Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 194

194 Is it really necessary to go? (2)

2022.05.13.

That’s right.

Yeonwoo nodded.

[He’s so genuine, so real. He even uploaded a live broadcast on YouTube.]

The news that Dong Ja-ryeong brought the next day was also refreshing.

[Wow… he’s crying, he’s crying.]

It was then that Yeonwoo was able to see Trevi’s face in detail for the first time.

He had been curious, but he had never thought of looking him up, so it was almost like a first meeting.

“He seems like a very… delicate person…?”

In the video, a rugged-looking foreigner with dreadlocks was holding a tablet and looking at something.

His beard was neatly groomed in a hipster style, and the muscles visible outside his sleeveless shirt were bulked up and neatly defined.

No matter how you looked at it, he didn’t seem like the type to watch a fluffy romance movie…

“He’s crying…?”

The corners of his eyes caught on the screen were red.

Looking closely, it seemed like tears were welling up.

‘I must be seeing things wrong.’

Yeonwoo didn’t want to approach someone with preconceived notions.

He had been on the receiving end of that before.

But at this moment.

Yeonwoo had to reflect.

‘…No. Well, a guy who looks like a hip-hop rapper can be sensitive.’

He realized that he had judged by appearances.

Come to think of it, this Trevi person was giving him a lot of new experiences in many ways.

In a way, he might be a very grateful person.

-What’s going on?

-Did Trevi get hacked?

-Oh my god. I saw Trevi’s tears. I can’t believe it.

Comments were posted below Trevi’s tearful review.

Everyone was at a loss as to what this live broadcast video meant.

-Trevi seems to be obsessed with an actor these days and is diligently digging through his filmography :)… Let’s all understand Trevi.

Finally, a fan who followed Trevi’s Instagram together came forward to explain, and they seemed to get a sense of the situation.

However, perhaps because of his usual chic attitude, they were busy denying reality as if they were experiencing cognitive dissonance.

-Who is that person that makes Trevi act like that?

-Trevi was a man who could like someone…? I thought he only loved himself.

-Oh, friend. You’re mistaken. He doesn’t love anything. He doesn’t even love himself. He’s a cold man. Trevi only loves music 😛

Then, this kind of reaction appeared.

-I have to find out. I can’t stand the curiosity.

The repercussions were on a different level than when he posted on Instagram.

Thanks to that, Yeonwoo’s recognition slowly began to rise.

Even in that distant western land where he had never paid any attention.

“Although it’s said to be a country of diverse races, there is subtle discrimination in Hollywood, which advocates diversity.”

A visitor who came early in the morning.

It was none other than Kwon Seong-hyeon, one of the people who could come and go freely in this accommodation.

Yeonwoo, who had gone for a dawn workout and came out after showering, was greeted by Kwon Seong-hyeon, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa as if it were his own home.

“You’re here? Let’s eat.”

On the table was a sumptuous feast of protein-based dishes, all of which required a lot of work.

Surprisingly, Kwon Seong-hyeon’s cooking skills were not at all inferior to Yeonwoo’s, who had received the abilities of a professional chef.

Yeonwoo ate, and Kwon Seong-hyeon watched Yeonwoo.

That’s how the conversation started.

“If you look closely at the main characters in the movies produced in Hollywood, the number of movies starring black people is significantly less than the number of movies starring white people. They are mainly cast as supporting roles rather than leading roles. Still, their position is better than that of Asians. It’s not easy for Asians to be cast even as significant supporting roles.”

In fact, there are many actors who are top-tier in Korea but fail to establish themselves properly in Hollywood, let alone as leading roles.

Many actors have the dream of Hollywood but are often frustrated.

“And it’s very difficult to be cast as those minor supporting roles. After all, there is no recognition, and there are hardly any directors who want to use actors who have not been verified. It’s a kind of vicious cycle. They can’t be cast, so they can’t appear in movies, and they can’t appear in movies, so they can’t be verified. They can’t be verified, so they can’t be cast. It’s a very bad treadmill.”

It’s like looking for an experienced new employee.

“So, entering the overseas market requires a huge amount of marketing costs. It’s not just a story limited to the United States, but the United States is particularly outstanding among them. There are many singers who have dreamed of the American dream and have been frustrated, not just actors.”

“I see.”

Yeonwoo nodded.

He was listening, but he wasn’t really interested in the topic.

It’s like overseas expansion is a very distant story.

‘It seems like it’s been a little less than a year since I entered this field, but overseas? Well. It’s not my story.’

It was only recently that he decided to become a celebrity in the first place.

It was even later that he decided to do it properly.

So, for Yeonwoo, it’s a story that he might think about in the very distant future.

He had never really thought about overseas.

However, Kwon Seong-hyeon seemed to think differently.

“In that respect…”

Kwon Seong-hyeon tapped the armrest of the chair.

“This Trevi person is doing all the marketing that Yeonwoo needs for overseas expansion.”

Hmm?

‘Why is the story suddenly jumping there?’

Why is marketing suddenly coming up, and why is the story of overseas expansion coming up?

Yeonwoo, who had been listening without thinking, stopped.

“Is it a bad thing?”

Is there any disadvantage?

“No. It’s a good thing.”

Kwon Seong-hyeon said that and added.

“Personally, I don’t like it very much.”

[Truth]

Yeonwoo was puzzled as he looked at the window that appeared in front of him.

If it’s good, it’s good.

What’s not good about it?

“Even if there was no such person as Trevi, Yeonwoo would have had no problem going overseas. Even if you don’t rely on someone’s influence, Yeonwoo is already shining so much that anyone can’t help but look back…”

Kwon Seong-hyeon is usually good at saying cheesy things, but this time it was a bit much.

Kwon Seong-hyeon sighed and continued.

“I contacted the company yesterday. They said they want to invite Yeonwoo if Yeonwoo wants to.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

It wasn’t bad that someone he had never met and lived in the opposite place liked him.

It was also amazing.

But that’s a separate story from suddenly trying to invite him.

“They said they want to work with Yeonwoo.”

“Pardon?”

“From what I heard, he’s been a fan since Yeonwoo was on YouTube. It seems like he contacted the account. He kept contacting me to work together, but Yeonwoo didn’t answer.”

“Ah…”

Suddenly, a foreigner popped out of nowhere, and it turned out that was the source.

“How about it? Do you have any thoughts?”

Kwon Seong-hyeon asked.

It was a subtle voice that seemed to entice people.

“If Yeonwoo has any thoughts… I’ll send you. You’ll get a lot from working with him. Even now, he’s only mentioned Yeonwoo a few times, but there are already places that are paying attention to Yeonwoo.”

The fact that Yeonwoo is the main pictorial model for an overseas luxury perfume brand has already been revealed.

Of course, the source was the people who dug up who the person Trevi claimed to be a fan of.

The YouTube channel, which quickly gathered followers, was also revealed.

In that situation, if Yeonwoo works with the famous Trevi…

“It will probably be quite helpful. In gaining fame.”

Even in overseas countries full of prejudice, you can cross that barrier relatively smoothly.

Kwon Seong-hyeon was confident that he could make Yeonwoo the best, even if he wasn’t a celebrity, but he didn’t intend to belittle the difficulty itself.

‘Certainly, that side might be more comfortable for Yeonwoo.’

Once you properly engrave the perception of what kind of person Yeonwoo is, the next step is easy.

As Trevi is a leading celebrity overseas, Trevi’s connections will also be wide.

If you add that connection to the accumulated recognition, it won’t be difficult to enter Hollywood.

‘A world where fame calls fame…’

That is Hollywood and the American market.

Working with Trevi will help Yeonwoo, and it will never be a loss.

Even the actors who are said to be the best in each country drink the cup of bitterness, which is the huge impregnable fortress of Hollywood.

But now.

Yeonwoo has a cheat key in his hand to overcome that difficulty.

However, Kwon Seong-hyeon thought.

‘It’s a pity.’

It’s a pity.

It was a great pity.

However, it is his greed to hold Yeonwoo back for the reason that it is a pity.

Kwon Seong-hyeon looked at Yeonwoo.

As if to pass the choice to him.

“Joint work…”

Yeonwoo’s mouth slowly opened, who had been lost in thought for a while after hearing Kwon Seong-hyeon’s words.

Kwon Seong-hyeon waited for the words that would follow, with the heart of a prisoner waiting for a sentence.

Soon.

“I have no intention of doing that.”

Yeonwoo’s answer was sentenced.

Even in a completely unexpected direction.

“Yes?”

Kwon Seong-hyeon asked back as if he had misheard.

“I said I have no intention of doing that.”

“…So you mean you have no intention of going overseas?”

“Yes.”

That’s it.

Kwon Seong-hyeon blinked as Yeonwoo nodded indifferently.

Then, he asked back as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Why?”

“Well. I don’t really feel like it.”

“Yeonwoo. This is… a very good opportunity.”

Unlike his true feelings, those words came out.

“Unlike now, more people will recognize Yeonwoo, and Yeonwoo’s popularity will increase accordingly. The overseas market is much bigger, needless to say. You’ll probably be more famous than you can compare to now, right?”

“Yes, well… that might be the case.”

“Trevor Hazel is not a bad person either. Rather, he saw Yeonwoo very well. Seeing that he’s about to beg, he’s not the kind of person who would use Yeonwoo or anything.”

The company to which Trevi belongs also expressed its desire for Yeonwoo’s visit.

There was no such thing as business-like courtesy.

They used words that could never be confused and made a very strong request.

It was natural.

Their signboard star is suddenly floundering in an unknown person.

Of course, you can’t help but feel a sense of crisis.

The company to which Trevi belongs is also a place where many famous actors and singers belong, so the company’s influence itself must be quite strong.

‘I don’t think my company is behind anywhere… but the American side seems to have a stronger influence from that company.’

If Yeonwoo only has the idea, of course, this side will also consider overseas expansion.

However, it takes time to build the related infrastructure.

Kwon Seong-hyeon, regardless of what he doesn’t like, this is definitely a proposal with the best conditions.

But.

“Well.”

The reaction of Yeonwoo, the person who is receiving the enthusiastic love call, was lukewarm.

“Well… is it really necessary to go?”
