a movie wasn’t present.
Popcorn and soda were essentials as the modern Koreans says in the internet, “I went to watch movies in order to eat popcorn,” but there was no popcorn in their hands.
Also no Drinks, nachos, and grilled squid butter that smelled strong.
‘What the hell happened in a month?!’
He got goosebumps from his back.
No matter what great movie it is, there is not a single one who held food among the audience!
Choi Dae-man wanted to yell at the sight, but Marine’s signature came out from the dark screen.
Mac is an orphan, but he met good people and lives happily.
One day, he finds a bloodstained necklace in a corner while delivering pizza using his ability to move through the shadows, a skill that he kept secret about even from his precious acquaintances.
As soon as Mac’s hand touched the necklace, a signal-light rose into the sky.
Narta, the planet that received the signal of from the traitor, launches a battleship in order to eliminate the traitor.
And to stop Narta, Mac uses his ability to control the shadows.
Like a counterattack against Mac, Narta created wormhole around the world. The other side of the wormhole was also unknown by Narta.
People all over the world have been sucked into the wormhole.
Television around the world sent emergency news to evacuate.
However, it could not alert the people about where would the next wormholes would occur as it would happen in an instant, absorbing anything to its way and disappearing immediately without any trace left.
Mac, the Shadowman, defeated the Narta warship but could not stop people from becoming victims.
Shadowman lowered his head at the sight of the woman crying, wearing his mask and unable to make a sound.
Flashing!
The light inside the movie theater turned on. The breathtaking silence was lifted for a moment.
The movie theater became noisy.
“Oh, it’s a failure again. But in a little while, I’ll try for the eleventh try!”
“Hahahaha! I cried! I cried, everyone! William…….Hahaha!”
“Shadowman’s screening is over. Anyone who needs tissue is ready in front of you!”
It was a ridiculous situation, but Choi Dae-man could not focus his attention towards them. This was because tears were dripping from his eyes.
William, who was smiling, disappeared into the wormhole.
He got goosebumps.
It was just a smiling face, but he didn’t expect it to hurt like this.
He really got goosebumps this time.
This level of acting reminded him of what the casting manager said.
‘I’m sure many directors from Hollywood wants to hire him as an actor.’
While crying, Choi Dae-man nodded his head. If this is the case, he must cast him to his film, even if he begged with his knees while holding his feet.
Choi Dae-man, who came out from the movie theater, searched who was the Shadowman cast that portrayed William on his cell phone. Everyone must have searched it, because it was on the automatic search keyword.
[Shadowman William]
[Shadowman William Child actor]
[Shadowman William Lee Seojun]
He read a familiar name.
Lee Seojun.
For a moment, he remembered the cute baby from 4 years ago like a thunderbolt.
“Lee Seojun? Lee Seojun!?”
Choi Dae-man’s finger pressed the search button.
He was now reading his information window.
The most famous person of the same name that he knows appeared in the same information window with the same child smiling brightly.
He’s definitely bigger than the last that when he saw him, but his clear features was still his bright eyes.
“It’s really Seojun!”
It was Lee Seojun, the same baby he shot in the advertisement for Elephant powdered milk.
He got goosebumps.
He thought he was a genius, but he never thought he would become a big time actor the next time that he saw him.
He didn’t expect him to become famous to the point he had gone in the U.S. and appear in a Marine’s movie.
“He is a genius.”
Choi Dae-man went into a nearby cafe and ordered an iced Americano and sat down.
He started surfing the Internet about Shadowman and Lee Seojun.
During the month that he was traveling around the country, many articles about [Brown Black and Jun’s 48 Hours] and [Shadowman] as well as the Elephant Milk powder commercial, were made.
WNET was re-runing the show with a more catchy title “Hollywood child actor Lee Seojun’s 48 Hours!”.
There were also a lot of articles that could click bait readers such as “The Youngest Korean Hollywood Child Actor!” and “The Korean child actor chosen by Marine Corporation.”
If a person becomes famous, malicious comments arises as some trolls were saying, “Even so, it’s only an extra,” but there were also many comments saying it was still an amazing feet.
Choi Dae-man, who was eagerly reading down the screen, received a call.
“Oh, it’s been a while. Team leader Kang Sora.”
The recipient was Kang So-ra, the team leader of Elephant Milk powder.
