Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 43

“Ready, action!”

The machine that created wind started working. Seojun’s red hanbok gently moved along with the wind.

“Long time no see, child. How appetizing did you became now? I should have eaten you then.”

Lee Ji-seok said with a rough voice and giggled.

“But, what’s in you? I should be the one eating you! I’ve been waiting until you tasted better!”

The shaman bell Seojun was holding shook loudly and made a clattering sound.

Lee Ji-seok sounded even harsher.

The staff from the side got goosebumps at his voice.

“Who took you before me?”

Since there was no line from Seojun, Lee Ji-seok had to find the right timing.

He needed to give time for the child shaman and God to talk.

Somehow, Lee Ji-seok felt like he could hear their conversation through Seojun’s expression.

Seojun’s expression was a bit hesitant right now.

“Huck!”

Lee Ji-seok fell to the floor.

“Hahaha!”

Here comes the voice of the evil spirit, and Seojun looked at Lee Ji-seok with pitiful eyes.

Again.

Even though it was just a facial expression, Lee Ji-seok seemed to hear Seojun and God talking.

Everyone held their breath.

He saw the script that one of the staff was holding. The staff next to him read the script.

God: Wait. We have to wait.

Child shaman: But. He’s hurt. I need to heal him.

God: You are too soft-hearted. That’s why I choose you. But wait.

“Wow. How could he do that?”

In Seojun’s facial expression, the lines of God and the child shaman seemed to be heard.

“Beg! He is so soft that he’ll make you feel comfortable as soon as you ask! Like this! You want to be comfortable, don’t you? You want to go back to normal, don’t you?”

Lee Ji-seok was even more fired up, as he could go all the way there with his facial expression.

He was now immersed to his role from hand to toe.

Jingle!

The shaman’s bell shook and Lee Ji-seok was immersed in evil acting.

The director Choi Dae-man, and some staff members of the staff saw it from the monitor.

A golden aura emanated from the body of a small child standing behind a hanok. The power of [Bubbly Goblin’s teasing of Kim] was being revealed outside.

A pitch-dark night.

The gold color wrapped around Lee Seojun.

“Uh…….”

A staff member who saw it pointed at Lee Seojun with his fingers. However, even the staff who didn’t see the aura were so into Lee Seojun and Lee Ji-seok’s passionate acting that they didn’t even noticed their co-staff bewildered.

Everyone held their breath and swallowed their saliva.

Seojun finally opened his mouth. It was his first line.

“To heaven and earth, there shall be rain.”

With Seojun’s voice, Lee Ji-seok came to his senses and continued his acting.

“$@^&%&@!!!!”

Lee Ji-seok screamed as if he were really scared of becoming a demon.

There was also a staff member stepping back at the loud noise.

‘Is it futile?’

With a golden aura rising from Lee Seojun’s body, something black seemed to shake within Lee Ji-seok’s body.

Choi Dae-man rubbed his eyes.

On second thought, only the golden aura was moving briskly.

“Let the great soul leave upon this body,”

Seojun threw away the amulet on his left hand.

Like when he practiced, the goblin’s energy blew away the talisman beautifully. Fortunately, the staff in charge, who was watching the two actors in a daze, pressed tye button at the right timing.

Fire!

When the fire broke out in a circle, the place where Lee Seojun and Lee Ji-seok were standing was like a different world.

They knew what would happen, but the staff inhaled without even realizing it.

“The power to burn the dull evil!”

With Seojun’s voice, a golden aura rushed towards Lee Ji-seok.

“?!”

Lee Ji-seok, who was genuinely surprised, screamed and rolled around the floor.

A staff member who could not see the aura also swallowed his breath with Lee Ji-seok’s acting.

There was like a real fire.

He got goosebumps.

Jingle!

Seojun shook the bell with both hands.

It was the ringing sound from the large hanok house yard, making such a loud noise.

“The power to destroy that source!”

The gold flames intensified.

He was worried that it would be awkward to act on fire without fire, whether it was good or bad, but Lee Ji-seok as if he was really on fire.

“Thanks to you, I know how to handle the soul!”

Lee Ji-seok said his lines and looked at the golden aura running around him with tired eyes.

‘Is this really futile?’

‘Goblin Fire?’

Lee Ji-seok, who unexpectedly got the answer right, collapsed to the floor when the timing disappeared. Seojun collapsed too.

It was the end.

“Cut.”

Choi Dae-man, who had been holding his hands tightly while watching the monitor and the scene alternately, finally opened his mouth. And shouted out loud.

“OK!”

When Lee Seojun and Lee Ji-seok were about to talk, Assistant Director Cho clapped hands without realizing it.

Clap clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap clap!

“Wow!”

Applause broke out among the staff.

“First of all, shall we take a break?”

“Yes, thank you.”

“No, I’ve never seen such a great performance before.”

Seojun and Lee Ji-seok roughly wiped away the dirt and settled around the monitor.

“Let’s watched and discuss about it.”

Director Choi Dae-man showed a video taken by the two actors.

“You must consider the voice of evil spirits and the voice of God.”

As Director Choi said, the middle of the acting was empty without lines, but just the voices and gestures of the two actors filled the screen, so it didn’t feel awkward.

Lee Ji-seok looked at the screen, but he couldn’t find a ghost. It must have been his imagination.

After the video, Lee Ji-seok said with a smile.

“We don’t need to retake it.”

“I know. Both of you are so good. If I have a chance to release this video later, I really would want to.”

“Seojun is so good at acting……. Is Seojun sleeping?”

“…what?”

Seojun’s eyes were half closed.

The adults laughed.

He was still six years old.

It was normal that he was tired after such a great performance.

Director Choi Dae-man opened his mouth.

“Go to bed now.”

“Bust shoot…… I have to take it…”

“Your shoot this time is okay. You can take it tomorrow. I’m shooting here until the day after tomorrow anyway.”

“Yeah, I guess you worked hard today. You are tired, so you need to go to bed early.”

When the actor Lee Ji-seok said that, Seojun rolled his eyes and nodded.

“Then I’ll go to bed first. Good night.”

“Take a good rest!”

Kim Hee-sung, who was sitting behind Seojun, carried Seojun.

Seojun, who was in Kim Hee-sang’s arms, quickly fell asleep.

“Wow, director. Look at this. My hands are shaking.”

Lee Ji-seok, who was pretending to be relaxed in front of the child actor, leaned his back against the background and raised his hand as soon as Seojun disappeared from their sight.

Choi Dae-man, who understood the condition of Lee Ji-seok from the beginning, laughed. The assistant director went to inform the staff that the filming was over.

“I really thought Seojun was going to burn me.”

“I think you acted in the same level.”

“Same level? If Seojun and I are on the same level, It would have been big deal.”

He had a bright face for someone who said it was a big deal.

Lee Ji-seok talked happily.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a fun shoot. I didn’t think about anything and just acted. I become a real evil spirit, Su-hyuk. Afraid of God. And… Being on fire.”

Was there really nothing around him? Lee Ji-seok then held his ankle, which felt hot.

“Me too…….”

Director Choi Dae-man smoothed the corners of his mouth that he was trying to raise without even realizing it.

“I don’t know how would it come out after editing, but I’m looking forward to it and my heart is racing.”

As they saw earlier, the reenactment of the golden aura might produce a better-than-expected scene.

The two people, who thought they were the only ones who saw the aura, laughed.

“I see. The director will be the first one to see the finished version, right? I can’t imagine myself in the movie. What kind of movie will it be?”

“Ji-seok, hurry up and rest. Tomorrow, we’ll have a close-up shoot and bust shoot.”

“By the way, can we pull this off tomorrow again?”

Even in his opinion, he poured all his energy into the shoot.

Maybe because the camera was out of sight. It was a full shot, so he was able to immerse myself more.

But they are filming this again?

With the camera right in front of them? Director Choi Dae-man laughed at Lee Ji-seok’s concerns.

“It’s okay if it doesn’t come out well. It would still be perfect if I only put the full shot in the movie. Don’t worry, just relax.”

“I may not do it comfortably, but I’ll do my best.”

The two laughed.
