Superstar Who Eats Everything

Episode 8_

Are these really the only abilities I have?

Min Seong’s background was unusual. He dropped out of high school and went to a famous theater company, starting out as a janitor and eventually becoming a leading actor.

That was the reason his colleagues respected him even though he was young, in his early 30s.

As he gradually rose through the ranks, his skills were outstanding and he was recognized by people in the industry.

“Hello. You are Sein.”

“Hello, detective.”

When Min Seong-i called Yeo Woo-jun by his character name, ‘Lee Se-in’, Yeo Woo-jun also became Lee Se-in and called Min Seong-i ‘Detective’.

“I heard earlier that this is your first time filming?”

“Um, yes.”

“Then, would you like to rehearse with me first?”

“great.”

As the two actors moved to rehearsal, the staff also moved busily.

‘what?’

Yeo-Jun tilted his head. There were so many people holding cameras that it was hard to call it a simple rehearsal… … Did something happen while I was getting my hair done?

“This is a place where bad people come and talk.”

Without time to think about anything else, Minseong recited the lines from the script and became the main character in [Mind].

It’s as if a nice police officer came to give a little kid a tour.

“wow.”

Yeo-Jun also became Lee Se-In and smiled innocently.

Minseong thought as he watched Yeo-jun’s face change in an instant. He has good reflexes.

“But is it okay to come like this?”

“I’m a big fan of this place, so why can’t I come? You can come again whenever you want.”

“Wow. Detective, you’re a tall man. Then, can I eat something like Jajangmyeon here? Just like in the dramas, you can eat with me.”

Yeo-Jun Yoo made a promise that the other person did not even allow, and then touched the props in the interrogation room for no reason.

‘The interrogation room is a place designed to make criminals feel psychologically intimidated. So it’s inevitable that the child will feel intimidated as well.’

Just because you’re a psychopath doesn’t mean you’re invincible.

‘I’m a child, so I’m out of the line of suspicion. But why don’t they let me out of here?’ This is an expression of the inner anxiety and doubt by touching objects here and there.

‘The acting is pretty good… … .’

Minseong swallowed his surprise inwardly.

The script doesn’t give detailed instructions on what to do. It’s entirely up to the actor’s discretion, but Yeo-Jun Woo did a great job.

‘Should we go a little further?’

Minseong became more and more greedy. Since he had a lot of experience, he could tell the level of acting ability of the other person just by looking at them for a little while.

“Saina.”

“yes?”

Minseong, who had caught his breath, revealed his presence.

“It’s started,” Director Kwon Seong-oh muttered.

“Why did you do that?”

The actor, already famous for his sharp expression, stares at the child without blinking.

The sound of Yeo-Jun swallowing his breath can be heard through the headphones.

‘Should we take a break?’

If Minseong Lee decides to fight and starts a fight, even the most skilled actors would tremble and make a mistake.

What about a child who has no experience in photography? Wouldn’t he probably burst into tears?

‘That guy Minseong, he can’t control himself even when I tell him to do it in moderation… ‘

While Director Kwon Seong-oh was pondering, Yeo Woo-jun laughed inwardly.

‘Ah, somehow. So this is why they filmed the rehearsal like that.’

To film an impromptu performance led by Minseong.

And it seems like he’s doing this to test me, but it’s lowly to apologize and tell him to go back because he got pushed by the momentum.

‘Huh?’

Director Kwon Seong-oh and the staff on site looked at Yeo Woo-jun on the screen in surprise.

Yeo-Jun didn’t cry. Instead, he relaxed his body while exhaling slowly.

“Phew… … .”

‘They’ve already found out? Then I don’t have to hide it anymore?’ It’s a sigh of relief.

After a while, he lowers his head slightly and intentionally hides the glare in his eyes from the light. This is to create a cold look.

‘Surely that wasn’t what you were aiming for, was it?’

Director Kwon Seong-oh shook his head. Oh no. It must be a coincidence.

This means that in that short amount of time, they had to calculate where the light was going and how and where to angle it to create shadows.

However, Min-seong felt goosebumps on his arms as he watched Yeo-jun act right in front of him. This was all calculated.

“… … I’m thirsty. Can I get some water?”

Yeo-Jun Yeo shook his body slightly absentmindedly, then jumped up from his seat. Then he recited a line that wasn’t in the script.

Criminals break the context and make the situation uncomfortable when it is disadvantageous to them. And I am a criminal being interrogated right now.

“I know you’re not thirsty. Sit down.”

Minseong, who received ad-lib after ad-lib, continues to push forward without losing momentum.

Yeo-Jun Yeo sits down on the chair without avoiding the gaze.

The distracting shaking of the body was no longer there. The movements were restrained, like those of a ghost.

It may seem excessive, but this will give you the strong impression the author wants.

It shows the typical appearance of a psychopath as portrayed in the media.

“Tell me. Why did you do that?”

Minseong spoke in a low voice. Yeo-jun didn’t say his lines right away. He paused for a beat. Then he opened his mouth.

“How did you know?”

It was a completely dry voice, different from before.

Yeo-Jun manipulated the sound as he pleased. The sound coming from his throat as well.

When he uttered this line, he captured the chill of standing alone on a deserted winter mountain.

“What kind of voice is that… … .”

It was a marked difference from before. Everyone could hear the audio director muttering in admiration.

Even though one scene ended, everyone was dumbfounded and only looked at Minseong and Yeo Woojun.

“… … Cut! Alright!”

The director, who had come to his senses, called cut a beat late. Then, the staff who had been watching with bated breath finally let out their breath.

“and…….”

“What did I just see?”

“He’s not even inferior to actor Min.”

“I think it’s been a while since something came out?”

The atmosphere of the production team changed due to the unexpected performance of a child actor.

The most surprised person was Minseong, who had been acting like Yeo Joon right in front of him.

It is extraordinary that he does not give in to his own words and even mixes in ad-lib to counter them.

“This is crazy!”

“Oh, author?”

Writer Lee Kyo-eun, who had to stay in her studio and write a script, was stamping her feet in excitement at her arrival.

The role of ‘Issain’ was somewhat of an adventure.

To be honest, it wouldn’t have been a problem if they had replaced him with an adult actor, but they were greedy and twisted the criminal into a child for the sake of immersion in the first half.

And the child actor I was seeing for the first time did a great job portraying Ise-in.

“Woojun.”

“yes.”

“What did you think about when you expressed Se-in?”

“I thought I had to shock them by showing them the adult-like side of a murderer, not like a child. Is it okay to go overboard here?”

“You killed him on purpose? That smoke?”

“yes.”

“You really… … are not joking?”

The director and several staff members looked at Ko Seung-geon. Their eyes seemed to imply that he had given them the interpretation of the character.

“All I did was deliver the script.”

“… … Heh heh heh.”

It wasn’t really an empty boast. The only actor who didn’t lose momentum in front of Min Seong-ui was a veteran actor.

“Author. This guy is really good, right?”

“Wow! That’s exactly what I was thinking of! How is it that you’re not even being pushed around by Seong-ui?”

“Isn’t that because he’s a genius?”

Minseong secretly praised Yeojujun by calling him a genius. Yeojujun nodded as if he agreed.

‘That makes sense.’

While Yeo-Jun was enjoying Min-Seong’s acting, he thought, ‘There’s someone here who acts like Ha-Eun Kim.’

Kim Ha-eun was like a god of acting to Yeo Woo-jun. That means Min Seong-i is also a good actor.

‘Oh, but I shouldn’t be praised more here.’

When I heard the writer thanking me for coming to our drama, my 8-year-old body twisted around, not knowing what to do. An unintentional, hearty laugh escaped me.

“Hehehe.”

“Oh my. He’s so shy in front of the camera, but he’s just like everyone else in real life.”

I swear it wasn’t my will. It’s because there are still remnants of ‘Yeo Woo-jun’ left.

<>

‘shut up.’

Ko Seung-geon looked at Yeo Woo-jun with a pleased expression.

“Chief Go.”

“Oh, Minhee.”

At that time, the casting director of the drama production company stood next to me.

“If there’s someone like that, please contact me first.”

“Haha. Sorry. If we were here, we would have introduced you right away.”

“yes?”

“Actually, it hasn’t been that long since Woojun joined our company.”

“… … It hasn’t been that long?”

The production crew who were listening to the conversation looked at the two people in surprise. Writer Lee Kyo-eun and director Kwon Seong-oh were also there.

“Yes. It hasn’t even been two weeks since that kid joined the company, right?”

“You didn’t even give him separate acting lessons?”

“yes.”

“Hey, that’s too… … .”

Author Lee Kyo-eun shook her head in disbelief.

The company misunderstood that the child was doing so well that it was exaggerating the genius marketing.

As if he had anticipated their reaction, Ko Seung-geon smiled. Everyone was half-believing but half-doubting at his confident smile, but they ended up believing Ko Seung-geon’s words.

“I was surprised too. I didn’t know that kid would do something like that.”

While watching her acting practice, I knew that Yeo Woo-jun was extraordinary, but I didn’t know that she would do this well on set.

He had solid pronunciation and enunciation, and he was able to act in a way that was not shown in the script, as well as use props and lighting on site.

‘What a pity… … .’

If this child can already show this kind of acting, I wonder what kind of mature acting he will show in his teens, twenties, and thirties.

‘If this continues, won’t I end up fighting with Hana later?’

I already regret having to send him to an idol team someday.

Ko Seung-geon covered his mouth with his hand to hide the corners of his lips that were splitting.

“Legacy, I really don’t know how to find such talent.”

“It’s all thanks to Director Choi.”

“Are you producer Choi Hae-na?”

Although they are in slightly different fields within the same entertainment industry, Choi Hae-na is also quite well-known in the acting world.

The talents she discovered all turned out well, so many of them were secretly called ‘Choi Hae-na picks’.

“He was more promising than I thought.”

Seong-Oh Kwon carefully placed Seung-Geon Ko’s business card, which he had carelessly put in his pocket, into his wallet.

I hope to see more of this work in the future.

“Anyway, thanks to you, the rest of the filming will go well.”

“Please take good care of our Woojun.”

.

On the way back after finishing the first shoot, Ko Seung-geon observed Yeo Woo-jun, who was still in the afterglow of the shoot, through the rearview mirror.

“Woojun. How was the filming?”

“It was good. I want to try more diverse things.”

“I’ll look into it.”

In fact, after [Mind], Ko Seung-geon tried to give acting lessons to Yeo Woo-jun in earnest.

However, upon checking on-site, it was found that Yeo-Jun Yoo did not need acting lessons.

If you touch it rashly, you will lose the individuality that Yeo-Jun has. I decided that it would be better to gain experience in the field.

‘I understand why good actors fall in love with the work.’

Meanwhile, Yeo-Jun was lost in his own thoughts.

I become a different person in front of the camera.

I was able to forget all about the pressure of having to collect a million points, including being a fox cub and a park sung-hyun.

Plus, it was fun to mix my ability with sound into the dialogue.

‘But is this really all my ability with sound is?’

I thought I was using it well in my acting, but there were still words that had not been unlocked in the status window.

‘I feel like there’s something more.’
