HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 261: Job Matching Hobby (3)

Since the beginning, Kang Ra-Eun had always preferred performing action scenes with her body rather than acting with her expressions while memorizing lines. She masterfully performed the action choreography despite not having practiced with the extras in advance.

Ra-Eun had once heard from a martial arts coach during her acting career that action performances needed to be flashier than actual martial arts. Since it was simply a performance, style mattered more than practicality.

‘My movements need to be large and exciting.’

The amount of stamina consumed also increased proportionally, but that didn’t matter since it wasn’t like Ra-Eun would be mock sparring with the extras for 24 hours straight; it was only a short performance for the audition.

Director Geneve was able to tell just from Ra-Eun’s movements that she was extremely proficient in action scenes.

“You’re all satisfied, right?” Geneve asked his production team if they were satisfied with Ra-Eun taking on the role of Black Cat.

He asked while practically knowing the answer. Although they had not discussed it in advance, they were pretty much in agreement about the audition results.

“I guess it was worth coming all the way to Korea.”

“Let’s go with your casting, Director Geneve.”

“I should have never doubted your eye for something like this. You’re as discerning as they say.”

The members of the production team continued to praise Geneve for recognizing Ra-Eun’s talent, but Geneve himself wanted to redirect those praises to Ra-Eun. After all, none of this would've happened if it hadn’t been for her.

After the audition, Ra-Eun went to have dinner with Geneve, Lotier and the other members of the film production team. They still had a lot to do in Korea besides Ra-Eun’s audition, such as checking out locations.

Ra-Eun felt like she was dreaming; she had been able to sit next to Lotier, whom she had been a massive fan of ever since her past life.

“I absolutely loved your portrayal of Steel Man, Lotier. I’ve always wanted to meet you if the opportunity ever came... I still feel like I’m dreaming.”

Lotier was surprised as he looked at Ra-Eun with sparkling eyes.

“From what I know, the majority of Steel Man fans are male.”

At least, that was how he had felt. Even in the film, there were many aspects that would appeal more to men than women. A mechanical suit, and piloting a machine that was like a massive robot to decimate his enemies... It was all things that men would dream of. Steel Man toys, merchandise and figures were bought like hotcakes all over the world by children all the way up to adults.

However, that did not mean there were no female fans. There was no rule that women couldn’t like robots and mechanical suits.

“Anyway, thanks for your support. I’ll be in your care later when we start shooting.”

The shoot was to begin next month. They were on a tight schedule, and had moved up the shoots on the schedule to be held in foreign countries. There weren’t many things that Ra-Eun needed to do in the meantime; she would just practice her scenes while looking at the script, and wear the Black Cat suit that would be completed soon and give her feedback on it.

Before their dinner party ended, Ra-Eun approached Lotier with her smartphone while blushing.

“Could I take a selfie with you, please?”
