Talent Absorption From the Age of 0

Chapter 73 . my mother decides me (5)

The Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles, USA, was crowded with movie officials from early hours.

Lucy, a film newspaper reporter, was also standing there with a pounding heart.

‘Who will be the finalists for this year’s Academy Awards? Who will receive Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director?’

Lucy’s eyes twinkled, waiting for the chair of the Academy Executive Committee to appear.

Chairman Noah came out holding a piece of paper with the candidate written on it.

“This year, our film industry was prosperous. The names on the paper I’m holding here prove it. First of all, it is nominated for Best Picture.”

Lucy was jotting down nominations for Best Picture with the recording function on her cell phone turned on.

‘Time goes backwards in Manhattan, Holidays, the attack on Pearl Harbor, save Private.

It didn’t go too far from my expectations.’

Following the Best Picture award, it was time to announce the nominations for the Best Supporting Actor award after the nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Director were announced.

‘The great voice Eunwoo Lee? Who is this actor? Are you Asian?

To be honest, I couldn’t find all the movies that came out this year because I was busy.

If you are Asian, you can be nominated, but it will be difficult to become the finalist.’

Lucy just wrote down his name and spilled it.

Hollywood actor Gregory had just heard his name called out of Noah’s mouth.

‘You’ve finally been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.’

Gregory felt his 30 years of acting career flashing through his mind.

He was a child star who had already won all the wealth and fame in the world when he was 7 years old.

‘The thief Santa I met at Christmas was really popular. That movie comes out every Christmas. Because there has never been a film in which a child actor has played a lead role that has attracted so many audiences.’

However, Gregory’s life after that was all downhill.

‘Too much money was an issue. When I suddenly started making a lot of money, my parents quit their jobs, fought each other over more money, and eventually divorced.

Being so lonely as a teenager, I started taking drugs and couldn’t turn my life around.

I had to spend 10 years of my life just trying to get out of my drug addiction.’

In his late twenties, who managed to come to his senses, but his acting career was cut off, no director wanted to rewrite him.

‘Everyone was embarrassed about me. To the public, I am still remembered as the protagonist of the thief Santa I met at Christmas.

Besides, the image of a drug addict created after that also became a stumbling block for me to act.’

Gregory hated paparazzi who dug into his private life.

‘It was really hard from starting again from the small station until I got to this position.’

Tears flowed from Gregory’s eyes.

‘It’s okay. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. If I win the Best Supporting Actor award this time, my deceased father will be delighted.’

Gregory remembered his father, who passed away last year.

‘Father, I’m sorry I opened my heart so late. When he was alive, I only resented him, but now I miss my father. But after that, he didn’t show up well in my dreams. Could you please show up when I receive this award?’

Gil-dong receives a phone call from Tae-hyun.

“Gildong-ah, you have a business to go to America.”

“America? again?”

Gildong was surprised.

‘Is it possible to go back to America, where I first went, thanks to Eunwoo’s hair loss? You did a good job as Eunwoo’s manager. Our world star class is true.’

Gildong cleared his voice and said.“Brother, where else did you get a call saying you wanted to cast our Eunwoo?”

“No, it’s much better than that. You have to buy me food.”

“Is it rice? No, my brother has a higher salary than me, so why do I have to buy food? You should buy it.”

“I have to say it now, but you became Eunwoo’s manager because I recommended you to the CEO. If I hadn’t recommended it, I wouldn’t have been able to go to America.”

“Brother, you didn’t say that to me. So, you mean that the reason I couldn’t be a girl group manager was because my brother recommended me?”

“okay. So you’re going to the Academy Awards right now, aren’t you?”

“Academy Awards? Are you Eunwoo?”

Gildong was surprised by the word “academy”.

‘Oh my God, it’s an academy. It’s not about going into Hollywood, it’s about an academy. Our Eunwoo, who goes to the academy at the age of four. Eunwoo-ya, it’s really lucky that I met you.’

Gildong said.

“I’ll buy you some rice. brother. If I get an award, I will buy you rice every day.”

“It’s over. It was only once. It’s not like I’m going to eat it every day. Eun-Woo was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the movie with a great voice. I don’t know if I’ll win the award or not, but in fact, it’s the first time for a Korean actor to be nominated, so the CEO said that it would already have a great meaning.”

“sure. sure. Best Supporting Actor? But it’s not the best child role, but the best supporting actor?”

“The Child Actor Award has been abolished from the Academy since 1960. There are no child actor awards at the Academy.”

“Then you mean our Eun-woo was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award after competing with those great grown-up actors?”

“okay. It’s very rare. If you do, will you become the youngest actor in the history of the Academy to win the Best Supporting Actor award?”

“Hey hey!”

Gildong was excited and jumped in place.

“Ahh.”

Taehyung was startled by the sudden sound of a moan coming over the phone.

“What are you doing? Gil Dong Kim? Kim Gil-dong.”

Gil-dong was excited and jumped so high that he banged his head against the ceiling.

‘Oh, it hurts like death. I’m happy like I’m dying, but it hurts like I’m dying.’

Gildong calmed down and answered.

“I jumped too high and hit the ceiling. My body is cast iron, but I’m glad I didn’t have a hole in the ceiling.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. It’s not a happy thing. A certain manager in Korea is going to the Academy Awards. I envy you too Had I known this would happen, I would have been Eunwoo’s manager. Do not recommend it.”

“I will buy you rice every day. manager. Then I will go to tell you this good news.”

Gildong was lulalala even sitting in the driver’s seat.

‘If Eun-woo wins the prize, I have to give presents to my daycare friends, to my taekwondo friends, and to Myung-seok. The friends I met at that time in the pediatric cancer ward do not know their contact information, so should I send a gift to my friends who are currently hospitalized?

Oh, there will be a lot of gifts.

Then how about it? It’s called academy.

If you follow the Academy Awards, who will you meet?

Oh, can we even meet that sexy actress Charles?

Maybe when I brag to my friends, everyone wants to get autographs, so take just one picture and come along, right?’

He was a Gildong full of dreams in many ways.

The bell rang.

‘Who is it?’

Eunwoo went near the intercom, but his key did not reach.

‘I can’t reach the child. Stay still. Where’s the chair?’

Changhyun pressed the intercom and said.

“It’s Gildong. Come on.”

“Wow, Gil-dong is cute.”

As Gil-dong opened the front door and entered, Eun-woo clinged to Gil-dong’s legs.

“How have you been? Our world star. My brother has brought me good news today.”

Gil-dong hugged Eun-woo and set the horse on fire.

“Eunwoo is the best in the world.”

“Haha, I’m dizzy. It’s really high.”

When he was on the 190cm tall Gildong, Eunwoo felt like he was 2 meters high.

“Please go to the ceiling.”

Gil-dong hugged Eun-woo and dropped him off.

Young-tak and Chang-hyeon, who were having dinner, greeted Gil-dong.

“Brother, are you eating?”

“Did you eat?”

“Hey, you know you can always eat again, don’t you? My stomach is great.”

“Since we only need to cook rice, sit here.”

Gildong said as he sat down at the table.

“It’s different because it’s the restaurant bosses’ tables. The smell of mackerel kimchi stew is an art. I will enjoy this food.”

Gildong grabbed his chopsticks and began to inhale the food militantly.

Young Tak stood up from his seat and said.

“Eat a lot. It’s my turn to cook today. Eunwoo will eat all the cheese rolls, so I will make a new one.”

“The mackerel and kimchi stew. It doesn’t smell fishy and it’s just right. brother. Young-tak hyung’s cooking skills aren’t normal either.”

Changhyun answered with chopsticks.

“Young-tak is also good at cooking. In the past, Young-tak mainly cooked the dishes. It’s because I can’t cook.”

Gildong said in surprise.

“Were there times when Changhyun-nim couldn’t cook? He knew I was good at cooking from the moment I was born.”

“I wasn’t able to do it originally, but I think I’ve gotten better since Eunwoo was born.”

Young-tak turned the pancake over and added.

“right. It’s kinda weird. Obviously I couldn’t cook. I’ve been doing well since Eunwoo was born. To be precise, when I sold things at that goblin market, I did well from then on.”

Gildong continued.

“Eunwoo is blessed in many ways. Oh, look at my mind. I forgot to eat. I came today to inform you that Eunwoo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.”

Young-tak was startled and threw the egg he was going to roll into the trash.

Changhyun said as he dropped his chopsticks on the table.

“Academy?”

“Yes, I am the youngest nominee for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Let’s go Eunwoo.”

Gildong said without stopping to use his chopsticks.

Only then did Young Tak find the eggs in the trash can instead of the bowl.

“My eggs.”

Young Tak said while crying.

“It’s a pity, but I have to throw it away. Ha, I was so surprised to hear about Eunwoo.”

Eunwoo thought.

‘Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. It’s a good opportunity. After Baek Soo-hee’s older sister, I have to make my grandfather’s side as well.’***

Eun-woo was looking for the phone number of Baek In-soo’s tailor shop.

“Dog-meong (I searched for a phone number. It’s 487-197○. Go ahead and call.)”

“Ahhh.”

Eun-woo dialed Baek-soo’s number on her home phone.

“It’s a Hamilton Dressmaker.”

“Lower. It’s me. Eunwoo.”

Baek In-soo was startled by the youthful voice coming through the receiver.

“Are you Eunwoo?”

The white man thought.

‘He said he was only four years old. He never thought that Eunwoo would call me.’

Eunwoo continued.

“Lower. I’m going to Iber’s academy. I’ll give you a prize. At that time, I was wearing a concession girdle on the lower part of the body and it was cold. During the Sisang Ceremony, something like this comes out to you.”

“Academy Awards?”

Baek In-soo doubted his ears.

‘I know that a Korean actor has never been to an academy. Academy? Am I right? Eun-woo is not a kid who will lie, but he’s so terrific.’

white man said.

“I’m glad you liked the clothes. Now that you know your measurements last time, will you think about what style he wants to wear?”

“Yes. Have a look.”

Baek In-soo hung up the phone and thought.

‘No matter how you look at it, he’s an unusual kid. The greeting is bright and smart. Besides, it’s an academy. I don’t think it’s just talent. Was it a child who fell from the sky?

Our Soo-hee is very pretty, but she’s not an ordinary child.’

Eun-woo hung up the phone and called Baek Soo-hee on Chang-hyun’s cell phone.

“Nunna, I’m going to go to Habuji’s suit jacket today, is it worth it?”

“At the tailor?”

“I’m trying to hit Evil at the Academy Awards.”

“Academy Awards?”

“I am a candidate for supporting actor.”

“Best Supporting Actor?”

Baek Soo-hee was surprised.

‘Eunwoo is the first Korean actor to go to the stage of everyone’s dream? You’ve only appeared in one movie, right?’

Baek Soo-hee was very surprised.

“Eunwoo, did you really become a candidate?”

“Gil-dong and Hyo-ah say that he is a candidate for supporting actor.”

“congratulation. congratulation. Eunwoo. Our Eunwoo is really great. My sister will make the suit for you.”

“It’s not bad yet. snow.”

“It is not easy to be nominated. My sister should be more active. My sister couldn’t even go near the academy.”

“Your older sister won the Best Actress award at the Acting Awards.”

“Well, thanks to Eunwoo. Actually, that’s a great thing too. Because I never thought I would be good at acting. When I said that I was an actress with only a pretty face, I also felt a sense of qualification. I love you tomorrow too, I think a lot has changed while filming. I really love my job.”

Baek Soo-hee thought.

‘Sometimes when I talk to Eun-woo, it’s strange that I open up too many words in my heart. Because he’s a baby, he has the power to disarm people.’
