Talent Absorption From the Age of 0

Chapter 172 . [Black Leopard 2]

As soon as Eun-woo woke up in the morning, she went to the room where Chemigisha was.

Kemi Gisha was sharing her room with seven of her peers the same age.

“Kemigisha.”

Kemi Gisha, who got up from her seat, looked at Eun-woo and smiled.

“did you sleep well? Eunwoo?”

“Yeah, Nya too. Let’s go in the morning.”

Eunwoo grabbed Chemigisha’s hand tightly.

“It’s okay to eat here.”

“Come with me.”

Eunwoo wanted to feed Chemigisha more.

‘If you eat here as a group, you won’t be able to eat a lot of delicious food. And for lunch today, Director Chadwick said he was coming.’

Compared to the five years of longing for Kemigisha, this week was a short time.

‘After filming is over, I will come to see you again.’

Eunwoo and Chemigisha held hands together and went to the restaurant.

Baek Soo-hee was cutting mangoes.

“Are you sleeping well? snow.”

“did you sleep well? Wasalla?”

“Yes. [Watatta Forever]”

Eunwoo followed the words of Wasalla, the main character of [Black Leopard].

He made an X in front of his chest and spread his legs wide.

Chemigisha also imitated Eunwoo’s movements.

“[Watatta Forever].”

As if Su-hee Baek was curious, she asked Kemi Gisha.

“Did you see [Black Leopard] too, Chemigisha?”

“I saw it twice. It’s so fun, but the teachers say you only have to watch it occasionally.”

Linda, who was preparing breakfast, added her words.

“The kids really like it. He’s a black hero. It’s a story about white people, like children’s books and TV shows, but it’s a movie in which a black man is the main character. And there, Africa is not the land of sorrow.”

Baek Soo-hee nodded her head as if she understood.

“I hope that one day Africa will become a prosperous country like in the movie, and people will be happy. Even without activists like me, children can be happy. When [Black Leopard 2] is released, I will show it to my kids first.”

“Would the children be surprised to find out that Eunwoo appeared?”

“Yes. Today is Eunwoo’s departure day, so I’ll tell the children later.”

When Kemi Gisha heard Linda and Baek Soo-hee’s story, her expression darkened.

“Are you leaving today? Eunwoo?”

“Mia. I don’t know what to say.”

She hesitated to say it several times, but it was not easy to get her to say goodbye to her delighted Kemi Gisha once again.

‘But it’s Chemigisha. If you make my dreams come true, I can do more for you. So please wait for me.’

Chemigisha didn’t like Eunwoo’s expression darkening.

“Are you Wachala?”

“Yes, Baby Wasalla.”

“cool. Take a good picture.”

Do you want to be a great character in a movie?

Although she is sad, Kemi Gisha thought that Eun-woo should be let go.

Gildong came into the kitchen with ramen noodles.“Would you like some morning ramen? They also have jjajang ramen.”

Baek Soo-hee and Lee Tae-seok chose ramen, and Linda, Eun-woo, and Chemigisha chose jajang ramen.

Gil-dong poured water into the pot and started to boil the ramen.

Linda asked Lee Tae-seok.

“Are you leaving only Gildong and Eunwoo today?”

“Yes, Suhee Baek and I decided to stay and do more volunteer work. Eunwoo will also come back here after filming is over.”

“You don’t know how reassuring the bride is when she comes.”

Gildong finished the ramen and brought it to the table.

On the table were the fruits set by Baek Soo-hee and the chashu and corn prepared by Linda.

“Good night.”

The meal started with Eun-woo’s hearty greeting.

Father Tae-seok Lee and Linda closed their eyes, prayed, and then started eating.

“It’s good to eat ramen after a long time. This is the taste of Korea.”

Baek Soo-hee ate ramen and admired it.

What the hell is this black, squiggly food? Kemigisha, who thought so, was surprised by the unexpected taste of Jajang Ramen.

How in the world did food like this exist?

Chemigisha called out to Gildong.

“More, please.”

Gildong handed over the leftover Jajang Ramen to Chemigisha.

Eunwoo looked at Chemigisha and smiled.

‘The reaction is similar to when I first ate Jajang Ramen. When you go to Korea, there are many things that taste better than Jajang Ramen. There’s chicken, there’s pizza, there’s ice cream, and there’s macarons.

Chemigisha, one day I will take you to Korea.’

Eun-woo smiled while drawing the future.

After a pleasant breakfast, Eunwoo and Gildong were packing their luggage.

Chemigisha came to Eunwoo’s room.

“Eunwoo. this.”

What Chemigisha brought out was a doll carved out of a small tree.

“What is this?”

“I’ve made. Whenever I miss you, I made this while thinking of you. When I see you, I keep thinking of you. It’s made of lucky wood. A tree near the village.”

Eunwoo burst into tears as she looked at the wooden doll.

‘thanks. It’s Chemigisha. You haven’t forgotten me either. I didn’t tell you, but you recognize me too.’

Eunwoo said while hugging Chemigisha tightly.

“Thank you. Chemigisha. I also have you brother. we are not nami we are brothers After filming is over, I will definitely come to see you.”

Chemie Gisha nodded her head as her eyes filled with tears.

***

At lunchtime, Chadwick drove to pick up Eunwoo.

Eun-woo got into Chadwick’s car, holding the doll that Chemigisha gave her.

Gildong loaded his luggage into Chadwick’s car.

“I’m sweating profusely. I hate the heat in Africa.”

I only put a few suitcases in the car, but Gil-dong’s body was wet with sweat.

“I’ll ride in the back seat. It smells like sweat.”

Gildong sat in the back seat and Eunwoo sat in the passenger seat.

“Did you mean to bring a baby car seat? I had a short thought.”

Gildong was upset that Eunwoo was just sitting in the passenger seat.

Gildong said to Eunwoo.

“Eunwoo, ask Chadwick if there is any place in Africa that sells baby car seats.”

Eunwoo asked Chadwick.

“Chadwick, do you have any advice on selling baby car seats nearby?”

“Maybe if we go near the capital city of Lusaka or near the tourist attraction Victoria Falls. I’ll ask the filming staff.”

Chadwick asked the film crew on the phone.

“You said you would save me. Let’s just go to the set.”

Chadwick’s car left for the set.

“Chadwick, what is the most important thing to Baby Wasalla?”

“The most important thing?”

Chadwick had a hard time understanding Eunwoo’s question.

“You’re talking about your sensitivity.”

“Ah.”

Chadwick was startled by Eunwoo’s in-depth question.

‘It’s great to ask the director’s intentions. Duke, after all, you have eyes for people.’

Chadwick began to explain his intentions to Eunwoo.

“Duke and I felt uncomfortable seeing the lives of black people through the eyes of white people. [Black Leopard] is a film made to portray an independent black hero. Not a poor and needy country, but a country that can rise on its own.

I wanted to paint a message that we black people can change the world too.

Of course, it’s sad that this is still just a fantasy.

But I think one day the lives of black people in Africa will be different.”

“I think so too. I’m building a school in Africa and I’m sorry. I hope I can live happily ever after.”

“Yes, the most important thing is independence. There are limits to what other people can help.”

“The film is doing well, so it’s a school, and they continue to help and help.”

The moment he heard those words, a shiver came over Chadwick’s body.

After Duke left, Chadwick was very lonely.

It is because there is no one who will recognize and support his thoughts.

But Eun-woo appeared.

In Chadwick’s eyes, Eunwoo began to look like a colleague who would dream his dream with him.

***

When we arrived at the filming site, many of the staff greeted Eunwoo.

Eunwoo was surprised that most of the staff were black.

Chadwick said as if he had read Eunwoo’s thoughts.

“Are there too many black people? Don’t think I was racist. Since the film is being shot in Africa, it was more advantageous to hire local people than to bring in staff from Hollywood.”

“I’m not saying anything.”

“Yeah, there are a lot of black staff among the staff from Hollywood. But it was just that many of my long-time co-workers were black.”

“I’m not saying anything.”

Chadwick laughed.

“Yeah, he doesn’t say anything, but behind that innocent expression there is a magical power that makes people divulge secrets.”

Gildong informs Eunwoo that the makeup artist has arrived.

Eunwoo and Gildong went to the dressing room.

The makeup artist burst into laughter at Eunwoo’s cute appearance.

“It’s sad that I have to hide this cute face.”

Gildong asked in a worried tone.

“How long will it take? Eunwoo is still young.”

“I decided to use the makeup and CG together, so it will take less time than other makeup, but it will still take over an hour.”

“Eunwoo, are you okay?”“Are you open? 🥺🥺 I have to be a mature Wasala.”

“Eunwoo is wonderful. My son is a year older than you and he insists on watching TV every day.”

“I’m just like this.”

Eunwoo said while thinking of Chemigisha.

The makeup artist said to Eunwoo.

“Eunwoo. What’s that wooden doll in his hand? If you want to put on makeup, you have to let it go.”

“This is precious. You must take it with you.”

“All day? Can’t you put it down for a second?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

“Then ask the director and ask if he can put it into the movie as a setting. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to hold it all the way through filming.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Eunwoo thought to ask Chadwick if he could modify the script a bit.

“Hey, how about making a necklace out of something like this?”

“Geez. that is.”

Gildong’s mind became complicated. It would not have been difficult for him to make a necklace in Korea, but he did not know how to make a necklace here.

The biggest problem is that I can’t speak English well.

Did he mean to ask Baek Soo-hee to come with him?

Gildong regretted leaving Eunwoo and the two alone.

After hearing Eun-woo’s words, the makeup artist asked Eun-woo.

“Do you want to make a necklace?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

“Ask the staff here. There must be someone who can do it. If it’s okay to make a necklace out of leather straps, here’s the leather straps left in the dressing room.”

The makeup artist applied black skin to Eunwoo’s legs.

Eunwoo was excited and shouted.

“It’s okay to become Wasalla. exciting. Will I also have superpowers?”

“You already have superpowers. A superpower that melts people’s hearts. You’re so cute, who wouldn’t love you?”

The makeup artist asked another staff member to attach a small ring to Eunwoo’s wooden doll.

“Come on, that’s it.”

A necklace with a leather strap attached to the ring was completed.

“No.”

Eunwoo was excited and shouted.

The precious necklace that Chemigisha gave was hung around Eunwoo’s neck.

After an hour of makeup, Eunwoo was surprised to see herself standing in front of the mirror.

“It’s a real wasala gata.”

“Is not it? Makeup is a science these days.”

Gil-dong, who watched, also raised his thumb.

“Eunwoo, you look so black.”

His white skin was covered with black scales.

The makeup artist continued.

“The black scales, the symbol of Wachala. Thanks to this, Wasalla can transform into the same person she sees for the first time. Not only humans, but animals as well. It’s a secret of Wachala that the world doesn’t know.”

Eunwoo liked the fact that Wasalla had a secret.

‘Because I have many secrets.’

Then the cinematographer entered the dressing room.

“Are you done with makeup? According to local staff, Victoria Falls will have the most water in the three hours from now. They say we should start filming now.”

Eunwoo clenched his fist tightly.
