Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 194

“Cut, oK!”

Director Choi Dae-man’s voice echoed in the set.

The people who were watching the scene as if they were watching a TV show came to their senses.

Wow.

They wanted to clap if it wasn’t for the quiet atmosphere.

The staff and actors Park Do-hoon and Lee Da-jin looked at the two actors with sparkling eyes.

Kim Jong-ho and Lee Ji-seok wondered how they would have acted if they were in their shoes.

Evan Block and Rachel Hill, who were standing on the set, seemed to have discussed beforehand and monitored the scene with Director Choi Dae-man while exchanging some comments.

Lee Da-jin and Park Do-hoon shuffled their feet.

They wanted to go but they weren’t sure if they could. Kim Jong-ho and Lee Ji-seok felt the same.

The actors’ eyes turned to Seo-jun.

Seo-jun, who liked people who liked acting, smiled and said.

“Shall we go too?”

“Can we?”

The actors brightened up at Seo-jun’s words.

“It’s okay.”

The four actors, who had the youngest but reliable Seo-jun in front of them, quietly headed to the monitor.

The feeling was different between seeing it in person and seeing it on camera.

As the actors moved their positions, the branch manager, cEO Lee Hansol, and other directors also quietly moved their steps.

Even with the crowd of people, cEO Lee Hansol clenched his fist at the monitor screen that was visible.

It was a wise move to change it to a large monitor because of the fact that Hollywood actors were appearing.

It was like watching a TV show, the faces of the two actors filled the screen.

It was a full shot, so it was hard to see the detailed facial expressions of Evan Block and Rachel Hill, but just by their relaxed and tense movements, respectively, one could understand the situation of the characters.

“Am I walking too fast?”

Evan Block, who was almost dissecting his own appearance on the screen, opened his mouth.

The staff and directors flinched at his words.

They still weren’t used to the Korean of the Hollywood actor.

“I think it’s just right.”

“I think it would be better if I got more angry, what do you think, director?”

“Hmm. I wish your voice would tremble more.”

It was a scene that got an OK sign, but Evan Block and Rachel Hill wanted it to be more perfect.

Director Choi Dae-man, who was satisfied enough with just having the two actors appear, also explained his desired image in detail as they asked for his opinion earnestly.

“I see.”

“That sounds good.”

Director Choi Dae-man’s eyes sparkled at the sight of the Hollywood actors listening to his opinion attentively.

There were some actors who had accumulated some experience and didn’t like anyone interfering with their acting.

It was true for Korean actors, but what about Hollywood actors who had gained popularity worldwide?

‘Of course, not all of them are like that…’

There was a lot of difference between a movie director who hadn’t even gotten along with a Hollywood star.

And it was just a cameo shoot.

He thought it would be hard to express his thoughts to Evan Block and Rachel Hill.

He also took their words asking for his opinion yesterday as mere courtesy. But it wasn’t.

He smiled slightly at the sight of the Hollywood actors looking at him with serious faces.

His chest felt tight.

Before he knew it, a staff member who was filming the making film captured that moment.

The shooting director quietly advised him from behind the staff.

“Cool.”

“Right?”

Lee Ji-seok admired the two actors who tried to do their best even for a cameo shoot.

Seo-jun acted as if he had received a compliment and was proud of himself.

“They’re really amazing.”

The faces that were smiling softly disappeared, and Lee Da-jin’s eyes sparkled at the sight of the two actors monitoring seriously. Park Do-hoon nodded his head repeatedly.

Lee Da-jin and Park Do-hoon’s hearts were overflowing as they grew up watching the Shadowman series and the Assemble series.

There were many people like that here.

They all looked at the two actors with shining eyes.

It seemed like they had finished their discussion, and Director Choi Dae-man shouted.

“Let’s go one more time!”

In the end, they decided to shoot again. The actors and directors in front of the monitor dispersed and the set was reset.

The staff who checked Evan Block and Rachel Hill’s costumes trembled.

They didn’t have much thoughts in their blank state, but after watching the shoot, they realized it was real.

‘Really, Evan Block and Rachel Hill are in our movie!’

There was no doubt that Korea would be turned upside down when this fact was revealed.

***

The first shoot ended and the second shoot began.

A little away from the ‘U. S. O. W. C. Laboratory’ set, a ‘Hospital Single Room’ set was prepared.

While Director Choi Dae-man and the staff checked the set, Park Do-hoon, who clenched the script with both hands, shook his body and looked around the shooting site without rest.

He was wearing a thin patient gown, but he didn’t seem cold because he had outerwear on.

Seo-jun, who tilted his head because it was unlike Park Do-hoon who was always quiet, asked.

“Do-hoon hyung. Are you okay?”

“No!”

As if he had been waiting for him to ask, Park Do-hoon spat out his inner thoughts.

“I’m so nervous! I didn’t shake this much when I took the college entrance exam! I didn’t shake this much when I took the practical interview! What should I do? Can I do well? I was worried a lot since I met them, but I think I can’t do it! I think I’ll make a lot of NGs! What if I ruin today’s shoot, seo-jun!?”

“Uh…”

Seo-jun, who was caught by Park Do-hoon, rolled his eyes.

‘Um. I was also very excited when I shot with Swalin Arnham… But I don’t think it was this bad?’

Kim Jong-ho, who saw Seo-jun standing blankly while being held by Park Do-hoon and Park Do-hoon’s face turning almost pale, shook his head and said.

“…He seems to have lost his mind.”

“Right. But Seo-jun is also a Hollywood actor, isn’t he?”

“He must have been too depressed to think about that when he shot The Royal Physician.”

Lee Ji-seok, who had to shoot with Evan Block this time, was calm, but Lee Da-jin, who had to match with Rachel Hill in the next shoot, seemed discouraged by Park Do-hoon’s words.

“I’m doomed… NG… because of me…”

Seo-jun, who was wondering if he should use his wrist ability to calm down Lee Da-jin and Park Do-hoon who fell into a panic state, looked at one place.

“Oh, Evan.”

At that call, Park Do-hoon, who was trembling and explaining his current state incoherently, saw Evan Block who came back after changing into a new suit and took a deep breath.

“Huh?”

Evan Block, who was adjusting his suit, and Rachel Hill, who received some snacks from her manager, tilted their heads at the eyes of the actors who gathered around them.

“Do-hoon hyung and Da-jin hyung are really looking forward to shooting with Evan and Rachel.”

“!”

Seo-jun!

Park Do-hoon and Lee Da-jin screamed inwardly.

It was true that they were looking forward to it, but they were also scared and afraid.

They couldn’t do anything but look at Evan Block and Rachel Hill with trembling eyes as they had already said it.

At that remark, Evan Block and Rachel Hill’s eyes widened. And then both actors smiled brightly like flowers.

At that sight, Park Do-hoon and Lee Da-jin clutched their chests. Gasp. The staff who were watching the actors’ faces grinned and gasped.

“We’re looking forward to it too.”

“Let’s work hard on the shoot!”

At Evan and Rachel’s words of expectation, Park Do-hoon and Lee Da-jin forgot about their fear and answered loudly with their hearts full.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

***

A single room with curtains drawn. Park Do-hoon lay down in a patient gown.

“Hee.”

Kim Jong-ho and Lee Ji-seok shook their heads at Park Do-hoon’s giggling.

“Jong-ho hyung. Do-hoon’s condition seems to be getting worse.”

“Leave him alone. He’ll come to his senses when he makes an NG. You should prepare for the shoot too.”

“Okay.”

Lee Ji-seok, who wore a black suit and had earphones in his ears as a bodyguard, headed to the set. He briefly met eyes with Evan Block and couldn’t completely hide his nervousness.

‘At least the kids made a fuss, so it’s this much.’

Otherwise, he would have been shaking like Park Do-hoon and Lee Da-jin. But it was good.

Shooting with Hollywood actors, it was a hard experience to have.

Probably. Kim Jong-ho, who didn’t have a scene with the two actors, was also actually very sorry.

Then Lee Ji-seok’s eyes caught Seo-jun, who was sitting on a chair and talking with Rachel Hill.

‘If Seo-jun heard me, he would have said he was a Hollywood actor too.’

But Seo-jun was different from the other actors.

He was so close to Seo-jun that he sometimes forgot that he was a ‘Hollywood actor’.

‘But I can never forget that Seo-jun is a great actor.’

Lee Ji-seok chuckled and adjusted his clothes, then said to Park Do-hoon, who was still giggling.

“Do-hoon, don’t giggle too much.”

“Yes.”

At Lee Ji-seok’s words, Park Do-hoon took a deep breath and exhaled.

He calmed down his excitement and pleasant tension and recalled the role he had taken.

Oh. Park Do-hoon’s face turned pale in an instant.

The staff who were disappearing from the camera screen that illuminated the set.

“If the previous shoot was like a TV show, this one is like a real Korean movie, right?”

“It’s because Park Do-hoon and Lee Ji-seok are here.”

“It’s strange to see Evan Block there. Right?”

The staff tilted their heads at the amazing but incongruous composition. Could this work?

They were worried that the actors and the screen would be out of sync and prepared for the shoot.

Seo-jun focused on this shoot more than ever.

It wasn’t all good just because Hollywood actors appeared. If the audience felt alienated, it would be worse than not appearing.

‘But…’

He didn’t know about the other actors, but if it was Evan Block, if it was Lee Ji-seok and Park Do-hoon, they could do it well enough.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the set as Director Choi Dae-man shouted loudly.

“Ready.”

Park Do-hoon swallowed his saliva and tried to erase his gloomy face. He started to act out his expression.

“Action!”

The man lying on the bed yelled. All kinds of curses flew out of his mouth.

The bodyguard standing in front of the hospital room door made eye contact with Samuel and awkwardly smiled.

Samuel entered the room with a smile, as if nothing was wrong.

The man who was spitting curses and Samuel locked eyes.

Park Do-hoon, who played the role of a rude third generation chaebol, trembled.

Aaah. The next line, the next line!

“You bastard, you…”

Park Do-hoon bit his tongue and stopped.

After a brief silence, Director Choi Dae-man shouted.

“Cut, nG!”

“I’m sorry!”

Park Do-hoon shouted involuntarily, as if he had messed up his line.

Everyone understood his feelings and didn’t say anything.

Park Do-hoon was so excited, but his first line in his first scene with Evan Block was a curse.

They all looked at Park Do-hoon with pity.

Hmm.

Seo-jun scratched his cheek. He didn’t expect him to do well from the start.

‘He’ll do better once he gets used to it.’

Lee Da-jin looked as if she had caused the NG, with a nervous face. Rachel Hill and Kim Jong-ho smiled softly.

“Park Do-hoon. You stuttered?”

“Yes. I’m sorry.”

Park Do-hoon, who was lying on the bed, covered his face with both hands and said.

His ears were bright red, which he couldn’t hide.

Maybe he felt everyone’s sympathy, his hands that covered his face were also trembling.

“Come on! Let’s focus more!”

The shooting started again. Lee Ji-seok and Evan Block, who had entered the hospital room, went outside and Park Do-hoon breathed in and out, calming himself down.

“Ready.”

‘This is acting. This is acting. If I can’t do this properly, they’ll be disappointed.’

He thought of the two actors who smiled brightly and said they were looking forward to it.

Park Do-hoon’s eyes sparkled.

He couldn’t disappoint his favorite actors.

Park Do-hoon’s mood changed and Seo-jun smiled slightly. It seemed like Brother Do-hoon got used to it quickly.

“Action!”

Park Do-hoon looked at the foreigner who entered the hospital room. The person in front of him was not a Hollywood actor, Evan Block, but just an employee from O. W. C.

The man who wouldn’t have been rude to anyone yelled fiercely.

“Who the hell is that?!”

“/I’m sorry for making you wait. Sir. I’m from O. W. C./”

Park Do-hoon focused on his acting, and Evan Block delivered his lines in response to Park Do-hoon’s acting.

Lee Ji-seok, who stood like a solid wall, interpreted.

“O. W. C.? When the hell are you going to make the drug!”

“/Oh./”

Samuel raised both hands with a smile.

His gestures were very American.

Evan Block used the American-style gestures that Director Choi Dae-man, a Korean, couldn’t express, at the right places.

“They have good chemistry.”

It was a short scene, but they had made their judgment.

Kim Jong-ho’s words made Seo-jun and Rachel Hill nod.

Without any sense of incongruity, a work that was neither a Korean nor an American movie was being born.

Director Choi Dae-man, the branch manager, and Lee Hansol noticed that fact. Director Choi Dae-man’s eyes twinkled.

“/It’s still under experiment…/”

“Bring it to me right now!!”

The man looked like he would rush over at any moment by his words, but he could only glare fiercely and grind his teeth.

He was a new client who became unable to move anything below his neck due to drunk driving on the day Samuel and Professor Maria arrived in Korea.

Samuel, who always bowed down in front of money, continued his words with the loud voice as background noise.

The bodyguard calmly interpreted Samuel and the man’s words.

“/So I have a proposal for you./”

The man who was snickering asked.

“…A proposal?”

“/We have a drug that we are developing right now, and it has shown some effects. There are still some side effects, though./”

“Side effects?! You want to use that on me?! Are you crazy!!”

“/Just some minor side effects. It’s better than your current state, isn’t it?/”

The man wanted to escape from this prison-like state.

He was a man who had traveled everywhere without any trouble two months ago.

And now he could only move his neck.

The man who was muttering curses answered.

“…Fine.”

“/Thank you./”

Samuel smiled with a friendly face as he came out of the hospital room.

Aaaah, the man who couldn’t control his anger screamed and the bodyguard hurriedly called the doctor.

Samuel took out his phone and called somewhere.

“/I got a good test subject. He’s sane and in good physical condition. He can’t move his limbs, so he might be better than a normal test subject. Yes. Please prepare the drug./”

Samuel’s eyes sparkled with satisfaction.

“Cut! OK!”

Director Choi Dae-man shouted loudly.

Park Do-hoon, who was lying on the bed in tension, collapsed as if he had lost his strength.

He felt like he had never used this much energy for such a short scene.

‘I feel like I have a lump on my shoulder. I’m tired.’

He thought as he lay down, but when he saw Evan Block and Lee Ji-seok talking and heading to the monitor, he jumped up.

“Me too!”

Seo-jun and the actors also got up from their chairs and headed to the monitor.

“Do-hoon, you can curse more.”

“Here? Well, I’ll do it if you say so…”

Park Do-hoon looked at Evan Block at Lee Ji-seok’s words. Evan Block smiled and said.

“I think it’s fine?”

“If Evan says so! I’ll do it!”

“You…”

Park Do-hoon’s words made Seo-jun and the actors laugh, and Lee Ji-seok ruffled Park Do-hoon’s hair roughly.

The stylist who looked at the actors with sparkling eyes screamed inwardly at Park Do-hoon’s messy hair.

The actors and director who were chatting in Korean were all captured in the making film.
