Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 75

While the theater was bustling with the film festival, the outside was no less chaotic.

Not everyone who came to the fan meeting was a fan of Seo-jun.

There were more fans who failed to get tickets for the fan meeting than those who did.

-Part 1 review is out!!

-Wow! The MCs were the ones who came out in the spring.

While browsing the fan cafe and reading the short reviews that someone posted during the break, a notice from Cocoa Entertainment popped up on the fan cafe.

Is it the next fan meeting announcement? They clicked on it, and a huge news was waiting for them.

A while ago.

The PR team employee who delivered the news to Team Leader Kim Su-ryeon followed Seo Eun-chan’s instructions and wrote a press release.

Because they were an idol agency, they had no interest in foreign film festivals and only just found out that the WTV film festival decided the winners by the viewers’ ‘votes’.

Votes!

The word that stimulated the fans’ peripheral nerves!

It was an indicator of the fans’ love for the celebrities, and it caused all kinds of tricks, and even manipulation controversies.

It was an act that anyone who was a fan of someone would have tried once.

‘The scary thing about voting is that with just one vote difference, the winner and the loser are decided.’

Seo Eun-chan said to the PR team employee across the phone, looking at his nephew on stage.

-Boss. Should we post it on the fan cafe first?

“Since we’ve already told the fans here, post it on the fan cafe first before sending out the press release. If they find out about this later, they’ll say the company isn’t doing its job! It’s good if Seo-jun wins, but if he doesn’t win by a few votes…”

-It’ll be a mess.

That’s right.

His first nomination in his life.

His first chance of winning in his life.

And that too, at a foreign film festival!

If the fans found out that Seo-jun didn’t win the award because of a vote they didn’t know about, their anger would turn to Cocoa Entertainment, who didn’t inform them of the voting.

The employees who heard Seo Eun-chan’s words through the speakerphone swallowed their saliva.

“Since there has never been a Korean nominee for the WTV film festival, there won’t be many people who know about this, so we need to let them know as soon as possible. The fans of the other actors who are nominated are not easy either. Seo-jun’s disadvantage is that he has less experience and works in the US.”

The PR team employees took a deep breath at Seo Eun-chan’s words. It was time to show the power of Cocoa Entertainment’s PR team.

The reporters who were always watching Cocoa Entertainment, thirsty for news, received the PR team’s email and contact and wrote articles. Anything that Cocoa Entertainment sent was a hit!

“Post it quickly!”

“What’s the content!?”

“Just post the title! You can edit it later!”

Seo-jun, overseas, film festival, nominee, possibility of winning.

And voting!

These keywords, all of them, fit the public’s taste perfectly.

There was no better article to increase the views.

To be the first to post, an article with only the title [Seo-jun, nominee for foreign film festival, possibility of winning?!] was uploaded on the internet.

[(Exclusive) Seo-jun, nominee for foreign film festival, possibility of winning?!]

-What? There’s no content?

-He got nominated? Where and what film festival is it?

-You can’t write an article like this!

After that, articles poured out. The entertainment section of the internet articles was filled with Seo-jun’s name.

[Notable Actor Award! Nominee Seo-jun!]

[Only 17 years old, the youngest Korean nominee for the WTV film festival!]

[Notable Actor Award decided by voting! A Korean actor might win!]

Along with the articles, seo-jun’s name quickly rose to the real-time search terms.

The internet and the entertainment industry were buzzing while Seo-jun’s fan meeting was going on.

TV explained the WTV film festival and introduced the Korean actors who had won awards at foreign film festivals. They said that if Seo-jun won the award, he would become the youngest Korean to win an award at a foreign film festival.

Brown Black and Lee Ji-seok also announced that Seo-jun was nominated through their agency’s SNS.

They wished that Seo-jun would win the award, and that moved the fans.

The second part of the fan meeting was so exciting that everyone didn’t know what to do. Especially when Seo-jun acted as Jin Natra, they all admired that this was the nominated acting and clapped.

Seo-jun was also so excited that he just smiled. It felt like the fan meeting hall was floating on the clouds. But he didn’t forget what he had to do.

Seo-jun proceeded with the fan meeting according to the schedule. He picked some fans and received gifts and shook hands with them, and sat on a fluffy chair and chatted with the fans.

Stories from the US, stories about friends, stories about losing another tooth.

They were trivial and small stories, but they were fun.

The fans also listened to the stories with a smile.

The fan meeting time, filled with happiness, came to an end.

“How was it, everyone?”

After Lee Da-jin and Choi So-Yeong left the stage, seo-jun was standing alone on it.

He shone brightly as he smiled under the spotlight.

He said with a laugh.

“I don’t know if I did well, I was so excited.”

-No, you were awesome!

-You did great!

Seo-jun smiled happily as he looked at the audience. They were all happy for him as if his nomination was their own.

He loved the sight of the fans who liked his every move.

He looked carefully to see if anyone was frowning during the fan meeting, but they were all happy and cheerful as they watched him.

As he slowly scanned the audience, as if making eye contact with each one of them, he suddenly wondered if he had any fans in his first life.

If he did, would they have cried when he died? He was worried. He wished he had at least one fan in his first life…

He shook off the growing thoughts in his mind as he met the eyes of the fans who only looked at him.

His first life was his first life, and now he had to think about his fans only! Seo-jun smiled brightly.

“Thank you so much for coming today. I hope you will continue to support and love me!”

-Seo-jun! Congratulations on your nomination!

-It was fun today!

Seo-jun got off the stage and the theater doors opened.

The staff at the door handed out paper bags from a large box.

The fans carefully put the gifts they brought in a prepared box and took the paper bag with Seo-jun’s autograph and DVD. As soon as they left the theater, they turned on their phones.

Lim Yeon turned on her phone with a smug face to brag to her friend.

“Hey, it’s over now.”

-How was it?

“It was so much fun! Seeing Seo-jun’s acting in person was no joke. He only gave his voice for the role of Cheong-ryong, but it was amazing. Oh, and, did you know that Seo-jun was nominated for a foreign film festival? We were the first ones to know!”

-Oh. There was an article about that. The internet is going crazy.

“Of course, the reporters are fast. I hope Seo-jun wins.”

-Huh? Didn’t they tell you at the fan meeting?

“What?”

Lim Yeon, who was listening to her friend, Park Seong-ah, screamed without knowing.

The people who were leaving the fan meeting hall turned their heads to look at Lim Yeon.

It was such a loud noise. No, Lim Yeon’s words hit the fans hard.

“The winner is decided by voting!?!!”

Voting!?

The word that stimulated their instincts made the fans’ eyes sparkle.

***

“Voting?”

“Yeah. That’s when you go to the website and vote.”

“But you didn’t say that earlier.”

They parted with their sisters at the theater and Ahn Da Ho and the employees all went home.

Today, he was going home with Uncle Chan.

Seo Eun-chan drove Seo-jun’s car and left for home with Seo-jun.

Seo-jun tilted his head as he received a doubtful look from Seo Eun-chan, who told him the truth about the song and that he was not the owner of the questionnaire.

“If I told them about voting at the fan meeting, they would have gone crazy. And it would look like I did the fan meeting just to encourage voting. The fan meeting was for the fans, and that’s enough to post on the fan cafe.”

“I see.”

“Uncle already voted.”

“Hmm.”

Seo-jun wondered.

Should he ask about the voting situation or not?

He was curious, but he would be disappointed if he was last.

Beep-

Then, his phone rang. It was a text from Seo Eun-hye. Seo-jun read his mother’s text with sparkling eyes. Seo Eun-chan asked.

“What did she say?”

“She said to buy a cake for a celebration party for being nominated! The one I like! And if there’s anything else I want, buy it!”

“Really? Where’s a good place to buy a cake around here?”

“Uncle, uncle. Let’s eat chicken too!”

“Cake and chicken. Sure, eat as much as you want! Uncle is paying today!”

Seo-jun was excited by Seo Eun-chan’s words and went to buy a chocolate cake, while the internet was burning with voting.

-If you’re Korean, you have to vote! Seo-jun!

-I didn’t know there was such a film festival, but he also won the Redbone.

-Vote! Let’s vote!

-Vote for Shadowman too!

-Oh. The site crashedㅋㅋ

-It’s a mess in the fan cafes of Brown Black and Lee Ji-seok, who are in the same agency.

-I don’t know about the others, but Brown Black fans are used to it because of the music show.

On the screen of Seo-jun’s fan cafe, there was a big letter.

[Our actor’s first award in his life! Let’s make it with our hands!]

***

As the awards ceremony approached, and the voting time was coming to an end, everyone worked hard.

Especially Cocoa Entertainment’s PR team and Seo-jun’s 2nd team were very busy.

“I don’t know how much we have to vote because it’s a secret ballot. We did a lot of publicity, but… this should be enough, right?”

“I guess so. But it’ll be busier than this if he wins the award.”

The PR team spread publicity materials everywhere to encourage voting, and the 2nd team was busy rejecting the interviews and broadcasting proposals that came in.

They didn’t know if Seo-jun would win the award, so they wanted to collect the movies he had done and the pictures and materials his parents had and edit them into a documentary.

There were also calls for him to appear on variety shows.

Most of them were interview requests.

They postponed the interview schedules of the three major public broadcasting stations that Seo-jun had decided to appear on until after the awards ceremony.

They refused everything else.

“A documentary is too early.”

“Variety shows are either physical or just talking, which is no different from interviews.”

They all shook their heads. The employee who was browsing SNS exclaimed without knowing.

“Wow, the reporters are waiting at the airport.”

A picture taken by someone who was leaving today was posted on SNS.

There were reporters with big cameras waiting at every international terminal entrance.

“They don’t know when he’ll leave, but they’re waiting because he’ll definitely leave.”

“But we can’t tell them the date either.”

The interest in Seo-jun increased as he was nominated.

The heat was so hot that they didn’t know if they would get burned or cause a big accident. Cocoa Entertainment wanted to leave secretly, but.

“It seems difficult.”

Seo Eun-chan sighed at the situation of the international terminal that was popping up everywhere.
