Chapter Index

    “Has Mr. Reed ever met the actor who played Ignis?”

    “Puuup… !”

    Water that he could not swallow spurted out from his mouth.

    Could it be that he didn’t expect such a shameless question to come out of the person’s mouth?

    The reaction is funnier than expected.

    “Are you okay?”

    “Now, just a moment… ”

    Jackson Reed waved his hand and clucked a few more times, wiped the moisture from his mouth and clothes with the napkin handed to him by the manager, and raised his head.

    “Trigram, it’s okay. The question was a bit sudden… ”

    The look in his eyes as he said that clearly meant, ‘What question are you asking now, since you are that Ignis?’

    ‘Is it because he’s a Hollywood actor? I think you can communicate with just your eyes.’

    The look in his eyes was so clear that I didn’t think he needed any special telepathic powers.

    ‘When I thought about it, it wasn’t a question that I couldn’t ask.’

    It wasn’t a question of the actor’s identity, it was simply a question of whether they had met each other.

    This was a question that did not deviate from Nexus Studio’s guidelines.

    Jackson Reed probably wouldn’t have been so surprised if I hadn’t been the one asking the question.

    I calmly made an expression of apology.

    “Have I gone too far? I may have been a little anxious because it was my first time interviewing a Hollywood actor. Since I’m Korean, I’m curious about heroes with the same Korean background… ”

    “… … .”

    Now his face had an expression of complete absurdity.

    – Hahahahahahahahahaha

    -Spouting water is so funny haha.

    -Maybe it’s because she’s an actress, but her reactions are amazing.

    -Jackson Reed doesn’t have this kind of image haha.

    -I went into it with a very complicated question, haha.

    -When people are embarrassed, they really squirt water.

    [My child has a good personality, but you donated 10,000 won!]

    -I’m sorry the host is not a professional interviewer…

    Viewers seemed to just be happy that Jackson Reed squirted water.

    Currently, the sponsorship voice was set to be output in English.

    Jackson Reed glanced at the monitoring tablet on the table and responded to the sponsorship.

    “Hmm, I like it because it has a more raw feel. It’s been a long time since I felt this way… ”

    “Then take it more slowly… ”

    “No. it’s okay. I was the one who said I could do an interview. Now I know that streaming feels a little different.”

    As he said that, there was a mischievous smile on his lips that I don’t know when it was created.

    Did something stimulate his competitive spirit?

    I grinned, looking at his eyes that were sparkling somewhere.

    The question and answer that followed could be seen as a masquerade ball.

    “You asked if I had ever met the actor who played Ignis, right? yes. I met you.”

    “Oh… ! also! Since he is the main actor, you must have met him. Since there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, I don’t think I can ask about names or anything… Can you tell me what your first impression was?”

    “It’s a first impression… ”

    After muttering that, he turned his gaze into the air as if reminiscing. He even tapped the finger on his thigh.

    He might have glanced at me right next to him at least once, but he showed great patience.

    “It was quite unexpected.”

    “Surprising?”

    “Actually, this was my first time meeting you in person. So I was a little worried… ”

    After saying that, he made eye contact with me and said.

    “As expected, I don’t think there’s any need to worry about acting skills.”

    “I see. If you want to play the role of Nexus Studio’s hero, you have to have good acting skills, right?”

    “And he seemed to have a very playful personality. I often joke around with my fellow actors, but honestly, I was a little embarrassed at first.”

    “Hahaha… ”

    -An actor you’ve never met before?

    -So, is it Ethan?

    -You must have attended the same awards ceremony as Ethan Jang.

    -But even if it’s the same awards ceremony, how many people are there? If we didn’t know each other before, we might never have met.

    -If you have a playful personality, isn’t it Ryan Chen?

    -He could be a rookie.

    -Ugh… There is too little information… !

    Viewers were trying hard to figure out the actor’s identity from Jackson Reed’s words.

    “Still… He seemed like an actor with quite a variety of talents. Honestly, I think they made a good choice of someone who would be a great fit for the role of Ignis. It makes me think that it would be nice if that charm were properly expressed in the movie.”

    “… I see.”

    I thought it would just be a moderately good evaluation, but the compliments went beyond what I expected, so much so that I felt sorry for making them spit out water for no reason.

    “Hmm… However, I know that many fans are worried because the character of Ignis is a hero from the original movie and does not exist in the comics. Mr. Reed, do you have any concerns about that?”

    “I have no worries about that at all.”

    “Really?”

    “You said it was a character that did not exist in the original comics, but it is not true that there are cases where characters that first appeared in the movie were reimported into the comics.”

    “Oh… ”

    I’ve only seen the movies produced by Nexus Studios a few times, but I haven’t delved into the story in that much detail, so this was my first time learning about it.

    ‘I need to study for this right now.’

    If I wasn’t careful, fans could have thought of me as someone who didn’t know the worldview of the movie they were appearing in and wasn’t sincere about the movie. So, after the interview, I should ask Maria to create something like a summary of her world view.

    Even while I was thinking that, Jackson Reed was continuing his words.

    “Many people may not know because it is a supporting role, but it is an important role that appeared in comics in that way. And in some cases, heroes that only existed in games were so popular that comics and dramas were produced.”

    “The world view was more flexible than I expected. I always thought comics were the original.”

    “Most movie fans probably know that. Perhaps, if people’s interest in Ignis increases in this cookie video and a standalone movie is made, Ignis may appear in the comics as well.”

    “That would be great.”

    It’s a comic, I’m not acting myself, but for Ignis to appear there, it would only be possible if I filmed the movie that well.

    It’s natural to think that whatever you do will have good results.

    “There is not much time left until the opening… Are there about two months left?”

    “That’s right.”

    “As far as I know, Ignis’ appearance was decided at the last Comic Con. Then, there must have been quite a bit of time to film the cookie video, but wasn’t the schedule tight?”

    In fact, the cookie video was filmed a few days later, but since the viewers did not know that fact, the question was asked assuming that it had already been filmed.

    “That’s definitely a good question. I guess time was a little tight. However, the main story has already been filmed and edited, and the cookie video is not that long, so there is no problem.”

    -Well, I heard it’s usually 30 seconds to 1 minute at most.

    -I think it would be easy to take pictures just by putting on a costume and having a conversation.

    -I like it best when cookie videos show previews of the next episode or new characters.

    “And some of the movies I filmed had their endings changed a month before they were released. Compared to that, it can be said that two months is a lot of time for cookie videos.”

    “A month before opening? Has there ever been a case like that?”

    “Yes! Really. Of course, I had to choose the ending among the pre-filmed scenes, but I was quite anxious at the time.”

    Jackson Reed nods.

    When it comes to Hollywood movies, I thought they were filmed according to a strict schedule and plan, but in some cases, they wait until the deadline to decide on the ending. Even if it was just a selection of pre-filmed scenes, it was quite an interesting story.

    Of course, the most vivid stories should be heard from people in the industry.

    The interview continued for quite some time after that.

    From then on, questions focused on Steelheart rather than Ignis.

    Although the reason for my visit to Hollywood was the Korean hero Ignis, I couldn’t just talk about Ignis and the cookie video.

    The main character of Steelheart was Steelheart, no matter what anyone said.

    After the interview is over.

    I stopped broadcasting for a moment, then put on my swimsuit and started broadcasting again from the swimming pool in the backyard.

    -Hey

    -Today’s broadcast is very informative.

    -From street magic to interviews with Hollywood actors.

    -Is this a swimming pool healing broadcast?

    -The interview was fun haha

    -There’s already a GIF going around showing Jackson Reed spewing water haha.

    “Ugh, don’t tease me too much. He is a grateful person who allowed me to interview him and lent me his swimming pool.”
