#but here's kim k trashing a famous historical movie gown for the clicks and hete"

[xcziel]

weird mile thought that just occurred to me: so mile has said he'd been asked to take other bl roles before right? and never really expressed any hesitation about taking one - like he was confident that it'd be his choice even though he wasn't a known actor, hadn't ever had an actual acting role before? and i was wondering at like this casual assumption that he'd be able to do a role, like he was almost deigning to take it rather than being insecure or worried about being good enough. and while i realize some of that is just mile (and the life experience of being rich and good-looking lol) i think some of it probably would also have been to do with the kinds of things he'd been offered?

i was thinking: someone described mile as kind of like a thai kim kardashian because he previously was sort of famous for being basically a rich socialite-type. and one thing you learn about thai bl shows if you pay even a little attention is that they love a cameo guest role from other bl actors or cps. there are always these little moments where some random encounter with a walk-on background character in a bl show seems to be dragged out a bit and given a confusing amount of time and significance where later you'll see everyone going crazy in the chat "omg it was so&so from last year's drama! they were the couple at the fashion show!!!" etc etc.

so how likely is it that the "roles" mile was offered were of that kind - attempts to take advantage of his celebrity and followers to bump the viewership of a bl drama with a cameo turn by "extremely handsome restaurant patron mile" or "extremely handsome businessman mile " or maybe even "extremely handsome suave beach-goer mile"?

it just seems very likely, considering how celebrity can function and also mile's kind of supreme confidence about picking and choosing from among offers.

but what i love, and what i realized might have been a little bit of an "f* you" on mile's part for the implied assumption that he maybe couldn't pull off a real role, is that he decided to go in and actually audition for kinnporsche when he heard about it, not for some kind of gravy star cameo, but for the full leading role, when he hadn't acted before.

like we all laugh that he heard it was based on himself and saw a chance that apo might be involved and jumped at it, but seriously. seriously, think: if kim kardashian one day just decided to audition for a genuine movie/tv role in idk succession or something - not a gimmick part, not a walk-on as "herself" - what would the reaction be??

do you think most celebrities could handle a full lead role like that? just ... decide to do it, and then not only pull it off, but do a brilliant job?

just, with all the sort of interpersonal stuff with daemi that's been sort of an avoided discussion and the way mile has said he'd read yok's work before, i'm speculating that going for a much bigger and more demanding role than maybe what he'd been offered before was a way for mile to make a kind of statement of his own, staking his own worth as an actor not just some 'pretty face with nice tits' (which is kind of how i feel like sometimes the whole cast got treated by the writers)

and that fills me anew with a kind of gleeful appreciation for his style and boldness.

#kinnporsche #lol i can't compose my thoughts coherently i just needed to get this idea out bc it struck me and won't leave #bc i just see these scripts where they offer mile a brief bit part with the directions like #'look hot smile and say your line' easy and smooth like almost no effort on his part #show up to the set meet the actors get treated like a king bc it'd be one of those divided sets like apo talked about hating #so rich cameo 'celebrity' guy mile could expect special kid-glove treatment even chatting with the director and writers etc #and i see mile going no if i'm gonna do an actual role in a drama i'm going to do a *real* role damn it #i'm going to work for it i'm going to have a full script and work with the other actors and director i'll be *involved* #not just some 'show up one day for ten minutes' type thing - if i'm doing it i'm doing it *for real* and i respect that so much #bc really can you imagine it *wouldn't* be easy for mile to just call up someone and say hey i want to #idk play my guitar or drive my maserati in a scene in your drama just cause i feel like it - and the producers wouldn't jump? #but here's kim k trashing a famous historical movie gown for the clicks and hete" #s mile instigating the creation of a whole new production company and business model just so he can do right by his #fellow cast members while shouldering a fairly demanding lead part in his first ever acting role like ... #i just get this feeling he was making a statement that he is not some kind of dilettante to play around #and that's fun because it seems very in line with his family sort of tradition of achievers
