When I Opened My Eyes I Was A Superstar (Part 2)

Chapter 214

214. Hero (2)

"<Heroes>... That, that <Heroes>..."

Park Si-hyung stuttered his words and said.  Kim Won was already spinning around his waiting room, hitting him on the knee and making a fuss.  Like a child actor in a sitcom that gained national popularity twenty years ago.

Of course, what Kim Won shouted was in English instead of 'My God'.

“Oh, my gosh!  That's so, so amazing!"

Kim Won grabbed Dowook's shoulders with both hands and shook them.  Do-wook was dizzy because of Kim Won, but it was difficult to figure out whether he was dizzy from shaking his shoulders or from hearing such tremendous news.  When they said he was cast for <Heroes>, they meant casting for the movie <Heroes>.  The original story was based on a comic of the same name published by General Comics.

In the cartoon <Heroes>, as the title suggests, many modern heroes appeared.  The films made by General Comics after following the stories of such heroes were 'Billion Man', 'Class Woman', 'Speed ​​Snake', 'Captain General', and 'Shark'.

As the films became successful one after another, General Comics became a brand called 'General'.  In the midst of that, it was the movie <Heroes> that brought together all the heroes from the cartoon <Heroes>.

The success of the movie <Heroes> was truly enormous.  There have been many heroic films of all time, but <Heroes> was of a different scale in everything from the cast to the production cost.  The term “king of the end” of American cinema suits him.

Since the fans of each character were already gathered, the synergistic effect might have been natural.

The popularity of <Heroes> was not just limited to the United States.  It was global.  In Korea, more than 7 million viewers watched <Heroes>.

Box office revenue reached a whopping $1.5 billion.  It was a huge number that exceeded 1 trillion in Hanwha.

Needless to say, it was the leading actors who appeared as heroes in <Heroes>, and the main actors also grew into world-class stars.  No, just appearing in <Heroes> was like becoming a global star.

It was that <Heroes>.  The atmosphere in the waiting room was very uplifting.

“What is your role in <Heroes>?”

Ahn Hyeong-seo asked with his eyes shining.

"Eh, what's important about the role. Even if your face appears in <Heroes> for 10 seconds, you'll be very successful, man."

"brother!  <Heroes> is great, but Do-wook is also KK.”

Jung Min-gi quickly blocked Ahn Hyeong-seo's question, thinking that the role that came to Do-wook might not be that big.  Ahn Hyung-seo's position was that the movie <Heroes> was great, but Do-wook was also great.  Both of them were members of the same group and at the same time had attitudes that could be called Dowook's 'fans'.

Do-wook was also already dizzy with the casting itself, but in fact, the role was also very important.  As K-POP became prevalent and Hallyu actors emerged, Hollywood sometimes cast Korean actors for the Asian market.

However, the role of Asian actors in Hollywood was very limited.  It was the same with Korean actors.

There were a lot of roles that didn't have a proper scene, and he'll to play a villain or a relatively weak role.  There were times when he have to choose a role that was not easy for Koreans, borrowed from Japanese-style samurai.
