From Hollywood Child Actor to Genius Actor - Episode 236

Each member of the National Assembly is a power body, and every word they say or a gesture can be interpreted as having a political meaning.

A competent lawmaker like Charlotte knows how to be careful about even the smallest words and actions.

However, since humans cannot maintain tension all the time, they have no choice but to show signs of relaxation at least at home.

This was the reason why the two cute blackmailers were able to gather more valuable information than expected.

Joy forgot about the fatigue that came with the late night and her eyes shined brightly.

“Hehe, Lottie often watches our album alone and misses it, right? Hey, if you really want to see me, just call me. “Does it make sense to hold back because it’s late after work?”

“…More than that.”

“I can’t do it. “Starting tomorrow, I’ll have to sleep with Lottie.”

…I think I need to stop talking in my sleep.

At night, it evolves into something you don’t know whether it’s a cicada or an anaconda.

“That’s not important now. “Why did we come here?”

“Oh right.”

Rio neatly folded Ian’s socks after all his hard work and summarized what he had learned today.

“I don’t think it’s anything serious. It’s just annoying and annoying. “If that were really the case, Dad and Lottie wouldn’t have sent us here.”

Although it was an uncharacteristically accurate judgment for a child, Joy pouted and pouted.

“So, it doesn’t mean that there are people who bother Charlotte like the paparazzi who bothered me before.”

“ah…”

Paparazzi do not take photos of Hollywood stars or children if they make money.

‘Did you say that when we were born, they flew a drone to secretly take pictures?’

Of course, ‘Wait a minute, that looks like it’s tied… Oh no! After the expensive drone was shot down with a scream of ‘You damned druid!’, anyone who dared attempt such a thing disappeared.

This incident shows how great the interest is in children born to famous stars.

It was like this even when she was still, but it must have been amazing when Joy became very popular as a child actor thanks to her cute appearance.

Even if the child retaliated by moving the pigeon himself, the bad memories couldn’t completely disappear, and since he brought up the story at that time, Rio couldn’t just stop him.

“Ha… Let’s think about what to do. Instead, you shouldn’t let animals attack someone like you did then. “You know, right?”

“Well, of course I know.”

Joey nodded repeatedly. I really didn’t intend to do that.

Ian, who used to scold me with a gentle face even when he had a serious accident, looked angry for the first and last time.

What would have happened if the pigeons had been seriously injured or died because of your request?

It was Joy’s fault because she was too young at the time and was under a lot of stress from the paparazzi.

In the arms of Ian, who scolded and comforted him, he shed tears and vowed never to do anything bad with his animal friends again, and his feelings have still not changed.

“So how can we help Lottie?”

“Dad, I would have thought of two options. “How can I give Lottie strength, and how can I block the opponent’s attacks?”

Children learn by watching their parents’ behavior. Rio, who had looked for every article featuring Ian since he was young, spoke with confidence.

This is because they moved like this during the presidential election eight years ago, when adults were quiet.

“I think Joey can play a role in empowering Lottie.”

“I?”

Joey asked back with wide eyes, and Rio nodded his head sharply.

“Lottie is Joey’s godmother, right? Just being together will give you strength. Audrey always said that to me too. “He said he was so happy spending time with me.”

“that’s right! “So did Lottie.”

“yes?”

How can I make Lottie happy? Would you like me to massage your shoulders? After thinking briefly, Joy asked.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I have to figure out how to stop the attack. “I can find useful information sources anywhere, so I should look for information that could be a weakness or at least gain the other person’s favor.”

Since I don’t have much to do during the day without Lottie anyway, I’m thinking of wandering around with Vivian in the name of sightseeing.

Of course, I’m not expecting much. I just think it’s right to move if I can provide even a little help.

After hearing Rio’s explanation, Joy fell into trouble. Is just being by your side enough?

If Charlotte had heard, she would have hastily stopped him by saying, ‘Being quiet is helping.’ But unfortunately, she was just sleeping soundly, not knowing what was going on at home.

A time when I was cutely frowning and thinking.

-Bwaak.

“huh?”

The baby eagle that woke up to the sound of the two whispering let out a cry, and Joey’s face brightened.

“ah! “That will work.”

“…what?”

“Let’s get some sleep first. “I think I’ll have to be busy starting tomorrow.”

Rio followed Joy, who yawned and wriggled under the blanket, and buried herself in the bed.

Ian heard about the children’s current status from his goddaughter, Vivian.

He said he was doing well as he was traveling around Washington during the day.

Ian was relieved to hear the news that his worries about whether he was doing well in an unfamiliar city without his parents were overshadowed, and he focused more on filming the movie.

The main character, Colton, is just a scientist who takes a baby with him.

This means that he is not a character who moves forward by happily wiping out opponents who stand in his way like the protagonist of a typical Hollywood blockbuster.

‘But that doesn’t mean there are no action scenes at all.’

The situation in the work is one in which power is concentrated in the hands of a very small number of vested interests, and the people have no will to resist power.

These scenes are intended to show how insignificant human life can become in this environment.

People who tried to kill Colton and take him away rather than persuade him to have a child with a voice, and bloody fights between gun-armed fanatics and the personal and public powers of those in power, added to the tension in the work.

“It’s ironic. “People who dream of a better world often get hindered rather than helped by those around them.”

“The truth is bitter and effort is painful. It’s terrible. “It’s not easy to exercise for your health, right?”

It is not easy to make efforts for one’s personal life, so how can working for a greater ideal be easy?

Colton giving up his wife’s life and going on a dangerous journey with his child made us realize how difficult it is to do the right thing.

Nathan, who was watching the footage together, checked the remaining filming schedule.

The two-month shoot was already nearing its end, and he looked back on the past schedule and clicked his tongue.

“When I first saw the shooting schedule, I thought it was too tight, but I managed to pull it off.”

Even though technology has advanced so far, it is not easy to reduce the filming schedule itself.

Actors still act on camera, and technological advancements do not reduce the number of NGs.

‘Like anyone else, no matter how difficult a scene is, it’s difficult unless there’s a monster who doesn’t make even a single NG.’

It’s not a disappointing scene, nor is it a scene where we had no choice but to reach an agreement because we were pressed for time. There was no flaw in any of the scenes, as if they had been filmed dozens of times over and over again.

Ian laughed lightly at Nathan’s exclamation.

“It’s not that big of a deal. “It’s because I pictured the shooting scene dozens and hundreds of times in my head while writing the script.”

…usually that doesn’t work.

Fearing that he was not an actor who had been recognized for his acting skills since he was young, he was calmly saying things that would have been unthinkable to an ordinary actor.

‘And this role even includes sign language.’

Since most people in the work cannot communicate, writing and sign language were used to communicate.

If it’s a regular supporting role, it won’t be a big problem. All you need to do is memorize a few sign language movements that fit the short amount of time you appear.

Other leading roles?

From the top star that Evan hit to the villainous politician. These significant characters were characters who did not even need to use sign language.

Ian, who played the role of Colton, had to be fluent in sign language, and this man did an excellent job of acting even in sign language.

‘In the meantime, I took care of details that others wouldn’t pay much attention to.’

By showing through actions that there is no sign language that stands against power like rebellion, it indirectly showed how obedient the people in the work are to power.

“If I finish editing as quickly as possible, I can complete the work within three months, right?”

“You can do it if you want to. But why? “Do you need to finish it quickly?”

Of course, the more time and effort put into the work, the better the work will not be in proportion, but he seemed uncharacteristically impatient.

Ian looked slightly embarrassed at the question as if he was wondering.

“I want to show you as soon as possible.”

“To whom?”

“My grandmother.”

Sophia Price.

Nathan scratched his head when I heard that I wanted to quickly show her that a movie like this was made with your ID.

“Ugh, even after filming is over, I won’t be able to rest properly for a while.”

“don’t worry. “I will be there to help you.”

“of course. Did you just plan on making it difficult for me? Of course, someone who knows this movie better than me has to suffer.”

The two burst into laughter as they talked about rotting like stinky tofu together in the editing room.

For The Future is ready for filming.

***

Joey and Rio lived in Washington D.C. and went out every day.

Naturally, it didn’t take long for people in the political world to realize why the expression on Charlotte’s face, which had been suffering from attacks from Republican lawmakers, had recently brightened.

Since he went to Charlotte’s office with snacks to support Lottie, it’s strange that he doesn’t know about their existence.

“Ha, Ian Price. It’s hard to interfere directly, so you send the kids. “I don’t know who the politicians are when I see that they are using all means and methods.”

Even if a politician is someone who fights dirty and shamelessly when necessary, there are some things that should not be messed with.

One of them was a child.

‘If there is a child next to you and he raises his voice to Rep. Underhill as usual and then bursts into tears, it will be a truly major disaster.’

There will be a strong backlash, saying, ‘No, no matter what, you shouldn’t touch the child!’

Of course, Charlotte did not actively use the children, but it is true that it was uncomfortable to restrain herself from being a child who could become a bomb at any moment.

“Anyway, you can’t hang around with Underhill forever, right? “This is enough to warn Ian.”

“I agree.”

The result was that the political pressure on Charlotte was slightly reduced.

However, the children had no intention of being satisfied with this alone.

“Joey, are you really going to do this?”

“Yes, Dad said. “Performance is important.”

As expected, it was difficult to stop Joy, who had made up her mind and completed her preparations. Rio shrugged his shoulders and looked around.

Politicians do not miss external events where they can make a mark. Especially if there is a need to gather at least one more vote ahead of the presidential election.

This is why many politicians came to the event held in Washington.

It was a fairly important event in which not only Democratic lawmakers, including Charlotte, but also Republican lawmakers participated.

Looking at the people gathered in the open space, Rio found his desired goal.

‘Joey will take care of it, I’ll just do my job.’

I broke up with Joy and approached the other person with my bodyguard. I could tell that he was an important person just by looking at the number of people gathered around him.

This is because he is such an amazing person that such protocol is not excessive at all.

“hello. “Senator Ortiz.”

“hmm?”

Ortiz, a member of the Republican Party who is one of the axes of power as a senator who is called the future president, looked interested as he looked at the child nodding.

It’s not because I don’t know who the other person is. It’s because he doesn’t know why he came to me.

As there were people around, he spoke in a friendly voice.

“It was Leo Price, right?”

“yes! that’s right!”

“Um, why did you call me?”

As he asked why, answers flashed through his mind and he quickly calculated what kind of reaction he would receive each time.

Although he looked experienced enough to know that he did not ascend to the Senate seat for free, the child’s behavior was unexpected.

The child, gesturing for his ear, whispered to him.

“Do you sometimes have scary nightmares or see strange things?”

“…what?”

Instead of giving him an answer to his question, Rio looked back.

-Die…die…

Unlike what he usually sees, a black figure continues to follow him and curse him.

I did it just in case, but judging by the reaction I got, my guess was right. The child smiled brightly and handed him what she had in her pocket.

“If I’m right, keep this. “It will help.”

I looked down at the object in my hand.

“…socks?”

It’s not new, and there’s only one side there.

No matter how hard I try, I don’t know why they’re giving me this.

“Trust me just once. You won’t regret it. And since it is such a precious item, you must return it?”

…one-sided socks?

Ignoring the dumbfounded man, Rio raised his head and looked at the sky.

“I guess I’ll just have to go. “Before it gets noisy.”

The senator unconsciously raised his head and noticed a black object.

After a while, the venue was in great commotion.

***

“Ian, would you like to see this?”

Ian, who was resting with a drink, looked at the screen Rachel held out.

I saw an article showing Charlotte standing at what appeared to be an event venue. If it were just this, she wouldn’t even be a knight.

“…eagle?”

The national bird of the United States was seen sitting on Charlotte’s shoulder and acting cutely.

Ian realized the culprit and washed his face dry.

‘It’s Joey.’

What does this mean that Roti is the prize that will become king?
