Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 375

375. I’ll Invest (1)

2022.11.10.

Mac Houston seemed to be in that state.

Well.

Yeon-woo shrugged.

‘Because I have no intention of letting it go like that.’

Yeon-woo’s calm question.

However, Mac Houston’s pupils trembled violently as he listened to it.

“If I could, I would definitely want to show it to the world.”

“Is there any reason why it’s impossible?”

“That’s…….”

There were many.

There were so many intertwined stories here.

And Mac Houston was now fed up with all those stories.

‘I could make it if I wanted to. I could shift the direction to be independent. But if I do that, how am I different from a dog running away with its tail between its legs?’

There are ways to find a way.

However, after reviewing numerous possibilities.

Mac Houston decided to stop putting ill-fitting clothes on his script, which was like his own child.

“Huff……. I’m grateful and happy that you find it interesting, but realistically, the possibility of it being produced is very low. You can consider it almost zero.”

A bitter statement.

But it was a realistic judgment.

“I feel like it’s half realized just by meeting my ideal type, so I have no regrets now.”

“Ideal type…….”

No, why are we suddenly going off on a tangent?

[Ahahaha! Ideal type! Yeon-woo, why are you always attracting only dark old men!]

As expected, the Child Spirit, who never misses an opportunity like this, giggled beside him.

“Actually, the reason why I fell out with the film company was because they kept interfering with the lead actor. I don’t mind story interference, but the lead actor is the face of the work…….”

I can roughly guess what kind of story was exchanged.

“I am satisfied. I am satisfied that I found the protagonist I wanted and was able to dream for a while.”

It is a pitiful work that has been hit here and there.

He still carried the script around with him, still attached to his forcibly broken dream.

“That… hmm hmm. I wasn’t in my right mind that day. It’s embarrassing, but I kept feeling regretful… Just when I was about to give up, I saw the protagonist I had in mind, and I lost my mind.”

Now Mac Houston knows too.

The realistic possibility of his blood-like scenario being produced converges to 0.

‘But for that moment, I was able to dream the forgotten dream again.’

A director or casting director with a good eye can tell just by looking at an actor.

Whether this person fits the role they want or not.

He already has a clear idea of how he will move and act in his head.

It would be easier to capture the image more specifically after a camera test.

However, it is more certain to pull out the character inside the actor’s shell and project it into his head.

And.

‘How great would it be if that person really played my protagonist?’

Yeon-woo was exactly the protagonist Mac Houston wanted.

‘Jonas… thank you! Thank you, Jonas!’

A sight he would never have seen if he hadn’t been called to the set.

Mac Houston could not forget the scene he saw as soon as he entered the set.

-Do you have such an expression?

-So, this must have been the kind of person Hanna saw in you.

-Get rid of your worthless, paltry sympathy.

-There is no higher-up you know. There are only dog-like hypocrites. Aren’t you used to it?

The lines were spat out coldly.

He was clearly looking at the other person, but his eyes were as cold as if he were looking at an inanimate object.

Even if he was shot and killed, his indifferent gaze did not change.

In some ways, he seems like an inhuman being.

However, it is clear from his unhesitating actions that a small spark is hidden inside.

In addition, David was a very suitable person to mediate and bring together John Doe, who was immersed in twisted revenge, and Black, who still had his last hesitation due to years of brainwashing.

‘That’s the one. It has to be that person!’

Of course, Mac’s protagonist and David were not exactly the same character.

No, rather, some parts could be said to be the complete opposite.

If David is an endlessly cold, emotionless, and fearless rational beast who endures and endures until the end and hides his claws.

‘My protagonist is rather flexible and shameless.’

Sometimes as a businessman.

Sometimes as a thief.

Sometimes as an attractive person who captivates people.

Mac’s protagonist shows countless multifaceted aspects.

However, inside there is confusion in search of the truth.

A protagonist who must show various aspects without awkwardness and reveal even complex inner feelings.

The very person who represents the core message of the movie that Mac thinks of.

‘The protagonist’s charm determines this movie.’

That’s why Mac thought it was better to be humiliated by having his investment withdrawn.

But a few days ago.

‘Ah… why is it so disappointing. I’m disappointed! That kind of person should have been my protagonist!’

Mac found exactly the ideal type he wanted.

If it weren’t for this situation, he might have run over and proposed right away.

Since production was impossible anyway, he only dwelled on his regrets.

‘Still… he took the script.’

That alone was Mac’s comfort.

But then.

“So, are you giving up?”

The ideal type in front of him kept bringing up things that shook him.

“As you know… that’s not something I can do…….”

He was satisfied in his own way.

Faced with the impossible barrier of reality, Mac finished a movie in his imagination.

It felt like something stuck was resolved just by that……

“Let’s put that aside and just tell me what you think, Mr. Mac Houston.”

“Wh, what…….”

“The movie. I’m asking if you’re going to be satisfied with just thinking about it like this.”

“Yes……?”

Something is strange.

Suddenly, his heart is pounding.

And at the same time, his head went blank.

It felt like the ideal type’s words were not being properly conveyed to his head.

“Don’t you want to make your thoughts a reality?”

“Yes……?”

“It’s too good to be buried like this. I want to put this movie in theaters.”

“Yes……?”

Mac kept repeating “Yes?” like a dumb person.

It seemed like he couldn’t keep up with this conversation.

Regardless.

‘I’ll do my job.’

Yeon-woo said, looking at Mac, who seemed to be out of his mind.

“Let’s make this movie.”

“Yes……?”

Mac, still repeating only one word like a parrot.

Yeon-woo smiled as he looked at him.

“I will invest in this movie.”

*

So, this was greed.

Such greed that he could never let go of.

It was a natural thing.

A golden script!

It was even a golden color he had never seen before.

‘You’re an idiot if you miss that.’

His instincts seemed to be whispering that.

‘It’s golden, are you going to miss it? Huh? It’s golden?’

Even though he had seen countless scenarios so far, this was the first time he had seen a golden one.

How could he not be greedy?

‘I should ask Kwon Seong-hyeon about it. But I need to keep it in advance.’

Yeon-woo faithfully followed the feeling his instincts gave him.

“What did you just say…….”

So, Yeon-woo had no choice but to continue to deliver follow-up blows to Mac Houston, who had already been devastated by the explosion.

“I said I would invest.”

“So… that’s… uh…….”

“Yes. I said I would invest in your movie. You didn’t mishear me. You’re not mistaken either. I definitely said I would invest.”

Mac Houston, pushed by Yeon-woo’s force, stammered.

“Think carefully and give me an answer.”

“Uh… yes… yes, yes…….”

“I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. It would be even better if it was positive.”

“I, I will…….”

After Mac Houston staggered back like a dazed zombie.

“What do you think?”

Yeon-woo asked the Child Spirit.

[What? Are you talking about that human who was out of his mind earlier?]

“No. Not that. Do you think he’ll accept it?”

The chubby cat, who was diligently grooming with jelly, answered indifferently.

[Well… if he doesn’t accept it, is he even human? Of course, he’ll accept it. There’s no way he can’t accept it when you block him from behind and push him like that. But Yeon-woo, you…….]

The fat cat, who was grooming his nails after the jelly, turned to look at Yeon-woo.

[You charmed that person. Right?]

Just because there’s a question mark doesn’t mean he’s really asking because he doesn’t know.

This is just a stage to reconfirm a known fact.

“What…….”

Yeon-woo just shrugged.

“I think there’s a bit of a problem with the word choice. Who charmed who? Someone might misunderstand if they hear that?”

[Who is the person who used spiritual power on a human who would have come over on his own if you had just pulled him a little? If that’s not charming, then what is it?]

No, well…….

People can do that if they are desperate.

Besides, aren’t abilities meant to be used?!

‘If you ask why I use it when it’s there to be used……’

It is a moment that reminds me of the persimmon scene from a certain drama that swept the country a long time ago.

“Let’s not be too harsh, since it wasn’t used on purpose.”

This is 100 percent true.

If someone used intent detection here, they would know.

That his words are 100% true.

‘Seriously. I felt it back then too, but it seems like it will be an even more fraudulent skill than I thought……?’

So, this happened a while ago.

To be more precise, it was before filming Black.

‘I think I need to upgrade my stats too?’

It wasn’t intentional, but a seed was planted in his garden a while ago.

It was a seed named Gabriel.

The system even said this:

[Please take good care of the weak seed! If you raise it well, you might get lucky?]

Yeon-woo had learned something about the system over the past few years.

‘Rewards and penalties are certain.’

That.

He is dumbfounded every time a mission with a penalty pops up out of nowhere.

However, if you put aside the absurdity and think about it, it is not necessarily unfair.

‘All missions only give me what I can do.’

This is a very important proposition.

It means that he doesn’t tease people by giving them missions that seem impossible.

When I first saw it,

-Is this a bit too much?

Even so.

But when you actually open the lid, it’s different.

Once you accept and start carrying out the mission, you start to think differently.

-This is a bit… doable?

What should I say.

It feels like you’re being forced to move, but when you actually look at it, it feels like this?

-Are you still not going to do it? Really? Can’t you do it for me? Huh?

He even gives you the stats to match if it seems a little difficult.

[It must be your imagination. Yeon-woo, don’t you know even after going through those old men? It’s not giving it away, it’s just that you’re good at it.]

The Child Spirit dismissed Yeon-woo’s thoughts, saying that could not be the case.

[Well. If those old men deliberately try to interfere with you, our Yeon-hwa won’t let it go… Anyway, they’re not such nice guys. Yeon-woo, you’re too nice. You interpret it so nicely… Tsk. This innocent guy. What would I have done without you!]

“……?”

There are words that I cannot understand at all.

Were the words kind and innocent concepts that could coexist with him?
