Superstar Who Eats Everything

Episode 9_

You’re not a trainee anymore, are you?

Filming does not follow the plot’s development, climax, turn and conclusion.

Usually, the filming location scouting schedule is coordinated with the schedules of other actors to efficiently create a route.

So, there were many instances where actors who had just met filmed from the end of the play, and later this fact was revealed in an interview, surprising fans of the work.

The same goes for Yeo Jun-woo. If we follow the flow of his filming, it would be a beginning, development, climax, and conclusion, not a rise, development, turn, and conclusion.

“Woojun is here?”

“Hello, Director!”

“Hey. Can you do as well today as you did yesterday?”

“of course!”

So, the day after filming the police station scene, in order to deceive the viewers from the beginning, Ise-in’s first appearance was filmed as an innocent child who gets along well with her peers.

‘If I hadn’t been watching the kids, I would have had a hard time here.’

Yeo-Jun, who had been quiet for a long time, observed his classmates and imitated their behavior.

Because he stared at me so intently, some kids misunderstood and wondered, “Does Woo-jun like me?”, but Yeo-woo-jun was the only one who didn’t know.

“Cut! Okay! Let’s get started! Get ready to leave work early today.”

“and!”

Anyway, the director’s mouth was wide open as Yeo-Jun Yoo performed everyday acting without any problems.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere on set became warm.

Since ancient times, one of the qualities of a good actor on set is not being late, not making NGs, and making the staff leave work on time.

“Director, your mouth is torn. Thanks to you, filming is easy, but… … Did that kid do that well?”

“Oh, you weren’t there yesterday, were you? It was no joke.”

“is it so?”

“I told you that I didn’t even realize that filming was over and just stared blankly at him. That guy also praised him highly.”

“Minseong’s song? Hmm, I don’t think it’s that bad… … .”

The staff who were not present at the police station scene looked at the child checking his acting on the monitor with mixed feelings.

“You like it that much?”

“yes.”

“Is it good for this to appear on TV later?”

“No, it’s just… … the acting itself.”

“Wow! You’re a natural born actor.”

When I look at the results and see things I like, it just looks like the appearance of a child appropriate for their age.

Child actors are harder to handle than adult actors, so it can be difficult to film. It’s not common for kids at this age to focus for long periods of time. It’s commendable that he didn’t make a single NG, but… I wondered if his acting skills were worthy of such praise.

However, their suspicions gradually faded as filming progressed. To be exact, it was from the scene where Yeo-jun Yeo’s character, ‘Lee Se-in’, took off her mask and revealed her true feelings.

“Hey, Se-in! Can you lend me a thousand won?”

“A thousand won? I’ll give you one!”

Issain spoke readily and put the money in her pocket into the child’s hand.

“You don’t have to pay it back.”

“really?”

“Instead… … .”

Soon, he grabs the hand of the person trying to take the money, as if he is caught in a trap.

Issain did not stop at killing animals, but continued to look for targets to kill. And as soon as he found a suitable target, he unleashed his hidden desires.

When Yeo-jun said the following lines, he did so with appetite in his voice. Because that is the most primal desire.

“Can you go somewhere with me?”

Not only her voice, but also the expression on Issei’s face as she looks at the child is subtle.

The corners of his mouth are turned up, but they are twitching as if he can’t hide the excitement he feels.

At the same time, the shadowy, deep pupils gave off a cold feeling at first glance.

Was it because I felt the power conveyed through that performance? In the end, it was an NG.

This is because the child actor who played the role of the person who is killed by Ise-in in the drama could not hide his tearful eyes and ended up bursting into tears.

“Cut! Just a moment. Let’s calm the kid down and go back in.”

The director, who had been looking at Yeo-jun with a happy expression, resolutely cut off the flow.

“Eww!”

“Oh my, Jinhu!”

The guardian ran over quickly.

“Jinhu. Why are you suddenly like this?”

“Huh!”

“Lee Jin-hoo! Can’t you stop crying?!”

Even without that, the comparison between Yeo-Jun and his own child was driving him crazy because it was interfering with filming. The child, who was called Jin-Hoo Lee, burst into tears even more as the guardian nagged him.

“You’re scared! Don’t come!”

Yeo-Jun tried to comfort the child but then stepped back.

‘Wow, that works well.’

I didn’t expect to receive such rave reviews. The staff member who thought that Yeo-Jun was hurt by the child avoiding him patted his shoulder.

“Woojun, don’t worry too much.”

“What? It’s a compliment.”

Doesn’t that mean I’m creepy? It’s quite fun because the acting works as intended.

Whether it’s a movie or a drama, connections play a big part. You have to act respectfully and courteously so as not to interfere with filming, and you’ll make a good impression.

“Chief Go.”

“yes.”

And it’s not bad for the production team either.

He has good skills, a good mask, and instead of an unusual guardian, he brings a manager with him. And since he belongs to a large agency, it is definitely guaranteed.

“Are you seriously raising Woojun?”

Ko Seung-geon, who visited the filming site, looked at Yeo Woo-jun, who was checking the script.

After observing for the past few days, I realized that Yeo-Jun was like an awl in a pocket.

I already had three phone calls asking about Yeo Jun-woo, as rumors had already spread.

“Yes, I think so. Please spread the word in the industry.”

“Oh, of course.”

Ko Seung-geon leaned towards focusing on Yeo Woo-jun and leaving the other actors’ roles to other team leaders.

Looking at the reactions on the scene, it seems like it will spread by word of mouth more, so I need to manage my filmography well and not just get involved in anything.

“… … Cut! Okay!”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

When Yeo-Jun Woo finished filming and shouted loudly and bowed in greeting, everyone looked at Yeo-Jun Woo with eyes as if their soul had been taken away.

The acting of the child who transformed from an innocent child to a budding psycho killer was truly amazing.

“Wow… … Minseong deserves high praise.”

“You know what? This kid is completely new to the scene.”

“Really? You didn’t take any other pictures?”

“That’s what I said.”

The staff members who were half in doubt now looked at Yeo Woo-jun differently.

With this level of start-up, he will become famous in no time. Maybe he will even become a real great actor in the future?

“What should I do since I can’t see Woojun anymore?”

“See you next time! I want to do that acting again.”

“Haha! Okay. See you next time.”

“thank you!”

Yeo-Jun Yoo, who received congratulations and encouragement from many people, got into the car. Director Kwon Seong-Oh, who was watching the car moving away, spoke quietly.

“But I don’t know if we’ll be able to meet again next time.”

With that level of potential, a director with more skill and a higher level would want to hire him, not a director of my level.

“It’s a shame. It’s a shame.”

Director Kwon Seong-oh whetted his appetite.

* * *

Yeo-Jun Yeo briefly tasted the taste of acting and then returned to his daily life.

Ko Seung-geon said he would bring me good works, and once I tasted it, I wanted to taste it more. When will I be able to do the next work?

“Woojun already filmed a drama?”

During that time, I became very close with the trainees. In fact, the trainees were desperate to do something for Yeo Woo-jun.

That would be the case.

‘He did all the housework without being asked. I’m sorry.’

‘He did it even though I told him not to.’

‘I heard that you had a hard time getting it out of the orphanage?’

‘You don’t have a family?’

Yeo-Jun Yoo started doing small chores around the house because she felt sorry for the struggling trainees, but before she knew it, she had become a Cinderella among the trainees who didn’t cry even when faced with difficult circumstances.

“Yeah. It’s just a short supporting role, so it’s not really something to brag about.”

“But that’s amazing. Didn’t you even take acting lessons?”

Among the trainees, Jang Hyun-do, who was the leader, patted Yeo Woo-jun on the back as if he was proud of him.

“The director said I don’t need to take acting lessons.”

“Oh. Isn’t that already complete?”

“Aren’t we looking at the future great actor right now?”

Since Yeo-Jun can read emotions through voices, he tends to stay away from people who are completely different on the inside and out, but he liked these people because they were almost identical on the outside and inside.

“Then you’re not taking any other lessons?”

“Yeah. I thought I’d learn things like dancing and singing.”

Since I came in as an idol trainee, I thought I would learn a lot of things. Is it because I started acting first?

“Don’t be too impatient. If you take lessons for about two years, you’ll be able to do it all. I was tone-deaf too, but after a few years of intense lessons, everything was corrected.”

“But you can apply for things like foreign languages ​​now that will be helpful after you leave our company, so learn them in advance. You never know what will happen later.”

“ah.”

Kids these days are realistic. I got some good advice.

In fact, this world and that world are the same, so Yeo-Jun has already mastered the languages ​​of many countries, but if he pretends to learn, it won’t feel out of place even if he shows off his language skills fluently later.

“How are you guys? I heard there’s a rumor going around that the debut group will be confirmed soon.”

The trainees put down their spoons as if they had no appetite due to Yeo Jun’s surprise attack.

“Haa… … That’s why all my hair fell out.”

“Idols are losing their hair?”

“I already have a plan B. I’m learning how to compose music. If things change, I’ll switch to being a producer.”

“Hey, if Hyun-do hyung doesn’t make it to the debut group, we’re all eliminated.”

Oh, Jang Hyun-do is an ace? I thought he was just a nice guy.

‘Wait, composing?’

Since composing is also a task that involves using sounds, isn’t it related to my ability? Yeo Woo-jun turned his head quickly.

“Brother, can I learn composition too?”

“composition?”

“Yeah. I thought it would be fun.”

“I guess it can’t be helped. I’ll ask.”

While Yeo-Jun was inwardly clenching his fist, a stranger approached their table.

“excuse me…….”

“yes?”

“Ah! You.”

“Hello, Team Leader. Do you still go out and do casting yourself these days?”

“Can’t you really eat somewhere else?”

While Jang Hyun-do was dealing with that person, Yeo Woo-jun whispered to the trainee sitting next to him, Jeong Ji-seok.

“Who are you?”

“Hey, the head of the new development team at Newborn Entertainment.”

“How do you know?”

“They tried to cast us because they thought we were just regular people and not idol trainees.”

“ah.”

Yeo-Jun nodded.

Well, unless you have a sticker on your forehead that says you’re a contracted idol trainee, this kind of thing is bound to happen all the time.

They’re all pretty good looking, though not as much as me.

“Shall I tell you something interesting? I already have three business cards from Newborn. Two regular employees and that person. There are a lot of entertainment agencies around here.”

The team leader of Newborn Entertainment looked at each person with a puzzled expression. They were all people he had already tried at least once.

“I heard there’s a rumor that your debut group will be confirmed soon?”

“Oh, Team Leader. Can’t I just eat my meal comfortably? I’ll feel sick.”

“Hey, is your life over just because you’re eliminated from the debut group? It’s not like entertainment companies only have legacies… … You can just debut with our company.”

Legacy is a true idol powerhouse, so even if they were eliminated from the debut group, there were many outstanding members.

Newborn Entertainment was famous for picking up such children and helping them debut.

Meanwhile, Yeo-Jun Yoo, who was hidden by the trainees, peeked his head out.

Newborn Entertainment’s rookie development team leader, Shim Hye-seon, held her breath. What’s that face?

“Hey, wait a minute. Is this your first time seeing that kid?”

“Oh, Woojun?”

The trainees, including Jang Hyun-do, chuckled.

“Hello. By any chance… … .”

“Sorry, I already have work to do.”

“So, so? Are you also a member of Legacy?”

“yes.”

“Ah… … Where does that company get a kid like this?”

Shim Hye-sun sighed. Oh my, it was even crazier when I saw it up close. Her voice was filled with greed.

“Are you still under contract as a trainee?”

“Hey, Team Leader. Give up. Woo-Jun, Director Choi brought him here himself.”

“……really?”

Choi Hae-na. A famous producer known as the Hand of Midas in the idol industry. If it’s Choi Hae-na’s pick, you can’t miss it.

“Then you can’t give up any more? You said Woo-Jun, right? If you’re dissatisfied with the legacy… … .”

Yeo-Jun shook his head.

He wasn’t stupid enough to miss out on something profitable, but he wasn’t the type to abandon his faith. He knew how hard Choi Hae-na had worked to bring him back.

“I don’t want to talk about contracts. I won’t even accept business cards.”

“… … You were well educated.”

The trainees who were watching smiled proudly. Look, this is our kid.

Among them, the trainee who was blankly watching the restaurant TV, Lee Je-won spoke quietly.

“But, isn’t this kid a trainee anymore?”

“huh?”

“It’s out there.”

I followed his finger to the TV and saw the trailer for [Mind] playing.

“huh?”

Even Yeo-Jun made a foolish sound.

I thought he wouldn’t appear in the trailer since he only appears briefly in episodes 1 and 2, but he did?

“… … Didn’t you say Woo-Jun was a supporting actor? Do supporting actors usually appear that much in trailers?”

“I see, is it really just a minor role?”

… and it takes quite a while?
