HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 260: Job Matching Hobby (2)

Not only did Rail Universe Studios produce the most successful film series, it was also considered the current representative symbol of Hollywood. Just the fact that a Korean actor had managed to be cast in one of their films would be huge news.

The stock value of GNF would skyrocket the moment that news of Kang Ra-Eun being cast as Black Cat spread throughout the nation. Chief Jung was on cloud nine.

“You have no idea how worried I was about what to do if you had refused this offer.”

Ra-Eun was not like other actors; she had absolutely zero ambitions in terms of success as a celebrity, so she just did whatever she liked. Due to her uncontrollable nature, Chief Jung always considered the possibility that she could refuse whenever he presented her with an amazing offer. It had been the same this time as well, but contrary to his worries, Ra-Eun fortunately accepted the casting offer without any conditions like previous times. Chief Jung found Ra-Eun to be quite generous today.

“When does the shoot begin?” Ra-Eun asked.

“The shoot? Well... I believe it’ll be around the first half of this year, but...”

Chief Jung was being hesitant as if there was an issue. He explained in more detail about the offer that had been given to her.

“To tell you the truth, you received a casting offer, but it’s apparently not a sure thing.”

“What does that mean?”

“Director Geneve thinks you’re perfect for Black Cat, but the others are dissatisfied with his unilateral decision. So, Director Geneve posed a suggestion.”

Geneve Levan was the director of Steel Man 3. As for the suggestion that he had posed to erase everyone’s doubts about Ra-Eun...

“He wants you to take a private audition.”

An audition was the most surefire way to prove an actor’s ability to a production team, which was likely why Director Geneve had suggested such a thing. A private audition was pretty much a casting offer with a prerequisite. It would be unimaginable for Ra-Eun in Korea since her acting ability was already tested, proven and acknowledged by every single person in the film industry. However, the same did not go for Hollywood.

“What if I fail the audition?” Ra-Eun asked.

“The offer will become null, probably.”

It was very simple.

“And of course, accepting it or not is your prerogative. You can do as you like.”

Chief Jung personally hoped that Ra-Eun would take the offer, but the choice was entirely up to Ra-Eun herself. If she found the production team’s suggestion uncomfortable, then she could just refuse.

“What’ll you do? Do you need some time to think about it?” Chief Jung asked.

“No,” Ra-Eun replied. There was no need. “I’ll give it a shot.”

She had already made up her mind, so she decided to push through with it for the sake of her precious fanboy opportunity.

Ra-Eun pulled out a comic book that had been on her shelf for a very long time. It was Cat Fight, a Rail Universe comic series volume with Black Cat as the protagonist. Black Cat was one of the very few female Asian superheroes in the Rail Universe, but was not as famous as their well-known superheroes like Steel Man, Raul, or Raven. However, there were a fair number of fanatics obsessed with her due to her gutsy and energetic attitude, as well as her sexy action scenes.
