Although I said in a big way if I wanted to appear on the show properly, I had no intention of asking Jackson Reed for an unreasonable favor.
I’m not the kind of person who can create something like an entertainment format on the spot, and I think the fact that he invited me to the villa in the first place didn’t really have any agenda, but was purely a favor, but he put one more condition on it.
‘Even if you ask a Hollywood actor to have a Japanese sensibility, it will only hurt their image and not be very fun.’
Actually, I have no intention of taking on a hero role any time soon.
‘Well, shouldn’t you just be serious when acting?’
Anyway, the content I was thinking of was to conduct an interview while sitting in a suitably formal manner at his villa.
Just like a movie YouTuber.
These days, when promoting a movie, other than interviews with reporters or screenings, other methods are also used, such as appearing on famous YouTube channels.
I’m not a movie YouTuber, but my excuse for visiting Hollywood was because of Steel Heart, so wouldn’t it be fun to get a decent picture?
When I told him that thought, he nodded willingly.
“Good. I’ll be busy promoting it for a little while anyway, so it’s okay to just practice in advance.”
“Really?”
I was the one who made the suggestion first, but I had no choice but to ask back as he accepted it more easily than I expected.
I thought he might seem greedy, but I think this was well within his tolerance.
he asked, looking back at the manager who was shuffling papers in the backseat.
“I don’t have any plans today. Right?”
“My last plan was to visit the studio just now. From now on, it’s your freedom.”
“That’s right.”
Jackson Reed looks at me with a smile like a Hollywood actor.
He said, raising his index finger.
“Of course, interview questions and answers must be reviewed by Nexus Studio in advance.”
“It’s okay because it’s a natural condition. Spoilers should be avoided.”
“Then, could you please turn off the microphone for a moment?”
“Ah, yes.”
-no!!!
-Tell me what you heard.
-Are you bullying the viewers now?
-I can’t help it because of spoilers.
-Turn on the microphone immediately!!
-If this continues, we will all die… !
Viewers cried out when the microphone was turned off, but it could not be helped. We both knew that he wasn’t really angry when he turned off the microphone, but was just complaining.
As if Jackson Reed wasn’t just making empty remarks, he parked his car on the side of the road and took out his smartphone.
“… We met by chance and invited him to our villa. So, I went on the air and asked a few questions about the movie… yes. If you think of it as promotion… no. Of course, I was careful about that. yes. I understand.”
A short phone call that lasted a few minutes.
He turned off the microphone, but I could sense that he was choosing his words carefully, perhaps to guard against an unexpected situation.
Pop~
When he finally ended the call, he looked at me and nodded.
“I expect a good viral effect, so I will give permission.”
“The decision was made quite easily. Did you call someone higher up?”
I asked, thinking of Carl Rogers or Alex Stewart in my head.
“No, I called the PR team. We have already set guidelines for what can be made public, so there is no need to call busy people.”
Listening to his words, it seems that the honorary chairman and current chairman of Nexus Studio were not comfortable partners for him. To me, they are just like grandfathers and uncles, but from his point of view, as his main occupation is this industry, it would be fair to say that he is a very difficult person.
He took the steering wheel again and started driving.
-So you are going to the villa?
-Do you have permission for the interview?
-No indulgence.
-The edited version will be uploaded to YouTube anyway, but I want to watch it live.
In the chat window where the microphone was turned on again, viewers were pouring out questions.
“Yes, the story went well, so I think an interview will be possible. Still, because there are issues with Mr. Reed’s privacy, there may be some mosaics in streaming.”
-Hey
-No, he just came to Hollywood and got all invitations from Jackson Reed.
-Did you really like the magic performance?
-This really happens when you’re on the road…
-But I feel it every time I see it, the host’s English is terrible.
-If Glitch didn’t have real-time subtitles, I wouldn’t have understood a thing haha.
Because it was also the story of Jackson Reed, who was sitting next to him, communication with viewers was done in English. Glitch also had a real-time translation subtitle function, so there was no problem with playing in other languages.
While driving, he glanced at me chatting with viewers and then interrupted.
“I don’t mind if the villa appears on TV.”
“Is that okay?”
Thinking about the conversation we had earlier, it seemed like he cared a lot about his personal life, but this was a surprising comment. That seemed to be the part that showed interest in drone cameras.
However, he shook his head, saying that the villa, which is not his home, is already almost public.
“Anyway, my home address is known to many people. Since we use an expensive security company, we don’t have to worry about thieves or paparazzi. Instead, other houses should definitely be mosaiced.”
“Don’t worry. Oh, the manager can monitor the broadcast later.”
“Yes… ?!”
“Hahaha! That’s a good idea. Did you hear? Don’t be buried in documents too much and take a break.”
“Ahaha… Yeah, that’s right.”
The manager put away the documents with an awkward smile at the sudden task. Although Jackson Reed told him to take a break, from the manager’s perspective, monitoring the broadcast would not mean taking a break.
Regardless of the manager’s reaction, he continued speaking with a confident face.
“And I also really like this villa, so it would be a bit of a waste to cover it up with a mosaic.”
As soon as I and the viewers arrived at the villa, we could see what he meant.
Drurrr
A car entering the driveway of a single-family home with the sound of stepping on crushed stone at the entrance.
Although there is no grand gate like the mansion in the movie, you can see a neatly maintained green lawn and elaborately landscaped flower beds along the fence. It didn’t seem like Olivia’s parents were managing it themselves, and it seemed like the work of a professional.
The manager went to put the car in the garage, and Jackson Reed and I got out of the car and looked around.
“Wow… It’s definitely something to be proud of.”
“There’s nothing here, right? Please come inside.”
I followed his guidance and went inside.
As soon as I entered, what I saw was a spacious and bright living room. Thanks to the natural light coming in through the large windows, the interior was already bright enough just by closing the curtains without having to turn on any lights.
Even at a glance, I could tell that unusually expensive materials were used from the floor to the walls and ceiling.
‘If you ask me the price of the furniture, will it seem too expensive?’
There were sculptures, movie posters, and paintings on display throughout the house, but this was the first time I had seen these things displayed in a private home rather than an art museum.
I felt like I could get a glimpse into his artistic taste.
Viewers were busy leaving exclamations all over the chat.
The climax was right in the backyard.
The villa’s backyard seemed to be the perfect space to relax, with a swimming pool, lounge chairs, and parasols. Thanks to the trees planted along the fence, privacy was completely protected even if you went swimming without any clothes on.
Overall, the atmosphere was a little different from Olivia’s house.
Both were single-family homes in wealthy areas where housing prices were very expensive, but while Olivia’s house felt closer to the city center, this one felt a little more natural. It seemed like everything was green thanks to the lawns and lush trees spread out here and there.
‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to decorate the house like this, wouldn’t it?’
The house I’m in now isn’t bad, but I’m not particularly interested in interior design, so I couldn’t help but feel a little empty compared to this place.
If Maria’s equipment hadn’t been crammed into the basement, it would have looked like a messy workshop.
‘… ‘For now, let’s leave this part to Maria later and start broadcasting first.’
After the interview, I went back inside the house with the idea of going for a swim.
Wow~
Just then, an email from Nexus Studio arrived on my smartphone.
It was an email containing questions that could be asked and questions that should not be asked.
After briefly familiarizing myself with them, I launched the camera and sat down in the interview seat that the manager had prepared in the living room. The sight of him even preparing water for fear of being thirsty was not something he had seen in one or two interviews.
I looked at Jackson Reed, who lifted his glass and quenched his thirst, and wondered what to say first.
‘The first question should be something impressive.’
“Has Mr. Reed ever met the actor who played Ignis?”
“Puuup… !”
Water that he could not swallow spurted out from his mouth.
