From Hollywood Child Actor to Genius Actor - Episode 237
Popularity is life for politicians.
In order to gain public favor, he spares no effort in packaging himself using personal branding and political consultants.
In that respect, Charlotte had a lot of political assets to move up.
Not only does he boast a handsome appearance that has not rusted over time, but he also has a reputation that all politicians would envy due to his flashy youth when he was a party animal.
Even his past behavior, which was a weakness, was washed clean with the Herman exposure incident, and he is being supported as a person who has been rehabilitated.
Having a strong family to back you up is a bonus.
There are plenty of politicians who would be envious of this alone.
-Beep!
Pure white head and yellow beak.
A video of an eagle, symbolizing the United States, flying to the event site and landing gently on Charlotte’s shoulder, rubbing its head and showing cuteness instantly became popular and spread rapidly.
-OMGGGG! what? What kind of event is this to show such a performance?!
└Looking at the follow-up article, it says it was a wild eagle living nearby?
└lolol! Our national bird has chosen the next presidential candidate! Yes, it is time for America to have a female president.
└Eagle pick, don’t you pick this? really?
Of course, it is not some kind of Indian totemism, and it does not mean that a wild eagle will tell you that you will become president.
Because it just floats around like a meme in a funny situation.
‘At least for now.’
Words have power.
Even if it’s just a joke, it means that if a meme like this is circulated among the public, people will unconsciously think of her as a future presidential candidate.
‘If I use this opportunity well, I can use it as a stepping stone to becoming a senator.’
In the United States, there is a large difference between the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Since most U.S. presidential candidates are senators or governors, the political scene is dominated by the House Speaker or senators.
Charlotte, who was able to make her face known on the national political scene as a member of the House of Representatives through this incident, moved her fingers with a smile.
“joy?”
“Ebebebeeh… apuhuh…”
“I told you to be quiet, right? huh?”
The soft cheekbones stretched along the fingers.
Without even having to ask, I was already sure of the culprit when the eagle landed on my shoulder. As far as he knows, there are only two people in this world who can do something like this.
‘Thanks to you, I was able to act without panicking.’
Charlotte looked at a video of herself petting an adorable eagle with a soft smile and then sending it flying away again.
He’s not even Ian, and anyone who sees him would think he’s a former congressman turned druid.
Charlotte let go and roughly stroked Joey’s head, whose cheeks had turned red.
“Who are the real parents that can’t be quiet for a moment like this?”
“…Lottie is my godmother?”
…Right. Was he spitting in his own face?
Joey cautiously asked Charlotte, who burst out laughing.
“Lottie, did you do something wrong? Didn’t it help you?”
Didn’t it help you? That’s not it. To be honest, I couldn’t hide my envy while watching the video that made the news of my fellow congressman, and even senior members of the party even contacted me to congratulate him.
If you work harder from now on, you can run for senator. So, if you only consider the pros and cons, it is definitely beneficial.
I feel thankful when I think about how I found this way after struggling alone to help.
“It was helpful. But you can’t do this next time. You didn’t hide your specialness for no reason until now. I hope you don’t have to suffer again like you did when you were a child actor. Especially for me.”
“Rottie.”
His goddaughter, Joy, is more important to him than becoming a politician.
Charlotte, who clearly expressed her thoughts, hugged the child, patted him lightly, and said playfully:
“It’s going to get busier for a while. “Thanks to someone, the water came in, so we’ll have to row hard.”
Regardless of whether I liked it or not, I had no intention of missing the opportunity. Because it was a surprise gift prepared for her by her precious goddaughter.
‘Both father and daughter are the same.’
It creates unexpected opportunities.
Charlotte smiled to herself and had a busy schedule absorbing the public’s attention.
“…This really hit the mark.”
Republican figures smiled empty-handedly.
The attacks on Charlotte to pressure Ian began to fly around to the point where it was meaningless.
‘At least we should be glad that we sat for Underhill and not the presidential candidate.’
I don’t know about Charlotte personally, but it won’t have much of an impact on the outcome of the presidential election.
“I never thought Price’s daughter could do something similar.”
“I looked it up and found that there was an incident that I could already guess. “It was an incident where pigeons attacked paparazzi.”
“Is that something that can be inherited?”
“I know.”
Among the people whispering, one person expressed an opinion.
“How about we reveal that this is not just an incident, but a political event planned together with Price’s daughter?”
“That’s not a good opinion.”
Senator Ortiz cut it off decisively.
“What does that mean? In my opinion, the public’s interest will increase even more since Druid II has appeared.”
“I guess so.”
A clumsy move will only result in encouraging the opposing party’s lawmakers, so it’s best to hope that interest will wane over time like any other event.
‘Anyway, it’s a shame. ‘A talented person like Price is a celebrity rather than a politician.’
I felt it during the presidential election eight years ago, and it was horrifying to see that they could overcome a political attack with a simple trick.
Swallowing his regret, he put his hands in his pockets. He muttered as he touched the bundle of cloth he could feel at his fingertips.
“I guess I’ll have to meet that kid again.”
Because we should talk about the socks that helped us sleep better.
***
Ian had to explain to Charlotte what had happened in Washington.
“I didn’t really order it.”
-I’m telling you it’s not true, so I’ll trust you for now.
…Ian also had enough conscience to protest that his suspicions were unnecessary. In the meantime, she must have done something or two that shocked Charlotte.
In subsequent contacts with Joy, she did not say anything to reprimand the child.
Is it possible for someone born with the constitution to be loved by animals like yourself to be found out?
‘You wouldn’t have done it without knowing that.’
This means that he chose this method to help his godmother, Charlotte, even though he knew that he would receive more public attention than when he was a child actor.
Even if it is a child, how can you scold him for taking risks for his family?
So just.
“You must have had a hard time.”
-Hehehe, it was hard to find. They provided me with something to eat later.
We just burst into laughter and chatted a lot when told that we had given the eagle daily wages.
Leaving the incident in Washington behind, Ian focused his efforts on completing filming well.
For The Future is like a farewell to Sofia, telling her that they were happy together all this time. Shouldn’t an accident that could tarnish such a work happen?
Before filming began, Chari managed the filming site with great care, paying more attention to the situation than usual, and the filming continued smoothly without even a minor incident.
The filming schedule is almost over.
In it, I felt the passage of time again while collaborating with Evan.
He went from a child actor to an adult actor and showed his mature acting skills to the extent that I can’t even remember the time he filmed with young Evan in The King Of Prison.
Of course, I didn’t know that he had excellent acting skills when asked about his acting every time.
‘However, as an actor, I feel more clearly how much I have grown since working together in front of the camera.’
From how hard he tried to analyze and express the character to how he tried to work in harmony with his co-star instead of being self-righteous.
Now I can say without a doubt that he is a truly great actor, and what makes me more excited about Ian is that he is a great actor.
“Evan really likes acting.”
Filming is hard. There are many cases where you become immersed in a role, expend your emotions, and feel physically exhausted while filming intense scenes.
Despite this, Evan always appeared on set with a smile on his face and stayed with us until the end even though there was no part to film.
‘Yes, this is love.’
It’s something you can’t do if you don’t love acting as much as you do.
The fact that he had this attitude more than his outstanding acting skills made Ian very happy, and Nathan shook his head as he watched Evan repeatedly patting his shoulder and praising him.
Well, Evan is still the type of person who says he is very shy after seeing him act coldly towards others.
Nothing had changed from the past, either Ian, who didn’t know that he was being kind only to himself, or Evan, who chased after him without missing an opportunity.
I don’t necessarily want to tell you the truth because it helps with filming.
“Ian.”
“huh? what’s the matter.”
“I heard that after filming last time, I was going to New York to see my grandfather.”
“That’s right. “It’s been a while since I haven’t seen you in person.”
Ian had never felt his grandfather’s touch in his life. He unfortunately passed away on his way to meet him.
However, there were people around him who cared for him with that much affection. Among them, director Isaac cannot be left out.
Nathan smiled at Ian’s confirmation.
“Grandpa will be very happy. I still watch your works whenever I have time. “I bet they see more of yours than mine.”
“As expected, I need to show you a new work as soon as possible.”
“Yes, that too.”
Nothing lasts forever.
Just as the master who represented the New York school became a figure in history, the moment to leave will come one day.
When I heard a line of wrinkles adding to the face that had greeted me and a dry cough coming out of the mouth that used to smile, I felt like the end was coming.
No matter how unfortunate or sad it is, it doesn’t mean that the end won’t come.
‘But before that, we can make more happy memories.’
So that the breakup can be decorated even just a little bit beautifully.
“Okay then, let’s start the final filming that will end with a happy ending.”
Ian clapped his hands and stood up.
***
“Ian.”
“huh?”
Ian turned his head at the call of Rachel, who was sitting next to him.
Blue eyes shining vividly between pure white skin drew soft curves filled with happiness.
“I never thought it would end up like this when we first met. is not it?”
“It did. “I was just a boy at a small restaurant, and you were a girl so timid that it was hard to even have a conversation.”
One became a star with a career that could be described as great, and the other became a famous singer-songwriter in the music industry.
Even Ian, who returned, couldn’t have imagined something like this would happen. I never thought that we would become a married couple and have two precious children.
As they were looking back on their memories, they burst into laughter when they remembered Joy and Rio.
“I don’t know if Charlotte is okay. “They both end up having a lot of accidents because they resemble Ian.”
“…I don’t know about Joy, but I’m not Rio, right?”
“well.”
Rachel burst out laughing as she thought of Rio.
Unlike Joy, he is calm and has never had an accident that requires much attention. At first glance, though.
“Isn’t it just that Joey gets into accidents so often that we don’t have a chance to do that? “That kid is pretty quirky too.”
It’s not normal to make a kindergarten child cry by proving that Santa doesn’t exist.
“I should at least call the kids to see how they’re doing.”
“OK.”
When I think about my children, I miss their faces. Ian, who was trying to contact me, immediately burst into laughter.
“No, I don’t know how I found out and contacted you first.”
I received a video call from Rio just in time.
-dad.
Rio’s chubby-cheeked face filled the screen. Ian, who was smiling happily, soon hardened his expression.
This is because the camera moved and a stranger appeared on the screen.
-This is my first time greeting you like this. Republican Senator Ortiz.
…Republican senator?
Why would you have a child with a Republican you don’t get along with, especially if you’re a Democrat? Ian spoke in a cool tone.
“Why are you with Rio?”
Polite but scary atmosphere.
The other person waved his hand at the feeling that was sharper than expected.
-I have no intention of fighting with Mr. Price. There is no need to show a sharp attitude about old things forever.
Ian, sensing that there was no hostility, lightened the mood and asked.
“Then why are you with Rio?”
-I did it because I had a story to tell because I received help.
…help?
How could a person like a senator get help from a child?
-I received help from this precious item.
A familiar object wide open.
“socks?”
It was also his own sock that disappeared after being put out to be washed.
Why is it such a valuable item in Washington, and especially in the hands of senators?
‘It’s Rio Rio.’
…Dad’s socks are not goods.
my head hurts.
