When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar

Dowook was a little embarrassed, but naturally pulled his hand away and smiled awkwardly.

If it had been filmed on a set, I would have said more, but since it was an outdoor film, there were a lot of onlookers, including supporting actors. It was better not to make unnecessary noise.

However, at the time of the last script reading, Jeong I-wook smiled sadly and accepted Do-wook’s greeting.

At the time of the script reading, there was a friendly atmosphere. Of course, Joo Min-ah, whom Do-wook felt uncomfortable with, was also present at the scene, but it wasn’t the actress herself that made her uncomfortable, but rather the fact that her agency was Ara Entertainment.

In addition, at the production presentation after the script reading, it was Jeong I-wook who called Do-wook ‘junior’ and praised him in front of reporters, saying that he seemed to be really good at acting.

However, when he came to the filming site, it was difficult for Do-wook to understand what was going on as Jeong I-wook was in a cold mood.

Since I had never contacted or met him separately since the production presentation, I couldn’t even tell if Jeong Yi-wook had had a change of heart or if he was in a bad mood today.

However, the reason Do-wook was overcome with an ominous feeling was because Jeong I-wook, who passed by Do-wook, was talking to Wang Hee-jin with a very smiling face.

“Are you dressed up as drunk, sister?”

“sister? “No, I told you not to call me sister!”

“haha. all right. Seniors.”

“No, not even you, senior! “Call me Heejin.”

“I dare say your name…”

“This is the truth.”

Wang Hee-jin glanced at Jeong I-wook without being hateful. The two became close friends after appearing in the same drama about 5 years ago. Although the two were actors of the same age, Wang Hee-jin was born earlier, so Jeong I-wook seemed to be joking around by calling her older sister.

‘Hmm…’

Do-wook gave Jeong I-wook a look and then prepared for filming by playing his lines in his head.

As filming began, Wang Hee-jin, who was chatting with Jeong I-wook, also showed a fierce concentration.

The burden of this was definitely Do-wook and Do-wook, but it was greatly affecting Wang Hee-jin. Wang Hee-jin tried to maintain her best condition and show her best appearance. Perhaps thanks to this, Wang Hee-jin’s beauty was shining day by day even during busy filming. She seemed to shine even brighter than when she was in her prime before marriage.

Wang Hee-jin stumbles, pretending to be drunk, and people gather around.

Although an auxiliary actor awkwardly said the line “I am Han Song-hee” and there was an NG, Wang Hee-jin’s drunken acting was so realistic that it almost smelled like soju. Director Ahn Cheol-hwan was satisfied and gave the OK sign.

Next was a scene where Do-wook played the role of Wang Hee-jin’s manager.

Do-wook and Wang Hee-jin had already filmed the first and second episodes and were in perfect harmony. Wang Hee-jin was very proud, saying that even though Do-wook had little experience filming dramas, he was able to adapt the acting more skillfully than most experienced people.

Wang Hee-jin had already felt good about Do-wook during their first meeting. In addition, because Do-wook showed a perfect appearance even at the filming site, trust in Do-wook was already considerable.

The two people worked together perfectly and finished the scene without a single NG. Bust shots, close-up shots, movement, finger movements, facial expressions, everything was perfect.

There was even a scene where Do-wook used some supernatural powers. Even in a scene that could have been very comical, with no CG applied and only moving his fingers in the air, Do-wook didn’t even blink and acted as if he were someone who really had super powers. there was.

Cut cut cut!

Director Ahn Cheol-hwan’s voice, calling the ‘cut’ sound, resonated cheerfully throughout the scene.

Dowook wiped the sweat from his forehead while listening to the cut sound.

Do-wook was wearing a shirt, suit pants, and a beige trench coat that office workers would wear, befitting his role in the play as ‘Chief of Staff’. It felt a bit hot to wear under the autumn sunlight.

“It was good, it was good! “I’ll be able to take pictures of everything before the sun goes down!”

Director Ahn Cheol-hwan said cheerfully before starting the next scene. The earlier the filming ended, the better, and the same was true for the staff who received daily wages. Supporting actors and onlookers also gathered together and were busy praising Wang Hee-jin and Do-wook’s appearance and acting.

Next was the scene where Jeong Yi-wook appeared. It was a scene where Jeong I-wook stopped Do-wook from taking Wang Hee-jin to a deserted place.

“Songhee?! Han Song hee! It’s dangerous to go out alone like that…”

The sight of Jeong I-wook approaching with great strides was reminiscent of a model’s runway. It felt even more so because his body was plastered all over with luxury goods to match his role as a third-generation chaebol.

Although he was a supporting actor, he was liked by many people for his good looks, so there was no discomfort at all when he was caught on screen with Do-wook. In fact, when the two people were caught in one shot, the female assistant director who was monitoring was impressed.

Jeong I-wook, who was approaching Wang Hee-jin and holding on to the stumbling Wang Hee-jin, spotted Do-wook and sharpened his blade.

“What are you? “What are you doing next to Songhee?”

“Then what is that one?”

When Do-wook raised his eyebrows as if he was offended, Jeong I-wook’s expression crumpled.

“Can’t you let go of that hand?!”

“Even if you let it go, I’ll let it go when I want to.”

“No, that’s it… Oh, my head hurts. “Be quiet…”

Wang Hee-jin said something else, saying that he had a headache because he was drunk. Jeong I-wook, who was crumpling as if he had become even more heated by Do-wook’s hard voice, pushed Do-wook’s shoulder, which was holding Wang Hee-jin’s wrist.

“Ugh!”

When Dowook, who was defenseless, was pushed out, tension arose between the two.

“Cut! NG!”

Director Ahn Cheol-hwan sent the NG sign.

Upon hearing Director Ahn’s signature, the three people who were acting relaxed and looked towards the director.

“I liked Do-wook, but I think that was too exaggerated.”

Dowook nodded at Director Ahn’s words. It wasn’t a situation where there was a big push, but a slight push, and it was a situation where you only had to be pushed enough to lose Wang Hee-jin’s wrist. The point in the video was the wrist that was narrowly missed. However, Dowook moaned in pain so loudly that it was caught on audio.

“Aren’t you pushing too hard?”

Wang Hee-jin jokingly asked Jeong I-wook. Jeong I-wook smiled his usual sad smile and answered in a soft tone.

“uh? No way. My sister too. Mr. Dowook, were you sick?”

When Jeong Yi-wook asked with a smile on his face, Do-wook was dumbfounded and couldn’t give any answer.

In fact, it wasn’t acting that made the sound. Pretending to push lightly, Jeong I-wook pushed Do-wook very hard. Do-wook felt pain and his expression crumpled from the unexpected force.

While Do-wook was delaying his answer, filming resumed.

“…!”

I wondered if it would happen again this time, but it happened again. It was intentional.

This time, I didn’t make a sound because I had thought about it in advance, but I couldn’t help but reflexively distort my face.

‘Why on earth…’

Do-wook thought to himself and listened to director Ahn Cheol-hwan’s feedback. Coach Ahn Cheol-hwan was surprised when Do-wook, who had been doing well so far, gave an NG in a part that was not very difficult.

“Do-wook, this is a bit too much this time. Because the character doesn’t have that much emotion…”

“Yes. “I will be careful.”

“is it so. “It’s hard to push even harder!”

Director Ahn Cheol-hwan added a joke so as not to offend. As Jeong I-wook pushed Do-wook, it seemed like he didn’t put any effort into it, so he didn’t seem to think that Do-wook was really in pain.

Wang Hee-jin winked at Do-wook as if this level of NG was okay, and then stood for a moment and left her face to the coordinator to get her makeup touched up.

Do-wook saw Jeong I-wook standing in front of him. Jeong Iwook’s expression was ordinary. It was a calmness that could not be imagined as someone who was pushing Do-wook so hard.

“Not all frowning is acting, right? “You have to express it delicately.”

Jeong I-wook advised Do-wook in a quiet voice. It’s called advice, but in the current situation, it’s no different from a fight. Dowook sighed inwardly.

The reason was difficult to understand, but he was deliberately provoking Dowook. If a bad story were to come out at a crowded filming location, it was obvious that Do-wook, who was popular, would suffer greater losses.

The other person was an older actor who played a supporting role. Although he was in a position to be respected, it was easy for him to be seen as a weak person in the eyes of the public.

After the filming was over, Do-wook took his gaze away from Jeong I-wook, thinking that he should either talk to him or make a board.

After several NGs, filming for the scene ended.

“Thank you for your effort!”

When Do-wook bowed and bowed, the staff members who were organizing the filming equipment also thanked Do-wook for his hard work.

The next shooting was at a cafe right in front of the street.

The cafe was one of the branches of the franchise cafe where Do-wook will film a new commercial. ‘Bonjour’, a large domestic franchise cafe, selected Do-wook as a model while supporting the production of ‘Lovers from Space’.

Because Wang Hee-jin did not have enough filming time for the cafe scene, Wang Hee-jin returned in a van after the street scene was over. The cafe scene was filmed by Do-wook, Jeong I-wook, and Joo Joo-ah, who plays the sub-female protagonist.

Joo Min-ah appeared in “Lovers from Space” as Jeong Yi-wook’s secretary. It was also a role that liked Jeong I-wook and was jealous of Wang Hee-jin.

Joo Joo-ah, who was waiting nearby and came to the cafe when she heard that filming for the street scene was coming to an end, got out of the van and immediately rushed towards director Ahn Cheol-hwan.

“Director!”

“Oh, is our Minah here?”

Director Ahn Cheol-hwan’s expression brightened noticeably.

Do-wook had already worked with Joo Min-ah while filming ‘Get Ready 1999’. Although she was personally wary of Douk because she was a celebrity affiliated with Ara Entertainment, even at the time, Joo Joo Ah had a bright and friendly personality and was loved by directors and especially older male actors.

“Hello~ Assistant Director!”

Joo Joo-ah greeted the male assistant director next to Director Ahn Cheol-hwan in a charming tone, and the assistant director blushed and greeted her.

Joo Joo-ah’s beauty was even more beautiful than in ‘Get Ready 1999’. She looked very sexy wearing a V-neck shirt with a deep cut that showed her cleavage, a short suit skirt, transparent black stockings, and high heels.

After greeting the production team, the person Joo Joo-ah greeted was none other than Do-wook.

“Mr. Dowook! Nice to meet you~!”

“ah. hello.”

It was also Joo Joo-ah’s first time on set. When Do-wook received Joo-wook’s greeting, Joo-wook tried to become close to him by talking about various things, just like in ‘Get Ready 1999’.

Do-wook continued the conversation with Joo Min-ah while maintaining a certain distance.

“hmm.”

Jeong Iwook, who was waiting for Joo Joo-ah to greet him behind him, cleared his throat. Joo Min-ah, who belatedly discovered Jeong I-wook because she wanted to become friends with Do-wook, realized her mistake and greeted Jeong I-wook with surprised eyes.

It was not polite to greet Do-wook first over Jeong I-wook, who was much more senior.

“Seniors! hello! “How have you been?”

Jeong Yi-wook looked down at Joo Min-ah with cold eyes and said one thing.

“Thanks to. not really.”

At Jeong Iwook’s answer, the atmosphere between the three suddenly became cold. Juminah tried to laugh it off, but Jeong Iwook just passed by Juminah and went to his van. Juminah looked embarrassed and said, ‘Senior.’ I called out, but Jeong Iwook didn’t look back.

Do-wook perfectly understood Jeong I-wook’s intentions at that moment.
