"The role they wanted you to play is a dentist."
"On the surface, he's a normal person, but in reality, his contrast is huge."
"He finds enjoyment in dismemberment, something like that is the character."
Are You in Hell?
Upon hearing the drama's title, Su Han's body jolted.
This title was all too familiar; he had seen the show.
And he quite liked it.
Back then, while watching the series, he was deeply captivated by this perverted serial killer.
The role was truly compelling, and he was very interested.
He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence.
Just as he had expressed his desire, a director contacted him.
Intriguing.
"I wonder if Mr. Su Han is interested?"
The director asked tentatively.
Su Han was indeed quite interested.
"Interested!"
"Very interested. From what you've described, I really like this character!"
"I'll take it!"
Hearing Su Han's firm and decisive acceptance of the role, Director Li Changxi was instantly astonished, even pleasantly surprised.
"I truly didn't expect you to agree so readily!"
"I will fly over tomorrow to discuss everything with you. The script is also ready on our end, and I'll bring it to you then."
"Alright, I don't see a problem with that!"
"It's getting late, Director. Please get some rest. We can discuss anything else tomorrow."
"Ah, sure thing!"
With the matter settled, Su Han hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Yang Mi leaned in.
"How was it?"
"Which director called you?"
"Was it about a role for you?"
Su Han put down his phone, sat down, and continued to feast on crayfish.
"It was a director from South Korea, wanting to invite me to film a TV series."
"What? A South Korean director inviting you to film a TV series?"
"What kind of series is it?"
"It's called 'Strangers From Hell,' a suspense thriller."
"I'll be playing the villain, a role that's somewhat like a repressed, perverted dentist."
Upon hearing Su Han's description, Yang Mi instantly understood.
Reba, sitting nearby, her eyes lit up as if instantly captivated.
"Wow!"
"A perverted dentist?"
"That sounds so cool!"
"Brother Su Han! You have to take it! I really want to see you play a role like that. This kind of character just sounds incredibly compelling and interesting."
Reba became excited.
Yang Chaoyue also appeared full of surprise and curiosity.
"A perverted dentist?"
"This role sounds really interesting."
"Even before it starts filming, I'm already looking forward to it."
"The character's setup seems very intriguing."
Su Han could understand the interest these three women had in the role.
Perverts with a repressed aura had always been appealing to girls.
And even more so, a dentist.
Su Han recalled the original actor who played this perverted dentist, Lee Dong-wook, and remembered how brilliant his portrayal had been, still unable to forget it.
The drama was actually a bit niche, being from South Korea and in the suspense-crime genre, so fewer people watched it.
But Su Han didn't mind; he simply wanted to find his breakthrough and act in roles that he truly wanted to portray.
Just after this call ended, another one came in.
This time, it was another unknown number.
"Hey?!"
"Another call?"
Su Han answered the phone again. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The call connected.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Su Han."
"I am director Lee Chang-dong from South Korea."
"I saw the video of you at the premiere of 'The Silence of the Lambs' today, and you mentioned wanting to collaborate and find roles."
"So I decided to give you a call."
"I have a role here that I'd like to invite you to collaborate on."
"Hello, Director Chang-dong. What genre is the film you'd like to collaborate on?"
"My film is actually an adaptation of Murakami's short story 'Burning Barn,' combined with Faulkner's 'Barn Burning'."
A movie adapted from Murakami's 'Burning Barn'?
Upon hearing this, Su Han's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
He knew this movie, and he had seen it.
Burning!
It was a South Korean film that had won numerous awards.
This film was a suspense thriller.
However, Su Han himself categorized it as an art-house film.
Because he felt that much of the content in the film was profound and thought-provoking. One couldn't grasp its meaning or what it was reflecting with just a simple viewing without researching it.
Su Han greatly admired this film.
Especially one particular line that was exceptionally classic.
The line was: "People have small hungers and big hungers. Small hungers refer to the basic needs of daily life, while big hungers are for those who hunger for the meaning of life. That is, those who have already satisfied their basic needs for life face a greater hunger. This hunger is spiritual; they seek to establish a higher level of meaning in life."
The difficulty for humans lies in satisfying the big hunger after satisfying the small hunger.
Those who satisfy the big hunger are often very dangerous.
Before watching this movie, Su Han had no awareness of the terms "small hunger" and "big hunger."
But after watching this film, he truly understood the meaning of these terms.
To be honest, he still wasn't entirely sure if he had fully understood the movie.
There were many things that still required further study to comprehend.
Regardless of anything else, he truly loved this movie.
No matter what, he had to accept!
With that thought, Su Han didn't hesitate: "Director Chang-dong, I'll take it!"
