Chapter Index

    Jay Lennox’s assault and drug case.

    If an actor had caused this incident, the movie would have been completely ruined, but the person who caused the accident was the movie’s screenwriter.

    As Minho thought, it is a risk that can be easily overcome if you respond well afterwards.

    Nexus Studio responded quickly.

    First, they canceled the contract with Jay Lennox and deleted the supporting characters he had added. The decision wasn’t difficult because the amount of time they appeared didn’t fit the story and could be seen as breaking the spirit of the movie in some ways.

    He also made a large donation to a foundation that runs campaigns to prevent domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual violence and to protect victims, and to a foundation that operates programs for drug addiction treatment and recovery.

    This clearly shows that they have no intention of condoning the crimes committed by Jay Lennox.

    Thanks to this, even though there were people who criticized him, public opinion about Nexus Studio was not as bad as expected.

    -Typically a person who has accepted the bad parts of Hollywood.

    -I know this person. This is the guy who changed my favorite character into a black person.

    Do you hate black people? Are you a racist?

    I hate hypocritical PC people like you and Jay Lennox.

    -You deleted the part he participated in, but there is no problem with the movie’s story at all? Just how incompetent was he?

    ㄴ It looks like they added a gay and lesbian romance.

    Oh my god… Homosexual romance in Steelheart? There won’t be another combination that doesn’t go well together. Steelheart must remain a playboy

    Well, it’s not that Steelheart became gay, but they added another character. I completely agree with what you said.

    -Hahaha, all the so-called awake guys are like that.

    -I just can’t understand. Are PCs teaching us that it’s okay to hit your partner and take drugs at parties?

    -I hope Steel Heart doesn’t suffer any damage from this incident. It hasn’t even been released yet, but I already want to see the sequel.

    -Nexus Studio reacted wisely. I quickly canceled the contract and even made a donation.

    Because it involved the PC, which is receiving a lot of social attention, the response from public opinion was also enthusiastic.

    Due to the case of Jay Lennox, a strong PC supporter, people who were opposed to PC and those who defended it were mixed and debated on the Internet.

    In the first place, it was not the lead actor Jackson Reed or the director’s fault that caused the accident, but the fault of a screenwriter whom the general public would never have heard of.

    Perhaps there was a lot of time left until the release of Steel Heart and the public’s attention was not focused on it, or if it had happened during another ordinary film production process, so many media outlets would not have paid attention to it.

    At best, it would have been nothing more than a few lines of Hollywood trash talk or a news article.

    Due to Nexus Studio’s resolute response, people’s attention quickly shifted to the newly thrown bait.

    This goes to Minho, the actor who plays the role of the new hero.

    Nexus Studio sent a press release to the media company with which it had the most friendly relationship, and the media company wrote an article about Minho, who played Ignis, and posted it on its main page.

    [Exclusive report: A real hero who appears in a hero movie?]

    The reported information quickly spread to fans around the world, including North America, who were waiting for the release of Steel Heart.

    In the process, the article was translated and cited in numerous languages, but the content was all the same.

    The content emphasized Minho’s heroic actions.

    In Korea, when a fire broke out in a house due to an oxygen tank explosion at a nearby military base, an elementary school student who was unable to evacuate jumped and hugged him. While enjoying water play in Saipan, he rescued Olivia, who had fallen into the water and lost consciousness due to a squall. When she was kidnapped, he didn’t hesitate at all and attacked on his bike, even risking a shootout to bring her back safely.

    It was like that.

    Nexus Studios planned to use Minho’s trump card to turn this issue into a marketing opportunity and improve the film’s tarnished image. Although he could only be seen in cookie videos, Steel Heart was the first movie to introduce the hero Ignis.

    It’s not strange to be called a hero for just one of the things listed, but strangely enough, Minho has often been involved in incidents wherever he goes.

    Considering that after those incidents, they covered their faces and dealt with secret societies, there was a lot more that happened.

    It was an unbelievable article, but since it included evidence provided by Nexus Studio, no one criticized it as fake. Except for Olivia’s new image, almost everything Minho had done remained intact.

    -Oh my god. Is this real?

    -I was sick of my pants when I saw the video of him walking out of the ocean with a woman in his arms. oh my god… He looks like Ocean Man

    ㄴ The scene where the sky cleared and the sun shined was the highlight.

    -How about subduing a kidnapper shooting a pistol? Are you from a special forces unit like Hero Judgment?

    ㄴ They say all healthy Korean men go to the military. That’s probably what he learned from there.

    ㄴ That’s a bit of a fantasy, but… In this case, it might not be wrong.

    -Did you say Ignis? Is this a teaser video for the new hero?

    -Not all of those videos are movies… I can’t help but admire it. Maybe there really are heroes in real life.

    -Let’s say that saving a child from a building on fire and saving a person from drowning are the same. That’s something you can often see on the news. But an ordinary person barged into a den where a criminal with a gun was located and rescued a hostage? This is what America needs right now, a hero like this.

    I wish it was at least in my neighborhood

    B I agree. America is so dangerous these days. It was not long ago that a terrorist group I had never heard of blew up a securities company building.

    -Minho? he is a real hero

    People were excited about Minho’s story that went viral.

    Of course, there were people who already knew him, but the number was relatively small.

    Among them, most of them were people who had only briefly heard of Olivia’s name when the previous case became a hot topic.

    Nexus Studio did not stop there and actively used the interview video of Minho and Jackson Reed.

    This is a video where Minho secretly visited Hollywood to sign a contract, and during the process, he happened to run into Jackson Reed, who was going to be filming with him, and interviewed him.

    At the time, the structure was that a streamer who was lucky enough to be invited to a Hollywood actor’s villa would do an interview for the movie, but now that the truth has been revealed, fans burst out laughing at Minho pretending not to know about the role of Ignis and asking questions.

    -wow. Look at them pretending not to know and conducting interviews. I don’t have to worry about my acting skills.

    ㄴ Rather, Jackson looks embarrassed, right?

    -We met by chance on the streets of Hollywood and even interviewed each other. Is the interviewer really a hero? You’re crazy

    What are the chances of that happening? It must be directing.

    B No. Jackson officially said that it was really a coincidence that they met on social networks.

    -I am so proud that America has such brave people.

    ㄴ You didn’t watch the news properly, buddy. not american

    you ?

    ㄴ He’s Korean, not American. That guy who played Ignis

    B But… Your pronunciation is better than mine?

    ㄴ That’s you…

    -Minho is perfectly suited to the role of Ignis. Have you all seen the street magic he does? There will definitely be more great scenes in the movie.

    .

    .

    .

    -I’m sorry about this incident. I wasn’t originally planning on releasing it this way… I heard from Jackson that Jay approached you too, right? I don’t know if I said some nonsense to get you into trouble. If you need compensation at the company level, please tell me anything.

    Carl Rogers’ voice came from beyond the smartphone.

    He had contacted me directly to apologize for selling my name to resolve this situation.

    “It’s okay. Because we already agreed that it could be made public. I haven’t suffered any particular damage.”

    When I provided information through Awaken, Nexus Studio asked for my consent to reveal that it was I who played the role of Ignis. I willingly allowed it.

    I’m not a full-time actor who has my next project lined up so I have to pay attention to the timing of when articles are posted, nor am I the type of person who doesn’t want to be known and has reclusive tendencies.

    If I had that kind of personality, I wouldn’t have been a streamer in the first place and I wouldn’t have taken on the role of Ignis.

    However, I was just a little disappointed that I couldn’t see the shocked reaction of my viewers who saw the cookie video when the movie was released.

    Rather, it was Steel Heart and its production company, Nexus Studio, that were in a difficult position.

    “I’m glad that interest in Steel Heart has actually increased. There should be a reward in revealing a secret that was kept tightly closed.”

    -Don’t worry. When the movie is released, we will be able to see something that will shock the audience.

    Carl Rogers said confidently.

    ‘Well, I think I’m already shocked enough.’

    Thinking that way, I looked at the screen of the smartphone where the call ended.

    There were a lot of missed and messenger notifications floating there.
