‘If I think about it, I wore a suit a few times when I went to kill members of a secret society, but I didn’t really reveal my name. ‘I never left any witnesses.’
-That’s not it. There are witnesses.
‘what?’
I was startled by Maria’s sudden words and asked back.
‘I left a witness?’
While I was going around killing members of the secret society, I only appeared in front of the person I was supposed to kill. When dealing with these guys, I always used my energy to avoid getting other people involved.
I completely excluded situations where my identity could be exposed.
And if my image was captured on CCTV, there was no way Maria wouldn’t have told me.
But now, all of a sudden, there was a witness.
‘What are you talking about?’
-The thieves I saved in Nevada last time saw the master in a suit. Although I didn’t mention the name Ignis.
‘thief? ah… ‘
There were some people that came to mind when I listened to Maria.
This is a story about a time when we moved to deal with mercenaries who accepted a request posted on the darknet with a preemptive attack.
The thieves Maria was talking about were the guys she met back then.
It looks like a shabby garage from the outside, but when I go inside, I remember a hideout lined with high-end computer equipment used for hacking and sports cars with incredible specs.
Rather than being mercenaries, these guys were guys like Hong Gil-dong who stole from rich people who made money through illegal methods. They somehow reminded me of Baek Geon from Tuseonhyeophaengrok, so they killed the one who smelled of blood and spared the rest.
The reason he accepted the request in the first place seemed to have been his own decision.
I obviously didn’t reveal my identity at the time, but I did come out wearing a suit.
So, if I appear in a movie wearing an Ignis suit, they might recognize me.
But I shrugged.
‘But I guess that would be okay?’
-really?
‘Anyway, the costume I’ll use in the movie will be different from the suit I’m using now, right? There will be a little bit of variation.’
It’s a design I have a lot of affection for since it was made by the Lee sisters, but a better design could come out if it were professionally produced by Nexus Studio, which has a long history in costume production.
Although I was attached to the existing design with red lines on a black background, I had no intention of sticking with this look even if I found a design I liked better.
In the first place, my suit was for combat, so it boasted impervious defense even when hit by guns or swords, but it was unnecessary to wear that suit until filming.
‘And those thieves… ‘
-It was a team called Phantom.
‘okay. Phantom. Seeing as how they have kept their mouths shut so far, I think they will continue to remain quiet in the future. If he loses his mind and spreads rumors, he can follow the warning he gave back then.’
Even if the rumor spreads, there is no evidence, so it will only end up reducing their own reputation.
Since I didn’t know where their hideout was, I could open the door at any time with the key and go there.
-Do not worry. Because I’m keeping an eye on you.
There was no need to worry as there was strong support from Maria.
“I suggested this, but an audition is still necessary. Although the rest of the elements are obviously great, the most important thing is the acting. but… ”
Carl Rogers seemed to sense that my suspicions about him had eased somewhat, and he added quickly. As he is older, I should say he has experience, and I got that feeling from the way he quickly sensed my mood.
He paused for a moment, then looked over my whole body and let out a low laugh.
“Huhuhu… I think you don’t have to worry about that.”
“What do you mean you don’t have to worry? I don’t really have any acting experience.”
“If I were to wear the costume properly, I think I would be the Ignis I imagined.”
‘Anyway, your wit is at the level of a ghost. If you are the former chairman of such a large film company, should you do something like this?’
Just looking at it, it was a face that reminded me of myself wearing Ignis’ hero suit.
After his abilities exceeded a certain level, he did not notice any physical changes, such as growing taller or gaining muscle mass. So it was natural that my current body shape was the same as the one he saw at Comic Con.
“While there are actors who perfectly portray a role with outstanding acting skills, there are also actors who blend into the role and become the character itself. From what I see, you seem to be in the latter case.”
Regardless of Carl Rogers’ analysis, the more I listened to his proposals, the less I wanted to reject them.
Anyway, if I’m going to make Ignis appear as a movie character, there’s no way I can’t do it myself, right?
Ignis is also my other name.
Even if it was a movie, I would feel bad if the character with my name on it appeared in a strange way, but if I thought about acting myself, I wouldn’t have to worry about that, so I think it would be okay.
-Master, have you ever tried acting?
‘no. ‘I’ve never had one.’
-Eh… ? Would you mind?
‘What do you think? In the end, shouldn’t you just play me?’
He spoke confidently to Maria, who was shocked.
Certainly, I have never performed a proper act in my life. At best, I would have performed on stage at a kindergarten school performance when I was young.
I don’t remember ever having a special role. All I did was dance a little and stand in the background.
But if you look at it from a slightly different perspective, the story is different.
‘Aren’t the things I did while traveling under a false identity the same as acting?’
Although I have never really acted in a movie or on stage, I have quite a bit of experience in survival acting. Because I’ve never had my cover exposed.
Well, it may have been due to the effect of the [Placebo ID Card] and the existence of the ticket rather than my outstanding acting skills.
People who didn’t know that wouldn’t have been able to guess what secret I was hiding even if I looked awkward.
Maria, who looked worried, also stopped trying to stop me when she heard those thoughts.
-If you want to try that hard… It’s okay to do whatever the master wants.
“Good. I think it will be a good experience. When can I audition?”
When he accepted Carl Rogers’ proposal, his face was filled with joy. I guess they really wanted me to take on the role of Ignis.
“Is it true? If it’s okay with you, we can start tomorrow. The script needed to play the role will be delivered to you on a separate, secure tablet.”
“Tablet?”
“Yes. Tell my secretary your accommodations and she will be there in a few hours. You must receive it in person, so don’t forget.”
‘I could just print it out on paper or send a file, but they give me a tablet. Is this Hollywood scale?’
-Nexus Studio tends to be particularly sensitive to script leaks. The movie does not follow the story of the original comic, but many times slight changes are made or omitted, so people struggle to find out the story.
It didn’t really make much sense to me since I have a Maria who can pierce through modern security systems like a sheet of paper, but if this was their way of doing things, I wasn’t going to complain too much.
But there was still one question left unanswered.
“But I have one question.”
“Yes. Ask me anything.”
“I said I would audition, but I don’t know if it’s okay to proceed this way. Didn’t ‘Steel Heart’ already finish filming? From what I heard, the release date has already been set.”
The question is whether there is enough time to film the role I will be entering.
In response to my concerns, Carl Rogers waved his hand as if there was no problem.
“The editing of the main story has already been completed, so all I have to do is add a cookie to the end. The scene you’re about to appear in is the cookie video, so there’s no reason for it to take long. There is no need for much post-production since all you have to do is film a scene of about 30 seconds on an already built set. And above all… Actually, I was still looking for an actor because I didn’t like it.”
“Then what would you have done if I had refused?”
The cookie video was a concept that Nexus Studio always insisted on. Even if I had turned down the role, the cookie video would have ended up being included, so I don’t know what they were planning on doing.
“In that case, I would have used a different actor and had Ignis’ silhouette appear at the end temporarily.”
“It sounds like the schedule is going to be extremely tight.”
“In that part, you have to trust the production team’s abilities. Don’t worry too much. The production staff at our studio are all talented people.”
For some reason, I felt like I could hear the production crew blaming Carl Rogers.
