Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 317

Anh Da Ho, who had been looking at Seo-jun for a moment, burst into laughter and said.

If you want to do it, Seo-jun, you should do it. Then Ill postpone the independent film. But what kind of work is it?

Anh Da Ho had read all the scripts that he handed over to Seo-jun, so he was curious about which one of the three scripts in the box it was.

This one.

Seo-jun smiled and put the script he was holding on the table. 

Anh Da Ho looked at the title on the cover of the script.

[Survivors]

He tried to recall the memories related to Survivors, such as the plot, the production company, the director, etc., from the sentences of the scripts he had read so far. 

Anh Da Ho opened his mouth.

Is the production company Bear Round?

Yes.

Seo-jun looked down at the cover of the script.

There was a logo and name of Bear Round with a roaring bear shape, and below that were the names of the cast actors who had been confirmed.

Hmm. For other production companies besides Marine Sa, I asked Kings Agency to investigate and send them over. It seems more accurate and detailed to investigate locally than in Korea.

Seo-jun nodded at Anh Da Hos words.

He didnt know much about other production companies, unlike Marine Sa, which he had filmed several times.

Among the works that Seo-jun had filmed, only Over The Rainbow was a Hollywood movie other than the Shadow Man series, but Over The Rainbow was a Wales Studio work, and Wales Studio was a subsidiary of Marine Sa.

I guess theyre not completely unrelated.

Marine Sa might have influenced when filming Over The Rainbow.

I asked Team 2 to ask Kings Agency for sure about what to consider

The interference of the production company, the personality of the director who will lead the filming, the attitude towards child actors, the filming environment and schedule. 

And other evaluations.

When they first received a request for an investigation of the work, Kings Agency frowned at the long list of investigation items that arrived from Cocoa Enter Team 2, but now they were sending answers familiarly. 

They had done some research once and were updating it a little bit, so it was a little easier now.

Anh Da Ho frowned slightly.

They said they were worried about the lead actor

The lead actor?

Seo-jun blinked.

Davis?

[Davis Garrett]

He tilted his head as he looked down at the name of the cast actor who had been confirmed on the front of the script. 

He had never filmed with him before, but Davis Garrett was a good person.

And hes good at acting.

He was rather excited to act with him, so Anh Da Hos words were only strange to Seo-jun.

Hmm.

Anh Da Ho uttered a sound of hesitation for a moment and opened his mouth.

They say that actor Davis often does improvisational acting.

Improvisational acting? Ad-lib?

Isnt ad-lib okay?

Ad-lib could create an impressive scene if done well.

Seo-jun didnt know much about movements, but he followed the script perfectly as far as dialogue was concerned.

Ad-lib I dont know if I should call it that. It seems to be quite famous in Hollywood. Redbone 1 was completely rewritten and Redbone 2 was half modified. And because its improvisational acting, its hard for the opposite role. Your role will clash with his too, so Im worried.

Wow Then Davis acted in Redbone 1 with improvisational acting. Thats amazing

To Seo-jun, who followed the script exactly, Davis Garretts story seemed like another world. 

No wonder he sparkled his eyes as he listened to the story. 

Anh Da Ho smiled bitterly and opened his mouth.

It seemed that actors and managers had different perspectives.

It might be faster to ask Evan Block or Rachel Hill. The evaluation of actors who filmed together and those who watched from outside may be different.

Seo-jun quickly took out his phone.

Ill ask them now!

<Evan! Rachel!

<How is it to act with Davis?

He waited for a reply from both actors, wondering if they were in LA or somewhere else.

Seo-jun looked at his phone from time to time while looking at Davis Garretts lines in [Survivors].

Soon after, his phone rang.

He sparkled his eyes at the message that arrived.

Evan: Davis? Hes hard.

Evan: He doesnt suit me.

Seo-juns tail drooped as he saw Evan Blocks evaluation. 

Anh Da Ho seemed to know what kind of message came by looking at him alone and said with a smile.

Rachel: I had fun!

Rachel: Maybe because I didnt know where he would go, I focused more on the role?

Rachel: Oh, I dont know where hes going!

Rachel: Davis moves strictly according to the role. Its easier if you figure that out.

Rachel Hill and Evan Blocks evaluations were different.

Evan: But its still hard to guess the dialogue, so it doesnt suit my acting style.

Evan: And its because hes Davis that he gets away with it. If his acting skills were a little lacking, it would have been a mess.

Rachel: But this side is like /Jangddang/ and feeling, so there are a lot of people who like Davis!

Evan: /Jangddang/? How did you learn such a word?

Rachel: /Hehe Korean dramas are fun./

Rachel: But why Davis all of a sudden?

<Maybe Ill film with him. Im curious about what kind of acting Davis does. And Da Ho hyung is worried too.

Rachel: Ah Is it about Redbone 1?

Evan: That was because the script was too bad.

Rachel: You can tell how bad it was when Evan says that, right?

He was curious about the script before Davis rewrote it. Seo-jun, who values the script.

Evan: I think its okay to try it once.

He was happy with that message and looked at the name of the person who sent the message. It was not Rachel Hill but Evan Block.

<Evan didnt you say you dont suit Davis?

Evan: Thats because my acting style doesnt suit him.

Evan: You dont know what Jun will be like unless you try it.

Rachel: Yeah! I think Jun will have fun filming with Davis.

<Really?

Evan: Dont you want to film?

Evan: Then you should do it.

Seo-jun lifted his head and looked at Anh Da Ho at Evan Blocks message.

Anh Da Ho raised both hands at the sight of the star-like sparkling eyes of the actor.

Okay. Ill contact Bear Round right away.

Yes!

While Seo-jun, who was excited, read [Survivors] again, Anh Da Ho immediately contacted Team 2 and stopped looking for independent films. The staff of Team 2, who heard that Seo-jun liked Hollywood movies, started organizing the materials on independent films that were piled up on the table.

Hello.

Nice to meet you, Seo-jun Lee.

The doctor in charge of the mental health center of the designated hospital of Mirinae High School greeted Seo-jun with a smile.

He was a doctor who had been in charge of many students since Mirinae High School was established and entrusted the mental health center of this hospital with the referral. 

Thanks to the students who went into the entertainment industry and were active, it was a place where many other celebrities also used.

Today we will only do the test and the analysis results will come out next week. There are a few tests that you can do by yourself in the next room. You can do it comfortably and honestly. Dont worry, we wont tell anyone other than your guardian about the test results.

Yes. Thank you.

Seo-jun, who had talked with the doctor, started the test as the doctor told him. 

It was not a intelligence test, but a test of his current psychology, so there was nothing too difficult.

Just.

You draw well too.

In the test where he drew pictures of a house, a tree, a family, a person, etc. to check his current psychological state, he drew pictures that could be hung on the wall.

I take art classes at school.

Seo-jun smiled at the doctors admiration.

The doctor nodded his head, organized the paper, and started the next test.

Ill show you a picture. Tell me the animal that comes to your mind as soon as you see it.

Yes.

When the doctor flipped the card, a picture of black paint splattered appeared. 

Seo-jun answered butterfly at the picture that looked like a burning butterfly.

The doctor nodded his head and wrote something on the paper and flipped other pictures. 

Seo-jun answered with things or emotions or animals that came to his mind first.

Now you can do it by yourself in the next room. Its a quiet place, so feel free to answer honestly.

Yes. I understand.

Seo-jun took the test papers from the doctor and headed to the next room. 

The small room was quiet but cozy, making people feel relaxed.

Seo-jun sat down at the prepared desk and opened the first test paper. 

It was to fill in sentences with blanks.

1. 1. I am happy when I ____.

Seo-jun picked up a pencil and wrote act.

He filled in 30 sentences at a speed that was neither slow nor fast.

Done!

When he finished the first test, Seo-jun opened the next test paper. 

About thirty minutes passed like that. 

He finished all the tests with multiple choice answers and stretched his body around and went outside.

Teacher. Im done.

Really?

The doctor who received the test papers from Seo-jun smiled and said.

The results will come out next week. Please come again.

Yes! Thank you.

When Seo-jun went outside, Han Ji Ho, who had finished earlier, got up from his seat.

He had gone into another counseling room at about the same time as Ji Ho, but Ji Ho came out first and Seo-jun opened his eyes wide.

When did you finish?

They said not to worry, so I just said what came to my mind and it ended quickly.

Did you really say what came to your mind?

Yeah. Didnt you?

At Ji Hos question, Seo-jun smiled with a subtle expression.

To be honest, when he asked what animal it looked like when he saw a picture that looked like a burning butterfly, he thought of Osmos, an animal from his previous life that looked exactly like the picture, and when he asked what animal came to mind from a picture that looked like mud scattered around, he thought of how song slime exploded with a loud noise when angry and became like scattered mud.

Seo-jun tried to erase those thoughts and answered with what came to his mind next according to reality.

I did it honestly too. But I dont know how it will turn out.

At Seo-juns worried words, Han Ji Ho shrugged his shoulders and said.

Its over now and theres nothing we can do about it. Do you want to eat something in front of you?

Yeah. Lets do that.

Seo-jun sent a message to Anh Da Ho and his parents that he had finished his health checkup and nodded at Ji Hos words.

***

The doctor analyzed the test papers of the Mirinae High School students who came today.

He wrote down one by one information to tell them at next weeks consultation while recalling their appearance seen by computer-generated results and his own eyes.

And it was [Seo-jun Lee]'s turn.

There was nothing to worry about. 

His personality was bright and he was working hard on his own path, so he was less worried than other kids. 

His relationship with his family and friends was good, and his happy current appearance was reflected as it was.

There was one thing that stood out among them.

His mind for acting is very strong.

This is similar to the kids in the acting department

He felt that Seo-jun Lee, the actor, sincerely liked what he was doing now, that is, acting, from various tests.

Its different.

Even compared to the Mirinae High School students he had been in charge of so far, it was very intense.

Usually, when the name becomes known and famous, the satisfaction level increases and the desperation disappears.

He was an actor who made his name known to the world and even received an Academy Award, but he wanted to try an audition once, a minor role once, compared to other people who wanted to do more and better acting.

Seo-juns obsession with acting was evident in every result.

Did a ghost who died because he couldnt act stick to him?

It felt like he had looked into the source of Seo-jun Lee, the actor who made his whole body tingle with his acting.
