"Huh, Asher Baldwin?"

Jo Seohui crossed her arms, a pensive expression crossing her face upon hearing the name.

"Now that you mention it, I've heard about him. Recently, there were rumors about Asher Baldwin heading to Japan."

"Is he working on a project there?"

"Probably. But who knows? Hm, maybe the Japanese gave him a substantial paycheck."

Seoyeon fell into thought at Seohui's words.

The Japanese film industry was known for its directors earning relatively modest fees.

Even Seoyeon, who wasn't particularly knowledgeable about the industry, was aware of this fact.

"More importantly, there was never a Japanese film directed by Asher Baldwin in my past life, was there?"

If he had made a movie, it would have been impossible for Seoyeon not to know.

Although she lacked familiarity with international releases, any movie by Asher Baldwin would have undoubtedly made its way to Korea.

If she didn’t know about it, chances were high it had never been released.

As she mulled over this, Lee Jiyeon, who had been silent, spoke up.

"So, Ju Seoyeon. Does that legendary director want you to star in his movie?"

"I'm not sure yet."

From what she'd heard, it was a Japanese film.

For a Korean to star as the lead in a Japanese film was almost... no, absolutely unheard of.@@novelbin@@

"Especially in a project funded by Japan."

The Japanese film industry was likely trying to revive its frozen market with bold moves.

Bringing in a renowned foreign director might be one such gamble.

"If that’s the case, perhaps something didn’t align, and the film never saw the light of day in my previous life."

It was entirely plausible.

Asher Baldwin's recent works had faltered slightly, tarnishing his reputation.

But that didn’t erase his achievements as a two-time Academy Award-winning director.

He remained one of the most revered filmmakers in the United States, his name towering over any Japanese director.
