Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 398

398. Let’s Change the Standard (2)

There were not only film festivals but also awards with unfamiliar names, and invitations from countless critics’ associations.

That wasn’t all.

“Scree… what?”

“Screening events. Think of them as previews.”

“Isn’t the movie already in theaters…?”

“Yes, but… these are for a rather special audience. You can think of it as similar to stage greetings. Oh, and.”

“…It’s not over yet?”

“Unfortunately, no. We have advertising offers. It’s the same group that Gabriel worked with. And also…”

“Again?!”

A call from Miracle.

To be precise, Andrew, the former publicist, said solemnly.

Hearing that their vacation to Korea was turning into a deadly schedule, everyone turned into a Munch’s Scream [referencing Edvard Munch’s famous painting, symbolizing existential angst].

Regardless, Andrew continued calmly.

“From now on, you need to do interviews well too.”

“I’ve been doing well?”

“With Hollywood reporters. Hmm. I understand your feelings, but it’s difficult to give them the impression that you’re snubbing them.”

“Then isn’t it already too late? We already refused them once?”

“It’s okay. Your image is even better now. Coming to Korea first worked out perfectly. The strong bond between the actors is seen positively. And now they’re the ones who are eager… now is the right time.”

But if we boycott them further, they might turn their backs on us.

“But, Andrew. Why are you suddenly scheduling all this…?”

Director Mac Houston took the lead and asked, facing this series of situations.

“We always act only for the success of the movie.”

That was the correct answer.

Surely the film company wouldn’t want to ruin a movie they invested in.

Besides, everyone here knows how well Andrew works.

His sharp situation analysis and accurate judgment always shone.

“Speaking of which, I’ll arrange interviews with the press corps that came with me.”

The problem wasn’t just that.

Suddenly scheduled overseas schedules were overseas schedules, but.

The schedules in Korea were also not easy.

“Are there really this many places looking for us?”

“It’s a good movie, so it’s a natural result.”

Andrew replied as if asking the obvious.

‘No, I don’t understand why people like congressmen are calling us?’

Trying to take advantage of the popularity of The Last Piece, or.

Or trying to increase their recognition by sticking to the most popular people these days.

Well, there may be several reasons, but…

Not only politicians but also company events were inviting them.

In many ways, it was full of annoying things.

Perhaps because of that.

Of course, Yeon-woo’s golden scenario search project was also delayed.

The lead actors couldn’t be absent from major events where they were invited from various places.

Nevertheless, Yeon-woo tenaciously used his free time to constantly read thin booklets.

[Hey, you’re going to collapse if you keep doing that? Ugh. I can’t stand to watch. How about I take a look at you?] The child spirit clicked his tongue.

[If your face gets ruined, Yeon-hwa will worry! Maybe if I go to her dreams and threaten her, she won’t even think about calling you!] It was a very tempting offer.

‘Should I really do that?’

But he held back.

It’s very annoying, but.

It’s obviously annoying!

‘But strangely, I have a feeling that I shouldn’t quit?’

In short, he had a hunch that it would be good to follow that annoying schedule.

And as I said many times, Yeon-woo’s hunch is almost like a divine revelation.

That’s why the actors who were on a mukbang [eating broadcast] tour were dragged along, and Yeon-woo carried around a pile of papers in the corner of the limousine.

“Ugh. Ughhhhh.”

“Give me chicken… give me chicken.”

“I want to eat spicy stir-fried chicken. With lots of rice cakes. And lots of glass noodles!”

“That’s right. And we have to mix rice with it.”

After several official schedules, including stage greetings.

What remained were not actors but hungry zombies.

Andrew led them to a Korean traditional restaurant.

“Shall we do this live?”

“Oh, good!”

“The greatness of Korean food must be known to the world.”

One of the actors seriously wanted to become a Korean food ambassador and started looking for the qualifications.

The funny thing was that their live broadcast was reported the next day.

[‘The Last Piece’ actors’ endless mukbang! ‘I love Korean food so much!’]

[‘We eat anything’ …… ‘The Last Piece’ cast, garnering attention with mukbang pledges]

[‘Without a doubt, chicken and beer are the best food in the world’ …… ‘The Last Piece’ Gabriel Alicia’s shocking statement!]

Yeon-woo’s impression of seeing that was exactly this.

‘Everyone… is out of their mind.’

But I understand.

Because if you’re looking for the most attention-grabbing person right now, it’s these people in front of you.

As many as millions of people gathered for the impromptu live broadcast at the Korean restaurant.

The live broadcast, which started modestly with hundreds of thousands of viewers.

However, the number of viewers exploded as news spread from somewhere.

“Cheers! Everyone. I’ll show you what we’re eating right now! Right away, Korean food!”

Eating food and doing live broadcasts.

It was very hectic.

But there were benefits.

“Ah, what is Yeon-woo doing? Yeon-woo. They’re wondering what you’re doing?”

“I’m looking at the scenario.”

“Scenario? Are you already choosing your next movie?!”

The actor, possessed by a reporter, asked, holding up a spoon as a microphone.

“Oh. I wonder who the next Cinderella will be?!”

Mac said with a hearty laugh, and the chat window was full of question marks.

“This movie wouldn’t have existed without Yeon-woo. Ah, I’m not talking about the lead actor, I’m talking about the scenario. Yeon-woo was the only one who recognized my scenario that all the production companies had rejected!”

-Is that real?

-Wow, what’s up with our Yeon-woo’s eye for talent?

The reaction to the story they heard for the first time was a mess, but unfortunately, no one noticed.

Yeon-woo shrugged his shoulders once and took Mac’s words.

“Speaking of which. I’m having fun reading scenarios these days, so if anyone is okay with it, I’d appreciate it if you could send me your work.”

It was a small gap promotion.

‘I’m already running out of things to read these days, so it’s a good time.’

It is more effective to slip it in like this than to make a formal announcement.

Because it lowers the psychological hurdle.

Anyway, the mukbang live broadcast ended successfully.

The video, which is currently saved, has already spread properly among fans and boasts tens of millions of views.

Thanks to that,

-What are Elliot and Logan eating right now? What is it that looks so delicious?

-I decided to go to a Korean restaurant tomorrow: D It’s my fault for watching such a crazy live broadcast at this early hour: D

-Is that all Korean traditional food? Oh my god. I want to go to Korea right now!

An untimely Korean food promotion was also properly carried out.

-Oh my, they eat well. It’s so nice to see the kids come and eat so deliciously.

-It’s so heartwarming to see them being real friends and playing like that.

-The movie genre is an action thriller mystery, but the actors are so cute and lovely with each other ㅠㅠ

-Our Yeon-woo is so sincere… It’s really worth being a fan. It’s a clean zone, a clean zone.

Not only overseas fans but also Korean fans had very good reactions.

The promotion that was slipped in was more effective than expected.

Numerous scenarios began to pile up in Yeon-woo’s official email account managed by the agency.

Of course, the mukbang was reported not only because they ate well.

[‘The Last Piece’ sets a new record for surpassing 10 million viewers in the shortest period!]

Recently, The Last Piece achieved the feat of gathering 10 million viewers in the shortest period.

The attention that had already been focused on the center of the topic exploded at that point.

This crazy speed of record renewal was not limited to Korea.

While the actors were working hard in Korea.

Another unbelievable piece of news came.

“Wow.”

“Oh my god.”

“Is this real? Is this not a lie?”

At first, everyone found it hard to believe.

That’s because the news Andrew was bringing was so unrealistic.

“We made 1 billion dollars?”

“Yes. That’s right. It’s the figure that was tallied up until two days ago.”

It was exactly one week since they stayed in Korea.

“So… 1 billion in 5 days?”

It was the result of compiling box office revenue from all over the world.

An unbelievable figure.

It was natural for the actors to lose their minds.

That was the same for Yeon-woo.

-Ting!

A sudden clear notification sound rang.

It was the first starting point to eliminate Yeon-woo’s sense of reality.

[Sudden Mission (2) Complete!]

[Measuring the achievement of Sudden Mission (2).]

[Sudden Mission (2) has been perfectly executed!]

[Public favorability for the outcome: 98 percent]

-Ting!

[Congratulations! As a reward, a lifespan harvest fever time will be presented!]

[The amount of lifespan that can be harvested will be increased by 5 times for 10 days!]

‘Why is this coming out now?’

When I heard the first notification.

Yeon-woo thought so.

The second mission linked to Gabriel’s sudden mission to ‘Help the underprivileged’.

Clearly, Black’s OST caused a huge sensation and showed a tremendous reaction.

He even won an award in one category at the Grammy Awards for Black’s theme song.

‘It was definitely quiet back then?’

I remember complaining that it was terribly picky, saying that it wasn’t enough to receive an award.

But now, such a notification?

‘Well… come to think of it, there were restrictions. Let’s change people’s dangerous perceptions in the right way… was it?’

I thought it had failed, but that wasn’t the case either.

Because if it had failed, 70 percent of the total lifespan would have been lost.

If you think about it, the success condition of the mission was not ‘the song’ but ‘the result’.

Some reasoning is possible here.

‘So, improving perception was not enough with just the shock effect?’

The reason why the mission clear notification is popping up now is probably because The Last Piece has unknowingly raised several perceptions.

There will naturally be people who will open their eyes and look at the fact that an Asian person played the lead role.

However, the movie’s captivating power and immersive content would have completely blown away racial restrictions from their minds.

‘That synergy effect… is the result now.’

It took longer than I thought, but it doesn’t matter because it’s not a failure.

That’s when Yeon-woo thought so.

-Ting!

‘Hmm?’

Another notification rang.

[Unprecedented record!]

[Shortest period to break 10 million record!]

[Congratulations! You have captured the hearts of many people in a short time!]

[The world will be a little brighter due to your efforts!]

[The user’s efforts are paying off!]

-Ting!

[Congratulations on the user’s great record, a special additional random gold roulette will be given!]

‘Hmm? Congratulations on breaking the 10 million record?’

Suddenly, Yeon-woo became dazed.

No, the old men, no, the system wouldn’t do such a commendable thing?

Was the system this delicate?

But as if that thought was a miscalculation, another notification rang.

-Ting!

[Unprecedented great record!]

[Shortest period to break 1 billion dollar record!]

[Congratulations! You have left a strong impression on the people of the world!]

[The negative views dormant in their minds will be greatly reduced due to you!]

[The user’s efforts are paying off!]

‘Eueueung?’

Yeon-woo was embarrassed by the three consecutive notifications.

[Congratulations on the user’s great record, a special additional random platinum roulette will be given!]

Yeon-woo lost his words for a moment and looked ahead.

There, two roulettes shining brilliantly in gold and iridescent colors that only Yeon-woo could see were sparkling and asserting themselves.
