Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 201

Grrrr.

First floor of the hospital.

Under the flickering lights, zombies were swarming. 

The extras who were acting as zombies moved according to the rehearsed routes, but the child actors outshone them. 

Some extras learned from the child actors performances, while others gave up early.

That was how they continued their zombie acting.

But how long do we have to wander around?

There was no sign of Seo-jun Lee, who was hiding behind the wall. 

There should have been some movement or sound, but only the camera and the director who had to capture Seo-jun and the zombies in one angle were visible.

Dont we have to find our friends by looking at Seo-jun?

To do that, he had to stick his head out from behind the wall, so there was no way that the zombies eyes wouldnt see the tip of Seo-juns head.

I wanted to see Seo-juns acting

The child actors were doing so well, how good would Seo-jun be!

Everyone was curious and stared intently at the corner. 

Of course, they couldnt keep looking at that place because they had planned routes and movements. 

They turned their heads, but their eyes glanced at the corner as much as possible.

As Seo-juns figure didnt show up at all, everyone wondered while doing their best zombie acting, when,

Cut! OK!

What?

At the director Choi Dae-mans words, the zombies who were wandering around stopped moving as if they were broken.

What did he say? Cut? OK?

Not only the child actors, but also the zombies were bewildered when Seo-jun and the filming crew came out from the narrow corner as if nothing was wrong.

Director Choi Dae-man and Seo-juns bright faces confirmed that they really got an OK sign.

As everyone blinked their eyes with questions, Director Choi Dae-man and Seo-jun took their seats in front of the monitor for monitoring. 

Seo-juns friends, who were child actors, also headed towards the monitor.

The large monitor prepared by CEO Lee Han-sol allowed even the extras behind them to see a little bit.

On the screen.

Go Joo-won found his friends who had turned into zombies among the zombies. 

He looked at his friends with a sad and unbelievable expression several times.

Why couldnt he see Seo-juns face? Go Joo-won peeked out his head to look at his friends as if it was strange.

Joo-hee blinked her eyes a few times as she saw his shiny back of his head sticking out from behind the wall and opened her mouth.

But why couldnt we see Seo-jun?

The other kids nodded their heads in agreement. Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders and answered.

I avoided them.

What?

I cant be caught by zombies. So I avoided them all.

The people twisted their heads at Seo-juns answer. Jae-han asked.

How?

I can roughly tell the range of their vision by looking at their faces.

Huh?

It was easier than I thought because the routes and movements were fixed.

Unlike Seo-jun who spoke lightly as if it was really easy, the kids, the extras next to them, and the staffs were speechless.

So you mean, you avoided them all by looking at their faces?

Seo-jun smiled brightly as if he was satisfied with his acting. 

Ji-ho nodded his head as if he understood something as he remembered a scene that came to his mind.

Oh, I see.

What?

Working Man.

Working Man?

The people who were blinking their eyes and recalling their memories had exclamation marks over their heads.

Ah!

They all remembered Seo-juns figure solving missions by looking at the camera lens angle. It seemed that he had developed that amazing skill even more.

***

As more scenes with Seo-jun and zombies appeared, more people knew about Seo-juns appearance. 

The actors were surprised and warned them to keep it a secret.

Good job everyone!

After the filming ended, Director Choi Dae-man scratched his head. 

Assistant Director Park Jae-min and CEO Lee Han-sol also looked at the busy staffs, special makeup team, actors, child actors guardians with subtle expressions.

To be honest, I didnt expect them to keep it so well.

It had been three weeks since they started filming. 

The three people who thought that rumors about Seo-jun would spread like wildfire within a week after they started filming laughed bitterly at the quiet Korea for three weeks.

The people who knew about the promotion plan wondered when the internet would explode and how much it would turn upside down. 

They surfed the internet several times a day with anticipation.

Would it be search sites first? Or movie boards? Or communities? Maybe fan cafes? They waited for the delivery with excitement.

When it passed a week and reached three weeks, the Escape staff realized.

Maybe this wont explode.

One of the staff, CEO Lee Han-sol, sighed.

We underestimated it.

Director Choi Dae-man agreed.

The target is a Hollywood actor, and the investor is a big one that even brought a Hollywood special makeup team. They probably thought it would be a big deal if they said something wrong.

They didnt expect that it wouldnt even spread as a rumor. The promotion plan that was going smoothly stopped for a while.

But we cant keep it quiet forever. It might be quiet until the release at this rate.

The three people who agreed with CEO Lee Han-sols words gathered people.

***

A noisy pork belly restaurant.

Kim Su-han and his four friends gathered in one place. 

Kim Su-han, who was listening to his friends daily stories, exclaimed.

You filmed a movie?

Yeah. Just an extra.

Somehow, Kim Su-han chose his career in the film industry, and his four friends who helped him make independent films without money or people became familiar with this field.

They did part-time jobs as film staffs or extras while attending college, and two of them decided to be extras again this time.

A movie?

People at the next table unconsciously listened to the topic that was a little different from their daily lives.

Kim Su-han, who was still interested in the film industry even in the army, asked.

A zombie movie, right? Escape?

Yeah. A zombie role.

The word Escape made the voices of the people near the table lower. Some people searched for Escape on their phones.

A zombie movie sounds interesting. I heard from Director Park Jung-woo that they even brought a Hollywood special makeup team. I guess they have a lot of production costs.

The friends laughed at Kim Su-hans bright face, who found his path in a theater he went to without any thoughts. 

He would never have dreamed of it when he was a high school student.

Hollywood?!

The rumor was true, according to the search results. 

Not only the table next to them, but also the people at the other tables started to close their mouths. 

Their eyes were on their phones, and their ears were on Kim Su-hans table.

When I first saw the extra notice, I thought it was just an ordinary movie.

They didnt promote the movie much. I thought it would be buried, but then Kim Jong-ho and Lee Da-jin were cast

Theyre good actors.

The customers who were secretly listening nodded their heads.

Did you do well in filming? Can you recognize your face as a zombie?

Its a group scene, so its hard to tell.

Thats a shame. Oh, then is the Hollywood special makeup team story true? You might have seen them when you did the zombie makeup.

Kim Su-han, who asked without thinking, and the two friends who had worked hard as zombie extras looked at each other. 

They remembered Director Choi Dae-mans voice asking them to spread rumors about Seo-juns appearance.

This is a secret

Secret!

The owner of the pork belly restaurant turned down the volume of the TV with a remote control. 

The pork belly that was sizzling on the grill was lifted up again.

The people who were talking, the office workers who were clinking their glasses with loud noises, and the part-timers who were running around stopped making noises.

The pork belly restaurant that was silent seemed completely cut off from the noisy outside.

Kim Su-han and his two friends were surprised by the situation, but the two friends didnt care and continued to talk. Rather, they welcomed this situation.

They spat out the lines they had prepared as if they were acting. 

There was no camera, but it was fun.

The Hollywood special makeup team story is true.

Mirror. Theyre the top in Hollywood. Jenna Trades team.

Really?!

If it werent for Kim Su-han who jumped up at Seo-juns name, the customers would have screamed. 

The customer, the owner, and the part-timer all looked at Kim Su-hans table with blank expressions.

Why does Seo-jun come up here?

What? What? Seo-jun? Did he say Seo-jun?

Some people searched for Seo-juns whereabouts on their phones, and some doubted if they were lying.

They were stunned by the appearance of an unexpected actor.

It was a powerful name that made them forget that they were listening secretly.

The one who made the pork belly restaurant silent again was Kim Su-han, who was excited by his favorite actors appearance.

Why did Seo-jun go there? What was he doing?

Kim Su-hans momentum that seemed to jump over the table made his friend smile and say.

Seo-jun seemed to be filming a movie.

Filming a movie!

Those four words made the pork belly restaurant explode silently.

Not only the pork belly restaurant, but also stories like that spread everywhere.
